“…… Psychologist Carl Jung's archetypal theory suggests that common traces can be found in the collective image of human beings and in the themes of mythology......"

The warm wind in April made the students in the classroom drowsy, but Li Wu looked at the teacher who was idle in the classroom, listening carefully.

In fact, his gaze was fixed on the teacher's slightly eroded head.

There is a line of white lettering floating there, which stands out against the blackboard.

[A Chinese language teacher who will be completely bald in two or three years]

"I'm afraid the teacher doesn't know what a tragic future awaits him...... No, the most important thing now is to figure out what the hell is going on with these words. ”

Until two weeks ago, Li Wu was an ordinary freshman in high school.

I must say that there was something special about the experience of spending the last three years of primary school and the entire middle school career in a foreign country due to the influence of my father's profession.

But shortly before the start of school, he noticed all sorts of handwriting appearing on the heads of the people in his sight.

Men in a hurry carrying briefcases on the street have words like "office worker" and "social animal" on their heads, aunts who talk and laugh with food baskets are housewives, and high school students who sit and chat in open-air cafes.

At first glance, it looks like the ID displayed according to the profession in the game, but when Li Wu was queuing at the convenience store, he also saw the cashier with the title "Idol Chef" on his head, which obviously has nothing to do with the profession.

He also looked at himself in the mirror, and for some reason no words appeared.

At first, Li Wu thought that he had symptoms of visual hallucinations, but the words were extremely clear, and they didn't look like hallucinations at all.

Especially when he got close to the cashier at the convenience store a few times and confirmed that this was really an avid idol lover, Li Wu thought that this might indeed be his superpower.

Superpowers don't have to be flying away, the novelist's fictional Sherlock Holmes can deduce the professional identity of strangers in a blink of an eye, and the whole reasoning process is even done unconsciously, maybe he has similar abilities.

For example, he may have witnessed a cashier shopping in an idol gown, leaving a subconscious impression.

The ability to subconsciously label people as in line with their essence!

What kind of stereotypical eye is this?

In short, at this time, Li Wu still believed that this ability could be explained logically.

But then, something even more outrageous happened.

He withdrew his gaze from the teacher, who was still babbling about the prototype theory, and turned to look at the table next to him.

[Active Magical Girl~(^_−)☆].

The font is pink Chinese color clouds, and there is an unknown emoji at the end.

The girl at the next table was scribbling on the textbook, she seemed to notice Li Wu's gaze, raised her head and pulled a strand of black hair behind her ear, revealing a somewhat embarrassed smile.

She probably thought that Li Wu was reminding her to take class seriously.

At the beginning of the school year, the class guide asked everyone to introduce themselves, so Li Wu knew that this girl's name was Hoshikawa Aoi, with a beautiful appearance and medium-length black hair, and he would not be surprised if [Beautiful Girl JK] was written on the top of her head.

But it's a magical girl.。

And the anomalies of this class don't stop there.

He looked at the girl who was sleeping in the two seats in front of him, with her shoulder-length hair scattered.

[Vampire].

A girl dressed in fashion and dyed blonde hair in the front right.

[Subhuman race (mimicry)].

What other strange names are [Monster Thief], [Summoning Physique Owner], [Defeated Dog in Romantic Comedy] and so on.

Others have ordinary words like "Student A" and "Student B" on their heads.

Good guy, if this is all true, then Li is really lucky enough to be able to sit in a classroom with you Wolong and Phoenix Chicks.

Li Wu was in a state of doubt, but it was difficult for him to confirm his identity directly to others.

You can't suddenly say to your neighbor, "You don't want to be told that you're doing something like a magical girl."

“…… Dragon-slaying heroes and exorcist priests are embedded in cultural structures and myths and legends around the world...... Well, that's all for today's lesson. ”

The bell rang to announce the end of today's last class.

Most of the freshmen have not yet joined the club, so they either pick up their school bags and go home after school, or gather in twos and threes to chat.

Xingchuan Aoi next to him closed the textbook with a "snap", and hurriedly rushed out of the classroom, so that Li Wu's original abacus that he wanted to chat and test it fell through.

"Li Wu, have you thought about the club you want to join? By the way, I'm definitely from the football club, do you want to sweat it together? ”

The boy at the front table turned back to sit back in his chair and accosted him, he was muscular, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strange hairstyle that resembled an airplane head.

Floating in the door of the head is "Friends are football!" Such subtle and funny bold text has been detached from the form of nouns.

His name is Tsubasa Mizushima, and the two quickly became acquainted with each other because of the relationship between the front and back tables.

"I haven't figured it out yet, but it shouldn't be the football club."

