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

That wasn't human at all...

The phantom of thousands upon thousands of evil spirits overlapping, and the oppressive feeling that seemed to come from the bloodline, made the white-coated evil spirit unable to even have the thought of resisting.

Only by leaving this area as soon as possible can one have a glimmer of hope to continue existing.

The evil spirit in the white coat ran up the stairwell to the iron door leading to the second basement level.

It pushed open the door and rushed out, feeling its body relax completely.

fortunately...

The other party did not chase after them.

The evil spirit in the white coat breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if it had almost turned back into a human from fright.

If I had known that such terrifying monsters existed in the real world, I should have stayed in the other world.

Just then, the evil spirit in the white coat suddenly discovered something.

here...

Is it the second basement level?

Why does the sign still say "three underground floors"?

"Da, da, da..."

Light footsteps came from around the corner of the corridor.

The white-coated evil spirit was startled and, without hesitation, ran towards the top of the stairwell again.

I went up the stairs again.

I pushed open the door once again.

Once again, I saw that familiar sign for the third basement level.

The evil spirit in the white coat felt despair.

How could such a thing happen?

Could it be...

Is this what they call being trapped in a maze by ghosts?

"Da, da, da..."

Just then, the unhurried footsteps finally turned the corner and appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Run."

Night Star's soft, laughing voice rang out.

Why did you stop running?

Seeing the evil spirit in the white coat standing there, Mai Sakurajima and Yui Yuigahama finally realized that something was wrong.

According to the rules summarized by Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya, ordinary people cannot "observe" evil spirits and ghosts.

There are only a very few special cases.

For example, only those who enter the underworld, or those who possess and merge with human bodies, can break this rule.

"Is this...the other world?"

Upon hearing Sakurajima Mai's question, Yohoshi continued walking forward, simply extending his right hand to accept the pale demon hand's offer to Onimaru Kunitsuna.

"If we're talking about the other world... its nature might be similar, just with a slight difference."

As Ye Xing slowly approached the evil spirit in the white coat, he spoke calmly.

"This is my world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pristine white walls of the hospital were instantly engulfed by raging black flames.

"This...this is..."

Not only Yui Yuigahama and Mai Sakurajima, but even the usually oblivious and somewhat eccentric Kazusa Touma was shocked by the scene before them.

The floor tiles were polished to a shine, while on either side, black flames raged.

Holding a jet-black longsword, Ye Xing walked step by step toward the evil spirit standing at the other end, wearing a blood-stained white coat.

This scene even has a touch of religious sanctity.

This is the new ability that Night Star gained after devouring the giant evil spirit that had fused with "the Gate" within its body.

"Didn't I tell you to stand still?"

As Ye Xing walked towards him step by step, his eyes devoid of any pity, the evil spirit in the white coat was on the verge of collapse.

Under such intense pressure, its remaining rationality vanished.

Instead, the instinct of being an evil spirit takes its place.

"You...can see!"

The blood on the white coat and the evil mask had already dripped onto the ground.

What was originally just a white coat stained with blood has now been completely transformed into a blood-soaked garment.

Two lines of bloody tears seeped from the pupils that were only white.

To Sakurajima Mai and the others' surprise, as soon as the white-coated evil spirit uttered its roar, Yoruichi appeared in front of it in a flash.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and delivered another crisp, resounding slap to the white-coated evil spirit.

"BYD, who gave you permission to copy my lines?"

The head of the evil spirit in the white coat spun around his neck more than a dozen times before finally stopping.

If it were a normal person, they would have died long ago.

But the evil spirits are obviously much more resistant to attacks.

The white-coated evil spirit roared, its eyes, brimming with blood and tears, fixed intently on Ye Xing with its pale, pupil-less eyes.

The next second, however, it made an unexpected move.

White coats... no, they should now be called blood-stained evil spirits.

With a flash, it leaped like a spider onto the ceiling that wasn't engulfed by the black flames. Then, it crawled upside down and pounced fiercely at Mai Sakurajima and the others who were standing not far away.

Hearing the terrifying roar from the blood-clad evil spirit, and seeing its eerie crawling movements upside down, Yui Yuigahama and Mai Sakurajima were both so frightened that their minds went blank.

Touma Kazusa frowned slightly, her face still expressionless, but she tensed her core and took her right foot back a few centimeters, beginning to gather strength.

As the blood-clad demon lunged forward, she had already gathered her strength. She raised her right leg, which was encased in her trousers, and kicked directly at the demon's terrifying face.

"boom!"

The loud noise wasn't caused by Touma Kazusa's kick.

Just before the blood-clad evil spirit could touch her, a pitch-black ghostly hand appeared and slammed the evil spirit to the ground.

Touma Kazusa withdrew her foot, brushed her black hair aside, and her expression remained unchanged.

Mai Sakurajima and Yui Yuigahama were both stunned.

No, Touma, are you really that cruel?

How can one remain calm and composed in the face of such a terrifying evil spirit?

Even Yotsuya Miko went through a fierce internal struggle before deciding to fight the evil spirits. In the end, it was out of her desire to protect Yui Yuigahama that she finally awakened the materialization of her soul.

Touma Kazusa is even more fierce than Miko!

"Touma-kun...you, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Yui Yuigahama's concerned inquiry, Touma Kazusa simply waved her hand and said indifferently.

"fine."

Yui Yuigahama was still worried, so she quickly went over to check on her. Seeing that Touma Kazusa was indeed unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly.

"Why are you doing something so dangerous? Why not just leave it to Ye Xing?"

"what?"

Touma Kazusa also had her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Can Night Star handle this thing? I don't know."

"Forehead..."

Mai Sakurajima was speechless.

"Didn't he help you deal with a strange incident last time? The one who played the piano."

"what?"

Touma Kazusa spoke with great self-righteousness.

"So it's true? I thought he was just having a fit of madness."

Mai Sakurajima and Yui Yuigahama: "........"

The two women exchanged a glance and, in unison, gave their heartfelt assessment: "You're pretty good."

.......

Ye Xing walked over slowly, looked at the blood-clad evil spirit that was pressed to the ground by the dark ghost hand, unable to move, but still panting heavily and roaring incessantly, and shook his head with a light laugh.

"You are very weak."

The blood-clad evil spirit had completely lost its mind, only continuing to roar, its eyes brimming with blood and tears, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"The second point that exorcists need to keep in mind."

Yoru looked at Sakurajima Mai and the other two in front of him, and spoke softly while turning the tip of Onimaru Kunitsuna's sword.

"Evil spirits have no sense of pain."

"Never show any mercy in battle."

At this point, Yoruichi had already plunged the tip of Onimaru Kunitsuna's sword into the back of the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit.

Furthermore, he twisted his wrist, causing the tip of Onimaru Kunitsuna's blade to rotate slowly within the body of the blood-clad evil spirit at an extremely subtle pace, neither too fast nor too slow.
