Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Hearing this, Yurikawa Hana's face lit up with excitement, and she cheered.

"Really!? Then I want to eat butt-shaped daifuku, cream bread, grilled meat, ramen... I want to eat everything!"

"Okay, no problem, let's go."

Seeing that Makinohara Shoko had successfully overcome the crisis with the help of Yurikawa Hana, Menma breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of solemnity appeared on her small face.

Dangerous, it was too dangerous.

Makinohara Shoko still hasn't awakened her spiritual abilities, but fortunately, Yurikawa Hana has awakened the Soul True Body of the Lunchbox, allowing her to transfer her own life energy to others through the Lunchbox.

It's just that...

Yurikawa Hana's spiritual power is still too weak. Forget about bringing someone back from the dead, if they had discovered it even a little later, delaying the best time for rescue, I'm afraid she would have been powerless to save Makinohara Shoko.

Looking at it this way...

We can't wait any longer.

Yurikawa Hana must undergo special training. Not only her physical fitness, but also the spiritual power of the Lunchbox must be improved, which means...

In order to completely eradicate Makinohara Shoko's congenital heart disease, both of them must drink milk vigorously.

......

Meanwhile, in a small alley in Kyoto City.

"What's the situation at the scene?"

Hearing the low, serious voice behind him, the police officers who were maintaining order opened a path, allowing Yagami Soichiro to pass through the cordon.

"Chief Yagami... take a look for yourself."

Seeing the complicated expression on the face of the forensic doctor at the scene, Yagami Soichiro turned his gaze to the depths of the alley.

When he saw the scene inside, even he, who had many years of experience in on-site criminal investigation and had seen countless cruel scenes, couldn't help but change his expression.

"This is..."

Yagami Soichiro quickly took two steps forward, approached the corpse, and looked at the corpse clinging to the bones, as if it had lost most of its moisture and flesh, leaving only a mummified appearance with the skeleton wrapped in skin. As if thinking of something, he frowned and muttered to himself.

"This modus operandi, could it be..."

Yagami Soichiro took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed L's phone number, and slowly said.

"The serial killer you have been investigating recently seems to have come to Kyoto."

"Kyoto?"

L on the other side of the phone was sitting next to the computer, and on the computer screen was a file of the case being investigated, including more than a dozen photos of the crime scene. The victims' ages, identities, and occupations were different, but their appearances at death were the same as the corpse Yagami Soichiro had just discovered, presenting a strange mummified state.

"He dares to actively run to Kyoto... Is this guy deliberately provoking us?"

"I don't know."

Yagami Soichiro shook his head, gave the police officer next to him a look, signaling them to start arranging the on-site work, and then walked out of the alley with a solemn expression.

"But that guy started committing crimes in Tokyo, and now he has come to Kyoto. It would be too much of a coincidence to say it's a coincidence. Normally speaking, criminals would avoid these two cities."

Half a month ago, a series of murders began in Tokyo.

The criminal committed crimes continuously at a frequency of once a day. The targets chosen had no regularity at all. The only common point was that the corpses seemed to have been drained, showing a strange shriveled state.

It stands to reason that L, who can use the resources of the Metropolitan Police Department and has strong reasoning ability, should not find it difficult to solve such a serial murder case.

But after he really started investigating, he realized that it was not as simple as he had originally imagined.

Without exception, all the monitoring equipment at the scene had problems. When checking the surrounding area's cameras, no trace was found. It was as if the criminal knew the city of Tokyo like the back of his hand, and could avoid all monitoring cameras every time he killed someone.

Of course, in order to avoid the situation where the criminal was some kind of evil spirit that he could not "observe", L also asked Yagami Light to watch the monitoring cameras in the crime area, but still to no avail.

As for the Reverse Side...

To be honest, without being able to predict the other party's pattern of action, even if the criminal used the method of traveling through the Reverse Side to complete the elusive crimes, it would not be possible to deal with it effectively. After all, there are not enough police forces to cover a city in the Reverse Side, and there are only three units that can act in total.

Moreover, the exact time of death of the corpses cannot be identified, the time of the murderer's crime cannot be determined, and the selected targets have no regularity at all. There is absolutely no information that can be used to determine the identity of the criminal.

L just didn't expect that the criminal would suddenly switch to another city to commit crimes.

"It seems... it's a spiritual power user..."

This sudden change of location also provided L with valuable information.

"If it wasn't a spiritual power user, he wouldn't have the guts to commit crimes in the cities where 'Kira' and 'Mask' are located one after another. It seems... you have to give that guy a call."

"Um... it seems that's the only way."

......

Half an hour later, at the crime scene.

"Can you see anything?"

Hearing Yagami Soichiro's question, Miko Yotsuya's golden eyes flickered as she looked at the corpse. The color of her eyes changed from golden to dark green, and then she frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

"This kind of aura... doesn't seem like a pure evil spirit, but it doesn't seem like spiritual power either... It's very weak... but it has a kind of... I don't know how to describe it, a feeling of utter despair."

Listening to Miko Yotsuya's familiar description, Yozora, who was standing aside with his back against the wall, said lightly.

"It seems that it's the same type of power as that black mist figure."

"Um."

Miko Yotsuya nodded slightly first, looked at the shriveled corpse on the ground, and first showed a trace of sadness in her eyes, followed by strong anger.

"Killing innocent people just to provoke us... Sure enough, even if such a guy calls himself a god, he is the kind of existence that should be eliminated, annihilated, and completely devoured..."

