Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

On the interface of his lowered mobile phone, the same "Access Denied" message appeared as that of Yukinoshita Yukino in the real world.

"It's not good, it's really not good now!" Mona lowered his head and tapped the table with his feet. "We don't know what happened in the real world. We don't know why all the shadows in the hall disappeared. Now we can't even get out of the hall. If we don't have any clues, we can't get out of the current predicament."

"As for why Kamoshida's shadow disappeared, it should be related to his disappearance in the real world." Mona's expression became more and more ugly. "If the real body disappears in reality, the shadow in the Impression Space Hall will naturally disappear as well."

"In that case, Yukinoshita-san should have already..." Amamiya Ren stopped talking halfway, but the other person and cat present instantly understood what he wanted to say.

"Damn it! What the hell happened?" Ryuji Sakamoto slammed his fist on the table, scaring Morgana so much that he jumped.

"Now we can only try to resolve the anomaly in the real world and pin our hopes on KNIGHT who is still in the real world." Mona sighed and said, "Let's explore this hall further. We can't miss even a crack in the wall!"

……

The Velvet Room - Prison

"Hehehe, humans, you never fail to surprise me. Let me see what you can do."

"But who is that human who escaped my surveillance?"

……

"Thank you so much for coming here on motorcycles to go shopping! The mobility can save us a lot of time." Wearing a helmet, he hugged Mordred's waist tightly and turned his head to thank Yukinoshita Yukino who was also hugging his waist tightly behind him.

"What did you say?" Because the car was going too fast, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't hear what the person in front of her was shouting, so she leaned her head forward in confusion.

But still can't hear it.

The speedometer has reached the end, but the motorcyclist can still react quickly and safely avoid obstacles on the road.

With such driving skills, Yukino Yukinoshita felt that if Mordred participated in the motorcycle championship, he would definitely win first place.

As for why an ancient man who lived more than a thousand years ago could ride a motorcycle... Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to delve into it.

After all, the world is weird enough.

The car began to slow down and stopped at a rather old alley.

At this time, Xin Tiao Qian was standing at the entrance of the alley, sticking her head out and looking both ways.

When she saw the armored 'weirdo' coming on a motorcycle, her face changed and she immediately retracted her head.

"Shinjo! It's me!" Taiyi shouted quickly.

Three seconds later, Xin Tiao Qian ran back with half of her body exposed, as if she would run away again immediately if she saw that the situation was not good.

"Naruto-kun?"

Taichi took off his helmet, revealing his face.

Shinjo Akane finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the alley.

“Is a monster appearing?” ×2.

Taichi and Akane Shinjo asked each other almost at the same time.

“You don’t know either.”×2.

Again in unison.

Taiyi pressed his brows helplessly.

"Yukki, Yukinoshita Yukino!" When Akane Shinjo was about to exchange information with Taichi, she saw Yukinoshita Yukino who had just taken off her helmet behind Taichi, and a dazed look immediately appeared on her face.

Although she had met Takemiya Miao and had seen Amamiya Ren from afar, she had never played this game much, so it didn't touch her nerves much.

But Yukinoshita Yukino is different.

After all, the light novels and anime were popular for quite a while back then, and she had been exposed to them a lot. So when she saw Yukinoshita Yukino in real life, it more or less made her feel a little more realistic that she had traveled through time herself.

"Nice to meet you." Yukinoshita Yukino, suppressing her stomach discomfort, staggered off her motorcycle and said hello to Akane Shinjo.

"The situation is urgent now." Taiyi's words almost caused Shinjo Akane to have a cardiac arrest.

The last person who said this, Ao, bluntly said he wanted to kill Astra.

Although it was finally discovered that the disaster was a misunderstanding and the culprit was not Astra.

"The entire Shibuya is surrounded by a barrier, and the living creatures lost their bodies in the thick fog. After their souls emerged, they were sealed in cubes of unknown origin. Then, a group of strange-looking monsters occupied the streets. Shinjo, do these phenomena match the monsters recorded in your knowledge base?"

"For now, no." Akane Shinjo withdrew her gaze from Yukinoshita Yukino, shook her head and replied, "But it is also possible that the monsters I have seen have not updated this one."

"It is also possible that the cause of this disaster was not a monster, but some other 'unconfirmed existence' in this world."

"Have you made any other discoveries?" Xin Tiao Qian looked at Taiyi and asked.

