Futaba Rio frowned slightly and looked at Sakurajima Mai beside her. Both women had a bad feeling in their hearts.
If the entire city of Kyoto were to suffer a power outage tonight, leaving most citizens in darkness with their cell phone communications cut off, they would feel panic and fear without any evil spirits having to intervene.
But as long as the lighting is restored, even if no other electrical appliances can be used, people's negative emotions will be greatly alleviated in the light.
After all, the fear of darkness is ingrained in human blood.
Futaba Rio thought from another perspective. If she were the mastermind behind this attack, she would have done her best to complete her plan of causing panic in Kyoto City while Ye Xing was trapped in the other world, that is, before the time when everyone met at five o'clock tomorrow.
Futaba Rio didn't know how Yexing was trapped in the other world, but she was sure that he was not someone who would be easily fooled. Although he was usually very abstract, he was always 120% cautious when exorcising demons.
Once Ye Xing left the inner world, Futaba Rio could imagine what he would do.
Clean up Kyoto City thoroughly. Even the earthworm ghosts will be cut vertically, and the egg ghosts will have their yolks shaken out.
If all it takes is a power station to restore Kyoto's lighting, why isn't there even a single evil spirit here?
This is totally inconsistent with the cunning shown by the other party.
Even if the mastermind behind this did not have the courage to confront himself and Sakurajima Mai head-on in this power station, why did he want to kill the sniper of the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Operations Force?
Isn't it to prevent his group from monitoring the situation inside the power station at any time and gain the advantage of terrain?
"Wait a moment..."
Just as Futaba Rio was thinking hard, Sakurajima Mai suddenly reminded her.
"Killing the sniper from the Metropolitan Police Department may not be an attempt to set an ambush for us, but rather to prevent us from knowing... that something originally hidden in the power station... has left?"
"leave?"
When Futaba Rio heard this, her eyes suddenly changed, and she switched the intercom in her hand to the exclusive communication channel where only herself, Yagami Soichiro, Sakurajima Mai, and Yotsuya Miko were present.
"Psychic, what's going on over there?"
"Everything is..."
Yotsuya Miko, who was in another power station, was about to answer when she saw hundreds of looming black shadows appearing in the distance outside the power station.
With the power of the Hundred Eyes, she can clearly see things even if they are hundreds of meters away.
Each of those black shadows... is an evil spirit, and judging from the density of the black gas they emit, they are at least as powerful as the Fei Tou Man in the unfinished building.
"What happened to you?"
Hearing Futaba Rio's anxious cry from the intercom, and seeing the girl of Ugly Time hiding in the distance with a smug smile on her face, Yotsuya Miko murmured.
"So... the target is me..."
She quickly informed Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima on the other end of the intercom that there were thousands of evil spirits at the scene and their number was still increasing.
Upon hearing this, Sakurajima Mai hurriedly spoke anxiously.
"It's too dangerous, let's retreat."
"Do not."
Hearing what Sakurajima Mai said, Yotsuya Miko shook her head and spoke in a calm tone.
"Since you were able to discover the anomaly, it means that you two encountered no obstacles or very few obstacles in the power station you were in, and most of the enemy's forces were targeting me, right?"
"Yes...but..."
"No buts."
Yotsuya Miko, who always speaks softly and has a dull expression but a soft and gentle personality, showed unquestionable firmness at this moment.
"I will try to delay the time as much as possible. You can take this opportunity to repair the power station. If one is not enough, build two. If two are not enough, build three. As long as you avoid the power station I am in, you shouldn't encounter any obstacles."
"Are you crazy? There are thousands of them..."
Without waiting for Sakurajima Mai to finish her words, Yotsuya Miko cut off the communication.
She muttered to herself as she looked at the thousands of evil spirits that surrounded her like a black tide.
"So, as the strongest, you usually bear this kind of pressure... Well, now that I am the strongest, I can't lose..."
As the words fell, Yotsuya Miko had already put Mikazuki Munechika into the sheath at her waist, took a deep breath, and slowly closed her eyes.
Seeing her like this, the Ugly Girl in the distance couldn't help but let out a sinister smile.
"Have you finally given up? Unfortunately, I won't let you die easily. After tearing your soul into pieces, I will still occupy your body."
Yotsuya Kenko seemed to have turned a deaf ear to what was said. He just stood there and took a deep breath.
Some time ago in Tokyo, after she let her Hundred Eyes devour the evil spirit named Tufo, she had a vague and strange feeling, as if she had awakened some new ability.
And this ability, Ye Xing had once described to her, was a special ability that Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, and even Futaba Rio's current spiritual power was not enough to display.
Yotsuya Miko was not 100% sure, but she knew very well that with her current strength, she would not be able to deal with such a large number of evil spirits without using that ability.
Even if it is used, it can only delay time as much as possible.
But it's enough to delay time.
"call..."
Yotsuya Miko slowly opened her eyes, and the golden light in her eyes had reached a level that was so dazzling that it was difficult to look directly at.
"The field unfolds."
............
At the same time, in the other world.
"It's really boring, that's it?"
