I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

This 10,000 mora was already three months' income for his family; how could they possibly accept more?

The Deep Forest Trading Company in Liyue City is a large and prestigious establishment, yet it is very harsh on its employees. When employees suffer work-related injuries, it avoids compensation whenever possible and tries to shirk responsibility.

The recent harassment by the "True Spirit" was also due to the death or injury of three people in an accident.

The temple will likely donate the entire million yuan it receives to the dead and injured workers as a form of condolence.

“The Shenyilin Trading Company has accepted a little less money.” Zhongli tapped the table with her finger.

The young female official flipped through the ledger in her hand, her expression serious.

A few seconds later, he replied, "Master has already handed over the evidence of the shop's evasion of wages and taxes to Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star. I think that shop won't survive until the first month of next year."

"Hmm." Zhongli nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more.

After a while, the tea was finished.

Just as Zhongli was about to get up and leave, the young lady of the ceremonial office suddenly called out to him, stopping him.

"Mr. Zhongli."

"What is it?" Zhongli stopped in his tracks.

"The head of the hall asked me to tell you some news," the young female official whispered.

"Please speak." Zhongli turned around, looking calmly into the eyes of the young female attendant, as if trying to see through her the current head of the Hall of Rebirth who was relaying the message behind her.

"The travelers from beyond the borders have arrived in Mondstadt, and the wind dragon Dvalin is gradually going mad. The wind god is still nowhere to be found."

These brief words made Zhongli ponder in silence for a moment.

After a while, he nodded to the young lady in charge of the ceremony.

Instead of discussing the content of the message, they started discussing a new topic.

"Miss Yi Guan, I'd like to ask you a question."

Zhongli's words startled the young female official, who then nodded slightly: "Please ask, Mr. Zhongli, but if Mr. Zhongli doesn't know, there's a good chance I won't know either."

"Well, please analyze it for me," Zhongli said, expressing his doubts.

"If there were such a group of people."

“These people originally had no vested interests.”

"No one can ever threaten the existence of another person."

"Anyone has the potential to help another person."

"In this situation, who among these people would sow discord and incite conflict?"

"If you maintain good relationships, everyone is likely to help you; but offending another person will do you no good."

"By the way, these are all good people."

After listening to Zhongli's words, the young lady of the ceremonial office frowned slightly and also pretended to be thinking.

"Hmm? Is this a hypothesis for an experiment? It sounds like a topic that the Alchemy Society discusses."

"Based on my normal thinking, I can only think of two possibilities."

"First: This person may have some personality issues. Is he used to this lifestyle? His sarcastic and divisive behavior could very well be a problem inherent in his life, rather than something intentional. Even though he is dealing with a group of complete strangers with whom he has no vested interests, he can't help but do what he's used to doing."

"Secondly, it could be that this person dislikes certain individuals in the crowd, or has a perverse sense of humor, enjoying watching others fight. Hmm, in that sense, it could also be considered a personality issue. However, one is subjective, and the other is passive."

Zhongli nodded at the maid's words: "Thank you."

After saying this, he turned around gracefully, strode away from the Hall of Rebirth, and soon disappeared from the sight of the ceremonial maid.

Only when Zhongli's figure was completely out of sight did a sigh linger in the orange-red sunset.

"Sigh, as expected, Mr. Zhongli still doesn't want to remember my name."

Chapter Four History

The history of this world seems to have been played a joke by the gods.

At a time when all the countries in the world were developing their industries, a strange thing suddenly attacked human civilization.

The year 19XX.

The first [Enemy of Humanity] has appeared.

No one remembers what he looked like anymore, and all subsequent records have been destroyed.

But anyone who knows the truth knows just how powerful and terrifying he is.

The city was destroyed; a city that took millions of people decades to build was utterly destroyed in a single night.

Humans in the city are slaughtered like insects, without dignity or respect.

