Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Probably,” Ye Xing said calmly.

“The extent to which the 'Gate' is opened is almost ninety percent.”

“Eh? So fast!?”

Kawasaki Saki had heard Riko Futaba and Miko Yotsuya mention it.

The so-called “Gate” is a passage connecting the real world and the Reverse World.

Once the degree of opening reaches 75% or more, the surrounding area will begin to be affected.

If it's like the 'Gate' in that dilapidated building, reaching 80% or more, then the area in the real world will merge with the Reverse World.

If a remote and uninhabited place like the unfinished building merges with the Reverse World, at most it can only be called a dangerous ghost domain where entering means death.

But if this commercial pedestrian street in Shibuya merges with the Reverse World, allowing evil spirits to slaughter humans at will, regardless of being 'observed'… …

Kawasaki Saki turned around, looking at the bustling, laughing pedestrians in front of her, but what emerged in her mind was a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

At that time… …

Here, it would be hell.

Chapter 181: An Unprecedentedly Powerful Evil Spirit, Connecting Everyone with a Red Thread

After this stroll, when Ye Xing and Kawasaki Saki returned to the hotel room and gathered with the other members, it was almost noon.

Surprisingly, Touma and Suna were already awake when they entered the room, waiting with Riko Futaba and the others in Ye Xing's room.

Seeing everyone looking at the necklace around her neck, Kawasaki Saki's face turned red, and just as she was about to say something, she scanned the room and asked in confusion.

“Where's Yui?”

“She went out shopping with Umi and Yukino, and will find time to meet up with us in the afternoon.”

“Eh? Why not let… …”

Kawasaki Saki originally wanted to say, why not let Kitagawa Umi and Yukinoshita Yukino, the only two uninformed members, go out together, and still have to bring Yui Yuigahama.

But after thinking about it, she understood the reason.

Although Kitagawa Umi's personality is very cheerful… …

But she alone can't withstand Yukinoshita Yukino.

It can be foreseen that if Yukinoshita Yukino goes out alone with Kitagawa Umi, then Yukinoshita Yukino should only say two words along the way.

“Mm.”

“Boring.”

Who can withstand this?

Only Yuigahama Yui, who is naturally familiar with people, can withstand Yukinoshita Yukino's cold aura.

Didn't you see that in the entire club, Yukinoshita Yukino only calls Yuigahama Yui by her first name?

Naturally countering a tsundere, the ancients did not deceive me.

“What information have you gathered?”

Noticing the frivolous smile on Ye Xing's face, Riko Futaba secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the other party's relaxed appearance, the situation should not be very serious… …

“The situation is much more serious than we expected.”

Hearing this sentence, Riko Futaba, Mai Sakurajima, Miko Yotsuya, and Haruna Amano's hearts all sank.

Touma and Suna still had that calm look, only saying calmly.

“Then… …will you be in danger?”

Ye Xing smiled, noncommittally.

“Who knows, exorcism itself is risky, even for me, it should be the same.”

Touma and Suna's eyes flickered, and among the surprised gazes of the other members, she said something shocking.

“Then don't go, anyway, people are dying every moment in this world.”

Touma and Suna is not the kind of personality that disregards human life. After all, she just doesn't know how to express her emotions due to her family environment, not that she has no emotions.

It's just that compared to strangers, she values ​​Ye Xing's safety more.

Even if hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of lives are piled on the other side of the scale… …

Touma and Suna would not hesitate to choose the side with Ye Xing's life.

“I'm afraid that won't work.”

Ye Xing slightly bent down, approached Touma and Suna's face, looked directly into the other's eyes, and said with a smile.

“Just like you like to play the piano, I also like to eliminate evil spirits, so I still have to do it.”

“Then… …okay.”

A hint of worry appeared between Touma and Suna's eyebrows, but she still nodded.

“Alright, let's start talking about business.”

After comforting Touma and Suna, Ye Xing looked at Mai Sakurajima and the others, and slowly opened his mouth.

“The central location of Shibuya's commercial pedestrian street has been confirmed to have the existence of a 'Gate'.”

“Judging from the fact that the 'Gate' has increased to nearly ninety percent of its opening degree in just a few days, it is indeed as we speculated, this is not a naturally generated 'Gate', but an evil spirit secretly transmitting power to this 'Gate'.”

Riko Futaba took off her glasses, rubbed her eyebrows, and said worriedly.

“But… …there hasn't been a large-scale death or injury incident in the area near the commercial street… …”

“Yes, this is what I'm going to explain.”

Ye Xing took out his phone and opened the email that Yagami Light had sent.

“According to the news from Yagami Light, if you search for large-scale death or injury incidents near Shibuya Pedestrian Street, there is indeed not a single one.”

