Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Why are you able to use her soul manifestation? Could it be that this is the 'unrestrained talent' mentioned by another world's Yagami Light?"

"Yes, not only Misuko, Rio, and Mai, but also your soul manifestation ability, I can use them all, but..."

Ye Xing took a can of frozen Coca-Cola from the refrigerator, opened it, took a sip, and then continued.

"Because everyone's state of mind and the true self in their heart are different, when I use your soul manifestation abilities, because the ability and the heart are not so compatible, so if we put aside the difference in spiritual power, at the same spiritual power level, the power I exert is not as good as you real users."

"Does anyone else know about this...?"

"Only you."

"Huh?"

When she heard Ye Xing say that only she knew, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise a smile, but she had to pretend to be calm and said.

"Why... why do you only let me know?"

"On the one hand, I was forced by the situation today, I had to use the ability of Hundred Eyes to accurately lock the Holy Grail fragment in that guy's body, on the other hand..."

Ye Xing sat down next to Yukinoshita Yukino, looked directly into her eyes, and said earnestly.

"I believe that with your pride and aloofness, Yukino, you won't feel that you are insignificant and can be replaced just because your ability can be used by me."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips first, and then showed a hint of a smile.

"That's natural. If I'm not by your side to watch you, according to the personality of your fellow student, there will be many people who will rack their brains. How could anyone replace me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino lay on Ye Xing's lap, staring at the other person's face from an upward angle, and couldn't help but say subconsciously.

"You... you really are good-looking..."

"Of course, do I need you to tell me? Don't I know that myself?"

"Tch, you're being narcissistic again... I really shouldn't have praised you..."

Yukinoshita Yukino moved her body, turned around and buried her face in Ye Xing's clothes in a side-sleeping position, and then after a while, she asked.

"What did you just say about the essence of the Holy Grail?"

Ye Xing didn't answer directly, but asked instead.

"With the intelligence of you, Yukinoshita, it's impossible not to guess, right? If that's really the case, then it means that I have serious problems with my vision in both selecting club members and lovers."

"Hmph, I chose you, okay?"

Yukinoshita Yukino said arrogantly first, then thought for a while in her heart before tentatively answering.

"According to the words of Yagami Light from that world, there are two conditions for creating the Holy Grail. The first is a twisted person who can represent the seven deadly sins, which is the base of the Holy Grail. The second is... the desires of all mankind."

Ye Xing nodded, neither saying it was correct nor wrong, just smiled and said.

"Yes, continue."

"Then... the fragments representing the original sin, we have already collected before, and the dark yellow fragment you took out of that guy's body today... can only be something formed by the gathering of desires, that is... the source of power that constitutes the Holy Grail, but although it is said to be the source of power, it is obvious that the base of the Holy Grail is more important, because human desires are endless and can be condensed at any time, but so far, we have not found a second fragment of original sin, which means that to condense the fragment of original sin, it is either extremely difficult, or..."

Hearing this, Ye Xing slowly said.

"Or, each fragment of original sin will only appear once. In the situation where we hold the fragment representing lust..."

"The Holy Grail cannot be formed in this world."

Chapter 544 Development of Cat Girl Yukino, and a Date with Kasumigaoka Shiyu

"Not only can it not be formed, but also..."

Yukinoshita Yukino recalled the scene she had once seen on the train, and said thoughtfully.

"When desires are condensed to a certain degree, the main body... that is, the person whose body has fused with the fragment of desire will lose control, and we hold the fragment of lust, the fragment of original sin, will become a tracker that we can use because of the instinct to want to merge into one."

"That's right."

Ye Xing summoned the pale ghost hand, and let it put together the golden fragment representing original sin and the dark yellow fragment collected on the train earlier. The golden light on the surface of the original sin fragment flickered, slowly sucking in the fragment of desire, and then the volume became visibly larger.

"However, there are still two things that need to be investigated clearly."

With Yukinoshita Yukino's mind, she already knew what Ye Xing was referring to, and nodded slightly.

"Yes... first of all, we need to see if the reaction of wanting to condense into a complete Holy Grail will become stronger after the Holy Grail fragment we hold absorbs the fragments condensed from desire, that is, to test whether we can increase the tracking range of the remaining fragments by constantly letting this original sin fragment absorb desire and grow."

"Secondly, based on the identity information of the people to whom those heads belonged and the middle-aged man in this battle, we can analyze what kind of people will have their desires taken away, and what kind of people can become the carriers of the desire fragments. If we can find a pattern, and combine this original sin fragment as a tracker, we can start to take the initiative."

"But..."

Yukinoshita Yukino said here, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face showing a complex look, and she murmured.

"The known fragments of original sin, besides the lust we hold, there are also the arrogance of Yagami Light from another world, the anger of Sakuraikawa Rikka, and the greed of Reis Gining. These three fragments of original sin should have already appeared in this world, but recently we have not received any news of large-scale strange events, which means that... those three fragments of original sin may have already been acquired by others, or even the worst possibility..."

"Those three fragments of original sin... are in the hands of the same person."

......

At the same time, inside a building in Sapporo City.

"Minister Ito, we went to the place you said, but..."

Defense Minister Ito Shuji, wearing a neat suit, looked up, looked at his subordinate expressionlessly, and said lightly.

"But what?"

"But... when we arrived, there were no humans left in that village, as if the entire village had disappeared without a trace, but according to the on-site identification report, the soil in some areas of the village showed traces of being scorched by high temperatures."

"I see..."

Ito Shuji nodded noncommittally, and in the nervous expression of his subordinate, he suddenly showed a smile.

“Don't blame yourselves. It's not that your actions weren't timely enough, but that my orders were issued too late. In the end… the other party was still one step ahead. Since there are traces of scorched earth, it seems that guy has struck again.”

