Even though Misaka Mikoto frequently performs missions at the containment facility, each mission only yields a few hundred contribution points at most, with a maximum of no more than a thousand.
As a result, even though Misaka Mikoto received decent benefits at the shelter, the contribution points she earned in exchange for game currency accounted for almost half of her expenses there.
Fortunately, Misaka Mikoto didn't have that many concerns; she just cared that the product was good and didn't mind if it was a little expensive.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would probably have already cursed the unscrupulous merchant.
After all, in some ways, this is just as absurd as a soldier going out to war only to find that he has to pay for his own bullets.
Chapter 97: Misaka Mikoto's Guilt and Shirogane Kei's Hypnosis
"That should solve the problem."
In the distance, after its shield and body were pierced through, the life force of the Temple-class Honkai Beast quickly dissipated, and its massive body swayed and fell to the side.
Looking in the direction where the Honkai Beast's body fell, Misaka Mikoto's expression changed instantly, even though she had been looking relaxed.
"not good!"
Since only a dozen minutes have passed since the Honkai Beast appeared and was defeated, there are still many ordinary people in the vicinity who did not have time to escape.
Looking in the direction where the Honkai Beast fell, you can see some survivors remaining on the street not far away, staring blankly at the corpse of the fallen Honkai Beast.
If left unattended, even if these people are not crushed to death, they will definitely be buried by the rubble of the collapsed buildings.
Faced with this scene, Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth and pulled out another coin from her pocket, preparing to use an attack to adjust the direction in which her opponent fell.
Just then, a golden flash suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
Upon arriving at the scene, Takahashi Yu sensed the situation and quickly changed direction in mid-air, kicking the Honkai Beast's corpse aside before landing in front of Misaka Mikoto.
boom--! ! !
With a loud bang, the corpse of the Temple-class Honkai Beast fell to the ground, and the huge impact stirred up a large cloud of dust.
Fortunately, because Takahashi Yu kicked him into an uninhabited area, no further damage or casualties were caused.
"Director... you've arrived."
Upon seeing Takahashi Yu appear before her, Misaka Mikoto, after a brief moment of panic, quickly put the coin away again. Then, with a somewhat embarrassed expression and evasive eyes, she spoke.
"Could you explain the current situation, Ms. Misaka Mikoto?"
Takahashi Yu slowly asked.
"If I remember correctly, members of the shelter are supposed to send an application to the shelter and declare the abnormal situation before they can take any action if they encounter a sudden abnormal disaster. I don't remember receiving your application, so you acted on your own, Miss Misaka?"
"I already said it was an emergency, of course there wasn't time to apply. And how can I just stand here and ignore the monsters' destruction..."
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Misaka Mikoto, who is usually straightforward, was somewhat hesitant to speak and blushed slightly.
She had no choice. She was happily playing video games in the arcade when a sudden disaster struck. By the time she left the arcade, the Honkai Beasts were practically right in front of her, and she didn't have time to apply for permission to act.
And as she said, even if she applied for the operation, she couldn't turn a blind eye to the destruction caused by the Honkai Beasts without permission.
"Given the urgency of the situation this time, he will write a 100,000-word self-criticism upon returning home. If there is a next time, he will be confined in the detention center for six months."
Raising his hand, he struck Misaka Mikoto on the head with a chop. Seeing the girl in pain but not daring to argue, and standing obediently in front of him, Takahashi Yu turned his gaze to Shirogane Kei, who was trying to make his presence as he stood next to Misaka Mikoto.
"You are... Shirogane Kei?"
"Do you know me?"
After watching Takahashi Yu's interaction with Misaka Mikoto from beginning to end, and realizing that the other party's identity was not simple, Shirogane Kei wanted not to attract the other party's attention, but unexpectedly the other party called out his name.
Looking at the man in front of him, who had silenced the girl named Misaka Mikoto who had just defeated that terrifying monster with just a few words, Shirogane Kei couldn't remember when he had met him before.
"I guess you could say we know each other, but of course you don't know me."
