Good guy.

You said it the other way around, right?

He made himself look like a criminal.

On the other side, Rio Futaba was controlling Hone-onna to clean up the battlefield.

"Ugh... That's disgusting."

The Bone Woman parted her lips slightly, turning the remnants of the worm-like evil spirit into black mist and swallowing it into her stomach, her face showing extreme disgust.

Rio Futaba said irritably.

"Alright, it's good enough that we have something to eat. After all, it's a very powerful evil spirit, we can't waste it."

"hehe."

The Bone Woman has always been someone who either doesn't speak at all, or when she does, she speaks frankly and bluntly, always making a statement that is sure to shock and provoke.

In response to Rio Futaba's words, she simply gave a cold laugh.

"You ate a good meal tonight, and then you leave me here eating this disgusting stuff. You really have some nerve, Mr. Liang?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Hone-onna's tone, Rio Futaba frowned slightly.

"What do you mean by 'eat well'? What are you talking about? I can't devour evil spirits."

"hehe."

The Bone Woman chuckled coldly twice more, her words carrying a profound meaning.

"You can't eat evil spirits, but you can eat other things. I'm so envious. I contribute when it's time to fight, but I don't get to enjoy it. It's really exploitation."

Rio Futaba finally understood what the Bone Woman meant by "eating." Her pretty face flushed red with embarrassment, and she clenched her teeth as she spoke.

"You...don't talk nonsense!"

After stomping her foot in anger, Rio Futaba glanced at the skeletal body beneath the bone woman's kimono and said calmly.

"Besides, you don't even have that function."

"Even without a body, a mouth is still..."

"Stop talking!"

.......

At this moment, Yohoshi was sitting on the tram tracks, next to Soichiro Yagami, the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

He put his arm around the other person's shoulder and said in an intimate tone.

"Hey, Lao Ye."

Soichiro Yagami was speechless.

"My surname is Yagami."

"Oh, I mean, old man."

Soichiro Yagami: "...."

You can call me Soichiro.

"That's what I've been waiting for."

Ye Xing was completely unceremonious, addressing him by his given name directly.

"Sōichirō, after what happened today, you should know that evil spirits exist in this world."

Soichiro Yagami's expression was complicated, and in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Hmm...I've already seen it."

He could not deny what had just happened.

Even if you say it's your own hallucination...

But what about those rescue workers who died, and the Metropolitan Police Department officers who sacrificed their lives? Were all those lives just for show?

There are indeed monsters in this world that ordinary people don't know about, but which truly exist.

So, what are you planning to do?

Upon hearing Yohoshi's question, Yagami Souichirou answered without hesitation.

"What else can we do? Such a dangerous situation must be reported to higher-ups immediately so that appropriate measures can be taken..."

"No."

Just as Soichiro Yagami was speaking, Rio Futaba suddenly walked over and interrupted him.

Immediately afterwards, Rio Futaba looked at Yohoshi and spoke softly.

"I now know more or less what this evil spirit looks like."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and praised with a smile.

"Not bad, as expected of you."

Upon hearing this praise, Rio Futaba was not pleased; instead, she sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness.

"You already noticed, didn't you?"

"Yeah, almost."

"Since when?"

"Let me think... It was probably when I first entered the Otherworld, that's when I felt it was possible."

"Then why didn't you say anything for so long?"

Hearing Rio's somewhat complaining words, Yohoshi simply replied indifferently.

"Even if I said it, it would be pointless. Besides, isn't this just a way to train you?"

"Tch, you're just being lazy, aren't you?"

As Rio Futaba finished speaking, Souichirou Yagami suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he found himself sitting in a seat on the tram.

"this...?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Yagami Souichirou's face, Yohoshi simply smiled and said...

"Sōichirō, this is the real world."

Soichiro Yagami was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

"That place just now..."

Yoruhoshi looked at Futaba Rio: "You explain it."

"it is good."

Rio Futaba didn't ask too many questions and told Souichirou Yagami everything about the Otherworld and the "Gate".

Although she didn't trust the man in front of her, the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

But since Ye Xing has already said so, I'll just do as he says.

"This this..."

After hearing Rio Futaba's words, Souichirou Yagami was completely taken aback, looking skeptical.

"You guys...you're not kidding me, are you?"

Ye Xing shrugged and asked in return.

"What do you think?"

Souichirou Yagami pondered for a few seconds before speaking thoughtfully.

"If that's the case... then it makes sense that you didn't leave any trace during your several actions, appearing and disappearing like you were teleporting."

"But..."

Soichiro Yagami changed the subject, his expression turning serious.

"Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you if you tell me all this?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing almost burst out laughing, but managed to suppress her laughter and wave her hand.

"Sōichirō, you still don't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

Yoru patted Yagami Souichirou on the shoulder, his voice laced with laughter, but his words sent chills down Souichirou's spine.

"If one day, your Metropolitan Police Department ever manages to uncover my true identity..."

"That's not my dead end."

"It's the death sentence for everyone in your Metropolitan Police Department."

Soichiro Yagami's expression froze.

He could tell that the other person's eyes were very serious and that they weren't joking.

With the abilities of "Mask"...

This is not just empty threats.

The other party is truly capable of doing this.

"Look how nervous you are."

A smile suddenly appeared in Yosei's eyes as he patted Yagami Souichirou on the shoulder.

"I was just kidding. I'm not really interested in killing people."

Souichirou Yagami breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that the white shirt under his suit jacket was already soaked with sweat.

Yagami Souichirou composed himself and spoke in a serious voice.

"Then...why are you telling me these things?"
