After all... Is the function of the "gate" really as I originally speculated, a bridge connecting the two worlds? Or... Before the "door" was built, the inner world did not exist at all? Futaba Rio kept thinking in her mind, but she didn't stop her actions at all. She asked the Bone Girl to set up a white bone shield next to the four ordinary people, Soichiro Yagami, Umi Kitagawa, and the Kawasaki sisters. While fighting the evil spirits, he was thinking about things in his mind. Such dual threads were not difficult at all for Rio Futaba. "interesting." Looking at the huge figure emerging in the hazy smoke, Ye Xing smiled, but did not move forward. Instead, he stepped back for a distance. It is extremely rare to see a ghost like Tamamonomae who is much smarter than humans.
Intuitively, it may be difficult to judge. But as long as we take Hachisha-sama as a comparison, the gap is obvious. The tall Hachishaku's favorite thing to do is to squat at home and drink milk after completing his daily patrol in Kyoto. Don't say it's scheming. Ever since Hachisha joined the Chaoliang Society, his brain has been in standby mode and is almost degenerating. Let’s look at Tamamonomae. She took the initiative to fight this powerful worm-like evil spirit. Did she think that Yohoshi and Futaba Rio needed her help? No. Although this worm evil spirit is full of resentment, its strength is still much weaker than that of the ten-meter-tall giant evil spirit. Tamamonomae's action had only one purpose. She wanted Ye Xing to know her true strength. Only by completing this day first, and combining the goodwill gestures from last time and this time, will it be possible to start the next step of in-depth cooperation. After the fog slowly dissipated, through the tiny gaps in the bone shield, Soichiro Yagami and others finally saw the figure of the huge monster in the fog. "Roar!!!" The giant nine-tailed fox slapped its white paws on the ground Its sharp teeth flashed with cold light, and its eyes revealed undisguised murderous intent as it stared directly at the worm spirit in front of it. “What…what is this!?” Soichiro Yagami was stunned. He originally thought that the biggest challenge the Metropolitan Police Department had to deal with was the criminal "Mask", who was elusive and even the professional police force with guns was helpless.
But now it seems... At least the other party is still a human being! Soichiro Yagami couldn't help but swear. "What the hell is this monster!?" As soon as he said this, Kawasaki Saki next to him frowned and spoke in a cold voice. "Chief Yagami, there are children here, please watch your words." "Forehead..." Staring at Kawasaki Saki's sharp eyes, Soichiro Yagami looked embarrassed and scratched his head. "Hug...sorry." In fact, Kawasaki Kyoka didn't hear what Soichiro Yagami said at all. Her attention was all on Ye Xing at this moment, and she almost forgot about her sister. So handsome. The last time Kawasaki Kyoka saw Ye Xing dressed like this, he didn't know his true identity, and Ye Xing at that time hadn't yet obtained Onimaru Kunitana. Now the new equipment looks even cooler. And there was an indescribable sense of excitement in Kawasaki Kyoka's heart. No one else present knew the big brother's true identity, only he knew it. It's simply... Wow wow wow, so exciting! "Kill you..." The huge body of the worm-like evil spirit twisted, and thousands of stacked human faces were twisted and merged together at this moment. Eyes, nose, mouth... The facial features were all squirming and squeezed together, looking disgusting. "kill me?" Although Tamamonomae revealed her true form, she still had the ability to speak. Her voice was still as gentle, but her tone was filled with disdain and contempt. "Just a monster like you?" As the words fell, Tamamonomae had already swung out her sharp claws, and her sharp nails pierced through the flesh and went straight into the disgusting head of the worm evil spirit. Her slender eyes flashed with a desire for killing and destruction. She opened her mouth, and two rows of sharp teeth that flashed with cold light bit the body of the worm spirit viciously.
