Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Just as Yeonju was about to scream, a series of piercing, ear-piercing screams suddenly rose and fell around her, so many that they completely drowned her out.

Hearing these voices, Enju suddenly realized that she and Rentaro were not the only ones who had undergone gender swapping, and her eyes widened: "What happened, Rentaro?"

“They are Aliens from Mefilas.” Rentaro’s expression and tone were incredibly complicated.

Hiruko Kagetane, however, remained completely calm. After observing for a while, he sneered, "Heh... This is truly a game and drama that I never even dared to imagine, let alone thought of. Are aliens really this powerful?"

"What do you mean?" Rentaro frowned. "What are you talking about?"

"It means exactly what it says, Rentaro Satomi. That man's new game has begun."

Hiruko Kagetane sneered, “You should hide yourself, Satomi Rentaro. From now on, the bullying and ostracism we’ve been subjected to will begin. I don’t know how long it will last, but I advise you not to take my advice to heart.”

"Dad, what should I do?" Although he had become a boy, Hiruko Kagetane's partner, Kohina, still obediently followed his orders.

Hiruko Kagetane sneered, "We'll remain outsiders. Hina, let's go."

"Okay, Dad." Little Hina was completely obedient.

Still bewildered, Rentaro Satomi shouted at the two of them, "Where are you going?!"

"Then it's none of your business, Rentaro Satomi."

This time, Hiruko Kagetane did not give an answer. Instead, he waved his hand and, with the physical abilities of a cursed child, took Hina with him and quickly ran and jumped through the chaotic streets, disappearing without a trace.

Enju anxiously tugged at Rentaro's sleeve: "What should we do, Rentaro?"

"I don't know either..." Rentaro Satomi was also at a loss, but fortunately, he finally came up with a solution after a few minutes. "Anyway, let's go find Kisaragi-nee, Miori, and Dr. Muroto first!"

Having set their goal, Rentaro finally began to walk laboriously through the streets with Enju.

Because many people have had their genders swapped, and in their minds, what was just a torrential downpour at night has suddenly turned into a clear, sunny summer day, and they have inexplicably appeared in other places, they are extremely uneasy and like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

As a result, the streets are now filled with pushing and shoving and arguments.

"So I've already said it, I'm a human! Are you blind? I'm twenty-seven, work at a bar, and am as beautiful as a flower. How could I possibly be the cursed child of some disgusting ten-year-old Gastrea? I loathe those Gastrea brats the most! You must have made a mistake!"

"You think you're human? You disgusting thing, trying to fool us? Do you think that'll work? I bet all this is the work of you Gastrea creatures. Die!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Gastrea, die! It's all your fault, absolutely all your fault!"

"So you're saying it wasn't me? How dare you push me?! Aa ...

Tear!

A cursed child transformed from an already extremely selfish chicken refused to suffer even the slightest loss. It let out a classic female tank battle cry and launched a powerful counterattack, trying to scratch the cheeks of anyone who approached it, to let them know that it was not to be trifled with.

But with the power of the cursed child, with a tearing sound, her claws forcefully ripped open the faces of several people nearby, revealing deep white bones. Two unlucky souls were even so severely injured that their skulls cracked open, and they died instantly with a thud.

"?!"

Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara, who were passing by nearby, experienced pupil tremors even more intense than when they encountered the Alien Mefilas, and almost suffocated.

"Monster! Die!"

But while the two of them were stunned, the others were not. There were several police officers nearby who immediately drew their pistols and emptied the magazines of the cursed child who had turned from a chicken, shattering her heart and brain.

The latter, with a loud bang, died on the spot, just like the unlucky few she had killed.

While there are indeed some Cursed Children powerful enough to survive being hit by bullets, their numbers are extremely small, and it is clear that this Cursed Child, transformed from a chicken, does not possess that power.

Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara's minds went completely blank.

This was the first time... the first time they had ever seen a cursed child kill someone.

A concept suddenly took shape for the first time: So... the cursed child can actually kill people?

"There are more of those, and over there too! Gastrea, monster! Kill her!"

Rentaro Satomi was breathing heavily, unable to understand or let go of the situation. He stood there in a daze. As soon as the people nearby saw that she was a little girl with the red eyes that were the hallmark of the cursed child, they all panicked and shouted, collectively moving away from him, creating a large vacuum in his area.

"Wait, wait! I'm a person, I'm not..."

puff!

Rentaro Satomi hurriedly waved his hands, trying to explain, but the police wouldn't give him that chance. They all quickly switched magazines and unleashed a barrage of fire on him.

If it weren't for his fighting spirit still intact, which allowed him to instinctively dodge and only have one bullet graze his shoulder, he would have been riddled with bullets and dead by now.

Enju Aihara cried out in grief and anger, "Run! Rentaro!"

"I understand!" Satomi Rentaro finally understood what Hiruko Kagetane's advice meant. He endured the pain, carried Enju on his back, and activated all the bodily functions of a cursed child to escape quickly.

Before fleeing, he gave a quick glance to the police and people behind him.

Finally, what he saw was a vast array of indescribable, ineffable gazes and expressions filled with unparalleled hatred and resentment, as if just seeing him was bad luck, and they all wished him dead immediately.

Those gazes and expressions converged, like a tsunami, and although they weren't physically present, they seemed to suck all the air away, making Rentaro Satomi feel even more suffocated. He felt as if his whole body was bound by countless ropes and was about to be thrown into a rushing river.

Is this Enju? Is this the air that all the cursed children have been forced to endure since birth...?

He had always believed that, as Enju's partner, he was already aware of the suffering of the cursed children.

