Why are there only loser heroines around me?

Ukyo wasn't sure what had happened at the hospital, nor did he know where the "demons" in the warehouse had gone. He only knew that Yanai was in danger, and he had to get back quickly! So he ran the 15-minute drive from the warehouse to the hospital on foot. On the way, he used the folding knife in the handle of his umbrella to chop a dark figure that had risen from the water in two. Its head was like a jellyfish, its lower body like a mermaid, and it was holding a steel fork. Ukyo didn't have time to think about the demon; he just wanted to get to the hospital quickly!

The three-story hospital called "Goodley Hospital" is the only hospital in the town. It is a private enterprise and part of a chain, but the US government owns shares in it.

Maple leaves were wet by the rain and fell on the facade of the building. There was no gunfire and no lights inside. Many glass windows were wide open, rustling in the wind. There were splattered blood on many windows. The hospital door was open inward, and white papers were flying around inside, like a mental hospital in an American horror movie 20 years ago.

Youjing felt that the wide-open hospital door seemed to be welcoming someone.

On this rainy night with slanting wind and drizzle falling on the island city, no one else should come to this hospital.

All the reflective glass mirrors were refracting different images. Ukyo saw the lights in the hospital suddenly go out, and several children in school uniforms were running inside. Shadow-like images flashed before his eyes, and Yanami with a grenade ring in his mouth flashed before his eyes. Then, the picture turned into a desolate desert somewhere in the western United States, with a chained demon crawling in it.

"Mirror" is the door through which demons sneak into the human world.

If there is such a place, it suddenly becomes a paradise for demons one day. The monsters exiled in reality open the door to reality for their companions who are still stranded in hell. Interestingly, there is more than one such demon, so the doors they open are also different. These different doors are crisscrossed in the hospital in a disorderly manner, and different hells form passages inside. So when Youjing stood at the door, he could see different pictures flashing in front of his eyes!

The space in this hospital is already chaotic. If he steps in at this moment, he will inevitably be trapped in the complex and treacherous demon world.

But Ukyo went in anyway.

Because he had been to the Demon Realm and the Nibelungen, there was nothing scary there. The important thing was not that he would die there. Youjing felt that he did not value his life. He just didn't want to watch his friend die in that unknown and strange place for the second time.

The moment he entered the hospital, he was filled with the sound of sharp blades hitting the walls! It was the sound of sickle-weasels sliding along the walls in the wind! There were so many of them, and their sharp sickles clashed against the walls, making a sound like "bang!" When thousands of these clashing sounds rushed into the brain at the same time, the intensity was enough to make even a strong-minded person lose their mind!

But Ukyo released Nekomata and Kumochi.

Two "big demons" stood beside Youjing in the darkness, their "demon power" built a barrier in front of Youjing, making him immune to those invisible mental attacks.

This time, although he still went down to this strange and alien space alone, he did not really go there alone!

........

...

Yanami held onto the railing and called out a flashlight in the dark space. Beside her were two people, Patient Toby and Level 3 Investigator Neil O'Brien.

They all had scratches of varying degrees on their bodies. Neil's was the most serious, as he was scratched on the neck by a kamaweed, but he dodged in time and the scratch was not deep. Yanami's forearm was scratched by a kamaweed and had been treated with an emergency bandage.

Ten minutes ago, they were the only three people in the hospital who could still maintain their sanity. They wanted to leave the hospital through the main gate, but they encountered a mysterious wall in the very simple hospital space. They didn't know what happened, but suddenly they ended up underground.

Yes, underground. They weren't sure where they were, but they thought it was underground because they were walking down a staircase. Yanami held onto the stairs and carefully made his way down. This seemed to be the bottom of a rocket silo. When he looked up and shone his flashlight over there, he could see the abandoned silo rack.

But why is there a silo under the hospital?

Could it be that this hospital was built directly on top of the silo? That didn't make sense, because the foundation of a house couldn't be dug into an underground well. It was ridiculous. And they were clearly walking towards the hospital exit, so how could they suddenly end up underground?

"Ms. Yanami, you are a professional exorcist. Do you have any idea about the situation we are facing now?" Level 3 investigator Neil was very polite to Yanami. This lady had just saved her life. If it weren't for her swift swordsmanship, she would probably have been killed by the group of kamaitachi.

"I do not know."

