But it’s a rare New Year, so what’s wrong with being happy?

At least Zhao Yang thought it was okay.

He glanced at Fate and the other two who were happily discussing, and his heart was at peace.

When he was immersed in his warm daily life, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the incoming call and saw it was from Takamachi Shirou.

The phone call slowly wiped the smile off his face.

Zhao Yang picked up the phone and walked out of the house to answer the call:

"Hey, Shirou-san?"

"Yang Jun, I have an important mission here, are you interested in taking it?"

Takamachi Shirou's steady voice came over, and at the same time, the sound of wind and waves also reached Zhao Yang's ears.

Where is he?

"Mission? At this time?"

"Yes, it's this time. Every year at this time, the demons will set out from the main island to attack New Tokyo, so there will be missions."

At this time, Takamachi Shiro was standing on a destroyer, with Takamachi Kyoya standing next to him, and both of them were looking in the direction of the main island.

However, they were very far away, and even with the vision of a supernatural being, they could only see a faint little dot.

If you pull the view further back, you can see a huge fleet waiting at sea.

Without the knowledge of the citizens of New Tokyo, the sea between New Tokyo and the main island was in a state of war.

Zhao Yang was also one of those who was unaware of this.

He asked in surprise: "Every year? Why haven't I heard my parents say that?"

"Haha, in your Xuan country's words, it's the New Year. We can't let ordinary people worry, right?"

Takamachi Shirou laughed.

But he immediately said seriously:

“The demons would attack at this time, it’s actually very simple.

You should also know that the reason why old Tokyo was swallowed by the demon world was related to the despair that permeated Tokyo at that time."

"know."

"Since then, we have known for a fact that human emotions, scattered one by one, although insignificant, are sufficient to produce some mysterious influence on the earth when they are gathered together.

There is a saying that humans, as the overlord of the earth, have a mystical connection with the earth. There is also a saying that humans, as the spirit of all things, are naturally strong in spirit, and their combined power is strong enough to affect the boundary of the earth.

In short, the meaning is the same. The collective consciousness of human beings has extraordinary power.”

Takamachi Shirou explained:

“The end of the year and the beginning of the year are the collective cognition of the people, and therefore on the last day of each year, the earth’s boundary wall will be affected and weakened, and the demons can more easily come out of the old Tokyo demon world.

And today there are celebrations in most parts of the world. They instinctively feel that if they succeed in causing damage on this day, they can effectively undermine human will and facilitate the next invasion.

So on this day, demons will gather together and launch an invasion.

And New Tokyo is the place that will bear the brunt of this.”

Zhao Yang asked suspiciously, "According to what you said, the demons knew they were going to invade today, so they are obviously intelligent. Then why didn't they bypass New Tokyo? Many places don't have the strength of New Tokyo."

"Haha, you overestimate demons. They have some intelligence, but not completely. They know how to attack New Tokyo, which is the limit of their instinct."

Takamachi Shirou smiled brightly.

58 There are always people carrying heavy loads

Takamachi Shiro said:

"That's the basic situation. There aren't too many monsters this year. Do you want to come and experience it? This is also a must-go for the extraordinary people in New Tokyo. Anyone with a little bit of strength will be invited."

Zhao Yang asked suspiciously, "Did so many extraordinary people participate in the battle during the New Year?"

"...A lot. Much more than you think."

Takamachi Shirou said without hesitation.

…It turns out that demons attack New Tokyo at the end of every year.

Zhao Yang couldn't help but fall silent.

He suddenly remembered that his parents had not come back at the end of the year and had hurried back after midnight, so he asked:

"I remember now, my parents sometimes go on missions at this time. Could it be that they..."

Takamachi Shirou admitted:

“Yes, sometimes when there are too many demons, more extraordinary beings will be invited to join the battle.

Your parents are quite capable and responsible, and they would go to war every year before you were born. But after you were born, the number of wars they participated in decreased, and they only came when the situation was serious...

Well, let's get back to the point. We went to scout and found that the demon invasion this year is not very serious. It is weaker than in previous years, so it is very suitable for a novice like you to practice. You can consider coming over around nine o'clock."

