Chapter 258 258. To benefit the audience

Qiao Mu's writing paused. He felt that being nailed to a cross should be some kind of metaphor, but at the same time, [Bicheng]'s words also reminded Qiao Mu of something.

That is, if Hejima Culture really turned a chosen one into a god through such means, how would they control this god?

According to [Bicheng], this god must be crazy. The Chosen One will hardly be able to resist those crazy ravings. Putting aside the philosophical issues, such a crazy Chosen One will not be able to make peace at all. Used by island culture.

[Dusk]: Is there any way to control these chosen ones?

[Bicheng]: Anomalies are the incarnation of rules, and gods are powerful anomalies. Therefore, gods must follow their own rules. They only need to engrave the rules before they become gods. Then after they become anomalies, even if there are A little distorted, but generally it will still act according to the original rules, and then it can be controlled.

[Bicheng]: Of course, I don’t recommend you do this, because any existence that thinks it can control it will eventually lose control. This is also a law.

[Dusk]: So, I can understand what happened when these chosen ones were still humans, crack their rules, and then find a way to kill them all to solve the problem.

[Bicheng]: Do you know what you are talking about?

[Shan Lan]: This guy is like that.

[Fei Ying]: Oh, it looks like [Dusk] classmate is going to do something big.

[Dusk]: But your explanation just now reminded me of one thing.

Qiao Mu thought for a while and continued writing.

[Dusk]: If it is an anomaly, then you have to compete with it for pollution and study the rules. But a chosen one has its own body. Wouldn't it be faster to find a way to solve the body?

For example, anomalies such as [Funeral Parlor Code] have no concrete things, just abstract concepts. If you want to fight against them, you have to keep exploring. But the gods incarnated by the Chosen Ones must have their own bodies due to the characteristics and principles of the Chosen Ones themselves. .

If you kill the main body, the abnormality will lose its roots and collapse into scattered pollution.

"Godly Body"

Qiao Mu murmured.

"What?"

The villain Ebisu, who was hanging his head in the living room and seemed to be about to fall asleep, heard Qiao Mu's words and immediately raised his head to ask, thinking that Qiao Mu had discovered something.

"No, it's nothing."

Qiao Mu looked at the notebook.

[Bicheng]: Your idea is good, but those anomalies must protect their own bodies. I can only say, wish you good luck.

[Fei Ying]: I believe [Dusk] you can do it!

The playful and cute words emerged.

Qiao Mu thanked them and closed the notebook.

He turned on the computer in the study room and logged into the backend of Wajima Culture, imitating what the little miko did in the Internet cafe this afternoon.

Qiao Mu searched the list of chosen ones who had disappeared or died in Hedao Culture in recent years.

If you don’t know, last year alone, more than ten God-chosen people disappeared or died. The year with the highest number was the year when the disaster broke out and the Ukiyoyama Research Institute was closed. There were a total of fifty-three. The Chosen One disappears and dies.

Qiao Mu looked over one by one.

[He died a worthy death. At least he saved the people in a passenger car at the end of his life. A moment of silence for him! 】

[He died of arrogance, trying to rely on existing experience to fight unknown anomalies, and you saw the result! 】

[She disappeared in that disaster. No one has seen her again. Maybe she is still alive in a corner of a foreign land. Who knows? 】

[He never came back after entering the mission. Perhaps he died in some foreign land. I wish him rest in peace! 】

[Although he died in a social sense, he was reborn in another sense. Beware of his revenge! 】

Soon, Qiao Mu discovered that several markers were missing, but the bright red text in his field of vision reminded them that the Chosen One was still alive.

Qiao Mu checked their resumes carefully.

Some people took advantage of that disaster to fake death and hide in foreign lands, while others, obviously, may have become experimental subjects.

Qiao Mu was not sure whether these people were voluntary or forced, but since they had become what they were now, it was a relief to let them rest in peace.

He carefully wrote down the life stories and interpersonal relationships of these people, which might come in handy later.

The night passed.

Qiao Mu received a message from the little witch early the next morning and had already prepared the car.

"It's not a black limousine, is it?"

he asked.

"What?"

The little witch didn't know why.

It was a van equipped with explosion-proof glass, which could be used to avoid tracking. Qiao Mu visited two subway stations to make sure there were no followers around before getting in the van.

In the car, the little miko was already waiting. She was not wearing a miko uniform, but an ordinary sweatshirt and sports pants, just like an ordinary high school student.

"Why don't you wear a miko costume?"

Qiao Mu was curious.

"You like it very much?"

The little witch asked in confusion.

"Some people just like this. Aren't I doing this for the benefit of the audience?"

Qiao Mu replied immediately.

"Audience? Where is the audience coming from?"

The little witch showed a puzzled expression.

"If something happens to you this time, I will remember you. When the time comes, I will show my memory to others, and it will show you as you are now."

Qiao Mu said seriously.

Theoretically, he can indeed condense this experience through [Shadow Ghost]. After the completion level is improved, it is not simple to manifest a little witch.

"?"

A question mark appeared on the little witch's head. After thinking about it, she decided to ignore Qiao Mu's sweet words.

"Last time I was in Siberia, I represented the Japanese culture, so I had to wear formal clothes. This time I am fighting secretly. Of course, I cannot expose myself in a miko uniform."

she explained.

"Oh, by the way, can you see him?"

Qiao Mu pointed at Ebisu, who was fishing in the void with a fishing rod next to his trouser leg.

"who?"

The little witch glanced and saw nothing.

"That's okay."

Qiao Mu told her not to care.

It seems that Ebisu's depth is much deeper than Qiao Mu imagined.

As for why the gods transformed by the chosen ones can be seen, but Ebisu cannot be seen by the little miko, Qiao Mu can't figure it out. He can only guess that there is some difference between the two that he can't see for the time being. .

There is also a possibility that Ebisu is not actually a real "god", but a lost anomaly, but it has been severely contaminated and no longer knows who he is.

We got on the highway and drove for several hours.

When Qiao Mu, who was sitting in the car, looked out the window and saw that it was completely deserted, with only the crow-like monster covering the crater of the mountain standing eerily in front of him, the car stopped.

"Next is the sea of ​​trees in Mount Ukiyo, which is also a restricted area."

The little miko warned, got out of the car, took the pass provided by Tokugawa Kaito, and came to an obvious dividing line.

On this side of the dividing line, there are clumps of weeds, and on the opposite side of the dividing line, there is a wilderness covered with ash. The forest in front is lush and green, but inside it seems like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at this side, giving people a strange and resentful feeling. .

The little witch stretched out her hand towards Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu put his hand on her palm.

"."

The little witch slapped the back of Qiao Mu's hand with her backhand, and then grabbed his hand.

"Look, this is how the pass is used."

She squeezed the imperial guard in her other hand and stepped into the dividing line with Qiao Mu at the same time.

The world suddenly changes.
