"If we are not sure whether we can bring back Night Star and do not know what changes have taken place in the other world, it is very likely that we will be doomed if we rashly open the 'door'."
When saying this, Futaba Rio gritted her teeth, and a look of unwillingness appeared in her eyes.
Of course, she also wanted Ye Xing to leave the other world as soon as possible and return to her and others.
but...
As the top advisor of the Supernatural Society, it is Rio Futaba's duty to put aside all emotional factors and always maintain absolute rationality, even cold and ruthless thinking.
On the way here, she saw the citizens of Kyoto who were panicking because of power outages and cell phone communications being cut off.
What kind of impact will such a large-scale generation of negative emotions have on the inner world?
It is unknown about Futaba Rio.
She only knew one thing.
The enemy now dares not open the "door" for fear that Yexing will escape from the inner world.
And he and others are also unable to open the "door" because doing so may cause changes in the other world and use this channel to enter the real world.
The Chaoliang Society team and the mastermind behind the attack on the entire Kyoto, both sides...
No one dares to gamble.
219 Plan to repair the power station, trap for the strongest exorcist
"Now...what should I do?"
The eyes of the rest of the people were all on Rio Futaba, who had the best brain and served as the Chief Operations Officer of the Super Energy Society, and Miko Yotsuya, who had the strongest frontal combat capability in the absence of Yohoshi, and they were waiting for their decision.
Futaba Rio frowned, her brain working rapidly.
The incident happened so suddenly that not only her, but all the members present felt caught off guard.
"The most critical issue now is..."
Futaba Rio took out her cell phone and took a look at it. After confirming the current time, she slowly spoke to everyone.
"It will be seven o'clock in less than twenty minutes. Once the demonic time is over, even if Hachishaku opens the 'door', Yexing will not be able to leave the inner world."
The difference between evil spirits and psychics is that the former can travel between the two worlds regardless of the time period.
Although Futaba Rio knew that compared to pure humans, Ye Xing possessed some physical qualities similar to those of evil spirits, no one knew whether Ye Xing could use this to travel through the "gate" to another world during time periods other than dawn and dusk.
The most important thing is the issue I just mentioned.
Don't dare to gamble.
If after Hachisha-sama opens the "door", it is not Yexing who comes out, but the horrible evil spirits in the other world, this behavior is equivalent to digging one's own grave.
"Wait a moment..."
Just as Futaba Rio was thinking hard, Yotsuya Miko suddenly spoke thoughtfully.
"Do you feel that the attacks launched against us psychics are a bit like thunder with little impact?"
Mai Sakurajima nodded, frowning slightly.
"Yes, a little bit. Although there are a lot of evil spirits attacking, there is no powerful one among them. According to the evaluation given by Ye Xing, if the danger level of Tokyo was S, this time it is at most B level."
At such a dangerous moment, Yuigahama Yui, who always looks cute and silly, was also thinking seriously. When she heard what Sakurajima Mai said, she couldn't help but speak.
"You think... could it be because... these are the only forces the enemy can mobilize?"
"you mean..."
Yuigahama Yui thought about it and slowly explained.
"Think about it. If we regard every power station in Kyoto as a stronghold, then after the enemy destroys it, they must allocate forces to guard this stronghold. Otherwise, the top leaders of Kyoto will definitely send people to repair it immediately."
Hearing Yuigahama Yui's words, a glimmer of hope flashed in Futaba Rio's eyes, and her usually bland and emotionless voice was now filled with a hint of excitement.
"That's right, Tuanzi is absolutely right, this is the way to break the deadlock!"
Futaba Rio took a deep breath and spoke in a hurried tone.
"Just like what Tuanzi said, after the power circuit was cut off, although the top leaders of Kyoto City didn't know that it was the work of evil spirits, they would definitely send people to repair it. There is no doubt about that."
"We have all seen evil spirits that can affect humans and even attack directly without integrating the surrounding area with the other world."
When Sakurajima Mai heard this, her pupils shrank slightly in shock.
"You mean... every power station is guarded by evil spirits that have merged with humans... and will kill any human who goes there?"
"Exactly."
Although Futaba Rio was not wearing glasses, she still habitually made a gesture of pushing the frames.
“I’m not sure how many power stations there are in Kyoto, but given the size of the city, there should be at least four or five.”
"Normally, there is a margin for the number of power stations built. The efficiency of each power station is only maintained at around 60-70%. This is to ensure that when a power station suddenly fails, it can continue to maintain the power supply required by the entire city without exceeding the load or damaging the machinery."
"That is to say..."
Futaba Rio took a deep breath and gave her final conclusion.
"We are now in a battle of offense and defense with the enemy, but we have the advantage because we don't need to eliminate all the evil spirits in the power stations. We only need to restore the operation of three or four, or even just one or two power stations to restore the power supply of Kyoto City."
Yotsuya Kenko nodded slightly and spoke in a heavy tone.
"The difficulty lies in...how to keep the power station running while the evil spirits are attacking at any time, at least until tomorrow morning..."
Having said this, Yotsuya Miko fell silent.
The rest of the people present were also silent.
