Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

"The photo disappeared. It was probably our souls that ran away."

Yamada Ryo took out his cell phone and checked the photos he had taken, but there was no Bosla in the album.

Yuya Kazami ran out of the exhibition hall. The streets and high-rise buildings in Shimokitazawa were intact, with no signs of damage at all. The citizens outside the cordon were inexplicably frightened and whispered to each other.

"What just happened?"

"I think I saw Godzilla?"

"I was actually killed by Godzilla's atomic ray."

"Is there a gas leak?"

"That Godzilla, don't you think he looks a lot like Goto Ichiri?"

"What do you mean by similar? Isn't that just Godzilla in a doll costume?"

……

Everyone was discussing what had just happened, and Kazami Yuya realized that Goto Ichiri turning into Godzilla was not their illusion, but something that really happened.

It’s just that the place where it happens is not in the real world.

Chapter 14: C's World? No, It's Z's World

After a while, Yuya Kazami received a call from the Prime Minister's Office.

"Yes! That's right. There were no casualties, and the impact is currently unknown... The following is my partial understanding. Goto Ichiri suddenly died, and a gas that looked like a soul came out of her mouth. Then there was light, which grew from faint to seemingly covering the entire world. Finally, a giant Goto Ichiri appeared in a doll costume, firing atomic rays to destroy the city. After the destruction was over, Goto Ichiri sat down to rest, and Ijichi Hongka and the others woke her up..."

Yuya Kazami reported the incident in detail to his superiors.

At the Prime Minister's residence, the think tank compiled intelligence and conducted analysis.

"Your Excellency, the video has disappeared."

One person suddenly discovered that the computer screen returned to normal.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I feel very tired all of a sudden. I wonder if it's a side effect of dying in the Gray World."

One person found that he was becoming a little tired.

"Me too...and it's slowly starting to hurt."

"Grade I pain...is slowly getting worse. Based on my experience, at this rate, it will probably become Grade II pain in about 10 minutes."

"Will someone die?"

"I don't know, it just hurts. I don't have any injuries. Where's the doctor?"

The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's residence became anxious and restless. After a long period of tossing and turning, the conclusion was not reached until the early hours of the next morning.

"Based on your experiences yesterday, after Goto Ichiri's suspected astral experience, a massive spiritual force enveloped Tokyo, dragging everyone's consciousness into a gray world. Everyone ran and died in that gray world, but returning to the real world took only a second, and our bodies were still in their original positions."

"After returning to the real world, those who were mentally relaxed experienced fatigue and phantom pain in the third minute, while those who were mentally tense experienced fatigue and phantom pain in the tenth minute. The fatigue and phantom pain progressed from light to deep, with a gap of 12 to 15 minutes between first-degree pain and second-degree pain. Second-degree pain lasted about five minutes, and fatigue lasted about five hours. Quality sleep significantly shortened this time, and after a good night's sleep, most of what happened in the gray world was forgotten."

"Based on this, the Gray World belongs to the underworld, hell, the underworld, and dreams. It's where souls reside, a world where only consciousness exists. It's equivalent to the collective subconscious, and it's also the collection of human minds and memories. The death of our souls in the Gray World will also have a certain impact on the real world, just like in myths and legends, where the living are dragged down to hell to be tortured while dreaming, and find themselves injured when they wake up."

"We define the gray world as the Z world. Z, being the last letter of the alphabet, symbolizes the world we will take our final step into. Z also often represents sleep, suggesting that the gray world is a dream world different from the real world."

Scholars have analyzed Bosra and the Gray World extremely thoroughly.

Even Hins Cheung, who was at the center of the Z world, was surprised.

He did not influence these scholars, but let them speculate. Who would have thought that these scholars actually had something.

"If there really is consciousness, then this world should be called World Z."

Zhang Jingxuan took a step forward, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. There were broken walls and ruins all around, and the scene was desolate. The flat concrete ground became bumpy, and huge footprints were deeply stepped into the ground.

Yes, this is Shimokitazawa which was destroyed by Bosra.

It is also a world that is deeply engraved in the minds of nearly one million people in Setagaya Ward and the surrounding area.

Borrowing the collective consciousness of the people, Shimokitazawa took shape in the void.

"Hehehe, that's great! Since I can't affect the real world, I'll just build my own playground in this Z world!"

Zhang Jingxuan covered his face and laughed wildly.

"Yili, it's time to go to school."

At the Goto residence, Goto Michiyo knocked on Goto Ichiri's bedroom door.

Goto Ichiri curled up in the closet and said sullenly, "No, I can no longer survive in society. My life is over."

Goto Michiyo smiled wryly and said, "How can that be exaggerated? Hasn't the public opinion changed?"

Goto Ichiri held his head in his hands. "Just because my reputation has changed doesn't mean I'm not socially dead! When I get to school, everyone will point at me and say, 'Look, that's Pochi, the one who plays with both men and women, and gets played with by both men and women.' Wuwuwu! I don't want to go to school anymore."

"No, now everyone is more afraid that my sister will turn into Godzilla."

Goto Jiri's voice sounded from the side, and the closet door suddenly opened from the outside.

"Wow wow wow wow!!!"

The sunlight shone in from the window, and Goto Ichiri screamed like a vampire burned by the sun.

"Sister, didn't you go online? The humans you killed after becoming Godzilla all felt terrible pain after coming back to life. Everyone was worried that if Godzilla killed them again, they would really die."

Goto Jiri's eyes sparkled: "Godzilla is so powerful, I want to become Godzilla too!"

"Godzilla isn't such a good thing. Don't have such scary thoughts."

Goto Ichiri grabbed his sister's arm and screamed while trembling all over.

