From the moment Night Star failed to follow the other party's plan and was killed by a powerful evil spirit born from the underworld...

The outcome of this battle is already quite clear.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if all the psychics in the Superpower Society, as well as those who are just ordinary people, are killed, then the moment Yoruichi emerges from the inner world will be the death of Hannya and the other evil spirit.

What is it for?

Finally, on the afternoon of the eighth day, news arrived.

"Suspicious person spotted! Can you hear me? I've spotted a suspicious person over here!"

Upon hearing Soichiro Yagami's anxious voice coming through the walkie-talkie, the members who were sitting in Touma Kazusa's music room immediately perked up.

Rio Futaba made a shushing gesture, signaling everyone to quiet down, before pressing the communication button on the walkie-talkie.

"Chief Yagami, what's the matter?"

The walkie-talkie not only carried Soichiro Yagami's reply, but also the faint sound of urgent police sirens.

"Kyoto Tower was attacked by unidentified assailants. According to the footage from the surveillance cameras, one of them matches your description as a woman around thirty years old, and the other is a man with a long knife hanging from his waist."

"These two men killed the security guards at Kyoto Tower, as well as several police officers patrolling nearby who tried to stop them. It appears that the bullets were not fatal to the two men. They had entered Kyoto Tower five minutes earlier and taken all the tourists inside hostage!"

“Our Metropolitan Police Department dispatched heavy firepower units and helicopters, but due to the height of Kyoto Tower and the influence of airflow, the snipers on the helicopters could not maintain a stable aim. Moreover, if it is really as you say... that they are not human... we cannot inflict fatal damage on them, and it is up to you to handle this.”

Rio Futaba nodded and said calmly.

"Before we arrive at the scene, we hope you can do your best to ensure the safety of the hostages, and it would be best not to send police officers up to their deaths."

"I...I will try my best."

"Not just try, but absolutely."

After the walkie-talkie communication was cut off, Rio Futaba stood up, looked at the members waiting for orders, took a deep breath, and suppressed her nervous emotions.

"It seems this is their last stand. Whether Night Star is here or not... we must win."

"Ah."

Mai Sakurajima stood up, her face resolute.

"It will win."

Rio Futaba nodded and began to arrange the battle plan.

“Miko, me, and Mai-senpai, if the three of us can hide our identities, then the three of us should enter Kyoto Tower. Since something like this will definitely be broadcast live on TV, it’s best to avoid exposing our identities.”

"And there's Lady Eight-Foot. She can evade the 'observation' of ordinary people, and she's strong enough to come with us into the Kyoto Tower."

The members had no objections to Rio Futaba's decision.

Futaba, Miko, and Mai Sakurajima are the three strongest fighters. Of course, Yui Yuigahama is also very strong, but she has not yet mastered the power to materialize her soul and create a disguise, so she cannot hide her identity.

It's not really appropriate to make a move in such a public setting.

After arranging the frontal combat teams, Rio Futaba looked at the remaining members and slowly spoke.

"Miss Yukinoshita, Yui, you two are responsible for protecting Hina's safety."

"Hina, you don't need to enter Kyoto Tower. Just stay around there. If the enemies try to escape, I hope you can summon lightning to hinder them. Can you do that?"

Hina Amano pulled down her sleeves, her face smiling, but her eyes held a complex expression.

"Yeah, no problem."

"That's it."

Rio Futaba led the members of the Superpower Club towards the door, her expression solemn.

Let's put an end to this incident.

..........

Meanwhile, in the Otherworld.

Tamamo-no-Mae watched Yoru-no-Shiki devour an evil spirit whole, leaving nothing behind. She was already quite used to such scenes.

During this week, Ye Xing basically only did two things.

eat.

The evil spirits eat, and they also eat human food. They chase after the evil spirits everywhere and devour them voraciously.

Feed.

The objects being fed are...

Tamamo-mae.

Whether Yoruichi was full or not, Tamamo-no-Mae didn't know, but she herself was definitely very full.

"He's almost fully recovered."

Watching Yoruichi knead another evil spirit into a ball and then smear it on the black blade of Onimaru Kunitsuna, allowing it to be absorbed into his body, the nicks on the blade were almost healed to their original state, and Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly became a little curious.

"Yoroshi-kun... since your... can enhance my power, wouldn't it be faster to recover if I gave it directly to Onimaru Kunitsuna than this method?"

"What kind of indecent words are those?"

