In Baimu's vision, the world between the rain and water seemed to be divided into three areas.
The first layer is the light gold contained in the raindrops, which is the same color as that of a goat-headed god.
The second layer is covered by the rain, a wisp of black sticky mist that exudes evil, distortion, and ominous meaning.
And the third layer... is also the most obvious layer.
The pale haze stretched out into the shape of a silk thread, extending all the way forward from where everyone was standing.
"Huh...that's good."
Hearing Baime's affirmative answer, Futaba Rio breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the general direction of luring the snake out of its hole was decided by Ye Xing, the specific action plan was the responsibility of her as the staff officer.
Before the Sunny Doll Killer took the bait, Futaba Rio had already considered that the members of the Supernatural Society were unable to defeat the other party at this stage, or that the other party possessed some special ability that was enough to escape from Yosei's hands.
To this end, Futaba Rio came up with a brilliant plan, which Yexing named "Dye Ball".
She didn't know what a dye ball was. She guessed that Ye Xing was just going crazy and came up with this name randomly.
The principle of the plan is simple.
Yotsuya Miko's Hyakume has the special ability to detect and track even the smallest trace of evil spirits.
Hyakume and Yotsuya Miko were originally one and the same.
This means that if it is a breath that Yotsuya Miko is familiar with, Hundred Eyes will be able to track it more easily.
Then the problem is coming.
What is the evil spirit power that Yotsuya Miko is most familiar with and has come into contact with the most?
It’s...Ye Xing’s thing.
simply put.
Baimu was very familiar with Yexing's aura of power, and in just a few seconds of contact with the Sunny Doll Killer's body, Yexing had completed the dyeing process.
The Sunny Doll Killer also realized that something was wrong, so he acted like a gecko cutting off its tail and tore off his own arm.
It’s a pity that Ye Xing’s stain was not aimed at the body, but a mark engraved on his twisted soul.
Once caught, there is no way to escape.
"Then Yui, let's go first."
After confirming the traces left by the Sunny Doll Killer, Yotsuya Miko and others prepared to set out to give the final punishment to this murderer.
But at this moment, Yuigahama Yui suddenly gritted her teeth and ran out from under Yexing's coat.
Her long peach-pink hair, which had already been dried, was soaked again by the rain.
"Wait a moment!"
Yuigahama Yui stood there, her hands clenched silently at her sides, her eyes and expression becoming increasingly blurred in the increasingly heavy rain.
"I, I, I..."
Looking at the puzzled eyes of Yotsuya Miko, Sakurajima Mai, and Futaba Rio, and the clothes they were wearing, which were formed by the materialized power of their souls and represented their identity as psychics, Yuigahama Yui took a deep breath, and her face no longer had the usual gentle and innocent smile.
What replaced it was incomparable determination.
Yuigahama Yui looked directly at the three friends in front of her and spoke word by word.
"I... like Yexing-san."
"No matter how you look at me, no matter what you think of me, no matter how you want to compete with me..."
Yuigahama Yui clenched her fists, feeling so determined for the first time in her life.
"I don't want to lie anymore, nor will I continue to evade, nor will I give in, so..."
"Let's have a showdown!"
As Yuigahama Yui finished her words, the rain-filled scene in front of her suddenly appeared like glass, with fine cracks appearing on it.
At the same time, a woman's voice sounded in my mind.
"Have you finally come to your senses?"
"In order to maintain a false relationship, Yuigahama Yui concealed her true heart and continued to cater to others. That's the end of it."
"From now on, there will be no more lies and no more disguises."
"If you are obsessed with someone, then risk everything you have and get closer to him."
"Here, call out my true name."
Yuigahama Yui's mind was blank, she just followed her heart and spoke softly.
"Here, I will call out your true name."
"Chase your obsession, Kiyohime!"
Sakurajima Mai, Yotsuya Miko, and Futaba Rio were all stunned when they heard this.
"Is that... awakening?"
The moment Yuigahama Yui finished speaking, a tall shadow appeared behind her under the reflection of the rain.
The upper body is that of a beautiful woman.
The lower body is like a python.
"Ah, has it finally come to this time?"
The moment Qingji appeared, she cast her gaze towards Yexing who was standing there, with a strong obsession and admiration in her eyes.
"My master~"
"Huh...huh..."
Yuigahama Yui, who demonstrated her ability to materialize her soul for the first time, was obviously suffering from the same physical and mental fatigue as Yotsuya Miko and others.
Even so, she clenched her fists and muttered to herself.
"Finally... I have become..."
Yuigahama Yui raised her head and first glanced at Yexing who was standing there, her eyes were very gentle.
