Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Some things, although they don't comply with legal procedures, think about the people who were saved, including that female classmate of yours and her sister. Don't you think 'Mask' is a true hero?”

Yozora seemed to be persuaded by Soichiro Yagami, nodding very sincerely.

“Yeah, a hero secretly protecting Kyoto, so cool. Even if he opens a harem, I believe he would be forgiven by everyone.”

“You kid, don't talk nonsense.”

… …

After Yozora left, Soichiro Yagami watched the other party's back, shaking his head with a dumb smile, thinking that this kid was about the same age as his own son, a high school freshman, but gave people a completely different feeling.

Soichiro Yagami had a feeling.

His son, Light Yagami, although perfect in every way, as a father, he always had a feeling that his son seemed to be hiding something.

What kind of thing would even his most admired father in his son's eyes, the one he most wanted to chase, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department, have to be concealed?

Soichiro Yagami shook his head and was about to continue investigating the scene when the faces of the Kawasaki Saki and Kawasaki Kyoka sisters suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Wait… those sisters are…”

Soichiro Yagami frowned slightly and waved to a subordinate not far away.

“Bring me the list of passengers trapped on the Ferris wheel for a look.”

“Oh, oh, okay.”

After the list was brought over, Soichiro Yagami scanned it, and sure enough, he saw a very familiar name.

“Kawasaki Saki…”

Seeing this familiar name, combined with Kawasaki Saki's light blue high ponytail and outstanding appearance, Soichiro Yagami finally recalled where he had seen her before.

When the Kyoto train malfunctioned, this girl and her sister were among the passengers trapped on it.

This time, she also appeared in the amusement park attack?

Moreover, both times 'Mask' was involved?

Is this really just a coincidence?

Or…

Do these sisters have any private connection with that 'Mask'?

Even…

Is Kawasaki Saki 'Mask'?

Thinking of this, Soichiro Yagami forcibly interrupted his thoughts, unwilling to continue thinking about it.

At first, he really wanted to catch 'Mask'.

After all, the other party was the most difficult and elusive criminal he had ever dealt with in his detective career.

But now, Soichiro Yagami's attitude is different.

Rather than a criminal, he would rather believe that 'Mask' is someone with special abilities, unwilling to be bound by the existing legal system, so he chose to secretly protect Kyoto City in this way, a person who pursues justice with a unique style.

Moreover, he himself is an assistant to 'Mask'.

In this situation, what's the point of investigating the true identity?

Destroying oneself for the greater good?

Although Soichiro Yagami's personality is relatively old-fashioned and stubborn, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt.

Since 'Mask' is doing good things, even if his actions are radical, as the chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he still has to condemn the other party as a criminal on the surface.

As for privately?

Just say you can't find it. Whoever thinks they can find it, let them go find it, just don't come to me.

… …

On the other side, after leaving the amusement park, Yozora did not go straight home.

In the eyes of Soichiro Yagami and the members of the Metropolitan Police Department, the explosion site was a scorched black, bloody mess, with corpses and blood baked by high temperatures, emitting a nauseating odor, and not leaving too many valuable clues for investigation.

But in Yozora's eyes, it was completely different.

From the death locations of the several ex-convicts driving the trucks all the way to the entrance of the amusement park, there was a very obvious black, viscous trail.

Collective sudden mental breakdown?

This was completely the work of an evil spirit.

Like an experienced hunter, Yozora concealed his own aura, following the viscous black trail on the ground all the way towards a certain direction outside the amusement park.

Amusement parks with a relatively large area are usually built in relatively remote and sparsely populated places due to land prices.

After walking for about ten minutes, Yozora could see that the black trail on the ground not only did not fade, but became more and more viscous, even wriggling non-stop.

“So it's here…”

He looked up and saw in front of him a small building that he didn't originally know what it was used for, but now it was abandoned, similar to a school teaching building.

Judging from the dilapidated wall skin, the length of the weeds on the ground, and the iron gate that was casually opened in front of him, this place had been abandoned for at least a dozen years.

At this time, the sky was no longer as clear as before, but was piled up with dark clouds, and the air was a bit cool, as if a heavy rain was about to fall at any time.

The weather in Sakura Province has been so fickle in recent months, which has nothing to do with this evil spirit.

“Boom!”

Before the rain fell, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the dark clouds.

Accompanied by a deafening thunder, the light illuminated the dilapidated building.

