I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Manager? What's wrong?"

"Have a good time with her, newcomer!"

"Yes, manager!"

Kinji Toyama accepted the task, and Nana Hiiragi also looked at Kinji Toyama.

"Hello, senior. My name is Hiiragi Nana, and I am a superpowered person with the ability to read minds!"

Hiiragi Nana's disguise was perfect. She didn't know why she was there, but she instinctively sensed that everyone here must be a superpowered person.

Since they are all superpowered individuals, they should all be killed.

However, no sooner had Hiiragi Nana finished speaking than Accelerator, who was watching the scene unfold, shouted at Shokuhou Misaki, who was playing a game with Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto on the other side: "Shokuhou, there's a mind control here."

Misaki Shokuhou's train of thought was interrupted by that shout, and she was immediately solo-killed by the opposing team's Law of Cycles. At that moment, she channeled her irritable older brother: "*＃￥%! How many people in our internet cafe don't know how to use Mind Power? Let Yuri teach her."

Accelerator: "No way! Yuri's playing Red Alert right now."

Seeing the game Yuri was playing on TT, Accelerator was helpless.

Kinji Toyama pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem. We can just have her find Commissar Yuri in the game. Commissar Yuri is the best!"

Ichika Orimura added, "Indeed, mental power is the most common power in this shop. You can learn a few tricks by hanging around with the political commissar."

Shido Itsuka pondered, "I think I understand what the shopkeeper means. She wants us to help her acquire enough power to protect herself, since simple mind control is too weak."

Kinji Toyama nodded and said, "Besides, directly rewriting someone else's thoughts is too low-level manipulation. I prefer what the boss said: exploiting weaknesses!"

Kinji Toyama completely believed Liu Yuan's words: to have leverage over others and use their weaknesses as leverage. Take Aria, for example; the debt she owed him would take at least twenty years to repay. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction whenever he thought about this.

Although he enjoyed himself, Kinji Toyama didn't forget his business.

Nowadays, there are very few new employees at the third branch; almost all of them are invited from the customers' own circles. Now that a new employee has arrived, the veterans are naturally welcoming her in the grandest way possible.

Nana Hiiragi was completely bewildered. She had planned to obey her "seniors" and wait for their approval before taking action. But what? Were there real mind-reading superpowered individuals here? And why were they so common? Where was she? Was this still Earth?

Unfortunately, for the safety of the internet cafe, all the guests' abilities are restricted here, otherwise everyone would definitely tell Hiiragi Nana that this is another world.

So, with a smile on her face, Hiiragi Nana was recommended to enter the game by Toyama Kinji. What should an experienced player prepare when mentoring a newbie? Of course, it's the newbie package prepared by Tatsumi.

Nowadays, internet cafes offer a wide variety of games. Based on Tatsumi's analysis of beginner guides, if newcomers have any specific needs, the manager and internet cafe staff will recommend corresponding games.

Playing games is a temporary measure to deal with the crisis. If there are no special needs or crises, the network administrator and store manager will let the customers play as they please.

Even beating up kids in an internet cafe can help customers resolve real-world crises to some extent, not to mention that Tatsumi has compiled a super beginner's package after playing more games.

The beginner's package includes these games.

First, play Human: Fall Flat to unlock Soft Man, then play Fall Guys to unlock Fall Guys. After unlocking the two invincible Powers, enter the Minecraft game to unlock the crafting table. If you don't have enough time, go to the Old Man's Ring and get a Crypt of the Tear. If you have enough time, go see Yuri immediately after getting the Crypt of the Tear.

Regardless of whether you have a problem or not, Yuri can make sure you have no psychological problems.

If you don't have enough time to play the game, then go see Yuri in real life. Commissar Yuri will never disappoint any player, and he can solve 90% of human problems. The remaining 10% can be solved by hiring professional thugs at internet cafes or posting a quest in the player shop.

If it's not a matter of human nature, then talk to the boss.

The owner considers Liu Yuan the sole god among all customers. This doesn't mean Liu Yuan is a god, but rather a sign of their utmost respect for him. Since the internet cafe opened, over 50% of the players have received help from Liu Yuan, and because of this, their admiration for him is as boundless as a surging river.

Hiiragi Nana was completely bewildered at this moment, because what happened in the internet cafe was completely different from her understanding of the world.

Her experience in the game, in particular, made her feel like she was asleep.

The battles between squirms, the brawls between Fall Guys—it's amazing! When Hiiragi Nana first started playing, she was very wary. But as she played, she discovered that the games at the internet cafe were fucking fun.

Especially Fall Guy, she can't see everyone's faces, let alone know who these players are. At the same time, she can disguise herself as Fall Guy and do whatever she wants.

Using techniques like shoving someone's head in the throat and stabbing them in the kidneys—even though she didn't know what kidneys were in Fall Guys—these actions effectively improved her assassination skills.

However, the wonderful gaming experience came to an end when they met Yuri.

Under the guidance of her "senior," Hiiragi Nana unlocked the Mental End and entered the Epsilon mission.

However, upon entering the mission, she paused for a moment. She clearly sensed that her thoughts had been read. She instinctively turned to look at the bald man beside her; his murderous intent caused a change in her expression.

However, Yuri, sensing Hiiragi Nana's killing intent, spoke up unhurriedly.

"Oh! My dear heretic, it seems you have more questions than you do!"

Chapter 529 Hiiragi Nana: "I understand, good people shouldn't be held to a gun."

Yuri's voice seemed to possess a magical power, penetrating deep into Nana Hiiragi's heart. Yuri smiled and said, "Energizer? Ordinary person? Believe me, no matter what, energizers can never get along normally with ordinary people, unless the energizer is an ordinary person."

