Episode 83: 100% spiritual energy? Extras burst out!!
『 That purpose is...
" "How can I make girls like me?" "
The masked person in front of him didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this question. He quickly explained, "Don't overthink it, we are definitely not a strange organization!"
As he spoke, the elevator doors slowly opened, revealing a dense crowd, each person wearing that unusually eerie smiling face mask.
Mob was also quite surprised by the scale of the crowd. Looking around, he couldn't help but exclaim, "So many people!"
But immediately after, he was collectively carried onto the stage in the hall by this group of "overly enthusiastic" (smiling) members.
He was dumbfounded for a moment. What kind of operation was this?
Next to him was a middle-aged man with a face full of frustration and a girl wearing the same school uniform as him.
"Hey! Do you remember me?"
The girl suddenly spoke.
Mob looked over in confusion and saw the other person waving at him.
"I'm Mezato, your classmate."
A drop of cold sweat seeped from Mezato's forehead, clearly indicating she was quite nervous.
Mob was also surprised and nodded back in a friendly manner.
" This is the first time I've talked to her..." 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "You can't even talk?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "What's there to be afraid of? Just open your mouth and speak." ]
[ Lumine (Genshin Impact): "You think everyone is like you? Who can just say whatever they want?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Hehehehe." ]
[ .....]
『 "Were you also dragged in here for no reason?" Mezato asked with a curious look.
"Yeah, I..."
Before Mob could finish speaking, the area below suddenly became incredibly lively.
Where their eyes could see, a man also wearing a smiling face mask slowly walked out from behind the stage.
Amidst a wave of cheers, everyone watching the video realized that the person who had arrived was none other than the Dimple Cult Leader they had been talking about.
Following the appearance of the Dimple Cult Leader, the atmosphere on the scene instantly exploded!
"Everyone! Are you all smiling???"
People from all directions were stunned, and Mob was equally frozen.
Taking advantage of the peak atmosphere, the Dimple Cult Leader told everyone to take off their masks.
After everyone took off their masks, everyone revealed their true faces.
But this scene was eerily frightening!
Everyone's face was adorned with that indescribable smile, just staring silently at the Dimple Cult Leader on the stage.
And the Dimple Cult Leader himself also had that strange smile on his face.
At this moment, the entire scene made people feel as if this religion was declaring that they were extraordinary.
What a bunch of weirdos... 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "What's wrong with them?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Why are they all smiling? And it's such a strange smile." ]
[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "Is this... controlled by this cult leader?" ]
[ Misaka Mikoto (A Certain Magical Index): "Tch, another guy who can control others." ]
[ Shokuhou Misaki (A Certain Magical Index): "I wouldn't control others to make such a terrifying smile though~" ]
[ .....]
『 The Dimple Cult Leader looked at the three people beside him and loudly announced:
"Today, our Smiling Team welcomes three new partners. let's give them a round of applause!!"
Hearing the cult leader's words, the three of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look. Mezato One even angrily shouted, "How dare you make decisions on your own!!"
But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the Dimple Cult Leader.
"If you want happiness, you have to open your heart first~ But your hearts are all locked."
Immediately after, the three of them were pulled away by a large group of people without any explanation.
Then, a smiling face mask was quickly placed on the heads of the middle-aged man and Mob, respectively.
Finally, even though Mezato One struggled with all her might, she still couldn't escape the fate of having a mask put on her.
When the masks were removed, both the middle-aged man and Mezato One coincidentally revealed strange smiles.
As for Mob, he asked:
"The main pursuit here is smiles and happiness; it has nothing to do with whether you're popular with the opposite sex, right?"
"Then can I go home?" 』

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "He wasn't controlled because he also has superpowers?" ]
[ Shokuhou Misaki (A Certain Magical Index): "I'm very curious~ Can my ability control this Mob-kun?" ]
[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "This is an illegal act, stop your thoughts." ]
[ Shokuhou Misaki (A Certain Magical Index): "Hehehehe~" ]
[ Ibuki Fuko (Clannad): "So amazing~~~~" ]
[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "Even if he wasn't controlled, what this Mob-kun is thinking about is still that matter." ]
[ .....]
『 And that Mob, after his mask was removed, scanned everything around him with a peaceful gaze.
This instantly completely confused Dimple. He widened his eyes and looked at Mob in disbelief.
" He's not smiling!!! "
" Could it be that my smiling mask has failed!? "
This moment became Dimple's biggest Waterloo, making him feel particularly uncomfortable!
