There was no response on the other end of the phone; instead, a subordinate's report came through again.

"Ahem, so you're Commander Kusunoki from that DA organization?"

"who are you?"

On the scene, the girl with peach blossom eyes, her back to the group of Lycoris who had been knocked to the ground, said in a leisurely tone:

"Hehe, were you scared? Um~ Let me introduce myself. I'm the head of the Special Affairs Section, codename 'Walnut.' This matter is our responsibility, so please don't trouble yourself."

"Special class..." A gasp came from the other end of the line; she knew exactly what "special class" meant.

A dictatorial body with the authority to intervene in all matters of the Sakura Empire and even to directly depose the governor, prioritizing the handling of "unnatural" events, and specially dispatched supporters from the capital city of Oiwa.

The commander quickly regained his composure and asked, "I understand. I will evacuate immediately. How are my men?"

The girl with peach-blossom eyes glanced at the alley out of the corner of her eye.

Takashiro Takagi emerged covered in injuries, while the Lycoris were all lying sprawled out on the outside of the alley.

"Section Chief, it's all done."

She slowly curled the corners of her mouth:

"It's alright, it's alright! It's not to the point where we need to hold a funeral yet. However, your children are all very qualified. How about we consider arranging their funeral services in advance? We have a promotion recently, the second person gets half price."

"Click." The dial tone came from the other end of the phone.

"Ugh~ How rude!" Walnut put her hands on her hips and threw the headset back to Lycoris on the ground.

At that moment, Nao Tomori approached with a camera in hand: "Section Chief, we've made a new discovery."

Hu Tao's eyes flickered as she intently watched the footage on the camera.

It was a dry well, and a woman with black hair covering her face slowly climbed out of it.

"Hmm, it's Sadako. It's an urban legend. This is troublesome; this thing is not easy to deal with."

As Hu Tao spoke, she dialed a number, leaving professional issues to be handled by professionals.

Waiting for the call to connect.

She paused, then asked, "Has the victim's identity been confirmed?"

Nao Tomori nodded: "A first-year student at Toyosaki High School, his name is Tomoya Aki, and he's a nerdy guy who spends a lot of money."

“Let’s start by investigating his social connections,” Hu Tao said casually, her gaze falling on a few scratches on the ruins.

"With Lycoris involved, does that mean this is related to parasites? Someone fought with one of those things and even used superpowers?"

Due to the puberty syndrome, the number of wild espers has begun to increase, and Nao Tomori and Joshiro Takagi are among the executives recruited by Kurumi.

The former's ability is to disappear in front of someone. The latter, however, is uncontrollable teleportation.

Similar to the "Rolling Cow" game, it focuses on one direction and moves at high speed uncontrollably. As a result, it often leaves the cow covered in bruises.

Hu Tao has a great deal of interest in the newly emerged fire-type ability user who can perfectly master his powers.

"Who is the one?"

Chapter 152 is indeed stuck.

Akihabara. Love hotels.

A group of people sat around a heart-shaped waterbed, with Xia Jia's phone in the center, displaying the latest news on the screen.

"This is the explanation the court has given to the public these past two days: 'gas explosion,' 'serial killer,' and 'Kissing Woman imitator.' Although the number is not large, it does reveal some traces of a mysterious existence."

"It is foreseeable that in the future, whether it is parasites or suddenly awakened superpowers, they will bring certain changes to this society. Junior and senior high school students are the most unstable age. If they suddenly gain power, they are likely to feel that they are the protagonist, which will lead to a series of events."

Showing off and getting slapped in the face, jealousy and rivalry, urban tycoons—these kinds of plots are bound to be plentiful. Of course, once they cross the line, someone will naturally teach them a lesson.

Xia Jia raised her head, her gaze falling on the blond-haired loser sitting in front of her, then she glanced around at the surroundings and said seriously:

"Based on the intelligence I currently possess, Iwakuni has a special agency that handles similar cases. Therefore, you can decide for yourselves whether to live in ignorance or die with full understanding."

Eriri sat on her duck-like back, looking down at the scrolling messages on her phone, her gaze fixed on the message: "[One person died...]".

She had just wet herself in fear, and shame and terror lingered in her heart. Only after calming down did she realize that she had almost died.

The phone contained not only images of Aki Tomoya, but also other horrific victims who had been dismembered and cannibalized.

She slowly raised her head, her lips trembling as she asked:

"Rinya, is he really dead?"

“Dead. He died last night.” Xia Jia said calmly.

