"Tokyo, it is indeed Tokyo."
Seeing that the person who said this was actually Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her lips.
"Futaba's personality has become much more cheerful than when we first met."
"this..."
Futaba Rio seemed a little embarrassed. She took off her glasses, put them on the table beside her, and muttered softly.
"That's right..."
"By the way..."
Yuigahama Yui glanced at Yexing's room and said with a complicated expression.
"Why are you staying in a luxury suite while we are all staying in ordinary king-size rooms?"
"Hey, it's wrong for you to interrupt."
Ye Xing replied seriously.
"I'm staying in a luxury suite. I paid for it myself, not from the club's activity funds. I didn't ask you to stay in a double room. It's good enough to have a king-size bed room. Hotels in Tokyo are very expensive."
Yuigahama Yui was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then nodded.
"That's right. Any money you can save is a lot. After all, making money by exorcising demons is dangerous."
"How come you really believed it?"
Sakurajima Mai sighed slightly, looked at Ye Xing who was sitting on the sofa, and said lightly with an expression that she understood everything.
"This guy, is he thinking that if they live in pairs, he won't have a chance to attack?"
Ye Xing nodded in agreement and smiled.
"Well, the one who knows me best is Senior Mai."
Then he stopped smiling and spoke seriously.
"Okay, let's talk business."
"What do you think about the 'gate' that appeared in Shibuya Shopping Street?"
Hearing the title of "beloved concubine", Saki Kawasaki's pretty face turned red. She opened her mouth to refute, but found that except for herself, the other four people did not have any unexpected reaction.
She was shocked.
Did I become an internal member of the Supernatural Society, or... joined someone's harem?
How did it develop to this point?
“Shibuya Shopping Street...”
Futaba Rio opened the online map on her phone, checked the view of the surrounding area, and said thoughtfully.
"In such a busy commercial area, there shouldn't be a 'door'. Even if there is one, it should be in a remote corner. It is illogical to stand it straight in the middle of a busy pedestrian street."
Yotsuya Miko added on the side.
"I checked to see if there had been any accidents with many casualties in Shibuya in the past few months, but there weren't any. The only thing worth noting was the renovation of the shopping mall next to the pedestrian street, but the construction process went smoothly, and there were no casualties like the one at Yukinoshita Construction Company."
"Then how could this happen... Could it be that underneath a certain building is actually a former mass grave?"
"Probably not. Even if it is a mass grave, the point is not the mass grave itself, but people's negative emotions and perceptions about it. Even if this commercial district was a battlefield where many people died hundreds of years ago, or some other place with heavy negative energy, most people would not care at all."
"This incident is indeed very difficult. In such a busy place with so many people coming and going, a 'door' actually appeared. Does it mean that the evil spirits in the surrounding area are much stronger than those in the dark and remote places?"
"Well, Jianzi has a point. We can't ignore this possibility."
.......
Listening to the discussion among exorcists such as Sakurajima Mai, Kawasaki Saki suddenly seemed to have thought of something and tentatively expressed her opinion.
"Well...I don't quite understand these things yet, but is it possible that this commercial street is not the first place where the 'gate' appeared?"
"Ok?"
Hearing what Kawasaki Saki said, Futaba Rio was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully.
"Isn't this the first place where the 'gate' was created..."
Saki Kawasaki waved her hand and said hurriedly.
"Um... I just said it casually, don't take it seriously..."
"No, you have a point."
Futaba Rio made a habitual movement to push the frame of her glasses, but forgot that she had already taken off her glasses, and her slender fingers pushed in vain.
Looking at the other members who were trying to hold back their laughter, she coughed twice to hide her embarrassment.
"Well...if it's as Shashi said, then it can be explained."
"Shibuya's pedestrian street was not the first place where the 'gate' was created, but was moved there."
"After all, there are evil spirits like Yashaku who have merged with the 'Gate', and there are also evil spirits that can directly pull the surrounding area into the other world. If it is a more powerful being that has merged with the 'Gate' for a longer time, it may be able to do this."
Mai Sakurajima frowned slightly when she heard this and lifted her long hair by her ear.
"If that's possible, wouldn't it be more beneficial to grow your strength if you move to a place like a hospital where people often die? Why move to the bustling Shibuya shopping street where there's almost no negative emotion?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
Ye Xing looked at Yotsuya Miko, the classmate who joined the club the earliest and had the most experience in exorcism. He had the same idea as him.
"Could it be that..."
Yotsuya Miko's heart sank, and just thinking of the scene in his mind, his face turned very ugly and his lips trembled slightly.
"Because... the flow of people on Shibuya Pedestrian Street is one of the highest in Tokyo... so..."
Ye Xing took over Yotsuya Miko's words and said something in a very calm tone that made Kawasaki Saki and others look horrified.
"So, as long as we successfully create an accident, the number of humans that can be killed and the negative emotions that can be collected will be the greatest."
Futaba Rio bit her teeth lightly and whispered.
"Even if it is an evil spirit that has merged with the 'Gate', the number of humans that can be pulled into the other world at one time is limited..."
"Also, there is the risk that the 'prey' you pull in will be targeted by other beings in the other world and snatched away."
