My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Nakano, Kazuyama, and Kinoshita exchanged glances and turned to leave.

As they reached the door, Uncle Reiji Akiyama stood there without moving an inch, declaring righteously, "Sato, I won't let you do whatever you want. I will definitely stop you."

"Uh, sir, are you out of your mind?! If you want to stop someone, do it secretly! Why are you shouting it out loud? You're practically forcing them not to let you go!" Hui was stunned by Akiyama Reiji's actions.

As expected, Sato gave a sinister smile.

Nakano noticed something was wrong and looked up to see a light flashing from the grille of the ventilation duct in the room.

He immediately realized it was the reflection of the gun muzzle, and without thinking, he immediately kicked Akiyama Reiji in the ligament on the inside of his calf.

Reiji Akiyama lost his balance and tilted to one side.

Almost at the same time,

A gunshot rang out.

The bullet slid out of the barrel and shot towards Akiyama Reiji, but Akiyama, who had fallen to the side, managed to dodge it.

Tanaka, who was at the ventilation duct, no longer hid. He kicked open the vent gate and fired two shots in the direction of Akiyama Reiji.

bang bang

Two bullets missed their mark and struck the steel wall with a "clang! clang!" sound.

Tanaka did not give up and continued to fire, but Akiyama Reiji, Nakano Osamu, Ichiyama and Kinoshita still managed to escape in a panic.

Only Ichiyama and Kinoshita were shot and fell to the ground, clutching their abdomens in pain.

Reiji Akiyama, who had escaped, slammed the door shut behind him. Tanaka chased after him but couldn't break down the door.

"咚咚-"

A loud crash came from outside, followed by fragmented words: "The exit is over there..."

"What about the others...?"

"Now that I'm lying here, who will stop me...?"

"Hurry...hurry up..."

······

Inside the house, Tanaka tried for a while but still couldn't open the door.

So he asked Sato, who was standing next to him, "Mr. Sato, what should we do?"

"Why can't you improve your shooting skills?" Sato said weakly, clutching the abdomen where Tanaka had shot him. "You hit me. Randomly firing can kill people."

However, even after seeing Ichiyama and Kinoshita lying on the ground, Sato still praised Tanaka, saying, "Your shot hit his spot pretty well."

What should we do with this person?

"Stuff it in the bucket and lock it in the basement," Sato ordered.

As if he had grown accustomed to his wounds, Sato said to the four people who remained, "Alright, now let's see what you're made of."

After saying that, he took out two pistols and handed them to Takahashi and Ken.

"And the next two?"

Okuyama remained calm: "I can't run. I have congenital muscle atrophy in my right leg, and even if I were to die and be resurrected, my leg would still be like that."

"Then what can you do for us?"

"Um, that tranquilizer gun is a bit crooked, when firing..."

Okuyama demonstrated his extensive mechanical knowledge and computer skills to Sato.

Sato nodded in satisfaction.

Then he looked at Hui.

Hui had already retreated far away when Tanaka fired his first two shots, afraid of being caught in the crossfire by Tanaka, a novice whose grip on the gun was incorrect.

At this moment, Hui pretended to hesitate for a moment and asked uncertainly, "How about leaving logistics to me? Demi-humans also need to eat and live. I can handle things like supplies and communication with other demi-humans."

Sato didn't make things difficult for Kei, and nodded, saying, "Hmm, that works too."

Afterwards, Tanaka and his group captured Reiji Akiyama, a bespectacled otaku.

Hui asked, "How long are they going to keep them imprisoned?"

"It'll only take a few days. Just teach them a lesson. You're not going to imprison them forever, are you?" Sato said to Kei with a smile.

“Oh, is that so? If you’re going to let them go, then leave them to me, the logistics manager!” Hui said eagerly.

"Oh, Miss, you're so enthusiastic! Sure." Sato agreed with a smile.

Chapter 6.4 Intelligence Acquisition

Hui was unaware that she had joined Sato's revolutionary organization.

Inside a monitoring room of the Tokyo Ajin Management Committee.

Yu Tosaki and his junior colleague, Kyūgabe, are analyzing surveillance footage in front of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

"Tozaki-senpai, look here. It looks like this person was bumped by something just now."

