Girls, welcome to the Desire Bus

"It is also the party to be hunted in this [dispute]."

"No matter what I do or don't do, the Church of Thorns will spare no effort to find me and eliminate me."

"Wha...what?!"

Matsuo Ayami's eyes widened, and she looked at Tianchuan Liang in disbelief. "You said you are... the owner of the Desire Bus?!"

"Are you the person that the Thorn Sin Church is looking for?!"

Although she had guessed this beforehand, she was still shocked when Chuanliang said it himself that day.

"correct."

Ryo Amakawa didn't intend to hide anything from her because this was also part of his plan.

"So, you must remember what I look like and tell Takizawa Shun about me."

"You..." Matsuo Ayami's expression immediately turned gloomy.

"What do you want to do by telling me this?!"

"What are you doing?" With a loud bang, Ryo Amakawa once again displayed the brutal thing that had tortured her all night in front of Ayami Matsuo.

"Didn't you already know this last night?"

"you!"

Before Matsuo Ayami could open her mouth to scold, Amakawa Ryo carried her ankles on his shoulders.

Then, continue galloping.

"Did I say that, Matsuo Ayami?"

"I won't stop until I completely subdue you."

"Today will also be a pleasant day, won't it?"

"Well!!!"

In the bathroom.

The sound of Matsuo Ayami howling all night long rang out again.

----

"Ms. Matsuo...you haven't been home for many days."

The Church of the Sinner.

The other sisters who were also members of the Sisters of the Sin, talked about Matsuo Ayami who had been missing for several days.

However, the Sisters of the Church of Thorns were all corrupted by the church. The only thing left in their minds was loyalty to the Church of Thorns. Nothing else mattered.

"Just a nun... gone forever."

Another slightly older Sister Thorn expressed her opinion.

"But she is our companion after all...Shouldn't we tell the priest and the others about this?"

The older nun answered decisively: "There is no need to disturb the rest of the priest and the bishop because of a nun."

"Let's go. There will be many people coming to the church to attend mass today."

"We should get to work."

The other nuns sighed deeply.

The ability of the Church of Thorns is to change their cognition, making the Church of Thorns the most important thing in their lives, the only existence that requires them to sacrifice their lives.

But this change can ultimately not completely erase the few remaining ties between people.

Today's work is still the same as usual, but most of the Sisters of the Sin are unable to devote themselves to their work.

The identity of a nun is the most humble existence in the entire Church of Sin. Even if she dies, gets lost, or disappears... it will not have any impact on the Church of Sin.

Perhaps from the day they put on this nun's robe, they were destined to be chess pieces that could be discarded at any time.

They thought so.

It’s just that…the people who came to worship at mass today felt something was a little strange.

Normally, although those who worship at Mass are loyal to the Church of the Sinner, the long hours of kneeling and bowing their heads during Mass will still cause some of them to experience a series of natural physiological reactions such as sore necks.

They know this very well.

Unless the blasphemy is extremely serious, the Sisters of the Thorns condone such behavior.

But at today's Mass, everyone present was like an incredibly sophisticated machine, as if their brains and bodies were unified by some higher intelligence.

Every movement, every breath, even the angle at which the hands were raised and the degree to which the head drooped were all exactly the same.

It's like...these dolls are produced from the same batch.

"Hey."

"Don't you think... these people today are a little strange?"

Another sister of the Church of the Sinners also noticed something strange, but in her opinion, this was their way of expressing their piety to the Church of the Sinners.

After all...Sister Thorn Sin cannot sense urban legends.

Click--click--

As the believers who were celebrating Mass moved, the crisp and faint sound of gears turning echoed faintly throughout the church.

A little bit... a little bit...

The rhythm is unified and the sound is crisp.

It was not until the end of the mass that these people stood up at the same time, as if they had received some kind of instruction.

The first person standing in the upper right corner began to turn around and slowly left the church, followed by the second person, the third person...

Even Sister Thorn, who was very sensitive, noticed something strange at this moment.

"Hey, hey, hey...they..."

“It feels like a computer program.”

"Is this also an instruction from the Church of Thorns?"

Even the older nuns couldn't help but frown at this moment, watching these believers who turned around mechanically and left the church in a daze.

"Perhaps I should report this matter to the priest."

After making the decision, the nuns immediately left the church, and the older nun decided to go find the priest.

But in the church...there was no trace of the priest.

"Tsk... I feel like something bad is going to happen."

Although the older nun had an extraordinary sense of certain things, when it came to the Church of the Sinner...her senses were still very sharp.

But...some things cannot be changed by a low-level Sister of Thorns like her.

And the erosion of gears... continues.

One person tells ten, ten people tell a hundred, a hundred people tell a thousand, a thousand people tell ten thousand...

Chapter 151: First Confrontation, Desire Bus VS Watchmaker

"Dongshan Yuu!"

"The quest gear seems to be going berserk!"

The first person to notice something was wrong was naturally the instigator, Dongshan You.

"Tsk..."

"How could the quest gear go berserk?"

"Normally, after receiving an order, the first thing a retrieval gear should do is to find the designated target."

"Until it is found...it is impossible..."

suddenly.

Dongshan You seemed to remember something and his expression became even more gloomy.

"That is to say..."

"The quest gear had already found its target without me knowing it."

"But for some reason, they lost their goal again. The final result is... The Quest Gear mistakenly believed that they had completed their mission and began to grow and reproduce recklessly..."

"Tsk!"

After reaching the most likely conclusion, Dongshan You couldn't help but bite his fingers.

"Not only the owner of the Desire Bus... but also the people around him have corresponding defensive measures?"

The Memory Watch sighed.

"It seems that the owner of the Desire Bus is a person who values his subordinates and dependents very much."

This is the conclusion drawn by the middle-aged man.

Urban legends have a very strong power. For a newcomer who has just succeeded the Desire Bus not long ago, he did not keep such ability by his side, but chose to give it to a follower.

Should we say that he is a wasteful person, or that he cherishes his companions?

But now is not the time to talk about this.

The rampage of the lost gears continued, and after only a few days, the invasion had spread to three city blocks.

The number of victims has even reached five figures...and is clearly trending toward exceeding six figures.

If we don't stop it, everything will slide into a direction of no return.

Damn...

Is it really necessary to stop now?

It’s obvious that the people on the Desire Bus haven’t been forced out yet!

Damn!

Damn damn damn...

I want power...power...even if it means I become the biggest sinner in the world.

I want power too!

"No..." After making the decision, Dongshan You took a deep breath.

Then, the gaze became no longer confused.

"Let the quest gear continue to run wild."

"Until this pollution forces out the owner of the Desire Bus!"

After making this decision, Toyama You used his power as a [Defender], stepped into the air, and patrolled above the entire city.

After devouring another body, the searching gear was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Now...it can no longer be called a [hidden gear].

It should be called "Greedy Gear".

Or rather, this was its original name, but because of its feature of making it easy to find things, he had always mistaken it for a [search and find] gear.

But now... the [Gluttony] and [Greed] hidden in the [Gears] are completely activated.

Click——click——

The rate of erosion...is getting faster.

And this erosion that spread like a virus soon reached Amagawa Ryo's rental house, just as Toyama Yu had expected.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was no courtesy in the violent knocking, and the dull sound made Tianchuan Liang, who was sweating while working in the room, look sideways.

Under the body.

Matsuo Ayami, who had been surpassed for several days in a row and Xiaoxue was even forced to transform into the shape of Amagawa Ryo, had now completely remembered the feeling that Amagawa Ryo gave her.

All resistance was torn to pieces in this hellish and unforgiving environment.
