Zongman: My Smart Group

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I wonder if the currencies of the two worlds are interchangeable. This place seems to be the land of cherry blossoms too."

Yukino Yukinoshita had observed the currency used by others, but she was too far away to see it clearly, yet it was very similar.

Lin Mo walked straight over and said, "Don't worry, if the currency doesn't work, we'll just go to the alleys and earn some extra money."

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head and said, "In an alley? Side money?"

Lin Mo: "We'll talk about it later. Boss, two steamed buns, please."

Seeing that her actual currency could indeed be used here, Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no misunderstanding had occurred. However, the two worlds were so similar. Were they parallel worlds?

Just as Yukino was pondering, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance, and a crowd rushed towards them, as if some disaster had occurred.

"Run! Gastrea have invaded!"

Yukino Yukinoshita murmured softly, "Gastrea?"

Chapter 78 The Destroyer of the World

Upon hearing about the Gastrea invasion, the people around seemed to have been given a cheat code, and in the blink of an eye, they all ran away.

Before Yukino could figure out what Gastrea was, a giant spider charged over, its roar shaking the entire sky.

Yukino Yukinoshita stared blankly at the scene, stunned and frozen in place.

Lin Mo's expression also changed. He never expected it to be this world, which was one of the worlds he hated the most.

Just then, the giant spider spat out white mucus, and in front of it, a little girl stood there, stunned.

Upon seeing the spider spitting out its slime, Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils constricted sharply, and she immediately shouted, "Watch out!"

However, it was too late. A white, viscous substance sprayed all over the little girl's body, sticking her firmly to the ground. The spider waved its front claws and swatted her several meters away!

Yukino Yukinoshita, staring at the horrifying scene, swallowed hard and stammered, "What kind of world is this?!"

Lin Mo took Yukino Yukinoshita's hand and asked, "Yukino, are you scared?"

Hearing Lin Mo's voice, Yukino Yukinoshita finally snapped out of her daze. She had no time to grieve for the dead little girl; she forced back her sorrow and fear and said, "Lin Mo, let's run away quickly!"

As she spoke, she tried to pull Lin Mo away from the spider monster, but she couldn't budge him at all.

Lin Mo looked at the giant spider and said, "Don't worry, Yukino, someone will take care of it. What a huge spider! Bear Grylls is overjoyed!"

Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously looked towards the spider, only to see two people approaching from a distance. One of them fired several shots at the spider, but to no avail, while the other young man's shot caused considerable damage.

Is it a special department?

Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita abandoned any thought of running away, since the two of them were quite far apart. Moreover, judging from the speed at which everyone was running, it was clear that this kind of thing happened frequently, so there must be a special department that handled such matters, and these two people in front of her were probably one of them.

The young man fired several shots, running out of bullets, but the monster was still not dead. The monster roared and pounced on the young man. At this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed by and kicked the spider to pieces!

The figure landed, and it was none other than the little girl who had just been swatted away by the spider's claw—Enju!

Yukino Yukinoshita stared blankly at the scene: "This is simply unbelievable."

Lin Mo sighed and said, "Yes, this world is really incredible."

Enjoying the protection of the Cursed Children while persecuting them with a clear conscience, this world has become so deformed that it is beyond redemption.

Lin Mo looked at Rentaro with disgust. To be honest, he was one of the men Lin Mo hated the most.

"Are you all alright?"

Rentaro and Enju jogged over and asked with concern.

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head to indicate that she was alright, and said, "We were far away and were not affected. On the contrary, you guys were not injured, were you?"

Yeonju laughed and said, "Gastreas like this are a piece of cake! Thank you, big sister, I heard your reminder."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "You're welcome. Anyway, I couldn't help you avoid the monster's attack."

Lin Mo suddenly spoke up: "Rentaro Satomi!"

Rentaro paused, then asked in confusion, "Sir, do we know each other?"

Lin Mo sneered, "I know you? I know you more than just know you, I wish I could tear you to pieces!"

Rentaro broke out in a cold sweat instantly and awkwardly laughed, "Sir, it's best not to make such jokes."

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly added, "Sorry! He's always like this, he'll suddenly say some nonsensical things, you don't need to worry about it."

Yeonju said somewhat unhappily, "You're so rude! I just saved you guys!"

Lin Mo remained unmoved, glaring at him and roaring, "Rentaro! What do you take the Child of Curses for?!"

Rentaro was stumped by the question and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Lin Mo snorted coldly and said, "I understand. Is this your answer?"

