Chapter 241

"I, I can't move..."

"Wait."

Sakuya Aizawa suddenly felt her powerless body begin to have some motivation, and that feeling of powerlessness also began to decrease.

"How is it?"

"Hmm... much better."

Sakuya Aizawa nodded slightly; she felt her body being slowly lifted and placed on the sofa.

Her hands clenched slightly; her body, which was able to exert force, was finally able to sit up relying on her own strength.

Turning her head, she saw Ren recording in a notebook, but she couldn't see the text in the notebook, or rather, she saw it, but she couldn't remember the text in the notebook.

"Ren, what were you doing just now?"

After Ren had clearly finished writing, Sakuya Aizawa asked with curiosity.

Ren Amamiya, who had finished his daily records, took out a very ordinary white amulet; it looked like it had a very strong metallic texture, just like a special badge.

"This is what I just made."

Looking at the circular badge placed in front of her, Sakuya Aizawa blurted out subconsciously:

"A badge?"

"To be precise, it's an amulet."

Ren Amamiya made a simple correction and then gave an explanation.

"This is actually a defensive amulet similar to a flashbang; the moment it is thrown, it will erupt with a strong light, and people who are flashed by the strong light will be hypnotized by the strong light, lose their self-consciousness, and lose their ability to resist in a short time."

"It was my first time operating it before, and I didn't expect it to leak a little when it was about to take shape."

Sakuya Aizawa remembered the strong light she saw before she fell into a coma; so it was really that strong light that made her dizzy.

But she didn't seem to feel that she had lost her self-consciousness.

So she asked subconsciously:

"But I didn't lose consciousness."

"I just saw a white light, and when I felt the white light disappear..."

Suddenly, Sakuya Aizawa realized something.

"Ren, how long was I in a coma just now?"

"Half an hour... hmm, forty-three minutes, I think."

Ren Amamiya checked the time and gave a coma time precise to the minute.

This answer made Sakuya Aizawa a bit dumbfounded; she really felt it was just the blink of an eye, who knew she had been in a coma for so long.

"Lose self-consciousness... lose ability to resist in a short time..."

"Forty-three minutes, is this considered a short time?"

Sakuya Aizawa didn't think this was a short time.

"That's for ordinary people. Plus, you're not very old, and your resistance isn't very strong. For adults, it should be shorter, estimated at about thirty minutes. If it's someone who has undergone special training, it should only have an effect of twenty minutes."

"If it were Kaguya and the others, one minute or so should be the limit. As for Ran, it's only about twenty seconds."

Listening to Ren's explanation, Sakuya Aizawa still didn't misjudge her previous judgment.

"Even so, this amulet is still very powerful. After all, special groups are the minority, and most of this world are ordinary people, so the use of this amulet is still very great."

For ordinary people, it's a hard control for forty minutes; if you encounter some danger, one amulet can completely free you from the crisis.

Sakuya Aizawa carefully observed this amulet; there was no mystery visible on the surface, which meant that almost no one could take precautions against this amulet.

"But if this amulet is used carelessly, it will cause trouble for yourself, right?"

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

"There is indeed such a problem. This kind of amulet is of the landing-trigger type, and the strong light acts indiscriminately on people within a radius of fifteen meters; once you are also within this range, it will actually have an effect on you too."

"However, there is actually a way to solve this problem. As long as there are some protective mechanisms, you can avoid being affected by these amulets."

Sakuya Aizawa also felt there should be such a mechanism, otherwise this amulet would be too easy to hurt the user.

"Why did you suddenly think of making this kind of amulet?"

Ren Amamiya just shook his head slightly at this question.

"Actually, I've long had the idea of making this kind of amulet; in a crisis, this kind of consumable amulet that can be used at hand can play a big role."

"The main thing is Sonoko. Her situation is different from others; the power she obtained doesn't act directly on her own body, and on top of that, her power is more auxiliary, so she herself is no different from ordinary girls. She also needs some props for self-protection."

Sakuya Aizawa understood when he said this.

Because her own ability is insufficient, she needs to borrow external force to increase some safety for herself.

Sakuya Aizawa, who is a purely ordinary person, could understand very well. You must know that she was also a frequent target for kidnappers in the past; after all, her family is a distant relative of the Sanzenin, and on top of that, her family also has certain assets, so being targeted is unavoidable.

If she had certain props for self-protection, she could also face many kidnappers herself.

Ren Amamiya pushed the amulet he had made in front of Sakuya Aizawa.

"Miss Aizawa, I'll give this amulet to you."

"Eh? To me?"

Although Sakuya Aizawa quite wanted it, she didn't expect Ren to give it to her just like that; she thought he would give it to Sonoko.

"Hmm, Miss Aizawa is actually quite in danger, so it's very necessary to have some props for self-protection. Sonoko is usually with us, but Miss Aizawa doesn't seem to be."

"Mm..."

Indeed, Sakuya Aizawa didn't plan to transfer directly to Teitan High School; she was actually doing quite well in her previous school, so there was no need to transfer directly.

Under these circumstances, the time she could join this group was only on weekends, and the time she occasionally asked for leave.

From this perspective, she was indeed the group with the rigid demand for self-protection props.

"Then I'll accept it."

Since it was out in the open, Sakuya Aizawa didn't act coy and chose to accept it directly.

"Then how to deal with the problem of the amulet hurting yourself? Is wearing sunglasses okay?"

"That's useless."

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.

"Strong light is a form of hypnosis and suggestion; it's not a pure light. To put it simply, strong light is a form; even if you turn your head, as long as you see these lights, you will still be hit, unless you use special props to cover your eyes, otherwise it's useless."

"As for the method I mentioned..."

The RV slowly braking brought this topic to an abrupt end.

"Ren, Sakuya, we're here."

Nagi Sanzenin's slightly excited voice came from the first floor.

This made Ren Amamiya shake his head slightly and look at Sakuya Aizawa.

"It seems we'll have to find time to talk about it later."

Sakuya Aizawa also felt a bit uncomfortable, as if something was stuck in her throat; it was clearly at her mouth, but she swallowed it back.

But there was no way, who told her that the place for this weekend trip had arrived.

"Hmm, we can only find time later."
