Chapter 838: The Collective Unconscious

β€œPERSONA!”

Akechi Goro raised his right hand high, and along with his movements, he saw the demon behind him draw his great sword and swing it at Duanmu Ai.

Go to hell!

At this moment, Akechi Goro had a hideous smile on his face, he knew very well that after having this kind of power, in this world, he was almost no different from an electronic demon, and ordinary people were not his opponents at all. Even if they are demon summoners who manipulate electronic demons, once the electronic demons are not around, then they are just ordinary people!

Then, under the gaze of Akechi Goro, I saw Duanmu Ai slowly clench the war hammer in his hand and smash it directly at the sword that looked even taller than her!

"Bang!"

The two sides collided together, but the next scene made Akechi Goro stunnedβ€”β€”β€” the big sword in his demon's hand was directly broken into two under the bombardment of the opponent's war hammer, and then a huge impact hit, and the next moment I saw Akechi Goro's demon collapse instantly, and he also screamed and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

"β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”!!Uhh

It wasn't until there was a hot touch from behind him that Akechi Goro came back to his senses, his eyes widened in surprise, looking at the ceiling in front of himβ€”β€”β€” at the moment his whole body was burning with pain, as if someone had broken every bone in his body with a hammer.

"That's it?"

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

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

"How could it be .........?"

Akechi Goro gritted his teeth and tried desperately to raise his head, but all he saw was Duanmu Ai's contemptuous eyes looking at himβ€”β€”β€” is this the end?" The strength he had gained so hard, why, why would he lose 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 smile.

"It's about the same level as an electronic demon, and it's wishful thinking to win against me."

"Who the hell are you? It is impossible for ordinary people to have this ability........."

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

As he spoke, Duanmu Ai reached out and grabbed Akechi Goro's neck, lifted him up, and then slammed it against the wall, his blue eyes exuding a cold killing intent.

"All right, boy, tell me everything you know, fifteen-ten. Where does your power come from, what does Lion Boy Justice want to do with cognitive cocotics, don't tell me you don't know, you've made it very clear just now, it's clear that you know everything about here. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Akechi goro gritted his teeth and turned his head, everything is not over yet, he has not surrendered yet, just get out of here.........

"Bang!"

"Ahh!!h

The hammer slammed into Akechigoro's right hand, smashing his palm into a bloody mess of meat sauce, the shattered bones mixed with the flesh and sank into a hollow in the wall. He tried desperately to struggle, but at this moment, the bones on Akechigoro's body seemed to be completely shattered, and he didn't listen to the call at all.

"Answer my question, or let's see how long you can last."

"You, what do you want to know?"

At this point, Akechigoro was completely devoid of the graceful demeanor he had had on television, on the contrary, he was in tears, snot was dripping, and his face was full of distorted pain and despair.

"Everything, first of all, how did you get this power? How did you get into this world? Also, what exactly is Lion Boy Justice planning? ”

"My strength......... I just stumbled upon it........."

"By chance?"

"Yes, I remember......... I've heard rumors on nightly TV that someone dies when they are shown on late-night TV. At the time, I just thought it was nonsense, just an urban weird talk. But once, by chance, I accidentally entered this world from the TV and awakened my PERSONA........."

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

"I don't know, I just know that when I awakened this power, the word automatically popped into my head and told me that I was using PERSONA........."

"Go on."

"The reason I'm approaching Lion Boy Justice is simple, because......... He was my father. ”

"Oh?"

I have to say, this is a bonus.

"Are you father and son?"

"Yes, but I don't think he knows, because my mother was the man's mistress, and when I was born, the man abandoned us for fear that my mother and my presence would affect his future! After that, I lived an unlucky life until I awakened to this power, and that's when I thought the moment of my revenge had arrived! ”

"Revenge? But didn't you say before that you've been doing things for lion boy justice? ”

"Humph!"

