"Click."
Light Yagami picked up a gun from the ground, pulled the bolt, and there was a crisp sound.
Together with Ye Xing, he ignored the stairs leading to the second and third floors and walked straight to the end of the corridor.
There, was a locked, rusty iron door.
Old buildings like this, which were originally used to build shops or renovated into apartments for rent, will basically have a small basement built privately by the property owners.
This kind of thing is really hard to deal with.
As long as you hire a qualified professional construction team and ensure that the load-bearing structure of the ground will not be damaged, just turn a blind eye.
And at this time.
As psychics, Light Yagami and Ye Xing could both sense a twisted, disgusting stench from inside the rusty iron door, like blood that had been solidified for days.
What they saw, the wisps of black mist emanating from the gaps, further confirmed their speculation.
Behind this door, in the basement of this building...
There is one, or more, powerful evil spirits whose strength is even above the average level of the other world.
That's right.
The power gap between the evil spirits in the inner and outer worlds is so huge.
In the inner world, evil spirits whose strength is only at the middle and lower levels, when they arrive in the outer world's Kyoto City, combined with a "door" that originally had a C-level danger level, can instantly increase the danger level of the surrounding area to above A-level.
After all, the other world is the home of evil spirits and a dead zone that normal humans are absolutely not allowed to set foot in.
Of course, there is now another nickname.
Kyoto's No. 1 Exorcist's All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.
"Ito-kun, we..."
Before Light Yagami could finish his words, Ye Xing's entire right arm, hidden under his coat and gloves, turned into a pale ghost hand.
Then, he made a move that Light Yagami had not expected and was completely unable to react to.
"boom!"
Ye Xing threw a punch, and the iron door in front of him fell down.
Before Light Yagami could see clearly, he felt his feet suddenly leave the ground.
"Let's go."
Ye Xing simply grabbed the back of Yagami Light's collar with one hand, and threw him into the door as if he was grabbing a kitten's neck.
Then, he put his five fingers into the iron door, lifted it up, and with an extremely rough movement, he pushed the iron door back forcefully, blocking the entrance again.
Light Yagami lay on the ground in a mess, feeling dizzy.
He struggled to get up and looked at the iron door behind him that had been deformed but was still embedded in the wall, blocking the entrance. He shook his head with a dumb smile.
"Isn't it... necessary?"
Hearing Light Yagami's wry smile, Ye Xing's tone sounded as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
"Come on, Yagami-san, don't die."
Light Yagami sighed helplessly, holding his forehead and muttering to himself.
"This guy's character... is really bad."
He understood the meaning of the other party's action.
He just wanted to see if he could, by himself, get rid of the evil spirits that were doing evil in the surface world.
Light Yagami also understood this truth.
It is not difficult at all to kill someone using the ability of soul materialization.
The real test of strength comes from the battle with evil spirits.
Only those who can defeat evil spirits can be considered qualified psychics.
This happens to be the area that Light Yagami is not very good at.
In his exploration of the application of the soul's ability to materialize, he had gone a little astray.
Light Yagami took a deep breath, put his nervousness behind him, and walked straight down the unlit stairs in front of him.
The stairs were not very long and had no corners. After just two steps, I arrived at the basement of the building.
But the scene that came into Light Yagami's eyes was so shocking that his pupils shrank.
In the old basement where the lights were flickering, there was a "thing" that was constantly busy.
It was called a "thing" because Light Yagami could not think of any other word to refer to the existence in front of him.
It was like the bodies of a dozen adult men glued together with 502 glue.
And that’s not all.
Certain parts of their bodies were combined together to form a huge mass of flesh.
All that was left was the arm with the expensive watch waving in the air, and the face vaguely visible above the mass of flesh.
The Black Dragon Society's unified tattoo pattern, due to the fusion of flesh, overlaps in some places, forming a strange pattern like a talisman.
And the dozen or so arms of "Thing" were never idle.
Some of them were piecing together various parts on the table into guns with extremely skillful movements.
The other part is mixing various chemical raw materials on another table.
After entering the building, the doubts that had always been in Light Yagami's mind were finally answered.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation, the Black Dragon Society has approximately thirty members.
But he had just killed only fourteen people.
It turns out that the remaining members have become like this.
