Kilsager and Chat Groups

When Killua looked at the profile picture of the new bride, it was a blonde little girl with big blue eyes looking at the camera sideways, her clothes loosely draped over her shoulders.

Kilsager: Welcome, Tina~

Azure Star: Welcome, Tina!

Renault: Welcome, newcomer!

Chen Huijie: Welcome, newcomer!

El: Welcome, newcomer!

Tina: What is this? A new communication device?

Azure Star: No, it's a chat group that spans the world.

Tina: You guys really know how to joke around.

Kirsa: What monster materials do you guys need? I'll go find them for you.

Kilsager: The commander-in-chief of the investigation team said that Azure Star was a gift to everyone.

Azure Star: ?

Renault: Then I won't be polite, give me some Kushala Daora scales and Teostra dust organs.

Chen Huijie: Then I need some steel dragon shells and scales to make weapons.

El: Then I want the gems of Teostra and Kushala Daora!

El: I've been craving these two precious jades for a long time!

Killer Killer: What does Tina want? It's from the Azure Star anyway, might as well take it.

Azure Star: Hey!

Tina: Huh?

Tina: I don't know.

Kilsager: Then I'll pick out an expensive one for you.

Killer Killer: Here, I'll give you a Nergigante gem. I think this is the only one.

Tina: ......Okay.

Azure Star: No!

Under the strange gazes of the investigation team, Azure Star broke down in tears once again.

Keep in mind that, so far, none of the other members of the research team have even successfully hunted an Elder Dragon, while she has successfully shot down an Elder Dragon several times thanks to the tracking ability of the Infinite Justice Gundam.

The research team originally possessed a large amount of materials from other monsters, but only Elder Dragon materials were unused by Azure Star.

This means that all these guys in the chat group are eyeing her personal savings!

Azure Star: Can you hear the lament of the resource library?!

Kilsaji: Joy.

Renault: You finally got what you deserved.

Chen Huijie: I remember that Baoyu was a very rare item.

Kirsage sent Renault a personalized red envelope.

[Killer Claw sent a special red envelope to Tina.]

Kearsarge sent Chen Huijie a personalized red envelope.

[Killer Saji sent a special red envelope to El.]

Azure Star: My darling!

Kirsa: I don't want it anymore, I've already taken an Elder Dragon from you.

Azure Star: Waaaaah.

Tina sat in the rented container, her gaze fixed on the chat group interface, torn between accepting the red envelope sent by Kearsarge.

She sighed softly, "Sigh..."

Now that someone is willing to give a gift to a cursed child, why should she refuse?

Even though it was likely just a prank, she decided to open the red envelope anyway.

When Tina clicked on the red envelope, a "stone" that shone with a gray light suddenly appeared in front of her.

In her panic, she hurriedly reached out to catch it, and the treasure called the Extinction Dragon Jade landed steadily in her hand.

Tina stared wide-eyed at the treasure in her hands in disbelief.

"It's... really true!" she murmured.

Then, Tina realized that if the chat group was real, then perhaps it held the key to curing Gastric Virus.

Her heart instantly filled with excitement, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.

Tina: Um, everyone!

Killer Killer: What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the Nergigante Jewel?

Kilsager: I'll find you another one.

Azure Star: My precious gems... are all gone...

El: Hehe.

Tina: I'd like to ask everyone if there are any treatments for gastroenteritis.

Chen Huijie: I've never heard of this virus, but Chilesag should be able to cure you.

Reynolds: Virus? Do you have samples? I can get the Academy of Sciences to research treatment methods.

El: I have magic here, there might be a way.

Kilsa Chia: I can cure anything that's on the physical level.

Kirsa: My psionic abilities aren't very strong right now, so I'm afraid I can't do anything about some outrageous things.

Tina: That's...that's great!

Tina covered her mouth, her body trembling slightly, her heart filled with fear and unease.

Her eyes widened, tears welling up in them, as if they were about to spill over at any moment.

She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes, worried that this magical chat group would suddenly disappear, and even more afraid that the people in the group were all scammers just playing a trick on her.

However, what frightens her most is whether they will hate and despise her because they know she is a monster.

Large tears welled up uncontrollably from her eyes, streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.

She felt helpless and alone, as if the whole world had abandoned her.

But just then, she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope—the people in the chat group.

Even though it may only be a fleeting hope, it was enough for her, who had always lived in darkness.

The cursed children have a tragic fate; they are infected with the terrible gastrula virus at birth, which turns their pupils red.

They seem to be born with original sin, abandoned by the human world, and no law can protect them.

Most of the cursed children lead miserable lives, suffering discrimination and persecution.

Only a very few lucky children of the curse will encounter kind people who are willing to take them in and care for these poor children.

However, this kind of happiness is often short-lived.

The reason for this is that, over time, the rate of gastrulation in their bodies will continue to rise.

Once this value exceeds 50%, they will be completely engulfed by the gastrulatory virus in their bodies and transformed into entirely new gastrulators.

This is the key reason why children of curses often don't live past the age of ten.

Even though humans have developed gastrovirus inhibitors, these drugs are only available to police officers who act as facilitators or "tools" of certain organizations.

Once these children are engaged in battle, the rate at which the Gastrea virus invades them will accelerate dramatically, especially since they spend most of their time fighting a life-or-death struggle against Gastrea.

Engaging with Gastrea means facing an extremely high risk of death, and the mortality rate is not low.

In Tina's world, most of human civilization has been destroyed by Gastrea, with only a few cities surviving by erecting megaliths that Gastrea loathe.

In Japan, for example, only five cities remain.

If someone can successfully cure Gastrea, then at least the Cursed Child will have a chance to survive.

Chirsar: Do you need treatment?

Killer Killer: I'm on Azure Star now. I'll go back and get you later.

Kirsa: If you're in a hurry, I'll go back and make the arrangements now.

Tina: I'm not in a hurry.

Tina replied to Killer Killer cautiously, afraid that Killer Killer would find it annoying.

Kirsa: Okay, I'll call you later. Do you have anything else planned?

Tina thought for a moment; she had a mission that night, some of which couldn't be made public.

Tina: I have a mission tonight.

Kearsarge: OK, I'll call you tomorrow.

Tina: Mm.
