Don't force me to use my right fist.

Chapter 573 If you're going to do something, do it the best!

Sōyū never expected that this angel, which in a sense belonged to him personally and took so much effort to create such a dazzling spectacle, would steal the head that should have been his the moment it appeared.

The problem is, he'd just figured out the details and was ready to wrap things up; would it have been so hard to say hello?

If you said this had nothing to do with that green-haired loli Shiki, Saiyu would never believe it. It was just buying some vegetables at the market.

To execute such a precise and decisive strike, the only condition that Sayu could think of was Shiki's order.

The aftershocks of the explosion that swept in front of Sawa finally dissipated. Unfortunately, the blue slime monster, which had been incredibly healthy and even somewhat cute, was now fused with a charred, black crater deep underground, and clearly had no chance of survival.

Fortunately, Minecraft's system doesn't have the concept of stealing monsters. Theoretically, anything that Zuoyou has touched will still drop its own loot after it dies.

It's just that there's no way to benefit from the enchanted luck.

So, after picking up the black aura that had indeed appeared in the deep pit and the experience points that had fallen, Zuoyou looked at the pink-haired girl who was slowly descending from the sky with her wings folded.

Having clearly left combat mode, her pupils returned to a sky-blue color, and an adorable, slightly silly aura emanated from her face.

Her personality basically matched that of the entertainment-useful angel in Saya's memory, causing Saya to swallow the words he was about to use to reprimand her.

"I only have one question: why did Four Seasons ask you to come and do this?"

Taking a deep breath, Saya, unable to get angry at a half-idiot, stared at the girl in front of him. If he hadn't just rescued the humans from the monster's body, they would be lying in that pit as charred remains alongside the monster's corpse.

Zuoyou doesn't mind others helping those in need, just like him; he can even justify stealing a monster by saying it was done to prevent the other party from escaping.

However, if it involves the lives of ordinary people, such impulsiveness is very inconsistent with the way Siji acts.

"Master - I've been watching your actions from hell. The reason I did this is to collect the remains of those monsters."

Reaching out, she took out a clump of blue slime bound by a special power. Perhaps reflecting her owner's personality, the pink-haired girl looked at Saya expressionlessly and explained.

Zuoyou raised an eyebrow before looking up at the empty space above him.

This green-haired loli says she won't interfere in worldly affairs, but doesn't she feel any remorse at all when spying on me?

However, Saya breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this reply. He said that given Shiki's personality, she would never issue such a rigid order. If she did it after seeing him rescue the human inside the monster, then it would make sense.

"Master said that if you were to kill it, you wouldn't be able to collect the remains, and the body would disappear in a strange way."

Just like wearing headphones that connect her to Shiki via live stream, the pink-haired girl still conveyed the message of her master, Shiki, with a blank expression.

"Therefore, since she is unable to act in the mortal world, it is necessary for me, as her proxy, to do these things." whl

Having explained why she was there, the pink-haired girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the closed gate in the sky that had sent her down.

"By the way, that teleportation portal is one-way. Master said you would send me back."

Her indifferent tone made it sound like she was talking about something completely unrelated to herself, but the words she uttered made Saya genuinely feel angry.

What does this mean? She stole my monster and I'm supposed to take her back? Is there no justice or fairness in this world? wwhl

Zuoyou had intended to say that, but after the pink-haired girl produced a Gaia Soul Ingot that emitted a strange light from somewhere, he immediately forced his mouth shut and put on an expression of unwavering duty.

A smile couldn't be contained on her face. She had said earlier that this was her reward, which made things much easier to resolve.

At least for Zuoyou now, he wished there were more monsters. He only needed to touch them to be the boss, and he could be the boss the whole time. He didn't have to put in the effort to fight, and he could still get a lot of loot and rewards. He was overjoyed by this.

With a casual wave of his hand, he conjured a hellish barrier from obsidian and sent the girl who had been silently watching him into it. Only then did Sōyu grin.

After inspecting the spoils of war he had acquired, Saku nodded in satisfaction.

Although the final blow was stolen, perhaps because her hands and luck were much better than Saiyu's, a pure African, the result of karma alone was enough to make Saiyu feel that his efforts had not been in vain.

He absolutely made a killing on this.

Aside from the standard karmic crystals and a bunch of slime balls that obviously fall out, the rest are all good stuff.

The extra Gaia Soul Ingots are enough to make a pair of pants. Of course, the most important thing is that thing called the familiar demonic aura of another world [Sloth].

The description still suggests that it can only be used for equipment enchanting, but Zuoyou has no intention of trying it out.

Since they are all clans, there must be a leader among them.

If that's the case, why not use the higher-quality aura that the boss is guaranteed to drop for enchanting?

Zuoyou is the kind of person who insists on making the best set of equipment, so it's obviously impossible for him to be satisfied with the materials obtained from these monsters that are basically just extras.

Chapter 574 Sending You to Hell

While sorting through the loot, Zuoyou didn't forget to take a look at the Truth Church members who were still asleep.

Of course, Saya and the others were only rescued out of humanitarian considerations; there were no other motives. Even if they were rescued, they would be handed over to the people at the brewery to deal with.

After tying them all up, Sōyū tidied himself up and looked at the spirits and ghosts who were clearly much more innocent than the madmen of the True Word Church. There were benefits to this.

At least they don't have to worry about being too weak, since they don't actually have a body.

"Excuse me, did you all become like this because of the experiments conducted by those lunatics in the Church of Truth?"

Pointing to the group of True Word Church believers who were already tied up, Sōyū asked the old men who were asking him why he was there.

He hadn't forgotten that his real idea was simply to find a group of free waiters for his restaurant, and the group of elderly people in front of him were obviously much better than the naive and inexperienced trainee maids in typical maid cafes who had never even done housework.

