Chapter 139 Player offline

Geto Xia Yu, who is about to go to junior high school, is also trying hard to avoid monsters that ordinary people cannot see.

The young Geto Xia Yu didn't know that he was the only one who could see these ugly and grotesque monsters.

When he pointed at a monster that was entangled in an adult and asked his parents for help in fear, he only received worried greetings from his parents and sympathetic looks from others.

After the adult died because of the "monster", the sympathy of the people around him turned into rejection and hatred - he became what others called "a weird child who curses people".

His parents took him to move, change schools, and see a doctor...but none of these measures worked, as little Getsu could still see those monsters.

But he found that as long as he didn't make eye contact with the monsters, he wouldn't be entangled - it was as if these monsters lived in another world.

Once again, his parents quarreled over his "illness".

Is he really sick? Xia Yujie sat on the swing in the park, looking at the sunset blankly, or...

Is he, who can see monsters, an error in the first place?

Encouraged by the adults, a child of the same age ran over with a ball and asked in a friendly manner: "Hey, are you alone? Do you want to play ball with me?"

Xia Yujie was silent for a while, pointed to the park entrance, turned around and asked, "Can you see what's there?"

"Where?" The child holding the ball leaned out in confusion, "There's nothing there."

Seeing the other person gradually revealing the familiar look that meant "this person is so weird", Xia Yujie let out a long breath, and then he smiled: "Nothing, I'm just kidding."

The child holding the ball also felt relieved: "So that's how it is."

"They all say you're a weird kid, but you don't look like one."

So, Xia Yujie’s “illness” was cured.

His parents no longer quarreled, people around him no longer looked at him strangely, and he had friends of the same age at school... everything was back on track.

He became the "right" being.

Monsters still appear in Geto's life. He has become able to ignore these "mistakes" perfectly, but occasionally he will accidentally make eye contact with a monster.

Whenever this happened, he could only find an excuse to separate from his companions and flee in a hurry.

He's going to be a junior high school student soon... Gasp for breath, while running hard, Geto wiped the sweat from his forehead. He still hadn't found a way to deal with these monsters.

The level of the monster chasing him today was not very high, so he could just find a corner to shake it off - this kind of low-level monster would just repeat the same words over and over again and linger in a fixed area.

Okay, just a little further ahead... Eh? When did a cart appear here? Xia Yujie looked at the cart with the words "Iron T Fire Fighting" on it on the side of the road with some confusion, and -

Both of them were wearing metal armor all over their bodies and were over two meters tall.

Although I am very curious, escaping is more important at the moment.

Xia Yujie increased his running speed.

Then his legs, uncontrollably, carried him to the cart.

This is the first time that Geto Suguru has encountered such a supernatural event:?

At this moment, he saw the monster that had been chasing him. After discovering the darker man with red eyes, he instantly changed direction and rushed towards the man.

Xia Yujie wanted to warn the other party to get out of the way, but when he opened his mouth, what came out was: "Is there anything to eat here?"

No, wait?

Xia Yujie covered his mouth, fearing that he would be manipulated into saying strange things again. His face was already showing an expression of fear mixed with confusion: he always felt that these two iron can monsters were performing some strange magic on him.

At this time, the dark iron man said: "There is nothing to sell in the store right now..."

Is this an answer to his question? Then can he leave now?

“Let’s develop new dishes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark monster pulled out the heavy sword he had been carrying on his back - Xia Yujie was surprised that it was not a prop but a real weapon - and with a leap and a chop, the monster was destroyed.

It’s not quite right to say that it disappeared. When the monster was about to disappear, the weirdo stretched out his hand again, and black mist emerged from his palm, rolling the monster into a pitch-black ball.

So... so cool!

When Xia Yujie looked at the dark monster, his eyes turned into sparkling stars.

The heavy sword, the armor, the hidden face... these points combined are enough to drive a boy who is entering his second year of high school crazy.

The black monster handed the monster ball in his hand to the metal monster, and he seemed to tell him some cooking tips... Speaking of which, there seemed to be some kitchen utensils on this cart?

But iron T putting out fire... do these words have any special meaning?

I am not really a homebody. Even if I surf the Internet, I just play Pokemon or traditional RPG games. Naturally, I don't have any netizens from other countries, and naturally I don't understand some of the cultures of neighboring countries that may not be exported.

Having been fascinated by the mysterious iron can man, Xia Yujie tried hard to think about the meaning of these words - this must be a secret code between the mysterious people! If he can solve it, can he become a disciple of the black monster?

After a while, the metal monster stuffed the steaming monster ball into his hand.

Super hot!

Xia Youjie almost dropped the thing.

He said he almost lost it, but it was like the thing was stuck to his hand and he couldn't get rid of it.

The next second, after his legs became uncontrollable, Xia Yujie's hands also had their own ideas - he stuffed the super hot monster ball directly into his mouth.

It’s so... so painful... With tears forced out of his eyes, Xia Yujie swallowed hard and finally swallowed the hot and salty monster ball.

"The food is just ordinary..." the numbed mouth automatically outputs, "I hope I can eat something more valuable next time."

No... Xia Yujie, who was gradually feeling numb inside, thought that there wouldn't be a next time.