Rentaro: "Huh?"

Lin Mo: "Rentaro, I think you should know very well who has been holding this world together until now! But how are those heroes being treated? Are you going to keep pretending to be ignorant and continue to be indifferent and protect yourself? Think about it carefully, who are you fighting for? And what are you fighting for?"

Rentaro fell silent. He didn't know how to answer the question, because he had been avoiding it all along. He hadn't experienced the tragic world that lay ahead, hadn't truly understood his own heart, and was still living in a daze.

Enju noticed that Rentaro was acting strangely. She first tugged at his clothes, and when he didn't react, she glared at Lin Mo and said, "You're so annoying! We saved your life, and not only do you not appreciate it, but you also talk about Rentaro like that. Do you know how hard Rentaro worked to protect everyone?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent. Although she didn't know why Lin Mo would suddenly say such a thing, she chose to believe him, both because he was the one who brought her to this world and because they were friends, and friends should trust each other!

Seeing that Rentaro hadn't given an answer yet, Lin Mo snorted and turned to leave: "I thought you could change, but you're still the same as ever. You're as weak as ever!"

Yukino Yukinoshita bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry!"

Then she turned around and followed Lin Mo's steps.

Although she didn't understand why Lin Mo was so rude to that guy named Rentaro, Lin Mo seemed very familiar with this world, so he probably did something bad. Besides, she needed a quiet environment to properly learn about the specifics of this world from Lin Mo, such as the "cursed child" he mentioned.

Enju grasped Rentaro's hand and asked with concern, "Rentaro, are you alright?"

Rentaro shook his head, watched Lin Mo walk away, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Who exactly are you?!"

Lin Mo suddenly stopped and turned around, saying, "Who am I? I can't remember either. I've had many identities: a Master who gave up halfway, a deserter under the Emperor, a traveler who stopped, a Lord of Cinder who burned out, an assassin who gave up his assassination, and many others that I've forgotten. In this world, you can just call me the Destroyer of the World!"

Rentaro's pupils constricted sharply as he shouted, "What's your relationship with that guy who calls himself the Destroyer of the World?!"

Lin Mo sighed and said, "Rentaro, instead of worrying about this, you should worry about the impending disaster."

Rentaro: "What do you mean?"

Lin Mo: "Go ask the Holy Emperor yourself. Don't even think about coming along, or I can't guarantee what bad things might happen."

Thinking of the powerful force that claimed to be the destroyer of the world, Rentaro dared not make any rash moves for a moment, and just stood there silently watching Lin Mo leave.

Enju: "Rentaro?"

Rentaro smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, I'm just a little worried about what kind of disaster he's talking about."

Chapter 79 I Want to Destroy This World

After Lin Mo and Yukino Yukinoshita left, they went to a coffee shop, ordered two coffees, and sat there quietly.

Seeing Lin Mo's bad mood, Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a while before saying, "You seem to hate this world."

Lin Mo: "Indeed, after all, this world is truly rotten, one of the worlds I hate the most."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "If you don't mind, could you tell me about this world, such as the Cursed Children?"

Lin Mo: "Of course I don't mind, but I hope you're mentally prepared, because this isn't a wonderful world."

In just over ten minutes, Lin Mo gave a general overview of the world.

Yukino Yukinoshita said angrily, "Absurd! Absolutely absurd! Are all the people in this world idiots? Incompetent adults live a life of ease in the city while sending those children to fight to the death on the front lines! Not only do they not know how to be grateful, but they also have such a strong aversion to those children! Are their brains filled with water?!"

Lin Mo nodded in agreement and said, "That's why I hate this world so much, and I especially want to destroy it! But those children are innocent, and I can't act rashly before I've made arrangements for them."

Yukino Yukinoshita has lived in a society governed by law since childhood. The most severe punishment she can accept is sending the other party to prison. She doesn't even dare to think about things like murder, let alone destroying the world.

But after hearing Lin Mo's description of this world, Yukino Yukinoshita felt an urge to destroy it, because the way this world existed was so distorted, constantly challenging her values!

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath and said, "Lin Mo, do you have a way to save those children?"

Lin Mo nodded and said, "Yes, but I'm afraid things won't go as I expect."

If he were to use the "Explosive Transformation" ability, his altered intelligence would inevitably lead him to agonize over his dark past again. After a period of darkness and distortion, he would return to his original world at lightning speed to erase his past. That's why he doesn't want to use the "Explosive Transformation" ability; the unknown risks are too great.

