Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Rio Futaba's personality is very serious, even somewhat stern.

She's the type who either ignores things completely, or if she accepts Rikka Takanashi's sister's request and even eats the bento made by her, she'll definitely devote herself wholeheartedly to completing it, absolutely not allowing failure.

Even if... Rikka Takanashi only scored eighteen points in math, Rio Futaba has absolute confidence in being able to save her grades!

......

Several hours later.

Because they didn't live together, Rio Futaba and the others first safely sent Rikka Takanashi, whose head was spinning from studying, back home, before the four of them went together, preparing to return to the Overload Club's apartment.

"It's so painful, so painful, so painful..."

Yui Yuigahama hugged her head, looking like she was about to cry.

"It's too painful, studying, why is it such a painful thing!!!!"

"You still have the nerve to say that?"

Seeing Yui Yuigahama like this, Rio Futaba replied unhappily.

"Kaimu and Yukino have already ensured that they can score above the passing line after these two days of cramming, only you, your grades fluctuate up and down, if you don't even pass this time, who knows how people will laugh at us."

Yui Yuigahama seemed a little unconvinced, muttering softly.

"Just let them laugh... anyway, we never care about the outside world's opinions... isn't that what you guys always say..."

Rio Futaba frowned, just as she was about to seriously criticize Yui Yuigahama's unbridled, thick-skinned attitude of giving up, Shoko Makinohara gave her a look, stopping Rio Futaba's words, and instead looked at Yui Yuigahama, opening her mouth softly with a smile.

"Yui, I know you might not care about the outside world's thoughts, but think about it, if you get a failing grade, how will the teachers and students in the school view your club? Especially... Yusei, who is the president of your club?"

"He clearly has good grades, but his club has a failing student, then others will think that your club is not very united internally, and those members with excellent grades, like Yukino, Futaba, and Yusei, may be talked about."

"Although these few wouldn't mind outside opinions, if possible, it's better to get a good grade, just think of it as being for Yusei, what do you think?"

Hearing these words, Yui Yuigahama was stunned for a moment, then raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist, looking determined.

"Yeah, I understand, I'll definitely work harder and then pass!"

Shoko Makinohara pursed her lips and smiled gently.

"That's right, Yusei will be very happy if he knows you got a good grade."

Seeing this scene, Yukino Yukinoshita and Rio Futaba couldn't help but look at each other, both of them had the same thought in their hearts.

Master.

Shoko Makinohara is truly a master among masters.

I really don't understand, at the beginning, she was clearly just an elementary school girl with heart disease, how did she suddenly become so mature in her speech and behavior after her body grew due to puberty syndrome?

That's not right to say, after all, even during the time she was hospitalized, everyone could feel that Shoko Makinohara's mind was much more mature than her peers.

Yui Yuigahama belongs to the type who doesn't care what happens to herself, but values friendship very much, and puts her lover, Yusei, in the most important position.

In other words...

She might not care about repeating a grade and losing face, but if it involves her friends and lover, then Yui Yuigahama will instantly become full of energy.

Just then, the gentle smile that was originally on Shoko Makinohara's face suddenly froze.

Noticing the subtle change in her expression, Yui Yuigahama quickly asked.

"Shoko, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

"No, it's not..."

Shoko Makinohara's pupils were trembling slightly, scanning the deserted streets with no one around, her voice was even trembling.

"Didn't you feel it... this aura... it's so familiar... I seem to have felt it somewhere before..."

"Aura?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, Rio Futaba, and Yui Yuigahama, although they didn't understand what Shoko Makinohara was saying, reacted very quickly, the three of them immediately stood in three different positions, protecting Shoko Makinohara, who was just an ordinary person, in the middle, and began to scan the surroundings vigilantly.

The street was unusually quiet, not even a bird chirping, so quiet that it was a bit abnormal.

In the sight of Yukino Yukinoshita and others, a viscous, churning black mist suddenly appeared out of thin air, covering the distance of the street.

"This is..."