"At present, the Impression Space Hall has been 'denied access'." Taiyi replied, "I speculate that even if this disaster was not caused by the Impression Space, it is probably related to it in some way."

"Besides that, there is nothing else."

"What about that one? Didn't he find anything either?" Akane Shinjo asked meaningfully after glancing at Yukinoshita Yukino.

"The energy system is different. Now he is monitoring the cameras in all areas of the barrier, using computing power to analyze this energy system, and he also has to distract himself to assist me. But even so, we still haven't found any trace of the murderer behind the scenes." Taiyi felt that Axel was too busy.

"As expected..." Xin Tiao Qian suppressed her emotions and looked around, "So what should we do next?"

What can she do as she is a powerless, quasi-ordinary female college student who has experienced some fantastic things?

We can only wait for the bigger one to come and take care of it.

"Go to those areas without surveillance cameras and beyond the surveillance range to scratch the map." Taiyi felt that in the absence of clues, he could only use a stupid method and scratch the map of the invisible area step by step.

Chapter 39: The Enemy Appears in an Unexpected Place

Split up.

Taiyi never expected that a plan like this, which would be purely suicidal in some plots, would come out of his own mouth one day.

But now there is absolutely no other solution.

After all, although the area of Shibuya looks small on the map, it is hard to say how long it would take to conduct a detailed search.

Although acting separately is more dangerous, it can save golden time.

The soul and the body are separated, and the body is missing. Perhaps this problem can be solved by finding the murderer behind the scenes.

But if it takes too long and causes those people's bodies to die completely... then Taiyi will be defeated in this battle with the murderer.

The price of the defeat was the death of hundreds of thousands of people.

As for transforming into X, he could just use Ultraman's ability to search... maybe a related skill could be pulled out from X's skill list, but he was afraid that Ultraman's appearance would make the murderer despair, and he would choose to drag tens of thousands of people to be buried with him in self-abandonment.

Therefore, unless the murderer is found and a method is obtained to recover the bodies of those who disappeared, Taichi will never be able to transform into X.

"Mordred, Yukinoshita's safety is in your hands." Taiyi looked at Mordred and Yukinoshita Yukino sitting on the motorcycle and reminded, "No matter what happens, Yukinoshita's safety must be the top priority."

Yukinoshita Yukino is a smart person with good observation skills, so maybe she can discover something.

So in the combination of Mordred and Yukinoshita Yukino, her mind is crucial.

"Leave it to me! I haven't communicated with Ai, cough, cough... for nothing these past few days!" He almost said Aix's name, but fortunately he changed his words in time. Mordred patted his chest armor and promised, "I will never take risks and put Yukinoshita in danger!"

"On the contrary, you guys...be careful." Mordred warned with some concern.

Although Taichi was wearing her gauntlets on his hands, this kid wasn't strong enough. He could fight those minions one-on-one or one-on-two, but it would be bad if there were too many people.

What's more, he was accompanied by the powerless Xin Tiao Qian.

The only trump card of this duo is X's Ultra Telekinesis.

But X has used his Ultraman Telekinesis enough times in the past two days. If he doesn't speak, no one will know whether he is just holding on or not.

"Our goal is to find clues, not to fight those weirdos." Taichi twitched his lips and replied, "Shinjo and I will act in secret."

For this purpose, Taiyi didn't even use Takemiya's motorcycle.

Instead, he temporarily "borrowed" an unlocked bicycle on the roadside.

"A bicycle with someone on the road! This is a long-lost feeling of guilt!" Xin Tiao Qian swayed left and right on the back seat in a somewhat dishonest manner.

"I'm wearing hand armor, so it's hard to brake. You'd better sit in the back and be quiet." Taiyi reminded, "Also, try to keep your voice down. I don't want those weirdos to hear your voice and come chasing after you."

“Dudulu——”

"What? Is there a cartoon about Stone Gate in this world?" Taiyi asked, turning his head with some surprise.

"I'm not sure. Doctor Takemi doesn't have a computer at home. There's only one in the consultation room on the first floor." Shinjo Akane shook her head and explained, "I was revisiting the stone door before I came here, so I just made a noise unconsciously."

"But, Naruto, do we have to check every place like this?" Seeing Taichi park the car next to the wall on the side of the road, Shinjo Akane asked after getting out of the back seat, "It seems like we won't be able to finish the investigation even if we continue like this for a month or two."

