Chapter 3

"Alright, what are you interested in this time?"

"A person who will make me feel it's interesting."

Nagi Sanzenin did not bother to correct Maria's attitude; after all, she only needed Maria to investigate that person for her now.

Maria was not the chosen one either; explaining it to her for a long time would be useless if she couldn't see it.

"What about the name?"

"Ren Amamiya."

"What about the age?"

"It should be between 15 and 17 years old."

"What about the residence?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I know it's in Beika City."

Maria immediately felt something was off.

Knowing the name, knowing the age, and even knowing the specific city.

Beika City, that city with a very high rate of famous cases?

Although the case discovery rate in every city is very high, and such things are relatively common in the Island Nation, Beika City is still the standout among them.

And Xiaozhi Society directly named Beika City this time; obviously, this was not an accident, but a confirmation.

But Maria was also certain that during these days, Xiaozhi Society had indeed not left the villa grounds, let alone come into contact with a person named "Ren Amamiya".

"Could it be that Xiaozhi Society is not playing some new game this time?"

Maria still went down to conduct the investigation with a skeptical attitude.

The Sanzenin family's intelligence work is quite good; they have their own intelligence channels all over the world. Intelligence channels require money to establish, and the Sanzenin family lacks nothing but money.

Precisely because they are not short of money, the clues regarding "Beika City", "Ren Amamiya", and "15 to 17 years old" quickly turned into a specific personal file.

"It really is a very simple life history."

The personal file was written very clearly and very plainly.

【Introverted and gloomy personality, not good at socializing, and has not established a good social network.】

【Relationships with classmates at school are average; there are no friends one can really talk to.】

【No bad habits; has left no traces on the internet.】

【Grew up in an orphanage; there are no records of parents.】

【Works part-time on weekends; life is correspondingly tight.】

"No bad habits, no traces left on the internet, poor social skills, no parents, and a tight life... completely a boy with a very blank identity."

Looking at the photo again.

"Half his face is covered by glasses, curly hair is slightly long, unkempt, and not good at grooming."

"This must be the reason for his poor social skills."

The person in the photo did not look very terrible; he just didn't manage his appearance much, looking a bit ordinary.

But in Maria's opinion, at least this boy could be considered handsome.

But this was another question that made Maria strange.

"Why would Xiaozhi Society specifically look for this person?"

"Being able to state the name, age, and approximate location, it should be someone Xiaozhi Society knows. But no matter how you look at this boy, he doesn't seem like someone Xiaozhi Society could come into contact with."

What Maria said was not about identity or background, but that there was no intersection whatsoever between this boy and Xiaozhi Society.

Xiaozhi Society often leaves messages online, but this boy has left no traces on the internet.

So how did Xiaozhi Society and this boy get to know each other?

Maria was very puzzled.

In a certain large apartment in Beika City that had once experienced an accident and therefore became very cheap, Ren Amamiya was bathing.

After cleansing himself, Ren Amamiya opened his diary with a devout heart.

Words left by black ink suddenly appeared on the diary.

【First day's diary completed.】

【Achievement Unlocked: First Time.】

【Wheel Prize Pool Unlocked.】

A large virtual image of a spinning wheel appeared before Ren Amamiya.

There was a winning indicator on it, and the large wheel above had many sections, with corresponding names written in each section.

【Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, The Familiar of Zero, A Certain Magical Index, Persona, Demon Slayer, The Strongest Disciple Kenichi, Marvel, Genshin Impact, Fate, DxD, Dao Gui Yi Xian, Lord of the Mysteries...】

There were very many items; among them, there were many that Ren Amamiya could understand and accept, but of course, within this understandable range, there was one that was not very acceptable.

For example, Dao Gui Yi Xian.

Ren Amamiya opened his mouth, immediately crossed his hands and pressed them together, praying very devoutly.

"Except for Dao Gui Yi Xian, I can accept everything else!"

He knew about Dao Gui Yi Xian before his transmigration and rebirth, but it was limited to just knowing about it.

Because it was so famous, many obvious memes appeared; just like the name after transmigration absolutely cannot be Li Huowang, otherwise it would be easier to commit suicide yourself.

Ren Amamiya himself had not read Dao Gui Yi Xian, but he also knew that the story and settings inside were very crazy, even crazier than the Cthulhu-style novel Lord of the Mysteries.

He did not hope to bear this madness himself just because of a lottery draw.

An ordinary person like him could not bear it.

After praying, he reached out to touch the large wheel; although he only touched it lightly, the wheel started spinning very fast.

Slowly, the large wheel stopped.

The location he heard about is "Persona".

【Obtained Trait: Wild.】

"Wild? Is that the trait the protagonist in Persona has that can accommodate multiple Personas?"

Ren Amamiya could understand, yet felt a bit disappointed.

"It seems that purification has no use at all for increasing luck."

He continued to check the introduction of "Wild", and then saw the description of this trait even more clearly.

【Wild: Can accommodate multiple different types of personalities while maintaining the uniqueness of the autonomous personality.】

"Hmm, it is indeed the trait the protagonist of Persona possesses. It is this quality that allows the protagonist to use multiple Personas."

"Personas are parts of one's own personality, containing various emotions and consciousness. Theoretically, everyone who awakens a Persona can only possess one Persona; only the protagonist possessing the "Wild" trait can have multiple Personas."

"However, here its use for me should merely be... preventing me from developing a mental illness?"

Maintaining the uniqueness of the autonomous personality, isn't that exactly what prevents symptoms of mental illness?

But in the normal world, unless suppressed to a certain extent, a normal person would at most be depressed, rather than developing schizophrenia.

It is useful, but not much.
