Thick black blood flowed from its pitch-black eyes, and its mouth was filled with rage.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Why didn't you come to save me? Why didn't you come to save me? You deserve to die, you all deserve to die!
Intense anger caused the car accident ghost child to activate another ability, the ghost car accident.
The brightly lit four-lane road was suddenly interrupted by flashing streetlights.
The faint traffic flowing in different directions at both ends of the road also followed the flashing headlights, increased speed, and the front of the car swayed unsteadily.
Two cars and a truck that were closer to the child who died in the accident suddenly swerved and crashed into the bus stop.
The drivers of all three cars were terrified, slamming on their brakes but unable to stop.
Instead, the car's speed increased, reaching 120 kilometers per hour, threatening to flatten the bus stop.
When Tokachi saw three cars rushing towards them, his pupils contracted, and his two straight, round thighs trembled.
"A car...a car is crashing..."
Even though Zhongli told her there was no need to be afraid, the sight of three cars speeding towards her still terrified her.
Zhongli remained calm in the face of this, and the limit of 20 drops of Void Tear had already condensed on both sides of his sea-blue eyes.
"Let me see if my newly developed move can finish you off in one strike: Void Tear Slash."
As he spoke, Zhongli raised his hand and flicked his fingers.
Suddenly, 20 drops of Void Tears shot out.
As it approached the two cars and the truck, 17 drops of Void Tear split off and quickly stretched and thinned into blades.
brush brush...
The wheels of the three vehicles were cut off, and the ground in front of the vehicles was also cut and broken, creating natural speed bumps.
The three vehicles, now without wheels, rubbed against each other and traveled a distance before being slowed down and coming to a stop in front of Zhongli.
The remaining three drops of Void Tear directly pierced through the car body and arrived in front of the car accident ghost child, instantly spreading out the three tear slashes.
brush brush...
Before the car accident ghost child could even react, its small, twisted ghostly body was instantly split into several pieces.
The head, with black blood flowing from its eyes, lay on the ground, still looking bewildered.
I have absolutely no idea why the car accident he caused was so easily resolved.
That was a car accident that could easily kill a human, but it was stopped by a few drops of tears, and he was even cut into pieces.
The child who died in the car accident was completely bewildered, but he could sense that his soul was gradually dissipating.
The fear of death and resentment towards the living transformed the bewildered child from a state of confusion into one of extreme hatred.
The head rolled on the ground, its gaze fixed on the indifferent Zhong Li, and a childish, hoarse voice uttered the most vicious curse.
"I curse you, I curse you, I curse you to die in a car accident and feel my death pain."
Under this vicious curse, the head of the car accident ghost child slowly dissipated, turning into black mist and disappearing.
The cursed words also reached Zhongli's ears, causing him to frown slightly.
Using both hands to sense his own condition, he found nothing unusual.
Zhongli didn't care since there were no changes on the system panel.
Just take it as the ramblings of the child who died in the car accident.
Even if it's not just empty talk, what can a low-level supernatural curse really do?
Besides, what kind of car accident could possibly hit him, let alone kill him?
Not to brag, but if those three cars had crashed into him and he had stood still without defending himself, he would have only suffered minor injuries at most.
Takanashi Touka stared blankly at Zhongli, her face full of uncertainty.
What she just saw—a few tears streaming from Zhongli's eyes—forced three speeding cars to a stop and shattered the ground.
Could the remaining teardrop penetrate the car body and slay the evil spirit?
When did my tears become so heavy?
So, is this the magic of a magician that my younger sister often talks about in her chuunibyou way?
So, does the invisible boundary line really exist?
So, the truth of the world is idealism, full of all sorts of supernatural phenomena?
Takanashi Toka's worldview is completely shattered.
On the other side, Zhong Li received a notification that the mission was completed and that the car accident ghost child was dead.
Looking behind him, where Touka Touka was still dazed and clutching his clothes, Zhongli reminded her.
"Miss Takanashi, the evil spirit has been eliminated, I should go now."
Do you want to ride back in my car?
Zhongli could understand Takanashi Touka's mental state.
After all, when ordinary people encounter the supernatural, they are mostly terrified and at a loss.
Even if the paranormal situation is resolved, one's worldview will be shattered, and one will be filled with doubt about the world.
Upon hearing the reminder, Tokachi Kotori immediately snapped out of her daze.
Are we leaving?
But what about the car accident that happened here? Shouldn't we go and help the people, and then wait for the police to come and register the accident and handle the compensation?"
As Takanashi Touka spoke, she glanced at the crowd approaching her and at the unconscious drivers in the three cars.