These words stunned Hiiragi Nana, but then her expression deepened. She understood what the bald man in front of her meant, but she didn't accept the idea. Because her parents were…

"Heretical teachings, as I've said before, don't be deceived by appearances. What you hear may not be true, what you see may not be real, and your own memory is sometimes more useful than the guidance of others. Superpowered individuals are not scary; what's scary is the human heart. Superpowered individuals with humanity, or people without humanity—which is more terrifying?"

At this moment, Nana Hiiragi suddenly thought of the night her parents were murdered. She remembered clearly locking the windows of her house, and then…

Hiiragi Nana stopped thinking, and Yuri also fell silent.

Yuri simply showed her the inhumane actions of those high-ranking officials and capitalists who had lost their humanity: Lolita Island, the church for little boys, the malicious cover-up of nuclear leaks, sending innocent people to their deaths while they feasted on the spoils behind the scenes.

As time passed, the internet cafe system announced closing time. All guests had five minutes to either save their game or quickly end the battle.

As the notification appeared, some players in League of Legends were pushing the lane quickly until the last second, when both sides disconnected simultaneously, and could only wait for the new game to start tomorrow.

Some players even steal the opponent's base when they're not paying attention, sell it, and then immediately surrender. Don't ask why, it's just disgusting.

The guests left one after another, but Hiiragi Nana remained rooted to the spot.

"I'm going to smash your dog's head in tomorrow."

"Hehehe, without vector manipulation, it's hard to say who will beat whom."

The customers in the internet cafe made plans for tomorrow as they left. Only Nana Hiiragi sat alone in her seat, lost in thought.

Sherry didn't chase Nana away, but sat down next to her after everyone else had left.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I have no idea…"

Hiiragi Nana lowered her head in deep thought. She hadn't exchanged many words with Yuri, but every word felt like a sharp blade piercing her heart. Especially after playing so many games, she realized something: she wasn't an ordinary person anymore; she was a superhuman.

He himself had become an enemy of humanity.

"Well, is there anything you want to say but don't dare to say in your own world?"

"My own world?"

"Yes~ This is another world. After experiencing the game here for a day, you've already felt how different this place is, haven't you?"

"I...I don't know."

Hiiragi Nana shook her head. Yuri's greatest impact wasn't on her power, but on her humanity. Their simple conversation made her instantly realize why humans target those with superpowers, why they can't coexist with humans, and the hidden story behind her parents' deaths.

She now has a very bold hypothesis: suppose her windows were locked that night, and her parents weren't killed by superpowered individuals, then…

Thinking about this, she felt her whole life turned gloomy. She didn't know what she had been working so hard for all these years, and she didn't know what to do in the future.

Looking at the bewildered girl in front of her, Shirley wanted to try to guide her, but she realized she didn't seem to have the same ability to guide people as her boss. So she quietly contacted Liu Yuan.

Upon receiving the message, Liu Yuan rushed over immediately. Seeing the bewildered newcomers and listening to Tong hope and Shirley's explanations, Liu Yuan roughly understood the situation.

Liu Yuan explained to Shirley, "Actually, there's nothing wrong. It's just that Yuri gave her a simple lesson on human nature, and after recalling her memories and guessing some truths, her new understanding conflicted with her old one. This situation is easy to handle. Just let her know what she needs to do and let her learn well."

After saying that, Liu Yuan came to Nana Hiiragi's side.

"Hello."

"Hello?"

Nana was a little nervous looking at the man who appeared beside her, but at the same time, she felt at ease looking at Liu Yuan's kind expression.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I have no idea…"

No, you know.

These words made Nana feel suffocated, while Liu Yuan said softly, "You are confused, confused about the meaning of your life, confused about whether you should carry out the orders you have received."

Hiiragi Nana didn't speak, but Liu Yuan pulled out a gun: "What's this?"

"gun."

"Who is this thing pointing at?"

"enemy!"

Hiiragi Nana answered with great certainty, while Liu Yuan cocked the gun and handed it to Hiiragi Nana: "So, in the future, if someone asks you to kill someone, or to threaten someone with this gun, would you point this gun at the head of an innocent person?"

"will not!"

"So, there's a bad guy standing in front of you, a bad guy who bullies others and twists the truth, who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people. He's standing in front of you, and you have this gun. Should you shoot?"

"shot."

"If you knew who was secretly murdering your loved ones, using you and countless underage teenagers to commit acts of killing good people, what would you do in the face of this person?"

"shot."

Upon hearing this answer, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Now that you have the answer, what are you still confused about?"

"I…"

"You are already a customer of this shop. You possess an immortal body and the wisdom of countless worlds. You can distinguish between the most basic good and evil. You will not use your abilities to harm good people, nor will you let bad people go unpunished. So what are you still confused about?"

"I have no idea."

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose eyes had already brightened, Liu Yuan spoke for the last time: "You don't know what to do, but you just need to remember, shoot the gun at the bad guys, shoot it at your enemies, shoot it at everything you consider secret."

Is that enough?

"That's enough. Guns aren't scary, and superpowers aren't scary either. What's scary is the people who use them to do evil, and you have a gun, so you can point it at these 'bad guys'."

Hiiragi Nana clenched her fist, then released it. After taking a few deep breaths, a bright smile appeared on her face: "Thank you! My name is Hiiragi Nana, what's your name, uncle?"

"... "

At this moment, Liu Yuan fell silent, while Shirley couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tongxi then added, "Boss, you've become an old man."

"Me... an older man?"

Kisara remarked, "It is indeed quite large."
