Zongman: My Smart Group

Rikka Takanashi: "Wait! What did you just say would happen after drinking it?"

Yukino Yukinoshita walked over with a worried look on her face: "You didn't actually drink anything, did you?"

Lin Mo: "Of course I really drank it. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression changed, and she quickly asked, "Is there an antidote?"

Lin Mo replied matter-of-factly, "Of course not!"

Upon hearing this, Kazuma Sato and Hachiman Hikigaya instantly felt immense respect for Lin Mo. This Lin Mo was no ordinary person; he was willing to sacrifice himself to deceive them! He was a ruthless bastard! Should they join him in, considering how much Lin Mo had sacrificed?

Rikka Takanashi was startled and quickly reached out to grab between Lin Mo's legs, but immediately withdrew her hand after touching the large python.

Lin Mo quickly took a few steps back, one hand covering his chest and the other his lower body, and asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was also shocked by Rikka Takanashi's actions and immediately scolded her angrily, "Takanashi! How can you be so shameless!"

Rikka Takanashi stared blankly at her hand and exclaimed, "It's so big!"

Lin Mo blushed and said, "Even if you praise me, I will never forgive you! You have tainted my innocence, how can I ever marry anyone again! Waaah~"

Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment before realizing what Rikka Takanashi was talking about, and then blushed and said, "You didn't turn into a girl?"

Lin Mo said irritably, "Isn't that obvious? If it could work on me, why would I drink it?"

Kazuma Sato/Hachiman Hikigaya: Give us back the emotions we felt, you bastard!

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita and Rikka Takanashi breathed a sigh of relief.

Takanashi Rikka stepped forward and said, "Lin Mo, don't be afraid that you won't be able to get married in the future. At worst, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life!"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned and said coldly, "Heh~ Takanashi-kun, I'll say the same thing to you: Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone."

Rikka Takanashi retorted defiantly, "What I possess is the Evil King's True Eye, not some hidden agenda. How could everyone possibly know that!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

I checked the backend and found that one of the original supporters also tipped for the "Master Certification" and a "Big Health Care" gift. Thank you so much, I never noticed before!

Thank you so much to the generous donor "Love That Never Fades"!

Chapter 147 The Death of Kazuma Sato

Meanwhile, Hachiman Hikigaya and Kazuma Sato, who had been overlooked, immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity. Lin Mo was already caught in the middle of a chaotic situation and had no time to care about them, so if they didn't run now, when would they?

Hesitation for even a second would be disrespectful to one's own gender. The two exchanged a glance, silently and discreetly made their way to the door, and then turned and ran away when no one was looking.

The loud bang of the door opening drew everyone's attention. Following the sound, they saw the two figures fleeing. Lin Mo's expression changed instantly, and he shouted, "You two, stop right there! Overclock mode, activate!"

The two fleeing men's expressions changed when they heard Lin Mo was about to activate overclocking mode, because Lin Mo was truly invincible in this state! So they used every ounce of strength they had to increase their chances of escaping.

After Lin Mo shouted, he immediately chased after her, but turned back after only two steps. Damn it, he forgot that he had already used up all the overclocking modes for today.

Lin Mo said listlessly, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. You two can continue your conversation."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Mo went home to wash up and go to bed.

The next day, Lin Mo suddenly sat up. He had even dreamt that Hachiman Hikigaya and Kazuma Sato had turned into beautiful women the day before. This had become a mental obsession for him, so even the sleepiness he felt after waking up disappeared instantly. After a quick wash, he immediately rushed to school.

Upon arriving at school, Lin Mo ran straight to Hachiman Hikigaya's class without hesitation. Sure enough, our great teacher was peeking at the entire class from his desk.

Lin Mo made a shushing gesture to Yui Yuigahama, then slowly walked to Hachiman Hikigaya's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Good morning, Hachiman!"

The familiar voice and familiar movements sent a chill down Hachiman Hikigaya's spine. He buried his head in his arms, trying to make Lin Mo ignore him.

But it's obvious that it's a waste of time.

Lin Mo suddenly picked up Hachiman Hikigaya and said excitedly, "Hachiman, it's been so long, you must be thirsty. I'll give you some water right now."

Hachiman Hikigaya covered his mouth with both hands and said, "No need. Actually, Kazuma Sato is thirstier. You should go find him."

Lin Mo: "Hey~ what are you saying? Come on, drink up! You don't want me to force you, do you?"

Hachiman Hikigaya broke out in a cold sweat. Was he really going to be caught in this situation today? Was he really going to become a woman? Was he really going to go from being a stay-at-home husband to a stay-at-home wife?

