Long Time No See

　　Frightened by the sudden real battle, the seven high school students instinctively ran away from the riverbank.

　　But the battle ended too quickly, and they didn't run far at all.

　　With a jump, Ryota landed in front of the seven of them.

　　After picking someone at random, he glared at them with oppressive eyes.

　　Immediately, the body of the boy he saw couldn't help but tremble, and he almost fell to his knees.

　　"Don't kill me...don't kill..."

　　"Shut up."

　　Ryota interrupted the other party's incoherent speech, and made a request:

　　"Give me your cell phone."

　　In fright, the man he was staring at couldn't think of any resistance, he quickly took out his cell phone, unlocked it, and handed it out tremblingly.

　　After Ryota took it, he immediately called the minister and immediately explained what happened to him.

　　At the same time, remind the other party that there are seven ordinary people who need memory processing.

　　After listening to the minister, he was silent for a while, and assessed the situation:

　　"The evil god Ahriman, the evil god responsible for anger and violence in Zoroastrianism. What you encounter must be adherents, that is, people from the 'cruel migratory locust' sect. They were gifted with fire and great physical strength by the evil god, and among them there are even monsters that can rival a third-tier psyker."

　　"Uh… then the ones I met should be the new recruits." Ryota said curiously: "I remember you said that most cult members are ordinary people without psychic talents? Could it be that they have grown into third-level psykers?"

　　If so...

　　Ryota feels that the world's top combat power is too cheap.

　　"That's not potential. Most of the cult's power is directly bestowed by the evil god. How much to give depends entirely on the mood of the evil gods and the strength of their faith."

　　The minister elaborated: "And the power of the evil god… Judging from the information gathered so far, the evil god has completely surpassed the imagination of humans, and we cannot estimate the scale of his power. If they weren't all blocked from the material world, I'm afraid humans would have long since perished."

The corners of Ryota's mouth twitched.

　　Is this world cursed?

　　Ghosts, evil spirits, etc. Every disaster is getting bigger.

　　There are also cults that are out to get into trouble from time to time.

　　Moreover, the more terrifying evil gods also stare at the material world with evil eyes, trying to turn it into a slaughterhouse for fun.

　　Being besieged from all sides wasn't enough to describe a human's situation.

　　Sooner or later will perish!

　　"But don't worry too much about that evil god's business,"

　　The minister continued: "For unknown reasons, the five evil gods have disappeared completely, and now there are only two cultists left among the youths. The Psykers Alliance launched a liquidation operation against them, and as a result, as you can see, the remaining cultists started artificially creating ghosts all over the world, causing a lot of chaos, which distracted us and caused the liquidation to move slowly. However, the Nightmare's appearance and activities have tilted the balance in our favor, sooner or later this war will end. At that time, evil gods will not be able to meddle in the affairs of the material world."

　　"Is Tokisaki Kurumi that fierce?"

　　"Sh3 is quite special, being able to form an alien world that can control time in all directions. Although not the strongest in the third stage, in terms of weirdness, it can definitely rank in the first echelon."

　　"Is that so..."

　　After Ryota digested the information, he asked about the business:

　　"Don't you have people who can hypnotize other people's memories? I haven't killed that cultist yet. If I hypnotize him, can I get some important information? For example, the locations of cult nests."

　　"We've experimented, and we gave up, hypnotism can only affect ordinary people, and people with soul power are extremely immune to it."

　　The minister sighed softly: "We even indulged in torture for forsaking humanity, but these people are a bunch of madmen, one more than one fanatic. They are not telling the truth, or they are full of nonsense. Kill the cultists right after meeting them! Don't hesitate, got it?"

　　"Okay."

　　...

　　The call ends quickly.

　　Despite not getting the desired result, Ryota is not disappointed.

　　Since Psyker was unreliable, he still used the Adventurer's Guild!

　　He happened to know someone who was good at "torturing".

　　——Shokuhou Misaki.

　　Misaki can now use spirits as a medium to invade other people's brains.

　　Thus, even if the worshiper was no longer human, as long as their spiritual power wasn't much higher than her, they would have to kneel down and chant conquest in front of her abilities.

　　Moreover, even if it is far exceeded, it is nothing.

　　Ryota called a light screen, and looked at his 30,000 point stock.

　　With so many points, if he has all the spirit attribute points, he still can't score a single minute to go to heaven?

　　Just hacking the brains of minor characters in cults, of course not a problem.

　　(It's just, I haven't seen Misaki in a long time, so send out the nomination assignment and invite her to come over.)

　　Ryota has a decision on his mind.

　　But just as he was about to release the commission, a voice sounded beside him:

　　"That guy just now, he... what did you do to him?"

　　Ryota turned to look.

　　It was the girl who was bullied earlier, standing in front of him.

　　The girl's eyes were full of fear. But she still chose to stand up and asked in a very low voice:

　　"Why did you do that to him?"

　　"Oh? Aren't you brave enough?"

　　Ryota glanced at the girl unexpectedly, and explained:

　　"That person's kindness to you just now was a disguise. Don't be fooled by it. He is a very dangerous person. You can understand him as a criminal wanted by the government. You just saw his ferocity, right?"

　　I thought you were more vicious... The girl wanted to say that.

　　But seeing Ryota's eyes, she immediately trembled like a quail, and swallowed the words back into her stomach.