If they run away in public, won't they be held accountable?
Although she didn't break the car, it was Zhongli who severed it with her tears.
But Xiao Niao You Shi Hua clearly knew that Zhong Li had a way to avoid it.
After all, Zhongli wasn't as scared as her, her legs went weak, and she damaged the car entirely to protect her.
Therefore, Tokachi Kotori will take the initiative to assume responsibility.
As for finding the culprit behind the car accident, it's the "car accident ghost child."
Humans...and ghosts are all gone, there's no way to find them now.
Upon hearing what Touka Kotori said, Zhongli cast a look of concern for the mentally challenged.
"Why should we have to pay compensation when we saved someone's life?"
I'm already being quite generous by not asking them for money back.
That's really something. If he hadn't stopped them, those three cars would have been dead if they had crashed into the bus stop at that speed.
He saved someone and now he wants compensation? What kind of logic is that?
Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Takanashi Touka fell silent, as if it were indeed true.
"There's no need to wait for the police to register you."
Such paranormal events will be handled by someone.
Zhong Li was quite satisfied with how Yilutong Company handled the aftermath; it didn't require much of his effort.
Knowing that someone would clean up the mess and that they wouldn't be held accountable, Takanashi Touka breathed a sigh of relief.
Ultimately, it's just the mindset of an ordinary person; it's normal to worry.
She was thinking about how to explain to the police the bizarre supernatural events she had encountered.
"How about I give you a ride?"
Otherwise, I'm leaving!
Zhong Li was in a hurry to go back and take stock of the rewards.
If it weren't for the fact that Tokachi Kotori was a neighbor and a lucky person, he would have disappeared long ago.
"Then I'll trouble you, Zhongli."
Upon being asked again, Takanashi Touka agreed without hesitation.
Having just experienced a paranormal event, she doesn't have the courage to go back alone now.
At the same time, in a deserted funeral home in Chiyoda Ward.
A hearse adorned with white flowers and green leaves, carrying numerous black urns containing ashes, slowly drove out and disappeared into the night.

on the way back.
Zhongli rode Blue Wings slowly forward, with Bird Swimming Tenka sitting behind him.
Because the back of the motorcycle was cramped, she could only wear her clothes right next to Zhongli's back, which made Takanashi Touka's face show a hint of embarrassment.
After all, it was the first time she had ever been so close to a boy.
Fortunately, having been in the workforce for some time, I quickly recovered from this awkward feeling.
Then she remembered the supernatural and became curious about Zhongli, but worried about asking something she shouldn't, so she asked him for his opinion.
"Zhongli, may I ask you some questions?"
Zhongli, who was focused on driving, nodded dismissively when he heard Takanashi Touka's question.
"No need to add me as a classmate, just call me Zhongli. We've been neighbors for several years after all."
As for what you want to ask, just say it.
Zhongli knew about the questions regarding Tokachi Kotori.
After all, after years of living a normal life, suddenly encountering a paranormal event will definitely raise a lot of questions.
Since he happened to be there, it was impossible not to ask him some questions out of curiosity.
Seeing that Zhongli did not refuse and even let her call her by her name, Takanashi Touka felt much more at ease.
“Then Zhongli Jun, you can also call me Shihua.”
After finishing her explanation, Takanashi Toka asked the many questions that had been nagging at her.
"Zhongli-jun, are you an Onmyoji or a magician?"
Also, how common are the evil spirits you encountered at bus stops, the ones you mentioned, that are spiritually powerful?
If I encounter something supernatural again, can I call the police to resolve it?
Or perhaps you should seek blessings at a temple or shrine?
The reason why Takanashi Touka asked these questions was firstly because she was curious about Zhongli's identity.
Secondly, I worry that there might be a lot of supernatural phenomena in this world.
Thirdly, I want to know how to resolve paranormal issues so that she can feel at ease.
The third question is the most important.
After all, the supernatural is terrifying; Takanashi Touka has already witnessed it, where someone can control a car and decide the life or death of another with a flick of their wrist.
She is very worried that she won't be able to handle it if she encounters it in the future.
After listening to Toka's series of questions, Zhongli answered without hesitation.
"First of all, I am a spirit master, not an onmyoji or a magician."
Zhongli corrected the way he was addressed and continued.
"Secondly, if we're talking about the overall paranormal activity, we can only say there's a great deal of it, and it's everywhere."
However, most of them are very weak and cannot affect humans; only a few supernatural entities can have an impact.
The fact that no abnormalities were found in Zhongli's daily life over the past 17 years proves this point.
