"If I can save them, I will try my best to do so."

"But at this point, those who seek their own death, there's nothing I can do about it."

……

Meanwhile, on the twenty-second floor of the hotel.

"Thirty-five."

The woman in the black mourning dress didn't make any movements, she just raised her eyes and glanced at the evil spirit standing outside a certain room. That hideous-looking monster's body was as if it had been cut dozens of times by a sharp blade, instantly turning into scattered pieces of flesh.

"What the hell is going on!?"

"What are those things!?"

"Where are the staff!? Where did the hotel staff go!?"

……

Looking at the panicked crowd in the corridor, the woman in the mourning dress simply lowered her eyelids, her eyes devoid of emotion.

At the end of the corridor, in front of a window that was slightly open from the lower half, a young woman was hugging a little girl. Although her own eyes were full of fear, she tried her best to remain calm, gently comforting her.

"It's okay, Mommy is here, no need to be afraid."

"Mm... Mommy..."

Just then, from the gap in the lower half of the window, a hideous and terrifying head suddenly protruded, its mouth wide open, roaring at the mother and daughter.

"You... can see me!"

Faced with the evil spirit's head lunging towards them, the young woman's expression changed, and she subconsciously held her daughter tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with fear.

At this critical moment, a flash of black passed by.

"Thirty-six."

The woman in the mourning dress simply raised her left hand and gently swiped, and the evil spirit's head slid off its long neck.

Then, she raised her foot and directly stomped on the evil spirit's head that had fallen to the ground and was still roaring.

Her movements were very skillful.

And if Yotsuya Miko and the others were here, they would notice that the aura and movements of this woman in the mourning dress when exorcising demons were exactly the same as Yae Hoshi's.

"You..."

The woman in the mourning dress first glanced at the mother and daughter, then looked at the panicked guests in the corridor, and said indifferently.

"Those who want to live, follow me."

After saying this, she walked forward on her own.

The young mother was stunned for a moment, then immediately took her daughter's hand and followed behind her.

No matter what those monsters were...

This woman in the mourning dress definitely had the strength to deal with those things.

In this situation, following her was the wise choice.

Of course, there were still a small number of people who did not leave with the woman in the mourning dress.

"Hey, are you a hotel staff member? What the hell is going on!?"

"I want to complain about you!"

"Hey, hey! Stop, give us an explanation before you leave!"

……

Faced with the guests' questions, the woman in the mourning dress simply glanced at them, and the sharpness contained in her eyes made these people dare not take another step forward.

After the woman in the mourning dress led most of the guests away, the dozen or so guests left in the corridor gritted their teeth and made the same choice.

That was to turn around, open the door, and return to their rooms.

They didn't know what the situation was outside.

Rather than wandering around with a woman of unknown origin, it was safer to stay in their own rooms.

There was nothing wrong with this idea.

Just five minutes later...

Blood, gathered into a river, seeped out from the gap between the hotel room door and the floor, dyeing the expensive wool carpet a dark red color.

The bloody smell in the air became more and more intense.

……

On the other side, in Hiratsuka Shizuka's room.

"No weapons..."

While Onimaru Kunitsuna, in his human form, was gathering the hotel guests from the fifth-floor residential level and preparing to take everyone to the top floor, Yae Hoshi was looking around Hiratsuka Shizuka's room, muttering to himself.

"It's a bit difficult without a handy weapon."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but wonder.

"Can't you... kill those things with your bare hands? Do you need a weapon?"

"Shizuka, you don't understand."

Yae Hoshi shook his head, walked to the outside of the half-open bathroom, looked inside, and seemed to have found something, nodding with satisfaction.

"Would you use your hands to grab food? Of course, there are some special foods that you eat with your hands, but if there are utensils, it's definitely better."

After saying these words that left Hiratsuka Shizuka confused and completely unable to understand, Yae Hoshi walked straight into the bathroom.

There was a rustling sound, and a few seconds later, he walked out again.

And he was holding a cold, gleaming, and dazzling object in his hand. Although the surface had a rounded curve, the smooth metal exterior emitted an extremely dangerous feeling under the light.

Coupled with the dense, clustered small holes, it revealed an indescribable, Cthulhu-like feeling.

Seeing the weapon in Yae Hoshi's hand, Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips were slightly open, stunned, and in disbelief.

"The weapon you're talking about is this..."

"Shower head?"

Yae Hoshi nodded seriously, and said earnestly.

