Chapter 180: The worst spirit Tokisaki Kurumi, the spirit from the human perspective

"Cosplayer, spirit form, anime character appearing in reality..."

"Ara ara, it seems something very wrong has happened to me."

"These words, they should mean what I understand, right?"

"Do I look like Tokisaki Kurumi? Of course I do, because I am her."

Tokisaki Kurumi's smile remained elegant, but the temperature in her eyes was quietly dropping.

If what she heard was really as she thought, then this world was not only not her world, but even she herself was just a character created by someone.

In other words, everything she had experienced, her pain, her obsession, her madness... were all just stories arranged by humans?

Her fingertips rested lightly on her lips, her smile undiminished, but deep in those different-colored pupils, a cold look appeared.

But soon, she restrained this emotion.

The most important thing now was to understand the information about this world.

As for how to understand it... she tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and walked lightly toward a remote place.

However, until she turned into an empty alley, there was still no one behind her.

"Should I say my charm has decreased, or that Da Xia in this world is too safe?"

She whispered to herself, her tone carrying a hint of distress.

"Clearly in the original world, someone would have followed."

Tokisaki Kurumi sighed somewhat distressedly, her fingertips gently curling her hair.

She had originally wanted to get the information she wanted in this way, and by the way, replenish some "lifespan" for herself after getting the information.

After all, this was the world of the "Creator."

And, listening to what those people meant, it seemed that life from anime had appeared in reality before.

So this world was definitely not as calm and peaceful as it looked.

A flash of thought crossed her eyes, and then she returned to that relaxed smile.

"Since this doesn't work, I can only change to another way..."

Her gaze swept across the neon lights flickering at the street corner, and her vision finally landed on the towering skyscrapers in the distance. Behind those glass curtain walls, there should be quite a few people who mastered wealth and resources.

However, she had to distinguish who was an employee and who was a boss.

She didn't want to involve innocent ordinary people.

But those guys who sat on huge wealth, among ten, maybe only one could barely be considered innocent; even, this proportion might be lower.

Japan was like this, and Da Xia, perhaps it was about the same.

And in her world, she heard that the workload in Da Xia was far greater than in Japan, and the working hours were longer, and the wages were not high. She didn't know if it was true or false.

Or maybe it was just her world that was like this, and the real world was not.

"In short, starting with them won't have any psychological burden."

She shook her head and said softly.

Facing a completely unknown world, her mood was actually not as calm as she appeared.

It was just that she was not an ordinary student after all, and what she had experienced far exceeded people of her same age; so, even coming to a completely strange and suspected "Creator" world, she could calm down and think about problems.

But that anxiety about a strange world was not so easy to eliminate.

"Is this the reason you found me?"

"I don't look like I have money, do I?"

Zhang Tian stared at the young girl sitting elegantly in front of him, his lips twitching slightly. He didn't think he looked like he had money at all.

Tokisaki Kurumi pursed her lips lightly, her fingertips elegantly resting on her chin, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

"According to your colleagues, your father owns more than one enterprise in Hangzhou."

"And..."

She pointed to the luxurious decoration of Zhang Tian's home where they were now.

"Okay, there is indeed a little bit."

Zhang Tian had nothing to say.

Although in his view his home wasn't considered very rich, it indeed exceeded the vast majority of people in Da Xia.

As for whether the father who started this family business was innocent, he also had self-knowledge, so he wouldn't talk about it.

You couldn't find a few clean ones who could do this to this extent. His father was still considered good, at least he didn't lack what he should give.

Otherwise, the Tianshu Bureau wouldn't have chosen him for the transaction, and it would be impossible to take out the Nika Fruit.

"But even so, you should find my dad instead of me?"

"No, wait."

Zhang Tian suddenly reacted, his expression becoming subtle.

"Your purpose in following me wouldn't be to find my home by following the vine, and then threaten my dad, right?"

"Did you never think that I might live alone?"

Tokisaki Kurumi tilted her head slightly, a curve of elegant arc on her lips.

"To me, there is no difference, is there?"

"There is indeed no difference."

"After all, I am his son, so I am not an innocent person either."

Zhang Tian said with a wry smile.

"But I still have to say one thing, my home is already considered the good kind."

"Whatever you want to know, it's no problem, but after you ask, don't just blow my head off with a gun."

"If you don't believe it, I can help you contact the Tianshu Bureau."

"They can prove my innocence."

If it was some villain from a world standing in front of him, he would definitely hide something even if he was willing to say it, but Tokisaki Kurumi clearly belonged to the "good" kind.

Although she was called the "worst spirit," how could he, who had watched Date A Live, not know the essence of Tokisaki Kurumi?

Born in a wealthy family since childhood, she lived a superior life like a young lady, neither experiencing too much suffering nor encountering too many setbacks, and had a completely kind and innocent personality.