Yozora shrugged and said with a chuckle.

"I don't think it's that serious. When the time comes, we should get something like a millstone and grind Him down bit by bit. But only grind half of Him. After He recovers, we'll get a juice blender, and then there's things like slow slicing, iron maidens, putting rats in an iron bucket to burrow into the stomach, and so on. Use about a hundred or eighty methods, and we can send Him on His way."

Yotsuya Miko: "...You seem a little too extreme."

Yexing smiled nonchalantly and looked at Amane Suzuha standing there.

"In the future timeline, have you heard of this incident?"

"No."

Amane Suzuha shook her head, then added.

"However, events like this that didn't cause a major sensation and happened many years before I was born, just because I don't know about them doesn't mean they didn't happen."

"That's true."

Yexing squatted in front of the shriveled corpse, thoughtfully.

"But why?"

Hearing his murmur, Minamikata Nichika also squatted beside him and said softly.

"Yeah, why would the culprit do this? It's clear that not many people were killed, it looks like a deliberate act of provocation. Either the culprit is foolish enough to think his power is enough to fight you, or the killings are just a smokescreen, and there's another conspiracy."

"These days are really eventful."

Yexing stood up and shook his head.

"The mastermind who is secretly investigating the secrets of every member of the Supernatural Society and exposing the family situations of Sakurajima Mai and Toyohama Nodoka, Shinomoya Kougan who is dissatisfied with Shinomoya Kaguya taking over as commander, and now this serial killer. Things are happening one after another."

"Yes."

Yagami Soichiro rubbed his temples and sighed heavily.

"Anyway, leave the investigation of the murder case to us. You should take care of your side of things first. If there are any further developments, I'll let you know."

"Okay."

…

That night, on the top floor of the Supernatural Society apartment building, in Yexing's room.

"Xiaohua, I have something to tell you."

Hearing Menma's words, Yurigawa Hua looked blank and glanced at Yexing sitting there, curiously.

"What is it? It's the middle of the night, isn't it bad to bother Yexing-san?"

Menma patted Yurigawa Hua on the shoulder, meaningfully.

"This matter really won't work without him."

Chapter 438 Yurigawa Hua Yearning for Delicious Food, and Yukino's Chiba Trip

"What what?"

At the same time Menma finished speaking, Hachishaku-sama popped out of nowhere, looking curious and excited, cheering.

"Is it time for my most anticipated part again?"

"Eh?"

Listening to Menma and Hachishaku-sama's words, Yurigawa Hua looked blank, not knowing what they were talking about.

"Yurigawa-san, the thing is..."

Yexing was halfway through speaking when Hachishaku-sama hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, hands on her hips, looking confident.

"Boss, no need to say more, leave it to me, Hachi, to explain."

"Are you sure you can do it?"

Hearing this, Yexing's eyes were full of doubt as he looked at Hachishaku-sama.

With Hachishaku-sama's brain, just explaining what she did today would be a good thing.

"Hmph hmph, just watch."

Hachishaku-sama first said this, then looked at Yurigawa Hua sitting there, and said seriously.

"Xiaohua, your soul materialization ability is through the true form of your soul, which is the transformation of your rice container, sharing your own life energy to others through food as a medium, right?"

Although Yurigawa Hua didn't understand the situation, she still nodded obediently when faced with the question raised by Hachishaku-sama.

"Yes."

"Then you should also be clear that as a psychic, the way to become stronger is to have your true soul devour evil spirits to increase spiritual power, right?"

"I do know this..."

Speaking of this, Yurigawa Hua suddenly thought of the question Anjou Naruko had asked herself, and couldn't help but curiously.

"But... devouring evil spirits can only increase spiritual power. Physical fitness and the five senses, according to Rio's theory, cannot be improved in this way, so there is the saying that the weakness of psychics is their main body, but their physical strength and hearing, vision..."

"Eh, you've hit the nail on the head."

Hachishaku-sama seemed to have expected this, pointed to Yexing sitting there, and said with a smile.

"Do you know? The boss also has abilities similar to yours, and can share his power with others."

"Eh, can Yexing-san do that too?"

Yurigawa Hua couldn't help but be curious.

"Is it also sharing life energy? What specific method is used? The extraordinary physical fitness of Mai-senpai, Miko, Rio, Yui, is it obtained in this way?"

Although Yurigawa Hua usually looks like an energetic airhead, she is actually not stupid. On the contrary, Yurigawa Hua's mind is very good. Although her grades are not as good as Yexing, Shinomoya Kaguya, or Yukinoshita Yukino, she is among the best in the entire grade.

At this time, as soon as she heard Hachishaku-sama say that Yexing also has the ability to share his power with others, she immediately thought of the powerful physical fitness of Sakurajima Mai and others, which normal psychics do not possess.

"It's like this..."

"Wait a minute, Hachishaku-nee-san."

Just as Hachishaku-sama was about to tell a story called "Where is the Magic Milk?", Menma suddenly interrupted her, first glanced at Yurigawa Hua, then looked at Yexing sitting there, a thoughtful look appeared on her cute little face, and after a few seconds, she slowly opened her mouth.

"Xiaohua, sit next to Yexing-niichan."

"Eh? Okay."

Yurigawa Hua looked like she was being directed, stood up and sat next to Yexing.

The next second, Menma saw the reaction she had expected.

"Eh? Eh? This..."
