My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, during which time Sakabe Kurumi was tormented by guilt. He had succumbed to the temptation of Kyōse Ai and developed lust for her, his patient and niece.

It wasn't until six months later, when Qu Shiai ended her treatment under the pretext of focusing on her exams, that Sakabe Kuranyu finally emerged from his lustful state.

However, he still could not forgive himself for being so despicable, so he closed the original hospital in Tochigi and fled to Yamashina in Kyoto, a place where he knew no one, and never saw Kyōse Ai again.

As Qu Shi'ai grew older, her allure became more and more powerful, and those she charmed would even obey her commands to commit suicide.

Having witnessed humanity succumb to its primal desires for so long, Qu Shi'ai gradually came to regard herself as a yardstick for measuring human good and evil, and those who could easily bewitch her were sinners.

Sinners must be eliminated; this is their plan to purify the world.

However, Qu Shi'ai's abilities are not invincible.

Because her ability is not to directly control human behavior, but to evoke extreme pleasure in people's minds, if people want to continue to indulge in pleasure, they will naturally obey Qu Shi'ai's words.

Qu Shiai evokes pleasure in the human brain similar to sexual climax, reading addiction, and other primal human desires.

This is why people who are tempted, even though they still retain their own thoughts, do not resist, because every cell in their body is preventing them from resisting.

However, because it is not direct control but rather a roundabout method, Qu Shiai's ability is not unsolvable for this world.

For example, right now.

Masaki Zen is personally interrogating the suspect in the prosecutor's office interrogation room.

Masaki Zen: "Please tell me about your relationship with Mr. Anatoshi."

Qu Shiai: "Relationship?"

"Ah."

"Relationship... well... he's a friend of my grandmother's."

Have you known each other for a long time?

"No, not too long. The first time we met... was when I came to Tokyo, about two years ago."

"Did you meet regularly after that?"

"Yes. At first, he helped me find a place to stay. Later, he would occasionally take me out to eat and buy me clothes, all of which were very expensive. I always felt a little guilty about it."

Do you know why Mr. Anna is so good to you?

"why?"

"Ah."

"Why?" Qu Shiai pondered for a long time before saying uncertainly, "Perhaps, it's because I'm his friend's granddaughter...!"

Masaki Zen was furious at this answer. He took several deep breaths and repeatedly told himself to calm down, calm down, calm down...

"Phew—, let's change the subject. Is the accommodation that Analog Devices introduced to you the apartment you're currently living in?"

"Yes, Mr. Anna said it was his house, and I didn't have to pay rent when I lived there."

Why is he so good to you?

"Yes, absolutely! He's a really... good person!"

······

Several more minutes passed, and seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Masaki Zen changed the subject: "Where were you on August 22nd? What were you doing?"

“That day, Mr. Anna took me to the hot springs.”

"But Mr. Anna went back first."

"Yes, he said he had urgent work to do and needed to go back to Tokyo first."

"Have you been alone ever since he left?"

"No, Mr. Anna's friends were also at that hotel. I was with them the whole time."

"How many of these friends are there? What are their names?"

"Ah! I see, there were three old men. I remember... Mr. Ota? And Mr. Himura, I think..."

Bang!

"you!"

······

Finally, in a fit of anger, Yoshiaki slammed his fist on the table and stormed out.

Originally, Masaki Zen thought the case would end here.

All that's needed now is to obtain Qu Shiai's confession, which will allow them to convict Nomaru Ryuichiro.

However, he did not expect this woman to be so difficult to deal with.

Qu Shiai has consistently denied that her interactions with the three elderly men in their sixties involved bribing them with her body.

Even if one has sexual relations with another person, it is because of love.

Then the two began to have a long talk about love, life, what justice is...

When asked about something, he answered something else; when asked about an ox, he answered something about a horse.

Finally, Masaki Zen couldn't hold back any longer and angrily went out to report the situation to his superior, Morinaga Yasutaka.

After Masaki Zen finished his report, Morinaga Yasutaka told him to release the man.

Since the Special Investigation Department does not have the right to detain citizens, strictly speaking, Masaki Zen's act of directly bringing someone back to the Special Investigation Department for interrogation was an overreach of authority.

Left with no other option, Masaki Zen had to go back and release the person, but when he arrived at the interrogation room, he found that Hiramatsu Emiko (Ku Seiai) had already left on her own.

Only Okuyama remained, staring blankly at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

Chapter 135 Development

In the end, Masaki Zen did not get anything of value out of her.

After the interrogation, Masaki Zen was extremely exhausted.

He thought it was because he had been overworked these past few days.

In reality, Qu Shiai was trying to seduce Zheng Qishan during the interrogation.

It started with the very first sentence spoken during the interrogation.

Qu Shiai was using her abilities to try to control Zheng Qishan.

but,

When Qu Shi'ai tried to control Zheng Qishan, she unexpectedly discovered that her abilities had no effect on him at all.

Zen Seizaki's sense of justice and morality is too strong. His happiness is not the physical pleasure of sex or addiction that ordinary people experience, but rather the happiness of self-realization on a spiritual level.

To put it bluntly, the pleasure that 'upholding justice' gives Seisaki Zen is something that nothing else can match.

Well······

This was awkward for Qu Shiai.

All that enticement only strengthened the other person's resolve!

Qu Shiai had met people before who could resist their own abilities.

But they all relied on their own strong willpower to resist, and in the end, without exception, they all succumbed to the pleasure of their own bodily instincts and became slaves to their desires.

This was the first time that Kiku Seiai had encountered such an outlier as Seisaki Zen.

She never imagined that the thrill of 'practicing justice' could exist in this world, and that it was a genuine, heartfelt, and soul-deep pleasure for her.

Therefore, she developed a strong interest in Masaki Zen.

She wanted to test how far this maverick, Seisaki Zen, could go in upholding his sense of justice.

So, during the interrogation, a plan formed in her mind:

"If he cruelly kills the people he cares about, will he continue to uphold his current sense of justice, or will he be consumed by hatred and seek revenge on himself?"

······

Then, taking advantage of the lull while Masaki Zen went to report the interrogation results, Qu Shiai seduced Prosecutor Okuyama, who was also the guard and recorder, and left the prosecutor's office.

When Masasaki Zen finished reporting to Morinaga Yasutaka, he arrived at the interrogation room.

Qu Shiai has disappeared without a trace.

And the guard, Okuda, was slumped in his chair, looking dazed and with unfocused eyes.

Masasaki Zen stepped forward, shook him vigorously, and shouted, "Where did Hiramatsu go? Hey! Okuda!"

Okuda's eyes slowly focused, as if he had just come to his senses. When he saw Seisaki Zen, he slowly said, "She's gone!"

Upon hearing this, Seisaki Zenichi, clinging to a one in ten thousand chance that Hiramatsu hadn't gone far, sprinted out of the prosecutor's office like a hundred-meter dash.

Saki Zen, sweating profusely from strenuous exercise, gasped for breath, "Huff—ha—..."

Looking around on the sidewalk outside the prosecutor's office, I couldn't see Hiramatsu anywhere.

"Damn it—!" Masaki Zen could only look up and roar in frustration.

Qu Shi'ai has long since disappeared.

-------------------------------------

Four more days passed, and it arrived at August 18th.

Location: Royal Conference Room, Prosecutor's Office.

Masaki Zen was about to report his findings to everyone at the meeting.

However, unexpectedly, Ryuichiro Nomaru himself appeared at the meeting.

However, no one present at the meeting was surprised.

Only Zen Masaki was unaware of this.

Suppressing his anger, Masaki Zen continued his report.