Yanai's innocent tone made Neil and the patient Toby stunned at the same time.

You must know that you are the expert invited by the White House from Japan. Arthur, who often cooperates with them, said on the phone that the combination coming to Avalon this time is Japan's legendary ace, and even the leader of the Genji has praised it!

"Don't joke around at a time like this. Arthur told us you're the strongest demon slayer in Japan."

Yanami suddenly put the flashlight on his phone to his chin, then turned around sharply and made a face to scare the two of them. "Arthur should have said 'we', not just 'me'. The real legendary demon slayer is my boss. He must know what happened in this hospital, but our phones show 'no communication', which means we can't find the boss."

Toby said sheepishly, "Then your omnipotent boss will definitely be able to find us, right?"

Yanaijian shrugged and threw up his hands helplessly. "If you ask him to kill all the flying rats in the hospital and the zombies that have fallen into the spiritual realm, it should be quite easy for him. But finding people... do you think the area we are in can be easily found?"

The girl's words silenced the two men, and the already quiet launch platform was now as silent as death.

Toby suddenly stopped moving and sat down on the rusty stairs. "I think we're doomed, Captain, and the Japanese woman. Even if we go down the stairs, won't we get further and further away from the ground? Is there an elevator in the silo that can take us directly up?"

"You're right," Nick said. "The US military's launch silos must have maintenance elevators, and large launch silos like this must have more than one backup power source. If we can find them, maybe we can get in."

Yanaijian also said at this time: "I've seen some old movies. Many launch shafts are directly erected in the mines. We might even find abandoned mine cars."

"But we are on the island...where did the mine cart come from?" Toby held his head dejectedly.

"You're such a heartless person!" His team leader, Nick, grabbed his collar from behind. "The girl in front of you, not even 18 years old, didn't give up, and you, a man, didn't even leave! Think about your wife and children!"

"My wife died of stomach cancer last year, and I don't have a daughter."

——Pa~, a loud slap echoed in the launch skylight, "Then imagine your mother, idiot! You always have relatives alive!"

Yanami was trying hard to hold back her laughter. She thought the two Americans were hilarious, but Toby seemed to be immersed in some sad atmosphere, so she didn't want to disturb him.

If she had come to such a place in the past, she would definitely be scared. Now her heart is beating very fast, but she is not afraid. The emotion seems to be more... excitement. Yes, it should be excitement.

Maybe it was because Ukyo had forced her to read a lot of horror stories and watch a lot of horror movies not long ago, so her horror threshold seemed to have increased.

But no matter how many horror novels and movies a person has read, she will definitely feel scared when she is in a horror scene. If she is not afraid, then she must have a talent in this area, so Yanami thinks she may be very talented.

While the two middle-aged men were still arguing on the dark stairs, she was already humming a song and skipping down. The tune she was humming was the song "Firefly Light" that was played after school at Shifu High School. The melody was very gentle, but in such a silent place, any gentle tune would seem terrifying!

Nick and Toby realized that they had to keep up. If they fell behind, it would mean they would lose the protection of this "ace" investigator, and then they would be truly dead in the patio.

......

Yanaijian felt a sudden flash of light in front of his eyes, and then the ground began to shake, and the deep staircase was suddenly cut off by a tunnel!

A dazzling light shone from the end of the tunnel, and a green train pulled into the station, making a harsh sound as it rubbed against the rails. It stopped in front of Yanami, with a stretch of carriages hanging behind the locomotive as far as the eye could see.

The car door opened, the lights inside were bright, and the Chinese version of "Happy New Year" was playing on the speakers.

In this bottomless launch silo, the downward stairs were suddenly cut off by a tunnel. Such a weird song was still playing in the carriage. Everyone knew that this carriage could not be approached. But suddenly there was a strong sound of wind behind the three people. It was a sound similar to the cry of bats, mixed with the sound of hitting a triangle.

The sickle-weasel pack is chasing us!

There were only two choices before them: one was to get on the car, and the other was to climb over the car and continue walking up the bottomless stairs.

Who knows what's at the end of the stairs?

This carriage at least looks cozy, and its thick shell may be able to withstand the attack of the sickle-weasel pack. Even if getting on this car may cause them to fall from a dangerous environment to another more dangerous place, it is better than being torn to pieces by the sickle-weasel pack now. On the narrow stairs, they can no longer dodge as easily as last time.

