I am Jinshan Youxia

Despite being a large village, the streets were deserted even in broad daylight.

Goro Furuhata and the four people behind him all became serious.

The Bat Woman's identity was not difficult to find out. She has a daughter in N City, who is currently under control. It has been confirmed that she has not been contaminated by the alien, but out of caution, she was still placed in an isolation room.

Following the clues from Shirabe Village, it was easy to discover that babies had been going missing all over the country for the past month or so, with nearly three hundred babies already missing, and the news was constantly reporting on it.

The police force did not treat the issue as an anomaly, which was being reported by the police system, and thus overlooked it.

A light, tinkling footstep came from around the corner, and Goro Furuhata's mind raced:

[Grasp, Inquire]

A standard anomaly investigation team consists of five people: two members skilled in controlling the situation, one with mental abilities, one offensive type, and one all-rounder as a supplement.

This ratio stems from the absoluteness of the rules held by the outcasts. Control is always more effective than killing. Whether it is telekinesis, energy dissipation, manipulating air, or manipulating soil, water, or plants, under suitable conditions, large-scale control can be achieved in an instant.

However, in situations where the circumstances are unclear, the best approach is to combine telekinesis with mental abilities.

A pale, expressionless, and cloudy-eyed gaunt middle-aged man walked over from the corner, mechanically trying to pass them. He had just lifted his foot when he froze.

The psychic's gaze sharpened, and the next second, a look of surprise crossed his face as he communicated telepathically:

[His mind was empty except for the thought of going home, like a puppet?!]

Controlled by an alien species or—?

As the captain, Goro Furuhata considered the matter carefully before making his decision: [Let him go.]

The entire process described above is but a fleeting moment in reality. To outsiders, the gaunt man merely paused for a moment after lifting his foot before continuing to walk.

Goro Furuhata marked the gaunt man with the bacteria, but instead of splitting up, he led the entire squad to continue toward the bat woman's residence.

Occasionally, one or two men would appear on the road afterward, their minds either on going home or going to work in the factory, with no other thoughts.

They're practically robots with pre-programmed routines.

Goro Furuhata was even more cautious. One person could be considered a coincidence, but the fact that all the passersby were like this clearly indicated that there was a reason why the fields in the entire village were abandoned.

The Bat Woman, Shirabe Village, a village where no women walk on the road, a factory...

He noted down all the clues and, through telepathic communication, ensured that the team always acted as one, maintaining the best formation with each step. The aggressive symbiotic microbe in his team was always at the forefront.

The Longevity Microbiota is his symbiotic extraordinary microbiota, nurtured by his desire for youth. It is impossible to eliminate and it occupies a large amount of mental power. Even though Zhang Chengyi expanded it once, he still doesn't have much mental power left to nourish the microbiota.

If you, like everyone else, put in the effort to figure out which ability is cooler or more powerful, and manage to find a path, you're considered an all-around reserve player. If you can't, you're just a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

He simply abandoned all sorts of fancy abilities and focused on strengthening his gut microbiota and similar superhuman gut microbiota that enhance the body.

The results were remarkable. He was the only one, according to Zhang Chengyi, whose physical strength level reached 10,000 horsepower of magnetic field rotation. He could stop a speeding car with one hand, kick a tank to pieces, and machine gun bullets would only bounce randomly when they hit him. He could smash a four-story building with a single punch, walk on water and run wildly, and jump 20 or 30 meters on flat ground, etc.

In Zhang Chengyi's own words: "What's even more exaggerated than the rotation of a magnetic field is that your body's toughness, endurance, and recovery ability are even stronger than your physical strength."

In situations not involving direct confrontation with other beings, he is the strongest human shield.

Arrived.

Goro Furuhata stopped at the doorway, looking at the middle-aged, plump woman sitting expressionlessly on the wooden plank by the edge of the room, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

As before, the field is controlled by telekinesis first, and those with psychic abilities read minds.

"Boom!"

The female psychic collapsed silently, blood flowing from her nostrils. The injected protective bacteria took effect, her skin contorted, and she quickly transformed into Zhang Chengyi's appearance. Before she even opened her eyes, his voice entered the minds of others through telepathic communication:

[It's an alien derivative, effective against women. Seize her!]

