Gensou smiled and waved to the others, then turned and left without any hesitation, much like an NPC who had come to trigger a quest. Kinomoto Sakura opened her mouth, wanting to stop him, but the boy's figure disappeared cleanly and decisively, showing no intention of lingering. Kinomoto Sakura pouted unhappily, wanting to complain, but thinking of her homework which was far from finished, she could only leave her complaints for next time.
Gengo returned to his office, but to his surprise, he saw two guys who shouldn't have been there.
"Shouldn't you be at St. Freya?"
Seeing Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu huddled together looking at the computer, Yuan Xiang had a series of question marks popping into his head. After all, according to what they had been told before, they should have been under medical observation at St. Freya's place.
"I haven't finished buying all the stocks on my side yet."
Cang Xuan calmly said:
"If you were to handle this kind of thing, I'm afraid you'd lose as much money as you could. I absolutely cannot tolerate that."
"Um... since my sister is here, I can't not come."
Danzhu chuckled foolishly and said:
"After all, my sister needs my care, oh dear, sister, I'm telling the truth... Ugh!! Stop filming, if you keep filming, your brain will go stupid..."
"If you guys feel unwell, remember to go to St. Freya immediately... Wait, wait a moment, I'm going out for a bit."
Halfway through his sentence, Genji suddenly remembered something, and without turning back, he went back to Kinomoto Sakura's world, found Hiiragi Eriol again, and asked him about the health problems of Sogen and Danju.
As for this, Hiiragi Eriol blinked blankly. Although he could explain Cangxuan Danzhu's situation from the perspective of magic and soul, it was beyond his scope to explain the specific problems of the physical body.
But it doesn't matter. Magic doesn't need science. Hiiragi Eriol made two amulets and gave them to Genji, asking him to pass them on to the two girls. As long as they wore them, they wouldn't lose their lives even if unexpected situations occurred.
Thank you.
With these two items, Yuanxiang breathed a sigh of relief. After sincerely thanking them, he returned to the office, handed the talisman to Cangxuan and Danzhu, and inquired about the situation in the Honkai World.
"What else could be happening? Everything is very quiet."
Danzhu fiddled with the amulet and whispered:
"However, one of the male teachers at the academy resigned, saying he had important family matters to attend to. Then Theresa was summoned to the Schicksal headquarters, but the order was only just given when we arrived here, so that guy is probably still packing his things to leave."
It seems I still have some time to prepare.
Gensho nodded, the tension in his heart easing slightly. He then pushed open the door, intending to find Takamachi Nanoha and ask her to tell Kaname Madoka not to travel between worlds casually. Just then, the door emitted a faint light, but this time it was different from before. The faint light emitted a strange black aura, like a passage locked by fate. The ominous aura swirling around it made Danzhu and Cangxuan jump up from their seats.
"Don't worry, it doesn't mean to hurt anyone."
It was simply fulfilling its duty to protect the windy city.
Without any apparent reason, Gensou knew perfectly well why this power had appeared, which also indicated that the world he was about to travel to would be a rather unusual place.
"If I get back late, please tell Otto that I have an urgent matter to attend to and cannot leave for the time being."
After saying that, Yuanxiang didn't give Danzhu and Cangxuan any chance to ask any further questions. He disappeared through the door, and then the boy met the gaze of a rather cute girl.
"...Brother Yuanxiang, the way you appeared was really quite frightening."
Suppressing a scream that almost escaped her lips, Madoka Kaname, still in her pajamas, patted her chest, opened the window, and looked at the somewhat bewildered boy, saying softly:
"If I hadn't been thinking about something and my mind hadn't been a few beats slower, Yuanxiang-gege, you would be being chased and beaten by my family right now."
"Although I was somewhat prepared, I never expected it to actually be you."
Gengo, with mixed feelings, grasped Kaname Madoka's hand. As the girl looked surprised and shy, a voice resounded in her heart:
"I'm sorry, this is the only way I can communicate with you right now, Xiaoyuan. During this period, please do not use the dimensional chat group, and it's best not to even open it. I need to investigate something here, which involves some danger, so I hope you can cooperate."
"........"
