There is absolutely no problem with Kasugano Yuu's youth

Soon, Kasugano Yu was taken into a house and met the "master".

Chapter 28 Pop

When Kasugano Yuu actually saw this "master", he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.

There was no other reason, because the other party looked like just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, and did not look like a big shot at all.

"Hello, it's really not easy to meet you, but after so many years, I finally meet you. You can call me Pop." Pop introduced himself.

"So what on earth do you want me to do?" Kasugano Yuu didn't want to know how much time this loli who called herself Popo had spent looking for him. He just wanted to know why she wanted him to come.

"Oh, why don't you introduce yourself first? You are so eager to get straight to the point." Pope said in surprise.

"..." Kasugano Yuu didn't say anything, he just stood there with an expression that said, "I'm watching your performance."

Seeing this, Pop couldn't pretend anymore, he waved his hand casually, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's boring, let's just say it bluntly, I hope you can work for me and help me do things."

"Why me?" Kasugano Yuu knew very well that he was nothing special. If he had to say something, it was only the bug-like ability of being able to travel between two worlds at any time.

"Because you are very special, I noticed you more than two years ago. At that time, I was bored and hacked into the system of the mechanical guards. Then I found an abnormal record in their logs. That is, there was an unknown person who appeared at an unknown place at irregular times. Moreover, many mechanical guards would lose track of you when they were about to catch "you". Then I became interested in you."

Pope stopped, turned around, reached out to grab the water cup on the table and took a sip of water before continuing, "Later, I will implant a virus that can detect your presence into all the cameras in the city. As soon as you show up, I will know. But because you always come and go quickly, I have never met you before today."

"So?" Kasugano Yuu asked.

"I invite you to join my great cause!" Pope said as he extended his hand to Kasugano Yu, probably inviting Kasugano Yu.

Kasugano Yuu looked at the little hand Pope handed over, but did not shake it. Instead, he said, "You don't seem to have told me what your so-called great cause is."

"Huh?" Pop was stunned. She found that it seemed to be the same as what Kasugano Yu said, but she hadn't said what her so-called great cause was.

Thinking of this, Pope couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on his face: "Sorry, sorry."

Then Pop promoted her great career to Kasugano Yu.

To put it roughly, the world nowadays is really rotten. ITEMs are used like tools. Even ITEMs equipped with personality chips are not taken seriously at all. Most owners have the attitude towards ITEM: I bought it, so I can do whatever I want with it.

Therefore, some of them have twisted minds and will inflict their cruelty on ITEM, causing its death or disability.

Pope hopes that he can kill those who harm ITEM by himself, so as to warn those who hold ITEM to treat ITEM well instead of using them as objects.

When necessary, they will even kill some people from Eden Company. It can be said that they are extremely bold in this city controlled by Eden Company.

"How is it?" After talking about his great cause, Pop looked at Kasugano Yu with anticipation.

"Very impressive." Kasugano Yu applauded Pope's great cause, and then said, "So what does this have to do with me?"

"Hey hey hey!" Pop looked at Kasugano Yu in surprise. She didn't understand why Kasugano Yu had this reaction.

Generally speaking, shouldn't Kasugano Yuu be moved to tears after listening to her great cause, and then join her great cause and contribute his own efforts?

Pope thought about it carefully and didn't think there was anything wrong with his description of his great career.

Kasugano Yuu probably saw that Pope was confused about his reaction, so he explained: "Your career is indeed great, but for someone like me who has never even owned an ITEM, I can neither empathize with you nor do I think there is any benefit for me to join in this."

Kasugano Yu spread his hands after he finished speaking. It seemed that Pope said a lot, but in fact, it was all empty talk. He did not mention anything that would be of any benefit to him.

Everyone can make big promises, but the problem is that there are no practical benefits. Who would be willing to work hard for it? At least Kasugano Yu is not willing to do so.

Pope quickly understood what Kasugano Yuu meant, which was simply that Kasugano Yuu needed benefits.

This is simple, but it is not easy to get benefits.

"I remember that you are an illegal resident without an identity card, right? Then I can help you solve your identity problem, and then you can appear in this city openly." Pope gave his chips.

Hearing this, Kasugano Yuu was somewhat tempted. After all, identity was indeed of great value to him. If he could have an identity in this world, he could do many things that he wanted to do but couldn't do.

But this is not enough.

"Not enough." Kasugano Yu shook his head, indicating that the chips offered by Pope were not high enough. In simple terms, he needed to add more money!

Pope gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and added, "Then I can pay for you to buy items. Any model is fine, and the price is not a big deal, but the premise is that you have to promise to treat them well. This should be enough, right? You know, top-level items for sex are something that ordinary people can never buy in their lifetime."

This time, Pope's price increase was indeed very sincere. After thinking about it, Kasugano Yuu felt that he should confirm a few things before agreeing.

"I can agree to join you, but before I agree, I want to ask one last thing."

Seeing this, Pop breathed a sigh of relief, then slumped down in his chair, waved his hand and said, "Ask."