"The parasites devour human brains and mimic human survival; those closest to them are usually the first to perish. He was one of the unlucky few."

Aki Tomoya also has a habit of working multiple jobs, and being out late at night naturally increases his chances of winning the lottery.

"Last night?" Eriri asked in surprise, pressing for an answer:

"The CD he gave me before?"

Eriri was still thinking that perhaps before Tomoya died, he was still hoping to reconcile with her...

“Well, I don’t think that disc is anything good either, Sawamura-san,” Kato Megumi suddenly interjected from the side.

"Many urban legends have been circulating lately, and Sadako's videotape is one of them. Aki-kun disrupted the cultural festival by showing anime, which probably made him disliked by many students. It's not surprising that he received one or two of these cursed DVDs."

Eriri jolted awake, leaning to the side with a look of terror on her face: "Who?!"

"That's so unfair! Someone just changed your diaper a few minutes ago, and you've already forgotten about it." Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks and complained, "This is the first time in my life that I've changed a classmate's wet underwear. I'm so embarrassed."

Eriri blushed instantly: "I, I didn't pee, I peed my pants! No, no... I, I peed... no. I'm sorry."

Seeing Eriri's reaction, Shaka's playful side emerged, and he closed his eyes to tease her:

"I know you're shy, but there's no need to be so afraid that you'll snuggle into someone else's arms."

"I didn't..." Eriri stopped mid-sentence, stunned. There was indeed no one beside her, but she was definitely holding something...

"Ah... um..."

Eriri's eyes were blank, and the entire scene was black and white, as if she was about to evaporate.

In the instant the blond loser's sanity crumbled, Sakurajima Mai pushed him away, exclaiming in surprise:

"Black and white? This is the first time I've ever seen someone do this."

Shaga exclaimed in surprise, "I can only say that you truly deserve to be called the Creator. Your mental power is sufficient to detect your presence."

After a short while, the badly damaged Eriri came to her senses, and everyone continued their discussion around the ship.

At this moment, what was placed in the center was no longer Shaka's cell phone, but the disc in Eriri's hand.

"What should we do? It's said that if someone who has seen the DVD doesn't return it within three days, they'll be haunted by an evil spirit." Black Cat gripped his phone, searching for urban legends about Sadako.

Yuta said smugly, "This news is outdated. Just last month, Sadako became a blessing for otaku. It is said that if you don't send her out, you will be attacked by a big-breasted, long-haired older sister at night."

Shaga was shocked: "Dark Flame Master, so this is your preferred version?"

"Yuta~~!" Rikka cried, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Ahem, stop." Mori Natsu interrupted the spellcasting and calmly analyzed, "The current situation is that this guy named Aki Tomoya knew that this thing would be dangerous to people, yet he still gave it to Sawamura-kun?"

Black Cat confirmed, "The parasite outbreak occurred last night, and this disc was clearly sent earlier."

"That's too much."

"That's so unfair."

"That's so cruel, death!"

Each sentence felt like a sharp arrow piercing my body.

Eriri hugged her knees, burying her head in them: "No, stop talking."

Shaka tried to comfort her, saying, "Perhaps that guy just wanted to give you some inspiration. After all, everyone's saying that Sadako is a passionate seafood older sister. Don't you think so, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri?"

"Yes, yes, that's it! He just wanted to give me some reference!" Eriri seemed to come alive, supporting herself with her hands as she lay on the bed.

But at this moment, the way everyone looked at her became a little strange.

“Eri Kashiwagi… I remember she was a well-known doujinshi artist, specializing in humiliation-themed works,” Yuta Togashi recalled.

"Yes! I absolutely love your work, especially that succubus doujinshi, I adore it!" Kitagawa Kaimu grasped Eriri's hand, shaking it excitedly up and down.

"I've finally met her in person! Ms. Kashiwagi Eri!"

"Uh—hiccup." Eriri froze, her body evolving towards black and white once more.

"Hey, then... how did you know about this?! Aaaaaah!" Eriri quickly kicked her legs back and hugged the blanket, shrinking into the corner.

"You, you wouldn't threaten me with something like this, and then do this...that... This is still a love hotel..."

"Wow wow wow wow."

Xia Jia glanced at the defeated girl for a moment, then said seriously to everyone, "She seems to have broken down."

Yes, yes.

"Let's ignore him for now and get back to the main topic." Xia Jia pointed to the CD placed in the center and asked:

"Now, what do we do with this?"
