Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

So, what about "innocence points"?

He thought of the first person he harvested innocence points from.

End of the band.

Goto Ichiri.

The girl with pink hair and a guitar on her back, but who is extremely socially anxious and can't even communicate normally with others.

"That performance was probably a major breakthrough for Goto Ichiri, right?"

Kujo Renji pondered.

"If the way to earn Sin Points is 'punishment,' then the key to Innocence Points should be... 'growth'?"

To be more precise, is it to "help" or "witness" the growth and transformation of others?

When others overcome their weaknesses, break through bottlenecks, and shine more brightly because of his intervention, he can gain innocence points.

"That sounds like something a decent person would do."

He doesn't consider himself a "good guy".

Whether it is "punishment" or "helping growth", for him, it is just a means of gaining points.

His only goal is to accumulate enough points as quickly as possible, merge them, and then find a way to return to his original world.

"Sixteen points of original sin, fifteen points of innocence..."

Jiujo Renji looked at the numbers on the system panel and frowned slightly.

The two points are almost equal.

This made him a little hesitant.

According to the system's prompts, fusion points are the key to return.

However, the system does not provide clear instructions on how to merge and what will happen after the fusion.

The unknown is often accompanied by risks.

But, if you don’t try, you will never know the answer.

Kujo Renji is not a timid person.

He took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.

"Let's merge some of them first and see how it goes."

He made a decision.

At least he needs to know how far he is from returning to his original body after the fusion points.

[System prompt: Are you sure you want to merge "Original Sin Points" and "Innocence Points"?]

"Confirmed." Kujo Renji muttered in his heart.

The moment he confirmed the fusion, something strange happened!

In the upper right corner of his vision, the percentage value representing the "fit" between his body and Toyokawa Shoko's body suddenly began to flash wildly and plummeted at an alarming speed!

【Fitting degree: 95%】

【Fitting degree: 85%】

【Fitting degree: 75%】

........

"What's going on?!" Kujo Liansi was shocked.

He tried to control his body, but found a powerful repulsive force emerging from deep within his body, as if this body was instinctively resisting his existence!

【Fitting degree: 55%】

【Fitting degree: 35%】

【Fitting degree: 15%】

The numbers were still dropping rapidly, his vision started to blur, and the world was spinning.

A strong feeling of dizziness came over him, making it almost impossible for him to think.

He could feel that his control over this body was rapidly slipping away.

It became extremely difficult to move my arms, legs, feet, and even blink.

"Damn, does the fusion of points reduce the degree of fit?"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, his consciousness fell into darkness.

He lost control of Shoko Toyokawa's body.

......

at the same time.

Deep in her body consciousness, Shoko Toyokawa, who had been suppressed, suddenly felt that the invisible force that was imprisoning her was rapidly fading away.

It was as if the huge rock that had been pressing on her was suddenly removed.

She was a little confused and at a loss.

She moved her fingers tentatively.

active!

Although she was still a little stiff and awkward, the long-lost sense of control that belonged to her was clearly transmitted to her consciousness.

She tried blinking again.

The scene before my eyes was no longer blurry as if through a layer of frosted glass, but became clear and real.

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned.

She, she can move?

Chapter 128: Miss Xiangzi gloats over misfortune

Shoko Toyokawa stood in front of the mirror, repeatedly clenching and unclenching her hands, feeling the sense of control that had been lost and regained.

Joy surged into her heart like a tide, leaving a thin blush on her delicate face.

During this period of time, she was like a ghost imprisoned in her own body. From the initial fear and anger to the subsequent helplessness, she almost thought that she would lose control of her body forever.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events.

This sudden surprise made her almost want to cheer out loud.

However, after a brief moment of excitement, an inexplicable sense of panic quietly crept into her heart.

But what about Kujo Renji?

Toyokawa Shoko subconsciously called out in her mind:

"Hey! Kujo Renji! Are you still there?"

no respond.

Her mind was silent.

It was like he had actually disappeared.

This realization made Shoko Toyokawa's heart sink.

A feeling of emptiness quickly filled her heart.

To be honest, she hated Kujo Renji.

She hated his domineering attitude, his bad taste, and the way he always looked at her with eyes that saw through everything, as if all her thoughts were exposed in front of him.

but...

She didn't know when it started, but she seemed to have gotten used to the man's chattering voice in her mind.

She got used to dealing with complicated situations that she had never dared to imagine before under his "guidance".

I'm used to it...getting a vague sense of "affirmation" from him after every seemingly dangerous confrontation.

Although their interactions were mostly bickering and mutual ridicule, it was undeniable that the existence of Kujo Renji, to some extent, gave her a peculiar sense of "security."

It was as if, no matter what troubles he encountered, he could always turn danger into safety as long as this man was there.

But now, he is gone.

Just like that...disappeared silently?

Shoko Toyokawa suddenly felt an unprecedented panic.

She didn't want him to leave.

At least...it shouldn't be in such an unclear way.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, even she was shocked.

How could she develop such an almost "dependent" feeling towards that bastard?

"Hey! Kujo Renji! You bastard! Get out here!"

Shoko Toyokawa paced around the room anxiously, her voice trembling unconsciously.

Just when she almost thought that Kujo Renji had really disappeared completely and an indescribable sense of loss surged in her heart, a familiar voice finally sounded in her mind.

[It's so noisy, Miss Xiangzi, can't you be quiet for a while? ]

Shoko Toyokawa was stunned at first, and then a huge sense of relief enveloped her.

Immediately afterwards, an irrepressible feeling of schadenfreude quickly replaced the previous panic and loss.

"Pfft-"

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help laughing out loud, her eyes curved with a hint of pride:

"Hey, Mr. Kujo Renji, what's wrong with you? You sound... not so good?"

It's so rare to see this man get humiliated, it feels so good!

【It was just an accident. 】

"Oh? An unexpected event? I think it means 'surprise'?"

She deliberately imitated the condescending tone that Kujo Renji usually used, and felt secretly happy in her heart.

【…】

Kujo Renji was silent for a moment, as if adjusting his state.

Shoko Toyokawa could feel that although his consciousness was still there, his control over his body had dropped to the lowest point.

Now she is the real owner of this body.

This feeling of being in charge made her extremely happy.

【Miss Xiangzi】

Jiujo Liansi's voice sounded again. This time, his tone was much calmer, even with a hint of helplessness.

"This situation is perfect. Haven't you always felt that there was something wrong with the way I handled things? Now's your chance. The mess at the Toyokawa Group, and those men who are eyeing the Yamaguchi-gumi with their greed... From now on, it's all up to you to handle."

Kujo Renji's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the pride in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

The smile on her face faltered.

Before, with Kujo Renji around, whether she was facing the Toyokawa Group or dealing with the unreasonable underworld of the Yamaguchi-gumi, although she felt nervous and scared, she subconsciously always felt that with Kujo Renji as her "plug-in", he would be there to hold up the sky even if it fell.

Although she also learned some things, but more often than not, she was just "eating melons" and marveling at Kujo Renji's calculations and methods.

She was quite impressed with Kujo Renji's abilities, and even had a faint admiration for him deep down in her heart.

but now...

Kujo Renji lost control of his body and became a military strategist who could only speak in his mind.

The person who really needed to stand in front of the stage and face those jackals, tigers and leopards became herself!