"Whoosh!" The next second, bat wings unfurled from the middle-aged, overweight woman's back, her face contorted in a ferocious expression, her pupils rapidly filling with white, and a demonic tail, like an arrowhead, pierced through her trousers. In the sunlight, she let out a piercing scream:

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Buzz!" Apart from Furuhata Goro, the other three all showed signs of pain and were powerless to fight any longer.

[To address the howling of the mind, find a way to block out hearing] Zhang Chengyi gave a hint: the insurance bacteria are mimicry bacteria, bacteria that can exist independently of the body. After temporarily taking over this body, he needs some time to adapt.

Without hesitation, Goro Furuhata stuck out his finger and punctured his eardrum before rushing forward.

The fat woman, who looked like a demon, flew backwards into the house and didn't seem to like the sunlight.

"Boom!" Goro Furuhata didn't chase into the house. Instead, he spread his arms and punched the house hard. The explosive force of the punch instantly destroyed the entire house.

The demon woman lay prone in the ruins, covered in blood. Although the explosive force of her punches hadn't spread due to precise calculations, it still transformed into wind blades, cutting her until she bled profusely. She lay there, trembling in the sunlight, smoke rising from her bat wings and demon tail.

"Aaaaah!" Amidst painful and piercing screams, the two unconscious squad members slowly stood up. With expressionless faces, they activated their abilities, attempting to attack the approaching Goro Furuhata.

"Thump!" Zhang Chengyi knocked the two unconscious. It wasn't the influence of the out-of-control rules, but the fact that this howling itself had the ability to influence minds and control others.

If the rules are out of control, the insulator will be activated.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Goro Furuhata had already grabbed the demon woman and landed several punches in quick succession, causing the ground to tremble. However, the woman's head did not explode; she just looked like she was in great pain, but it was impossible to tell whether it was due to the sunlight or the beating.

"Whoo-whoo-whoo~" A strange whistle sound quickly echoed through the village.

The protective bacteria in everyone's body, including Goro Furuhata, were activated at the same time.

Chapter 333 Demon

Baibu Village, factory.

It was called a factory, but there was only one tall black tower with a whistle hanging on it that vibrated constantly with the sound.

"Boom boom boom!" The village chief of Shirabe Village, Haiyama—no, he should be called the magician Dorman—who caused this demonic whistle, was running wildly down the road in his magician's robes.

One by one, women transformed into demonic servants soared into the sky in the sunlight, wailing as they flew overhead.

He quickly stopped and came to a cave entrance covered by a black cloth. He turned and glanced at the demon women who had all landed. He pulled off the black cloth, sweating profusely, to reveal a pool of blood bubbling inside.

"If we don't use only babies..."

Dorman's expression showed some struggle. As a dark magician who had been 'reborn' from four hundred years ago, he was well aware of the consequences of disrupting his own ritual.

True demons are mindless monsters that only follow existing 'rules'. Four hundred years ago, he summoned three demons. It was because of the characteristics of demons that they were used by villagers and missionaries. In the end, two demons were driven away, one was sealed underground, and he died directly. It was not until four hundred years later that he was reborn with the help of demons.

If the demon is not summoned from a pure and innocent infant, the demon's 'rules' may fail, and his idea of ​​ruling the world will be completely thwarted. He may not even have the chance to be reborn.

but……

Dorman recalled the horrific scene he had just witnessed through the demon servant. How could a human possibly destroy a house with a single punch? Clearly, it was someone like him who 'summoned' and utilized beings similar to 'demons'.

He hadn't even found the demon yet, and they were already coming to take his life. What was there to hesitate about?

"Splash!" The demon women lined up and jumped into the blood pool. In the blink of an eye, they were dissolved into the blood and became part of the blood pool.

After the demon women, scorched by the sun and smoking from head to toe, all jumped into the pool of blood, the pool began to churn, as if something was about to be born from it.

Dorman, clinging to a sliver of hope, shouted loudly:

"Great demon god Krofess, please reveal your dark form before me!"

