"Luck? Or..."
After hearing what his underling said, the minister thought things through.
But he quickly shook his head and didn't think about it any further.
It must be luck.
Because it's basically impossible to count Grim Reapers actively.
Whereas from the human side, based on all the events of death that exist in history, the relevant laws have been summarized.
However, even supercomputers cannot calculate the resistance model according to the law.
Therefore, when meeting with the people involved in the Grim Reaper incident, they basically turned a blind eye, regardless, and let the other party wait for death naturally.
There is no choice, it cannot be saved.
Bring people into tightly closed rooms, and the Grim Reapers can kill them unexpectedly.
How to save it?
Perhaps a strong person has the ability to help a victim get out of harm's way.
But the number of such people is too few, not to mention that the supply exceeds the demand, and the other party will not listen to their dispatches if they rely on their own strength.
It is necessary to ask such a strong person to do something.
"There is one more thing, Minister." The underling reminded: "This time among the comrades, there is a person named Kasumigaoka Utaha, who seems to be Ryota-sama's classmate. Judging from the previous communication in the room, their relationship should be good. Oh, by the way, Kasumigaoka's parents are here too."
"Is that so… When the people from the alliance come to cloud their memories, just bypass their families and let them sign a secret agreement."
Minister's order.
Even though this is a small kindness, he hopes it can increase the chances of winning Ryota.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in," said the minister.
The door opened, and a beautiful staff member who looked like a female secretary came in and said: "Minister, Ryota-sama seems impatient."
"Okay, let's go now."
...
The minister quickly went to the VIP room where Ryota was.
After a few words of courtesy to each other, the two started talking.
Ryota seized this opportunity and asked about the Nightmare…namely, Tokisaki Kurumi.
If a Spirit really existed in this world, he would need to make some preparations.
Otherwise, one day a space earthquake will suddenly hit his head, and there will be no place to cry.
Ryota now has no doubts about his luck.
Fortunately, the minister's answer reassured him.
There were no Spirits, no Angels, no display devices, and no space quakes in this world.
Tokisaki Kurumi was not a Time Spirit, but a third level psychic.
The so-called psychic is the existence of developing and using soul power.
The fundamental power used by hidden forces throughout the world is soul power.
(But... Tokisaki Kurumi's power is still related to time? This can't be a coincidence, what's going on behind the scenes?)
The more he knows, the more confused and curious Ryota becomes about the world he finds himself in.
The minister added: "Tokisaki Kurumi is a powerful psychic who hasn't joined any powers yet. She seems to have a big conflict with the cultists, she has been hunting these people all over the country and has helped us a lot. From the outside, it can be considered as our friend."
"I see, thanks for the information." Ryota nodded.
"You're welcome, it's not a secret."
The minister smiled and continued: "By the way, that Kasumigaoka Utaha is your friend, right? Don't worry, for your sake, we won't erase his memory."
Erase memory? Is there really such a thing?
Ryouta was surprised.
But on the surface, he remained calm, pretended to understand and said: "Thank you."
Hearing the words of gratitude, the minister smiled even more.
Then he said the biggest goal of this trip – win.
He also talks about it with emotion and reason.
While listening, Ryota sighed in his heart that this eloquence was worthy of being a minister.
Unfortunately, he refused!
And directly indicate the intention to disagree emphatically.
What? Why did he refuse?
This is not bullshit!
Someone who is already afraid of ghosts will take the initiative to solve supernatural events when he is full, right?
The minister cajoled again several times, but couldn't resist Ryota's persistence.
In the end, the seduction plan failed.
The minister was a little depressed, but quickly calmed down, and said in another way:
"Ryota-sama, you have also seen that our side is severely lacking in people. Of course, if you don't want to join, we won't force you, but we can change the way, namely cooperation. "
The man smiled and said seductively: "Dealing with supernatural events is not a free job, every time an incident is handled, the government will pay a very large reward. For example, this time you eliminate five Grudge clones, we will transfer the rewards to your account afterwards."
"Moreover, sometimes when some rich people die, apart from government remuneration, you can also actively negotiate with the victims to fight for bigger profits. As long as the requirements are not too excessive, we will guarantee."
"Oh?"
As soon as money was mentioned, Ryota was immediately interested.
But when he thought that what he was going to deal with was a ghost, he froze again.
Let's talk about this kind of thing after he's watched more horror movies, seen his level of immunity, and developed his courage.
Thinking of this, Ryota said: will take the initiative to contact you."
"Does not matter!" The minister smiled and said, "Let's exchange contact information."
Seeing that Ryota didn't refuse, he felt relieved.
These psychics cannot be forced to do anything.
Because the two big leagues are so disgusted by this.
It happens that certain people in power use psychic family members to threaten their obedience.
As a result, after the **** massacre, everyone who wanted to use force to suppress people all died.
Second stage psychics had completely transcended the human category and entered the monster level.
Not to mention the third stage.
Since then, no one had dared to force them into anything even if they were weak psychics. So coercion can not be done.
After the contact information exchange was over, the Minister said one more thing:
"I want to ask, could you transfer the 'key' you obtained to us? Of course, the reward must be not small."
Ryota was taken aback for a moment.
Key or what...
Wait a minute!
Could it be… the transparent crystal he picked up from the floor outside the office building just now?
At the time it was speculated that the crystal may have been left behind by Grudge after his death.
Out of curiosity, he took it.
Crystal... is the key?
Ryota is a little unclear.
But in order for the other party to continue to misunderstand his identity and not reveal anything, he started acting again.
He shook his head and said: "No, that's my trophy. I'm saving it for other uses."
"Would you like to use it for someone you know?" asked the minister curiously.
"...That's right, I already have someone to choose from."
"Okay."
The minister felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it.
...
After the conversation, Ryota left the VIP room and walked out of the office building.
He has nothing to do here.
After all, the follow-up memory wipe has nothing to do with him.
After asking to go home, a staff member immediately left in a black car.
After Ryota got in the car, the car passed the area where the office building was located, and drove towards Shirogane's house.
Ryota took out his cell phone and sent a message to Hayasaka Ai.
Safety reporting is one aspect.
On the other hand, he wanted to ask what was wrong with the crystals he had obtained.
Since it's called a key, it can definitely open something.
However, when the message was only halfway edited, Ryota suddenly considered the issue of secrecy.
He directly deleted the entered text, and then opened the guild forum.
