My fiancée Yukino

Taking out his phone, Luo Bai searched for information and quickly found the little girl's profile.

"Tina Sprantt, IP ranking 97, is a solo pioneer without a partner, and is skilled in long-range sniping."

As they were talking, the child slowly walked to a bench by the roadside, sat down, and yawned.

Shinobu Kocho laughed as well: "This child is so cute!"

"She's quite cute, but she's not one of the originators from the Tokyo area. Her purpose in coming here might not be so cute. Let's go talk to her, and if possible, take her with us."

Then, the two walked over to Tina Sprantt, who looked like she was about to fall asleep.

Approaching Tina, Luo Bai knelt down, looked at the little girl slowly opening her eyes, and said with a smile, "Hello, Tina Sprant."

"Woo..."

Tina Sprantt rubbed her eyes and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "You're a very impressive older brother, hello."

"Oh? You know me."

Tina yawned again, took a small transparent bottle out of her pocket, and said as she opened it, "Many people are investigating your information, big brother. You suddenly appeared and easily defeated Hiruko Kagetane. Those researchers are all guessing who performed the modification surgery on you, big brother, but after several days, they still haven't found any useful information, nor can they find out what kind of modification surgery you had."

Tina's words made Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu exchange a glance and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, you actually think I'm a modified human like Hiruko Kagetane? I don't like cutting myself like that and turning myself into a mechanical body."

As he spoke, Luo Bai reached out and patted Tina's head.

"You felt it, didn't you? The same body temperature and texture as a human. You're not a cyborg, are you?"

Tina blinked, feeling the temperature above her head. It was indeed very different from the modified humans she had encountered before.

"So amazing... Ugh... I'm sleepy."

Tina couldn't help but yawn again, then opened the small bottle in her hand and poured out some pills.

Shinobu Kocho saw the English on the bottle and asked curiously, "Is this... caffeine?"

Tina chewed the pill and swallowed it, then nodded and said, "Yes, I'm nocturnal, otherwise I can't stay awake during the day."

Taking the caffeine bottle from Tina, Luo Bai looked at the remaining dose and said, "If you take this for a long time, you'll develop resistance. If you want to achieve the same effect, you'll need to take a higher dose. You can't keep doing this. So, now that you know about me, how about giving up your current life and coming with us?"

"what?"

Tina looked at Luo Bai in surprise and tilted her head. "Me? But no matter where I go, they will find out. I can't escape."

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes after hearing this.

"You were also modified?"

Tina nodded, pointed to her head, and said, "I have a chip implanted in my brain. Besides controlling unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, it can also be used to detect my location."

Seeing Tina's honesty, Luo Bai smiled and asked, "You've already told me, are you really okay?"

Tina rubbed her eyes and said softly, "Because I couldn't beat them, and to avoid being captured and tortured, I chose to tell them myself."

This answer left Luo Bai quite helpless.

"When did I become a bad person who bullies children?"

Taking Tina's hand and helping her to her feet, Luo Bai said, "Since you know you can't beat me, I hereby declare you captured. No matter what you came here to do, you have no chance anymore, understand? Where are you staying now? Take us there."

Tina looked up at Luo Bai, then glanced at Kocho Shinobu.

"Why are you so insistent on having me?"

“Not just you, but all the cursed children, we intend to take them away if possible, and naturally those like you who act alone without a facilitator are included.”

Tina was very troubled, but just as Luo Bai said, as a cursed child with owl genes, she was never good at direct combat. Facing Luo Bai and Shinobu Kocho, she really had no ability to resist.

Not to mention it's daytime now, and even with caffeine pills, she's not at 100% alert.

There was nothing she could do but surrender.

With Shinobu Kocho leading Tina in the middle, Luo Bai said, "Let's go, let's set off. First, go to where you are now, unpack your things, change your clothes, and then come with us to the Ministry of Defense."

"Ministry of Defense? What are we going there for?"

"Look at the interrogation of Kikunojo Tendo," Luo Bai replied. "Kikunojo Tendo has been arrested, and the rest of the Tendo family members are also under surveillance. The next step is relentless interrogation, trying to get them to reveal everything the Tendo family has done over the years. I've already told them everything, so you should tell me too. What are you doing in the Tokyo area?"

After thinking for a moment, Tina decided to speak up: "I accepted the commission to assassinate the Holy Emperor."

