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

On the other side, when Yagami Soichiro's vehicle was less than two hundred meters away from the Suga editing studio, the car suddenly trembled a few times and slowed down more and more, like an old man on his deathbed.

In the end, he passed away peacefully by the roadside.

"Damn it... couldn't I have just held on a little longer...?"

Although Yagami Soichiro said this, he knew in his heart that he was very lucky. He had forced his way through so many puddles and floored the accelerator. It was really not easy for this police car to last this long.

He pushed open the car door, and his meticulously clean leather shoes stepped directly onto the puddle, his calves and the rest of his body sinking into the water.

"Faster..."

With his right hand on the holster at his waist, Yagami Soichiro's square face hardened with determination as he took each step with all his might toward the Suga editorial studio.

As the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, it is his responsibility to protect the safety of the citizens of Kyoto.

Soichiro Yagami didn't want to see any more innocent people die at the hands of that deranged serial killer.

.......

It took Yagami Soichiro nearly five minutes to reach the short distance of 200 meters.

He saw the door to Suga's editing studio, located at the bottom of the stairs, just open.

Because it's a semi-basement, the water level in the entire house has reached between 1.2 and 1.3 meters.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yagami Soichiro stepped directly into the water.

At the same time, he unholstered his gun, released the safety of his pistol, and became extremely vigilant.

Upon entering the studio, Souichirou Yagami saw Natsumi Suga leaning against the wall, her eyes filled with fear, but outwardly she appeared unharmed.

Opposite her was a person wearing a black hoodie, who was not very tall.

"stop!"

Soichiro Yagami raised his gun, aimed it at the man in the black hoodie, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't make any rash moves! Otherwise, I'll shoot immediately!"

Hearing the sound behind him, the Teru Teru Bozu Killer slowly turned around. Wearing a yellowish mask, his facial features were not visible, except for a pair of bloodshot pupils that revealed a mad and twisted look.

"Who are you?"

Seeing those terrifying eyes that no normal human could possibly possess, Souichirou Yagami's heart sank.

This guy's mental state... seems a bit unstable.

If he were alone here, Soichiro Yagami would not hesitate to aim at the madman's forehead and pull the trigger.

But now, there is still a young, innocent woman here.

Even if this madman had a one percent chance of possessing supernatural powers, Soichiro Yagami was unwilling to gamble on the remaining ninety-nine percent.

"Calm down. I am Soichiro Yagami, the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department. May I ask who you are?"

As a seasoned detective, Soichiro Yagami has received professional training in negotiating with criminals and calming them down.

Seeing him lower the gun and hearing the question he asked, a strange excitement suddenly appeared in the eyes of the teru teru bozu killer.

"Who am I? Do you want to know!? Are you curious!?"

Souichirou Yagami immediately gave his assessment in his mind.

This criminal suspect craves attention and respect from the outside world.

He immediately followed up on the conversation.

"Yes, I'm very curious to know what kind of person could be responsible for such a major case that has shocked the entire city of Kyoto and even the whole of Sakura Province."

At this point, Soichiro Yagami paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"So, this Suga Natsumi is just an ordinary, third-rate online media person. Isn't it a bit unqualified for her to participate in your interview? In comparison, it's more appropriate for me, as the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, to stay here, isn't it?"

Although Suga Natsumi knew that Director Yagami was trying to extricate herself using this method, she was still slightly taken aback when she heard that he was a third-rate online media person.

This is really tough.

The Sunny Doll Killer's pupils contracted slightly, as if hesitating about something, but then they contorted again, and he screamed hoarsely.

"No! You and she both have to stay here! Where are the reporters from Kyoto TV?! I need to see them!"

"Okay, okay! Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the Teru Teru Bozu Killer's emotions were becoming unstable, Yagami Souichirou quickly spoke into the walkie-talkie to reassure him.

"I'll ask for you right now, don't worry."

Immediately afterwards, he shouted into the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Where are the people from the TV station? Tell them to hurry up!"

