Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"In fact, I have already tried it."

The white-bearded old man said strangely, "The machines in the workshop did not predict his identity."

"Didn't predict it? Could it be that his ascension to S-class is a counter-prophecy? I remember there are already two S-class users with this kind of ability, which should have been rejected by Paradise."

The mentor didn't think much of it; he simply planned to make a prediction himself.

Although he was not good at it, and even disliked the power of prophecy, he was still of a high enough caliber to reach the level of a sage through his own status.

Just as the mentor was about to take action after plucking a hair from a student's beard, he suddenly sensed something.

"This is……"

He tapped on his amusement park bracelet, which displayed several messages sent by the amusement park.

[Your nickname is already taken]

[Your nickname has been changed]

"???"

Player nicknames are unique. There is only one possibility that a player's nickname has been forcibly replaced: a new S-rank player has taken away their nickname.

"Where did you come from, some country bumpkin?"

Given his reputation, if this newcomer had a powerful background, he certainly wouldn't have been so offensive.

That means they don't know who the powerful guys are.

After making a preliminary assessment of the newcomer's identity, the mentor not only didn't care about the trivial matter of him taking his nickname, but even planned to find him and bring him into his workshop as a researcher.

Thinking this, the mentor opened his player panel, intending to check his changed nickname.

[Supreme Evolution - Curly-haired Baboon - lv? ?]

Curly-haired baboon: "..."

More importantly, his student saw the player panel he had just opened.

Richard, on the other hand, is a big mouth.

"Mentor, I won't tell anyone."

The white-bearded old man solemnly assured him.

Curly-haired baboon: "..."

After a while, the mentor, who had changed his name to Curly-haired Baboon, took a deep breath and forcibly controlled his murderous intent.

"If you dare to tell anyone, Hengyu Workshop will expel you from the business."

The mentor gave a serious warning.

"How could I possibly tell anyone?"

The white-bearded old man looked puzzled; he didn't think he would reveal such a shameful thing.

After standing there for a while, noticing the awkward atmosphere, the white-bearded old man decided to leave. The moment he turned around, a strong sense of impending death made his back muscles tremble.

Looking at the back of his disciple's head, the mentor sighed and looked away.

"Curly-haired baboon...what a surprise..."

The mentor looked at his wrist, where there was a watch made of green and black.

The design on the watch is an hourglass...

-

Ming dynasty.

"Hey, Zhang Fu, what are you still doing here?"

A girl's voice sounded.

"I'm looking for Mr. Liu. I want to ask him if he can stay out tonight."

As Zhang Fu spoke, his eyes darted around the house.

He was puzzled because Mr. Liu had disappeared.

After searching around for a while, Zhang Fu still couldn't find the teacher.

But there's nowhere else to go nearby, and Mr. Liu usually stays here all the time. Where else could he go if he disappeared?

"Could it be that he fell into the mountains?"

Zhang Fu suddenly had an idea.

After thinking about it, it is indeed possible.

He was about to search the nearby cliffs when a shadowy figure appeared behind him without him noticing.

Humanoid, bright red, with two feet floating in the air, its paper-cut-like sharp exterior reveals a muscular human aesthetic.

It stood right in front of Zhang Fu, but he walked right past it as if he couldn't see it.

At that moment, the figure moved.

It floated behind Zhang Fu, smeared the hair on the back of his head to create a computer interface, and then inserted a red USB drive into it.

The next moment, Zhang Fu's eyes changed.

His eyes, which had become as calm as Liu Fu's, carried a terrifying, irresistible light.

"The previous person is dead?"

"Truly incompetent."

"Wait a minute, what's with this carrier?"

"Please, even if it's hard to find someone with natural talent, you should at least find me a normal person. This body is only a few years old. What if I can't even pass the initial trial when you rush me to take over?"

Zhang Fu was communicating with his stand-in behind him, but the girl next to him sensed something was wrong.

He asked, "Zhang Fu, weren't you going to find your teacher?"

"Mr. Liu has already left."

After giving a brief answer, Zhang Fu headed back the way he came.

"Wait a minute, explain yourself!"

What do you mean by "leaving"?

"Zhang Fu!"

The girl's voice did not elicit a response, and Zhang Fu, who had turned his back, grew increasingly gloomy.

"This is troublesome. Can I kill her?"

"Is this a rare carrier?"

