As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

Could it be that the conditions for the formation of [weirdness] are extremely harsh?

"The reason why it became like this is because of the two characteristics of [Death Qi]."

Yuan Hui raised two fingers, "First, [Death Qi] cannot be blocked by matter."

Because its essence is a kind of energy.

"Secondly, the energy of [Dead Qi] will be attracted by the gravity of the planet."

"Ms. Morikami, why don't you imagine where the [Death Energy] with these two characteristics will eventually accumulate to?"

Morikami frowned slightly, and after a moment, she looked down at her feet with a somewhat horrified look.

"Could it be that all the [death energy] on this planet has accumulated at the center of the earth?"

"That's right." Yuan Hui nodded. "Under the influence of the planet's gravity, once [Death Qi] is generated, it will be pulled by the planet's gravity to penetrate the thick lithosphere and the even thicker crust, all the way to the mantle and the center of the earth, and continue to accumulate inside the planet."

“Even if hundreds of billions of [weirdness] do emerge from it, they cannot cross the thick mantle and crust. They can only fight against each other and fall into madness in the dark underground world.”

"It is precisely because of this that the surface of this planet has soil that can support life."

"From this perspective, the underworld does exist in this world."

"Billions of [monsters] are buried deep in the land beneath our feet, imprisoned by this planet, enduring a sentence with no end in sight."

Such a life makes people despair just thinking about it.

"But this cage is actually not impossible to escape." Yuanhui pinched Rika's cheek, and the latter seemed quite docile, without any disgust when facing Morikami Nozomi.

Even the cheeks that were as cold as ice had a few soft curves.

"Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions..."

"With these crustal movements, some [weird things] will be able to escape and return to the human world."

"Lika is one of these [weirdos]."

Sakurajima is the country with the most intense crustal activity, the most frequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes on the planet. Compared with other countries, it is naturally a paradise for "weirdos".

And because of the rampant [weirdness], the laws of this country are also subtly different from those in the previous life. For example -

This is not monogamy.

Regardless of gender, as long as they are able, they can have multiple partners, but at the same time, they must also assume the obligation to have children.

If you get married but don't have children, not only will you be severely fined by the government, but your file will also be affected.

In addition to these measures to strongly encourage childbirth, Sakurajima's domestic immigration policy is also relatively relaxed, accepting tens of thousands of foreign immigrants every year.

However, in contrast, Sakurajima's foreign immigration policy is strict to the point of being harsh. It can even be said that it is almost impossible to leave the country except by smuggling.

There are so many different things.

At this point, we have pretty much finished discussing the topic of [weirdness].

After receiving such a large amount of information, Morikami Nozomi fell into silence for a while.

In this world, there exists another kind of existence that is completely opposite to living beings and naturally opposed to them. To accept this, it is actually a big test for Morikami Nozomi's three views.

Yuanhui was not in a hurry either, he just stroked Lika's hair silently.

Her long hair, which glows with silver light and looks like condensed moonlight, is Yuanhui's favorite part to touch, because the feel is so good that it is indescribable, and no amount of high-quality silk can compare to it.

Morikami Nozomi's observation was correct. He was indeed very sleepy at this moment.

It's not because of excitement.

Although he was happy about taming the [Lika Doll], it was not to the extent that it affected his sleep.

It’s not because of waking up early.

Unlike Morikami Nozomi, he got up at 6 o'clock and got just eight hours of adequate sleep.

The reason why he was so sleepy was:

He was entangled in 'knowledge'.

In the general perception, knowledge is beneficial and is something that humans must spend time and energy pursuing.

But some 'knowledge' is just the opposite.

Not only will they not wait for you to chase them, but they will chase you instead—

It's as cruel as an eagle chasing a hare.

This is the side effect of the ability [Blood Field].

After Yuanhui fell asleep, he would come to the desolate land covered in black and red, wandering aimlessly on it, hearing words that ordinary people could not understand.

That is not any human language.

Those are words that only [Weird] can understand.

[Blood Field] is the burial place of foreigners. Only the souls of foreigners who have been embraced by death can bear this mark of blood and sin.

Before Lika was buried, a previous person had already been buried here.

That is Yuanhui himself.

This is not a bad thing.

The existence of the soul, the characteristics of death, the nature of weirdness, the truth of this world...

All this information came from the knowledge that kept haunting him.

It's just that I can't sleep well. If I can gain this knowledge with such a "slight" price, it's not a losing deal.

Moreover, he was not alone. [Lika] also appeared in his dream, and was held in his arms like now, stroking her hair.

If more monsters are 'buried' in the future, that [Blood Field] should also become lively, right?

However, for the sake of mental health, any ugly monsters can just be fed to [Lika].

