Chapter 838 Group Unconscious

"PERSONA!"

Akechi Goro raised his right hand high, and following his movements, the demon behind him drew out his sword and swung it at Duanmu Ai.

go to hell!

At this moment, Goro Akechi had a ferocious smile on his face. He knew very well that after possessing this power, he was almost the same as an electronic demon in this world, and ordinary people were no match for him. Even demon summoners who control electronic demons are just ordinary people once the electronic demon is no longer around!

Then, under the gaze of Goro Akechi, Duanmu Ai slowly clenched the war hammer in her hand and smashed it directly against the sword that seemed taller than her!

"boom!"

The two sides collided, but the next scene left Akechi Goro stunned - the sword in his demon's hand was directly broken into two pieces by the opponent's war hammer, and then a huge impact hit, and the next moment Akechi Goro's demon collapsed instantly, and he screamed and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

"Ugh————!!"

It wasn't until a hot touch came from behind that Akechi Goro came back to his senses. He widened his eyes in surprise and looked at the ceiling in front of him - at this moment, his whole body was in burning pain, as if he had been broken by a hammer. every bone in his body.

"That's it?"

Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Ai's slightly mocking voice sounded in Akechi Goro's ears.

"With your little ability, you dare to cause trouble in front of me?"

"how come………"

Akechi Goro gritted his teeth and tried desperately to raise his head, but all he saw was Duanmu Ai's eyes looking at him contemptuously - is this the end? Why did he lose the power he had gained so hard to such a woman?

"Why?"

"Because you're weak, idiot."

Duanmu Ai waved the war hammer in his hand and looked at Akechi Goro with a half-smile.

"This level is almost the same as that of an electronic demon. It's really wishful thinking to want to win against me."

"Who are you? It's impossible for ordinary people to have this kind of ability..."

"You don't have to worry about it."

As he spoke, Duanmu Ai reached out and grabbed Akechi Goro's neck, lifted him up, and then slammed him against the wall. His blue eyes exuded cold murderous intent.

"Okay, boy, tell me everything you know. Where does your power come from? What does the lion boy Zhengyi want to do with cognitive science? Don't tell me you don't know. , you have made it very clear just now, it is obvious that you know everything about this place."

"………………"

Goro Akechi gritted his teeth and turned his head. Everything was not over yet. He had not surrendered yet. As long as he left here...

"boom!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The warhammer slammed into Goro Akechi's right hand, smashing his palm into a bloody mess. The broken bones were mixed with flesh and blood and sunk into the depression in the wall. He tried desperately to struggle, but at this moment, all the bones in Akechi Goro's body seemed to be completely broken, and they would not obey his orders at all.

"Answer my question, or we'll see how long you can last."

"You, what do you want to know?"

At this moment, Goro Akechi no longer had the elegant demeanor he had on TV before. On the contrary, he had tears streaming down his face, a runny nose, and a twisted expression of pain and despair on his face.

"Everything, first of all, how did you get this power? How did you enter this world? Also, what is the lion boy justice planning?"

"My power...I only discovered it accidentally..."

"suddenly?"

"Yes, I remember...I have heard rumors about night TV before, saying that when a person is reflected on the TV station late at night, he will die. At that time, I just thought this was nonsense and just an urban legend. Strange story. But once, by chance, I accidentally entered this world through TV, and then awakened my PERSONA..."

"What exactly is PERSONA you are talking about?"

"I don't know either. I only know that when I awakened this power, this word automatically popped up in my mind, telling me that what I was using was PERSONA..."

"continue."

"The reason why I am close to Lion Boy Justice is simply because... he is my father."

"oh?"

I have to say, this is an unexpected gain.

"Are you father and son?"

"Yes, but I don't think he knows, because my mother was that man's mistress, and when I was born, that man was afraid that my mother and my existence would affect his future, so he abandoned us! After that, I lived a life of bad luck until I awakened this power, and that’s when I thought my time for revenge had arrived!”

"Revenge? But didn't you say before that you have been working for the lion boy's justice?"

"snort!"

Hearing Duanmu Ai's inquiry, Akechi Goro turned his head.

