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

"Are you anxious?"

Unlike Yotsuya Miko, who looked anxious upon seeing the pale ghost hand disappear, Yohoshi remained calm and even had the composure to make a lighthearted joke.

"I'm usually a cautious person, and I should have retreated by now, but..."

Yoru looked at Yotsuya Miko and Yui Yuigahama behind him, as well as Sabre who was squatting on the ground with his tongue sticking out, shook his head, and looked directly into Hachisa's eyes and said softly.

"It seems that this time, we'll have to get serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xing reached out his right hand again and made a grasping motion towards the eight-foot-tall figure in front of him.

"come out."

At his command, the pale, enormous ghostly hand reappeared.

Yui Yuigahama didn't understand, but Miko Yotsuya, who had also awakened the ability to materialize her soul, knew the reason.

To put it bluntly, her Hundred Eyes and Night Star's Pale Ghost Hand are merely projections of the user's heart and soul.

The destruction of the projection will have some impact on the user, but as long as the cost is bearable, it can be summoned again.

The pale ghost hand seemed to feel ashamed that it had been destroyed by a mere eight feet, so as soon as it appeared, it raised its middle finger and made a universally recognized friendly gesture towards the eight feet.

This comical scene left Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya speechless.

Indeed, it truly is a projection of the heart and soul.

The pale ghost hand can't even speak, but judging from its appearance, its abstractness is no less than that of Night Star.

If it grows a mouth one day, wouldn't it be able to have the effect of mental attack?

"Go."

As Ye Xing softly uttered those two words, the pale, enormous ghostly hand lunged at Ba Chi in the same manner as before.

Eight feet stood there quietly, his dark eyes fixed on the flying ghost hand.

"The same attack? How could that possibly work?"

Yotsuya Miko's heart, which had relaxed upon seeing Yohoshi arrive, plummeted to the bottom.

In terms of pure strength, neither her Hundred Eyes nor Night Star's Ghost Hand can rival Eight Foot.

After all, this is a legendary monster from Sakura Province with a high reputation and a history of hundreds of years, far superior to ordinary evil spirits.

Yotsuya Miko is only a beginner in exorcism, but she understands that the same attack will only produce the same effect.

Night Star can summon the Pale Ghost Hand twice, which shows its power is indeed very strong.

But how long can it last?

When his power is exhausted, their fate will still remain unchanged.

Just as Yotsuya Miko was thinking this, Yohoshi suddenly did something that surprised her.

While Hachisho's attention was entirely focused on the Pale Demon's hand, Yoru had already silently and imperceptibly circled around to Hachisho's back.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a silver nail from his pocket, and without the slightest pity in his eyes, he directly inserted the silver nail into the back of his chest.

The eight-foot-tall body lay sprawled on the ground, emitting a piercing scream that made Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama feel as if their eardrums were about to be punctured.

The pale ghost hand gave her no chance to take advantage of the situation. Its sharp black nails, like blades, pierced through her eight-foot-long limbs, pinning her firmly to the ground.

After finishing all this, Ye Xing squatted down, looked directly into Ba Chi's terrifying, pitch-black eyes, and smiled as she spoke.

"As a professional exorcist, the ghost hand is just one of my tools."

"The true weapon against evil spirits is myself."

038 A Flexible Moral Bottom Line

Watching Yasakatsu, whose limbs were pinned by the pale demon's fingernails, writhing and screaming pitifully, both Yotsuya Miko and Yuigahama Yui felt a pang of pity.

Ye Xing maintained her smile, shrugged, and said nonchalantly.

"Although it wasn't the kind of insertion I was hoping for, judging from the current situation, I can say that I've inserted myself into the eight-foot-tall man. New achievement, GET."

The man remained silent, staring intently at his face with his jet-black pupils.

Yoru turned her head and noticed the somewhat reluctant looks on Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya's faces. She chuckled and shook her head.

"Why do you all act like this? Evil spirits feel no pain, just look..."

At this point, Ye Xing took out a short dagger made of jujube wood from his pocket and stabbed it directly into his eight-foot arm.

"Woo!!!"

Amidst the eight-foot-long, agonizing roar, Ye Xing smiled at the two women in the distance.

"Look, she doesn't feel any pain at all."

Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama exchanged a glance: "..."

Isn't that person screaming in agony?

Furthermore, their bodies began to tremble, and their faces began to contort.

How could this not hurt?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

If Ye Xing says it doesn't hurt, then it doesn't hurt.

Yui Yuigahama was still in shock and couldn't even speak.

While Yotsuya Miko is a gentle and kind person, she is clearly not so saintly as to sympathize with Hachisaku, who just tried to kill them.

Looking at the eight-foot-tall figure pinned to the ground, Ye Xing really wanted to try making the other person do addition and subtraction.

He wanted to take a look.

Between the eight-foot-tall man and the white-haired one, who is in more pain?

But then I thought, I should save the fun for later.

Now, there are more important things to do.

"Can you stand up?"

Upon hearing Yoru's question, Yotsuya Miko gritted her teeth, stood up shakily, leaned against the wall to support her weak body, and nodded.

"Well, I'm not very good at fighting, but walking shouldn't be a big problem."

"Then let's go inside and talk first."

Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama's expression changed. Looking at the eight-foot-long figure on the ground and the pale demon hand pressing down on the other person, she stammered.

"Night, Night Star, you, you don't mean to... bring these two things to my house, do you?"

"That's not it."

Ye Xing pointed outside the corridor and said calmly.

"But you can take a look. I think this is probably no longer the apartment building where you live."

Yui Yuigahama walked to the railing of the corridor and looked in the direction Yohoshi was pointing. The sight before her made her cover her lips in shock, and her pupils dilated.

"What...what's going on...?"

Her apartment building is located in a very bustling area of Kyoto, and you can see many office buildings through the corridor.

But now.

All Yui Yuigahama could see was the pitch-black city of Kyoto.

There was not a ray of light, only a thick, churning darkness, and beneath the black waves, something that seemed to be stirring restlessly.

"How could this be... Even at a little past one o'clock, it shouldn't be like this..."

Kyoto is a very prosperous metropolis, not some rural place.

Even if it's past 1 a.m., it's impossible that there are no lights at all, not even the streetlights.

The city of Kyoto, shrouded in darkness, exuded an eerie and deathly atmosphere, sending a chill down Yui Yuigahama's spine.

"Let's go inside first."

Ye Xing didn't say much, but casually waved his right hand, and the pale ghost hand lifted the tall eight-foot figure up like a toy.

"Elbow, come into the house with me."

Seeing Yoruhoshi carry Yasakani into the house, Yui Yuigahama also walked to Yotsuya Miko's side, reached out to support her, and led Sabre into the house. She carefully closed the door, hesitated for a moment, and then locked it twice.

Yotsuya Miko sat on the sofa in the living room, and before she could even catch her breath, she couldn't wait to ask.

"What exactly is going on outside?"

Ye Xing remained calm and unhurried. He first had the pale ghost hand stand the eight-foot-tall object upright and firmly nail it to the wall before slowly explaining.

Have you ever wondered why a 'door' is shaped like a door?

These words left Yui Yuigahama, who was unaware of the situation, completely dumbfounded.

Why is a door shaped like a door?

Why is a fish a fish?

Why are humans human?

Zi Feiyu, know the joy of fish?

You are not me, how can you know that I do not know the joy of fish?

You are not me, how can you know that I don't know you, or that you don't know the joy of fish?

You are not me...

Infinite nesting dolls?

Did Ye Xing also study philosophy?

Yotsuya Miko shook her head and replied directly.
