Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Could you be a little more serious?”

Yexing reached out and pulled Shou Wu towards himself with a bit of force, directly yanking Shou Wu's body into the air.

The other's head even remained in place, not having had time to catch up.

Yexing stepped on Shou Wu's body, the Onimaru Kunitsuna still resting on Gyūki's neck, and shook his head with slight disappointment.

“The long-renowned Nura Clan, is this all you amount to? Truly disappointing.”

Seeing Shou Wu stepped on beneath his feet, Gyūki's expression changed. He didn't have time to think and immediately wanted to unleash his power as a great demon.

However, just as that thought arose, a pale, giant demon hand silently emerged from behind him.

The five fingers with their sharp, black nails directly pinched Gyūki's towering body in its palm, like an ant.

“You can rest now.”

Watching Gyūki struggle desperately under the control of the pale demon hand, unable to break free, Yexing winked at the golden goat-headed deity beside him.

The latter immediately understood and ran over, pressing his giant paw onto Shou Wu's back.

“I've lost interest in you all.”

Yexing walked to the shrine and sat back down on the jet-black chair, looking at the tengu demon hovering in the air, unsure of what to do, and smiled softly.

“The only one who could bring me some amusement is your first leader. Why don't you hurry and notify him to come and save you?”

… …

Twenty minutes later.

When Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio arrived at the shrine and saw Shou Wu pinned to the ground by the goat-headed deity, and Gyūki grasped by the pale demon hand, unable to move, they weren't surprised.

Could Yexing not handle enemies that they could deal with?

“These…”

Futaba Rio walked up to Yexing, thoughtfully saying.

“What exactly are they? The ones we encountered were like evil spirits, but they have a physical body, and their hostility towards us isn't great. They didn't launch a sneak attack to kill us. I've never seen anything like this before.”

“Oh, them.”

Yexing casually replied, “They are the so-called youkai, belonging to an organization called the Nura Clan. Just think of them as the mafia of the youkai.”

“Youkai?”

Yotsuya Miko looked slightly puzzled.

“I've never seen such a creature before.”

“Me neither.”

Yexing smiled and then added, “But have you ever thought about it? Evil spirits are the ones that shouldn't exist in the first place, with no records of them at all?”

Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko exchanged a look, thinking that it seemed to be the case.

Youkai have a high appearance rate in the legends and stories of the Sakura Province.

But evil spirits, which cannot be seen and cannot directly harm humans, have no related records.

Come to think of it.

If I were to tell you now that there is something in the world that looks terrifying and harbors hostility towards humans, but you can't see it or touch it, and it can't affect you in any way, how would you feel?

The better ones would scoff at it.

Those with a worse attitude would think you have a problem with your brain, right?

In comparison, youkai, which have a physical body and need to avoid human attention and hide in the dark, are more in line with the descriptions in legends.

Looking at Yexing sitting in his seat, leisurely, Futaba Rio, who had already taken off her glasses and tied up her hair in a high ponytail, had a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.

Recently, she had been harboring a worry.

According to Tamamo-no-Mae, the first time the “Gate” appeared was on March 20th.

Coincidentally.

The time Yexing awakened his spiritual power was also on March 20th.

Could there be such a coincidence in this world?

Futaba Rio had two guesses about this.

The first.

Because of the appearance of the “Gate,” the Reverse Side and the real world had partially merged, so according to the natural principle of protecting human life between evil spirits and humans, which is that they cannot affect each other if they cannot “perceive” each other, Yexing awakened his spiritual power at that time.

If that's the case.

It means that the chuunibyou words Yexing said to Futaba Rio were actually accidentally correct.

He is the chosen one selected by Heaven, who will save the world and possesses unrestrained talent.

Everyone is happy, and the ESP Research Society continues to fulfill its obligations, protecting the world from the bizarre.

But what about the other possibility?

The same phenomenon, the same process, but the cause and effect are reversed.

Because Yexing awakened his spiritual power, the “Gate” appeared?

This can explain why the bizarre phenomenon of the “Gate” only exists in Kyoto.

Sakurajima Mai's adolescence syndrome has affected everyone's observation and perception of the world.

If the “Gate” that appeared in Kyoto, and those increasingly powerful and crazy evil spirits…

Are all the result of Yexing's adolescence syndrome?

Futaba Rio couldn't be sure.

