Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

Obviously, she didn't have the superhuman hearing like Kitami Natsuki, so she naturally didn't know that what Shirasaka and Ichinose Shizuka had just talked about was about her rotten father, who she didn't know how to evaluate.

At this moment, Shirasaka thought back and realized that she seemed to have targeted her father quite thoroughly. It would have been fine if he had been burned to death in front of her, but she also killed the evil spirit he turned into with her own hands. But now, even the monster that turned into his corpse was not spared. Was this a fate between her and him?

After secretly complaining in her heart, Shirasaka had no intention of discussing this matter with Nanashiki Mio. She had no good feelings towards her rotten father, and mentioning him would only mess with her. Anyway, she could just let her wait at the door. It shouldn't take much time to deal with such a small-time jerk on her own.

Just imagine, even Shizuka Ichinose was able to suppress the opponent, which was enough to show how weak the opponent was. Without the support of Chang'an, this kind of thing could most likely be killed by a brick.

There was no need to inform Nanashiki Mio about such a simple matter. She finally looked a little happier, and Shirasaka was happy to see her cheerful look. At least it was much better than her previous dejected look as if she was about to hang herself at her doorstep.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing that Shirasaka's gaze stayed on her, Nanashiki Mio, who thought that there was something she could help with, raised her head and looked at Shirasaka with a hopeful expression. For the first time, her eyes, which had never seen any brilliance for many years, flashed with expectation.

"Um, how about you go buy me some food next door? I got up a little early, and you didn't have breakfast, right?"

He wanted to ask if he needed her help in any way, but after seeing Nanashiki Mio's eyes, Shirasaka could only swallow the words back and forced himself to find something for her to do.

It was just right, I could take this opportunity to get her out of the way, and the remaining time would be enough for me to finish dealing with the matters in the police station.

Shirasaka didn't even want to reveal his identity. He was considering whether he could rely on a mask and a cloak to operate, and he quickly confirmed the feasibility of such a thing.

Anyway, he had Ichinose Shizuka provided him with a location, and he also knew that the monster inside was not a powerful creature, so he could just sneak into the police station, kill the monster directly, and then leave.

No one will know that I did it by then. With my current agility which has reached six points, as long as I am cautious, it won't be particularly difficult to bypass surveillance and those irrelevant people.

In this way, can it be considered that one is barely hiding one's strength from outsiders?

Shirasaka is actually not the type of person who likes to play the pig and eat the tiger. After all, if you do this kind of thing too much, it is easy to really become a pig. So when he met Kitami Natsu before, he said whatever he wanted, but he still didn't trust the official.

The main thing is that there is really nothing trustworthy about the Japanese officials.

Although Shirasaka doesn't have to worry about being caught and sliced up because of the relationship with Ichinose Shizuka, it's not a good thing to be too much in the spotlight. It's better to have less trouble than more, right?

After making this plan, Shirasaka pinched his chin and had already thought about how to hide his identity to the greatest extent possible.

Soon, the taxi finally stopped near the Kamihama Police Station. Since Shirasaka had been here once before, he was not particularly unfamiliar with this place.

He took out some change from his pocket and gave it to Nanashiki Mio, instructing her to go buy him breakfast obediently. Then, Shirasaka walked into a corner, thought for a while, and then put on the shadow cloak.

Then, Shirasaka took out his cell phone and after carefully asking Ichinose Shizuka, he found out the location of the resurrected corpse.

The rest was easy to solve. Relying on a speed six times faster than that of an ordinary person, Shirasaka sneaked into the police station in front of him like an invisible ghost. The police officers on duty didn't even realize that someone was passing by them. They only felt a flash before their eyes, and Shirasaka had arrived at the morgue where Shizuka Ichinose was.

He found an empty corner and started to hide. After the shadow cloak took effect, Shirasaka finally had time to take a good look at what this so-called monster transformed from a corpse was.

Through the artist's mask he wore for safety reasons, Shirasaka finally saw the monster that was currently being surrounded by various talismans by Ichinose Shizuka. Simply by looking at the other party's shape that looked like a piece of rag floating in the air, it was impossible to tell what he used to look like. It even became a question whether he could still be called a human.

The twisted and charred body seemed to merge into a ghost face floating in the air. The flame that had been extinguished once again bloomed from its body. From a distance, it looked as hideous and terrifying as a burning evil ghost's head.

