Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Rio Futaba had already arrived at an answer.

“It seems that Nightstar is currently in the Reverse World, and the reason he's trapped… haha, is it a case of cutting off the fuel supply by destroying the only 'door'?… Our enemy is truly cunning.”

It could only be said that she was worthy of being Rio Futaba.

From the sudden attack by the evil spirits to the present, it hadn't even been two minutes, but she had already pieced together the whole picture.

Why hadn't she and the others been dragged into the Reverse World when they were attacked just now?

Was it because there wasn't a powerful evil spirit fused with a “door” among the enemy's ranks?

How could that be?

To be able to evade the observation of Hyakume, and also allow so many evil spirits with an extreme desire to kill humans to lurk in every corner of Kyoto City without leaving any traceable clues, no matter what the true face of the evil spirit behind them was, one thing was certain…

The individual strength of the other party was very strong, so strong that it could suppress those restless evil spirits, making them suppress their instinctive impulses and not dare to disobey the hidden orders.

Under the command of such a fellow, wouldn't there be several powerful evil spirits fused with a “door”?

How could that be?

The only explanation Rio Futaba could think of was that the other party didn't dare to fuse the real world with the Reverse World.

Why?

Because there was an existence in the Reverse World that they feared.

If a region of the real world was fused with the Reverse World, then everything they had done before would be in vain, actively opening a door for the strongest exorcist in history to return to the real world.

Based on this, Nightstar was definitely not dead.

If the enemy was confident in killing him, they wouldn't have used this method to trap him in the Reverse World.

But why?

Why would the evil spirits go to such great lengths to trap Nightstar in the Reverse World, and seemingly cut off the power supply to the entire city? What was their purpose?

“Think faster, Futaba, faster…”

Rio Futaba muttered to herself, her eyes under her glasses sparkling as her thoughts raced.

Power outage…

It's dusk now…

Darkness.

If the entire Kyoto City was plunged into darkness due to a power outage, it would inevitably cause panic among the people.

And what kind of impact would such strong negative emotions, generated by millions of people at the same time, and which would intensify over time, have on the Reverse World?

Or rather…

What kind of terrifying evil spirit would be born from the gathering of so many people's negative emotions?

While thinking, Rio Futaba sent her analysis, the speculation that the evil spirits wanted to plunge the entire Kyoto into panic, to the group chat.

Yui Yuigahama, Miko Yotsuya, and Mai Sakurajima also immediately realized that if such a thing really happened, not to mention lasting for several days, even if it only lasted for one night, it would have an immeasurable and unpredictable major impact on the Reverse World.

Rio Futaba's thoughts did not stop there.

Having deduced the enemy's goal, she should now think from the other party's perspective and predict their next move.

Rio Futaba realized that the mastermind behind this was completely different from ordinary evil spirits.

The other party knew that spiritual ability users could travel between the two worlds through the “door” during the Hour of Meeting Demons and the Hour of Meeting People, which were the two time periods of dawn and dusk.

They also knew the essence of the Reverse World, so they were able to come up with this plan to cause changes in the Reverse World through the real world.

And also the identities of Mai Sakurajima, Yui Yuigahama, Miko Yotsuya, and herself.

Rio Futaba's current thinking was based on the premise that the enemy hidden in the dark knew everything about all the members of the Excessive Load Society.

Then, what were they most afraid of, most terrified of, and most unwilling to see?

Or rather, who was the evil spirit most afraid to face?

It was Nightstar.

Then who could bring Nightstar, who was trapped in the Reverse World, back?

Thinking of this, Rio Futaba quickly sent a sentence.

“Hachishaku, only Hachishaku, we must go find Hachishaku now!”

The four spiritual ability users of the Excessive Load Society, and even Tsukuyomi Yagami, who was far away in Tokyo, did not have the ability to bring Nightstar back to the real world.

There was only one.

That was Hachishaku-sama, a non-human member who had fused with the “door”, could temporarily open a passage between the Reverse World and the real world, and truly stood on the side of the Excessive Load Society.

Hachishaku-sama.

When Yui Yuigahama, Mai Sakurajima, and Miko Yotsuya saw Rio Futaba's words, they also realized the problem.

As long as Hachishaku-sama was still alive, they had the possibility of freeing Nightstar from the Reverse World.

This was what the enemy was most unwilling to see.

In that case, Hachishaku-sama was the target that the enemy wanted to eliminate the most!

Just as the four were about to continue sending messages, they saw that the phone signal had completely disappeared, becoming unable to connect to the operating server.

“Tch… As expected, they considered this…”

Rio Futaba put away her phone and muttered to herself, biting her silver teeth.

Like the electricity.

The mobile operator's server in Kyoto City had obviously also been destroyed by the evil spirits.

Darkness alone was not enough, they also wanted to take away people's ability to confirm the safety of their friends and relatives through phone calls, text messages, and emails, thereby creating a larger-scale panic.

Is the enemy… really just an evil spirit?

This was really too understanding of human weaknesses.

Although she was somewhat unwilling, Rio Futaba did not make the kind of idiotic mistake that only appeared in TV dramas.

Before the communication was cut off, she had already finished all her analysis and set a goal for the other three.