Then she looked directly at Sakurajima Mai, Futaba Rio, and Yotsuya Miko in front of her, but her eyes and expression became extremely firm again, and she spoke slowly.
"Mai-senpai, Miko, and Rio-chan, let's use our soul-materialized real bodies to decide the outcome!"
To Yuigahama Yui's surprise, when Sakurajima Mai, Yotsuya Miko, and Futaba Rio heard this, they just looked at each other, then sighed and said in unison.
"What's the winner?"
This is something Yuigahama Yui couldn't handle, she said blankly.
"Um... the right to be with Yexing?"
Hearing this, Futaba Rio's eyes beneath the mask revealed a genuine speechless look. She slowly walked forward, patted Yuigahama Yui's shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
"Tuanzi, which version are you still in?"
"Eh?"
Yuigahama Yui was puzzled.
"I...I confessed my love to Yexing, don't you have anything to say?"
Sakurajima Mai also sighed, walked slowly forward, held Yuigahama Yui's hand, and spoke softly.
"Tuanzi, this isn't a matter of life and death. Since we are all companions shouldering the responsibility of saving Kyoto City and even the world, there are some things... you should understand, right?"
Yuigahama Yui shook her head in a silly manner.
"I don't understand, Mai-senpai."
Mai Sakurajima sighed slightly, still maintaining a gentle and appropriate tone.
"Anyway, let's deal with the murderer first, and we can discuss the rest together, okay?"
"That's...okay."
Although Yuigahama Yui didn't quite understand the current situation, she was obviously very clear about it.
Compared to the emotional disputes between members, catching the serial killer is the most important thing.
........
Half an hour later, outside Suga's editing studio.
Although the name is very impressive, due to economic conditions, this studio is actually a semi-basement.
Natsumi Suga sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard and writing today's document.
Her uncle, the owner of the Suga Editing Studio, ran out to buy beer even though it was raining heavily outside because he was craving for alcohol.
"Dingling bell~~~"
Listening to the continuous ringing of the phone, Suga Natsumi frowned slightly and muttered to herself impatiently.
"Really? It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, and they are still making calls. Don't these people know about rest time?"
Although she said this, Suga Natsumi's thoughts had been interrupted. She could only shake her head helplessly, walked over to answer the phone, and spoke in a stiff tone.
"Suga Editing Studio, what can I do for you?"
The words coming from the other end of the phone made Suga Natsumi stunned for a moment.
"I'm Soichiro Yagami, the chief of the Criminal Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Director of the Criminal Division? Are you calling..."
"No time to talk! All of you in the studio must leave immediately. We have information that a dangerous person may appear. The Metropolitan Police Department is on the way."
"A dangerous person...?"
Suga Natsumi was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips nervously, and nodded.
"I see!"
Before she hung up the phone, she suddenly heard a loud banging sound coming from the door of the studio, and her pupils shrank in shock.
"Wait...wait a minute, this...this is..."
"Hello? Miss, are you okay?"
Seeing that Natsumi Suga on the other side did not respond, and hearing the bursts of impact noises coming from the receiver, Soichiro Yagami gritted his teeth and slammed the steering wheel heavily.
"hateful!"
After receiving the notification from Kyoto TV, Soichiro Yagami did not hesitate at all and immediately went out with his subordinates from the Criminal Bureau.
Moreover, because this incident involved the involvement of "Mask" and was suspected to be a supernatural event, he also specially mobilized the riot control mobile force.
Although Soichiro Yagami acted promptly, it still wasted a lot of time because of the heavy rain today, which caused water accumulation in many places on the road and made it impossible for vehicles to pass.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Soichiro Yagami cursed a few words, gritted his teeth, picked up the intercom and spoke.
"Everyone, put on your police lights, drive at full speed, and get to the scene as soon as possible!"
Finally, the Sunny Doll Killer is right in front of us.
Soichiro Yagami, who has a strong sense of justice, absolutely does not want to see anyone else die at the hands of the other party.
As the car driven by Soichirō Yagami sped away, the voices of other Metropolitan Police Department members were heard over the intercom.
"Director Ye Shen, there is too much water on the road ahead and it is impassable. Let's take a detour..."
"Go away!"
Looking at the water accumulated by rain a few dozen meters away, which was half a meter deep like a river, Soichiro Yagami not only did not slow down, but instead stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
"You guys take a detour, I'll rush over first!"
Soichiro Yagami prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this police car could stand up a little.
.......
On the other side, the members of the Chaoliangshe team were riding on a huge pale ghost hand and flying towards the direction of Suga's editing studio.
“No matter how many times I sit here, I still feel a little uncomfortable...”
