Shirasaka rolled his eyes at her, then pulled her back in the direction they had just come from.

Now that this guy has been rescued, it's time to take them away. Otherwise, whether official people come looking for them or those cultists or mercenaries come looking for them, it will be troublesome to take them with us.

It would be better to keep the initiative in his own hands as much as possible. If he took Nanashiki Mio and Asano Chiya with him during the battle, he would not be able to guarantee their safety.

"No, I won't. Shirasaka-san, you've been so nice to me, how could I possibly do that?"

Shaking her head like a rattle, Nanashiki Mio's voice became noticeably louder when she said this, as if she was afraid that Shirasaka wouldn't believe her.

She knew very well that Shirasaka did this to save her, and even the unprecedented life she had finally experienced was due to the boy in front of her.

As for the fact that killing is wrong and illegal, this is something that Nanashiki Mio has never cared about from the beginning.

Bullying is also wrong, but I haven't seen those who bullied her being punished. If the rules cannot protect her, then she naturally won't take the so-called rules seriously.

Nanashi Mio can still tell who is good to her.

"That's all, don't ask so many questions, just pretend nothing happened. When Asano Chiye wakes up, don't tell her what happened here."

Shirasaka took Nanashiki Mio back to the previous room, dragged out the hidden Asano Chiya who was still sleeping soundly, and then nodded to Nanashiki Mio and gave her instructions.

Chapter 52: The Contract is Not Established

While Asano Chiye was still asleep, Shirasaka walked directly towards the kidnapper leader who was tied up by him.

After searching around but not finding any suitable tools, Shirasaka could only swing his hand and slap the bearded face.

After two crisp slaps, the kidnapper leader, who was knocked unconscious by Shirasaka with the handle of his knife, finally opened his eyes weakly.

Shirasaka just tied up his broken arm with a rope, and there was no other medical treatment. The fact that he is still alive shows that he is indeed physically strong.

Even so, the man's face was pale and bloodless at the moment, as if he was about to die in the next second.

"Good morning, Mr. Kidnapper. It's time to get up and answer the teacher's questions."

Shirasaka smiled as he placed the kitchen knife on the neck of the kidnapper who was already tied up, but his words revealed a hint of coldness.

The man who was suddenly awakened was in a trance for a long time before he seemed to have finally regained his memory before he fell into a coma. There was a bit more fear in his eyes when he looked at Shirasaka.

"No, don't kill me. I'm just doing something for money."

The man's voice became hoarse and weak due to dehydration and anemia, but he still pleaded urgently.

Judging from Nanashiki Mio who appeared next to Shirasaka, there was definitely no hope for those people from the Hypothesis Cult. Now the only thing the man could hope for was what role he could still play for Shirasaka.

Otherwise, judging from the decisive killing method of the killing god in front of him, it would be a big problem whether he could keep this small door.

"That's not what I want to ask. How much do you know about the Secret Cult of False Words?"

Shirasaka shook his head. No matter what the reason was, the fact that he kidnapped and even wanted to kill Asano Chiya was a fact. Shirasaka didn't want to know the hidden story behind it. If it was wrong, it was wrong.

What he wanted to know from this guy at the moment was only about the secret religion of false words. The guy before was too crazy to get anything out of him, but the one in front of him probably didn't have such a firm belief.

"I know. I've worked with this church many times and I know many of their secrets."

The tied-up man answered Shirasaka's question eagerly. He was very clear about his current situation. If he couldn't prove his worth, he had no doubt that the boy in front of him, whose face still showed youthfulness, would cut his neck with the kitchen knife in his hand.

"for example?"

Shirasaka narrowed his eyes. Judging from the man's reaction, no matter what he asked, he would definitely say that he knew. But it was unclear whether he truly knew the truth or was just making up a lie to survive.

"The guys from the False Words Cult have official connections. At least there must be someone high up in the Shenbin City police department who is their associate. Otherwise, every kidnapping we do wouldn't be so brazen. As long as we don't cause a large-scale disturbance, they'll suppress it for us."

Knowing that this might be the only chance to prove his worth, the man could only tell some of the secrets he knew. In order to gain Shirasaka's trust, he had to tell some convincing truths first.

"And then, who is it, what position, and what is its name?"

Shirasaka pinched his chin. This was consistent with Kunou Mozi's previous guess. Their previous conversation also confirmed this. At least it showed that he was not lying at the moment.

"I'm not sure about that. The only person I had contact with was the man from before."

Shaking his head, the kidnapper leader knew that lying at this time would be a dead end. The birth of a lie meant that he would have to make up more lies to cover it up. He did not think he had the talent in this area, so it was better to tell the truth.