Yu Tozaki observed carefully for a while and said, "That's an IBM! ...Wait a minute, zoom in on this."

Yu Tozaki pointed at Nakano Osamu, who was wearing a hat, because he noticed that Nakano Osamu's gaze seemed to be fixed on something.

The beastmen's ward greatly affected the head of the mid-field attacker.

Sure enough, Nakano's gaze had been following something.

“Although we don’t know how many IBMs are there, this person is our breakthrough point,” Yu Tosaki said confidently.

Just as Tosaki Yu was about to leave, Jugabe called out to him: "Senpai, if that's the case, then this girl is also a suspect."

As he spoke, the beastman pointed to Hui in the surveillance footage.

"The girl walked all over the street, stopping and starting as if to confirm something. Moreover, although she did her movements very discreetly, she did look into thin air several times."

"Let me see..." Yu Tozaki looked at it carefully, then said, "Hmm, this woman is also a prime suspect, and we've listed her as a target for arrest."

Meanwhile, in the following days, Sato had already changed his base of operations.

It's still an abandoned factory, but it's much smaller than the previous one.

Sato decides to attack the headquarters of Glen Pharmaceuticals.

The walkie-talkies, computers, Glencore Pharmaceuticals internal work clothes, drones, and various electronic components needed were procured by Huilai.

Guns, explosives... purchased from the black market.

As for where the money came from...

The official sells the equipment.

They sell their own organs; after all, they're demi-humans, and the organs they lose will grow back after they die.

However, all the organs were taken from Tanaka.

Because during two years of human trials, his brain had become completely immune to pain.

For him, removing a kidney without anesthesia wouldn't even make him blink... because... he's already used to it.

Besides that, the guy in the team named Okuyama is a real computer genius.

Although he claimed to only know a little, the skills he demonstrated were definitely at the hacker level, even world-class.

Finally, there's the Black Ghost—IBM.

The team consists of 6 people, including Hui.

However, Takahashi Kazuhiro was unable to release IBM.

Hui also learned about IBM's limitations.

For example, it can only be released once or twice a day, and each time it dissipates after 5 to 10 minutes. IBM begins to dissipate as it forms, and it cannot be released on rainy days...

'But I can release my own ghost for as long as I want, even when it's raining. Aside from feeling a little harder to control, the ghost won't dissipate.'

'Hmm!? Could it be because I'm an ability user, and my mental strength is far superior to theirs!'

'Yes! That should be it.' Hui realized the reason.

However, on the surface, Hui did not show any difference.

However, once her teammates saw that Hui's ghost had the ability to fly, it was no longer possible for Hui to stay in the back and do nothing.

Hui was assigned the task of taking out the snipers in the air during the attack.

"Oh! I thought you wouldn't be able to bring yourself to do it, little girl," Sato laughed.

"That's not quite right. After all, revolutions always involve bloodshed. Do you really believe that rights and peace can be obtained through communication and dialogue? You're not elementary school students here!"

Hui spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if she were a member of a social elite.

This is the persona that Hui presents. In her self-introduction, Hui said that she came from a poor family and had to work while studying. Her aloof personality was to avoid having too much contact with them in order to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.

Given this setup, if Hui were to say things like killing is wrong or that she couldn't bring herself to do it, it would seem a bit contrived!

In the following days.

Every day, Okuyama used the newly purchased computers at the base to try and hack into the network of Glen Pharmaceuticals headquarters.

This will take about a week, and the attack will begin when Aoyama succeeds.

Two days prior, Sato had begun posting attack warning videos on the demi-human website created by Okuyama, specifying the time and location: the first wave would be at 3 PM on Wednesday, ten days from now, at the headquarters of Gran Pharmaceuticals…

Extremely arrogant!

However, this was the result of a collective discussion, because they believed that only in this way could they attract widespread social attention and maximize the effect of the attack.

However, Sato simply wanted to enjoy the thrill of battle.

Today, with seven days left until the attack, Sato instructed, "Alright, the attack video was released three days ago. Release those demi-humans locked up in the basement."

Hui said enthusiastically, "Leave this to me! You all stay here and prepare for the attack!"

"Do you need any help?" Takahashi asked solicitously.

"No need, since the three of them have their hands tied behind their backs and their eyes are blindfolded, I can manage on my own."
