Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Bearing the power of desire, and having consumed a large amount of sea monster meat that night, as the saying goes, a full stomach makes one sleepy. The unprecedented satisfaction of her appetite caused Kanroji Mitsuri's lust to rise as well. Her originally pure grass-green eyes now revealed an eerie quality like Cai Yan's. She handed Goto Ichiri over to Ciri Alice and then went to the captain's cabin wearing an apricot-yellow yukata printed with peonies.

"Something might have happened."

Jolyne supported her flat brow, utterly puzzled as to where Kanroji Mitsuri had gone after eating so much sea monster meat. Her brow felt wonderful to the touch, like peach-flavored jelly with a fragrant aroma. Kanroji Mitsuri's body was already soft and boneless, and after gaining the power of the Desire Path, it became even more beautiful, like white clouds.

Should we call them over and ask?

Back when they were in the apartment, those ghost stories often wandered around. Kanroji Mitsuri's thin skin had already gotten used to the presence of the four ghost stories. Unless she was stared at by the human-faced dog, she could accept it. Just now, Kanroji Mitsuri was startled and thought that Goto Ichiri had come looking for her. The candlelight in the bathroom flickered and the showerhead seemed to be startled and added hot water to the bathtub.

Jolyne replied, "We'll talk about it later."

Kanroji Mitsuri nodded in agreement, and the water molecules continued to move irregularly.

According to the principle of entropy increase, the hot water in the bathtub will spontaneously dissipate heat into the surrounding air until the water temperature equals the room temperature. So as time went by, Kanroji Mitsuri had to turn on the shower and add hot water several times to keep the water flow at a suitable temperature. I really don't know how troublesome it was to take a bath in ancient times.

Time ticked by, and Hanako, who was waiting for news, was getting impatient.

Sensing that the human-faced dog was still in the captain's cabin, Jolyne was curious about what she wanted from him, so she kissed Kanroji Mitsuri's forehead through the towering peaks. She naturally knew what this meant, and her mind immediately recalled the bits and pieces that had just happened, making her eyelashes tremble with embarrassment.

She slowly rose and gathered her yukata, the last ripples of water breaking into golden dust. The peony pattern brushed past three inches above her navel, letting the sash fall to her waist. The lingering water glistened beneath her collarbone, washing over her porcelain-like skin and converging towards the hollow of her heart where the jade-like blouse rested. Kanroji Mitsuri placed her hands behind her back, waiting for Jolyne to come out with her.

"The ship's soundproofing has been improved, and we've never seen a human-faced dog before."

Jolyne asked curiously, and Mitsuri Kanroji cutely shook her head to indicate that it was different, "It's like knowing that there are no ghosts in the world, but you still subconsciously feel afraid when you get close to some dark places."

"A strange metaphor."

Holding Mitsuri Kanroji's hand, Jolyne pushed open the door and looked at the bulge on the bed. "After all, there really are evil spirits in the shadows of this world."

For example, this human-faced dog is just as ferocious as Shizuka Marikawa.

"Is he asleep?" Kanroji Mitsuri thought the human-faced dog had fallen asleep because it had been waiting too long. Her face, still flushed, flushed again. She quickly and casually walked to the window to enjoy the sea breeze and took a small sip of her drink to moisten her throat.

She has a constitution that makes her sweat easily, and during this hard farming season, she is even more tired than Mrs. Yukino, who has a special constitution, and needs to replenish her water. Moreover, Saeko Busujima is not here tonight, and Shizuka Marikawa is drunk and acting crazy in the bath. Mitsuri Kanroji is ready to continue her efforts after getting rid of the human-faced dog. It has to be said that the path of desire is indeed terrifying.

The human-faced dog was naturally awake, but she kept her eyes tightly shut and her ears pressed against her head. Even when she noticed her owner approaching, her fingers gripping the blanket tightly did not loosen at all.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Lun reached into the blankets, grabbed the human-faced dog by the waist, and pulled her out. He found that this idiot was completely naked, with only her large blue-purple tail covering half of her body. The tail was already swaying unconsciously, revealing a charm that resembled the description of the spider demon in the original Journey to the West.

"Master~" The human-faced dog opened its eyes, a rare blush appearing on its face.

"How could a heartless, human-faced dog make such an expression? Saeko Busujima isn't here tonight; she must have been instigated by Hanako and the others to come, right?"

Jolyne instantly guessed the answer, and had the dog-faced creature sit on her lap, asking, "Who sent you?"

Hmm... The Heavenly King is purely slandering him. How could he possibly be a tyrant?

My countryman will never wrong a good person!

"……Eh?"

