Chapter 840 Group Unconsciousness

"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 watchful eyes 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 this."

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 fell into the depression in the wall. He tried desperately to struggle, but at this moment, 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. Weird 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, I just 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 Shido 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 misfortune until I awakened this power, and that’s when I thought my time for revenge had come!”

"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 doesn't know who I am at all. In fact, I did think about getting rid of this guy in his heart at first. But at that time, I learned one thing from his heart - Shido Zhengyi was at odds with members of the ruling party, and the latter fabricated evidence to try to frame him, so I came up with an idea. I can take this opportunity to get close to Shido Zhengyi and become his assistant. Then, I will help him get to the position he wants."

Speaking of this, Akechi Goro's eyes were red and he clenched his teeth tightly.

"At that time, I will tell him in person that I am his son! The son he abandoned! I want to see what kind of expression Shido Zhengyi will show on his face at that time!"

"…………………………"

How to say it, Duanmu Ai can't understand the reason of Akechi Goro at all. What does he want to say?

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

"What did Shido Masayoshi want to do by collecting cognitive science?"

"I think he probably didn't think about what he was going to do with cognitive science at first. Before that, Shido Masayoshi just regarded cognitive science as a boring research to cheat funds. Until I showed up, he changed his mind. In order to prevent the research from being leaked, he stopped further research on cognitive science and even killed the main researcher at the time."

"I see."

After hearing what Akechi Goro said, Duanmu Ai finally understood the situation. In short, Shido Masayoshi himself didn't believe in the existence of cognitive science and subspace at first, but after Akechi Goro showed up and used this world to eliminate several enemies for Shido Masayoshi, he believed it all. In order to prevent this method from being leaked, Shido Masayoshi used his power to forcibly stop the research on cognitive science and killed the researcher at the time to avoid leaks...

Hmm? Wait.

"You said late night TV, which means that the victims are not just the Shanye anchors? Someone died before this?"

"This............"

Hearing Duanmu Ai's question, Mingzhi Goro was stunned for a moment and hesitated, while Duanmu Ai raised the war hammer again without hesitation and aimed at his left hand.

"Wait, wait a minute! I really can't remember it. I remember that I heard the rumor, and then I did watch TV in the rain late at night, but... I really can't remember whether there were any dead people!"

"Since you have seen late night TV, the people who appeared in it must have been killed."

"I really don't know!"

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

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

"Didn't you hear it from a classmate?"

"Maybe... maybe... Anyway, I'm not sure..."

The confusion on Mingzhi Goro's face is real, which is not surprising. Duanmu Ai will hear a few similar urban legends from those girls every day, but no one is idle to record them.

It's really strange...

Although he said so, Duanmu Ai still felt that something was wrong. When he was in Yukiko Amagi's castle before, he had talked with Yuu Narukami and Chie Satonaka. At that time, they also talked about late-night TV. In short, the rumors were the same. On rainy nights, when you turn on the TV, someone's figure will appear, and then that person will die a few days later.

According to them, the reason they came to investigate this matter was because they watched late-night TV after hearing the rumors before, and found the figure of Saki Konishi, and then two days later, Saki Konishi died. It was from that time that they began to take the rumor seriously, and when Yukiko Amagi, their friend, appeared on late-night TV, it was natural that they could not turn a blind eye to it.

And Mingzhi had just confessed that he was actually the one who did the case of anchor Yamano. Because the anchor Yamano was also the mistress of a certain politician, and that politician happened to be an enemy of Shido Masayoshi, so Shido Masayoshi instructed Akechi Goro to kill the anchor Yamano. In this way, the public would naturally be concerned about her death, and then they would naturally suspect the politician, causing him to lose the support of the people and his current position.

The same was true for the death of Konishi Saki. The reason why Akechi Goro chose Konishi Saki at that time was that Shido Masayoshi hoped to turn this into a serial murder case, so Akechi Goro chose Konishi Saki at that time—the reason was very simple, a high school girl had little power, it was not easy to resist, and it was easy to be taken away.

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

But he failed.

So the fourth time, he chose Kujigawa Risa, just as Duanmu Ai thought, the death of a popular idol would inevitably bring great pressure to the police, especially on the eve of the election, so that the public could deepen the impression that the police were all good-for-nothings. And when the police are severely criticized by the public, Shido Masayoshi will stand up and show his presence to the public. Then as long as Goro Akechi finds the criminal according to Shido Masayoshi's script, it will be a foregone conclusion that Shido Masayoshi will be elected in the election.

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 Slaves who obey 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.
