Chapter 36 The Continuous Sound of Multiple Mutations
"What appears is not 'complementary'...but side strengthening."
A few days after the last gathering, Hakurei Reimu once again gathered the members of Gensokyo.
After gathering all the members of Gensokyo this time, Reimu Hakurei showed off the spiritual power group in his hand.
Hakurei Reimu is a miko who uses spiritual power, but most of the time she uses various spells and physical fitness to fight.
But now the magic mass in her hand was compressed to the extreme, making everyone else subconsciously feel a little hairy on their backs.
"Reimu's control over spiritual power has been strengthened many times. I can convert various things into faith, and I can also construct various things by consuming faith."
Sitting next to Reimu Hakurei, Sanae Tofudani is also showing off her abilities.
This wind blessing that causes miracles has actually used faith to create miracles.
"...What about you? Marisa?"
Looking at Marisa who was silent over there, Alice asked.
Normally, Marisa should be the more active one among the three girls, but now she was lying there looking like she was about to die.
"Making magic props... I can make various magic props through magic power and various materials. To a certain extent, I can make something similar to Huiyin's bow tie."
However, this kind of thing can hardly improve her own strength. She can use various things to make magic cannons and bombs... Let's think of those exploding mushroom powders as explosives.
"It's the same ability as Kazami Yumeng..."
"So this is a different kind of miko?"
"Ha~ That god still likes humans as always."
"Really? But it doesn't matter, these guys are no longer human beings, but undead."
Naturally, there is not just one circle of monsters gathered here, so their views on these things are also diverse.
No matter what happens to the souls of human beings next, they probably won’t react much, right?
After all, the relationship between most humans and youkai has been set there since the Gensokyo period.
Now that humans have become undead, the relationship will probably remain constant, right? Oh no, there may be various changes, after all, humans are very fickle.
"Understood. After I go back, I will ask my people to determine what changes have taken place in the human beings in the world."
To some extent, Hidden Agumi, who is regarded as the village chief of the human world, nodded and made a decision.
With such an explosion of abilities, something like Academy City would probably happen, right? After returning home, she immediately went to Miss Misaka to find a 'discipline committee'.
"We will also help here."
Siji Yingji, who was sitting not far from Baitian Aqiu, nodded and agreed with Aqiu's decision.
At this time, Tachibana Kan walked in from the door of this large conference room.
"Sorry to bother you, but the dead souls who were absorbed into this world also seem to have acquired superpowers."
Kanade Tachibana, who attracted everyone's attention as soon as he stepped into the conference room, was the first thing he said.
If Nakamura Yuri and those guys hadn't started making noise again, she wouldn't have barged in when Shiki Ehime said, "This meeting should be quite important."
"So, you suppressed those guys?"
From some perspectives, the aura on Tachibana Kanade's body is the aura that appears just after a battle.
"Yes."
Suppression that kills them all with one knife.
"...The children here are still as active as ever."
To be honest, as a teacher, Huiyin really doesn't like such active students.
But she would not choose to ignore the students because they were too active.
"Ha~ let's go, let's go. Anyway, in this situation, we need to go back and investigate the situation of the humans in the world, right? The meeting is dismissed."
Onozuka Komachi picked up the sickle beside him, took a breath and walked out of the conference room.
As the God of Death, she deals with these thorns most of the time.
There are also those bastards on the afterlife front. They were indeed quiet at first, but now they are helping them with their work.
But it’s that magical brain circuit that makes many monsters keen to take these guys for fun.
This further strengthens the magical brain circuits of these guys, which means they can die and be resurrected unlimited times in this world.
In other worlds, they would have worked themselves to death from the very beginning.
…………
"Can human beings' desire for death be contagious?"
Sitting in her seat, looking at the various information collected in front of her, Shiki Ehime said weakly to Yakumo Murasaki beside her.
"Maybe? Humans are quite good at seeking death."
Yakumo Murasaki, who has been working for a long time, feels that...it seems that the nature of seeking death exists more or less in human beings?
