A hint of panic flashed across Hayasaka Ai's calm face. She quickly turned around and looked back, then felt a strange force appear out of nowhere, pressing her firmly against the wall.
Her hands and feet seemed to be bound by some force, and she was pressed tightly against the wall with her back, unable to move.
But when she looked at her limbs, she found that there was nothing on them.
Hell?
Hayasaka Ai's expression changed from panic to terror—even though she had experienced many things, this was the first time she had encountered such a supernatural event.
Just then, she heard footsteps—and realized that a boy was walking towards her.
The newcomer was Qin Chuan. He had followed Hayasaka Ai out earlier and overheard this guy muttering to himself.
For an average person, such a soft sound would be inaudible, but it wasn't a problem for Qin Chuan—the Turtle Hermit School had a method of using "ki" to hear sounds.
If Qin Chuan wanted, the Turtle School even had techniques similar to mind reading; in the original work, Master Roshi used that technique to peek into other people's memories.
"You...who are you?"
Hayasaka Ai looked at Qin Chuan who had walked up to her, asking questions while trying to break free from the strange restraints.
But clearly, her struggles were futile; the invisible thing binding her limbs remained completely still.
If she were a Stand user, you would see her limbs being held down tightly by misty hands—it was the misty body that Blackbird created using his "Justice" ability.
"Didn't your mother teach you not to answer questions with questions?"
Qin Chuan looked at Hayasaka Ai and said.
"Now I'm asking you, what's your name? What information are you trying to collect?"
"..."
Hayasaka Ai didn't really want to answer, but she knew that the boy in front of her was the one who had bound her, so she had no choice.
"My name is Hayasaka Ai, and I'm here to investigate the rumored Kiryu who has special abilities."
"Hayasaka Ai?"
Although he hadn't recognized the person at first, Qin Chuan immediately understood who it was after hearing the name.
It turns out she was a maid in the Shinomiya family. He remembered that Hayasaka Ai was ostensibly the maid of Shinomiya Kaguya, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, but in reality, she was a spy for Shinomiya Hikari.
Kaguya Shinomiya obviously wouldn't send Ai Hayasaka to do something like this, so it must have been Hikaru Shinomiya's doing.
And... Kiryu has special abilities?
It seems that Kiryu's strange lethality during yesterday's territorial battle has attracted the attention of some people.
That's understandable. Kiryu and his underling can inflict serious injuries on people without ever touching them, and even cut off their limbs. It's definitely a superpower.
Even if these things are eventually suppressed by the underworld, some powerful figures will definitely still know something.
Shinomiya Hikari somehow learned of these rumors, so he became somewhat interested, but that was all.
So they sent Hayasaka Ai to investigate the Kiryu Group.
However, Kiryu wasn't at the bar today, so Hayasaka Ai just squatted down and watched the dance hall all night, but ended up going home empty-handed.
Yesterday, Kiryu said he was preparing to establish business relationships with those big families, but before Kiryu could even approach them, some big families came to investigate on their own.

"Interesting. Is the Shinomiya family still interested in these things?"
Qin Chuan stroked his chin, understanding the situation.
Special abilities, huh? If such a thing were real for those high-ranking people, I imagine many wealthy individuals would be eager to get involved, waving their money around.
However, Shinomiya Hikari was clearly still skeptical of the rumor, otherwise he wouldn't have only sent Hayasaka Ai to investigate.
What could a high school girl possibly discover? Shinomiya Kiko probably sent her with the mindset of "it's worth a try."
"Do you... know that I'm from the Shinomiya family?"
Hayasaka Ai's expression became even more complicated upon hearing Qin Chuan's words.
Her purpose in coming here was to investigate psychic abilities, but she herself did not actually believe that the rumor was true.
But now he was bound to the wall by an invisible force. It was clear that the rumor was true. There really were people with special abilities in the Kiryu Group!
Moreover, Qin Chuan's ability to recognize the Shinomiya family simply by hearing his own name is already quite remarkable.
Qin Chuan did not answer Hayasaka Ai's question. Although he said, "Don't answer a question with a question," this obviously only applies to the weaker party.
Even if Qin Chuan doesn't answer Hayasaka Ai's question, what can Hayasaka Ai do?
"Now you should know about the special ability users you're investigating. How do you plan to report this to the Shinomiya family?"
"I……"
Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Hayasaka Ai was speechless.
Qin Chuan was right in front of him. He could bind him without him even seeing him, and of course, he could easily take his life as well.
What if I reply, "I will report this to the head of the household truthfully"? What if the other party gets angry and kills me?
The reply was, "I won't say anything"...
Let alone Qin Chuan, even Hayasaka Ai herself found it unbelievable. What credibility could a stranger who came to investigate information have?
"I...I don't know. Please tell me what you would like me to do."
Finally, Hayasaka Ai, seemingly resigned to her fate, sighed and expressed her attitude to Qin Chuan in a dismissive manner.
She really couldn't think of a way to answer, so she decided to see what Qin Chuan wanted her to do.

Chapter 110 Hayasaka Ai's New Master
"You seem afraid of me."
Qin Chuan looked at Hayasaka Ai's nonchalant expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
No wonder, since Hayasaka Ai can't see her Stand and is suddenly pinned to the wall by something invisible, it's only natural that she would be scared.
If Qin Chuan had simply pressed Hayasaka Ai against the wall with both hands, she probably wouldn't have been so scared; she would have just thought Qin Chuan was stronger.
