Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

The silence inside the morgue was deafening, forcing her to cover her chest with her hands to mask the sound of her heartbeat.

Touma Kazusa hadn't said a word, leading Sakurajima Mai to believe she was just as timid as Yuigahama Yui, paralyzed by nervousness.

If Sakurajima Mai knew what Touma Kazusa was really thinking at that moment, the expression on her face would surely be priceless.

This was the ultimate love-struck mind.

She was lying in a morgue drawer, yet still thinking about such things?

Her nerves were simply too thick.

Just then.

"Bang!"

The heavy door of the morgue was suddenly pushed open, emitting a dull thud.

Yuigahama Yui trembled, her pretty face turning pale, and she immediately covered her mouth with both hands, trying not to make a single sound.

"Screech…"

Accompanying the screech of metal against metal, the originally dark morgue gradually illuminated as the metal slabs holding the corpses were pulled out, allowing the dim light from the outer mortuary to seep in.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Finally, the presence outside approached their location.

Yexing was lying on the outermost slab.

Therefore, he was the first to be pulled out.

Sakurajima Mai and the others had anticipated that Yexing, once pulled out, would immediately erupt in a transformation, violently attacking whatever entity stood outside, but no such sound occurred.

On the contrary.

Yexing was lying there with his eyes closed, feigning death.

"Hmm?"

Standing inside the morgue was a humanoid figure wearing a bloodstained white coat, a mask soaked in blood covering its face, and eyes devoid of pupils, only a ghastly white.

It noticed that the "corpse" it had pulled out was actually wearing clothes, and a puzzled sound squeezed from the depths of its throat.

The ghoul leaned closer, carefully sniffing the scent on Yexing's body.

After a few seconds, it straightened up, walked to where Touma Kazusa was lying, gripped the handle, and prepared to pull out the metal slab.

Just then.

The ghoul's peripheral vision suddenly caught something: the metal slab where Yexing had been lying was now completely empty.

Its movements froze.

The next moment, Yexing's face, adorned with a benevolent smile, appeared almost face-to-face, and he softly asked.

"You… can see me?"

Chapter 135: Domain Expansion, Yagami Light's Challenge to L

As he spoke, Yexing released the suppression of his own aura without reservation.

At that moment, in the eyes of the ghoul dressed as a doctor in a white coat, the figure standing before it was not a human.

But a throne composed of tens of thousands of ghouls stacked together, formed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Upon that throne stood the human before it.

"You… can see me?"

Yexing leaned in closer, his black eyes filled with a smile, staring directly into the ghoul's pair of pupil-less, ghastly white eyes.

The latter's body trembled, its lips moving beneath the mask, and its legs began to weaken.

"Stand still."

Yexing smiled and patted the ghoul's shoulder, pulling open the three morgue drawers one by one.

Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, and Touma Kazusa stood up from the metal slabs, their expressions changing upon seeing the terrifying doctor ghoul in a bloodstained white coat.

"Slap!"

Yexing backhanded the ghoul with a resounding slap.

"Trying to scare people, huh?"

The ghoul's head spun several times from the force of the blow, its neck twisting into a pretzel shape.

It felt utterly terrified, but also deeply wronged.

It hadn't done anything!

Why had it been slapped?

"Slap!"

Just as it was thinking this, Yexing raised his hand again and slapped it again.

This time it was in the opposite direction, using the same force, neatly twisting the ghoul's pretzel neck back to normal.

Yexing was truly kind; I could cry.

"I slapped you twice, and you're giving me attitude? Hmm?"

Watching the ghoul being slapped twice in a row, the three girls were somewhat at a loss.

Even Yuigahama Yui, who had seen Yexing exorcise demons before, still couldn't get used to such scenes.

Who exorcises demons like this?

Which one is actually the evil spirit?

It was only then that the ghoul finally realized what was happening.

Without the slightest hesitation, it turned around, not even bothering with the corpses on the metal slabs, and fled towards the mortuary door.

Seeing the ghoul's desperate escape, before Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, and Touma Kazusa could even speak, they heard Yexing say calmly.

"The first lesson of an exorcist."

"The terrifying ghouls in the eyes of ordinary people are merely prey."

"We are the predators."

"Let's go."

… …

At the same time, the ghoul was running frantically.

It was scared.

Despite the ghoul's submissive and utterly cowardly appearance.

In reality, it was one of many ghouls who had come to the real world from the Reverse World, and its power was much greater than ordinary ghouls.

Because of this.

The ghoul could genuinely feel how terrifying that human had been.

That was simply… not human.

The phantom of tens of thousands of ghouls stacked together, and the sense of oppression that seemed to come from its very bloodline, prevented the ghoul from even thinking about resisting.

Only by leaving this area as soon as possible could it hope to continue existing.

The ghoul ran all the way up the stairwell to the iron door leading to the second basement floor.

It pushed open the door and rushed out, feeling its body relax.

Thankfully…

The other party hadn't chased after it.

The ghoul breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like it had almost been scared into becoming human.

If it had known that such terrifying monsters existed in the real world, it should have stayed in the Reverse World.

Just then, the ghoul suddenly realized something.

Was this… the second basement floor?

Why did the sign still say the third basement floor?

"Tap, tap, tap…"

Light footsteps came from around the corner of the corridor.

The ghoul was startled and ran up the stairwell again without the slightest hesitation.

Once again, it passed the stairs.

Once again, it pushed open the door.

Once again, it saw the familiar third basement floor sign.

The ghoul felt despair.

How could this be happening?

Could it be…

The legendary ghost wall?

"Tap, tap, tap…"

Just then, the unhurried footsteps finally rounded the corner, appearing at the end of the corridor.

"Run."

Yexing's laughing voice rang out.

"Why aren't you running anymore?"

Looking at the ghoul standing there, Sakurajima Mai and Yuigahama Yui finally noticed something was wrong.

According to the rules summarized by Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko, ordinary people are unable to "observe" ghouls and ghosts.

Only in very rare special cases.

For example, after entering the Reverse World, or when an evil spirit occupies a human body and merges with it, can this rule be broken.

"Is this… the Reverse World?"

Hearing Sakurajima Mai's question, Yexing continued walking forward, simply extending his right hand to receive the Onimaru Kunitsuna handed to him by the Pale Ghoul Hand.

"To say it's the Reverse World… the nature might be similar, but there's one difference."

Yexing walked slowly towards the ghoul, saying faintly.

"This is my world."

As his words fell, the snow-white walls of the hospital were instantly covered in raging black flames.

"This… this is…"

Not only Yuigahama Yui and Sakurajima Mai, but even Touma Kazusa, whose nerves were so thick she was almost detached, was shocked by the scene before her.

The polished, reflective floor tiles were bordered by raging black flames on both sides.

Yexing, holding the black long sword, walked step by step towards the ghoul in the bloodstained white coat standing at the other end.

This scene even had some religious, sacred meaning.

This was the new ability Yexing had obtained after devouring the giant ghoul that had fused with the "Door" inside it.

"Didn't I tell you to stand still?"

Faced with Yexing walking towards it step by step, his eyes devoid of pity, the ghoul was on the verge of collapse.

Under such intense pressure, its meager rationality disappeared.

Replaced by the instinct of an evil spirit.

"You… can see!"