Even after becoming a spirit, she killed many people, but that was just to return to the initial time, kill Mio Takamiya, and change everything that would happen in the future; and those people who were killed by her, not to mention all, at least the vast majority were misbehaving.

He didn't care about this anyway, after all, they were all Japanese.

Of course, now that she had descended into reality, she definitely couldn't do things like changing the past.

But telling her some information in reality, he felt it should be no problem.

Just hope she doesn't blow his head off after knowing it.

Although he couldn't be considered a good person, he was definitely not in the ranks of bad people; and as a Nika Fruit ability user, he was aspiring to be the first Stage Three powerhouse born in Hangzhou in the future, becoming a hero.

What?

You ask him why he still went to work after eating the Nika Fruit?

He didn't go to work at all; that was his family business, he just hadn't been there for a long time and went to take a look.

Who knew he would encounter this kind of thing.

Otherwise, he should be exercising in the gym at home now.

"Tianshu Bureau? Official?"

"Just right, I am also curious about how the official organization of your world will handle people like me."

Tokisaki Kurumi's mind flashed with "AST," the spirit countermeasure unit.

She couldn't say she had any malice, but she definitely couldn't raise any good feelings.

Who would have good feelings for an organization that wanted to kill themselves?

"Are you thinking of AST? We wouldn't be that absolute, it's mainly recruitment."

"But actually, from the human perspective, AST didn't do anything wrong."

Zhang Tian guessed Tokisaki Kurumi's thoughts, but for AST, he really didn't think they did anything wrong.

Although from the spirit's perspective, AST, who wanted to kill them, was undoubtedly a villain, from the human perspective, every member of AST had a spirit of death-defying and a belief in defending humanity. They were undoubtedly the organization humans should trust most.

Whether it was Ryoko Kusakabe or Origami Tobiichi, they were ordinary people before, and they joined AST to protect the people around them. For them, every expedition could lose their lives, but they were not afraid. They treated every expedition as the last one, and every battle would bet their lives.

Compared to Ratatoskr, who fell in love with spirits and protected spirits, and DEM, who wanted to create a world of only magicians, only AST truly stood from the human perspective.

They didn't care whether the spirit was innocent or not; they only knew that the appearance of the spirit would bring spacequakes, and spacequakes would cause large-scale destruction or even human death.

However, the Tianshu Bureau wouldn't be like this. One was knowing the personality of those spirits in the Date A Live world, and the other was that the real world was not the Date A Live world. If you want to cause a spacequake, you have to have this ability.

"I suggest you join the Tianshu Bureau directly, so you don't need to consider identity, money, residence, or other things."

"The Tianshu Bureau will help you arrange everything."

"If you are worried that the Tianshu Bureau will be like AST... actually you don't need to worry at all. Your destructive power is too weak, and your overall strength is not very strong. Whether you have Stage Four is an unknown, and the only thing that can be called powerful is your Zafkiel that can control time."

"But I don't think your Zafkiel can exert such powerful power in the real world as in the Date A Live world, or even return to the past."

Zhang Tian didn't believe this anyway, and setting aside this ability, even if you count the other abilities of Tokisaki Kurumi's Zafkiel, the threat level might not reach Stage Four.

"So if you really want to deal with you, whether it is Zhong Lao or Ye Shen, they can easily find and even kill you."

"..."

Tokisaki Kurumi frowned slightly, her wine-red right eye staring at the man in front of her who was serious.

Does this guy not understand his current situation?

Destructive power too weak? Overall strength not strong? Zhong Lao, Ye Shen can easily find and kill her?

Is this what you should say now?

"Are you not afraid of death?"

She asked softly, her lips still hanging with an elegant smile.

"Afraid."

Zhang Tian nodded honestly.

"But I actually feel... you don't seem to be able to kill me either."

Is Tokisaki Kurumi's strength strong? Very strong, but that is strength in another sense.

In terms of performance, in the case of being unable to trigger spacequakes, her destructive power is indeed limited.

And he is a Nika Fruit ability user. Even if he only ate it not long ago, he possesses the powerful recovery and vitality that a mythical beast species should have.

Although it is impossible to pose any threat to Tokisaki Kurumi, it is still no problem to make a big noise and delay time.

"And, because I am a Nika Fruit ability user, the Tianshu Bureau has arranged surveillance near my residence after I agreed."

"Just now when you threatened me to come back with you, I sent a distress signal to them with gestures."

"Plus I'm not far from the Tianshu Bureau..."

"They are probably arriving soon."

Zhang Tian scratched his head, his tone even carrying a hint of embarrassment.

As for how he used gestures, for him, a Nika Fruit ability user, there were quite a few choices, anyway, it was the kind that Tokisaki Kurumi's perspective couldn't see.
