Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"That's right, Tuanzi is absolutely right, this is the way to break the situation!"

Rio Futaba took a deep breath and said in a hurried tone.

"Just like Tuanzi said, after the circuit is cut off, even if the Kyoto City high-level officials don't know that this incident was caused by evil spirits, they will definitely send people to repair it. There is no doubt about this."

"And we have all seen the evil spirits that can affect humans, and even don't need to merge the surrounding areas with the Reverse World to attack directly."

Mai Sakurajima's pupils shrank slightly upon hearing this.

"You mean... in every power station, there are evil spirits guarding that have merged with humans... and killing any humans who go there?"

"That's right."

Although Rio Futaba wasn't wearing glasses, she habitually made a gesture of pushing up her glasses.

"I'm not very clear about how many power stations there are in Kyoto City, but according to the size of the city, there should be at least four or five."

"Normally speaking, the number of power stations built always leaves room for leeway. The working efficiency of each power station will only be maintained at about 60% to 70%. This was originally so that when a sudden failure occurs in a power station, it can continue to maintain the power supply needed by the entire city without exceeding the load and damaging the machinery."

"Which means…"

Rio Futaba took a deep breath and gave her final conclusion.

"We are now going to have a defense war with the enemy, but the advantage is on our side, because we don't need to eliminate the evil spirits in all the power stations. We only need to restore the operation of three or four, or even just one or two, power stations to restore the power supply to Kyoto City."

Miko Yotsuya nodded slightly, and said in a heavy tone.

"The difficulty lies in... how to keep the power station running while the evil spirits are attacking at any time, at least until tomorrow morning..."

Speaking of this, Miko Yotsuya fell silent.

The others present also fell silent.

Guarding a power station and holding out until dawn tomorrow morning?

You must know that it is not even seven o'clock now.

The silver lining is that it is summer now, with long days and short nights, but even with good luck, they will have to endure nearly twelve hours under the attack of evil spirits.

"This is the only way."

Mai Sakurajima's eyes showed a firm look, and she said word by word.

"We can't let this city fall into darkness. This is not only for the citizens, but also for Yozora who is trapped in the Reverse World."

Everyone understood what Mai Sakurajima meant.

If the power supply is not restored tonight, except for places like the Metropolitan Police Department and hospitals, which have emergency diesel generators, the rest of Kyoto City will fall into darkness.

This will inevitably cause panic and tension among the citizens.

And all the negative emotions of the people will gather in the Reverse World, manifesting into one, or even multiple, terrifying evil spirits. And the only human being in the Reverse World, Kyoto's number one exorcist, Yozora, is their primary target.

"Our disadvantage is obvious now."

Mai Sakurajima said softly.

"We need to protect Shoko and Menma, as well as Hachishaku, who is in poor condition, and it is best to avoid fighting in public places, otherwise, there is a risk of exposing our true identities."

"And the enemy is an evil spirit that ordinary people cannot observe and can attack us at any time, but this is also our advantage."

"As long as we kill those guys who have merged with humans and can directly interfere with reality, even if the rest of the evil spirits are anxious, they can't stop the on-site personnel, who are just ordinary humans, from rushing to repair the power station."

Rio Futaba nodded in agreement.

"I have the same idea as you, but before we set off, there are two more important things."

"First, if we want to clean up the power station, we need someone to tell us the location, and not stop us, and also maintain order at the scene."

"The second point is also the most important point…"

Speaking of this, Rio Futaba raised the phone in her hand.

"Now that the mobile phone signal has been cut off, we need another way to communicate. Although I have prepared walkie-talkies, the range of these civilian walkie-talkies does not exceed two kilometers. We have to be divided into at least two teams to repair two power stations at the same time. The distance between them has exceeded the limit range of the walkie-talkies."

Miko Yotsuya had already understood what Rio Futaba meant, and a firm look appeared in the golden eyes under the mask, and she nodded.

"Yes, those evil spirits who have merged with humans, while gaining the ability to directly interfere with reality, also have a fatal weakness, that is, they can be harmed by ordinary people."

"This time, the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department can indeed help us."

Rio Futaba nodded and looked at Hachishaku, who was slumped on the ground, as well as Makino Shoko and Menma, who might be attacked by evil spirits but had no power to fight back. A few hesitations flashed in her eyes.

Before she could speak, Yui Yuigahama took the initiative to speak.

"You go clean up the power station, I'll take them to hide and be responsible for protecting their safety."

"Are you sure? Yui, this matter is very…"

"Very dangerous, I know."

Yui Yuigahama interrupted Rio Futaba with a smile.

She naturally understood that Hachishaku, who possessed the power to open the "Gate", was like a nuclear bomb in the eyes of the enemy that could explode at any time, but the consequences were uncertain.

If the enemy is lucky, then the evil spirit that runs out of the Reverse World will directly kill Hachishaku, without the need for the other party to take action.

