Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

Jun Suzuki pressed her cheek against Rod's leg and smiled.

"The guy you're trying to catch, if he's really in Japan, he'll definitely show up eventually, unable to contain himself~"

Rod squinted at the clock on the wall, stood up, and spoke calmly.

"It's about time. Let's go see the last confirmed person, and then we'll go meet your future companions."

Most of the named demi-humans in the original work are from Japan.

Upon arriving here, Rod immediately instructed Jun Suzuki to locate them via the internet and then visit them one by one.

It's not that there aren't some who don't want to lose their demi-human power, and some even provoke Rhodes by relying on their ability to resurrect infinitely.

As for the outcome...

After their demi-human powers were plundered, Rhodes sent them on a free space trip.

Now only one goal remains.

Probably one of the subhumans with the highest concentration of IBM in the world!

As the evening sun shone on the school gate, Rod and Jun Suzuki stood side by side.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman is naturally quite eye-catching.

Students coming out of school frequently cast curious glances at them, some whispering among themselves, others chuckling to themselves.

The girls stared intently at Rod, unable to resist covering their mouths and gasping in surprise.

Some daring hot girls even mustered up the courage to ask for his Line account.

Even with Suzuki Jun's murderous glare as she clung to Rod's arm, he had to grit his teeth and come forward.

Although Rhodes admired their courage, he still politely declined. The hot girl's eyes reddened on the spot, and she almost cried.

Jun Suzuki burst out laughing without any politeness. The hot girl glared at her fiercely, muttered a few words like "What's so good about an old woman?", and before Jun Suzuki could retort angrily, she turned and ran away.

"Damn it!"

Jun Suzuki stomped his foot in anger and embarrassment.

"These young girls these days are going too far!"

Rod laughed heartily, looking at the students playing and laughing inside and outside the school gate, a look of nostalgia and faint emotion on his face.

After a moment of annoyance, Jun Suzuki quickly shook off his bad mood and sighed.

She was once a carefree, artistic young woman, but now, after experiencing dramatic changes in her life and being mentored by Rod, she has transformed into a standard professional office lady.

She exudes a powerful and unapproachable aura of a mature woman, which is why no guy dares to approach her.

It's not because the man next to her had a more frightening look in his eyes...

However, Jun Suzuki, who appears mature and aloof in front of outsiders, is completely different when she is with Lotte in private, and still maintains her original personality.

She would always flirt by acting cute and throwing tantrums, staring at him blankly while occasionally revealing a silly, goofy smile.

All the sharpness in his body was replaced by the cuteness and softness that belonged exclusively to Rhodes.

Jun Suzuki's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Master, target spotted."

Rod squinted, took a step, and walked up to a boy with short black hair.

"Kei Nagai?"

Kei Nagai looked up in surprise, scrutinizing Rod's appearance, and asked in confusion.

"We know each other?"

"Let's talk somewhere else?"

Although it was a question, Rod's tone left no room for argument.

Suddenly, a blond boy rushed over and stood in front of Kei Nagai with his arms outstretched.

"Hey, what are you going to do to my friend?!"

"Haidou, you..."

Rhodes didn't even glance at the hot-blooded guy, just chuckled and turned to leave.

"I'll be waiting for you at the construction site on the street corner. It's up to you whether you come or not. But if you don't come, it won't be so easy to see me next time."

Kei Nagai frowned, watching Rod's departing figure, caught in a dilemma.

"Kaito, do me a favor..."

After a while, Kei Nagai finally arrived at the construction site alone. When he saw Rod leisurely eating oden, his expression became tense.

Who are you? What do you want to say?

For some reason, his IQ, which far surpasses that of his peers, allows him to make quick, even cold, judgments no matter how chaotic the situation.

But when facing this guy, a sense of utter inescapable fear arose within him.

He was extremely cautious, on high alert, and tried his best to remain calm.

"I've already told my friend to wait at a distant intersection. If he doesn't return within fifteen minutes, I'll call the police immediately."

Rod threw away the skewer in his hand and gave Nagai Kei an admiring look.

This guy is different from most male protagonists in Japanese anime; he is a highly intelligent, purely rational egoist.

Such a person could play a significant role in any field, but Rhodes was not interested in wasting energy recruiting such a person as a subordinate.

"Make a deal."

Rod conjured a pistol out of thin air and pointed it at Nagai Kei's forehead.

"Wait until you wake up again."

Kei Nagai's eyes widened.

"!!!"

