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

122. Limitless, idealistic abilities; Night Star's true soul form.

"Fake...Masked!?"

When Amano Hina saw the Yoru, who looked exactly like the one described in the urban legend, she was stunned.

I've been discussing this for ages, and it turns out the real deal is right in front of me?

This Yohoshi student... is the same Yohoshi who invaded the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten and the Kyoto Municipal Museum, the legendary, ghost-like criminal, "Mask"?

"call..."

A sound like a whirlwind swept by rang out, and the huge, bloodshot pupil outside the window retreated a distance, seemingly feeling a little wary of Ye Xing, who had suddenly changed his appearance and unleashed his aura.

With this retreat, Yui Yuigahama and Hina Amano inside the house finally saw the true face of the evil spirit outside the window.

Black, unidentified liquid was dripping from the hair, which was stuck together like seaweed.

What should have been a mouth was sewn shut with silk thread, leaving only a barely perceptible gap.

The breathing sound they had just heard, like the sound of wind, came from inside.

Two bloodshot pupils, their gaze filled with resentment and distortion, locked onto the three people inside the room through the small window.

From its appearance, this evil spirit is not particularly terrifying.

But when Amano Hina saw that the other person was right outside the window, watching them, she was first stunned for a moment, then her expression changed, and she said tremblingly.

"This...this is the second floor..."

Based on the height of the house where Amano Hina lives, the window is approximately five meters above the ground.

In other words.

The fact that the evil spirit's head was outside the window proves that its body was at least four meters tall.

A spirit of this size would be something even someone like Hina Amano, who had never encountered anything eerie before, would find strange.

Even Yuigahama Yui, who had been to the Otherworld, had never seen such a huge monster.

Is this... the same evil spirit that has merged with the "gate" as the Eight-Foot Man?

Just as Hina Amano and Yui Yuigahama were shocked, the evil spirit outside the window did something that horrified them.

other side...

He straightened his back.

It was only in that instant that Hina Amano and Yui Yuigahama realized it.

My original estimate of my size was far too naive.

After the evil spirit straightened up, all they could see was the waist area of ​​the other party, which was wearing a tattered burlap shirt.

A second-floor window that's nearly five meters high is only half the height of the person standing there!?

What the hell is this?

Giant evil spirit!?

"Roar!!!"

With the sound of silk threads snapping and flesh tearing, a furious roar that shook the house resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Hina Amano and Yui Yuigahama sat on the ground, feeling utterly hopeless.

"come out."

Night Star's voice remained as calm as ever.

With just two soft words uttered, two ghostly hands, one black and one white, instantly appeared, protecting Amano Hina and Yuigahama Yui by gently clasping their hands together in their palms.

next second.

"boom!"

A giant hand descended from the roof, crushing the dilapidated two-story apartment building into ruins.

Two ghostly hands protected Yui Yuigahama and Hina Amano, and in the split second before the hands landed, they had already sent them more than ten meters away.

After landing back on the ground, Yui Yuigahama first composed herself.

She saw that the two-story apartment building not far away had been reduced to ruins. Her pupils contracted in shock, and her face was filled with disbelief as she murmured.

"Night...Night Star..."

Yui Yuigahama knows that Yosei's main ability is to summon two demon hands of completely opposite colors, black and white.

This is the embodiment of the other person's soul.

But...

Just now, to protect himself and Hina, both demonic hands appeared.

That night's stars...

Yui Yuigahama's mind went completely blank; she couldn't even think straight.

After leaving the house, she and Hina Amano finally got a clear look at the evil spirit.

Its size is approximately ten meters.

It was the largest of all the evil spirits that the Excess Society had ever encountered.

Its body resembles that of a human, and it wears a tattered linen robe stained with black spots.

His gray hands hung down, with sharp, dark gray nails on his ten fingers.

The surface of the skin is also a dark gray color.

His entire being exuded an aura of deathly stillness.

Only in those huge, bloodshot pupils did a twisted, ferocious expression appear.

Both being evil spirits that have merged with "doors," compared to the other, the Yasakani that Yuigahama Yui had seen before could even be described as quite cute.

"Yui... what should we do?"

Although Amano Hina was trembling with fear, she still bit her lower lip and forced herself to ask a question.

"I...I don't know."

Yui Yuigahama shook her head, her eyes filled with despair.

Although she herself is not a psychic, as an internal member of the Xyz Society, she still has some understanding of evil spirits, the underworld, and the nature of strange phenomena such as "doors".

This is no longer the real world.

Yoruhoshi and Yotsuya Miko had encountered a similar situation once before in that unfinished building.

The "door" was opened too wide, causing a certain area of ​​the real world and the inner world to gradually merge together.

In this ghostly realm, everything follows the laws of the underworld.

Whether or not one is a psychic, one can perform "observation".

In other words.

Regardless of whether they are psychics or not, they will become targets of evil spirits.

There are only two ways to break free.

First, leave the area affected by the "door".

The second is to directly eliminate the "door" that has an impact on this area.

No matter which point...

Looking at the evil spirit, whose size was almost the same as the main teaching building of Soubu High School, Yui Yuigahama was already in deep despair and smiled bitterly.

“I can’t do that.”

Just then, the evil spirit's bloodshot eyes locked onto Hina Amano and Yui Yuigahama.

It took only one step, crossing directly from the train tracks behind the apartment to right in front of the two of them.

Then, the evil spirit reached out its large, dark gray hand, its eyes filled with twisted killing intent, and pressed down on the two women as if it were swatting ants on the ground.

Two ghostly hands, one black and one white, simultaneously reached upwards to meet the attack.

After a brief stalemate, it seemed to be exhausted, and was slowly pressed down by the giant hand of the evil spirit.

"Yui, watch out!"

Amano Hina was so startled that her pupils contracted, and she did something that she herself didn't know why it was done, entirely out of subconsciousness.

She clasped her hands together, interlocked her fingers, lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes, and said anxiously.

"please!"

The moment Amano Hina finished speaking, a blinding light suddenly flashed across the previously pitch-black sky.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the evil spirit's outstretched hand.

"boom!"

Lightning strikes faster than sound.

The thunder didn't start until the evil spirit was struck.

"Roar!!!"

The evil spirit roared in pain and withdrew its hand.

Amano Hina felt completely exhausted, as if she was about to faint.

Upon seeing this, Yui Yuigahama quickly supported her shoulder.

"Yin Cai, are you alright?"

"I, I'm fine."

Hina was having trouble breathing. Looking at the evil spirit not far away, before she could even catch her breath, she was plunged into despair once again.

The other party was not seriously injured at all.

The enormous hand only left a charred mark, without even a hole.
