The process of becoming a messenger of calamity was exceptionally smooth, as if this position was tailor-made for Luo Tian.

After successfully changing jobs, a large amount of information flooded into Luo Tian's mind, the most important of which was his newly acquired ability.

The previous wind element manipulation, combat intuition, and subconscious manipulation have all been integrated into the core ability "Calamity".

The manipulation of wind elements falls under the category of Calamity bestowed, while combat intuition and subconscious manipulation fall under the category of Calamity perception.

As a messenger of calamity, Luo Tian possesses three core abilities: bestowing calamity, perceiving calamity, and absorbing calamity.

Granting abilities is the most intuitive way to inflict them. You can randomly inflict natural disasters such as lightning strikes, burning, wind cutting, and ice and snow on a target, or simply inflict misfortune, causing the target's actions to be constantly thwarted.

The perception ability is similar to the previous intuition, but more acute, allowing for a clear awareness of impending disasters for oneself or those around them, and the ability to avoid them in advance.

Luo Tian prefers to call the absorption ability damage transfer.

He can absorb misfortune and harm from himself or others, store it in his body, and then transfer it to his enemies by bestowing abilities upon them.

This move is a life-saving technique for Luo Tian. As long as the attack does not exceed his tolerance limit, it can be absorbed and returned.

More importantly, the Messenger of Calamity is extremely sensitive to danger. If someone tries to harm him, he can immediately detect it within a certain range and even predict the other party's attack method in advance.

"No wonder my intuition told me that the Calamity Bringer was the best fit for me. This class, with its top-notch survival abilities and ability to launch surprise attacks, is just my type."

Luo Tian muttered to himself as he ran his hand over the mineral water bottle that had been sliced ​​open by the wind blades.

A slight feeling of emptiness passed by, and the broken bottle was instantly restored to its original state.

He placed the intact bottle on the table, and apart from the water stains on the floor, no one knew what had just happened.

At this moment, Luo Tian realized that the "Wind Blade Cutting" calamity stored in his body brought a slight mental burden, which was completely within his tolerance range.

"It turns out that the calamity bestowed is not completely random; as long as the corresponding calamity has been stored, it can be released at will."

Luo Tian shook his head and turned his gaze to Mu Geng on the hospital bed.

After becoming a Bane of Calamity, he gained a global perspective that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, allowing him to clearly see the calamities on others and take advantage of them.

At that moment, he clearly saw that Mugeng was afflicted with three calamities.

The first wound was on her chest, pierced by the sealing blade. After the seal was broken, her body, which had not eaten for a long time, was unable to heal quickly.

The second spot, covering her entire body, was from the sedatives injected by Luo Tian and the SDS medical staff, which was also the reason she had been in a deep sleep.

The third issue is moderate malnutrition caused by being sealed away for a long time.

The exact duration of Kisara's imprisonment is unknown, but the stone armor she wore, which covered her from her neck to her knees, is enough to indicate that she was imprisoned for an extremely long time.

Despite not eating or drinking for many years, she only suffered from moderate malnutrition, which is enough to prove that her demonic bloodline is extremely powerful.

After seeing the calamities on Mu Geng's body, Luo Tian, ​​who had just gained new abilities, was filled with excitement and decided to help her absorb these calamities.

He reached out and grasped Kisaragi's slender little hand.

Misfortune can be bestowed through sight and mental perception, but absorption requires physical contact.

This flaw cannot be remedied in the short term, nor can it be perfected by the current calamity messengers.

In a short moment, Luo Tian absorbed all the sedatives, the wound on Kisei's chest, and his malnutrition.

With the three calamities gone, Mu Geng's body temporarily recovered, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

At the same time, Luo Tian felt his body become slightly heavy, as if he had put on an extra thick cotton coat.

He immediately released his grip, ready to retaliate against any misfortune.

Just as Luo Tian was on guard, Mu Geng slowly opened his eyes, blinked his pair of vermilion eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling, and looked numb and dazed.

Luo Tian coughed lightly, trying to get her attention.

Upon hearing the sound, Kisara slowly turned his head and looked at Luo Tian.

The moment she saw Luo Tian, ​​her empty eyes regained their clear light for the first time.

