Zongman: Evolution Paradise

These are all very ordinary places. If there's anything particularly special about them, it's probably that there are often students around.

With too few options, Jolyne didn't consider it and followed Shiina Mahiru on the road.

At 1.56 meters tall, Shiina Mahiru is not considered short, and her figure has a youthful feel.

But next to Jolyne, she appears rather petite and charming.

In particular, Shiina Mahiru's face is very youthful. If they weren't wearing the same school uniform, passersby would probably mistake them for a brother and sister.

"Shiina-kun," Jolyne called out to her.

Shiina Mahiru turned around and said in a serious tone, "Jolyne-kun can just call me Mahiru."

In Japan, calling someone by their first name is considered quite intimate, and calling someone by their first name without their consent can result in being labeled with offensive terms.

People like Yui Yuigahama are rare; being naturally outgoing only works if Yui Yuigahama is cute enough. If Yoshiteru Shibamoto were to come over and call Jolyne by her nickname in a cloying way, General Shibamoto would probably have to make a hasty exit.

"So, Mahiru, do you remember where you first felt that sensation?"

Jolyne asked her if he couldn't keep following Shiina Mahiru to and from school like this if the problem wasn't solved.

Not to mention that Jolyne has his own things to do, what if he ends up in Paradise one day?

When it came to serious matters, Shiina Mahiru thought hard and finally gave an uncertain answer.

"It seems to be... a slope on the way to school."

Upon arriving at their destination, Jolyne discovered that it was the same area where she and Tiger had encountered Kanoko and Naoko.

The scenery consists of the rooftops and walls of individual houses on both sides, and there is a cherry blossom tree in full bloom by the roadside.

Standing under the cherry blossom tree, the view from the top of the slope is quite beautiful.

Even now, people still take photos there, but after seeing Jolyne, they politely give up this excellent spot.

"I was standing right here at the time."

Shiina Mahiru stood facing the slope and then began to describe the scene.

"The time was about the same, I was going to school in the morning, and I passed by here, and as usual, I took a look at the cherry blossom tree from this spot."

At this point, Shiina Mahiru blushed slightly and pointed to a branch on the cherry blossom tree. Unlike the other branches, this one didn't have any cherry blossoms on it, but instead had many dense scratches.

Jolyne glanced at it; it was mostly short names of couples connected together with heart symbols.

When Shiina Mahiru passed by, she often couldn't help but glance at the things that had gradually faded away over time, and the things that had just been carved.

"Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, and if I hadn't reacted in time, my skirt would have been blown up."

Shiina Mahiru spreads her arms wide, exaggerating the urgency of the situation.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the swaying branches of the cherry blossom tree scattered petals.

For a moment, Shiina Mahiru under the tree was breathtaking.

Snapped!

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and she felt warmth and a slight pain coming from her buttocks. After a moment of stunned silence, Shiina Mahiru's face flushed red as she realized what was happening.

"It's windy."

Explaining her reasoning, Jolyne pressed her palm against Shiina Mahiru's skirt, disregarding its softness, and calmly surveyed the slope below.

Jolyne, having reached level 10 with Breath of the Wind, was well aware of whether the wind was right or not.

Shiina Mahiru's perception wasn't a delusion; something was truly watching her.

There weren't many people around, but there were still quite a few, and the stalker might not even be among them.

If he were to follow Shiina Mahiru directly, then Jorogumo would definitely notice.

It's more likely that some power influenced everything from afar.

"Jolyne... is it alright now?"

Shiina Mahiru was extremely shy, her every sense focused on the sensation coming from her buttocks, and she didn't pay any attention to her surroundings.

"It's alright, let's go to school."

Jolyne subtly withdrew her gaze. A spider was lurking by the roadside from time to time, and Jorogumo had already recorded everyone present.

Shiina Mahiru didn't notice any of this, absentmindedly following Jolyne, stealing glances every now and then, her face turning red for a moment.

As a result, Jolyne and Shiina Mahiru almost arrived late, which became big news as the newspaper club rose to prominence.

The students in Class E had already gotten a taste of the drama before the teacher even arrived at the classroom.

"I knew their relationship was definitely not ordinary, since they both came to school at the same time."

A girl was gossiping to the person next to her when she opened her pencil case and saw a spider. Before she could scream, she fell asleep.

The crisp sound of it hitting the table was a good start.

It wasn't because she was gossiping; the girl was also nearby at the time.

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

The deskmate's reply came late, startled by the girl who had fallen. Before she could react, the spider from the pencil case had already crawled onto the back of her hand.

The next moment, another good start was announced.

She wasn't nearby at the time; this was definitely because of gossip.

The math teacher sat on the podium with a defeated look on his face, filled with the loneliness of being at the top.

He hasn't even started class yet, and someone's already falling asleep today. That's just too much.

Kato Megumi gave Jolyne a strange look, feeling that today was different from usual.

"What happened?"

A question arose in her mind; Kato Megumi wondered if something had really happened between her and Shiina Mahiru.

Jolyne sent a message to Yukino Yukinoshita: "Send me a list of students from Soubu University. It would be even better if you included specific information."

Controlling the wind to blow up the skirt is something that makes students from Zongwu University more suspicious.

Shiina Mahiru is a famous angel at Soubu University, with many admirers and a constant stream of love letters.

But to outsiders, he's just a good-looking passerby. Since he dares to follow Shiina Mahiru, why doesn't he follow someone like Yukino Fuyuki?