"Don't say that, we can burn blood together, cross strong opponents, dominate the national college football league, and then enter the World Cup!"

"It's too big."

After chatting a few words, Mizushima suddenly said: "But let's go home early today, after all, there has been a murder, so you still have to pay attention to safety." ”

Attracted by the unusual words, Li Wu couldn't help but ask, "What murder?" ”

"Didn't you watch the news? Just the morning before yesterday, it was reported that the body of a man was found in Kamagaya City next door, and it was said that the victim was about the same age as us, and that the death was so tragic that the internal organs were hollowed out. ”

I've been bothered by seeing words lately.,I really haven't paid much attention to the outside world.。 However, since it happened in the city next door, it is unlikely that it will affect you.

If you encounter the murderer, you may be able to judge his identity from the words above your head and bring him to justice.

But if you believe in the mysterious text, it means that you are indeed in a class full of weirdos.

Is Hoshikawa-san really a magical girl?

After saying goodbye to Mizushima, Li Wu, who was walking on his way home from school, remembered that he had not taken his textbooks, so he turned back to school.

As he walked to the edge of the school building, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Although school has been out for a while, it is impossible for all the people on campus to leave, at least there should be students who participate in club activities and teachers who have not yet left work.

But it's so quiet. It's like being on a stage play, it's realistic on the surface, but once you perceive the illusion in it, the dissonance can engulf you like a flood.

At the moment when he had a trance, the scenery of the outside world changed.

I was still in front of the teaching building, but the sky was dyed blood-red, and the blood color expanded and connected to the ground, forming a canopy that enveloped the campus.

Then, just as black ink was poured into clear water, a monstrous monster suddenly appeared in the air.

It looks like a monster with huge eyeballs with bat wings, a monster made of human and animal stumps, a monster with tentacles and huge mouthparts.

Just looking directly at the physical appearance was enough to cause a huge impact on the human spirit, and in Li Wu's eyes, although they were different in form, the same words appeared above the body.

Bright red [Negative Realm Monster].

The instinctive fear of his body urged him to flee from the monsters, but the monsters that had surged him to block the path ahead.

He was forced to run into the school building, hoping to survive for a while.

Strangely, instead of chasing him alive as he had imagined, the monsters headed towards the right side of the school building as if they were not interested in him.

If you run out now, you won't be able to encounter monsters, but the red canopy still hangs over the school, and the exit may be blocked.

After weighing it for a while, Li Wu calmed down his breathing that had become rapid due to nervousness, and decided to stay in the teaching building to observe the monster's movements first.

So, he crouched down in front of the window on the right side of the first floor of the school building and cautiously peered out.

He saw the girl smashing the monster on the playground.

Dressed in a white coat with black trim on the cuffs and hem, wrapped in ornate ribbons, and a lilac rutted dress, revealing her slender legs, a sky-blue shawl hanging down her chest, and long black hair tied with a red bow-shaped headband.

The most important thing is the [Active Magical Girl~(^_−)☆] with a pink Chinese cloud on her head.

This is definitely Hoshikawa-san!

She's a real magical girl!

Although there is a slight error in the style of the painting: instead of a wand, she holds a weapon that is taller than a human and resembles a double-edged axe, the blade of which is as broad as a shield, and between the two blades is a diamond-shaped metal block with a patterned surface, through which the central axis passes through the metal block and forms a barrel-like opening at the end.

At this moment, the murder weapon was wielded by the petite girl like a toy, creating a flying body of flesh on the playground, and every time she hit the monster, it seemed that you could hear the scream of a heavy object cutting through the air and the wail of the deformation of the flesh.

Soon, the speed of her movement was difficult to be captured by Li Wu with the naked eye, and she could only see that terrifying monsters being smashed and crushed like rag dolls.

"Phew, although I was a little shocked, Hoshikawa-san seems to be able to deal with these monsters."

"It's really shocking, I don't know which side is the monster."

As soon as Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he was startled by the voice coming from behind, and he quickly turned around.

In front of her was a girl with short hair and glasses, and she asked curiously, "Are you also a student who strayed into this place?" ”

Li Wu's face stiffened, and he tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Yes, I didn't expect someone to be involved here, I see that the monsters outside have gone to the playground, and there are people who can deal with them, why don't we go out and see if we can leave the school?"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already set off and walked out.

As he passed by the girl, his left hand was caught.

She said eagerly, "No, there may be monsters coming out of the outside, so let's stay in the school building first." ”

Li Wu tried to shake off his hand: "I think there may be monsters in the teaching building." ”

However, it did not break free. The force coming from his hand was unexpectedly strong, and it was still tightening.

He sighed and turned around and threw a right fist into the short-haired girl's glasses.

