Chapter 359: Chapter 255. Please give me a copy of ’Tongue Twisters Complete Collection’ (4000 words!)_2

Magong Yongshi got weakened?

Beichuan Si suddenly thought of this.

Magong Yongshi had once asked him to help extract the Essential Stone.

The Essential Stone could cleanse resentments but was also enormously effective at weakening spiritual bodies.

After that, Magong Yongshi also held the Shinra Flower Welcoming Ritual... Thinking about it now, it was probably a miracle that he didn’t just disappear.

And the system reward was to awaken the consciousness of any good spirit.

Was the reward eventually given to Shenzhu Shihui?

But from Shenzhu Shihui, Beichuan Si also knew that Magong Yongshi’s situation had greatly improved. He guessed that as long as the Shinra Bell continued to absorb resentments and convert them into good intentions, Magong Yongshi would also awaken.

"Mr. Beichuan should have... figured it out, right?"

Seeing his expression, Shenzhu Shihui felt sure and calmly asked in return.

"Yes, but I still have a third question to ask you."

Beichuan Si temporarily set aside Magong Yongshi’s situation and asked, "Miss Shihui, is there a way for good spirits to return to a living body?"

Uh...?

Shenzhu Shihui was stunned.

But she quickly recovered and answered, "It’s possible... but there are many conditions."

"Each body corresponds uniquely to one soul, and if it’s not one’s own body, the soul... can’t enter. Even if it does enter... it’s just... courting death. Ah... not right... I’m already dead."

Shenzhu Shihui, maybe speaking at length for the first time, stuttered, making her feel awkward.

But the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made, and her speech became even more disjointed.

Shenzhu Shihui’s explanation was simple.

Just like the rejection reaction of human organs, human souls also have their own properties.

If it’s not one’s own body, a soulless spiritual body, upon entering, will be rejected by that body.

If it insists on controlling the body, it will be completely sealed within the body until the spiritual body dissipates.

"Only... general resentful spirits or good spirits are unable to control... bodies... only those... with their own consciousness... might be able to... and moving using ordinary people’s bodies... that’s too troublesome..."

"Resentful spirits can also control human bodies?"

Beichuan Si’s expression changed as he asked in return.

"With the Blood of Yellow Springs offered... resentful spirits can forcefully enter a corpse. It is possible because their intelligence is no different from ordinary people."

Shenzhu Shihui coughed forcefully twice.

Beichuan Si couldn’t be bothered to expose her for covering up her stammer.

After all, can such a spiritual body like hers even ’cough’?

Rather, it was her mention of ’spirits with intelligence no different from ordinary people’ that caught his attention.

Shenzhu Zhong, as a ritual miko who slaughtered everyone at Shenzhu Shrine, still had no consciousness.

Beiyeliang, as a user of evil curses, could only maintain part of his sanity...

If there really were resentful spirits with human-like intelligence—

"A higher level?"

Beichuan Si murmured to himself.

High-level resentful spirits...

Beichuan Si had never encountered any.

But not having encountered them didn’t mean they didn’t exist.

At least like what Nakajima Hiroto, father of Nakajima Michika from Kagoshima, had discovered which could affect reality’s spiritual realm buildings, there should be high-level resentful spirits causing trouble.

But the other party never left the spiritual realm buildings that only appeared at midnight, which meant there must be some restrictions there.

Otherwise, Kagoshima would have already been flooded with various kinds of news.

"Miss Shihui, there’s something I need your help with," Beichuan Si put aside the myriad thoughts in his mind and turned back to request.

Shenzhu Shihui didn’t refuse but instead looked at Beichuan Si with those big eyes, "What is it?"

"About letting good spirits return to their bodies."

"...I, I understand... Was it the one we saw below just now?" Magong Shihui nodded slightly.

Her soul’s strength was much stronger than that of Dubian Kyoko, hence why she could hide from Dubian Kyoko, who couldn’t detect her, but she could easily sense Dubian Kyoko.

