Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Nobuyuki Sugo showed no remorse. If he was so submissive in the main world, and still so submissive in Paradise, then what kind of player was he?

Why haven't they found it yet?

Just as he uttered his question, the tall building suddenly began to shake. Sugo Nobuyuki instinctively thought it was an earthquake and was about to cover his head and crawl under the bed when a terrifying explosion followed, shattering right next to Sugo Nobuyuki's ears.

Everyone in the room was somewhat flustered, and Nobuyuki Sugo's expression was also very unpleasant.

"Is revenge never delayed even overnight?"

Nobuyuki Sugo picked up his phone and looked at the hotel's security camera. The slightly poor image quality showed two men walking in with shotguns. Most of the gangsters he had hired were already lying on the ground, while the rest were huddled to one side with their heads in their hands.

His heart pounded as he watched the leader flirt with the pretty hotel receptionist and whisper something to her.

The next moment, the landline in Nobuyuki Sugo's room rang.

Nobuyuki Sugo watched everything warily, then waved for his bodyguard to go and get him.

A bodyguard stepped forward, answered the phone, and pressed the speakerphone button. The sweet voice of the hotel receptionist came through the room.

"Moshi moshi, good evening, is this Mr. Gariasta?"

The receptionist waited politely for a while, and when no one answered, she continued.

“Mr. Gariasta, there’s been a little trouble at the hotel. A group of people…” The receptionist glanced at Jolyne, who was sitting in a swivel chair beside her, and continued, following his self-introduction, “…um…terrorists claiming to be US military personnel stationed in Japan have taken over this place. They’re inviting you down, hoping to use you, uh…to control Middle Eastern oil…”

"Control the oil in the Middle East?" Nobuyuki Sugo, who was listening nearby, almost laughed out of anger.

"By the way, a high-yield C4 bomb is ready. If Mr. Gariasta is unwilling to come down, they will simply blow up the Hyatt Hotel and give you an unpleasant night."

"This is what the terrorist next to me asked me to tell you."

"Finally, Mr. Gariasta, I wish you a pleasant evening."

The receptionist presented the phone to Jolyne with both hands and winked at her.

Xu Lun took the phone, her voice, hidden behind her mask, tinged with amusement, and said to her, "Miss Dong Sheng, your mission to deliver the message is complete. You can leave now. Have a pleasant evening."

After confirming that she could leave, the receptionist, who called herself Miss Dongsheng, got up and walked out, glancing back at Xu Lun every now and then, as if afraid that something like "pulling the trigger on a girl who is allowed to leave" would happen.

As she walked to the door, Miss Dong Sheng, seeing that she hadn't been shot, turned back to her own thoughts and, under Yukino Yukinoshita's strange gaze, took out a marker from the cabinet.

"Mr. Terrorist, could you sign your name for me?" Kneeling in front of Jolyne, Miss Dong Sheng held a marker, thrusting out her ample bosom to indicate where she wanted her name signed.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "...Are you out of your mind?"

Saber in her spirit form: "Master, it's wrong to swear."

Jolyne casually signed Iron Man's name on her phone, politely declined the kiss, and spoke into the other end of the line.

“Mr. Gariasta, you didn’t manage to kill my friend either, did you?”

"Because we were being chased by someone, my friends and I weren't confident of winning."

"As the saying goes, 'There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.' We hope to form an alliance with you to face certain enemies together."

"My sincerity lies in not directly blowing up the hotel and killing you..."

Ordinary people would just hear such things.

It's like if someone suddenly shouts "Spicy Tiansen" on the street, you won't run away, but instead go to see if that person's cosplay is accurate. As long as ordinary people don't truly realize their extraordinary abilities, Rule 6 won't be triggered.

As Jolyne watched the footage on the monitor, her calm voice came through the phone into the room.

As the last sentence fell, the phone rang with a disconnection notification. Nobuyuki Sugo frowned; given his current situation, he was somewhat tempted by the so-called alliance.

Chapter 158 Summoning is imminent

Atram Gariasta's status is merely that he's rich; he's not at the level where he can make newly hired gangsters kowtow and serve him without hesitation.

Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita, controlling their superior five-dimensional attributes, demonstrated the level of a modern-day elite soldier to them while wielding their firearms.

The gunfight scared away most of the gangsters, and Jolyne gave them a demonstration of an explosion—the same explosion that Sugo Nobuyuki heard.

