"here..."
Looking at the hospital building in front of her, which was dead silent in the night with only a few dim lights flashing, but looked even more eerie, Tamamonomae looked nervous.
"Mr. Yexing... do you... do you know where this place is?"
"Ok?"
Ye Xing put down his harmonica, and a dark ghost hand floated behind him. He pointed at the sign at the entrance of the hospital with his left hand and said speechlessly.
"You can't read?"
Tamamonomae rolled her eyes and said unhappily.
"Of course I can read, but I just want to ask you why you come to the mental hospital when you have nothing to do. Do you know that there are many powerful evil spirits here that even I am afraid of, who have no ability to think and can only act according to instinct?"
As a powerful being who dominates the other world...or should we say, once dominated the other world, Tamamonomae only learned about the nature of the other world and why she was born through the narration of Hachishaku-sama, but when it comes to her familiarity with the other world, the members of the Super Energy Society are obviously not as familiar as her.
In the inner world of Kyoto, there are many areas that even the powerful Tamamonomae dare not approach easily.
Here is one of them.
The Kyoto Mental Illness Treatment Center, also known as the Kyoto Psychiatric Hospital, is located in the suburbs of Kyoto City.
Tamamonomae had always known that this place was dangerous, but only after learning about the nature of the existence of the other world did she realize why this place had become a dangerous area.
Most people have different impressions of mental hospitals, but they are definitely negative.
Especially since there are many horror movies and games that like to use mental hospitals as the theme, this further deepens people's negative emotions.
The resulting...
It is an evil spirit filled with the purest murderous intent, without any ability to communicate, as crazy as the devils in hell, and with extremely powerful strength.
In response to Tamamonomae's question, Yexing whispered something terrifying that made the other person tremble in his heart.
"Of course I'm hungry."
"Also, this is the hungriest I've felt since I awakened my psychic abilities."
At this moment, looking at Ye Xing with a frivolous smile on his face, Tamamonomae suddenly felt that the terrifying existences in this mental hospital that made ordinary evil spirits retreat did not seem so terrifying.
No matter what kind of evil spirit it is, no matter what its appearance is...
In Ye Xing's eyes, they are all pure food. The only difference lies in the strength, texture and taste.
"Mr. Yexing..."
Although Tamamonomae thought so, he glanced at the other party's missing right arm, with a look of worry between his brows, and advised softly.
"You just experienced a battle a few hours ago... You said it yourself, you are just an ordinary human now. Even if you want to recover your strength as soon as possible... you should first attack those evil spirits with average strength... It is safer this way."
Having said that, Tamamonomae saw that Yexing still looked disapproving, so she bit her silver teeth lightly, with a determined look on her face, and stretched out her right arm, which was as white and smooth as jade.
"If it doesn't work, you can eat me."
"Eat you?"
Yexing shook his head and chuckled teasingly.
"That's not self-production and self-sale, it's like I'm eating my own shit, that's too disgusting, I can't do it."
Tamamonomae was speechless and didn't know where to start complaining.
My goodness, you usually eat those strange-looking evil spirits, each uglier than the other, without any hesitation, and even if you have time, you will savor them carefully.
It's already come to this, and you're telling me it's disgusting?
He is quite principled.
"Besides."
Ye Xing suddenly changed the subject, looked at Tamamonomae with a smile, and said softly.
"You are my important partner, not food. No matter what, I will not eat you."
Hearing these words, Tamamonomae was deeply moved. She was not the kind of person who was tsundere. Since she felt touched in her heart, she would naturally express it in her actions.
"I am very grateful that you can say this."
Tamamonomae bowed slightly, then looked at the hospital building with only a few windows and flickering lights, pursed her lips and said hesitantly.
"Are you going in anyway?"
"Yes."
"Even if Onimaru Kunitsuna and his psychic abilities cannot be used, as a mere ordinary human, you will most likely be torn into pieces and swallowed by those crazy evil spirits. Do you want to go in despite this risk?"
"Yes."
"Well."
Tamamonomae gave up on Quan Yexing's idea of giving up the thought, and a rare determination and seriousness appeared on her pretty and charming face.
She walked slowly forward in her clogs and white socks, heading towards the hospital building without hesitation, speaking in a calm tone.
"In that case, my power is limited, and I cannot guarantee that I can protect you."
"But I promise that even if I die, I will die before you."
It's funny to say.
Although Tamamonomae is an evil spirit born from the legend of the nine-tailed demon fox, she has never sucked the blood of any human male.
At least I hadn't smoked it a few hours ago.
Even Yohoshi, Futaba Rio, Yuigahama Yui, and Yotsuya Miko...
These four people were the first humans she had seen since she was born.
Tamamonomae is a conservative female...evil spirit.
