Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Alright, let's start moving."

Ye Xing walked in the forefront, while Makise Kurisu, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and Suga Natsumi followed behind, ignoring the caution tape and warning signs, entering the dark and somewhat eerie mountain forest in the night.

During the journey, Makise Kurisu kept her lips tightly pursed, feeling so nervous that her joints felt rusty and sluggish.

Although she had anticipated that as the special scientific advisor of the Occult Research Society, she might encounter similar situations, it was only after actually participating in an exorcism that she realized that knowingly facing extremely terrifying dangers and still having to keep moving forward… was beyond the limits of what normal humans could endure.

Makise Kurisu looked at Ye Xing's back, and an idea couldn't help but emerge in her mind.

Clearly… he didn't need to do this at all.

With Ye Xing's abilities, even if he disregarded his status as a spiritual ability user, he would still be the most outstanding one among everyone, so why choose to become a so-called exorcist?

Just because of… an instinctive hatred for evil spirits?

"Can't understand it, can you?"

Just as this thought sprouted in Makise Kurisu's mind, Amadeus' voice came from the Bluetooth headset she was wearing.

"Eh…"

"Don't speak, Ye Xing and those two women can't hear my voice."

Amadeus didn't appear from the phone screen, but communicated only through the Bluetooth headset connected to Makise Kurisu's phone.

"Have you forgotten? I am another you. I can completely guess what you would think in this situation. Perhaps… the reason I'm curious about this guy is because I was created as an AI with you as the primary personality. If I can analyze the reason why you're curious about him, I might… be able to get the answer."

"Answer… huh…"

Makise Kurisu silently repeated this sentence in her heart, not knowing how to feel.

After the four of them had been heading towards the inner area of the mountain forest for nearly an hour, the sky had completely darkened. If they weren't using powerful flashlights, they wouldn't even be able to see the road ahead. Suddenly, a few drops of rain fell on the ground.

These few drops of rain seemed to be just a warning. Soon, a heavy rain began to fall in the deep mountains.

Fortunately, Hiratsuka Shizuka and Suga Natsumi were prepared. Before the heavy rain fell, they had already set up the portable tent.

Listening to the noisy and annoying sound of rain outside the tent, Makise Kurisu frowned and muttered to herself.

"Did today's weather forecast… say it would rain…"

"No."

This time, Amadeus answered through the phone's speaker.

"Today's weather forecast did not mention any rainfall around Wakayama City, and such an exaggerated rainstorm occurring in this season is a very unlikely event. By the way, from the moment it started raining, I have lost connection to the internet. Everyone's phones should be the same."

Hearing Amadeus' words, Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly took out her phone and took a look.

"As expected… no signal…"

"This is why those missing people didn't report to the police or seek help in time, right?"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared outside the tent, followed by the kind voice of an old man.

"Um… excuse me, is anyone in there?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others exchanged glances with Ye Xing, knowing very well that they had probably intervened in a strange event.

Suga Natsumi adjusted her emotions and pretended to be slightly flustered.

"Um… who is it?"

"Oh, I'm a villager from nearby. I noticed the lights here on the road, so I came to take a look. Are you tourists who came into the mountains? Setting up a tent here is not safe. Looking at the rain today, there might be a landslide later. For safety's sake, why don't you come to our village and stay for the night?"

Classic, it can only be said, too classic.

As a veteran eroge connoisseur, Ye Xing felt a sense of déjà vu just listening to this opening.

A dangerous rainy night, a group of protagonists trapped in the deep mountains, beautiful female characters of various types, a secluded mountain village – this development is simply a classic eroge plot.

There's just one very important difference.

The male protagonists in those eroges are incompetent and weak, good for nothing except for always finding the perfect opportunity to peep, but this time's male protagonist…

Is the extremely hungry, even more terrifying version of the Kizuna exorcist, a ravenous glutton.

"That's great."

Ye Xing couldn't wait to stand up and crawl out of the tent, only to see an old man wearing a straw hat and cloth clothes standing outside.

"Is your village far from here? How about we leave now?"

Noticing the eagerness in Ye Xing's expression, the old man couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile, thinking that this time's prey had been hooked so easily.

Looking at the young man's appearance, it was obvious that he had been frightened by the sudden rainstorm, and only showed such excitement after hearing that there was a safe haven.

What a simple-minded fellow.

"Since that's the case, then quickly follow me, don't wait for the rain to get heavier, it will be too dangerous to walk the mountain road."

"Okay."

When Suga Natsumi, Makise Kurisu, and Hiratsuka Shizuka came out of the tent with umbrellas, the old man looked at the three of them with a very strange gaze, then nodded as if very satisfied, and then smiled at Ye Xing, as if implying something.

"Young man, you're very lucky. You can invite three such beautiful companions to climb the mountain in the middle of the night. I really envy you."

"You bet."

Ye Xing looked at the old man with undisguised enthusiasm and desire in his eyes, and replied with a smile.

"Hurry up and lead the way, old timer."

"Old… timer?"

The old man, who lived in a secluded mountain village, obviously didn't understand what the word 'old timer' meant. He just felt a little strange in his heart.

Although the deep mountains in this heavy rain were indeed scary, and he had frightened the other party with the possibility of a landslide…

Wasn't this young man's desire to enter the village for refuge a little too eager?

…

Twenty minutes later.

"We're here, our village is just ahead."

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Xing raised his head and looked ahead, and found that although the place the other party claimed to live in was called a village, it wasn't the kind of ancient village with a bunch of thatched huts, but a village with a large area, where each household was a two-story detached house.