"Alas... assassinating the Holy Emperor."

Luo Bai was not surprised by this, after all, now that Tendou Kikunojo had been dismissed by the Holy Emperor, although the Holy Emperor's power had been enhanced to an unprecedented degree, the dangers around him had also increased.

As before, although Tendou Kikunojo would do some things in a two-faced manner, he still did a very good job of protecting the Holy Emperor.

Some assassinations were thwarted by Kikunojo Tendou before the Holy Emperor even realized what was happening.

Now, these are things that the Holy Emperor must face himself.

Shinobu Kocho was also surprised that Tina had come to assassinate the Holy Emperor.

Think back to the actual strength of the guards around the Holy Emperor.

According to Shinobu Kocho, Tina really does have a chance to succeed.

Fortunately, they discovered it.

Half an hour later, the three of them turned around and arrived at Tina's temporary apartment in the Tokyo area.

Here, Tina changed out of her pajamas and into a lace-trimmed slip dress.

Luo Bai, who was in the apartment living room, saw Tina get dressed and come out with two large suitcases. He then walked over and took the suitcases from her.

"One is your clothing, and the other should be your weapon, right? We'll confiscate it now."

Then, to Tina's astonishment, she put the two suitcases into her bracelet.

Volume 1: Chapter 356 The Person Who Issued the Assassination Mission (2/2)

Tina blinked as she looked at the bracelet on Luo Bai's wrist.

"The box is gone."

Luo Bai showed his bracelet and said with a smile, "It's in here. You'll have a chance to get it later when you leave with us. Let's go, we need to go to the Ministry of Defense, or we'll be late. By the way, this is only part of your weapons, right?"

Now that Luo Bai has confiscated her weapons and equipment, Tina is even more helpless, knowing that her mission tonight is likely doomed.

Next, all he could do was pray that Luo Bai could help him fend off the pursuers.

After all, if they find out, he will be labeled a traitor.

Tina nodded and gave the location of all her other weapons: a large shipping container in the port.

Luo Bai also directly contacted a member of the action team who was out on missions and asked him to confiscate all the weapons.

When the three arrived at the Ministry of Defense, a guard was waiting outside the building.

Seeing that Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu were accompanied by an unfamiliar child, the guard did not say anything, but respectfully led the three into the Ministry of Defense and directly to the floor where Tendo Kikunojo was being held.

The Holy Emperor was already waiting here.

Seeing the child that Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu were holding, the Holy Emperor asked, "Luo Bai-kun, who is this child...?"

"Tina Sprantt has accepted the commission to assassinate your originator in the Tokyo area."

The moment the word "assassination" was uttered, the guards protecting the Holy Emperor immediately became alert.

The Holy Emperor was also surprised, but he didn't panic too much. He waved for the guards to put away their weapons and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Bringing her here proves that the child is no longer in danger, right?"

"That's right, I confiscated her weapons. However, the organization responsible for her will definitely find out about her mission failure by tonight. At that time, Your Majesty, you will still face danger, and it may not just be assassination by the Initiators. Be prepared."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the Holy Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, I know, and it was indeed bound to happen sooner or later. May I ask who issued the mission to assassinate me?"

Luo Bai looked at Tina, and the little girl nodded and said, "Although she didn't tell me, I've looked into it a bit. It's a commission from the President of the Osaka region, sent by Qi Wu Xuanzong."

Upon hearing this name, the Holy Emperor frowned deeply.

"Qi Wu Xuanzong... I never expected it to be him. No, it's more likely it was him. He must have known about what happened in the Tokyo area immediately. Qi Wu Xuanzong has long coveted the Tokyo area, and he wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. Luo Bai-kun, thank you very much this time. Before we begin the interrogation of Tendo Kikunojo, I would like to make a request. Could you serve as my bodyguard for the next period of time and protect me?"

"me?"

Luo Bai raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Sorry, I can't take on this request. I'm leaving the Tokyo area soon. However, I can make Osaka my first stop. I can help you deal with the threat from Qi Wu Xuanzong."

I'll definitely be visiting several regions in Japan.

Now that an assassination attempt has occurred, Naluo Bai naturally doesn't mind putting the Osaka area first.

The Osaka area has always had a high-pressure policy, and President Qi Wuxuanzong is no good either. Luo Bai doesn't mind going there to teach him a lesson.