But, this is just how it looks. Apart from that, Shirasaka even feels that it is hard to say whether this thing can compare with Yamaubade. After all, if it can be controlled by Ichinose Shizuka's talisman and cannot break through the limitations of those things, then it can only be described as a dish no matter how you look at it.

After just a quick glance, Shirasaka didn't pay any more attention to it. Instead, he looked at the rest of the people staying in the morgue besides that thing.

In addition to Ichinose Shizuka, Shirasaka also saw two figures beside her. One was a man with glasses who looked somewhat familiar to Shirasaka, and the other was a middle-aged man with a pot belly wearing the badge of the inspector, who was obviously the highest-ranking official here.

After a quick search in his memory, with the help of his five points of intelligence, Shirasaka quickly remembered why he felt familiar with the man with glasses. After all, he was the one who let him go when he came in before, so it seemed like they had met once.

Apart from this, there were no other police officers present. It seemed that matters concerning monsters were not so well known even in this police station.

Holding his chin, Shirasaka glanced at the two people who were cautiously helping Ichinose Shizuka control the monster, but he didn't find anything noteworthy. It might be that the other party was hiding well, or it might be that he only stood at the door of the morgue for safety reasons and didn't go deeper, so he couldn't see more details.

In short, Shirasaka has not found any trace of the priest of the Hidden Words Cult who is hiding in the police station. It seems that it is not so easy for him to find the other party.

Shaking his head, Shirasaka paused for a moment, then decisively took out a rose thorn from his backpack.

Without any hesitation, Shirasaka raised his hand and threw the spike in his hand towards the monster that was still trying to attack the talismans around it. The huge force made the spike make a sound like a missile breaking through the air, and then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, it directly pierced the center of the roaring monster and nailed it to the wall behind it.

Chapter 103: Three No's Lying is Convenient

It's so simple to crush the monster in terms of numbers. Shirasaka doesn't think that he will appear with holy light like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and then pretend to introduce himself before solving the problem.

There's no need for me to be a hero and save the damsel in distress here, so I'd just kill her and run away.

Shirasaka, noticing the experience points coming in, did not forget to take another look at the monster's corpse. After confirming that it did not drop any extra items, he disappeared at the door in front of the three people who had just reacted and were looking at him.

After robbing the monster, you have to run away, otherwise what if someone catches up with you?

It was not until Shirasaka disappeared at the door of the morgue that the remaining three people reacted. After looking at each other, they finally realized what was going on.

"Is this someone sent by those people from the magic society?"

The leading police captain was the most confused one. First, a monster suddenly appeared in the police station under his jurisdiction. After all, he knew that such a thing existed and was mentally prepared. But he had just started to seal it, so how come someone came and stabbed it to death with a spear?

"No, the figure behind him is a man. Minister, have you ever seen a male member in the magical girl club on Shenbing's side?"

The man with glasses, who also had a look of surprise in his eyes, pushed up his black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his gaze fixed on the place where Shirasaka disappeared, and then he calmly replied to the inspector beside him.

Anyone could guess that this had nothing to do with the people from the magic society. Although those guys could also achieve the same abilities as him, they all needed the power of guardian spirits. But just now, there was obviously no sign of guardian spirits around, which meant that the mysterious man was simply using his physical strength to deliver such a blow.

Looking at the spike that had pierced through the entire wall of the morgue and was inserted straight into the wall, the man with glasses felt that if this thing was directed at anyone else present, the result would be the same.

Where did this humanoid monster come from?

But looking at the situation, it seems that no one present knows the other party's identity. Then why does he appear here and why does he attack this monster? It is difficult for people to guess the answer.

"Ms. Ichinose, do you know that guy just now?"

The man with glasses, who knew it was a pipe dream to catch up with the other party from the speed at which the other party left, looked at the three-no girl beside him. Now he could only hope that this girl with the identity of a demon ninja could give him and others some clues.

"Do not."

Ichinose Shizuka shook her head lightly, and after the initial surprise on her face and eyes faded away, she turned back into that icy look that didn't care about anything.

But in fact, whether it was the tools stuck in the wall or the cloak on the other party that she had just put on yesterday, they were all telling her an indisputable fact.