Takahashi Yu certainly knew Shirogane Kei, after all, Takahashi Yu was the student council president of Shuchi Academy's high school, while Shirogane Kei was a member of the student council of Shuchi Academy's junior high school. Although he had never been to the junior high school, he had heard of the other's name.
Not to mention that Shirogane Kei is Shirogane Miyuki's younger sister. Perhaps because of his failure to win the student council election, Shirogane Miyuki was able to devote all his energy outside of his part-time job to his studies, so his grades were even better than in the original work. As the student council president, it would be hard for Takahashi Hayao not to notice her.
For this reason, Takahashi Yu had considered using Shirogane Miyuki's talent to perhaps enroll him in the containment facility as an unofficial staff member. However, the containment facility developed too quickly afterward, and Takahashi Yu forgot about it after being busy for a while.
Of course, none of these are the main points. The main point is that Shirogane Kei, as an ordinary person, witnessed Misaka Mikoto destroying the Honkai Beasts, plus the appearance of Takahashi Yu, so they still need to deal with that first.
Taking a small, exquisite magic prop from his pocket, Takahashi Yu activated it.
Instantly, an invisible magical force enveloped a large area, and the eyes of all ordinary people within that area, including Shirogane Kei, became empty and lifeless in an instant.
Well, it's just a small hypnotic tool, nothing to mention.
This magic prop was designed by Merlin by Takahashi Yu to facilitate the handling of large-scale abnormal disasters. Its effect is to put ordinary people in a large area into a hypnotic state after activation, making them obey the user's commands, thereby gathering these people together for unified treatment.
Ordinary people will have their memories directly altered and return to their original lives.
Talented individuals will be asked for their opinions after the hypnosis is lifted. If they are willing to join the shelter, they will be incorporated into the shelter as non-staff members. If they are unwilling, their memories will be modified according to the normal procedure, and then they will be sent back to their original lives.
Yes, you need to apply to use this kind of magic prop, and Merlin will supervise the whole process with his clairvoyance. If he finds out that it is being used for other purposes, he will deal with it immediately.
We guarantee that there will be no content unsuitable for children.
Moreover, all the members of the shelter have undergone rigorous screening, so there are basically no problems with their character, and no one will violate the shelter's rules. Takahashi Yu is quite at ease about this.
It took a little time for Takahashi Yu to settle the hypnotized Shirogane Kei and the others.
If I remember correctly, Shirogane Kei in the original work possessed outstanding mathematical talent. After all, as a student admitted to Shuji Academy through academic merit, his talent was beyond question and he was considered a promising talent.
The question is whether the person will be willing to join the shelter once the personnel in charge arrive.
As for the other ordinary people in the arcade who witnessed Misaka Mikoto's abilities, apart from Shirogane Kei, there were basically no noteworthy individuals. They would probably all be disposed of in the same way.
Returning to the vicinity of the Honkai Beast's location, and gazing at the enormous corpse that was still continuously radiating purplish-red energy not far away, Takahashi Yu sighed with a headache.
For the containment facility, a Temple-class Honkai Beast is not a difficult object to deal with. What is really troublesome is the Honkai energy that overflows from the corpse after the Honkai Beast dies.
This is also the main reason why Takahashi Yu reprimanded Misaka Mikoto earlier: the death of a giant Honkai Beast in the city center would likely cause considerable trouble in the aftermath.
Chapter 98: Post-Disaster Recovery, Benefits of Honkai Energy
Originally, Takahashi Yu's plan was to send someone to lure the Honkai Beast to the outskirts of town and then kill it with the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Although Ryougi Shiki, Takahashi Yu's clone, is currently in the One-Punch Man world, her role-playing ability has already reached 100% due to her successive killings of numerous monsters from the House of Evolution, including the giant's brother. This means that Takahashi Yu can now handle the situation himself.
In this way, the Honkai Beasts can be completely annihilated without leaking any Honkai energy.
