Chapter 243: Page 243

Baimu shook his head and replied softly.

"Is this kind of distortion and madness the result of evil spirits manipulating human bodies, or is it the result of humans taking control of their own extremely twisted souls and desires? I can't tell."

........

At the same time, in the living room on the first floor.

Faced with the silent and somewhat depressing atmosphere, Yuigahama Yui hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak.

"Um... Mr. Sato, may I ask your wife...?"

"Oh, you mean Asako's mother."

Sato Asako's father waved his hands, his eyes as silent as death.

"That day, she was the first to discover Asako's body."

"When I got home, I saw her slumped on the floor and Asako dead on the balcony."

"Since that moment, Asako's mother lost her ability to think normally and became a mental patient."

"In order to avoid upsetting her, I sent her back to her hometown for recuperation."

Looking at the portraits displayed there, the members of Chaoliang Society could imagine what a wonderful family this was.

Just because of the twisted desires in the murderer's heart, he became so broken.

Futaba Rio took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Please rest assured, we will catch the murderer."

Hearing these words, Sato Asako's father's eyes finally changed a little, but he just shook his head and said with a deathly pale face.

"My daughter was the second victim, but until now, the Metropolitan Police Department has not caught the culprit."

"Besides, even if they catch him, what can we do?"

"Legal sanctions are not enough to make such beasts experience real pain."

Faced with these words, the members of Super Society could only choose to remain silent.

Although there are many death penalty sentences in Sakura Province, very few prisoners are actually executed.

Moreover, many prisoners would use the fact that they suffer from mental illness as an excuse to reduce their sentences.

They may even eventually return to society and commit cruel crimes again.

In this silence, the members of Chaoliangshe left Sato Asako's house with heavy hearts.

Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino stayed far away, while psychics Yohoshi, Sakurajima Mai, Futaba Rio, and Yotsuya Miko walked far away and had a discussion.

Yotsuya Miko told his Hundred Eyes everything about the strange traces he had just discovered.

"A soul twisted to the extreme..."

Futaba Rio pushed her glasses. Although she was in a very heavy mood, as the chief advisor of the Super Energy Society, she still had to put aside emotional factors and think about this matter from an absolutely rational perspective.

"Could it be... a psychic like us?"

159 Arrangement to track down the real murderer, invitation from Saki Kawasaki

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Kenko complained speechlessly.

"No... You said he was a psychic, but our souls can't be said to be twisted, right?"

Futaba Rio did not reply, but together with Sakurajima Mai, she turned her gaze to Ye Xing who was standing next to them.

Feeling their gazes, Ye Xing waved his hand.

"Don't look at me, I'm perfectly normal."

Rio Futaba gave a precise comment.

"Generally speaking, people with mental illness don't think they are mentally ill."

"Futaba-san, please be normal and don't go off topic."

"Haha, I was infected by you."

After all this banter, the gloom that had been lingering in everyone's hearts finally dissipated a little.

Mai Sakurajima, Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, and even Yuigahama Yui have all realized that this action is different from previous ones.

In the past, although they were fighting against the weirdness that invaded the city of Kyoto, ordinary people could not observe evil spirits after all, and they did not know which events were caused by which evil spirits.

The only incidents that could have caused large-scale casualties were the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten and the train incident, but Ye Xing acted in time to eliminate the evil spirits before they could complete their plans.

But this time...

It was the first time that they faced the relatives of the victims, talked with them, felt the pain in their hearts, and witnessed with their own eyes the torn apart of a family.

In comparison, Yukinoshita Yukino is the one with the least psychological burden except for Yohoshi.

Because she doesn't know the true abilities of the members of the Super Energy Society, nor does she know the truth about the world.

Until now, Yukinoshita Yukino did not believe that the investigation of just a few ordinary high school students could catch the serial killer who had overwhelmed the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department and even issued a notice.

Because of this, she doesn't feel too much pressure.

This is also an important reason why Yexing asked Yukinoshita Yukino to join the investigation.

"Back to business."

Futaba Rio said thoughtfully.

"If we rule out the possibility of a psychic, I actually have another guess."

Futaba Rio pushed the frame of her glasses, looked at the people in front of her, and spoke slowly.

