Just as she was about to transform back into a blade and return to her master's waist, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye that instantly ignited a chilling killing intent in her eyes.

"Master, now that I have returned, please give this to me."

"Oh, this is it. Here, take it."

Yoru didn't pay any attention and simply handed the shower head in his hand to Onimaru Kunitsuna.

After taking it, the latter looked at the round, metallic object with undisguised murderous intent in her eyes. She clasped her delicate white hands together and, with a teeth-grinding sound, crushed the shower head into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, Onimaru Kunitsuna brushed a strand of long black hair behind his ear, gave Yohoshi a graceful bow, and resumed his gentle Yamato Nadeshiko demeanor, covering his mouth and chuckling softly.

Thank you for your understanding.

Immediately afterwards, Onimaru Kunitsuna transformed back into his original form and returned to Yohoshi's waist.

"Seriously, taking a showerhead as an opponent, what a twisted sword."

Ye Xing chuckled and shook her head, then slowly walked towards the exit of the underground parking lot.

.......

When Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was on the top floor, arrived at the hotel lobby on the first floor with the other guests, she discovered something very strange.

around...

No trace was left.

As usual, there was no blood, no gruesome human corpses, no terrifying evil spirits in the lobby, and no smell of blood in the air.

Even the collapsed elevator has been restored to its original state.

It was as if everything that had happened in the past few tens of minutes had never occurred.

"Were those all...hallucinations?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned slightly, glanced at the other guests who were equally puzzled, and thought that no matter what happened, what had just happened was definitely not an illusion.

While everything else remained unchanged, there wasn't a single staff member in the hotel lobby.

There is no doubt that the innocent people killed by the evil spirits were not hallucinations.

The Otherworld is a world constructed based on the real world, formed from negative impressions and emotions in people's minds.

This means that the scenes in the alternate world are based on reality, not the other way around.

At this point, the hotel in the Otherworld might still be that bloody and cruel place.

But once people in the real world gradually develop a normal impression of the hotel, it will be like overwriting computer files, covering up the hotel in the alternate world.

That's equivalent to refreshing.

The traces left in the inner world cannot be found in the real world.

.......

Meanwhile, Shibuya Shopping Street.

Miko Yotsuya, Mai Sakurajima, and Rio Futaba, who were keeping watch, heard a sudden, venomous roar that echoed through the heavy rain.

"coming."

Yotsuya Miko stood up, placing her right hand on the hilt of Mikazuki Munechika at her waist, her golden eyes revealing a solemn expression.

"Be prepared, don't let them get away."

"Yes, got it."

Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima nodded slightly; without needing to communicate, the three of them were already in perfect sync.

At this moment, they did not use their ability to materialize their souls, but remained in their normal state.

On the one hand, it was to conserve strength, build up energy, and prepare for battle.

On the other hand, Ye Xing once said something.

"When the battle between evil spirits and exorcists begins is determined by the exorcists."

Without unleashing their ability to materialize their souls, a psychic's aura is no different from that of an ordinary human.

In the cities of the real world, almost every place still retains a large amount of human traces.

Under the cover of this aura, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for an evil spirit to determine whether there are humans in the vicinity—a completely impossible task.

Of course, that's a different story if it's in the other world.

After all, there are no living people in the other world, and any human entering it will alert the evil spirits.

Rio Futaba formulated her plan based on this point.

The greatest advantage the evil spirits who manipulated this event had was the time difference before they sensed the presence of the three people, which pulled this area into the underworld.

Although he didn't have the ability to observe with a hundred eyes, as a professional exorcist, he was still fully equipped.

Rio Futaba held the binoculars, while Mai Sakurajima and Miko Yotsuya stood on either side of her, holding umbrellas over her.

Without needing any special reminder, the pale ghost hand had already shrunk on its own, becoming the size of a human hand, and disappeared into some unknown corner.

In the pouring rain, Rio Futaba stared intently at the "door" on the street, barely blinking for a long time, afraid of missing any suspicious trace.

"Zi...Zi..."

The streetlights on both sides of the street suddenly flickered a few times.