What caught Yozora's eyes was a terrifying face pasted on a window on the third floor of this building, with its facial features twisted into a ball, its eyes filled with resentment, staring at him intently.

Faced with this sudden gaze, Yozora was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

“Damn, you made me laugh.”

Immediately afterwards, his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The evil spirit behind the window on the third floor was stunned when it saw this scene.

Isn't it…

Where's the person?

Where did that human run to?

This evil spirit can be said to be in the most twisted and malicious stage.

It had finally managed to select a few guys with twisted desires who could be manipulated by it, and came up with a perfect method to drive trucks into densely populated places to cause a large number of human deaths to satisfy its malice and desire for killing.

Unexpectedly…

It actually failed.

Of course, although the evil spirit had strong resentment in its heart, it would not dare to look for that 'Mask' for revenge, even if it had ten thousand guts.

Whether it was the other party or the black and white headless monster, in its perception, they were powerful evil spirits that it could never contend with.

After escaping all the way here, it had accumulated strong resentment and a desire for killing. It had finally encountered a human who didn't know whether to live or die, dared to step into this area, and seemed to be able to see it. It was already prepared to feast.

First, appear in the other party's field of vision.

Then, in the next second, directly appear behind that male human, and ask word by word in a terrifying, hoarse voice.

“Can… you… see… me?”

This was the evil spirit's original plan.

But it really didn't expect that as soon as it executed the first step, that human actually disappeared.

What's the situation?

Just then.

The evil spirit caught a glimpse of a touch of pitch black appearing beside it.

Immediately afterwards, a question with a smile sounded.

“Can… you… see… me?”

The evil spirit turned its head stiffly and saw a mysterious person wearing a pitch-black mask, exuding an aura that made it feel extremely terrified, standing there quietly.

On the mask, there was also a white smiling pattern, which looked even more eerie in the dim corridor.

“You… you…”

“Oh?”

Listening to the words muttered by this evil spirit, Yozora was a little surprised.

“You can still talk? Little thing, that's a bit interesting.”

Faced with Yozora's question, the evil spirit did not hesitate at all and directly made a choice driven by its survival instinct.

Turn around and run away.

Only then did Yozora finally see the full picture of this evil spirit clearly.

The body is similar to a normal human, with a height of about 1.7 meters.

The gray-white hair is very long, and the wrists and ankles are wearing black shackles.

“Shackles… an evil spirit born from the negative impression of prisons…”

According to Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya's summary, the impact that evil spirits can have on humans, to a certain extent, also represents the power of the evil spirit itself.

The first tier is naturally the powerful evil spirits that can pull humans into the Reverse World, integrate a 'Gate' into their bodies, and directly harm humans.

For example, 'Train', the 'Flying Head' in the unfinished building, and the ten-meter-tall giant evil spirit all belong to this tier.

And apart from special circumstances such as possession and fusion, the second tier is the type of evil spirit wearing shackles in front of you.

Although it cannot directly harm humans, it can achieve almost 100% control over certain humans with twisted desires and fragile minds, and can order the controlled humans to do things that violate their survival instincts.

For example.

Launch suicide terrorist attacks.

Looking at the evil spirit that was getting farther and farther away and fleeing quickly, Yozora just smiled and shook his head.

“Really, what's the point of running?”

“Come out.”

At the same time, the evil spirit had already run to the stairwell, feeling that it was about to escape this inevitable death situation.

But what appeared in front of it was not a glimmer of hope.

But two huge ghost hands.

The evil spirit paused and immediately stopped in place.

It could feel the terrifying aura that made its heart palpitate coming from those two ghost hands.

One more step forward…

It will definitely be crushed.

“What's the point of running?”

Yozora's smiling voice sounded from behind the evil spirit, and he was getting closer and closer while speaking.

“I don't eat people.”

The evil spirit turned around and saw that a pitch-black long sword had appeared in the other party's hand at some point, approaching it step by step.

“Oh right, I forgot…”

His footsteps seemed to be stepping on the depths of the evil spirit's soul, and every step he took could make this evil spirit feel more intense fear and trembling.

Yozora stared straight at the evil spirit's hideous and twisted face, the smiling face pattern on the black mask disappeared.

“You are not human.”

When he said this, Yozora had already walked in front of the evil spirit. Although his voice was smiling, there was no trace of pity in his eyes.

“Although devouring an evil spirit of your level won't bring much improvement to me now, but…”