Five minutes later.

Rod and Suzuki Jun walked out of the construction site.

Jun Suzuki frowned deeply, making no attempt to hide his disgust and aversion.

"That guy is so strange... After he found out that he was a demi-human and that you could plunder it for him, he immediately knelt down and begged you to take away this ability without hesitation."

"There was no hesitation or confusion whatsoever; it was as if it were a machine that could only judge the pros and cons."

Rhodes gave a faint smile.

"Isn't that good? I love doing business with sensible people like that."

After all, they gave me a huge surprise without saying a word or wasting any time.

[Level A wish completed.]

[Task completion rate is normal; petitioner satisfaction exceeds expectations.]

Congratulations on receiving a Grade A reward.

[Congratulations on acquiring Kei Nagai's ability: Ajin.]

Congratulations! You have received 3000 Wishing Points. Your current balance is 45900 points.

Because he was acutely aware of the immense impact revealing his demi-human identity would have on his life, he was willing to do anything to eliminate this ability.

This extreme rationality resulted in the final number of Wish Points being even higher than the reward for completing an S-rank!

These points are now almost enough to satisfy Rhodes' second step plan.

After all, the abilities he wants to acquire in that world might require an unimaginable number of points.

And that's not all...

Hovering in the sky, these are strange beasts that resemble natural disasters and can only be seen by demi-humans.

That was a gigantic, jet-black dragon that covered almost the entire city of Tokyo!

Kei Nagai was actually resurrected and activated his demi-human bloodline at the moment of his birth, and IBM particles have been growing in his body for the past ten years!

One prayer, and decades of concentrated IBM particles, caused his IBM capabilities to surge once again!

"Now, it's time to go see her~"

-

"Well then, I'll head off work now."

Ignoring the owner's tentative attempts to persuade her to stay, Yoko Tainaka suppressed her disgust and walked out of the convenience store with a blank expression.

The streetlights were already on, and couples were already boldly kissing on the side of the street, while she just walked wearily with her head down.

As I passed a cake shop, I couldn't help but peek out the window and gaze quietly inside.

A mother is happily choosing a cake for her lovely daughter, while the father watches with a grin, ready to pay at any moment.

They were seen like that, without even realizing that the other person had left sometime earlier.

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally snapped out of her daze, turned around, and left, utterly dejected.

While waiting at a traffic light, the conversation of two brothers next to her caught her attention.

"Hey, have you seen that video?"

"Nonsense, that handsome uncle who claims to be the savior of demi-humans... To be honest, I never thought that those demi-humans were actually so miserable in private. After seeing those scenes, I had nightmares every night."

"Actually, I didn't care about them before, and I even envied their immortality. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing I'm not a demi-human."

"Yeah... Damn it, some trolls have popped up in the comments section again, saying that guy is just a clown trying to get attention. Seriously, don't force me to use my box weapon!"

"Every time I see these idiots, I wish I had the ability to shoot them through the screen!"

Tainaka Yoko quietly pricked up her ears.

Demi-humans...saviors...what are they talking about?

The two brothers continued their lively conversation.

"Don't you think this uncle's speech is incredibly captivating? It even makes us normal people feel an urge to follow him!"

"That's the charm, that's the charm. Isn't that German guy the same?"

"Moreover, he truly is like a saint, standing up for those demi-humans who have no relation to him, even without any personal gain!"

"He's really talented; even YouTube can't block his videos! Should we make a fan-made video or vlog to help spread his message further?"

The older brother gestured to his phone, which was constantly recording, and smiled smugly.

What do you think I'm doing?

The younger brother looked at his older brother's phone and suddenly asked a question as a reflex.

"Brother, you got a new phone! What about your old one...?"

Snapped--

"You fucking idiot, we're fighting for a great humanitarian cause, not making a commercial!"

The younger brother, clutching his aching forehead, said with a wronged expression.

"Sorry, brother, I'm just used to it."

Suddenly, the older brother looked at Yoko Tainaka, his eyes lit up, and he went up to interview her.

"Hello, what are your thoughts on demi-human saviors?"

Yoko Tainaka's eyes were gloomy, and she gave a self-deprecating smile.

"I don't understand demi-humans, and I don't believe in the existence of a savior."

"Sorry, I have something to do, I have to go now."

Before the other party could reply, Tainaka Yoko hurriedly grabbed her bag and ran off, leaving the two brothers standing there staring at each other in bewilderment.

She ran wildly through the street, constantly wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