"Maybe it's a similar existence to the long-tongued man and the meaty tentacle dean we encountered before, a combination of evil spirits and humans."

Hearing this, Ye Xing nodded and added.

"But we can only say that they are of similar nature. Judging from this guy's actions, it seems that the twisted desires of humans are taking the lead, rather than the instinct of evil spirits chasing psychics. Otherwise, he would not do such a thing."

It is true that evil spirits are terrifying monsters that have an instinctive desire to kill humans.

But in a sense, their malice is fair.

Except for those who are gifted with powerful psychic powers like Shoko Makinohara and Hana Yurikawa, any other human being, whether old, women, children or men, is the same in the eyes of evil spirits.

All they think about is how to kill more humans.

And when this Sunny Doll Killer was acting, he was obviously deliberately choosing his targets.

This is not in line with the instincts of evil spirits.

"According to the Metropolitan Police Department's autopsy report..."

Yotsuya Kenko spoke as he pondered.

"I don't know how much strength is needed to tear off a human's limbs without any tools..."

As soon as she said this, Ye Xing added with a smile.

"I know that normal humans can't do it."

There was silence in the air.

Looking at the complicated looks from Sakurajima Mai and others, Ye Xing just replied as a matter of course.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I haven't killed anyone before. Don't you all know that? What's there to be surprised about?"

"Friends who often kill people know that it is very difficult to tear off limbs without the help of external objects..."

Seeing that Ye Xing was getting more and more outrageous, Futaba Rio quickly raised her hand to interrupt him and sighed helplessly.

"You are sharing your experience here? Based on your experience, how strong is the opponent?"

The speed at which the night stars change their faces is amazing.

He instantly regained his serious demeanor and replied.

"It's hard to say, but if the murderer did this by brute force alone, then he must be physically stronger than all of you."

Futaba Rio added immediately afterwards.

"Also, we don't know if the other party can use special abilities like our soul materialization. I think it is possible. If he is just an ordinary person with strong physical fitness, it is impossible for the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department to not notice any flaws."

Then, Futaba Rio asked the most important question.

"Besides, if he is not stopped soon... his power will probably become even stronger."

Yotsuya Miko and Sakurajima Mai were not stupid either. After Futaba Rio said this, they immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, and their eyes became a little heavy.

If the evil spirit that merged with the Sunny Doll Killer was born from the other world...

As the people of Kyoto become more fearful, disgusted, and even hateful of the "Sunny Day Killer," the power of this evil spirit will become even more terrifying.

The situation became even more serious after the Metropolitan Police Department issued an announcement, but the Sunny Doll Killer still committed the fifth case.

There is even a worst-case scenario.

The evil spirit from the other world that has merged with the human with twisted desires is, like the "tram" last time, a collection of people's negative impressions of something.

Under the double growth, if it is not resolved quickly...

Kyoto is in danger.

"Anyway, since it's confirmed to be related to evil spirits..."

Yohoshi looked towards Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio.

"I'll leave the search for traces to you two."

Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko nodded and said in unison.

"no problem."

At this time, Sakurajima Mai noticed that Menma, who had been following her silently, had not spoken for a long time and had a very complicated expression on her little face, so she couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Menma, are you okay?"

"Um..."

Menma nodded first, then shook her head and muttered to herself.

"I just think...after Menma died, her family must be very sad..."

Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but ask.

"Menma, you still haven't remembered your name?"

"Forgot..."

Menma shook her head and forced a smile.

"I just remember being called Menma by others."

Just when Sakurajima Mai and others were at a loss, Ye Xing suddenly spoke casually.

"Menma's real name is Meiko Honma."

"Eh?"

The three women in front of him, including the person involved, Menma, were stunned when they heard the name he said.

"How did you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know this. Just ask Menma if she has any impression of this name."

"Meiko Honma..."

Menma muttered these words softly and nodded very seriously.

"Hmm! When I heard this name, I had a very familiar feeling. This must be Menma's real name!"

"Anyway, that's it. The joyful summer life officially begins today."

After saying this, Ye Xing looked towards the hidden alley not far away and smiled kindly.

"Now, it's time to deal with the flies."

.......

At the same time, in that hidden alley.
