Is this okay?

Altair: We need to investigate. Right now, we only know there are people there, but we have absolutely no idea who the other side is.

Stranger: Great! Everyone answered very enthusiastically! But can we stop with the nonsense and come up with a solution?

Homura Akemi: No, we can only follow the clues.

Stranger: Following the clues? Got it! Kaneki, Tatsumi, Kazuma, let's go!

Shu Ouma: What are you guys doing?

Stranger: Let's follow the clues.

Shu Ouma: Huh? Any plans?

Stranger: That's easy. Start with the news agency, arrest them, beat them up, and ask them if they'll talk. If they don't, keep beating them!

Shu Ouma: ...

Senior Xiaoyuan: What a clever way to follow the clues! It's really smooth.

Ningguang: Aren't you afraid of killing the other side?

Stranger: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if I killed him, I'd just resurrect and continue the interrogation. After the interrogation, a healer came, and he wasn't even surprised that we had attacked him.

Ken Kaneki: That makes perfect sense. Even if they come after us, we can sue them for defamation. We can't give up this income.

Kazuma Sato: Great idea!

Misaka Mikoto: Isn't this too much of a bullying?

Shu Ouma: No! That's how it should be! I'm going to let everyone know that the Complete Book of Strange Things isn't something just anyone can mess around with!

Stranger: As expected of the Overlord, he's truly domineering!

Shu Ouma: ...

Can we please not mention this word?

Misaka Mikoto: Um... we're good people, right? Since we're good people, isn't there a better way?

Stranger: No! I don't want to use my brain! This is a necessary sacrifice!

Misaka Mikoto:......

Senior Xiaoyuan: I'm more curious about what kind of reason would lead someone to oppose the Complete Book of Weirdos?

Shu Ouma: I'm curious too. Did the Encyclopedia of Strange Things touch something? Given the current state of humanity, shouldn't we see hope and move forward together?

Stranger: Don't be so naive. After all, there are so many people in the world. There will always be someone who will step on the gas and drive themselves to ruin. These are lessons learned in blood.

Lani: I was reminded of something I read in a book recently: the lesson humanity has learned from history is that it has never learned anything.

Shu Ouma: That's really awful!

Senior Xiaoyuan: Exactly! So let's not let him get away. Let's catch him, beat him up, torture him, and then let him leave unscathed. (Funny.JPG)

Stranger: Great! Let's go!

Kaneki Ken: Oh—!

Altair: There's something I want to say, but I'm not sure if I should.

Stranger: You speak!

Altair: Why don't we use miracles and magic to get rid of the strangeness? A miracle or magic would solve it immediately, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Stranger: Oh, this...

Ken Kaneki: Who's coming?

Tatsumi: Don't look at me, I refuse.

Kazuma Sato: Isn't this just making a joke of things? What if it happens again in the future? Are you expecting everyone to just sit around and pray that we'll come to their aid? Do you think we're the busybodies?

Altair: Okay.

I thought you guys only used it to scam people, but I didn't expect you to have such awareness.

I was careless.

Shu Ouma: That's right! What I want is for everyone to become self-reliant, not for others to handle things. It's not like people won't die every day just because there are no more anomalies.

Stranger: Great! Very energetic! Ji Bawang, you've grown, we're very pleased.

Shu Ouma: ...

Kirito: Actually, I think we only use miracles and magic if we can't find someone to use them.

Madoka-senpai: Why are you speaking such blunt truths! If you don't believe me, ask Shuba-kun. If he were to cross-dress and broadcast his chuunibyou declarations to the world, would he do it? Just like when Homura danced to Shin Takarajima in the middle of the night.

Homura Akemi: ...

Can we please not mention this again?

Was that voluntary?

I had no choice!

Shu Ouma: ...

For some reason, Shu Ouma fell into deep thought upon hearing this question.

If things really develop that way, should I jump or not?

This is a terrible choice.

So deadly!

……

Just as Leng Mo and the others began to take action, something even more unexpected happened.

The funeral home held its latest press conference, a situation that is certainly thought-provoking.

After all, the monsters had just been attacked and lost their main force; who knows what they would say if they suddenly appeared now.

Is it to make accusations, or to clarify the contents of the encyclopedia of the bizarre?

Everyone is now looking forward to this, and perhaps there will be something even more exciting at this press conference.

On the other side, in the villa.

When Zhenming saw the scene on TV, she paused involuntarily.

"Triton? Cliff?"

She recognized Gai Tsutsugami at a glance as the boy she had once saved.

Hearing this, Lani put down her book and asked softly, "Is there a problem?"

"It's nothing, just a little surprised. The strange appearance has everyone on edge. I didn't expect Triton to be able to lead an organization to resist. But... that person named Yuzuriha Inori." Mana frowned when she saw Yuzuriha Inori next to Gai Tsutsugami.

She felt that the other person looked exactly like her future self, and even felt a sense of familiarity.

“Yuzuriha Inori? I know her. She has your VOID inside her. Well, to be precise, it's the VOID of the virus's true name.” Lani recalled the situation with Guilty Crown and gave a simple explanation.

"So that's how it is. Does he want to become king?" Mana looked at Gai Tsutsugami and fell into deep thought, feeling that something was wrong.