Even though the dark monster is super handsome, he doesn't want to suffer again!

Forced to eat the strange thing, Geto "voluntarily" left all his pocket money and left "satisfied".

…

A few days later, Geto Xia came to the cart again.

Although it won't come again, but... Xia Yujie looked at the monster following him quietly with mixed feelings - the one that was killed by the black monster last time and cooked by the metal monster.

On the day he ate the monster ball, Xia Yujie encountered another monster on his way home.

Just when the opponent was about to catch up with him, he suddenly had a very mysterious and strange feeling - when he came to his senses, he summoned the monster he had "eaten" again.

"Spirit Manipulation"

Make the cursed spirit a servant and obey his orders.

This is his ability.

It turns out that these monsters are called cursed spirits... Xia Yujie was thoughtful, and the defeated cursed spirits turned into cursed spirit balls and fell into his hands.

Thinking of the cursed spirit ball he had eaten earlier, Geto Suguru's whole face wrinkled into a ball. If the cursed spirit ball was not cooked by a monster, it shouldn't have such a weird taste, right?

…

It's worse than a cursed ball that has been cooked by a monster.

Xia Yujie, who swallowed a wild curse ball for the first time, held on to the drinking fountain in the park and vomited it for a long time. He then kept drinking water to dilute the taste in his mouth, and only then did he suppress the nausea and disgust.

Like a rag that has been used to wipe up vomit.

Then if he wants to eat cursed spirits that taste better in the future...Kaguya wiped his mouth and smiled bitterly. Does he have to hope that Metal Monster improves his cooking skills?

The Iron Man people should know more about "Cursed Spirits" than he does.

With the intention of learning and getting some Curse Balls to eat, Geto Xia returned to the cart.

Strangely, the cart was upgraded into a small shop in just a few days - about the size of a newsstand, and looking inside the narrow window, one could still see a complete range of kitchen utensils.

The two iron men were not around.

Xia Yujie felt a little lost.

"Hey, kid."

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with a scar on the corner of his mouth, wearing a black tight T-shirt and with a worm-shaped cursed spirit entangled in his body walking towards him.

"Are you a customer?" The man looked him up and down and sneered, "What the hell... is this kind of kid the customer of this store?"

Xia Yujie was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it: "Yes, uncle, where is the owner of this store?"

"The boss has gone to prepare the ingredients." The man scratched his ears and waved his hand impatiently, "This store only opens in the evening. Go home, you little brat."

Even more upset. Xia Yujie clenched his fists, wanting to beat this guy up.

"You don't have to say that—"

A man in sportswear suddenly appeared behind the man with a scar on the corner of his mouth and patted him on the shoulder like a good brother.

"This is a guest! Mr. Shinji, you can't chase them away."

"Dear customer, do you need anything besides food? It only costs five dollars, and the Night Fighting God will serve you quickly, efficiently and economically!"

It feels...it feels like the employees in this store...Kaguya took a step back and swallowed nervously. There's nothing normal about them.

"Tsk, have you finished collecting the ingredients?" Fushiguro Shige slapped Yato's hand away, a little disgusted, "Don't use your stinky, sweaty hands to contaminate the clothes washed by my wife."

"Eh..." Ye Dou's eyes suddenly became empty, "It's so nice... When I get home from get off work, there will be hot and delicious meals waiting for me, and I can lie down on the soft bed to rest... This kind of thing..."

He bit his handkerchief.

"I'm not jealous!"

"One day, my Yato God's shrine will cover every corner of Japan!"

Looking at the posture that Yato suddenly took, Xia Yujie understood: This is what mom and dad always say, the bad adults who haven't gotten rid of their chuunibyou period even after growing up.

“Boom—boom—boom—”

The ground seemed to be shaking slightly.

Suguru looked for the source of the strange sound in confusion.

Fushiguro Shigeki and Yato, however, looked as if they were used to it.

"The captured cursed spirit escaped again?"

"Maybe there's a new cursed spirit nearby?"

"The boss hasn't come back yet, but you came back first... This counts as absenteeism. Give me half of the salary and don't complain."

“Huh?!”

…

Cursed spirit? Boss? Is the metal monster catching cursed spirits? Xia Yujie became even more curious, and while the two people were not paying attention, he slowly walked towards the source of the sound.

Then he saw a wounded cursed spirit that wanted to escape but couldn't escape the metal monster's attack range. It stopped in place tiredly and repeated its words in a particularly resentful tone: "Get off work... Get off work quickly..."

After making sure that the cursed spirit would not escape, the metal monster suddenly took out a bug net, jumped up with a seemingly light and nimble posture, scooped the cursed spirit into the bug net, and slammed it heavily to the ground with a dull "bang".

After completing this set of movements, Metal Monster turned around on the spot - as if he was doing some post-war settlement - and then held his head with his hands, looking cute.

The dark monster clapped enthusiastically and stuffed the oversized cursed spirit into the insect net with all his strength.

If they were game characters, or were much shorter, this would be cute and funny.

but……

Xia Yujie took a step back.

The two-meter-three-meter-tall iron can monster is acting cute, and it looks really scary!
