Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

"This is considered a class reunion after school..."

The girl's fingertips holding the water cup turned slightly white, and her sharp tongue, which was always so powerful on weekdays, was now stuck in her throat.

Accidentally spotting the two leftover pork chop rice dishes she and Machida Sonoko had eaten on the table, Kasumigaoka Utaha tapped her toes awkwardly and feigned composure, saying, "I think I deserve an explanation, mysterious junior—are you still the eldest son of this monstrous Silver Crown Star Ring chaebol?"

"You can think of it that way for now." Jiang Lianqiu nodded.

This answer made Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes tremble slightly, and the next second, Machida Sonoko hugged her arm and shook her. The editor said excitedly: "Utaha-chan! You're rich!!!"

"The Silver Crown is what our president of the Busei River wants—"

"Shut up and eat your pork chop rice!" Kasumigaoka Utaha pinched the soft flesh of Machida Sonoko's waist again, then straightened her messy hair. Following up on what Machida Sonoko had just said about President Fuzuigawa, she asked suspiciously, "The library suddenly stopped publishing the subsequent light novels. Is it because of you, Junior Brother?"

"That was just a necessary precaution. Of course, given the current situation, the library's business can resume."

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up, Jiang Lianqiu said again, "But the second volume of your novel may need major revisions. This is a necessary insurance policy."

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to you slowly..."

Chapter 37: Did you slap an alien in the face on the moon?

Jiang Lianqiu did not reveal the matter of the mechanical servants and the star port, but only revealed some information that could be revealed in his capacity as the true controller of the super chaebol "Silver Crown Star Ring" on Earth.

Even so, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko were stunned.

The worldview built up over the past decade collapsed, and I suddenly learned that there were cults hidden in the society I had lived in since I was a child... Well, this is actually nothing. In fact, although the cults in Japanese society are not as rampant as those in South Korea or West Korea, there are still quite a lot of cult groups that can be named or not.

But... the evil god?

My own novel manuscript was contaminated! ?

How could she, an ordinary high school girl and light novel writer, be targeted by such an extraordinary being?

"…Relax, it's probably just bad luck, right?"

"Now that you mention it, I feel even more worried, Junior." Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes and started shaking her legs in annoyance.

"According to what you said, the manuscript will spread some kind of contamination. Are you okay, Junior?"

There was concern hidden in her beautiful wine-red eyes. It was obvious that Kasumigaoka Utaha was thinking about the fact that Jiang Lianqiu had also read the original manuscript of her novel.

Jiang Lianqiu tapped his fingertips rhythmically on the table and said with a smile, "I've started tracking all the contaminated individuals around the world. And there's good news: we've found the original source of the contamination."

He turned his head and glanced at the huge testing ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"It's an ancient coin in your lucky cat piggy bank, Senior."

"No wonder." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked over thoughtfully. "I was wondering why you didn't come to school today, even though it's the first day of classes. Are you busy with this?"

It seems that I discovered a problem with the manuscript of my novel after school yesterday, so I have been busy until now.

"Senior seems to have accepted it quite quickly?" Jiang Lianqiu looked in surprise at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had begun to care about him in return.

"Is it strange?" Kasumigaoka raised the corners of her mouth, crossed her arms across her chest, and lifted up her breasts, which were already bulging out of her school uniform jacket. "After going through so many things, not to mention it, have you forgotten what I do?"

"Even though I write about boring romance, it doesn't mean I won't dabble in other things."

Are all light novel writers so receptive?

Jiang Lianqiu pointed at Machida Yuanzi: "She should have seen as much as you..."

When Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head, she saw Machida Sonoko with her mouth open so wide that an egg could fit in it.

The editor, feeling uneasy at first and then shocked, remained in this stunned state for several minutes.

Being stared at by everyone in the room, Machida Sonoko shuddered and suddenly asked cautiously in a tearful voice, "I... I won't be killed, right?"

A colleague who had worked with her for many years turned out to be a cultist. Machida Sonoko now trembles all over whenever she thinks of Yamada Shunsuke.

She doesn't think anyone is a good person now.

Jiang Lianqiu comforted him, "Don't worry, we will arrange the follow-up matters. At least you don't have to worry about your personal safety."

After receiving Jiang Lianqiu's assurance and thinking about the various rumors about the Silver Crown Star Ring in the market, Machida Yuanzi finally felt relieved.