Goto Jiri shook his head and said, "Sister is really difficult to deal with. She is such a powerful monster. If she turns into Godzilla, no one will dare to bully her. Everyone is afraid that she will bully them."

Goto Ichiri yelled frantically, "I don't want to bully others. I want to be a heartthrob, with enough fans to fill the Tokyo Dome. I don't want to be seen as a monster by others... Anyway, I'm not good at studying. Even if I study hard, I'll still get a zero on the test. I might as well stay home."

Goto Ichiri is in a depressed mood. She has given up socializing and even dares not go online because she is afraid of seeing negative news about herself online.

"Fans? There are a lot of them. The number of Godzilla cult members has exceeded 50,000, which is more than Guitar Hero's fans!"

Goto Jiri held up his phone in front of Goto Ichiri. The screen showed the official religious website - Godzilla Cult. The main picture on the homepage was a hand-drawn Bozrah, and the number of believers was... 53,622!

Moreover, the number of believers is still growing: 53,637, 53,701, 53,775...

The number is growing rapidly.

"After all, my sister is a living Godzilla."

“So many… so many fans!”

In an instant, Goto Ichiri's emotions were high.

"Pochi-chan, I'm not a human anymore!"

An extremely powerful spiritual pressure burst out from Goto Ichiri's body, and white light spread from her body. The gray world covered an area with a radius of one kilometer. The huge Godzilla doll crushed a single-family house. Goto Jiri, Goto Naoki, and Goto Michiyo were pushed far away by Goto Ichiri's spiritual pressure.

"Please listen to the new song - the self-playing and singing version of 'Live and Die'."

A giant guitar was taken out from somewhere, and Bosla played it with deep emotion, while her beautiful singing echoed under the vast sky.

Chapter 15: Dusk. I used to be a sorcerer.

Shin Godzilla publicly performs "Live and Die."

The number of Godzilla cult followers has exceeded 50.

[Z's world? Is there really a hell in this world?]

[The United Nations stipulates that the real-name system for the Internet will be implemented immediately, and people should be cautious when speaking online.]

【Cyber violence is unacceptable, and moral literacy needs to be taken seriously.】

[Will those eliminated by Goto Ichiri die in the real world? ]

……

The world became lively, and for many days in a row, Goto Ichiri was the protagonist on the online platform.

After the Eastern Government announced the results of the analysis, the number of Godzilla worshippers gradually approached one million, Internet control became stricter, and riots broke out in countries around the world. The ban on provoking Goto Ichiri was almost written into the law.

Even within a 10-kilometer radius around the Goto family, all the residences and shops were replaced by Godzilla worshippers and official forces.

Every day when Goto Ichiri went out, he was crowded with pilgrims from all directions. It was only thanks to the police that order was maintained and the road was not blocked.

In a sense, Goto Ichiri has achieved his life goal.

but……

"If this continues, the band will be finished!"

Ijichi Hongxia held her head in her hands and screamed madly.

Goto Ichiri quietly got into the trash can.

Kita Ikuyo scratched her cheek with her fingers and gave a somewhat awkward smile.

Yamada Ryoumen remained calm, staring at the ceiling, thinking about what to eat next.

"There are so many people coming to the performance hall every day, but few of them really want to see us perform. Pochi-chan is being stared at by all those people, and she can't really show her true strength at all."

The biggest problem that the Bond band is facing now is that the number of fans has increased a hundredfold or a thousandfold, but not many of them really watch their performances.

The not-so-clean gaze made Pochi-chan very nervous, and she almost transformed into Godzilla several times.

Ultimately, audiences prefer watching Godzilla to watching Bond.

Ijichi Hongxia said, "Everyone, please give us your opinions! What should we do next?"

Yamada Ryo raised his right hand. "Shall we start selling merchandise? Bosla dolls, 1 yen each, and autographed ones, 5 yen each."

Ichichi Hongxia slapped Yamada Ryo's hand and said, "No, we shouldn't be thinking about making money right now."

Kita Ikuyo said with a wry smile, "We can only wait until the heat passes."

Because Kita Ikuyo appeared in the video, her popularity in school exploded, and she would encounter reporters whenever she left the school or home.

Even though Kita Ikuyo likes to communicate with people, she really can't hold on any longer.

The same goes for Ijichi Nikka, but Yamada Ryo is not worried about this problem at all because she is good at playing dumb and reporters can't pose any problem to her.

Yamada Ryo said calmly, "It's going to be hard to get over the heat, right? Unless someone can overshadow Pochi-chan."

Ijichi Hongxia raised her head and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, but who can surpass Godzilla?"

Yamada Ryo said bluntly: "Akasha Records, or Akashic Records, Book of Life, Akashic Files, that database that records the past and future."

Ichichi Hongxia lay on the table and said weakly, "But no one knows when that thing called the Akashic Records will play a new video. Sigh!"

It was getting late at Fujie's house.

Anya and Bond sat in front of the TV, watching the adventure animation "Spy Wars", without blinking, with extremely focused attention.

Joel was washing dishes in the kitchen. Hunn walked into the living room with a towel and saw Anya still watching TV. She said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, didn't I say I was going to study? Be ready before I come out of the shower."

Anya was staring at the TV intently, ignoring Huanghun completely.

Dusk sighed and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Suddenly, the animation was interrupted and Anya opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Dad, the TV is broken!"

Huanghun's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously looked back. The TV screen was getting dim.

This scene reminded Huanghun of the day when the Akashic Records appeared a week ago.

Just as Huang Hun thought, a line of text appeared on the completely dark screen.

Akashic Records

"Has it appeared again?"

Dusk frowned.
