Chapter 818 Soul Projection

As we all know, there is a common sense for players—that is, all life has soul projection in the subspace, and the stronger the spiritual power, the larger the projection. Demons will also be attracted by the projection, and then come to find the owner of the projection, and then transform it into a twisted monster.

But the problem is that when asked what the projection of the human soul in the subspace looks like... few people can answer this question.

After all, people rarely go to the subspace, and assume that the subspace is the territory of demons, but in fact, players who go to the subspace rarely recognize which is the projection of the human soul, or what the projection of the human soul looks like in the subspace.

Although soul fragments are considered a kind of soul projection, they are more like the echo of the lost old world, not like the projection of life in the real world.

And now, Duanmu Ai said that he has found the answer to this question.

"I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to practice this."

Looking at the soul projection of Amagi Yukiko in front of him, Duanmu Ai couldn't help but whispered to himself. Most people have never seen what the human soul projection looks like, and now, Duanmu Ai said that if it were in the Empire, he could write a paper on this topic.

《On How the Projection of the Human Soul Becomes Demonized in the Subspace》

Yes, this is what Duanmu Ai has seen so far.

The princess Yukiko is obviously the soul projection of the original body, but the original body denies this. Duanmu Ai is not sure whether there is any connection between them. But the fact is that the soul projection denied by the original body has obviously mutated and is moving towards demonization.

So, is this one of the reasons why the subspace is full of demons?

Also, why did it kill Amagi Yukiko?

Is there any other connection between them?

While Duanmu Ai was thinking, Satonaka Chie and others had already started a battle with this demonized soul projection, but this soul projection was obviously very powerful after demonization. According to reason, ordinary humans would have been torn to pieces by it long ago. But what surprised Duanmu Ai was that this group of teenagers actually had special powers. They could summon something similar to an electronic demon to fight!

Is that a stand-in? !

Well, no kidding, but in Duanmu Ai's opinion, the existence summoned by these people is indeed very similar to a stand-in. They are not electronic demons, and they have no self-awareness. They are more like projections of the consciousness and souls of these young men themselves. Moreover, when these beings are hurt, they, as summoners, will also be hurt.

This is different from the demon summoner. The demon summoner can drive the electronic demon to fight, but the life and death of the electronic demon will not directly affect them. Take Duanmu Ai for example. If the yellow dragon she summoned is destroyed, then she only needs to summon another electronic demon again.

Just like "Back off, Pikachu" and "Come out, Magikarp". During the whole process, the demon summoner itself will not be hurt.

On the other hand, if the beings summoned by these people die, well... From the current situation, they will probably die too?

As for the situation of Amagi Yukiko, Duanmu Ai is not very clear. From the situation collected on the road, her future has obviously been determined. But she herself is unwilling to accept this future in her heart, so she will resist the soul projection.

Now, Satonaka Chie is resisting the demon's attack while trying to persuade Amagi Yukiko. Well, there is a lot of nonsense in the middle, so let's jump to the end. In a word, the two of them have untied their knots, and Amagi Yukiko also took the first step with courage.

"No---!"

Just when Amagi Yukiko pushed open the cage that imprisoned her, the demonized soul projection screamed, and at the same time, its power was weakened a lot. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Narukami Yu and Hanamura teamed up to knock it down, and then Satonaka Chie manipulated her stand to give the other party a fatal blow, knocking it to the ground and completely disappearing.

So that's why the soul projection wants to kill the master?

Looking at the demon that gradually disappeared in the screams, Duanmu Ai silently made a note in his heart. Now it seems that the soul projection also has a certain self-awareness, and the lower the subject's recognition of it, the more it will receive power from the surrounding subspace and twist into a demon, but once the subject accepts its existence, it is equivalent to consolidating the connection between the two parties again, and the soul projection has to return to the subject's control?

Just as Duanmu Ai was thinking, the princess Xue Zi appeared again, but now she was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, but stood there like a doll, motionless.

"I'm sorry, I didn't agree with you before."

At this time, Tiancheng Xue Zi also walked to her soul projection and held her hand.

