The Girl with Future Sight / The Ghoul Lio Shirazumi

"No, it's all those guys' fault! I'm sorry... Kaori, I didn't notice your problem right away." The girl with the headband hugged Tachibana Kaori and said apologetically.

Tachibana Kaori's homeroom teacher is named Hayama Hideo, the younger brother of the chairman of the Rizen Girls' Academy. Because he was unemployed, he became a teacher at Reien through his brother's connections, even though he probably didn't even graduate from high school.

He used his position as a teacher to secretly take his students out to prostitutes, ostensibly as a teacher but actually acting as a pimp.

As a closed-off women's academy, the students were all lured and coaxed by this petty thug who used his relative's power as the chairperson, and many of them succumbed to his influence.

Tachibana Kaori resisted many times, but was eventually caught red-handed because other classmates, after doing it a few times, also became Hayama Hideo's accomplices. The entire Class D thus became isolated if they did not participate in the aid work.

Everyone was ashamed of being a virgin. Since they had suffered misfortune, they thought they might as well let others go to hell with them. With this mentality, all the female students in Class D fell into hell one after another.

Tachibana Kaori was the last student in Class D to be taken out. This operation resulted in her pregnancy. The man was a middle-aged man she had only met once, and she didn't even know his name.

Then everyone went crazy. Fearing that this would be exposed, they began to oppress Tachibana Kaori even more, forcing her to Tachibana Kaori. But Tachibana Kaori wanted to give birth to the child. Even if she was alone, she didn't want to abandon such a life.

As the students of Class D and Hayama Hideo continued to put pressure on her, Tachibana Kaori finally couldn't take it anymore and was on the verge of a breakdown. As she walked down the street like a zombie, she heard the songs of the ghosts of suicide calling for their companions.

She found herself drawn to the building and standing on the edge of the rooftop.

They thought that by jumping, they could find liberation.

Fortunately, Shirou rushed up and stopped her at that moment.

Unfortunately, the child was too fragile. She was already on the verge of collapse due to the bullying and pressure from her teacher and classmates. Her body was already overwhelmed, and under this shock, she miscarried.

"Yes! I have no problem with that. Even if I appear on camera without being censored, I will expose Hayama Hideo and Class D' s scandal to the world." Tachibana Kaori said with anger in her eyes.

"I am the Student Council. If you need my cooperation, I will help. However, I have one request: please downplay the school's role and do not tarnish its reputation. Although they have all made mistakes to some extent, this is not something they wanted to happen," Kōro Misaya said in a deep voice.

That shady teacher who acted as a pimp. Although she despised his behavior, the school's chairman made a huge mistake in allowing such a person to work at the school.

Logically, they should all be punished, but the school's reputation cannot be tarnished like this. If everything is exposed, what will the public think of their school?

A private school for spoiled young ladies has one class where the teachers are allegedly colluding with the students to engage in prostitution. Could it be a sex education school where the teachers are pimps and the students are all prostitutes?

That would be a major blow to all the other innocent teachers and students in the school.

Okay, although this kind of situation is not uncommon.

"Ah, at times like this, you students should leave it to reliable adults and the police to handle," the Fat Director agreed. He still had a shred of conscience as a media professional, even though true media professionals who uphold the principle of bringing the truth to the public are almost extinct in this era.

Battlefield journalists became battlefield journalists from neighboring countries, news journalists became official document journalists, and all that was left were gossip media that entertained and fooled the public.

"This kind of scum, daring to be so arrogant in this day and age, may not die, but even if you're rich and powerful, you're bound to spend more than ten years in jail," the Fat Director said angrily.

The girls left the ward after receiving the agreement, since the girls who had just had a miscarriage needed to rest. Shirou saw them out, but the short-haired girl named Seo Shizune, who had been very quiet all along, stayed behind.

Shirou looked at the other person, waiting for them to speak.

In the quiet corridor, the girl looked at Shirou and said in a calm tone, "I see your future."

"I see your future; you will disappear." In the corridor, the girl looked at Shirou with her special eyes and said calmly.

Chapter 922 The Girl with Future Vision

Seo Shizune is a high school student at a girls' private academy. She has a gentle and kind personality and is an outstanding student, consistently ranking first in her grade. However, this is not because she is particularly smart or studies particularly hard.

She's just an ordinary high school girl who occasionally sees glimpses of the future. For example, she can see the questions on the exam three days from now, or what she might forget tomorrow, where she might make a mistake, or fall down. She can also see other people's lives.

Then she can find ways to avoid embarrassing herself, and she can also help others from time to time, so she gives her teachers and classmates a good impression of being smart, virtuous and helpful.