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

"That man didn't know who I was, in fact, I did think about killing this guy in his inner world in the first place. But at that time, I learned one thing from his heartβ€”β€”β€” at that time, Lion Boy Justice was estranged from the members of the ruling party, who fabricated evidence to try to frame him, so I came up with an idea that I could take this opportunity to get close to Lion Boy Justice and become his assistant. Then, I will help him get to where he wants. ”

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

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

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

How can I say it, Akechi Goro's reason is completely incomprehensible to Duanmu Ai, what is this trying to explain?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter with her.

"What does the Lion Boy Justice Collection Cognitive Kexue want to do?"

"I don't think he thought about what he was going to do with Cognitology in the first place, and until then, Leo Boy Justice had just treated Cocognizology as a frivolous kind of fraudulent research. It wasn't until I showed up that he changed his mind. In order to prevent this research from leaking out, he stopped further research on cognitive science and designed to kill the main researcher at the time. ”

"I see."

Hearing Akechi Goro's statement, Duanmu Ai finally understood the situation, to put it simply, Lion Boy Justice himself didn't believe in the existence of cognitive science and subspace at first, but after Akechi Goro appeared and used this world to get rid of several enemies for Lion Boy Justice, he believed all this, and in order to avoid this method from leaking out, so Lion Boy Justice used his power to forcibly stop the study of cognitive science and killed the researcher at the time to avoid leaking secrets............

Well? Wait a minute.

"You say late-night TV, that is, the victims are not just Shanye anchoring them? Someone died before that? ”

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

Hearing Duanmu Ai's inquiry, Akechi Goro was stunned for a moment and hesitated, while Duanmu Ai did not hesitate to raise the war hammer again and aim at his left hand.

"Wait, wait! I don't really remember, I remember hearing that rumor, and then I did watch TV in the middle of the night when it was raining, but ......... I really can't remember if there are dead people or not! ”

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

"I really don't know!"

At this moment, Akechigoro shook his head like a rattle.

"Trust me, I really don't remember! I can't even remember where I heard about late-night TV! ”

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

"It could also ......... Maybe......... Anyway, I'm not so sure .........."

The confusion on Akechi Goro's face is real, and it's not surprising, similar urban weird talks, Duanmu Ai will hear a few in the mouths of those girls every day, but no one is idle to record these.

It's weird.........

Although that's what he said, Duanmu Ai still felt that something was not quite right, when he was in Amagi Yukiko's castle before, he had talked to Narugami Yu and Satoma Chieda and others, and they also talked about late-night TV at that time, and in short, the rumors were the same, on a rainy night, when you turned on the TV, someone would appear, and then that person would die in a few days.

According to them, the reason why they came to investigate the matter was because they went to watch late-night TV after hearing 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 this rumor seriously, and when Yukiko Amagi β€”β€”β€” their friend appeared on TV late at night, it was naturally even more impossible to turn a blind eye.

And Zhizhi has confessed just now that the case of the anchor Yamano was actually done by him. Because the Yamano anchor is also the mistress of a certain politician, and it just so happens that the politician and the lion boy justice are opposites, so the lion boy justice instructed Akechi Goro to kill the Yamano anchor, so that the public will naturally be concerned about her death, and then naturally suspect the politician, thus making him lose the support of the people and his current position.

The same is true for the death of Saki Konishi next, the reason why Akechi Goro chose Saki Konishi at that time was that Lion Boy Justice wanted to turn this into a serial murder incident, so Akechi Goro chose Saki Konishi at that timeβ€”β€”β€” reason is very simple, a female high school student, she has no strength, she is not easy to resist, and she is easy to be taken away.

As for the third person, it was simply because Akechi Wulang didn't like the mobs very much, and he happened to see the news broadcast that the rampers disturbed the people, so he decided on the candidate.

But it failed.