However, before Takahashi Yu arrived at the scene, this Temple-class Honkai Beast had already been killed by Misaka Mikoto in Akihabara. As a result, even if Takahashi Yu disposed of the corpse of this Temple-class Honkai Beast now, the Honkai energy that had been released could not be recovered.
It is foreseeable that in the coming period of time, the spilled Honkai energy will be evenly distributed around the location of the Temple-class Honkai Beast's corpse, making it extremely difficult to clean up such a large area, even with the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Although the amount of Honkai energy released from the corpse of a single Honkai Beast is limited and will not cause ordinary people to mutate into Dead Servants due to excessive concentration, it will still have some impact in the long run if left unchecked.
Just like radiation, trace amounts of harmful radiation may not affect a normal person's body in the short term, but with the accumulation over the years, problems will eventually arise.
"Let's seal off this area under the pretext of earthquake reconstruction. No one is allowed to approach except for the staff of the shelter."
Takahashi Yu took out a communicator and contacted the person in charge of disaster relief at the shelter, giving instructions.
"As for the follow-up situation, I will find someone to handle it."
"Yes, sir!"
The person in charge on the other side quickly accepted the order.
Thus, under the operation of the containment center, relevant personnel quickly took care of the ordinary people in the Akihabara area who witnessed the appearance of the Honkai Beasts, investigated their information, recruited them as talents, and even modified their memories.
Meanwhile, high-ranking government officials under the control of the shelters dispatched troops to seal off the disaster area, strictly prohibiting any unauthorized personnel from approaching. They then released news to guide public opinion, and with the cooperation of the disaster victims whose memories had been altered by the shelters, defined the destruction of Akihabara as an earthquake disaster.
Anyway, Japan is a country with many earthquakes. Although the sudden and violent nature of this earthquake has made many people doubt the official explanation, no one has thought about it from another angle. At most, some people blame the high-level officials for their inaction in not issuing an earthquake warning in advance, which led to the tragedy.
In response, several high-ranking Japanese government officials in charge of earthquake-related matters bowed and apologized, taking full responsibility for the incident and subsequently resigning to quell public anger.
Takahashi Yu didn't care about these subsequent developments, because with the current power of the shelter, it was practically all-powerful in Japan. It was just a matter of handling the aftermath, and it was impossible for anything to go wrong.
At worst, they can all kneel down and apologize before stepping down. No matter how many high-ranking officials are removed, the shelter can always guarantee that the newly appointed high-ranking officials will always be their own people.
Right now, we still need to figure out how to deal with the spilled Honkai energy.
As Takahashi Yu said earlier, it is now difficult to deal with the spilled Honkai energy by simply using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, since the area is too large and it takes too long to deal with.
Fortunately, because it doesn't belong to the Honkai worldview, dealing with this Honkai energy is only somewhat difficult, not to the point of being troublesome.
If it were within the Honkai worldview, then according to the rules of the Honkai world, any world born from the Imaginary Tree would inevitably attract the attention of the Honkai consciousness if Honkai energy appeared.
However, the world where Takahashi Yu lives does not belong to the Honkai world. Neither the Imaginary Tree nor the Honkai Consciousness can control him. Therefore, even if more Honkai energy appears, the only concern is the pollution caused by the Honkai energy.
Without Honkai consciousness, Honkai energy is just a rootless plant, merely a relatively dangerous energy. From a long-term perspective, the emergence of Honkai energy is actually a good thing.
After all, Honkai energy has many uses, and it can make great contributions in any field.
After dealing with the spilled Honkai energy, Takahashi Yu planned to have the containment center use the corpses of Honkai beasts to begin research on Honkai energy.
With that in mind, Takahashi Yu opened the system panel.

To study Honkai energy, the spilled Honkai energy must first be dealt with. In order to find someone who can handle Honkai energy on a large scale, Takahashi Yu opened the clone panel and contacted his clone Ainz Ooal Gown in the world of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!"
"What is the status of the target?"
Takahashi Yu then asked.
"Everything is normal for now. I've been working for almost a month."
On the other side, Ainz Ooal Gown answered.