"Compared to the other world surrounded by powerful evil spirits, the overall strength of the evil spirits and ghosts in the real world is much weaker. The evil spirit that can control the 'door' to this extent should be at the top of the food chain in Tokyo in the real world..."
"This guy... is he treating the real-world Shibuya Pedestrian Street as his own hunting ground..."
179 Tuanzi's superb operation, the red thread of God
"Anyway, let's find some time tomorrow to go to Shibuya Pedestrian Street."
Hearing what Ye Xing said, Futaba Rio nodded first, then said with a worried look on her face.
"But someone who could do such a thing must be extremely cunning, with an evil spirit that is no less intelligent than humans. Maybe it just put the 'door' there and hid itself far away?"
"That's unlikely."
Ye Xing smiled and said something directly, which made Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, and Yotsuya Miko blush and their hearts beat faster.
"Even evil spirits are living beings. They will not leave the things they cherish. Just like I will not let you four leave my side even though I know it is dangerous."
Feeling the silence in the room, Saki Kawasaki was at a loss.
no...
what about me?
Four people, does that mean you don’t count me?
Saki Kawasaki felt a little uncomfortable.
But after thinking about it carefully, he was just an ordinary person after all. His status in the hearts of psychics like Yuigahama Yui, Sakurajima Mai, Yotsuya Miko, and Futaba Rio, who were truly able to fight alongside Yohoshi, might indeed not be comparable.
The truth is this.
But Saki Kawasaki still felt very sad.
"Then let's go together tomorrow..."
Just when Futaba Rio was halfway through her speech, Yexing waved her hand and looked at Kawasaki Saki who was sitting there.
"Shahi, please come with me."
"Eh? Me?"
Seeing Kawasaki Saki's look of disbelief, Ye Xing just nodded and emphasized it again.
"Well, just you and me."
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko was about to say something, but Futaba Rio nodded first and said thoughtfully.
"Kawasaki-san, would you like to come along? That's a good idea."
Seeing Yotsuya Miko and Yuigahama Yui looking anxious, like cats whose tails were stepped on, Futaba Rio sighed.
"Don't worry, just listen to me."
"Although Kawasaki-san is just an ordinary person, for this operation, it would be best to have an ordinary person who knows the inside story but cannot observe the evil spirits."
"In a busy pedestrian street with lots of people coming and going, even if you confirm the existence of a 'door', it is difficult to destroy it on the spot."
"What's more, if, as Ye Xing said, the evil spirit is hiding in the dark nearby and watching, then when it sees that the 'door' that I have merged with great difficulty is about to be destroyed, it might become desperate and do something dangerous."
"If it has the ability to pull nearby areas into the other world, then based on the flow of people on the commercial street, at least hundreds or thousands of innocent people will be implicated."
"In order to ensure the safety of innocent people, and of course, to ensure that our actions are not hindered and our identities are not exposed, for the above two reasons, it is best to focus on reconnaissance and obtaining intelligence tomorrow. There is no need to rush."
Having said that, Futaba Rio paused, looked at Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, and Yotsuya Miko in front of her, and raised her chin.
"Can you guarantee that even if you see a terrifying evil spirit, you can still keep your composure and pass straight through the other party's body without revealing any flaws?"
"Anyway, I don't think I can do it. If any of you think you can do it, then join us in tomorrow's action."
After hearing this, Yotsuya Miko and Yuigahama Yui, who originally wanted to say something, looked at each other and chose to keep silent.
It is true that Yotsuya Miko's psychological quality is unusually strong among ordinary people.
But would she risk her courage and the lives of hundreds of innocent people just because she wanted to go to the bustling Shibuya shopping street with Yexing?
The answer is of course no.
Even if there is only a chance that one will reveal a "visible" flaw in front of the evil spirit, which will alert the enemy, the consequences will be extremely serious.
"Since you don't have the confidence, I'll continue."
Futaba Rio pointed at Kawasaki Saki who was sitting beside her with a bewildered look on her face, and said lightly.
"In contrast, Kawasaki-san cannot be 'observed', so he won't reveal any flaws."
"Also, unlike Yukinoshita-san and Kitagawa-san, she is an insider who knows the truth."
"Taking all factors into consideration, Kawasaki-san is the only suitable candidate."
Hearing this, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but asked a very logical question.
"So...why not let Nightstar go alone?"
"You've never been out with him?"
Futaba Rio glanced at Ye Xing who was sitting there with a frivolous smile on her face, and sighed helplessly.
"This guy's appearance is too attractive. If he walks to such a busy commercial pedestrian street, there will definitely be a lot of people trying to chat him up. Not to mention that given his personality, the way he handles things is too eye-catching. It will take time to reject the chats."
"Every second you stay in that area, the more likely you are to alert the enemy."
"If we go out with Kawasaki-san and pretend to be a high school couple, we won't have such concerns."
After finishing her analysis, Futaba Rio looked at Ye Xing who was sitting there.
"am I right?"
Ye Xing nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
"Yes, you are absolutely right, that's what I thought."
Seeing him like this, Futaba Rio was somewhat skeptical and muttered softly.
"Is that true?"
