Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"Yes, I believe it."

Although it was a bit of a coincidence, Yukinoshita Haruno really didn't seem like the kind of idiot who would do something so stupid.

Jolyne stood up and said, "Then let's go. Now we have a reason."

Chapter 402 The Evil King’s True Eye

Time goes back to a while ago.

Miko Yotsuya recently discovered someone with the ability to see ghosts, whose situation is somewhat similar to her own.

Yuria Nimurodo!

Her light green side ponytail and pink hair ends look quite cute, but her classmate is a legally cute little girl who looks like an elementary school student.

Unlike Yotsuya Miko's ability to see spirits, Nibutō Yuria's ability to see spirits can only see harmless evil spirits; she cannot see powerful evil spirits, and therefore she has never encountered any danger since childhood.

However, Yuria Nimuro was completely unaware of the danger posed by the evil spirits, instead somewhat childishly regarding it as a talent that set her apart from others.

My idol is the fortune teller I met before, and my interest is to become a powerful psychic like her!

Her ability to see ghosts and her chuunibyou (delusional) personality inevitably led to Yuria Nibutō being isolated.

Hmm... When Yuria Nigakudo was eating her lunch in the bathroom, she noticed that Miko Yotsuya had deliberately avoided the bathroom where evil spirits were said to exist. That's when she suddenly realized that Miko Yotsuya, like her, had the ability to see ghosts.

Nowadays.

Yotsuya Miko, Yurikawa Hana, and Nibutō Yuria were standing in front of an underground bar.

They came here because Yulia Nibutō said she had discovered a secret gathering of psychics.

Thinking about the strange things she had seen at the Deer God Shrine these past few days, such as... the shrine maiden talking to the deer that suddenly appeared, and the evil spirits near the shrine mysteriously disappearing in large numbers, after hesitating for a while, she decided to accompany Yuria Nigakudo to a secret gathering to see what these so-called psychics were like.

"Nothing should happen, right?"

Yotsuya Miko thought to herself.

Because she cannot turn off her ability to see ghosts, she encounters a large number of twisted and terrifying evil spirits at any time. Even now, she still keeps a pair of panties in her bag to change in case she gets scared and wets herself in an unexpected situation.

She needed a solution, but didn't know how to bring it up with the shrine maidens at the Deer God Shrine.

After all, I've only been working part-time for a few days...

Just then, as the footsteps drew closer at lightning speed, a childish voice rang out behind them!

"Godmother of the Lower City, you have indeed appeared here as invited by the Evil King's True Eye!"

Yuria Nibutō blushed, raised her hand to her mouth and coughed, instantly transforming her dazed aura into a slightly less immature chuunibyou, "I haven't passed the godmother's test yet, so it's a bit too early to use this title now."

"Evil King's True Eye, I will use all my spiritual power to investigate the secret gathering you mentioned!"

"Although the Evil King's True Eye is the strongest, with the Godmother around, I can indeed unleash the sealed dark power within it without any reservations."

Rikka Takanashi approached the three, and upon recognizing Miko Yotsuya and Hana Yurikawa, she used her fingers to cover half of her eyes with her bangs, exaggerating in an "Amadhiras" pose, and said, "Are you the Godmother's companions? I sense a dark power within you that is slightly inferior to mine!"

"Forehead……"

Yotsuya's expression remained unchanged.

The girl in front of him was as petite as Yuria Nibutō, with an eyepatch over her right eye and a strange bandage on her left hand, dressed in a typical chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) style.

Most importantly, Yotsuya Miko saw that this self-proclaimed Evil King's True Eye was covered with a lot of powerful evil spirits that had been wandering around and attracting from who-knows-where!

Yuria Nibutō's psychic eyes can't see, but she can see very clearly!

You're clearly not a psychic, but some kind of delusional chuunibyou!

How come Yuria Nibutō didn't notice?

So the secret gathering was fake; it was actually a get-together for people with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Although it was a bit of a disappointment, the fact that she no longer had to worry about encountering danger still relieved Yotsuya Miko.

