My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Until, utterly lost!

"Hmm? Oh, I see... So this is the root of your desires. Interesting!"

Qu Shiai watched as Kouta struggled incessantly.

'I can't say for sure about my own abilities.' Qu Shiai has always known this.

Qu Shiai knew that her ability was to amplify the desires in the human heart to an infinite degree.

However, if someone's heart is already filled with something else, then their abilities will become ineffective or greatly diminished.

However, from childhood to adulthood, Qu Shiai has never encountered anyone to whom her abilities are ineffective, because everyone has desires.

Previously, I encountered Seisaki Zen, a person whose heart was filled with a sense of justice to the point that he could disregard his own abilities.

And now,

He met another man whose heart was filled with another woman, but unfortunately, the object of his lust was the woman who occupied his heart.

Sure enough, Kouta quickly succumbed to the quagmire of desire and became its slave.

"Do you want more, more happiness?" Qu Shiai continued to tempt her.

"Hui, I want more, I want to be happier!..." Kouta said, his face filled with infatuation.

"If you want to, go to the end of this avenue and jump off from that rooftop garden. You'll get even more happiness if you jump!"

"Rooftop garden...more fun...I want it, I want it!" Kouta muttered to himself as he hailed a taxi and drove towards the rooftop garden of the hall, quickly disappearing from Qu Shiai's sight.

"Alright, let's make a few more to round up to sixty." Qu Shiai smiled wickedly and continued walking slowly towards the hall, preparing to seduce a few more 'suicide victims' along the way.

Hui was still signing autographs for fans. Some fans asked for a photo after getting their autographs, so she slowed down again. It wasn't until all the fans had finished getting their autographs that Hui realized what was happening.

"Where's Kouta? Where did he go?"

As she spoke, Hui took out her phone and made a call.

Beep beep... Beep beep...

"Sorry, the number you dialed does not answer..."

"No one answered." Hui listened to the notification tone on her phone, then dialed again, unwilling to give up.

Beep beep... Beep beep...

"continue."

Beep beep... Beep beep...

······

After making twenty phone calls, Hui gave up.

"Is the phone dead, or is he deliberately ignoring my calls! How awful! Humph, he can sleep on the floor by himself tonight!" Hui said angrily, preparing to give Geng Tai a piece of her mind when he returned.

However, after waiting and waiting, no one appeared.

As time went by, Hui gradually began to consider another possibility.

A month of peaceful life, coupled with the excellent public security in Japan, led Hui to believe that the world was safe and peaceful, without any conflicts or accidents.

So when Kouta didn't come back, Kei just assumed that Kouta was delayed by something, such as meeting an old friend or helping a stranger.

Hui didn't even consider the possibility of an accident. On the one hand, it was a peaceful era, and on the other hand, she didn't hear any gunshots, sirens, or ambulance sirens... everything was very calm.

"Could it be!! No, it's impossible!" Hui's beautiful eyes widened, her lips trembling as she tried to reassure herself.

Hui felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, wandering aimlessly without finding a way out. Her hands and feet were piercingly cold, and the blood in her body seemed to have frozen, flowing little by little through her veins with the rhythmic beating of her heart.

The AIM force field instantly expanded to its limit of one kilometer, and began to indiscriminately search for memories.

'No···'

'It's not here either...'

···

'Found it here. Kouta was here half an hour ago.'

The streets were so crowded that Hui searched for a long time before finally finding a trace of Kouta from a grocery store owner.

According to his memory, Kouta did buy water here 30 minutes ago and then went out. The grocery store owner did not pay attention to what happened after he left.

That's all the fragmented information we have; nothing else.

Despite the hustle and bustle of the surroundings, with the sounds of motor vehicles mingling with the crowds of pedestrians, Hui felt as if the vibrant world had lost its luster and was utterly silent.

Hui's mind was in turmoil: "Kouta, missing?! No, maybe he just encountered something else on the way!"

"No, don't think too much, let's find Kouta first! Please, please don't let anything happen to him!"

Hui crossed the road and arrived at the general store where Gengtai sold water. There weren't many customers, just a few here and there.

Hui also saw two unopened bottles of mineral water not far away on the ground, and her heart felt as if a piece of it had been torn away.

I walked over and picked up two bottles of mineral water. They were brand new and showed no signs of a struggle.

"Where is he? Where did Kouta go?" As everything indicated that Kouta was likely in danger, Hui became increasingly anxious, like an ant on a hot plate. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She was frantic and at a loss for what to do. The bustling street was eerily quiet; she could almost hear herself breathing. Her heart was burning with anxiety! Extremely anxious! Impatience! Desperate! Her heart was ablaze!

"Yes, surveillance."

"Yes, and there are surveillance cameras!"

A well-hidden surveillance camera in the grocery store caught Hui's eye.

Although surveillance cameras are not widespread in Japan, there are still quite a few installed on main roads like this one.

"From this angle, the surveillance camera must have captured something. Let's check the surveillance footage from the grocery store first."

······

Chapter 143 Investigation

Hui has no ability to control electricity; to view surveillance footage, she can only control the shop owner and make him play the surveillance video.

