Zongman: Hong Kong's black ceiling but autistic, what should I do?

Chapter 216: Honmaru Arc: Equivalent Exchange

Fukuzawa Sakura has been in a coma since returning to Honmaru.

The Shinsengumi is in a coma, and the government of the time is watching covetously, so all the burdens fall on the Tsukumogami.

Fortunately, the Tsukumogami are very reliable. Even if the government of time keeps issuing difficult tasks, the Tsukumogami can resolve them one by one.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and it’s the winter solstice.

It's snowing in Honmaru.

Yamato-no-kami Yasunari walked into the castle tower wearing a newly made cotton jacket and called out to Kashuu Kiyomitsu who was guarding the Shinsengumi:

"Qingguang, I'm here to take over, you go and have a rest. It's really cold today, it's snowing outside~"

Kashuu Kiyomitsu tucked in the corner of the Shinsengumi's quilt, picked up the coat that was placed aside, put it on, and said:

"I heard some noise outside. It's Toushirou and the others playing in the snow, right? Have the teams that went out for the battle today returned?"

"Not yet, but Ishikirimaru sent a message saying that it's almost over, and asked us to prepare the infirmary in advance. It seems that Jin Jian was seriously injured."

"Ah, the tasks above are getting more and more difficult. I don't know if the Shinsengumi-sama..."

Yamatomori sighed, looked at Fukuzawa Sakura's pale face, and lowered his eyes silently.

"Calm down, cheer up!"

Kashuu Kiyomitsu slapped Yamato-mori Yasunari on the back.

"Ah, Kiyomitsu! It hurts!"

Yamatomori Yasuda shuddered in pain and tried to touch the back of his hand, but he couldn't because he was wearing too many clothes.

"Hahahaha, Anding has short arms!" California Qingguang laughed wantonly.

"Who has short arms? I'm wearing too many clothes. My arms are definitely longer than Qingguang's!"

"Huh? Of course my hands are longer than yours. Are you kidding?"

"Huh? Mine must be longer. If you don't agree, let's have a competition!"

"Let's compete, who's afraid of you?"

...

"Well..."

Fukuzawa Sakura, who was lying on the bed, suddenly frowned and made an uncomfortable sound.

Although Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Yamato Mori Yasunari were playing with each other, they were always paying attention to Fukuzawa Sakura's situation. When they heard Fukuzawa Sakura's voice, Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Yamato Mori Yasunari looked at each other, then quickly knelt on both sides of Fukuzawa Sakura and shouted softly:

"Xiaoxue/Shinsen-sama?"

Fukuzawa Sakura moved her fingers, and then her pair of green eyes looked at the two Tsukumogami.

"Anting, Qingguang..."

"Xiaoxue/Shinsen-sama, you are awake!"

...

Fukuzawa Sakura sat on the bed leaning against a cushion, watching Yagen Toushirou examining her body with one instrument after another, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"?" Yagen Toushirou looked at Fukuzawa Sakura in confusion.

Fuze Ying shook her head and chuckled, "Nothing, I just feel like Yaoyan is playing a doctor game, doing one test after another on the patient."

"This is not a game, General!"

Yagen Toushirou seemed to want to make Fukuzawa Sakura pay attention to her health.

"You have been in a coma for 10 months since you came back from the mission. Although as long as you have spiritual power in the Honmaru, even if you don't eat, the Shinsengumi will not starve to death, but your body is very weak now, so I suggest that you adjust the weather in the Honmaru to a warm climate suitable for recuperation, drink more water, and take appropriate supplements..."

"Ah, I want to sleep~"

Seeing that Yagen Toushirou seemed to be about to give a long speech, Fukuzawa Sakura immediately pretended to be drowsy.

"general!"

Yagen Toushirou was indignant.

"You must take care of yourself. You don't know how worried we were about you when you were in a coma!"

"Okay, okay~" Fukuzawa Sakura reached out and hugged Yagen Toushirou in her arms.

"Oh! General!" Yagen Toushirou's face suddenly turned red.

Fukuzawa Sakura patted Yagen Toushirou's back and said:

"I know you are all worried about me. You have worked hard during this period, but don't worry, I am back now. You don't have to be so strong in the future, because your strength is here~"

Yagen Toushirou was speechless just when he was touched by Fukuzawa Sakura's sudden greasy expression:

...

After seeing off Yagen Toushirou, Fukuzawa Sakura put away the playful smile on her face and looked serious.

"I've been in a coma for ten months? I don't know what's going on in the real world..."