Hmm? It doesn't seem like it's impossible.

No! How could I possibly become a woman? I absolutely refuse to change my gender! Hachiman Hikigaya, use your brilliant mind and come up with a solution!

Lin Mo had just reached out and pried open Hachiman Hikigaya's mouth when Hachiman immediately shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Lin Mo indeed stopped what he was doing and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Um... um... right! Big brother, you know me, I'm absolutely loyal to you. I happen to have some top-secret information to tell you!"

Lin Mo immediately became interested and asked, "What intelligence?"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Kazuma Sato is going to betray you!"

Lin Mo was instantly enraged upon hearing this: "How could this be!"

Seeing that his words had worked, Hachiman Hikigaya continued, "That's right! I noticed something was off with Kazuma Sato starting yesterday. After testing him, I found that his loyalty was all an act. He's actually your number one rebel leader, and I reckon he's plotting a rebellion right now. Brother, you'd better hurry over there, or things might change!"

Because Sato Kazuma had tricked him once yesterday, Hikigaya Hachiman was ruthless in his trickery, showing no remorse whatsoever.

Lin Mo's eyes blazed with fury, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "That Sato Kazuma! No wonder he's known as the King of Demons. I've treated him well, yet he dares to betray me. I'm going over there right now to verify the situation. If it's true, you'll reward him handsomely!"

After saying that, Lin Mo ran out in a flash. Hachiman Hikigaya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and went to ask for leave without even packing his things. After all, everything just now was a fabrication he made up to exonerate himself. If Lin Mo found out the truth, he would probably be in even worse shape!

So if you don't run now, when will you?

Lin Mo made his way to Sato Kazuma's classroom with a burst of sparks and lightning. He grabbed someone at random and, after learning that Sato Kazuma had indeed not come to school, he became even more convinced of Hikigaya Hachiman's words: Sato Kazuma did indeed have rebellious intentions!

Lin Mo: "No, I can't just sit here and wait to die. I have to take the initiative!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo went straight to Hiratsuka Shizuka's office, pushed open the door and said directly, "Hiratsuka-sensei, I need to ask for leave!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was smoking, dropped her cigarette in shock. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was Lin Mo, stubbed out her cigarette, cleared her throat, and said, "Oh, it's Lin Mo. What's up now?"

Lin Mo: "There's no time to explain, Professor Hiratsuka! Quickly grant me leave, I need to go and quell the rebellion!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a headache coming on and sighed, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, can you tell me the whole story first?"

Lin Mo gave a brief explanation of the situation.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "So, you want to take leave to see what Sato Kazuma is doing, and why the school isn't open, right?"

Lin Mo: "That's roughly the gist of it. Hiratsuka-sensei, things are bound to change sooner or later. Hurry up and approve my leave!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Lin Mo with some relief. The child had grown up. In the past, he probably would have run away. It would have been a blessing if he could ask someone to send him a message, let alone come to her office in person to ask for leave. So this leave must be approved!

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand and said, "Alright, I agree! But speaking of which, do you know where Sato Kazuma's house is?"

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback and asked the system, "System, do you know where Sato Kazuma's house is?"

The system shrugged and said, "Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. I don't know either."

Lin Mo: "Useless system, leave the group!"

Seeing Lin Mo's changing expression, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew that Lin Mo didn't know, so she sighed and said, "Really, you two are supposed to be best friends, and you don't even know each other's home address. Let me ask you."

After some time, Lin Mo finally got Sato Kazuma's home address and then used the system to navigate directly to his house!

Kazuma Sato, here I come!

………………

"I'm sorry, Kazuma... he has passed away."

"At the Sato residence," Sato's mother said, her eyes red.

Lin Mo's eyes widened instantly, and it took him a while to say, "How is that possible!"

Sato's mother: "That's true. Yesterday afternoon, on his way home, he saw a girl about to be hit by a dump truck, and he stepped in to help her..."

Sato's mother suddenly stopped, her head trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Lin Mo immediately understood that the plot was starting to unfold. He looked forward and patted Sato's mother on the shoulder, saying, "Please accept my condolences!"

"Pfft—Hahaha!!"

Sato's mother, clutching her stomach, laughed and said, "Even though the dump truck had stopped, he was so scared that he lost control of his bladder. When he was taken to the hospital, even the doctors couldn't stop laughing. In the end, he died of shame, hahaha... Sorry, sorry, I made him laugh so hard!"

Sadness is sadness, and humor is humor; let's not let either interfere with each other.

Chapter 148 Are you surprised? Is it surprising?