"So, Senior. Do you have anything to say about the ancient coins in your piggy bank?"

Jiang Lianqiu finally changed the topic to business.

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned, recalling the past, and hesitated as she said, "I don't know much either. It's said that my grandfather gave that ancient coin to my father, and later he gave it to me. If I must say where there's a clue, it might be in the old house in the countryside. Although my grandparents have passed away, the old house is well preserved. But I have to be clear, I can't guarantee that I'll find anything useful to you there."

"Come to think of it, although I didn't have much contact with my grandfather, my father told me that he was an archaeologist."

Jiang Lianqiu: “…”

Hey (stretching his voice) ~ That’s right!

Anyone who has anything to do with K's curious stuff is either an archaeologist, a folklorist, a historian or an astronomer.

Especially in archaeology and astronomy, people who study these two things in a world view where there are elements of gravity can easily become experts in seeking death on the spot and secretly surprise everyone without making any noise.

Since he couldn't get any more clues from Kasumigaoka Utaha, Jiang Lianqiu simply stood up, straightened his sleeves, and said, "Let's go and take a look at the research results."

After a pause, he remembered that it was getting late, so he asked, "Sister, do you want to call home?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha answered naturally, "Dad suddenly received a business trip notice this morning and will be back in a few days. Mom received a call from grandma last night saying that something happened at home, so she rushed over this morning. No one was home."

This……

Isn't it a bit too coincidental?

As expected, Belfast smiled and said, "We did it. After all, the task of eradicating information about Miss Kasumigaoka's residence is no small undertaking."

So Kasumigaoka and Machida Sonoko were horrified on the spot, and deeply felt the terrifying side of the Silver Crown Star Ring's capital that was silently revealed in modern society.

……Dividing line……

Even after entering the experimental field that they had seen for a long time through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the interrogation room, Kasumigaoka and Machida Sonoko could not help but marvel at it.

Although they had no idea what they were seeing, they were deeply shocked by the various devices they saw along the way.

Are those ubiquitous holographic screens real? Those strange, bright lights in the air, like ribbons of light, are clearly more than just illumination, right?

When did human technology develop to this level?

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Jiang Lianqiu who was walking in front of her and wanted to ask: Did your family beat up aliens with big slaps on the moon?

Belfast led everyone to a test bench soon.

Von Neumeow, who was busy here, stopped his work and hurried over.

Jiang Lianqiu interrupted before she could salute again, "Tell me the details."

"Uh... OK, Commander!" Von Neumeow felt a little uncomfortable as he was stuck in the middle. When Kasumigaoka and Machida heard the title of Commander for the second time, they finally realized that something was wrong.

But before they had time to think about it, their attention was attracted by von Neumeow's words.

Chapter 38: The old man was also a romantic figure when he was young

In front of me is a cubic platform with a shiny surface, about half a person's height.

On the platform, ancient coins bound by a suspension force field floated in the air. Four light curtains shot down from above the platform formed a closed space that completely isolated the inside from the outside world.

Jiang Lianqiu noticed that this ancient coin looked slightly smaller than the palm of an adult male. It was disc-shaped, green in color, and had jagged etching marks on the edge.

The outer circle is a pentagram, with seven tentacles wrapped around it, and the ends of the tentacles split into smaller suction cups.

In the center of the pentagram is a yellow seal, inside which is a single eye with a spiral pupil, and inside the pupil is a miniature wedge-shaped inscription with the words "Yha-Nthlei".

Jiang Lianqiu took a glance at it, and inexplicably, he clearly understood the meaning of these words that clearly did not belong to any language of human civilization.

(Hasta's Deep Sea City...)

At the same time, Jiang Lianqiu also noticed that the lower part of the front of the coin was engraved with a phrase similar to Phoenician letters, but it also came from an alien civilization - He whispers from the abyss, and all who see this seal will be his servant.

"Tsk!"

The floating coin slowly rotated on the platform, revealing the back of the sun wheel that had been torn into three pieces by the tentacles. Rust that looked like dark red blood could be seen seeping out of the cracks in the torn sun wheel.

There is a very strange phrase on the base of the sun gear.

That seems to be an additional supplement added by later generations using other materials - RespiceFinem (End of Awe).

What's strange is that the letter S has turned into a curled tentacle.

