Chapter 215 Cognitive Filters and What Ghostly Place Did They Go To?

"The air is so fresh, it feels great." It was a cool midnight hour. Fang Zheng sat alone on a bench in the corner of the park, gazing at the starry sky and breathing slowly.

His body is like a nested matryoshka doll, with the cube-shaped human body at its core and the outer shell of the World Sea Warship wrapped around it.

Although the World Sea Battleship wasn't covered by a suit, it was unilaterally regarded as an ordinary teenager in this world, matching his appearance.

Everything a boy of this age can feel—the freshness of the air, the coolness of the night breeze, the faint scents in the distance—is "imposed out of thin air" by this world on the information records of the World Sea Warship, transformed into words, and presented to Fang Zheng.

The boy stretched.

I feel comfortable and relaxed.

A night breeze blew by, and the boy in the thin clothes subconsciously shivered.

I'm a little cold.

My stomach rumbled in protest.

I am hungry.

Although this "hunger" is imposed unilaterally, let me add something.

Fang Zheng casually tossed out a bottle of healing potion, intending to recharge the shell that was unilaterally regarded as hungry.

……

His stomach was rumbling loudly, and the boy pressed his stomach, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Should we go find something to eat?"

"But I don't have any money on me, what should I do?" His gaze swept across the park and landed on the vending machine in the corner.

"What should we eat?"

The vending machine contains cigarettes, drinks, and even buckets of ramen.

Unfortunately, he had no money.

Bang! With a crisp sound, the tempered glass of the vending machine was smashed open by a punch.

The cup noodles were quickly scooped out, the noodles and seasonings were stuffed directly into the mouth and chewed dry, and a bottle of ice-cold beverage was gulped down.

He was eating heartily, completely unaware of the faint alarm sound.

Beep beep beep... At the Takihara City Police Station, the police officers on night duty were awakened by the noise.

"Sigh, what happened?" He rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned on his computer screen, and looked at the alarm notification from the surveillance camera.

"Good heavens!" He looked at the security camera footage with a strange expression. "This brat isn't home doing his homework or playing games at night, but instead comes to the park to smash vending machines?"

His eye twitched as he watched the punch, which flew almost in a blur. "It even shattered tempered glass? That's some power! I have to hit it hard!"

He grabbed the phone: "Hey, Yoshikawa, stop playing games, something's up! Be careful, this kid's a bit violent."

The police officer on duty at the park, Yoshikawa, watched the surveillance footage and his eyes twitched. He then called his colleague and rushed over.

Half an hour later...

The boy was taken to the police station, where he ate a steaming bowl of pork chop rice with gusto.

The police officer guarding him, Nomura, stroked his chin, watching the boy wolf down his second large bowl of pork cutlet rice in just a few minutes, and said to his colleague beside him, "Hey, do you think this little brat had a fight with his family and ran away from home?"

"It's the middle of the night, and they haven't had dinner yet, and they're dressed so lightly."

Officer Yoshimura frowned as he watched the child wolf down his food and whispered, "I don't think it's likely. This kid is eating too fast. How long has it been since he ate? We haven't heard any reports of missing children in the last couple of days."

"If you really have a fight with your family, they will definitely contact you, right?"

A hint of pity appeared on Yoshimura's face. "Sigh, could this child be an orphan whose family has all passed away, which is why no family members have come looking for him?"

"I remember there was a girl in our jurisdiction whose parents died in a car accident and who had no relatives to take care of her. She was quite pitiful."

He took out his phone: "Hey, Yoshikawa, have you found out any information about this child?"

In the guard room, Yoshikawa Nao searched repeatedly on the computer, then picked up his phone and replied, "Not yet. I've already searched Mitakihara, Kazamino, and several nearby cities, but I can't find a match."

"Is the facial recognition system broken? Please take another picture for me, and I'll try again."

"By the way, it's been so long, and you two still haven't found out the kid's name? It would be easier if you had a name filter."

Yoshimura shook his head and replied on his phone, "Not yet. That kid won't say. I scared him a few times, but he still won't give his name. He's just a little kid, not some thug. I can't exactly hit him."

"You should investigate further. These little brats are the most troublesome. Call his parents to pick him up as soon as possible to avoid any problems."

……

Inside the police station, Fang Zheng looked around at the scenery and at the two officers who had been guarding him, feeling quite curious.

"I just casually tossed in a healing potion, and it actually started moving on its own?"