After all, his ambition was to control all of humanity!!
Therefore, he absolutely couldn't be defeated by an ordinary middle school student!!
So, he quickly stopped Mob, who was about to leave.
Following that...
As Mob accidentally spat out a mouthful of milk, Dimple's face actually broke into a smile, and he shouted, "You smiled!"
Mob lowered his head, knowing clearly that there was something fishy in the milk. This wasn't fair, he didn't smile at all!!
This kind of cheating method also made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"I... I really didn't smile!"
In an instant, a blue light erupted from Mob's body, illuminating everyone present.
Then...
The strange smiles on their faces gradually faded...
Dimple was stunned, and he involuntarily took a step back, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What's going on!?
My hypnosis was broken!?
Immediately after, golden light flashed from Dimple's hands, and under the bathing of the light, the eerie smiles on everyone's faces reappeared.
Dimple looked at Mob, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.
"Just now... no... how could he dispel my hypnotic waves!?"
Dimple kept trying to cheer himself up, but he still couldn't figure out why Mob wasn't smiling even though he had been hypnotized!
However...
"There's no other way, I have to do this the hard way!"
In Dimple's eyes, dangerous signals flashed!
"Listen up, everyone!! Let's help him find his lost smile!!! If this continues, he's truly too pitiful!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was surrounded by those people with eerie smiles.
To be honest, being surrounded by a group of people with strange smiles on their faces must not feel good.
Therefore...
— [ Mob's Burst Meter: 74% ] —
Dimple looked at the restrained Mob, paced forward, and snorted coldly, "Let me show you my true power!!"
"Come on!! Smile at me!!!"
Dimple's hand went directly in front of Mob's eyes!
From his hand, a golden hypnotic light wave shot out, heading straight for Mob!!!
When the people around saw this hypnotic light wave, the smiles on their faces became even stranger, and their laughter also became booming!!
But...
Mob remained expressionless, with no change in his face, and looked indifferently at Dimple performing his tricks.
Dimple was about to give up. Looking at Mob's icy face, he couldn't help but cover his forehead.
"Damn it, why aren't you smiling!! Why aren't you smiling!! Could it be that my move is completely useless!!!"
Dimple was furious. He directly grabbed Mob's face and roared, "Smile!!! Smile for me!! Kid!!!"
At this moment, Dimple realized that this kid also had superpowers!!
"Are you a block of wood!!!"
Under Dimple's roar,
Mob just looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "With your cult leader's power, it's impossible to make me smile. It's not that I don't like to smile; I can't smile. Even if I want to smile in my heart, my facial muscles won't obey."
Dimple looked at Mob in front of him with an ugly expression. Every word the other party said was like a slap in his face.
But soon, a ferocious smile appeared on Dimple's face. He understood!!
"Kid, do you have no heart? I heard you're also having trouble with your emotions. With your personality, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh with the girl you like, right?"...
"People's emotions resonate with others, but you can't do that."
Hearing Dimple's words, Mob couldn't help but clench his fists.
Dimple was still testing the boundaries of death and continued to mock:
"You can't cry with her, and you won't be moved. You are destined to be alone for a lifetime!"
As soon as these words fell, Mob's clothes actually started to move without wind...
" Mob Burst Percentage 92%! " 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "What is this... progress bar?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Could it be that something is about to explode?" ]
[ Genos (One Punch Man): "Mob's burst percentage, I can't tell what it means. Is it some kind of restriction that is about to be unleashed?" ]
[ Chitanda Eru (Hyouka): "I'm very curious.jpg" ]
[ Zeno (Dragon Ball): "Curious, such an interesting thing." ]
[ Grand Minister: "..." ]
[ .....]
『 Mob's face was gloomy, and he lowered his head, looking like he was in a bad mood.
And Dimple didn't notice the overflowing superpower aura from Mob at all, and continued to say, "Come on, I'll give you one last chance, smile!!"
Mob's face was as still as water, and he said coldly, "Then use your superpower to make me smile."
As soon as Mob said that, Dimple was stunned, and then his face also sank.
"You... I understand... You also have an ability similar to mine!"
Dimple was afraid in his heart because his actions were seen through by a superpowered person. Only by getting rid of this superpowered person could he avoid future trouble!!!
Dimple's face became distorted, and he stared coldly at Mob, saying coldly, "I originally wanted to choose the most peaceful and bloodless way to solve the problem, kid... you're too much of a hindrance!!!"
