I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Kasuga Hijiri doesn't object to Raiji taking revenge, but she absolutely cannot watch someone she cares about go down the wrong path she doesn't want to see.

Although the God of the Bible is loving and has a spirit of dedication to the world he loves, he cannot tolerate every existence.

Ghouls didn't even exist while she was still active in the world.

The history of ghouls is at most a hundred years. I don't know how Michael and Gabriel managed to let this race, which should be purified and exterminated, still exist.

If it were in her time, any ghouls that dared to show themselves would definitely be eradicated by the angels under her command.

"...More important things exist, but hatred is equally important. Don't expect me to repay evil with kindness!" With his face cupped by Haruhi's warm little hands, Raize's expression gradually fell silent, but his eyes remained cold and unapproachable.

"Who wants you to repay evil with kindness?!"

Kasuga Sei rolled her eyes at Rai Zhe, not objecting to his actions driven by hatred, but simply not wanting to see him go astray.

After taking revenge, just kill those six ghouls. Don't waste your time torturing these human-stick ghouls. Torturing those ghouls to pursue some twisted pleasure is something Kasuga Sei would absolutely not allow Raize to do.

Although Kasuga Sei has only spent a short time with Raiji, he knows that once Raiji makes up his mind to do something, there is absolutely no way to dissuade him, let alone just now when he asked him to give up torturing those six ghouls.

That's why she decided to strike first and act without consulting anyone else.

Razer's enemies are her enemies. If Razer does anything dirty, this Bible-themed little goddess won't interfere too much, and might even help him if necessary. She'll hand him a knife if he commits murder, but if it comes down to the fundamental issue, she won't allow Razer to go astray!

"Hey~"

After Rai Zhe gradually fell silent, Kasuga Sei took advantage of the situation and moved even closer to him. Then, with Rai Zhe's lips twitching, she childishly sat on Rai Zhe's neck.

Feeling the wonderful touch of the soft, slender legs against his cheeks and ears, and as the petite girl adjusted her comfortable sitting position, the white stockings, like ice cream, gently rubbed against the handsome, fair cheeks of the young man, Lei Zhe's silent and cold heart couldn't help but stir.

From Kasuga Sei's perspective, Reiji's cheeks flushed slightly. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he grabbed Kasuga Sei's slender legs, which were fidgeting wildly, and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "Don't move! Are you a child, you Bible Lolita God?!"

"Then take me home quickly and offer a meal to the esteemed deity. In return, I will continue to teach you!"

"You won't starve to death if you skip a meal or two, you can just eat bread!"

“If my angels hear your disrespectful words, they will hang you on a cross and burn you with holy fire.”

"You, currently in a state of retirement and slacking off, are not qualified!"

Like a brother and sister or a father and daughter arguing, Raiji took Kasuga Hijiri, who was sitting on his neck and pulling his hair, home.

Rezhe had mixed feelings about the adorable little girl sitting on his neck.

However, in Kasuga Hijiri's own eyes, he was the one guiding Raiichi, like an elder.

************

[Ding! The new game 'Journey to the West 1: The Seven Demon Kings' has finished loading. Players are welcome to start playing!]

After returning home and finishing dinner with Kasuga Hijiri, Raiji went back to his room to start playing the new game.

As for Kasuga Sei, who had just finished eating, he was watching a high school variety show in the living room. Thanks to Kasuga Sei's persuasion and the subtle transmission of Sei's power into his body, Rai Zhe was now focusing his attention on becoming stronger.

Besides seeking revenge, he also wants peace of mind and to find his family, so he must strive to become stronger.

Now that the main revenge has been taken, he will slowly settle accounts with the remaining people connected to his family in this matter.

The new game is also one that Lei Zhe is familiar with; it can be said to be a classic game from his childhood in his previous life: Dream Journey to the West.

It tells the story of a group of four who are on a pilgrimage to the West, defeating one evil boss after another and growing stronger as they go through eighty-one tribulations!

Because this game was a huge hit when Lei Zhe was a child, a series was later released, the most outstanding of which was Journey to the West 3: Havoc in Heaven.

The entire series of games is based on Journey to the West, connecting the adventures of the pilgrims after they obtained the scriptures through a series of game versions. At that time, there weren't many online games that required real-money spending. He played this game by himself and often played it with his friends.

The Journey to the West series can be said to have accompanied Lei Zhe from childhood to adulthood. When recalling the classic games he played, Journey to the West is definitely one of them.

