Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

"What's the matter with these people?"

Sweeping away the black dust that fell on his head and on his clothes, Jiang Ming looked at those people whose bodies were becoming more and more distorted and alienated, and asked involuntarily.

"If you can't break free from the good memory and face the truth, you will be completely distorted and become something indistinguishable from a monster."

The voice that answered was Medea who supported Fujimaru Tachika to stand up on the other side.

The expression on the magician's face at this moment is quite ugly, obviously he saw something quite impactful in the illusion just now.

"A good memory?"

Jiang Ming showed a pensive expression.

Thinking about it carefully, seeing her two fathers was indeed a wonderful thing in a sense.

It's just that the inexplicable illusion completely restored the characters of his two fathers, so that both of them simply asked Jiang Ming to kill them and break free from it.I don't know if this was expected by the designer of this illusion.

"Ahem, are you all okay?"

Neo's voice came from a distance. The man's appearance at the moment was a little more awkward than before. His sunglasses fell somewhere, and his clothes were dirty a lot.In contrast, Trinity, who was protected by him, was basically uninjured, holding a gun to guard the surroundings.

"I'm fine here, wow, what are these things!"

Aliangliang Muli, who climbed up from a large pile of rubble, was almost thrown down by a distorted man.At the critical moment, Oshino Shinobi who was beside him suddenly appeared, and with a wave of his hand, he cut the man into two pieces.

【...ah...ahah...】

Amid the murmurs that had lost their self-awareness, the people covered in black ash approached one by one.

The eyes moved to the chest, the arms grew out of the mouth, the belly button opened a big mouth, and the completely misplaced limbs formed one after another weird monsters, wriggling, changing, and approaching the unchanged people.

Rumbling--

Something sounded in the distance.

The blue light exploded from a little farther away, and Lilith's figure was so swift that it surpassed the limit of human vision at this moment, and easily tore away more than a dozen distorted monsters, and was caught by her sharp heels. All the pierced monsters were dissolved, and even the basic shape could not be retained.

"I can't feel pure nutrition, but garbage mixed with a lot of impurities, which means that the self of these people has completely disappeared."

Lilith looked at the mud on the ground thoughtfully.

As one of the powerful servants under Tachika Fujimaru, Lilith has the ability to dissolve and absorb all organic and inorganic substances into her own nutrients.Among them, things that actually exist can be truly integrated into Lilith's body, while intangible things such as spirit and skills are difficult to transform, and usually become pure nutrients, which is the [experience value] in Lilith's mouth.Through this ability, when she absorbs these enemies, she can judge that the spirits of these people have completely died, leaving only shells driven by pollution forces.

"Be careful, they're all coming!"

The next moment, amidst Aliangliang Muli's shouts, twisted monsters attacked everyone one after another.

【Earth Control Art·Shockwave】

Jiang Ming's fist hit the ground violently.

The spiritual power seduces the land for further fission, releasing huge power to spread around during the disintegration.

A large number of monsters were blown into the air, Virgil standing beside Jiang Ming stared, and then countless phantom-like blue sword blades fell from the air, nailing all the monsters in the air to the ground.

"Has anyone seen Kamijou?"

Gathering the spiritual power in his hand, and knocking away a distorted monster with one palm, Jiang Ming shouted to the surroundings.

"I didn't see it, maybe it's buried under the ruins?"

Aliangliang Muli chopped off a monster and responded.

"Medea, please fly to the sky to see if you can find Kamijou. Lilith, you are responsible for cleaning up these things on the periphery and helping those who have not been transformed and are still alive as much as possible. Mr. Jiang Ming also Mr. Virgil, if possible, can you please go to the central area?"

After taking a short rest, Fujimaru Tachika quickly discerned the current situation and began to command.

"The central area? Okay, Virgil, come with me."

Jiang Ming looked towards the center of the ruins.

It can be said to be a very conspicuous place, after all, in the collapsed area, it is the shortest area, and there is a huge bottomless pothole, which is constantly emitting pitch black color from inside.

From there came the rain of black ash that covered the entire city.

"Don't hold me back."

The power of Yan Modao tore apart the nearby space in the next moment, and Virgil moved a considerable distance in an instant, chopping up all the twisted monsters around who wanted to gather, and then turned back to look at Jiang Ming and said in a cold voice.

"Of course not, um, wait, this voice—"

Jiang Ming, who wanted to say something more, heard something in the next moment.

boom -

The violent sound, like something exploding, sounded from afar again.

But this time, something obviously flew out from the ruins of the city in the distance.

One after another, they all have advanced anti-gravity spacecraft that are nearly [-] meters in size.Each ship is engraved with the unique logo of the containment control center, equipped with high-power technological weapons, and some strange devices that are difficult to see the purpose of, but make people feel extremely threatening.

