Thinking too much is terrifying, so don't overthink things when there's no need...

At night, Uraraka Shige wandered aimlessly through the alleyways.

Not long ago, he received a small sum of money from the kind-hearted thugs who stayed out several nights, just enough to buy a discounted fast food bento box.

He had eaten and drunk his fill and was digesting the food in his stomach. While searching for new kind-hearted people, he was thinking about his current situation and the information he had gathered about the criminal gang in the office building.

"Now, despite some unexpected circumstances, I've at least joined a faction under 'AFO,' and you could say I'm getting closer and closer to 'AFO'..."

"Although in reality I seem to be far from being able to participate in All Might and 'AFO,' or even influence the situation and outcome of this battle, at least there's a glimmer of hope, so I guess it can be considered that my goal is within reach?"

Uraraka Shige first boasted and praised himself with a touch of self-satisfaction, in order to relax his mind and prevent himself from making mistakes due to impatience and urgency.

"But it's just something to look forward to, isn't it?"

He then began to reflect on his current shortcomings and mistakes, reminding himself that he was still far from perfect and must not let his guard down or become arrogant and complacent. As a result, he not only failed to repay All Might's life-saving grace, but also brought trouble upon himself.

"After all, so far, they haven't officially joined that office building... and even judging Zōti what the Doctor said..."

Uraraka Shige couldn't help but recall what the Zōti- faced, hook-nosed Doctor had said to him when he was holding that sealed glass container in the dark underground room.

"What exactly does that office building do...? In other words, are there some unknown shady dealings taking place inside that office building..."

"And what Doctor. Zōti said about him working there... What exactly was his job? And why did he leave? Has the so-called initiation ceremony really not changed? If so, how did Doctor. Zōti know this? Does this mean that Doctor. Zōti is still in contact with some people in this office building? Or does he still have some intelligence channels that allow him to continue monitoring the inside of that office building?"

These questions, like a tangled mess, swirled and tossed in Uraraka Shige's mind, to the point that he even felt as if his head had grown a size larger.

However, these questions did not end there. Instead, as he pondered them, more and more doubts quietly surfaced in his mind.

"... And that container, with such a small size, what exactly is it for? And the Doctor Zōti used the term 'fresh goods,' but what exactly constitutes 'fresh'? And aren't things that can be described as 'fresh' usually things like fish, shrimp, vegetables, fruits, wine, meat, eggs, and dairy products?"

"It needs to be small in size, and it needs to be described as novel. Moreover, it shouldn't be one of those common items; in fact, it should be processed and sold discreetly in a hidden, unknown place..."

As she pondered this, a look of fear suddenly appeared on Uraraka Shige's face, and her normally pacing abruptly stopped.

"Etc..."

Uraraka Shige seemed to have made a connection to something...

"Fresh (fish, shrimp, vegetables, fruits, wine, meat, eggs, dairy, etc.)... require something that is kept secret and concealed (violating laws, ethics, or moral principles)... and will require a 'Doctor' like the one with the hooked nose (related to humans themselves, or rather, the human body)... and it seems the Zōti Doctor also needs (judging from the 'Quirk' of this 'enemy', the hooked-nosed Zōti Doctor)..."

Uraraka Shige swallowed hard, trying to suppress her panic and mentally encouraging herself.

"What's all the panic about! We've all killed people! Smuggling and selling human organs and stuff... I'm not panicking at all!"

Well, even so, thinking back to his previous life, the descriptions of those who trafficked human organs in movies and TV shows, even though Uraraka Shige this life under certain extreme emotions, he still felt a sense of panic that he had to admit.

This sense of panic wasn't just about myself, but also partly about whether my family in this life would suffer some kind of retribution...

Okay, actually, given his selfish nature, he's probably quite panicked about the potential consequences if his true intentions are revealed...

Especially given his memories of his past life, he was acutely aware of many torture methods that sent chills down his spine just thinking about them...

Uraraka Shige swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before finally suppressing her panic. She then took a deep breath, and a sudden inspiration flashed into her mind.

"No... that's not right... While judging by these points, the smuggling and sale of human organs is indeed highly probable, the size of the container Zōti Doctor gave me... if we disregard the spaces at both ends where nothing could be stored, simply considering its volume, it seems unlikely to fit a fresh organ..."

Uraraka Shige this way, even though a more ominous and heinous conjecture lingered in his mind. He was more inclined to believe that the guys in the office building weren't involved in organ trafficking, because if that were the case, Uraraka Shige would be in grave danger.

"Hiss~~Whoosh~~"

Uraraka Shige took another deep breath, suppressing these thoughts deep in her heart and forcing herself to stop thinking about them.

"This is... truly terrifying to think about, truly terrifying. Perhaps I'm overthinking it... I should probably think about where I can get a good night's rest tonight..."

Uraraka Shige shifted his focus, setting up a third layer of protection to prevent himself from continuing to think about the previous issues.

"Should we go to that bookstore to find the 'Zōti Doctor'? Or maybe the Granny Gray' guy? Or even that office building?"

Thinking about this, Uraraka Shige felt that her thoughts were about to veer off course again, so she immediately rejected these ideas in her mind.

"No, no, no, I definitely can't go back to that office building or to Doctor. Zōti's place... I already told him I was staying at a friend's house at the office building, and Doctor. Zōti shouldn't know I'm not a local, otherwise they wouldn't have been so accommodating..."
