He slammed his hand on the table, drawing puzzled glances from his companions.
He waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, while at the same time feeling his heart racing and his mind becoming increasingly certain.
...Kiryu is really fighting Tamamo-no-Mae! He's even fighting Fall Guys!
Chapter 283 Yangping's Loyalty is Unspeakable
After confirming the answer in his mind, Yangping took a deep breath.
So Kiryu-nii was doing something so amazing! No wonder he's so powerful and mysterious!
He gently stroked his candy necklace.
If the red helmet belongs to Kiryu's older brother, then he must have been the one who attacked the hotel earlier. His older brother is currently in another place, fighting against the newly resurrected Tamamo-no-Mae.
It is truly moving that they would fight against such a powerful monster from mythology.
But Yangping also had a new question.
Now that it's confirmed that Kiryu can really fight evil spirits, could all those videos of paranormal events circulating online recently be real?
He took a sip of his drink, looked at his underlings, and asked, "Hey everyone, stop. I just remembered something."
Yang Ping tapped the table with his finger: "Have you guys encountered anything strange lately? Like... the kind that could be classified as paranormal?"
The bald delinquents who had just been making a fuss over the video looked at each other, and soon one of them raised his hand and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Yangping, I actually have something to say."
The man grinned and said, "I keep dreaming about the prettiest girl in our class lately, and then I feel really listless the next day. Do you think she might be a nightmare?"
Yang Ping hesitated, his expression incredibly strange, then clicked his tongue and asked, "What score did you get on your last Chinese test?"
"Uh... I'm only five points away from passing."
"This afternoon, you'll be punished by having to write three more essays." Yang Ping waved his hand dismissively. "And while you're at it, read some books to clear your head."
"A pornographic film is a pornographic film, why make it sound so mysterious?"
The younger brother coughed violently twice, while the person next to him burst into laughter: "What? You haven't even pursued her yet?"
The person quickly waved their hand: "No, I planned to confess after the final exams! Exams are more important!"
Afterwards, Yangping asked each of them again, and fortunately, none of the bald delinquents had encountered any supernatural events.
Yangping stroked his necklace and inexplicably felt that it might be related to the necklace that Doutang had given them.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the headless dogs were scattered, and a large number of people were beaten and hospitalized. Is that true?"
"I've heard about that too. According to those people, the headless dog got involved with something terrible, which attracted some powerful guys, and it got a severe beating."
The delinquents continued chatting and making a ruckus, while soft sunlight streamed through the window and onto the table.
Yangping looked at the soda in his hand, watching the bubbles rise in the bright liquid, and listened to his friends chatting. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.
This kind of life... is something I never imagined six months ago, right?
"Hey...look at Yangping, that smile is just...is he in heat for a second?"
"Huh? Him? Don't be ridiculous, he wouldn't even dare to hold Kuroki-nee's hand."
Yang Ping suddenly raised his hand: "What nonsense are you spouting, you bastards!"
"Oh dear, you're blushing!"
"He's panicking! He's really panicking!"
………………
After lunch, Yangping arrived at Kuroki Keizaki's residence. Although he had a lot of questions, considering that Doutang had experienced such a thing in Nikko City, he did not choose to make a phone call rashly, but came to ask Kuroki Keizaki instead.
"Hoo..." Yangping's feelings for Kuroki Keisaki were not as ambiguous as his friends said. On the contrary, Yangping, who had received a lot of care from Kuroki Keisaki, felt a great deal of respect for her.
She's the kind of capable older sister next door who can do everything well and always helps you solve a lot of problems, gently helping you... It's a warmth that Yangping has never felt since childhood.
He took the elevator upstairs, and as soon as he got to the door, he saw Kuroki Keizaki push the door open with a huge suitcase.
"Huh? Kuroki-nee?" Yohei blinked in surprise. "Are you going out?"
Kuroki Keisaki was also somewhat surprised to see Yohei: "Yohei? Why are you here?"
"I...I came to find you." Yang Ping scratched his head.
Only then did he notice that there was another person behind Kuroki Keizaki.
Upon closer inspection, he was even more surprised. Although they had only met once, he remembered it very clearly.
The girl behind Kuroki Keisaki is Kiryu's younger sister!
