Their commission was suspicious.

"Heh. But it might be good to go check it out; I might even land a few commissions."

The human-centered plugin had seen through everything, but it did not stop Chen Luo from exploring the other world.

Another world is meant to be explored.

And... who knows... you might even get a "wish" that makes all the obstructed children disappear.

Wishes are neither good nor bad, but some people are truly foolish.

Oh.

……

Chen Luo flew through the sky at a relatively fast speed, searching for any trace of human existence.

The clairvoyance is indeed usable, but without the Herrscher of the Void's abilities, Chen Luo cannot use spatial teleportation, so he can only fly obediently.

This made Chen Luo begin to miss his Herrscher abilities.

Before long, Chen Luo saw the giant stone tablet standing there.

These megaliths made of ruthenium have the function of repelling Gastrea, which will actively stay away from any objects made of this metal.

For this reason, megalithic monuments made of chalcogenide were an essential architectural feature of every city.

The location of the megalith is the border.

Crossing the border leads to the outer area.

The so-called outer areas are places with few human residents due to their proximity to the border, and the government does not provide them with policy resources or basic resources such as water and electricity. However, some heavily polluting enterprises are located here.

In addition, the thick clouds formed by the dust from the giant stone monument make the environment really not good, so it is basically uninhabitable here.

Even though the monolith can withstand 99.9% of original creatures, one or two may occasionally slip through. For ordinary people, encountering a Gastrea is no different from death.

The best outcome is still infection, but becoming a Gastrea after infection is worse than death.

Gastrea also possess intelligence, and higher Gastrea even know how to deploy their forces.

However, even in this area (the outer perimeter), there are traces of human activity.

Even if life in the outer areas is terrible, at least it is within the border, so occasionally some cursed children abandoned by their parents will gather here.

Even though those hindered children who form partnerships with humans and are called facilitators often face discrimination from humans in the city, it's something only lucky hindered children can do.

After all, for humans, the obstructed child is just a tool, and enough tools are sufficient.

Dead? Just find another one, right?

There aren't many "police officers" among humans willing to partner with the Cursed Child, so the demand for the Cursed Child is relatively low...

The plight of those abandoned and hindered children is unimaginable.

In the eyes of most people, there is no problem even if such tools kill people, and there are no laws to protect them.

Chen Luo found such a gathering place for abandoned and hindered children, a gathering place transformed from a sewer.

"..."

"..."

In the ruins not far from the manhole cover, Chen Luo found a cursed child with red eyes.

Chen Luo and the cursed son stared at each other for a long time. Perhaps it was only after the cursed son finally remembered his companion's instructions that he belatedly decided to run away.

Despite possessing greater strength than humans, their first reaction upon seeing humans is to run away.

While expressing his feelings, Chen Luo also unleashed his ultimate move.

When the lollipop appeared in front of the girl, she immediately stopped trying to run away.

No one can resist a little girl's lollipop, no one!

Back then, Chen Luo started by snatching a little girl's lollipop, but now he can produce countless little girls' lollipops, which is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

"Little sister, will you take me to your house?" Chen Luo tempted the child with a lollipop.

[...minimum three years, maximum death penalty.]

Chen Luo, right now you really look like a die-hard lolicon!

【persuade】

success

Persuasion skills are quite useful in this world, especially since we're currently in a post-apocalyptic state.

This persuasive ability was originally a side skill of the savior, allowing him to thrive in this world's environment.

Or rather, the ability to be a savior itself represents an advantage in the apocalypse.

Chen Luo doesn't even dare to activate this passive talent in the previous civilization.

With this passive skill activated, Chen Luo might become the leader of the Fire Moths in a while.

What's so great about being the boss?

Now that Chen Luo is the boss of the puppet world, he not only has to take care of their food and drink, but also find leveling dungeons for them!

Being the leader of a powerful force was already driving Chen Luo crazy!

Chen Luo's ability to adapt to the current environment, coupled with the difference in mental attributes between himself and the little girl in front of him, makes his persuasive skills almost impossible to fail, unless he encounters a mentally specialized type of cursed child.

After successfully persuading the girl, she timidly accepted the lollipop from Chen Luo and headed towards her home village.

She would take a few steps and then look back at Chen Luo, as if to make sure Chen Luo was keeping up.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers as he watched the cursed child leading him toward the base.

If Chen Luo simply followed this cursed child to the settlement, the cursed child might become angry with his companions. Therefore, for the sake of the other person's mental health, Chen Luo decided to pretend.

Chen Luo already felt terrible about deceiving the child.

The least rejection exists between children of the curse.

Of course, Chen Luo did not intend to become the child of obstruction himself, but rather to find one for himself temporarily.

"Father?" The mercury lamp, which Chen Luo had suddenly summoned, looked at Chen Luo.

"Do me a favor," Chen Luo whispered.

Chen Luo now misses his power as the Law of Consciousness more and more. Without the power of the Law of Consciousness, Chen Luo is even unable to modify the collective consciousness.

Herald powers are really useful.jpg

The simple techniques for using spiritual power can be hinted at, but... it doesn't work.

This is truly disheartening.

When the boy who had been leading Chen Luo around turned around again, he noticed a little girl with red eyes suddenly appearing beside Chen Luo.

It was the Mercury Lamp that transformed into a human-shaped form.

Depending on the degree of power release, Mercury Lamp can increase his height to a maximum of 165 cm... or was it 170 cm?

Never mind, it's not a big problem!

Great! Now Chen Luo is also a police officer with his own originator!

Chapter 1513 Those who like lolis can't be all that bad.