Kaname Madoka didn't understand this method of communicating through telepathy, but since Gengo was using such a mysterious and cautious approach, she naturally wouldn't be a bad teammate. She pursed her lips, nodded vigorously, and after receiving Madoka's response, Gengo smiled slightly and said softly:
"Then you go ahead with your work. I have something to do here, so I'll take my leave first. Don't worry, I'll protect you, so just pretend nothing happened and go about your business. It'll be fine."
413 Impossible
Sure enough, there was something there.
After bidding farewell to Madoka Kaname, Gengo looked at the dark night sky around him, his brows furrowing slightly. He pressed the 'cyclone' button, and instantly, a strong wind arose, turning the entire city into a domain of wind, searching for the strange things in the city. But the wind found nothing, and Gengo could still feel that lingering gaze on him, a gaze that wanted to scrutinize him and even see through everything about him, filled with an ominous feeling.
"Whew!!!"
Cyclone seemed to have noticed this as well, and the wind, which had been feeling uneasy, howled again. However, this time, a faint green data stream was visible in the wind, echoing in every corner of the city. Only then did Gensou feel a lightness on his body, and the feeling of being watched slowly dissipated.
"What exactly is that thing?"
Yuanxiang tapped his brow in confusion. At that moment, he suddenly felt a strange sense of panic. It wasn't that he was afraid of the unknown, but rather that his body's instincts gave him an ominous premonition. This was a warning from a sense of crisis, and it was another warning after the battle with the Fear Demon King.
'xtreme!'
After sensing this unease, Genji didn't say much. He went straight to the Earth Library, trying to find the reason for his unease. However, he had too few keywords to search for. No matter how he searched, all Genji could find was useless information. For the sake of his health and his limited Glory Power, the boy had no choice but to leave the Earth Library and return to reality.
There wasn't much to say. Genji continued to spread the power of 'cyclone'. Now he had nothing left to hold back. Since the unknown enemy might be exceptionally powerful, he would turn the city into his stronghold, just like he had done in Fuuto, and try to incorporate all the changes within it into his perception.
Oh? This aura is...
Suddenly, Yuanxiang caught a strange scent in the wind, filled with despair and sorrow, and a faint smell of blood was also emanating from it. This was definitely something that needed attention.
Without hesitation, Yuanxiang instantly arrived at the place guided by the wind. He looked around and saw a hospital that looked rather simple. After a brief look, the boy figured it was probably a private hospital that wasn't very profitable.
However, that was not what he needed to care about. He was searching for that vanished aura, but when he reached the end, he only found the body of a dead person who had fallen from the building and whose body was twisted and deformed.
It's hopeless. After all, there was still a faint smile of happiness on the face of the deceased. It wasn't a look of relief, but rather a sudden death as if the person was in a dream, immersed in some kind of beautiful dream. This was definitely not suicide, but someone pushed them from behind.
Since that's the case, there's no need to say more. Yuanxiang went up to the rooftop. The rooftop was empty, but it exuded a rather eerie aura. If an ordinary person came here, they would instinctively run away with their arms crossed. However, in Yuanxiang's eyes, the truth was clear at a glance. There was some strange spatial power on this rooftop. As long as the barrier between reality and virtuality was removed, the truth would be revealed.
"zone!"
Thinking of this, Gensou pressed the Gaia Memory. The powerful force instantly tore apart the disguise within, revealing a strange spatial passage. Without the slightest hesitation, the boy stepped into it and was immediately immersed in... well, a somewhat quirky art style environment. This reminded Gensou of what his grandfather had once said—the Korachi style, which is a special technique of using glue or paste to attach objects to a picture, similar to the "paste painting" of China or the "Zhang Fu" of Japan.
However, because the painting process involves destroying and then reassembling everything to enhance the artistic form, color variations, and the depiction of the object's "texture," it often leaves viewers confused, perplexed, and bewildered. It prompts viewers to ponder questions such as, "What does that mean? What is its significance? What is its purpose?"
Under this art style, although Gensho can tell that it is based on the interior environment of the hospital or is a product born directly from the scenery, no matter what it is, it takes a bit of imagination to figure out what the prototype he is seeing is.
