Ye Xing smiled nonchalantly and also lowered his voice.
"The credit for 'Mask' is meaningless, but if you were promoted to a higher position in the Metropolitan Police Department, you would be able to provide me with more help."
Upon hearing this, Soichiro Yagami sighed, not knowing how to comment.
He had no idea what this "masked man" wanted.
I don't care about fame or money.
Are we doing these things just for fun?
Are there such people in this world?
While Soichiro Yagami was thinking, Ye Xing had already started scanning the group of reporters in front of him, and suddenly found a familiar face standing on the periphery.
"Miss, please come forward."
"Eh? Me?"
Natsumi Suga, who seemed out of place among a group of reporters armed with cameras and long guns, was holding only a notebook. When she saw that she was actually called by the "mask", she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, it's you."
Yexing nodded and smiled.
"You will be the one to conduct an exclusive interview with Director Yagami."
.........
At the same time, in an apartment.
On the table in front of Shizuka Hiratsuka was a can of cold beer and in her hand was a lit, long cigarette, but she was so stunned that she even forgot to shake off the ash.
She looked at the replay in front of her, and at the long, thin silver nail in the "Mask's" hand, and muttered to herself.
"This thing...why does it feel so familiar?"
235 The new member's selection, the strongest wingman Yukinoshita Yukino
Shizuka Hiratsuka pressed the pause button on the remote control, moved in front of the TV, watched the replay, and carefully observed the long spikes in the hands of the "masked man".
First of all, this is a sharp nail that is about 30 cm long and is not seen in daily life.
After a closer look, Shizuka Hiratsuka found that the surface of the nail was very smooth, and it reflected a slight cold light under the sunlight.
"Where on earth have I seen something like this before..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka always felt that she had seen this kind of nail somewhere before and it gave her a very familiar feeling.
After trying hard to recall for a long time, the scene suddenly emerged in her mind when she broke into the activity room on the first day of school and met Yotsuya Miko and Yohoshi for the first time.
"and many more..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka finally remembered.
The long silver nail that I confiscated from Ye Xing at that time was almost exactly the same as the nail in the replayed footage, except for the difference in length.
"That thing...seems to still be in the office."
Shizuka Hiratsuka made up her mind to go back to Sobu High School tomorrow to look for the confiscated silver nail in her drawer and compare it with the replay footage from Kyoto City TV.
She had only seen nails made of pure silver twice.
One time was in Ye Xing's hands, and the other time was the "mask" in this TV live broadcast.
According to rational analysis...
Holding the same weapons, possessing the same unusual abilities...
Could it be that Ye Xing and "Mask" are the same person?
Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't have any special ideas.
She just wanted to satisfy her curiosity and find out how her most proud student, while playing the role of an exorcist...
Are you also playing the role of a hero who saves Kyoto City at the same time?
.......
Later that day, at Yexing's house.
"it is finally over."
Except for Kitagawa Umi who was still kept in the dark, the members of Chaoliang Society gathered together again.
"Yeah, it's over."
After hearing Yuigahama Yui's words and seeing her cute and adorable smile, Sakurajima Mai really couldn't connect this adorable girl in front of her with the cold and cruel exorcist who fought the Girl of the Ugly Hour that day.
Usually, Futaba Rio is rational and calm, and never panics. However, during the period when Yoho was trapped in the inner world, her power of soul materialization was affected due to her inner confusion and hesitation.
However, Yuigahama Yui performed beyond her normal level because of the anger in her heart.
This is also the difference brought about by everyone's different personality, and it is hard to say which one is good and which one is bad.
It only proves that...Ye Xing holds an important position in both of their hearts.
"Our members..."
Futaba Rio looked at the people sitting in the living room and sighed slightly.
"If strange incidents of this scale occur frequently in the future, then the current scale of our society is still too small after all."
Yukinoshita Haruno leaned lazily on the sofa, nibbling on the exquisite pastry in her hand and chuckled.
"Don't count me in. I have no intention of joining your club."
When Yukinoshita Yukino heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Sister... you have also seen the damage that evil spirits can cause... only psychics can..."
"Do not."
Yang No interrupted Yukinoshita Yukino's words, stroked the long hair of her lovely sister, and said with a smile.
"As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, I must inherit our family's company. Besides, I am still studying at a university in Chiba Prefecture and it is impossible for me to stay in Kyoto. Moreover, my ability is not strong enough to provide you with any effective help, so don't count me in."
Hearing what Haruno said, Yuigahama Yui spoke cautiously.
"Actually... everyone was not very strong at the beginning..."
Futaba Rio seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, as if she wanted to interrupt Yuigahama Yui's words, but in the end she remained silent.
She really didn't like Yukinoshita Haruno.