"That's the vessel that the previous person collected. I can just kill myself and collect it again."

Upon arriving at Liu Fu's room, Zhang Fu, guided by his double, began rummaging through a cabinet and took out a black invitation.

"Paradise, tsk."

Zhang Fu disappeared.

The stunt double remained in place for a while before making any further movements.

It walked to the corner of the wall, where there was a faded, upside-down "福" (fortune) character left over from last year.

The stand-in reached out to the character "福" (fortune/blessing), and with a twist, appeared in a rented room.

The room was small, and the only items inside were a worn-out desktop computer and a computer desk.

The stand-in sat at the computer desk, his large red eyes monitoring the screen.

And on the screen, there is a huge mountain.

Chapter 302 Returning to Chiba

When Jolyne went to the Fate world, she was sitting on the sofa in her apartment. Now that she has left Paradise, she has naturally appeared here.

Then Jolyne saw that Medea, Esdeath, Lily, and Medusa, whom he had sent into the workshop, had come out of the workshop and were sitting on one side of the living room, with Saeko Busujima, Jorogumo, Shizuka Marikawa, and Mitsuri Kanroji sitting on the other side, creating a kind of Chu-Han divide.

And the place where he appeared was exactly the dividing point between the two groups of people.

Hmm... the atmosphere is a bit quiet.

Now, all their eyes are on him.

"What are the results at the root of the problem?"

When faced with difficulties, Jolyne chose to take the initiative and nip potential death in the bud by focusing on serious matters. She believed that a few more words would be enough to ease the tension.

Medea smiled and replied, "It's not bad. We've accomplished everything we planned, except for one unexpected thing."

"Accident?"

Jolyne countered with a question.

He was just starting the conversation; logically speaking, this matter had been fully prepared, and there shouldn't have been any unexpected events.

With a sense of doubt, Jolyne saw Medea take out a Saber from the Yinluo Spirit Palace?

Saber?

Isn't Saber sitting on the ground right now talking to those ghosts?

"Wait, isn't this Joan of Arc?"

Saber's face, silver hair.

Not only is this Joan of Arc black, but this is also a dark Joan of Arc.

“We had just finished everything and were about to leave the Root when this guy emerged from the Holy Grail and used the power of the Root to separate himself from it.”

At this point, Medea said with some surprise, "But she hasn't woken up yet because of some accident."

Not only did he not wake up, but the way Medea had thrown him on the ground was also quite awkward.

"It doesn't matter, it's just Joan of Arc."

As soon as Jolyne finished speaking, she noticed that Medea had another strange expression on her face, as if she didn't know what to say.

"...There aren't any more, are there?"

"Hmm... Master, do you remember the two souls that Archer asked us to take away?"

"Ilya and Irisviel?"

Medea glanced at Saeko Busujima, then got up and walked to Jolyne's side, handing her the Yinluo Spirit Palace, saying, "Master, take a look for yourself."

"Is this a ghost story?"

Jolyne was a little surprised.

Sensing the interior of the Yinluo Spirit Mansion, Ilya and Irisviel inside had surprisingly regained their vitality.

However, instead of coming back to life, their life forms became a kind of supernatural phenomenon.

The Yinluo Spirit Mansion has always had a function that has a chance to cause the absorbed souls to transform into strange tales.

But previously, Jolyne had only absorbed the souls of seafood, and she had never seen this function work. Now that she has absorbed the souls of all the humans in Fuyuki City, it seems that many strange tales will be born from it.

"Now I can really become a Ghost-type Pokémon Master."

Jolyne sighed. He entrusted the Yinluo Spirit Palace to Medea again. Ilya and Irisviel's transformation was not yet complete. Medea's magical skills could better protect them and prevent any accidents.

More importantly, Jolyne doesn't really care about these ghost stories. Even if she successfully transforms, unless she awakens some extremely rare power, she will be treated like a pet, just like Sadako.

However... the Non-Human Girl Mutual Aid Manual can now add some new members.

Ghost stories can provide attributes.

The atmosphere eased a little, and Jolyne began to check on their condition.

Saeko Busujima, Shizuka Marikawa, Jorogumo, and Mitsuri Kanroji are actually doing alright, because Jolyne has already talked to them about this, and their personalities mean they won't directly object to it.

The real problem lies with the Heroic Spirits, or more specifically with Esdeath and Medea.