I really don't understand what's so shameful about it. I'm just doing what I normally do, releasing my true nature that was previously bound by shame. Essentially, it's all things I want to do. Why be so extreme?

Lin Mo roughly knew what his regained intelligence would mean, but it was precisely because he knew that he despised his complete self. Gaining reason at the cost of happiness—was it really a worthwhile trade?

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately realized what Lin Mo meant. According to the description in the Bible, after Lin Mo regained his intelligence, he would start to destroy the world. His behavior before and after was completely different. Lin Mo was probably worried that he would not be able to stick to his current plan.

Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Could we give the Totem of Immortality to those children? I mean, let multiple people use it at the same time, so that we can add an extra layer of protection for their safety."

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the Undying Totem is bound to an individual and cannot be bound to multiple people."

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip, clenched her fists, and said, "Is there really no other way?"

Lin Mo turned to look out the window: "There are still ways, but they're not foolproof."

Just then, a little girl suddenly ran past him quickly, and behind her, two people were shouting and arresting her.

Seeing this familiar scene, Lin Mo was stunned for two seconds before he reacted. He immediately rushed over and said, "Yukino, wait for me for a moment, I have to take care of some things!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo ran out. Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a second, then decided to stay put. In this dangerous world, it was best not to wander off.

I hope Lin Mo is safe and sound.

Lin Mo immediately activated overclocking mode, kicked two policemen away, picked up the little girl, and returned to the coffee shop. All of this happened in just five seconds.

Yes, Lin Mo's body is getting stronger every day, so naturally the time he spends in overclocking mode is also increasing.

The little girl, dressed in tattered clothes, felt as if she had suddenly arrived in a strange place. She was stunned for a while before she realized what was happening and hurriedly got up to run away.

Lin Mo gripped her hand tightly and said, "If you don't want to die, stay here obediently."

Upon hearing this, the little girl's body trembled violently, and she sat down next to Lin Mo with a shaky body.

Yukino Yukinoshita, seeing the fear in the little girl's red eyes, widened her eyes and said, "Lin Mo, why did you suddenly grab a cursed child on the street!"

Lin Mo said irritably, "You make it sound like I'm a child trafficker. I'm saving her, okay? If I hadn't brought her here, she probably would have been killed by those two policemen."

Especially after her appearance triggered a butterfly effect, this little girl probably won't see Rentaro and the others again.

Yukino Yukinoshita exclaimed in shock, "How could this be! How could the police do such a thing!"

Lin Mo: "Yukino, don't forget that this is a deformed world. People in this world are like this. Whether they are normal people or children of the curse, in their minds, children of the curse are a symbol of bad luck. That's why children of the curse desperately kill Gastrea to prove themselves, even if they eventually become those ugly monsters themselves."

Yukino Yukinoshita clenched her fists tightly. Yes, she was still too naive. Even though it was a different world, and she had already understood this distorted social structure, she still subconsciously brought the common sense of her own world into this world.

Yukino Yukinoshita forced a smile and said, "Hello little sister, we're not bad people. My name is Yukino Yukinoshita, and the older brother next to you is Lin Mo. What's your name?"

The little girl shrank back in fear, first glancing at Lin Mo, and only after finding him lost in thought did she cautiously say, "My name is Zhihua. Thank you for saving me. May I ask what you need me for?"

Although Zhihua was initially a little scared, thinking that the other party also wanted to torture her like the policeman from before, she learned from their conversation that they seemed to be good people. Even if they were bad people, her fate wouldn't be much better than before, so she decided to trust them a little.

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and said, "Tomoka, that's a very nice name. Why were you arrested by the police?"

Zhihua: "Because I stole something."

Yukino Yukinoshita was about to say that stealing was wrong, but when she saw the other person's disheveled appearance and tattered clothes, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

This is no longer my original world.

Yukino Yukinoshita said to herself once again.

Lin Mo suddenly spoke up: "It's stolen food, right?"

Tomoka nodded and said, "Yeah, because I haven't eaten for several days, I couldn't resist, so I went to the convenience store to steal some food, but I was caught before I could do it. I really didn't mean to steal anything, I was just too hungry, and everyone else hadn't eaten for several days either, I just... wanted to survive."

For these children of the curse, simply surviving is a luxury beyond measure.

Lin Mo silently looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and said, "Yukino, I want to destroy this world. You will support me, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked into Lin Mo's calm eyes, but hidden within those eyes was endless rage!

She bit her lip and said:

"I……"