At this moment, Gai Tsutsugami stared intently at the camera in front of him with a solemn expression, and said loudly in an angry tone:

"I'm sure you've all seen the news today. Those are the internal statistics from our funeral service! And they were built up with human lives!"

"So, the Complete Book of Strange Things is fake? Then how do we explain the people who were killed by the Mother of Viruses before?"

Instantly, the reporters below excitedly shouted, their eyes filled with anticipation.

This is explosive news!

Then Gai Tsutsugami said seriously:

"The contents of the Encyclopedia of the Strange are true, I can confirm that. But—! So what if we know the rules? Some strange rules are insurmountable even if we know the rules, like the Mother of Viruses! Unless you're the Mother of Viruses' lover, it doesn't matter who you encounter! Everyone has already realized this. The disappearance of the Mother of Viruses caught us completely off guard, but it's a good thing for us. Our Funeral Parlor has already discovered other ways to defeat the strange!"

His voice reached everyone's ears in an instant.

In an instant, the entire venue descended into chaos, everyone stunned by his words.

Are there any other methods?

Doesn't this mean that humanity has more than one hope?

Instantly, everyone stared wide-eyed at Gai Tsutsugami at the press conference.

"Damn Triton, how could he say that!" Mana was a little unhappy after hearing Gai Tsutsugami's words.

Chapter 412 Let's give them a big one!

Mana Ouma looked at Gai Tsutsugami in the scene before her with an unhappy expression, while Lani, who was standing next to her, frowned upon hearing this.

She sat in a vintage chair, looking at the monitor with a scrutinizing expression.

"Other methods to defeat the anomalies? So he's already mastered them? I'm starting to wonder what he'll say next. If this world doesn't exist, then he'll definitely be exposed. My king won't stand idly by then."

Lani watched Gai Tsutsugami on the screen with anticipation, and even Mana beside her felt a sense of anticipation.

She was eager for Gai Tsutsugami to do something and then send it to her. Although she had always said that Gai Tsutsugami was her knight, the problem was that it was the will of the virus, not her own will.

Then, in the scene, Gai Tsutsugami, with a determined expression, earnestly addressed everyone:

“That’s right! The power I found comes from within humanity itself, VOID. A power that can materialize the human soul into weapons. As long as we possess this power, humanity can defeat the supernatural.”

"Is this true?! Mr. Tsutsugami, do you have any way to prove it?!"

The reporter below immediately voiced everyone's doubts, looking at Gai Tsutsugami with anticipation.

Gai Tsutsugami nodded firmly: "Of course it's true. I've already mastered this power. I'll use it to deal with the strange occurrences, and I'll be broadcasting it live. I believe everyone will be able to find out then."

"Is it possible for the rest of us to possess such power?"

"We are still researching this. We need to study this unknown force slowly and only announce it when we arrive at the correct answer."

Tsutsugami Gai calmly explained to everyone, his face showing no sign of suspicion.

At this moment, Leng Mo and the others naturally knew what kind of power Yagami was talking about, and couldn't help but pout.

They were all about to go out, but seeing the current situation, they went back to the forum and started discussing it again.

……

Forum, chat area.

Stranger: I've never seen such a shameless person! Gai Tsutsugami? Ha! Tui!

Kazuma Sato: You've been bullied, you bastard! Go and bully me back!

Shu Ouma: You mean the King's power? Is that thing as powerful as ours?

Kazuma Sato: Oh, that's alright then.

Ken Kaneki: Mere King's Power? I used to take down a King's Power with a single punch. (Smug look)

Tatsumi: But Yuzuriha Inori is gone! Aren't you sad, Shu? Where is your domineering spirit? Where is your kingly way?

Shu Ouma: Whatever happens, maybe it will be better for Inori Yuzuriha to be with Gai.

Homura Akemi: You're really naive. Do you think someone like Gai Tsutsugami would treat Yuzuriha Inori as a human being? In his eyes, Yuzuriha Inori is nothing more than a tool.

Stranger: This time, I'm on Xiaoyan's side.

Shu Ouma: Gai... How could this be... No! Perhaps this is the real him. If that's the case, then there's only one answer! I'm going to shatter Yuzuriha Inori's value into pieces! That way, no one can use her anymore!

Senior Xiaoyuan: Wow! If your name hadn't been displayed as Jibawang, I would have thought that was Amo saying this.

Stranger: Indeed, I'm a bit confused too. I checked the ID, and it's definitely not me.

Kaneki Ken: Tell me! Amo, did you steal Jibawang's account?!

Stranger: Can this thing be used to steal accounts?

Shu Ouma: Let's leave Inori's matter as it is for now, and Gai's method might actually work! If everyone can use VOID, maybe the supernatural phenomena can really be defeated!

Stranger: What a load of rubbish! Let's not even talk about whether VOID's power is even possible. Even if it were, could any human withstand the Apocalypse Virus? And would the virus's true name even agree? What gave him the courage to grant the virus the power of the world's king?

Shu Ouma: This...

Stranger: Ji Bawang, think about it carefully. With your sister's personality, she even rejected Yang Shenya. Would she consider anyone else? She'd probably just kill her in one fell swoop.

Shu Ouma: Hmm...that's true.

Ken Kaneki: So now it's just Gai Tsutsugami building up his own image?
