Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

But, she died.

Even though time had reversed once, it was undeniable that Miko Yotsuya had indeed died once during the enemy's attack.

This was the first time since the founding of the Superhuman Society that a member had been sacrificed in battle.

And… Yozora was right beside her at the time.

For a long time, the members of the Superhuman Society had become accustomed to using the lives of innocent people as the standard for battles with enemies.

Their goal was to protect as many innocent lives as possible. If a disaster broke out, it meant the mission had failed. They had never considered the possibility of a member being sacrificed in a direct battle.

But this time, it was completely different.

The enemy's target was not to kill innocent people, nor was it to create a disaster, but the members of the Superhuman Society themselves. And today's events proved that the enemy's power was enough to threaten the lives of every member present.

“What did you find in the memories you seized?”

In this oppressive atmosphere, Futaba Rio, as the combat strategist, was the most rational, maintaining a calm demeanor.

“That's what I wanted to talk about.”

Yozora slowly opened her mouth.

“Those two people have no memories, not even knowing their own names. All that remains is pure obsession.”

Saying this, Yozora pointed to Miko Yotsuya, who was sitting there.

“That man's obsession is to kill you, or rather, to kill you in the guise you wear during missions. And the target of that female spirit ability user is Mai in her mission attire.”

“No memories?”

Futaba Rio frowned upon hearing this.

“How could this be…”

Yozora said calmly.

“I found something like a small chip in those two people's heads. I've already handed it over to L to find a trusted expert to study it. I don't know much about electronic technology, but…”

Saying this, Yozora paused for a moment, then said something shocking.

“From now on, let's assume that the enemy is from a future timeline when we think about countermeasures.”

“A future timeline?”

The members all looked surprised upon hearing this, but Futaba Rio had a thoughtful expression, muttering to herself.

“Enemies coming to our current time from a future timeline… I see… In that case, knowing each of our abilities, knowing the true name of Yozora's soul, and being able to set up ambushes in advance every time we act, all of this… can be explained.”

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was also in charge of intelligence, felt that many doubts in her mind were resolved after hearing Yozora's words, and quickly gave her own analysis.

“Then… since the enemy is able to set up ambushes in advance when we act, but didn't choose to attack directly during our most relaxed daily lives, it means that even in the future timeline, the enemy doesn't know our… oh no, your real identities.”

“Also, judging from the order of the attacks, Yozora… no, ‘Kira’ was the first to be attacked, and the second was ‘Hundred Eyes’, but when ‘Kira’ was attacked, the enemy didn't know that ‘Mask’ was also present.”

“Assuming that today's actions are no different from the decisions our Superhuman Society made in the original timeline, it means that the enemy would rather risk a direct confrontation with ‘Mask’ than eliminate ‘Hundred Eyes’. From this, we can infer that ‘Hundred Eyes’, that is, Miko, has a high priority in the eyes of the enemy and should play a very important role in the future timeline.”

Futaba Rio also continued.

“Combining this with that chip… suppose, I mean suppose, suppose that chip is future technology, and its function is to achieve instant brainwashing in some way, clearing all memories, leaving only the obsession to eliminate the target, it means that in the future timeline, not only our abilities, but also Yozora's ability to devour souls and obtain other people's memories, this information is also known by the enemy.”

Hearing the words of Yukino Yukinoshita and Futaba Rio, Yui Yuigahama, feeling that the atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, carefully opened her mouth.

“But… judging from today's events, the enemy doesn't seem to know about the Eyes of Amaterasu, otherwise, they wouldn't have designated Miko as the top priority target to eliminate, but would have avoided her first. Doesn't this mean that in the future timeline, the enemy has never successfully killed any member?”

Miko Yotsuya shook her head upon hearing this, then nodded, noncommittally.

“Um… although after the time reversal, the enemy can't retain the memories from before the reversal… but considering that they can figure out my and Yozora's weaknesses, even if they can't retain memories, if I really used the power of the Eyes of Amaterasu in the future timeline, the enemy should have noticed some clues, right? Perhaps Yui is right, it's precisely because the enemy can't compete with us in that future timeline that they chose to come to this earlier timeline where we are not so powerful… It's too complicated, my head is a bit muddled.”