Hearing this, everyone present noticed that Mob actually let out a sigh of relief!
He let out a sigh of relief?!
What does this mean???
Immediately after, Mob spoke.
"That's great, so you're not an ordinary person... Thankfully, the one who said such a creepy thing about looking at the atmosphere around here was an evil spirit!"
As soon as Mob finished speaking, Dimple on the other side no longer pretended!
He instantly transformed into a black mist, surging out from his facial features!!
"My loyal believers, don't let this guy leave here alive!!!"
This was a powerful command!
Enough to make everyone who obeyed him try their best to carry out his will!!
In the next moment!
Countless people suddenly swarmed forward!!
They directly pressed Mob down to the very bottom!!!
Someone's foot, he didn't know who, stepped on Mob's head. 』

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "He's being beaten quite badly. Is that kick a bit too much? Don't hit people in the face." ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Huh? Don't hit people in the face?" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "It's nothing, nothing, I was just joking, don't take it seriously." ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Oh." ]
[ Chifuyu Orimura (Infinite Stratos): "When it comes to a real fight, who would care about such things?" ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "By the way, after being treated like this, will that progress bar from before increase directly?" ]
[ Qingque (Honkai: Star Rail): "I'm very curious, what will happen after that progress bar is full?" ]
[ .....]
『 On the screen, a line of subtitles conspicuously displayed the extent of Mob's emotional surge!
— [ Mob's Burst Meter: 96%...97%...98%...99%...100%!! ] —
Immediately after!
When the value soared to one hundred percent!
Mob's eyes suddenly shone with dazzling white light!
Amazing superpowers surged out from his body!
The ground was trembling!
The floor instantly shattered into pieces!
Bang!
Everyone on top of him was instantly thrown back, falling far away onto the ground. 』

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Interesting, so this progress bar is the value of power burst." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "By the way, wasn't there 'Psychic 100' in the previous title? Does that refer specifically to this progress bar?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "As long as the progress bar is full, you can unleash your power." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense." ]
[ .....]
『 Mob slowly straightened up.
An extraordinary coldness appeared on his face.
Driven by his superpowers, his hair gently fluttered.
Dimple was stunned, and it looked at Mob in disbelief.
"I can't believe you're such a powerful esper!"
"No wonder my smiling mask didn't work..."
Mob was expressionless. He glanced at the black evil spirit and sneered, "Mask? Is there some mysterious power on it? The power is too weak, I didn't sense it."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter... If eliminating dissent and being bloodthirsty is the style of your religion..."
Mob slowly opened his narrow eyes, and his blood-red pupils locked onto Dimple in front of him.
"Then let's have a good fight! Maybe it will be easier than making me laugh."
After hearing Mob's words, Dimple was filled with rage!
Instantly, it transformed into a human form and launched an attack on Mob!
However...
Mob's strength was simply too great!
Almost all of its attacks were like stones sinking into the sea, completely ineffective!
Even...
After a round of attacks, it was Dimple itself that was left with broken hands and feet!
Dimple was shocked!
Mob's strength was too astonishing!
However, the strongest part of Dimple wasn't its fists, but its mouth!
It shouted, "You forced me to use all my psychic power in a fight, you better not give up halfway, kid!"
Immediately after!
Dimple suddenly pounced towards Mob!
But...
Bang!
A cold light flashed!
Dimple's arm was instantly cut off!!!
"What!!!"
This instantly scared Dimple so much that snot and tears flew out!!
Amidst the flying dust!
Mob rushed out, swinging his fist.
His fist shone with colorful superpower light!
That terrifying power went straight towards Dimple!
Almost in the blink of an eye!
Dimple's limbs shattered on the ground like pieces of paper!
Then, Dimple's whole body flew backward and fell heavily onto the ground!
Bang!!!
Following that!
Mob's foot stepped on Dimple's face without hesitation!
Dimple suddenly woke up, its eyes filled with fear!
And Mob, still with a cold expression, looked down at Dimple under his foot and said coldly:
"I responded to your request..."
"This is my emotion. Once I indulge it, I become like this."
Dimple's eyes were wide open. It was never expected that the other party would become like this was due to the indulgence of emotions.
At this moment, it felt both fear and regret...
Because I brought this monster out!
Why is my mouth so damn talkative!!!!
Dimple regretted it greatly, but he knew that without fighting back, there was only death.
So it had to fight back!
"Are you a monster!?"
Dimple's face was full of panic, but his body flipped in an instant, breaking free from Mob's restraint! 』
