My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Sure enough, in the surveillance footage, the gangster who was alone with Katsuragi suddenly became dazed, and returned to 'normal' after almost 30 minutes.

Afterwards, when the other four members of the gang entered, the gangster suddenly killed two of them unexpectedly, and then both he and the other two were seriously injured.

The other members of the National Security Bureau watched everything on the surveillance camera, remaining shocked for a long time.

······

My worldview, which I've had since childhood, has collapsed!

"How is this possible? Superpowers really exist in this world..." a National Security Bureau officer exclaimed involuntarily.

"Human thoughts can be manipulated at will..." another person said blankly.

"Have humans ever truly been free?" another person asked.

······

After watching the surveillance footage, Soshin Ouchi remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he asked Hiroyuki Imaizumi, "Did you pry open that guy named Katsuragi's mouth?"

"Yes, although he has special abilities, he is still an ordinary person. Under the National Security Bureau's constant methods, he quickly confessed everything."

"Since childhood, he has often been unable to extricate himself from strange scenes."

His outward appearance was that of a fool and an idiot. Later, he was found by an organization, whose members taught him how to control his abilities.

The person in charge of training him told him that they were pets, capable of infiltrating the human brain and manipulating memories.

Later, he also began working for the organization.

However, he was always contacted by the people who taught him; he had never met anyone else in the organization and knew nothing about it.

Furthermore, his abilities are not without weaknesses.

First of all, they are all human beings, and apart from having their memories manipulated, they are no different from ordinary people.

Secondly, they can only manipulate one person at a time, and they must be in close contact with the other person. Modifying memories takes a certain amount of time, depending on the degree of memory modification.

Finally, memory modification cannot be guaranteed to be 100% successful. If the modified memory is illogical, it will cause confusion and either make the perpetrator realize the truth or turn them into a fool.

"

"Hmm, what's the name of the person who taught him?" asked Ouchi Soma.

"Regarding this, he endured all the interrogations that weren't life-threatening, and even when he was covered in wounds and in a state worse than death, he maintained an attitude of not betraying that person." Hiroyuki Imaizumi hesitated for a moment before asking, "His loyalty to that person is clearly abnormal."

"Oh, so the person who manipulates others is also manipulated by others?" said Soma Ouchi meaningfully.

Soma Ouchi then asked, "Do you want to continue the investigation?"

“Of course. How could I miss out on something so interesting?” Hiroyuki Imaizumi said with a smile.

After listening, Soma Ouchi ordered, "On the orders of the Director of the National Security Bureau, I hereby establish a Special Operations Section, and you will be the head of the section."

"You are specifically tasked with investigating this organization. We are determined to uncover it. You are free to choose the members of your team; the National Security Bureau will do everything in its power to accommodate you. Furthermore, you can utilize all available resources within the National Security Bureau."

Then, Ouchi Soma pointed to Matsuzawa Saku beside him and said, "This is Matsuzawa Saku, my secretary for decades. He will help you with some miscellaneous tasks and communication with various organizations throughout Japan."

"Thank you, Director. I will certainly live up to your expectations," Hiroyuki Imaizumi replied, glancing at Saku Matsuzawa.

Chapter 16 Tight Security

"Mom, why is your food so bland?" Hui complained, chewing on some greens.

"Is it bland?" Misa asked hesitantly, picking up a piece of green vegetable to taste.

"Isn't it the same as before?" Misa asked definitively.

Oh no, I forgot that the original owner used to be a young girl, while I'm a rough guy who can't live without spicy food. I'm definitely not used to a young girl's bland taste. No wonder I've been eating so much lately. It's definitely my old habits from my past life.

Hui thought she had found the reason, and to dispel her mother's doubts, she said, "It must be because I got tired of the bland food in the hospital, so I wanted to change my taste."

Hearing about the hospital and thinking about what her beloved daughter had gone through, Misa's eyes began to well up with tears...

Hui felt a sense of foreboding and thought, "Mom, I'm alright now. Let bygones be bygones!"

After lunch.

Hui started changing her clothes and tidying herself up a bit. Looking at her stunning reflection in the mirror, Hui silently cheered herself on: "I'm going to do ballet today too!!!"

"Mom, there's a festival at Kyoto Shrine today, and Natsuko asked me to go with her, so I might be back a little late," Kei said to Misa, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, as she changed her shoes at the door.

"Hmm, have fun!" Misa came out of the kitchen and looked at her elegant daughter.

"By the way, did you bring enough money?"

"That's enough. I still have plenty of my old allowance."

"Okay, come home early tonight, and remember to call if anything happens!"

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

"Bon Voyage!"

Hui walked out of the house and waved to Misa.

......

Hui wandered along the streets that were many blocks away from her home. In fact, Hui had lied to Misa; she was penniless.

However, a short while later, Hui walked toward her target: a portly, wealthy man. Then, she used her abilities to get him to give her several Fukuzawa Yukichi cards.