At this time, Light Yagami's eyes swept over and saw a transparent bag placed in the corner of the basement, which contained a light blue crystalline object.
“Is this what they call hallucinogens…?”
When he saw the bag, Light Yagami's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.
If we talk about the things he hates most in this world, poison, if not the first, would at least be in the top three.
Decay, depravity, sin.
All the words that Light Yagami hated were directed at this disgusting thing.
"Die."
The blood and tears pattern on his white mask had become larger and larger, almost dyeing the entire mask red.
The shape of the mask also changed from the same style as Yexing's at the beginning to one with a sharp nose extending out, which is similar to his true soul, Emperor Sutoku, and has an appearance similar to the monster Daitengu in the legend.
"Emperor Sutoku!"
As Light Yagami finished his words, his true soul form, Emperor Sutoku, appeared again, letting out an eardrum-piercing roar, and rushed towards the mass of flesh with arms.
At the same time, Light Yagami himself was not idle either.
He pointed the gun at the monster formed by the fusion of more than a dozen humans and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"boom!"
Accompanied by the sound of a gunshot and a dazzling flash of fire, the first bullet from the gun accurately hit one of the arms of the meat ball.
But what Light Yagami didn't expect was that the other party did not stop.
The hole in the arm caused by the bullet did not bleed, but only emitted wisps of black gas, and then healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What is this!?"
This can be seen from Light Yagami's surprise at this moment.
He is a psychic, but not a qualified exorcist.
If Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio were here, they would be able to immediately tell from the appearance of this meat ball that it was a monster that had completely merged with humans, just like the long-tongued man they met last time.
The long-tongued man has only merged with a human, but he is already so difficult to deal with.
This mass of flesh is the fusion of more than a dozen humans, how could it be easy to deal with it?
It’s a pity that Light Yagami’s experience in dealing with evil spirits is close to zero.
The only thing he could do now was to let his Emperor Sutoku launch an attack and pierce the two sharp claws emitting black energy into the body of the flesh ball.
"Well..."
The moment Emperor Sutoku's claws pierced into the body, the flesh seemed to finally feel the pain.
It was hurt.
But not much.
Then, amidst a dull whimper, the two arms on the meat ball suddenly stretched out like rubber strings and directly grabbed Emperor Sutoku's shoulders.
Under Light Yagami's horrified gaze, the muscles on its two arms bulged, tearing the tall Emperor Sutoku right in half.
"What the hell is this..."
Even Light Yagami was shocked.
How could his true soul, Emperor Sutoku, be destroyed so easily in front of the other party?
What kind of monster is this! ?
Before Light Yagami had time to think more, a strong feeling of dizziness and weakness surged into his mind and body.
This is the backlash caused to the psychic after the true soul is destroyed.
"Damn... Damn..."
Light Yagami clenched his teeth, and the mask on his face had turned pure red, and its shape became exactly the same as that of Daitengu.
He couldn't accept this fact.
Light Yagami appears gentle and kind.
In fact, he is an extremely arrogant person.
Facing the powerlessness of the evil spirit at this moment, he could not accept the fact that he was so weak.
Do you want to ask Ito-kun for help?
No.
Light Yagami shook his head, took a deep breath, and a look almost like madness appeared in his eyes.
If you do that, wouldn't it be the same as telling the other person that you can't do anything?
Light Yagami's self-esteem wouldn't allow him to do that.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of some extremely eye-catching objects on the long table where the guns were placed.
grenade.
When seeing this thing, a look of fanaticism suddenly appeared in Light Yagami's eyes.
"Release your resentment, Emperor Sutoku!"
This time, he no longer whispered softly, but with a ferocious tone, and despite the dizziness in his brain and the weakness in his body, he summoned Emperor Sutoku again.
At the same time that Emperor Sutoku rushed towards the flesh-like evil spirit again, Light Yagami rushed straight to the side of the long table.
This process took less than two seconds.
Feeling an even stronger sense of weakness and dizziness, Light Yagami felt like he was about to faint on the ground.
He knew that his Emperor Sutoku had been eliminated for the second time.
And judging from his physical condition, he did not have enough strength to make a third summon.
This bloody fact did not worry Light Yagami.
He turned around slowly, staring directly at the lump of flesh that was waving a dozen arms like an evil god, and a twisted smile appeared at the corner of his mouth under the mask.
"clang."