"We'll do it in a biased way," Taiyi explained. "We won't check every place. For example, an open area can be checked at a glance, so we don't need to go in. There's nothing unusual in an apartment building, so we'll just give it a quick scan."

"The areas that need to be investigated specifically are underground waterways, places with a bad atmosphere, abandoned buildings, shrines, temples, and other places related to the supernatural. These areas need to be investigated in detail."

"It's because we don't have enough manpower, otherwise I would really like to peel off the wall and check it bit by bit." Taiyi glanced around a few times, and confirmed with Aix whether there were any abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding energy, then he got on his bicycle again and took Xin Tiao Qian away.

"Can we find a way to control those weirdos?" Akane Shinjo looked carefully at the weirdo with an umbrella and the headless student passing by the street corner, then leaned forward and whispered in Taiyi's ear.

Taiyi shuddered violently and the handlebars almost tilted.

"If X succeeds in analyzing the new energy system, maybe there will be a chance."

"Also, I'm in control of the handlebars now, please sit tight."

The warm and soft feeling disappeared from my back in an instant.

"Ah, could it be that, Naruto-kun, you are still a virgin?" Akane Shinjo poked Taichi's back with her finger and asked in a joking tone.

"Is there any problem?" Taiyi asked back.

The tone was very steady.

After all, in the country where he lived in his previous life, there was no trend of being laughed at for being virgins at an advanced age.

At most, they would just joke with each other using jokes like "If you still remain a virgin at the age of 30, you can become a great magician."

"...Nothing." Seeing that Taiyi was not panicked at all, Shinjo Akane felt bored instead and simply skipped the topic.

"Come to think of it, it's been so long since the incident happened, is there no movement from the outside world at all?" Xin Tiao Qian changed the subject and returned to the reality.

"Well, after all, this is the political norm here. Isn't it normal to procrastinate and shirk responsibility first?"

"However, even if they want to do something, they probably can't do it." Taichi looked up at the Tokyo Tower in the distance, "After all, there is a barrier with unknown function."

[“Taiyi! I’ve found something!” Axe suddenly shouted excitedly, “In Shibuya Central Hospital! A man wearing a Hannya mask just entered! I’m tracking him now!”]

"Shibuya Central Hospital! Mordred! Did you hear that? Take Yukinoshita there first! I'll go to support you right away!" Taichi told her through the implicit connection with Mordred.

"Ah... here we are... almost there..."

The contact was successful, but he didn't know if it was because of the barrier or because of Taiyi and Taila, but he heard less content.

"Shibuya Central Hospital? Did Aix discover something?" Akane Shinjo asked, hugging Taichi's waist to steady herself.

"A man wearing a Hannya mask has gone in! X is now tracking his whereabouts." Taichi replied, "Shinjo, you have to try your best to maintain your shape from now on, I'm going to speed up!"

Chapter 40: Mordred: Plans cannot keep up with changes

"Damn you! Is it you who caused Shibuya to become like this?!"

Mordred has already met the Hannya-masked man who invaded Shibuya Central Hospital as mentioned by X.

In the corridor on the fourth floor.

At that time, the Prajna masked man was about to walk out of a ward with two of his subordinates, and he happened to bump into him.

At Mordred's feet, the two subordinates who were also wearing masks fell down.

Although he felt the chop, Mordred felt that the sensation was not like chopping a living person.

"What a strange existence." The masked man looked at Mordred and the girl she protected behind him. "First, there is a spirit body that has been given a physical form by the barrier and the breath of the underworld. Then there is a living person who has clearly touched the 'border' but is still alive and kicking."

"Living person..." Yukinoshita Yukino almost couldn't breathe when she heard this name.

The meaning of the word made her feel terrified, and the despair that had just subsided not long ago surged into her heart again.

"What do you mean?" Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was trembling, but she was still holding on, shouting at a hoarse voice, "Sister, what have you done to those people who have lost their bodies!"

"...Huh? Do you even need to ask that?" Prajna answered as a matter of course, "Of course, they are all dead."

"Well, although they died in the sense of human ethics, they were freed from the shackles of the flesh. I believe that they will no longer have to endure all the sufferings of the world and will be able to usher in true happiness. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Who are you to decide the happiness of others without authorization? Bastard!" Mordred's eyes were filled with anger.

"Tell me!" Yukinoshita Yukino held back her tears and waited for the masked man, "How can I get my sister back, and the bodies of those whose bodies were wiped out by the mist!"