Then his neck turned and a large piece of flesh was torn off, which turned into black mist and dissipated. "boom..." The huge body of the worm-spirit jumped, causing the ground to tremble. Then, meaningless whispers emanated from its thousands of mouths at the same time. The moment the whispering sounded, hundreds of slender ghost shadows exactly the same as before emerged from the underground passage. Their shapes were strange and twisted, and they rushed towards the people behind Tamamonomae at an extremely fast speed. "boom!" They crashed directly into the hard white bone shield, but seemed to feel no pain at all. They numbly repeated the action of retreating and crashing forward again. Even the hard shield made by the Bone Girl gradually began to crack under the continuous impact. Saki Kawasaki's pupils shrank slightly, and she protected her sister behind her. Through the gaps in the bone shield in front of her, she could feel those slender ghost shadows. Although they had no faces, their gazes were fixed on herself, her sister, Soichiro Yagami, and Umi Kitagawa, four ordinary humans. That twisted aura was like an evil spirit from hell, trying to drag everyone into a dark red pool of blood. "Damn it, damn it..." Looking at the increasing cracks on the white bone shield, Saki Kawasaki protected her sister behind her with one hand, gritted her teeth, and showed unwillingness in her eyes. If this continues... I won't be able to protect my sister and Kitagawa-san. "hateful..." Saki Kawasaki almost bit her teeth off. For the first time in her life, she felt so powerless. "You haven't done it yet..." Rio Futaba, who had remained motionless, watched the reactions of Umi Kitagawa and Saki Kawasaki through the gaps in the bone shield, and finally just shook her head helplessly. "Sure enough, it's not that easy to awaken." Futaba Rio was certain of one thing. What Ye Xing said, throwing people into the other world and letting them die if they don’t wake up, really doesn’t work. Facing your true self is not something that can be forced. If you don’t even know your true thoughts, how can you face them? It now seems that Umi Kitagawa and Saki Kawasaki have not yet met such conditions. "I'm going to do it, bone girl." Hearing Futaba Rio's order, the bone girl nodded slightly.
Then, she disappeared into thin air. Rio Futaba, wearing a white coat that looked like a doctor's coat, walked slowly towards the slender ghosts that were constantly crashing into the bone shields. "Bone spur." As these two words came out, dozens of sharp spikes suddenly extended from the bone shield. Those slender ghosts that were crashing into the shields directly crashed into them. After their bodies were pierced through, they turned into a light black mist and dissipated into the air. Seeing this scene, the worm evil spirit that was fighting with Tamamonomae once again made that strange sound as if thousands of people were whispering at the same time. The remaining slender ghost figure changed direction in an instant, and its target became Rio Futaba who was walking slowly towards them. Facing hundreds of slender ghost shadows composed of pure black mist, Futaba Rio just remained calm and stretched out her right hand. "Hell of bones." The moment the words fell, the ground in the passage blossomed like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, with large patches of beautiful, yet extremely sharp, cold bone spurs blooming. Not even a second had passed. Hundreds of slender ghost shadows were all destroyed. When Saki Kawasaki and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Futaba Rio did not show any surprise at all, she just murmured to herself. "too weak." These slender ghosts are too weak. It was so weak that even Futaba Rio found it strange. Not to mention putting it in the other world. Even in the real world, the power of the slender ghost is just below the standard. Although the slender ghost can kill the rescuers and the members of the Metropolitan Police Department silently. Think about it from another perspective. If we do not follow the law of "observation", any evil spirit will be a monster that ordinary people cannot resist at all. There is one more thing that Futaba Rio finds most strange. It doesn't feel right. She had no sense of killing evil spirits. There was only a strange feeling, as if an empty shell had been removed. "team leader." Hearing Futaba Rio's call, Ye Xing walked over with Onimaru Kunitsuna in one hand.
"what happened?" Futaba Rio looked at the worm spirit that was fighting with Tamamonomae. Her face under the mask looked thoughtful, and she made a habitual gesture of pushing up her glasses when she was thinking. "This thing doesn't seem to be an ordinary evil spirit." Futaba Rio spoke slowly. "These slender ghosts are not so much evil spirits loyal to it as they are tools used to hunt. They are a bit like the weapons you made with the power of evil spirits." "What!?" Seeing Ye Xing's pupils shrink in shock, just when Futaba Rio was puzzled and wondering how a demon of this level could make Ye Xing, who was always calm and composed, show such an expression, she heard the other party speak in a deep voice.