“But through the internal network statistics of the Metropolitan Police Department, in the past twenty days, the rate of accidental deaths and suicides near Shibuya Pedestrian Street has been increasing at an unnatural and extremely rapid rate.”

“The arc of this incident's increase has far exceeded the normal range of curve fluctuations.”

“It can be determined with a high probability that this is a bizarre incident.”

After saying these words, looking at Riko Futaba and the others who showed surprised expressions and wanted to say something but stopped, Ye Xing shook his phone and chuckled.

“After all, now is the information age, we are modern exorcists, we must make reasonable use of big data.”

Riko Futaba sighed slightly, her emotions were a little complicated.

As the number one staff officer of the Overload Society, these things should have been considered by herself in advance.

Having already heard Yagami Light's Yagami, this very rare surname, vaguely guessed the relationship between that brown-haired boy and Soichiro Yagami, the Criminal Investigation Bureau Chief of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

Why didn't I consider using the Metropolitan Police Department's information beforehand?

Or is the thinking too limited, always feeling that exorcism cannot be linked to the internal network of the Metropolitan Police Department.

This time the evil spirit is very cunning, and even used the method of breaking it down into parts to avoid arousing human vigilance as much as possible.

Unfortunately.

Times have changed, it's not traditional exorcism anymore.

There is technology.

Following that, Ye Xing pulled up the map on his phone, marking the area within a three-kilometer radius of that commercial pedestrian street.

“According to the Metropolitan Police Department's incident report, this area is where the rate of accidental deaths and suicides is abnormally high.”

Speaking of this, Ye Xing paused slightly and said a sentence that changed the faces of Miko Yotsuya and the others.

“There are at least two 'Gates' in this area, or perhaps even more.”

“Two!?”

Riko Futaba and Miko Yotsuya and Mai Sakurajima looked at each other. As spirit users, the three girls all realized the seriousness of the problem.

There has never been such a situation in Kyoto.

Usually, there will only be one "Gate" within a five-kilometer area.

After all, most evil spirits are simple-minded beings.

Not only do they harbor malice towards humans, but overly powerful evil spirits will even devour other beings of the same kind to increase their own power.

This is the same principle as a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Just like powerful evil spirits will attack.

The "Gate", which can enhance power and is extremely attractive to evil spirits, will also produce a repulsive effect with each other.

Either they merge into one.

Or, they just explode directly.

This is all accurate information that Riko Futaba obtained by inquiring from the Great Demon Tamamo-no-Mae in the Reverse World.

In such a close area, there are two, or even more, "Gates"… …

Either this area has gathered a large number of negative impressions from people, causing "Gates" to be born at an unimaginable speed.

However, the area around Shibuya's commercial pedestrian street is very prosperous and lively, and it is not a gloomy and terrifying place that makes people talk about it with fear.

So this possibility is ruled out.

Then the remaining possibility… …

Riko Futaba frowned, took a deep breath, calmed the emotions in her chest, which were stirred up by the fact that the conclusion she had reached was too terrible, quickly restored her calm and rational appearance, and slowly opened her mouth.

“The first possibility is that there may be multiple powerful evil spirits in the area that have merged with the 'Gate'.”

“The second possibility is that the evil spirit that created this incident and is hiding in the dark has not only merged with one 'Gate', but at least two or more 'Gates'.”

“No matter which one… …”

Riko Futaba opened her mouth with a heavy face.

“This is the most difficult and dangerous action we have faced since the establishment of our club.”

Hearing this sentence, worry appeared in Miko Yotsuya's golden eyes, and she muttered to herself.

“One move affects the whole body… …no matter which one, if you eliminate a 'Gate', it may startle the snake… …arouse the attention of the evil spirit hiding in the dark, and by that time… …”

After this period of exorcism activities, Mai Sakurajima obviously has a clear understanding of the difficulty of removing a "Gate".

This thing is like a copy.

In the area where the "Gate" exists, there must be an extremely powerful evil spirit, like a gatekeeper boss.

Only by defeating the boss can you approach the ultimate treasure.

“In other words, do we have to remove two 'Gates' at the same time… …”

Mai Sakurajima was halfway through speaking when Riko Futaba waved her hand to interrupt.

“No, three.”

“Eh? But didn't Ye Xing say that he can only determine that there are two in that area?”

Riko Futaba sighed slightly, her face heavy.

“Judging from the cunningness of this evil spirit, it will definitely have a backup plan.”

“Moreover, if you want to control two 'Gates' at the same time, or order an evil spirit that has merged with a 'Gate', it proves that it itself must also be an existence that has merged with a 'Gate'.”

“The one conclusion that I least want to see, but is very likely… …”

“In this incident, there may only be one evil spirit that has merged with the 'Gate'.”

“But… …it has merged with three or more.”

Hearing Riko Futaba's words, this time Mai Sakurajima and the others were silent.

They didn't know what to think anymore.
