As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

"If that's the case, why did you want to come to Sakurajima?" Yuanhui asked with some interest, "You're not here to escape disaster as the rumors say, right?"

"Of course not." Sha Lan's nose wrinkled slightly, and she snorted a little coquettishly. "As for Dai Li, I am the only one who causes trouble for others. How could anyone dare to mess with me?"

"As for why you came to this island country in the far east." The little hand that was flipping through the documents stopped, and Sharan raised her head, her big blue eyes looking straight at Yuanhui -

"Of course it's for you."

"Yuan Jun, no, Judas." The petal-like lips trembled slightly, like ripples on the water.

Saran just called out his name.

"If I tell you that this entire Saint Eden Academy was built just for you, would you be surprised?"

St. Eden Academy is a prestigious school that has been rooted in Sakurajima for nearly two hundred years. It is one of the best-rated and most well-known schools in Sakurajima.

Such a school was actually established just to allow one person to enroll.

If someone were to make such a claim, it would definitely be regarded as the ravings of a madman.

But Sharan's expression when she said this was quite serious, without a trace of joking at all.

From the interactions over the past few days, it seems that although Saran Birdlu has a high self-esteem and a strong desire to win, she is not actually a person who likes to joke.

This is completely opposite to Mizukami Kana.

"If it weren't for you, how could Gabriel, a seraph, be the principal of a mortal school? Why don't I care about Dai Li being my eldest daughter, but come to this island country to be a small student council president?"

Sharan said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"You are so important to us."

Her eyes, as blue as the sky, looked straight into Yuanhui's eyes.

"If we don't have a clear understanding of this, we will be in trouble."

As the two looked at each other, the air suddenly became quite quiet.

It was as if even this space held its breath.

Maybe it took a long time, or maybe it only took a breath.

"...Do you really want to destroy this planet?" The young man sighed. "Are you so impatient?"

"Judas, I find that you have a very wrong understanding, that is, without us, humans can continue to live and work on this planet."

“This idea is very wrong.”

Simply putting down the documents in her hand, Sharan stood up from the chair, walked in front of the boy, raised her head slightly, and let herself be completely reflected in the other's eyes.

"Even without us, this planet can no longer hold on."

"Too much life has died on this planet, and the dead air it produced has long since filled up the interior of the planet."

Sharan still had that indifferent expression, but the words that came out of her mouth could only be described as "horrible".

"Thousands of years ago, only the most powerful monsters were able to break through the mantle and crust, allowing part of themselves to appear on the surface and come into contact with the extremely backward humans at that time."

"Now, it often takes just a simple volcanic eruption or earthquake to allow the monster to escape its cage."

"This is a sign that the earth is already overwhelmed."

Whether it is an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, they are actually only limited to the earth's crust and have no way of reaching the mantle, let alone the center of the earth.

But even so, there is still some weirdness that escapes from it...

This actually means one thing.

That is, the concentration of dead air in the earth's crust has reached the threshold where strangeness occurs.

The crust is only the thinnest layer on the planet. Since it has already collapsed, then the time until the surface collapses is estimated to be...

"Judas, you are still a human being, so I naturally understand how you feel now."

"But I hope you know that, regardless of whether there is a Revelation or not, the demise of humanity in this world has actually entered the countdown."

"unless……"

"Unless they have mastered the technology to travel between planets before then, escaped from this planet that has gradually become unsuitable for human survival, and found another new home that has not been destroyed by the death energy."

"But as far as I know..."

Sharan Bird did not continue speaking, but just shook her head slightly.

Obviously, compared to the sky above their heads, the human beings in this world are still more attached to the land under their feet.

Saran quietly observed the young man in front of her.

There was no surprise or despair on his face. It was probably because he had expected these things.

But even if it was something that was expected, when it was actually confirmed, it was still inevitable to feel a little disappointed.

Gnashing his teeth, the student council president in front of Yuanhui slowly lowered his knees...

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t about trying to cheer the other person up!

This is just, just the payment you deserve today.

Anyway!

It’s not the first time anyway…

Uh~~

52. Power, Wealth, Women, Strength

Even if the [Apocalypse] does not start, the human beings in this world have already embarked on the road to the end. If they want to escape the fate of destruction, they need to climb the technological ladder...

On the way home, Yuanhui kept thinking about this.

But when he walked to Building 13 of Chuanglong Apartment, he found, not surprisingly, a man and a woman standing in front of the apartment building.

Although they were not wearing police uniforms but plain clothes, their cold aura exposed their identities.

After seeing Yuanhui, the two men exchanged glances with each other, and then walked towards Yuanhui.

"Hello, we are from the Metropolitan Police Department." After arriving in front of Yuanhui, without waiting for the young man to ask questions, the tall man took out an ID card and handed it to Yuanhui with a friendly attitude, allowing him to check it.

Yuan Hui took the certificate and saw the cherry blossom badge representing the police, and also saw the name on it -

Is that Takenori Matsuki?