"When I came into this world, I wasn't given a costume like Kurosaki Ichigo. I was just identified as human. But now, this form that was identified as human is actually acting on its own."

"What's this? Is it like the last world, automatically rendering background settings for me or something?"

After observing quietly for a while, watching "himself" wolf down three large bowls of rice, Fang Zheng stood up and walked out. "Thank you for the food, I'm leaving now."

"Hey! Kid, where are you going?" The officer reached out to grab him, but couldn't catch up with Fang Zheng's movements at all. "Hey! Stop right there, you little brat, you stole something, are you trying to run away?"

The officer quickly gave chase: "Stop, kid! You haven't contacted an adult to pay your fine yet! If you don't stop, we'll send you to juvenile detention!"

They had just caught a juvenile offender; if they let another juvenile offender escape right under their noses, they would definitely get a good scolding, and they might even lose their bonuses for the year.

Fang Zheng ignored them and walked straight out the door.

The two police officers who had just been striding forward to grab Fang Zheng suddenly slowed down.

His anxious and flustered expression suddenly calmed down, and he walked out chatting and laughing. One of the officers said, "Yoshimura, I heard you recently found a girlfriend? We're on duty tonight, tell me about her!"

Another officer said with great interest, "Ha, you're pretty quick on the ups. Let me tell you about my legendary love story! You're not getting any younger, you single dog, so learn from my experience and maybe you can pick up a girlfriend at the social gathering next month..."

Outside the door, Fang Zheng stopped listening to their voices. "Oh, you've already forgotten about me as soon as you're out of their sight?"

"Is it rendering completion again, modifying the original information?"

“No,” Fang Zheng said, running the Concerto and checking the molecular precision information of the two police officers.

While molecular-level information cannot be directly accessed in memory, it can still be used to screen for changes in their bodies.

Unlike the previous background completion feature, the information viewed in the concerto does not completely modify the historical information to conform to the current logic.

During their rapid pursuit from the moment they arrived, the slight amount of creatine they should have had in their bodies had not disappeared, because the urgency they felt upon seeing Fang Zheng escape from in front of them had not completely subsided, and their memories had not been significantly altered.

They probably still remember Fang Zheng, but they've simply overlooked him as a person. Fang Zheng seemed thoughtful. "Some kind of cognitive filter? Or some kind of alteration of common sense?"

"But why am I being ignored by them?" Fang Zheng looked at his hands, at the palms of this body.

"This world can unilaterally ignore the power that the World Sea Battleship should have, and unilaterally regard it as a boy with the same appearance."

"In terms of strength, at least excluding myself, this strength already overwhelms the capabilities of the World Sea Battleship."

"Under these circumstances, what need is there for ordinary people to ignore me?"

Fang Zheng was lost in thought as he strolled aimlessly down the street.

But suddenly...

call out!
A sharp whooshing sound came from behind.

The sound of something tearing through the air was sharp and urgent. Fang Zheng didn't even need to turn his head; the deadly threat was instantly locked onto him.

There's no need to orchestrate a molecular symphony; even a cellular symphony seems superfluous. It's simply about letting instinct drive the body.

The muscles suddenly tensed and then exploded, the feet twisted to gather power, the left foot slid and created a slight airflow, and the body flashed to the side.

Just as the spear tip was about to touch his back, he easily dodged the high-speed spear.

At the same time, his left hand swiftly gripped the gun barrel with a backhand, while his right arm lashed out like a whip, his muscles twitching at an incredible frequency, completely dissipating the enormous impact.

A crimson spear was thus firmly grasped in his hand.

Can……

"Huh?" Fang Zheng blinked, his gaze freezing instantly.

He discovered that he was not holding the spear; instead, the strange spear that should have been in his hand pierced his chest from behind.

The spear tip pierced through his body, pinning him firmly to the cold ground like an insect, rendering him unable to move.

In the next instant, countless dense yellow ribbons surged from all directions, wrapping and tightening around him like living things, binding him into an immobile rice dumpling.

The spear that pierced his chest caused no pain, and Fang Zheng felt no physical damage whatsoever, as if his body was simply being held in place by some invisible force.

The yellow ribbons that bind themselves like rice dumplings are the same; they exert force on the body itself but are not affected by any reaction force. The power that the body unleashes under the concerto has no target to oppose.

"It's another one-sided force..."

"Something like a graffiti monster?"

Curious, he immediately switched to observer mode, detached himself from the confined hull of the World Sea warship, and began to observe the attackers with great interest.