A few minutes later, they performed their traditional skills, humiliating their superiors and humiliating their subordinates.

After all, playing a gunfight is one thing, but becoming a mercenary on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield comes at a different price.

Then Jolyne hooked up with the receptionist and made a phone call to the other player.

Watching Jolyne hang up the phone, Yukino Yukinoshita asked unhappily, "Can this kind of scam really succeed?"

"If he were a somewhat intelligent but not sufficiently normal person, he would succeed."

Jolyne didn't make any definitive statements, but instead added conditions to his success, after all, what if he lost his mind and jumped off a building to commit suicide?

The reason we wanted to trick him into coming down instead of attacking him directly was that Jolyne was afraid of accidentally killing the player.

After all, this deception wasn't entirely about fooling the player; Jolyne did want to form an alliance with him, but she had to do it in a different way.

……

Nobuyuki Sugo sat on the edge of the bed, and he did believe in Jolyne's talk of an alliance.

Just like Jolyne said, "My sincerity lies in not directly blowing up the hotel and killing you."

Blow up the Hyatt Hotel directly, and before he can react, deliver a fatal blow. Not to mention killing him outright, Sugo Nobuyuki is certain that in this situation, he won't have much power left to resist.

Hearing the man's calm voice, Nobuyuki Sugo's heart pounded violently. He didn't think he was the kind-hearted man who wouldn't do such a thing.

As for the alliance he mentioned, Nobuyuki Sugo opened the Paradise Bracelet and scrolled up to read the information.

[The world has now entered a high-level hunt.]

He naturally received the notification that a high-level player had entered this world to hunt down a certain player, which gave him some basis for trusting Jolyne's offer of an alliance.

Besides, why would the other party lie to him?

With two players and the summoned Heroic Spirits, how could he, a mere ordinary player with only two Command Seals left, possibly fight them head-on? When the opponents pulled out explosives to force back his ordinary player shield, Sugo Nobuyuki was already prepared to run away.

After all, the rules clearly state that one can only leave the field voluntarily if a Heroic Spirit is summoned and dies. Sugo Nobuyuki has not yet summoned a Heroic Spirit, so the only way to leave the field is by death. Otherwise, he would have gambled on whether kneeling down and begging for mercy would allow them to spare his life.

"To fight against high-level players, it seems quite possible to form an alliance with me. After all, the key to this game lies in the Heroic Spirits, and he needs me to live to provide the combat power of a Heroic Spirit."

"Maybe this is a good thing. After all, he wants my power and needs to find me a summoning item, which is exactly what I need to find myself."

"As for that woman with whom I have a blood feud, she doesn't seem to be in charge. She didn't actually kill anyone, so what does it matter in the face of greater interests?"

Believing he had figured everything out, Nobuyuki Sugo, accompanied by his bodyguards who were trying to appear calm, went downstairs to meet the player who wanted to form an alliance with him.

As I stepped off the elevator, the hotel lobby had been cleared of ordinary people, and police sirens were blaring outside.

Nobuyuki Sugo glanced at the two of them and then fixed his gaze on Jolyne, who was still playing on the swivel chair.

"You're the guy being chased, and you don't look like much."

Based on Nobuyuki Sugo's judgment, he felt that he was the one being needed, and spoke to Jolyne in a rather impolite tone.

This caused Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita to fall silent and start making subtle movements.

Jolyne: See, this is what some smart but not enough people look like.

Yukino Yukinoshita: Can't you just kill him already? The thought of almost being killed by someone like him is just too much to bear.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

"Nobuyuki Sugo said loudly."

Jolyne rose from her chair, her imposing presence causing Sugo Nobuyuki to immediately take a step back.

"You all get out."

Seeing that Sugo Nobuyuki still had two Command Seals left, Jolyne gave the order to the ordinary people behind him, and then fired to destroy all the security cameras near the hotel.

To meet the needs of the Holy Grail War, this Fuyuki City in 2004 had very little surveillance, and there were only two cameras in the hotel lobby.

These ordinary people, who had wanted to run away for a long time but were afraid of Jolyne and dared not move, immediately fled out of the door. Sugo Nobuyuki tried to call them back, but no one paid any attention to him.

Sensing the subtle atmosphere in the air, Sugo Nobuyuki realized something was wrong, but what he realized was that Jolyne's personality was not easy to control, rather than that Jolyne had no intention of forming an alliance with him at all.