"Um, can you see us?"

After seeing Sōyu ask this question to their group of ghosts, a commotion broke out among the elderly ghosts, clearly surprised that this boy they had never seen before was able to interact with them.

However, soon, an elderly man dressed neatly, who looked like he must have been a minor leader in his lifetime, was pushed out and asked Sōyū with some surprise.

"Of course, I can not only see you, but I'm the one who rescued you from there."

Patting his chest, Saya pointed to the house behind him that looked as if it had been run over by something, before giving the group of old people a cheerful smile.

He was right; he almost got himself into trouble trying to save the ghosts and humans.

"Thank you so much, sir."

The group of old people who initially didn't quite believe him thanked him with surprised expressions after seeing the group of True Word Church lackeys behind Saya, who were tied up like dumplings.

There was no other way; besides the ghosts, the only living person standing was Sōyū. If it wasn't him, there were no other options.

So despite still harboring some doubts, they sincerely expressed their gratitude to Saya.

After all, no matter what, the fact remains that they came out of that eerie house, and there's no way to fool them.

However, once they were truly free, a look of sadness mixed with confusion appeared on the faces of these elderly people.

They were elderly people abandoned by their own children, otherwise they wouldn't have been sent to a nursing home. Even if they didn't become the experimental subjects of these people, they themselves didn't have much time left.

But now the most tragic thing for them is not death, but that they have become ghosts and cannot go to hell normally, so there is no question of reincarnation.

Often, many ghosts, believing they have encountered such a thing, begin to resent the world and eventually become vengeful spirits that harm people; there's nothing that can be done about it.

Fortunately, Sawa, who treats going to hell as easily as drinking water, is there to help them.

"Um, are you all feeling confused because you can't enter the Sanzu River to go through the cycle of reincarnation in hell?"

Just by looking at their expressions, he could guess what was going on. Saya spoke to attract their attention, as if afraid they hadn't seen him—Saya even raised his hand and waved.

"Regarding this question, I can help you. Going to hell isn't a particularly difficult thing for me."

Sōyū's voice wasn't loud, but what he said ignited a glimmer of hope in the bewildered ghosts who were huddled together.

Regardless of whether what Sōyu said is true or not, he is now practically their lifeline.

"Young man, are you sure you're not lying to us? Is there really some way to send us lost souls to hell?"

It was the old man who was pushed forward who spoke first, with a look of three parts doubt and seven parts expectation. He looked at Zuoyou seriously and asked.

"What benefit would I gain from lying to you about something like this? Admittedly, I'm not doing this for free, like some great philanthropist sending you to hell. But you also have the right to refuse what I ask you to do."

"Even if you have any doubts, you can quit at any time. It's not a difficult thing. To put it bluntly, I just want you to work as restaurant servers for me for a day. I don't think that's a big problem for you older folks, is it?"

Zuo You openly stated his purpose, which was not particularly difficult in itself; in fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he was doing charity.

After all, just one day's work is enough to qualify for reincarnation in hell. If word gets out, Sawa will probably be haunted by ghosts every day.

Sawa believes that working as a waiter in a restaurant for a day is not a particularly unfair thing. Even if the group of people are old, he should be able to handle the job with ease.

However, this was all just wishful thinking on his part. Perhaps these old people all had some special ailments and insisted on not doing these things. In that case, Zuoyou would have no choice but to go and find them.

So, gentlemen, have you thought this through? I can assure you that I will absolutely not do anything to harm you. I just need you to do me a favor. I won't even restrict your personal freedom. The reward is a ticket to hell. I've made myself very clear, haven't I?

Zuoyou rubbed his hands together and looked at the group of elderly ghosts in front of him.

"Now, please make your choice. I will respect your decision."

Chapter 575 Benefits

The answer is obvious.

Even if Sawa was deceiving them, these ghosts had no other choice but to wait for their soul power to dissipate, eventually turning into dust and vanishing into the air.

Alternatively, they could gamble with Saya and see if there was any way to reach hell and be sent into the cycle of reincarnation. Saya was quite satisfied with the old men's choice. It was a good thing they didn't force them. He wasn't some kind of demon; he just wanted to do what he wanted. Opening a restaurant and hiring a few waiters was enough.

However, Sōyū did not immediately leave with the group of ghosts. Instead, he waited until the familiar black convoy came into view before slipping away from the house of the unconscious man in black lying on the ground.

Although he didn't intend to kill these members of the Church of Truth, they still deserved to be punished. Therefore, handing them over to the brewery was the best solution that Sawa could think of.

The distillery may not be great at much else, but it's reliable when it comes to cleaning up messes.

He casually sent a text message to Renya, sharing some of the information he knew and telling her that he had already dealt with the strange occurrences there and that she didn't need to worry anymore. Then, Sōyū led the group of ghosts behind him, who were invisible to ordinary people, toward the school.

However, while his actions might not arouse suspicion from passersby, they could not stop Keine, the guardian deity of Sakuragi Academy, from taking notice.

Seeing Saya decisively direct the group of ghosts to stay in the abandoned classroom, Keine's lips twitched, and she pointed at the group of ghosts who were already trembling just from sensing her presence.

"What do you mean by that?"

Huiyin, who was practically pointing her finger at Saya and asking him that question, pursed her lips. It was one thing for Saya to harass girls, but this time, why was he having such a heavy taste? The result was...

"It's nothing special. Wasn't this something you asked me to organize, Ms. Huiyin? I'm planning to open a spooky-themed restaurant for the school festival and recruit a few waiters or something. That's not unreasonable, is it?"

Saku tilted his head, looking innocently at the teacher in front of him.

He didn't mean any racial discrimination. Whether it was a ghost or a human, as long as they didn't harm others, they were all pretty much the same species to him.
