In fact, at the beginning, the three psychic girls didn't take Sayu seriously at all.
They did come here according to Fang Zheng's instructions, and Sayu also received them very warmly. After all, these three people are different from Hanabi. According to Fang Zheng, they have fighting ability. Sayu is also very much looking forward to this. After all, she is just an ordinary person who can only use some special means to fight those ghouls. Isn't she better than these three psychic girls?
The psychic girls also learned about the ghouls from Sayu. It must be said that they were really shocked when they knew that there were actually races in the world that feed on humans. But in the end, the three of them agreed to do the job. After all, they had nowhere else to go, and from what Sayu said, it seemed that people like them were not cared about here at all. So they decided to give it a try.
Of course, although Sayu is the senior of the three, the three psychic girls do not think highly of Sayu, because Sayu is just an ordinary person who can't even see the spirits they control. Therefore, the three psychic girls were ambitious at the beginning and wanted to show their abilities to this ordinary person, what is the ability of a psychic!
Sayu was not aware of the three psychic girls' idea, but it was good to have help, because the Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters was currently cleaning up the entire Tokyo and its surrounding areas, and they also needed manpower. Sayu also accepted Ida's commission to clean up the ghouls in the 24th district.
The so-called 24th District is actually a deep area in Tokyo's underground sewers. After Fang Zheng killed the bronze tree, most of the ghouls escaped from Tokyo, but some of them hid in the sewers. Since the sewers are complicated, it is difficult to find these ghouls, but it is different after the three psychic girls join. They can control spirits, which ordinary people cannot see. In addition, spirits can pass through walls, which is just like turning on invincibility and wall-penetrating cheats. So Sayu also took the three psychic girls deep into the 24th District of the sewers and began to encircle and clean up the ghouls.
Everything was going quite smoothly at the beginning. Although ordinary ghouls were strong and had tentacles, they had no spiritual power after all. So the fight between the three psychic girls was like playing. Sayu, on the other hand, kept following behind them, looking like she needed protection - which was actually true, after all, she had no spiritual power and little fighting ability. She was just an ordinary high school girl.
However, when the zombies became serious, the three psychic girls suddenly felt tremendous pressure.
Although the spirits they controlled were indeed invincible, the three psychic girls themselves were not invincible. Apart from the fact that they had spiritual power to control spirits, they were not much different from ordinary girls. Moreover, using super spirits consumed spiritual power. Since they solved the ghouls too easily at the beginning, the three psychic girls were somewhat complacent, and their spiritual power was over-consumed. As a result, when they walked past the corner and found hundreds of ghouls waiting in front of them, they were stunned.
What to do? Of course, turn around and run! !
When they turned back to run, the three thought that Sayu was running too slowly, and even thought about just abandoning her here. But then they thought that if Fang Zheng came back and knew about this, they would be dead, so they had to bite the bullet and save her - of course, they were also prepared that if they really couldn't save her, they would have to abandon her. After all, for them, their own lives were the most important.
But what the three people didn't expect was that after they ran for a distance, they saw Sayu suddenly turn around, then closed one of the gates with force, and then pressed the button in her hand.
The next moment, a dull explosion suddenly came from inside the gate.
The three psychic girls had no idea what was going on inside. They only felt that the air around them seemed to become hotter, and Sayu leaned against the wall, gasping for breath... After a long while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"Alright, all the ghouls inside have been eliminated."
Then, Sayu spoke to the three psychic girls with a smile on her face.
The psychic girls naturally didn't believe this. There were hundreds of zombies. Even if they activated their super spiritual state, it was impossible for them to kill so many zombies.
So they asked their spirit holders to observe the situation.
The result shocked them greatly - on the other side of the gate, those zombies that were originally baring their fangs and claws had all turned into corpses.
They just couldn't understand how Sayu did it.
In the end, it was Sayu who solved their puzzlement. It turned out that she had been observing the terrain on the way down. In fact, Sayu had long known that there was a closed space ahead, so she set up remote-controlled incendiary bombs and explosive bombs here. After attracting the zombies underground, she immediately closed the gate and then detonated them directly.
Simply put, this is the principle of thermobaric bombs. Large amounts of combustion cause a temporary hypoxia reaction. Although the ghouls are called ghouls, they are not undead creatures, but living organisms. Once they lose their oxygen supply, they will also die.
