"Now that you have obtained the Ice Fruit, have you ever thought about using its power to break free from the constraints on yourself?"

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded with a complicated expression.

“It’s the same idea.”

“When there is no choice, people can only choose to accept it.”

"But once people are empowered and given other options, human nature tends to be broken through through repeated indulgence."

Chapter 116 The Problem of Human Nature

After the special forces completed all the clearing work, the regular police from the Metropolitan Police Department began to investigate the back mountain.

Naturally, Megure Jusan also saw the laboratory hidden underground in the drug dealers' residence.

"..."

Even after working as a policeman for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such a tragic situation.

It would be fine if it were just middle-aged and elderly people, but now there are several bodies of children. This is a very serious matter.

Megure Jusan lowered his hat.

"It seems that the situation on this island is much more complicated than I thought."

I originally thought that as long as the drug dealers were controlled, the only things left would be the items needed to make drugs.

All we have to do is transfer the drugs and institutional equipment that need to be dealt with.

But he really thought things were simple.

Now that the facts were before his eyes, Megure Jusan realized that he had been too simple-minded.

In addition to drug dealers, there are dozens of murders with very serious impacts.

Megure Jusan walked over and looked at the data and formulas posted on the laboratory table.

Those lines of cold words pricked his nerves.

There were no names of the corpses on it, but the words seemed to be the names of the corpses.

Megure Juzo is also a passionate policeman.

Seeing this scene, his teeth were sore from gritting their teeth.

But the more this happened, the more he knew he needed to calm down.

He immediately called his boss. The most important thing now was the report on the clearing mission.

"Inspector Matsumoto, the cleanup mission is complete."

"The back mountain is definitely a drug dealer's base and also a drug dealer's laboratory."

"It's a drug-making laboratory."

"..."

Inspector Matsumoto frowned. When he heard Megure's voice, he knew there was something else behind it.

"Besides making drugs, is there anything else?"

"Yes."

Megure Jusan prepared himself mentally before continuing.

"We discovered a hidden laboratory beneath the drug lab."

"There were dozens of bodies inside, including old people, middle-aged men and women, young people, and even children."

"We are certain that drug traffickers are using living people to develop new drugs."

"!?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face changed.

Live experiments on dozens of corpses are no joke.

Such behavior is almost anti-human.

In the past, drug traffickers simply used drug trafficking as a means of making money, but what are they trying to do now? Not content with the old types of drugs, are they planning to develop new ones? Even using human subjects for experimentation?

Who gave them such courage?

Matsumoto Seinaga understood that there was no way to conceal this matter, especially with the Metropolitan Police Department taking such a big action.

Therefore, this time, the purpose is to completely liquidate the drug dealers.

And God knows whether the experimental data has been circulated among drug dealers.

If other drug dealers really develop more advanced drugs, the nature of this matter will be completely different.

"Megure, take care of the situation first."

"I need a more detailed report."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Megure Jusan looked at the corpses that had not yet completely decayed, and his heart felt extremely heavy.

Those who have died need to be investigated one by one.

Needless to say, this is the people of this island.

Identities need to be confirmed, and that is what must be done today.

Thinking that it is the weekend today, I should be resting at home with my wife.

But he also knew that some things had to be done by someone.

It's obvious that he needs to apologize to his wife.

I'm afraid I won't have time to spend with my wife at least this week.

The girls in the hot spring hotel felt much better after resting for a while.

Unfortunately, they probably have no appetite for food today.

"Ugh... I'm so sad..."

After vomiting repeatedly, Fujiwara Chika felt as if she had even vomited out stomach acid.

She was so exhausted that she could only lean on Amemiya.

Only in this way could she feel a little at ease. At least being with Amemiya could suppress her fear and nausea about some taboo scenes.

Faced with this girl with a somewhat eccentric personality, Amamiya Ren didn't have any good ideas.

He himself had very little experience in dealing with girls, so he could only subconsciously treat them as he would treat his friends.

He patted Fujiwara's back gently as before to ease her uncomfortable feeling.

"That's why I said there are some things that are not suitable for you to see."

"Hmm...I now feel that these words are true."

Fujiwara Chika now understands how unsuitable it is.

It's not about the incompatibility between men and women, but about the incompatibility of the concept of human beings.

Regardless of gender, seeing such a scene would make people feel extremely uncomfortable.

That doesn't mean you can adapt just by doing so.

Looking back now, Fujiwara Chika still feels uncomfortable, and still has a strong feeling that makes her want to vomit.

Especially seeing the bodies of those children who were less than ten years old.

She found it hard to imagine what kind of torture those children had endured in their lives that caused their bodies to become so distorted after death.

"What on earth happened to them?"

Amamiya Ren gently patted Fujiwara's forehead.

"Don't think about what happened to the deceased before he died. That's not something the living should think about."

"If you don't rely on intelligence support for that kind of problem, it will only bring you endless internal friction."

"It may even cause some psychological problems."

Touching her forehead that had been hit, Fujiwara Chika gave up her previous thoughts.

“So what should we be thinking about?”

This is a very good question. When Fujiwara Chika asked this question, other people's attention was also diverted.

"What we need to consider in this issue is how to maintain 597 humanity."

"Humanity? Is it because drug dealers have no humanity?"

"That's right, drug dealers don't have any humanity."

Amemiya Ren nodded slightly, then looked at Shinomiya.

"Do you remember what I just said to you, Shinomiya-san?"

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly.

“Once people gain power, they will unconsciously cross the bottom line of human nature.”

This sentence was just said, but Kaguya Shinomiya also agreed with it deeply.

“Losing humanity means losing the ability to empathize.”

“Losing the ability to empathize means gradually losing one’s humanity.”

"Then, can a person who has lost his humanity still be called a human being?"

"And someone who loses their humanity because of power is no longer a human being, but a monster with power."

This is a topic about human nature, and it is also an issue that Amamiya Ren believes is very important.

The sequential path is the path of humanity.

Even a true God who becomes Sequence 0 needs an anchor to stabilize his humanity.

Therefore, gods cannot abandon their humanity and cannot become monsters bound by power.

If it really comes to that, whether it is oneself who controls the power or the beast controlled by the power, I am afraid that even the person involved will not be able to give an accurate answer.

Chapter 117 Self-restraint is not frustration

“Human nature is something that is difficult to explain.”

"I'm not a very experienced person, nor do I have the knowledge of those upper-class people. I'm just an ordinary person."

"My understanding of human nature is also very superficial, not that profound."

Amamiya Ren thought that she was not a knowledgeable professor and could not speak eloquently to so many people who were smarter than her.

All he could say was that he had only a superficial understanding.

“I think human nature is a manifestation of desire.”

"People who have no desires have lost their humanity. I don't think there are really people without desires in this world."

"Perhaps, even gods cannot achieve the state of having no desires or demands."

"If that's the case, then perhaps gods don't need so-called faith, or even power."

"But without power and faith, can a god still be honored as a god?"

"So, gods actually have human nature."

"So, I also believe that desire and emotion are the most intuitive manifestation of human nature."

But suddenly Amamiya Ren changed the subject.

"Of course, I'm not talking about endless desires and emotions, but emotional fluctuations that are within one's control."
