In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

Shou Wu first frowned slightly, then used more force in his hands.

The magical artifacts made from the silk and hair of prostitutes, including the silk of the Jorogumo, are said to be adorned with silk and hair.

Logically speaking, let alone ordinary human beings.

Even powerful demons, if they dared to try and grab Ye Xing with their bare hands like Ye Xing did now, would be utterly defeated.

But when Shouwu tried to tug at it, his brows furrowed even more.

Why isn't it moving at all?

"Can you be more serious?"

Ye Xing pulled his hand to the side of his body with a little force, directly dragging the headless body into the air.

The other person's head was still stuck in place, not having had time to catch up.

Yoruichi stepped on Kubinashi's body, his hand still holding Onimaru Kunitsuna around Ushioni's neck, and shook his head in slight disappointment.

"Is this all the Nura Clan, with their long-standing reputation? It's really not very enjoyable."

Seeing the headless demon trampled under his feet, the bull demon's expression changed. Without thinking too much, he immediately wanted to unleash his power as a great demon.

However, the moment he had this thought, a huge, pale ghostly hand silently appeared behind him.

Those five fingers, with their sharp, jet-black nails, held the bull demon's massive body in their palms, making it feel like an ant.

"You can rest now."

Watching the bull demon struggle desperately under the control of the pale demon hand, unable to break free, Ye Xing gave a wink to the golden goat-headed deity beside him.

The latter immediately understood and ran over to press its huge claws onto the back of the headless body.

"I have lost interest in you."

Ye Xing walked to the front of the shrine, sat back down in the all-black chair, looked at the tengu yokai hovering in the air, not knowing what to do, and smiled softly.

"The only thing that can bring me any amusement is your first commander-in-chief. Why don't you hurry up and notify him to come and rescue them?"

.......

Twenty minutes later.

When Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio arrived at the shrine, they were not surprised to see the Kubinashi being held down by the goat-headed deity and the Gyu-oni being held by a pale demon hand and unable to move.

If they can handle an enemy, how could Ye Xing not be able to deal with it?

"These few..."

Rio Futaba walked up to Yohoshi and said thoughtfully.

"What exactly were those things? The ones we encountered seemed like evil spirits, but they also had physical forms, and they weren't very hostile towards us. They didn't try to ambush or kill us. We've never seen anything like it before."

"Oh, them."

Yoru replied casually, "They are what are called yokai, belonging to an organization called the Nura Clan. Just think of them as the underworld among yokai."

"monster?"

Yotsuya Miko looked slightly puzzled.

“I have never seen this kind of creature before.”

"I haven't seen it either."

Ye Xing smiled and then added a sentence.

"But have you ever considered that evil spirits are the kind of things that shouldn't exist in the first place, and there's absolutely no record of them?"

Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya exchanged a glance, thinking that it seemed to be true.

Yokai (supernatural beings) make a significant appearance in the legends and stories of Sakura Province.

However, there are no records of evil spirits that cannot be seen or directly harm humans.

Think about it too.

If I told you that there exists something in the world that looks terrifying and is hostile to humans, but you can't see or touch it and it can't affect you in any way, how would you feel?

Those who are better off scoff at it.

If someone has a bad attitude, does that mean you're out of your mind?

In comparison, monsters that possess physical forms and need to evade human attention, hiding in the shadows, are more in line with the descriptions in the legends.

Looking at Yohoshi, who was sitting comfortably in her seat, and Rio Futaba, who had taken off her glasses and tied her hair in a high ponytail, her expression became somewhat complicated.

During this time, she had a worry in her heart.

According to Tamamo-no-Mae, the "gate" first appeared on March 20th.

It is no coincidence.

Ye Xing also awakened her spiritual abilities on March 20th.

Is it possible for such a coincidence to happen in this world?

Rio Futaba has two guesses about this.

The first.

Because of the appearance of the "gate", the inner world and the real world partially merged. Therefore, according to the natural principle that evil spirits and humans cannot "cognize" each other and thus cannot influence each other, which is used to protect human life, Ye Xing awakened his spiritual abilities at that time.

if it is like this.

This means that the cringeworthy words Yohoshi said to Rio Futaba back then were actually right by accident.

He is the chosen one, destined to save the world, a prodigy with extraordinary talent.

All is well, and the Overload Society continues to fulfill its duty, protecting the world from the supernatural.

But what if it were another way?

The same phenomenon, the same process, but the cause and effect are reversed.

Is it because Ye Xing awakened spiritual abilities that something like a "door" appeared?

This explains why the strange phenomenon of "doors" exists only in the city of Kyoto.

Mai Sakurajima's puberty syndrome has influenced the observation and cognition of everyone in the world.

If the "gates" appearing in Kyoto City become increasingly powerful and insane, then those evil spirits...

Is it all the result of Ye Xing's puberty syndrome?

Rio Futaba cannot be confirmed.

After all, the sample size for puberty syndrome is extremely small, with only Mai Sakurajima as a case.

The saying goes well.

Science requires repeated verification before conclusions can be drawn.

A conclusion drawn from just one case, Mai Sakurajima, can only be called speculation.

If a second patient with puberty syndrome were to appear, perhaps a comparison between the two would be possible to draw a conclusion.

"Futaba, what are you thinking about?"

Rio Futaba only came to her senses after hearing Yohoshi's words.

She looked at the other person's familiar face, forced a smile, and shook her head.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I want to finish this quickly so I can go home and sleep."

Rio Futaba made up her mind.

In either case, her opinion of Night Star will not change.

The effects of puberty syndrome are beyond the control of the individual.

The crimes committed in Kyoto during this period, as well as the effects caused by the evil spirits, should not be attributed to Yoruichi; that would be unfair.

"Okay, let's resolve this as soon as possible."

Ye Xing appeared nonchalant on the surface, but inwardly she couldn't help but sigh.

Rio Futaba's acting is really terrible.

Given the other person's usual personality—never showing any emotional fluctuations and always maintaining a rational demeanor...

If there's really nothing wrong, why are you laughing at yourself?

110 Nurarihyon, the leader of all yokai, and Yohoshi's modern-day exorcism.

Just then, Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya suddenly felt as if the air around them had frozen.

Even the light drizzle stopped at that moment.

Thick clouds obscured half of the moon, making the already dimly lit shrine seem like the boundary between the underworld and the human world, filled with a tense atmosphere.

"coming."

Upon hearing Yohoshi's words, Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio turned their gazes toward the entrance of the shrine.

They saw an elderly man, dressed in traditional clothing, short in stature, with an unusually long back of his head, slowly walking up the steps from the entrance.

The other person was so short, and didn't exude any imposing aura.

He looks just like the confused old man next door.

Following behind the old man were hundreds of demons of various shapes and sizes, arranged in a neat and uniform formation, their footsteps sounding simultaneously. They were silent and varied in appearance.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Seeing Nurarihyon finally arrive, Gyuki, who was being held by the pale demon hand, first breathed a sigh of relief, but then seemed to remember something and spoke up to remind him.

"Commander-in-Chief, be careful, this guy..."

Before Niu Gui could finish speaking, Ye Xing stretched out his right hand and made a grasping motion in mid-air.

The pale ghost hand mirrored his movements, tightening its grip on the bull demon in its palm with a slight increase in force.

"Well..."

The demon frowned and let out a painful groan.