So Yanaijian got into the car.

Two investigators followed.

The train started moving immediately, and the three of them found a seat in the carriage and sat down. The scenery outside the window was always dark, as if it was always moving in the darkness.

A man dressed similarly to Yanami was already waiting in the carriage.

His clothes were almost identical to Yanami's, except he wore a tall top hat instead of a beret. He also wore a meticulously crafted white shirt and bow tie, and a perfectly ironed black suit. This was the typical Victorian British style, emphasizing both rigor and elegance.

"I'm glad to see other living people here." The man in the top hat was startled, then said, "Why you, my friends? Did you also encounter the Jersey Devil in the abandoned mines in California?"

"No," Yanami said, "We encountered a group of crazy sickle-weasels in the hospital in Avalon."

"Do you know each other?" Yanaijian looked at the three people.

"So you don't know each other," Investigator Nick said. "This is Arthur, the world's most active psychic detective. His full name is Arthur Conan Doyle."

Yanai's eyes lit up, "You wrote Sherlock Holmes!"

"A gimmick! A gimmick!" Arthur waved his hand and said, "The name is just a gimmick! Your name has to be impressive enough for people to come to you for exorcisms. They should be considerate of an 'old man' like me who started exorcism before the resurgence of the supernatural. Back then, it was still a niche profession, and everyone had to change their names to get business. Arthur Conan Doyle is a name that immediately identifies him as an exorcist! It's because of this name that I have such a huge business! You young people have to be considerate of us old guys."

After saying this, Arthur looked out the train door.

"I remember you two seemed to be a couple. Where's your boyfriend?"

"Ah?" Yanami's expression became visibly unnatural. Just when she was about to respond, the train suddenly stopped and everyone was knocked down by inertia, falling to the ground in pieces. At this moment... the door on the other side suddenly opened.

A young man was standing in a wasteland, holding a huge rat head and covered in blood.

Looking at the scattered combination in front of him, Ukyo was stunned.

He was not impressed by this sudden appearance of the train and did not want to get on it.

"Why don't you come down?" Youjing looked at the wilderness behind him.

He had no idea where he was. He had originally planned to go to the second floor of the hospital, but when he got there, he saw a wilderness that looked like the Demon Realm. There wasn't even an abandoned car shell, only the boundless desert, the occasional tumbleweed that rolled past his feet, and... countless sickle-weed storms...

Those monsters in Japanese mythology formed a storm in the wasteland, sweeping away everything in its path like a tornado.

Now.....

The "Sickle-Weasel Hurricane" is coming again.

Yana saw Tornado behind Ukyo. Before she could stand up from the ground, she stretched out her hand to Ukyo and said, "Come up quickly!"

Volume 95: Chapter 8: She is the woman who has been with you through thick and thin (K chapters)

At the last moment before the "Kamaitachi Hurricane" was about to hit the railway tracks, Ukyo jumped onto the train.

Yanami brushed the dust off his windbreaker and introduced the other people in the car to Ukyo with a smile.

Image: "Windbreaker", Location: "Images/1730039554-100416414-112278600.jpg"

"This is our colleague Arthur. The other two are Investigator A and his team member B."

Nick and Toby's expressions were not very good. In the eyes of this little girl, these two middle-aged uncles were just "passersby AB". But think about it, their performance in the rocket launch pit was not very good either. In this case, it is understandable that they were regarded as insignificant combat units.

But they are not really useless. Toby doesn't care about what Yanami said, but Nick is secretly gathering his strength and planning to find an opportunity to prove himself.

……

"Why are you so happy in times of trouble?" Youjing was a little surprised. The intersecting space they faced was not optimistic. Death here was only the best outcome among many.

"There's nothing I can do..." Yanai said, spreading her hands: "We can't go out with a cold face, so we might as well be happy."

..........

.....

Ukyo had a brief conversation with everyone, and it turned out that Yanami and others didn't know what happened in the hospital.

The scene of "countless demonic realms" intersecting through the mirror seemed to be seen only by Ukyo, who happened to arrive at the hospital door.

"There are at least 201 demon realms intertwined in 'Avalon'. You haven't seen the facade of that hospital. It's a pity that you missed the magnificent sight of demons dancing wildly." Ukyo sat down in the train. It was an old American train. The interior decoration was very similar to domestic buses, except that the chairs were made of wood. Ukyo was very confused as to why the Happy New Year played here was in Chinese.