The human-faced dog paused, because Hanako had repeatedly emphasized that she couldn't be exposed. The human-faced dog, who had never lied to its master before, suddenly turned its head away guiltily and made a slip of the tongue with a series of flaws, "It wasn't Hanako who taught me to come to see the master tonight."

"Oh, Hanako, it seems her training intensity has been a bit too low lately."

Jolyne scratched the wolf ears of the human-faced dog, while Hanako sneezed on the other side. Accomplices Mary and Sadako, however, inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. The three ghosts looked at each other, all confused, wondering whether the human-faced dog had succeeded after being gone for so long.

"!!!"

The human-faced dog was terrified, but before she could ask who had exposed Hanako, she was humming contentedly under Jolyne's skilled petting, and began to forget why she had been waiting there for so long.

Kanroji Mitsuri also joined in; who wouldn't love a kemonomimi (animal-eared girl)?

The human-faced dog has a good personality. Over the days the two girls have spent together, they have naturally become good friends with a somewhat strange relationship. The strange thing is that Kanroji Mitsuri treats the human-faced dog as a good friend, while the human-faced dog treats Kanroji Mitsuri as his mistress.

Goodnight, Master~

Forgetting her purpose for coming tonight, the human-faced dog was contentedly heading back to her room when she discovered that her master had said something to Kanroji Mitsuri, kissed her on the cheek, and then hugged her onto his lap and kissed her cheek more solemnly than usual.

"what happened?"

"You don't need to guard the gate tonight."

"Then who will guard it?"

"Jorogumo?"

Chapter 462 Their respective situations

Although people's circumstances are not the same, they are all on the road to the future.

Captain's cabin.

A slender waist and light makeup.

A thin garment weighing six zhu (a unit of weight) is susceptible to light frost.

Her rosy cheeks were hidden behind the mirror on the screen.

The stars hang by the hairpin, their light shining in the azure sky.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Jorogumo.

The ghost story series has finally welcomed a queen who can command all the ghosts by blood.

After all, in a kingdom made up of ghost stories, there wasn't a single high-ranking person who was a ghost story. As a result, many ghost stories had long been vying for this position, dreaming of becoming the vice-ruler of the ghost kingdom as soon as possible.

……

Night City.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Fei Ge and Xiao Fo's plan was more than half completed. Nakano Nino had the Penguin Mayor's ball invitation on her pillow. When the countdown to the Golden Age came to an end, she would appear on the most famous TV program in the night city to face the people and transform from an unknown village girl into a legend.

At that point, she had completed the second step of her journey.

Good morning, city that never sleeps.

Turning off the speech playing on the terminal, Nino Nakano walked to the window to greet the rising sun. She raised her hand, holding a glass of wine, and offered it to him. Then she turned around, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Goodnight, Jolyne."

……

Windmill Town.

The crimson moonlight fell upon the kagune, and the splattered blood shimmered ominously.

The shriveled corpses crumbled underfoot. The terminal outside the kingdom had never been so quiet. The faces of every corpse were filled with fear, even distorted by it.

The former bandit king, Sig, is now pierced through by an exaggerated black and red kagune, held high in the air dripping viscous blood. Through the large hole in his body, one can see the red moon in the sky. He struggles to call for the favor of the [Crimson Blood Lord] to be reborn, but the crimson moon has also left him, actively merging that trace of divinity into the more violent and murderous kagune.

With a tearing sound, Kato Megumi skillfully manipulated her kratsu to pull it out of Sig's no longer beating heart. She calmly looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, found Sig's sword, picked it up and swung it a few times, but found it unsatisfactory. She chose to throw it away and walked straight to the city gate. The warm-toned, magnificent buildings inside the city walls seemed more suitable for spending the night.

"Hui, will Divinity be alright?"

Rize Kamishiro felt a chill run down her spine, even though she no longer had a scalp.

"fine."

Kato Megumi shook her head. "Very obedient."

……

Trial World.

Non-existent war zone: 86

After repelling the [Legion] attack once again, manned unmanned heavy mechs opened, and warriors with different hair colors emerged, their faces bearing smiles that showed they were already used to fighting in such life-or-death situations, though there were other emotions mixed in.

This is the protagonist's team, Xin's team.

However, when the members gathered, it was clear that there were two unusual '86s in the team.

A black-haired girl, codenamed Ishtar.

A purple-haired man, codenamed Kama.

The so-called "86" refers to the "people of color" in the Republic of Saint Magnolia who are not white-haired and have silver eyes. They are discriminated against, enslaved, and thrown into the 86 war zone to pilot so-called drones and fight desperately against the AI ​​legion. Their only fate is to die on the battlefield.

