I am Jinshan Youxia

After a large number of deaths among high-ranking Japanese officials, Japan ultimately recovered quickly with the support of the United States and China.

Humanity cannot withstand any more turmoil.

Takano became a member of the Investigation Bureau who knew the truth during this reshuffle of the Japanese high command, and was sent by the director to investigate the core area of ​​a large, uncontrolled region nearby:

Magic Mountain Town.

Even the county-level investigation bureau here is no longer providing accurate information, and his former superior is among them...

If it truly is some kind of 'outlier' that has spread over a large area, he is the last resort. Once he also loses contact, or spreads false information while mentally distorted, the US military will begin to take action and seal off the [infectious disease area].

"Good luck."

Takano looked at himself in the rearview mirror and said softly.

"Long live humanity!"

Chapter 316 Preparing for the Relocation

Mazan-cho, back mountain, in front of Mazan Tunnel.

"This thing might be a bit troublesome."

Zhang Chengyi stared at the tunnel, his face contorted in a grimace. Then, with a thud, his face snapped open, steam hissing as he looked away.

Please use 500 words to analyze his feelings at this moment.

As the human souls harvested from Baisha Village began his first transformation, he also suddenly realized that this was not the first time he had used mold on a large scale to kill humans.

The first one should be the Demon Mountain Tunnel.

But none of the thousands of souls that died inside the Demon Mountain Tunnel were absorbed by him.

In other words, the "high-speed travel" inside the Demon Mountain Tunnel is not as simple as it seems. This rule may have a special effect when applied to harvesting minds, so that even if a person is killed by him after being twisted to the extreme, the mind still does not belong to him.

It is likely that the interaction between two out-of-control rules under his forceful push led to the unexpected situation.

But Zhang Chengyi didn't know exactly how to do it, because the previous "high-speed driving" hadn't harvested any human hearts, so there was no past information.

It was with his help that the "high-speed driving," which shouldn't have been able to harvest hearts according to the rules, managed to induce a large wave of hearts to fall into a dormant state.

It's very simple to read the information: find someone who dies in a car accident in a tunnel, reactivate the "high-speed driving" effect around them, interact with them, and you'll be able to read why this out-of-control rule was able to overtake the mold.

However, while activation is easy, deactivation may not be so simple.

Who knows what kind of monstrosity these mutated, out-of-control rules might evolve into? If he can't solve it and it spreads to the entire highway, that would be a nightmare.

"From now on, we can no longer use mold to kill humans who are controlled by other out-of-control rules."

Zhang Chengyi sighed. He had sighed countless times since he logged into this world; the bizarre worldview was driving him crazy.

His specialty is usually developing his strength, surpassing his limits with cheat codes, and then sweeping through everything. This applies to everything from martial arts to fantasy to xianxia to xuanhuan to western fantasy. However, he finds the bizarre type of worlds the most difficult, yet these kinds of worlds are very worth exploring.

He frowned and turned to Goro Furuhata, who was following not far away, and said, "Strengthen the blockade of the Demon Mountain Tunnel. No one should be able to enter or leave through here in the future."

If he can't afford to offend him, can't he at least avoid him?

"Yes, Your Highness," Goro Furuhata replied respectfully.

The origin of this title is quite complicated. It mainly comes from the fact that as more people have come to know about Zhang Chengyi's existence, the extraordinary bacteria have recently spread in large numbers in nearby villages, towns, and cities, and some people have formed sects that worship the lord of the bacteria.

To briefly describe what they did, they would collectively go to places that hadn't yet been infected by mold to preach and spread their teachings. Then, in dark factory buildings, they would baptize newcomers with extraordinary bacteria, expelling wriggling mold from their pores and stuffing it into the newcomers' mouths...

Both the visuals and the actual situation are incredibly bizarre.

This led to a large number of people coming to worship him as a god. Zhang Chengyi was quite annoyed by people calling him a god, but the title of "great hero" is usually translated as "master" or "senpai" in Japanese. Considering that "master" cannot be used alone and "senpai" is too offensive, the compromise title he came up with was "Your Highness".

Currently, all infected individuals who have acquired the extraordinary bacterial flora refer to him as "Your Highness".

"Buzz~ Buzz~"

The two had only taken a few steps when Goro Furuhata's phone rang. At Zhang Chengyi's nod, he answered the call.

"Moshi moshi".

"Hi."

"I understand."

Goro Furuhata listened for a while, then hung up the phone and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, we have confirmed through information from the Demon Mountain in the neighboring city that Kikugami and Sand God were indeed the families who pushed for the Seven Sons to be given new names. According to the information, there were three families at the time..."

It wasn't a pitiful child seeking revenge; it was all a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Zhang Chengyi felt a bit numb at the same time that this dark story was both reasonable and unexpected.

How many kind people in this world die tragically and become evil spirits seeking revenge, only to have their vengeful resentment become a tool for others to exploit?

However, are there only two of the three families in Baisha Village?

After recounting the origins of Shirasa Village, Goro Furuhata's eyes held a hint of sorrow. Without His Highness, the final outcome would still have been the wicked escaping unscathed while the good suffered in silence.

Thinking of this, his expression became even more reverent.

