Chapter 115: Everyone Vomited

Ren Amamiya, who was being held, was still a bit stiff.

Although his resistance to the opposite sex had increased quite a bit, it hadn't reached the point where he could ignore this kind of contact.

But he could also sense from Chika Fujiwara's trembling body that her fear was constantly climbing.

Clearly scared to death, yet she still had to hold on and watch.

Sighing, he instinctively kept a certain distance.

"...Miss Hayasaka, continue."

Ai Hayasaka nodded slightly, letting the video continue to play.

The footage came to an underground level of the laboratory, a more enclosed space.

The entrance was blocked by thick plastic sheets.

Everyone knew that this was the key.

They watched the subsequent development quietly.

The footage passed through the plastic sheets and entered the underground laboratory.

The lights were turned on, and the scene inside was presented before their eyes.

"!?"

All the girls couldn't help but cover their mouths.

What met their eyes were dozens of experimental tables, and on each table was a corpse.

Judging from the state of the corpses, there were elderly people, middle-aged men and women, and even several children who looked no older than 10.

Each corpse was bound to the experimental table, and judging from the wounds at the binding points, the pain they suffered before death was hard to imagine.

Each corpse had a ferocious expression.

Many needle marks could also be seen on the corpses.

One could imagine what kind of experiments the drug dealers were conducting on them.

The more emotional girls could no longer endure it at this moment.

"Ugh!"

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki suddenly felt a strong sense of nausea.

The two quickly covered their mouths and hurriedly grabbed the trash cans that had been prepared long ago.

"Vomit!!!!"

Completely losing control, they released the strong sense of nausea from their stomachs directly.

Following the loss of control by Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, the other girls also lost control one after another.

One by one, they held trash cans and vomited incessantly.

Ren Amamiya also quickly felt Chika Fujiwara's constantly trembling body.

He sucked the trash can placed in the distance over and placed it in front of Chika Fujiwara.

"Tha... Vomit!!!"

She could no longer control it.

Before she could finish her words, she couldn't help but lower her head and vomit into the trash can.

That's why I said it's not suitable for you to watch.

That kind of scene, even Ren Amamiya felt uncomfortable watching it.

Everyone on the experimental tables had died from the torture of drug withdrawal caused by the drug dealers' tests.

Under that continuous torture, it was that resentment of revenge that caused so many people's souls to turn into evil spirits after death.

Everyone knew very clearly who the people who truly killed them were.

So that resentment was aimed at the source of everything.

But because the village chief was never at the drug dealers' base in the back mountain, those evil spirits had been floating above the island.

He turned slightly to the side and gently patted Fujiwara's back, letting her feel a little better.

However, in such a situation, it was impossible to stop until the contents of the stomach were vomited clean.

The one who was slightly better was Iroha Saginomiya.

There was anger in her eyes, but there was no feeling of fear.

It could be seen that she had faced such situations in the past.

Except for Saginomiya, everyone else was no exception.

Whether it was the rational Kaguya or the usually mature Maria, they couldn't withstand the stimulation on the screen.

One by one, they couldn't control their stress reactions.

While gently patting Fujiwara's back to help her ease the nausea, Ren Amamiya got up to get the tissues.

He pulled out a few sheets and handed them to Fujiwara.

"..."

Unable to say anything else, Chika Fujiwara took the tissues and started vomiting into the trash can again.

This situation lasted for half a minute before it slowly improved.

It wasn't that the girls' state improved, but that after half a minute of effort, the girls had vomited everything in their stomachs clean.

The girls tacitly took out tissues to wipe the corners of their mouths, which still had some vomit.

One by one, they felt extremely uncomfortable, and their complexions were also very bad, but compared to the strong nausea just now, it was much better.

"Even children are not spared..."

Kaguya Sigong had already seen the bottom line of the human world at this moment. Sending children under ten to the experimental table—such drug dealers truly did not deserve to live.

But she quickly thought of a question.

"Ren Amamiya, the scale of this Moonlight Island is not large; why was a child going missing not taken seriously?"

"..."

Ren Amamiya didn't speak but pointed his finger at the image on the projection.

Kaguya Sigong was slightly stunned, then reacted quickly.

She looked at the frozen image on the projection with a complex expression.

It wasn't that the child's parents didn't take it seriously, but that they had also been controlled by the drug dealers.

As for the reason, it was very obvious.

As long as the parents who discovered the child missing also disappeared, it wouldn't attract too much attention on Moonlight Island.

As for the reason, it was ready-made.

As long as they fabricated a lie about the whole family going on a trip, they could muddle through.

"So that's it."

"This is the darkness in the world of ordinary people."

It wasn't just Kaguya Sigong who understood; everyone else also reacted one after another.

They looked at the child's corpse that had been tortured and devastated in the projection, and they all fell silent.

They had never seen such a dark reality.

This was the first time, and it was the most profound experience for them.

"How is it?"

"A very profound lesson."

Kaguya Sigong's complexion was still pale, but this education was indeed very necessary.

She had deeply understood how devoid of humanity creatures like drug dealers were.

Facing drug dealers, it is best not to think of them as normal people.

Once they are addicted to drugs, they can no longer be called human.

"Ren Amamiya, is the mysterious world also like this?"

Ren Amamiya smiled and shook his head slightly.

"In the mysterious world where people possess power, how many people do you think can maintain their humanity?"

"When one harbors a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises."

"For the sake of power, too many people will lose their humanity."

"Don't look at the people in the mysterious world too perfectly; the lunatics in that world are even crazier than those drug dealers."

Kaguya Sigong was silent for a moment; she felt once again that today's lesson was really necessary.

"Just like you yourself."

"Having obtained the Ice-Ice Fruit, you have thought about using your power to get rid of the shackles on your body, right?"

Kaguya Sigong nodded with a complex expression.

"This is the same idea."

"When there is no choice, people can only choose to resign themselves to fate."

"But once people obtain power and have other choices, then humanity will often be constantly broken through in repeated indulgences."
