"Ming...understood."
The two jumped onto the media car and stepped on the accelerator to escape from the scene.
They simply cannot comprehend what is happening today.
How could a human body suddenly expand to five meters high?
What is that black and white headless monster?!
What's going on in this world?
As professional media people in the TV station, they have seen a lot of ups and downs, so they can naturally understand the hint in Soichiro Yagami's words.
The first meaning.
If you report things inaccurately and "Mask" causes trouble for your TV station, the Metropolitan Police Department will be unable to do anything about it.
The second meaning.
If you report the case in advance and it conflicts with the Metropolitan Police Department's case announcement, you will also be in trouble.
Watching the TV station's media car speeding away, Soichiro Yagami sighed helplessly.
"This guy has to let me, the criminal director, clean up the mess. He's really proud of himself."
He turned around and looked at the "mask" who was still doing something called "cooking" but actually seemed to be torturing the Sunny Doll Killer with some special means. With a complicated expression, he walked to Sakurajima Mai and others and said hesitantly.
"Don't you have any objection to his actions?"
"No."
Yotsuya Miko, who was wearing a white mask with light gold patterns, shook her head and replied calmly.
"As companions, we all have different ideas and actions, but the correct way to deal with it is to stick to the principle of not interfering even if we disagree."
Seeing that the other two had the same attitude, Soichiro Yagami couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Finally, he couldn't help but walked over to the "Mask" and spoke hesitantly.
"Since you've already caught him, there's no need to resort to lynching, right? Since you played the hero today, there's no need to do something that won't be called justice."
"Lynching?"
Ye Xing's hands did not pause at all. He just continued to slowly cut the opponent's soul amid the painful and twisted howls of the Sunny Doll Killer, and replied lightly.
"I even felt that just letting him suffer like this was not enough."
Then, Ye Xing turned his head and looked directly into Soichiro Yagami's eyes, without any emotion in his eyes, and spoke in a flat tone.
"As for heroes? Justice?"
“When a person is kidnapped by the name of a hero and his hands are tied, he is no longer a hero.”
“When justice requires the approval of others, it is no longer justice.”
When Soichiro Yagami heard this, he couldn't help but feel a complicated feeling in his heart.
Just at this moment, Ye Xing suddenly changed the subject and a smile appeared in his voice again.
"Besides, he himself has stressed that there is no way for him to feel pain, so he doesn't feel any pain at all."
Soichiro Yagami was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the Sunny Doll Killer who was rolling over there, howling in pain, and leaving bloody marks on the ground with his ten fingers, and said with a complicated expression.
"Is this a sign of no pain?"
Ye Xing waved his hand nonchalantly and chuckled.
"Well, it's normal for children to just play when they have nothing to do."
"this..."
Ye Xing put Onimaru Kunitsugu into the scabbard, and with his free right hand, he patted Yagami Soichiro on the shoulder.
"Hey, Soichiro, what about the trust between people? Even a criminal who committed such a horrific crime needs the trust of others. So when he said he didn't feel pain, I, with my simple personality, chose to believe him and give the criminal a chance to reform."
After hearing this, Soichiro Yagami didn't know where to start complaining.
Is the trust between people applicable in this kind of place?
Simple personality?
Believe?
Rehabilitation?
"OK."
Seeing the "Masked Man" stand up straight, Soichiro Yagami glanced at the Sunny Doll Killer who was lying next to him. Although his face was distorted with pain, he was at least still alive. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now that you're done, I'll take this guy back to the hall..."
"Finish?"
Ye Xing interrupted Soichiro Yagami and laughed.
"We have only completed 5 percent of the process, and there is still 95 percent left."
"Let me show you, Soichiro."
Having said that, Ye Xing waved his hand casually, and dozens of tools of different shapes instantly appeared on the black table. They were condensed from the power of evil spirits and could directly harm the soul.
"This is the wonderful tool I'm going to use later."
Soichiro Yagami took a careful look and said puzzledly.
"Why...are there small grinding wheels and nail clippers?"
"This is hard to explain to you, so let your imagination run wild."
Having said that, Ye Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched the pistol from Soichiro Yagami's hand before he could react.
"correct..."