Of course, Hui didn't want too much, nor did she intend to get rich this way, because: it's too stupid, she just wanted to die fast enough.

But taking a little change won't arouse any suspicion.

Hui felt no guilt whatsoever. After all, she had earned the money through her own abilities.

······

Chiyo Ward – a high-end villa district.

The scenery here is beautiful, the security is excellent, and it is located in the center of Tokyo. It is a ten-minute walk from places such as the National Diet Building, the Prime Minister's Official Residence, and the Imperial Palace.

Here, you might bump into someone who is a senior executive of a company, a board member, a high-ranking government official, or a bigwig in the military.

Of course, there will be no shortage of women here, and they are all beauties with outstanding looks and temperament.

Every day, all sorts of stunning beauties with different temperaments, top-notch looks, and super high education levels dream of transforming from sparrows into phoenixes.

More realistic women, however, find satisfaction even in being lovers.

My wife, Hui, is here today, but she's not here to 'become a phoenix' or be adopted.

Today, July 8th, is not only the day of the Kyoto Shrine Festival, but also the day of Kana Kujo's 16th birthday party.

Kei Gasai was very confident in her abilities. She thought to herself: with her Level 4 psychological manipulation skills...

As long as you control the people around you and have others block the cameras and cover your face, attending a small banquet is a piece of cake.

Although Hui had decided to play it safe and develop, the thought of not seeking revenge was like a thorn in her side. Moreover, Hui was very confident in Level 4's 'mental manipulation,' so she decided to go to the banquet to see if she could take care of Yasuda Eiji.

However, the cautious Hui still spent several days staking out the Kujo family's company and found an opportunity to secretly control the Kujo family's old butler for 2.5 seconds.

In those 2.5 seconds, Hui, whose brain could perform tens of millions of complex calculations per second, recorded most of the butler's memories.

Through these memories, Hui learned the details of the banquet's security arrangements.

Before and after the banquet, the streets around the Tokyo hotel were under martial law and traffic restrictions were in place, with traffic police, armed police, criminal police and a large number of plainclothes police officers everywhere.

Therefore, you can only force your way in if you are a member of the Accord.

Then there's the entire Tokyo Hotel, whose rooftop is at least the size of three basketball courts and can accommodate thousands of people at once. It's often used for state banquets and is not open to the public at other times.

Only a top-tier conglomerate like the Kujo family, with its wealth and power, could afford to book a Tokyo hotel to host a birthday party for their daughter.

The security system of the entire Tokyo hotel has been continuously improved over the decades and has long reached the point where it is theoretically impossible to hack.

First of all, there is only one entrance to the hotel—the main gate; all other exits or possible exits are guarded by a large number of personnel.

Secondly, there are the hotel's waiters, chefs, and other support staff.

They must wear a tagged monitor to record all location, image, and voice information.

This device also functions as a signal generator; when security personnel approach within 10 meters, their information will be displayed on the high-tech sunglasses they are wearing.

The central monitoring room also displays the location of each support staff member; if any location is abnormal, security guards will immediately contact you.

Furthermore, every 30 minutes, all support staff have to go to the back to refresh their login information, so even if you knock out the support staff and get the surveillance camera, it's completely useless.

The most important monitoring method is that there are 1547 cameras throughout the hotel, covering all areas except the restrooms and VIP lounges, achieving true full coverage without blind spots.

Furthermore, the monitoring room is located in the deepest room on the top floor of the hotel, and the monitoring network is an internal network that is not connected to the internet.

There are only about twenty people in the monitoring room. Can such a small number of people monitor more than 1500 cameras?

The answer is: Yes.

Because the people in the monitoring room aren't the amateurs in movies and TV shows who almost fall asleep while watching the monitor.

Rather, the elites serving in intelligence agencies such as the National Security Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau possess superhuman abilities, such as instantly memorizing the appearance of dozens of people with a glance, remembering and identifying the voices of dozens or hundreds of targets after hearing them once, multitasking, dynamic vision, and reading the target's thoughts through subtle body movements. These abilities are beyond human comprehension to ordinary people, yet they are commonplace here.

Why would these elites be willing to serve at the birthday party of a mere capitalist's daughter?

Because their pay for one night is equivalent to their salary for 10 years.

This is the power of money to the point where it's just a number!

At the same time, the government and the military have intricate connections with the Kujo family, and their superiors will allow them to leave.

Therefore, these intelligence elites don't mind earning some extra money in their spare time, and some of them even feel very regretful because they can't go due to work.

Infiltrating this banquet is theoretically impossible.

unless···

It's full of your people.

The security guards and police officers inside are all private troops raised by the Kujo family, and their loyalty is absolutely impeccable.

When Katsura Kei learned all this from the head of the Kujo family's butler, she was also taken aback.

The only way to sneak in is through the main gate.

Chiyo Ward.