　　Ryota continued: "I can't specifically explain to you too much. In short, there will be an official organization to handle it later. You are safe now. As for them…"

　　He glanced at the six other high school students who were still terrified:

　　"Since you dare to ask me, you must dare to reject the law, right?"

　　"..."

　　These words seemed to break through the girl's defenses, causing her to squat on the ground and cry.

　　Perhaps the grievances that had accumulated in her heart found a way out. Facing Ryota, the stranger, she roared:

　　"It's not as simple as you say!"

　　"Reject? How do you refuse!? Do you think everyone is as strong as you!"

　　"Did you know that they…"

　　When she spoke, her voice was mixed with crying, which was completely inaudible.

　　Watching this scene, Ryota suddenly fell silent.

　　Memories of the original body's past surfaced in his mind.

　　He suddenly understood — what he said just now was completely the behavior of a keyboardman without empathy.

　　Yes, how could she take it for granted!

　　Facing the school's laws, she wants to run away, but she can't escape, because she has to go to school every day.

　　She wanted to fight, but she couldn't. Opponents are in packs, and resistance can only be exchanged for more beatings and more serious statutes.

　　Looking for teachers and parents... Most teachers will only give verbal reprimands, not even wanting to provoke problematic students, and parents... Can't accompany them to school every day.

　　The only way left seems to be to go out and stab your opponent to death with a knife?

　　However, once she took this step, her future would be doomed.

　　It's not that she doesn't dare to fight back, but she doesn't know how to fight to settle the law without retaliation or breaking the law.

　　Thinking of this, Ryota's irritability, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, became restless again.

　　He patted the girl's head as gently as he could, and said:

　　"Sorry, I didn't think carefully and said something unrealistic. But..."

　　Maybe thinking about his real body. After he stopped, he said in a louder voice:

　　"This world is not as bad as you think. Look, you just met someone who is willing to help you for free."

　　Ryota withdrew his hand. In the next second, one scream after another suddenly sounded.

　　The sobbing girl with her head down was shocked for a moment, and subconsciously looked up.

　　The six bullies that had just stood up all fell to the ground.

　　Both hands and feet show small irregular bends.

　　At this time, Ryota walked up to her, clapped his hands and said:

　　"Finished! They won't be out of the hospital for a few years, and you won't have to worry about bullying until you graduate high school."

　　"..."

　　The girl froze in place. Even grievances and sorrows are ignored.

　　She was completely shocked by Ryota's incredibly cruel way of helping her!

　　Ryota didn't care whether the other party could accept it or not, after waving his hand at the girl, he turned around and walked to the side of the frozen cultist.

　　Then he picked up a large block of ice and left the place.

　　Other finishing problems will be handled by the official.

　　As for the six people who had broken arms and legs, what would happen to their future, and whether the family could afford the medical expenses... Ryota didn't even think about it.

　　Because he likes violence.

　　Although using violence to control violence is wrong.

　　But it's so cool!

　　...

　　Shortly after leaving the riverbank, a special car arrived from the minister.

　　After going through a lot of trouble, Ryota finally moved the ice block to Hayasaka's villa.

　　"I was hoping to dig up some valuable information. It's best to get information on the location of the cult's lair and take them out."

　　Seeing the disabled youth unconscious in the ice, Ryota looked forward to it.

　　It's hard enough manipulating an opponent to freeze an opponent with this kind of non-lethal power.

　　Moreover, it is difficult to maintain this state all the time. If you don't pay attention, the other party will die.

　　He had to hurry.

　　In an urgent manner, Ryota summoned a light screen to enter the forum, and first sent a greeting message to Misaki.

　　Seeing that no one responded, he chose to issue the nominated task directly.

　　"For the contents of the task, choose the one that is easy to complete, otherwise there is a risk of failure..."

　　Ryota thought for a moment.

　　Because he didn't know if Misaki had enough time, so he couldn't rush out requests like "how many days to play with me".

　　Otherwise, it would be bad to put others off.

　　While it's easy to solve, it also has to take into account the ambiguity of time...

　　"Sure enough, it's better to choose 'date'."

　　Ryota made a decision in his heart.

　　Dating covers a lot of things. Taking a walk together is called a date, eating is called a date, watching a movie is called a date, and even having sex for one night... Putting these individual behaviors together to form a grand process can still be defined as a date.

　　It can be said that the completion time is very ambiguous, and can be adjusted according to each situation.

　　Perfect!

　　Ryota did as he thought, and issued a commission of 20 points.

　　It was beyond his expectations.

　　Less than 10 seconds after the commission was released, a white light appeared before his eyes.

　　After that the light that was transmitted disappeared.

　　A girl with honey-colored hair appeared in his field of vision.

Ryota was slightly surprised.

　　Shokuhou Misaki... seems to have grown taller?

　　She guessed it was closer to 150.

　　Especially on the chest.

　　It didn't look like the feelings of elementary school students before.

　　In this way, she put on a miniskirt and white knee-high socks covered in lace, and the vicious temptation she expressed was stronger than before.

　　This is really bad...

　　"Shiro-chan, I'm dumbfounded."

　　Misaki's beautiful star eyes bent, and rotated in a circle:

　　"Beautiful, isn't it?"

　　"...Little girl." Ryota closed his mouth.
