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

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita chuckle as she uttered those words, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression became complicated. She couldn't help but tuck a strand of long hair behind her ear and composed herself.

"Aren't you...aren't you scared at all?"

"What's so scary? Are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly and gave a soft snort.

"Hmph, it's just a power outage and a minor earthquake, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Still like to act tough, Yukino~"

Yang smiled, stood up and walked over. Ignoring Yukino's slight struggle, he pulled her into his arms, stroked Yukino's long hair, and said gently.

"Be good, be good, big sister will protect you~"

"Hmph, who needs your protection? I'm not a child anymore."

"In my heart, you've always been a cute little sister who loves to show off."

"You're not a psychic, so even if something happens, you can't protect me, right?"

After a few seconds of silence, Yukinoshita Haruno replied with a smile.

"As the older sister, my desire to protect my younger sister is incredibly strong, so don't underestimate me."

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was about to reply, she heard strange noises coming from outside the apartment door.

Like...

Something seemed to be being dragged.

"That is..."

"Shhh."

Yang made a shushing gesture, quietly stood up, walked to the apartment door, and looked out through the peephole.

The sight that came into view startled her, causing her pupils to shrink slightly.

The once clean and tidy corridors of the upscale apartment building were now covered in thick, sticky blood.

A strange man, tall and dressed in tattered burlap clothes, with dark skin and hair that obscured his face, was pacing back and forth in the corridor.

Yang Nai glanced down and saw that the other person was dragging something along the ground.

Because of the dim lighting, it took her a while to vaguely make out what it was.

The upper body of a person.

The blood flowing from the severed area at the waist of the corpse was the source that completely stained the corridor floor with a blood-red river.

Although Yukino was horrified, she remained calm and did not make a sound. She turned around, walked up to Yukino Yukinoshita, lowered her voice, and told her what she had seen.

After hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita also felt a deep sense of fear.

"this..."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm, and walked to the window, looking out at the sky.

Although the dark clouds obscured the bright moon, the light shining through was not red, but rather its usual pure white.

"Not the other world..."

As an internal member of the Superpower Society, Yukino Yukinoshita remembered all the important information. Although she had never entered the Underworld herself, she knew its most distinctive features: the large swaths of black mist and the red moon in the sky.

Since neither he nor Yang Nai had entered the inner world, yet they could still see that evil-like creature, it meant that the creature wasn't one that had fused with a "gate," but rather possessed a human body and could ignore the laws of "observation"...

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was pondering what to do, a sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Dong dong dong dong."

At first, there was only a soft knock on the door.

The next time it rang, it sounded like someone banging on a door.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at the security door of the apartment, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her thoughts completely frozen at that moment.

227 The True Feelings of the Yukinoshita Sisters, Rio Futaba Makes a Grand Appearance

Yang Nai's hands trembled slightly, but then she picked up her water glass, took a sip, and said with a smile in her voice.

"This is troublesome. You live on such a high floor that you can't even escape by jumping out of the window. If you were living in a detached house, it would be much easier. Of course, with your poor physical strength, you probably can't outrun the guys outside. It seems we're in a desperate situation."

Yukino was stunned for a moment, and her usually emotionless face showed a rare look of panic and anxiety.

"It's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to joke?"

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at the security door that was being smashed and making a loud banging noise, her mind racing.

If the information collected by the Excess Society so far is accurate, then the evil spirits that merge with humans, can ignore the laws of "observation," and directly kill humans are a very rare breed.

Neither she nor her sister possessed psychic abilities.

Based on the patterns of evil spirits, there's no reason for them to target ordinary people like themselves and Yang Nai.

So why?

Yukino Yukinoshita has a very good mind, even an outstanding one.

She immediately came to a conclusion.

Is it possible...

Were they targeting me?

It's not impossible.

Although Yukino Yukinoshita is just an ordinary high school girl with an awkward personality and breasts like her father, she is surrounded by psychics.

If one believes that this special evil spirit possesses intelligence equal to that of humans, then taking oneself, who belongs to the same club as Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, and others, hostage... such a shameless act is entirely in line with the style of an evil spirit.

So to say...

Did I drag Yang Nai down with me?

Thinking of this, Yukino Yukinoshita clenched her teeth, her body trembling, but she still managed to say it.

"Yin...Yin, hide in your room...don't come out before dawn."

"What do you want to do?"

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, suppressing her fear, and whispered.

"That guy outside... is after me. There's no need for us both to be in danger. Besides, if I'm alone, he probably wants to use me as leverage to threaten Futaba and Miko. I probably won't..."

"Still putting on a brave face?"

Haruno stood up and patted Yukino's head, as if she were coaxing a child.

"Haven't I told you so many times? You're just too stubborn. Even at a time like this, you're still being stubborn. Do you want to open the door and offer yourself up to that evil spirit? That's an evil spirit. Can you guarantee it won't kill me on the spot?"

"I......"

Yukino Yukinoshita's lips trembled as she took a deep breath to gather her thoughts before slowly speaking.

"Let's delay a little longer... I believe that Futaba, Miko, Yui, Mai-senpai, and... and Yohoshi... will definitely come."

"Oh?"

With a hint of amusement in his eyes, Yang looked at Yukino and said meaningfully.

"Given your personality, you would never have said such a thing before, and you would never have thought of relying on others. Even as my older sister, you treated me like an outsider. But now... hmm?"

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't refute it.

As Haruno said, she would never think of relying on others for help like she does now. Ultimately, it's because she doesn't trust others, not even her own older sister Haruno.

Yukino under such snow...

Yet, in such a life-or-death matter, they place their hopes on someone other than themselves.

This was something that would have been completely impossible before.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

The evil spirits outside the door did not stop banging on the door; instead, their force increased, even causing dents and deformities on the sturdy security door.

"It's noisy."

Yang Nai frowned slightly, looking displeased. The next second, he suddenly held his forehead, shook his head, and muttered to himself.

"Tch...that voice is back again..."

Seeing Yukino's appearance and hearing what she was saying to herself, Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly seemed to realize something and said in disbelief.

"You...you heard the voice in your head? That was..."

"I know."

Before Yukino could finish speaking, Haruno interrupted her softly.

"Ye Xing mentioned to me that this is what they call... the awakening of soul materialization, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes trembled.

"You...you mean...this isn't the first time you've heard this voice?"

"Yes."

Yang Nai replied with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

"Let me think... It seems like it's been since the day you joined the Superpower Club and Xiaojing told me the news, I've occasionally heard this voice in my head. Honestly, talking to yourself like that can be bothersome."

"But...why..."

Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback by the sudden outpouring of information and was momentarily dazed.

Why...don't you choose to awaken?

"What kind of question is this?"

Yang Nai shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yukino, why have you become so stupid since joining the Xyz Club? Of course I wouldn't choose to become a psychic, what's the benefit of that?"
