Chapter 236: Neon Country: Evil God
Misawa City, Sato family.
Mrs. Sato finished work at eight o'clock in the evening as usual. She opened the door tiredly and found the room was pitch dark.
Every time I come home lately, it's pitch black.
Hmm? Is it recently? It seems to have been going on for a long time...
In the past, Jianyi would sit quietly in the brightly lit living room, doing his homework while waiting for his family to return.
Since when did the child start to stay in his room and not come out?
"Kenichi? Are you in your room?" Mrs. Sato turned on the light in the living room, took off her shoes and walked towards Kenichi Sato's room. "Have you had dinner? Did you buy your own lunch?"
There was silence in Sato Kenichi's room.
"Kenichi?" Mrs. Sato knocked on the door. "Are you in the room? Can I come in?"
There was no response. Mrs. Sato hesitated for a moment and put her hand on the door handle.
"Mom...Mom." The son's familiar voice sounded from inside the room, but for some reason the voice sounded a little slow.
"Kenichi? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." The door was opened a crack. The light on the boy's bedroom door was not on, and the light from the living room shone through the narrow gap. Mrs. Sato only saw part of the boy's face that was exposed through the gap.
"I want to... go to sleep." The boy in the room said vaguely.
"Oh, really." Mrs. Sato withdrew her hand. "Isn't it too early to go to bed at this time? Um... Mom and Dad have been very busy with work recently and haven't been able to take care of Kenichi. I'm really sorry. Kenichi's birthday is coming soon. When the time comes..."
"I want to sleep." The boy stared at Mrs. Sato with his round eyes and repeated it again.
"Oh... really? Then... good night." Mrs. Sato had just finished speaking when the door slammed.
Mrs. Sato sighed slightly and left.
As she left her son's bedroom, she didn't know that the boy who had just spoken to her was not the real Kenichi Sato, but a ghost who had just grown half of his body.
The real Sato Kenichi was lying on the bed, his eyes wide open staring at the starry sky outside the window, but his neck was terribly twisted and he was no longer alive.
The evil god Kenichi walked to the bed. The left half of its body had not yet fully formed. It stroked Sato Kenichi's face with its twisted arm, and then a mouth appeared in the palm of its hand, starting to gnaw at the boy's head.
"Friends..." the evil god Jianyi muttered.
It knows this word, a term that Jianyi is very obsessed with. It doesn't understand what friends mean. It has a very superficial understanding of friends from Jianyi's description of friends, and believes that friends are "always together and will never leave."
If Jianyi wants it to be a friend, then it will be a friend.
"Let's stay together forever and never leave." The monster devoured Kenichi, and the eaten part quickly made up for the missing part. The left half of the body immediately took shape, and the monster's appearance became Kenichi's.
In fact, it didn't plan to take action so early, but its clone died and a powerful monster was chasing it, so it had to devour the food as quickly as possible to make itself stronger.
The Jianyi standing in front of it was its reserve food, but it was just eaten in advance.
"We are together now, Jianyi." The evil god touched his face in the mirror and laughed.
Then he looked at the stars outside the window. The strange power fluctuations generated after swallowing Jianyi just now would definitely be discovered. The guys who ate its clone would soon catch up with it, so it had to leave here.
The boy with the appearance of Jianyi opened the window and ran away.
As for Sato's mother in the living room, she was not within the God's consideration. Food could be found anywhere, so it was better to leave here as soon as possible.
In the living room, Sato's father just opened the door and came back, and saw Mrs. Sato kneeling in the living room, eating cold dishes with a depressed look on her face.
"What's wrong? Are you too tired from work?"
"No, it's Kenichi... Have we been neglecting that child too much recently?" Mrs. Sato said, holding her chin with one hand. "I came back tonight and talked to that child. He looked at me with such cold eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger."
"Hmm? Is that so? I'll go talk to him."
"He's asleep, don't wake him up."
"Tsk, it's not easy for us either. I'll come back early tomorrow and have a good talk with that brat." Sato's father sat down and said, having no idea what kind of despair would be waiting for them in the future.
When the Evil God devoured Kenichi Sato, the evil power fluctuations emitted were captured in time by the Salvation System, and the insect cocoon was informed immediately.
"Host! A strange power wave above A-level, close to S-level, has appeared! In Misawa City!"
Chongju: "Yes, I see. It seems that it is definitely Misawa City. But it is above A-level, close to S-level. What level is it? Can you be more precise?"
"To be more precise...if we devour more humans, we will be S-level?"
"I see, that means it's quasi-S-rank." Chongxu frowned, "It's a bit difficult for me to do it alone."
Especially if the target is of the type that can create clones and hide.
"Host, do you want to call for help?"
The cocoon was silent.
Call for help, who should I call?
Who does he have a good relationship with in the entire Light Organization?
Although they are all one soul.