"Don't make trouble. Don't monsters want to die?"
Reimu Hakurei, who was also sitting here, retorted casually. As a human being, she would instinctively refute this kind of thing.
"I don't deny that some monsters are really stupid."
Shrugging her shoulders, Yakumo Murasaki did not deny this.
"Does a chivalry use force to break the ban? I didn't expect to encounter such a thing here. Obviously, people in the human world were quite normal before?"
Hong Meiling followed Flandol and naturally came over, but compared to the eldest lady, the second lady couldn't stay any longer and wanted to run out.
As for why they are talking about these things here? That is because the human souls in the human world began to take various actions that broke the rules after receiving "side enhancement".
During this time, the human souls in this world have begun to kill each other (died × died again and then died again√).
"The reason is probably because of this, right? 'After testing, Xiaoling's ability is activated instinctively. When the ability is activated, the dark side of the people around him will explode greatly'... Is Xiaoling's ability so terrifying?"
After handing the document she was holding to Shiki Yingji, Remilia was also a little speechless.
A few days have passed since the last time Hakurei Reimu and the others showed off their abilities. During this time, non-human beings from all worlds have returned to this New Fantasyland.
After all, in addition to active abilities for the awakening of human souls, there are also passive abilities like Motozu Suzu.
Just in case the guys from this world went to other worlds, these non-human beings also came back one after another to suppress these strange humans.
At this moment, Fujiwara Meihong, who was on daily patrol, rushed in from the door.
"Something's wrong! Immortality is spreading in this world!"
Fujiwara-mei's red hand also held an arm that was bleeding continuously. This was one of the reasons why Shiki Ehime looked ugly.
"Spread? Are immortality also appearing in non-human beings?"
Shiki Yingji stretched out her hand and used her own power to seal the arm, so that at least the arm could not continue to bleed.
"To some extent, it is the possibility of rapid recovery. This arm belongs to my apprentice. This is a living person."
Yashiya Eirin, who was carrying Haibara Ai, also entered the room shortly after Fujiwara Meihong came in, and behind her was Haibara Ai, who was grabbing her arm and looking ugly.
She also didn't expect that when she came to visit this time, one of her hands would be cut off, and then a new arm would grow before the arm fell to the ground...
This situation caused everyone in the small-scale riot to stop moving, and then everyone was suppressed by Yayi Yonglin.
"Among those human souls, there are definitely people with similar abilities to Xiaoling. Try to find them and seal them."
As the leader of this world, Shiki Yingji made a decision.
But the question now is not only what abilities those humans belonging to Gensokyo have, but also the immortality that allows Haibara Ai to quickly grow new arms.
Existences that are not originally undead cannot be resurrected in this world. At most, they will become undead and then start to be resurrected.
But now that we look at it, this group of people has begun to resurrect without being dead souls... We need to check it out carefully.
…………
A few days later, through the efforts of the Misaka sisters, the situation in the afterlife was completely clarified.
Every human soul from Gensokyo has gained some kind of ability, which is a side supplement.
All creatures that enter the afterlife have what can be called 'absolute' immortality.
A death row prisoner was found and burned to ashes. This 'D-class personnel' still managed to get up from the growing ashes after a period of time.
Then he was sent out of this world to be killed.
Having immortality in the afterlife does not mean that you can have immortality in other worlds. This mutation only includes the afterlife.
Then... a new mutation appeared again.
The ‘property’ of the world has deepened...
Originally, according to Kazami Yumu, the shrine maidens and others who followed her named the world after this 'expressed' 'world attribute'.
For example, the 'detective world' where Haibara Ai lives, the 'god world' where the Shumi Shrine is located, or the 'school world' with superpowers and magic.
Now the attributes of these worlds have been greatly enhanced, new witches have appeared in Inharut, and a large number of new people have appeared in the afterlife world...
To put it simply, in this short period of less than a month, no matter which world it is in, there have been troublesome events that cannot be completely solved in a short time.
"Wow...there has never been a situation like this where one mutation occurs one after another before? Are you going to give us time to hold a banquet after the mutation is over?"
