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

Doesn't it mean it has no combat ability whatsoever?

Is it going to be fine so soon?

what's the situation?

Ye Xing looked at Ba Chi, who was huddled in the corner, not making any move and looking timid, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, seeing how weak and pained I was just now, you didn't take the opportunity to attack. It seems you're truly convinced. So, we can tentatively assume that the information you just provided is true."

Yotsuya Miko was stunned for a moment before she understood.

So, Ye Xing's extremely painful appearance just now was all an act?

The purpose was to put on a show for Ba Chi.

If Yashiro were to launch an attack, it would prove that the information she provided under torture was also likely false.

Even evil spirits are plotting.

As expected, Ye Xing is a mature exorcist.

I think so.

But Yotsuya Miko felt a strange anger rising within her, and she couldn't help but clench her right fist and swing it forcefully, but it landed lightly on Yohoshi's shoulder.

"Couldn't you have told me beforehand? You made me worry for nothing."

"Look what you said."

Ye Xing remained as languid as ever, saying nonchalantly.

"Summoning the ghost hand twice and maintaining it for such a long time really took a toll on me."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko suddenly remembered that she had a question she wanted to ask, and asked curiously.

"By the way, how many times can that pale ghost hand of yours summon?"

"Hmm... I haven't tried it much, but I'd estimate around twenty times."

"Twenty times!?"

Yotsuya was surprised to see her son.

"The huge consumption you mentioned, so it's only one-tenth?"

"of course."

Ye Xing nodded with a serious expression.

"Haven't you heard a word?"

"What?"

"For a seasoned RPG player, 99% HP is considered low on health, and below 95% HP is considered very low on health."

040 A World Dominated by Evil Spirits

After this round of banter, Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya both felt much more relaxed.

Ye Xing shared the information about this world that he had extracted from Yasa with the two of them.

Throughout the story, Sabre remained obediently squatting on the ground, wagging his tail enthusiastically at Nightstar.

Meanwhile, Hachi was huddled in the corner, his eyes filled with terror, like a wounded lamb, making one feel a little sorry for him.

Just as Night Star had guessed.

This is the "gate" within Kyoto, connecting to the other world.

Even Ba Chi doesn't know exactly how long this world has existed.

But one thing is certain.

The underworld, hell, netherworld, and netherworld mentioned in legends and stories—all these terms related to the afterlife—actually refer to this world.

This place is essentially a one-to-one replica of Kyoto, except that the inhabitants of this city are not humans, but evil spirits and ghosts.

"But..."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko frowned.

“When we encountered ‘doors’ before, we never experienced anything like being transported to another world. Moreover, this time, there were no ‘doors’ near me and Yui, so how did we end up in Kyoto City on this other side?”

Ye Xing shook his head and pointed to Ba Chi, who was curled up in the corner.

"Actually, you, Yui, and Sabre have already come into contact with the 'Door,' you just don't know it."

Yotsuya Miko was taken aback by what she heard, then looked at the eight-foot-tall figure in the corner with an incredulous expression in her eyes, and murmured.

"You, you mean... there's a 'door' inside her body!?"

"Yes, that's the idea. The reason the three of us came to this world is actually due to the fact that Yasha couldn't control the power of the 'Gate,' and it was a result of a series of coincidences."

Night Star nodded.

"Logically speaking, an evil spirit of the level of Yasakani is actually only on par with your Hyakumoku. The reason she was able to kill your Hyakumoku instantly is because of the power brought by the 'gate' in her body."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had initially thought that her awakened Hundred Eyes was too useless, which was why she couldn't defeat Eight-Foot.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Eight-Foot Master is very famous.

But that's mainly because, for reasons that are not easy to talk about, new works are constantly being released.

Actually.

The eight-foot-tall demon can only fool children by disguising its voice; it is far from being a truly powerful demon.

It turns out it wasn't a physical manifestation of my own soul, but rather a piece of waste.

Rather, the enemy has mutated.

Thinking about it this way, Yotsuya Miko felt much more relaxed.

"Wait a moment."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yui Yuigahama, who was tilting her head back with a look of understanding but not quite, suddenly spoke up.

"If that's the case, why was Yohoshi-kun also dragged into this?"

Before Yoruhoshi could explain, Yui Yuigahama muttered to herself.

"Hmm...and how did you know that Miko summoned Hyakume? Didn't you arrive later?"

"Could it be that..."

Yui Yuigahama gazed innocently at the night star, then suddenly realized.

"I understand. You must have been worried about Miko's safety, so you've been waiting nearby all this time. You've been hiding so that she can awaken her abilities smoothly, right?"

"It's just a coincidence."

Ye Xing maintained a calm and composed expression.

"I just picked up a request on the side. Yuihama-san, did you know that the grandmother of a little girl in your apartment building recently passed away?"

"Really? I've never heard of that."

"That's true. After all, it's an apartment building, not a compound. It's normal that the neighbors aren't familiar with each other."

Ye Xing gave a noncommittal reply, and then spoke.

"After the little girl's grandmother passed away, she said that she often heard her grandmother's voice in the middle of the night, calling her name repeatedly, and she also showed symptoms similar to sleepwalking. Fortunately, her parents had the habit of locking the security door before going to bed, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"In short, after the hospital examination yielded no results, the little girl's parents found Old Deng, who then found me. With the information you provided, I was able to confirm that there are evil spirits in this area, and they are not ordinary evil spirits."

"It's all just a coincidence."

Yui Yuigahama covered her mouth and chuckled twice, then leaned close to Miko Yotsuya's ear and whispered a teasing remark.

"Kimi, even though Yoshiki-san said that, she still cares about you a lot."

"Cough cough."

Yotsuya Miko's face also flushed slightly, and she coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Immediately afterward, before Yui Yuigahama could speak, Miko Yotsuya asked a question that was half sincere and half a way of changing the subject.

"So now, how do we get out of here?"

"It's very simple."

Night Star shrugged.

"Besides relying on luck and probability like before, there is another reliable way to travel between worlds, which is to wait here until five o'clock in the morning."

Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama asked in confusion, "Why is it five o'clock?"

Have you heard of the Hour of the Demon?

"What about the Demon King?"

"When the devil comes."

"At what time?"

Ye Xing rolled her eyes.

"Stop doing this nonsense."

Having studied many ancient books of strange tales, Yotsuya Miko had naturally heard of the term "time of encountering demons," and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"I remember that the time of 'twilight' refers to dusk, doesn't it?"

"Yes."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and explained.

"However, that is the time when evil spirits can appear in the mortal world, while the time when ordinary humans like Yuihama can pass through the 'door' and return to the mortal world is the opposite of dusk, roughly between five and seven in the morning, which I call the time of meeting people."

“As for psychics like you and me, we can freely travel between the two worlds, whether we are facing demons or people, through the ‘door’.”