During the ten months that Fukuzawa Sakura was in a coma, she had been dreaming, a dream in which Z9999 was the protagonist.

Fukuzawa Sakura knew clearly that her previous meeting with Z9999 had directly triggered the outburst of Z9999's supernatural powers, but fortunately, the huge impact also made Fukuzawa Sakura recall the memories she had lost before the age of five.

Recalling the past, Fukuzawa Sakura guessed.

"Maybe my special ability isn't resurrection and blackie."

If superpowers refer to abilities that are different from ordinary people, strictly speaking, Fukuzawa Sakura is different from ordinary people in four aspects:

The first aspect is resurrection from the dead. There is no doubt about this. The performance of resurrection from the dead had already appeared in Z9999.

The second aspect can be said to be her outstanding appearance. I am not bragging about Fukuzawa Sakura, almost every ordinary person can't help but say "Kawaii~Oh!" when seeing Fukuzawa Sakura. If this is not a deliberate design of the character, wouldn't it be too coincidental? Everyone expresses emotions in the same way for cute things? There must be people who hate cuteness or are stubborn and arrogant and will not say such things. Moreover, the Riddler also said that when he uses his supernatural power, the person being affected will say "Kawaii~Oh!"

The third aspect is the ability of Yamato-no-mori Yasudasa, specifically the ability of the weapon in his hand. Not only Fukuzawa Sakura, but even Yamato-no-mori Yasudasa can sense that the power is greater when Fukuzawa Sakura uses it, but Fukuzawa Sakura has also seen other Shinsengumi use the Tsukumogami itself, and it is not as powerful as when Fukuzawa Sakura uses it.

The fourth aspect is Xiao Hei, who is made up of black particles, just like another Fukuzawa Sakura. Fukuzawa Sakura can feel and control Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei also has his own thoughts, and even has emotions that Fukuzawa Sakura does not have. Xiao Hei will hide in Fukuzawa Sakura's body because he is angry, and he will also work hard for another capitalist to make money because he is angry about the capitalist's wealth.

If the above four aspects belong to the same superpower, would the functions of this superpower be too complicated?

It can be said that the four have no connection at all and cannot be summarized by a unified nature.

So Fukuzawa Sakura guessed that perhaps her special ability was not one of these four.

Although many people have killed Fukuzawa Sakura, there are only three psychics who have killed Fukuzawa Sakura - Shengxi, Miyu Ren and Fukuchi Sakura Chi.

The ability of Shengxi is immortality, the ability of the Enigma Man makes people who come into contact with him fall in love with him, and the ability of Fukuchi Sakura Chi can increase the power of the weapon he holds by a hundred times, which respectively correspond to the first, second, and third aspects of Fukuzawa Sakura's abnormal performance.

"Perhaps, my ability can gain the same ability as the one who killed me. In other words, I can exchange my life for the other person's ability."

【Equal exchange】

These four big words suddenly appeared in Fukuzawa Sakura's mind.

The first time Fukuzawa Sakura heard the term "equivalent exchange" was in the SSS19 laboratory, when the Death Slayer and Fukuzawa Sakura, who was then SS121, were exchanging information.

The Death Killer tells SS121 a bedtime story about his past, hoping to obtain information about the experimental base and laboratory of equal value to SS121.

At that time, SS121 hurried back to his laboratory because of Kobayashi and did not have time to make an equal exchange. However, later SS121 continued to exchange the Death Slayer for the Death Slayer by letting him move freely.

It has to be said that the current Sakura Fukuzawa often uses outrageous behavior to irritate people, which has a lot to do with the shattering bedtime story that the Death Killer told SS121 back then.

The Death Slayer's code of conduct is in line with [Equivalent Exchange]. It was an equal exchange before in the experimental base, and later in Class E of Grade 3, Fukuzawa Sakura exchanged Koro-sensei's free global trip for not exposing his identity, which was also an equal exchange.

Perhaps Usamida Megumi said [SSS19] before her death in order to guide SS121 at that time to discover the truth about her own supernatural powers.

But why did Usamida Megumi know about her own special abilities?

By the way, before this, Fukuzawa Sakura had always been paying attention to information related to [SSS19] and the Death Slayer, and had not paid attention to information about Usamida Megumi. At that time, she only remembered that Usamida Megumi was a researcher for another project that was unrelated to hers.

Fukuzawa Sakura recalled the researcher information that she had asked Xiao Hei to look through in the reference room...

