Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

The police's suspicion that Hirano Yuji consumed Igarashi Mari in the "Dream Man" incident is not without reason, since Igarashi Mari did indeed enter Hirano Yuji's body.

Perhaps the story is based on a real-life cannibalism incident.

Of course, the prototype is the prototype, and the story is the story. There really is a Sandman in this world, whose curse caused Yuji Hirano of the dream world to replace Yuji Hirano of the real world.

Amamiya Rin's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes held a rare excitement.

I feel somewhat sorry for the victims in this file.

However, Amamiya Rin is indeed very happy now.

Because we finally have a lead!

For Yuji Hirano, the Sandman's curse was undoubtedly a catastrophe... well, not necessarily, he and his girlfriend entered the dream world together.

Although it's terrible, it might still be a good thing compared to others who are still alive and destined to experience at least five apocalypses.

In short, this is a great thing for Amamiya Rin, who can stay awake in his dreams!

Once the curse of the Sandman can be used to switch between the dream self and the real self, the long dream will no longer be a curse for Amamiya Rin, but a blessing!

(I was right!)

Amamiya Rin murmured to herself.

In the vast sea of ​​people, relying on him and Tomie to find the curse of the Sleep Demon is undoubtedly like headless flies bumping around aimlessly.

Having gotten in touch with Ranko Inudo, there's no need to waste time; just check the files directly.

While thinking about it, Amamiya Rin glanced at the follow-up to the file.

Because there's no evidence...? So that means torture to extract a confession?

After being convicted, due to the lack of physical evidence, he could only be given a lenient sentence of three years in prison, and Yuji Hirano is currently still in jail.

After confirming Hirano Yuji's location, Amamiya Rin did not linger in the police history compilation office. He bid farewell to Inudou Ranko and the other two and hurriedly left the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, instead of visiting him in prison or going home immediately, Amamiya Rin went to an internet cafe.

He turned on his computer, logged into his email, and clicked the mouse to reveal an unread email.

The reply from Murata Shinro Consulting Office is the result of yesterday's appointment.

The firm has accepted the appointment, scheduled for 2:30 PM. The content is concise and easy to understand.

After reading the contents, Amamiya Rin leaned back in her chair, a more relaxed expression on her face.

The appointment was successful. The next step is to meet this genius hypnotist whom Professor Matsuura calls a monster and find a way to get his guidance.

As for Yuji Hirano, his identity and position have already been confirmed, so there's no need to rush.

I'll apply for a prison visit later, and then, to ensure I hear the truth from Hirano Yuji, I'll first improve my hypnosis skills.

Speaking of which, the application process for prison visits seems to take some time. We'll see if we can use our connections with Inudou Ranko, or...

Amamiya Rin closed the webpage, cleared her browsing history, and got up to leave.

Back home, sitting on the sofa, Amamiya Rin took out her notebook, flipped through a few pages, and what appeared before her were the events she had experienced during this period.

[Slit-mouthed Woman, dealt with.] [Vampire, dealt with.] [Flesh-colored Monster, dealt with.] [Group, dealt with.] [Long Hair in the Attic, pending.] [Human Head Balloon, pending, solution available.] [Ghost of Golden Hour, pending.] [Long Dream, pending, solution available.] [Ju-on, pending.] [Apology Demon, pending.]

After adding a few entries, looking at her diary, Amamiya Rin couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality, as well as a sense of accomplishment.

How long has it been? Has he already encountered so many special events? And solved so many of them?

"Once the long dream is resolved, it will be equivalent to escaping an inevitable death."

Amamiya Rin muttered to herself.

Other curses, at worst, can be escaped, but Changmeng is the only one he cannot escape. Once the threat of Changmeng is eliminated, he will truly be free to roam the world.

Thinking of this, Yu Gonglin relaxed completely, and the fatigue that had accumulated in his body, as well as the exhaustion from the brief battle last night, all came rushing back.

Amamiya Rin did not forcefully suppress him. He closed his eyes to rest, regulated his breathing, entered a meditative state, and sorted out his state of mind in preparation for the afternoon's visit.

(So, you can't go to the gym with me today?)

The regretful thought of replacing the meat with Tomie floated through Amamiya Rin's mind.

(No... If I can really solve the threat of the long dream and at the same time obtain the curse of the sleep demon, there's no need to rush into fitness.)

Amamiya Rin's emotional fluctuations had subsided to a minimum, but his thoughts still stirred as he considered a certain possibility.

(Working out in a dream? Then swapping out the dream body? Directly gaining the results of decades in the dream?)

Meat-modified Tomie sensed Amamiya Rin's thoughts.

In an instant, her emotions surged like a raging storm, crashing over [Tomie Network].

(Is this even possible? Isn't this cheating?)

As the name suggests, Tomie's head is all muscle, so she hadn't realized how much the Sandman's curse was going on before. Now, after being reminded by Amamiya Rin, she instantly realized it.

This way of playing is so unfair!

If one could exercise in a dream for decades and then bring the results from the dream to life, wouldn't her physical fitness improve hundreds of times overnight?

Even thousands of times?

Even Tomie, who always believed that the world should revolve around her, felt that this was a bit too absurd.

(Why not? Well, it's not as exaggerated as you think. Putting aside whether pressure devices can even work in a dream world, they're not real gym equipment after all. Even if they could work, gym equipment has its limits. If your physical fitness increases dozens of times, those machines would be useless, right?)

When this matter was mentioned, Amamiya Rin was not as agitated as Meat-Changing Tomie.

Cheating? Using cheats? Absurd? Unscrupulous?

In Junji Ito's worldview, what does this mean?

Did A-ge and his companion cheat by dividing their souls into tens of millions and controlling the audience through electromagnetic waves?

Is it possible for Yuuma Azawa to use his cheat code to destroy all of humanity through a live television broadcast after simply apologizing?

Is Tomie's rebirth through blood absurd?

Is the hellish planet that treats Earth like a snack really shameless?

This world is full of oddities, both in terms of numerical values ​​and mechanics. Even with intense workouts, you might not be able to improve your physical abilities to the level of Spider-Man; at best, you'll only be able to become Captain America.

If you put Captain America in this rotten world, how long could he survive? Without understanding the plot, he could easily die, and even a 50/50 fight wouldn't help.