Compared to random crime, Jolyne felt that this person was more likely to know Shiina Mahiru.

Yukino Yukinoshita took out her phone from under her desk; there were only a few lonely people on her LINE account.

Xu Lun: Send me a list of students from Zongwu University. It would be even better if you included specific information.

"About Shiina Mahiru?"

Yukino Yukinoshita found the file on her phone, forwarded it to Jolyne, and typed: "The only specific information is the address and phone number."

Upon receiving Yukino Yukinoshita's document, Jolyne glanced through it and lowered his head to prepare for sleep.

Nakano Miku looked around at the sleepy students in the class with a dazed expression, and couldn't help but yawn as well. Then, she was startled and straightened her back. She was determined not to fall asleep in class today.

Yesterday, when the other four were found, I was still sleeping with my headphones on, which was really embarrassing.

Chapter 113 A clone? Just a tool.

Upon entering the dream, Jorogumo, dressed as a maid, is already waiting for you.

Hopping and skipping, Jorogumo approached Jolyne and said softly in a low voice, "Greetings, Master~"

She clearly remembered what Jolyne had said to Yui Yuigahama.

"Could it be that she didn't notice what happened to Shiina Mahiru because she was focused on watching me?"

Jorin picked up Jorogumo and spanked her.

Pressed down on Jorin's lap, Jorogumo's white-stockinged legs twitched incessantly as she cried out in a panic, like a forced commoner, "Master, please don't..."

But in reality, Jorogumo's eyes were already filled with anticipation, and her twisting waist was not an attempt to struggle outwards, but rather to press closer to Jolyne.

Completely enjoying it all, Jolyne immediately stopped rewarding her.

After struggling for a while, Jorogumo no longer felt her buttocks being slapped, and raised her face in confusion.

Seeing that Jolyne had no intention of continuing, Jorogumo got up with a regretful expression and sat on Jolyne's lap.

Jolyne felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze. She really didn't understand what Jorogumo had learned in modern society through the Infinity Castle.

"I asked you to find any players who might exist in Chiba. Have you done that yet?"

When Jorin brought up serious matters, Jorogumo knew that now was not the time for her to play around.

With a single gesture, a detailed document would appear in her hands.

This is a dream; anything you remember can be changed at will.

"Some have been confirmed, some are suspected, and we don't know about the others."

Jolyne flipped through them one by one, and the confirmed parts were of two kinds: one was that Jorogumo had directly witnessed something different about them, and the other was that there were definitely players in places that Jorogumo's little spiders couldn't enter.

Jorogumo leaned against Jolyne, took out a document from her small hand, and her grass-green eyes sparkled. "I also found a player gathering. It seems to be organized by someone. Give me a little more time, and I'll be able to follow the clues to find the person who hosted the gathering."

"Remember to find out who I am before going up, and don't provoke any Japanese provincial government forces."

Xu Lun was going through these materials, comparing them with the list of students from Zongwu University in his mind, looking for any overlap.

A name caught his attention: a photo of the long-haired, straight-haired girl he had seen on the rooftop before.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha..."

Jolyne read out the name, but given her personality, how could she possibly do something so bizarre to Shiina Mahiru?

Setting her file aside, Xu Lun continued flipping through the pages.

There's actually a player inside the tiny Soubu University. It's that guy from Class F named Hayama Hayato. He's somewhat related to the Yukinoshita family, but he's not a big suspect because he has a crush on Yukinoshita's older sister.

Apart from these two, there are no other players recognized as players by Jorogumo within Soubu University. However, the fact that a small university like Soubu University has gathered five players is quite remarkable in itself.

Jolyne was reviewing documents, while Jorogumo was manipulating her spider silk to control those who were near the slope and make them fall into a dream.

Because there were too many people, Jorogumo pulled them into the same dream and arranged a unique battle royale game.

The two girls in Jolyne's class have started backstabbing each other, just to compete for the airdropped treasure chest.

Aside from these normal scenes, nothing particularly unusual has been found so far.

After a while, Jorogumo caused the dream to shrink, withdrew her gaze, and shook her head helplessly at Jolyne.

"It seems it really is some kind of remote influence."

Jolyne suddenly paused as he turned to the next page; he had come across someone suspicious.

With a heavy build, cloudy eyes, and a thick beard, he looked like a disobedient monk, with a large string of Buddhist beads around his neck, standing with his hands clasped together.

He doesn't look like a good person at all, and his file even says he's been to Zongwu University.

……

My name is Jin Gang Huang Nan, and I am an exorcist dedicated to eliminating all the strange and harmful tales in the world.

This is my profession, and also my belief.

If there weren't so many evil spirits in the sky, I would have believed it.

Now, I'm looking for ghost stories.

While gathering information on ghost stories, a rumor came up that really bothered me.

The little demon I slept with last time told me that there was a Miss Mary in this dilapidated temple who liked to break people's limbs, causing them to die of fear.

Miss Mary?

It's been a long time since I've encountered such an evil urban legend; I'm getting excited.

The man with a striking resemblance to Lu Zhishen, known as the Vajra Wild Man, stood in front of the dilapidated temple. As usual, before exorcising the demon, he finished reciting his self-introduction and prepared to begin his work.

From his perspective, the temple did indeed possess a strong aura of darkness, but it was currently weakening.

"Could it be that Miss Mary sensed my presence and ran away?"

Just as this thought crossed his mind, his phone rang in his pocket. The man with the physique took the phone out and held it to his ear to answer. He heard a crying sound coming from the other end.