But when she thought that Shirasaka must have his reasons for doing this, Ichinose Shizuka decisively chose to help him hide this fact.

At this time, the advantages of "three nothings" were reflected. No one noticed that her expression was different from usual. After all, she had always had this face before, and all she had to do was maintain it as it was.

So, even though there was almost no precedent of lying before, Shizuka Ichinose was still not discovered when she tried to do so for the first time.

"That's going to be a tough one. First, a monster inexplicably appeared in the police station, causing chaos and scaring many officers. Now, a mysterious masked man has appeared. This is even more troublesome than the usual cases."

The man with glasses rubbed his temples. As long as it involves monsters, there are many more things to consider than usual. After all, these things will not talk to you about scientific principles. Many of their abilities and technologies are fucking anti-human.

"I don't care if you can handle this or not, but you need to write me a report right now. You also need to find out the identity of that guy who just came in, otherwise I won't be able to report this to the higher-ups."

The inspector wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was the most relaxed person here. He had no choice but to come to help Shizuka Ichinose deal with the monster. After all, as the one with the highest position in the police station, he must be responsible for these things and play a representative role.

But who knows if the monster will suddenly attack and kill people? Now someone has dealt with it for him, and the rest of the process is his strong point.

Anyway, as long as you don't put yourself in danger, what you need to do is easy to do.

He decisively handed the rest of the matters to his subordinates, straightened his uniform, and walked out of here decisively.

Look, under my wise and powerful leadership, I've resolved another crisis. I can put it on my resume and brag to those old guys about it.

Watching his boss leave, the police officer wearing glasses could only look at the girl with no information or credentials beside him with a look of help. Now he could only hope that she could bring him some clues, after all, she was the expert in this field.

"I've dealt with the monsters, and I'm off work."

Ignoring the police officer's pleading look, Ichinose Shizuka just tidied herself up and walked around him.

She had been pulled here temporarily because of an incident at the police station. Now that the problem was resolved, she could naturally leave.

In the huge morgue, in a blink of an eye, only the police officer who was left to clean up the mess was left. Looking at the sharp spike that had penetrated the wall, he fell into despair.

Who the hell could have investigated this?

-

Shirasaka rushed out of the police station like a phantom, took off his cloak and mask, and walked out from the corner again, as if he had never left, leisurely waiting for Nanashi Mio's return.

As for Ichinose Shizuka, he had already sent her his current location, so she would probably be here soon.

Shirasaka was completely confident in Ichinose Shizuka's reliability. He could hide what he had just done from others, but not from her. However, she would not betray him, so in the end, he only had to wait for her here and then give her a reasonable reason.

However, just as Shirasaka had expected, the monster seemed to be too weak, and all he got was only 150 experience points, which was almost the same as an ordinary hungry ghost.

There aren't even any drops, so it can only be considered an appetizer.

It was precisely because of this that Shirasaka became even more certain that this might just be a simple bait. Although he had taken the bait, the fisherman had not gotten the desired result.

After all, who could have thought that he would be so shameless as to go up and kill that thing and then run away without stopping at all?

If it was Sherlock Holmes who came here, there would be nothing I could do about it.

After briefly summarizing the gains he had made on this trip, before Shirasaka could continue to think about where the priest of the Hidden Words Cult was hiding, a young girl had already walked up to him.

"Is there anything taboo?"

Ichinose Shizuka came close to Shirasaka, a hint of confusion flashed between her icy eyes, and then without any preparation, she went straight to the point and asked the boy in front of her.

She didn't understand why Shirasaka chose to hide his identity to get rid of the monster. It was obvious that only herself and the official members were present. After thinking about it, it could only be that he was deliberately avoiding the official people.

"I just don't want to get involved with them. You've heard what Kitami Xiaxia said. It's very troublesome to cooperate with this group of guys. I don't want to play any political games with them."

Shirasaka waved his hands. Even if the Hypocrisy Cult wasn't involved, he still didn't want to have anything to do with official people. After all, although there was no risk of being used as a guinea pig, he would still be subject to a lot of restrictions and unable to freely choose what to do. He didn't want to be tied down like that at all.

At least, if it got to the authorities, how could he casually attack the cultists in the future? Wouldn't he have to declare it first and then let the law punish them?