After all, there are too few samples of adolescence syndrome. There is only one case of Sakurajima Mai.

As the saying goes.

Science requires repeated demonstrations to draw conclusions.

Conclusions drawn solely from the case of Sakurajima Mai can only be called guesses.

If a second adolescence syndrome patient appears, perhaps a comparison can be made to draw a conclusion.

“Futaba, what are you thinking about?”

Hearing Yexing's words, Futaba Rio came back to her senses.

She looked at his familiar face and forced a smile, shaking her head.

“It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I want to go home and sleep after we're done here.”

Futaba Rio made up her mind.

No matter the situation, her opinion of Yexing would not change.

The effects of adolescence syndrome cannot be controlled by the person himself.

The criminal cases in Kyoto and the impact caused by evil spirits should not be blamed on Yexing. That would be unfair.

“Yeah, let's get this over with as soon as possible.”

Yexing appeared nonchalant on the surface, but in reality, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Futaba Rio's acting skills are really too bad.

With her usual personality, she never reveals emotional fluctuations and always maintains a rational demeanor…

If she was really okay, why would she smile at me?

Chapter 110: The Head of All Youkai, Nurarihyon, and Yexing's Modern Exorcism

Just then, Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko suddenly felt as if the surrounding air had solidified.

Even the pattering rain stopped at that moment.

Thick clouds obscured half of the moon, making the already dim shrine seem like the boundary between the realm of ghosts and the human world, filled with an atmosphere of tension.

“He's here.”

Hearing Yexing's words, Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio turned their gazes to the entrance of the shrine.

They saw an old man wearing traditional clothing, short in stature, with an unusually long nape, walking slowly up the steps from the entrance.

The other party's stature was so short, and he didn't exude the slightest aura.

He looked like a confused old grandpa next door.

However, following behind the old man were hundreds of youkai, each with different appearances, in neat formations, their footsteps sounding simultaneously, silent and diverse in appearance.

“Supreme Commander!”

Seeing Nurarihyon finally arrive, Gyūki, who was grasped by the pale demon hand, first breathed a sigh of relief, but then seemed to remember something and reminded him.

“Supreme Commander, be careful, this guy…”

Before Gyūki could finish speaking, Yexing reached out his right hand and clenched it in the air.

The pale demon hand mirrored his movements, and his five fingers slightly tightened, squeezing Gyūki in his palm even tighter.

“Ugh…”

Gyūki frowned tightly, letting out a painful groan.

Seeing his deputy and sworn brother being humiliated in such a way, a hint of anger couldn't help but appear on Nurarihyon's aged face.

He raised his wrinkled right hand, and the hundreds of youkai behind him instantly stopped, without making the slightest sound.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio's expressions changed somewhat.

The two women never imagined that they could actually see such an amazing sight in the real world.

The aura of this group of youkai clearly indicated that they were not easy to deal with.

What made them even more apprehensive was that the youkai stopped instantly with just one action from the leading old man, indicating that he was not like evil spirits, who only knew how to kill and had no reason.

He was more like Tamamo-no-Mae from the Reverse Side, a youkai with wisdom no less than, or even surpassing, that of humans.

Such an enemy would be much more difficult to deal with than a simple evil spirit.

Nurarihyon slowly walked forward, looked at Yexing sitting in front of the shrine, and said in a deep voice.

“Friend, we have no hostility in this visit, we just want to talk to you…”

“No hostility?”

Yexing didn't give the so-called head of all youkai any face and directly shook his head, interrupting.

“Your Nura Clan's Gyūki just threatened me.”

Hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared on Nurarihyon's aged face.

Gyūki was good in every way.

It was just that his attitude towards humans was a bit intriguing.

Although Gyūki was originally human, after transforming into a youkai, he had a kind of arrogance as a great demon.

Nurarihyon could probably imagine that Gyūki's attitude was definitely not very friendly when negotiating.

“Please forgive his offense, Your Excellency…”

This time, Yexing still didn't give Nurarihyon a chance to finish speaking, and just said lightly.

“This guy used to attack villages and kill people, right?”

Hearing this sentence, Nurarihyon's heart sank.

He stared at Yexing sitting there, thinking that he had felt something was wrong from the moment the other party said the word Nura Clan.

The Nura Clan had always kept a low profile, and in recent years, they had not been involved in Kyoto.

How did the other party know about the Nura Clan?