But as they've been wearing the vests for longer and longer, their personalities have begun to deviate. Although their goals haven't changed, and their obedience to their original bodies hasn't changed, but... as a cocoon, he really doesn't get along well with the other vests.
Don't consider the paper man and the crow first. If you ask them for help, you will definitely be laughed at first, and you will probably be talked about for the rest of your life unless this vest is destroyed.
Qin Xiaocao and Wumiantong were both children, so they didn't want to ask them for help. It didn't seem like Tong and Ariel's powers would be useful here.
Li Tu...will definitely be able to help.
But if the fake rabbit had come to help, there would be no need for the next day. As soon as he called for help, he would have written down the details of the incident and told all the sock puppets. He would then emphasize in front of the original body how useless the cocoon was. His own territory, right under his nose, had allowed an A-level monster to be promoted to S-level.
The crow also has a big mouth.
It would definitely cost me to seek help from the Curse Priest and Bai Yixin. I would probably have to trade points, which was not a big deal. However, Bai Yixin and the Curse Priest were a profiteer and a filthy person, so it would be unreasonable for me not to take advantage of this opportunity to make a killing.
After searching around, besides the original body, only Shamon of the Invisible Son is left. Is that good?
Moreover, whether it is the leader vest of the original body or Shamon's invisible son vest, they are all weird identities exceeding S level, so there is absolutely no problem in suppressing the weirdness here.
"Host, do you want to contact other accounts?" asked the salvation system.
After pondering for a long time, Chongjue made a decision: "Contact Shamon."
If Shamon can't help, find another alias.
He must not disturb the original body. He would rather be laughed at by Li Tu and the others than make the original body make a special trip because of his incompetence.
"Is it because we haven't penetrated this land enough?" Chongju muttered to himself, "It turns out that the system has flaws. The Hundred Butterflies Association should really make good use of it."
A flawed rescue system: QAQ
It has worked hard!
It has to keep an eye on the entire world while supporting the host and all the aliases, maintaining the operation of the website and software, and the supply of the mall. It's like a whole system that can't be split into several parts. This is what 007 is talking about. Don't be so strict with it, okay!
Of course, the cold nature of the insect coop will not comfort the system. As expected, only the original body Qingtong can find a little warmth.
Well, a little bit.
"Oh, host, that place where the strange power fluctuations are generated..." The salvation system said with a lack of confidence, "Do you still want to go and take a look?"
"It's useless to look. If that thing has really become a quasi-S-level, it means that it has already acquired a human-like body. It is absolutely impossible for it to just stay where it is. So if we go now... it's probably too late." Chongjue thought for a while and said, "Let's go and take a look. System, transmit."
The next second, the boy disappeared into the woods.
*
On the train to Misawa City.
The Birdwing Butterfly and the Dead Leaf Butterfly were sitting together. The Birdwing Butterfly had a black eye on its right eye, and the Dead Leaf Butterfly had a swollen left cheek.
The couple sitting opposite them didn't dare to look at them directly, thinking they were some bad boys from somewhere.
"You're so ruthless, every blow hits my face." Birdwing Butterfly said, "Are you jealous of my handsome looks?"
The dead leaf butterfly looked down at the phone and said, "How can you be handsome? At most, you have regular facial features. There are many members who are prettier than you, such as Helena Morpho."
"Ah——" Birdwing Butterfly sneered, "It should be called the Light Goddess Flash Butterfly, obviously this name is more popular."
"Because he's a man?" said the dead leaf butterfly, raising its head.
The bird-winged butterfly chuckled and said, "Forget it. The beaded butterfly is worse off anyway."
(On the train going in the other direction, Beaded Butterfly kept pulling down her hat and cursed in her heart: Next time I will definitely kill that pervert Birdwing Butterfly...)
Leaf Butterfly: "It is not gentlemanly to continually pull women's hair."
Birdwing Butterfly turned her head and said, "You're talking as if you didn't do anything."
After saying that, he opened the weird live broadcast software on his phone: "We will arrive in Misawa City soon, right? Should we split up then?"
"Our job is to find out the information of that family. The address given is the same. Why do we need to act separately?" Before the dead leaf butterfly finished speaking, his ears moved slightly, and the little butterfly hiding in his collar spoke.
Of course, the young butterfly on the birdwing butterfly also conveyed the message of the cocoon.
"Change of action, target is upgraded from A-rank to S-rank, inform all members of the Hundred Butterflies Club, Misawa City is about to become a battlefield—"
The faces of the Birdwing Butterfly and the Dead Leaf Butterfly changed color.
"I won a prize in Misawa City." Birdwing Butterfly had a strange smile on her face, "It's just that the prize is a bit big, I don't dare to accept it."
Dead Leaf Butterfly quickly edited the message and sent it to the phone of the president of the Hundred Butterflies Association.
