When faced with a hostage situation, the police should first send out negotiators to figure out the other party's purpose and meet their demands in order to prevent the hostage from being killed.

However, they soon received a strange request: that major media outlets broadcast the event live.

"Are these guys trying to become famous?"

"Kidnapping a student just for this? That's absurd!"

Even police officers who have witnessed all kinds of crimes found it outrageous.

They had no choice but to agree, though the process of getting people to come over wasn't quick, in order to secure more support.

Until after dark.

Under threat from four men in black robes, the reporter, carrying a live-streaming camera, hurriedly arrived late and entered the classroom alone.

"Wait a minute, let me check on my phone to see if you're live streaming."

Naoto Akutagawa did not believe it easily and verified it first.

"Good evening, everyone. We have an urgent news briefing..."

Left with no other option, the reporter was forced to turn on the camera and feign composure, displaying professionalism.

Upon seeing his own black robes appear on the television screen, Naoto Akutagawa let out a wild laugh, then threw off his hood and roared, "I am a follower of the Holy Principles sect, and today I'm here to tell you a terrifying truth: this world is actually an illusion! Beneath the surface world, there exists an underworld! Demons, evil spirits, and all sorts of superpowered beings truly exist..."

His words and his expression were clearly reflected on the live television program.

"I know you won't believe me just by saying it, but I'll prove it to you now..."

One of the men in black robes took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and then put the pills inside into the students' mouths.

"I...I don't want to!"

The students tried to resist, but they were no match for him and were forced to swallow the pills.

Naoto Akutagawa looked on with anticipation as the medicine took effect.

This is a failed 'secret medicine' passed down from the sect, which can turn people into monsters.

Once the changes occur and are broadcast live to the world, his goal will be achieved.

After all, the 'enhancement' they received didn't involve such obvious, extraordinary changes.

However, after a minute, nothing happened...

"How could this be?"

Even he and the others in black robes couldn't believe it.

"Pat-pat...pat-pat...pat-pat..."

Just then, the sound of footsteps suddenly became clear.

Everyone's attention was instinctively drawn to the figure that seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Volume 4: 19 Passerby Male Protagonists

When did they get close to us?

At this moment, all the men in black robes present had the same thought.

They had all undergone 'transformation' by the sect, and their senses and physical abilities were far beyond those of ordinary people. Earlier, some police officers had approached to test them, but they gave up the idea after being warned by them, which led to this standoff.

The reporter also tensed up immediately.

Because she hadn't heard from anyone else that there would be such an arrangement, wouldn't that make her part of the hostages as well?

"The signal is cut off?"

Meanwhile, staff members who were broadcasting live noticed the incident and quickly informed government officials near the school.

"Has someone broken in?"

"Who arranged this?"

Those present were all puzzled, and then their expressions changed drastically.

Could it be that someone is planning to do a heroic deed?

If we anger those people and cause death or injury, then the nature of the situation will change!

.......

As the footsteps get closer.

The people in the classroom finally saw the newcomer.

However, to their surprise, they couldn't see each other's appearance or attire at all, as if the other person was shrouded in a layer of mist.

"who are you!?"

Naoto Akutagawa, who held a dominant position in the group, raised a question, while the other men in black robes looked on warily.

"what!"

The reporter covered his mouth, his face filled with horror and disbelief at the mysterious phenomenon.

"Passers-by."

"Izumi Hanasekawa said slowly."

After sensing the intense malice and strange aura, he came over to see what was going on.

"Are you here to obstruct us? Even if you are an 'ability user,' if you offend our Holy Principles Sect..."

"so annoying."

Although the crowd couldn't see through the person in front of them, they could clearly feel the impatience and disdain in him.

"How dare you look down on the Holy Church!"

Akutagawa Naoto and the others had long regarded the sect as something more important than their own lives. When something sacred was insulted before their eyes, they were filled with envy and anger. Even though they knew that the newcomer was unfathomable, they were determined to make him pay the price.

"Pitiful."

Hasegawa Izumi's slightly pitying gaze fell on them.

They're just another group of ordinary people who've been misled.

