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

The middle-aged couple lost their daughter...and in such a horrific and painful way that they couldn't even imagine the pain in each other's hearts.

After Yui Yuigahama finished speaking, Mai Sakurajima took over the conversation.

"The reason I am visiting you so abruptly is that I want to use my position to call on people in society to work together to find the real culprit who committed this heinous crime."

Upon hearing this, Sato Asako's father nodded indifferently.

"Oh, that's how it is..."

His eyes looked lifeless, completely devoid of any light.

Mai Sakurajima was clearly discussing such a heavy topic for the first time, but she continued speaking for the sake of the purpose of this trip.

"Could you please show us... where Sato Asako was found?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand.

"It's on the second floor, in the leftmost room. You can go up there yourselves."

"Ok."

Mai Sakurajima gave Miko Yotsuya a wink, and the two went up to the second floor together, arriving at the leftmost room.

After carefully opening the door, the scene that came into view was quite normal.

It was just an ordinary high school girl's room, with a small teddy bear-like plush toy next to her pillow.

The room was very clean and tidy, and through a transparent glass door, there was a small balcony.

After gently closing the door, Yotsuya Miko glanced at the furnishings in the room and said softly.

"Open your eyes, a hundred eyes."

As she called out, Hyakume, dressed in a kimono and wooden clogs with a burlap sash around her eyes, appeared in the room.

"Let's see if we can find anything."

Bai Mu nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."

Then, she slowly raised her hand and removed the burlap covering her eyes.

In the right eye socket was the eyeball belonging to the killing demon.

As a death god who hunts monsters, the eyes of the Killing Demon possess very special abilities.

No matter how much time has passed or how tiny the traces left by evil spirits are, they cannot escape the search of this eye.

In addition, Hyakume himself is a soul form that leans towards reconnaissance.

It's a match made in heaven.

"This is..."

Bai Mu paced back and forth inside the house, scanning the surroundings, and finally stopped in front of the glass door leading to the balcony, muttering to himself.

"There are traces, but these traces..."

Yotsuya Miko and Sakurajima Mai walked over, and saw Hyakume pointing to the handle of the glass door and saying calmly.

“There are some remaining traces on it.”

Mai Sakurajima quickly asked.

"So, it really was the work of an evil spirit?"

"Do not."

Bai Mu shook his head, his expression puzzled.

"These traces do resemble the lingering aura of an evil spirit, yet they're somewhat different... It seems to contain not only the traces of an evil spirit, but also those distorted traces of a soul..."

"Huh? A twisted soul?"

Mai Sakurajima's pupils contracted upon hearing this.

"You mean...this wasn't the work of a simple evil spirit...but rather an evil spirit that possessed a human body and could disguise itself as a human?"

"Hard to say."

Bai Mu shook his head and replied softly.

"I can't tell whether such distortion and madness is due to evil spirits manipulating human bodies, or whether humans, with their twisted souls and desires, have taken control of themselves."

........

Meanwhile, in the living room on the first floor.

Faced with a somewhat oppressive silence, Yui Yuigahama hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Um... Mr. Sato, may I ask about your wife...?"

"Oh, you mean Asako's mother."

Sato Asako's father waved his hand, his eyes as still as if he were dead.

"That day, she was the first to discover Asako's body."

"When I got home, I saw her slumped on the floor, and Asako was dead on the balcony."

"From that moment on, Asako's mother lost her ability to think normally and became mentally ill."

"To avoid upsetting her, I sent her back to her hometown to recuperate."

Looking at the portrait of the deceased displayed there, the members of the Superpower Society could imagine what a wonderful family it must have been.

It was only because of the twisted desires in that murderer's heart that he became this broken and shattered state.

Rio Futaba took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

"Please rest assured, we will definitely catch the murderer."

Upon hearing this, Sato Asako's father's eyes finally showed a slight change, but he only shook his head and said with a deathly pale face.

“My daughter was the second victim, but the Metropolitan Police Department has not yet caught the culprit.”

"Besides, even if we catch them, what can we do?"

"Legal sanctions are simply not enough to make such beasts experience real pain."

Faced with these words, the members of the Overload Society could only remain silent.

Although there are many death sentences in Sakura Province, very few prisoners are actually executed.

Moreover, many prisoners use their mental illness as a reason to reduce their sentences.

They may even eventually return to society and commit cruel crimes again.

In the ensuing silence, the members of the Superpower Society left Asako Sato's house with heavy hearts.

Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita stayed at a distance, while Yohoshi, Mai Sakurajima, Rio Futaba, and Miko Yotsuya, who were psychic, went to a distance to have a discussion.

Yotsuya Miko recounted in detail the strange marks that her Hundred Eyes had just discovered.

"A soul twisted to the extreme..."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses. Although she was also feeling very heavy-hearted, as the chief strategist of the Superpower Society, she had to set aside her emotions and think about the matter from an absolutely rational perspective.

"Could it be... that they are psychics like us?"

159 The plan to track down the real culprit, and Saki Kawasaki's invitation.

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko retorted with a speechless expression.

"No...you said they're psychics, but our souls aren't exactly twisted, are they?"

Rio Futaba didn't reply, but instead, together with Mai Sakurajima, turned their gaze to Yohoshi, who was standing next to them.

Sensing their gazes, Ye Xing waved her hand.

"Don't look at me, I'm perfectly normal."

Rio Futaba provided a precise critique.

"Generally speaking, people with mental illnesses don't realize they have a mental illness."

"Futaba, please be normal and don't steer the conversation off-topic."

"Hehe, I caught it from you."

After this round of banter, the gloom that had been hanging over everyone's hearts finally dissipated somewhat.

Mai Sakurajima, Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, and even Yui Yuigahama have all realized that this operation is different from the past.

In the past, although they had been fighting against the strange phenomena that were invading Kyoto, ordinary people could not observe evil spirits and did not know which events were caused by which evil spirits.

The only incidents that could have caused mass casualties—the Kyoto municipal kindergarten and the train incident—were both resolved in time by Yoruichi's intervention, eliminating the evil spirit before it could complete its plan.

But this time...

For the first time, they faced the victim's relatives directly, spoke with them, felt their pain, and witnessed firsthand the shattering of a family.

In comparison, Yukino Yukinoshita, besides Yohoshi, had the least psychological burden.

Because she didn't know the true abilities of the members of the Superpower Society, nor did she know the truth about the world.

Even now, Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't believe that an investigation by just a few ordinary high school students is enough to catch the serial killer who has baffled the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department and even prompted them to issue a public notice.

That's why she didn't feel much pressure.

This is also an important reason why Yoruhoshi invited Yukino Yukinoshita to join the investigation.

"Back to business."

Futaba Rio said thoughtfully.

"If we rule out the possibility of a psychic, I actually have another guess."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses, looked at the people in front of her, and slowly began to speak.

"Perhaps it's something similar to the long-tongued man and the fleshy tentacle dean we encountered before, something that is an evil spirit fused with a human."

Hearing this, Ye Xing nodded and added a sentence.

"But it can only be said that the nature is similar. Judging from this guy's actions, it seems that the twisted desires of humans have taken the lead over the instinct of evil spirits to chase after psychics. Otherwise, he would not have done such a thing."

Evil spirits are terrifying monsters with an instinctive urge to kill humans, that much is true.