It seems like it was called Huaiyin?
“Ah, Kiryu Kaine… that’s her name, right?” Yohei said with a smile.
"I'm Kiryu's younger brother! We met before we went to Kamogawa City!"
Huaiyin raised an eyebrow and looked at him, recognizing Yangping as well.
He nodded and said, "I remember your name is... Katsuta Yohei, right?"
Hello, Katsuta-san.
Yangping scratched his bald head and smiled brightly: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to remember. Hello, hello, Kiryu-chan."
"Pfft..." Kuroki Keisaki covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yohei, what kind of address is Kiryu-chan-san?"
"Yangping, is there something you need from me?"
Yangping quickly replied, "Oh, I came to ask about Kiryu-nii!"
He glanced at Huaiyin and continued, "It just so happens that Kiryu-nii's sister is here too. I wanted to ask... is the person in that viral video on the internet Kiryu-nii?"
Yangping held up his phone and played the video from before.
Huaiyin seemed somewhat shocked, while Kuroki Keisaki reached out and rubbed Yohei's bald head, laughing, "Oh my, I knew Yohei was smart, he even guessed that."
Yangping blushed slightly as his head was rubbed like a child's, but he didn't resist. Instead, he continued, "So, is Kiryu-nii really fighting a legendary monster like Tamamo-no-Mae?"
Huaiyin hesitated for a moment, but Kuroki Keisaki quickly revealed the truth, nodding and saying, "That's right, that's why Huaiyin came back. And now... I'm going to take her to a safe place to hide for a while."
"Hide?" Yang Ping asked, puzzled. "Wasn't the battle taking place in Nikko City? Why are you hiding in Tokyo?"
“Because Tokyo isn’t safe right now either,” Huaiyin explained. “There have been many incidents of evil spirits fighting each other in Tokyo, and Sister Kuroki might become a target of those evil spirits as well.”
“And you…” Her gaze fell on the Fall Guy necklace peeking out from Yohei’s neck, and she seemed to be thinking, “There might be danger there as well, Katsuta-san. I suggest you avoid gatherings recently, and try to minimize going out at night.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Ping lowered his head and pondered for a moment. His fingers, gripping the phone, turned slightly white, indicating that he had used considerable force.
He seemed to be gathering his emotions, and finally took a deep breath, looking intently at Huaiyin, and said, "Can we help Kiryu-nii?"
Huaiyin was taken aback.
Chapter 284 Ninomiya Yusuke Doesn't Want to Work Overtime
Just as Huaiyin and Yangping were discussing some "trivial matters" that would cause a great uproar if Doutang found out, the situation in Sunlight City was rapidly deteriorating.
After a few days of fermentation, many evil spirits began to realize that there were undercurrents in Nikko City, and those monsters that did not belong to the same faction began to clash.
Calling it friction might be a bit of an understatement.
Most importantly, ordinary people have been drawn into this.
Ninomiya Yusuke looked at the scene before him with a troubled expression.
The scene was a guesthouse, and the rooms were in a mess. The furniture was overturned, and there were sharp scratches on the floor and walls, which looked quite creepy.
The balcony glass is shattered, and cold air is constantly blowing in from it.
“Mr. Ninomiya, do you need any other information?” A police officer came out of the bedroom and asked Ninomiya Yusuke.
Ninomiya Yusuke gently raised his hand: "Tell me the whole story of what happened again."
The officer nodded, looked at his phone, and said, "Around 12:15 pm, Mrs. Tanaka from next door called the police, saying that she heard a violent fight coming from next door, and there was even a scream at one point."
“At 12:28, we arrived at the scene. After knocking on the door without response, we broke it down and found a 30-year-old female victim whose chest had been cut open and whose heart was missing.”
"The signs of a struggle in the living room are clearly not something a human could have done. At a glance, it seems that two evil spirits fought here."
"According to the street surveillance footage, at 12:20, a fox-shaped evil spirit and a human-shaped evil spirit left the balcony one after the other."
"After that, I informed you and dismissed the police officers who were not allowed to handle matters involving evil spirits."
"Foxes and humanoids... monsters and vengeful spirits?" Ninomiya Yusuke rubbed his chin, while taking out a few copper coins from his hand and casually tossing them on the ground.