"Is she suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?"

Although it was a question, Yurikawa Hana used an affirmative tone, looking at Takanashi Rikka, who was making strange movements in front of her, with great interest.

The four people are in different states.

Miko Yotsuya only knows about evil spirits, Yuria Nigakudo only knows about the harmless evil spirits she can see, Hana Yurikawa has a special constitution and doesn't understand these supernatural things, while Rikka Takanashi is just a pure chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer.

"No! I am the messenger of the Evil King's True Eye, the one whose right eye seals the ultimate darkness!"

Rikka Takanashi watched the two of them.

After thinking for a while, Yotsuya Miko realized that she was being asked to state her "honorable name." "Um, Yotsuya Miko, are you able to observe the yin-yang eyes of demons and ghosts?"

Yurikawa Hana also pondered: "Yurikawa Hana, the abyss demon who bears the sin of gluttony."

"The ability to see ghosts and demons? It sounds like a power that belongs to my side."

Yuria Nibutō, whose level of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was relatively low, helped introduce, "Rikka Takanashi is a junior student at our school."

"So she's not just a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? Didn't you say you were bringing us to meet a psychic?"

Yotsuya Miko secretly asked while taking out her phone.

"Hmm? I've taken a closer look and confirmed that Rikka isn't just a typical chuunibyou!"

Yulia Nibutō spoke with absolute certainty.

Yotsuya Miko: "..."

What should she say?

I have a feeling that Yuria Nimurodo must have misunderstood something about this chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) person.

With a sigh, Yotsuya Miko didn't say anything more about "this is obviously chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for adolescent delusions of grandeur). Since she was already here, she might as well take a look at what was going on inside.

Thinking this, Rikka Takanashi took out the information she had found about the secret gathering from her bag.

"At Lao Zhangzi Bar, you can enter the legendary secret gathering by ordering a South Wales milk beer from the bartender between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. today."

Yotsuya Miko tentatively asked, "Putting aside that South Wales milk beer, why do you believe that this old Zhang Yimou bar has a secret party?"

The four looked to both sides of the road and saw that even at noon, there were many girls dressed in revealing JK uniforms and wearing heavy makeup, playing on their phones in the shade while wearing masks. Their chuunibyou-esque remarks attracted a lot of attention. There was no big-eater Hou Mo at this Zhang Yimou bar.

"The intelligence is definitely true."

Although they had just met, Rikka Takanashi still carefully took out a stack of newspapers from her bag.

She distributed the newspaper to a few people. "This is Chiba City's shopping newspaper. It publishes information about any events that happen in major shopping malls and stores. I noticed that every two weeks, a seemingly common bar coupon is published in the corner of this newspaper."

The reason it seems common is because the coupons only cover one type of drink each time, the newspaper layout varies, and sometimes the bi-weekly pattern suddenly stops. I deduced the secret code for ordering a South Wales milk beer at Zhang Yimou's bar around 11-12 AM by reading these strange newspapers.

Yotsuya Miko: "..."

Now that the club is gone, she feels that this is just a fantasy of Takanashi Rikka as a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, and there are really not that many strange things!

They eventually went inside and stood before the expressionless bartender. Takanashi Rikka and Nigurodo Yuria tapped the table, trying to appear calm.

"Give us four glasses of South Wales milk beer."

"Forty thousand yen."

"So expensive???"

Yotsuya Miko was a little startled, then the bartender gave her a strange look before taking out four masks from backstage. "These are the ticket prices."

Chapter 403 Kowloon Society

"So there really are secret gatherings?"

Yotsuya Miko was a little taken aback and didn't know what to say. After paying the entrance fee with the three of them, she received a mask with the Red Demon painted on it.

Donning the red demon masks, the four were unaware of where they had accidentally wandered into. The bartender pocketed the 40,000 yen and casually opened the side door for them, which was not hidden at all.

