Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Yes, do you guys know each other?"

"I know her, but she doesn't know me."

Ye Xing brushed it off with familiar words, then asked with a smile.

"Is she on this island?"

"Yes, she just got back. She arrived two days before you."

"I see. Let's go then."

"Huh? Go where?"

"To find Minamikata Hizuru."

…

Although Ushio Kotsuru didn't understand what Ye Xing wanted to do, she accompanied him anyway.

During this process, she noticed a strange detail.

Even though Ye Xing said it was his first time on Nichito Island, he seemed more familiar with the nearby routes than she was. He didn't have that sense of being lost in an unfamiliar environment at all. It was as if… he had lived here for a long time.

As they passed through several narrow paths and arrived at a secluded mountain forest, just as Ushio Kotsuru couldn't contain her curiosity and wanted to ask what they were doing there, she suddenly heard a crisp sound of a rifle bolt being pulled back behind her and Ye Xing.

"Stay there, don't move."

Ushio Kotsuru subconsciously turned her head and saw an old man dressed like a forest ranger, wearing a hat and with a sturdy build, holding a shotgun, aiming at her and Ye Xing.

As a resident of the island, she naturally recognized him. Her expression was a little flustered, and she forced a smile, saying.

"G-Genzu-san… Pointing a gun at us like this… It's too dangerous, isn't it?"

Facing the old hunter's gun, Ye Xing didn't seem to care at all.

"If you want to confirm whether we are Shadows, wouldn't it be better to just shoot at our shadows? Threatening with a gun… I feel like you're a bit foolish."

Hearing this, Genzu Ginjiro's expression changed, but he still held the shotgun without lowering it, and said in a deep voice.

"You… you know about the Shadows too?"

"A little."

As soon as those two words fell, before Genzu Ginjiro could react, his vision suddenly blurred. He subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger, but he found that Ye Xing had used a finger to hold the back of the trigger. No matter how hard he tried, even if his face turned red, he couldn't press it down.

"Bang!"

Just then, Ushio Kotsuru suddenly heard a gunshot behind her and watched as the shadow cast on the ground by Ye Xing burst into a pit from being hit by the bullet.

"Didn't I tell you…"

Ye Xing turned his head, looked at the black-haired girl with long straight hair, whose chest size far exceeded ordinary people and was comparable to Yurikawa Hana, with a beauty mark below the corner of her mouth, and wearing glasses, and said with a light smile.

"Now you can be sure that I'm not a Shadow, right?"

Minamikata Hizuru didn't reply, but tied up her long black hair with a hair tie, making a high ponytail hairstyle.

"Sigh, why bother?"

Ye Xing shook his head and sighed with a slightly helpless expression.

"Your decision to do this now means that you will be beaten up by me in every timeline. I don't have a habit of torturing humans."

Minamikata Hizuru didn't reply, but narrowed her eyes slightly and flashed forward, rushing towards Ye Xing with a speed that was extremely professional and completely inconsistent with her beautiful and quiet appearance.

Minamikata Hizuru has a twin brother named Minamikata Ryunosuke. When she was young, she accidentally discovered the true face of Hatou, so Hatou copied and devoured him.

Hatou, who originally had a kind personality, couldn't accept the fact that he had devoured his friend's younger brother, so he split off the Shadow data of Minamikata Ryunosuke. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was fate, but in any case, Minamikata Ryunosuke's Shadow became a part of his sister, Minamikata Hizuru.

Simply put, Minamikata Hizuru has two personalities. When fighting, she will tie up her high ponytail like this, transforming into the personality of her younger brother, Minamikata Ryunosuke. Moreover, because of the Shadow's shift in the real dimension, Minamikata Ryunosuke lives in a dimension two seconds into the future, which is different from reality.

In other words, in this state, Minamikata Ryunosuke, who is controlling Minamikata Hizuru's body, has the ability to predict the future two seconds.

"Bang!"

Ye Xing continued to hold the trigger of the shotgun in Genzu Ginjiro's hand with one hand, while casually raising the other hand to block the whip kick that Minamikata Hizuru kicked with all her strength. His expression was still so relaxed, and he even had the leisure to complain.

"Your action of tying up your ponytail before a battle reminds me of a familiar person. The size is also similar, and they are both girls with glasses. If there's a chance, I can introduce you two to each other."

Minamikata Hizuru, or rather, Minamikata Ryunosuke, was not in the mood to reply at this time.

She never expected that her full-force whip kick would be so easily blocked by Ye Xing.

Feeling the pain coming from the bones of her calf, Minamikata Ryunosuke had already reacted.

Although his fighting sense is very strong, Minamikata Hizuru's body is not a Shadow, but just an ordinary person.

Just now, at that moment, the bones of this body's calf had already fractured upon impact.

Minamikata Ryunosuke quickly took a few steps back, opened the distance, and observed Ye Xing standing there, biting his silver teeth. He thought that the other party was indeed not a Shadow, and the shot he had just fired had already confirmed this point.

But if it's not a Shadow… why would he possess such terrifying physical fitness and reaction speed?

What exactly is the other party…

Just then, Minamikata Ryunosuke saw the future two seconds later.

He… no, his sister's body fell to the ground, her life or death unknown.

Now that he had predicted the future, Minamikata Ryunosuke would naturally not sit still and wait for death. Just as he was about to defend against Ye Xing's attack, he suddenly felt a blur flash before his eyes, followed by his vision gradually turning black.

Watching Minamikata Hizuru being knocked unconscious by him and falling to the ground with a thud, Ye Xing clapped his hands with a light smile.

"Done."