"Old timer, how many people live in your village?"

Hearing Nightstar's question, the old man didn't think much, but continued walking forward and replied.

“Not many, only about a hundred people.”

“Oh, only about a hundred people… That is indeed a bit few, but it'll do.”

Hearing Nightstar's strange words, the old man didn't say much, but led the group into a room, then suddenly revealed a strange smile, looked at Su He Xiami, Makise Kurisu, and Hiratsuka Shizuka, and slowly said.

“Ladies, our village has a rule, because we enshrine a god, all foreign objects must be kept in the shrine, which… naturally includes the clothes you are wearing, please take them off.”

“Take off our clothes!?”

Hearing this outrageous request, Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned slightly.

“Impossible, how could we possibly take off the clothes we are wearing? Your rule is too strange, isn't it?”

Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's refusal, the kind smile on the old man's face instantly disappeared, he raised his hands and clapped, and said in a deep voice.

“Since you can't understand, then we won't be polite.”

At the moment when his hands clapped, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a dozen male villagers wearing linen clothes poured in, looking at the three women standing with Nightstar, their eyes revealing a lewd light.

“In that case, we can only help you take them off.”

“Oh, so you're not pretending anymore? How boring.”

Faced with this situation, Nightstar just yawned, looking bored.

“As expected, reality isn't a H-game, no need for filler plots, since you're not pretending anymore, then I will also…”

Saying this, Nightstar suddenly took out a black pistol from his arms, aimed at the old man's brow, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“Bang!”

Watching the old man's body slowly fall to the ground, the dozen male villagers hadn't had time to react, when they saw behind Nightstar, a huge figure appeared, the cross-section of its neck, was a terrifying giant mouth full of sharp teeth, a black and white monster.

“Dinner time.”

After several seconds, the group of male villagers, who had been aggressive and had evil smiles on their faces, finally reacted, looking at the headless monster standing behind Nightstar, their faces showing extreme fear.

“Mon… monster!”

“Quick, run!”

“Where can you run to?”

Watching the group of male villagers fleeing out the door in panic, Nightstar repeatedly pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand, until the magazine was empty, and several more villagers fell to the ground, he then stopped, and said to the headless monster behind him with a chuckle.

“Go, eat however you want.”

After receiving Nightstar's permission, the black and white headless monster, which had been standing still, seemed to finally break free from some kind of restraint, and its huge body passed directly through the walls of the house and chased out at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

“No… don't!”

“Help… save me… who will save me…”

“I’m… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, spare me!”

Listening to the sounds of begging for mercy and screams mixed with the sound of heavy rain outside, Su He Xiami and Hiratsuka Shizuka had no expression, but Makise Kurisu was encountering this kind of thing for the first time after all, and couldn't help but show a look of unbearable compassion.

Seeming to see her emotional change, Nightstar walked to the villagers who had been shot by bullets and fell to the ground, and without caring whether they were still breathing, he just stepped on them one by one at a steady and slow pace, blasting their heads, and said in a calm tone.

“Christina, have you heard of the God's Palanquin?”

Makise Kurisu turned her head away, unwilling to face the scene of brain matter splattering, tried to calm her mind, and replied softly.

“This… of course I've heard of it…”

“Guess what, is the God's Palanquin understood by this group of people the same as the kind you think of, made of wood or something?”

Every time Nightstar stepped on a villager's head, he would reach out his hand into the air, grab the soul body produced after the other party's death, and then swallow it into his stomach without hesitation.

“You might as well guess again, after they treat foreign female tourists as God's Palanquins, what is the so-called sacrificial ritual like, and those male tourists…”

Speaking of this, Nightstar looked at the position where Makise Kurisu was standing, and said in a calm tone.

“Their bodies are buried under your feet.”

Even if Makise Kurisu was dull, after hearing Nightstar's words, she could imagine how desperate the situation was for those missing tourists after they came to this village.

“These… these guys…”

Although Makise Kurisu felt that the scene of flesh and blood flying was very disgusting, she still didn't look at the corpses of the dead villagers, but the expression on her face had changed from the unbearable compassion just now to an anger of extreme disgust.

Similarly, Su He Xiami and Hiratsuka Shizuka also showed strong disgust and anger in their eyes.

“It's really disgusting…”

As two adult women, in fact, after they entered the house and were asked by the villagers to hand over all the items they were carrying and take off their clothes, they could probably guess what those missing people had encountered before their death.

Apart from being disgusting, I can't think of any other words.

“Nightstar, I want to go with you.”

Under extreme anger, Hiratsuka Shizuka saw the bloody scene in front of her, and didn't even feel disgusted, but felt a sense of pleasure.

“These guys…”

Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fists, and even the joints of her fingers made a soft sound.

“Should be completely erased.”

“Okay, then let's go together.”

Nightstar nodded slightly, leading Hiratsuka Shizuka to step out of the house, although Hiratsuka Shizuka has not yet awakened the ability to materialize her soul, she is just an ordinary person, but among ordinary people, her combat power is considered very strong, plus when she was in Tokyo before, Hiratsuka Shizuka had witnessed the bloody scene in the evil spirit attack on the hotel incident, her psychological endurance is no longer comparable to ordinary people.

Besides…

Hiratsuka Shizuka is wearing “Truth” around her waist, and Su He Xiami and Makise Kurisu who stayed in the house don't need to worry, Nightstar just swallowed these human souls and stole their memories before their death, he already knows the information about this village.

The villagers here are just ordinary humans, not to mention special powers, they don't even have guns.

The only place that is tainted with weirdness…