"Shizuka, don't underestimate this shower head!"

Hearing these familiar words, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly recalled that a student had mentioned to her.

On the first day of school, Yae Hoshi and Touma Kazusa had a dispute over a seat.

And, he also made a passionate declaration about the throne of the king.

Looking at it now...

Are you going to start again?

"Please see!"

Yae Hoshi shook the shower head in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka, and slowly said.

"What a rounded curve, perfect weight distribution, and as a household item, it also has drop-proof performance, which is perfect for smashing the heads of evil spirits."

Then, Yae Hoshi pointed to the metal pipe connected to the bottom of the shower head.

"And this, is the essence of this thing."

"In close combat, you can directly hit with the shower head. When you need a large-scale attack, you can pull the metal wire below and swing it around to achieve the effect of a meteor hammer!"

"Even, it can be like this!"

Speaking of this, Yae Hoshi made a shuriken-throwing motion with his left hand, and threw the shower head in his hand like a hidden weapon.

"Crack."

The hotel room window shattered in response.

Yae Hoshi pulled the metal pipe with his left hand like he was pulling a yo-yo, and the shower head automatically flew back, and was caught perfectly by his right hand.

"How is it?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked blank, and nodded subconsciously.

"It's actually... quite cool."

To be able to use a shower head as a weapon... no matter from which angle...

Yae Hoshi is quite amazing.

"Let's go, Shizuka."

"Oh... oh, okay."

Yae Hoshi led Hiratsuka Shizuka towards the outside of the room.

As soon as she went out, Hiratsuka Shizuka smelled the bloody smell in the air, and her expression changed.

"This... this smell..."

"Mm, a lot of people died."

Seeing that Yae Hoshi's tone was so calm, Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment, opened her lips, and seemed to want to say something, but when she saw the other party's expressionless face, she took back the words that were about to come out.

The other party...

Obviously, this was not the first time he had experienced this kind of thing.

The Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society, is it really investigating supernatural events?

No...

Supernatural events, actually really exist?

"In such a large-scale bizarre event, it is impossible not to have deaths."

Yae Hoshi walked slowly in front. Because she was half a step behind, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't see the expression on the other party's face when he said this. She could only hear that Yae Hoshi's tone was very calm, not like usual, with a frivolous smile, only calmness.

"Hundreds, thousands, these are very normal."

Since the appearance of the "Door", bizarre events have actually been causing great casualties.

It's just that ordinary people don't know it.

Like the sudden mental abnormality incidents of the construction workers at the Yukinoshita Construction Company site, it caused hundreds of deaths.

There was also the sharp increase in crime rates that caused the Kyoto Prefectural Police to issue a special announcement urging citizens to reduce nighttime travel. Most of these were also affected by evil spirits, amplifying the twisted desires in people's hearts and causing them to commit some shocking cases.

In this process, how many innocent people were killed and injured, not just hundreds?

It's just that in the eyes of ordinary people, mental disorders, sudden sharp increases in crime rates, and terrorist attacks on amusement parks with large trucks, these events can't find the real reason.

When they reached the elevator, Hiratsuka Shizuka saw a humanoid creature standing at the elevator door, with ragged clothes, only a few strands of rough linen hanging on its body, about two meters tall, with broken gray skin, and only one eye left. The other eye socket was empty, standing there quietly.

Although she was not a spiritual ability user, she instantly realized it.

This evil spirit... is not on the same level as those before at all!

"Yae... Yae Hoshi..."

Seeing that the humanoid creature was just standing there, seemingly not interested in herself and Yae Hoshi beside her, Hiratsuka Shizuka pursed her lips nervously, pulled on Yae Hoshi's sleeve, and lowered her voice.

"Should we... take the stairwell?"

"Hey, it's okay."

What Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't expect was that Yae Hoshi just smiled and waved his hand, then actually walked up to the humanoid monster, as if he had met a close friend he hadn't seen in a long time on the street, and reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.

"We're brothers, it doesn't matter."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was so shocked that she was stunned.

Are you that brave?

After the humanoid creature's shoulder was patted, it slowly turned its head, and the sight of its only eye swept across Yae Hoshi's face, making an inexplicable sound in its throat that was questioning and slightly hesitant.

"Don't recognize me? You're really a forgetful person... forgetful spirit."

Yae Hoshi smiled, raised his left hand, and covered the area below his eyes.
