Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Jolyne angrily rubbed Jorogumo's spider head and said unhappily, "Keep Chiba under complete surveillance. If there's a next time, you'll be trampled underfoot by Hanako."

Of course, this was just a joke, and Jorogumo, understanding the situation, pretended to be scared.

The reason why Aki Tomoya hid in the container and wasn't found by Jorogumo's little spider was because he wrote, "Before a galgame is completed, the author needs to stay in a dark room where he won't be disturbed." The ordinary spider used for searching automatically ignored this.

The unexpected incident has been resolved satisfactorily; the current issue is how to deal with Shiina Mahiru.

Because of the influence of the project proposal, Shiina Mahiru, who appeared on the battlefield, was not noticed by the players and was later taken away by Kurohi.

Jorogumo sensed what Jolyne was thinking and began to communicate with Black Sun through her abilities.

"Shiina Mahiru was taken to school by Kurohi."

Jorogumo whispered, and then began to transfer Jolyne back through the Infinite Castle.

With a shift in perspective, Jolyne was already standing at the entrance of the Service Department. Pushing open the door, she found Shiina Mahiru, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Yui Yuigahama still there because the lunch break hadn't ended yet.

As for Eriri Sawamura, once she gets rid of the influence and remembers what she did, she'll probably be too scared to show up for a while.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was also absent. She guessed her player identity and that Jolyne would arrange for Jorogumo to contact her.

Even if we don't recruit her, we should at least investigate her situation and not reveal our information.

Shiina Mahiru looked at Jolyne with concern, then, remembering her confession at the corner of the stairs, blushed and lowered her head again.

Seeing that Jolyne was unharmed, Yukino Yukinoshita was relieved and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

"solved."

Jolyne sat in her seat, while Yui Yuigahama next to her wore a disappointed expression, leaving Jolyne completely bewildered.

Yukino Yukinoshita brought over another cup of black tea, this time without spilling it.

Start an encrypted call with Jolyne using your phone.

Yukino Yukinoshita: I told Yui Yuigahama that Shiina Mahiru was rejected after confessing her feelings to you, and then this is what she saw. Her subsequent disappearance was because you were mediating this matter.

Jolyne: The reason you gave makes me look like a jerk.

Yukino Yukinoshita: Isn't this just like your true nature?

Jolyne: What are your strengths?

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

"What are you talking about?"

Yui Yuigahama's voice rang out from the side, and Jolyne immediately put away her phone, which made Yui Yuigahama make a sad face, as if she was being isolated by her companions.

Then she was about to break free and grab Jolyne's collar and shake him, but then she thought of Shiina Mahiru next to her, so Yui Yuigahama gave up the idea and gestured to Jolyne, signaling him to pay more attention to Shiina Mahiru's condition.

Jolyne looked at Shiina Mahiru, who just happened to look up at Jolyne.

"Don't worry about me. Being rejected is a rare experience, since I'm usually the one rejecting others."

Shiina Mahiru blinked, then snuggled into Yuigahama Yui's arms, rubbing against her. Her adorable appearance made Yuigahama Yui smile foolishly.

Jolyne didn't say anything more, but instead took out a notebook and started sketching.

"If it could only release one drop of water, do you think it would be called 'Skyfall' instead of 'Water Drop'?"

This is what Shimohira Reika told him.

It has to be said that being able to witness the Japanese provincial government's dramatic display of power up close really gave him a fright.

The space was locked, and the attempt to enter the workshop became clumsy, taking about twice as long as normal. The out-of-control entity turned into dust and dissipated, as if it had never existed.

"It's because I haven't been a player long enough; I don't have enough experience."

Jolyne thought for a moment. Not counting the time he spent in Paradise, he had been a player in the main world for less than two weeks. He decided that he should be more cautious in everything he did in the future.

……

Afternoon classes still went on, and Jolyne and Shiina Mahiru walked together.

Although Yui Yuigahama was going the same way as them, she wisely decided to wait and stay in the Service Club to bother Yukino Yukinoshita.

"About what happened before." Jolyne looked down at Shiina Mahiru beside her.

