Zongman: Evolution Paradise Chapter 099

“My friend, I’ve finally found you. Let us achieve glory together!”

A peculiar man with square-rimmed glasses, white hair tied into a ponytail at the back, a stout build, and wearing a Sherlock Holmes-esque coat, shouted at them.

“Who is he talking about?” Yui Yuigahama whispered.

Hachiman Hikigaya already had his hands on his forehead, his head lowered.

“He’s Hikigaya’s friend,” Xu Lun replied.

“If you’re here to find someone, please feel free. If it’s a request, please introduce yourself first.” Yukino Yukinoshita stood up.

Facing Yukino Yukinoshita’s icy words, he maintained his strange pose. “I am the Sword Saint General, Yoshiteru Shibazaki! I am here to entrust you with a mission.”

“Are you here to request a cure for a mental illness?” Yukino Yukinoshita retorted unceremoniously.

“Yukinon is amazing!” Yui Yuigahama raised her small hands, her eyes sparkling.

Xu Lun glanced at her, secretly muttering to himself, “Dumpling, you’re a bot.”

“You are not here by my contract, to fulfill my wish.”

Speaking in strange, incomprehensible words, Yoshiteru Shibazaki kept staring at Hachiman Hikigaya.

“I’m talking to you. Please don’t look elsewhere when speaking to someone.”

“He’s a chuunibyou. Please give me a moment.” Hachiman Hikigaya, embarrassed, got up and pulled Yoshiteru Shibazaki away, fundamentally preventing his astonishing remarks from emerging.

“So Hikigaya actually has friends,” Yui Yuigahama remarked strangely.

“It doesn’t seem to be that kind of relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been dragged here by Hiratsuka-sensei to the Service Club,” Yukino Yukinoshita analyzed.

After a long while, Hachiman Hikigaya finally walked back in with Yoshiteru Shibazaki.

Hachiman Hikigaya explained to everyone, “Shibazaki wants to write a novel and wants to commission our Service Club to help him gather material.”

“Precisely so. Although my inspiration is inexhaustible, it still needs to be close to reality.”

Who knows what Hachiman Hikigaya said, but Yoshiteru Shibazaki’s chuunibyou seemed to have lessened considerably.

“So, what kind of novel is this material for?” Xu Lun asked curiously.

If he wanted to write about Tokyo’s neon lights, they couldn’t just go to Tokyo. If he wanted to write about Takamagahara’s extravagance, they couldn’t bring Shibazaki to infiltrate it.

“It’s a horror theme. The content is about General Shibazaki exorcising ghosts and breaking curses, discovering crises, saving the world, and then…” Yoshiteru Shibazaki gushed, seemingly wanting to read the novel’s content to them first.

“Who writes a novel and puts their own name in it?” Yui Yuigahama said strangely. Coupled with the theme, she found Yoshiteru Shibazaki’s behavior even more peculiar.

“So what material do you actually need?” Yukino Yukinoshita calmly glanced at the evil spirit above Yoshiteru Shibazaki’s head. When it heard Yoshiteru Shibazaki wanted to write a horror theme, it stretched its neck and poked its missing head into Yoshiteru Shibazaki’s mouth.

However, this ordinary evil spirit had no ability to harm people, and most people couldn’t see it.

Shibazaki pushed up his reflective glasses and said eerily, “Have you ever heard of the Seven Mysteries of Sobu High?”

“The Seven Mysteries of Sobu High?” Yui Yuigahama suddenly remembered something.

Xu Lun, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Hachiman Hikigaya all had question marks on their faces.

Yui Yuigahama explained softly, “They are school urban legends circulating among students, known as the Seven Great Mysteries…”

“Exactly! My material gathering is to witness these existences firsthand and then write an excellent horror novel!” Yoshiteru Shibazaki shouted passionately. Above his head, where he couldn’t see, the evil spirit had already taken off its own head.

Event divider…

Because Yoshiteru Shibazaki said that no urban legends would appear at noon, their time for completing the material gathering request was after school in the afternoon.

“I have categorized the Seven Mysteries by terror level. To give you time to prepare, we will verify all events from weakest to strongest, step by step.”

“Aren’t you just scared yourself?”

“I am General Shibazaki! How could I be scared!”

Hachiman Hikigaya, seeing that he could no longer hide his relationship with the chuunibyou Yoshiteru Shibazaki, walked at the very front with him.

“Will there really be any urban legends?” Yukino Yukinoshita whispered to Xu Lun.

“No…” Xu Lun suddenly remembered Ms. Sadako who lived next door, then changed his mind and said, “Maybe, but there shouldn’t be any difficult situations to resolve.”

Xu Lun glanced at his two points of luck. If necessary, it could be increased to three points. From a metaphysical perspective, he should be quite lucky.

Yui Yuigahama noticed them whispering and quickly pulled Yukino Yukinoshita away, making a goofy face at Xu Lun.

“Don’t be scared, Yukinon. I’ll protect you later.”

Pulled away, Yukino Yukinoshita smiled helplessly.

“The first mystery is called the Mysterious Sports Storage Room. Every time there’s a sports festival, someone sees figures in the locked storage room. It’s said that the grievances of the losing athletes from each year cling to the sports equipment and reappear whenever the sports festival comes around.”

Yoshiteru Shibazaki, at the very front, began explaining the first place they were going.

However, the story didn’t sound like a mystery.

Hachiman Hikigaya and Xu Lun exchanged glances, already realizing that this mystery was a bit off.

Yui Yuigahama’s ears were burning as she looked up at the sky, pretending to admire the scenery, clearly having known what the so-called mysterious urban legend was all along.

Only Yukino Yukinoshita looked bewildered, not understanding why their expressions became so strange when they heard the mystery.

Evidently, when they got the key and opened the sports storage room, they found nothing but a layer of dust.

Sobu High was, after all, a famous high school in Chiba; not everyone wanted to seek thrills every day.

“Under my immense pressure, mere grievances dare not appear! But this is just the weakest mystery. Greater challenges await us next.” Yoshiteru Shibazaki issued a seemingly passionate declaration and was about to head to the next location.

“The Mysterious Art Room.”

“The head of the art club has a private art room that everyone is forbidden to enter. Whenever the head stays inside for a while, they become filled with inspiration. It’s said that they exchanged their soul for art…”

This time, they couldn’t even get in. The art club was a popular club, and many people were still there after school. When Yoshiteru Shibazaki tried to enter the head’s exclusive room, they directly kicked him out.

Xu Lun used his See-Through World outside and glanced inside. The hidden drafts in the room were doujinshi, and extremely terrible NTR-themed ones.

After a quick assessment, Xu Lun made his judgment: “ 7 points. The scenes are explosive enough, but the tension of the changing room isn’t fully conveyed.”
