Although society is calling for the death penalty, most people know that the final result of the trial will probably be a few years of treatment in a mental hospital instead of imprisonment.
Yagami Zhuangyu walked into the kitchen and helped his mother organize the ingredients needed for cooking while sighing helplessly.
"Alas, a guy like this can actually return to society in the end. This is what makes people most worried."
"Who knows if he will commit another horrific crime after returning to society?"
“It’s really worrying.”
Mrs. Ye Shen could only force a smile regarding the topic her daughter and son were discussing.
"Fortunately, Soichiro doesn't work for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, otherwise this case would probably have driven him to high blood pressure."
Light Yagami picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then looked at the headlines in the newspaper and the photo of the suspect Miurakura. A barely perceptible scarlet color flashed in his brown eyes, and he spoke lightly.
"The criminals that we worked so hard to catch escaped punishment because of the flaws in the legal system. I understand the frustration of not being able to change anything."
Yagami Zhuangyu wiped his hands on his apron, walked behind Yagami Light, patted the other's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Brother, since you think this way, why don't you consider changing your ideal? Don't go to the Metropolitan Police Department, why don't you run for a seat in the Legislative Assembly? That's the way to truly change society."
Light Yagami returned the smile.
"Let's talk about it when I go to college."
Yagami Zhuangyu curled his lips, looking a little envious.
"Hey, with your intelligence, you should have no problem going to any university. Really, we are both from the Yagami family, so why am I so far behind?"
Light Yagami patted his sister's head and laughed.
"If you work hard, you won't be worse than me."
"I'm going upstairs to study first."
After going up to the second floor and returning to his room, Light Yagami looked at the newspaper in his hand. The scarlet color in his brown eyes became more and more obvious. A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself.
“To change society…you don’t need an MP.”
"What is needed is 'Kira'."
.......
That night, in Futaba Rio's hotel room.
The four psychics, Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, Sakurajima Mai, and Yuigahama Yui, were sitting together, chatting about random things.
"By the way..."
Yuigahama sat on the sofa, nibbling on a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips, and sighed.
"I had my Qingji devour a few evil spirits before, but it didn't seem to improve her strength much. Is it because my talent is not good enough, so this is the case..."
Then, Yuigahama Yui looked at Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, and Sakurajima Mai and asked curiously.
"You are so strong now, you must have let your soul body devour many evil spirits, right? How many are there?"
"Um...well..."
Seeing the complicated expressions of Sakurajima Mai, Futaba Rio, and Yotsuya Miko, Yuigahama Yui was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hands to explain.
"Ah, did I ask some private question that I shouldn't have asked? Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it."
Futaba Rio pushed her glasses. She was always calm and composed, but when faced with this question, she became hesitant to speak.
"Swallowing evil spirits... is not a sensitive issue. We did let our souls swallow a lot of evil spirits during the exorcism process. It's just that the main reason for improving our strength... This..."
Futaba Rio opened her mouth, hesitating, not knowing what to say.
Devouring evil spirits?
Um...
This is also one of the ways to make the true soul stronger.
but...
If infused, not only will the improvement be faster, but the physical fitness will also be strengthened.
Didn’t you see that exorcism operation a few days ago, where not only the strongest Yotsuya Miko, but even Futaba Rio and Sakurajima Mai were able to jump off the roof of a several-meter-high building without batting an eyelid?
If you just devour the evil spirit normally, the ability of the soul's true body can be strengthened.
But the psychic himself is still just a human body, which is a fatal weakness when facing evil spirits.
There is only one way to change this, and that is...
But how can I say this?!
"Cough cough."
Seeing that Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko both had slightly blushing faces and looked unpromising, Sakurajima Mai, who thought of herself as the mistress of the harem, felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She came closer, took away Yuigahama Yui's potato chips, then held her hand and said sincerely.
"Tuanzi, do you really want to know?"
Seeing Sakurajima Mai's serious look, Yuigahama Yui was a little at a loss. She nodded and spoke cautiously.
"Is it... dangerous?"
"Dangerous... it is indeed a bit dangerous."
Mai Sakurajima seemed to recall something and said with a slightly red face.
“There were a few times when I passed out while increasing my strength.”