As the copper coin landed, wisps of smoke suddenly appeared in the air. These wisps were a faint grayish-black color and gradually gathered into the copper coin.
Then, Ninomiya Yusuke picked up the copper coins one by one, held them in his hand, and rubbed them vigorously.
"Whoosh..." He blew a breath into the gap between his thumb and forefinger, and the smoke from the copper coin burst out of his fist, wandering in the room and eventually turning into two blurry phantoms.
“These two evil spirits made no attempt to conceal their presence. Although we cannot obtain their exact appearance, we can see how things happened,” Ninomiya Yusuke explained.
The ethereal figures formed from the smoke wandered through the room, transforming into a tall, strong man and a petite fox. The man held two short knives, while the fox possessed exceptionally sharp claws. The two evil spirits darted and weaved through the room, occasionally making attacking motions, leaving sharp and pointed marks wherever they went.
“It seems that these two evil spirits are evenly matched.” Ninomiya Yusuke frowned and said his guess: “The fox demon killed the lady of the house, but was chased by the male vengeful spirit that appeared out of nowhere. After a stalemate in the battle, both evil spirits fled the scene in a panic.”
"Fortunately, there was enough resentment left behind, allowing me to track them down." Ninomiya Yuuki looked at the contents of his palm.
Copper coins... I felt another wave of drowsiness.
After saying goodbye to the police officer and indicating that he would take care of everything else, Ninomiya Yusuke went downstairs, put the copper coins in his pocket, got into his car, and took out his phone to check the contents.
Subsequently, he was also drawn to the video online, and after watching the whole thing, his expression became quite strange.
This brutal and direct combat, with even the floor and pillars being smashed... doesn't seem like special effects.
He suddenly seemed to understand why the film studio had called him that morning to say they would never work together again.
He quickly dialed Tong Zizhen's number.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered. Lu Zizhen's lazy and tired voice came from the other end: "Yawn... Hello? Ninomiya, what's up? Is there something you need?"
"Hey, I saw that video. That factory being destroyed... wasn't it special effects?!"
Lu Zizhen suddenly fell silent.
it is more than words.
Ninomiya Yuki's already lifeless eyes became completely dead fish eyes.
"...If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
Lu Zizhen: "..."
Ninomiya Yusuke let out a long sigh.
"Well... we also demolished the abandoned buildings that your Nikko City had left for too long on a voluntary basis, right? Shouldn't you thank us in the end?" Lu Zizhen said shamelessly.
"Ahem, Ninomiya-san, we're such good friends, you don't mind, do you?"
“I mind.” Ninomiya Yuuki rubbed his temples and closed his eyes. “Unless you do me a favor.”
"Hey, helping out is easy, just tell me what kind of help you need!"
"I have a case involving an evil spirit on my hands..."
"I've answered!" Lu Zizhen suddenly became interested and shouted, "What kind of evil spirit is it? Has anyone died? Do you have any information? Have you called the police?"
"Uh... I called the police, and I've collected the resentment. It's traceable, and its intensity doesn't seem too high," Ninomiya Yuki said honestly.
“That’s wonderful, Ninomiya-san, this is a godsend.” Ryūko-sada grinned mischievously. “I was just wondering what to do, so I’ll use that poor evil spirit as practice.”
"After all, we might have to beat up that slutty fox Tamamo-no-Mae who has a somewhat unpleasant past with my man later, so we need to warm up first."
A past too painful to recall...?
My husband...?
Ninomiya Yusuke was filled with questions, but reason told him that if he investigated this matter further, his life would be in danger.
So he simply said, "Then I'll drive over there right now and give you the resentment I've collected."
"This case is now entirely in your hands."
"Don't worry!" came the sound of Lu Zizhen patting her pillow from the other end of the phone, clearly she was lying in bed. "Leave it to us, you can rest assured."
Hearing the sound of the pillow being patted, Ninomiya Yuuki felt sleepy again and asked, "If I may ask, what were you doing just now?"
"Uh, taking a nap." Lu Zizhen was a little confused: "Why are you asking that?"
"Go back to sleep..." Ninomiya Yusuke's heart was bleeding; his longing for sleep almost drove him to madness.