People with broken hearts can be 'inspired' even without relying on special abilities, using hypnotic techniques.

Naoto Akutagawa and the others were too lazy to listen to him anymore. They all took out other small medicine bottles from their pockets and drank them down in one gulp.

"what!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of the reporters and several students, the four underwent a transformation. Their bodies and bones began to stretch and expand, and their hair suddenly grew to their waists, as if they had become some kind of alien monster.

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

His soft question was like a wake-up call, pulling the reporters and students out of their fear and giving them renewed energy so they could run out of the classroom.

He did not delete the memories.

In any case, in this era, extraordinary beings will eventually be known to the public.

How things will unfold next is not for him to decide.

"Clap."

With a forceful pull of their arms, the medicine bottle shattered.

"Some means of stimulating life force, which doesn't seem to be entirely driven by ability, and the material doesn't seem to originate from Earth?"

Hasegawa Izumi narrowed her eyes, noticing something amiss.

At this moment, the four alien monsters, who had lost their minds, launched an attack without warning. Their movements were similar to those of apes, but their speed was much faster. With each leap and bound, the ground was shattered, and fists larger than sandbags were within reach in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, his spiritual energy spread out, enveloping all directions. While blocking the attack, it also redirected the force of the punch back several times over, sending the four monsters flying away at an even faster speed than when they arrived.

Just as their bodies hit the wall, they were stopped as if they had encountered something harder than metal. Instead of flying through the wall, they slid to the ground and quickly returned to their original form, passing out cleanly and decisively.

He put his hands back in his pockets, turned his head, and disappeared from the spot.

......

"problem occurs!"

"Yes, there's a monster..."

"And, I don't know where it came from..."

On the other side, the reporters and students, after fleeing in a panic, still couldn't hide their shock.

The police officers rushed to greet them.

"You guys keep watch, let me talk to them."

One of the police officers present immediately became alert and beckoned to keep the few people in the know behind to talk to him.

Amidst the chatter of reporters and students, the police inspector quickly grasped the situation and, taking it very seriously, pulled out his phone and dialed a mysterious number.

This matter is beyond their capabilities.

"I understand. Someone will be there to handle it soon."

After receiving confirmation of support, he relaxed and turned to say:

"You guys, don't spread this around. Just keep it to yourselves."

The reporters and students nodded obediently, and after reflecting on what they had just heard, a hint of excitement shone in their eyes.

Supernatural forces really do exist in this world!

Knowing this, they felt a sense of pride compared to those who were ignorant.

Because it was located near the port area, the personnel from the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau quickly arrived at the scene. The person was a young man in a suit and wearing sunglasses.

"What's your name?"

The inspector walked over, his attitude warm and friendly.

"No need to be so formal, just call me Nishino."

The young man in sunglasses turned to look at the school, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What's wrong, Nishino-san?"

"Without any fighting, does that mean it's over?"

"Really? But we didn't see anyone come out. Could it be that both sides suffered heavy losses?"

"I'll go in and take a look."

Do you need support?

"Hmm... I think it's better not to."

After thinking about it, Nishino rejected the suggestion. Although the pistol was threatening, it could become a hindrance if not handled properly.

Soon, he entered the classroom where the students had been tied up, and found only four ragged men in black robes leaning against the wall and lying on the ground.

"hiss......"

He imagined the situation and gasped.

The mysterious figure swiftly and decisively defeated the four individuals with terrifying power, while also effortlessly protecting the wall. Finally, he left the completely sealed-off scene without anyone noticing...

"There are really a lot of monsters in this world as strong as that woman."

......

Meanwhile, in a secret basement.

"High Priest, this is the result of their work; it's almost 99% successful..."

Several men dressed similarly in black robes reported the news to the white-robed priest sitting on the altar.

"It's alright, just a minor accident. As long as our names spread, that's enough. Now let's prepare the next plan. I believe those people won't be able to refuse the bait we've thrown out."

Without turning his head, the high priest gazed at the strange, human-like body on the altar and spoke calmly.

"Yes."

Then, the huge basement fell silent.