He has done that kind of thing, whether it is for healing or for something else.
Her chastity was gone after all.
However, Tamamonomae did not regret it.
Now that you have acknowledged the Lord, you must carry out your promise to the end.
............
A man and a spirit slowly walked into the hospital building in front of them.
As soon as they entered the door, Ye Xing and Tamamonomae both sensed an inexplicable and strange aura.
There is no need to smell the scent. Just by looking at the white hall, with blood and body parts scattered everywhere and the lights flickering strangely, you can tell that this area is extremely dangerous in the other world.
"The evil spirits here... usually don't leave the area they belong to."
Tamamonomae was keeping watch on the surroundings, observing the corners where the lights could not reach to see if there were any terrifying creatures hidden, while lowering her voice to introduce things to Yexing.
"I didn't quite understand it at first, but now I think that they are different from me and Yashiro. They are not independent individuals, but evil spirits formed by people's negative emotions towards this mental hospital. They have no intention of leaving, and they cannot leave here, otherwise they will dissipate."
After listening to this, Ye Xing nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"You have become a professional exorcist now. You have learned how to analyze."
"Please be serious."
Tamamonomae spoke seriously as she and Yohoshi walked towards the stairwell.
"Although my strength has increased after I swallowed your thing, it has not yet recovered to its full state. The strength I can exert is only 50%."
"Besides, my true form is too conspicuous. If it were just me, it wouldn't matter."
"But you should understand that although you cannot use your power now, you are still a genuine psychic, and a delicacy in the eyes of evil spirits. I don't want to see you, who just made a contract with me, end up being eaten by evil spirits, so you'd better be cautious."
Yexing smiled and walked forward slowly.
"I'm too cautious."
Tamamonomae followed behind him, rolled his eyes helplessly, and thought to himself, are you still being cautious?
You're going crazy.
Even though he was missing an arm and couldn't use his psychic powers, he still dared to challenge one of the most difficult copies in the other world's Kyoto.
Tamamonomae felt helpless, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of inexplicable admiration and worship.
It seems that Ye Xingjun's extraordinary psychological qualities, which allow him to remain calm when facing evil spirits and play abstract games, are not due to his powerful strength.
He has always been an abstract person.
Although it was the first time that Tamamonomae and Yohoshi acted together, they reached a rare understanding on certain things.
Just like...
Don't take the elevator.
The elevators in the other world are still functioning normally.
But what is this place?
It is a mental hospital where crazy evil spirits roam around and terrifying evil spirits may appear at any time and anywhere.
Take the elevator?
Tamamonomae and Yohoshi would never touch upon the idiotic plots in horror movies.
"Have you figured out anything about this long-planned attack?"
While walking in the stairwell, Tamamonomae heard Yohoshi's question and couldn't help but frown in confusion.
"With your intelligence and experience in exorcism...it seems that you don't need me to help you analyze it, right?"
Ye Xing replied casually.
"Oh, my brain replacement is not around, so you have to take on the job first."
Tamamonomae stuck out her tongue, made a face at Yexing, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Tsk, so I am just a substitute."
"Hey, that's not right."
Ye Xing said seriously.
"You still have an irreplaceable role."
Tamamonomae was very curious when she heard this.
"What does it do?"
"Become my mount... in the real sense, of course. If it's a mount in another sense, I already have a lot."
"You're talking in abstract terms again."
Tamamonomae could vaguely understand what Yexing was referring to, which was another sense of the mount.
She simply didn't care.
Even though Tamamonomae is an evil spirit that was born after the appearance of the other world, her thoughts are actually similar to those of traditional women in Sakura Province.
A professional exorcist as strong as Ye Xing would open a harem…
Isn't this normal?
What's the big deal?
"Um..."
Tamamonomae thought about the entire details of the incident and said thoughtfully.
"First, the enemy must be aware of your capabilities, and..."
Tamamonomae is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart. After all, when she saw Yexing for the first time, she realized how powerful the other party was. She did not choose to be hostile, but chose to cooperate with him. She is a smart evil spirit.
The motives and analysis of the enemy she gave coincided with those of Rio Futaba in the real world.
But what happened next was something that Futaba Rio, who was not in the other world, was unable to analyze.
"If my guess is correct, the black fog that has been lingering in the other world and will never dissipate and cannot be seen through, combined with these properties, probably represents one of the deepest fears in the human heart, which is the fear of darkness and the unknown."
"And the black fog... erupted suddenly at the beginning. I'm afraid it was because something different happened in the real world... a power outage... that's pretty smart."
"However, judging from the fact that the black fog has gradually returned to normal, your companions in the real world have already gained an advantage."
"As for the mastermind behind this incident, I can think of someone who has such wisdom and power, and can command the other evil spirits..."