“!@¥@#¥”
At that moment, Yuanxiang heard a sound like cicadas chirping. It seemed that something was talking, but the language it spoke was beyond human comprehension. Soon, the creature that communicated with that strange sound appeared in front of the boy. It was a toy dog wrapped in white cloth strips and holding objects that looked like scalpels, stethoscopes, and gauze. Its furry appearance could not be called cute. Clumps of gray cotton wool were gushing out of the gap in its head, making it look quite frightening.
“¥%……¥……%”
At the same time, the kobolds also saw Gensou. They immediately let out strange screams and charged towards the boy, holding whatever they were carrying. They had no intention of killing him, but they were terrifying. It was as if, at that moment, one had been chosen as some kind of sacrificial offering and could only lie quietly, waiting for the gods to enjoy him. Gensou glanced at the kobolds who were the first to rush over, carrying a stretcher, hesitated for a moment, and did not resist. He let the monsters tie him to the stretcher. To be fair, the binding was quite weak. Although it looked like it was tied tightly, one could easily break free by simply raising one's arm.
They probably don't have much intelligence; they act according to some pre-programmed sequence.
Yuanxiang watched as the kobolds cheered shrilly after seeing him being strapped to a stretcher. Lying down, he observed their actions and pondered to himself. Meanwhile, the monsters quickly escorted Yuanxiang toward the pale, distorted emergency room. But upon entering, the boy discovered that there was a queue. In front of him, there were at least ten bound men waiting to be put on the operating table.
On the operating table, Yuanxiang watched as the dog-headed men ruthlessly sliced open the human body with scalpels, pulled out the obviously blackened lungs, stuffed them with their own cotton wool, and then began frantically stitching up the wounds. It has to be said that their movements were incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, Yuanxiang had already completed the surgery. At this rate, it would only take him a few seconds at most, but Yuanxiang clearly wouldn't let them continue their haphazard actions.
The boy broke free of his restraints, chased the kobolds aside, and placed his hand on the patient undergoing surgery. He then infused his body with ripples. Genji shook his head helplessly and withdrew his hand. The patient was already extremely weak, and judging from his lungs, it was likely lung cancer caused by smoking. Based on his experience at Fuuto Hospital, this patient was suffering from cancer every moment, and these kobolds had only hastened his death. Yet, on the patient's face, he wore the same expression as the man who had fallen to his death, as if his pain had been banished.
However, right in front of this operating table was an open window. If Yuanxiang was not mistaken, the next step for these dog-meat people was to push the patient out from there, creating the illusion that he had fallen to his death.
"..."
Genji didn't speak, but simply took out the Lost Driver, fastened it to his waist, and pressed 'Joker,' intending to eliminate these kobolds and return the kidnapped patient to where he was. But at that moment, the boy felt his clothes being gently tugged. He looked down and saw the patient, who should have been carried onto the operating table, looking at him weakly and pleading softly:
"Please, take me downstairs. I don't want to continue treatment. I'm out of money. I can't let my son and daughter be ruined because of me..."
"........"
Gengo was speechless. He could only use all his medical skills on the patient. Although people in Fuuto often said that Kamen Rider Joker seemed to be omnipotent, the boy knew very well that sometimes, fighting was the simplest and easiest way to solve problems. There were some things that even Gengo could not answer. He could only bitterly say something that sounded like a statement from someone who didn't understand the pain: "Please don't give up hope. Please try to live on."
'Joker!'
Amidst the magnetic sound effects, the black-clad Kamen Rider burst out of the operating room and charged downstairs. Since this place was taken from a real-world building, the culprit must be in the director's office. Conceptual projections are often surprisingly easy to deduce. However, before this, the patients had already been sent into reality by Gengo using wind. But to prevent new patients from being captured, Gengo could only keep increasing the speed.
At this moment, the door to the dean's office was just in front of them, but under the interference of this strange barrier power, the door seemed to be a passage to heaven, filled with a sacred aura. The boy punched it open and saw an angel with wings made of banknotes floating in the air, emitting a laugh that was still strange but relatively pleasant. In front of it, dog-headed people jumped out of cups, quickly wrapped themselves in white cloths from their naked appearance, and ran out of the office with their heads held high and chests puffed out, as if they couldn't wait to perform surgery.
