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

"Since you know the name 'Mask,' do you know what 'Mask' has done?"

The man's face was swollen on one side, and he spoke indistinctly.

"Know...know..."

"You know nothing!"

Ye Xing raised her hand again and delivered a resounding slap to the man's other cheek, achieving perfect symmetry on both sides of his face.

"This is a rhetorical question that doesn't need an answer. What are you going to answer? Hmm?"

The man looked like he was about to cry but had no tears, not daring to express his anger, let alone be angry. He thought to himself, "Judging from your tone, it's not like you're asking me a question."

That's what he thought, but he didn't dare say a single word more.

As someone in the media industry, he had naturally heard of the urban legends about "Mask".

He single-handedly killed the armed thugs at the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten, broke into the Kyoto Municipal Museum, and escaped unscathed.

The attack targeted a violent gang, killing all its members. The scene was reportedly extremely brutal, and even an experienced forensic doctor nearly vomited upon entering.

The recent trolley malfunction incident also seems to be inextricably linked to this party.

This guy is different from the other people involved in the previous reports about the man.

"Masked" is someone who has actually killed people, and many of them at that.

"Oh? Are you scared?"

Noticing the man's gaze, the smiley face on Night Star's mask suddenly disappeared, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"I ask you, did the victim engage in compensated dating before his death?"

Faced with his terrifying gaze, devoid of any emotion and seemingly ready to kill him at any moment, the man dared not lie and answered tremblingly.

"No...no...no, I...I just made it up..."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Ye Xing nodded noncommittally, pointed to the camera the man was holding in his arms, then patted the man on the shoulder and smiled kindly.

"You took a lot of photos today, didn't you?"

The man, looking timid and hesitant, handed over the camera he was holding.

"Please...please accept this."

Ye Xing glanced down at the camera in his hand and chuckled lightly, teasingly.

"Wow, that's pretty professional, is it a DSLR?"

The man managed a forced smile on his face, which was swollen like a pig's head.

"After all, he is a journalist..."

"Snapped!"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Ye Xing slapped him again, this time with much more force, causing several of the man's teeth to fly out of his mouth.

"You dare call yourself a journalist? Shut up."

After saying this, black flames ignited in Ye Xing's hand, burning the camera containing the photos to ashes.

The man was stunned by what he saw.

What is this! ?

How can someone's hands produce flames?

And it's black?

This doesn't make sense!

"Never seen this before, have you? First time seeing it? Isn't it interesting?"

Ye Xing smiled, looked directly into the man's eyes, and slowly began to speak.

"If you do this kind of thing again in the future, I will visit you at night."

"Okay...okay, I understand."

Seeing the man's timid and terrified expression, Ye Xing nodded in satisfaction.

When he got up and walked to the entrance of the alley, he stopped again.

"After thinking about it carefully..."

Ye Xing turned around, and the white smiley face reappeared on the pure black mask.

"This little bit of physical damage isn't enough to teach you a lesson. Let's have more."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Xing slowly extended her right hand towards the terrified man.

"come out."

Before the man's horrified gaze, a pale, ghostly hand with black fingernails appeared out of thin air in an instant.

Then, it slowly reached towards his body.

"No...no...don't come any closer!"

The man scrambled and crawled across the sewage-splattered alleyway, trying to escape into the distance.

The ear-piercing sound of fingernails scraping against the wall behind him was slowly and steadily approaching him.

As we climbed to the corner, the ear-piercing sound finally disappeared.

Just as the man breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look, he saw the huge, pale ghost hand with its five fingers spread wide, rushing towards his body.

"no no!"

The man was so terrified that his eyes rolled back, his body convulsed, and he lost consciousness, unable to withstand the immense horror.

.......

When Yoruhoshi looked relaxed and reunited with the others, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, showing some dissatisfaction.

"Ye Xing, this is supposed to be a group activity, but you made us all wait for you for so long. What were you doing?"

Night Star replied with a casual smile.

"Oh, I'm going to help others."

"Helping others?"

Seeing Yukino's slightly puzzled look, Yohoshi simply said it as a matter of course.

"Besides, everyone is happy to wait for me, right?"

Yukino frowned slightly, about to say something, but then she saw Mai Sakurajima and the others nodding in agreement, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

"Sigh...you guys are really too lenient with him..."

Night Star looked at the members of the Superpower Society: "In short, the hunt for the Teru Teru Bozu Killer ends here today. Dismiss yourselves."

After everyone else had left, Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously.

"What did you just say? Hunt down? Isn't it an investigation?"

"Hey, same here, chasing sounds cooler, doesn't it?"

Yukino nodded in agreement.

"It makes sense."

.......

After the group disbanded, Yohoshi brought Yukino Yukinoshita to the shopping district.

"Night... Night Star classmate."

Saki Kawasaki was dressed casually in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, without any special outfit, but her tall and well-proportioned figure and bright light blue high ponytail still made her a beautiful sight.

Originally, Kawasaki Saki's eyes held a hint of shyness and bashfulness.

But when he saw that Yukino Yukinoshita was with Yohoshi, he couldn't help but frown.

"Yukinoshita-san? What's she doing here?"

"Um..."

Ye Xing seemed to be pondering how to answer the question, and after a while, she finally smiled and spoke.

"For the time being, Yukinoshita-san has become my pet."

Chapter 160: Night Star's Invitation to Live Together, the Serial Killer's True Motive

"pet?"

Kawasaki Saki's expression changed upon hearing this, and she was greatly shocked.

Is this driving?

They must be driving!

A beautiful high school freshman girl with long, straight black hair becomes a pet for boys her own age?

Saki Kawasaki didn't dare to think about what would happen next.

"Night Star classmate..."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, narrowed her eyes, and her voice carried a hint of coldness.

"Please don't make such misleading jokes in front of Kawasaki-kun."

Ye Xing smiled and asked indifferently.

"Yukinoshita-kun, you're always by my side, and we even live under the same roof. Tell me, what word besides 'pet' can describe this kind of relationship?"

Faced with this question, Yukino Yukinoshita opened her lips, but found that she really couldn't find a suitable word to describe the current state of her relationship with Yohoshi.

First of all, it wasn't Ye Xing who begged her to live together.

On the contrary.
