I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 71 Human Relief Society

"Let me reintroduce myself,"

The girl, who had been kneeling obediently on the ground, dropped her disguise.

"I am Hina Hongo, 17 years old, the president of the Human Relief Association and the head of the Hongo Zaibatsu."

"You so-called human relief organization, it..."

Is it legitimate?
Qiu Riyou touched her chin, thinking that it sounded a bit like a cult.

"You've misunderstood, Mr. Akihi Yu."

"The 'Human Relief Society' that I lead disdains swindling money and sex."

"Instead, it aims to promote human evolution: with the development of technological civilization, humans have become heavily reliant on external things, neglecting the exploration of their own potential, and the development of civilization has reached a distorted level!"

Hongo Hina's righteous and resolute answer was completely unlike her previous cheerful and carefree demeanor.

"Modern humans are increasingly inclined towards enjoyment and decadence. They are not only not evolving, but even regressing! Sooner or later, their increasingly fragile bodies, dulled senses, and narrow minds will no longer be able to support the progress of civilization, and they will only become parasites that depend on civilization to survive!"

"To this end, the 'Human Relief Society' will explore all traditional means: medicine, asceticism, and combat, to promote the further evolution of humanity!"

So,
The girl in front of me is young, but her strength is not to be underestimated. It turns out that she is a product of extreme conditions.

The so-called 'young lady' is just a disguise; her true identity is:

"It's just a terrorist organization, isn't it?"

Girl, what you're doing is far more harmful than a cult; it's already an anti-humanitarian act.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Autumn?"

However, the girl retorted with a look of surprise.

"With the arrival of the extraordinary, it has been proven that martial arts, witchcraft, mythology, and religion—these abandoned and lost civilizations—are real."

"What we, the Relief for Humanity, are doing is on the right path!"

Feel sorry,

Without me, you would just be terrorists.

Just by listening to the other person's explanation, Akihi Yu had already sketched out a rough outline in her mind, but just to be on the safe side:

"let me see."

He raised his hand and placed it on the girl's head. Amidst her puzzled expression, he activated the secret mountain technique!
Hongo Hime's earliest memory
They live in an organization called the 'Army of Gods'.

This organization was founded by a man: he wore glasses and looked like a researcher.

In fact, this man was indeed a researcher, and a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo. However, he was different from ordinary people; he had a dream: to create superhumans!

If he had channeled his talents in the right direction, he might have become a top biologist. But the man chose the most radical path: building his own power, the "Army of Gods," training assassins, recruiting orphans, and conducting human experiments.

Of course, all of these cost money.

Hina Hongo was an orphan recruited by this organization.

After undergoing brutal drug trials and bloody battles, the girl emerged victorious and became the man's 'daughter'.

Then comes the classic "father-making" plot: a strong and intelligent young woman secretly gathers a group of people loyal to her and betrays her "father" to the government!

Even terrorist organizations, facing the behemoth that is the island nation's government, had little power to resist and were quickly eliminated. Meanwhile, Hina Hongo, as a 'victim,' smoothly walked in the sunlight, enjoying the life of an 'ordinary' high school girl.

He secretly gathered his former 'subordinates' and established a new organization, the 'Human Relief Society,' to continue its development.

Well, incidentally, he also controlled the "Hongo Zaibatsu" as his financial backing.

What kind of "Dragon Overlord" or "Phoenix Overlord" script is this?

Under the girl's questioning gaze, Akihi Yu withdrew her 'head-patting' hand.

"So, you want to become extraordinary?"

"Correct!"

Although the girl betrayed her father, she had grown up in that environment and her understanding of the theory of 'human evolution' was deeply ingrained.

This extraordinary rebirth is nothing short of an 'apocalypse' for her!
"I know this from your memories."

Qiu Riyou squinted. He knew that the island nation and America had created 'artificial superhumans', but he didn't know the details. However, this 'young lady' Hongo Hina actually knew the secrets: because among the people who participated in the experiment were members of her 'Human Relief Society'!

People from island nations often join all sorts of strange and unusual clubs, gatherings, and religions; this is quite normal.

"By utilizing the blood of extraordinary beings, 'extraordinary serum' can be extracted. In other words—"

You want my blood?

Girl,

You have a way to die!
"If possible, that would be ideal. However:"

Hongo Hime readily admitted it, then changed the subject.