He still remembers the background of the first part of the game "Journey to the West: Dream Maker," which is set after Tang Sanzang and his disciples finished their journey to the West, obtained Buddhist scriptures, and became Buddhas.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the seal on the Bull Demon King was broken, and at the same time, seven demons appeared in the East Sea, known as the Seven Great Demon Kings, among whom the Bull Demon King was the most powerful.

Countless foreign caravans had arrived in the East Sea, and countless caravan leaders, upon learning of the situation, prepared to flee. However, this demon led a large army to plunder and slaughter the members of these foreign caravans. With the deaths of these foreign caravans, the East Sea was no longer peaceful.

And so the story begins.

"Hmm, is Tang Sanzang or Sun Wukong...?"

Lei Zhe stared at the familiar game interface on his computer screen with a complex expression, as if he were reminiscing about unforgettable things from his hometown in a foreign land. He was about to choose between two characters from the game "Journey to the West"—Sun Wukong or Tang Sanzang.

The first one represents a warrior, and the second one represents a mage. Lei Zhe was having a hard time deciding which game character to choose.

[Ah Zhe, with your current abilities, playing the two-player mode alone shouldn't be a problem. As for whether you can draw the character inheritance, that depends on luck.]

Suddenly, the system's yawning voice appeared, giving Rai Zhe, who was in a dilemma, an idea.

After all, this Journey to the West has a two-player mode. With Lei Zhe's super-fast hand speed and reaction ability, he can control not only two characters, but dozens of them without any problem.

"Let's do it your way!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhe thought it was a good idea. Playing two characters wouldn't be a problem for him, and what he would get after completing the game depended on luck.

The best thing is character inheritance, followed by those precious items or equipment in the game.

Listening to the familiar game music and the opening scene, Lei Zhe started playing two characters and began his magical skills, his hands entering a super-fast movement state to complete the first part of Journey to the West.

**********

The following day, following Raiji's involvement in the CCG's operation to eliminate the ghoul organization, the CCG successfully breached the organization and rescued a large number of human comrades, attracting media attention.

It can be said that the CCG really took down a big fish this time. Children who had frequently gone missing in the past have also been found. Children who went missing recently have also been found.

Thanks to media coverage, CCG's deterrent power and public prestige have been greatly enhanced.

However, the key personnel from the CCG involved in this operation felt only a little happy about the outcome; their emotions were mostly somber.

When they explored the underground air-raid shelters in that area, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves and fight to the death, but when they arrived, it turned out that they were hardly involved at all.

The surviving hostages have been rescued, and the main ghouls remaining underground have all been annihilated. In addition to the human remains that were eaten by ghouls, many high-level ghoul corpses have also been added to the scene.

There were dozens of S-class ghouls and many well-known SS-class ghouls, but by the time the CCG arrived at the scene, they had all been reduced to mangled corpses.

P.S.: There's not much of a hidden story behind the beginning of this incident. In this neon world, some people will also resort to any means necessary. Ghouls don't have much status in this world, even lower than humans, making them very suitable for use as guns.

Some ghouls, who are self-aware and understand part of the truth about the world, have a lower status in my book than in the original version. It is impossible for them to interfere in 'politics' and do whatever they want. Ghouls are just fuel for Reiji's eternal destruction. (indifferent face)

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Humble Ghoul

While rescuing the terrified hostages, some members of the CCG wanted to inquire about what had happened, but rescuing the large number of hostages was the most important thing.

After they carefully examined the scene themselves, the remaining traces and evidence indicated that an unidentified masked person had crushed so many ghouls at the same time.

Even the hostages who were rescued described it in this way.

"All I heard was an explosion, followed by the screams of the ghouls, and then I saw the masked man in black confronting the giant spider."

"I didn't see how he did it. As soon as he disappeared, many ghouls were killed."

"After he killed all the enemies and let us out to wait for rescue, he suddenly disappeared."

"..."

This information, obtained directly from the hostages at the scene, also gave the CCG's top brass a headache; the description given by the other party was not human at all.

Based on the information they gathered from the ghouls at the scene and the corpses, most of the ghouls were killed with a single blow. They also found some pieces of flesh from the ice shards of the ghouls who were near the iron cage where the hostages were being held.

These on-site traces are exactly the same as the scene described by the victim.

The CCG personnel were on edge because they didn't know whether this mysterious person was friend or foe, and according to the victim, the person also possessed special abilities.

