Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 362 Spirit World Detective

Spirit detective?

Asuka and Shinobu exchanged a glance, clearly neither of them had heard of this saying.

Kisuke Urahara reached under the coffee table and pulled out a somewhat old-fashioned projector, which displayed a blurry but still legible live video feed.

"Ms. Yoruichi is currently conducting covert surveillance on the outskirts of Sarayashiki City. This is the footage she transmitted back using special spiritual devices."

Asuka and Shinobu both turned their gazes toward the projection.

In the video, the sky appears eerily grayish-white, and the surrounding buildings seem distorted and indistinct, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.

The streets were densely packed with faceless, translucent spirits dressed in white mourning clothes.

Those are the very souls that Shinobu Kocho was referring to.

In the center of the encirclement of the Soul-Destroying One, a figure was charging wildly.

That wasn't a Shinigami dressed in a black Shinigami uniform, nor a Quincy wielding a spirit bow.

He was a boy who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old.

He was wearing a green school uniform with a stand-up collar, the kind often worn by delinquent teenagers, and had his hair styled in an arrogant slicked-back manner.

Faced with those eerie spirits, the boy didn't use any weapons, but fought with his iron fists!

boom!

With a vicious headbutt, the boy sent a lunging ghost flying backward.

Then, a roundhouse kick cleaved the other one in two.

Asuka frowned as she watched the boy's movements in the video, saying, "This kid's physical skills... are practically street brawls, but his strength and explosiveness are exceptionally amazing."

"If he's just strong, he's not enough to attract my attention... Asuka, look closely at his hands," Urahara reminded him.

In the scene, the boy seems to be enraged by the constant stream of angry words.

He suddenly widened the distance, his right index finger together, pointing straight ahead.

In that instant, an extremely dazzling blue light gathered at his fingertips.

"Spirit Pill—!!!"

Although he couldn't hear the sound, the bird could tell from the boy's lip movements that he was shouting.

boom!

A ball of azure energy shot out from the boy's fingertip!

The ball of light was incredibly powerful, instantly piercing through the bodies of dozens of soul-devouring beings and blasting them into countless specks of light!

"What kind of power is this? It's not Kido, not Cero, and not even the Quincy's Sacred Arrow..."

"That's why I insisted on asking you to come, Asuka-kun."

Kisuke Urahara said gravely, “I knew it at a glance. That boy’s power doesn’t belong to the Soul Society’s spiritual particle system; it belongs to another dimension.”

"Actually, these interdimensional rifts have occurred occasionally while you were away, but they usually don't last very long." He said, looking at Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho nodded: "Yes, we tried to find your traces in those other worlds at first, but they disappeared quickly, and we couldn't find anything."

"But this time... I wonder if it's because the valley and this rift have intersected..." Kisuke Urahara looked at the boy in the image. "This rift has lasted for two days... and it seems to be expanding..."

"Yesterday, Yoruichi and I risked our lives to infiltrate the rift in Sarayashiki and tried our best to investigate."

"This boy's name is Urameshi Yusuke. He was just an ordinary delinquent at Sarayashiki Middle School. He died in a car accident not long ago."

"But strangely, he didn't become an ordinary person, nor was he reincarnated by the Grim Reaper."

Instead, he became a spirit detective.

"So what exactly is this spirit detective you're talking about?" Asuka pressed.

Urahara thought about it seriously for a long time before replying, "...I'm not entirely sure either. It seems to be an organization that manages the supernatural order and is completely independent of the Soul Society."

"If I had to say, like you, I'm a substitute for Death."

"Right now, that substitute Shinigami named Yusuke Urameshi is brutally eliminating the souls he owes."

"I'm worried that the cracks in the valley will become increasingly unstable due to his violent bombardment. If we let it continue, this area of ​​the present world may collapse completely."

"First, we need to find out why the Valley of the Dead and the mortal world intersect, and then stop that detective from causing any more destruction."

Urahara looked directly at Asuka and instructed, "Therefore, it is most appropriate for the experienced Asuka-sama to handle this kind of trouble involving the collision of multiple worlds."

"7

"...I have no experience whatsoever." Asuka pursed her lips speechlessly.

However, Urahara's words did pique his interest, which had been tingling with the painstaking study of the past few days.

"A spirit detective from another world...?"

""

After spending the last two weeks reading and memorizing, he felt like his bones were rusting.

It seems that finally, a target has emerged that doesn't require rules and can be communicated with fists and swords.

Asuka stood up, stretched her spine, and made a series of cracking sounds as if she hadn't moved in a long time.

"Let's go, Shinobu." Asuka turned her head and looked at Shinobu Kocho beside her: "Let's go fight."

Shinobu Kocho looked at Asuka's confident and arrogant appearance, chuckled, and stood up: "Since Lady Asuka has said so, then I will naturally obey orders and go with you."

"If you accidentally hurt that otherworldly detective, I'll be the one to bandage him up."

"Oh my, you two are so in sync... Well then, I'll leave it to you."

Kisuke Urahara, fanning himself with a folding fan, smiled as he saw them off: "We don't know when the rift will close, so please make sure to finish this quickly."

"If you need technical support, please feel free to contact us by mobile phone!"

Sarayashiki City, East Ward.

The once bustling commercial street was now shrouded in a thick layer of gray-white fog.

The sky became foggy, and the surrounding high-rise buildings seemed to be shrouded in water, reflecting an eerie sense of distortion.

This is a unique phenomenon resulting from the overlap between the valley space and the present world, known as the present world substitution.

In the center of the street, the battle had reached a fever pitch.

"Damn it! These swarms of rags, I can't seem to get rid of them no matter how hard I try!"

Yusuke Urameshi was panting heavily, his signature slicked-back hair was disheveled, and his green school uniform was covered in dust.

His hands were red and swollen from repeatedly throwing punches at high intensity.

Surrounding Yusuke were hundreds of spirits floating in the air.

They have no facial features, only an empty mouth that keeps opening and closing on a red mask.

Whether they are aggressive or not, and what harm they might cause, Yusuke Urameshi didn't know.

His orders were to eliminate these guys.

"Yusuke! Watch your back!"

A clear, anxious voice came from above Yusuke's head.

She was a cute girl sitting on a broom, wearing a pink kimono, and with long blue hair.

She is a guide from the spirit world, Peony.

Without turning his head, Yusuke suddenly spun around and threw a heavy uppercut with his right hand.

A muffled thud.

A spirit that tried to approach from behind had its jaw shattered by his punch and dissipated into spiritual particles.

"Peony! What on earth did that little Yama guy say?! These faceless monsters aren't even demons!"

As Yusuke fought, he roared at the botanical figure in mid-air, "My Spirit Gun is effective, but I've been fighting for a whole day and I can't hold on much longer."

"This number is outrageous! What's going on?!"
