Chapter 251

~5 min read 989 words

Especially those evils that already lie on the very edge of humanity's bottom line.

Taking a deep breath, Satō Miwako did not intend to get involved.

She knew very well that professional matters must be left to professionals.

She was not a police officer from the Anti-Narcotics Unit, nor could she be transferred there to handle cases.

So she could only suppress those thoughts.

"I understand."

Satō Miwako paused, adding a more serious warning.

"Do not tell anyone else about what just happened."

"No one likes to hear horror stories."

Amamiya Ren had no intention of revealing these matters either.

"That's good."

Satō Miwako breathed a sigh of relief.

She stopped thinking about the corpses; those matters could be left to Inspector Megure and the others for now.

Back at the Metropolitan Police Department, once the drug trafficker incident blew up, she would gradually learn the details about the corpses.

"Alright, you continue to rest."

"Our boat leaves at 1 PM; if you don't rest now, you won't have any energy this afternoon."

Satō Miwako checked the time; it was 8:32.

She had only just slept for three hours, and now she inexplicably felt her eyelids fighting each other.

"Haa~~~"

"Sorry, I can't hold on anymore."

That drowsiness came very suddenly; she felt her body become extremely light and her mind extremely quiet, directly stimulating her eyelids until they were unbearably heavy.

Satō Miwako collapsed headfirst onto the bedding, her heavy eyelids making it nearly impossible for her to open them.

After muttering a few words, she immediately fell asleep.

Amamiya Ren glanced at the completely asleep Satō Miwako and nodded slightly.

"The extraordinary ability of the Soul-Soothing Priest is very useful."

No need to worry about Officer Satō's situation.

He believed she would be able to keep sleeping, and that would be enough until noon.

The other operational units stationed here did not need it.

Their condition could be described as quite poor.

Staying up all night had left their condition quite poor; even those operational unit members who had rotated for rest and slept for a while were in equally bad shape.

After arranging matters for the one person most likely to have problems, Amamiya Ren walked back to the main hall.

At this moment, a group of girls sat in the main hall with dark circles under their eyes, and occasionally one could hear the sound of a girl's stomach growling~~~.

"Gurgle~~~"

Amamiya Ren, who had just walked over, heard Ran's stomach make a very loud noise.

Mao Li Lan, her face flushed red, lowered her head and tightly covered the stomach that had made the sound.

The other girls looked over, but no one intended to mock her.

Because their current condition was actually about the same.

Yesterday, everyone had vomited everything they could, and since they hadn't eaten dinner, ending up in this state was inevitable.

"Endure a little longer; Young Lady Maria is already preparing temporary vegetarian dumplings in the kitchen."

"No meat; they are made purely of vegetables."

All the girls present breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it wasn't meat, it was fine; in the short term, they did not want to touch anything meat-related at all.

They knew that the footage Amamiya Ren had filmed yesterday was very clear, showing the final appearance of death for almost every corpse.

Because the dosage of the drug differed, and due to the time difference, the degree of decay for each corpse was different.

This resulted in different visual impacts.

At least for a short time, anyone who had seen those things could not accept meat.

"While we have this time, let's talk."

"I made some records about what happened yesterday in the diary, and this morning I drew a little."

0 flowers requested

"The result slightly, slightly exceeded my expectations."

Changing from the expected Sequence 8 potion to a Source Quality beyond the Sequences was a huge leap.

Even now, recalling it, Amamiya Ren felt it was incredible.

"Ran, Kaguya Sigong, Sanzenin, you can try drawing."

"Perhaps it will be a surprise."

The three exchanged glances, and Mao Li Lan raised her hand first.

"Then, I'll go first."

Kaguya Sigong and Nagi Sanzenin both nodded slightly.

Mao Li Lan summoned the diary and then began the drawing process.

She spun the large wheel.

The indicator stopped in a section different from the previous one.

【Magical Teacher】

【Obtained Special Ability: Magic Nullification】

0................

"Eh?"

Because the indicator's block was not the same as last time, Mao Li Lan was stunned for a moment.

"Ren Ren, what ability is Magic Nullification?"

"???"

"Magic Nullification?"

Ren Amamiya was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what it was.

"Magic Nullification!?"

"Kagurazaka Asuna's special ability, the power to reduce all magic to zero."

"I never expected you to obtain her special ability."

"No wonder the title given to you at the start was one that enhanced bodily functions."

It seemed that, just like his situation, the title Xiao Lan received earlier was also a kind of omen.

All of this was arranged.

"Xiao Lan, this is an ability that excludes supernatural powers such as magic and mana."

"However, I think this should not be merely a special ability that can nullify magic and mana."

As he spoke, a deck of tarot cards appeared in Ren Amamiya's hand.

"Xiao Lan, don't move."

"Mm."

Ren Amamiya then shot a card flying toward the side of Xiao Lan.

"Zzzt!"

As the flying card approached Xiao Lan, an invisible force suddenly resisted the attack of the flying card.

However, this was not complete nullification, but rather a resistance against the flying tarot card.

Something resembling electric sparks even sounded in the air.

"Sss!"

Although the power around Xiao Lan resisted for a while, the tarot card ultimately pierced through.

It stabbed straight into the wall behind Xiao Lan.