"Oh... what about the other things about the Secret Cult of False Words? Continue."

Shirasaka narrowed his eyes, as if he already knew the answer, and continued to ask for useful information.

"If I tell you, will you let me go? How do I know if you'll kill me to silence me after you've exhausted my usefulness?"

"Tsk, bargaining, I hate doing this the most."

Facing the man who suddenly stopped talking and turned to confirm something with her, Shirasaka showed a look of embarrassment on his face. He kept gesturing at the man's neck with the kitchen knife in his hand, as if he was struggling with something.

"How about this? Answer me one more question, and once you're sure you won't lie to me, I'll promise you that if you tell me everything you know, I'll let you go. How about that?"

After seeming to hesitate for a long time, Shirasaka finally sighed and looked at the man in front of her as if she had compromised.

Judging from his behavior, he is a veteran. He will definitely not tell everything until he is sure whether he will be let go. After all, it is a matter of life and death, and people must take it seriously.

"From what you said before, you've helped this church before? Were they all kidnappings?"

After finishing his own words, Shirasaka didn't care whether he agreed or not and asked what he wanted to ask first.

"Yes, it's been like this since a month ago. The church people gave us photos and addresses, and we just went to capture the person. We've done it three times before, and this is the fourth time."

The kidnapper leader nodded. He did not lie about this matter. The main reason was that this was something that could be easily investigated, and he did not dare to make any fuss about it.

He also didn't expect that the things that had gone smoothly before would fail today and he encountered a monster like Baisaka. His professional mercenary team was like a group of underage children in front of him and couldn't even fight back.

"Well, you were doing this kind of thing a month ago. I see."

Shirasaka nodded, then stood up, took out the kitchen knife from his backpack again, and put it against the neck of the kidnapper leader.

"You, what are you going to do?"

When the kidnapper leader noticed Shirasaka's actions, his eyes almost popped out. He knew he hadn't lied to him, so why would he do such a thing?

"Don't you want to know more about the Secret Cult of False Words? If you kill me, you'll lose everything."

"And you just said that as long as I tell you everything I know, you will let me go. How can you go back on your word?"

He questioned Shirasaka loudly. He just couldn't accept this ending. Why did this guy want to silence him when he hadn't even said a word?

"I told you that, but you haven't told me anything else you know yet. You just proved that you didn't lie to me."

"So, the contract is not valid."

Shirasaka smiled, and in the man's desperate eyes, took his life with a knife.

In fact, ever since he said that the only person he had contact with was the follower of the Hidden Words Esoteric Sect, Shirasaka already knew that he probably wouldn't be able to dig anything out here, and all he had to do was confirm what he was interested in.

As for the rest, Baisaka didn't have the time to argue with him. If he had the free time, he could go back and brush up another round of Chang'an.

That last question, rather than proving that he had not lied to him, was actually just Shirasaka squeezing out the last bit of his usefulness. Since he had already told him, he could only let him go quickly.

Another hundred experience points were credited, and Shirasaka turned around with a smile, meeting the subtle gaze of Nanashiki Mio who had been silently watching all this.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't lie to him. Do you think there's something wrong with what I said?"

Shirasaka shrugged his shoulders, showing no awareness of having just killed a living person, as if he had accidentally stepped on an ant on the roadside.

"No... I just think it would be unfortunate to be your enemy."

Nanashiki Mio watched Shirasaka interrogating the man as if he was just joking. If she put her own identity aside, her only evaluation of Shirasaka would be that he was terrifying.

This person seems to have no so-called moral constraints and is not a decent character at all. Both his methods and actions are cruel and ruthless.

But he was extra nice to people around her. This contrast made her even more confused about the boy in front of her.

"Yes, that's a good thing. After all, anyone who can become my enemy is definitely not a good person."

He picked up Chiya Asano, who was still sleeping like a pig, and Shirasaka raised his eyebrows at Mio Nanashiki, indicating that she should follow him back. Then he walked towards the door without paying attention to the mess behind him.

Originally, Shirasaka was thinking about burning down the broken garage to destroy the evidence, but after taking a look at the concrete structure surrounding it, he gave up the idea.

It turns out that movies are all lies. It is not that easy to set a fire without preparation. It is better to run away first.

As for what to do if someone discovered this place, Shirasaka could only say that it had nothing to do with him. These guys were not good people anyway, and they did things like kidnapping. If they died, it would be a lot less trouble.

As long as Chiya Asano and Mio Nanashiki don't tell anyone, who knows what happened here?

At most, I would just say hello to Kagami Ichinose afterwards. At least this can be considered as getting rid of an evil for the people, right?