"Big brother, as long as you don't kill me, the heroic spirits I summon are yours. Use them to fight the pursuers, just don't kill me..."

Nobuyuki Sugo flexibly lowered his bottom line; as long as he could live, he was willing to treat him as a mere vessel for a Heroic Spirit.

"This only applies to summoning a weak Heroic Spirit. If I were to summon a powerful one, all the humiliation I endure today would be for tomorrow's betrayal..."

Before he could finish his fantasy, Saber in her spirit form appeared behind Sugou Nobuyuki. With agility far exceeding his own, she delivered a chop to the back of his neck before he could react.

As a Heroic Spirit, Saber can transform into a spiritual state that is invisible to ordinary people.

From the start of the operation, Saber was in a stealthy state, and Jolyne's task for her was to reveal herself and stop any other Heroic Spirits.

If not, let the player whose identity is Atram Gariasta take a nap.

“I controlled the force well; he shouldn’t die anytime soon,” Saber said earnestly, looking at the fallen Sugou Nobuyuki.

"It doesn't matter. Once it's in my hands, I can make him die whenever I want."

Jolyne picked up Sugo Nobuyuki and found the necessary relic on him, like a treasure-giving boy, which indeed proved the effect of 5 points of luck.

Jolyne sent him to the workshop, where Jorogumo was in full control, able to completely control whether Sugo Nobuyuki was alive or dead.

"Xu Lunqing, those words sound like something a bad person would say."

“Saber, he was never a good person to begin with.”

Chapter 159 Medea

Having evaded the pursuit of the Fuyuki City police, Jolyne did not return directly to the Matou residence, but instead went to the Emiya residence with Yukino Yukinoshita.

According to Matou Sakura, Emiya Shirou is still in the hospital, and Fujimura Taiga has now become Yukino Yukinoshita. Presumably, no ordinary person will suddenly break into the Emiya residence. Jolyne is preparing to complete the summoning of the Heroic Spirit here.

"Miss Yukinoshita, please be careful of your surroundings later, something unexpected might happen," Jolyne reminded her.

Once a Heroic Spirit is summoned, his Luck stat will return to its normal 2 points.

The reason for staging a terrorist attack at the Hyatt Hotel is that even minor mistakes can be made up for by the luck brought by high fortune.

Once the luck stat returns to normal, many players will likely turn their attention to this attack.

"I understand. Saber and I will take responsibility."

Yukino led Saber outside, as it was better to leave the first summoned Servant to the Master.

Item - Documents recording Medea

Description: The betraying witch was once an innocent young girl.

Effect: Summon Servants related to this document who are willing to respond to you as a Sacred Relic.

Usage conditions: Only effective in worlds that have Valhalla.

Jolyne took out the relics—the documents that recorded Medea and the summoning tools—and attached them together.

There was no summoning incantation, only the Command Seal on the back of my hand burning hot, and a woman in a cloak appeared in the room.

The Caster (Magician) class has been released.

[You have summoned a Heroic Spirit; the temporary Luck boost has ended.]

"Welcome, Medea."

Jolyne said to her.

Medea stood quietly, sensing the connection between Master and Servant, and already knew that the man in front of her was the Master who had summoned her.

However, when she looked at the Command Seals on Jolyne's hand, her calm mood turned to surprise.

Medea removed her hood, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. Her blue hair flowed down her back, her lips were painted an unusual purple, and she had a pair of distinctive elf ears.

"Hmm... Master, this Holy Grail War seems a little different from what I imagined," Medea said calmly, looking at Jolyne.

As a powerful magus of the Age of Gods, she had already seen through most of the details when she accepted Valhalla's invitation, and a Holy Grail War was a simple matter for her. However, when she looked at the Command Seals on Jolyne's hand, she found that it was not the Holy Grail War she knew. The illogical parts of it made Medea extremely confused, and she felt a sense of insecurity that something was beyond her control.

“That’s right, this game is indeed quite different. For example, can you make Command Seals with your hands?”

Jolyne noticed Medea's gaze and proactively showed her the Command Seals on the back of her hand.

Medea observed carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can only understand the part of a normal Command Seal that provides magical power and controls the Servant. I don't know about the other two effects..."

“That’s enough. I have other tasks for you to complete later. For now,” Jolyne led her out of the room, “let’s go and meet our companions.”