"But you don't need to be afraid. You want to know information about people with special abilities, right? Why don't you experience it for yourself?"
Qin Chuan smiled and took the arrow off the pendant around his neck, then pointed it at Hayasaka Ai.
That's right, he plans to turn Hayasaka Ai into a Stand user.
Didn't Shinomiya Hikari want Hayasaka Ai to investigate the Stand users? Then let him turn the investigator he sent into a Stand user and see what Hayasaka Ai does.
Hayasaka Ai should know very well that Shinomiya Hikari is not a kind person, so Qin Chuan is very curious about Hayasaka Ai's choice.
As for whether it will backfire...
If the Shinomiya family could defeat a Saiyan with a power level of over 3200, they would have already left Earth and conquered the universe.
"Personal experience, you mean...?"
Hayasaka Ai seemed surprised that Qin Chuan would suddenly say such a thing.
"The special ability users you're talking about should be called Stand users."
Qin Chuan smiled and flicked his finger, sending out a black and gold arrow that pierced straight into Hayasaka Ai's neck.
"You'll experience firsthand what the power of a Stand is like."
"Gu...!"
With an arrow piercing her neck, Hayasaka Ai let out a choking sound, her face turning pale, as if she would faint at any moment.
However, just like Kiryu and his younger brother before her, Hayasaka Ai's neck wound quickly began to heal, and the newly grown neck flesh squeezed out the arrow.
At the same time, Hayasaka Ai also felt that the scene in her field of vision had changed.
Black mist began to appear faintly on his wrists and ankles, which had been bare before. This black mist, like a hand, pressed him firmly against the wall.
The black mist was coming from behind Qin Chuan—Hayasaka Ai looked up and saw a black figure standing behind Qin Chuan.
"This is a Stand user, Hayasaka Ai. The special ability you mentioned comes from this kind of thing."
Qin Chuan smiled.
"Welcome to the world of Stand users, and..."
The next moment, mist reappeared on the surface of the black bird's body, and a small portion of its body separated into black mist and condensed into a small black crow.
Under Hayasaka Ai's horrified gaze, a black crow swooped straight toward her and then quickly burrowed into her ear.
Although Qin Chuan didn't say it, Hayasaka Ai instinctively felt that something seemed to be occupying her brain.
Clearly, the little black raven had already infiltrated his brain, and if he did anything detrimental to Qin Chuan, it could directly destroy his brain.
It was only then that Hayasaka Ai realized that the real leader of the Kiryu Group was not the Kiryu with special abilities, but the handsome high school boy in front of her.
Kiryu's substitute was probably created by him in the same way, and Kiryu's brain was definitely controlled by Qin Chuan with "Black Bird Lover" just like hers.
"It seems you understand your situation."
Seeing Hayasaka Ai's complicated expression, Qin Chuan also withdrew the four misty hands of the black bird and put Hayasaka Ai down from the wall.
Hayasaka Ai was experiencing a mix of emotions. Qin Chuan had freed her limbs, but her mind was now under his control.
What could Hayasaka Ai do in this situation? She could only manage a wry smile.
"I never imagined it would end up like this..."
"What's wrong with becoming a Stand user? Many people want to become one but don't have the qualifications."
Qin Chuan recalled the tense expressions on the faces of the Kiryu Group members when he tested their Stand aptitude yesterday.
Stand talent is extremely rare, and it's already quite good that Hayasaka Ai has Stand talent.
"Let's see your stand-in."
"I understand."
Since she couldn't resist, she might as well enjoy it—Hayasaka Ai's personality was rather carefree, and seeing this, she complied with Qin Chuan's suggestion and released her substitute.
But the next moment, she realized that her clothes had changed.
She, who was originally dressed as a sexy girl, suddenly changed into a maid outfit, which looked similar to what she usually wore at the Shinomiya residence.
"...What is this? Why does it look different from your Stand?"
Seeing that her clothes had suddenly changed, Hayasaka Ai was a little surprised and subconsciously looked up at the black bird next to Qin Chuan.
Completely different from Blackbird's humanoid Stand, his own Stand... was a maid outfit?
"I see, a wearable Stand 0..."
Qin Chuan understood; there weren't many stand-ins like this in the original work, but there were still a few.
The stand-ins "White Album" and "Oasis" in the fifth installment are examples of this.
As he spoke, Qin Chuan had Blackbird reach out and tear a piece of cloth from Hayasaka Ai's maid outfit, then swallowed it.
"Well……!"
Because the user can sense when the Stand is injured, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but let out a muffled groan when a piece of her maid outfit was torn.
After the black bird devoured the piece of cloth from the maid outfit, Qin Chuan understood Hayasaka Ai's Stand ability.
"Release attraction and repulsion centered on the body... What kind of Pain is this?"
That's right, Hayasaka Ai's Stand ability is to release attraction and repulsion centered on her maid outfit.
It's somewhat similar to Pain's Universal Pull and Shinra Tensei from Naruto.
However, its power certainly won't reach the exaggerated level of Pain's Deva Path.
In addition, when wearing the stand-in maid outfit, Hayasaka Ai's physical abilities are greatly enhanced.
It's roughly at the level of Power B, which is far beyond the physical capabilities of ordinary people.
Qin Chuan's Blackbird now also possesses this ability, although it doesn't really help him.
You can't expect this little bit of repulsive force to bounce Frieza away.