If we are lucky…

Then the strongest exorcist in history, the innate abstract holy body, the great Butter Shooter, is about to appear.

In the current situation, the enemy holds the advantage and naturally wouldn't want to gamble all their hopes on so-called luck.

Yui Yuigahama took a deep breath, a look of determination appearing in her eyes as she looked at Mai Sakurajima, Miko Yotsuya, and Rio Futaba, and said with a smile.

"This is the most efficient method, and the only way to maximize the chances of success and ensure that Yozora is as safe as possible."

"Be prepared, and then, let's act."

Rio Futaba nodded, her tone complex as she said.

"He's not here for this operation..."

Miko Yotsuya sighed softly and said quietly.

"If he were here, he would probably say something like this."

"What would he say?"

"If you want to protect everyone in Kyoto, then you can't protect anyone."

...

Twenty minutes later, outside the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Soichiro Yagami sat in a police car, listening to the reports from officers all over the city coming through the radio, his square face furrowed with worry and doubt.

It would be understandable if a power plant or a section of the city's electrical grid suddenly malfunctioned.

But for all the power plants to have problems at the same time, causing the entire city of Kyoto to lose its power supply, was simply too bizarre, a strange event that defied all normal logic.

Furthermore, the officers he had sent with the maintenance personnel to rush to repair the power plants had completely disappeared after arriving.

Strange.

It's just too strange.

Could it be...

Although Soichiro Yagami didn't possess the ability to "observe," the strangeness and eeriness of the situation immediately made him think of the word "evil spirit."

Is it a bizarre phenomenon?

But why?

Why hasn't "Kamen" come to find me?

Is it because he is fighting the mastermind behind the scenes?

Or is it that...

Soichiro Yagami didn't dare to continue thinking.

He had personally witnessed the perverted serial killer known as the Teru Teru Bozu Killer, and the monster worm as big as a train in the deep, dark underground passage.

Those things were definitely not something that guns or blades could handle.

Even the police headquarters' heavy firepower unit would be vulnerable in the face of such monsters.

If "Kamen" really died...

Then Kyoto would be close to destruction.

Just then, someone suddenly knocked on Soichiro Yagami's car window.

Just as he was about to show his displeasure at being interrupted, he saw the white mask with light gold patterns outside the window.

"You are! ?"

Soichiro Yagami quickly opened the car door and got out of the police car he was in.

He saw the three mysterious people who had accompanied "Kamen" during the Teru Teru Bozu Killer incident standing in front of him.

"Chief Yagami, time is of the essence, so let's get straight to the point."

Miko Yotsuya spoke quickly.

"Please tell us the locations of all the power plants responsible for supplying electricity to Kyoto. Also, we want to use the police headquarters' dedicated communication channels and radios to maintain contact with each other."

"Please send two heavy firepower units from the police headquarters to go with us to the power plants to confront the enemy."

"And most importantly..."

Hearing Miko Yotsuya say this, Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima both flickered their eyes slightly.

According to the original plan, there were only the first two conditions.

What exactly is the last condition?

Miko Yotsuya looked directly into Soichiro Yagami's eyes and slowly said.

"It's 7:05 now. If we haven't sent back any news by 8:30, I hope you can convince the higher-ups of the Kyoto Prefectural Police to evacuate the residents of the entire city of Kyoto."

"The entire city of Kyoto?"

Soichiro Yagami's expression changed, and his pupils widened in shock.

"Is... is that necessary?"

Miko Yotsuya replied without hesitation.

"Yes."

There was one thing that Miko Yotsuya was unsure about.

Since the essence of the Reverse World is a psychical world made up of the negative emotions and thoughts of the citizens of Kyoto...

Then, if the number of Kyoto citizens suddenly decreased, or even disappeared completely, would the Reverse World still change?

Or would it disappear completely?

Miko Yotsuya wasn't sure, but for the safety of the citizens of Kyoto and the safety of Yozora in the Reverse World, evacuating the entire city was worth a try.

"This... the difficulty is too high, I can't do it."

Although Soichiro Yagami wanted to agree, he understood that he was powerless to do so.

"In this emergency situation where the entire city has lost power and is without lighting, even if we start evacuating now while it's still daylight, given the vast size of Kyoto, we'll only be able to evacuate a small portion of the citizens by 8:30. Moreover, I don't have a reason that can convince the higher-ups, so I really can't do it."

"I see..."

Miko Yotsuya knew that as "Kamen's" assistant, Soichiro Yagami would definitely do it if he could.

It was just that things happened suddenly, and it was indeed too late.

"Then, can you do the other two conditions I just mentioned?"

"This... that's not a problem."

Soichiro Yagami frowned.

"I can provide you with the police headquarters' dedicated radios and specially allocate a channel for you to use. As for the heavy firepower unit... as the Criminal Investigation Department Chief, I also have the power to bypass the higher-ups and directly mobilize them... but..."

Soichiro Yagami looked around and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"You have another friend... he...?"

"He's alive and well."
