Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Okay!" Nishimura couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"It's not that easy."

Shirou paused, then suddenly asked the captain of the arrest team beside him:

Is there a water source on the mountain?

"Yes, the water source in the mountain comes from a river. Oh, and there's also a cliff by the sea over there."

Fall?

Upon hearing this, the captain's expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself:

“His goal has always been very clear. A person like that would never seek his own death, so he kept running upwards, definitely intending to jump off the cliff.”

Unlike humans, he is an immortal demi-human, and cliffs that would be fatal to humans are nothing to him.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his walkie-talkie and contacted his subordinates in the mountains:

"Kei Nagai's target might be the cliff. He wants to send a group of people to ambush the cliff immediately."

Soon after, Kei Nagai was cornered at the edge of a cliff.

Looking at the dark holes of the tranquilizer guns around him, and the soldiers surrounding him in several layers, he fell silent.

What exactly are demi-humans? Why are they being hunted down? And with this kind of force?

The next moment, the soldiers suddenly moved left and right, creating a narrow path just wide enough for one person, and a young man in a white coat appeared in front of him.

Beside the young man was another young man dressed in casual clothes.

After just one glance, Kei Nagai could no longer take his eyes off the young man in the white coat.

'Who exactly is this guy? Why is my body trembling uncontrollably?'

Watching the tranquilizer dart about to be launched, and the two young men whispering amongst themselves, Kei Nagai couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly do you want? Why are you relentlessly pursuing me?"

"Because your value is extremely high. As for the reason, you should be able to figure it out with your intelligence."

After speaking, Shirou fell silent.

Is that really the case?

Kei Nagai's brows furrowed involuntarily. After school that afternoon, he miraculously came back to life in front of everyone.

At that moment, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

So he began to flee desperately when no one was chasing him and nothing was happening.

Looking back now, I think I did the right thing by running in the afternoon. The only mistake was that I didn't run far enough and ended up getting stuck in traffic.

"How do you plan to use me?"

"Are you sure you want to ask? It's almost like being a guinea pig."

"Is there no room for negotiation? For example, if I fully cooperate with you, could we just have blood drawn without any surgery?"

Upon hearing his words, Nishimura was immediately moved and unconsciously looked at Shirou.

With the experimental materials fully cooperating, this will save a lot of trouble.

In that case, reducing some of the tests that make him feel uncomfortable doesn't seem like a problem.

If he could make the decision, he would probably agree immediately.

"Impossible. The value of a demi-human is far beyond your imagination. Just cooperating fully is not enough to make someone give up the chance to use their sword." Shirou shook his head slightly and refused.

"I see."

Kei Nagai seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that these immortal beings, the demi-humans, were being treated as strategic resources.

That's true. Even I can think of more than ten ways to use demi-humans in an instant.

Upon noticing the tranquilizer gun's muzzle rise again, Kei Nagai disregarded everything else and quickly said:

“I am willing to be the bait to provide you with more demi-humans.”

"Oh...? What are you planning to do?" Shirou asked curiously.

“Demi-humans can summon a black phantom, something that only demi-humans can clearly see.”

Kei Nagai paused for a moment, then continued:

"If I post a video online, in which I say something about recruiting friends, and at the same time, a black phantom transmits a message that only demi-humans can see from behind."

"In that case, quite a few interested demi-humans should go to the gathering place."

"At that time, as long as I release the black phantom to prove my identity, many demi-humans will definitely release their phantoms at the same time."

"After that, I will find a way to gather them all together and look for an opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"Interesting." Shirou couldn't help but smile.

If done properly, this can indeed yield quite a few demi-humans.

"Wait a moment, let me call and ask for advice from above."

The call was quickly connected.

"Teacher Nagano, Ajin Nagai Kei has offered to cooperate with us, and he's also proposed an interesting plan..."

After listening to the end, Nagano paused for a few seconds before slowly speaking:

“Tell him that this is not enough.”

"it is good."

Shirou, still on the phone, turned to Kei Nagai and said, word by word:

"Not enough, do you have any more chips?"

Kei Nagai frowned. Wasn't this enough? Was the value of Ajin (demi-humans) a little too high?

Immortality is certainly appealing, but is it really necessary to go this far?

After pondering for a few seconds with his head down, he spoke again:

"Besides assisting in experiments and acting as bait to capture other demi-humans, I can also..."

The conversation abruptly ended there.

Because he realized that he seemed to have nothing left to offer in exchange.

Think of something quickly! If you do nothing, you'll probably spend the rest of your life on the lab bench.

“I can also assist you in battle! Ghosts are very powerful and invisible; ordinary people can't see them at all. They are very useful for capturing other demi-humans, gathering intelligence, or assassinating someone.”

At that moment, Nagano's voice came through the phone:

"Let's see what this so-called ghost is all about, and see what his supposed combat abilities are really like. After that, we'll decide how to treat you."

"understand!"

Kei Nagai's expression gradually became serious. Since the Ghost's combat strength determined his future treatment, he had to go all out!

There are many kinds of experiments. Drawing blood or testing new drugs are fine, but you absolutely cannot let someone put you on the lab table and do whatever they want.

"Ah..."

With a roar, a black phantom instantly materialized and stood motionless in place.

Damn it! I almost forgot, this guy is completely unruly.

Damn it! Get moving! This is a life-or-death situation, get moving now!

Perhaps it was a strong prayer that was conveyed to the ghost, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, but the black ghost suddenly started to move, pounding the ground with its fists, creating one deep pit after another.

Don't hit the ground, hit people instead!

"How is it, Hasegawa?" Nagano's voice came through the phone again.

"It's alright, but it seems that because he has just become a demi-human, he is not yet proficient in controlling ghosts."

"It sounds pretty good."

"So, Mr. Nagano, should we say yes?"

"You decide. I trust and support your judgment."

"Thank you so much."

Shirou thanked him softly, then looked at the anxious-looking Nagai Kei and said in a deep voice:

"We agree to your conditions. Don't forget what you said."

Kei Nagai unconsciously let out a long sigh of relief. He had succeeded; he had finally escaped a disaster.

Chapter 225 This symptom is actually quite common

Chapter 225, Section 226: This symptom is actually quite common.

It was past midnight when Shiro Hasegawa returned home.

Hearing a noise coming from a room in the corner, Shirou went over to take a look and found Kodaka Hasegawa tidying up the room.

"Still awake, little eagle?"

"Still tidying up the room, did your older brother just get back?"

"Hmm. It seems like school isn't on holiday right now, is it? This place is quite far from home, what are your school's schedules like?"

"I will be transferring to the high school and junior high school of a nearby academy. My dad said that the chairman of the board there is a good friend of his."

"I see. Do I need to go with you when you transfer schools?"

“I don’t need to,” Kodaka Hasegawa paused for a moment and suggested, “Kobato is quite young, so she might need her older brother to take her there.”

"Okay, when do you plan to go to school?"

"How about the day after tomorrow? Tomorrow I plan to go to the mall to get the missing household items. Also, it seems my older brother doesn't have any kitchenware, so we need to buy a set too."

"Because of work, I'm always a bento box enthusiast, so the kitchen has been empty. As for the day after tomorrow, no problem, I'll find a way to free up some time."

"Thank you, Kobato will be very happy. Speaking of which, when I saw that pile of bento boxes in the refrigerator, I knew it might be something like that, and it turns out it was.
