Chapter 124: Turmoil
"Tsk tsk, it really is becoming a dead city. I'm afraid this force will only grow more solid," Yang Xiaoyou said, glancing up at the gloomy sky while unloading items from the supermarket.
He had already grasped the essence of power, and in his memories from a past life, he had reached a peak unattainable by ordinary humans. He was quite sensitive to the changes in various forces.
In the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, with millions of lives lost, the grievances and fears of those who died were continuously accumulating, forming a natural aura of death that enveloped the entire sky above Tokyo.
Given this scale, even if it spread across the entire metropolitan area, once all the corpses naturally became inactive, it would still have a profoundly lasting impact.
A couple of days ago, this force was still in the process of forming; now it had solidified further. At this rate, it would likely continue to intensify in the future.
In ancient terms, this could be described as gathering malevolent energy.
In fact, at present, this force had already begun to exert subtle effects on ordinary people. It enhanced negative emotions such as fear and panic. The widespread chaos had connections to this force, which could provoke negative feelings in those with unstable minds.
Such an observable phenomenon of naturally forming forces was rare. Witnessing its condensation from beginning to now, Yang Xiaoyou felt he had gained some understanding of this mysterious Spirit Realm.
Back when he was in the laboratory, those old madmen had extensively studied these mental phenomena. In their words, this was a strange magnetic field generated by the mutual influence of human bodies and brain waves. If the interaction between emotions and murderous intent dissipated continuously, once their mass or quantity reached a certain level, condensation would occur—this was the essence of power.
However, delving deeper into specifics proved elusive even with their sophisticated instruments.
Ancient texts from countries like China and India recorded methods for testing based solely on human bodies over time. Yang Xiaoyou had thoroughly scoured through these texts before.
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Are you considering joining me?" At that moment, the Silver-Haired Princess approached lazily while continuing her calculations.
"Shouldn't you be overseeing everything instead of coming here? It's chaotic," Yang Xiaoyou replied with some annoyance as he tried to steer clear of her topic.
"If such detailed arrangements still go awry, then I can't help it. How about you fulfill one wish of mine before I die?" Fia looked at Yang Xiaoyou with hopeful eyes but quickly shifted the subject again.
Just as she finished speaking, a figure behind her struck her head with an open hand. Fia clutched her head in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Weimar, you—" She intended to turn around and complain but froze when she saw that it was Chen Wuyou who had hit her.
"Flat-chested girl, you're in the way," Chen Wuyou said, maintaining her hand in a knife-like position, her expression completely blank.
"You, you, what are you! I'll fight you!" Upon hearing the sound of Chen Wuyou's strike hitting its mark, Fia lunged at her with claws outstretched. However, Chen Wuyou, being slightly taller, easily held Fia's head back with one hand. No matter how much Fia flailed her arms, she couldn't knock her opponent down.
At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou looked at the two in front of her with a hint of annoyance. Well, when it came to chest size, Fia and Dream Butterfly were indeed lacking compared to others, even falling short of Girl and Feng Lin. Especially now that it was cold and their down jackets were puffed up like dumplings, they couldn't showcase themselves like Chen Wuyou could. Not to mention Charming Shadow, who looked like a sexy maid.
In contrast to Dream Butterfly's carefree attitude towards others' comments, it was clear that Fia was somewhat sensitive about this aspect.
Seeing Weimar not far away seemingly wanting to help, Yang Xiaoyou stepped forward and positioned herself in front of the two girls. Holding a box of canned goods with a slight smile and an innocent expression, she looked at Weimar.
However, upon seeing Yang Xiaoyou's actions, Weimar couldn't help but pause and frown. After hesitating for a moment while glancing at the 'heated' situation between the two girls, he ultimately decided against intervening. That woman looked just like an ordinary person; besides, this kind of 'playful' interaction wasn't too serious. Letting the princess experience a little setback would be good to prevent her from running wild later on.
"Don't worry, it's just a bit of fun. Besides, as long as nothing unexpected happens, Sister Fia can handle it," Yang Xiaoyou casually remarked as she passed by Weimar.
Just as Yang Xiaoyou finished speaking about the unexpected situation, it indeed occurred.
From around the corner in the opposite direction of Tokyo Port came some rather chaotic sounds. A group of individuals dressed in black suits appeared to be in disarray as they rushed towards them.
Seeing that group running over with guns in hand made Yang Xiaoyou's face turn pale. "Please don't be this troublesome."
The only fortunate thing was that the guns those fellows were holding were equipped with silencers; their sporadic gunfire towards the pursuing corpses wasn't too frequent. The number of corpses chasing after them didn't seem too high either.
As the group rushed over and spotted the students quietly dealing with the corpses on the street, they paused in surprise, seemingly not expecting to encounter anyone else in such a situation.
"Mr. Nobunaga Hideyoshi, don't shoot! It's me! Lower your guns! We're on the same side!" A man wearing a trench coat with a scarf that was almost falling off his neck called out from within the group.
However, his voice attracted a wave of wandering corpses nearby towards him. Fortunately, they had silenced weapons; within range, they managed to clean up the corpses quite quickly.
Upon seeing the man who spoke up, Yang Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow. Although he looked somewhat disheveled and had smudges on his face, she recognized him as Shinoda Kenichi—the popular candidate from Yamaguchi-gumi Sixth Generation whom she had originally come to Japan to discuss business with.
Meanwhile, Nobunaga Hideyoshi and Lucas had released several armed gunmen upon hearing Shinoda's command. Once their guns were lowered, they also ceased their actions and helped clean up the startled corpses.
Weimar, who had initially prepared to step in and assist, also halted his movements at this moment.
The Underworld organization in Japan is notorious, but their laws regarding firearms are quite strict. As a result, while the proportion of gun ownership among the Underworld is not very high, almost all firearms are high-quality and equipped with excellent silencing capabilities. In terms of sheer quality, they often surpass the weapons carried by the police.
Perhaps it is due to this situation that Shinoda Kenichi, this fellow, managed to escape. From their appearance, it seems they are also preparing to withdraw from Tokyo Port.
After seeing that the situation was gradually being brought under control and that all the Corpses near the corner had been dealt with, the students who had been startled by the sudden turn of events began to regain their composure.
However, just moments ago, one student had mishandled a situation and was scratched by a Corpse.
This incident left Yang Xiaoyou feeling somewhat displeased. Although she did not know that student, it was still part of Hive Security Company's honor to handle this situation. It was frustrating that such a blunder led to someone getting hurt; she truly wanted to give those fellows who had escaped a piece of her mind.
Meanwhile, leaving Chen Wuyou behind, Fia rushed over and upon seeing the scene before her, decisively organized the students to carry out a systematic retreat, preparing to head to the subway station for safety.
During the evacuation, under her direction, everything proceeded quite orderly. After Nobunaga Hideyoshi and his group began patching up any gaps in defense, no further injuries occurred.
After about fifteen minutes, they completed the cleanup operation and eliminated all the activated Corpses.
"Great! I can't believe I would run into Mr. Nobunaga Hideyoshi and your subordinates here. You must help me this time; I’ll cover the expenses!" Upon arriving at the subway station, Shinoda Kenichi wasted no time and tightly grasped Nobunaga Hideyoshi's hand, shaking it vigorously with an excited expression.
