"Hmm? This big brother~~"
In a secret laboratory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, little Tsukuyomi floated in the air and circled Kamijo Touma's "corpse," clicking her tongue in amazement.
"His body is completely intact, but his soul can't be summoned back. It seems to be 'stuck' by something."
?
What kind of explanation was that?
Dolly, Hikari, Ie, and the others beside her were all full of question marks. Only Tokugawa Shizuka, who had calmed down, tried to communicate with the little princess.
"Princess Tsukuyomi, do you mean Touma's soul is being held in Yellow Springs and can't return?"
Snap.
"That's right."
She snapped her fingers.
The little girl floating in the air wore an expression that said, "You're teachable."
"The death of the body is only the first layer—of course, for mortals, that means being separated forever by life and death."
Given little Tsukuyomi's identity, there was nothing inappropriate about her saying that. After all, she had never been a "mortal" to begin with. Or rather, even if she called herself human, no one else would dare acknowledge it.
"The destruction of the soul is the second layer. My Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique brings souls back from Yellow Springs, then gives them bodies again."
As she spoke, little Tsukuyomi pointed at Kamijo Touma's "corpse" lying on the high-tech operating table.
"This big brother's soul has clearly been restricted in Yellow Springs for some reason."
So even she could not revive him.
Simply put, every technique had different levels of "authority."
For example, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal could restrain Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, while the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique could erase the restrictions of Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation. Clearly, there were also differences in authority between techniques.
"My current strength is only a mere Ghost Rank."