Rio Futaba frowned slightly, raised her hand, touching the pair of glasses formed by the power she visualized with her soul, and murmured.

"The Reverse World?"

Just as the others thought that they had been forcibly pulled into the Reverse World by some unknown existence, and were preparing to start looking for the source of the spiritual power traces, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

Snow-white walls, bright lights that were a bit dazzling, and the smell of disinfectant emanating in the air.

"Where is this..."

While Yukino Yukinoshita, Rio Futaba, and Yui Yuigahama were still looking around, wondering what exactly this place was, Shoko Makinohara was so shocked that her pupils dilated, and she muttered to herself.

"This... is a hospital... it's the hospital I lived in when I met you..."

At the same time as Shoko Makinohara's voice fell, a burst of noisy sound with electric current suddenly came from the corridor, like it was coming from a low-quality speaker.

"Shoko Makinohara..."

There was no emotion in this voice, you couldn't tell if it was male or female, it was just so calm that it gave people a feeling of despair.

"Face your true heart... and then... accept your destined ending."

After saying this ambiguous sentence, the voice disappeared without a trace.

"Coming for Shoko? Is it that god symbolizing death again..."

Rio Futaba murmured to herself, a thoughtful look appearing on her face.

According to the information currently available, the condition proposed by the other party is to want the lives of Menma, Shoko Makinohara, and Shoko Nishimiya.

Of course, this is absolutely impossible to agree to.

Rio Futaba just doesn't understand, why would that twisted existence who is a god actually target Shoko Makinohara and Shoko Nishimiya, who are just ordinary people?

Judging from the other party's performance, they are still somewhat afraid of Yusei's ability to devour spiritual bodies.

Why, even so, why knowing that the spiritual ability users of the Overload Club have completed the feat of destroying gods more than once, risking being completely annihilated and completely erased from this world, do they still want to be enemies with themselves and others?

Just for one spiritual body and two ordinary people?

What exactly is the commonality between Menma, Shoko Makinohara, and Shoko Nishimiya?

“Unable to contact the outside world.”

Yukino Yukinoshita took out her phone and glanced at it, finding that there wasn't even a single bar of signal, displaying 'No Service'.

“It seems that even if this isn't the Reverse Side, it's a region separated from the real world, and we can't contact the other members through normal means.”

Yui Yuigahama tried to offer a suggestion.

“Then... would destroying our own Soul Avatars allow Miko to sense us?”

“Hard to say.”

Rio Futaba shook her head, surveying the snow-white corridor that only had front and back sides, noticing that the lights above were gradually becoming dim and flickering. She had already raised her vigilance in her heart, and replied faintly.

“After all, we can't determine the specific location we're in right now, and we can't even be sure if this is the real world, the Reverse Side, or some other area. If it's like Yozora's 'God-Slaying Demon Purification' domain, an absolutely independent area that can cut off all external and internal connections, let alone allowing Miko to sense us, perhaps...”

Rio Futaba didn't finish speaking, nor did she need to. Yui Yuigahama, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Shoko Makinohara could all understand her meaning.

Right now, no one knows what special abilities that existence connected to death possesses…

Oh, perhaps there is one, which is that its taste is extremely terrible, worthy of being called Yui Yuigahama's masterpiece in the spirit world.

It's just that apart from this, the information the ESP Research Society has is still too little.

Yozora once said that professional exorcists emphasize absolute caution.

Before confirming whether Yotsuya Miko's time regression ability can also regress the events that occur in this area, Rio Futaba and the others will absolutely not risk trying anything.

If they really die and Yotsuya Miko's ability can't take effect, wouldn't that be a waste?

Just at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the corners at both ends of the long corridor, as if someone was scraping the wall with some kind of sharp object.

“It's coming, be careful.”

Rio Futaba stood alone in the front, while Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita stood on the other side. All three of them raised their vigilance to one hundred percent, protecting Shoko Makinohara, who had no ability to fight evil spirits, in the middle.

