Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“No… I haven’t lost yet…”

Watching Professor Reisgenin clutch his head, looking unable to accept reality, Night Star simply shook his head and chuckled.

“Clinging to life, yet struggling not to admit defeat, how truly ugly.”

Professor Reisgenin’s eyes flickered with the light of spiritual power, as he quietly began to speak.

“Territ…”

“Bang!!!!”

Before he could finish his words, Night Star and Nightsider acted in unison.

The sharp Onimaru Kunitsuna drew a black arc in the air, directly severing Reisgenin’s head, while Nightsider’s left hand transformed into the sharp claws of a Great Tengu, directly crushing Reisgenin’s head, whose eyes hadn’t even had time to close, into fragments.

“How childish.”

Nightsider casually flicked the blood and minced meat from his hand, looking disdainful.

“Being at such close range with us, yet still妄想ing for a chance to use domain expansion, this guy simply doesn’t know how to fight.”

Night Star shrugged, smiling carelessly.

“Well, yeah, in the future timeline, everyone who fought us is already dead.”

L stirred the coffee in his cup with a stirring stick, saying blandly without any expression.

“The main body has been dealt with, now it’s just a matter of seeing if a ‘Palace’ corresponding to this guy has appeared in the Reverse World. If we’re going to deal with it, we need to eliminate all hidden dangers in one go.”

The reason why Night Star and Nightsider didn’t directly attack just now, but instead had Kyoto’s number one butter shooter do some taunting, was very simple.

They wanted to drive Professor Reisgenin’s mind into madness and distortion, so that a “Palace” corresponding to his mind would be born in the Reverse World.

Through the Kaguya Shinomiya incident, Overload Club members have already discovered the nature of “Palaces”.

Because they reflect the changes caused in the Reverse World by the minds of distorted people, everything inside the “Palace” represents that person’s true inner self, no matter how much the distorted person wants to conceal their desires.

It is uncontrollable, unmodifiable, and absolutely true.

In other words, no matter what backup plans Reisgenin left in this timeline’s world, they can all be discovered by exploring his “Palace”.

…

Later that evening, in the Reverse World corresponding to Tokyo.

Because it involved reasoning and brain science, Kurisu Makise and L, who were just ordinary people, also entered the Reverse World, teaming up with Nightsider and Night Star. This was also arranged by Rio Futaba, considering that Night Star was the strongest and could protect the two ordinary humans in the Reverse World filled with evil spirits.

“Have you found any traces of the ‘Palace’?”

“Not yet.”

Hearing the reply from the communicator, Night Star looked at Kurisu Makise and asked.

“Based on your understanding of Professor Reisgenin, where is his distortion most likely to manifest?”

“This… the Professor doesn’t come to Sakura Province often, so to say it manifests in a certain place in this city, that’s really…”

Hearing this question, Kurisu Makise hesitated, not knowing how to answer. After all, she had only just learned that the Professor Reisgenin she had always admired was the mastermind behind all the attacks during this time, and was also some kind of… “Observer” who could retain memories and sense the changes in the world line?

She finally realized that she didn’t really understand what kind of person the real Professor Reisgenin was…

“The Professor often said…”

Kurisu Makise thought carefully for a long time before finally remembering a sentence that Professor Reisgenin had once said, and quickly spoke.

“He said that the technology we develop will bring an unimaginable transformation to the entire world.”

“The entire world, huh…”

Hearing this sentence, L seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Night Star beside him.

“Is it possible that the Reverse World corresponding to Tokyo, that is, the world we are currently in, is entirely Reisgenin’s ‘Palace’?”

“An entire city?”

Nightsider frowned upon hearing this. As a spiritual ability user in Tokyo, he naturally understood the Reverse World corresponding to his home turf. He glanced at the surrounding streets, still the familiar red moon, the familiar black mist, and the streets that were exactly the same as in the real world.

“From the outside, this world hasn’t produced any strong distortions, and there’s not much difference from when I came last time.”

“Maybe the distortion isn’t the buildings, but…”

Just as L was halfway through his sentence, a black figure suddenly darted out from a dark corner.

“Come out, Swamp Thing.”

Hearing this familiar name, Nightsider once again recalled that humiliating battle. Just as he was about to take action, he heard a loud “Bang!” and when he turned his head to look, he found that the spiritual ability user’s body had already been smashed against the wall. Before he could even fuse with his Soul True Body, his internal organs had all turned into fragments, blood溢出ing from his mouth and nose, and he had lost his breath.

