I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

Komeiji Satoru, who was tightly bound, was placed on a dilapidated stool. Lee Seung pulled over another relatively intact stool in the room and sat down opposite her.

"..."

Komeiji Satoru simply sat quietly with her head down, her bright red pupils hovering beside her calmly watching Li Cheng, her gaze devoid of any emotion.

"What's the name of the person you're working with? Who is she? Where is she now? Because of that person, my companion and I were forced to give up our vacation and have been busy for several days."

Without waiting for a response, Li Cheng dumped out a whole bunch of questions, then sat there quietly, waiting for the other party's answer.

"...Parallel worlds, do they really exist?"

After a long silence, Komeiji Satoru raised his head expressionlessly. Although he was asking a question, for some reason Li Cheng could detect a tone of certainty in his voice.

However, this person looks incredibly petite, but surprisingly has a rather pleasant voice.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Tsk, I forgot this guy's ability is mind reading.

"Her goal is pretty much what you're guessing: to challenge famous and powerful figures to prove her strength. She helped me before, so I've been helping her create opportunities to fulfill her wish."

As if she had figured something out, Komeiji Satoru began to speak slowly.

"You don't need to rush to find answers to many other things, because she will soon achieve her last goal."

Li Cheng frowned, about to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Komeiji Satoru.

"I've decided to speak out now because there's no longer any need to hide it. Her plan is nearing its end, and I need your help to return to Gensokyo. Now that I'm your prisoner, there's no need to maintain a hostile stance."

"I haven't said anything yet... but it seems you've dug quite a bit out of my head."

"I only saw what you showed me."

"..."

A moment of silence fell over the room.

Finally, Li Cheng rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, and looked at Komeiji Satoru, who was staring blankly at the bottom of his head, and asked in a deep voice:

"That person's ultimate target is Cheng Yan, right?"

Komeiji Satoru did not speak.

"The most famous, the strongest, known as the number one below the Transcendent, without a doubt, if it's about proving one's strength, defeating Cheng Yan would be the best proof. And now, he just happens to be in Japan, so he's become her final target, isn't that right?"

"But this target involves too many people and has a rather complicated background, which is why you risked coming to the conference room to find out the plans and arrangements of the action team's higher-ups."

"You idiot, do you even realize how much trouble it would cause if Cheng Yan were really attacked in Japan?"

By the end, Li Cheng's voice was tinged with barely suppressed anger.

Komeiji Satoru, with his eyes still closed, replied in a flat tone, "Haven't you already done this once yourself?"

Hey?

"Besides, although you say you're trying to stop it from happening, you clearly want Cheng Yan to be taught a lesson again, don't you?"

Hey?

“I can see that, Li Cheng. You actually really want to beat up Cheng Yan again. You have an obligation to protect him (the foreign guest) according to your position, but you have really considered beating him up deep down.”

Tsk, this feeling of having all my thoughts read through me, mind-reading ability is really annoying!

I really want to teach this girl a lesson, but I have no experience in interrogating others, and if I really do something to her, I'll be in trouble. Isn't there a way to cause her some trouble without leaving any problems behind?

Zi's ​​communication suddenly came through at this moment.

The next moment, Komeiji Satoru's calm expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly raised his head to look at Li Cheng in front of him.

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Li Cheng's expressionless face, she couldn't help but shrink back.

With his hands and feet bound, his body too weak to break free, and his mental attacks on the other side on guard, he was in trouble. He had no means of fighting back.

Li Cheng silently stood up and walked towards her.

"Stop right there, you idiot! Do you even know what you're doing?"

"Of course I know, it's you, you rude guy who robbed me of several days of vacation, who has to pay the price."

"No, no!"

Ignoring the girl's cries of anguish, Li Cheng grabbed the eye hanging beside Komeiji Satoru's body and gently held it in his hand. The next moment, Komeiji Satoru's body trembled violently, and her voice became incoherent.

"Ooh-ee, ee-ee-ya, stop, stop right now—"

One of the youkai named Satori, Komeiji Satori, possesses the ability to read minds, and as a racial characteristic, he has a third eye, the Satori Eye, which is suspended by a thin thread. This eye can unleash his abilities and is also one of his most sensitive spots; even a light touch will cause extreme stimulation.

According to Yukari, it would become extremely itchy with just a light touch, the kind of itchiness that would make Komeiji Satoru laugh until she cried. However, it seems that the effect is not quite like that.

"Ugh, ugh, how could this be? It's like that! Let go! Ahh, please, stop! Ahhhhhh—"

Watching Komeiji Satori struggle in the chair with a flushed face and a pained expression, unable to break free because of the ropes, looking so pitiful and almost crying, especially with the huge contrast between her appearance and age, Li Cheng felt as if he had become a very heinous criminal.

Section 255, Chapter Thirteen: Time of Imprisonment

In the basement of an abandoned house in a deserted urban area.

Komeiji Satoru huddled expressionlessly in a corner of the basement, while on the other side, Lee Seung leaned against a wall, lightly tapping the surface with his finger as if carving something.

After working for more than half an hour, a pale purple halo enveloped the small basement.

Does that mean she can't escape?

Looking back at Komeiji Satoru, who was still sitting calmly on the ground in the corner with no expression, Li Cheng still felt that he was somewhat unreliable.