Seeing that Minister Ito had no intention of blaming them, his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Ito Shuji spoke again.

“Have you found anything among the prisoners currently in custody?”

“Not yet, Minister…”

The subordinate replied cautiously.

“There are simply too many criminals who commit crimes out of jealousy. Even if we narrow the scope to criminals who kill out of jealousy, there are still quite a few. As for those who commit crimes out of laziness, well… that's really hard to pinpoint. After all, if you really think about it, theft, robbery, and even all criminals engaged in illegal industries could be said to have committed these crimes out of their own laziness, not wanting to work normally.”

“Oh? Is that so…”

Ito Shuji nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice.

“Have you found anyone new with spiritual abilities, or rather, who possesses spiritual power?”

“Yes, I have already sent people to escort them to the designated location.”

“Mm, very good. You may leave.”

After the subordinate left the room, Ito Shuji spread his right hand open on the table. Four pieces of strangely golden shards slowly emerged from the flesh of his palm, accompanied by the inexplicable throbbing of the blood vessels on his arm.

“Just three more pieces… and I can… become the supreme being…”

… …

Later that evening, in Yukinoshita Yukino's room at the Super Quantity Society apartment building.

“That Kasumigaoka classmate's light novel has indeed made considerable progress.”

Yukinoshita Yukino leaned against Yoshing's body, holding the latest edition of 'Love Metronome' written by the famous light novelist Kasumi Utako. After reading the last page, she rubbed her eyes, closed the book, and stood up to put it back on her bookshelf.

“I didn't expect that initially, I just wanted you to take a look at her novel and give some pointers, but you actually became a fan of her books.”

“Hmph, a fan?”

Yukinoshita Yukino snorted softly, expressionless.

“I just wanted to understand what kind of person Kasumigaoka Shiwa is. After all… she is a rival.”

“Still being stubborn here?”

Yoshing walked to the bookshelf, looking at all the 'Love Metronome' books displayed on it, and shook his head with a smile.

“If you weren't a fan, and just wanted to understand Kasumigaoka Shiwa through her writing, why would you specially buy a set of the reset version with improved character illustrations?”

“This…”

Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts were exposed by Yoshing, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, immediately trying to cover it up.

“Hmph, this is to see what kind of person my other rival, that Sawamura classmate, is.”

“Sawamura classmate? Are you talking about Eriri? She shouldn't be considered a rival to you, right?”

“Really not?”

Yukinoshita Yukino took down a reset illustrated edition of 'Love Metronome', opened the page with the bookmark, and then showed the male protagonist's illustration on that page to Yoshing.

“Take another look, really not?”

Yoshing looked at the male protagonist's illustration and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

“Yo, this male protagonist's illustration looks quite like me.”

“Still pretending? Still pretending, huh?”

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, and then picked up several other 'Love Metronome' books, opening the pages with the bookmarks, only to see that they were all illustrations of the male protagonist.

“Look at this set, wearing a black coat with flames burning at the hem, isn't this your outfit when you're in action, except for the lack of a mask? Huh?”

“Also, this set is the black casual wear you usually wear, even the style of the jacket is exactly the same.”

“The main point is this set…”

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the illustration of the so-called 'male protagonist' wearing swimming trunks, revealing the muscle lines on his body, and couldn't help but clench her teeth, staring at Yoshing with burning eyes and questioning.

“The male protagonist's figure and muscle lines in this illustration are exactly the same as yours… Tell me honestly, have you and Sawamura classmate already…?”

“Eh, no way, that really didn't happen.”

Yoshing carefully observed the male protagonist's illustration in swimwear, and said with a look of emotion.

“Gosh, this is simply me.”

“So, you still want to quibble? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes…”

“Eh, that's not true.”

Yoshing waved his hand and explained seriously.

“Eriri and I have never had any intimate behavior or contact. The male protagonist's figure in this illustration is exactly the same as mine, which can only prove…”

Yukinoshita Yukino sneered twice: “It's a coincidence?”

“No.”

Yoshing shook his head and said with a smile.

“It proves that Eriri, as an illustrator, has an extremely high level of aesthetic appreciation, and can actually draw an illustration that is close to my perfect figure just by imagining it.”

“You… you're really narcissistic to the extreme…”

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, holding her forehead, and then said seriously again.

“Leaving aside the figure, just this expression, this attire, this hairstyle, this is simply based on you… No, saying it's based on you isn't enough, it's simply drawn based on you. Tell me, that Sawamura classmate even remembers what kind of clothes you usually like to wear, what is this if not liking you?”

“And Kasumigaoka Shiwa, look at her setting for the male protagonist: living alone, a height of just over 1.8 meters, an abstract personality, but very reliable at critical moments, often launching unexpected direct attacks on the female protagonist…”

“This is simply you! And that's not the main point. The main point is that among the female protagonist's rivals, there is also someone with blonde pigtails, fair skin, and a cute appearance, but with a very meager figure… Isn't this Sawamura classmate?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

While Yukinoshita Yukino was speaking, the Snow Woman jumped out again to chime in.

“That's right, that's right, it's too much!”

Faced with this series of accusations from one person and one spirit, Yoshing said somewhat speechlessly.

“No… this novel… the key is that I didn't write it, what's the use of you being angry with me here? It was written by Kasumigaoka Shiwa, can I stop her from writing it?”

“This… this…”

While Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated, still not knowing how to respond, the Snow Woman, whose personality was too straightforward due to her inner repression for too long, said bluntly.

“Hmph, of course we know it's not your problem, but we're jealous, so we have to vent our emotions on you!”

Yoshing looked shocked upon hearing this.

“You're quite confident, aren't you?”