"How can an ordinary person like me kill those people? How can I ensure my own safety?" asked Kasugano Yu.

"Oh, if it's just these problems, you don't need to worry. I will provide you with weapons and protective gear. If you have any weapons and equipment you want to customize, you can tell me and I will help you." Pope thought it was some other problem, but it turned out to be just a small matter like this.

"Well, I agree to join you."

"Welcome to join us." Pope said and extended his hand to Kasugano Yu.

Looking at the hand extended in front of him, Kasugano Yu shook hands with Pop out of politeness.

Chapter 29 Careful selection

"Oh, right." Kasugano Yuu suddenly remembered something.

"What?" Pop looked at Kasugano Yu in confusion.

"That is, if I, um, I rejected you, would you kill me? After all, if I knew about your great cause, what if I exposed you?" Kasugano Yuu just remembered this. When he thought of this, he felt that he was really careless just now. What if he refused and was killed?

"Well." Popo pondered for a moment. After all, she had never really thought about this question, because in her opinion, Kasugano Yuu would definitely agree to her in the end, so after a while, Popo gave her answer to Kasugano Yuu.

"I think so. Although you are an illegal immigrant, it doesn't stop you from reporting me. So it would be safer to just kill you." Pope made a pistol shape with his hand and shot at Kasugano Yuu.

"Then I really made the right choice." Kasugano Yu raised his hand and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Yes, then you can tell me your name now. I also need to forge an identity for you, so I need a name." Pope said.

"Kasugano Yuu, this is my name." Kasugano Yuu told Pope his name.

"Kasugano Yuu? This name is really weird, like the name of Japan in ancient times. Does anyone still have such a name now?" Pop looked at Kasugano Yuu in surprise. After all, the names here are mostly Western, and the name Kasugano Yuu is somewhat out of place.

Then Pop looked at the girl standing behind Kasugano Yuu and said, "Eve, introduce yourself to your new colleague."

Hearing this, Kasugano Yuu remembered that there was a girl behind him. It was this girl who threatened him and brought him here.

The girl whom Pop called Eve came out from behind Kasugano Yuu. She walked to Pop's side, pulled down her robe, revealed a delicate little face and said, "My name is Eve, and I'm Pop's favorite girl."

"Hello." Kasugano Yu nodded at Eve, and then noticed something unusual about her. Her arms and thighs were not of a normal human structure, but were replaced by strange machines1. There were also strange decorations on her face.

"Hehehe." Pope walked around Eve's back, stretched out his hands to hug Eve's neck, and said with a smile: "Eve is the first child I picked up. At that time, I saw Eve without limbs in the garbage dump. Her former owner abused her just for the sake of abuse. He didn't even think about doing anything else. At that time, I saw the desire for life in her eyes. It was also the first time I discovered that ITEM is also afraid of death, so I picked up Eve, installed limbs on her, and upgraded her."

Pop said, motioning for Eve to demonstrate it to Kasugano Yuu.

Eve glanced around the room, then found an iron rod as thick as her little finger, and bent it with one hand. This really scared Kasugano Yuu. What kind of loli with super strength is this? He also suddenly understood why he was so easily pushed by Eve at that time. Maybe if Eve wanted to break his neck at that time, she might not even need a second blow, and he might not even have time to react.

Thinking about it now, Kasugano Yuu felt a little scared. It turned out that he was not as safe in this world as he seemed. Maybe joining Pope was a good choice now.

"Then go choose your equipment now, and then go do your first mission while there is still time." Pope said, reaching out and grabbing Kasugano Yu's arm, pulling him into a room.

This room was filled with weapons that looked very sci-fi, which dazzled Kasugano Yu for a moment.

Pop took a ring from the shelf, broke it in two, and then reconnected it on Kasugano Yuu's arm and put it on Kasugano Yuu's arm.

"What is this?" Kasugano Yu touched the ring.

"This is nano armor. It can quickly form a thin layer of armor on the surface of your skin. It can withstand several attacks from small killing cannons. When the energy is insufficient, it will become ordinary armor." Pope said as he knocked on the ring with nano armor, and then countless nano machines poured out of the ring to form a layer of armor on the surface of Kasugano Yuu's skin.

"What is a killing cannon?" After hearing this thing, Kasugano Yuu's attention was diverted from the sci-fi-looking nano armor. He inexplicably felt a little uneasy. This thing didn't look like a good thing at all.

"I'll tell you later." Pope waved his hand, signaling Kasugano Yu not to worry.

Then, Pope picked up a syringe and stabbed Kasugano Yuu in the hand, which scared Kasugano Yuu.

"Don't be afraid. This is just a small subcutaneous injection terminal. The model I made is several generations better than those currently sold on the market." Pope comforted.

Not long after, Kasugano Yuu found some words appearing on his retina, such as "loading".

"This..." Kasugano Yuu looked at these words. It was the first time he witnessed the power of this world's technology. Projecting information on the retina was really cool.