"That man didn't know who I was at all. In fact, I did want to completely kill this guy in his inner world at first. But at that time, I learned one thing from his inner world - at that time Shidong Zhengzheng was estranged from members of the ruling party, who fabricated evidence to try to frame him, so I came up with an idea. I could take this opportunity to get close to Shidong Zhengzheng and become his assistant. Then, I would help him reach The position he wanted."

After saying this, Goro Akechi's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth.

"At that time, I will tell him face to face that I am his son! The son he abandoned! I want to see what kind of expression will appear on the face of the lion boy at that time!"

"……………………"

How should I put it? Akechi Goro's reason is completely incomprehensible to Duanmu Ai. What is he trying to explain?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with her.

"What does Shitong Zhengyi want to do by collecting knowledge?"

"I think he might not have thought about what he was going to do with cognitive science at first. Before that, Shidong Zhengyi just regarded cognitive science as a boring research to cheat money. Until my appearance, let He changed his mind. In order to prevent this research from being leaked, he stopped further research on cognitive science and designed to kill the main researcher at the time."

"I see."

After hearing Akechi Goro's statement, Duanmu Ai finally understood the situation. To put it simply, Shido Masayoshi himself did not believe in the existence of cognitive science and subspace at first, but when Akechi Goro appeared, he used this world to represent Shido Justice. After getting rid of several enemies, he believed it all. In order to prevent this method from being leaked, Shidong Zhengyi used his power to forcibly stop the research on cognitive science and killed the researcher at the time. To avoid leaks......

Um? etc.

"You're talking about late-night TV. In other words, the victims are not just Yamano anchors and the others? There were also people who died before this?"

"this……………"

Hearing Duanmu Ai's inquiry, Akechi Goro was stunned for a moment and hesitated, but Duanmu Ai raised the warhammer again and aimed at his left hand without hesitation.

"Wait, wait! I really can't remember. I remember I heard that rumor, and then I did watch TV when it rained late at night, but... I really can't remember whether there were any dead people. !”

"If you've seen late-night TV, then the people who appeared in it must have been killed."

"I really do not know!"

At this moment, Goro Akechi shook his head like a rattle.

"Believe me, I really don't remember! I don't even remember where I heard the rumors about late night TV!"

"Didn't you hear it from your classmates?"

"It's possible...maybe...in short, I'm not sure..."

The confusion on Goro Akechi's face was real, and it wasn't surprising. Duanmu Ai would hear a few similar urban ghost stories from the girls every day, but no one was free to write them down.

How strange...

Even though he said that, Duanmu Ai still felt that something was not right. When he was at Yukiko Amagi's castle, he had talked with Yu Narukami, Chie Satonaka and others. At that time, they also talked about late night TV. The thing, to put it simply, the rumors are the same. On a rainy night, when you turn on the TV, a figure of a certain person will appear, and then that person will die in a few days.

According to what they said, the reason why they came to investigate this matter was because they watched late-night TV after hearing the rumors before, and found the figure of Konishi Saaki. Then two days later, Konishi Saaki died. . It was from that time that they began to take this rumor seriously, and when Amagi Yukiko, their friend, appeared on late-night TV, they naturally couldn't ignore it.

And Mingzhi had just confessed that the case of anchor Yamano was actually done by him. Because Anchor Yamano was also the mistress of a certain politician, and that politician happened to be an enemy of Shidou Masayoshi, so Shidou Masayoshi instructed Goro Akechi to kill Anchor Yamano. In this way, the public would naturally become interested in her death, and then naturally Will doubt that politician, causing him to lose the support of the people and his current position.

The same was true for the subsequent death of Konishi Saki. The reason why Akechi Goro chose Konishi Saki at that time was that Shido Masayoshi wanted to turn this into a serial murder incident, so Akechi Goro chose Konishi Saki at that time - the reason is very simple. A female high school student has little strength, cannot resist easily, and can easily be taken away.

As for the third person, it was simply because Akechi Goro didn't like bosozoku very much, and he happened to see the news showing the bosozoku disturbing the people, so he decided on the candidate.

but failed.