But now that he has truly become a cursed child, Rentaro Satomi suddenly realizes that all along, as an observer, his so-called empathy was utter nonsense. This atmosphere, this feeling!

This is simply unbearable for a human being!

Throughout his escape, Rentaro Satomi kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone else. He ignored the conflicts and contradictions between the other Cursed Children and others along the way, and only after he reached Kisara Tendo's police station and closed the door did he stagger and dare to rest.

By this time, he had completely exhausted his strength.

"Enju!"

Even though he had no strength left, Rentaro Satomi held Enju tightly, trembling and murmuring, "How scary, how scary, how scary... Enju!"

"Rentaro!" Enju burst into tears, hugging Rentaro tightly. She completely understood what Rentaro was afraid of, so she was very happy. Now, Rentaro was just like her.

Rentaro and she are getting closer!

"Rentaro!"

Clang.

Just as this partner was falling in love, Tendo Kisara, with her long, straight black hair, suddenly burst through the door. She was clearly out of breath, having run back at top speed.

Rentaro Satomi looked up in surprise: "Kisara-nee?"

"Are you... are you Rentaro?" Kisara Tendo observed for a moment and quickly understood, because on her way here she had heard cursed children saying "I was originally human, not a cursed child" in various places.

Although the fact that the man she liked had now undergone a gender swap caught her completely off guard, her worst-case scenario was that when she escaped from her captivity during this chaotic time, she would be told that Rentaro was already dead.

So compared to someone who is already dead, a mere gender swap is barely acceptable.

"Rentaro, that's great! I thought they had already killed you!"

Without saying a word, the long-haired, straight-haired Tendo Kisara also joined in the hug, and the three of them hugged each other in an extremely awkward and strange posture for who knows how long.

During this time, Rentaro recounted in fits and starts everything that had happened since Tendo Kisara was imprisoned by the prime minister, leaving Tendo Kisara speechless.

"I can't believe something like this actually happened..."

This is simply divine.

While the Mefilas aliens' claim of being able to easily annihilate all Gastrea was already far beyond human technology, their current actions—such as casually halting the entire Earth-Moon system and modifying a large number of human genes—are truly godlike.

I never even dared to think about it.

Under this power, Tendoki was even more convinced that if the Gastrea hadn't been assimilated for so long, the Mefilas aliens could easily turn a Gastrea back into a human when a person was first infected and became a Gastrea.

"But what exactly is its purpose in doing this?"

Is it just because it's fun?

This was the only point that Tendo Musen couldn't understand at all.

Rentaro Satomi's saintly heart kicked in again at this moment: "No matter what the reason is, everyone is in a mess now, Kisara-nee, is there any way to do this? Think of something!"

"Even if you say that..." Tendo Kisara said helplessly, "I'll try to hide you first. Since we've already failed, you shouldn't go out for now. We'll see how things go after things calm down. I'll go outside and observe, and I'll come back and tell you what's going on outside."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Rentaro Satomi nodded repeatedly.

To be honest, even if someone wanted him to go out in his current body as a cursed child, he wouldn't want to. The malice of those people outside was just too intense, completely unbearable.

Tendo Kisara gave the instructions: "Enju, you stay here and watch over Rentaro. If any outsiders break in, pull Rentaro aside and hide until I come back!"

Next, we need to find Dr. Muroto and Shiba Miori.

The purpose of seeking out Dr. Muroto was to see if this one of humanity's most powerful scientists had any way to revert Rentaro back to male. As for Miori Shima, it was because she possessed too many resources, making people subconsciously want to rely on her.

After making his arrangements, Tendo Kisara, sword in hand, stormed out.

It was an incredibly chaotic day.

Not only in Tokyo, but according to reports, the same situation has occurred in other parts of the world. Many of the cursed children claim to be human, and after some investigations, the government has been able to confirm that quite a few humans have indeed gone missing.

However, after Tendo Kisara approached Shiba Miori, she was surprised to discover that, according to Shiba Miori's intelligence, although many people around the world had been transformed into cursed children, none of them, whether they were high-ranking officials of large conglomerates or high-ranking government officials, had been transformed into cursed children!

That would be quite ambiguous.

While it is certain that the investigation revealed that many of the previously recorded children of the curse had disappeared, replaced by a number of excited strangers who shouted, "I am human!" and a significant number of them had been transformed into children of the curse.

While these things can be checked, since the cursed children have become human, targeting them specifically risks inciting unrest among ordinary citizens and leading to non-cooperation with the government.

Those who were transformed into cursed children, though originally human and indeed innocent, were simply unlucky.

In this situation, everyone is filled with anxiety and fear. Someone needs to sacrifice themselves to appease everyone. If ordinary citizens are not allowed to attack these cursed children at this time, they are very likely to turn into a mob and direct their anger towards the government.

That won't do.

Of course, most importantly, not a single high-ranking member was converted into a new cursed child.

In the end, the victims are always the lower-level people, at most the middle-level managers in the tycoons and government, which is an acceptable price to pay.

So, after a few days of initial investigation, high-level officials and tycoons around the world discussed the matter and made a pointless decision.

It is completely open, allowing everyone, including ordinary citizens, police, and even the military, to attack all the cursed children at will. The cursed children who can be attacked even include police officers and other cursed children from all over the world!

A carnival quickly ensued.

All the uneasy people actively participated, expressing their gratitude to the government and tycoons.

A hunting frenzy targeting the cursed child quickly unfolded.

Faced with human technology, the Cursed Children, though occasionally putting up sporadic resistance, were collectively defeated and on the verge of extinction... until the real game began.

A person who was originally hunting the cursed child suddenly, without warning, becomes a new cursed child.