Then he walked up to the Sunny Doll Killer lying on the ground, pulled the trigger without hesitation, and shot the other person in the middle of the eyebrow.
The Sunny Doll Killer's body twitched, and then he lost his breath.
"Here, you can take it."
Ye Xing picked up the body of the Sunny Doll Killer with one hand and threw it in front of Soichiro Yagami like throwing away garbage. He also threw the other's pistol over and chuckled.
"Criminal Bureau Chief Soichiro Yagami handled the serial killer alone and successfully killed him. He really made a great contribution."
"this..."
Soichiro Yagami looked at the bullet holes on the body of the Sunny Doll Killer, which had not healed like before, and hesitated.
"Is this guy...dead?"
"Physically speaking, he is dead."
Ye Xing glanced at the table in front of him, picked up a small object like a nail clipper with his right hand, looked at the twisted black soul in his left hand, chuckled and spoke.
"As for the torture of his soul, it is far from over."
.........
Two hours later, at Sakurajima Mai's house.
"Finally...it's over."
Futaba Rio took out her glasses from her pocket and put them on, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Sakurajima Mai and Yotsuya Miko also looked relieved.
"So..."
Futaba Rio looked at Yohoshi who was sitting there.
"What's the next plan, Captain?"
Ye Xing picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then replied casually.
"Let's stop the action for now and see what the Metropolitan Police Department thinks."
Sakurajima Mai nodded and agreed.
"I think so too. At this stage, we haven't found any other evil spirits that are too harmful to humans, or areas with 'gates'. This time is different from the past. After all, we are making a public appearance on live TV, which will definitely cause heated discussions among the public."
"Although we have not committed any serious crimes, as a violent law enforcement agency that maintains social stability, it is hard to say whether the Metropolitan Police Department will launch a full-scale investigation into us because of this incident."
"Until this is confirmed, it is better to keep a low profile."
Yotsuya Miko nodded slightly, "I agree. If you are too tired, it will affect your performance in battle. Let's put safety first."
Futaba Rio said thoughtfully: "But there is one thing I am curious about."
"This time, the evil spirits should have come from the other world, but how did they come into being? It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, led by a twisted human soul."
"Oh, about that..."
Ye Xing said nonchalantly.
"The evil spirit this time is probably the type formed by the negative impression that Kyoto residents have of rainy days."
"Eh? How do you know?"
“I tasted it.”
"taste..."
Futaba Rio and others had complicated expressions and didn't know how to comment.
Can you still taste this thing?
What kind of gourmet is tasting evil spirits?
Speaking of food...
"Tuanzi, what should we do?"
Hearing the question raised by Sakurajima Mai, Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and then looked at Ye Xing who was sitting there with burning eyes.
The latter still had a frivolous smile on his face and said casually.
"What are you all staring at me for?"
"Didn't you say that yourself?"
Futaba Rio curled her lips, not trying to hide her jealousy, and said with a little displeasure.
"In order to fight against the weirdness in this world, we must bring capable members together closely, which is what we call forming bonds."
"Now Tuanzi has awakened her psychic ability, and it seems that her soul body can be put to use."
"so..."
Mai Sakurajima, Rio Futaba, and Miko Yotsuya said in unison.
"I leave it to you, Captain."
"彳庍口巴."
........
the next morning.
"The Sunny Doll Killer case that shocked the entire city yesterday has been closed by the Metropolitan Police Department today."
"The suspect was shot dead on the spot by Soichiro Yagami, the chief of the Criminal Bureau of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, at 9:45 last night."
"In the suspect's home, we found hair that matched the DNA of the five victims, and clothing stained with the victims' blood. The chain of evidence was sufficient to confirm that it was the Sunny Doll Killer himself."
"Here, Criminal Bureau Director Soichiro Yagami once again solemnly promises to the general public."
"The Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department will never let any criminal go."
"above."
.......
"The serial killer was finally shot dead."
Kitagawa Umi, who was curled up on the sofa, couldn't help laughing when she saw the news on TV.
"This is great. I don't have to worry every time I go out."
Kawasaki Saki looked at Ye Xing who was sitting next to her with a calm expression, and responded hesitantly.