"I want to escape, I want someone to save me, this is indeed my feeling..."

"………………"

Hearing Tiancheng Xue Zi's words, the soul projection smiled slightly, and then a ray of light appeared on its body, and then——I saw it turned into a substitute-like existence and appeared behind Tiancheng Xue Zi.

"So that's how it came about."

Seeing this, Duanmu Ai finally understood how these electronic demon-like things appeared on the bodies of these ordinary-looking boys and girls. In this way, their complicated expressions before can be understood - well, in other words, these stand-ins are actually the crystallization of their dark history.

This is really interesting. I didn’t expect that I could accidentally discover the existence of subspace here...

"By the way, Yukiko, how on earth did you appear here?"

At this time, Satonaka Chie also raised her inner doubts to her friend.

"We were shocked when we saw you on TV."

"Huh? Sorry, I don't know very well. I just remember that I was helping in the hotel, and then it seemed that a guest came, and I went to receive it... Then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was already here. . Sorry, I don’t really remember what happened at that time..."

"That's it..."

Hearing Yukiko Amagi's answer, Satonaka Chie frowned, while Yu Narukami looked around in confusion.

"Why is it missing?"

"Huh? Speaking of which..."

After hearing what their companions were saying, the others raised their heads and looked around, only to see that the mysterious pink girl pig had disappeared without a trace. It seemed that just when they focused their attention on Amagi Yukiko, the other party had quietly disappeared without a trace.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the reactions of others, Amagi Yukiko, who was confused, asked, and Satonaka Chie finally came to her senses and made a decision.

"Anyway, let's get out of here first. Xuezi has been missing for a while. She is very weak and needs to rest as soon as possible."

"That's right, let's go."

Putting their inner doubts behind them, the four of them left this weird palace and returned to the street. Then they got into a TV placed in the window and disappeared from the subspace. .

It was only then that Duanmu Ai, wearing a pink girl pig puppet costume, appeared again.

"So that's it, that's what it's like...well...it's really interesting, huh? But then..."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Ai suddenly thought of something and frowned.

From the current point of view, the soul projection in the subspace will affect the person. So, will it be a similar situation for those guys who have had their desires stolen by the so-called Phantom Thieves of the Heart and repented? Those Phantom Thieves, like these teenagers, have the ability to enter the subspace, and then they use this ability to do something to the soul projection of the subspace, so those people will change their temperament drastically and then regret it?

Indeed, electronic demons say it is impossible, but if it is subspace and soul projection...

There is also the information they heard from Hanamura and the others before. According to them, the reason why they are worried that Amagi Yukiko will be the next victim is that Amagi Yukiko is also connected to the victims of the previous two cases - the death of Mayumi Yamano I once stayed in Amagi Yukiko's hotel for some time.

Of course, the relationship between the two parties seems to end there.

But at least, this is a clue.

So, who brought Yukiko Amagi to the subspace?

Satonaka Chie asked just now, but Amagi Yukiko didn't have an answer, while Hanamura and Narukami thought it was probably the Phantom Thieves of the Heart.

But no matter what, they are right about one thing - that is, there must be some kind of people with special abilities who can enter the subspace, who can do this kind of thing.

As for whether it's the Phantom Thieves... Duanmu Ai doesn't think it's them.

Oh, it’s not that they don’t have the ability, it just means that they don’t have the IQ.

Especially for an idiot like Sakamoto Ryuji, it's surprising that he could complete the first murder without leaving any evidence.

It seems that the priority of investigation cases needs to be adjusted.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Ai also made a decision.

As for the Phantom Thieves, because of their rumors, they probably won't make any further moves in the short term. Just so I can devote my energy to this case. After all, the soul projection in subspace is a big topic, and Duanmu Ai also wants to see if the death of the soul projection will have some connection with himself. Anchor Yamano and Konishi Zaoji were killed before, and no useful clues were found at the scene. Does this mean that like Yukiko Amagi, they were taken to subspace and then killed by the projection of their own souls? What about?

If this is the case, then the situation is much more complicated.

And... maybe we can find that bastard who has been living alone for sixty years here!