The surveillance footage did indeed capture the scene of Qu Shiai seducing Kouta.

However, the shooting angle and the fact that the surveillance camera itself wasn't high-end resulted in a truly appalling scene.

Even so, Hui saw a woman in a purple tight dress approach Kouta and whisper something in his ear. Then, Kouta dropped the bottled water he was holding and, as if he had become a different person, hailed a taxi and left.

Looking at this scene.

Huizhen was furious! Her jade-like hands clenched tightly, trembling slightly. Her breasts, which had grown dramatically in the past month and had initially reached a C cup, heaved violently, and the veins on her fair neck were faintly visible.

Hui pressed her pink lips tightly together, biting her lip hard, fiercely suppressing the anger in her heart. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, staring intently at Qu Shi'ai in the video, wishing she could travel into the video and tear that woman to pieces.

Hui was certainly not angry that Kōta was getting close to other women.

Instead,

Outsiders couldn't see anything, but Kei, who was a psychic psychic herself, could easily tell that the woman had used her psychic psychic powers on Kouta.

"It's those pets! Damn it, they all deserve to die!"

Hui considered Qu Shiai to be one of the pets, because according to Hui's understanding of this world, the only superpower in this world was the ten or so pets kept by the Yasuda family.

"Heh! Whoever ordered you to do it, you better pray that Kouta is safe and sound. Otherwise, I'll make ninety percent of the world pay for Kouta's death!" Hui now really wanted to kill people, to wipe out all those who dared to lay a hand on Kouta.

After venting her frustrations, Hui left the grocery store and came to the sidewalk. Looking at this huge new area, Hui was lost and confused. She had no idea where Kouta had gone in the taxi.

"Kota! Kota! Don't worry, nothing will happen!..."

Hui could only search in the direction Konta had left, but there was no good way to do it because the new area was too big and there were too many people. All Hui could do was to activate the AIM field at full power and check the memories of everyone within a kilometer radius, hoping to find clues.

······

At the same time.

In a small coffee shop in Xinyu.

"Really? Sai Kaika has disappeared? And there's an inauguration press conference tomorrow?" Handa Yukichi, a reporter for the Kojiri Shimbun, was very excited and surprised after hearing the information from his college friend, Seisaki Zen. "You still have time to come to a place like this? Right now, the district prosecutor's office should be cooperating with the police department and running around everywhere, right!"

It turns out that two days ago, Zhai Kaihua, the first governor of the new domain, mysteriously disappeared after attending his election victory celebration banquet. According to preliminary investigations, Zhai Kaihua disappeared voluntarily.

This left Nomaru Ryuichiro and the other reformists dumbfounded, unable to understand Sai Kaika's purpose in doing so. At the same time, they were extremely anxious, since tomorrow was the press conference for the new domain's first domain head, the press conference where Sai Kaika would officially announce his appointment as the new domain head.

If Zhai Kaihua hasn't appeared by tomorrow's press conference, in front of the more than 200 million citizens of the new area, then all their previous efforts will have been in vain, and the so-called new area test site will be a joke.

Upon hearing Handa Yukichi's words, Masasaki Zen remained calm: "So, isn't this cooperating?"

As he spoke, Seisaki Zen looked at Kujiin Shi beside him. Kujiin Shi was a police inspector at the Tama East Central Police Station and also a good friend of Seisaki Zen.

"Hello!" Kujiin Shi took a bite of a hot dog and greeted the reporter, Handa Yukichi.

At this point, Masaki Zen continued his analysis: "Judging from the situation of the disappearance, Sai Kaika made thorough preparations beforehand. We can't even openly use the police, since we can't find them anyway."

"Then what should we do?" Handa Yukichi asked.

Jiu Ziyuan continued to enjoy her delicious food.

“Let’s focus on things other than the search. Handa, what do you think of Sai Kaika?” Seisaki Zen wanted to see what the others thought.

After pondering for a long time, Handa Yukichi said uncertainly, "Judging from his resume alone, he is a person on the right path. He graduated from the best high school in his hometown, got into a famous university in Tokyo, then went to England to study for a master's degree. After accumulating experience as a city councilor, he became the district head at the young age of 30. He didn't take any detours."

“That’s right, that guy won’t do anything pointless.” Masaki Zen took a sip of his coffee and continued, “In other words, being elected as the district head must also be meaningful.”

Kujiin Shiya added, "Indeed, having obtained such a high position, he wouldn't easily give it up."

Handa Yukichi understood: "So even if we don't go looking for him, he'll still take action on his own?"

"That's right. In order to be prepared for any eventuality, we should consider all possible scenarios."

Jiu Ziyuan Si also chimed in, "Then, this needs to be analyzed as well!"

As she spoke, Jiu Ziyuan Si took a document out of the briefcase next to her seat.

"What is this?" Zenichi Masasaki asked.

"This is Qu Shiai's birthplace and alma mater, but that's all."

Name: Qu Shiai.

Age: 23 years old.

Date of birth: June 6, 2008
