Knight: A Life of Collecting Attributes Starting as a Vampire

Page 102

Cangya picked her up and, amidst her gasp, the bedroom lights automatically turned off and soothing music automatically turned on.

……

[Latest report: Several people have recently gone missing in Tokyo, with disappearances mostly occurring in subways, buses, and nightclubs. Police are conducting a full investigation.]

"They're really bold; they couldn't even cover it up from the AI Group."

Cangya, who had already gotten up, immediately knew who was behind it after hearing the news on TV.

Sawada Aki.

In Faiz, this guy is the one that Cangya despises the most.

Everyone else has some merits, more or less.

Take Masato Kusaka for example. Although he is a psychopath, he is still worthy of recognition as a human warrior.

And then there's Murakami. Although he's a villain, his loyalty to the Orphnochs is commendable; he's willing to give his life for the Orphnoch King.

Sawada Aki is different; he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

The first thing this guy did after becoming an Orphnoch was to break away from humanity to prove himself, and to massacre humans on a large scale.

This wasn't a normal outburst of Orphnoch's control; it was something he did with a perfectly clear mind, much like some religious initiation ceremonies in certain countries, where people prove themselves through murder.

The ultimate goal of this ceremony was Sonoda Mari, because Sonoda Mari had helped him when he was a child, and he also liked Sonoda Mari very much.

In order to completely let go of the past, the only way is to kill the person you love and say goodbye to the past forever.

For an Orphnoch, this is actually quite normal; at most, he's a radical, and to humans, he's at best a beast.

The problem is that this guy later regretted it after actually killing Truth.

She only regretted killing people; if it weren't for the AI group's resurrection technology, the female protagonist would have really been dead.

Regretting her actions, Sawada Aki betrayed Murakami again, handing the Delta Belt over to Inui Takumi and the others.

His repeated back-and-forth behavior thoroughly offended Murakami and Masato Soga, and both were after him, ultimately leading to his tragic end.

This guy lived a life that was a joke from beginning to end, and he doesn't deserve any sympathy.

"Isn't the AI Group going to do anything about this?"

As she watched the news, Yuka frowned. Although she had killed people before, she disliked the indiscriminate killing of innocents.

“They would care about any other Orphnoch, but not this one.”

Cangya shook his head.

"why?"

"I can't believe it!" Nagata Yuka asked in surprise.

"He is special. He is the first Orphino to awaken by the Orphino factor, and he has very high research value."

It's not surprising that Cangya explained the reason.

If they can figure out Sawada Aki's condition, it will undoubtedly be a new beginning for Orphnoch.

There's no need to constantly hunt humans to increase companions anymore; all that's needed is to inject the Orphino factor, which can be used even on the dead.

This is already worth observing. If the success rate of the Orphnoch factor is further increased, the Orphnoch's complete control of the world will no longer be just a hope.

"But we don't need to worry about him, he won't live much longer."

Cangya then lost interest in the guy.

As the first artificial Orphnoch, Aki Sawada was not perfect and had various flaws.

And with such reckless use of the Orphnoch power, the life energy in this guy's body is rapidly dissipating, and he will soon be completely gone.

What awaited him was physical collapse, turning into sand.

This is the fate of the experimental subject, though he himself is unaware of it.

Chapter 111: In the business world, enemies meet on a narrow road.

the other side.

Lucky Four-Leaf Clover Bar.

A battle is taking place here right now.

"Crack!"

With a sharp crack, a gray-white figure crashed into the wall, instantly leaving cracks all over the bar's surface.

Opposite the figure was Long Aofino, the one who had just made the move.

"Can't you guys go outside to fight?"

Saeko Kageyama watched this scene helplessly.

Before things had even calmed down for long, another problem child appeared.

The figure that was knocked away was the newly arrived spider, Orphnoch, Sawada Aki.

Saeko Kageyama was initially quite interested in this new little brother, but she lost interest after seeing his cold and crazy demeanor.

Another one just like Kitasaki.

Compared to Mr. Cangya, he is far inferior.

"Mr. Cangya~"

Saeko Kageyama's face suddenly flushed, then returned to an unusual calm.

At that moment, Kitasaki came to stand in front of Sawada Aki.

"You're very good."

You could tell from his tone that Kitasaki was in a good mood.

He had suffered repeated setbacks at Cangya's hands, but now he had finally regained some confidence in front of the newcomers.

Sure enough, bullying others makes you feel good.

I was such an idiot before. Why did I rush up to be bullied by others?

"Humph!"

Sawada Aki stood up from the ground. Although her whole body ached, she still looked at Kitasaki with a blank expression and an unyielding spirit.

"They look so alike."

Kitasaki looked at Sawada Aki with a complicated expression.

At this moment, Sawada Aki's appearance was exactly the same as when she faced Cangya.

Only by experiencing it again can one realize just how stupid one was back then; it's almost like being publicly executed.

"never mind."

Kitasaki suddenly felt a bit bored and lost his spirit.

He glanced at Sawada Aki, then lazily turned and left the bar.

"It seems that Kitasaki has lost all his spirit after being beaten by Mr. Cangya."

Takuma, who was standing to the side, realized what was going on. If it were the old Kitasaki, he would never have left so easily.

"This is a good thing; it looks much better than before."

Saeko Kageyama said indifferently.

Sawada Aki glanced at the two of them, then turned and left without saying a word.

"President Murakami asked me to pass on a message to you: You're doing very well. Continue to complete your test, and the Brainpower Group will clear the obstacles for you."

Saeko Kageyama called out to Aki Sawada.

"I see."

Sawada Aki paused for a moment, then answered and left the bar.

"What a cold-blooded kid. Why do you think President Murakami lets him get away with this?"

Zhuomo watched his departing figure and couldn't help but ask.

“We let him go because that’s all the value he has left. Look at the ground.”

Saeko Kageyama smiled mysteriously and pointed to the ground.

A small clump of fine sand had appeared where Sawada Aki had originally stood.

"I see."

After pondering it, I suddenly realized.

Sawada Aki appears to be highly valued, but that's not actually the case.

The people who are truly valued and promoted in the Orphino group are people like them; they are the elite among the elite.
