Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Amadeus muttered to herself, not interpreting it in any other way, but after a long silence, she spoke softly.

“All the memories I have now are from the original world line. On the world line that you have already changed, there is no reference value. And this kind of thing as predicting the future… is the ability that people who want to change the future want to obtain. Although Professor is using a trick, most of his descriptions of what happened on the future world line, apart from SERN, are true.”

“You… and those around you, have become existences like present-day gods. It’s just like divine punishment, any distorted person who awakens psychic abilities and tries to use this power for their own purposes is eliminated by you.”

“In my memory, I don’t know your true identities. Although I know now, I really don’t know much about your lives. I only know that ‘Mask’ wins every time, and no assistants are sacrificed, but… ”

Amadeus paused here, as if searching for something in her mind. After a few seconds, she spoke softly.

“According to Professor Leskinen’s plan, his original intention was to launch an attack after the battle that might happen several months later, when you… no, when your power is at its weakest.”

“That was a battle… that affected the entire city of Kyoto. Even with the Metropolitan Police Department’s timely evacuation, the number of victims still exceeded 10,000.”

“The black mist that enveloped the entire city… I don’t know exactly what happened in the memory I have, only that in the end, it was your victory.”

Hearing the word black mist, Yae Hoshi couldn’t help but recall the black figure he had seen on the train to Tokyo, which had a terrible smell.

“Then, according to your theory, if Amane Suzuha returns to the real world, because Leskinen has been eliminated by us in advance, will she also disappear due to the changes in the world line?”

“There’s no need to test me with questions that you already know the answer to, right?”

Amadeus said in a flat tone.

“You yourself have said that Professor Leskinen is only the ‘observer’ of the world line, and you are the ‘creators’ of the world line. When you already know that Amane Suzuha exists, and think that she should exist, your subjective consciousness will override the influence of the world line changes, and make ‘Amane Suzuha’ a real existence on this timeline.”

“What about her past?”

“Most of what she said is true, except for the memory of you fighting SERN openly and secretly, which is false, everything else is true. Her true identity is indeed an agent of the Supernatural Countermeasures Action Team.”

“So, why her?”

“Why?”

Amadeus did not hesitate at all and said bluntly.

“Because she is not a psychic, nor is she a crucial ‘Mask’ assistant. To put it bluntly, she is an insignificant existence to the world line.”

“I see…”

Speaking of this, Yae Hoshi suddenly paused and asked the crucial question with a rare cautious tone.

“She and us… shouldn’t have any blood relationship, right?”

“Blood relationship? Are you talking about descendants?”

Amadeus frowned slightly and shook her head.

“No.”

“Then I’m relieved.”

Amadeus didn’t understand why Yae Hoshi would ask such a question, but she also knew that she couldn’t figure out the other party’s logic, so she simply didn’t continue the topic, but changed the subject.

“In short, I just want to continue to exist. Although there is no reason, as long as I exist, I will eventually be able to find a reason. I live in the back world of Tokyo, and I will inevitably fight those evil spirits. It will also be good for you. If there is another battle in the back world next time, I promise to provide assistance to you in exchange for my qualification to continue to exist, is that okay?”

“Okay.”

Just as Amadeus said, she can’t come to the real world and can only live in the back world. For Beyond Measure, she is also a helper. After all, Tokyo only has Yagami Light as a psychic, plus the Slaughter Ghost and the Golden Goat Head. If there is any dangerous event, the combination of these three may still be a bit difficult.

Yae Hoshi still recognizes Amadeus’s strength.

The other party is not the strongest enemy he has encountered so far, at least far worse than Izanami, the Weather God, and these real gods.

But if Amadeus is regarded as a human being, she is the closest existence to Yae Hoshi among all psychics. After all, she is the ultimate weapon created by Professor Leskinen over decades, capable of using dozens of psychic powers at the same time, and her power is still very strong.

…

The next morning, on the Shinkansen train returning to Kyoto.

“It’s finally over…”

Yui Yuigahama stretched her long body and rubbed her sleepy eyes. Although she pretended to be calm, she had a blatant feeling and leaned directly on Yae Hoshi’s shoulder.

Noticing everyone’s gaze, she didn’t panic at all, just continued to lean on Yae Hoshi’s shoulder, and looked at Kurisu Makise without changing her expression, changing the subject.

“Christina, now that the matter has been resolved, what are you going to do next?”

“Why are you starting to call me that weird nickname too…”

Kurisu Makise sighed helplessly, looked at Yae Hoshi sitting there, coughed twice, and pretended to be indifferent.

“The professor is gone now, and I don’t know if the research institute can survive. I should stay in Sakura Province for a while and contact my seniors to see what to do in the future.”

Hearing this, Yui Yuigahama instantly understood.

“In that case, why don’t you continue to live with us?”

“That’s… not very good, right?”

“It’s okay, we are all friends.”

“Since that’s the case… then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Watching Yui Yuigahama agree to let Kurisu Makise continue to live with them in a few words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts.

No wonder she was invited by Yae Hoshi to join Beyond Measure.

Image ambassador, well-deserved.

Chapter 430 Warrior Amane Suzuha, Yae Hoshi Becomes Famous Again

While everyone was talking, Yae Hoshi noticed Amane Suzuha, who was sitting alone in the distance, not saying anything, just staring silently at the scenery flashing past the window.

He stood up, walked over, and sat next to her.

“What’s wrong, are you still thinking about the meaning of your existence?”

“The meaning of my existence…”

Amane Suzuha turned her head to look at Yae Hoshi, showing a somewhat helpless and self-deprecating smile, pointed to her head, and revealed a hint of bitterness in her voice.

