Chapter 1

Recently, the police discovered a newborn demon from hell in an area where humans are active. The demon's attributes and abilities are unknown. Since the demon has not shown any aggressive behavior, the police decided to first approach it in a peaceful manner.

As a result, all the Devil Hunters sent there without exception showed signs of losing control of their emotions. The specific manifestations were: two people who originally disliked each other suddenly became sticky, the person who was originally taciturn suddenly became unrestrained, and the original workaholic suddenly wanted to see the world and proposed to resign...

For several times in a row, the depth of the new devil was not explored, and the Public Security Anti-Magic and Special Sections 1, 2, and 3 fell into chaos. When the Anti-Magic and Special Section 4 took over, it decided to use force directly.

However, the armed action against the Magic Special Section 4 also failed. Those demon hunters who were full of fighting spirit before the departure seemed to have been enlightened when they came back. When asked about the situation, they only said one sentence: "As soon as I saw him, I didn't want to fight at all..."

Finally, information about the new devil was delivered to Makima.

Name: Ling Yi

Attribute: Emotional Demon

Personality: Naughty (from the evaluation of the police) / Gentle (from the evaluation of contacts, credibility needs to be verified)

Ability: Mental attack such as emotional control

Strength: Unknown (No one has successfully fought it yet)

Danger Index: SSS

Solution: Eliminate the hazard

Machima is a demon hunter directly under the Cabinet, and is also a dominant demon with unfathomable power. She usually handles difficult demon cases.

After scanning the information, Machima went to meet Ling Yi at the location provided by the intelligence. This new emotional demon looked like a young boy. Whether it was his short silver hair, almost transparent ice-colored eyes, or delicate facial features, he gave people a very pure and harmless feeling, making it difficult for people to associate him with the dangerousness of 3S.

Machima has no prejudice against demons. Perhaps because of this, she did not have the idea of ​​not wanting to take action like the previous demon hunters. As soon as the two sides met, she tried to use her ability. However, perhaps because emotions themselves are irrational and easily out of control, Machima found that she could not control the emotional demon.

Perhaps noticing her behavior, the Emotional Demon who had been observing her curiously suddenly spoke up: "Why do humans prefer love and dislike hostility? They are all about emotions."

"Because hostility is often accompanied by harm." Machima couldn't help but frown, and her expression became a little colder than at the beginning. She was sure that the moment she heard the other party's question, she had no intention of answering, but the fact was that before she realized it, her thoughts or emotions changed, forcing her to give an answer.

The boy's hair was slightly curled, falling on his forehead and cheeks. His eyes were pure and innocent. "So, you came to me just to hurt me?"

Machima has confirmed the harmfulness of the emotional demon, but she has no intention of covering up the danger. In order to avoid involuntary emotional changes, she gave a very direct answer this time: "Just eliminate the danger."

Even though he was considered a threat to be eliminated, the silver-haired boy's expression did not change at all. Just like the evaluation given by all those who had come into contact with him, his attitude was always gentle and soft: "I'm just interested in emotions."

"Your interests have caused confusion." Machima also stated the facts calmly.

“Are those chaos?”

Makima nodded in affirmation. "So can you please stop what you're doing?"

"No." In contrast to his gentle expression, Ling Yi's attitude of rejection was very firm, "For me, emotions are as indispensable as air."

Machima pursed her lips and confronted the person in front of her without saying a word.

Ling Yi seemed to be unaware of the change in the atmosphere, and innocently and nonchalantly expressed his doubts: "Humans are really strange. They obviously don't like 'hostility', but they always produce this kind of emotion."

"I am not human." Makima corrected Ling Yi's words.

"Well, then add most of the demons." Ling Yi also added to his words.

"Most of them, excluding yourself?"

"Yes." Ling Yi nodded in affirmation, "All emotions should not be treated differently."

From the moment they met, Machima's eyes never left Ling Yi. It is undeniable that no matter whether she used her ability to control him or later told the police the truth, the boy's expression remained the same, just like what he said at this moment, all emotions were equal in his eyes, he would not hate an enemy who attacked him, nor would he favor a lover who had feelings for him.

The information provided by the public security department was greatly inaccurate. The newborn demon in front of him was neither mean nor gentle. Just like his icy eyes showed, he looked very clear at first glance, but if you got a little closer, you could feel a kind of empty coldness.

Such a person cannot be controlled, and no one can even regard him as an enemy if he wishes. The failure of the Anti-Magic Special Unit 4 is the best proof of this.

The emotional demon in front of her was like an unsolvable problem, and her purpose in coming here was to solve it. Machima closed her eyes and thought, remembering an infinite game that had asked her to help with the internal testing not long ago. Although the game content was not interesting to her, it seemed that it could be used to solve Ling Yi's problem.

"I know a place that's perfect for you," said Makima.

"Where?"

