Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

The bandaged ghoul, its two ghostly hands could block attacks, and its destruction speed seemed to achieve a delicate balance with its regeneration speed.

The eerie figures in the wasteland had been almost completely slaughtered by Onimaru Kunitsuna, who was now searching for the position of the enemy who had just sniped at him.

Besides those seven esper who, according to his guess, should belong to the so-called SERN combat personnel codenamed "Corpse," there was also a most crucial enemy.

Dragging the entire train, along with all its passengers, into the Reverse World, and also capable of continuously creating bandaged ghouls, a powerful evil spirit... no, this has exceeded the scope of evil spirits.

Is it like that giant whale that manipulates the weather, some kind of evil and powerful god?

While Yae stared in thought, the seven SERN members hiding in the wasteland spoke into their communicators.

"Lost the firing angle, unable to lock onto the position."

"Lost the firing angle, unable to lock onto the position."

"Lost the firing angle, unable to lock onto the position."

......

The same sentence, although spoken in different voices, had the same emotionless tone, repeated seven times in a row, creating an unusually eerie feeling.

"Use heavy weapons."

"Understood."

"Induce despair, Corpse."

The seven SERN members recited the same release incantation. The half-face white masks they wore turned jet black. The combat uniforms they wore remained unchanged, but their spiritual power fluctuations became more obvious.

In the next second, each of the seven held what appeared to be rocket launchers, only much larger in size, almost like missiles. These weapons clearly did not belong to this era's technology. They carried them on their shoulders, aimed at the area they had just targeted, and pressed the launch triggers without hesitation after locking onto the position.

"Boom! ! !"

When seven rockets simultaneously hit that train car and exploded, the entire train shook violently, even being blasted off the tracks.

"Wha... what happened?"

Totsuka Saika, who was at the other far end, and the other passengers inside the bullet train were not greatly affected. Only some people fell to the ground due to the violent shaking, suffering head injuries.

Totsuka Saika covered his buzzing ears and looked in the direction of the exploded train cars, his expression suddenly changing as if he had thought of something.

"Yae... Yae!"

Totsuka Saika hesitated, unsure whether to look for Yae, but remembering Yae's instructions, he gritted his teeth and finally turned around, looking at the panicked members of the Sobu High School tennis club and the other passengers, shouting loudly.

"Everyone, please don't panic! Please move further over there, as far away from the explosion as possible!"

Although Totsuka Saika looked very weak, he was actually a very strong-willed person.

You must know that his motto is "Don't be afraid of what might appear on the road. If you're afraid, you can't move forward. As long as you take a step, you can naturally find a path. So don't hesitate, move forward. After you go out, you will understand.", such decisive and unwavering words.

At this moment, Totsuka Saika's calm and composure allowed the members of the Sobu High School tennis club to finally find their backbone, and they all surrounded him, doing whatever he said.

But the remaining passengers... some were not so sensible.

"There's been an explosion, and you still want to stay here? Are you kidding me?"

"Hey, the black figures outside have disappeared, and the window glass has been shattered. Let's get out?"

"Yes, let's leave here quickly. Isn't staying here just waiting to die?"

Seeing several passengers trying to climb out of the broken windows, Totsuka Saika tried to stop them, but was met with a stern "Get out of the way" and even someone pushing him.

"You..."

Totsuka Saika watched the few passengers who climbed out of the windows and ran towards the wasteland outside, and just as he was about to call them back, he suddenly saw a shocking scene.

A large patch of viscous black fog suddenly emerged from the wasteland outside, quietly surging over like a tide.

When the few passengers saw this strange black fog, they couldn't help but show fear on their faces, wanting to turn around and return to the train car, but their movements were obviously not as fast as the spreading black fog.

The moment their bodies came into contact with the viscous black fog, their skin suddenly began to wrinkle and shrivel, and their faces quickly aged. In the blink of an eye, they transformed from their original appearance into desiccated corpses with dry, water-deficient bodies, like specimens.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the passengers in the car couldn't help but change their expressions and quickly retreated.

