Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“That…”

Night God Moon seemed to be trying his best to organize his words, and after a few seconds of silence, he cautiously opened his mouth.

“Do you know the true identity of ‘Mask’?”

“Huh? Why would you suddenly… No, how could I possibly know the true identity of ‘Mask’? I am the head of the Special Operations Unit of the Metropolitan Police Department. How could I possibly know a criminal?”

“Father… stop acting. Although everyone says on the surface that you have nothing to do with ‘Mask’, in reality, haven’t you been secretly assisting him?”

Hearing this, the other side of the phone fell silent.

After more than ten seconds, a response finally came, and a middle-aged man sighed slightly, then said in a deep voice.

“If it were someone else, I wouldn’t say… but since you’re asking…”

Hearing this, the psychic suddenly frowned and looked around the room.

He seemed to have just noticed a slight fluctuation of spiritual power, but when he tried to sense it carefully, he didn’t notice anything. Was it an illusion?

But it doesn’t matter.

After all, besides psychics, there are also evil spirits and ghosts in this world. More powerful evil spirits can also cause fluctuations in spiritual power. On this timeline, it should be a normal phenomenon.

“The true identity of ‘Mask’ is actually…”

Hearing the middle-aged man on the other side say the key point, the psychic and his subordinates couldn’t help but prick up their ears.

“Your good friend, Yagami Hoshi.”

“What!?”

Night God Moon appropriately showed a shocked reaction, and his brown eyes widened in surprise.

“It’s him… No… How could it be him… How is this possible…”

The psychic was also stunned, but the reason he was stunned was not the same as the feigned shock of Night God Moon, but rather a bit of confusion.

“Yagami Hoshi… Who is that? This name… I’ve never heard of it?”

The psychic recalled the information in his mind, remembering that there was a brief sentence in the description about Night God Moon.

“He has a good friend of the same age from Kyoto Soubu High School.”

It’s not…

The true identity of “Mask” is actually someone whom SERN thought was not even worth mentioning by name, someone who was completely irrelevant, had nothing to do with the incident, and only appeared as a background description of Night God Moon?

Really?

What the psychic found most unacceptable was… even though “Mask’s” real name was connected to Night God Moon, he was still not included in SERN’s range of suspicion…

For decades… SERN had not been able to do anything at all, and had never even approached the truth.

Fortunately, he now knew the true identity of “Mask”. Next, he only needed to pass on the information, and he would definitely be able to change the progress of the world line…

Thinking of this, the psychic couldn’t help but glance at the metal base on the table next to him, with the numbers in the glow tube indicating the world line detector of the future.

And when he saw it clearly, his pupils shrank in shock, his face changed, and he muttered to himself in disbelief.

“This… How is this possible…”

The numbers displayed on the world line detector did not change at all, which meant…

The current world line progress has not changed at all.

“Soichiro Yagami, you’re lying!”

The only explanation the psychic could think of was this, and a strong killing intent immediately appeared in his eyes.

“Night God Moon, if that’s the case, then don’t blame me…”

“He didn’t lie.”

What the psychic and the dozen or so men with guns on the scene didn’t expect was that Night God Moon, who had always seemed a little flustered and timid, completely shed his disguise at this moment, a near-manic smile curving up his lips, and a blood-like scarlet flashing in his brown eyes.

“Yes, I didn’t lie.”

This time, the voice didn’t come from the phone with the hands-free mode turned on, but from the entrance of the bungalow.

The psychic turned his head and saw a tall teenager with black hair and black eyes, looking lazy, standing there. Although his voice was smiling, there was no emotional change in his eyes. He just chuckled and said.

“Everything I said is true. I am ‘Mask’, but…”

“After learning this news, you are destined to die at this moment, unable to tell anyone. You, who should not have existed in this world in the first place, will of course not have any impact on the changes in the world line.”

“You finally came.”

Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, Night God Moon, in the unbelievable gazes of the dozen or so men with guns, effortlessly tore off the metal shackles binding his feet as if tearing off a rubber band, stood up and shrugged his shoulders.

“You’re too slow.”

“Is that how you talk to your beloved father?”

“Damn, I have a hunch that this matter will be used to humiliate me by you often in the future.”

“How could that be? Moon, you underestimate me too much. Not just often, I will mention it every time we meet in the future. You’re welcome.”

“Alas, I’m really out of luck…”

“There’s nothing I can do about it. You can only blame the future you, who will actually become a thorn in the enemy’s side. You can’t blame me.”

…

Watching Night God Moon and Yagami Hoshi casually talking as if they were old friends reuniting, the psychic’s pupils trembled, and he couldn’t help clenching his fists, and then…

He directly crashed through the window and fled outside.

What a joke!

Fight “Mask?”

He had never received such a mission, and he was the only psychic… How could he dare to face that demon!?

“This is…”

When he crashed through the window and came outside the house, the psychic was stunned as he looked at the scarlet moon in the sky.

“The Reverse World… The spiritual power fluctuation just now, so it was…”

“Yo, you even know about the Reverse World?”

Hearing the voice coming from behind him, the psychic’s face changed, and he immediately wanted to summon his Soul Avatar, but before the command from his brain could be conveyed, his vision went dark.

…

Five minutes later, the real world.

"It's resolved."

