This World Is Seriously Ill

These suspicions had already been confirmed when Kevin entered the room and noticed the surrounding decorations, as well as the photo on the bedside table of Shizuka Marikawa with a purple-haired police woman.

Just as the Commander had predicted, Saeko Busujima, who had finished washing first, was originally going to Shizuka Marikawa's bedroom to get a new set of clothes. However, she encountered Blondie, who had entered first.

Due to the dim lighting, Blondie mistook her for Shizuka Marikawa. Seeing that she initially had no intention of resisting, he became increasingly excited, bold, and unrestrained.

As a result, Saeko Busujima killed the idiot in one round and brutally broke his arm.

"Because I directly shot that idiot, you think it's too inhumane and want to come eliminate me, the 'Demon'?"

Kevin's gun, aimed directly at Saeko Busujima's heart, was as steady as a mountain, his calm tone revealing little of his emotions.

"I originally just wanted to teach him a simple lesson, but he unintentionally exposed his long-standing improper intentions towards Teacher Shizuka."

"So, I crippled him..."

Saeko Busujima held her hands up, showing no pity or guilt for Blondie's death.

Kevin's gun remained lowered, but his tone became somewhat playful.

"So, are you here to stop me from cleaning up the other two scumbags?"

Facing this meticulous Agent, Saeko Busujima's expression showed surprise again, and she subconsciously nodded her head.

"The remaining two were only peeping; their crime doesn't warrant death..."

Upon hearing this, Kevin put his handgun back into its holster, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, as if the fierce Wolf King who had just pointed a gun at the High School Girl's head was merely an illusion.

"Don't worry, am I that bloodthirsty?"

"Blondie was the first to cross the line, and you broke his arm. Even if he's healed, he'd be a liability. If he held a grudge, he would eventually become a hidden danger within the group."

"Using his little life to scare the monkeys is just making the best use of him."

Saeko Busujima let out a slight sigh. The serene aura, reminiscent of a Yamato Nadeshiko, had vanished without her realizing it.

In fact, her tensed muscles and defensive posture were silently telling her: she already considered this man a formidable enemy!

His keen insight that pierced through everything and his decisive ruthlessness made Saeko Busujima feel like a thorn in her back, filling her with apprehension.

At this moment, the wavering Kendo Club Captain didn't want to be alone with this man and only wished to leave as soon as possible.

However, the moment Saeko Busujima turned around, the mocking and curious words from behind made her heart waver again, her body stiffening.

"It just makes me very curious that someone with strong violent tendencies is pleading for two idiots who were peeping..."

"Rape! Torture! This is the dark essence of your heart! Why don't you surrender to it instead of putting on a mask of hypocrisy?"

"When you saw me take down Koichi Shido, you got excited, didn't you?"

"We're the same kind of people, Saeko, natural predators of this world!"

The Kendo Club Captain subconsciously retreated repeatedly, filled with dread. This was her deepest secret.

She harbored an unforgivable dark side within her, which was why she felt unworthy of having girlish feelings. Therefore, even though she had once had a crush on a boy later on, she never confessed.

Because she felt unworthy of confessing, unworthy of loving others or being loved.

In her battles with the "dead bodies," she had confirmed this once again: killing brought her immense pleasure.

Within her elegant and cold exterior, a twisted and insane soul had grown!

"No! I just... I just..."

Saeko Busujima shook her head repeatedly but couldn't fundamentally refute Kevin's words, because they were the truth.

Feelings of inferiority and panic brewed endlessly within her.

"Alright, if you answer my next question correctly, I will not only apologize for my previous words but also vow to protect your secret."

Kevin smiled slightly, spread his hands, and walked over slowly. The whisper by Saeko Busujima's ear was like a demon's murmur.

Her dark soul being exposed to her classmates was what Saeko Busujima feared most, so she had no choice but to agree to the gamble before her.

However, her resilient spirit as a swordswoman allowed her to quickly adjust her mindset as soon as she made her decision.

Kevin's lips curved into a strange arc. He gently patted Saeko Busujima's shoulder with his left hand and began posing his question as he paced, but this vigilant bastard's right hand never left his gun holster.

"If, deep within your heart, there live two beasts, one a black wolf and the other a white sheep..."

"And one day, the wolf wants to eat the sheep. You have a knife in your hand, what will you do?"

Saeko Busujima understood the metaphor in Kevin's words. The "wolf" represented the "evil" in human nature, and the "sheep" represented the "goodness" of life.

The clash between good and evil had never stopped within her heart, and the outcome of evil consuming goodness had already occurred once during her middle school years.

In middle school, Saeko Busujima was attacked by a pervert on her way home from school.

However, because the Kendo Club Captain happened to be carrying a wooden sword, she deliberately let the pervert approach her before severely injuring him with the wooden sword, breaking his leg and shoulder bones.

The pleasure of destroying a life made her realize at that moment how terrifying her sadistic tendencies hidden deep within her soul were.

Facing this question, Saeko Busujima took a deep breath. Clenching her fists, she solemnly responded.

"With the knife, kill the wolf!"

"Or, sever its limbs so it can no longer threaten the sheep!"

The smile on Kevin's face gradually widened, but the moment he turned his body behind Saeko Busujima, he slapped the High School Girl on the head.

"Idiot! Who told you wolves are always bad and sheep are always good?"

"Besides, how do you know sheep won't take the opportunity to eat wolves?"

Sheep eating wolves? Faced with this almost absurd notion, Saeko Busujima was full of shock and confusion.

"The correct answer is to tie up the wolves and pen up the sheep..."

