Is this okay?

Rentaro didn't know what to say. He wanted to stop them, but when he thought about his own situation, he was too ashamed to do so.

In the end, he could only endure the merciless ridicule from the two of them, and dared not utter a word.

"Rentaro, I really can't help you this time." Enju saw how pitiful Rentaro was and didn't say anything to help him. She could only look at Rentaro encouragingly to comfort him.

"It's okay, it's so good to have you all here..."

Rentaro breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he wasn't alone.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Leng Mo's eyes flashed with a wicked light, and he laughed evilly.

"You think this is the end for you? No way! WhiteSnake! Activate your power!!"

Then... Rentaro saw Enju, Kisara, and Sumire Muroto looking dazed and controlled, while Leng Mo and Madoka-senpai frantically taunted him with electric shocks, showing no sign of stopping even as Kisara's wound on his hand was bleeding profusely.

"..."

You're a real idiot!

At this moment, Rentaro truly understood what it meant to be a cold, ruthless, and unfamiliar person.

What's most infuriating is that I can't even refute it; I can only be mocked.

About ten minutes later, Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan released Yan Zhu and the others with satisfaction, their faces filled with the glorious smiles of having done their work.

Rentaro was at a loss for words regarding this situation; he could only shut himself off and remained completely isolated. There was nothing he could do.

However, having made a scene, it's time to get down to business.

"Rentaro, there's a question I need you to answer."

Leng Mo sat in the chair, looking at Rentaro, who was also sitting opposite him, with a serious expression.

"What is it?" Rentaro asked, taking Leng Mo's serious expression seriously.

"Where did you get your 'Killing King'?" Leng Mo asked solemnly, as he hadn't brought it with him himself.

"King of Slaughter..." Rentaro frowned upon hearing this, recalling the events of the past: "I don't know either. I didn't think much about the situation at the time. I just sensed the presence of this power and used it."

"Hmm... That's strange. Why do you possess the power of that silly, gluttonous elf? Do you also have the potential to be a silly, gluttonous elf?" Leng Mo was very serious about this and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"..."

Why do I have this feeling that you're subtly insulting me?

Rentaro stared speechlessly at Leng Mo, at a loss for words.

At this moment, Sumire Muroto frowned and looked at Rentaro seriously, asking, "Rentaro, have you been anywhere these past few days?"

“These past few days I’ve been in the doctor’s laboratory and His Majesty the Holy Emperor’s residence, and then I’ve been sleeping outdoors with Enju and Kisara.”

Rentaro carefully recalled his situation over the past few days and felt that nothing was wrong.

Leng Mo, upon hearing this, turned to look at Sha He, who had remained silent.

"Sawa, based on your understanding, what was the last time you saw Tohka?"

Hearing this, Sawa, who was standing nearby, recalled and sighed, "When I learned about Tohka's situation, she had already been infected. I heard from others that she stayed behind to cover the retreat, and when they went to search for her later, they found nothing."

"I see. So, the only person who could take the spirit core away while infected... is probably one kind of person." As he said this, a glint flashed across Leng Mo's face, as did Senior Xiao Yuan beside him.

"There is only one truth!"

"The culprit behind the Gastrea outbreak! Only he could have taken the Spirit Core from within the virus!"

In an instant, Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan accurately deduced the truth behind it.

“I’m afraid that’s the only possibility, but when did Rentaro encounter this?” Sawa agreed with this speculation and turned to Rentaro to ask the most crucial question.

Rentaro, who was being watched, was filled with doubt: "I don't know either. I don't remember ever encountering any strange people."

"Then let's check it out first," Madoka said to Rentaro with a comical expression.

"Yes, I think so too. It's better to get checked out than anything else." Sumire Muroto agreed.

Rentaro had absolutely no reason to refuse.

Just as Senior Xiaoyuan and the others decided to conduct an inspection, Leng Mo thought of something and couldn't help but feel expectant.

The miracles and magic that happened before still happened, but that doesn't matter!

Let's resolve this tonight!

Hiahiahiahia!

Chapter 457 Are you having the same nightmare?

After examining Rentaro's body, Madoka discovered that the Spirit Core was actually inside his brain.

"Wow! Rentaro, so you're brainless after all!"

"??"

Rentaro looked bewildered upon hearing this, feeling as if Madoka-senpai was insulting him.

However, after seeing his own report, he realized that Senior Xiaoyuan was not scolding him, because there was a huge crystal stuck in his brain.

"Nani? Nani?" Enju looked at Rentaro with curiosity, not understanding what the outcome was.

However, Sumire Muroto took the medical report from Rentaro's hand and examined it carefully, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

"This is truly an unexpected situation. Logically speaking, if an ordinary person's brain were occupied by such a large foreign object, they would at least experience headaches and dizziness, or worse, they would fall into a coma or suffer brain death. Your situation can be described as a medical miracle."

After reading the report, Sumire Muroto's face became serious.

"Wait, if it's a Spirit Core... Doctor! I found a clue in your data: Gastrea cannot infect Spirit Cores!"

Rentaro remembered the information he had found earlier and immediately began to excitedly tell Sumire Muroto about it.

"What? I don't recall my files containing anything like that. Forget about Spirit Cores, the existence of spirits is only mentioned briefly. How do you know about Spirit Cores?"

Holding the report, Sumire Muroto looked at Rentaro with a strange expression, not understanding what was going on.