So for the fourth time, he chose Kujigawa Rise. Just as Duanmu Ai thought, the death of a popular idol will inevitably bring great pressure to the police, especially on the eve of the election. This can deepen the public's understanding that the police are just messes. impression. And when the police are completely criticized by the public, Shido Masayoshi will stand up and show his existence to the people. Then as long as Goro Akechi finds the criminal according to Shido Masayoshi's script, then it is certain that Shido Masayoshi will be elected during the election. Something happened.

As for the method, Akechi Goro also confessed that it was actually nothing special. He also lived in that apartment, so there was no need for an interrogation at all. So what Goro Akechi did was to knock on Kujigawa Rise's door as a neighbor, stun her with drugs when she came out, and then throw Kujigawa Rise directly into the TV———— The TV in Kujigawa Rise's room was big enough, so he didn't need to drag people out anymore.

In this way, the reason why he chose to attack after Duanmu Ai left was very clear. Two people are always more troublesome than one. Moreover, Duanmu Ai and Kujigawa Rise came and went together at that time, so he couldn't find him. To the opportunity. It wasn't until the day the contract ended that Duanmu Ai left alone, and Goro Akechi found the opportunity to take action.

"Um……………"

After listening to Akechi Goro's confession, Duanmu Ai fell into thinking. Although Akechi Goro did answer her question, she instinctively felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something.

"anything else?"

"That's it, that's it, really...ahhhhhhh!!"

However, before Akechi Goro could finish speaking, Duanmu Ai hit him with a hammer again, smashing Akechi Goro's left hand into a bloody mess.

"That's not enough, go on. I know what you are hiding. If you are not honest anymore, then I will have to kill you... Oh, I don't know if the body here will rot."

"Wait, wait, I said, I said!"

Hearing Duanmu Ai's words, Akechi Goro's face turned pale. He could feel that the girl in front of him would really kill him. Although this girl looked soft and frail, the killing intent in her eyes gave Goro Akechi the feeling of having a chainsaw pressed against his neck, as if the chainsaw would spin and chop off his neck in the next moment. head.

"In fact, Shitong Justice actually has another plan! It's related to cognitive science! The election is just the first step. He wants to use cognitive science to manipulate everyone's mental space and turn the people in this city into A slave who obeys him! He calls this the Rich Country Plan!"

"Manipulating everyone?"

Facing Akechi Goro's unexpected confession, Duanmu Ai was also stunned.

"Can he do it? It's not easy to modify the human spirit one by one, not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city. He can just change one thing a day, and he won't be able to finish it until he retires."

"not like this!"

Goro Akechi shook his head desperately.

"According to cognitive science, in this world, there is a place where all people's spirits merge together. It is called the group unconscious... Simply put, it is the place where all people's spirits meet, so Shido Justice has thought that as long as he can control that place, he can control everyone's spirit... Of course, this is still in the early stages, after all, only I have this power..."

"You mean you know where that place is?"

"In the subway station! Under the subway station, the alter egos of everyone in this city are there! They took the subway and kept going deeper. I don't know where they went. But according to what Cognition Ke learned According to the theory, the depths of the subway seem to be the location of the collective subconscious..."

"Didn't you go in?"

"I didn't! I've thought about it before, but it's too dangerous inside and my strength alone isn't enough..."

Oh, this is such an unexpected surprise.

Hearing this, Duanmu Ai's eyes flashed with light.

"Well, not bad, it seems you are still of some use, so go to hell."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Akechi Goro could react, the war hammer in Duanmu Ai's hand suddenly rose up and hit Goro Akechi's head directly - with a loud noise, when Duanmu Ai picked up the hammer again, only All that was seen on the wall was a pile of turbidity, like skull fragments mixed with brains and flesh, leaving only an oval-like remnant in the shape of a human head.

To put it simply, it's like a squashed tomato.

"Well, it looks much more pleasing to the eye this way than before."

Duanmu Ai looked at Akechi Goro's already unsightly head with satisfaction, and nodded, "What's so good about a pretty face? Isn't it even more impressive now?"

Much more interesting than the pretty boy.

After admiring his work, Duanmu Ai looked back.

Okay, let's take care of the lion boy Justice, and then... let's go see what's going on in the subway.
