A Hollow is the Murder Suspect?

Tenya shook his head, activating the Sharingan.

"Then, why..."

Miko expressed her confusion.

"Let go of me!"

"You bastard!"

"How dare you stop me from going to sister!"

Kyousuke, blocked by the imposing presence, bared his teeth at Tenya, his eyes flashing with a bestial ferocity.

"Brother? How did you become like this..." Miko's eyes widened instantly.

Before he died, Kyousuke was a well-behaved little boy. How could he become so violent?

"Brother, calm down."

Bestial claws grew from Mamoru's hands.

"Dad, what is this?"

Miko looked at Mamoru with a face full of horror.

"Dad feels so much pain, so lonely..."

"I don't want to be separated from Miko and Touko."

"Our family, together forever, okay?"

As Mamoru spoke, his emotions began to become abnormal, and a strange white mist began to emanate from his body.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"They were probably subjected to a strange attack before they died."

Tenya, relying on the insight of his Sharingan, could see some clues.

The souls of the two had both been injected with a strange aura, gradually undergoing some kind of transformation.

"What?!"

"Could it be that dad and brother didn't die in a traffic accident?"

Miko was first startled, a look of surprise and doubt appearing on her face.

She remembered that a year ago, her dad was riding an electric bike with her brother to buy things, and they were hit and run over by a passing truck, both dying on the spot.

The traffic accident report wrote exactly that.

When Miko asked to see their bodies one last time, she was stopped by the relevant organization, who claimed that the bodies were severely damaged and inconvenient for family members to view, and had already been taken directly to the crematorium.

Miko had her doubts, but in order to take care of her grief-stricken mother, she didn't have the energy to pursue the matter of the bodies.

"Impossible!"

"At that time, we were driving in a narrow alley, where would there be a truck?"

Mamoru immediately denied it.

"I think I saw something strange..."

"Wearing a mask, with a hole in its chest, using really big claws to kill us."

Kyousuke gestured with his hands and feet.

Tenya asserted, "It seems you were indeed subjected to an attack from some supernatural entity."

"Afterward, the truth was concealed by the relevant organization, and it was announced to the outside world that it was an ordinary traffic accident."

Not long ago, he eliminated the Spider Woman possessing Minami, and the mysterious organization that rushed to the scene cleaned up the site and announced to the outside world that it was a gas explosion accident.

"How could this be..."

Miko, who learned the truth, couldn't help but cry sadly.

She, who could see the extraordinary, originally thought that as long as she ignored them, she would not be harmed.

She never expected that her own relatives would be tragically killed.

Seeing Miko cry, Mamoru and Kyousuke seemed to be stimulated, and their emotions became agitated again.

"Miko!"

"Sister!"

"Come on. Hurry over here!"

"A family should be together!"

With that, the two walked towards Miko with steps that ignored their kinship.

"Ah?!"

Miko was scared by their terrifying appearance and retreated, subconsciously hiding behind Tenya.

"Miko?"

"Why refuse?"

"Sister?"

"Why be afraid?"

"Are you going to abandon us too?"

Mamoru and Kyousuke began to go berserk, their bodies further transforming.

They grew sharp teeth and claws, tearing through their clothes, revealing the hole in their chests, and white mist formed a mask on their faces, covering half of their faces.

"This appearance..."

Tenya's eyes narrowed.

The hole in the chest and the mask.

He immediately thought of the evil spirits from the Bleach anime he had watched in his previous life — Hollows!

Some souls, due to their lingering attachment to the Living World or other hindering factors, cannot move on and wander in the places that attract them, eventually gradually degenerating into Hollows.

The characteristics of Hollows are a hole in their chest, representing the emptiness in their hearts, and the mask on their faces.

Due to their longing for their loved ones, they often go to extremes, eventually evolving into harming the people closest to them.

"Dad!"

"Brother!"

"Please wake up!"

Miko cried and pleaded, trying to wake the two up.

"Wuu Aooo Aooo Aooo!!"

The two's eyes were bloodshot, clearly having lost their minds, and they lunged at Miko with bared teeth and claws.

Bang!

Bang!

Tenya punched them one by one, heavily knocking them to the ground.

His Sharingan glared.

"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!"

He pulled the two into the genjutsu space and inserted huge spikes into their bodies, sealing all their movements.

"Ah Ah Ah!"

The two, who were immobilized, let out mournful cries of pain.

"Yoshida-san..."

Seeing this, Miko felt a pang of pity and tugged at his sleeve.

"Don't worry, Yotsuya-san."

"It's just suppressing their movements."

Tenya didn't directly kill them.

Under the effect of the pain, the two, who were tightly suppressed, gradually regained consciousness.

The Hollow mask covering half of their faces also gradually shattered.

"Sorry, Miko..."

"Dad scared you."

Mamoru apologized with a face full of guilt.

"Sister, I'm sorry..."

Kyousuke also apologized.

"Dad..."

"Brother..."

Miko's eyes welled up with tears again.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life."

"Say your goodbyes."

Tenya sighed deeply.

The souls of the two in front of him had mostly been eroded by the Hollow, which is an irreversible process.

He was currently only using the ocular power of the Sharingan to temporarily suppress their Hollowfication.

Once time passed, the two would still undergo Hollowfication again, thus completely losing their minds.

"Thank you, young man."

"Being able to say goodbye to my family, I have no regrets about dying."

Mamoru felt relieved.

"Are you sister's boyfriend?" Kyousuke asked curiously.

"You're so young, what are you talking about?"

Miko's face turned red, and she feigned anger as she pulled her brother's ear.

"Ow ow ow!"

"I was wrong!"

"Sister, you're so fierce, how could any man like you?"

Kyousuke shouted, unrepentant.

"You stinky brother, what did you say?" Miko became even angrier upon hearing this.

The sibling's playful banter seemed to take them back to the past.

"Heh heh~"

Mamoru smiled in relief, then looked towards the door, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

Tenya noticed this subtle detail and, with a flicker in his eyes, suggested, "Yotsuya-san, go and call Auntie over too."
