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

"Is it because you want to do some things in the real world without causing you any disturbance?"

"Yes."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

"But this is not the essence; it is merely a phenomenon."

"The reason why I'm trapped in the Otherworld is actually quite simple."

"because..."

At this point, under Tamamo-no-Mae's shocked gaze, Yoru-hoshi opened the window and jumped from the sixth or seventh floor, leaving behind only a soft whisper.

"They are afraid of me."

After leaping out of the window, Ye Xing covered his face with his left hand and spoke softly.

"All evil will be eradicated, and the eight million will be finished."

Dark flames burned, covering his body.

The moment Night Star landed on the ground, he had already completed his transformation.

Beneath the pure black mask were eyes devoid of any emotion, as calm as a still lake, without a single ripple.

"Is it you...?"

To Tamamo-no-Mae's surprise, after Yoru-sei landed in an extremely cool, superhero-like manner, Hashihime, whose long hair was dripping with water and whose face was obscured, suddenly spoke.

"You... are the monster that the master ordered to be killed."

"Before saying such a thing..."

Yoruichi drew Onimaru Kunitsuna from his waist with one hand, brandished the black blade, and looked at Nodera-bo, Taka-onna, Hashi-hime, and Inugami, the four powerful evil spirits in front of him, and chuckled as he spoke.

"Take a look in the mirror first. Don't you know what kind of idiot you look like?"

silence.

Humiliation, the ultimate humiliation.

Tamamo-no-Mae hadn't expected that, under such circumstances, Yoru-no-Shi would actually provoke the other party.

But this is not the end.

Ye Xing glanced at the four evil spirits in front of him, then fixed his gaze on the tall, unusually large female evil spirit, and spoke with a smile.

"You're so tall, no wonder no one wants to marry you."

Compared to the previous statement, this one is not as offensive; at most, it's a sarcastic remark.

Upon hearing this, Gao Nu's previously calm face suddenly twisted into a ferocious and distorted expression, her eyes radiating intense, manic killing intent as she roared hoarsely.

"Kill you!!!"

Before the other three evil spirits could stop her, the tall woman seemed to have gone mad. Her tall body, on all fours, pounced on Ye Xing, who was standing there, like a wild beast.

Ye Xing, who had been standing there with a contemptuous smile in her eyes, instantly changed to an indifferent look without any emotional fluctuation, and said softly.

"Knew it."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from Gao Nu's sight.

Before the latter could react, he felt his back being pierced through.

"Ding!"

With one hand, Ye Xing reversed the tip of Onimaru Kunitsuna's blade, piercing it directly through the tall woman's body. The force was so terrifying that the tip of Onimaru Kunitsuna's blade was embedded in the hard ground, effectively pinning the tall evil spirit in front of him to the ground.

If Hachiko were here and saw this scene, he would probably suffer from PTSD.

"That's true..."

Watching Ye Xing step on the tall woman's head with one foot, crushing and deforming it bit by bit amidst the woman's roars and howls, like stomping on a watermelon, Tamamo-no-Mae was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and muttered to herself.

"So that's how it is... So that's what happened!"

At first, Tamamo-no-Mae thought that Yohoshi's taunts were simply due to her personality; she felt she had to humiliate evil spirits to feel satisfied.

Now she realized that she was so wrong; she had underestimated this professional exorcist.

The so-called "tall women," like Tamamo-no-Mae and Hachisakani no Daijin, are conceptual evil spirits born from people's fear of legends and stories, which converge in the underworld.

All of humanity's negative emotions will enhance the power of this existence.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why evil spirits in the other world are far more powerful than those in the real world.

However, there is a fatal weakness that evil spirits in the real world do not possess.

That is a predictable personality and behavior.

In the legends of the Cherry Blossom Province, "tall women" are terrifying demons who were unable to marry in life because of their excessive height, and who died with resentment.

This creature, though not a real "tall woman," is an evil spirit born from people's negative impressions of the concept of "tall woman."