It was good enough that they didn't send him a banner. If they still came to cause trouble for him, Shirasaka felt that no matter whether it was the official or the traitor of the Xuyan Esoteric Cult hiding in the official, they would not do such a stupid thing.

Chapter 53 Reward Time

In fact, Shirasaka often envies Asano Chiya, this living pig.

After all, she didn't have to do anything, just took a nap, and the kidnapping ended just like that. There was no danger and she didn't have to take any responsibility.

The living pig is like this. Shirasaka only needs to fight and kill in the basement and fight the cultists to the death, but she has a lot to think about when she sleeps.

Even when Shirasaka brought her back home, she was still immersed in a sweet dream, chewing in the air from time to time, as if she had eaten something delicious.

Nanashiki Mio followed Shirasaka obediently, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was not only curious but also a bit of admiration.

How to say it, this was the first time she got a response when she called for help. Shirasaka was like a god descending from the sky to save her and also gave her hope to survive. How could she not be grateful to him in her heart?

Even if Shirasaka told her to jump from Asano Chiya's house now, Nanashiki Mio would do it without complaint.

"Wake up, pig. How long are you going to sleep in?"

After dragging Chiya Asano to the doorstep of her house, Shirasaka finally couldn't bear it anymore and pinched the delicate nose of the snoring girl, causing her to gasp and open her eyes filled with confusion.

"Hey? Have you had a midnight snack?"

The first thing he did after waking up was to ask if it was time for supper. Asano Chiya wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked at Shirasaka with a look that could only be described as thimbleful.

"Eat your head, how long have you been sleeping? Do you know when you get home?"

She had no intention of explaining to Chiya Asano that she had been kidnapped. Since she seemed to have no understanding of her previous experience, Shirasaka simply skipped the explanation.

It’s better to have less trouble than more. It’s not a bad thing for her anyway.

"Did I fall asleep on the way back? But I remember I was still talking to you..."

Scratching his head in confusion, Chiye Asano opened the door and muttered as if he couldn't remember anything.

"Yes, did you forget you had a few drinks? You fell asleep in the middle of the meal."

Shirasaka winked at Nanashiki Mio who was standing beside him, and the latter immediately nodded like a stupid bird.

"Is that so? Then why are you so dirty? And you too."

Asano Chiya scratched his face, as if he had some understanding of how much he could not hold his liquor. He no longer doubted Shirasaka's question, but turned to look at the clothes worn by the two people in front of him and asked another question.

There were black stains on Shirasaka's body, and no one knew what they were formed of. Nanashiki Mio next to her looked like she was dug out of mud, and her sailor uniform had almost turned muddy.

"She fell down, and when I tried to pull her up, I ended up falling into the water as well."

Shirasaka made up the lie with an expressionless face, not feeling the slightest bit guilty about deceiving his companions.

Asano Chiye raised her eyebrows when she heard this, then glanced at Nanashiki Mio beside her. Seeing that she was still nodding her head, she didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, it wasn't you who fell, so why do you care so much?

"Why don't you hurry back and shower and change clothes? And Nanashiki Mio, you should wash your own clothes. I'll only provide you with a change of clothes. I'll charge you... 20,000 yen for one set, the price for acquaintances. Cash or scan code?"

She glanced at the two people in front of her with disdain, and then, Asano Chiya's eyes lit up as if she had thought of some business opportunity. She came to Shirasaka's side and pointed at Nanashiki Mio's clothes. The expression on her face betrayed her.

Of course she knew that Nanashiki Mio definitely couldn't afford this money, and the real payment would depend on Shirasaka, the God of Wealth.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay you later. Let her stay with you for a few days first. Is that okay?"

Shirasaka sighed helplessly and had no intention of bargaining with Asano Chiya. After waving his hand, he raised his eyebrows at Nanashiki Mio.

"You can stay with her first. I'll call you tomorrow when you go to school."

After settling Nanashiki Mio down, Shirasaka dragged his heavy feet back home and took off his blood-stained clothes.

This day was more tiring than before, but fortunately, the more enemies we encountered, the richer the rewards we gained.

The first thing was that as a bonus, there was a box of cash that appeared in his inventory for some reason. After Shirasaka roughly counted it, he sighed again and said that murder and arson were the real gold belts.

The 3 million yen Kagami Ichinose had given him was already a huge sum of money, but after killing a few mercenaries, he got more than 20 million yen.

Is it so easy to make money?

Now that her financial crisis had been completely resolved, Shirasaka happily took out the money from the box. After hesitating for a moment, she stuffed it all under the bed.

As for the box, Shirasaka seemed to have thought of something and put it back.

Since a box of money only takes up one slot, it doesn't make sense that a box of bricks should be split up, right?