Not to mention Miko, the CPUs of all the members present were about to overload, especially Futaba Rio, who had studied quantum mechanics and was very interested in science-related knowledge, because she would subconsciously consider many factors, she was already on the verge of a red-hot explosion.

Time travel involves many paradoxes, plus the need to consider spirit abilities, the changes in the Reverse World, and what kind of role the Superhuman Society formed by herself and others in the future timeline plays, and what the enemy's identity is, these many questions are really impossible to answer.

“Leave these things for you to consider.”

Miko Yotsuya said calmly, then showed a smile.

“While everyone is here, let's summon our respective Soul Avatars. I will have Hundred Eyes split off an eye and temporarily store it in your Soul Avatar. I've also notified Miss Yukinoshita, and she said she will come to Kyoto as soon as possible.”

Yuika Yurikawa tilted her head upon hearing this, looking slightly puzzled.

“Why?”

Miko Yotsuya smiled and patiently explained.

“My time reversal is a passive skill that can only be activated on the condition of my own death, and cannot be used proactively, but Hundred Eyes is me, and I am Hundred Eyes. Similarly, your Soul Avatars also represent each of you. Let my Hundred Eyes transplant an eyeball onto your Soul Avatar. In that case, if you die and your Soul Avatar dissipates, I will immediately sense it, and then…”

Miko Yotsuya's expression was very calm as she said something that shocked the members.

“I will immediately commit suicide, so that time will reverse to before your deaths, and I will let you retain the memories from before the reversal.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. After a long while, the veteran otaku Marin Kitagawa gave an accurate evaluation.

“You… you're exploiting a bug here?”

“Something like that, but…”

Miko Yotsuya put away her smile and said with a serious face.

"But please don't die too many times in a short period. Otherwise, if my spiritual power is exhausted, there won't be a chance to rewind. Also, Haimeng, Yukino, and Mitsuha, the three of you haven't awakened the ability to materialize your souls yet. Although the enemy most likely doesn't know our true identities, just in case, I think it's best to arrange at least one psychic to protect each of you three. That would be more appropriate."

Yui Yuigahama volunteered.

"I'll protect Yukino."

Saki Kawasaki also spoke up immediately.

"In that case, I'll protect Haimeng..."

"Just forget about it."

Touma Kazusa interrupted coldly, "With your current strength, protecting yourself is a problem."

After saying these highly aggressive words, Touma Kazusa tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said expressionlessly,

"So, Yukina and I, plus you, the three of us will protect Haimeng together."

Hearing this, Setsuna Ogiso couldn't help but tease.

"Kazusa is just like that, harsh words but a soft heart."

Touma Kazusa's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said unhappily.

"Don't... don't be so noisy, you talk too much."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses, looked at Mitsuha Miyamizu, and said indifferently.

"Since that's the case, and Mai-senpai needs to take care of Makinohara-san, Mitsuha, why don't you move into my house? It just so happens that I live alone."

"Eh, this..."

Mitsuha Miyamizu was stunned when she heard this, and she glanced at Yae Star beside her. Her face showed hesitation, but in the end, she didn't have the courage to say that she wanted to be with Yae Star, so she could only nod her head.

"Then... okay."

"Ahem."

Rio Futaba coughed lightly twice, then gave Mai Sakurajima and the others a meaningful look.

"From the looks of it now, Miko's spiritual power is our most important insurance, so... she needs to undergo some special training to improve her spiritual power. Let's go first."

Hana Yurigawa looked blank and asked curiously.

"What kind of special training? Can't everyone join in?"

Yui Yuigahama smiled and put her arm around Hana Yurigawa's shoulder, glanced at the other's exaggerated proportions, and said very seriously.

"Don't worry, the Harem God will definitely not abandon you."

After the rest of the members left, Miko Yotsuya seemed to suddenly unload a burden. Disregarding her image, she lay directly on Yae Star's lap, raised her hand to gently stroke the other's cheek, and her voice seemed a little tired.

"I now understand how you felt when everyone relied on you in the past... Such a heavy responsibility is really suffocating."

