To deal with Tomie, Fang Zheng did not need any special strategies or methods. On the contrary, his approach was very simple and direct.
That is - breaking into an empty house!
“Boom!”
Fang Zheng kicked the locked door open and strode into the room. Hearing the noise, a man rushed out and looked at Fang Zheng in horror.
"Who are you, you..."
"None of your business."
Without waiting for the man to finish his words, Fang Zheng waved his hand lightly, and the next moment the man flew backwards, hit his head against the wall and passed out.
However, at this moment, Tomie suddenly rushed out from the room and hugged Fang Zheng.
"Thank you, thank you! It's terrible. That man brought me here just now and wanted to attack me. I feel very uneasy..."
"Okay, stop acting in front of me."
Fang Zheng pushed the other person away coldly and stared at Tomie in front of him.
"Tell me, is the Silver Key in your possession?"
"Why?"
Faced with Fang Zheng's cold-blooded attitude, Tomie was obviously a little surprised. You know, all the men she met, no matter how rude or weak they were, no matter how old they were, would act like they had lost their souls when they met her. Even those men who were originally strong-willed would treat her very politely. How could they be like Fang Zheng?
"What are you talking about? I don't know..."
Tomie looked at Fang Zheng, showing a weak and ignorant look. Generally speaking, seeing her like this, those men would be confused by her, but Fang Zheng just sighed.
"Forget it, there's no point wasting time with you..."
Before she finished her words, Tomie suddenly saw several translucent octopus-like tentacles suddenly emerge from the dark shadows beside her. They swung around Tomie and wrapped around her body, quickly climbing upwards.
“Wait, wait, what is this…!?”
Looking at the tentacles in front of her, Tomie was shocked. However, before she could do anything else, she saw the tentacles had already grabbed her and slowly sank down. Soon, Tomie disappeared in the shadow of the floor.
"Haha...waste of time."
Fang Zheng glanced at his watch, shook his head, and turned to leave.
"Next."
That night, Fang Zheng was like a robber who broke into a house, looking for people everywhere. He arrested all the Tomies, and these Tomies themselves were not easy to mess with. They relied on their charm to attract many people. Some Tomies lived in men's homes, and some Tomies even hid in the homes of some wealthy families to pretend to be pitiful.
If it were an ordinary person in this world, perhaps there would be nothing they could do to her, but Fang Zheng...is it necessary for Fang Zheng to care about these things?
No matter if they were wealthy families, ordinary residents, or gangsters, they would just kick the door, grab the people, and leave without saying a word. If anyone dared to stop them, they would just knock them out. It was simple and convenient.
"I feel like I'm just swiping elves in the bushes."
Fang Zheng walked out of a door again and couldn't help but complain to Nymph.
"I keep turning around in the hope of getting a rare one, but now I don't even know if I can get one..."
“Master, come on!”
Facing Fang Zheng's complaints, Nymph clenched her fists and tried to cheer him up.
"Anything else?"
"No, all the biological signals that can be searched for are here."
"Thanks for your help."
Hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. They couldn't find Tomie before because no one knew who Tomie was or what she looked like, and more importantly, there was no matching biological signal. But now it's different. As long as Fang Zheng catches a Tomie, Nymph can use the other's biological signal to conduct a comprehensive scan. In this way, he can find other sources of the same signal. It is also because of this that Fang Zheng can easily catch all Tomie in less than half a night.
Next came the interrogation, however...
"It's all your fault! It's all you!!"
"Go to hell!"
"You should die!!"
"I am enough in this world, you are all fakes!"
"Nonsense, I am the real one and you are the fake one!"
I have a headache...
Standing in the abandoned factory, Fang Zheng held his forehead helplessly as he watched over forty Tomie who were bound by tentacles and still arguing with each other. He had thought that these guys would behave themselves after realizing their current situation, but he did not expect that they would still argue with each other even at this point.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also took a deep breath.
"Shut up, everyone!"
With a roar, Long Wei burst out instantly, and immediately subdued all the quarreling Tomie. However...
"Hey, you, you like me, right?"
Tomie, who was standing close to Fang Zheng, stared at him with a charming smile.
"How about it? Help me kill them, and I will be yours alone, okay?"
"Wait, you obviously love me!"
Hearing this, Tomie on the other side couldn't help it, and she also looked at Fang Zheng.
"I still remember the songs you sang. They were so beautiful. Have you forgotten them? Weren't you singing them for me?"
"Nonsense, I am your favorite... Follow my orders and kill them! I will be with you forever!"
“Haha…”
Looking at Tomie and the others who started to quarrel again, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.
"Shut up, you ugly bastards."
“…”
As Fang Zheng finished speaking, the originally noisy abandoned factory suddenly became dead silent. Every Tomie turned around, staring at Fang Zheng with eyes wide open in disbelief, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
"You, what did you say?"
"I said ugly, bitch."