But in reality, she was just avoiding trouble. If she didn't have the ability to foresee the future, she would just be a powerless high school girl.

She wasn't particularly fond of her abilities, always feeling like she was cheating, always knowing important things before others, unlike others who knew the exam questions beforehand and could then study much more efficiently. But she couldn't just skip studying and deliberately avoid the exam questions...

Of course, this is not omnipotent; there are always oversights in predicting the future, otherwise she wouldn't have let Tachibana-senpai commit suicide.

When she learned about this, Seo Shizune felt extremely guilty. With a desire to atone for her sins, she accompanied her senior classmates to the hospital.

But what good would it do for her to just know? She was just a high school girl; she didn't have the ability to stand up to that thuggish teacher or the chairman of the board who protected him. So she needed the help of the people at the TV station. She knew that if she could get their help, this matter could be resolved.

The so-called precognitive ability is of little use to her. Even without her, Senior Huang Lu would still negotiate with the TV station.

Just then, Seo Shizune saw a vision of the future again. After about two seconds of dizziness, she saw...

Inside a dark, enclosed apartment, red-haired youth wielding a sword with a golden dragon coiled around it is facing off against a tall, middle-aged man in black. They are engaged in a duel...

Then, I don't know how much time passed.

Standing amidst the ruins, the red-haired man gazed at the sky, then gradually transformed into golden light and vanished from the world.

Will this person die? The surreal battle, though somewhat disorienting, makes her wonder if a slightly surreal battle is acceptable since there are eyes in this world that can see the future.

In short, I have to tell him. He's a good person, and he helped my senior, so she stayed.

"Will I disappear?" Shirou was taken aback by the girl's question, but then accepted it. The girl didn't seem to be lying, so she was likely using Magic Eye with future vision, a system independent of Magecraft.

Human beings' ability to perceive the future can be divided into two categories: prediction and determination, with prediction being the primary function. Those with higher abilities can even visualize the predicted content in their minds. It is said that determination builds up the future, while prediction foresees it.

"Huh? You just believe me like that?" Seo Shizune had already prepared her explanation, but she didn't expect that she would be accepted without even having to say it.

"Yes, thank you for telling me all this." Shirou was now certain that the girl's future vision was predictive. She didn't know the conditions that needed to be met for future events to occur, but rather collected all the information that could be gathered at present from a human perspective, and then made analysis and judgments in her brain, thereby seeing various possible future scenarios.

If it's a predictive type, this situation won't occur. Predictive types have a future-oriented perspective; they see the answer and then work backward from that answer to deduce the steps. As long as you follow the formula, you can get the answer.

This type of strategy is like Zhuge Liang's masterful use of the Empty City Stratagem, a plan that leaves no stone unturned.

The girl, however, was not like that. Her behavior clearly indicated that she was not a strategist involved, but rather a prophet standing aside.

The so-called "Magic Eye," if innate, can be considered a superpower. In the world of Magecraft, a powerful Magic Eye can achieve effects that Magecraft cannot imitate, and even enter the realm of True Magic.

The ability to see the future is more like a potential inherent in the human body, such as powerful Clairvoyance, like Clairvoyance of the legendary Great Hero Arash, who possessed the ability to see parts of the future.

The images people see every day, and conversations like ours, actually contain a vast amount of information. They unconsciously absorb all this information. Logically, the amount of visual information is so large that the brain cannot handle it, and may even exceed its processing capacity, yet they record it all without missing a single detail. And it's not just words, but also sounds, smells, rhythms, and even a stain on the wall of this room—all of this happens unconsciously.

When countless pieces of information are organically mixed and inevitably lead to a certain outcome from a specific configuration, they will see images of the future. Future prediction is not intuition, but rather a highly sophisticated information processing ability. In other words, those who possess future vision are actually ordinary people with only partial functional degeneration, or in a specific aspect, they have maintained evolution rather than decline.

"Wh... what..." Seo Shizune looked at Shirou in surprise. This was the first time she had received such a response. Up until now, she couldn't see much of an unhappy future. In order to stop him, she had been scolded and even beaten a lot.

Normal people would be furious if told they were going to die, even if it was just a minor misfortune. Why can you accept it so calmly? You should take better care of yourself!

"Don't you have any complaints or questions?" Seo Shizune, a pretty young girl with short hair, possessed futuristic vision, allowing her to see glimpses of Shirou's future. However, she found herself in a passive position, as if Shirou had seen through her. What angered her even more was her desire for the person in front of her to pay more attention to her.