Just as Yuan Hui was thinking about this and that——

"Genju-kun, it may be a bit presumptuous to say this all of a sudden," Morikami Nozomi called his name softly and looked at him with an extremely serious look, "Do you need a supporter?"

Obviously, this supporter she was talking about.

It refers to herself.

12. Angel

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get some things." Before Yuanhui could respond to her job application, Morikami Nozomi ran out of the bedroom.

Looking at her expression, she seemed like a graduate who was hurriedly submitting her materials to the interviewer.

Morikami Nozomi didn't let Genki wait too long.

It only took about 3 minutes, and she came back in holding a box about the size of a schoolbag.

Although the box was not big, judging from the girl's slightly trembling steps, the box must be quite heavy.

When walking into the bedroom, Morikami Xi deliberately and secretly peeked at Yuanhui's expression. When he did not see any impatience on his face, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming to Yuanhui and opening the box, the things in the box naturally appeared in front of Yuanhui.

They are books.

A more detailed and accurate name is 'black notebook'.

Although these black notebooks show signs of age, you can still see signs of maintenance.

Morikami Nozomi picked up the top book and handed it to Genki.

With a little curiosity, Yuan Hui opened the notebook, and what caught his eyes was the girl's beautiful handwriting and some "tofu cubes" cut from newspapers or scraps.

They were neatly and orderly arranged in front of Yuanhui, and at the top of each page, the date was even recorded neatly.

After browsing a few pages, Yuan Hui's face showed a hint of surprise.

Those cut-out "tofu pieces" are all kinds of strange news and stories. They were carefully collected and then pieced together according to their relevance.

As for the writings on it, some are supplementary explanations of these events, and some are the girl’s speculations about these events.

Of course, due to the limitations of knowledge and experience, most of these guesses are not very reliable.

Nozomi Morikami played with her hair a little embarrassedly, and her fair cheeks had turned completely pink.

These notebooks were originally written for her alone, so she could be said to be unrestrained in writing, and were soaked in her own shallow and immature fantasies.

It’s really embarrassing to let others see these contents.

But if you want to show your value, these are indeed the best media.

"You should have noticed as well." After suppressing his embarrassment, Morikami Nozomi said in the calmest tone possible, "I'm actually an extremely avid fan of ghost stories."

"I collect all kinds of strange stories, write them down, and guess the truth behind them. This is my favorite extracurricular activity. This is the result of my accumulation over the years."

Nozomi Morikami pointed to the box in front of her that was filled with notebooks.

"Although most of them are just hearsay without any factual basis, there are some real stories like [Rika Doll's Ghost Phone Call]."

Having said that, Morikami deliberately glanced at [Lika], only to find that the doll sitting in Yuanhui's arms was staring at her coldly.

[Lika] has actually never been very friendly to her. After knowing the nature of [Weirdness], Morikami Nozomi is no longer surprised by this attitude.

But her eyes now were much colder than before.

Did I say something to make [Lika] angry?

Several question marks appeared in Morikami Nozomi's head, but he immediately put them behind him.

The most important thing now is to get Yuanhui to agree to her job application. Everything else can be put aside for the time being.

Yuan Hui naturally understood what Morikami meant——

She was proving to him that she was useful to him.

From previous contacts, Morikami Nozomi discovered that Genhui seemed to need someone to collect and organize various information.

Now she is just recommending herself.

Putting down the notebook in his hand, Yuanhui looked at Morikami Nozomi, and the girl also looked at him, with tension floating in her deep purple eyes.

"Do you really want to have supernatural powers?" Yuanhui asked.

Morikami Nozomi's eyes widened slightly, as if she had not expected Yuanhui to ask such a question.

But when she answered, she did not hesitate at all——

"of course."

……

……

St. Eden Academy.

Just like the name suggests, this is actually a school with a strong religious atmosphere.

It is actually not a bad idea to simply call it a church school.

This school is located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and is a comprehensive school that provides everything from kindergarten to university.

At the same time, it is also one of the most famous schools in Sakurajima.

And in the center of St. Eden Academy stands a small church.

The pointed dome seemed like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the sky.

Today is the first day of school, and every corner of St. Eden Academy is filled with noise and bustle.

But even so, this church still remains holy and solemn.

It's as if it doesn't exist in this world at all.

The obsidian floor forms a sharp contrast with the white walls. The dim and soft light appears extremely soft under the polished glass cover, just like a bonfire lit by ancient ancestors for sacred worship.

On the turntable-like chandelier, thousands of candles are burning in the dome, like stars.

But if you were to say what the most eye-catching thing in this church is, it would be the cross that is two people tall and stands right behind the pulpit.

A [thing] is being nailed to the cross.

The reason why I use such an impolite word as "东西" is because it is too difficult to describe.