These two special '86s are, of course, Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, who entered Paradise with the black letter in hand.

Although the two sisters were also puzzled as to why they were assigned to the same trial world, they didn't care because it was a good thing. The key issue was that winning the trial missions would officially make them players and grant them power.

As for this cool code name, it is naturally the nickname they plan to adopt in the future. The previously decided "Moon Cancer" was abandoned by Matou Sakura because it was not symmetrical enough when placed next to Rin Tohsaka.

It goes without saying that "Ishtar" and "Kama" have already been taken by players. If they want such cool nicknames, they must become S-rank. Otherwise, they can only use the alternatives "Want to Eat Egg Tart" and "Meat Sandwich". This first trial is particularly important.

[Trial World: Zone 86]

[Trial Mission: Survive for Seven Days]

Their missions were the same: to survive for a week in Squad 86. While dangerous for Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, there was nothing to worry about. To achieve what ordinary people couldn't, they needed to carefully explore the world and find the right direction to strive for.

In the past few days, Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou have quickly figured out two things that are sure to be a plus.

One is to kill more and stronger [legions].

Their character designation is 86, and their mission is to survive the war against the legion, so killing the AI ​​legion's mechanical beings will undoubtedly improve their rating.

And the other one?

"...Naturally...revenge..."

Rin Tohsaka looked behind her, towards the remaining 85 regions of the Republic of Saint Magnolia that were untouched by war, where the white-haired, silver-eyed elites lived a life of extravagance and debauchery.

In this situation, their white hair should be dyed blood with artillery fire and slaughter!

But how do we get it done?

The world's technological level is not low.

They didn't have enough time, nor did they possess extraordinary strength. Magic circuits, which were not part of the daily lives of ordinary people in the main world, had already been completely extracted by the workshop before they even accepted the black letter.

So, Matou Sakura took out her mechanical spirit root.

Her magical attribute is imaginary. Among her counterparts in different timelines, there is another BB. Her soul is born with the potential to master data networks and imaginary space, which she will not easily lose even if she becomes a mortal.

This is the skill set of a war mechanic!

As their boss, Jolyne told them to borrow props from Chiba Zoo, but she still gave them a formal gift. The mechanical spirit root that Matou Sakura obtained was Jolyne's harvest in Night City. When she accepted it, she even stole a kiss on Jolyne's cheek, which made Tohsaka Rin, who was figuring out how to use the Five Elements Bracelet, glare at her angrily.

Hmm... Jolyne obtained the Five Elements Bracelet by exchanging it for a Kingdom specialty at the Chiba Zoo's internal shop. Its function is to slightly increase the five stats, enhance self-healing and resilience, and reduce elemental damage. It can be useful in any situation.

Now, the two sisters have come up with a solution: to use the Five Elements Bracelet to stack their intelligence and quickly master the mechanical spiritual root.

To grasp the mechanical sense.

Awakening Mechanical Power.

Gain the abilities of a mechanic.

Just like the difference between celestial energy and spiritual energy, even though Matou Sakura has only grasped the basics, the essence of her mechanical spirit root comes from the mechanical path of [Taiqing Heavy Industry]. Through these days of battles, she has demonstrated the feasibility of hacking mechanical power into low-level technological creations.

"Let the weapons of war developed by the former Ziad Empire be put to my use."

"Whether it's a regular mechanical entity, or a black sheep and a shepherd, as long as I hack into them and become the mistress, I can complete the data corruption, and then further incite the emotions of people of color..."

Matou Sakura turned her fingers behind her back, stood beside her sister, and also looked into the distance. In her chaotic eyes burned a lion eager to welcome war.

Chapter 463 Each of Their Own Circumstances 2

Nami's room.

Unable to find the human-faced dog, Princess Goldfish, clutching a pillow, knocked on Nami's door. The enormous pillow dragged on the floor, obscuring most of her face.

With Nami's deliberate contact, she had forgotten about being frightened and cried not long ago and planned to sleep with Nami.

However, Nami refused with a smile because she discovered that the Goldfish Princess was a fish-man.

Although the Goldfish Princess claims to be a ghost story and doesn't have any fish-man characteristics, Nami still felt a bit uneasy about this, or perhaps a fear she herself was unwilling to admit.

After sending the Goldfish Princess away, Nami closed the door and lay down on the bed. Today's exhaustion made her close her eyes with drowsiness, but the evil god mark on her left shoulder began to twist like a vortex.

Just as she herself said.

Every part of the sea, every whirlpool, every surging wave possesses His divinity.

Nami's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a ripple the size of a spider web suddenly appeared on the deathly silent sea at night, crawling along with fate into her dream.

black……