"Yes, then let me ask you a question. Who won and who lost in the duel between me and Araya Sōren?" Shirou asked.

"No, you're definitely going to win, right?" the girl said matter-of-factly. On one side was the Hero of Justice wielding a golden sword, and on the other was the black-clad man who was clearly the villain. Of course, the Hero of Justice would win.

Chapter 923 Shiratsumi Rishio

"Is that so? Thank you. That's a very good prophecy," Shirou said with a light laugh.

"But! If you continue like this, you'll probably die in twenty years. No, it's more like disappearing than dying. You'll turn into crystalline particles out of thin air and then vanish." Seo Shizune warned Shirou earnestly.

"Is that so? So it's still twenty years from now. Is that how it is?" Shirou nodded and smiled as if he were quite pleased.

'Why did you laugh when you knew you were going to die? What a strange person.' Seo Shizune looked at Shirou with a puzzled expression.

"No, if it's fate, then I'll accept it gladly if the outcome is good," Shirou said with a light laugh. Death is not something to fear; what should be feared is not doing what one believes is right in one's limited time, leaving behind too many regrets.

"Don't you want to change that kind of future? Although it is difficult, it is not impossible." Seo Shizune asked doubtfully.

"No, if that person is me, even killing myself probably wouldn't change anything. I'll cherish the remaining twenty years," Shirou said nonchalantly.

'This is so strange! This person is so strange! How can he accept his own death so easily?' Seo Shizune thought angrily, and without realizing it, she became very concerned about the man in front of her.

"Yes, indeed from a historical perspective, humans are creatures that constantly waste time and never learn from their mistakes. Even if history is written, its only purpose is to show that humans never learn from history, and it is all in vain."

So everyone is just wasting time, then giving this behavior all sorts of titles, making some people seem noble and others seem lowly. In reality, everyone is no different: born, eat, drink, excrete, and then die. Perhaps they become the subject of others' conversation, perhaps not.

However, it is precisely in these wastes and consumptions that the cycle that drives the world is formed. Humans are constantly pursuing happiness and satisfying their desires, but at the same time, they are creating unhappiness."Shirou said calmly.

"I think you're amazing. If other people had this ability, they might use it for bad things, but you, even when misunderstood, still think about helping others. So I think it's really great that you have this ability," Shirou said, giving the girl an encouraging smile.

Seo Shizune blushed; she had never been praised for this ability before.

"You fight for the happiness of all mankind, isn't your own happiness important?" Seo Shizune asked.

"Of course I hope so too. It would be great if I could balance both. After all, I have a girlfriend, and I also want to have a happy family," Shirou said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Seo Shizune peeked into the ward and saw Shiina Mashiro. She was beautiful, had an outstanding temperament, and was so cute that even she, as a woman, was moved.

"Ah, well then, that's all for now. I'll be leaving now. Emiya, cheer up. If I see any useful information, I'll come back to find you." Seo Shizune called out, as if she was about to jump up, which drew strange looks from people in the hospital corridor.

"Ah, okay." Seeing the girl suddenly become a little flustered, Shirou could only nod and watch her leave.

The girl ran away from the hospital. In fact, the moment her eyes met Shiina Mashiro's, she saw the future.

The blonde girl and the red-haired boy spent their youth together, grew up together, became young adults, and then entered into marriage.

Green spaces, gardens, and a church with its bells ringing; a white wedding dress fluttering in the wind. The man in the white suit, taller and more mature, is even more handsome, his amber eyes gazing into another amber eyes.

The bride tossed her bouquet high into the air, then nestled happily into the arms of her handsome groom.

Future Seo Shizune's gaze followed the flower ball as it moved closer and closer to her, until it landed in her hand...

The girl felt as if she had suddenly lost something important. She felt a pang of heartache and a surge of excitement, as if she already knew the outcome before the competition even began, as if she had lost before it even started.

I still really hate it, all that futuristic vision stuff...

The next day, Shirou and the Fat Director prepared to work on the girls' affairs, but the rogue teacher, Hayama Hideo, died before he could be arrested.

"Huh? Dead? What happened?" the Fat Director exclaimed in surprise. He had originally planned to contact some media friends and unite various forces to properly punish Hayama Hideo. How could he be dead?

"The body was found in an alley, and..." The assistant's face turned pale, as if recalling a horrible scene, and he hesitated to speak.

"And what?" the Fat Director pressed.

The assistant swallowed hard before speaking, "... Only half of the body remained, with bite marks on its body. It was bitten off while the body was still alive."

In the most remote corner of the city, there was an abandoned house, dark and unlit. In the dim light, a figure could be vaguely seen. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, revealing a ghoul-like crimson pupil.