Upon hearing that Luo Bai planned to travel to other regions, the Holy Emperor nodded and said, "Then, I'll leave it to you."

Next, the interrogation of Kikunojo Tendo began.

Seemingly understanding the Emperor's resolve, Kikunojo Tendo stopped being stubborn and answered all the questions the interrogator asked.

This scene surprised both Luo Bai and the Holy Emperor, who were standing outside the one-way glass.

The Holy Emperor frowned and said, "I have a feeling that something is not right."

"Of course something's not right." Luo Bai said with a smile after realizing what was going on. "After all, he's been a cunning old fox for so many years, and his hatred has reached a point where he can't distinguish right from wrong. How could he easily admit defeat just because he's been detained? So, Your Majesty, you'd better be more careful in the future. The Seven Stars' legacy is with me, but that doesn't mean that Kikunojo Tendou doesn't have other methods to summon Stage 5. And he probably won't tell you about that."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor immediately informed the interrogator inside via walkie-talkie.

After hearing this, the interrogator asked a question and then immediately asked about the method for summoning phase five.

Kikunojo Tendo shook his head without changing his expression and said, "I only know about the Seven Stars' legacy, but that method has already failed, and we can't get the items. As for other methods, I don't know anything about them."

Just as Luo Bai had guessed, Tendo Kikunojo indeed said he didn't know.

But the Holy Emperor did feel that the other party was not telling the truth, and it was probably impossible to get a result from this matter, even if he were given a vomiting potion.

After an hour-long interrogation, a lot of information was obtained, some of which, about the Tiantong family, was sent to Tiantong Musang by the Holy Emperor.

Meanwhile, Tendo Kisara, who was waiting in the villa, left immediately after receiving the information and began to do what he had always wanted to do.

When Satomi Rentaro and Aihara Enju saw this, neither of them did anything to stop them.

Standing at the window, watching Tendo Kisara leave, Aihara Enju rested her chin on her hands and asked, "Rentaro, are you really not going to stop her? That woman is going to go on a killing spree once she gets there."

Sitting on the sofa, Rentaro Satomi sighed: "I did try to stop her before, more than once, but do you think it was effective? The facts are clear, it's really unlikely that I could stop her from seeking revenge. Even if it was the Tendo family that adopted me, I could only prevent her from killing innocent people indiscriminately and target only the perpetrators."

"Sigh... Oh well, those people really deserve to die. I don't like them at all."

Stretching, Aihara Enju turned to Satomi Rentaro and asked, "Rentaro, what are we having for dinner? It seems the others are going out to eat and discuss business, so they didn't invite us."

"They want to talk about Sima Heavy Industries, so there's really no need to go."

After checking the time, Rentaro Satomi got up and went to the kitchen, where he opened the refrigerator.

"We still have the ingredients, I'll cook."

"Oh! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

Volume 1: Chapter 357 The Holy Emperor Who Knows the Truth (1/2)

Chrysanthemum indicum

After Chen's interrogation ended, the Holy Emperor left the Ministry of Defense with Luo Bai and the others, and went to the restaurant that Sima Weizhi had booked, where they all had a meal together.

At the dinner table, the Holy Emperor was very surprised to hear that Sima Heavy Industry would be handed over to him for management.

"This, this isn't a joke?"

Sima Weizhi chuckled and said, "Of course I'm not joking. Our Sima family has already found a new direction for the future, so Sima Heavy Industries is no longer that important. As for Your Majesty, now that you no longer have Tendou Kikunojo, you will need more power to protect yourself if you want to continue to hold this position. And compared to others, we are naturally more willing to hand over Sima Heavy Industries to you."

"..."

The Holy Emperor remained silent, utterly bewildered as to why such a thing had come to him.

"Can you tell me what exactly you want to do?"

Sima Weizhi did not answer, but looked at Luo Bai instead.

Luo Bai picked up some food for Tina, then smiled and looked towards Zhen Tu Huo Jin.

Wiping his mouth with a tissue, Zhen Tu Huojin smiled and looked at the Holy Emperor: "Your Majesty, I think you've always been curious about our origins, haven't you?"

The Holy Emperor nodded: "That's right, we can't find out your origins at all, it's like you appeared out of thin air."

Masato Masatsu didn't hide anything and said directly, "That's right, we appeared out of thin air. We came from another world, a world that hasn't experienced any disasters and has no Gastrea."