Upon hearing this, Senior Madoka smiled, having essentially confirmed her opponent's identity.

"I think I understand now. It seems that someone behind the scenes did something behind the scenes that we didn't know about. If it was those guys, then it makes perfect sense."

"What do you mean?" Rentaro couldn't help but look at Madoka-senpai with curiosity.

"Literally, the mastermind brought the Gastrea virus to this world, then deliberately infected the world, and then infected the Pokémon of this world." Senior Madoka explained the situation simply. If the reasoning is correct, the system must be behind this.

"What?! Why?"

Rentaro couldn't understand the reason for doing this; there must be some purpose behind it.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Senior Xiaoyuan was not 100% sure of the system's purpose, but she was at least 200% certain.

"Yes, please tell me!" Rentaro nodded upon hearing this, looking solemnly at Madoka-senpai in front of him.

However, Senior Xiaoyuan smiled slightly and said, "I won't tell you."

"..."

For a moment, Rentaro was speechless, not knowing how to respond at all.

Given the current atmosphere, why didn't you tell me?

“Sometimes ignorance is bliss. As a third party, I can accept knowing the other party’s purpose because this world is not my world, so I can accept it. But you are different. This world is your world. You simply cannot control those reasons and purposes.”

Senior Xiaoyuan explained earnestly, her voice filled with emotion.

It is precisely because she is not a person of this world that she can accept it. If this world were her own, even if she seems unreliable and often cheats people, she would still be unable to accept it.

"In that case, although we don't know if the Gastrea thing is true, since Gastrea can't infect the Pokémon core, could we use that to our advantage and then cure Gastrea?"

Rentaro didn't dwell on the issue; instead, he hoped that the Spirit Core could cure Gastrea.

"You mean Gastrea? That's all over now. Every child inside the wall has recovered." Sumire Muroto said subtly. She hadn't learned much from Leng Mo these past few days, but the Gastrea thing was something she had never kept secret from the beginning.

Moreover, it was something that Senior Madoka had created in just ten minutes, which was a huge blow to Sumire Muroto, who was a researcher.

This is not even in the same league as the opponent; even if I reverse engineered it, I wouldn't be able to reverse it.

When I asked Xiaoyuan, the senior, for help, the answer was simply, "How do you explain this? One plus one equals two, how else do you need to explain it?"

And that was it; Sumire Muroto became withdrawn.

I feel like all my past research has gone to waste on dogs.

"What?! It's solved!?" Rentaro's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Otherwise, what do you think we're collecting the Cursed Children for? Is it just for fun? Life isn't a toy!" Senior Madoka said something so serious for the first time, which shocked everyone.

"Then, Enju! Please, you must treat Enju!"

Rentaro bowed excitedly to Madoka-senpai, pleading that he wouldn't miss this opportunity no matter what.

"Don't worry, Yanzhu's treatment was already completed when you went for the checkup."

"Thanks!!"

Rentaro solemnly thanked Madoka-senpai, feeling a surge of emotion that brought tears to his eyes.

……

Meanwhile, Tina showed the Holy Emperor a tour of life inside the walls.

The Holy Emperor showed great tenderness towards the children in this situation, and those around her greeted her with happy smiles.

This made her feel warm, and what surprised her even more was that the white Cupid took the initiative to follow her.

"Let's go, the Queen wants to see you," Cupid said cutely as he sat in front of the Holy Emperor.

"Hey! He spoke!" The Holy Emperor was surprised by Kyubey's words and his eyes widened.

Tina, who was standing to the side, nodded upon hearing this, and carrying her Cupid, led the Holy Emperor toward Leng Mo.

When the Holy Emperor arrived at the villa, he saw Leng Mo sitting on the sofa waiting for him as soon as he entered.

"Hey, how was your journey, Your Majesty?"

The Holy Emperor nodded seriously when he saw Leng Mo and walked to the seat in front of him to sit down.

"That's great. It's clear that the children here are very happy. I'm already very content to see them continue living like this."

She looked at Leng Mo with seriousness and certainty.

"That's good. You can play here for now, and you can go to sleep when you're tired. The room is very big. I believe you will understand that what I did was the right thing."

Leng Mo looked intently at the Holy Emperor, not wanting to say anything to her for the time being.

"..."

The Holy Emperor opposite nodded silently upon hearing this, feeling a subtle unease, but upon closer examination, he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

So, the Holy Emperor and Tina stayed at the villa, because the Holy Emperor needed someone by his side, so Tina stayed behind.

Followed by.

Two o'clock in the morning!

Just as everyone was fast asleep, five figures appeared at the door of Yeonju's room.

They are Leng Mo, Tatsumi, Kaneki, Kazuma, and Ouma Shu!

What is our plan?

"Open the door!"

"Come in!"

"Wake Yeonjoo up!"

"Then transform!"

"Excellent! A perfect plan!"

The five people at the door smiled broadly, as if everything was going according to plan.

The next second, the five people quietly opened the door and tiptoed inside.

The first thing I saw when I entered was Yeonju lying on the big bed, fast asleep. I have to say, kids sleep really well. After experiencing so much during the day, she was still able to fall asleep.

"Enju, Enju."

At this moment, Leng Mo gently touched Yan Zhu and woke her up.

"Huh? Rentaro?" Enju rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, not realizing who was calling her.