As the scraping sound got closer and closer, the existence that attacked finally revealed its true appearance.

Wearing a blood-stained, tattered, dirty nurse uniform, with no facial features on its face, only twisted, disgusting, intertwined strips of flesh like ugly scars, holding a sharp syringe in its hand. Although its figure was very graceful, it didn't arouse the slightest desire in people, it was a nurse evil spirit.

If Yozora were here and saw this kind of evil spirit, he would definitely start complaining.

“You BYD God of Death, are you starting to plagiarize Silent Hill here?”

Although the appearance has the suspicion of plagiarism, the two nurse evil spirits that took the lead in launching the attack, appearing from two directions, did exude a very unique sense of oppression, completely different from ordinary evil spirits, clearly strong enemies.

Rio Futaba took off her glasses and directly crushed them with one hand. The shattered lenses turned into spiritual power emitting light, covering her body, instantly forming the special attire she wore as a 'Bone Woman' when taking action.

Immediately afterwards, she, Yui Yuigahama, and Yukino Yukinoshita summoned their Soul Avatars, and also took out an easy-to-carry gun from her pocket, aimed it at the evil spirit at the end of the corridor, took a deep breath, and slowly said, exuding an astonishing spiritual power fluctuation.

“Let's begin.”

… …

At the same time, Yozora, who was in Mai Sakurajima's house, eating dinner with her, planning to completely relax today, and then continue to unlock more positions in the evening, and was dating, suddenly felt a faint breeze blowing through the house.

The next second, an anxious young girl's voice rang out.

“Stop eating, stop eating! Something happened, something happened!”

Seeing Yui suddenly appear, and still looking so anxious, Yozora couldn't help but ask curiously.

“What's wrong, what made you panic like this?”

Yui didn't waste any words and immediately replied.

“Little Yukino, Little Shoko, Little Rio, and also Yui, something happened to the four of them!”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Mai Sakurajima immediately stood up, placed her hands on Yui's shoulders, bent down slightly, looked directly into the other's eyes, and said in a gentle tone, but with a sense of composure.

“Yui, don't worry, speak slowly. Aren't they having supplementary lessons today? Why do you think something happened to them?”

Although Yui is a god, her mind is about the same as that of an average young girl. Fortunately, Mai Sakurajima said this, and she gradually calmed down. After taking a few deep breaths, she explained in detail.

“I originally agreed with Yui and Shoko that after they returned to the apartment building, I would pull a few more people to play Monopoly to pass the time.”

Although Mai Sakurajima wanted to complain, she also knew that now was not the time to complain, so she just nodded without saying anything, letting Yui continue.

“But… when I was bored just now, I casually glanced at it, but found…”

Yui looked at Yozora sitting there, pursed her lips, and said softly.

“The red threads between you and the four of them have disappeared.”

Chapter 465: Pursuing the Heart of Death, Shoko Makinohara's Awakening

“The red threads disappeared?”

Mai Sakurajima frowned slightly and tentatively asked.

“Is it possible… that their relationship with Yozora has ended?”

“Absolutely impossible.”

Yui didn't hesitate at all and directly gave a negative answer.

“Little Yukino and Little Shoko aside, but Rio and Yui, the red threads between them and Yozora are as thick as chains, and the color is almost turning purple, how could they break? Something definitely happened!”

Mai Sakurajima nodded, thinking that was true.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Makinohara, who have not yet achieved positive results and have not officially joined the challenging BOSS team, aside, how could the red threads between Rio Futaba and Yui Yuigahama suddenly break?

Unless…

When that unacceptable possibility emerged in her mind, Mai Sakurajima's face changed. After all, although she was not one of the earliest members to join the ESP Research Society, she had a very good relationship with Rio Futaba and Yui Yuigahama, and she also had a good relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Makinohara.

“Could it be that they…”

Yui obviously also thought of the possibility that Mai Sakurajima was thinking of, the possibility of those four people dying, and her face turned pale, unbelievably.

“How could this be…”