"Joker! Maximum Drive!"
Without any hesitation, fierce killing energy condensed in the knight's fist, and the shockwave instantly destroyed everything here. The seemingly holy angel monster also vanished without a trace, without even a chance to struggle. Genshou easily eliminated it. At that moment, the distorted barrier disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
However, something remained in the barrier, something that had fallen from the strange angel: a spherical gem with a crown-like decoration on top and sharp spikes at the bottom. In the center of the gem, however, a foul and filthy aura flowed, shattering the beauty of this flawless gem.
"What is this? Do you know what it is?"
Yuanxiang twirled the long thorn in his hand, admiring it for a moment before speaking softly without turning his head. At the entrance to the rooftop stood a girl who had appeared out of nowhere. She wore two spiral ponytails tied with ribbons, hanging down on either side of her face. She wore a beige high-collar uniform and a black and white checkered pleated skirt, but her rounded thighs were covered with knee-length black stockings, which, combined with her well-developed figure, exuded an exceptionally mature aura.
"This is the Grief Seed, something you'll naturally obtain after defeating the witch. It can absorb the filth from the Soul Gem and is an important purification tool for the Soul Gem. How come it didn't even explain such a basic thing to you when you signed the contract with Kyubey?"
As the girl spoke, her gaze wandered over Gensou's entire body until she saw the gem between the Kamen Rider's eyebrows. She then nodded, placed her hand on his ample breasts, and smiled as she said:
"My name is Mami Tomoe. Don't be nervous. I'm your senior, so if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. I'll take good care of you."
"...So, the first question..."
Although he wasn't quite sure what was going on with this overly friendly girl, Genshou was certain of one thing. He weighed the gem in his hand, then looked at the girl and said:
"What are you? A human? Or something like that so-called witch from before?"
What are you talking about?
Mami Tomoe gave a helpless smile and said softly, "We are magical girls, you know, beings who specialize in eliminating witches. What could possibly have caused such a strange misunderstanding in you?"
"What? Of course it's this one."
Gensou picked up the so-called Seed of Lamentation, his gaze falling on Mami Tomoe, and said softly:
"Haven't you noticed yet? You and that witch are almost identical beings. Your body is just a simple shell, and your thoughts and soul reside in this tiny gem. I think I'm not mistaken about this. I think you also have something very similar to this."
Mami Tomoe remained silent, simply taking out a gem without a crown or spikes. Compared to the Grief Seed, her gem was much brighter and clearer. However, in Mami's silence, Genji noticed a strange cloudiness appear on the gem. Then, Mami took out a Grief Seed and absorbed the cloudiness. Her attitude seemed to harden as a result, and she said decisively, "Impossible. You must have done something wrong. It must be like this."
414 The Vanished Cupid
Although Mami Tomoe's expression was quite firm, her tone was somewhat unsteady, and even her choice of words and the tone of her voice at the end were problematic, highlighting an incredulity.
Genji gazed at the gemstone in Tomoe Mamina, which seemed to have become cloudy again, paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand and looked at the girl in front of him, saying:
"Come on, give me that gem first, and then I'll explain it to you slowly."
"........."
Faced with Gengo's words, Mami Tomoe fell into a long silence, her face filled with conflict. It must be said that this girl was very calm and intelligent. Faced with such a request, she did not immediately dismiss it and leave, but instead pondered this view that was simply going to overturn her worldview, which was quite remarkable.
However, Gengo obviously didn't have time to wait for her to think it over. In an instant, the gem that Mami Tomoe was holding was in the boy's hand. Then, without hesitation, Gengo threw the gem away forcefully. Without giving Mami Tomoe any time to speak, the gem disappeared into the sky.
Then.....
Mami Tomoe's body stiffened abruptly, her bright pupils dilated, losing all their light, and then her graceful body collapsed limply to the ground like a delicate rubber doll. Gengo didn't say much, and with a casual wave of his hand, the wind brought the gem back. Just as the gem returned to the rooftop, Mami Tomoe's body suddenly trembled, like a game character re-logging in, silently and slowly standing up, her eyes blankly staring at the gem in Gengo's hand.
