Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

Conan, who thought he was studying hard in the magic school, could only understand half of what was written on the whiteboard.

"I think so. Or maybe that tricky Silent Hill is a rule-based domain composed of nightmares and fears of people all over the world. There is a law of fear over there. That place is undoubtedly a mythical ghost."

Lux filled a whiteboard with various magical theories and conjectures.

He put down his pen, turned and smiled at Conan-san who was trying to understand what was on the whiteboard.

"Ke, Silent Hill is a thousand times more dangerous than we initially thought. You have walked directly into the body of the God of Disobedience, which has opened its divine domain. Although this description is a bit wrong, it feels like this. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to successfully rescue the people and completely destroy the place. Even I can't do it."

"It's just luck."

Conan-san really thought so.

If he, a time traveler, had not created a treasure that just corresponded to the dreamlike nightmare world because of the random golden finger that he could not control, he would probably still be fighting in the depths of the dream in Silent Hill.

Although it is estimated that they will be able to succeed in the end, they may not be able to completely deal with Silent Hill and resolve this problem completely.

"Ke, it's a good thing you have the ability to destroy Silent Hill now. Otherwise, if this hellhole continues to grow and collects more of humanity's fears and nightmares, it will be difficult to eliminate it, and it will only make this hellhole an eternal nightmare for the human world."

"It's good that the nightmare is over... but now I want to have some sleep."

Conan-san used an anti-world treasure, and he was already injured. Now that he has relaxed, he wants to have a good sleep.

"I'll leave it to you to clean up the mess. I'm going to go take a rest first."

184 Final Report

Conan-san slept for a long time and then woke up.

Even though he had consumed a large amount of magic power in order to use the anti-world treasure, and his body was also damaged by the explosion of fear, he was still full of energy when he woke up.

Conan-san stood in front of the mirror, looking at his face which was no different from before.

"........."

The face in the mirror, after Conan had traveled through time for several years, he had slowly become accustomed to it.

However, when he woke up, he felt that his face had become a little strange.

He instinctively glanced at a passive skill in the Soul Card.

[Divinity B+]

【All-round ability improvement】

[Damage Increase]

"I think I understand... Because this divinity has risen a little bit, the props and spells I used to conceal my temperament and appearance are about to lose their effectiveness..."

Conan-san sighed silently.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, after he himself had changes due to the various passive effects of the soul card, he asked Professor Autumn to cover up his special abilities.

Professor Autumn used the same method he used to hide the true identity of his daughter Comet to cover up Conan-san.

Conan Shan also did not forget to carry the corresponding magic props with him to maintain the effect of this targeted special magic.

However, the soul card's skill was only slightly enhanced, and the magic seemed to be ineffective.

Conan-san curled his lips.

He thought, perhaps the only option here is to seek help from the second generation Dark Lord.

The reason I didn't ask for help before wasn't because I was on guard against anything, but I just thought it would be better not to rely on others for too many things.

But now, I can’t care so much.

"Alas, the influence of the Soul Card is damn permanent. Even if I remove the Stranger Card from the card slot, these passive skills will still remain on me..."

All the changes to Conan himself basically come from the soul card of his golden finger.

The reason that affects his appearance and temperament, making him extremely eye-catching and with an unnecessary and redundant sense of presence, is the various ability enhancements of the Stranger Cards.

If necessary, Conan Mountain certainly wouldn't mind having the various abilities of the Outlander card at some point.

But, he tried.

The impact that has been caused to him will always exist even if the Soul Card is put down, and will not disappear just because the Soul Card is not placed in the card slot.

Without soul cards, he really couldn't use various treasures and active skills, but passive skills seemed to be a different matter.

Therefore, Conan-san had no way to simply solve his troubles.

"It feels like all the injuries I suffered before have recovered... Hedgehog 40% off purchase: 湫／』零≤∵驷№〈八＠！④!贰"九嶙'￠５∞... I'll be fine after a good night's sleep..."

Conan-san, whose fear was detonated in his body, was really seriously injured.

If it weren't for his amazing physique and recovery ability, as well as the large amount of resistance stacked by the soul card, he would have been killed long ago.

After solving the trouble in Silent Hill, he of course immediately took out the recovery potion from his magic backpack to treat his injuries.

But even so, his recovery speed was too fast.

"Do you want to get a physical check-up?"

Conan-san never fully checked his physical condition on this side of XCOM.

He knows that he is special, and he wants to avoid letting others know as much as possible.

Alternatively, he could operate the advanced equipment here by himself, and destroy all the records after examining the body, so that no one would notice it.

He could also ask Professor Qiu, or Lux, who he should be able to trust. These two people would not tell anyone about his physical condition.

"It's not urgent, let's wait and see."

Conan Shan has almost recovered now, but he has no plans to go back to Hogwarts immediately.

Silent Hill had indeed been resolved, so he didn't need to worry about the related aftermath. However, since he had already taken leave, he might as well take a few more days and go back to school next week.

Anyway, missing a few days of classes shouldn't affect his magic learning.

In order to wait for the report about Silent Hill, Conan continued to stay in the human world.

The next day, Conan Shan, the magic consultant, received the latest Silent Hill report.

The XCOM troops that were rescued earlier have not yet recovered and most of them are still lying in hospital beds, but after receiving the highest level of treatment, their lives are no longer in danger.

They were able to verbally answer Silent Hill's questions, and so the report came out.

"Sure enough, it's almost like what I guessed. In this nightmare realm of Silent Hill, everyone's perceived time may be different."

Conan-san saw the experience report of Quincy Clayton, the super soldier he met in the school in his dream.

Quincy Clayton was initially forced to separate from his companions after entering the school because of the lack of hiding places on the floors.

After that, he never waited for his companions.