She suddenly quickened her pace, her uniform skirt twirling in the light, and walked to a spot not far in front of Xu Lun. With her hands behind her back, she turned her head and whispered:

"Miss Black Sun told me that I was being controlled by someone before."

“This time doesn’t count, Jolyne.”

Chapter 126 Peaceful Days

Shadows loomed over the apartment, heavy rain fell, and the sounds of blood and screams filled the air.

Kanroji Mitsuri trembled violently, covering her eyes and unable to look directly ahead.

"It's one thing for Mitsuri to be scared, but why are you three ghost stories scared too? It's really embarrassing for ghost stories."

Jolyne questioned the three ghosts who were so frightened they huddled together.

The newly joined Mary immediately let go, her chest trembling as she straightened up and forced herself to say, "I'm not scared at all, I'm Bloody Mary, hahaha..."

Faced with this chuunibyou (delusional) tsundere, Hanako raised her hand, "I'm reporting that Mary was the most scared just now."

In an instant, the two ghosts turned into a fighting frenzy, while Sadako floated silently on the side, already used to it.

With the Aki Tomoya incident over, Jolyne finally had a few peaceful days, without any unexpected requests or mysteriously appearing players.

Because it was the weekend, Jolyne suddenly had the idea to find a horror movie on TV and enjoy watching it with them.

Perhaps because there are so many evil spirits, the horror movies are quite imaginative.

However, aside from Kanroji Mitsuri and the three embarrassing ghost stories, the others weren't particularly afraid.

Taking advantage of her fear, Mitsuri Kanroji managed to snatch a spot in Jolyne's arms.

Jolyne glanced out the window; the rain was still falling. Since becoming a player, bad things had happened on both occasions when it rained.

With her palm pressed against the soft, smooth abdomen of Mitsuri Kanroji, Jolyne silently decided to stay home and rest for a day.

The movie continued, and Saeko Busujima leaned against the side, occasionally picking up popcorn and feeding it to Jolyne.

Because it was Saeko Busujima last night, she was only wearing an oversized short-sleeved shirt, yawning and leaning against Jolyne with her eyes half-closed.

Shizuka Marikawa and Ai Haibara sat on the other side, discussing the plot in hushed tones.

With Jolyne pinching her stomach, Mitsuri Kanroji felt less nervous and twisted her body to get closer, their fleshy thighs touching.

"Mitsuri, have you gained a little weight recently?" Jolyne pinched the flesh on Kanroji Mitsuri's stomach and asked, feeling it strangely.

"Eh...Eh...How is that possible!"

Mitsuri Kanroji instantly forgot about the scene on TV, turned to stare at Jolyne, raised her hand and waved it, saying in a rapid tone, "I do combat training with Saeko every day, plus yoga, gymnastics, and taking Ai to school. My exercise is more than enough, absolutely, absolutely I won't get fat!"

Joren leaned closer to Mitsuri's lower abdomen. Compared to her ample bust and lower body, this area appeared exceptionally slender and fair, with several curves complementing her navel, making it even more alluring.

“But originally, you couldn’t pinch this much here.” Jolyne applied a little more pressure with her fingers and pinched out a layer of flesh from the lower abdomen.

Mitsuri Kanroji blushed, sat up from Jolyne, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Let's try again now."

When Jolyne pinched his abdomen, the previously soft belly hardened, revealing the shape of abs.

Jolyne: "..."

Saeko Busujima also touched it and remarked, "It feels really nice."

Seeing that, Ai Haibara sneakily touched Shizuka Marikawa's lower abdomen, enjoying the pleasant sensation, and asked curiously, "Can you do it like Mitsuri?"

Shizuka Marikawa tried it, but her stomach not only didn't change but she was also a little hungry. She immediately changed the subject by puffing out her chest: "Teacher, you don't need to worry about that. Anyway, the meat will go where it's supposed to go."

Saeko Busujima yawned, picked up Mitsuri, and explained to Jolyne, "Actually, Mitsuri's body is still developing."

After thinking for a moment, Saeko Busujima chose to express it numerically, "Although Mitsuri has not undergone any enhancement, I can feel her getting stronger during our combat training, especially in strength. According to Paradise's data, it was originally around 13, but now it has almost reached 15."

"Have it?"