Purple's voice, transmitted through the contract, reached his mind at this moment:

With her remaining strength, she has no way to break the barrier we created. Besides, even if she did manage to destroy it, we've been watching this place closely. If any problems arise, we can notify you immediately. There's absolutely no need to worry.

Zi's ​​voice was very relaxed, with a faint crackling sound mixed in, probably from taking advantage of the gap to steal potato chips from the nearby supermarket? I just hope this girl will remember to pay.

"You call her 'little girl'?"

A cool, clear girl's voice rang out from the corner of the room.

Li Cheng turned his head and met Komeiji Satoru's cool eyes.

Come to think of it, this guy can hear her conversation with Zi in the link, so in a sense, she has discovered her biggest secret.

Li Cheng and Komeiji Satoru looked at each other. He could sense a hint of curiosity about his relationship with Yukari, as well as a suppressed and subtle sense of disgust, in the other's gaze.

It's probably because of the incident where I pinched her third eye that she's been holding a grudge against.

However, this is also Zi's fault. If she hadn't lied to herself that pinching Jue's third eye would make the other person feel bad as punishment, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Who would have known that it was a highly taboo and sensitive spot for the awakened demon? Touching that eye was essentially a vulgar act no different from groping the breasts.

That's right. If you think about it carefully, it's clearly Zi's fault. It was because of her deliberate misleading that I did that.

Komeiji Satoru's gaze towards Li Cheng began to look as if he were looking at trash.

"In short, you'd better stay here quietly until your accomplice is caught by us, Miss Komeiji."

After pausing for a while, feeling that he had nothing more to say, Li Cheng decided to leave and continue investigating the whereabouts of Komeiji Satoru's accomplices.

After all, it was a barrier formation personally provided by Yakumo Yukari, who also remotely guided him in completing it. Given that Komeiji Satori has lost most of his demonic power and is now weak and powerless, it is virtually impossible for him to break through this barrier, which has extremely strong protective capabilities and can continuously suppress the power of the sealed person.

Although Li Cheng thought the best solution would be to place her next to Zi and let Zi watch over her, or simply send her back to Huo so that she could teleport her back into the barrier and everything would be fine, Zi very seriously refused the former, clearly unwilling to be with this mind-reading monster. As for the latter, it seemed that the great barrier had encountered some kind of problem, and Huo was temporarily unable to open the barrier and send the monster back.

Finally, after careful consideration, Li Cheng chose to lock her up in a place where she wouldn't be easily found, and release her after everything was over.

Komeiji Satoru quietly huddled in the corner, showing no sign of tension. She knew that Li Cheng would not harm her, as she could read his thoughts. However, her face was still quite rosy, perhaps due to the aftereffects of someone's previous actions.

The Eye of Awakening, which was floating beside her, was still swaying, as if it was still savoring the feel of someone's touch.

That's really rude.

The quiet girl thought to herself.

Whether it was the other party who committed such a heinous act, or herself who lost control due to fear and excitement, for her, who had not experienced intense emotional fluctuations for a long time, what happened today would undoubtedly become a dark chapter in her life that she would never want to look back on.

However, there are some interesting things to think about. In any case, I can no longer help that child, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be able to fulfill her wish to challenge the strongest. So, taking a little break seems like a good idea.

Thinking this, she began to feel tired, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she hadn't slept well for many days in order to help that child better realize his wish.

On the other side, Li Cheng had just exchanged a few words with Zi on the phone when he suddenly heard a soft sound from behind him. Turning around, Li Cheng was somewhat surprised to find that Komeiji Satoru, who had been sitting against the wall, had somehow fallen to the ground with his eyes closed and his breathing steady, clearly asleep.

Did she actually fall asleep right away?

Li Cheng looked at Komeiji Satoru, who was lying on her side on the ground, sleeping peacefully, with some confusion, and subconsciously walked towards her.

No, wait a minute, this guy has always been quite clever. Could he be planning to lure me closer and then attack me with some kind of mental magic?

Thinking this, Li Cheng quickly stopped and began to carefully observe the other party.

Something's definitely not right. Even though the person is asleep, the Eye of Awakening, which acts as a third eye, is still open. This guy must be pretending to be asleep!

That eye never closes, whether you're awake or asleep; you're just being overly nervous!

Zi's ​​voice suddenly rang in Li Cheng's mind.

Hmm, is that so?

Li Cheng asked, somewhat uncertainly.

That eye isn't an eye in the usual sense; rather, it represents the conceptual characteristics and abilities of a type of monster called "Awakening." Under normal circumstances, that eye will always remain open. But if it were to close, something terrible might happen.

I don't quite understand, but it means she really is asleep, right?

Squatting down, Li Cheng looked at the other person's peaceful sleeping face. No matter how you looked at it, it was just a child of about ten years old. But this guy had conspired with another person to attack two powerful experts in this city and seriously injure them both.

Monsters are truly amazing creatures.

After thinking for a while, Li Cheng opened a gap and left the room. About ten minutes later, he returned with a thick blanket, a quilt cover, and pillows, and laid them out in the middle of the room.

Then, he walked up to Komeiji Satori, hesitated for a moment, and gently picked her up. The girl's body was soft and petite, as light as a feather in his arms, as if he couldn't feel any weight at all. Li Cheng carried her to the bed and covered her with the blanket. During this process, Komeiji Satori did not wake up, and even after touching the warm blanket, she subconsciously rubbed against it a couple of times.

She looks like a delicate doll. Are all monsters this beautiful to the point of being unfair?