Zhang Chengyi pretended not to see it.

Goro Furuhata continued, "Your Highness, an intelligence agent from the Public Security Investigation Bureau has arrived near Demon Mountain Town. Should we..."

Simply being infected with fungus will not affect a person's self-awareness and logical thinking. Only the implantation of extraordinary microbial communities will create an irresistible mentality towards the master of the microbial community.

His point was whether or not to forcibly implant supernatural bacteria into intelligence personnel, using orders to prevent them from leaking information about Demon Mountain Town.

This line of thinking is normal for him now that he has recovered his mental state.

That's just how humans are; when it comes to eliminating those who are different, they never hesitate to use any coercive or even cruel methods.

Zhang Chengyi shook his head and said, "Let him be. We can't hide our intelligence. We should speed up our expansion and choose those who are willing to join us. There's no need to force others."

"Tell the church to tone it down and stop using coercion and bribery to lure people into joining."

"Also, the next batch of microbial community test subjects should not be brought to Demon Mountain Town. Starting tomorrow, everyone should evacuate the vicinity of Demon Mountain in an orderly manner."

“I’m thinking about where to move to…” A map of Japan in this world appeared in his mind.

"N City, this is it, let's move to N City."

Although the name sounds a bit strange, it's already the nearest major city.

-----------------

Within the sealed-off Demon Mountain.

"Swish"

A man with a cold expression parted the grass and looked at the terrifying-looking Baisha Village on the mountainside, a hint of surprise on his face.

The underground blood vessels pulsated continuously, yet despite his human-like appearance, not a single drop of blood flowed from him.

The man strolled through the fields outside the village, stepping on the dense veins of the ground as he entered. When he arrived at the shrine and saw two emaciated corpses, one large and one small, covered in mold, his surprise turned into mockery, revealing two sharp canines.

"Are Chrysanthemum God and Sand God both dead? What a bunch of idiots."

"They actually brought other 'outcasts' into the village. The Mountain is an outcast that's not even finished yet. What a pity..."

He spoke softly, took out a round, blood-red fruit from his pocket, took a bite, and as it sloshed around in his throat, the fruit turned into streams of blood that flowed into his body.

After washing the fruit in his hands, the man licked the bloodstains from his lips and looked at the mold-infested corpse with a regretful gaze.

"There aren't many fruits left. It looks like we'll have to create a blood field nearby."

He turned and left.

Chapter 317 Praise to the Lord of the Microbiome

Magic Mountain Town.

It seems like there's nothing wrong...

Having successfully infiltrated the building, Takano, dressed as a plumber, crouched on the rooftop diagonally opposite the Mazan Town Hall, peering inside through binoculars.

He was completely unaware that two men dressed in police uniforms were looking down at him with indifferent expressions from high above.

[The government departments are still operating normally, but they have ignored the instructions of the higher-level government and forcibly issued an order to abolish the reconstruction of the Moshan section of the highway, and claimed that they do not need funding from the higher-level government. This is problematic no matter how you look at it.]

Takano took out his notebook and compared the names of the people working in the government departments one by one. He quickly noticed something was wrong.

In one photo, a young man in his twenties was seen reviewing documents in the office of an elderly official, but the names on the desk remained unchanged.

Is someone using his name to work, or what?

Takano was somewhat uncertain, after all, the abilities of other beings are difficult to describe. Some of the files recorded abilities that were hard to believe, such as a woman who was immortal and attracted others to kill her, or a city without streets where endless thugs lived, and so on.

While it's unbelievable, it also reveals just how bizarre the abilities of these outcasts really are. Making someone younger is probably just an extremely simple ability.

They look very alike, could they be father and son? But his son doesn't look like that.

[Follow him back and investigate]

After sending out the details of the operation via ciphertext via mobile phone, Takano patiently waited for the officials to leave work.

Out of boredom, he lit a cigarette and started puffing away.

After finishing two cigarettes and a bottle of water, the official across the street also packed up and left work.

Takano casually stubbed out his cigarette on the wall and tossed it into a bottle with some water left. He yawned, rubbed his cheeks, and then got up and took his toolbox downstairs.

After he left, the cigarette ash and the mineral water bottle containing the cigarette butt floated up with the wind and quickly fell into the trash can on the street, much faster than he went downstairs.

Faint conversations could be heard from the sky.

"It must be the latest type of psychic bacteria. I'm so envious that you were able to implant an S-level bacteria."

"The energy-dissipating bacteria are also very powerful. I heard from Furuhata that the prototype is that it can already lift a train car using energy-dissipating bacteria."

"But I need to touch things to affect them. Telekinesis is so cool."

"There's nothing we can do; your psychic microbiota compatibility is less than 20%."

"Damn it, I only thought it looked cool when Furuhata used it, but I never expected... Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have chosen to implant the microbiota. I could have signed up to be a microbiota test subject and awakened my own special microbiota."

"If you think about it this way, Noda in the first lesson signed up to be a microbiome test subject, and as a result, he awakened an ability to resist stench. Since the original microbiome of the prototype could not be completely eliminated, a full third of his mental power was used to resist the stench..."

"Hahaha, now that you say that, I feel much better."

"Alright, enough talk, that guy's already downstairs."