Perhaps this was one of the abilities of the Soul Suppressing Twins.

"No, but... I also have a request..." Shenzhu Shihui took a deep breath.

"Um, I know." Beichuan Si nodded as if he had anticipated it.

"??? You... know?" Shenzhu Shihui opened her mouth, a flush of confusion and annoyance appearing on her pale face: "You... are talking nonsense! How... could you know!? I haven’t even... said it yet."

But Beichuan Si just shook his head and clearly stated, "I know what you want."

What utter nonsense!

Shenzhu Shihui was so angry that her spiritual body trembled; if she were alive, her face would probably be red by now.

And how could Beichuan Si possibly know what she wanted?

She hadn’t said anything yet!

"You tell me, what do I want?" Shenzhu Shihui spoke so agitatedly that her words came out smoothly.

Beichuan Si glanced at her sideways and replied continuously, "You want a tongue twister book, right?"

Ugh!!!!

Shenzhu Shihui was stunned, then shouted both shyly and angrily, "You... What nonsense!"

How could this person be so blatantly direct?

"Don’t you want it?" Beichuan Si asked again.

Hearing this, Shenzhu Shihui fell silent.

Because Beichuan Si had actually guessed correctly... She really did want a tongue twister book...

After all, practicing tongue twisters seemed to help with her stuttering.

But she couldn’t get such a thing in the shrine initially; she had only heard others mention it occasionally.

As an older sister, Shenzhu Shihui didn’t want Magong Yongshi to wake up and still see her stuttering,

"If you don’t want it then forget it. I apologize for what I said earlier. Sorry, Miss Shihui."

Beichuan Si’s expression turned solemn, and he coldly began to apologize—

Before Beichuan Si could finish speaking, Shenzhu Shihui stomped her foot in urgency:

"No! I do... I want the tongue twister book!"

If she weren’t in her spiritual body state, she would have bitten her tongue.

"So it’s settled. A tongue twister book, right? I’ll keep an eye out when I go to the bookstore," Beichuan Si nodded.

"Great, great... Thank you very much."

Shenzhu Shihui bowed while looking at Beichuan Si like this.

Honestly, if it weren’t for Beichuan Si’s expressionless face all the time, Shenzhu Shihui would have doubts about whether he was deliberately teasing her or not.

But—

That probably wasn’t the case?

Mr. Beichuan seemed pretty honest.

Thinking this far, Shenzhu Shihui steered the conversation back to Dubian Kyoko:

"When you need my help, I will come out and guide you... the good spirits returning to her own body just needs... me to create a pathway."

"I understand. I’ll also keep an eye on the tongue twister book issue, thanks Miss Shihui."

"No, don’t always keep... the tongue twister book on your lips!"

Shenzhu Shihui was going crazy, she felt increasingly unwell, seeing Beichuan Si’s unchanging expressionless face, she simply floated away angrily, returning to the Shinra Bell.

Huh?

Beichuan Si was somewhat puzzled.

Wasn’t the "tongue twister book" what Shenzhu Shihui wanted? Why did she seem angry about it?

Showing one’s hand during negotiations is also something that should be done, right?

This young girl is quite unusual.

Thinking this way, it seems Magong Yongshi’s gentle nature is a bit better—at least she’s easier to command.

But none of that mattered now...

Beichuan Si tiptoed to the door, then raised his hand to open his room door.

Bang!

The sound of a body falling to the ground was heard.

"Miss Nakajima, eavesdropping without someone’s consent isn’t good," Beichuan Si said while looking at Nakajima Michika, who fell.

"Hehe... hehe..." Nakajima Michika wore an embarrassed, helpless grin on her bold face.

Seeing her like this, Beichuan Si also sighed lightly.

There was a reason why his items were getting saltier at home.

After all, Nakajima Michika was a Salty Egg, Beichuan Huili was a Salty Egg.

These two equally salty items clashing only led to increasing saltiness.

"Come in, I’ll tell you everything."

Tired of talking, Beichuan Si opened the way and said.