After going through this whole process, Shirasaka was overwhelmed, not to mention that neither the heads nor the experience would be his own, which was a huge loss.

Therefore, it is possible to cooperate with Ichinose Shizuka, who has an official background, after all, she is the middleman to act as his negotiator, but if Shirasaka himself comes forward, he will definitely be reluctant.

"I understand. I'll handle your future affairs for you. I won't reveal anything about you unless it's absolutely necessary. Don't worry about that."

As expected of Shirasaka's most trusted companion, Shirasaka never had to worry about him being reliable. He didn't even have to explain much, and Ichinose Shizuka nodded, as if she had figured out why he made such a choice, and took the initiative to take on the subsequent responsibilities for him.

"Hey, Ichinose, have you ever thought about what kind of career you want to pursue after you graduate from school?"

Looking at the girl in front of him with an expression of great regret, Shirasaka finally couldn't control himself and asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"Huh? No."

"Then could you consider being my secretary? I promise you'll have great benefits!"

Chapter 104: There is such a setting?

Ichinose Kagami didn't take Shirasaka's obvious joke seriously. Even if she was in such a miserable state, she would never fall to the point of working as Shirasaka's secretary.

And more often than not, she also knew that the relationship between her and Shirasaka was more of a model of mutual trust between companions, rather than a simple exchange of interests.

"To the gold mines?"

Choosing to go straight to the point and get straight to the other topic, Ichinose Kagami has already started to sort out the route to the abandoned gold mine, waiting for Shirasaka to nod.

"No rush, wait for a key figure to come back."

Shirasaka waved his hands. He was indeed just joking with Ichinose Kagami. She was a real rich lady. Even if she was crazy, there was no way she would be his secretary, right?

"If you're at the police station, please keep an eye out for any suspicious activity there. I suspect this monster attack is the work of the guy hiding inside. He's probably trying to lure me out and test me."

The time waiting for Nanashiki Mio to come back was a bit boring. After hesitating for a moment, Shirasaka decided to tell the girl in front of him the real reason why he did that before.

It’s one thing that she doesn’t ask, but it’s another thing whether you trust her or not.

"Well, I will pay attention and tell you as soon as there is any situation."

Upon hearing this, Kagami Ichinose also raised her head seriously. Shirasaka had never concealed from her the fact that there was a traitor in the police station from the beginning, and what was happening now could indeed be explained by Shirasaka's statement.

From this point of view, the priest was quite capable and his hidden skills were indeed powerful. At least when Shizuka Ichinose recalled it, she didn't find anything wrong in her memory.

However, after this incident, the unsuccessful opponent will surely plan the next conspiracy. As long as the priest of the Secret Cult of False Words cannot be found, all this will probably not stop.

"Shirasaka-kun... I'm back. They didn't have the fried tofu you wanted, so I went to a place farther away to buy it. Didn't keep you waiting too long?"

It was not until this time that Nanashiki Mio, who had been sent away by Shirasaka, finally came back, panting while carrying a bunch of food in her hands. It was obvious that the farther place she mentioned might really be some distance away from here.

But even though her face was flushed from the intense exercise, the girl's tone was full of joy, as if this could prove her worth.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Shirasaka was full of anticipation. She looked like a cute puppy waiting for praise from its owner, and Shirasaka almost couldn't help but touch her head.

But after seeing Ichinose Kagami next to Shirasaka, Nanashiki's expression quickly faded from her face. Timidity and cowardice returned to her, and almost subconsciously, she hid beside Shirasaka.

It's okay when facing other strangers, but it's only with Ichinose Kagami. Perhaps it's because the oppressive feeling brought by Sanwu is too strong, every time Nanashiki Mio sees this young lady, she always feels like she can't raise her head.

"No, thank you for bringing me breakfast. Now that everyone is here, let's go."

Shirasaka thought that Nanashiki Mio's social phobia had come back and did not take her reaction to heart. Instead, he took the breakfast from the girl and then made the decision to set off with a smile.

Ichinose Shizuka and Nanashiki Mio have also met each other, so Shirasaka doesn't need any extra introduction. For him now, the matter of the abandoned gold mine is obviously more important.

Not to mention a dozen evil spirits, at least I should be able to give myself a surprise, right? It would be even better if there was a way to solve the funding problem.