"Splash!" As soon as the words were spoken, a hand much larger than an adult emerged from the pool of blood and gripped the edge of the cave. Then came a thick arm.

The next second, a demon tens of meters tall flew out of the blood pool. It had no face at all, just a constantly rippling black face. Tentacles swayed on its head, and two eyes that looked like giant light bulbs scanned the ground, without any expression or intelligence.

Its curled-up bat wings spread open, hissing and crackling in the sunlight, and a large amount of black smoke billowed out, soon forming a large dark cloud in the sky that blocked out the sunlight.

“King Kreufius, I am your loyal one—” Dorman’s face lit up with joy, but before he could finish speaking, the demon opened its claws, grabbed him, and threw him into its mouth.

Without even making a sound, he silently turned into air the moment he entered the mouth full of sharp teeth of the demon Krufius.

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

This is troublesome.

The instant the investigation team's insurance bacteria were collectively activated, Zhang Chengyi gleaned complete information about the rules of the runaway system through the sound of the siren.

The out-of-control rule that appeared in Shirabe Village was called "Demon," and it was the most complex out-of-control rule he had ever seen.

It stipulates that the place where the demon is sealed will be inhabited by the dark magician Dorman, who will be reborn in a suitable person. He can summon demons from purgatory through a large amount of human blood. The demons can directly erase people who are caught or thrown into their mouths. What do demons fear? How to seal demons? What postures and objects can be used to utilize the power of demons?

It's practically like an incredibly complex setting book.

Without a doubt, this is a typical human creation; otherwise, there would be no need to design how to control and threaten demons. The additional rule for the dark magician Dorman is suspicious beyond belief.

"Whoosh!" The wind grew louder and louder, and dark clouds filled the sky, completely blocking out the sunlight. A huge demon appeared from the factory outside the village.

"Trouble is brewing."

Zhang Chengyi controlled the five temporarily taken-over bodies to levitate. If these five people were to fight the demon, they would likely die. The demon's voice alone could turn women into servants, and the effect of controlling men who heard the voice was a rule that was impossible to resist.

Not to mention its enormous size and many features that sound incredibly powerful.

But if he comes to substitute, then there's some hope.

Moreover, his two bodies are too far apart to get here in a short time. Even if he can't be killed or sealed, he has to hold them off.

Otherwise, if the demons were allowed to fly to nearby cities, they could easily create countless troublesome demon minions.

How did ancient humans solve this problem?

Zhang Chengyi was initially puzzled, but then realized that humanity didn't need to solve the problem at all. It was common sense that "demons are in hell." A large number of humans were killed and had their souls devoured by demons. The ultimate result was to change the demons and make the rules orderly.

Especially in matters of faith, the steadfast human spirit will surely bring about even greater changes.

As he pondered, he attacked the demon that had already taken to the sky. His mental abilities were undoubtedly ineffective; he simply couldn't read the mind of someone whose rules had gone out of control.

Just by looking at its appearance, it is completely different from the demons in many myths and legends. What kind of demon doesn't even have a face, and its eyes are so perfunctory that it's almost as if it's missing a bright light.

Apart from the standard bat wings and demon tail, it doesn't resemble the demons in myths and legends at all.

Next comes telekinesis.

This investigation team's telekinetic users were among the best of all the microbial symbiotes. Combined with Zhang Chengyi's control and calculation abilities, they manipulated the air to freeze the demon in mid-air.

This thing is very powerful and keeps trying to break free, but it is too difficult to break free from the air propelled by psychic power using only physical strength.

"Aaaaaah!" The demon opened its mouth and let out a sharp roar, but the sound waves failed to spread due to the loss of air.

[The good news is that even though it has many rule-based abilities, it's helpless without being able to touch a person. In terms of physical strength alone, it's not much stronger than Goro Furuhata.]

Zhang Chengyi was somewhat relieved. If this thing were truly a demon from mythology, it would be a real problem. Whether it had magic or teleportation abilities, it would be very troublesome. Right now, it could only open its mouth wide and howl, and it was also limited by the air. It was the perfect target.

[Lock them up first, then consider how to contain or seal them.]

After making precise calculations, he flipped his palm, and the air turned around at the same time.