But what frightened them was not just this, but that even after killing so many zombies, Sayu's expression did not change at all. After making sure it was safe inside, she even opened the gate again, checked the corpses one by one, and finally set a fire to burn them all clean.
During the entire process, Sayu's expression seemed very calm. Apart from occasionally complaining about "it's so heavy" and "it's so hard to burn", her behavior was no different from that of an ordinary high school girl.
But for the three psychic girls, they will never forget Sayu's expression as she said "thank you for your hard work" with a smile in front of the burning pile of corpses.
It was also because of this that, after that, the three psychic girls trembled in their hearts when they saw Sayu, even if Sayu acted very enthusiastic - or rather, because she acted very enthusiastic, the three psychic girls always had a fear that she would burn them to death at any time.
To be honest, they were really afraid of Sayu.
After all, according to reason, ordinary people should be touched by such a scene, even if they are not scared to death. However, Sayu's indifference, which seemed to completely ignore the ghouls as living things, made the psychic girls feel an indescribable fear.
It's like in a horror movie, if you see someone feasting on a corpse and behaving like they're having afternoon tea, you'd also find it scary.
"……Why……"
After listening to the stories of the three psychic girls, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.
"Your mental quality is really poor... Just some zombies can scare you like this..."
"Wait, is this our problem?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the blue-haired woman in the lead was bewildered.
So many corpses...Okay, although the prototype of the ghoul does not look like a human, but seeing so many corpses without changing his expression or heartbeat, is that a human being?
Why do I feel like we are normal people?
"It's okay. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. You will get familiar with it after practicing more."
Fang Zheng also laughed.
"Actually, it's the same with Sayu. At the beginning, she was just an ordinary high school girl, but you see she has grown up very fast now, hasn't she?"
“…”
growing up?
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the three psychic girls looked at each other silently.
growing up?
What kind of growth could turn an ordinary high school girl into a murderer who can remain calm in the face of a corpse and even destroy and burn the body?
This is brainwashing!!
Is it really okay for us to stay here?!
At this moment, the three of them began to seriously consider their future.
After comforting the three psychic girls and asking them to get along well with Sayu, Fang Zheng stopped caring about this issue for the time being. The three psychic girls didn't get along with Sayu before, simply because they were not used to it. As the saying goes, first time is strange, second time is familiar, and after cooperating a few times, they will get used to it.
Fang Zheng also had experience with this. For example, at the third coordinate point, when the priestess and the others followed Huihui out at first, they were all very nervous, fearing that they would not be killed by the goblins, but instead be faked dead by friendly forces. Later, after getting used to it, they even developed a trick of exploding on the spot to kill both parties...
From this we can see that habit is really a very terrible thing.
The same goes for the three psychic girls. Fang Zheng believes that as long as they cooperate with Sayu a few more times, they will be able to get along well.
Not long after Fang Zheng came back, he received another call from Ida.
"Hey, you're finally back? What on earth have you been doing?"
"It's just a little trouble. It's been solved. But you must have something to ask me."
Fang Zheng was casually flipping through the magazine in front of him while he was talking, and Ida was silent for a moment.
"Well, of course there is something. Have you... seen a ghost?"
“Yes.”
After all, there were a lot of spirits at the psychic conference just now.
"That's good. In fact, our Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters has recently discovered a new threat..."
At this point, Ida's tone seemed a little solemn.
"To be honest, I find it a little strange. Why didn't I seem to see anything like this before, but now it seems like all of them have appeared..."
"Maybe it's your illusion."
Fang Zheng replied casually. Of course he knew what was going on. Right now, this world was a bit like a spiritual resurrection. At the beginning, this was indeed just an ordinary world. But now Fang Zheng has broken three seals in succession, which means that all kinds of demons and monsters are about to come out for a visit.
"so what?"
"In short, this problem is difficult for us to solve, and we can only rely on you..."
"All right."
After listening to what Ida said, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment. He also understood why Ida came to him. Although the Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters has faced many supernatural beings so far, no matter whether it is a parasitic beast, a ghoul, or a monster, they are all things that can be eliminated as long as there is enough firepower.
But ghosts are different...
Judging from Ida's tone, it is clear that this time the Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters has encountered trouble that they are unable to handle.
And at this time... Fang Zheng appeared.
"I see. I'll go check out the situation."