"By the time I was ready to do that, I'd be a corpse by now, wouldn't I?"

"Since Your Excellency Qiu Ri is able to 'read' memories, you should also know the purpose of my trip."

The girl showed no panic about her memories being 'read'. When preparing to face her brother Xiao Qiong, she had made all the necessary preparations: including being instantly killed!

She is indeed a "superhuman" carefully cultivated by the "Army of Gods," but only compared to ordinary people; when facing the extraordinary, she could end up in any situation.

"Asking me for help is not out of the question."

In the girl's memory, her 'Human Relief Society' had already obtained information about the location of a 'wild' superhuman and was preparing to take him down quietly.

In order to avoid attracting the government's attention, it would be best to also possess 'extraordinary' abilities to suppress the other party.

That's why there was that probing just now.

What's in it for me?

"Money? Women? Power? If Yu-kun has any needs, our Human Relief Association can provide them!"

After saying that, the girl put her hands together, looking youthful and adorable.

"Please, Xiaoqiong's brother~~"

However, after seeing the other person's memories, Akihi Yuu will not be deceived by her appearance.

"In your memory, the success rate of the 'superhuman serum' is very low, right?"

"That kind of thing, for most humans..."

It's just as poisonous as a deadly poison!
"Hehehe~~ If humanity wants to break through limitations and evolve to a higher level, it naturally has to bear the corresponding price."

The girl looked up and answered with a smile.

"Those who survive become the new humans, and those who die are simply eliminated by nature."

"Just as Homo sapiens replaced Neanderthals, the remnants of the old era will inevitably make way for the new humans!"

As for how many casualties it will cause?

Hina Hongo had no concept of 'compassion' whatsoever.

Girl, even I, a self-proclaimed "Datongmu," find your remarks too extreme.

But...

"Okay, I'll just consider it helping my sister's friend out."

Akihiro reached out and helped the other person up: Regardless of how much 'superhuman serum' a superhuman can extract, and when it will be the turn of ordinary people; the other person's actions were essentially helping Akihiro advance his plan.

There's no reason to refuse.

"Let's go, don't keep Qiong and the others waiting."

As for her informing on the government? What a joke, she's the terrorist!

Having read the other person's memories, Akihi Yuu understood this girl's personality better than anyone else: her usual pampered young lady persona wasn't just a facade; in fact, that was her true nature. However, to cope with the rigorous training, she also had another 'mad personality' responsible for combat.

In short, as long as it doesn't trigger a 'manic personality,' she can be treated as a normal, lively young lady. She's not bad as a stepping stone into the world of superhumans.

Network Department

"you."

An inquisitive gaze swept over Akihi Yu, while Akihi Sora, sitting in front of the computer, repeatedly scrutinized her own department head.

"Why so fast?"

???

Just as Akihi Yu was about to speak in defense, Hongo Hime stepped forward and hugged Akihi Sora from behind, her breasts pressing against her shoulders.

"I'm so heartbroken, Xiaoqiong."

"Even though I've been training so hard, I can't even touch the hem of your brother's clothes."

"minister,"

"Your so-called training is just two days of karate practice?"

In Akihi Sora's eyes, her own club president was just an athletic girl, how could her physical fitness possibly compare to her brother's?
Although in a sense, her judgment was not wrong.

"Relax, relax~~"

"do not mind the details."

Hina Hongo sat in front of a computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

"We invited you two here today because of a large amount of supernatural information that has recently surfaced: there are many dangerous entities involved, so please be extra careful when going out at night~~"

"This valuable intelligence was collected by members of the network department, right? Would you let us see it for free?"

In response to Nao's cautious question, Hongo Hime waved her hand magnanimously.

"It doesn't matter,"

"I'm in charge of the network department!"

After a few hours,
"Over here, Yu-kun~~"

Responding to Hongo Hime's wave, Akihi walked toward the luxury car parked by the roadside.

As soon as he got into the car, the bulletproof luxury vehicle started up and drove the two of them toward Shibuya, where night was gradually falling.

"Yu-kun, this is the target's information."

Inside the carriage, the girl handed over a file folder.

Qiu Riyou took it out and looked at it, her expression slightly stunned.

"Shiqiao Da?"