Fortunately, the black fog did not seem to want to approach, and only after taking the lives of those few passengers did it dissipate as if it had never appeared.

But even though the black fog had disappeared, that feeling of terror and despair still lingered in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, the concept of "death" had a concrete image and was displayed before everyone's eyes.

......

On the other side, under the rocket bombardment created by the seven SERN members using their spiritual powers, those bandaged ghouls who charged forward one after another also turned into ashes along with the train car and disappeared.

Looking at the empty, flattened area, the SERN members communicated with each other.

"Confirmed kill?"

"Unable to confirm. Too far away, the line of sight is blocked by the smoke and dust from the explosion."

"The two with the strongest close combat ability and the most excellent physical qualities of the possessed bodies, go investigate."

"Understood."

Although they received the same memories and possessed the exact same spiritual powers, it did not mean that the seven SERN members were all equally strong. Memories and spiritual powers were just software; how much they could exert depended on the hardware, that is, the configuration of the body.

Two SERN members with the best physical qualities, meaning the strongest close combat ability, approached the train car where Yae had originally been, which had now been flattened and left no trace, from the left and right, a look of solemn apprehension in their eyes.

In order to defeat "Mask" and the assistants around him, SERN had specifically deduced the weaknesses of each esper based on each battle, and then developed soul incarnations tailored to those types.

For example, "Hundred Eyes," whose true identity they did not know at first, had strengths in excellent close combat, keen perception, unusual psychological qualities and reflexes, and would not reveal any flaws due to panic under any circumstances.

His weakness was that his soul manifestation ability did not greatly enhance combat. His main focus was on observation and vision, so it was enough to block his vision.

As for "Keela", his strengths were ruthlessness in combat, decisiveness without the slightest hesitation, unimaginable movement speed, the ability to hide in the darkness, and the ability to fly.

His weaknesses were not outstanding defense and attack power, a lack of medium- and long-range attack methods, and a vaguely displayed arrogant personality. Because he was very intelligent, he would imagine specific situations and countermeasures before the battle began, so when unexpected situations occurred, his emotions were prone to significant fluctuations, leading to incorrect judgments.

Among all the people, there was only "Mask."

Strengths: Immeasurable combat strength, the strongest person who can never be fought head-on, a mind and psychological fortitude that will never waver, unwavering belief, and the ability to quickly adapt to any changes in the situation.

Weaknesses: Perhaps this "invincibility" might be broken, causing a shake in their confidence.

Other people's weaknesses are all genuine weaknesses.

Only "Mask's" weakness is a weakness that SERN thinks might exist, and even this so-called weakness might just be fabricated by SERN's higher-ups to appease the members' emotions.

Otherwise, who would dare to fight a monster without any weaknesses and strength that overwhelms everything?

The person code-named "Cadaver," or rather, the memory code-named "Cadaver," can become the standard for so-called combat specialists, precisely because the original owner of this memory, for some special reason, is among the very few in SERN who are not afraid of fighting "Mask."

When the two SERN members approached the explosion site and looked around, they spoke into the comms in their headsets.

"No traces of 'Mask' have been found. The probability of the target being dead... is very small."

"Of course, I'm not dead."

To the surprise of the two SERN members, the voice that came back from the headset was actually the laughing voice of "Mask" himself.

"However, your five companions are all dead. Splitting up was a really bad choice."

"Tch..."

Hearing the voice from the headset, the two SERN members couldn't help but grit their teeth.

They did make the wrong choice, which was to split up.

In a one-on-one situation, these clones with "Cadaver's" memories are no match for "Mask" on this timeline.

The problem is that the original "Cadaver" memory core has no concept of teamwork, and there is no one who can form a team with her. Because all the memories have been implanted, replicating all the personality of the original, they have never considered forming a team to fight. At most, they would just fire guns simultaneously from different directions, and that's the limit.

"Bang!"

Just then, the SERN member saw two huge ghost hands suddenly appear beside his companion standing not far away, directly smashing the other person's body into minced meat.