"Don't worry, just wait for it to load slowly. I'll continue to introduce it to you." Pope picked up a mechanical device the size of a dollar coin and introduced it to Kasugano Yuu: "This is an ultra-small emp generator with a range of ten meters. Within this range, if it is not specially processed, even the brain of ITEM will be temporarily on standby."

After saying that, Pop grabbed five or six and stuffed them into Kasugano Yuu's pocket.

Kasugano Yuu took out the EMP generating device. He thought it was too high-tech. It was only the size of a coin, but it could produce EMP attacks within a range of ten meters. You should know that the only way to produce EMP on a modern battlefield is through nuclear explosions. As for small and efficient EMP weapons, they do not exist. But in this world, if you want to produce EMP, you only need to use such a small thing. If you go back there, it will probably make physicists all over the world cry.

Afterwards, Pope introduced several very practical equipment to Kasugano Yu, such as a miniature plasma launcher pistol that can fire single shots or continuous shots, and the battery can be used for 20 shots before it needs to be replaced.

A small diamond-shaped shield device that automatically unfolds into four pieces to form a rectangular shield when attacked, and has an energy limit.

The automatic enemy-seeking grenade will automatically identify enemies and friendly forces when thrown, and then use a small propulsion device to fly to the enemy's position and kill the enemy.

High-frequency vibration knife, nanomedical repair device, standard killer improved rifle...

Pop gave a lot of weapons like these to Kasugano Yu.

Chapter 30 The first mission

"Okay, with these equipments, as long as we don't encounter any difficult tasks, we can solve them easily with these equipments." Pope took two steps back, looked at the preparations he had chosen on Kasugano Yuu, and nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, Pope thought that if it was just an ordinary mission, he could just give a gun, let Kasugano Yuu aim at the target and pull the trigger, and kill them before the target could react.

However, considering that Kasugano Yuu is a real human being, and unlike those ITEMs that she has modified, she does not have extraordinary strength and speed that humans cannot achieve, she feels that these equipment are not too excessive.

Kasugano Yuu was fiddling with the weapons in his hands. After all, these weapons were too attractive to him.

The things that men are interested in are nothing more than cars, guns, and huge steel structures. If given the choice between women and mechas, most men will definitely choose mechas without hesitation.

After fiddling with it for a while, Kasugano Yu stuffed the improved standard killer rifle into the inside of the coat that Pop gave him. It was unknown what technology was used in this coat, but the things hung on it seemed to lose their original weight, so that walking and running would not be hindered. Moreover, a layer of "membrane" was formed on it with weak energy. Normally, this "membrane" could withstand rain, and when necessary, it could increase the output power and even withstand bullets.

"Okay, Eve, take him to carry out his first mission." Pope turned his head and looked at Eve who was standing aside silently.

"Yeah." Eve nodded slightly, then said to Kasugano Yuu, "Let's go."

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

The two left Pope's base.

"By the way, is there only two of you in your organization?" Kasugano Yuu asked curiously.

"Not really. In addition to me and Pop, there are many ITEMs saved by Pop stationed in various places. They will be responsible for killing the guys in their area. When they encounter a task that is really impossible to solve, Pop will send me to assist them."

"If you kill people like this, won't anyone come to arrest you?" Kasugano Yuu couldn't help but ask.

If they really killed people like Pope and the others did, they would inevitably offend certain people and be surrounded and attacked.

Eve looked back at Kasugano Yu and felt that Kasugano Yu's question was redundant, but she still patiently explained to Kasugano Yu. After all, this was Pop's only male member, and the one he personally designated.

"Of course there are, but they are all dead." When Eve said this, her tone seemed particularly relaxed, and it was obvious that she did not take those people seriously.

Perhaps when talking about this matter, Eve's interest suddenly piqued and she began to introduce the situation of the organization to Kasugano Yuu.

“Although many people know Pope’s name, most people call him the Pope, and we ITEMs are called the Pope’s messengers, or executioners.” When Eve said this, there was a pride in her tone that was hard to conceal.

When Kasugano Yuu heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his toes, because Kasugano Yuu was already past the age of middle school, and he felt a little embarrassed listening to these things.

However, Kasugano Yuu soon noticed that Eve mentioned that many people knew Pope's name. What was going on?

Kasugano Yuu asked Eve his questions.

"Well, it's because the master usually sells weapons, and he can sell them to anyone who wants to buy them."

"Won't these weapons be pointed at you one day?" asked Kasugano Yuu.

"Tsk!" Eve showed a look of disdain on her face when she heard this, and said, "Do you think they can be our opponents just because they have those weapons?"

"Oh okay."

"Forget it. Since this is your first mission, the master asked me to keep an eye on you to prevent you from messing up the mission."

"But you asked me to do this kind of thing on my first day of joining. Aren't you afraid that I am just pretending to join you?"

"Don't worry. Even if you defect later, it won't be enough to pose any threat to us."

Seeing Eve so confident, Kasugano Yu nodded silently.

Afterwards, Eve and Kasugano Yuu stopped talking, and Kasugano Yuu followed Eve to the mission location.