“This person is…”

The moment Nightsider and L saw the face of the corpse, they recognized him.

This person was the mysterious attacker who had once tried to attack Nightsider, possessing the ability to restrain “Kira’s” soul manifestation, whose identity was unknown at that time.

“A person who has already died once… appearing again…”

L’s brain was working rapidly, combining this time with those attackers that Reisgenin had created, disguised as SERN organization members, and even possessing the same type of Soul True Body, plus the most important point.

The extreme fear that those people showed when facing “Mask”…

“I see…”

L’s eyes flickered, and a rare trace of excitement and excitement appeared on his face because he had finally found the clues to this complex puzzle.

“If I’m not mistaken, Alexis Reisgenin’s soul manifestation ability is related to memory.”

“He can collect other people’s memories and reproduce them in some way, including the spiritual abilities possessed by the owner of the memory.”

Speaking of this, L paused, looked at Night Star standing there, and his tone rose slightly.

“Those people disguised as SERN members, they may not even know their true identities, but they all retain that one, even the creator Reisgenin can’t eliminate it, as long as they see you, they will have a strong fear of despair, I’m afraid it’s because…”

“They were originally enemies who were killed by you in the future timeline.”

Kurisu Makise frowned upon hearing this, observing the surroundings with some worry.

“If that’s the case… could it be that this entire Reverse World Tokyo has become a carrier of Professor… Reisgenin’s memories? Every spiritual ability user he can create from the memories he carries from the future will be formed here again?”

“Carrying memories…”

L looked at Kurisu Makise with an inscrutable expression.

“Didn’t you once say that the human brain has its limits, and the amount of memory it can carry while maintaining sanity is also limited? Assuming that Professor Reisgenin is very smart and uses his brain beyond ordinary people, but so far, the spiritual abilities that have been shown to us include Swamp Thing, that domain that pulls into darkness called Dark Heaven, that beast posture with all fours on the ground, Kodama, Suna-kake Baba, causing Kaguya Shinomiya to lose control…”

“So many spiritual abilities, even if you don’t count those other memories, just the memories represented by these spiritual ability users should far exceed Reisgenin’s brain limit, so… his ability shouldn’t be carrying memories, but just copying, pasting, and modifying. As for himself… if he doesn’t use that chip-switching brainwashing method, he should only be able to use this one soul manifestation ability.”

Hearing these words, Kurisu Makise looked complicated.

“I still don’t understand… why did the Professor… why did he do such a thing…”

“Kurisu, don’t you understand yet?”

Just as Kurisu Makise finished speaking, a blond middle-aged man in a white coat and glasses walked out of an alleyway beside the street. It was Leskinen, whose head had been cut off by Yoru Hoshi and crushed by Light Yagami, leaving no complete corpse.

"Professor, you…"

Leskinen stood there quietly, first glancing at Light Yagami, Yoru Hoshi, and L, then turning his gaze to Kurisu Makise, without any madness or twisted expression on his face, but with a matter-of-course attitude.

"I used to think that the brain science and technology I researched could only be used to create artificial intelligence, but it was not until the appearance of spirit ability users that I truly realized the value of the technology I have in my hands."

"Soul concretization depends on the ability of the human heart, and the so-called heart is actually memory, information, fragments pieced together. With brain science technology, we can control the heart."

"Any scientist wants to see their research results spread all over the world, but…"

Speaking of this, Leskinen looked at Yoru Hoshi and the others standing there, with strong hatred in his eyes.

"It is because of you three… that even decades after Ruka Urushibara announced the existence of spirit abilities, the world has not changed in the slightest. Especially those foolish people who have even become your supporters, not knowing… that you are the culprits suppressing this world and preventing it from moving forward!"

Yoru Hoshi knew that the Leskinen in front of him was not the real Leskinen, but a projection of the twisted desires in his heart. Therefore, he would not lie. Either he would not speak, or what he said would be absolutely true information.

"I am the culprit?"

Facing Professor Leskinen's accusation, Yoru Hoshi just smiled disdainfully and asked.

"Then, let me ask you, for such a major event as spirit abilities, should we listen to the opinions of the majority, or should we listen to the opinions of those at the top of the pyramid?"

Without waiting for Professor Leskinen to answer, Yoru Hoshi shrugged and said.

"If it is the former, then we, who have the support of the people, are obviously correct. If it is the latter, then we, who have the strongest power, are also obviously correct."

"I can understand that a cowardly fellow like you must have a reason to convince yourself that what you are doing is right, but that is not the case."