I remembered!

Usamida Megumi also possesses supernatural powers.

Usamida Megumi's ability can obtain other people's ability information, but the condition is that she needs to have long-term contact with the other party.

So even if Usamida Megumi was a researcher of another project, Usamida Megumi was able to contact SS121 at the time, because the researcher needed Usamida Megumi to obtain SS121's true supernatural information!

However, Usamida Megumi wanted to save the young SS121 from "hell" in the end, so she was executed by the person in charge, Matsushita.

When she was dying, Usamida Megumi thought of SSS19, who had always adhered to the belief of "equivalent exchange" and could not die after the experiment, which was equivalent to using the ability to die to exchange for various inhuman superpowers in the experiment (at that time, she did not know that the experimental subject would eventually explode). So she used the "SSS19" signal to pass the information about SS121's superpowers that she had obtained to SS121.

Now, everything that happened before seems a lot clearer.

Fukuzawa Sakura's real ability is [Equivalent Exchange], but it is limited to exchanging her own life.

Why has Z9999 shown no signs of maturing his abilities after spending almost five years in Project Z?

Because the sign of the maturity of superpowers is the appearance of superpower-related changes in the body.

Just like when Z0001 was still Z0002, Z9999 felt the sticky feeling when he stuffed the pudding into Z0002's mouth.

The reason why Z0002 was selected as Z0001 was because the monitoring saw the changes in Z0002 and the machine equipment also detected abnormalities in Z0002's body.

Z9999's ability is to exchange life for something else. As long as Z9999 is alive, his ability will never manifest. Therefore, even if Z9999's ability has matured, monitoring and machines will not be able to detect any changes in Z9999.

Fortunately, the first psychic who killed Z9999 was Shengxi, a Shinsengumi who could be resurrected from the dead. If someone else had killed Z9999, even if Z9999 had exchanged his life for psychic powers, he would not be able to use them because of his death.

She gained the ability to resurrect from the dead. The second psychic who killed Z9999, the Riddler, gave Fukuzawa Sakura an attractive face and voice. The third psychic who killed Z9999, Fukuchi Sakurachi, gave Fukuzawa Sakura the ability to increase the power of the weapon in her hand.

As for whether these superpowers obtained through the equivalent exchange of lives can be considered superpowers?

When in the present world, Fukuzawa Sakura had never determined the maximum extent of the power increase, so she could not be sure whether Yamato-no-kami Yasunari's power increase was a full increase or only a half increase.

When Shinsengumi Utaha was alive, she once said a small part of the sentence "Kawaii~Ohh", which means that after her death, at least half of the special abilities that Fukuzawa Sakura obtained in exchange for her life in her soul state can be used.

What about resurrection from the dead? If only a small part of the soul can be used, after I really die here, will I be seriously injured or become a living dead?

Fukuzawa Sakura doesn't dare to bet on this, so she will just pretend that she cannot be resurrected and act cautiously.

If you think about it carefully, the degree of attraction that Fukuzawa Sakura showed to other people when she was a child only made other people feel good about her. Although at that time Fukuzawa Sakura thought it was because of her cute face, after she grew up, people around her gradually began to have the habit of saying "kawaii~ohhh", and other people's fascination with Fukuzawa Sakura also increased greatly compared to when she was a child. This shows that the special ability obtained through the equivalent exchange of life will continue to increase with age.

Then perhaps as she grows older, Fukuzawa Sakura may be able to use the complete special abilities obtained in exchange for the equivalent of life in Honmaru, but this will have to wait until Fukuzawa Sakura grows up a little more.

So one last question.

Where is Xiaohei?

Where do the black particles come from?

Judging from the information observed by Fukuzawa Sakura, whether it is the Shinsengumi Shengxi, the Riddler or the Fukuchi Sakurachi, none of their supernatural powers are related to the black particles.

Speaking of which, according to the timeline, the first time the black particles were seen should be when Fukuzawa Sakura and Z9999 met. At that time, Z9999 was caused by a supernatural power riot, and black particles were emitted from his body. These black particles gradually gathered together and formed various shapes.

Before Fukuzawa Sakura left the mission site, the first thing she saw was the newly born Little Black No. 1.

In other words - Xiao Hei might be suffering from time travel.

The meeting between Fukuzawa Sakura and Z9999 led to the birth of Xiao Hei.

But is it really that simple?

Fukuzawa Sakura always felt that she had missed something, and her intuition told her that there was a hidden story behind Xiao Hei's birth.
