After a short rest, Kisaragi Rin, feeling mentally exhausted, walked towards the balcony, intending to let the cold wind blow over him.
Opening the windows, Kisaragi Rin's steps suddenly halted mid-air.
Slowly stepping back, Kisaragi Rin silently looked at the still damp floor.
Someone had been in his room again…
The cold wind, mixed with raindrops, hit him. When he looked up again, Kisaragi Rin's expression became even calmer.
…
The heavy rain continued to fall. If someone were appreciating the rainscape at this moment, they would find today's rainwater particularly strange, seemingly avoiding a certain space, subtly forming a human figure.
Kisaragi Rin stood invisibly on the apartment building's rooftop, the Heavenly Eye rune on his brow constantly scanning the surroundings.
"How polite, unlike that Lizard, who didn't even know to close the window after coming in."
Nothing was missing from the house. Since it wasn't for money, then it could only be for that Lizard.
Although the bloodstains had been removed and the large hole covered with a carpet, with a careful investigation, more clues could still be found in the room.
He must find him before his identity as a player is exposed!
The surface of Kisaragi Rin's apartment floor was wooden and would quickly absorb a small amount of rainwater.
Perhaps if Kisaragi Rin had returned a bit later, those watermarks would have disappeared.
But since the floor was still wet, the intruder must not have gone far.
His intelligence, as high as nine points, communicated with the Golden Light Technique in his body, continuously pouring into the Heavenly Eye.
Opening the Heavenly Eye at the brow, giving birth to divine consciousness, recalling past lives, seeing ghosts of the netherworld, and breaking the forms of monsters.
This was the paradise coins's introduction to the Heavenly Eye, but it was just a brief summary. For a Skill to fully manifest its information, it couldn't be explained in just a few words.
This also tested the player's discernment and insight: what was an exaggeration, and what was truly an overpowered effect.
The Golden Light Technique could be used to ward off rain and cold, and the Heavenly Eye, valued at 1300 paradise coins, naturally wasn't just for seeing evil spirits.
As the Golden Light Technique and the Heavenly Eye combined, Kisaragi Rin's mind became clearer, and his vision expanded, as if he had entered a God's perspective.
"Is this divine consciousness?"
It shouldn't have reached the level of a fantasy world; it was more akin to the application of mental power.
Various pieces of information converged, and strange images and sounds constantly flashed in his mind.
Shiina Mahiru was unwrapping gifts, Mafuyu Kirisu was watching TV, and the landlady was doing something strange…
So...
Where was the intruder?
—
Harada Hiroki walked out of the convenience store with a bag of snacks and returned to his car.
It was a black Porsche Macan. Perhaps out of too much admiration for that man, even though the money spent could have bought other better cars, Harada Hiroki still chose it.
Starting the engine, Harada Hiroki prepared to drive away.
According to the organization's hunting experience, people who had just become that type of existence usually didn't have obvious supernatural abilities.
Especially since the owner of that room was a college student, the easiest to deal with.
Arrogant, conceited, and self-important, thinking they were special enough.
Simply as tempting as braised pork.
If it were other members, they would have stayed in the room, waiting for prey, ready to claim this easily obtained merit.
Harada Hiroki didn't do that.
Although staying to catch that high school student could upgrade his Porsche Macan to a Macan S, if he accidentally let him escape, he would never have the chance to drive again.
Not doing too much, not doing too little, not making mistakes, staying vigilant, and knowing when to be content—this was his secret to surviving in the organization until now.
The Porsche slowly drove out of the residential area, and Harada Hiroki habitually drove to a secluded place.
Perhaps he had shed too much blood, and his psychology was a bit problematic. He feared crowded places; once there were too many people, he would lose his sense of security, even to the point of being unable to resist shooting.
Harada Hiroki held the steering wheel with his left hand and pulled out a special phone from his pocket with his right, starting to dial a number to contact his superior.
Ding-a-ling…
Boom!!!
However, what came was not the sound of the call connecting, but the unbearable shattering of the car roof.
With a loud bang, steel distorted, glass shattered, and the airbag deployed, obscuring Harada Hiroki's vision.
"Just in time…"
Kisaragi Rin descended from the sky, panting heavily.
Looking at the still connecting phone, Kisaragi Rin swung the road sign in his hand again, silencing it along with the car hood.
Harada Hiroki hadn't had time to break free from the airbag, but his fingers quickly found his pistol and fired several shots into the air.
Bang bang bang
These shots blocked all positions ahead. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no room to dodge.
Unfortunately, Kisaragi Rin had already seen his movements and agilely struck a JOJO pose, using this unnatural posture to dodge the bullets.
The next moment, without giving Harada Hiroki a chance to continue shooting, Kisaragi Rin had already severed his arms.
"Ah!"
The excruciating pain made Harada Hiroki cry out.
Kisaragi Rin picked him up and threw him out of the car.
Kisaragi Rin held the road sign and chopped it next to his head, threateningly asking, "What organization are you from?"
Harada Hiroki's face turned pale from the pain, and cold sweat mixed with rainwater streamed down his face. He wanted to see who his enemy was but could only see the blood-stained road sign beside him and the faintly human-shaped rainwater in front of him.
This was because Kisaragi Rin's Skill—Stealth—was only Lv2; he couldn't make the road sign, which was taller than him, invisible as well.
"Invisibility plus strength enhancement, this simply can't be a newcomer. This person should have become that kind of existence long ago."
Harada Hiroki secretly felt bitter, feeling extremely unlucky.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and, instead of answering Kisaragi Rin's question, smiled and said, "I just finished paying off the loan for this car."
"Tell me what organization is behind you, and I'll buy you a new one."
Kisaragi Rin certainly had no money, but he was good at making promises.
Harada Hiroki looked at his lost arms; he was silenced by Kisaragi Rin.
"I should have given this task to a colleague. I'm still not vigilant enough."
Harada Hiroki muttered to himself, then suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Any existence that resists the organization will be erased. You won't be an exception…"
Before he could finish his threat, Kisaragi Rin had already acted first, and the sharp road sign instantly sliced open his throat.
Kisaragi Rin suppressed his nausea and pried open his mouth, indeed finding a false tooth.
"If you're going to commit suicide, why do you have to threaten me first? Do you think I haven't watched movies?"
Kisaragi Rin sent this false tooth to the Workshop for the Banana to inspect.
As for him, he had to clean up the scene.
The severed limbs and blood were automatically absorbed by the Workshop, and the weapons and car wreckage were also thrown into the Workshop by Kisaragi Rin. The remaining traces would naturally be handled by the heavy rain.
Kisaragi Rin was more afraid of physical evidence that could directly point to him. Those unreasonable divinations and prophecies, on the other hand, were not a concern, because the Banana told him that the Workshop could counter prophecies and divinations.
In less than two minutes, Kisaragi Rin had already ended this battle, or rather, this pursuit.
He silently apologized to the terrified driver behind him who had abandoned his car and fled.
Kisaragi Rin continued to leave the area invisibly.
A few more minutes passed before the police car finally arrived belatedly.
Wee-wooo weee-wooo~