Kevin snorted, leaned close to Saeko Busujima's ear, and whispered in a deep voice.

"We are not absolutely good, nor are we purely evil..."

"Showing mercy to those in need is only human..."

"When facing injustice on the road ahead, repay blood with blood, and tooth for tooth!"

"So, don't deny the brutality and darkness within you, and don't yearn for the pure white above..."

"If you want to struggle to survive in this crazy world..."

"You need both the goodness of humanity and the necessary evil..."

"Sadism isn't scary. Honestly, killing is quite addictive. I've even started to like that simple, brutal feeling myself..."

"But the key is, is it controlling you, or are you controlling it?"

The magnetic murmur in her ear made Saeko Busujima's expression shift from initial resistance and confusion to bewilderment and struggle.

Years of peaceful living had led the young girl to constantly hate and deny her own sadistic tendencies, even forming a deep-rooted inferiority complex.

But the demon before her opened a new door for her.

This world wasn't kind, and she didn't need to force herself to be pure and flawless. The human heart was inherently a mix of good and evil; why force a separation?

Kevin paused, recalling Buddhist culture and Japanese kendo philosophy, which seemed to have a deep connection, so he gave one last example.

"Even Buddhism, besides the Bodhisattva's grace, has the fierce wrath of the Vajra..."

"So, don't do stupid things like trying to wash yourself into a saintly white lotus..."

"Know your limits and just be yourself..."

After a long while, the struggle and confusion in Saeko Busujima's eyes completely vanished. A strong sense of confidence bloomed within her, and the shackles that had bound her sword's spirit were gone.

Saeko Busujima let out a sigh of relief, exhaling the stale air from her chest. Her spirit became radiant. When the girl's inner knot dissolved, she wanted to thank the person, only to find he had already quietly departed.

"Thank you... Teacher..."

Saeko Busujima bowed in the direction he had left, adopting the posture of a junior.

Section 77 Chapter 74 The True Apocalypse!

In a corner on the first floor, two boys huddled together behind an isolation belt, trembling.

Even though it was mealtime, they had only grabbed two cans of food and were hiding here, lost in thought.

"If he finds us, that lunatic will kill us, right?"

They were the teammates who had been responsible for keeping watch for Blondie. However, after realizing the situation had escalated, they had immediately jumped out the window in terror and fled.

The fact that Blondie had been shot dead by the Commander sent a chill down the spines of these two, who thought they had escaped death.

"Why don't we just run?"

The thinner male student pointed towards the dark road ahead and suggested to his companion, who had spoken first.

"Don't drag me down if you want to die! Do you know what's out there? A bunch of man-eating monsters! We don't even have weapons or food. Even if we escape, how long can we survive?"

The stronger basketball forward immediately shook off his companion's arm, scoffing at his terrible idea.

"Then what do we do? Wait to die?"

The thin male student was almost crying from fear.

"He's kind to women, you saw that..."

"How about we ask School Doctor Shizuka to plead for us..."

"She's so kind and easy to talk to, she won't let her students die. As long as we can convince her, we might be able to survive!"

"Don't forget, she's so beautiful and popular. That guy looks like a pervert, he definitely won't be able to refuse Teacher Shizuka's request..."

Although the basketball forward was strong, he calmed down and his mind raced, finally coming up with the most reliable plan.

The thin male student nodded repeatedly. Since that guy hadn't dragged them out and shot them in the head on the spot, maybe there was a chance.

"It's best to let Teacher Shizuka have some alcohol, her drinking manners aren't good..."

"Yeah, and wear less, fully display a woman's charm..."

But for some reason, the more they talked, the more off-topic they became, their secret plotting sounding more and more like "pimping."

Meanwhile, in the second-floor hall, the cooked meals were being distributed to everyone.

As Kevin arrived, the students hurriedly made space, offering their most lavish dinner to this United Nations Agent.

Kevin's brow furrowed unintentionally. This was not a good sign.

But to put these frightened birds at ease, Kevin had no choice but to accept the food and consider his next strategy.

Currently, there were 30 students, 18 males and 12 females, plus one teacher who was also the school doctor.

Unifying them would indeed be difficult, but at least after this demonstration, the unstable elements within the group had been removed.

Therefore, after the stick, it was time for the carrot.

Kevin quickly finished his meal, popped a few mints, and took out a map of Toko City from his backpack, spreading it out on the table.

"First, mark the locations of your homes on the map in order. Tomorrow, once we've consolidated, I'll design a route that can hopefully search for your families."

"Second, Toda Hirano is trying to modify the car radio to enable communication on the same channel. We might be able to contact more people this way."

"This way, even if we can't rescue everyone individually, as long as your parents are alive, they can be directed to a rendezvous point."

"Furthermore, the electromagnetic interference is gradually weakening, and communications might be restored after some time..."

"Until then, strive to survive, everyone..."

This sliver of hope immediately caused the previously frightened and uneasy students to eagerly crowd forward, registering their family information on the map and a nearby notebook.

The fear they had initially felt towards Kevin was now gradually turning into awe and gratitude.

Bored, Kevin walked onto the second-floor balcony, feeling the cold wind, hoping to briefly relax his tired mind.

"Will you really save their families?"

Saeko Busujima, who had followed him, leaned against the railing and asked the Commander, who was chewing on a coffee candy.

"This is a war for humanity. If possible, I would certainly like to unite more forces."

"But the prerequisite is that it doesn't affect my mission..."

As they spoke, Kevin slightly frowned at the bitterness of the coffee candy. He casually took a Mentos from his backpack, popped two into his mouth, and then tossed the rest to Saeko beside him.
