In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

It gives people a feeling of deathly stillness.

"Very strong."

Not only Miko Yotsuya and Mai Sakurajima, but also Rio Futaba and Yui Yuigahama noticed this sudden change.

"It's...it's...it's all over..."

Hearing the terrified voice behind her, Mai Sakurajima turned around and saw that Menma, who had just been laughing happily, now had two lines of tears streaming down her face and looked extremely frightened.

"What's wrong? Don't be afraid, we're here..."

"No, Mai-neechan, you must go..."

Menma's eyes were filled with terror, her small body curled up into a ball, and she was trembling incessantly.

"This guy... is... is terrifying."

Just as Menma finished speaking, the members who had awakened their soul materialization abilities, who were inside the carriage, simultaneously heard a strange sound coming from the front of the carriage.

"Sizzle... sizzle...."

It felt like a metal object being dragged across the ground, making your teeth ache.

Sakurajima Mai and the others looked up and saw a strange man, nearly two meters tall, with a very burly build, wearing tattered black clothes, with thick black mist emanating from his body, holding a huge axe in his right hand and a burlap bundle in his left, his face wrapped in bandages, walking step by step into the carriage.

The moment Yotsuya Miko, who had the most experience in exorcism, saw this guy, she made a judgment, and her golden pupils shrank slightly in surprise.

"This guy... is on a completely different level from the evil spirits I've seen before..."

177 A unique evil spirit with a very chewy texture arrives in Tokyo.

The bandaged man's gaze swept back and forth across the carriage, finally settling on Menma, who sat behind Sakurajima Mai and Yotsuya Miko, looking terrified.

It held a huge, blood-stained axe in its right hand, and its tall body exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.

"This guy..."

Yotsuya Miko clenched her teeth, her golden pupils revealing a look of formidable fear.

Since she awakened her Yin-Yang Eyes, she had never seen such a powerful evil spirit as this bandaged monster, whose oppressive aura was so strong that it was almost suffocating.

What should I do?

Miko Yotsuya and Mai Sakurajima exchanged a glance, then both looked at Rio Futaba, who was sitting to their right.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…”

Amidst the sound of the massive axe scraping against the ground and the heavy footsteps, Rio Futaba watched as the tall, burly, bandaged monster gradually approached their seats. Her mind raced, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

How to do?

Do you summon your true soul form here and transform?

The problem is that Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaimu Kitagawa, who are not members of the inner circle, are sitting there.

Moreover, the space inside the carriage is far too cramped.

If you were to fight such a powerful evil spirit, there would be absolutely no room for holding back; it would be far too easy for the surrounding area to be affected.

That...

Rio Futaba glanced at Menma, who was trembling and whose little face was filled with terror.

Should we pretend not to see it and sacrifice the other person?

不 ...

Rio Futaba absolutely did not want to see a weak and helpless little girl die in front of her.

Even if this little girl is just a lost soul.

Just as she was lightly biting her lip, her hand already on the frame of her glasses, preparing to take them off, right in front of Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaimu Kitagawa, as she transformed into her "Quantum" disguise for an exorcism, she suddenly heard Yohoshi's voice.

"Kitagawa-san, can I step out for a moment?"

"Eh? Okay."

When Ye Xing left her seat and stood in the aisle between the two seats, she found herself face to face with the bandaged monster who was slowly walking towards the crowd.

Seeing him and the bandaged monster locked in a standoff, both slowly moving toward each other, the hearts of the four psychic beings—Rio Futaba, Mai Sakurajima, Yui Yuigahama, and Miko Yotsuya—were in their throats.

Is it here?

Is now?

In front of the unsuspecting Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaimu Kitagawa, and in front of the surveillance cameras inside the Shinkansen car, will she transform into "Mask"?

Under the tense gaze of Rio Futaba and the others, Yosei appeared to be completely invisible as she passed straight through the bandaged monster's body.

Just by looking at it, it looks just like an ordinary human who cannot detect evil spirits, without the slightest flaw.

Yotsuya was startled and secretly admired her.

What superb acting skills!

While Yotsuya Miko could manage to remain calm when facing evil spirits, it was still difficult for her to actively approach them or even pass directly through their bodies.

This goes beyond just being daring.

Ye Xing didn't feel there was anything to be afraid of at all.

The bandaged monster paused, seemingly unsure of what had just happened—the human who had passed through its body.

However, it soon continued walking forward on its own, arriving at a place less than three meters away from Menma.

The bandaged monster stared at the petite Menma, its single eye devoid of any emotion. It silently raised its right hand, the black mist around it thickening, preparing to unleash a powerful axe strike to cleave the wandering soul before it into...

Wait a moment.

When he made this move, the bandaged monster suddenly froze.

It glanced at its right hand.

It was empty; there was nothing there.

I glanced at my left hand again.

It was empty, with absolutely nothing there.

"Um...?"

The bandaged man squeezed out a hoarse, questioning voice from his throat.

It slowly turned around and saw that the human male who had just passed straight through its body had somehow stolen its axe and burlap bundle!

The bandaged man didn't even realize that his weapon had been stolen.

What a swift and stealthy move!

It's almost like...

Seeing Yoruichi deliberately standing at the front of the carriage, holding the bandaged monster's weapon and bundle, waiting for the other party to take the bait with a smile on his face, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"So the skill of unhooking a bra with one hand... can come in handy in a situation like this."

When the bandaged monster saw Ye Xing holding his weapons and bundle, still looking arrogant and defiant, blood vessels instantly shot out from his single eye, and he roared hoarsely.

"You...can see!"

Ye Xing darted into the restroom inside the passageway connecting the two carriages.

"Clap."

With a crisp sound, he locked the bathroom door from the inside.

The bandaged man quickly ran over, staring at the bathroom door that was in use, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Does this human think that locking the door will keep him safe?

I am an evil spirit, capable of passing through walls!

The bandaged monster revealed a sinister smile, and instead of passing directly through the wall in front of it, it first stuck its head forward.

It wanted to slowly and painstakingly make this human who had offended it feel unimaginable terror before he died!

When the bandaged monster's head completely pierced through the bathroom door, what it saw was not a terrified, trembling human face.

Instead, it was a pure black mask formed from burning, pitch-black flames.

The bandaged man froze, instinctively trying to pull his head away.

But the next second, a pale ghostly hand with sharp, black nails gripped its head tightly with its five fingers.

"Want to escape?"

"Come in you."

Mai Sakurajima and the others could clearly see that less than two seconds after the bandaged monster poked his head into the bathroom door, his tall and burly body suddenly began to twist violently, as if he were struggling for something.

But it was all in vain.

Like a duck swimming calmly on the water, it was suddenly bitten by a crocodile lurking in the water, and its body was forcibly dragged into the bathroom.

Next...

There was only a deathly silence.

There was no sound of impact, nor any seepage of blood.

There was only suffocating silence.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Wow~"

"Clap."

With the sound of flushing water, and the soft click of the bathroom latch being opened, Ye Xing emerged from the bathroom, acting as if nothing had happened, and returned to the carriage.

Rio Futaba tugged at Yohoshi's sleeve and whispered.

"How about it?"

"How about what?"
