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

Today's news headlines are either like, "Heavy Hostage Deaths and Injuries: Who Should the Public Hold Accountable? Can the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department Live Up to the Public's Expectations?"

Or it could be something like, "The hostage situation has been perfectly resolved; the Kyoto City Police Department deserves commendation!"

In either case, there will always be plenty of headlines today.

"Don't fire yet!"

Upon seeing Soichiro Yagami being kidnapped by a mysterious person, the Metropolitan Police Department member who was the deputy commander on the scene immediately shouted into his walkie-talkie.

Snipers at various positions all had their fingers on the trigger.

Through the sniper rifle's scope, Ye Xing, who had just emerged, was completely locked onto.

"Don't be impulsive, we can discuss this!"

Concerned for Soichiro Yagami's safety, the deputy commander took two quick steps forward and offered words of reassurance.

"Just tell me what you need!"

To outsiders, Yosei simply led Yagami Souichirou to a spot in an open area.

In fact, right next to him was the "door".

Yosei remained silent, as did the Metropolitan Police Department members around him, fearing that it might provoke him and endanger Chief Soichiro Yagami's personal safety.

The room was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

After a few seconds, Ye Xing spoke calmly.

"Oh, by the way, Commander-in-Chief Night God, there's no one left in the building. And, I'll leave you with one last piece of advice."

"What?"

Yosei lifted Yagami Soichiro's body with one hand and threw him straight forward like trash.

Upon seeing this, the Metropolitan Police Department member who was acting as the deputy commander's pupils contracted, and he immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Fire is permitted!"

But in the end, he was still a step too late.

Night Star's figure gradually disappeared from the spot, leaving only the detonator he took out from his pocket with his right hand, and the last words he left behind.

"Art is an explosion."

"boom!!!"

As the detonator button was pressed, a deafening sound shattered the deathly silence in the room.

Inside the school building of the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten, bursts of blinding flames first erupted.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down.

First came the firelight.

Then there's the expansion of the building's exterior walls.

And the final crack, the collapse, the deafening roar.

"Chief Yagami!"

The vice commander ran forward two steps and pounced on Soichiro Yagami, raising his hands to cover his ears.

With a deafening roar that shook the ground, the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten building was reduced to ashes in a deafening crash.

"That is!?"

As he watched the building collapse into ruins, Soichiro Yagami's pupils dilated.

His heart was instantly filled with two completely different emotions: lingering fear and regret.

What frightens him is that if that mysterious person hadn't appeared, he would have led his men to storm the building.

After that, they will become the souls of the dead beneath the ruins.

Unfortunately.

After such a violent explosion, although there was no one else in the building and there was no need to worry about casualties, the traces at the scene must have been severely damaged and difficult to identify.

"Who exactly is that guy?"

Meanwhile, in the underworld of Kyoto.

Even after successfully passing through the "gate," Ye Xing remained unfazed.

He looked at the thick black fog before him, listening to the eerie, inexplicable voices within it, which sounded like thousands of people whispering at the same time, and muttered to himself.

"The real battle is just beginning."

The most dangerous part of this operation was not what Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama imagined—facing armed kidnappers.

Ye Xing knew from the beginning that he had no problem dealing with this group of amateur kidnappers, or even the members of the Metropolitan Police Department, with his own abilities.

The real test begins now.

This was the first time he had left the inner world through a "door" and returned to it through the same "door".

In other words.

This gave the evil spirits the opportunity to gather together and prepare to attack him.

054 Butter Shooter, Returning in Triumph

Within the thick, swirling black mist, hundreds upon hundreds of terrifying pupils emerged, all eyes simultaneously locking onto Ye Xing.

Even a normal person, or someone with abnormally strong mental fortitude like Yotsuya Miko, would probably break down quickly if she were watched by so many evil spirits.

However, facing the terrifying gazes around him, Ye Xing simply yawned and stretched.

"This feeling is a bit like being a star who is the center of attention at a concert."

Ye Xing waved to the black mist and smiled warmly.

"Friends in the back row, wave your hands and show me your enthusiasm, okay?"

silence.

There is only silence.

Naturally, there was no response from within the black mist.

Ye Xing smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself.

"As expected, trying to get away with being cute won't work."

The frivolous smile on his face gradually disappeared, his clothes fluttered without wind, and his pure black mask seemed to be burning with flames, twisting slightly.

A faint, ethereal voice echoed in Ye Xing's mind.

"Have you finally decided to tear off all pretenses and give it your all?"

"Since the world has become so bizarre, why should we allow ourselves to be bound by so-called 'normal'?"

"Devouring all evil spirits and creating a world that you believe deserves to be called real."

"Here, I call forth my true name."

Listening to the voice in his mind, Ye Xing glanced into the black mist.

The thick, tidal wave of black mist did not appear out of thin air.

Instead, it was hundreds or thousands of terrifying evil spirits gathered together, their auras condensed together.

now.

The evil spirits revealed their true forms.

Just by passing through a "door," the difference between the inner world and the outer world of Kyoto is like the difference between the human world and hell.

"Should I use that ability here...?"

Faced with an astonishing number of evil spirits surrounding him, Ye Xing muttered something to himself, then shook his head with a light laugh.

"That's all; it's not necessary yet."

Just as Ye Xing conjured a black Tang sword in his right hand, preparing to attack the gathered evil spirits, he suddenly saw the originally menacing evil spirits begin to flee in panic in all directions.

Furthermore, it was making panicked noises that sounded like animal roars.

"This is?"

Ye Xing looked up into the distance and saw a humanoid creature, about two meters tall, with tattered clothes, only a few rough burlap sacks hanging from its body, and skin that was a worn gray, slowly walking toward them.

Although this guy's appearance is strange and he is obviously not human, he seems quite normal compared to the other evil spirits living in the underworld.

At least, it still has a human form.

The other evil spirits all looked like the Cthulhu mythos.

The humanoid creature, resembling a zombie, seemed completely uninterested in Night Star. It simply reached out and grabbed a fleeing evil spirit, its mouth agape to an exaggerated degree, and bit down hard on its opponent.

Evil spirits also feel pain.

Being swallowed alive like this naturally produced a deafening scream.

But the zombie-like monster didn't slow down at all. Like a machine devoid of any emotion, it tore the enormous evil spirit into pieces and swallowed it whole in an extremely cruel way.

Ye Xing was right next to him and witnessed the whole thing.

He showed no fear whatsoever, and even commented on it with great interest.

"Your eating manners are not elegant at all. An occasional scream can bring a different kind of pleasure to eating, but if the whole process is like this, then it is too vulgar. My evaluation is that it is like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit, tasteless."

The zombie spirit paused for a moment, seemingly lacking the intelligence to understand the meaning of Night Star's words.

Simultaneously.

Night Star was also observing this evil spirit, which was different from its kind.

It's true that evil spirits eat other evil spirits.

This was the first time Ye Xing had ever seen such a way of eating, driven by pure, instinctive hatred.

Could it be...

Are you also an Attack on Titan?