She opened her mouth and made a clear, melodious sound, but it was just a meaningless shout.

Luo Tian, ​​who had been expecting her to speak, froze instantly: "Can't you speak?"

Kisara tilted his head, looking completely bewildered.

"This is a bit troublesome... No, there's another way."

Luo Tian stroked his chin, closed his eyes, and then opened them again. The transparent brown book appeared in his palm, which was the fragment of knowledge power.

He grasped Mugeng's hand again, and Mugeng did not resist, but instead gripped it tightly in return.

Luo Tian was almost startled by her actions. He subconsciously wanted to resist the calamity, but he glanced helplessly at Mu Geng. Then, with the power of the fragments of knowledge and power, he extracted basic common sense and prepared to instill it into her.

The influx of common sense into consciousness is itself a burden, which happens to meet the conditions for the activation of calamity abilities.

Luo Tian opened his eyes, met Mu Geng's gaze, and inflicted the calamity called "Common Sense" upon Mu Geng.

In an instant, Mu Geng's eyes lost focus again, fully absorbing the common sense that Luo Tian was imparting.

Demons have different constitutions than humans, so she can easily withstand this level of hardship.

After a few minutes of eye contact, Kisara closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were much more lively, as if they could speak.

Her eyes reflected Luo Tian's image as she uttered her first complete sentence in a clear voice.

"...Are you my master?"

"No, can I become your follower?"

Luo Tian's expression froze again, and he thought to himself: Did I just implant something strange? I really hope this doesn't happen!

---

"Can I become your follower?"

The girl, with her childlike face and exceptionally cute appearance, repeated the sentence earnestly once again, gazing at Luo Tian with her watery eyes.

Luo Tian took a few deep breaths and slowly said, "Okay."

"Also, this matter should only be known to you and me, and not to a third person, understand?"

In the end, Luo Tian couldn't suppress the little thoughts in his heart.

Perhaps this is why he mixes in this kind of content when imparting knowledge.

"So, I actually had such thoughts in my mind?" Luo Tian couldn't help but doubt himself.

Upon hearing Luo Tian's agreement, Mu Geng immediately revealed a bright smile.

Seeing her happy expression, Luo Tian, ​​who had been preoccupied, sighed, put one hand on his hip, and said helplessly, "She's actually this happy..."

He shook his head, then asked, "Do you remember your name?"

"Kisara?" Kisara propped himself up from the hospital bed and tilted his head to look at Luo Tian.

"In other words, apart from the name I taught you, you have no memory of any other real name."

Although Luo Tian was curious about Mu Geng's origins, he had no clues. The only person who knew about her, Isaha, had already been dealt with, and very few people knew about her background.

"However, from another perspective, the fact that no one knows your past, not even yourself, might be a good thing."

Luo Tian hadn't forgotten that Lux had even proposed a collaboration with him to establish an SDS branch in Tokyo in order to accommodate Kisaragi.

He certainly wouldn't accept such a large upfront investment if it were snatched away by an outsider.

Therefore, while only their own people know about it, they should hide Kisaragi's demonic identity and adopt a new one to avoid most of the trouble.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian looked at Mu Geng and found that the black aura of calamity emanating from her body had faded considerably.

"Is it because the misfortunes have decreased? Because I want to help her hide her identity? Even without taking any actual action, just having this thought will reduce the misfortunes she encounters? It's kind of like the law of cause and effect."

"But to be honest, the Calamity Messenger class is actually quite useful."

Having gained a deeper understanding of the job placement service, Luo Tian looked at Kisaragi and asked, "Can you stand up now?"

"Okay, sure." Kisara shifted on the bed, then gently jumped off, stepping barefoot onto the floor.

Luo Tian frowned and said, "Wait a moment."

He walked to the door and saw several pairs of dark green Crocs next to him. He picked up a pair and walked up to Mugen: "Put these on. If I take you out barefoot, people will think I'm bullying you."

Kisara looked up at Luo Tian, ​​then lowered her head and carefully put her smooth little feet into her shoes.

After putting on both shoes, her eyes lit up, she exclaimed in surprise, and spun around in circles, making the shoes creak.