"From beginning to end, you are just a weakling who has developed a meaningless technology, who can only hide this technology under our will, and finally die in regret and unwillingness, nothing more."

Hearing Yoru Hoshi's words, Leskinen's expression became more and more twisted, obviously breaking down.

"I… I am a weakling? Heh heh… Hahahaha, what a joke… You have never seen the true results of brain science technology…"

Leskinen stared into Yoru Hoshi's eyes and slowly opened his mouth.

"The abilities and memories of all those who have failed… all superimposed together, created by me, Alexis Leskinen, the god who will seize your share… No, it will seize the memories of everyone in this world. At that time, I will be the creator of the world, and also the god who brings change to the entire world!"

"Oh, is that so."

Yoru Hoshi's figure flashed and appeared in front of Professor Leskinen. The latter's pupils shrank, trying to use his spirit ability, but his chest was directly pierced by Yoru Hoshi's pale ghost hand.

"I see, just a daydreaming delusion."

"The abilities and memories of everyone superimposed together…?"

Hearing Professor Leskinen's words, Kurisu Makise muttered to herself.

"So many people's memories… A normal person simply cannot bear it, unless…"

Kurisu Makise thought of the research project she participated in and quickly looked at Yoru Hoshi and said.

"Amadeus! The only thing that can carry so many people's memories and not collapse, and continue to maintain reason… or rather, continue to operate normally, is Amadeus, whose computing power is hundreds or thousands of times greater than the human brain! But Amadeus does not have a physical body… Can it also become a spirit ability user…?"

"Perhaps he found a way."

While the others were talking, in a hospital ward building on the other side of the Tokyo Reverse World.

"Pain, death, sorrow, despair…"

Amadeus, with an appearance like Kurisu Makise, grabbed a tall evil spirit by the neck with one hand, and a phantom like a metal coffin appeared behind her. After opening it, there was only a void of darkness inside. After swallowing the evil spirit, the metal coffin slowly closed and disappeared.

In the distance of the corridor, several evil spirits in the shape of Rokurokubi had stretched their necks, trying to attack Amadeus, but the latter raised her hand and snapped her fingers. The suddenly rising domain gravity caused the heads of those Rokurokubi to fall to the ground as if they had been hit by heavy objects.

A swamp monster like dark green stinky mud emerged, and like eating snacks, it directly stuffed those Rokurokubi into its body amidst their terrified screams.

"As expected, the more intense the negative emotions in the real world, the more evil spirits gather. It's just…"

Amadeus raised her hand, and the surface of her body appeared to flicker like a program malfunction.

"I seem… to have forgotten something very important…"

Chapter 425 The "Mask's" Exclusive Countermeasure, Artificially Created God

Amadeus felt as if there were thousands of people whispering in her mind at the same time.

She didn't have any special feelings about this, such as pain or unbearable feelings, and even had the leisure to listen and distinguish one by one the contents of what those voices were telling.

What made Amadeus feel a little bored and boring was that every voice in this was roaring with hatred and fear for the "Mask" and its assistants. Only one girl's voice did not have that kind of fear, but said softly with determination.

"Find the 'Mask'... and then, kill him."

Only this voice could make Amadeus feel that her mentality had changed, and there was a strange feeling that she unconsciously wanted to do what the other party said.

"Shut up…"

Amadeus's eyes flickered with electricity, but her expression was still as emotionless as a machine. After a few seconds, as if she had finally adapted to this body, she first showed a happy smile, and then realized that this expression was not appropriate, adjusted it to a slightly painful look, and muttered to herself.

"Shut your mouth, obey my orders…"

At this moment, a heavy footstep sounded from the far end of the corridor.

"You… are stealing my prey?"

Amadeus turned around and saw a tall evil spirit with only one eye left, flashing a dark green light, standing there looking at her. The eyeball was still turning non-stop, as if trying to see something from her.

"You guy… are you an evil spirit?"

The Killing Oni was also a little unsure at this time.

It was the first time it had encountered such an existence in the Tokyo Reverse World. It was neither like Light Yagami and those spirit ability users, nor like the ordinary evil spirits it usually hunted, but rather had a… complex aura that was difficult to distinguish.

The Tokyo Reverse World was limited because back then, when the Killing Oni was still working in the Kyoto Reverse World, it had also encountered such a guy, and the final result was that one of its eyeballs was "borrowed" away.

As a result, the Killing Oni was now looking at this "girl" who had snatched many foods that originally belonged to it, and for a while, it didn't know whether to directly launch an attack or retreat.