Footsteps echoed from the shadows of a corner alley, and a red-haired girl in red, with a slightly irritable expression, emerged.

“Mami Tomoe, I told you, testing her was unnecessary. She’s just an ordinary person marked by a familiar.”

The red-haired girl, Sakura Kyoko, pouted. "Why didn't we just solve it directly earlier? Why did I have to expend magic power for mental suggestion?"

Immediately afterwards, another blonde girl dressed in apricot yellow appeared, her tone tinged with worry.

“Sakura-san, no matter who’s been possessed, to minimize casualties, we should lure them to a secluded place to deal with them,” Mami Tomoe sighed. “Besides, your approach is too rough. What if innocent people get hurt?”

"So annoying!" Sakura Kyoko interrupted impatiently. "So what if I stabbed him with a gun? My Illusion Gun won't hurt any humans."

After saying that, the two girls stepped forward and carefully examined the square body that was firmly sealed.

Mami Tomoe paused for a moment, her expression turning serious: "Sakura-san, this is a very unusual situation. It's neither a witch's kiss nor a familiar possession, but rather a witch directly possessing a human."

"If we hadn't discovered it in time, it would have been terrible. Who knows how many people in Mitakihara City would have been dragged into the barrier and eaten by this witch."

"Oh?" Fang Zheng, in spectator mode, listened to their conversation with a hint of curiosity. "The clothes these two girls are wearing are similar to the clothes that disappeared from Kaname Madoka's corpse. Do they both possess some kind of special power?"

"And they actually called my body a witch? Witch's Kiss, familiar, witch, barrier... Could it be that these things they're talking about are those graffiti monsters and graffiti worlds?"

"In their eyes, is my World Sea Battleship's hull no different from those things?"

Seeing Mami Tomoe breathe a sigh of relief, Kyoko Sakura's annoyance turned to gloom, then she became irritable again: "So annoying! So annoying!"

"Mami Tomoe, you've always had this attitude! Several times we could have killed witches, but because you were worried about ordinary people, we didn't catch them, and we almost got hurt!" She stomped her foot. "Stop talking nonsense and deal with this guy!"

“Alright.” Mami Tomoe bit her lower lip, her face filled with sadness, but she forced a smile, clenching her fist and extending it forward. “Then, Sakura-san, if this is the last time we work together, let’s fight a beautiful battle!”

“You…” Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth and bumped fists with her. “This is the last time…”

The two placed their hands on the square body bound like a dumpling. As magic surged, a strange symbol appeared out of thin air. They pointed at it, and their figures vanished into thin air.

"Huh?" Fang Zheng, who had been observing them, was slightly taken aback. "What the heck? They're already inside?"

"Where did it go? Did it really sneak inside the World Sea Battleship?"

……

The ancient sacred mountain collapsed, the endless sea of ​​blood dried up, the starry sky shattered, and the Great Dao crumbled...

The moment Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura stepped into the witch's barrier, a series of dreamlike and incomprehensible scenes flashed before their eyes. This was the usual procedure for entering the witch's barrier, but this time, the scenes they saw seemed all too predictable.

When the changing scenery faded, what appeared before them was a world that resembled a fairyland yet also exuded a chilling atmosphere.

The ever-changing runes intertwine to form all things, towering like mountains into the clouds, and enormous weapons such as knives, swords, mirrors, and cauldrons stand at the ends of the earth.

Indescribable scriptures echoed endlessly between heaven and earth. One after another, tall, indistinct figures sat in temples in the sky, watching everything with the indifference of gods.

In the center of the temple, a massive ball of light composed of countless runes slowly rotated, with a pupil standing in the center, from which endless runes emanated.

"Sakura-san..." Mami Tomoe murmured softly.

"What's wrong?" Sakura Kyoko also became serious.

Mami Tomoe chuckled softly, "This time, it might be a little tricky... Can you keep up with my movements?"

"Of course!"

Immediately, the two partners, who were about to part ways but whose teamwork remained impeccable, rushed into that world of runes...

Out of curiosity, Fang Zheng followed and returned to the hull of the World Sea Battleship. However, he made an unexpected discovery on the control panel: in the vast universe that constituted the World Sea Battleship, there was no trace of any outsiders.

Only the constant stream of damage reports generated out of thin air is gradually dismantling the runic structure of the entire World Sea Battleship.

"No way, what kind of hellish place did you guys go into?!"