They rescued a little girl who was on the verge of death on the spot and restored her arm that had been severed by the ghoul.

All signs indicated that the other party was no ordinary person, and they wanted to conduct an in-depth investigation, but the CCG's higher-ups unusually stopped them from doing so.

Shinohara Yukinori sighed with a frown in his CCG office. He looked at Hoji Kousuke, who was working with an impeccable expression, and asked:

"Is it really okay not to investigate this? And on top of that, there are rumors that our CCG breached the enemy organization and rescued the hostages. I feel quite uneasy about it..."

That's absolutely true. Shinohara Yukinori is a very down-to-earth guy. As a CCG Special Class, he is a capable individual who has defeated countless vicious ghouls. Although he doesn't have the genius aura of Arima Kishou, he is a man who works hard and achieves results, and he is known as "the indomitable Shinohara".

He acknowledged that he had done the things, but he disdained to impersonate someone else if he hadn't done them.

In this operation to eliminate this ghoul organization, the CCG only targeted the outer ghouls; they only found the mangled corpses of the ghouls at the very center.

He simply picked up a ready-made result and took all the credit for it. Although Shinohara Yukinori knew that doing so would enhance the CCG's prestige, he actually didn't approve of this behavior.

He could tolerate this, but the orders from higher-ups forbidding any further investigation into the matter and the mysterious masked man were something Shinohara Yukinori couldn't hold back.

A while ago, when I visited the little girl Katsura Shin who had been saved by Rai Zhe, her mother stopped me for various reasons, and Katsura Kotonoha didn't reveal much useful information.

Hoji Kousuke is physically strong and has a standard square, serious face; he practically has "tough guy" written all over his face.

Hearing what his colleague said, his expression remained unchanged. He stopped revising the documents, turned to the other person, and said, "Having worked in the CCG for so many years, you should know some secrets that ordinary people can't know. I'm a little dissatisfied that the higher-ups don't allow an investigation into this matter, but I won't object."

Upon hearing this, Shinohara Yukinori's expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at Hoji Kousuke and said in a low voice, "You mean, those ghouls have offended others...?"

Having worked in the CCG for so many years, Shinohara Yukinori knows many secrets that ordinary people cannot know. In addition to ghouls, there are other beings in this world that are even stronger than ghouls, hiding in the shadows.

Hōji Kōsuke nodded to Shinohara Yukinori in front of him and said slowly, "This matter is in the best interest of our CCG. Although we don't know who that mysterious person is, the excessive actions of those ghouls recently have clearly angered someone they shouldn't have messed with."

The CCG high-ranking officials who ordered a lack of in-depth investigation into this matter were from the Washuu clan. This ghoul organization has really gone too far this time, wantonly kidnapping so many humans, including many descendants of powerful families and conglomerates.

It seems the ghouls' outrageous actions have angered some people, and the Washuu clan, who are entangled with certain demons, are well aware of this.

The fact that an organization of ghouls protected by a lost demon was wiped out by unidentified individuals suggests that some powerful entity has intervened.

To maintain the delicate balance among ghouls, they must carefully manage their actions and avoid being targeted by the behemoth.

If they were to investigate further to find out which force was behind it, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble? Although the Hexiu clan had some power, they knew they were no match for supernatural forces that were much older than their own.

Another point is that this ghoul organization also has connections with certain human forces. They will continue to investigate and will absolutely not allow those who are kept in the dark to learn things they shouldn't know.

If Raiji himself knew about this, he would probably look rather somber. Ghouls have the confidence to look down on ordinary people, but when faced with the power of those behemoths, they are no different from small insects.

The forces operating in the shadows of this world are like a pyramid. Ghouls, a cannibalistic race, have little status or prestige and are even subordinate to humans.

There are plenty of strong humans out there, and they would easily wipe out any ghoul they encounter.

The ghouls' sense of superiority over humans can only be found in ordinary humans. But for ghouls who know part of the truth about the world, they are nothing more than bloodsucking worms that depend on humans.

If one day humanity becomes uncomfortable because they have gone too far, they could be slapped to death. Their efforts to maintain balance are also out of fear that this day will suddenly come.

However, the day that these ghouls fear has already been put on the agenda in the mind of Raize, who is currently training by playing a game.

On the other hand, while focusing on playing games to improve his skills, Lei Zhe did not forget the games he sold and the games he was going to develop next.