Go to the place where Nightstar lived, and protect Hachishaku-sama.

Buy time, that was the only chance of winning.

Otherwise, if the Reverse Side were to give birth to an unprecedentedly powerful evil spirit due to the intense fear of the Kyoto citizens... then the first to face the danger would be Yozora, who is in the Reverse Side.

"Miko?"

Hearing her mother's call from behind, Yotsuya Miko turned around and saw her mother staring at the Mikazuki Munechika in her hand with a puzzled expression.

"Why... are you holding a sword?"

"Sorry, Mom."

Yotsuya Miko didn't say much, just gritted her teeth and turned to run outside.

To be honest, in this dangerous time when evil spirits are ravaging Kyoto City, she really wanted to stay by her mother's side and protect her.

But if she thought rationally, she was just worrying unnecessarily.

Kyoto is such a large city, there must be more than one power station.

Being able to damage the power station in the real world proves that it was done by an evil spirit that has fused with a "Gate" and can directly interfere with the real world.

And judging from Futaba Rio's analysis just now, after cutting off Kyoto's mobile phone communication and electricity, they would no longer risk letting Yozora leave the Reverse Side and use the power of the "Gate."

Which also means.

Most ordinary people in Kyoto City are actually very safe now because they cannot "observe."

Those who are truly in danger are the four ability users of the Supernatural Society, as well as Menma, Hachishaku-sama, and Makinohara Shoko, who has the yin-yang eyes, in Yozora's house.

By actively staying away from her mother, she would be safer.

"Miko, look ahead."

Hearing Hyakume's reminder, Yotsuya Miko looked up and saw that the residential area next to her house, which was originally peaceful and tranquil, was now filled with dozens or hundreds of hideous evil spirits, and even the utility poles had several clinging to them.

Hundreds of pairs of pupils filled with distortion and murderous intent turned and locked onto her face.

"You... can see!"

Yotsuya Miko's golden eyes flickered, and with one hand, she drew out the Mikazuki Munechika, which exuded a faint golden light and was as beautiful as a work of art, her fair fingers clenched tightly, she took a deep breath, and stared directly at the hundreds of densely packed evil spirits in front of her, and said softly.

"Open your eyes, Hyakume."

Along with Yotsuya Miko's words, a pure white mask and clothing with light golden patterns, formed by the power of soul manifestation, covered her body.

And beneath the mask, the pair of golden eyes briefly turned into double pupils for a moment, flashing with strange colors.

"Haa..."

Yozora once said that merging with the Soul True Body is a very risky thing.

The higher the degree of fusion, the greater the possibility of the user losing control.

And facing hundreds of evil spirits, Yotsuya Miko this time chose to completely merge.

She could hear very noisy whispers ringing in her mind.

"Give up."

"Pretend not to see."

"If you pretend not to see, you can survive."

"Evil spirits are not beings that humans can fight against."

...

Yotsuya Miko felt very familiar with the words in her mind.

Because these were all her true thoughts in the past.

Under Yotsuya Miko's firm will, the noisy voices gradually merged into one voice.

That was Hyakume's voice.

Her golden eyes went from confusion to regaining firmness, and she turned her gaze to the evil spirits in front of her, slowly raising the Mikazuki Munechika in her hand.

Under the illumination of the faint golden spiritual light, Yotsuya Miko parted her lips slightly, and her voice and Hyakume's voice sounded at the same time, converging into the same sentence.

"I will never run away again."

...

Meanwhile, Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai, and Yuigahama Yui also encountered the same obstacles, but the number of evil spirits they faced was not as many.

After all, although Yotsuya Miko's Soul True Body is not a combat type, her innate spiritual power intensity, her extraordinary psychological quality, and the powerful spiritual artifact she recently obtained, the famous sword Mikazuki Munechika, still established her position as the strongest spiritual power user in the Supernatural Society besides Yozora.

Obviously, the mastermind behind this conspiracy also knew that this human girl with golden pupils was the strongest.

Of course, the most important battle is not the obstruction that Miko and the others encountered.

At this time, in Yozora's house.

"Die!"

Hachishaku-sama, whose figure has soared to nearly three meters, whose head is almost touching the ceiling, who has completely lost her usual innocent and sweet appearance, but instead has a ferocious look on her face and exudes an amazing sense of oppression, is using her waterfall-like black hair to twist a humanoid evil spirit into pieces.

Her movements did not hesitate at all, and immediately she stretched out her left hand, grabbed the head of another evil spirit in the house, and crushed it to pieces.

Hachishaku-sama looked at the dozens of evil spirit faces squeezing outside the window, staring at herself, Makinohara Shoko, and Menma, and a sense of heaviness came to her heart.

Fortunately, Touma Kazusa had to go back to play the piano today, so she left early in the morning.

Of course, even if Touma Kazusa was still here, for her, who is just an ordinary person and cannot "observe" the existence of evil spirits, there is no danger at all.

"Hachishaku-neechan..."

Looking at Hachishaku-sama's tall figure, standing in front of herself and Makinohara Shoko, a look of worry and fear appeared on Menma's small face.

"Menma, Shoko, don't worry."

As her figure became larger, sharp nails also grew on Hachishaku-sama's slender white fingers.