But this terrifying monster is not actually an alien, nor is it some otherworldly demon.

It was merely a human who had awakened a special ability.

Since then, children with special abilities have gradually appeared all over the world.

For these humans who possess magical powers, human laws and ethical norms are completely incapable of restraining them.

Invisible people infiltrate women's bathhouses and commit rape; winged bird-men take to the skies and hijack airplanes; powerful telekinetic users suppress the police and sabotage the military.

Various countries have established countermeasures departments against superpowered individuals, attempting to recruit them for military purposes.

The goal is to establish an organization of individuals with police capabilities to ensure a certain level of order and peace.

The plan initially went smoothly.

However, this collaboration soon ended in failure.

On the one hand, those with superpowers are arrogant and conceited; on the other hand, some of them are dissatisfied with being treated like experimental animals.

Therefore, they began to pursue a change in social class.

An indescribable riot, or rather a revolution, broke out.

After five years of bloody war, ordinary humans won the war.

In the century that followed, people’s ways of thinking and the actions of nations changed.

The country now openly acknowledges the existence of people with superpowers and has recruited them to training facilities and places known as schools within various countries, isolating them in these facilities.

The summoned humans are training day and night to fight against monsters known as the "enemies of humanity"—a belief firmly held by most citizens of most countries.

"Hiiragi Nana".

In the vast and empty hall, only the girl's figure stood in the center.

A few scattered committee members chuckled softly in the shadows.

One of them spoke in a low, calm voice.

"The mission to secretly eliminate the 'enemies of humanity' entrenched on the island is a top secret of our country."

"Failure is absolutely not an option. Can you do it?"

"If the matter is exposed and it leads to collusion among the ability users, not only our country, but the whole world could be destroyed."

"If we powerless people are dominated by those with abilities, then that will be the end of humanity."

Can you do it?

The young girl was not intimidated by this daunting task.

She opened her eyes wide, trying to remember what the monster looked like on the big screen.

Then, in the calmest voice, she recounted the cruel story.

First, we must obtain intelligence.

"I understand the mission to kill them all. But what kind of abilities do the enemies have? If we knew the abilities of all the students, it would be easier to complete the mission."

One of the committee members nodded in satisfaction: "We kept records of their recruitment, but to avoid arousing their suspicion, we didn't insist on testing them. We simply compiled their abilities into a database and calculated how many people their abilities were expected to kill."

"But remember, never blindly trust the data. Their abilities are unfathomable, and some people's abilities change as their bodies grow. There was once an individual who could manipulate the microorganisms in his body. Just when we were about to kill him, he spread a lethal dose of virus into the air, which resulted in us having to level the entire town with bombs."

“We also considered a scheme to gather them together under the guise of a mass execution, but it resulted in them conspiring together and causing even more deaths.”

"Based on more than a decade of research and experimentation, the best approach is to send a well-trained assassin like yourself into their ranks."

"I understand. I will kill all those enemies of humanity! Even if it means falling into hell in the future, I will not hesitate."

Upon hearing this oath, all the members of the committee smiled in the shadows.

I don't know if they're happy or mocking.

Nana couldn't sense any emotion in their smiles at all.

"Looking forward to your performance."

"Truly worthy of being the most loyal hunting dog in Hegang."

"Hahaha! I like what you said."

The jumbled words instantly transformed into a giant wave, completely engulfing Hiiragi Nana's body.

Indistinctly, amidst the giant waves and seawater, the figures of several superpowered individuals she had killed floated up and down, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

......

"Hoo~~~! Ha~ha...." Hiiragi Nana suddenly stood up.

The dream she had while sleeping made her chest pound violently.

"It brought back some bad memories."

She looked in the mirror, ruffled her short pink hair, habitually tied it into pigtails, and flashed her signature silly grin.

She held on like this for about a minute before she stopped smiling and walked briskly out of her room.

"Who are we going to kill today? Which enemy of humanity?"
