"Eh? Is your birthday today?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
"Why don't I remember it..."
"Just think of it as a birthday present for me."
Hiratsuka Shizuka thought that Ye Xing was acting coquettishly towards her, and she felt inexplicably happy in her heart. She thought that with the other person's personality, he would actually be like this, like a child, and the corners of her lips curled up.
"What do you want for your birthday?"
"Please give me your hotel room number, thank you."
"what?"
Hearing these words, Hiratsuka Shizuka's pupils began to tremble and her face showed panic.
"Um...Um...You want my hotel room number, w...why?"
Ye Xing looked righteous.
"When I'm bored at night, I'll go play with you."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's face flushed red.
Play?
playing what?
She didn’t even dare to think about what Ye Xing meant by “play”.
Hiratsuka Shizuka's body moves faster than her brain.
"2...2806..."
"OK."
Ye Xing patted Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder and smiled.
"I'll contact you then. Bye, Xiaojing."
It was not until the figures of Kawasaki Saki and Ye Xing gradually disappeared from the sight that Hiratsuka Shizuka reacted and said in a daze.
"Hey...wait a minute...I didn't even have time to ask, what is the relationship between these two people..."
.......
On the other side, after walking through the commercial pedestrian street, Saki Kawasaki stroked the necklace on her collarbone, looked at Ye Xing beside her, and asked curiously.
"Any findings?"
"more or less."
Ye Xing said in a calm tone.
"The degree to which the 'door' is open has reached almost 90 percent."
"Eh? So fast!?"
Saki Kawasaki heard about it from Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya.
The so-called "door" is the passage connecting the real world and the other world.
Once the opening degree reaches more than 75%, the surrounding areas will begin to be affected.
If the number of doors reaches more than 80% like the "door" in the unfinished building, then the area of the real world will merge with the inner world.
A remote and deserted place like an unfinished building, if integrated with the inner world, can only be described as a dangerous den of hell where anyone entering will die.
But if this commercial pedestrian street in Shibuya merges with the other world, allowing evil spirits to ignore the premise of "observation" and slaughter humans at will...
Saki Kawasaki turned around and looked at the bustling and laughing people in front of her, but what emerged in her mind was a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
At that time...
This is hell.
181 An unprecedentedly powerful evil spirit, the red thread connecting everyone
After strolling around, Yexing and Kawasaki Saki returned to their hotel room. It was almost noon when they met up with the rest of the members.
Surprisingly, when they entered the room, Touma Kazusa had already gotten up and was waiting in Yohoshi's room with Futaba Rio and the others.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the necklace on her neck, Saki Kawasaki blushed. She was about to say something, but she looked around the room and asked in confusion.
"Where's Yui?"
"She went out shopping with Umi and Yukinoshita-san. She will find time to meet up with us in the afternoon."
"Eh? Why not let..."
Saki Kawasaki originally wanted to say, why not let Kitagawa Umune and Yukinoshita Yukino, the only two members who didn't know about the situation, go out together, and why did they have to bring Yuigahama Yui along.
But after thinking about it, she understood the reason.
Kitagawa Umi has a very cheerful personality...
But she alone cannot withstand Yukinoshita Yukino.
It can be predicted that if Yukinoshita Yukino and Kitagawa Umi go out alone, Yukinoshita Yukino will probably only say two words along the way.
"Ah."
"boring."
Who can stand this?
Only someone as outgoing as Yuigahama Yui can withstand the cold aura of Yukinoshita Yukino.
Didn't you see that in the entire club, Yukinoshita Yukino only calls Yuigahama Yui by her name?
I am naturally resistant to tsundere, and the ancients were right.
"What intelligence have you gathered?"
Noticing the frivolous smile on Yexing's face, Futaba Rio secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the other person is relaxed, the situation should not be serious...
"The situation is much more serious than we expected."
Hearing these words, Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai, Yotsuya Miko, and Amano Haruna all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Touma Kazusa still looked calm, but spoke in a calm tone.
"So...will you be in danger?"
Ye Xing smiled and said without comment.
"Who knows? Exorcism is inherently risky. Even for me, it should be the same."
Touma Kazusa's eyes flashed, and she uttered something shocking in the surprised eyes of the other members.