"It's just wearing a pair of shoes..."

Seeing the girl's lively demeanor, Luo Tian felt much more at ease.

He looked at the stone "clothes" on Kisara's body and asked, "Can you take this off?"

Kisara paused for a moment, then raised his hand to his collarbone, grabbed the stone edge, and tore it apart forcefully.

With a few loud crashes, stones shattered and fell to the ground.

Luo Tian calmly looked her over for a while, then picked up a hospital gown from the side and handed it to her: "Change into this. Besides, you're quite good-looking."

Kisara blinked and took the blue and white striped hospital gown from Luo Tian's hand.

After Mu changed into a clean hospital gown, Luo Tian turned around and said to her, "Come with me. If you want to stay by my side from now on, you definitely can't do it without telling Lux in advance."

To put it bluntly, if you want to keep Mokusou's demon identity a secret from others, you need Lux's help; otherwise, a bunch of unnecessary troubles will definitely arise.

Luo Tian has always been a reliable person and hates getting entangled in extra trivial matters.

Just thinking about Lux made Luo Tian think of Kisara, and the scene he had just seen flashed through his mind again. A thought inexplicably popped into his head: Lux's figure seemed to be even more outstanding than Kisara's.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian paused for a moment, but quickly resumed his normal pace, pretending that he hadn't thought of anything, and continued to lead Mu Geng out of the cabin.

As the two walked down the corridor, the medical staff on duty saw Luo Tian leading a patient out without permission and all looked surprised. Just as they were about to step forward to stop him, they saw Luo Tian put his index finger to his lips and make a shushing gesture.

Considering that Luo Tian was a frontline worker, the medical staff eventually stepped aside to make way for the two of them to pass smoothly.

Kisara, who was following behind, bowed slightly to them and said softly, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you all."

This series of actions left all the medical staff present completely shocked and baffled.

Before long, Luo Tian led Mu Geng to the staircase leading to the deck.

As soon as Luo Tian stepped onto the deck, he heard the undisguised sound of bullets being chambered by the operatives all around him.

A faint sense of oppression washed over me.

Luo Tian immediately lowered his raised foot, looked down at the twelve infrared beams aimed at his chest, then looked up at the fully armed operatives in front of him, whose sharp eyes were the only visible part of their faces. He said with a blank expression, "I know there is some risk in bringing Kisara here, but... aren't you aiming at the wrong person?"

Having absorbed Luo Tian's memories, Kisara had a basic understanding of the current situation and nodded seriously.

But she was also very confused. She was clearly the one who could threaten everyone present, so why did all the operatives seem to be targeting Luo Tian? Who was the real danger here?

---

The moment the infrared beam locked onto Luo Tian's chest, a soft female voice came over: "Please put down your weapons, everyone. I asked Luo Tian to bring Miss Kisara here."

Upon hearing this, the previously wary team members did not hesitate at all and immediately turned their guns away from Luo Tian.

However, during their movement, they subtly adjusted their positions, silently surrounding Luo Tian and Mu Geng in the middle, separating them from Lux.

Seeing this, Luo Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, sensed the aura of calamity surrounding him, and instantly showed a look of understanding on his face.

It turned out that he had brought the demon onto the deck without prior notice, which is why he was considered a suspicious person.

This mistake should never have happened to him, and this accident made Luo Tian more vigilant.

Is it because Lux is usually too easygoing that she feels she doesn't need to explain things in advance?

Just as Luo Tian was about to reflect on his own problems, Lux on the deck spoke up, "Luo Tian-kun, could you please bring Ms. Kisara over here?"

Luo Tian raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lux with a strange expression. Did this woman really think that Kisara, this demon, posed no threat to her? Despite his inner grumbling, Luo Tian still led Kisara to Lux.

"Hey buddy, next time before you go on a mission, can't you at least send a message first?"

Leaning against the deck railing, Tachibana Kiss glanced at Luo Tian and said irritably, "Lux is a key figure in our SDS. If anything happens to her, not only will you be held at gunpoint, but even I will be dealt with by these elders who are protecting her. You have to know your limits when you act recklessly."

"Protecting her elders?" Upon hearing this description, Luo Tian glanced subtly at the surrounding guards.