"...There's no doubt this isn't a coin, but some kind of sacrificial object. It comes from a distant alien planet, as the materials and technology used to forge it are definitely beyond the reach of human civilization."

"But the ancient humans who obtained this coin still managed to glue brand new text onto it using materials from Earth. This is the phrase on the back that you see today, Commander."

"After analysis, I have concluded that the history of this sacrificial coin can theoretically be traced back to five billion years ago..."

"Isn't that the time when the solar system had not yet been born?" Jiang Lianqiu thought that this coin might have a very old history, but he didn't expect it to be so old.

Five billion years ago, not only the solar system, but even the servitor civilization and the group of "masters" who originally created the servitors had not yet been born.

Von Neumew pushed his black-framed glasses up, his eyes filled with the excitement of a scientist facing the unknown. "Also, Commander. This coin carries the same 'representational signal' as... Lord Befa's 'Mind Cube,' which doesn't belong to us."

Jiang Lianqiu was stunned for a moment, then realized what von Neumao meant.

——This thing is no longer a product of the earth, it is not even from this universe, it comes from another world!

"We carefully analyzed the remnants of information from this universe carried on the coin, tracing back through time, and ultimately concluded that it appeared during that devastating war. Just like the Mind Cube."

Jiang Lianqiu: “…”

An ancient thing with a history that can be traced back at least 5 billion years, fell into this universe when Su Zheng and the mechanical servant were fighting each other.

Well, so it was you and Su Zheng who caused the trouble by fighting each other?

"So, given that this thing has traveled across different universes, this process would have significantly destroyed the amount of information it carries, and the 'five billion years old' estimate is likely to be significantly inaccurate."

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko were already confused. They were like those unlucky students who were in a calculus class and just stared blankly for a minute, and when they came to their senses, they found that the blackboard was filled with incomprehensible writings that they could not understand at all.

"You must be kidding..." Kasumigaoka Shiina tapped her head in pain. "I remember my grandfather told me a story when I was a child. Didn't he say that this coin was obtained during an adventure in Italy when he was young?"

"Isn't your grandfather an archaeologist?" Jiang Lianqiu asked curiously.

"He's doing archaeology all over the world." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head. "When I was little, my grandfather always told me all sorts of stories. He told me about all sorts of incredible adventures he'd had, and how he'd saved the world with others when he was young... I just treated them like bedtime stories."

"Perhaps it's because I've heard so many stories like this since I was a kid that I've chosen this path?"

Jiang Lianqiu suddenly became interested.

"Save the world? Tell me more."

In the past, he would have regarded these as jokes played by the old man to coax his granddaughter, but in this situation, he always felt that the deceased grandfather Kasumigaoka was probably not talking nonsense.

"They're all really bizarre stories," Kasumigaoka recalled, nudging the corner of her mouth with her fingertips. "For example, meeting a young man named Joseph Joestar, forming the Star Crusaders, and thwarting the conspiracy of a villain named Kaz—huh? Junior, why do you look so weird?"

When people can't hold it in any longer, they usually can't hold it in any longer.

Who would have thought that Kasumigaoka could be connected to JOJO! ?

Is that old man Kasumigaoka so powerful?

"Befa, we should have complete monitoring of the entire solar system, right?" Jiang Lianqiu asked in a somewhat dizzy tone.

Belfast nodded: "Yes, what's the matter, Master?"

"Have you spotted Kaz floating in the sky outside Earth? I mean, an Ultimate Lifeform that has stopped thinking and is wandering in space like a meteorite..."

Kasumigaoka, Machidaenko: ""? ? ? ? ""

Belfast smiled confidently, "I can absolutely guarantee that these things do not exist in the solar system, and that no supernatural forces or events exist on Earth—of course, all of this must be before that day."

The so-called day naturally refers to the day when Jiang Lianqiu turned fifteen years old.

So, the story that Mr. Kasumigaoka claimed to have participated in JOJO's Bizarre Adventure is completely fabricated?

"I say, Senior, haven't you asked your grandfather, since he can fight back and forth with JOJO and Kaz, why doesn't he teach you this thing called Ripple?"

"How do you know about the ripple?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes widened. "Forget it, I'll ask you about that later. When I was a kid, I naively asked Grandpa if I could become as powerful as he said, but Grandpa said..."