Containment Control Center, choose to enter at this time?

No, they definitely sent people to infiltrate them before.It's just that because the situation is still unclear, I didn't act rashly, but just observed the trend of the situation secretly.So are these guys going all out now?It's probably not easy to make so many flying boats in the spiritual world, right?

So, in the eyes of these guys, is now the best time to solve the problem?

The sound of explosions sounded one after another, that is, one airship after another released weapons, and wiped out the twisted monsters on the ground in batches.The bullets with purification power annihilated all the monsters to the point that no residue was left, and the efficiency far exceeded the actions of Jiang Ming and others.

"If they think this is the best time to step in, then—"

Thinking of something, Jiang Ming turned his head to look at the big pothole in the center of the ruins at this moment.

Ok?

Jiang Ming's eyes widened.

At some point, Kamijou Touma, who was standing next to the pothole, was looking at the big pit, and stood motionless from a distance.

"Kamijou, what are you doing?"

Jiang Ming, who immediately realized that something was wrong, shouted loudly.

His voice was drowned out by the cannons of the airships in the containment and control centers around him, and even Jiang Ming himself couldn't hear his own voice clearly.However, Kamijou Touma obviously heard his words, turned his head, saw Jiang Ming, hesitated a little, then smiled, and said something to him.

I must, must, must, go, look, look—

From the change of the boy's lips, Jiang Ming read the intention of the other party.

In the next second, Kamijou Touma jumped down and jumped into the deep pit.

"Upstairs?!"

This kid, what are you doing!

Whoosh!

The sense of crisis was maximized at this moment, Jiang Ming suddenly raised his head and saw a missile flying out, directly approaching the big pit in the middle of the ruins.

"Virgil!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

The blue light flashed past, and the Dimensional Slash shredded the missile in an instant, while Virgil's expression became gloomy.

"Those guys, they didn't distinguish between the survivors and the transformed!"

Fujimaru Tachika's voice sounded far away. Jiang Ming, who had reacted at this time, looked around, only to find that the spaceship in the containment control center was shooting at the transformed monsters and a few survivors together, just blinking. In the short period of time, several survivors who survived the catastrophe have been swept into pieces.

【Meet again, everyone from DMC, as well as Chaldea and Mr. Neo, please leave the heavily polluted area as soon as possible, we need to deeply purify this place next】

[I know that you may be a little confused, but the intensity of memetic contamination is far beyond imagination. According to the registration information, we are willing to believe that you will not be infected.As for these mercenaries, it is difficult to guarantee whether they are only normal on the outside, but have actually been transformed. In order to avoid the danger brought by this possibility, we must eliminate them all, because we cannot find them from planet to planet. Their real bodies in the real universe, please forgive me]

It belonged to what Jiang Ming knew, the voice of the fourth-level director of the containment control center who was smiling fakely with a shotgun on his back, sounded from one of the approaching spaceships.

"Although I have indeed experienced the style of the containment and control center in the face of this kind of world crisis before, but..."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ming turned his head and looked at the huge pit behind him.

"The purification work you're talking about, isn't it about razing this place to the ground?"

Chapter 160: The Dream of the Crazy and the Standing Boy

Kamijou Touma heard the voice.

At that moment, the moment he broke free from the darkness, he heard a voice.

【help me……】

Faint, indistinguishable sounds.

But he heard it, he could be sure, he heard the voice, the voice calling for help.

The young man woke up from the chaos, looked at the dilapidated ruins in front of him, and the huge pit in front of the ruins.

Is that voice coming from here?

Those people who are distorted by pollution, do they still have consciousness?

if it is like this--

Kamijou Touma slowly stood up from the pile of rubble.

if it is like this--

Taking steps, the boy walked towards the crack in front of him step by step.

If that's the case, then I'm going to rescue them!

Leaping lightly, the boy fell into the bottomless huge pit and was submerged in the darkness.

Something passed by his ear.

Something is torn to its left and right.

Distorted, howling, broken, things that cannot be described in words.

In the beginning, it was a slight distortion of the senses, like eating an expired biscuit, which was soft and had a slightly damp musty smell, and then something began to wriggle in his esophagus.Then, the whole body began to experience strange feelings, the hair danced around as if it had life, the blood vessels under the skin crawled slowly, and the intestines drilled into the limbs bit by bit.As if my body no longer belonged to me, and as if everything was just an illusion, nothing happened.Distortion, continuous distortion, distortion of self, distortion of everything, until even the "distortion" itself is distorted, so completely distorted.

Jingle Bell--

The melodious bell sounded far away at this moment.

He remembered the ringtone.

The man nodded slightly and recorded the voice slowly.
