My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

However, the previous EMP explosion paralyzed all electronic equipment, and even sensor-based fire extinguishing systems were not spared.

So while Sato was storming the conference room, Kei Nagai added to the battle plan: the automatic fire extinguishing system was disabled, so they could only use ghosts and water guns to defend against Sato's ghosts.

Therefore, when Keiichi Nagai said those words, Shimomura and Nakano understood immediately.

Shimomura no longer concealed her identity as a demi-human, so she summoned Kuro first to charge at Sato's ghost.

Kei Nagai's ghost also began attacking Sato's ghost from the front.

Unable to summon a ghost, Nakano had no choice but to quickly create distance, pulling out a toy water gun that could be bought for 200 yen and occasionally giving it a boost.

Nakano and his team couldn't get their hands on the pulse water guns from the special forces, but this also prevented the embarrassing situation of the water guns malfunctioning.

In an instant, the small conference room erupted into chaos.

"Bang...bang...bang...bang...bang..."

The black particles collided with each other with a brutal, visceral impact, producing a series of dull, resounding blows.

Sato, fighting two opponents at once, steadily gained the upper hand with his extensive combat skills, but his mood was far from as confident as he appeared.

Sato's ghost wanted to kill the original body so that it could be fully revived, but Nagai Kei and Shimomura's ghost kept blocking him.

In Sato's eyes, these were two tough punching bags blocking his true form, preventing him from killing it.

Breaking these two sandbags apart is not something that can be done in a short time.

This stalemate was truly disgusting to Sato.

And that was Nagai's plan: they didn't need to win, they just needed to stall until your ghost disappeared.

Sato's talent in demi-humans is so-so; he can only summon his ghost once a day, and each time it lasts for a maximum of 6 minutes.

"Heh, Nagai-kun, how did you know my ghost could act alone?" As time went by, Sato started to panic.

Unlike Kei Nagai, who possesses the extraordinary talent to summon ghosts indefinitely, he can only summon ghosts for six minutes at a time, and it's almost been six minutes already.

Although he still has the upper hand against two opponents, he is unable to break through their defenses, and there is another person with a water gun in the distance interfering with him.

While a single water gun won't make IBM disappear, it will create a sense of stagnation, which can be fatal in a fight.

"We must take dealing with Mr. Sato seriously, no matter how small the possibility may be!"

"Hehe, you think so highly of me, I don't know if I should be honored. But, Nagai-kun, do you really think I disrupted your peaceful life? No, your peaceful life was shattered the moment it was discovered that you were a demi-human. You will face endless pursuit and arrest. In a way, I'd say I'm your savior!"

“You saved me just to use me…” Kei Nagai retorted.

However, before Nagai could finish speaking, Sato's ghost showed signs of collapsing. Nagai and Shimomura seized the opportunity, exchanged a glance, and then, as if injected with adrenaline, launched a fierce counterattack!

"Boom!—"

Finally, they managed to perish together with Sato's ghost, and all three ghosts vanished into thin air.

"Ha, this time we've really messed up unexpectedly!"

Sato's ghost vanished after uttering those words, but his tone didn't convey the sense of a hero's demise; he remained as smiling, confident, and mad as ever.

Looking at the now quiet conference room, Sato's unconscious body lay there silently.

Kei Nagai, Osamu Nakano, and Izumi Shimomura hesitated for a moment, then burst into joy at their victory!

"It's...it's a success!"

"We finally caught that Sato!"

"This time, it's really over!"

The three men's faces were filled with the joy of victory, and they felt an incomparable sense of exhilaration. The happiness of finally succeeding after going through hardships was so mellow, sweet, and delicious, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste!

However, happy times are always so short.

Just then!

Bang... Crash!

With a loud bang, the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in the conference room shattered into pieces.

A beautiful young girl descended from the sky, stepping on black phantoms, looking from afar like a black angel fallen from hell.

"Hey! Did I disturb your celebration of victory?" A clear and sweet female voice rang out.

Hui had been watching Sato and his group from the air since the attack began.

Seeing that Sato was ruined by his own arrogance, Kei couldn't sit still any longer. Sato couldn't fall here.

So Huicai descended from the sky, ready to rescue Sato.

Kei Nagai and his two companions stared warily at the girl who had broken through the window...

Hui stood in the conference room, looking at Sato lying motionless on the ground, and then at the still joyful yet wary expressions on the faces of Nagai Kei and the other two.

Smiling at them, she said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I that scary?"

"Huh?! You, you're the person Sato gathered the demi-humans that day. By the way, what's your name?"

Nakano recognized Kei because he and Kei had met in that abandoned factory when Sato first gathered the demi-humans, but Nakano and the others had fled because they disagreed with Sato.

At that time, Kei had not introduced herself, which is why Nakano Osamu knew her but couldn't remember her name because Kei hadn't introduced herself.

