Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Yes, it's been a year."

Yexing shrugged, looking a bit emotional.

"Those chosen ones with untamed talents are already heading towards their grand finales by this stage, their Fool's Journeys nearing completion. But I'm still far from it."

"You're talking nonsense again."

Shuangye Li央 first made this retort, then put down her coffee cup, gently covering Yexing's hand beside her with her still-warm palm, her face slightly flushed, and said softly.

"No matter what happens in the future… let's keep going together."

Yexing smiled and nodded.

"Of course."

At this moment, Yubihama Yui ran over, looked at Shuangye Li央 and Yexing, and smiled sweetly.

"Okay, okay, what's with you two hiding here? Come and celebrate together!"

"Celebrate?"

Yexing chuckled.

"It's just a New Year's Eve, why use the word 'celebrate'? Do we have anything worth celebrating?"

"Hmm…"

Yubihama Yui pondered seriously, and Sigu Jianzi walked to her side and said with a smile.

"Saving the world, isn't that worth celebrating?"

"Right, that's it!"

Yubihama Yui affectionately put her arm around Sigu Jianzi, picked up the drink cup in her hand, and looked at everyone in the living room.

"Then, for the new year, and for the past year, we have saved the world several times, cheers!"

Although Xigong Xiazi and Xiduochuan Haimeng didn't quite understand what saving the world meant, they still picked up the drink cups in their hands.

"Cheers!"

… …

A month later, on the first night of the winter vacation, Tokyo.

"I said, you two should just catch her."

Yexing leaned against the wall of a small alley, his face full of boredom, and rolled his eyes at Yeshen Yue and L in front of him.

"Why did you have to call me from Kyoto? Isn't this wasting the time of the God of Harem?"

L squatted by the wall, looking at the flickering, swaying dim yellow light emitted by the street lamp outside the alley, and said in a flat tone.

"Verbal descriptions ultimately carry too much subjective consciousness. In order to cooperate with you two, and in order not to mislead my understanding of psychic abilities, I need to personally observe a battle between psychic power users, as a standard for judgment."

"Then you may be disappointed."

Yexing replied carelessly.

"A mere weak psychic power user, if Yue and I take action, it won't be much of a battle at all, and… your eyes can't keep up either."

"Eyes can't keep up?"

Before L could ask carefully, a figure in a long trench coat suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Here she comes."

Yeshen Yue looked at Yexing and said with a smile.

"Are you going, or am I?"

Yexing waved his hand.

"You go, this level of battle is meaningless to me."

"Okay."

Yeshen Yue nodded and walked slowly towards the woman in the long trench coat who appeared at the entrance of the alley.

When the other party saw him walking over, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and a undisguised twisted killing intent appeared on her face.

"Xiaochi Cheng, thirty-one years old, marital status: divorced."

While walking forward slowly, Yeshen Yue said softly, as if talking to himself, or as if he was saying it to the woman.

"Originally a resident of Osaka City, she suddenly came to Tokyo a few months ago. At the same time, serial poisoning deaths began to occur in Tokyo."

This level of reasoning is simply easy for Yeshen Yue and L, as simple as a child's puzzle.

It has been determined that the mastermind's base camp is Osaka City. Combining the start time of the serial poisoning deaths, and the list of people who suddenly came to Tokyo from Osaka before that time point for no special reason, and then going through the monitoring cameras and psychological counseling reports in the final stage of investigation, the murderer can be directly locked.

Of course, it sounds simple, but if there is no L who can use the resources of the Metropolitan Police Department to assist, it would not be so easy for Yeshen Yue to rely on his own strength alone.

L's joining not only provided his own brain and the resources of the Metropolitan Police Department.

More importantly, after he became an assistant, Yeshen Yue didn't have to be so careful all the time, trying his best to hide his identity and not leave any flaws.

This is the so-called turning enemies into friends, one ebbs and the other flows, which is equivalent to reducing a debuff and turning it into a positive buff.

"You… seek death…"

"I seek death?"