The Infinite Game Department has recently expanded a new project - "Infinite Comics". System 599 is the intelligent system responsible for this project. It has undergone two internal tests and the evaluation results are as follows:

Beta test player Saitama: ★☆☆☆☆It ended before we even had time to warm up.

Beta test player Machima: ★☆☆☆☆ A weak dog, not worth collecting.

Looking at such negative reviews, 599 deduced and found that the new project would fail and it would be destroyed!

After discovering this, 599 prepared for the final internal test with tears in its eyes. This time, it was very cautious in selecting the internal test targets and was even unable to make a choice at one point. At this time, a silver-haired boy suddenly appeared in front of it.

"Who are you?"

"A demon lady introduced me here." Ling Yi looked at the data ball in front of him curiously, "I heard that it's very interesting here, and I can use my abilities at will?"

599 had just been defeated by the first two powerful beta testers, so it couldn't bear to hear such words at this moment. It subconsciously denied it, but when it looked into the boy's clear eyes, a sense of trust arose spontaneously, which made it tell the truth directly. Perhaps it was because the boy still gave it a sense of security. In addition to introducing the rules of the game, 599 also sadly told him the sad reality that he might be destroyed.

"Make a contract with me and I will help you solve the problem." The young man's voice soothed Tong Xin gently. The system was dazed, and by the time it reacted, it had already been tied up...

"Next, let's start the first game." Ling Yi communicated with 599.

"But we still have a chance for a closed beta test."

"Infinite Comics" will be broadcast live on a high-level plane in order to gain popularity. In 599's view, internal testing is an opportunity to adjust and correct errors. If the game is opened directly and the popularity value cannot meet the standard during settlement, then it as a system and the host bound to the system are in danger of being destroyed.

Ling Yi reached out his hand and touched the data light ball of the system: "It doesn't matter, we can start like this."

As Ling Yi finished speaking, 599's uneasiness and worry suddenly disappeared, as if someone had extracted these two things from its data. It, which had been hesitant at first, directly opened the game copy interface.

As the name suggests, the players of "Infinite Anime" are characters from different anime worlds, and the game copies will also select parallel worlds of the anime world. Of course, not every parallel world can be requisitioned. The parallel worlds that can be used as game copies must be those that have been destroyed or are on the verge of destruction.

The emergence of parallel worlds is usually due to uncontrollable variables in the main world, such as certain characters suddenly turning evil, people who should have died surviving, or people who should have survived dying unexpectedly. Like the butterfly effect, these tiny variables from one person give rise to a new world. However, such parallel worlds are usually extremely unstable, so there are many worlds on the brink of destruction.

Ling Yi browsed through the data provided by the system and finally chose a venue that he liked.

Desolate streets, dilapidated high-rise buildings, a few unknown monsters crawling around, and the sharp sound of the wind whistling past like a mournful cry...

Ling Yi looked up at the waning sun in the sky, and the crack in time and space that had opened up in mid-air.

“That’s really bad.”

"Lingling, is this world too difficult?" 599 started to worry again. The world difficulty is not the game difficulty, but the system needs to backtrack to a certain extent in the damaged parallel world when the game is opened. Usually, the more serious the damage to the world, the more backtracking energy is required, and this energies need to be replenished with the popularity points gained from live broadcasts.

Popularity is the performance of the system. If too much is used to replenish energy, the final performance may be unsatisfactory at 599.

"Then let's just trace back part of the area." Ling Yi turned his head and looked in one direction, led 599 forward, and finally stopped in front of a school.

The school plaque that read "Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School" had many spider-web-like cracks on it and looked like it was about to fall down.

"Let's go here." Ling Yi faced the campus that had obviously been baptized by disaster. The corners of his mouth curved upward in a slight arc, and his eyes seemed to pass through the physical buildings in front of him and fall on some illusory existence.

It really doesn't cost much to go back to a small area, but the game area is narrow, which may affect the fun and make the audience dissatisfied. 599 wants to remind Ling Yi, but at this moment, it suddenly detects that a huge amount of data in the parallel world has suddenly migrated. It didn't catch any trace of the incident in an instant...

Although 599 is an infinite game system, it does not have a strong heart. The inexplicable incident just now made it feel uneasy.

"Ling Ling..." 599 subconsciously wanted to get closer to Ling Yi, whom it trusted, but found that Ling Yi also showed abnormality.

"Lingling, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm?" Ling Yi's reaction was a little slow. He blinked, and a stream of light flashed across his glass-colored pupils, refocusing on the reality.

He stretched out a finger and wiped the corner of his eye, with a tear lingering on the tip of his finger.

"Are you asking this?" Ling Yi stared at the crystal water droplets on his fingertips. "It's just that the emotion I just received was too extreme and intense, so this body couldn't help but produce a physiological reaction."

"Emotion?"

"Well, it's because this world has lost the feeling of a home." Ling Yi flicked his fingers lightly, and the water droplets gathered on his fingertips turned into dots of light and dissipated into the air. "In order to find a home for them, 599 start the game."
