"This is..."
His mental perception covered a radius of a thousand meters, and two rather special existences caught Lin's interest.
Based on their characteristics, they were human.
One of them had a powerful Aura.
Meaning, strong life energy.
Of course, this was in comparison to ordinary humans.
The other person's life energy was also very strong.
Moreover, it gave him a fleeting, elusive feeling, unlike the other person's which was directly exposed.
Near the two of them, Lin also sensed evil spirits.
"That's interesting."
Since his interest was piqued, Lin immediately changed direction.
To see what was going on.
It might be related to that unknown yokai worldview.
He was a bit far from them.
About nine hundred meters away, and they were still moving.
About fifteen minutes later.
Lin found his targets.
The targets were two girls.
They looked about fifteen or sixteen, likely high school students.
One had short orange hair.
Her right fringe was swept to the side, held by a red hair clip.
Her skin was fair, and her looks were outstanding.
Compared to her face, her figure was undoubtedly even more remarkable.
The curve of her clothes, stretched taut, stood proudly like two mountains.
A generous bosom, yet a humble spirit.
The other one had waist-length black hair, with ends fading to purple.
Her features were delicate, and her appearance was proper.
She had a pair of beautiful golden eyes, like amber.
She was undoubtedly a beautiful girl.
Her front was somewhat unremarkable, one could only say that small was also cute.
She had slight dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well the night before.
Taking in their appearances and characteristics, Lin instantly knew who these two beautiful girls were.
The long black hair belonged to Yotsuya Miko.
The protagonist from the *Mieruko-chan* worldview.
One day, she suddenly gained the powerful ability of 'spiritual sight', allowing her to see and hear spirits from the inner world.
And these spirits were almost all various kinds of evil spirits.
Therefore, she could only pretend not to see the evil spirits, trying her best to suppress her fear and remain calm to save her life.
The orange-haired girl was her best friend, named Yurikawa Hana.
She possessed a special physique.
Not only was her life energy far beyond that of ordinary people, but she could also replenish depleted life energy by eating.
Therefore, she was often targeted by evil spirits.
When her life energy was abnormally consumed, she would feel hungry, turning her into a glutton.
Excessive consumption of life energy could also lead to life-threatening danger.
At this moment, she was being targeted.
A terrifying-looking evil spirit was following beside her, gradually absorbing her life energy.
The nearby Yotsuya Miko swept her gaze over it with her peripheral vision.
Her eyes trembled slightly, but she could only pretend not to see.
Her best friend was targeted by an evil spirit, yet she was powerless.
Besides her helplessness, there was also the fear born of instinct.
After all, evil spirits were too terrifying; how could she not be afraid?
And she didn't want to be killed.
'God, why did you make me see such terrifying things? Is there anyone who can save me?'
Yotsuya Miko cried out helplessly in her heart.
The horrific experiences of this period were close to making her break down.
Meanwhile, Yurikawa Hana was completely unaware of her perilous situation.
Feeling a little hungry, she took out a small snack, a chocolate bar, from her bag, then looked at Yotsuya Miko:
"Miko, do you want some?"
As she spoke, she offered the chocolate bar to Yotsuya Miko.
"No, thank you."
Yotsuya Miko maintained her composure, gently shaking her head.
"Alright then."
Yurikawa Hana smiled upon hearing this, happily eating her chocolate bar.
As she ate, her gradually weakening life energy, like adding fuel to a fire, surged vigorously once again.
This even made the evil spirit somewhat uncomfortable.
That evil spirit had to put some distance between them, waiting for the life energy to calm down before absorbing it again.
It opened its large, toothless mouth.
Streaks of black mist swirled like a vortex in its mouth, gradually devouring Yurikawa Hana's life energy.
"It's my turn to make an entrance."
Seeing this, Lin smiled slightly and walked towards them.
Soon, the three met face to face.
"Hello."
Lin stopped and greeted Yotsuya Miko and the other girl.
"Uh, hello!"
Lin's sudden approach startled both Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana, leaving them somewhat bewildered.
'He's way too handsome!'
Looking at Lin, Yurikawa Hana felt a surge of admiration.
She couldn't help but ask:
"Um, excuse me, do you need something from us?"
Yotsuya Miko said nothing, studying Lin, a hint of curiosity and doubt appearing in her eyes.
She focused her attention on him.
Based on her observation, it seemed that as long as she didn't let evil spirits realize she could see them, they couldn't harm her.
So, the best method right now was to divert her attention, making herself ignore the evil spirits' presence.
The two looked at Lin, and despite his sudden approach, no feelings of rejection arose in their hearts.
After all, his appearance made it very difficult for them to dislike him.
Lin smiled slightly and said:
"My name is Lin. I'm something of a paranormal story enthusiast, and I'd like to interview you both, if I may?"
When out and about, one's identity is naturally self-assigned.
"A paranormal story enthusiast, interviewing us..."
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana were slightly taken aback.
Yurikawa Hana was somewhat bewildered.
She seemed not to have expected that Lin, this super handsome guy, would actually like paranormal stories, finding his interests quite peculiar.
She couldn't help but frown slightly.
She actually really disliked discussing topics like ghosts and monsters.
The reason was simple: fear.
As for Yotsuya Miko, upon hearing the words 'paranormal story', her pupils constricted slightly, and her hands clenched into fists.
This was a subconscious reaction.
Glancing at Lin, Yurikawa Hana smoothed her slightly furrowed brow, turned to Yotsuya Miko, and asked:
"Miko, is it alright?"
Clearly, she was asking about the interview.
"Miko?"
She noticed Yotsuya Miko seemed to be spacing out, so she called her again.
"Ah…"
Hearing the call, Yotsuya Miko immediately snapped back to attention.
Seeing her look at her with confusion, Yurikawa Hana asked:
"This handsome guy says he wants to interview us, is that okay?"
"N-no problem."
Yotsuya Miko shook her head slightly.
Then she looked at Lin again.
She noticed Lin was looking at her, his smile seemingly meaningful.
Their eyes met, and his starry blue eyes seemed capable of seeing through disguises and peering into one's soul.
"??!!"
Yotsuya Miko's heart inexplicably tightened.
For some reason, she felt a panic as if a secret had been discovered.
This feeling came out of nowhere.
Seeing Yotsuya Miko agree, Yurikawa Hana looked at Lin, suppressing her aversion to topics about ghosts and monsters, and said:
"Then go ahead and ask."
"Oh, right."
She suddenly remembered something, and a mix of curiosity and doubt appeared on her face:
"You said you wanted to interview us, didn't you? Why don't you have any equipment?"
When people interview on TV or online, they usually have filming equipment, or at least a phone.
However, Lin hadn't even taken out his phone.
Lin looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm not that professional; I'm just conducting an oral interview."
"Oh, I see."
Yurikawa Hana's face showed understanding.
Glancing at Yotsuya Miko, Lin asked with a smile:
"First question: Are you afraid of ghosts and monsters?"