The man's name was Shiratsumi Rishio, the notorious serial killer who had recently been making headlines. However, in his own mind, he was merely eating. He did more than just kill; he also ate people. His crimson eyes were proof of his bestial nature.

Besides murder, he also ran a business selling grass. Yesterday, a teacher came to buy grass from him, saying she wanted to share it with the female students in her class, or something like that? I don't remember exactly. He happened to be hungry at the time, so he killed the teacher.

Shiratsumi Rishio a mad killer who grows grass while trying to combine his blood with drugs to create unfortunate events. His pain and unsatisfied hunger are all due to his loneliness.

In the original world, there might have been a kind-hearted junior who never gave up on him, urging him to return to the human world and warning him not to become a beast, thus allowing him to retain the last vestige of humanity.

However, such a thing does not exist in this world; it was broken from the very beginning.

Shiratsumi Rishio was left with only the mind of a beast. When he heard that Araya Sōren worshipped Shirou, he wanted to eat Shirou and take his place. If he really was such a great being, eating him might cure his emptiness.

Chapter 924 Shiratsumi Rishio has her eye on Mashiro

The Explosion Head Uncle is still recuperating in the hospital, while Shirou, Mashiro, and the Fat Director decide to continue their investigation. The scumbag teacher who forced the class to participate in some kind of charity activity died mysteriously. Further investigation reveals that this isn't just one or two cases recently, but over a dozen; the killer is practically hunting its prey.

With ghosts jumping off buildings and cannibalized corpses, there must be something connected behind all this.

So the three decided to set off to find out the reason behind it all.

A tall man dressed in black suddenly walked out onto the road.

"Yes... Araya Sōren," he said, looking at Shirou, then gesturing for him to follow, before heading straight into the dark alley ahead.

"I'll go over there and be right back," Shirou said to Mashiro and the Fat Director.

"I understand." Mashiro nodded.

Shirou approached Araya Sōren and demanded, "What do you want to say?"

"Of course, it's for our shared wish! To save all living beings! To provide the relief that all humanity needs!" Araya Sōren said, spreading his hands.

"While this is a good wish, it's simply too difficult, at least not something we can achieve right now," Shirou said.

"No, it can be done, as long as you have the power," Araya Sōren said decisively.

"What?" Shirou looked at the man in black in surprise.

"I had already lost hope in humanity, and at one point I thought that humans had no value in the world and that the only way to lead them to extinction was to do so. But because of your existence, I have found a new way," said Araya Sōren.

"I don't think humanity has fallen to the point where you have to decide whether or not to despair, whether or not to disappear. Besides, words alone are not enough; I don't believe your methods can bring happiness to all of humanity," Shirou said, looking at the man.

"It's possible! As long as you act as the conduit and reconnect with the White God! The White God, with his selfless spirit, is far more suitable than the Root of 'Emptiness.' Let the White God impart his knowledge to every human being, just as he has to you, raising people's minds to a level a hundred years higher. This will lead to a new evolution for all humanity, making them enlightened beings! Then, even if they don't disappear, everyone can become a Buddha. Everyone lives for the happiness of others, naturally achieving a blissful Pure Land where everyone is happy!" Araya Sōren exclaimed with ecstasy.

"That would just be forcibly implanting my ideas into everyone. Not everyone can accept it, and they might even have a rejection reaction," Shirou said, frowning. The method the man in black described was nothing more than brainwashing all of humanity.

"Necessary sacrifices are worthwhile, and I have a way to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of sinners and then uniformly transform all of humanity. Compared to the happiness of billions of people, that's nothing. I've already prepared the location for you. Using this Ogawa Apartment as the core, radiate outwards to a radius of five kilometers. Just by sacrificing these people, the energy will be enough to save all of humanity! This is immeasurable merit!" Araya Sōren said with a devout smile.

"No, on the road to pursuing happiness, there may be a few people who oppose it because of their stance, and there may be villains who obstruct everything, but there will never be hundreds of thousands of people. If innocent people have to sacrifice themselves because of this, it is absolutely not right!" Shirou glared at Araya Sōren and said firmly.

He was certain once again that the man before him was beyond communication; he had completely gone mad.

"You would kill one person for the sake of another's happiness, wouldn't you? You are the judge, how about using incorrigible criminals to save the world?" Araya Sōren said, looking at Shirou.

"No!" Shirou denied.

"Is that so? In that case, I'll come looking for you again. I hope you'll change your mind next time. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to take over your body and carry out the Salvation of all Humanity in your place." Araya Sōren said, turning and leaving.