"What is going on?" Level 3 investigator Nick looked very ugly.

"I discovered 201 demons that had broken free from the warehouse opened by your local investigators. They are now gathered in the hospital in Avalon. This must be some kind of feng shui 'gathering place for demons,' perfectly suited for opening a gateway from the demon world to the human world.

But the demons were too anxious. Different demons simultaneously opened different demonic gates, causing the various demonic realms to converge within the hospital. "The hospital has now become a chaotic, chaotic 'exile zone,' with various 'smuggling ports' descending upon it. Anyone entering the hospital is like falling into an oversized washing machine running full tilt, capable of holding 201 garments at once. You could be a coin in your pocket, or... a bacterium, or something insignificant. The demons are like a large quantity of sterilizing laundry detergent, ready to destroy them at any moment."

"What an abstract metaphor..." Arthur's mouth twitched. "I thought the devil was the antiseptic laundry detergent. But come to think of it, there are only five of us, but there's a whole herd of devils. We've only encountered a herd of sickle-weasels, which is like encountering just regular laundry detergent. But laundry detergent comes in gardenia, lemon, and green apple flavors. There's also laundry powder, laundry beads, bleaching, color-fixing, and enzyme-enhanced."

Arthur said seriously, "I was fighting the Jersey Devil in an abandoned mine in California before, but a train suddenly rushed out from the depths of the tunnel and killed Jersey."

"What does this mean?"

Arthur was asking and answering his own questions. He snapped his fingers, causing his knuckles to ache, and then said, "This means that the chaotic spatial dislocations in this hospital have extended to all corners of the world! It's not just me; others might also be suddenly trapped in this inexplicably connected demonic world. The five of us are lucky to have encountered this magical train!"

"If others accidentally fell into the intertwined demonic realm, they would probably have been eaten by various demons!"

"That makes sense!"

"As expected of a veteran detective," Yanaijian said, applauding him symbolically. "Then, veteran detective, do you have any ideas for getting us out of here?"

Yanami stuffed a round lemon candy with a hollow center into her mouth. When she got off the plane, she went to a clothing store with Ukyo and bought the long windbreaker and beret she was wearing. Before leaving, he grabbed a handful of lemon candies from the bar and stuffed them into his pocket. Ukyo felt speechless and complained that her behavior was like an old lady grabbing toilet paper from a public toilet, but Yanami didn't care at all, because she paid 5 dollars more when she paid, and 5 dollars was enough to buy a handful of lemon candies.

The air was filled with the sweet scent of lemon.

Yanaijian peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed one into Ukyo's mouth.

He didn't want to eat it at first, but the lemon candy broke through his lips and touched his teeth. Yana thought it was probably intentional. She rubbed Ukyo's lips with her cold and slender fingers, pretending to hate the other's saliva, and rubbed it twice on her clothes.

So the other three people looked at them with speechless expressions.

Why do I have to be fed dog food in this chaotic demon world?

Nick misses his family a little.

But an old bachelor like Arthur wouldn't have so many feelings. His eyes were filled with envy... "I'll retire in two years, and then I'll use the commissions I earned when I was young to live a life of luxury!"

"Then you can hold on tight." Yanaijian waved his finger and said, "I heard that men's energy starts to decline after the age of 35. Arthur, you're almost 40 this year, right?"

hey~!

Who did you learn this little mouth covered with honey from?

Arthur tried to give examples to prove that he was still as strong as ever at the age of 35, but he suddenly smelled a foul odor.

The source of the stench was the dead head that Ukyo had brought into the carriage not long ago.

"Mr. Ukyo, what the hell did you kill? Why does it seem to have started to rot?"

"This is the Kamaitachi queen," Ukyo said. "Kamaitachis are mostly male. Females are different in appearance and enormous, like the relationship between a queen ant and her worker ants. There's only one female among tens of thousands of Kamaitachis. I killed this female in the center of the storm, and the Kamaitachi hurricane that attacked me dissipated instantly. But I didn't anticipate that there were other Kamaitachi packs in the wilderness. They kept chasing me, and there was more than one female Kamaitachi. If the train hadn't arrived, I would have been ready to rush into the hurricane to kill the second one."

"So you still have the habit of collecting your trophies?"

Ukyo was startled.