However, it wasn't long before he ran into Conan-san.

Although, after parting with Conan-san, the two of them never met again.

This super soldier vaguely sensed the weirdness of the school, but he had no way to break the impasse and could only grit his teeth and continue to play hide-and-seek with death.

Quincy Clayton persisted, and after hiding for who knows how many times, he finally reached the top floor.

Reaching the top floor of the school means he has entered the final death game.

The final death game can be said to be childish to some extent, as it is a game of statues.

The strange big cat head is a wooden man, and Quincy Clayton, the only contestant, needs to find a way to touch this big cat head.

Quincy Clayton is always a super soldier, his reaction ability is very strong, and he will never fail as an ordinary wooden man.

However, when he was about to touch the big cat's head, he instinctively felt that if he really touched the black smoke-like monster in front of him, he might die.

After a brief struggle, Quincy Clayton decided to give up the so-called rules of the game. He did not touch the big cat's head, but jumped off the rooftop.

He managed to survive.

However, when he stepped on solid ground again, he came into a strange big house.

Quincy Clayton was not so lucky this time.

He hadn't walked through many rooms before he was subdued by a group of unarmed humanoid monsters.

Quincy Clayton was aware that these humanoid monsters were not real humans, but he didn't know why he suddenly lost all his strength and was easily knocked unconscious and carried away by them.

Judging from the situation at that time, it is possible that there were some abnormal influences in the room he was in that he could not detect.

However, the reason why he lost his ability to move at that time was no longer important. The Silent Hill incident had been resolved without his knowledge.

Afterwards, Conan saw the other person's naked body hanging on a big tree disguised as a Black Goat Kid.

"According to the super soldier's report, he played the death game for most of the day after he and I separated. But I don't feel that way. The time he and I were separated was only ten minutes at most. And based on other people's reports, it is basically certain that the time in Silent Hill is different according to each person's feelings, just like everyone has difficulty determining the time in a dream."

Quincy Clayton was actually lucky, because unlike his companions, he did not force himself to stay awake for five consecutive days, nor did he have to face different strange and magical realms in a weak body.

He didn't sleep too long, and his body eventually disappeared into a deep dream.

Although he was still affected by the power of the Dark Young and became insane for a short time, he was no longer in serious trouble now, at least much better than most other super soldiers.

"As for the others who died or disappeared in Silent Hill, they can't be found now..."

Conan couldn't be sure whether there was anyone alive in other unobservable places when he used his treasure to destroy the entire Silent Hill.

At that time he had no other methods or choices, so he just assumed that everyone was dead.

And judging from the actual situation, it is certain that the rest of the people really died.

Even if he later found out that there were other survivors, he would not regret his choice.

He couldn't do everything perfectly, but since he had successfully eliminated Silent Hill, the culprit of everything, that was already good enough.

He is not a saint, so he won't dwell on trivial matters.

"During the Silent Hill incident, XCOM lost five super soldiers, two magic advisors... and nearly fifty ordinary civilians who were innocently involved..."

Conanshan read the entire preliminary report and then closed it.

"Anyway, this matter is over, let's just leave it at that."

185 Funeral

A week after the Silent Hill incident, Conan went to the human world to attend a soldier's funeral held by XCOM.

This was not the first time Conan-san had participated in such a funeral.

The last time was when an accident occurred during the officially organized Heroic War, where three integrated gods of disobedience descended from the sky, causing heavy casualties at the XCOM military base at the time.

After defeating the God of Disobedience, XCOM held a large-scale funeral to commemorate the members who had unfortunately died.

⒉This time, fewer XCOM soldiers died in the Silent Hill incident, but the scale and level of the funeral were no less.

The main reason is that among the victims this time are members of the Magic Advisory Group.

Even in the previous attack by the God of Disobedience, no one from the Magic Advisory Group died, at most they were seriously injured.

0 When facing Silent Hill, the magic advisory group from the magic world suffered casualties.

From the perspective of the human world, of course this funeral must be held in a grand manner.

3 "After all, Lux, the chief of the Magic Advisory Council, or the second generation Dark Lord, who truly brought magical power to the human world, is a fierce man who can block an exploding nuclear bomb with his bare hands. The human world certainly can't just sit there and do nothing but respect him... respect for the power of the strong."

㈤ Conan changed his thinking position, put himself in the position of the upper echelons of the human world, and soon figured out the reason.

㈥Someone from the Magic Advisory Group sacrificed his life to protect the human world. In any case, they need to be given enough respect, but it certainly won’t be the highest level they are now.

Today, in order to commemorate the victims of the Silent Hill incident, all members of XCOM wore black ribbons or black cloths.

XCOM's senior representative, the elderly super soldier Maximilian Berkman, led commanders from different regions to bury the victims in the military cemetery.

Hundreds of XCOM members who attended the funeral saluted all the victims in the graves at the end of the burial ceremony.

In addition, at different XCOM military bases around the world, at the same time as the funeral, everyone observed three minutes of silence.

"It feels like the whole world is paying tribute to the victims... No matter what the higher-ups in the human world think, the surface work is indeed done well enough."

Conan Shan, who changed into a brand new black suit to attend the funeral, secretly glanced at the second generation Dark Lord who had a dull expression beside him.

The people that Lux brought from the magic world were naturally all people he could trust.

Those people were not only his subordinates, but also his friends, and those who understood his idea of ​​reforming the customs of the magic continent.

Even the loss of only two companions was a heavy loss for the second generation Dark Lord.

You know, the companions that Lux initially brought to the human world were only a dozen or so.

Although after the human world had stabilized, he secretly brought more people over and let them join the Magic Advisory Group little by little, and then developed it to the current size of dozens of people, but each one of them was carefully selected by him, and each one is an irreplaceable talent.