Guard a power station until tomorrow morning?
You know, it’s not even seven o’clock yet.
Fortunately, it will be summer, with long days and short nights, but even if we are lucky, we will have to last at least twelve hours under the attack of the evil spirits.
“This is the only way.”
Mai Sakurajima's eyes revealed determination as she spoke word by word.
"We cannot let this city fall into darkness. This is not only for the citizens, but also for the Night Star trapped in the other world."
Everyone understood what Mai Sakurajima meant.
If the power supply is not restored tonight, except for places like the Metropolitan Police Department and hospitals that have emergency diesel generators, the rest of Kyoto will be plunged into darkness.
This is bound to cause panic and tension among citizens.
All the negative emotions of all people will gather in the inner world and materialize into one or even multiple terrifying evil spirits. The only human in the inner world, Kyoto City's number one exorcist Ye Xing, is their first target.
"Our disadvantage is obvious now."
Mai Sakurajima spoke softly.
"On our side, we need to protect Shouko and Menma, as well as Hachishaku who is in poor condition. And it is best to avoid fighting in public, otherwise there is a risk of exposing our true identities."
"The enemy is an evil spirit that ordinary people cannot observe and can attack us at any time, but this is also our advantage."
"As long as we kill those guys who have merged with humans and can directly interfere with reality, even if the remaining evil spirits are extremely anxious, they will not be able to stop the ordinary human personnel on site from repairing the power station."
Futaba Rio nodded and agreed.
"I have the same idea as you, but before we set off, there are two most important things."
"First, if we want to clean the power station, we need someone to tell us the location and not stop us. We also need to maintain order at the scene."
"The second point, and the most important one..."
Having said that, Futaba Rio raised the phone in her hand.
"Now that the mobile phone signal has been cut off, we need another way to communicate. Although I have prepared a radio walkie-talkie, the range of this civilian walkie-talkie is no more than two kilometers. We must at least split into two teams to repair two power stations at the same time. The distance between them is beyond the maximum range of the walkie-talkie."
Yotsuya Miko had already understood what Futaba Rio meant. A look of determination appeared in her golden eyes beneath the mask, and she nodded.
"Well, those evil spirits that merged with humans, while gaining the ability to directly interfere with reality, also have a fatal weakness, which is that they can be harmed by ordinary people."
"This time, the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department can really help us."
Futaba Rio nodded and looked at Hashisha-sama who was slumped on the ground, as well as Shoko and Menma Makinohara who might be attacked by evil spirits but had no power to fight back. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
Before she could say anything, Yuigahama Yui took the initiative to speak.
"You go clean up the power station, I'll take them to hide and be responsible for their safety."
"Are you sure? Yui, this matter is very..."
"It's dangerous, I know."
Yuigahama Yui interrupted Futaba Rio with a smile.
She naturally understood that in the eyes of the enemy, Hachisha-sama, who possessed the power to open the "door", was like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any time with uncertain consequences.
If the enemy is lucky, the evil spirit that escapes from the other world will directly kill Hachisha-sama without the other party having to take any action.
If I'm lucky...
The strongest exorcist in history, the innate abstract holy body, the great butter shooter, is about to appear on the stage.
In the current situation, the enemy is the one with the upper hand, so naturally they would not want to put all their hopes on so-called luck.
Yuigahama Yui took a deep breath, a firm look appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Sakurajima Mai, Yotsuya Miko, and Futaba Rio in front of her and spoke with a smile.
“This is the most efficient method and the only way to maximize the success rate and ensure that Nightstar is as safe as possible.”
"Be prepared, and then take action."
Futaba Rio nodded and said in a complicated tone.
"He is not involved in this operation..."
Yotsuya Miko sighed softly and spoke softly.
"If he were here, he would probably say something like this."
"What?"
"If you want to protect everyone in Kyoto, you won't be able to protect anyone."
........
Twenty minutes later, outside the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.
Soichiro Yagami sat in the police car, listening to the reports from police officers in various places coming from the radio. His square face was frowned and his eyes were full of worry and confusion.
If it is a sudden circuit failure in a power station or an area, it is understandable.
However, all the power stations had problems at the same time, causing the entire city of Kyoto to lose power supply. This was truly unbelievable and a bizarre event that completely defied normal logic.
Moreover, the police officers he sent out to accompany the maintenance personnel to repair various power stations lost contact completely after they arrived.
strangeness.
It's so weird.
Could it be that.......
Although Soichiro Yagami does not have the ability to "observe", the matter was so strange and bizarre that he immediately thought of the word "evil spirit".
Is it a strange incident?
But why?
Why didn’t the “Mask” come to find me?
Is it because the other party is fighting with the mastermind behind the scenes?
Or......
Soichiro Yagami didn't dare to think any further.
He had seen with his own eyes the perverted murderer known as the Sunny Day Killer and the monster worm as big as a tram in the deep and dark underground passage.
Those things are definitely not something that guns or knives can deal with.
Even the Metropolitan Police Department's heavy firepower unit was no match for a monster like that.
If the "Mask" is really dead...
Then the city of Kyoto is not far from destruction.