As a player who has seen the walkthrough, Ye Xing is of course very clear about Minamikata Hizuru's special ability.

Predicting the future two seconds?

Indeed very strong.

It's a pity that the hardware configuration can't keep up.

If the body and mind are completely unable to react, it's only two seconds, and nothing can be changed.

Just then, a gunshot rang out.

“Bang!”

The birds hidden in the woods scattered and fled.

“Nightstar!”

Looking at the gunpowder smoke erupting from the muzzle of the hunting rifle, Kozouchio's face changed in shock. Immediately after, however, she discovered that Nightstar was still standing there perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened, except for a metallic object between his index finger and thumb.

“Old bro,”

Nightstar turned to look at Ginjiro Nezu, whose face was filled with disbelief, and said with a smile.

“I can react to bullets.”

Ginjiro Nezu and Kozouchio were both dumbfounded.

Catching a bullet with bare hands?

Are you even human?

When Nightstar said he could react to bullets, it wasn't entirely the truth.

If it were a firearm like the Metropolitan Police Department's dedicated sniper rifle, which fires bullets that have reached supersonic speeds, he wouldn't be able to react based solely on his own senses.

However, for subsonic bullets from civilian hunting rifles like this one, where the sound is faster than the bullet, at a distance of five meters, not only Nightstar, but even Miko Yotsuya, could react if they anticipated the other party would fire.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people like Ginjiro Nezu and Kozouchio, there is no difference between subsonic bullets, sonic bullets, and supersonic bullets.

Is this guy really human!?

… …

A few minutes later, when Nango Nichizuru finally woke up, he saw Nightstar leaning against a tree, with Ginjiro Nezu and Kozouchio beside him, their faces complex.

Feeling the pain coming from his calf, Nango Nichizuru frowned slightly, and was about to let Ryunosuke's personality take over his body, when Ginjiro Nezu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

“Nichizuru, don't do anything yet. This young man really doesn't have any malicious intentions towards us. Why don't we listen to what he has to say first?”

Ginjiro Nezu wasn't stupid either.

Based on his skill of catching bullets with his bare hands, if Nightstar really wanted to kill him and Nango Nichizuru, wouldn't he have already done it? Why wait until now?

“Since Mr. Nezu has said so…”

Nango Nichizuru gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his calf, and adjusted his glasses.

“Then let's hear what you have to say.”

Next, Nightstar told Nango Nichizuru, Ginjiro Nezu, and Kozouchio about the current time loop, the true identity of Hiruko Kanami, who was actually a high-dimensional being that drifted to this island three hundred years ago and was the source of all the shadows, and the real mastermind behind the scenes, Yanagi Masago, as well as his background.

“You're saying…”

Kozouchio said hesitantly, with an incredulous look on her face.

“That Yanagi Masago is the founder of the Rhombus Hospital, Suiko Hishigata, and he has been procreating with Kanami, constantly producing his own children, and then using the power of shadows to copy his own memories, and that's how… he has survived for three hundred years?”

Kozouchio was dumbfounded, and even felt a little nauseous, frowning tightly.

“Doesn't that… doesn't that mean… Kanami is both his wife… and his mother? This… this is too disgusting.”

Nightstar looked at the silent Nango Nichizuru and said in a calm tone.

“You should know that since I can say Kanami's name, I'm not just making things up to you.”

“I understand…”

Nango Nichizuru had only told Ginjiro Nezu about his younger brother Ryunosuke's death and his friendship with someone named Kanami.

Since Nightstar could say Kanami's name, it was highly likely that everything he had just said was true.

“Then, since you were able to successfully approach Kanami once, why did you…”

Nango Nichizuru was only halfway through his sentence when Nightstar raised his hand, interrupting him with a serious expression.

“Don't rush, help me with something first, it's very important.”

… …

Meanwhile, at Rio Futaba's house.

“Nightstar… is actually able to retain the memories of the time loops… even though we haven't felt anything…”

Yui Yuigahama's voice already carried a hint of crying.

“Are we… really just able to watch from the sidelines? Not to mention helping, we can't even share the memories of the timelines with him…”

Hearing these words, the members were all speechless.

Kasuna Touma suddenly stood up. Seeing her movement, Mai Sakurajima hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

“What are you going to do?”

“What am I going to do? Of course, I'm going to Nichito Island.”

Kasuna Touma looked calm and composed, but her hands were already clenched tightly, and she bit her silver teeth lightly.

“I can't accept letting him repeat the battle over and over again in a crisis-ridden place, while I can only stand by and watch. I want to be with him.”

Hearing this, Mai Sakurajima also had the same impulse as Kasuna Touma, but at this moment, she could only remain rational and dissuade her.

“Even if you go, you won't be able to change anything. Besides, Nightstar might not think it's so painful, right? After all, you know, he…”

“How can he be happy on a strange island surrounded by enemies?”

Just as Kasuna Touma's voice fell, before Mai Sakurajima could continue to dissuade her, the phones of all the members present suddenly rang at the same time.

Rio Futaba saw on the screen that it was a text message from Nightstar, and her pupils shrank in shock, fearing that something unexpected had happened to him. She hurriedly picked up her phone and eagerly checked the contents of the message.

But in the next second, the members were all stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, their faces full of speechless expressions.

The content of the message was a photo. On Nightstar's left was a beautiful blonde girl with fair skin who looked like a mixed-race, and on his right was a young woman with glasses and a black, long, straight hairstyle that exuded an intellectual aura.

And below, there was also a sentence attached.

“I'm doing very well on Nichito Island, please don't worry, my beloved concubines.”