Yeshen Yue's brown eyes instantly turned scarlet, and the pure white noble costume reappeared on his body, and that mask of the Great Tengu, redder than blood, appeared on his face.

His scarlet eyes stared directly at Xiaochi Cheng in front of him, and said word by word.

"Evil people will be sanctioned by 'Kira'."

Feeling the spiritual power bursting out from Yeshen Yue, Xiaochi Cheng's face became even more twisted, and bloodshot appeared in her eyes.

"Fusion… Snake Bone Hag!"

As Xiaochi Cheng's voice fell, a series of venomous snakes with unusually bright colors and colorful patterns, squeezed together and wriggling, appeared from her long trench coat, making people sick.

"I see… is this spiritual power…"

Even seeing such a terrifying scene, L was still as calm as ever, just observing the group of venomous snakes in Xiaochi Cheng's arms, muttering to himself.

"Hmm… a type of spiritual power that can be seen at a glance, the Snake Bone Hag… comes from the youkai in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons… the awakened True Name of the Soul has a certain relationship with the psychic power user's own state of mind. Based on this point, later we can first deduce the other party's True Name of the Soul from the type of ability, and then combine the records in those strange tales to use this as one of the clues for reasoning to find the identity of the psychic power user himself…"

L's brain in terms of reasoning is undoubtedly the strongest, even Yeshen Yue is slightly inferior to him.

Of course, since these two people were able to become opponents in the original plot, and conducted so many games and battles of wits, it is difficult to say who is smarter, it is just that the two are good at different focuses.

Yeshen Yue is good at disguise and manipulating people's hearts. This kind of ability is very suitable for becoming politicians, religious leaders and other characters.

And L's wit is the wit in the traditional sense. The skill points are all on reasoning. He may not understand human relationships, or he may not care at all.

He is only interested in reasoning, and the only thing he wants to do is pure reasoning.

Combining the intelligence provided by Yeshen Yue before, L has already begun to think about whether he can guess what kind of person the other party's body is by first judging the other party's True Name of the Soul, and then inferring the type of True Body of the Soul, so as to complete the possibility of this kind of reasoning.

Just as L was concentrating, focusing intently, wanting to see what a battle between psychic ability users would actually look like, he felt a blur before his eyes.

"Bang!"

The next second, he heard a loud noise beside him, and when he turned his head, he found that Yagami Light had already grabbed Koshiba Kiyomi's neck with one hand, pressing her directly against the wall of the alley, while the fingertips of his other hand extended sharp claws, piercing into her abdomen without hesitation, stirring violently.

Koshiba Kiyomi's eyes were wide with rage, her face twisted, and the intense pain from her abdomen made her want to cry out in agony.

But just as the sound came out, Yagami Light didn't hesitate, using the hand that was grabbing her neck to directly pierce into her neck, forcibly tearing out a strip of bright red flesh.

"Quiet."

Looking at the bloody scene of Yagami Light tearing out the other party's vocal cords and casually throwing them aside, L's expression remained unchanged, not even bothering to deal with the bloodstains splattered on his white long sleeves, just staring intently at Koshiba Kiyomi, whose face was twisted and body trembling, but unable to make the slightest sound, muttering to himself.

"Such injuries, yet she still retains her sanity... Hmm, after fusion, her vitality has also greatly increased, exceeding the limits of ordinary humans... Very interesting."

"That's enough, Raigetsu, just kill her."

Hearing Yoru Hoshi's words, Yagami Light smiled and nodded.

"Okay, wasn't I just trying to let L see the battle process between psychic ability users?"

Yoru Hoshi looked obviously disbelieving.

"No one believes you, you just want to torture this guy who's been doing whatever he wants in Tokyo, right?"

Yagami Light didn't hide it, generously admitting it with a chuckle.

"'Kira'... occasionally needs some entertainment."

As the words fell, Yagami Light directly reached out with his left hand, grabbed Koshiba Kiyomi's head, and with a slight force in his fingers, directly crushed the other party's skull, then casually threw the corpse aside on the ground.

