The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Sasaki Yuji's legs trembled so badly that he wished he could shrink into a ball and disappear into the ground.

Parker seemed to notice Sasaki Yuuji's somewhat reluctant expression, and said with a gloomy face:

"What? Yuji, do you no longer wish to serve the Lighthouse Empire?"

Sasaki Yuji was immediately drenched in sweat. Who could withstand such flattery right off the bat?

Sasaki Yuuji gave a smile that looked more like a grimace:

"Mr. Parker, I'll go inside and take a look."

Filled with fear, Sasaki Yuji crawled into the observation port. The further he went in, the narrower it became, and the more frightened he became.

Finally, Sasaki Yuji poked his head out from the top of the detention prison.

With his eagle eyes and night vision, he immediately saw the horrific scene inside clearly.

He could clearly see the gleaming tetanus blades laid out below, speckled with blood, and with a corpse embedded in one of them.

It's highly likely that Tamura Naoya and the others were accidentally hit when they jumped down.

Then he saw two ancestors who walked toward the weeping angels, fell on the road, their faces contorted in pain and lifeless, and three ancestors who had become weeping angels.

Sasaki Yuji immediately sensed something was wrong. After all, they were still Chosen Ones at their peak of 2400. They couldn't possibly have fallen like this from a mere fifty meters, could they?

Just then, Sasaki Yuuji's skill "Adaptive Breathing," which he had drawn but had never really used, was automatically triggered.

Sasaki Yuji felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end; he immediately realized that the air in the prison was toxic.

Baka! Who designed such a vicious prison?

The air is toxic, and highly toxic at that.

Thankfully, he has eagle eyes, night vision, and adaptive breathing; otherwise, he might have collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

The observation entrance was designed in a very insidious way; it was a downward-sloping, very smooth surface that made it difficult to grip.

Cold sweat broke out on Sasaki Yuji's forehead. The nearest weeping angel was less than two hundred meters away from him.

His predecessors, using their physical bodies as anchors, forcibly brought the weeping angel to this distance.

The weeping angel closest to him looked vaguely familiar, somewhat resembling Ouyang Tingxue, the guild leader of the End Guild.

The Weeping Angel's maximum displacement distance is only one hundred meters, and he himself maintained a safe distance, ensuring that he would not trigger the Weeping Angel's petrification rule.

Sasaki Yuji, who was afraid of death, wiggled his buttocks and crawled back like a maggot. He cherished his life and did not want to be petrified by the weeping angel.

It took Sasaki Yuji three minutes to retreat back to the observation pier.

Seeing Sasaki Yuuji return alive, Parker's face lit up with joy as he asked:

"Sasaki Yuuji, what exactly happened inside?"

Sasaki Yuji recounted everything he had seen and heard in one go.

Parker looked at Sasaki Yuuji with a grim expression:

"You mean, all your fellow cherry blossom comrades died inside? Three were seriously injured in the fall and died from the poison gas, and three were petrified and turned into petrified angels?"

A foreigner immediately rebuked:

"Yuji, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you're going to lie, at least make it believable. A mere 50 meters drop could seriously injure a peak Chosen One? Are you kidding me?"

"And even Tamura Naoya and the others know about the petrification pattern of the Weeping Angels, how could they possibly fall for it?"

"You say there's poison in the air? Our average tolerance to poison is at least ten times higher than normal, how could we possibly get poisoned? How could ordinary poison possibly knock out a Chosen One so quickly?"

"Boss! This guy must be lying. He actually only climbed halfway before he got too scared to go in, so he climbed back and made up a lie to fool us."

Parker agreed with his subordinates' analysis; the Sakura people were never reliable.

This Sasaki Tomoji must be a coward who's afraid of death; in fact, he didn't dare to climb any further after climbing halfway up.

This guy must have made up a lie to fool them.

Parker kicked Sasaki Yuuji hard in the butt, making the foreigner so angry that he even learned to swear in Japanese:

"Baka! You cowardly coward, how dare you fabricate lies to deceive us! Go back in and take a look. I want to hear the most truthful information."

Sasaki Yuji felt utterly wronged!

He clearly recounted everything he had seen and heard.

Not only did the lighthouse father not believe him, he also kicked him hard in the butt, telling him to investigate and report again!

Sasaki Tomoji had no choice but to crawl back into the observation port like a maggot, this time intending to dawdle and not do any work.

I stopped and rested halfway up the mountain.

I stayed inside for half an hour, and then climbed out again.

When Parker saw Sasaki Yuuji crawl out again, he seemed somewhat dissatisfied as to why the guy had managed to crawl out alive again.

Why didn't this guy shatter inside as he imagined?

Parker, his face grim, grabbed Sasaki Yuuji by the collar and demanded sharply:

"What exactly happened inside?"

Sasaki Yuji was terrified; his eyes darted around.

Since I'll get beaten up anyway if I tell the truth, I might as well lie!

Thinking it over, Sasaki Yuji finally told the lie he had been making up for half an hour while lying at the observation port.

But well~

Sasaki Tomoji's ability to fabricate lies is truly terrible; the lies he told were even more outrageous than what he actually saw.

As expected, Sasaki Yuji got another beating.

With his face bruised and swollen, he had no choice but to climb back into the observation port.

He lay there for another half hour, and when he came out, he repeated his improved version of the lie.

Unsurprisingly, he still failed to gain Parker's trust and was beaten up again before climbing into the ventilation shaft.

Every time he climbed in, Tomoji Sasaki would spend half an hour crafting a lie to deceive Parker.

This was repeated nine times, going in and out nine times.

Sasaki Yuji's face was swollen like a pig's head, and this time his words finally won Parker's approval.

Parker nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Not bad, this lie you made up is actually quite convincing."

The foreigner next to him scratched his head and said with a wise look in his eyes:

"Wait a minute, boss! Didn't we send Sasaki Yuuji to gather the real intelligence? We don't have time to listen to this useless idiot's lies!"

Parker was suddenly startled and kicked Sasaki Yuji like a folding screen, sending him flying.

Yes! Our goal now is to get the Crying Angel outside so we can speedrun the dungeon.

Who has the time to listen to Sasaki Tomoji's nonsense!

"The Sakura people are never reliable, looks like we'll have to rely on them! Doorkeeper, go check inside!"

"Understood, boss!" The doorman glanced at Sasaki Yuuji with the look of someone looking at trash.

The door maker used his bone-shrinking skill and plunged into the observation port without looking back, never to be heard from again.

Although Sasaki Yuji was beaten up like a pig's head, his injuries looked quite serious.

But he laughed, leaning against the wall, grinning happily.

Don't worry, seniors! I, Sasaki Tomoji, will carry on your legacy and live a good life!