"Four players, I hope you can purchase what you seek at the upcoming trade fair."

He straightened his tie and smiled, "Please."

"As the messenger of the Evil King's True Eye, weak power is not worthy of my attention. I hope to obtain a powerful artifact that can control the power of darkness."

Rikka Takanashi walked ahead, meeting the gazes of everyone inside.

There was no dim lighting; the room felt like a literary salon. The warm yellow decor, paired with harmoniously arranged sofas, and young women in sailor uniforms freely displayed their youthful energy by their thighs, kneeling and sitting in various places like lotus flowers on the water.

In the distance, there was a fighting arena where two burly men were performing the Snake Hands move.

The people they were serving were sitting on the sofa in various poses, dressed in strange clothes, but all wearing the same red demon mask.

Now most of them are looking over.

The four of them resembled huskies that had infiltrated a wolf pack.

The only disguise the four of them was their masks; otherwise, they were dressed in ordinary clothes.

It's not that the pretty little dress is unwearable, but rather that the temperament doesn't suit a player; it's more like the girls kneeling on the ground serving players.

The door slowly closed, and Yotsuya Miko's heart skipped a beat. Only then did she notice that the bartender's rose-red hair was moving like flames even without wind.

Something's not right, something's not right!

This is clearly not a hobby club!

It was probably a gathering of gang leaders dividing up territory!

Fortunately, the evil spirits she saw every day had given Yotsuya Miko a strong heart, and her expression didn't betray her displeasure. She looked at the other three and realized that they hadn't yet realized that something was clearly wrong with this place.

Yulia, what are you looking at?! Why are you already researching who the psionicists are?

Xiao Hua, don't go watch Snake in the Eagle's Shadow! This isn't a performance you can see for 10,000 yen!

And you, Rikka Takanashi!

"I am the messenger of the Evil King's True Eye, the one bound by contract who seals the power of darkness!"

Rikka Takanashi's chuunibyou-esque posture caused these people to quickly avert their gazes.

They posed no threat whatsoever, spoke strange words, and wore ordinary clothes, looking just like any other passerby!

That's right!

This is the style of the strong!

The biggest taboo in the trade fair is using methods to investigate other people's identities, to the point that these players had no idea that these four people were not players at all.

The four of them found a sofa and sat down. Immediately, a girl came over and brought them a fruit platter. Yuri Kawana was happily fed unfamiliar fruits.

"Yulia and Takanashi, please be quiet and stop talking nonsense."

As Yotsuya Miko was sending a message on her phone, thinking about how to tell them the truth and how the four of them could leave safely, a figure suddenly appeared in the center.

The girl in the sailor uniform stood up and stepped back, and the serpentine hand no longer controlled the body.

Everyone sat up straight silently, facing the elderly man.

"According to the rules."

Kowloon will take 40% of the proceeds from this trade fair.

The trade fair will continue, and participants will only be allowed to leave in batches after the trade concludes. I will be responsible for appraising the value of the traded items.

It seemed to be just a formality, and no one objected. When the old man said, "The trade can begin," the players returned to their previous state.

Everyone observed each other. A thin figure took out several bottles of strangely colored potions and said in a high-pitched voice after changing his tone, "Enhanced Mummy Vitality Potion, a magic potion made from real, additive-free mummies. Even if you are infertile, you can still have many children after using it."

"...That was such a vulgar insult."

Yuria Nibutō has some flaws.

The old man held it in his hand, expressionlessly tapped it with a hammer, and said, "It really works."

Seeing this, Rikka Takanashi reached out to swipe the bottle of mummy potion.

Unaware of the extraordinary power, she and Yurikawa Hana still thought this was some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) gathering, completely immersed in their own chuunibyou world.

Yotsuya Miko quickly pulled her hand back, wanting to continue sending messages on her phone, but found that her phone screen was black and she couldn't use it at all.

The blond man next to him said, "Is this your first time here? Once the trade fair begins, this room will be separated from the space, and all means of communication within will be cut off."