Yoru turned to look at Tamamo-no-Mae with an expression of disbelief.

"Onimaru Kunitsuna, she's a sword! You want me to wield a sword!?"

Tamamo-no-Mae: "...That's not what I meant...I meant...never mind, let's not talk about it."

Just as the two were joking and chatting casually, Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly saw a black mist swirling around the tall tower in the distance.

"That is..."

After seven days of exploration, not only Yoruichi, but Tamamo-no-Mae also gained a deeper understanding of the patterns of various phenomena in the inner world.

The black fog will not disappear; it will only fade or intensify over time.

According to Ye Xing's analysis, when the black fog becomes thicker, it corresponds to night in the real world, and when it thins out, it means that daytime has arrived.

In certain specific locations, such as the mental hospital that was once avoided by evil spirits from the underworld and was filled with powerful and insane evil spirits, but has now been completely wiped out by Night Star, leaving not even a trace of evil spirits, the black mist never fades and always remains in a viscous and disgusting form.

While this phenomenon doesn't allow us to precisely determine the power of the evil spirits in the area, it at least helps us understand which areas are dangerous and which are safe.

Of course, this so-called safety is only relative to other places in the Otherworld.

In the Otherworld, there is no absolutely safe place.

Seeing the black mist on the tower growing thicker and thicker, almost condensing into a semi-fluid state, Tamamo-no-Mae immediately realized that something extremely frightening was probably happening in the corresponding location in the real world, which was why it caused such a change in the underworld.

"time to go."

Ye Xing stood up and dusted himself off.

His right arm has long since recovered completely.

Tamamo-no-Mae asked hesitantly.

"Where...are you going?"

Night Star replied with a smile.

"Kyoto Tower."

"But..."

Tamamo-no-Mae gazed at the distant tower, her pupils turning into fox-like vertical lines, allowing her to clearly see hundreds and thousands of twisted black shadows surging towards the tower.

"Many evil spirits are attracted by the black mist in that place... If we go now..."

"It's time to get back to the real world."

Looking at the densely packed, seemingly crazed evil spirits drawn by the black mist on the road leading to Kyoto Tower, Yoruhoshi sheathed Onimaru Kunitsuna and muttered to himself.

"Hmm... We need to conserve our spiritual energy as much as possible, saving it for those guys on the other side. Onimaru Kunitsuna hasn't fully recovered yet, so it's best not to get him involved in the battle. In that case..."

At this point, Ye Xing took out a silver nail about thirty centimeters long from his pocket, looked at the hundreds and thousands of evil spirits gathered together, and showed a kind smile.

"It seems it's time for a traditional exorcism."

...........

On the other side, below Kyoto Tower.

"Kyoto TV, Kyoto TV, is broadcasting this live!"

Whether it was a coincidence or because he was promoted after the Teru Teru Bozu killer incident, the reporter this time was the same one who hosted the live broadcast last time, and even the photographer was the same person.

"According to reporters, the situation is extremely complicated. More than two hundred tourists are trapped on the top floor of Kyoto Tower. The kidnappers have not yet made any demands to the Metropolitan Police Department, but..."

Just as the reporter was speaking, a white shadow suddenly appeared beside her like a ghost and pulled her away from her original position.

Before the female reporter could react, she heard a muffled thud.

"boom!"

A middle-aged man, or rather, a body that was originally shaped like a middle-aged man, fell to the ground with a loud thud, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and he turned into a pile of minced meat.

"This this..."

The female reporter was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, staring at the bloody scene before her, and couldn't help but scream in terror.

Rio Futaba, who had just pulled her away and saved her life, looked up at the top of Kyoto Tower and saw Hannya, who was in human form, grinning at her with that demon mask.

"This guy..."

Suppressing her anger, Rio Futaba exchanged a glance with Miko Yotsuya and Mai Sakurajima beside her, and walked straight into the Kyoto Tower.

Before the police officers on the scene could stop him, Commander-in-Chief Souichirou Yagami spoke in a deep voice.

"Let these three people in."

"But..."

"No buts."

Watching Rio Futaba, Mai Sakurajima, and Miko Yotsuya, who had changed into disguises and whose identities were no longer recognizable, walking towards the Kyoto Tower, Soichiro Yagami sighed heavily and muttered to himself.

"I'll leave it to you."

The decision to let the other party in was made by him, the on-site commander.

If any serious injury or death occurs among the hostages...