So for the fourth time, he chose Kujigawa Riyo, just like Duanmu Ai thought, the death of a popular idol will inevitably bring great pressure to the police, especially on the eve of the election, which can deepen the impression that the police are rice buckets. And when the police are criticized by the public, and then the lion boy justice stands up and shows his existence to the people, and then as long as Akechi Wulang finds the culprit according to the lion boy justice script, then the election of the lion boy justice is a sure thing.

As for the method, Akechi Goro also confessed, in fact, there is nothing rare, he also lives in that apartment, so there is no need to check at all. Therefore, what Akechi Goro did was to knock on the door of Kujigawa Riyo as a neighbor, and when she came out, he used drugs to stun her, and then directly threw Kujigawa Riyo into the TVβ€”β€”β€” the TV in Kujigawa Riyo's room was big enough, so naturally he didn't need to drag people out anymore.

In this way, the reason why he chose to start after Duanmu Ai left is very clear, two people are more troublesome than one, and during that time, Duanmu Ai and Kujichuan Riyo were in and out together, and he couldn't find a chance. It wasn't until the day the contract ended, that Duanmu Ai left alone, and Akechi Goro found an opportunity to start.

"Uh-huh..............."

After listening to Akechi Goro's confession, Duanmu Ai fell into thought, although Akechi Goro did answer her own question, but she instinctively felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something and didn't say.

"What else?"

"That's all, really......... Ahh ”

However, before Akechi Goro finished speaking, he saw Duanmu Ai smash down with a hammer again, smashing Akechi Goro's left hand into a blur of flesh and blood.

"That's not enough, go on, I know what you're hiding, if you're not honest, then I'll have to kill you............... Oh, and I don't know if the corpses here will decompose. ”

"Wait, wait, I say, I say!"

Hearing Duanmu Ai's words, Akechi Goro's face turned white, and he could feel that the girl in front of him was really going to kill him. Although this girl looks soft and weak, the killing intent in her eyes makes Akechi Goro feel like he is being held against the neck by a chainsaw, as if the chainsaw will spin and directly cut off his head in the next moment.

"Well, in fact, there is another plan for lion boy justice! It's about cognitive science! The election is only the first step, he wants to manipulate everyone's mental space through cognitive science, and turn the people of this city into slaves who obey him! He called it the Rich Fargo Plan! ”

"Manipulate everyone?"

Faced with 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 that there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city, he just changes one a day, and he can't finish changing it until he retires. ”

"It's not like that!"

Akechi goro shook his head desperately.

"According to cognitive science, there is a place in this world where the spirits of all people merge together, and there is called the group unconscious......... To put it simply, it is the place where everyone's spirits meet, so Lion Boy Justice has thought that as long as he can control that place, he can control everyone's spirits......... Of course, this is still just the beginning, after all, only I have this power........."

"You mean, you know where that place is?"

"At the metro station! Underneath the metro station, the alter ego of all the people in the city is there! They took the subway and kept going deeper, and I don't know where they went. But according to cognitive science, the depths of the subway seem to be the location of the group's subconscious........."

"Didn't you go in?"

"I didn't! I used to think about it, but it's too dangerous inside, and my strength alone is not enough........."

Yo, that's a bonus.

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Duanmu Ai's eyes.

"Well, yes, it looks like you're still a little useful, so go die."

"Bang!"

As soon as the words fell, before Akechi Goro could react, he saw that the war hammer in Duanmu Ai's hand suddenly burst out, smashing directly into Akechi Goro's headβ€”β€”β€” accompanied by a loud bang, when Duanmu Ai picked up the hammer again, only a pile of muddy was left on the wall, as if skull fragments were mixed with brain pulp and flesh, leaving only a residue in the shape of an oval human head.

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

"Well, it looks a lot better than before."

Duanmu Ai looked at Akechi Wulang's already unsightly head with satisfaction, and nodded, what's so beautiful about the little white face, don't you think it's more impressive now?

It's much more interesting than a little white face.

After admiring his work, Duanmu Ai withdrew his gaze.

Okay, let's clean up the lion boy justice, and then ......... Let's go see what the hell is going on on that subway.