Yuan Hui glanced at the certificate and then returned it to the tall police officer in front of him.

"Has there been any new twists in the murder and dismemberment case of Morikami Yoshiko?" He said this deliberately, while also showing a little caution and a bit of hostility at the right time.

Of course he knew what the other party was here for, but he couldn't show it openly.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have to give Kujo Rin away?

Although Kujo Rin probably wouldn't care too much about such things, Genki couldn't do it.

This is a question of morality.

"No." Inspector Matsuki naturally saw that the boy in front of him seemed to be hiding something, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he seemed to be somewhat appreciative.

He has already looked at the other party's information.

Yuan Hui's file shows that he is an orphan without a father or a mother and grew up in an orphanage.

But he did not give up on himself. Instead, he worked part-time while studying hard, and was eventually admitted to St. Eden Academy with excellent grades.

There is no doubt that this is a perfect example of a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Not only that, from the previous Morikami Yoshiko case, we can see that he has a calm personality and his psychological quality is excellent to a terrifying degree.

Moreover, after becoming a soul binder, Yuanhui neither behaved arrogantly nor used this power to commit crimes. Instead, he went to school and went home as usual, showing extremely good moral qualities.

Including Inspector Matsuki, the higher-ups in the Minato Metropolitan Police Department are becoming more and more satisfied with Genki.

How long has it been since they saw such good seedlings?

Inspector Songmu twisted his mouth, as if trying hard to produce a friendly smile, but unfortunately he was not very successful.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

"But if we say it outside, it might be a little inconvenient."

After that, he pointed to the apartment behind him:

"If you wish—"

"Do you want to go to your house and talk?"

……

……

"Sorry, I don't have the habit of drinking tea or coffee, so there is only plain water at home."

After Yuanhui placed two glasses of water in front of the two police officers, he said politely.

When they walked into his house, the two police officers in front of him even put on clean shoe covers, showing very good etiquette, so he couldn't be too rude on his part.

"It's okay, I just like drinking plain water." Inspector Songmu said nonchalantly.

The female police officer next to her nodded in agreement.

After performing the necessary etiquette, Yuanhui sat opposite the two of them, showing a look of slight curiosity.

"So, could you two please explain your purpose?"

"Apart from the matter of Miko Morikami, I really can't think of anything else that's worthy of two police officers coming to my house."

"Oh, that's wrong." Inspector Songmu showed a look of seeing through everything, "I wonder if Gen-kun has any impression of this thing called [Lika Doll]?"

After hearing this question, Yuan Hui's face changed drastically, and that little bit of curiosity immediately turned into full vigilance, but he neither called out Rika immediately, nor kicked the two out. Instead, he stared at Inspector Songmu with his eyes, as if waiting for his explanation.

Seeing such a mature and restrained reaction, Inspector Songmu felt relieved and looked up to Yuanhui. He did not beat around the bush and said in a friendly tone, "Don't worry, I told you before, this is not a bad thing."

"That [Lika Doll] is a monster under the jurisdiction of our Metropolitan Police Department, but we are not here to recover it."

"By the way, do you know what [weird] is?"

Yuanhui shook his head.

"Well, I'll start from the beginning."

Afterwards, Inspector Matsugi gave Genki some knowledge, which was basically the same as what Genki had said to Morikami Nozomi before.

"Although monsters are generally the enemy of humans, humans can bind their souls and call them their arms. Such people are called [Soul Binders]."

After saying all this, Inspector Song Mu took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then looked at Yuan Hui with burning eyes——

"Yuan Jun, you are just that kind of person."

Yuan Hui did not respond directly to this sentence, but asked: "Can I think so--"

“You are here to recruit me.”

Talking to smart people saves effort.

Inspector Songmu smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's why we are here."

"...Then what can I gain from this?" Yuan Hui's eyes flickered between the two police officers' faces. "The glory of fighting for the survival of mankind?"

"Of course, this is what you deserve." Inspector Songmu saw the doubt in Yuanhui's face, "But we can't just give this little treatment to heroes."

Inspector Matsugi said this and looked at the female police officer next to him who had been secretly watching Yuanhui.

The latter naturally understood what he meant, and gently took over the topic -

"If you are willing to join the Metropolitan Police Department, we will immediately deposit 100 million yen into your card as a 'settlement allowance', and also give you a high-end villa and luxury car in the port area."

"In addition, we will form a professional support team around you to provide all kinds of support, including psychological stress relief and physical release."

"You will be immediately promoted to the position of Superintendent and granted the same powers and treatment, and your promotion will be many times faster than that of ordinary police officers."

"Most importantly, there are also resources within the police system that are only open to the insiders. You can use your own achievements to exchange for relevant resources, so that the spirits you bind will gradually become stronger, thus making yourself more powerful."

Power, wealth, women, strength.

After joining the Metropolitan Police Department, all these needs seemed to be met.

Yuan Hui was not deceived by these things, but continued to ask calmly: "So, what should I do?"

After all, there is no free lunch in the world.
