District 39, a Utopia for the Cursed Children (5.1K)

As if by magic, he tossed all these mechanical organs into the ring.

Take it back to Tatsuya and FLT to study; maybe they can come up with something new.

"Dad... Dad...? Where are you, Dad!"

Hiruko Kohina finally came to her senses, her wide red eyes filled with despair. She knelt on the table, her hands constantly wiping away the scattered dust, as if trying to sweep it away and find traces of her father, Hiruko Kagetane.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she searched, all she found was gray dust and a brown wooden tabletop.

She continued until she finally found the edge of a round-toed tactical boot.

"Dad?!"

She suddenly looked up, only to find that it wasn't her father, but her mortal enemy, Yotsuba Mahiro's familiar yet unfamiliar face, casting a calm gaze upon her.

"Hiruko Kagetane is dead."

"Impossible... I don't believe it! Dad is the best! You must be lying to me! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!!!"

Hiruko Kohina went berserk, like a wild beast unleashed, repeatedly muttering "I'll cut you down," before drawing two katanas from her waist and slashing them towards Yotsuba Mahiro's waist.

Clang--

Tiny sparks burst forth in the air.

"Don't you dare be disrespectful to Mahiro! I'm your opponent!!!"

Mibu Asaka appeared in front of Yotsuba Mahiro, drawing her katana to block Hiruko Kohina's twin-sword attack.

The sparks of fire illuminated their faces.

While blocking Kohina's slash, Mibu Asaka kicked her in the abdomen, sending her flying.

Hiruko Kohina was forcibly forced to stay away from Yotsuba Mahiro's side.

Mahiro had originally planned to knock Hiruko Kohina unconscious, but seeing Asaka's fighting spirit, he silently put the CAD back into his pocket and let Asaka go.

It's important to know that Asaka, who Kisara Tendo for a year, is now a completely different person. In terms of kendo skill alone, even Hiruko Kohina, who was originally ranked 134th, is no match for her.

This also allowed Asaka to vent her inner dissatisfaction.

It's also a good opportunity to use Hiruko Kohina to let Mibu Asaka test her own strength and achievements.

"Do you know what you've done?! Detective Yotsuba Mahiro!"

Just then, the old man on the screen, Tendo Kikunojo, let out a powerful and furious voice.

"What did I do? I merely killed a terrorist as ordered by His Majesty the Seitenshi Emperor. Was that wrong?"

Yotsuba Mahiro feigned an innocent and surprised expression.

"..."

Tendo Kikunojo slowly narrowed his eyes, his muscular chest rising and falling gently, his sharp gaze fixed on him through the screen.

"Do you know that person possesses crucial information that the Holy Residence needs?"

"Oh really? Why didn't you say so sooner? Why didn't you say so sooner?" Mahiro shrugged, looking at the dignified old man on the screen with a mocking expression, and said, "Besides, isn't that a matter for your superiors? What does it have to do with me, a policeman?"

"Your Excellency, Tendo, you wouldn't be trying to renege on your debt, would you?"

The last part of the words already conveyed a strong sense of threat.

"That's right. What information Hiruko Kagetane carries has nothing to do with us police officers. You can only blame yourselves for not explaining the request clearly at the time."

Just then, Kisara climbed onto the round table of the conference room, walked step by step to the large screen, and looked at the old man.

"Kisara..."

"Hello, Lord Tiantong. It's been a long time. How have you been?"

Faced with Kikunojo's angry expression, Kisara calmly smiled at him, his tone of consolation quite subtle.

"Still haven't let go of your resentment? You vengeful ghost returned from hell!"

"Not at all. I was merely protecting the best officers in our police company. It was just a coincidence that you were involved. Could it be that Lord Tiantong is also involved in this matter, which is why you feel guilty?"

"You actually tried to talk your way out of this..."

"You should know that all 'Tendo's' must die, Lord Tendo."

Kisara narrowed his eyes, which gleamed with a cold light. "This is not a warning, but my way of survival."

"Kisara..." Kikunojo narrowed his eyes angrily, his imposing presence palpable even through the screen.

"Kisara..."

This doesn't sound like a conversation between a grandfather and grandson at all.

Because the Seitenshi had some understanding of the relationship between Kisara and Kikunojo, he was also terrified.

Rentaro Satomi felt worried as he looked at the old man on the screen, who was almost bursting with rage, and the girl on the table, who was filled with intense hatred.

Tendo Kikunojo was his adoptive father, and by seniority, he was Kisara Tendo's uncle.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Kikunojo ten years ago, he would have already perished in the jaws of Gastrea and wouldn't be alive today.

Therefore, even though he left the Tendo Family with Kisara, he always felt a sense of gratitude towards the Tendo Family, or rather, towards Tendo Kikunojo.

Out of gratitude, he has been trying to find a way to help Kisara let go of his hatred.

But that's obviously impossible.

Destroying the Tendo Family had long been Kisara Tendo's only way to survive, a vengeful demon.

Rentaro Satomi was caught in a deep dilemma; he couldn't let Kisara kill the Tendo Family no matter what.