Fang Zheng glanced coldly at Tomie in front of him. To be honest, with Fang Zheng's aesthetic sense, he really didn't think Tomie was that pretty. How to say it... Just like Qiuxiang in The Flirting Scholar, red flowers need green leaves to set off. You call her a beauty, and then see a normal person among a group of dinosaurs. At first glance, she is indeed a beauty.
In fact, the same goes for Saya. Saya is cute, but not to the point of being stunningly beautiful. However, for Ikuki Niosaka, in a world full of pieces of flesh and monsters, being able to see a normal, cute and beautiful girl is already an angel-like existence.
So, it all depends on the support from peers.
"With your face, you still have the nerve to think you are so beautiful? Look at your behavior, you are shameless and skinless. You are only suitable to seduce those fat otakus who are unwanted by others. Any normal man would not be interested in the likes of you."
Fang Zheng folded his arms, looked at Tomie and the others in front of him happily, and spoke word by word.
"Look at your ugly faces now. Tsk tsk tsk, even sows are better than you. How can you still think you are so beautiful? Is your comparison standard monkeys? Or gorillas? You have to compare yourself with chimpanzees to have confidence. How miserable is that..."
"Shut up!"
“Go to hell, go to hell!!”
At this moment, all the Tomie were like crazy, yelling at Fang Zheng. They screamed to vent their impotent rage, because Fang Zheng's words completely crushed their self-esteem. If it were somewhere else, these Tomie would definitely let other men kill Fang Zheng at all costs. However, now, they were all trapped here, bound by tentacles, and there was no other way except impotent rage.
"Forget it, why should I waste my time with you guys?"
Fang Zheng shook his head and then snapped his fingers.
The next moment, the situation began to change.
The tentacles that bound Tomie began to fork. They rotated and stretched, just like branches and leaves separating. Then, the thin tentacles, which seemed to be as thick as a thread, entangled together, slowly climbed up along Tomie's neck, all the way to her ears, and then suddenly drilled inward.
At this moment, Tomie, who was roaring and cursing, suddenly stopped. Her eyes widened, her body trembled constantly, her eyes rolled back, her mouth opened wide, her tongue hung out, saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, and her whole body twitched as if she had been electrocuted.
At the same time, tiny tentacles had penetrated into the brain through the eardrum and began to extract everything from it.
This is the touch of the extradimensional dimension.
After burning Cthulhu, Fang Zheng gained Cthulhu's ability to erode, absorb, and observe other people's memories. Generally speaking, Fang Zheng is not willing to use this skill, but it depends on the object. For someone like Tomie, there is naturally no psychological burden or moral problem for Fang Zheng to use her as an experimental subject.
However……
"No?"
Fang Zheng carefully checked the brains of all the Tomies present and was surprised to find that none of them had the Silver Key, and each Tomie believed that some other Tomie held the Silver Key!
What's going on?
Could there be some fish that slipped through the net?
"Nymph, are you sure all the Tomie are here?"
Fang Zheng looked at the Tomies in front of him and asked softly.
"I am very sure that no similar biological signals have been found in the entire Japan."
Did you go abroad? Impossible. This is not the era when you can travel around the world in a week. Japan doesn't even have a Shinkansen now.
However, when Fang Zheng delved into Tomie's memories again, he discovered another problem.
That is, no Tomie remembers why she wants the Silver Key!
Logically, what usually happens is that I hear about something, I want to do something with it, so I want to get it.
However, in the memories of these Tomies, the middle thought of "I want to do something with this thing" disappeared, as if it was erased abruptly, so that these Tomies only thought about "I want to get the Silver Key", but they had no memory of "what to do with it"!
However, Fang Zheng still learned from Tomie's memories how they knew the Silver Key - it was indeed Dr. Ogai Masahiko's fault. The doctor conducted experiments on Tomie, but he himself was fascinated by Tomie and accidentally revealed the secret of the Silver Key. He once showed the key in front of Tomie.
Fortunately, the doctor at that time had lived with Saya for a period of time, so he had some resistance to this aspect and did not say it very clearly, but Tomie obviously still remembered it.
"A bunch of rubbish."
After carefully investigating the memories of these Tomies, Fang Zheng shook his head and snapped his fingers. Soon, bright red flames appeared again and burned all of the Tomies to ashes, leaving no ashes.
"Have you found any clues, Master?"
"No, we seem to be a step late... Well, but there are other ways..."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment.
"Nymph."
"Yes, Master, what's the matter?"
"You have recorded Saya's biological signals, right?"
"Yes."
"Very good. Mix Saya's biological signal with Tomie's biological signal, and then conduct a comprehensive scan of Japan and its surrounding areas to see if we can find any clues."
"clear!"
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's order, the little angel immediately spread her wings and quickly flew high into the sky. She looked at the dark earth below, and her eyes quickly began to spin, flashing with electronic light. After dozens of minutes, Nymph turned her head and looked into the pitch-black distance.
"A weak signal response has been detected."
"Oh? Where?"
"Pacific Ocean."
"……Um?"
