Shoko Makinohara's smile grew even brighter. She raised her chin at Touma Kazusa and Yukino Yukinoshita beside her, looking slightly provocative. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was quite clear.

Ha ha.

Although I haven't officially joined the club yet, and I met Brother Yexing the latest, I can see the same things as him and have the same "observation" ability.

Do you have any?

whee.

"This guy is so infuriating..."

Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who has a cool and aloof personality and has not yet participated in the fierce competition, felt a pang of bitterness and anger upon seeing Shoko Makinohara's appearance, and couldn't help but clench her fists.

Touma Kazusa was more direct. Without saying a word, she silently stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Makinohara Shoko's wrist. Her delicate, slender eyes revealed a hint of coldness as she coldly uttered two words.

"Let go."

With a sweet smile, Makinohara Shoko released Yohoshi's arm and asked with a charming smile.

"By the way, Touma-neechan, what's your relationship with Yohoshi-nii? Is he jealous?"

"me..."

Touma Kazusa's lips were slightly parted, her eyes showing a conflicted look. She glanced at Yohoshi beside her and hesitated.

"I...he and I...are friends."

"Oh, I see~"

Shoko Makinohara smiled and said softly.

"Since we're friends, I'd like to hug Yohoshi-nii. Why did Touma-neechan stop me? That's strange."

"I..."

The goddess of war, Touma Kazusa, was defeated.

Yukino Yukinoshita had absolutely no interest in getting involved in the fight, and simply said in a flat tone.

"Since neither Touma nor I can 'observe' it, it proves that the opening of this 'door' has not yet reached a level that would seriously affect the real world, so the danger level is not high, right?"

"Correct."

Yoru nods, acknowledging Yukino Yukinoshita's analysis.

Doors that are not fully opened cannot be "observed" by ordinary people, and the black mist emanating from the inner world through the cracks is naturally the same.

Although Takanashi Touka can sense the anomaly, it doesn't mean she's a psychic. It's just that she spends the most time in the kitchen every day and has the closest connection to that area, nothing more.

"Then let's get ready to begin. You can all come and take a look; perhaps you'll find something useful."

Ye Xing walked to the door of the cold storage and reached out to open it.

What comes into view is a room of about fifteen square meters in size, with several metal shelves on which various food ingredients are placed.

Deep within the white, frigid air of the cold storage was an old-fashioned wooden "door," its opening about 30 percent full, from which the thick, black mist of the inner world continuously seeped out.

"This is... the 'door'..."

With her ability to see ghosts, Makinohara Shoko could clearly see the scene before her. There was no fear on her face; instead, she felt a strange excitement and exhilaration.

Finally, she was able to participate in the exorcism as well.

"The method to eliminate the 'door' is very simple. As long as you are a psychic with the ability to 'observe', you can do it by any means, whether it's burning, using bombs, or dismantling it by hand."

"The key is the person doing this, not the method of elimination, understand?"

Listening to Yohoshi's words, Yukino Yukinoshita, Kazusa Touma, and Shoko Makinohara all took it very seriously.

Only Takanashi Touka frowned slightly, because she could only see a few specks of black mist drifting in the air, and couldn't see any so-called "door".

From her perspective, these four people, especially the boy named Yohoshi, were behaving exactly like her younger sister Rikka, who suffered from severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

What nonsense are you spouting?

What "gate"? What "observation"?

From this perspective, ordinary people can't see it?

Those exorcists who swindle money often seem to use this excuse.

Despite her thoughts, Takanashi Touka could indeed see wisps of black mist floating in the air, which shouldn't exist inside the cold storage.

There is indeed something strange about this.

"Next..."

Just as Yohoshi was speaking, Takanashi Touka suddenly heard exclamations from pedestrians on the street outside.

When she turned her head, her red pupils suddenly contracted in surprise, and she could no longer maintain her composure.

"careful!"

From the other end of the road, a huge truck crashed straight through the median barrier, its accelerator floored, hurtling towards the Western restaurant.

"Night Star!"

Touma Kazusa's eyes flickered, and without even having time to think, she subconsciously took two steps to the side, blocking Yohoshi's path.

"boom!"

"Snap..."

"Wow..."

The loud crash of the wall breaking down and the crisp sound of shattering glass windows rang out at the same time.

The massive truck, with its enormous weight and the speed of its accelerator floored, was practically unstoppable. It smashed through the Western restaurant and headed straight for the cold storage.

Smoke and dust billowed, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

"What happened?"

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

Was it a traffic accident?

"Call the hospital right now, and... call the police right now!"

Although some pedestrians were in close proximity, no one was injured or killed.

Looking at the Western restaurant with a large hole smashed in it, and the still trembling walls, they instinctively moved away, afraid that the collapse would affect them.

Meanwhile, inside the cold storage.

Listening to the cacophony around her, Touka knew that the sudden, loud noise had caused her tinnitus.

Even my vision became blurry, and I felt dizzy.

Takanashi Touka held her forehead, struggling to stay upright, and first turned her head to look at herself.

Of the three girls, one was still standing, while the other two, though sitting on the ground, appeared to be unharmed.

"Buzzing..."

The tinnitus made Toshika's consciousness somewhat unclear.

After about ten seconds, the noise finally stopped.

After regaining her hearing, the first thing Takanashi Touka heard was a sentence she never expected.

"BYD, I almost crashed into another world."

Following the direction of the sound, Takanashi Touka looked towards the entrance of the cold storage. When she saw the scene before her, she was so shocked that her expression changed.

There stood a boy named Ye Xing, blocking the way of the large truck.

Two very obvious dents, resembling handprints, have appeared on the hard exterior of the truck.

One of them is at the point of impact where the force is applied directly.

The other one is located slightly higher and is concave towards the ground.

"This is......."

Noticing the cracks and crumbling ground where Yoru was standing, Touka Takanashi, though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, already pictured it in her mind.

This guy...

He stopped a large truck that was traveling at full speed and heading straight for him with his bare hands?

This is a human being!?

While Takanashi Touka was shocked and horrified, Yosei turned around as if nothing had happened, and even had the mood to smile and say something.

"I really don't know who taught these guys to manipulate truck drivers to run people over. It's so vicious. If I find out who taught them, I'll run them over at least a hundred times. It's too vicious."

Hearing the noise from the street outside, Ye Xing looked at the "door" in front of her and reached out her right hand.

"come out."

A pale, ghostly hand appeared instantly. With the movement of his right hand, his five fingers enveloped the "door" and crushed it into dust.

Immediately afterward, Ye Xing looked at the short, hunched evil spirit that had separated from the unconscious truck driver, whose mouth and nose were oozing blood, and fled to the street outside the Western restaurant, and quickly moved its right hand over.

The pale ghost hand flickered and appeared directly above the evil spirit's head.

"Die."

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the evil spirit's body was crushed, turning into a cloud of black mist that dissipated into the air.

After doing all this, Ye Xing turned around and looked at the group of people in front of him, and chuckled.

"The exorcism is complete. Are you all alright?"

Touma Kazusa shook her head. Although her tone sounded calm, her voice trembled slightly.

"Well, I'm fine."

To be honest, Touma Kazusa was brave enough.

After all, if a normal person is faced with a large truck traveling at full speed and heading straight for them, it would be quite an achievement if they didn't collapse to the ground in fear.

Touma Kazusa even thought about protecting Yohoshi.