Actually, Lin Mo didn't want to laugh, after all, respect for the dead is paramount, but he didn't expect that even Sato's mother, his own mother, couldn't help but laugh, so what did he have to worry about?

"Hahaha... Kazuma, you died a good death... Hahaha..."

And so, after offering three sticks of incense to Kazuma Sato, Lin Mo went back. Although Kazuma Sato's death was hilarious, he was dead after all. This meant that there would never be another Kazuma Sato called the King of Demons in this world. He had to go back and hold a farewell ceremony!

During the second period in the morning, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Lin Mo in surprise. She didn't expect that he would come back to class after visiting his friends. What a studious child!

Around noon, Lin Mo sent a message in the group chat, summoning the entire "Three Heads and Six Arms" team to the Service Department.

Lin Mo stood by the window, wearing sunglasses, looking up at the sun with her eyes closed, exuding a melancholy aura.

"Yah hello..."

Yui Yuigahama greeted him warmly as she walked in. Seeing Lin Mo standing in the sun, sweating profusely, she asked in confusion, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with Xiao Mo?"

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It's been like this ever since we came in, and he won't tell us even if we ask him."

After a while, the three-headed, six-armed team arrived! Finally, everyone was present!

Looking at Lin Mo's melancholy expression, Rikka Takanashi's eyes flickered slightly. She took a deep breath and said, "San-tachi, what urgent matter did you call us here for?"

Satania: "Yes, I didn't even have lunch before I rushed over."

Hearing the voice behind him, Lin Mo turned around, wiped the sweat from the corner of his eyes, and said heavily, "The Demon King is dead."

"what!"

The three-headed, six-armed group was utterly shocked, instinctively thinking that Lin Mo was joking.

Rikka Takanashi: "How is that possible? Everything was fine yesterday!"

Satania: "Yeah, they were alive and kicking yesterday, but we might be dead today!"

Sanae Dekomori: "He hadn't even supported our three heads and six arms combination yet! Ah! How could he die so easily!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, on the other hand, remained relatively calm, believing that Lin Mo was up to some abstract scheme again.

Lin Mo: "Sigh~ Life is unpredictable. I really didn't expect a perfectly healthy person to suddenly die, but it's an undeniable fact. I've already gone to his house to confirm. The Demon King—Sato Kazuma—is indeed dead. He...he...hahahaha!!!"

As they were talking, Lin Mo suddenly burst out laughing. Yukino Yukinoshita looked like she knew it, it seemed Lin Mo was up to his old tricks again.

Rikka Takanashi asked in confusion, "Lin Mo, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Mo: "The King of Demons... to save a girl who was almost hit by a dump truck, he risked his life to rush forward, hahaha... who knew the dump truck would stop, but the King of Demons was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and fainted. When he was rushed to the hospital, he couldn't stand the ridicule from the doctors and his parents, and in the end, he died of shame, hahaha..."

Thinking of that scene again, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud. The others tried to put on a sad expression, but they couldn't help but laugh out loud as well.

"Hahaha……"

Satania: "What the hell is this? How can there be such a hilarious way to die in the world? Hahaha... No, no, when I get to hell I have to ask him how he felt."

Rikka Takanashi: "Damn it, I should have been crying, hahaha... why can't I stop laughing? You sadistic king, your death was hilarious!"

Sanae Dekomori: "Are there really people in the world who die like this? You can't be joking, right? Hahaha..."

Yui Yuigahama: "Hahaha... This is so funny, hahaha..."

Yukino Yukinoshita remained calm, though a slight smile played at the corners of her lips.

After everyone laughed for a while, Lin Mo quickly raised his hand to stop them, cleared his throat twice, and said, "That's enough, folks. Although the King of Demons died in a very funny way, he is indeed dead after all. Let's give him some face. I've decided to go to his house to pay our respects after school. What do you guys think?"

Rikka Takanashi: "Although we only spent a short time together, he was still a member of our 'Three Heads, Six Arms' team! It's really necessary to pay our respects to him."

After discussing their plan, the group began to eat, which lasted until the afternoon.

With the help of Komachi Hikigaya, Lin Mo successfully brought Hachiman Hikigaya out of the house and then took a taxi to Kazuma Sato's house.

Lin Mo said with exasperation, "Hachiman, I have to say something to you. The Demon King is our close friend after all. How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless? You even look so unwilling!"

Hachiman Hikigaya remained silent, not believing a word about Kazuma Sato's death. After all, Lin Mo had a smile on his face when talking about it, and given Lin Mo's impressive status, he didn't believe he would be indifferent to Kazuma Sato's death.