Yae Star smiled. It was rare that he didn't say anything abstract, but lowered his head and kissed Miko Yotsuya on the forehead, using a rare gentle tone.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miko."

Although Miko Yotsuya looked very calm on the surface, it was only because she possessed the passive skill of not showing her emotions. It didn't mean that her heart was really calm.

You must know that today was the first time she had experienced this kind of near-death... no, it was the true meaning of being killed once.

Moreover, the lives of all the members depended on her, who possessed the Wave-Breaking Eyes.

"If I had known it would be like this..."

Miko Yotsuya turned her body to the side, stretched out her hand, grabbed Yae Star's top, and directly put her head inside, seemingly using the way of rubbing her cheek against the other's body to relieve the pressure in her heart.

"I should have given you the Wave-Breaking Eyes."

"I can't trigger it anyway."

Yae Star replied with a smile.

"The prerequisite for time rewind is death. Let alone whether the enemy has the ability to kill me, even I can't think of any way to die quickly. Even if I subjectively want to die, the instinctive desire for survival is very strong."

"You're as arrogant as ever..."

Miko Yotsuya took her head out of her clothes and changed to a posture of sitting on Yae Star's lap. She cupped the other's cheeks with both hands and stared straight into his eyes with her golden eyes, and said with a serious face.

"Since the enemy has taken action to travel through the timeline, then in the future, who knows how many years later, the enemy may have some means to deal with you in their hands. You absolutely... absolutely cannot die. You must be extra careful every day from now on."

"Don't worry."

Yae Star said with a chuckle.

"There are no enemies in our path! I am the chosen one, destined to save this world, the strongest exorcist..."

Before he could finish speaking, Miko Yotsuya interrupted the spell with a long, deep kiss.

A few seconds later, Menmo, wearing a kimono, also appeared beside her, covering her eyes with linen, giving her a unique sense of charm and allure.

"Tonight..."

Miko Yotsuya's pretty face flushed slightly. Her soul's true form, Menmo, leaned on either side of Yae Star's shoulders, whispering the same words into his ear with different voices and tones.

"I'll allow you to be with both of us at the same time..."

...

At the same time, in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Chief Yagami."

L sat at the end of the long table, looking at Soichiro Yagami, who was sitting at the head, holding a report on the case and reading it carefully, his brows tightly furrowed, clearly showing his dissatisfaction, and said in a flat tone.

"Perhaps, it's time for you to return to Kyoto, to your original position."

Soichiro Yagami sighed heavily and nodded slightly.

"Perhaps... it's time."

When he saw the contents of this report, Soichiro Yagami doubted his eyes.

How could there be such an outrageous thing?

The current head of the Special Operations Unit of the Kyoto Prefectural Police, actually gave the mobile unit's demolition team the order to plant explosives and detonate them immediately while "Mask" and his assistants were still inside that strange white tower?

Could a sane person make such a stupid decision?

After returning to the Kyoto Prefectural Police, the high-level police immediately sent people to control the on-site commander and began questioning him according to the procedure.

According to the commander himself, he didn't remember what happened at the time at all. He only heard a strange voice constantly whispering in his ear.

The high-level officials of the Kyoto Prefectural Police believed that this was the other party making excuses to justify the stupid decision he made on the spot, but Soichiro Yagami was very clear that a powerful evil spirit had influenced the other party's mind.

But in fact, there was no difference.

If his psychological quality was not too fragile and his will was not firm enough, how could he be manipulated by an evil spirit?

Since Rikka Sakurakawa announced the so-called method of awakening spiritual abilities to the entire Sakura Province, although the declaration of "Mask" and the action of "Kira" killing more than 200 people overnight temporarily maintained social order, as an experienced veteran detective, Soichiro Yagami could keenly perceive the undercurrent hidden beneath this seemingly calm surface.

In this period, the position of Director of the Criminal Affairs Bureau and head of the Special Operations Unit of the Kyoto Prefectural Police should be given to someone with a firm will, who will not be bewitched by evil spirits, and who can understand the thoughts of "Mask" and cooperate with him.

There is no second choice besides him, Soichiro Yagami.