Marisa, who was lying on the table with her eyes so lost that she couldn't open them, let out a weak cry.
Her ability to make magic props was pulled out, and she worked with others to create an ability-suppressing device.
This is a bracelet that was designed and produced with the help of the magic attack masters from Genkami Island and the angels brought by Youdingtian.
Currently, only the angels, the shrine maidens of Yumu Kazami, and Marisa can make these things.
So they were dragged into this world to do hard labor, but this kind of high-intensity labor... would bring a sense of overwork to many of these children, so most of the time, these children would rest when they could. Take the time to rest as much as you can.
There are even a few guys who, under the temptation of Kaguya Penglai, shoot themselves directly when they are overworked. Anyway, the immortality of this world has been strengthened to an outrageous situation. After death, they are resurrected, and the sense of fatigue disappears. , it’s great.
It's just that there are not many people who can overcome their instinct to kill themselves, or who are not afraid of death, so after trying it once or twice, no one dares to play this way again.
Because... someone committed suicide here and almost committed suicide in his own world.
"A new mutation has appeared, and this problem seems to have spread to other worlds."
When Reimu was about to answer Marisa's question, Yakumo Murasaki's voice came from the door, and then the tablet she handed over.
Because the successive mutations were too troublesome, all members of Gensokyo have withdrawn and most of the communication with other worlds has been closed.
This led to the fact that after problems occurred in other worlds, it took them a long time to realize the problem.
"what happened?"
Exhaling the air he had just breathed in, Reimu looked at Yakumo Murasaki seriously.
She is a miko, a miko of Hakurei Shrine, and she has solved a lot of changes like this.
It was just changes that kept appearing. She just accepted it and worked hard.
"Don't worry, it's just that the 'attributes' have been strengthened again. Just like the 'immortal' attribute of this world, the special attributes of those worlds have been strengthened again, but with 'them' here, we don't have to worry too much."
Clapping her hands, Yakumo Purple pointed at the tablet that had been placed in front of Reimu and said.
During this strengthening, special beings from those worlds also appeared one after another, and things that were obvious changes in Yakumo Purple's eyes were sorted out.
It's like weaving what will happen into the fabric of fate that already exists in the world itself, and it looks very smooth.
So after noticing those existences that were world conscious like [Dream], Zi thought that she and others did not need to be so anxious.
"Ha, that's a good thing, a good thing."
After saying these two sentences, Reimu also leaned back on the chair. She was very busy during this time.
"It seems that everything is almost settled."
Looking at Kanade Tachibana who was sitting there and the forms that were all checked in front of Kanade Tachibana, Zi walked behind Kanade and reached out to touch the child's shoulder.
"Ugh... yes, those dangerous passive abilities have been 'sealed', and the rest of them have also been put on detection bracelets. If they pass the line set by Master Shiki, we will push the sinner to the detective world. Then kill the sinner, and then hook back the sinner’s spirit... Hmm?"
When Yakumo Purple's fingers pressed her shoulder, Kanade couldn't help but tremble. She ran around and killed one after another. Her shoulders were hard. Now that she was attacked like this by Yakumo Purple, she also felt
Somewhat uncomfortable.
However, Kanade's character has always been serious, and even though her shoulders were still a little numb, she still told her what she knew.
But as she was talking, her mouth was covered by Yakumo Purple.
"Okay, okay, good boy, good boy, it's time to rest. Let's go eat."
While talking about being a good boy, Yakumo Murasaki patted Tachibana Kanade's head with a doting look on her face.
Then he waved to a group of salted fish stalls over there and asked these 'tired workers' who were making bracelets to get up and go eat.
"You go with me and we'll lie down for a while."
However, all Yakumo Purple got was this sentence, and a bunch of dead fish eyes that glanced at her and then moved away...
"Okay? Remember to go to dinner."
Although the bad taste in her heart made Yakumo Murasaki think about "should I kill them", she still nodded, gave her instructions and left with Tachibana Kanade.