There are many reasons. The other party seems to have everything under control and everyone else is an NPC who can be calculated at will. He measures the value of everyone and seems to be friendly, but in fact his attitude is condescending.
The kind of sarcastic tone that is mixed with sarcasm.
And most importantly, the competitors in the Shura Field.
But Futaba Rio felt that her personal opinion on Haruno was one thing. As for the ability of soul materialization and various information and intelligence about psychics, including methods to quickly increase strength, since the other party had awakened the soul materialization and became a psychic, he naturally had the right to know all these things.
Moreover, there is the most important point.
Exorcism is a dangerous business.
After awakening her psychic powers, whether Yukinoshita Haruno is willing or not, she will definitely encounter evil spirits even if she is far away in Chiba Prefecture.
Futaba Rio is not so selfish as to deliberately hide the method of increasing strength just because she doesn't like Haruno.
Furthermore...
Is there any difference?
Yang Nai and Ye Xing, have already...
No difference.
"Oh, that's what you said."
Although Yuigahama Yui didn't say it clearly, Yang No had already guessed what she wanted to say and raised a charming smile at the corner of her lips.
"I already knew this when I consulted Ye Xing about matters related to psychic abilities. There's no need to say it out loud."
Yukinoshita Yukino was a little curious.
"What are you talking about?"
Yang Nai rubbed her sister's head, looked at her puzzled expression, and said with a smile.
"You don't understand anything, Yukino-chan."
Futaba Rio sighed, avoided the topic and got back to business.
"In short, recruiting new members who are trustworthy and have the qualifications to awaken psychic abilities, and allowing more members to awaken their psychic abilities, can help us avoid the problem of insufficient manpower like this time."
"Speaking of psychics at this stage..."
Sakurajima Mai looked at Makinohara Shoko who was sitting there, then looked at Yuigahama Yui who had a silly look on her face, and said thoughtfully.
"According to the predictions of the tarot divination by Godmother Granny... The Hanged Man and the Grim Reaper, if these two cards represent Yui and Shoko, then both of them have awakened their psychic abilities. Could it be that the last card, the Moon, also represents someone who can awaken psychic abilities and has the qualifications to join the Super Energy Society and become our helper?"
After hearing this, the members present started discussing.
"The Moon?"
"Let me see... shaken, uneasy, confused... do we know such people around us?"
"This prediction from the Tarot cards is really too vague. To be honest, most of us here have experienced feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, and confusion, right?"
"Or, does this Moon card represent not a person, but the event we just experienced?"
“It’s hard to find the answer...”
..........
Seeing that the members had been discussing for a long time without coming up with an answer, Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Yohoshi who was sitting there and noticed that the other party did not look like he was thinking at all, but instead looked confident, as if he had already thought of someone. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
"The moon... could it be Kaguya Shinomiya?"
"Shinomiya Kaguya?"
Touma Hesa frowned slightly, and spoke slowly in front of everyone.
"Who?"
"Eh?"
Everyone looked confused, and Yuigahama Yui took the initiative to explain with a smile.
"As for that student from Shuchiin, think back to when you were competing with Fujiwara Chika in piano, she was standing next to you."
"Fujiwara Chika?"
Touma Kazusa had an expressionless look on her face and spoke with her lips slightly opened.
"Who is Fujiwara Chika? I don't know her."
Yuigahama Yui opened her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she could only shake her head helplessly.
This is Touma Kazusa.
It's pretty good that she can remember the name of every member of the Super Club.
Touma and Sa are too lazy to even remember people they don't care about.
"Shinomiya Kaguya..."
Upon hearing that Yukinoshita Yukino linked the Moon card in the Tarot Divination with Shinomiya Kaguya, Yotsuya Miko agreed.
"That Shinomiya-san is suffering from puberty syndrome. She does fit the definition of being shaken, uneasy, and confused. And obviously, her name is the same as Princess Kaguya in the myth, and can be completely linked to the Moon Card."
"Shinomiya Kaguya..."
As the number one advisor of the Super Energy Society, the moment Futaba Rio heard the name, she immediately began to think seriously and muttered.
"I heard that she is not only smart, but also the best among girls of the same age in many projects such as Kyudo, Tea Ceremony, and Sports. If such an outstanding talent can really awaken the ability of soul materialization and become a psychic, she will indeed have the qualifications to become a professional exorcist."
Yukinoshita Haruno added with a smile.
"Another point is that the Shinomiya Group's connections and financial resources can also broaden your information channels. After all, our Yukinoshita Company's home base is not in Kyoto City, but the Shinomiya Group's sphere of influence covers the entire Sakura Province."
Hearing her sister commenting on the value that Kaguya Shinomiya's family background could bring in such a familiar tone, Yukinoshita Yukino looked displeased.