This means that Ye Xing's words were, for the tall girl who always considered her height a sore point, the most vicious mockery in the world.

Judging from the way these four evil spirits acted, they did not immediately attack Night Star, who was human, and they also knew how to draw power from the black mist.

This indicates that, like Tamamo-no-Mae, they possess intelligence on par with humans, making them even more difficult to deal with in battle.

But now, under Ye Xing's taunt, Gao Nu lost her composure and became the first to be eliminated.

This is a true master of verbal persuasion.

Just as Tamamo-no-Mae was thinking this, she saw another change taking place in the arena.

The tall woman, whose head had been crushed into dust, was thrown backwards as if being dragged into the black mist.

And after a few seconds...

The tall woman emerged unharmed from the black mist.

"Can he be resurrected!?"

"Can he be resurrected!?"

Tamamo-no-Mae and Yohoshi spoke in unison, saying the same words, but their tones were completely different.

Tamamo-no-Mae's voice was filled with disbelief, shock, and panic.

The evil spirits that had originally turned into black smoke and dissipated actually revived after returning to the black mist.

In other words, the four evil spirits in front of them—Noderabo, Takajo, Hashihime, and Inugami—who were already very powerful, now have the black mist as a source of energy.

Night Star has to fight against more than just these four evil spirits.

Rather, this thick black fog is composed of the negative emotions of all the people in Kyoto.

How can we win like this?!

But Ye Xing's voice was filled with surprise and the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Good heavens, it can be resurrected?

If you catch one, you'll have to eat it for the rest of your life, right?

A picture had already appeared in Ye Xing's mind.

He first compressed the four evil spirits into the shape of balls and had Tamamo-no-Mae keep them safe.

In future exorcism missions in the underworld, I would carry Onimaru Kunitsuna in one hand and a dumpling in the other. Whenever my strength was slightly depleted, I would take a bite of the dumpling to replenish it.

This is simply an inexhaustible source of delicious supplements!

Noticing the way Yoru was scrutinizing them, the four evil spirits opposite—Nodera-bo, Taka-onna, Hashi-hime, and Inugami—felt a chill and even instinctively wanted to back away.

What Hashihime just said was neither a lie nor a taunt.

In the eyes of these evil spirits...

Night Star is indeed a monster.

Moreover, it is an extremely terrifying, ruthless monster that has devoured tens of thousands of evil spirits and shows no mercy or compassion.

If it weren't for the black mist providing support, these four wouldn't have been able to challenge Night Star...

That's practically like food delivery to your door.

"Very good, very interesting."

Night Star nodded in satisfaction. His right arm merged with the pale ghost hand, and the smile in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a madness that yearned for something.

"Delaying my time?"

Night Star walked slowly forward, the manic joy in his eyes instilling a deep fear in the four evil spirits opposite him.

"The resurgence of the Black Mist is not a good thing for you."

"This means that you should be prepared to die countless times and be slowly devoured by me countless times in the time to come."

.........

Meanwhile, in the real world, inside a power station on the outskirts of Kyoto.

"Sniper, observe the situation."

Wearing a bulletproof vest, Soichiro Yagami held a pistol in his right hand and a police walkie-talkie in his left, and said in a low voice.

He was surrounded by a heavily armed squad of more than twenty men, each armed with shotguns and semi-automatic rifles.

And there were Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba, who concealed their true identities and silently followed without uttering a word.

After waiting for a few seconds, Yagami Souichirou frowned slightly when he saw that there was no reply from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Sniper, report your observations."

There was still a deathly silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie. After a long while, accompanied by a noisy electrical hum, a terrifying voice, faint yet distinct, came through, causing Soichiro Yagami's expression to change drastically.

"You...can all see it..."

After those words were spoken, the communication was cut off, and there was only silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"call..."

Soichiro Yagami sighed heavily, gritted his teeth, pointed to the main gate of the power station, and said in a deep voice.

"keep going."