"Then don't go. Anyway, people are dying every moment in this world."
Touma Kazusa is not the type of person who is indifferent to human life. After all, she just doesn't know how to express her feelings due to her family environment, not that she has no feelings.
It’s just that compared to someone she doesn’t know, she values Ye Xing’s safety more.
Even if hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of lives are piled on the other side of the scale...
Touma Kazusa would also choose the side where Yohoshi's life is without hesitation.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Yexing bent down slightly, got closer to Touma Kazusa's face, looked directly into the other's eyes, and said with a smile.
"Just like you like playing the piano, I also like to exterminate evil spirits, so I still have to do it."
"Oh well."
Touma and Sa showed some worry between their brows, but still nodded.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
After comforting Touma and Sa, Yexing looked at Sakurajima Mai and others and spoke slowly.
"The existence of a 'gate' has been confirmed in the center of Shibuya Shopping Street."
"The opening rate of the 'door' has increased to nearly 90% in just a few days. It is indeed as we speculated. This is not a naturally generated 'door', but an evil spirit is secretly supplying power to this 'door'."
Futaba Rio took off her glasses, rubbed her eyebrows, and said worriedly.
"But...there haven't been any large-scale casualties in the area near the commercial street..."
"Well, that's what I was going to explain."
Ye Xing took out his cell phone and opened the email sent by Yagami Light.
"According to the information from Light Yagami, if we search for large-scale casualties near Shibuya Pedestrian Street, there really is not a single one."
"But according to the Metropolitan Police Department's internal network statistics, the accidental death and suicide rates near Shibuya Pedestrian Street have been rising at an unnatural and extremely rapid rate over the past 20 days."
"The growth curve of this type of event has far exceeded the normal fluctuation range of the curve."
"It can be confirmed with a high probability that this is a strange incident."
After saying this, Ye Xing shook his phone and chuckled as he looked at Futaba Rio and others who looked surprised and hesitant to speak.
"After all, this is the information age. We are modern exorcists and we need to make rational use of big data."
Futaba Rio sighed slightly, with mixed emotions in her heart.
As the number one advisor to the Chaoliang Society, these are things I should have considered in advance.
Everyone has heard of Yagami in Yagami Light, a very rare surname, and vaguely guessed the relationship between the brown-haired boy and Soichiro Yagami, the chief of the Criminal Bureau of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.
Why didn't I consider using the information from the Metropolitan Police Department in advance?
Or maybe my thinking is too limited. I always feel that things like exorcism cannot be connected to the internal network of the Metropolitan Police Department.
This time the evil spirit was very cunning, and even used the method of breaking up into small pieces to try to avoid alerting humans.
Unfortunately.
Times have changed, and it’s not traditional exorcism anymore.
There is technology.
Then, Ye Xing pulled up the map on his phone and marked the area within three kilometers of the commercial pedestrian street.
"According to the Metropolitan Police Department's incident summary report, this area is an area with abnormally high accidental deaths and suicide rates."
Having said that, Ye Xing paused slightly and said something that made Yotsuya Kenko and others change their expressions.
"There are at least two 'doors' in this area, and perhaps more."
“Two doors!?”
Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other. As psychics, the three women all realized the seriousness of the problem.
This never happened when I was in Kyoto.
Generally speaking, there is only one "door" within a five-kilometer area.
After all, most evil spirits are simple-minded beings.
Not only do they harbor malicious intent toward humans, but overly powerful evil spirits will even devour other of their kind to increase their own strength.
This is the same as the saying that there can't be two tigers in one mountain.
It's like a powerful evil spirit that will attack.
The "door" that can enhance power and has a great attraction to evil spirits will also produce a repulsive effect on each other.
Or they can merge into one.
Or, it will explode directly.
These are the exact information that Futaba Rio obtained by questioning the great demon Tamamonomae in the other world.
In such a close area, there are two or even more "doors"...
Or, this area has gathered a lot of negative impressions from people, resulting in the continuous emergence of "doors" at a speed beyond imagination.
However, the area around Shibuya Commercial Pedestrian Street is a very prosperous and popular area, and it is not a gloomy and scary place that makes people shudder.
