Chapter 1238: Chapter 838: Collective Unconsciousness_3 Chapter 1238: Chapter 838: Collective Unconsciousness_3 That way, it became clear why he chose to strike after Duanmu Ai had left. Dealing with two people was always more troublesome than one, and during that period, Duanmu Ai and Kujikawa Rise were always together, leaving him no opportunity. It wasn’t until the day the contract ended and Duanmu Ai left alone that Akechi Goro found his chance.

“Hmm…”

After hearing Akechi Goro’s confession, Duanmu Ai fell into thought. Although Akechi Goro had indeed answered her question, her instincts told her that he seemed to be hiding something else.

“And?”

“That’s, that’s everything, really… Arrghh!!”

However, before Akechi Goro could finish, Duanmu Ai brought down the hammer again, mashing Akechi Goro’s left hand into a bloody pulp just like the other.

“That’s still not enough, keep talking. I know you’re hiding something, and if you don’t start telling the truth, I’ll just have to kill you… Oh, I wonder if bodies rot down here.”

“Wait, wait, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

Faced with Duanmu Ai’s words, Akechi Goro turned pale. He could feel that this young girl in front of him would truly kill him. Although she appeared fragile, the murderous intent in her eyes felt like a chainsaw pressed against his neck, as if the chainsaw would spin and chop off his head at any moment.

“Actually, Shidou Justice had another plan! It’s related to Cognitive Co. studies! The election was just the first step, he wanted to use Cognitive Co. studies to control everyone’s mental space, turning all the people in the city into slaves who would obey him without question! He called this the Prosperous Nation Plan!”

“Control everyone?”

Facing this unexpected confession from Akechi Goro, Duanmu Ai was momentarily taken aback.

“Could he really do it? Modifying the minds of humans isn’t easy, not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city. Even if he modified one person a day, he wouldn’t finish before he retired.”

“That’s not it!”

Akechi Goro frantically shook his head.

“According to Cognitive Co. studies, in this world, there’s a place where everyone’s minds merge together, known as the collective unconscious… To put it simply, it’s where all the minds meet. So Shidou Justice thought, if he could control that place, he could control everyone’s minds… Of course, this is still in the early stages, since only I possess such power…”

“Are you saying that you know where that place is?”

“In the subway station! Below the subway station, another self of everyone in this city exists there! They take the subway and keep moving deeper in, I don’t know where they go. But according to Cognitive Co. studies, it seems the depths of that subway are where the collective subconsciousness lies…”

“Haven’t you gone in?”

“I haven’t! I thought about it, but it’s too dangerous inside, and my power alone isn’t enough…”

Well, this is a delightful surprise.

At this, a glint of excitement flashed in Duanmu Ai’s eyes.

“Hmm, not bad, you seem to have some use after all. So, time to die.”

“Bang!”

Before Akechi Goro could react, Duanmu Ai’s War Hammer suddenly surged, smashing straight into Akechi Goro’s skull–With a thunderous crash, when Duanmu Ai raised her hammer again, all that was left on the wall was a messy heap resembling an elliptical shape of a human head, made of skull fragments, brain matter, and flesh mixed together.

Put simply, it was like a squashed tomato.

“Hmm, it does look more pleasant than before.”

Duanmu Ai looked at Akechi Goro’s head, now too gruesome to behold, and nodded in satisfaction. What’s so good about a pretty boy face? Now, doesn’t this looks far more memorable?

Way more interesting than a pretty boy face.

Admiring her work for a moment, Duanmu Ai turned her gaze away.

Alright, now to take care of Shidou Justice, and then… I’ll go see what’s up with that subway.