Upon hearing Nakano's words, Kei Nagai immediately realized what was happening. "Shimomura, Nakano, the enemy is here! Attack!"

Chapter 86 Surveillance

However, neither of them made a move.

Nakano spoke first: "Nagai, what nonsense are you talking about! The other party is a girl, how could she be an enemy! Even if she is, she was coerced by Sato and the others, right! Hmm... Miss Unknown?"

Shimomura, on the other hand, was sweating profusely and stood frozen in place, his mind replaying the bizarre scene of him and Tozaki capturing the other party.

She wanted to remind Nagai and Nakano that the other person was Kobayami Kanae, the monster who could alter memories, but then she thought: would it even make a difference? The other person was a monster who could control humans with just a glance.

Seeing that the two idiotic team members didn't move, Kei Nagai gritted his teeth and shouted, "Ghost, come out and attack them!"

As Kei Nagai shouted, a black phantom quickly formed, but instead of attacking Kei immediately, it emitted a hoarse, broken voice: "This time...it's really...over..."

After saying that, Ghost rushed towards Hui in a few steps, and when he got close, he threw a punch at Hui's head.

"Stop," Hui said calmly.

What was clearly just ordinary sound waves produced by the friction of lips and teeth against the air seemed like a declaration to the world at that moment.

Unable to resist, unable to disobey, unable to refuse!

In an instant, Kei Nagai, that usually unruly ghost, stood rooted to the spot like a wooden stake, his fist still half-swung out and suspended in the air.

Its mouthless head uttered a hoarse voice: 'It...can't...move.'

"Wh...what?! Move! Move now!!" Nagai shouted at the ghost when he saw this.

Nakano looked at the scene before him, still not realizing that it was Kei who had stopped Nagai Kei's actions. He simply said to Nagai Kei with dissatisfaction, "Nagai, what are you doing! Why did you attack without even knowing what happened!"

However, Kei Nagai ignored Nakano's words; he had no interest in dealing with this terrible teammate.

Hui glanced at Nagai Kei and recognized him as the 'completely broken person' that Sato had mentioned.

Hui smiled at Nagai and then said, "Preconsciousness, strip away."

"Uh!" Kei Nagai felt changes happening to his body, or rather, to his brain, that he himself was unaware of, and then, then! The ghost... vanished.

Upon witnessing Kei's bizarre methods, Kei Nagai suddenly remembered someone: "This...this is...could you be Kanae Kobayami?!"

"Huh?! You know me?" Hui was taken aback, thinking, 'Am I that famous? Why don't I know you?'

"I, you..."

"Forget it, you don't need to say anything, I'll see for myself."

Hui looked at Kei Nagai, and the Level 5 mind manipulation generated a powerful AIM field that instantly surged towards Kei Nagai's head.

—Capability structure adjustment…Retrieval formula generation…

—Completed…Start Search…

In an instant, the memories in Kei Nagai's mind were like an open library in Hui's eyes, with no secrets whatsoever.

"Ah..." Kei Nagai screamed loudly because Hui had not blocked his consciousness. He could clearly feel his memories from birth to the present uncontrollably surfacing, and many scenes appeared in an instant, like watching n movies at the same time, with countless images flooding into his head at the same time.

At that moment, he began to understand how Shimomura Izumi had felt back then.

During Hui's search, Nagai Kei's memories from childhood to adulthood appeared before Hui's eyes in great detail. Hui could browse wherever she wanted, delete whatever she wanted, and modify whatever she wanted.

In the memory fragments:

'Dad, don't go, don't leave me...'

" no."

"You must become an elite member of society; you are the hope of your entire family..."

"Not at all."

······

"Izumi Shimomura said, 'There's something I'm not sure if I should say...'"

"Hmm, this is..." Hui found what she was looking for.

Although Hui's memory retrieval seems troublesome and slow, in reality it only takes a moment. Because Hui's soul has reached more than 7000 million strings, his thinking speed has reached the nanosecond (10 to the power of negative nine seconds) level. Nagai Kei's mere dozen years of memories cannot fill Hui's memory.

However, although retrieving memories is very fast, the whole process is still quite troublesome. So, when Hui wants to know something, the usual method is to learn from Shokuhou Misaki and let the other person say it out loud.

After completing the search, Hui suddenly realized what was going on.

“I see.” Hui turned to look at Shimomura Izumi, who had been standing still since the beginning of the day, seemingly giving up. “You’re the same person from that day, and a demi-human at that.”

Hui then looked at Nagai Kei and Nakano, "You two are also Ajin! All the Ajin members of the Ajin Management Committee are here, perfect..."

'That's just what I need to devour you all,' Hui murmured to herself.

Thinking of this, Hui's eyes turned dangerous.

Suddenly, Kei Nagai and his two companions felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by wolves.

Hui thought of herself as the hunter, but what she didn't know was that her every move was being closely watched.

In a secret room a few kilometers away from the Musashi Building.