"You two should stop here."

The Seitenshi slowly spoke, "President Tiantong, the Holy Residence will provide the full reward for killing Hiruko Kagetane. The quest to find the Seven Star Relic Box should also continue."

So let's leave it at that, okay?"

With the Seitenshi mediating between them, both sides temporarily set aside their hatred for each other, and no one complained.

Meanwhile, the battle between Mibu Asaka and Hiruko Kohina has also come to a conclusion.

The one who lost was, of course, Hiruko Kohina.

Two katanas lay forlornly to one side, while Kohina herself was tightly bound with rope that Asaka had somehow found.

The Hiruko Kagetane incident can be considered to have come to a close.

After leaving the Ministry of Defense building, Mahiro went straight home.

After instructing Asaka not to be disturbed by anyone, he took Hiruko Kohina.

Kohina was placed on the chair, kept squirming. If the rope hadn't been strong enough, she probably would have broken free by now.

The intense hatred in those crimson eyes never diminished; on the contrary, it intensified.

"This is really a headache..."

Mahiro scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

It wasn't that he couldn't handle this little girl; on the contrary, he had plenty of ways to deal with her, but if possible, he wanted to use gentler methods.

But that's clearly impossible.

After all, he had killed her father, Hiruko Kagetane, right in front of her.

Although Hiruko Kagetane used Hiruko Kohina as a prop to some extent, the two were indeed father and daughter.

"Forget it, thinking this much over and over isn't like me."

After a moment of thought, Yotsuba Mahiro had already decided on a plan. Bright waves of Psions immediately surrounded him, gradually building a spiritual bridge between him and Kohina.

He planned to imitate the way Yotsuba Clan brainwashed Maya Yotsuba in the Yotsuba Miya and perform a memory wipe on Kohina.

Let's erase all the past and let her start a new life.

Having inherited the Yotsuba Family's genes, he was naturally capable of doing so.

"Waaaaah!!!"

Although Kohina didn't know what was about to happen, she sensed that it was something bad and began to struggle frantically again.

However, how could her spirit alone withstand the powerful spiritual force of Mahiro?

Soon, under the influence of her mental power, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and even though she was unwilling, they slowly closed.

A faint whisper reached my ear.

"Sleep well, sleep peacefully, and when you wake up, you will be greeted with a brand new life."

"Um... Daddy..."

With her final murmur, Kohina fell into a deep sleep.

The surgery was very successful.

After nearly an hour of effort, Yotsuba Mahiro finally managed to completely erase all of Hiruko Kagetane's memories from Kohina's body.

At this moment, Kohina was lying on the soft bed, fast asleep with her eyes tightly closed.

Looking at her peaceful, innocent sleeping face, and recalling the memories he had glimpsed from Kohina's mind, Mahiro couldn't help but sigh softly again.

"What a terrible thing you've done, Hiruko Kagetane."

Hiruko Kohina was not born in a normal manner.

She was born through artificial insemination of five women Hiruko Kagetane had abducted. For the first seven years, she was subjected to killing training and brainwashing in a basement. Later, she met the other four sisters and they killed each other.

And in the end, the one who survived the fight between the sisters was Kohina.

It can be said that Hiruko Kagetane used a method of raising venomous insects to create his most satisfying and outstanding work.

A completely insane little girl.

Chapter 72, District 39, The Cursed Children's Utopia (5.1K)

"Mahiro, we've received your payment, and your share has been transferred to you. Thanks to you again, we've landed another big order!"

If I can find the box, I can achieve financial freedom!

Therefore, the club president has decided that once Satomi returns, we'll go out for a team-building activity and have a proper celebration!

"That's possible, but I suggest you don't open the champagne too early, boss. Things might change before you know it."

"Pah, pah, pah, you jinx! This commission is definitely ours!"

On the phone, Kisara chattered away, and you could tell just how excited she was just by listening to her voice.

Too.

After all, the usual commissions are either tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and this is the first time I've landed a commission of one hundred million, not to mention the major commission with a reward of one billion that follows!

Now that Hiruko Kagetane is no longer a threat, and given that the Gastrea that swallowed the box was only level 1 according to intelligence, it's understandable that Kisara Tendo would be so excited.

After a while...

His phone then received a notification that ten million had been transferred.

This was an agreement between him and Kisara. Unlike Rentaro Satomi, who received a fixed salary, he would receive 10% of the reward for each completed request.

Although the amount of money wasn't much, it didn't matter. What he was after wasn't the money, but Kisara Tendo himself.

Long, straight black hair, and a high school girl practicing kendo—she completely embodied his ideal type.

I'm lusting after the president's body, I'm being honest.

However, at this moment, he was driving in the opposite direction from the rest of the traffic, getting further and further away from the city, while the Monolith standing in the distance was getting bigger and bigger.

The surrounding scenery seemed to have gone from prosperity to ruin, with damaged and abandoned buildings everywhere, and lush green weeds sprouting from the cracks in the asphalt road.

This is the dark side of the prosperous Tokyo Area —the outlying districts.

"I guess I'm going to lose my meager balance again this time."