"Understood, Chief Yagami."

Due to the heavy rain, although Kyoto Television informed the Metropolitan Police Department that the "teru teru bozu killer" would appear at the Suga editorial office, its own team of reporters had not yet arrived at the scene.

Hearing Yagami Souichirou's urging, the Teru Teru Bozu Killer nodded in satisfaction.

Originally, he had a very comprehensive plan.

First, kidnap the girl named Yui Yuigahama and the self-proclaimed "Sunny Girl" Hina Amano, and bring them to the Suga editing studio.

Once the reporters from Kyoto City Television arrive, he will request that the entire event be broadcast live.

Then, in front of everyone in Kyoto, he killed Amano Hina, who called herself the Weather Maiden.

And the final step...

Just like before, they tore off Yui Yuigahama's limbs and turned this lively, cute, and flamboyant girl, who met the requirements of the gods, into a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll made from snowflakes) as a sacrifice.

And when that time comes, everyone watching the live stream will understand.

Since the self-proclaimed "Weather Maiden" Amano Hina has been killed by him, it proves that the rain stopping was not due to this fake Weather Maiden at all.

It's all thanks to him!

Everyone must look at themselves.

Even something as simple as changing the weather can be done by myself!

........

When the Kyoto City TV media van arrived at the scene, the Metropolitan Police Department's troops also arrived at the same time.

The TV reporter, seeing the Metropolitan Police Department members standing ready and using vehicles as cover, felt a little flustered, but still whispered to the cameraman behind him.

"Can the live stream connect?"

"I'm trying, but the rain is too heavy and the signal is always intermittent."

"No matter what method we use, we need to resolve this quickly. Today's incident is sure to spark heated discussions!"

The reporters from Kyoto Television had already sensed a juicy story.

She even came up with a title.

Clash! Chief of Criminal Investigation Department vs. Serial Killer: The Battle Between Good and Evil in a Basement!

At the same time, Soichiro Yagami, who was inside the house, also heard the report from his subordinates over the walkie-talkie.

He looked at the Teru Teru Bozu assassin in front of him, stared directly into the other's eyes, and spoke in a deep voice.

"The reporters have arrived. Can we leave now?"

"it is good."

To Soichiro Yagami's surprise, the highly dangerous serial killer who had committed five horrific crimes did not use himself, or Natsumi Suga standing there, as a human shield.

And so, they walked straight out through the basement door.

"Miss Suga Natsumi, hurry!"

Although Yagami Souichirou had a bad feeling, his duty as the head of the criminal investigation department made him choose to escort Suga Natsumi out of the basement as soon as possible.

"Please stand aside."

After escorting Suga Natsumi out of the Metropolitan Police Department's encirclement, Yagami Soichiro rejoined the Metropolitan Police Department's ranks.

He looked at the Sunny Doll Killer, who stood there with his arms outstretched, showing no sign of panic even when facing dozens of gun barrels, but instead appearing increasingly excited. His ominous premonition grew stronger.

"Chief Yagami...should we fire?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's question, Soichiro Yagami could only grit his teeth and reply.

"Where are the riot control special forces? Haven't they arrived yet?"

"Not yet, now that the situation at the scene is under control..."

"No, wait a little longer."

Souichirou Yagami took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't fire yet."

Soichiro Yagami is waiting.

He was waiting for that person who, once they appeared, could solve all his problems.

But today...

The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, as if a river in the sky was pouring down under the influence of gravity.

"Mask"...

Will they come?

Where are the reporters?

Upon hearing the question about the Teru Teru Bozu killer, in order to appease the other party, Soichiro Yagami nodded to his subordinates and let the Kyoto TV reporter and cameraman out of the encirclement.

"Hello, this is Kyoto Television."

"We've finally arrived..."

The Teru Teru Bozu killer's eyes flashed with a manic light as he glanced at the cameraman's shoulder and spoke in a deep voice.

"Has the live stream started?"

At this point, the photographer finally reconnected to the signal and nodded with delight.