Yotsuya Kenko nodded slightly and echoed in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.
"I... I too, have reached my limit..."
Hearing this, Yuigahama Yui's pupils dilated in shock.
Let’s put Mai-senpai aside for now.
Even Yotsuya Miko, the strongest person in the Super Energy Society and the only one besides Yohoshi who can destroy evil spirits head-on without relying on the Soul Body, can't bear it and falls into a coma during the process of increasing her strength! ?
What a cruel training! ?
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
Is the price of becoming strong to endure such torture?
Yuigahama Yui, who has a gentle personality and strong empathy, held Sakurajima Mai's hands and spoke in a heavy tone.
"Mai-senpai, I can't even imagine how much pain you've gone through in order to become stronger."
"pain..."
Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips, glanced at Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya beside her, and said with a complicated expression.
"It's not really painful, in fact... it's quite something."
"Then what? What?"
Looking at Yuigahama Yui's silly and confused look, even Sakurajima Mai, who has a generous personality, would not openly discuss her nighttime activities with Yohoshi with others.
What's more, Miko and Futaba are right next to them.
"Well...why don't you give Ye Xing a call..."
Mai Sakurajima suppressed her shyness and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"He...he knows more about this aspect."
"I see."
Yuigahama Yui looked as if she had suddenly realized something.
Sure enough, Ye Xing is the most professional when it comes to exorcism.
So, that method that can quickly increase strength was developed by the other party?
Bravo.
Yuigahama Yui thought that since she had made up her mind, she could not be left behind by the people in the Super Society.
She must catch up.
"Okay, I understand, Mai-senpai."
Yuigahama Yui stood up impatiently and took out her cell phone from her arms, as if she was going to dial Yexing's number in front of everyone.
Seeing this, Sakurajima Mai hurriedly stopped him and spoke cautiously.
"Well... you'd better make an appointment with him and talk to him alone in private."
Yotsuya Miko stood up and walked to Yuigahama Yui, patted her on the shoulder, and encouraged her while Yuigahama Yui looked at her with confusion.
"Tuanzi, come on!"
.......
After returning to her room, Yuigahama Yui took out her cell phone, took a deep breath, and talked to herself.
"Tuanzi, come on!"
Then she dialed Ye Xing's number.
After the call is connected.
"Ye Xing, are you busy now?"
"Oh, Yui, don't be busy, go ahead."
Yuigahama Yui was about to say something when she heard bursts of roars and howls coming from the other end of the phone.
"be honest."
After a dull sound like the collision of flesh, it became quiet again.
Yuigahama Yui asked hesitantly.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Xing replied with a smile in her voice.
"Nothing, I just wanted to relax during this period of time. I happened to be free today, so I came to taste the local specialties of Tokyo."
"Ah this..."
Yuigahama Yui knew that the specialty food that Yohoshi was talking about was definitely not ramen, barbecue, sushi or the like.
However, she had already seen it.
Compared to reasons like protecting the city of Kyoto or protecting innocent people, Ye Xing's purpose in choosing to become an exorcist is much simpler.
Whether it is eating the evil spirits or destroying them.
Yexing just likes and enjoys this process.
The mind is definitely not normal.
Yuigahama Yui shook her head helplessly, not caring too much, and just spoke frankly.
"I want to become stronger. Senior Mai said, do you know a special training method?"
"It's a special practice... I can call it practice, but there's nothing wrong with that."
Ye Xing replied without comment, and then suddenly spoke in a serious tone.
"But are you mentally prepared?"
"Not only the body, but also the spirit needs to endure extremely severe tests. Not only is the physical strength pushed to the limit, but also the willpower is tempered. Only by overcoming all of this can you become stronger."
"so smart!?"
Yuigahama Yui gritted her teeth, with an expression as if she was ready to die.
"Well, I'm ready!"
"Well, I'll send you the address and you can come find me."
"Okay, see you soon."
After hanging up the phone, Yuigahama Yui wanted to go out directly, but suddenly she caught sight of her suitcase in the corner of the room.
She recalled what her mother had said to her before she left.
"Yui, once you realize your feelings, you should put everything aside and move forward bravely. Sometimes, gentleness is useless and you need more courage!"