"Thank you for your help." The old man known as the Elder in this gathering place of the Cursed Children expressed his deep gratitude to Chen Luo when he saw the large truckload of supplies he had brought.

"Your help will greatly improve the lives of these children; at least they won't go hungry every day," the elder, surrounded by a group of red-eyed cursed children, said to Chen Luo.

“It’s alright. Providing these supplies is not difficult for me, but they may be crucial for you. Please accept them,” Chen Luo said, holding Mercury Lamp’s hand.

"It's clear you really like your partner." The elder's face remained as kind as ever as he looked at Chen Luo, who hadn't let go of the Mercury Lamp's hand since he appeared before him.

People who like the cursed child can't be all that bad.

In an era where everyone discriminates against the cursed, someone who can become a facilitator, form a partnership with the cursed, and have such a good relationship with them must be a good person.

"Of course." Chen Luo patted Suigintou's head.

This time, Chen Luo had Mercury Lamp disguised as the Child of Obstruction not only because Mercury Lamp's eyes are indeed red, but also because he planned to take Mercury Lamp out for some fresh air.

"Do I need to tell you if Father likes me?" Suigintou, who was not used to communicating with outsiders, said bluntly.

Although arrogance can ruin one's life, since as a doll she doesn't need anyone to love her, only Chen Luo liking her is enough, so Suigintou has never intended to change her personality.

"Father?" The elder's face, which usually smiled at the children, stiffened for a moment.

The elder looked at Chen Luo in astonishment, then at the mercury lamp.

Are young people these days having such extravagant fun?

"Ahem, please don't misunderstand, this child's memory is actually only less than two months old... You should understand what I mean." Although Chen Luo was deeply hurt by Suigintou's betrayal, he quickly recovered.

"...I understand now. What a pitiful child." The elder's eyes softened instantly.

Alas, poor child, he must have been hated by many people in the past, which led to amnesia for some reason, and he was eventually adopted by Chen Luo, right?

A child this age has less than two months of memories. If it's not amnesia, what else could it be?

The most dangerous thing is to fill in the blanks with your own imagination.

Chen Luo didn't need to explain at all; he just needed to guide the conversation. Besides, Chen Luo wasn't lying.

"Alright, the children have almost finished moving all the supplies, so I should be going now. See you next time." After Chen Luo and Mercury Lamp got back into the now empty minivan, he waved to the elders and the cursed children, then stepped on the gas and drove away, heading into the city.

"It seems that even in a world that is utterly corrupt, there will still be many good people. Of course, similarly, even in a world with extremely high moral standards, there will still be incorrigible scoundrels."

Take the elder we just talked about, for example; he was an exceptionally good person.

While the humans of this world certainly harbor immense malice towards these cursed children, there are still those who can rationally view these children who are no more than ten years old.

They were just children, and they never did anything wrong, so why transfer the hatred for Gastrea onto them?

With this belief, the elderly man, known as the Elder, used his savings to build a shelter in the outer district, built along the sewers, to take in the homeless, cursed children.

A cursed child is the offspring of a woman who inhaled gastritis during pregnancy, resulting in a mutation in the child.

But this does not mean that the mothers will die as a result, so these cursed children originally had families.

However, the aversion to obstructed children has now become a social trend in Tokyo and around the world.

As a result, more and more children are being driven out of their homes.

Those who are hindered and have adults or facilitators (similar to normal people who monitor the cursed children who are the initiators) who are willing to take shelter may be in a better situation, but those who are homeless and not so lucky... it is hard to imagine their fate.

Of course, there are good and bad among those who take in the cursed child, and it is Chen Luo's job to distinguish them.

……

"Father, why are these people looking at me so strangely? Can I gouge out their eyes?" Mercury Lamp said coldly as Chen Luo led her hand along the bustling street.

Mercury Lamp disliked all humans except Chen Luo. Later, after learning magic from Morgan and being influenced by him, she became even less inclined to be polite to people.

Dressed in glamorous attire, and with Suigintou's unbelievably exquisite face, she should have been the most dazzling figure on the street, and indeed she was. However, when everyone saw Suigintou's red pupils, their attitudes changed in an instant.

Without exception, the gazes directed at us now, like those of a mercury lamp, are filled with discrimination, disdain, and disgust.

"Sweetie, wait a little longer, you can poke it whenever you want later."

Chen Luo now misses his power as a Law Enforcer of Knowledge once again.

This is a low-magic world, with a high repulsion to special energies.

As the saying goes, the poor rely on mutations, the rich rely on technology, and the low-magic world relies on viruses.

In fact, Chen Luo had already imbued the Mercury Lamp with suggestive abilities, and at the maximum power that an ordinary person could achieve. Even so, it could only reduce vision by more than 80%. Otherwise, if Chen Luo were walking down the street with a red-eyed child of obstruction, someone would have already come looking for trouble.

It's not that it's impossible to make more advanced suggestions, but that would require even more magical power and might even cause anomalies in the surrounding space.

According to the humanized plugin's estimation, if Yukari Yakumo and the others were to arrive in this world, they would contribute at most less than 50% of their original strength. This is because Yukari Yakumo is a youkai, and this world has Gastrea.

Although it sounds strange, Gastrea are considered monsters, and they possess rather bizarre abilities.

If it were a human with innate talent, their strength would be suppressed to below 40% here.

Indeed, conceptual powers are the most useful.

But none of Chen Luo's talents are related to concealment.

Ultimately, it has been proven that the dazzling, unorthodox method of using three-eight dice should not be used indiscriminately.