The next moment, he was thrown out and hit the concrete floor hard.

His weight is not too heavy by the standards of a male high school student, but it is definitely not a level that would be thrown off by ordinary girls of the same generation.

"Ahem...... This classmate, in fact, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and it was just an instinctive reaction to my hand being caught, can I reconcile? ”

This unusual glasses girl took off her glasses with half of the broken lenses, and rubbed her right eye with some distress: "Violence is not good." But people are really curious, how did you see through me? ”

Her figure faded away with the words, and finally disappeared into thin air completely.

"Guess?" Li Wu looked at the line of text that was still floating in the air and said.

【Hidden Woman (Attack: 1/2 times)】

The words in parentheses came out of the punch he had just punched, and although he was curious about what would happen if he hit again, he suppressed the thought of death, stood up and ran.

Cryptopo is the name of a type of yokai that is spread in the western part of this country called Sakurajima.

It is also known as the sub-demon, and legend has it that it often lurks in the corners of alleys or in the dead corners of the house, and when the child comes, it is abducted and then squeezed for oil.

However, in retrospect, the so-called "lurking in the dead end" may be a misreading.

Perhaps the reason why the Hidden Woman is so difficult to spot is that it does have the ability to become invisible.

After confirming Hoshikawa's identity, Li Wu has fully believed in the authenticity of the text.

There wasn't much suspense in this chase. Li Wu's first choice is to run out of the teaching building, judging from the actions of the monsters, she is somewhat afraid of the active magical girl.

However, the difference in athleticism between the two sides was too great, and Yin Po's physical fitness was likely to be above that of humans, so she easily caught up with Li Wu and threw him against the wall.

It didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill him, but like a game of cat and mouse, it didn't let him escape from the school building and forced him to hide in the classroom.

He also tried to call for help, but he couldn't summon a magical girl, so he could only be beaten by the hidden woman.

Now, Li Wu is hiding in a classroom in his first year of high school, panting.

The monster was standing outside the classroom window, deliberately saying to himself, "Ahhhhhhhh ”

Then there was a sound of footsteps.

But Li Wu could clearly see that the line [Yin Po (number of attacks: 1/2 times)] was still floating outside the window, probably wanting to continue playing with the prey.

It doesn't know that it can see through invisibility through its "nickname".

When it punched it himself, it rubbed its right eye.

If it weren't for the posturing, then the physical blow might still be effective against it - in fact, by the standard of Miss Magical Girl who drove the unequaled in the playground, the physical ability of this youkai is not too outrageous.

Li Wu lifted a chair and came to the window with a cautious posture, as if to check if the monster was really gone.

Then he slammed it down the text with all his might.

At least try what happens after you meet the number of hits in parentheses!

Along with the shattering of the glass, Li Wu heard the sound of flesh and stainless steel colliding and the sound of pain in the tone of the glasses girl.

He didn't care about the results, but ran straight out of the classroom.

But before he could get far, a force far greater than before grabbed him and threw him back into the classroom through another unbroken window.

Glass shards spilled all over the ground, and Li Wu felt the warm liquid flowing out of his head and body, his back hurt terribly, and his bones were probably broken.

He struggled to half-sit up and picked up a decent-sized piece as a final dying throe.

"You can see through my invisibility?"

The Hidden Woman showed her body and said in an angry tone for the first time.

"Forget it, no matter how you do it, it's going to be my food soon."

She walked towards Li Wu: "After eating this meal, let's go back to Sickle Valley, this city is really evil." ”

Kamagaya ...... Is it true that the murder mentioned by Mizushima was also her fault? Am I going to be eaten by this monster soon?

The desire to survive and his disgust for cannibals were mixed together, burning his brain like flames, and with the severe injury, Li Wu felt that he had become groggy, and suddenly he seemed to see distorted words appear in front of him.

【Hidden Po (Attack: 2/2 times)】

[Story ingredient extraction: You encountered an unclean thing in a demonic moment and resisted it.] 】

【Image Sublimation】

He felt that many images had crashed into his mind: a Taoist priest pulling out yellow paper and sticking it on the head of a zombie, a man holding a cross to drive away a demon possessing an ordinary person, a woman dressed as a witch dancing to ward off evil spirits, and a white-haired old man with a double sword slashing an alien monster......

[Prototype Extraction - Exorcist, Default Loading]

The Hidden Po stopped, and she suddenly felt an aura of disgust and vigilance coming from the dying prey in front of her.

Li Wu raised the glass shard in his hand, which reflected his face, but the words were no longer visible above his head as before, but a line of calligraphy that danced like a flame appeared, emitting red light against the light cast into the classroom by the blood-colored sky:

[Exorcist (3% completion)].