After a burst of blinding sparks, the light disappeared.

A naked, emaciated figure, dressed in tattered gray pants, appeared out of nowhere and slowly walked towards the "door" from the other end of the street.

"That should be the target."

Rio Futaba could tell at a glance that the other party was definitely not human.

One reason is that in this torrential rain, it's absolutely impossible for a normal person to walk so slowly without even an umbrella.

Of course, the more important reason is that although the other party is not as distorted as an ordinary evil spirit, the skin of its entire upper body has been painted black.

"This is... Tufo."

Faced with this evil spirit—whether it came from the underworld, composed of people's negative impressions, or originally belonged to the real world—who was infamous and ranked among the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the expressions of Rio Futaba, Mai Sakurajima, and Miko Yotsuya all became solemn.

"Wait a little longer..."

Rio Futaba, holding binoculars, observed as they made their way towards the "door," gradually approaching the place where the three were hiding. She suppressed the tension in her chest and tried her best to remain calm.

1, 2, 3, 4...

For some reason, although Tu Fu's movements seemed slow, his speed of progress was actually very fast.

In just four seconds, he covered a distance of nearly twenty meters.

Seeing that the other party was less than ten meters away from where they were, Rio Futaba said softly.

"It's now."

"Tear off the disguise, Bone Woman."

As Rio Futaba uttered the words of the Soul's True Name, the Bone Woman instantly appeared behind her.

A cage resembling a skeleton rose from where Tufo stood.

"Ok?"

Originally slow-moving like an old man, Tu Fu reacted extremely quickly. He squatted down slightly, and his withered and thin legs instantly swelled into terrifying muscles, ready to slip away.

"Break free from your restraints, Suzuhiko-hime!"

The battle had begun, and Mai Sakurajima no longer needed to hide. Almost at the same time as Rio Futaba, she summoned her Soul True Name.

Suzuhiko appeared, wearing a light pink gauze dress and holding a light pink paper umbrella in her hand. With a gentle sway, cherry blossom petals formed by spiritual energy surrounded Tofuku's body.

Under Suzuhiko's charm, Tofu was momentarily stunned, but regained his senses in less than a breath.

But that's enough.

The bone cage created by the Bone Woman has trapped Tu Fu inside. Sharp bone spikes instantly extend from each of the pale bones, like the Iron Maiden, a famous Western torture device, piercing towards the evil spirit's body.

"See you!"

"Ok, I know."

Yotsuya Miko opened her eyes, and several strange colors flashed in her golden eyes. Eye-shaped patterns appeared on her fair wrists.

She leaped down from the five-meter-high floor, landing lightly on the ground. Without hesitation, she drew her Mikazuki Munechika sword from her waist.

The pale gold blade reflected a gleaming light in the rain.

"cut."

Yotsuya Miko flashed into view before the bone cage, her golden eyes devoid of emotion. She simply gripped the hilt of Mikazuki Munechika's sword with both hands and slashed it towards the Tofuku.

At that moment, it seemed as if the raindrops were split apart by that single cut.

The dull thud of bone spurs sinking into flesh was contrasted with the dazzling pale golden glint of the blade.

Tu Fo stood there, his face contorted and twisted.

Just as it was about to release the other "door" within its body and retract the "door" on the street back into its body, returning to its peak power, the view in front of it slowly split in two.

The next second, the powerful evil spirit that had merged the two "doors" finally understood.

What was divided in two was not the field of vision.

It's your own body.

What rang in his ears was the sound of a knife tip piercing its head, and the words spoken softly by Yotsuya Miko.

"A professional exorcist never forgets to finish off the enemy."

189 Tokyo's Nemesis: L's Keen Intuition

Watching Yotsuya Miko wield Mikazuki Munechika, cleaving the Tofuku in two with a single stroke, and then piercing the opponent's head with another, Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio both admired her calm and professional demeanor.

"So handsome."

As expected of someone with exceptionally strong mental fortitude, even when facing terrifying evil spirits without any power, Yotsuya Miko remained completely unfazed.

The level of professionalism in this exorcism is already somewhat reminiscent of Ye Xing's style.