Lux also showed a helpless expression because of Tachibana Kirika's words: "I'm sorry, the members of the First Action Team are all my father's generation of relatives and friends who watched me grow up, so they are always particularly nervous when it comes to things involving me."

So these were the elders he had watched grow up. Luo Tian instantly understood what those glares, which seemed to want to kill him, meant, and he also understood what Tachibana Kirika meant by "the elders who protected her."

So, in their eyes, I am a bad element who abducted their younger generation. No wonder I am so hostile.

Luo Tian silently complained in his heart, but said sincerely, "No need to apologize. It was my fault for not considering things carefully and not informing everyone in advance."

To be fair, having these elders looking after Lux is actually a good thing.

After all, even someone like herself is guarded against, so it must be even more difficult for others to get close to her. In a way, this is actually a guarantee of safety.

"So you do know it's your own fault!" Tachibana Kirika retorted, then looked at Kisaragi, who was closely following behind Luo Tian, ​​and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. "Speaking of which, according to the report, this devil girl should have been unconscious for at least five hours. I didn't expect her to wake up so quickly. It's really strange."

As she spoke, Tachibana glanced sideways at Lux, then looked at Luo Tian: "Did the potion developed at headquarters fail, or did you secretly tamper with it?"

"This involves my unique special ability, so I'm sorry I can't go into details," Luo Tian said with a smile to Tachibana Kirika, while glancing at Lux secretly, and added, "I can only say that as long as it's not an instantaneous fatal injury, my ability can completely eliminate it."

"So if you encounter any accidents, as long as you do your best to save your lives, you can come to me afterwards and you will be safe."

After Luo Tian finished speaking, the way the security personnel looked at him changed noticeably.

No one present was stupid; they instantly understood the weight of those words and how important this ability was.

If Luo Tian was a bad element they were wary of before, now he is a key figure who can save lives in critical moments.

Honestly, this ability can only be truly utilized when you're near Lux.

Having figured this out, the expressions of the twelve members of the First Action Team became very conflicted.

So the person they desperately want to get rid of is actually the one most suitable to stay by their little princess's side? Does that mean they'll have to watch this guy hanging around in front of the little princess every day? Just thinking about that kind of life is unbearable.

Compared to the conflicted team members, Tachibana Kirika saw things very clearly, though she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed: "You actually have this ability? Why didn't you mention it at all before?"

"It wasn't revealed before, it's only being activated now." Luo Tian said the truth with a straight face, but these words only made Tachibana Kiri even more suspicious.

"You brat, are you doing this on purpose?" Tachibana Kirigaya glared at Luo Tian with displeasure. "You hide your abilities from me, but you desperately try to show off your usefulness in front of Lux. Am I not treating you well enough, or am I not as young and pretty as her?"

Lux, who was praised for being young and beautiful, remained calm, as if she was already used to such compliments. However, seeing her friend's depressed expression, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Luo Tian did not answer directly, but simply glanced at Tachibana Misty Flower with a calm look.

Seeing that look in his eyes, Tachibana Kirika became even angrier. So that's really what this kid was thinking?

"Hey, stop looking at me like that, just say something!"

"I'm sorry, Manager, no, Ms. Tachibana, I don't think I'm your subordinate anymore."

"You! You think you're all grown up now? Believe me, once this pink-haired girl leaves, I'll trip you up!"

"No need to bother, I'll call Chizuka and Takina right now and ask if they'd like to switch departments."

"You're good!"

"You two stop bickering," Lux said helplessly as she watched the two of them arguing.

Just then, she felt a curious gaze, turned her head, and met Kisara's eyes.

Seeing Kisara's appearance, Lux asked gently, "Are you feeling alright?"

"Hmm." Kisara lowered his head somewhat shyly, looking very bashful.

"That's good." Lux breathed a sigh of relief. "I was really worried about you before, but now it seems I was overthinking it."

Because of the frequent activities of Truth Astronomy, coupled with the embellishment of various works, demons have always had a very bad reputation in this world.

Lux was initially worried that Mu was an extremely dangerous type, but after seeing Mu's clear eyes, her concerns completely disappeared.