He basically finished what he said here, except for one final comment:

"By the way, you can ask Rem-chan to come along. She's a member of your office and can come, too."

"Does it take an office member to go?"

"Well, in principle, this is a mission that needs to be kept secret. Any extraordinary person who comes close to this place without being invited will be captured.

Think about it carefully, and when you have made up your mind, go find Miyuki. She will wait for you until nine o'clock."

"Ok."

After Zhao Yang agreed, he hung up the phone.

He put away his phone, stood outside the door and took a few deep breaths.

This unexpected news undoubtedly shocked him.

Every year at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, New Tokyo is always peaceful, quiet, lively and cheerful.

This is what is happening behind the scenes...

The so-called peaceful and quiet days actually come at a price.

There are always people who carry heavy burdens.

This time, he will follow in his parents' footsteps and join in.

"Haha, even though the Earth has been invaded, it can't be said that the years are peaceful."

After he made a joke, his expression quickly returned to calm.

…When he heard that his parents had also been in the war, he had already decided to go tonight.

Those extraordinary people who have no intention of lying down will have to face this kind of scene sooner or later.

Moreover, this time there are defense forces and a large number of extraordinary people joining the battle, and the enemy is a group of demons with not very high intensity. If he retreats, what's the point of playing?

Therefore, whether or not to participate in the war is not a question that requires any thought.

…I just don’t know if Rem will go.

When Zhao Yang returned home, Fate and the others were still happily listening to music.

"Well, I have something to say."

He began to attract their attention:

"I just received a call from Shirou-san, and he told me..."

Since confidentiality is a principle and not mandatory, it doesn't matter if he says it out. Fate and Ram will be members of his firm sooner or later anyway.

Zhao Yang repeated what he had just heard, and the expressions of Fate and the others suddenly became very interesting.

"To think there is such a thing..."

"I really didn't expect that."

“What a surprise…”

They were all shocked.

Zhao Yang said calmly: "Anyway, I have decided to go, Rem, do you want to come?"

"I'll go as well."

Rem answered quickly, which was somewhat unexpected.

He asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm a little scared, but I can't just sit there and watch the demons invade."

Her answer was firm.

"..."

Zhao Yang was silent for a moment.

He thought that her hometown was destroyed by demons, so it was normal for this to happen.

"I'll go as well."

Ram also spoke.

Fate didn't say anything. She had just become a superhuman and knew that if she went there, she would only cause more trouble.

Zhao Yang shook his head and said, "Ram, you can't go even if you want to. You are not from my firm. I heard that the management there is very strict. If you go, you might end up in jail."

"It's so serious... okay."

Ram didn't expect this to happen and had to give up.

Fate's eyes flashed with worry: "You have to be more careful."

"Don't worry, there are still so many people up there to support us, it won't be a big problem."

Zhao Yang smiled.

This time is different from the last time we faced the Shadow Fiend. This time there are many extraordinary people and the army is cooperating with them.

As long as he is smart, the chances of anything going wrong will be slim.

"Just watch over Kohaku and wait for us to come back. We should be back before one in the morning."

Zhao Yang recalled the time when his parents came home in the past and said to Fate.

"Yeah, my parents used to come back around this time."

Fate nodded and said gently: "I will prepare a midnight snack and wait for you to come back."

"please."

Zhao Yang smiled.

Then he said to Rem:

"Then go back and get your equipment first."

"Ok."

…Although she has upgraded, her equipment is still F-level, which is a bit unmatched with her current strength.

This mission was an unexpected one. Neither Zhao Yang nor Rem had expected this to happen, and naturally they hadn't thought about changing equipment.

After Rem left to get his equipment, Zhao Yang also went back to the room to take out his leather armor and sword, and then he called Miyuki.

The other party quickly answered:

"Yang Jun, have you thought it through?"

"I've thought about it. Rem and I will go. What are your plans?"

"Wait at home for a while. I'll pick you up around eight o'clock."

"OK, thanks."

"fine."