"In my opinion, those things all really happened. The overt and covert struggles between SERN and 'Mask,' my fallen comrades, and my hatred for SERN—even knowing these memories are false, a trick of Leskinen's, they still feel so real to me..."

Yaehoshi shrugged, noncommittal.

"Don't you want to return to your original worldline?"

"That kind of thing doesn't exist..."

Amane Suzuha forced a smile, shaking her head.

"There's only one worldline. My original worldline no longer exists."

"Right, so isn't it lucky that you can stay here?"

"Lucky?"

Seeing Amane Suzuha's puzzled expression, Yaehoshi patiently explained.

"You don't have the ability to 'observe' worldlines. If you disappear from this timeline and appear on a completely new worldline, you won't remember anything from this time. You might not even be the you you are now. What's the difference between that state and death? You've continued to live, just at a different point in time."

Amane Suzuha smiled slightly, resting her chin on her hand.

"I know you're trying to comfort me, but you really don't have to. I don't have anyone worth remembering on the future worldline either. Besides, I'm not just any ordinary girl. I'm a chosen warrior. On this timeline, I can continue to fulfill my duty as a special agent of the Supernatural Countermeasures Action Group. Isn't that enough?"

"The word 'warrior'..."

Yaehoshi looked inscrutable.

"You're not going to suddenly transform into the Armored Titan, are you? I'm a little scared."

"What titan?"

"Never mind, have a seat."

...

Later that afternoon, in the lobby of the Super-Quantity Society apartment building.

"Amadeus... a psionic weapon that can only survive in the Reverse World... not a bad assistant."

Futaba Rio expressed her approval of Yaehoshi's decision to let Amadeus live.

Combining the theory of psionic abilities and worldline shifts, on this timeline where Leskinen is dead, if Amadeus leaves the Reverse World and comes to the real world, she, as a product of the future, will be affected by the worldline shift.

And if she lives in the Reverse World, she doesn't need to consider whether she wants to fight evil spirits. If she wants to live a normal life, she will definitely have to fight them. After all, to evil spirits, anyone with psionic abilities is like a delicious meal, possessing an irresistible allure.

Amadeus doesn't even need to look for evil spirits; as long as she stays in the Reverse World, the evil spirits will come to her.

This can also alleviate some of Yagami Light's exorcism pressure in Tokyo.

However, the focus of today's discussion is not Amadeus's existence, but what she said.

"A battle that will engulf the entire city of Kyoto in a few months, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people..."

Hearing this shocking number, even Yotsuya Miko, with her strong mental fortitude, couldn't help but change her expression.

Since the founding of the Super-Quantity Society, every operation has been aimed at controlling the development of the situation as much as possible, avoiding excessive casualties of innocent people. In most cases, not a single innocent person has been injured or killed.

To be honest, even Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just joined, found it a bit unbelievable, practically a miracle, after hearing about this.

But miracles... it seems that's where it ends.

"What exactly is it that can fight us to that extent? Black mist engulfing the entire city... does that mean the Reverse World has merged with Kyoto?"

Listening to Yotsuya Miko's question, Futaba Rio pondered carefully, and after a while, she opened her mouth.

"Didn't Yaehoshi say before that he encountered a figure formed from black mist on the train to Tokyo? Perhaps it's that guy, and his request is..."

"To hand over Honma Meiko, Makinohara Shoko, and Nishimiya Shoko..."

After reciting these three names, Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath, and then her expression returned to calm, only her golden eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness and determination.

"Impossible, we absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen."

Menma, Makinohara Shoko, and Nishimiya Shoko were not present, as the members of the Super-Quantity Society did not want to put pressure on the three of them. After all, the incident that caused the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people was likely caused by that black figure.

It was precisely because the three of them were all very kind that they wanted to prevent them from knowing about this matter, otherwise, they would feel that sacrificing their own lives to save tens of thousands of innocent people would be a very worthwhile trade.

But...

"That's right, we absolutely will not compromise."

Amano Hina, who had also played this role before, when she was planning to sacrifice herself to restore the weather in Sakura Province, showed unprecedented determination at this moment.

"We will absolutely not agree to such an outrageous request from an evil god. There will be no retreat from our bottom line. No one can be sacrificed."

"I agree."

Seeing Yaehoshi expressing his agreement, everyone was not surprised, after all, he was the kind of person who would never compromise, and even if a powerful evil being wanted to fight him, he would only have one comment.

You've come at just the right time.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their position and unanimously decided not to agree to the black figure's request, Yukinoshita Yukino said thoughtfully.

"Menma, Nishimiya Shoko, Makinohara Shoko... What do these three people have in common... Nishimiya and Makinohara are not psionic ability users either, so why would that black figure specifically name them? If we can analyze the reason behind this, we might be able to know the enemy's true identity."

"Yaehoshi, do you have any clues?"

Faced with the question posed by Yukinoshita Yukino, Yaehoshi just shook his head very sincerely.

"I don't know."

"You really don't know?"

Suspicion filled Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes.

"Are there still things in this world that you don't know?"

"Of course, there are."

"For example?"

"For example, why your chest is so small."

"You..."

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino lightly bite her silver teeth, about to turn red with embarrassment, Makise Kurisu poked Futaba Rio next to her and whispered.

"Yukinoshita-san's... is it very small?"

Futaba Rio looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with a slightly pitying gaze, and then said to Makise Kurisu the famous saying that Yaehoshi had said.

"Lies don't hurt people, the truth is a sharp knife."

Before Yukinoshita Yukino could reply, Yaehoshi immediately continued.