"Luo Tianjun, as we agreed before, after the routine check-up, this child will be in your care. Can you take good care of her?"

Luo Tian immediately turned to Lux: "Although I don't have much experience taking care of others, I will definitely keep a close eye on Kisara. However, I need your help with hiding my identity."

"Identity..." Lux instantly understood, and looked around at everyone present. "Don't worry, those who know about Kisara's situation will keep it strictly confidential, and I will also help her arrange a reasonable identity."

At this point, Lux looked gently at Kisaragi: "Kisaragi, may I call you that?"

Kisara nodded slightly, quietly watching Lux.

"In that case, Kisara, what are your thoughts on your identity? Since you'll be living with Luo Tianjun from now on, I suggest you use a relative identity like 'sister'..."

"wife!"

Kisara suddenly spoke up, the first time she had ever spoken to Lux on her own initiative: "I want to be Luo Tian's wife!"

"If my wife can't do it, I'll be a puppy."

After saying this, Luo Tian felt the strange looks from Lux and Tachibana Kirika, and for the first time, he experienced what it meant to be instantly humiliated.

---

"We must raise her to be an ordinary girl."

Recalling Lux's earnest advice before leaving, Luo Tian felt his cheeks twitching.

Sitting in the front of the speedboat, Kisara saw Luo Tian's appearance and asked worriedly, "Luo Tian, ​​are you feeling unwell?"

Ju Wuxiang, who was driving the speedboat, still couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Little girl, I advise you not to ask too many questions."

The more questions you ask, the more upset this guy becomes.

"Stop teasing me." Luo Tian glared at Tachibana Mizuki with annoyance, then turned to look at Kisaragi, whose face was full of worry, and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little irritable."

"Oh..." Kisaragi's face was still full of worry, but Luo Tian said not to worry, so she had no choice but to look away, not wanting to make things more difficult for Luo Tian.

Seeing Mu Geng's obedient appearance, Luo Tian felt even more helpless.

He couldn't very well blame this little girl who had been instilled with strange beliefs and was essentially a victim, could he? But his reputation... Luo Tian could already imagine how Jinmu Qian Shu and the others would look at him with mocking eyes afterward.

At that moment, Tachibana Misaki, who was driving the speedboat, looked at the searchlights on the riverbank under the night sky and said without turning her head, "Don't be depressed, we still have work to do."

Luo Tian, ​​leaning back in his chair, didn't even look up: "I need to take some time off."

"How long do you want to take leave?" Tachibana Kirika asked curiously.

Luo Tian, ​​leaning back in his chair, didn't even look up: "I need to take some time off."

"How long do you want to take leave?" Tachibana Kirika asked curiously.

Luo Tian said weakly, "Until my own branch is built."

"Don't be ridiculous." Kijiri Kaori laughed and scolded, mooring the speedboat at the makeshift dock, standing up and saying, "Don't forget you haven't done what you promised me."

"What's up?" Luo Tian lazily raised his eyebrows. "Besides the post-event celebrations and my departmental transfer, there shouldn't be anything else, right? Do I really need to get involved in the cleanup work for the Chiba Prefecture lockdown?"

"What are you thinking about?" Tachibana Kirika jumped onto the temporary pier and reached out to pull Kisara up, but found that Kisara easily jumped on by himself.

She shrugged helplessly and said to Luo Tian, ​​"Have you forgotten about that congressman's family we met before?"

"Oh, Yukinoshita family." Luo Tian replied in a flat tone, "It's about winning over Yukinoshita family. I thought that after I was transferred to another department, you wouldn't let me do this anymore."

"What are you thinking?" Tachibana Kirika rolled her eyes, waved at Mika holding the car headlights on the pebble beach by the river, and said irritably, "Do you think I'd let a newbie who doesn't know anything join the SDS front-line operations team?"

"I don't want to see any of my men lying dead in front of me."

Luo Tian looked at Tachibana Misty Flower with a calm gaze: "If a newcomer who doesn't know anything can't go to the front line, then what was I back then?"

He knew nothing back then, but was recruited by Tachibana Kirika and directly promoted to the front line.

So she knew perfectly well that what she was doing was wrong, yet she still harmed herself?
