I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1099 Natsume Chie's First Awakening

As Natsume Chie awakened her spiritual powers, the clouds that shrouded the night sky over the entire Tokyo area seemed to slowly dissipate.

One by one, the stars lit up the sky:

The entire street suddenly fell into a kind of silence, a silence like warm water flowing over pebbles. The electronic sounds of the convenience store's automatic doors opening and closing, the weather forecast leaking from someone's TV, and even the laughter of some children who hadn't slept yet chasing each other, all went out of her ears.

Chie felt that she was in a very strange state.
In a state of extreme tranquility, she even saw the first star rise from the direction of Mount Fuji in the distance.

That star pierced through the rain clouds of the past in her eyes.
Trailing a pale purple flame, it disappeared into the sky.
Even the outline of Mount Fuji began to gradually become clear in the twilight, and the neon-lit cityscapes even floated above the snow line at its summit.

[Description of Extraordinary Characteristics:]
You can observe the trajectories of certain abnormal life forms through the psychic genealogy.

Then,

The girl seemed to see the last traces of her grandfather before he left.

She placed her hand on her heart, then silently bowed in farewell.

at this moment,
Chie Natsume has finally truly grown up.

She then took a deep breath before speaking to Su Wen:

"Teacher Dongyun, I think I saw a lot of strange things. Is this the 'secret' you were going to tell me?"

"right,

But this isn't a secret that belongs only to you; it's a secret that belongs to the whole world:

Outliers

The term originated six years ago in Greenwich, a quarter of the way through, so it's probably not exactly a secret.

Su Wen did not hide anything.

And to prove this point,
He gently placed the calico kitten he was carrying on the stone steps beside him, then smiled and stroked the kitten's fur as he continued speaking to Chie:
"For example, this,"
I've been observing this little guy for a while now. Although it was attracted by your Ascension lineage, it doesn't seem to have much malice towards me.

But even so,
You also need to add some constraints to it through your own lineage.

But as the handsome scholar spoke slowly and deliberately, the little calico cat instantly felt a great fear.

It was unaware that, as a second-tier monster, it had been exposed to the sight of someone it couldn't possibly have noticed for so long without any awareness.

even,

As he calmly narrated, the cat demon disguised as a kitten sensed an immense fear.
It can't hold any more.

It's even prepared to grow instantly!
But the next second, as Su Wen revealed his level three aura, it instantly became docile.
Then it shrank back again.

I have to say, this guy is much better than that half-baked Onmyoji from earlier in the day.

It resigned itself to its fate.

The little girl was shocked; she didn't know that the stray kitten she had adopted was actually a monster. But seeing the kitten huddled in the corner, she still went over and gently stroked it.
"Teacher Dongyun is a good person."
It's fine,
He won't hurt you.

The kitten closed its eyes after being petted, as if it was thoroughly enjoying the sensation.

This feeling of "since I'm already completely exposed, I might as well just give up" is much better than hiding my identity and pretending to be a kitten.

However, Su Wen did not make any other moves towards the little cat demon:
"Chie, whatever it was called before, you can call it Saya or whatever else you like."

Your spiritual lineage will enhance its magical energy fluctuations, and as a second-tier medium, it is sufficient to protect your safety.

But that's not my main point.
There are other secrets hidden within Sakuragaoka Academy. As for those things, Tsukishima, you can tell Chie if you'd like. And so,
After a long silence, Tsukishima Chisaki seemed to realize that neither Su Wen nor Chie were bad people who would continue to harm her.
She eventually told those stories.

When Chie heard about those painful experiences, she simply hugged her tightly, as if that could give her some warmth.

Then she turned her head towards where Su Wen was:

"Teacher Dongyun,"

Since Tokyo is in such a terrible state now, you must need me to do something for you.

"rest assured,
You just need to live your normal life from now on.

As for those conspiracies, I will expose them one by one.

Su Wen had already figured out exactly what he should do.

The process of Natsume Chie's awakening of her extraordinary abilities was actually an extremely brief one.

just,

Even if it was only a fleeting fluctuation, at the very moment the girl's psychic powers awakened, in that enormous experimental dish 300 meters underground in Okutama Town, Tokyo...
One of the countless compound eyes of an extremely terrifying figure seemed to slowly open for a moment.

But these things,
Even Su Wen had only vaguely anticipated it.

Since Chie and Tsukishima were both very tired today, he told them to go and rest early.

Su Wen, wearing a black trench coat, headed towards Tokyo.
Because the overall game time wasn't too long, and besides this game, he would also personally come to Tokyo in the future.

Therefore,
"I need to make some arrangements in advance."

At midnight,

The signal lights atop Tokyo Tower traced a final crimson arc across the city sky after the neon lights went out.

The vending machines in Shinjuku still mechanically churn out canned coffee, but the curtains of 24-hour convenience stores are rarely lifted anymore. Only taxis on night shifts occasionally whiz by the street corner, their headlights sweeping over the uncollected beer crates in front of izakayas, creating shimmering fragments of gold on the asphalt.

At three in the morning, Ginza Chuo-dori was enveloped in a strange vacuum. The mechanical watches in the luxury shop windows were still turning tirelessly, but the spotlights displaying jewelry had been uniformly dimmed to a barely luminous glow.

At the 4-chome intersection, the traffic signal switches between red, green, and yellow on its own. On the deserted zebra crossing, the zebra stripes, washed by the rain, gleam wetly under the streetlights.

At four o'clock in Taitung District, the dew that had condensed on the corrugated iron roof of Tsukiji Market began to fall.

Seafood wholesalers huddled beside insulated boxes, dozing off. The chill seeping from the freezer mingled with the morning mist, creating a pale blue haze at the street corner.

As the first garbage truck rolled over the wet cobblestones of the alley, the scraping sound of metal startled the wind chimes on the eaves of Senso-ji Temple. In the lingering echo of the copper bells, the horizon finally revealed a sky as blue as a crab shell.

All of these experiences gave Su Wen a feeling that was both strange and familiar:

That's a sense of contradiction unique to Tokyo, or rather, to all of Japan.

It's as if Sei Shonagon wrote in "The Pillow Book":

【春はあけぼの.やうやう白くなりゆく山ぎは (The dawn of spring, the mountains gradually turn white)】

But Jiang Menghan wasn't by his side at the moment, so he didn't have any further ideas about discussing Japanese literature.

Next,
How to help Chie first shut down those bullies is perhaps just the appetizer before he uncovers the secrets of Tokyo's "Deep Tokyo".

And whenever I think of this,
Su Wen, who had already prepared a perfect plan, looked on with a rare sense of anticipation.
after all,

That scoundrel who takes pleasure in tormenting and mocking others deserves to die long ago!