"Yes, that's him."

Sitting opposite her, Hina Hongo smiled and spoke.
"Familiar, isn't it? A murderer who has undergone multiple plastic surgeries and is infamous for his melancholic and handsome appearance."

"During the Shibuya incident some time ago, he was in charge of the 'live stream,' promoting the arrival of the extraordinary era to the whole world—"

And now, she's being targeted by Hongo Hime!
"Besides strength, speed, and physique far surpassing Superman,"

"He also possesses the ability to control the 'wind'."

During the Shibuya incident, Tatsumi Ichihashi conducted an extraordinary live broadcast for the entire island nation and even the world.

In just a few days, the video views soared to tens of billions, and even clips of his videos with clips and commentary have hundreds of millions of views. His popularity is so great that it has surpassed the American presidential election by dozens of times, making him a veritable world's number one influencer.

"This time, it all depends on you, Yu-kun."

Hongo Himeya is skilled in martial arts and proficient in various cold and hot weapons, but when facing superhumans, she is no different from an ordinary person.

At least in front of 'Xiao Qiong's brother', she had no room to struggle.

“I’m just a 'sorcerer',”

Qiu Riyou rolled her eyes at the other party. What was sitting there was actually a paper clone, but it was more than enough to deal with ordinary extraordinary beings.

"There are no fancy or powerful abilities involved; you'd better make other preparations."

Half an hour later,

"Certainly,"

A five-star hotel

In the presidential suite.

"What ability is this?!"

As Qiu Riyou pointed to the large bed where more than a dozen beautiful women were lying, Shi Qiao Dagang, who was shirtless, rolled over and sat up. He opened his eyes wide in anger, only to find that he could not move!

"Bastard, let me go—"

After his struggles proved fruitless, he had no choice but to resort to backstage tactics to try and intimidate Akihito.

"I am a subordinate of 'Paper Dance' sir, you..."

"If that 'Paper Dancer' knew you used your extraordinary powers to do this, his expression would surely be quite something, wouldn't it?"

As her gaze swept over the messy bed, Qiu Riyou couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Mudd!

I'm giving you power so you can increase your skill level.

But you used it in bed?

One night, ten women were taken in!

It's so enviable, cough cough, but also infuriating!

"Hina, it's all yours now."

Originally, Akihisa was still somewhat reluctant to target the 'subordinates' he had created.

However, upon seeing this scene, Akihi Yu, who was preparing for a "three hundred rounds of battle" and to practice her skills, immediately cast a "binding spell" on them!

The level of a ninjutsu refers to its difficulty of learning, not its power. Sufficient magical power allows one to unleash devastating attacks: for example, Madara, while dancing, used several C-rank ninjutsu to send the Allied Shinobi Forces into chaos; similar to Qiao Feng practicing Taizu Long Fist at Juxian Manor.

With Akihi Yu's strength, even a clone could easily suppress this hopeless Ichihashi Tatsumi.

You dare lie down? Go lie down in the lab!

"Yu-kun's abilities are amazing~~"

Hongo Himeya waved her hand as she praised.

Immediately, a large number of people in black suits rushed into the room, and various muscle relaxants and anesthetics were injected into the motionless Ichihashi Tatsumi: Extraordinary capture, easy end.

"I'll leave the rest to you. Oh, and by the way—remember to save me a few vials of the Extraordinary Serum."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

The girl playfully gave Qiu Riyou a military salute, marking the successful completion of their first collaboration.

P.S.: Just to add, the protagonist is not 'enemy of the world'.

Especially those who already have a certain relationship: such as this Hina, and Lady Nagisa, their cooperation is clearly greater than their hostility.

The reason I didn't revise Chapter 23 is because at that time, I had already planned to give the protagonist a disguise as a 'sorcerer': on the one hand, to prevent his identity from being accidentally discovered, and on the other hand, to improve his environment. It wouldn't be good if everyone around was a supernatural being, and the protagonist was still playing the role of an ordinary person at the bottom of society, would it?
Why bother?
What sets this book apart from traditional behind-the-scenes stories is that superpowers will spread on a large scale.

Exposing one's true identity won't lead to immediate ruin, nor will it cause the entire world to turn against the protagonist. Unless the protagonist goes insane and reveals their true identity as "Datongmu."