Kanroji Mitsuri doesn't have any concept of this, since she doesn't need to kill demons to become stronger right now. What she knows best is that she's been eating a lot lately.

However, she simply attributed it to the abundance of delicious food in modern society, which made her hungry again once she saw other foods after finishing one.

"It's normal for her to get stronger, after all, Mitsuri's potential was already very high, it's just that her speed is a bit too fast."

Her score rose from 13 to 15 in less than a week. It's no wonder that Kanroji Mitsuri became a Pillar in the Demon Slayer world just by wanting to fall in love.

They didn't take it too seriously, since Saeko Busujima and the others improved their strength faster than Mitsuri Kanroji after receiving the enhancement.

"It would be good to give Mitsuri Kanroji some enhancements," Jolyne thought to herself.

It's a great pity that Aki Tomoya's body was never found; he left nothing behind.

I won't do it now, since the movie isn't over yet.

……

By the afternoon, they had not only finished watching the movie, but also watched several sequels.

Xu Lun sat on the sofa, several seeds of different colors appearing in his palm, which he twirled in his hand like ornamental walnuts.

This successfully attracted the attention of the three ghost stories.

"That's something that can make you stronger," Hanako whispered to Mary from behind.

Not only is Mary a bit arrogant, but she's also a bit of a fool. Despite Hanako's blatant hints, she forced herself to float towards Jolyne.

Under Hanako's watchful gaze, Mary bravely launched her attack, pointing to a black seed, "Jolyne, I want that one."

Jolyne glanced at her, making her shudder and try to hide herself behind the parasol.

“This one won’t do,” Jolyne refused.

Jolyne beckoned Sadako over and picked up a golden seed.

Ability Seed - Binding Barrier: Releases a golden barrier that binds enemies, and if they are ghosts or monsters, it also inflicts an additional weakening effect...

Sadako's abilities are the weakest of the three ghosts; she struggles even to manifest her true form. However, Jolyne doesn't care about strength.

Sadako's personality is relatively obedient, making her easier to manage than other ghost stories.

Sadako still looks like that white-clad ghost girl, her delicate features making her very endearing.

Seeing the golden seed held between Jolyne's fingers, Sadako didn't hesitate. She leaned down, took it into her mouth with her pink lips, and rolled her tongue around it.

"Thank you, Master."

Chapter 127 Human Girl Mutual Aid Manual

As Sadako swallowed, the seed transformed into a ball of light that flowed down her jade-like neck, giving Sadako a warm feeling amidst the ghost stories.

Unconsciously, her tongue began to lick Jolyne's fingers. Seeing that Jolyne did not move, Sadako got up and retreated to the side, sensing the change in her strength.

The reason for such a strong reaction is that all the power seeds Jolyne possessed had been processed by the workshop.

Seeing Aki Tomoya's loss of control, Jolyne has been conducting a new round of experiments with Haibara Ai in the workshop these past few days.

As expected of a scientist, his thinking was much clearer than Jolyne's when it came to research. After Jolyne waved his hand and supplied energy, the experiment quickly yielded results.

The results proved that the ability seeds that do not eliminate the influence of the original owner are really unusable. The use of such seeds significantly increases the probability of losing control, and to a certain extent, they turn the test subjects into Frankenstein's monsters.

However, the seed for eliminating the original owner's influence will not be generated, just as the workshop described:

Become truly your own power!

To give a simple example, consider the gecko's stealth ability, which cost 15 energy to extract initially, and the stealth ability after processing it with 1500 energy.

Although the workshop remained silent, it had clearly demonstrated that you get what you pay for.

Jolyne thought about it carefully and was glad that the ability seeds she gave them had been processed.

New problems also arise. Is the reason why players in the Paradise have gone out of control because the skills and bloodlines they acquired there were not processed and have left some kind of influence, or even corruption from a type that counters them...?

Jolyne didn't bother to think too much about it. Anyway, he had his workshops to handle it, and Jolyne didn't believe that he was the only one who could research this kind of thing. The forces in the main world might have already found some answers.

Mary watched longingly from the side, her eyes brimming with tears. When Jolyne looked over, she turned her head away, pretending not to be sad.

Jolyne blurted out, "You should go sit at the same table as Sawamura Eriri."