His expression changed, and he immediately tried to create a semi-automatic rifle in his hand, but before the rifle could form, he felt a pain in his chest.

The last scene the SERN member saw in his eyes was Ye Xing's emotionless eyes.

"So weak."

......

After killing all the SERN members, Ye Xing's body swayed slightly. Seeing this, Onimaru Kunitsuna quickly ran over to support him, asking with concern.

"Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just used up too much spiritual power."

Although Ye Xing said they were weak, that was just an instinctive taunt.

Although he dodged the explosion of the seven rockets in time, they were, after all, rockets created by spiritual power. Their power was incomparable to ordinary rockets. Just the residual power of the confrontation consumed at least five percent of his spiritual power.

That's five percent.

In addition, eliminating those SERN members with the ability of "Cadaver" was not as easy as Ye Xing said. At this time, his spiritual power had already fallen below the dangerous line of ninety percent.

Damn it, I'm about to have a panic attack.

Just imagine, before entering the BOSS room and triggering the level, seeing that your health bar is not even ninety percent, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?

Ye Xing looked around, wanting to find a Bandage Freak spirit to replenish his spiritual power.

But this time, it was all for naught. He didn't see a single one, as if the spawn points were no longer refreshing.

Ye Xing glanced at Onimaru Kunitsuna, who was supporting him, and felt the soft touch coming from his arm, saying with some helplessness.

"Hey... why are you taking the opportunity to take advantage of me? That's too much, you wouldn't have done this before."

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

Onimaru Kunitsuna pursed his lips and smiled, moving even closer, and said softly in a seductive tone.

"If you treat me as a pure weapon, there will be no reaction. Since you used the word 'take advantage'... does it mean that in your heart, I have become not just a weapon, but something else?"

Just as Ye Xing was wondering how to answer Onimaru Kunitsuna's question, a burst of viscous black mist suddenly appeared.

Although Ye Xing was still relatively far away, he could clearly feel that it looked similar to the black mist in the Reverse Side, which represented the negative emotions in people's hearts, but it was actually not the same thing at all.

If the black mist of negative emotions looks disgusting and nauseating...

The black mist that appears now is despairing, even with a feeling of sadness.

The black mist did not attack Ye Xing, but stayed ten meters away, turning into a black shadow the size of a normal human, with an indistinguishable face.

"The person who killed the gods, so it's you..."

The figure formed by the black mist spoke slowly, in an unusually strange tone that made every pore on one's body feel uncomfortable.

"Return what belongs to me."

Ye Xing retorted without any politeness.

"Who are you? Do I know you? What do I owe you? Huh?"

Hearing his impolite and mocking tone, the black mist figure seemed to have no emotion at all, and only said in a flat tone.

"Honma Meiko, Makinohara Shoko, Nishimiya Shoko, these three people, and the souls, memories, and spiritual power you have taken, return them all to me, and perhaps I will spare your life, and let you wait for the death that should belong to you."

"Oh, you BYD, you're really arrogant when you speak."

Ye Xing first replied with a smile, and then his figure had already appeared in front of that figure, and he opened his mouth without any politeness and began to devour the other person's body.

But at the moment of entry, he frowned slightly.

"I'll go... what is this..."

It was the first time Ye Xing had tasted such a terrible spirit body.

It's just like Yui Yuigahama's cooking.

Wait a minute, could it be that the real face of this black figure is actually people's fear of Yui Yuigahama's cooking?

That shouldn't be the case. There are not many people who have eaten Yui Yuigahama's cooking, and they don't live in Tokyo. How could such a monster be born in the Reverse Side of Tokyo?

"Everything you do is meaningless."

The black figure re-condensed in the distance, seemingly deliberately distancing itself from Ye Xing.

"I don't want to fight you head-on now, as long as you are sensible..."

"Hehe."

Ye Xing smiled and asked back.

"Honma Meiko, Makinohara Shoko, Nishimiya Shoko, these three people, right?"