Looking at the four evil spirits lying on the ground with their broken bodies twitching constantly, Ye Xing looked disappointed. He squatted down, stretched out his pale ghost hand, and patted Yeserfang's head, which was only half eaten and was slowly recovering.
"Hey, keep going, I haven't had enough fun yet."
At this time, Tamamonomae upstairs had a complicated expression on her face, and even felt sweaty.
What happened in the past ten minutes or so really overturned her imagination.
Ye Xing could instantly kill any one of the four evil spirits, even if all four attacked at the same time.
However, he deliberately did not destroy it directly, because even if he destroyed it, the opponent would be resurrected under the influence of the black fog.
Yexing made a wise, cruel and ruthless decision that even Tamamonomae was a little afraid to watch.
He devoured the bodies of the four evil spirits in turn, admiring with a look of great pleasure the twisted fear and unbearable pain on their faces after being devoured by him.
This was not an evenly matched battle at all.
If I had to describe it in one word...
Punishment.
222 The Exorcist is the villain boss, the white door suddenly appears
"Now tell me..."
A white smiling face pattern appeared on Ye Xing's pure black mask, and he asked with a smile, as if he was chatting casually.
"Why did you trap me here? Are you guys masochists? Do you like being tortured?"
“Kill…Kill you!”
Among these four evil spirits, the most powerful one is Qiao Ji, and it is also the only evil spirit that can speak at this time.
Qiao Ji, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly stood up, stretched out her hands with sharp nails and stained with blood, let out a sharp and piercing roar, and pounced towards Ye Xing who was standing there.
"Boring."
Ye Xing just slightly turned his body to avoid Qiao Ji's seemingly fierce attack, then stretched out his pale ghost hand and pierced the opponent's neck with five fingers.
Then, the sharp black nails on the five fingers of his right hand cut through like a blade, cutting off the right shoulder of Qiao Ji from her body.
The piece of meat fell to the ground. Ye Xing opened his mouth slightly and swallowed the black smoke that turned into it into his stomach. He listened to Qiao Ji's screams at the top of her lungs, as if it was the most perfect and pleasant symphony in the world, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, it is indeed freshest when eaten raw, and with music as an accompaniment. The dining environment is really nice."
At this point, Tamamonomae, who was lying on the upstairs window and peeking, had become numb to such scenes.
The same thing has been repeated over and over again during this period of time.
The only difference is that Yexing eats a different part each time.
At this moment, Tamamonomae felt a chill and fear in his heart at the ruthlessness of this professional exorcist, but he also couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Fortunately, when I first met him in the other world, we reached a contractual partnership.
If I had taken a wrong step then...
Will I also have to endure the cruel torture of watching my body being eaten away bit by bit like these four guys?
Just thinking about it made Tamamonomae shudder.
She looked at the four evil spirits lying on the ground, and even revealed a bit of pity in her eyes.
It's too awful.
It's so miserable.
It can be continuously recovered through the power of the black fog and is difficult to be completely eliminated by normal means. This should be considered a good thing.
But now, due to this characteristic, these four evil spirits, which were born from people's negative impressions in the legend of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, are simply in hell.
Constantly recovering, and then being constantly devoured.
It's a living hell...
After such a long rest, Tamamonomae felt that he had recovered some of his strength, so he left the abandoned building and stood next to Yexing.
"Mr. Yexing..."
"You can even walk now? You've recovered pretty quickly."
Hearing Ye Xing's smiling words, Tamamonomae couldn't help but tremble.
Fast recovery...
This is not a good thing...
Tamamonomae was really scared, and Yahoshi ate herself on a whim.
"Did you...find out anything?"
"No."
Ye Xing shook his head and replied nonchalantly while casually stepping on Yeserabo's bald head.
"Judging from the current situation, this so-called black fog, apart from being able to enhance the recovery ability of some evil spirits, cannot increase the power of these evil spirits. They are still very weak, but it is difficult to completely eliminate them. Moreover, this black fog itself is not aggressive."
Tamamonomae looked puzzled and said hesitantly.
"Isn't this... a good thing?"
"It's a good thing, indeed."
Ye Xing nodded, and the black coat on his body and the mask on his face turned into black flames and dissipated at the same time. He spoke softly.
"No matter who is behind this, now that you know the contract between you and me, you should understand that it is impossible to kill me with just the evil spirits that attacked you before and the four infinitely restoring buffets in front of you."
"Judging from the abilities of these four guys..."
Having said that, Ye Xing took Onimaru Kunitsuna in his left hand and cut Noderabo, who was crawling on the ground, into two halves vertically from the top of his head. Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the left half of the opponent's body into his stomach.
Tamamonomae noticed the other person's enjoyable expression and suddenly realized something.
Is the reason why this exorcist devours evil spirits really to protect humanity and increase his own strength?
How does she feel...
Does Yexing simply like doing this kind of thing?
Abnormal!
"They don't exist to fight me or even to destroy me. It's more like they are trying to delay time."
"Delaying time...?"
Tamamonomae muttered these words, looking up at the sky, at the moon that was becoming increasingly dark red, and spoke thoughtfully.
"From the nature of the inner world... could it be that the other party thinks that some changes will occur in the real world, and then be reflected in the inner world, giving birth to... a powerful existence that can kill you?"