"How was it, L?"

Hearing Yagami Light's question, L's expression remained unchanged, just shaking his head.

"To call it a battle... it's purely your one-sided slaughter. Although I obtained some valuable information, none of it is very useful. If it's like this, the power gap between the enemy and us, the odds of victory in battle, and so on..."

"Oh, you don't need to consider that."

Yagami Light waved his hand, pointing to Yoru Hoshi who was standing there, slacking off the whole time.

"He has a strategist who specializes in battle plans. You don't need to consider whether the battle can be won, just focus on finding the identity and deducing the truth."

"Hmm, just what I wanted."

Hearing this, L's expression didn't change, but he was indeed very satisfied.

Originally, he wasn't very interested in calculating the power between the two sides and predicting the outcome of battles, and he had never done it before. After all, as a detective, he only needed to find the culprit; matters such as capture were the responsibility of the local police officers.

Since there was a specialist responsible for this aspect of assistance, then he only needed to put all his mind on how to find the enemy, which was exactly what L wanted.

"The reason I called you here this time isn't just to see a battle between psychic ability users in person."

L leaned against the wall of the alley, not bothering with the blood on the ground and the tragically deceased corpse, just looking at Yagami Light and Yoru Hoshi, and said in a plain tone.

"In the past month, even though the Metropolitan Police Department has used almost all its power to search, they still haven't been able to find Sakurakawa Rikka's whereabouts. After all, she possesses that kind of brainwashing ability. Residence, daily necessities, are not a problem for her, she doesn't even need to leave the house."

"And because of this ability, the longer she stays in a city, the more time she has to plan her next attack. Although I'm not very interested in these things, from a detective's point of view, it's best to avoid a repeat of the Tennoji incident in Osaka."

"Your thoughts should be the same as mine, right?"

Seeing Yoru Hoshi and Yagami Light nod, L continued to speak.

"But now, Sakurakawa Rikka doesn't know that her true identity has already been found by us. From your descriptions, although she is very smart, it can't change the fact that she suffers from mental problems and her mental state is unstable. If there is some way to make her think that she has been driven into a desperate situation and lost her composure, thereby revealing flaws... that might be the way to break the situation."

Yagami Light removed the disguise of Soul Materialization, noncommittally saying.

"So-called pressure... Even if the Metropolitan Police Department dispatches more police force, it probably won't make Sakurakawa Rikka feel any pressure, after all, they are just a group of ordinary people..."

Speaking of this, Yagami Light looked at Yoru Hoshi standing there, changing the subject.

"But, if it's 'Mask', then it's different."

"Yes, yes."

L nodded, echoing.

"Since Sakurakawa Rikka has left Osaka, it shows that she is indeed afraid of 'Mask'. Alas, it's a pity, if 'Mask' himself were here, he would definitely be able to think of a way, right?"

Speaking of this, L pretended to suddenly realize, looking at Yoru Hoshi.

"Oh right, isn't 'Mask' himself right here?"

Looking at the way Yagami Light and L, this duo, were singing in harmony, Yoru Hoshi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You two are a natural combination."

After complaining about this, Yoru Hoshi paused for a moment, and said with a smile.

"Pressure... I have thought of a way."

"Let's issue a notice to the sinner Sakurakawa Rikka."

Chapter 325: The "Mask" Issues a Notice, Winterma and Sha's Favorite Gifts

Two days later, Saturday afternoon, Kyoto City.

Since it was already February, close to the end of the year, whether it was office workers or students, everyone had already begun to enjoy their pleasant vacation time. In addition, it was a Saturday afternoon, and in various cities of Sakura Province, especially large cities like Kyoto, the streets were crowded with people.

And in those big cities, the large screens in the commercial districts that could be seen everywhere were broadcasting television news and some sponsored advertisements.

"Regarding the Tennoji explosion incident two months ago, the police are still investigating. The Metropolitan Police Department has established a special investigation team, which is working hard and promising to find the truth as soon as possible, giving the people of Sakura Province an explanation..."
