Good guy.
You said it the other way around, right?
Makes me look like a criminal.
On the other side, Futaba Rio was controlling the Bone Girl to clean up the battlefield.
"Ugh...that's disgusting."
The bone girl opened her lips slightly, turned the remaining corpse of the worm evil spirit into black gas and swallowed it into her stomach, with an expression of extreme disgust on her face.
Futaba Rio said unhappily.
"That's enough. It's good to have something to eat. After all, it's a very powerful evil spirit. We can't waste it."
"hehe."
Gu Nu has always been a person who either keeps silent or speaks bluntly, and never stops until her words are shocking.
In response to Futaba Rio's words, she just sneered.
"You had a good meal tonight, and you left me here, eating something so disgusting. You are really something, Mr. Granny."
Hearing the bone girl's sarcastic tone, Futaba Rio frowned slightly.
"What do you mean by good food? What are you talking about? I can't eat evil spirits."
"hehe."
The Bone Girl sneered again and said meaningfully.
"You can't eat evil spirits, but you can eat other things. I'm so envious. I work hard in the battle, but it's not my turn to enjoy. It's really exploitative."
Futaba Rio finally understood what the bone girl meant by eating. Her pretty face turned red with embarrassment and she spoke while gritting her teeth.
"You... stop talking nonsense!"
After stamping her feet in anger, Futaba Rio glanced at the skeletal body under the kimono of the bone girl and said lightly.
"Besides, you don't have that function."
"Without a body, a mouth is still..."
"Stop talking!"
.......
At this time, Ye Xing was sitting on the tram track, and next to him was the Chief of the Criminal Bureau of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, Soichiro Yagami.
He put his arm around the other's shoulders and spoke in an intimate tone.
"I say, Old Night."
Soichiro Yagami was speechless.
"My last name is Ye Shen."
"Oh, I say, old god."
Yagami Soichiro: “…”
"You can just call me Soichiro."
"That's what I've been waiting for."
Ye Xing was completely unceremonious and called him by his name.
"Soichiro, after what happened today, you should know that evil spirits exist in this world."
Soichiro Yagami had a complicated expression and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
"Well... I've seen it before."
He couldn't deny what had just happened.
Even if it's just my own illusion...
But those search and rescue workers who died, and his own Metropolitan Police Department subordinates who sacrificed their lives, were these lives all fake?
There are indeed monsters in this world that ordinary people don’t know about, but they really exist.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Hearing Ye Xing's question, Yagami Soichiro replied without hesitation.
"What else can we do? Such a dangerous matter must be reported to the higher-ups immediately so that appropriate measures can be taken..."
"No."
Just when Soichiro Yagami was halfway through his words, Rio Futaba suddenly walked over and interrupted him.
Then, Futaba Rio looked towards Ye Xing and spoke softly.
"I almost know the true appearance of this evil spirit."
Ye Xing nodded slightly and praised with a smile.
"Not bad, as expected of you."
When Futaba Rio heard the compliment, she was not happy at all. Instead, she sighed slightly, her tone full of helplessness.
"You've already discovered it, right?"
"Yeah, almost."
"Since when?"
"Let me think... It was probably when I first entered the other world that I thought it was possible."
"Then why didn't you tell me for so long?"
Hearing Futaba Rio's somewhat complaining words, Ye Xing just replied nonchalantly.
"Even if I say it, it's meaningless. Besides, it's just training you."
"Tsk, you're just being lazy, right?"
When Futaba Rio said this, Yagami Soichiro suddenly felt dizzy.
Then, he found himself sitting on a seat on a tram.
"this...?"
Looking at Soichiro Yagami who was looking puzzled, Ye Xing just smiled.
"Soichiro, this is the real world."
Soichiro Yagami became even more confused after hearing this.
"That place just now..."
Ye Xing looked at Futaba Rio and said, "You explain it."
"it is good."
Without asking too many questions, Rio Futaba told Soichiro Yagami everything about the other world and the "gate".
Although she did not trust the man in front of her, the Chief of the Criminal Bureau of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.
But since Ye Xing has said so, just do as he says.
"This this..."
After hearing what Futaba Rio said, Soichiro Yagami felt terrible and looked skeptical.
"You...are you kidding me?"
Ye Xing shrugged and asked back.
"What do you think?"
Soichiro Yagami pondered for a few seconds before speaking thoughtfully.
"If that's the case... it can explain why you didn't leave any traces during your several actions. It's like you were teleporting, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. "
"But..."
Soichiro Yagami suddenly changed the subject and said with a serious expression.
"You told me these things, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"
Hearing this, Ye Xing almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but he waved his hands to suppress his smile.
"Soichiro, you still don't understand."
"What don't you understand?"
Ye Xing patted Soichiro Yagami's shoulder, with a smile in his voice, but the words he said made the other party shudder.
"If one day, your Metropolitan Police Department finds out my true identity..."
"That's not my desperate situation."
"It's the date of death of all the members of the Metropolitan Police Department."
Soichiro Yagami's expression froze.
He could tell that the other person's eyes were serious and he was not joking.
With the ability of "Mask"...
This was not an empty threat.
The other party is really capable of doing this.
"Look how nervous you are."
A smile suddenly appeared in Ye Xing's eyes and he patted Soichiro Yagami's shoulder.
"I'm just kidding. I'm not that interested in killing people."
Soichiro Yagami breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that the white shirt under his suit jacket was soaked with sweat.
Soichiro Yagami calmed himself down and spoke in a serious voice.
"So...why are you telling me all this."
"Well... this involves what I just told you about the true structure of the other world."
Ye Xing asked as if he was not paying attention.
"Soichiro, what do you think that was just now?"
Soichiro Yagami frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Isn't that thing... the evil spirit you mentioned?"
Futaba Rio, who was sitting opposite, shook her head and spoke slowly.
"It is an evil spirit, but it is more than just an evil spirit. If I have to describe it in one word..."
Having said that, Futaba Rio and Ye Xing looked at each other and said in unison.
"tram."
Upon hearing this, Soichiro Yagami was stunned.
"Tram? That thing, is it a tram?"
Futaba Rio explained in a calm tone.
"Rather than calling it a tram, it's more like an evil spirit that is a combination of people's negative impressions of trams, such as depression, crowds, and silence."
Soichiro Yagami was stunned by what he heard.
"No, can a negative impression alone create a monster like that? This is unscientific..."
Futaba Rio interrupted Yagami Soichiro's words.
"Science is just a temporary summary of existing laws by humans. To think that current science can explain everything is a kind of superstition in itself."
The power boost that Rio Futaba gained from this battle was only secondary.
The most important gain was that she finally discovered the essence of the other world.
That place where evil spirits roam everywhere, thick black fog permeates the air, and a red moon hangs in the sky is not the same as Kyoto City.