Yagami Light and Yozora Hoshi walked out of the bungalow together, unable to help but sigh.

"The Reverse Side is truly a convenient place… There's no need to dispose of bodies. As long as you drag someone in there and kill them, no matter how skilled a detective is, they won't be able to find any traces…"

Then, Yagami Light looked at Yozora Hoshi and sighed softly.

"So, I sacrificed my dignity to buy time until you arrived. Please, you must tell me if you obtained any valuable information from that psychic's memories. Otherwise, wouldn't my calling you 'Father' be in vain? I can't accept that."

"There is some, but not much."

Yozora Hoshi shrugged, replying nonchalantly.

"Although that guy wasn't brainwashed like those other psychics, leaving him with only obsession for the target, his memories were clearly cleared. I can't even understand what the world on that future timeline looks like through his memories, nor do I know how these people arrived on the current timeline. The only valuable information is in two points."

"First, this batch of people arriving from the future timeline is just an advance force. The formal attack on this timeline will begin in a month. There isn't much relevant information about the composition of the enemy, only two vague words in the memory. One of them is called 'Combat Specialists'."

"'Combat Specialists'…"

Hearing this term, Yagami Light frowned slightly. Even with his arrogant personality, he couldn't help but feel a bit heavy-hearted.

Does that mean the enemy psychics who attacked him and appeared during the Kyoto Hall incident weren't considered specialized combat personnel?

"What's the second term?"

Hearing Yagami Light's question, Yozora Hoshi revealed a smile and said softly.

"'Mask Countermeasure Task Force'."

"Huh?"

Yagami Light pursed his lips upon hearing this. After a long while, he said with a complicated expression.

"So, those targeting us are all individual psychics with abilities that counter us. But when it comes to you, it's directly a tactical task force? Plus, after that guy heard your real identity, he didn't even dare to resist and chose to run away directly… Just how terrifying is your image in the future timeline…"

"Who knows."

Yozora Hoshi shrugged nonchalantly, then said.

"Second, congratulations. Whether it's 'Kira' or 'Yagami Light,' both are targets the enemy wants to eliminate. Congratulations to legendary player Rougetsu for winning the great honor of occupying two assassination slots alone."

Yagami Light looked speechless.

"I'd rather not have such an honor… However, the enemy has specifically guarded against your abilities, so it seems that obtaining valuable information is more difficult than imagined."

"Heh, it's just so-so."

Yozora Hoshi revealed a look of contempt and slowly said.

"If it were me, knowing that the enemy could read memories…"

Seeing his appearance, Yagami Light couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What would you do?"

Yozora Hoshi looked directly into Yagami Light's eyes and said seriously.

"I would make every member play around with intimate interactions between humans and animals, or actions like eating in the toilet. Although I'm watching from a third-person perspective, just watching it is enough to disgust me."

"The enemy's imagination isn't rich enough, and their bottom line is still too high. No wonder they can't beat us."

Chapter 372: Eriri Spencer Sawamura's Big Win, Yukino's New Year's Gift

Yagami Light curled his lips and couldn't help but complain.

"At this time, don't use the word 'us.' I'm far from even half as good as you in terms of bottom line and abstract behavior. I can't even imagine what kind of mental torture the enemy suffered on that future timeline to be so afraid of you…"

Speaking of this, Yagami Light suddenly frowned slightly, muttering to himself thoughtfully.

"Could it be that the brainwashing chip… isn't just to prevent you from reading valuable information, but also to eliminate the fear of 'Mask' among the members performing the mission? If that's the case… just how intimidating is your image… A human-shaped nuclear bomb?"

"I wouldn't know about that."

Yozora Hoshi waved his hand and turned to walk away.

"Alright, I'm going back to Kyoto."

"Leaving so soon? Now that you're here, it's the weekend for the next two days. Why don't we team up and cultivate in the Reverse Side together?"

Hearing this, Yozora Hoshi rolled his eyes at Yagami Light.

"Do you know that I left behind a fair-skinned, petite blonde beauty and a sexy, stocking-clad black-haired senior student, and tried my best to get to Tokyo so quickly. Besides, during my weekend leisure time, I'm naturally cultivating with the members of the Overload Club. What's the point of cultivating with you? You and Kiragui can team up."

"Yeah, you definitely wouldn't choose to team up with me."

After saying this, Yagami Light showed a worried look and couldn't help but ask.

"About that… 'Mask Countermeasure Task Force' in the enemy's camp, since they have psychics who can restrain my and Yotsuya's Soul Manifestation, it's possible that they can also restrain your abilities…"

"Restrain my abilities?"

Yozora Hoshi turned around, with a puzzled expression.

"What are my abilities?"

"Uh…"

Faced with this sudden question, Yagami Light couldn't help but be stunned. After carefully thinking about it in his heart, he realized…

That's right, what type of ability is Yozora Hoshi's soul materialization?

If you really count those two ghost hands, and the ghost hand body… it doesn't seem to have any special abilities, just summoning a powerful spirit, and it's very suitable for fusion with Soul Manifestation. Although it's quite unique, that's about it.

But if you count another soul materialization, the ability of the End of Eight Million…

Isn't that true omnipotence in the true sense, without any shortcomings?

Close combat, mid-range, long-range.
