Chapter 150

He was becoming more and more "unable to help himself."

Volume 4: Evil Magic City Tokyo: 142: Master Leipu Assassination Plan

It was the twentieth day since Qi Xing arrived in Tokyo.

In a secret base of the Rise Mora Group, hidden a hundred meters underground behind a shopping mall,

accompanied by the "clanking" sound of heavy metal rails, the heavy steel door slowly opened.

The leader of the Rise Mora Group—Dr. Dogenzaka Elio—finally walked out of his most confidential laboratory and announced gleefully:

"—Finally! My greatest invention is finally complete!"

"Cheer, you brats! We no longer have to fear—"

"…Brats?"

The voice stopped abruptly.

The doctor looked blankly at the assembly hall of his base.

This place was usually noisy, always crowded with all sorts of monsters, cadres, combatants, and research assistants.

Although Dr. Elio's laboratory was secret and its location known only to him—this kind of base was something many monsters could use, allowing them a space to interact with one another.

However, at this moment, the place was so empty that one could almost hear the wind.

A layer of dust had settled on the sofa, the vending machine in the corner hadn't been restocked in ages, and even one of the lights on the ceiling was broken, with no one having replaced it.

"Huh?"

Dr. Elio scratched his head, tilting it as he looked around.

A few cracked biochemical ingot boxes were scattered on the floor, and two torn combat suits hung on the wall.

The table that used to be the busiest in the center of the hall was now devoid of combatants, with only two monsters looking constipated, huddled in a corner playing cards.

What was going on? How did it come to this?

Looking around, Dr. Elio saw a combatant cleaning, dragging a broken mop to scrub the blood-stained floor.

"You! You—what's your number again!" the doctor shouted at him. "Where are the others? Where are my cadres?"

"Gi!"

The combatant hurriedly dropped the mop and saluted the leader,

"Uh… Doctor, while you were in seclusion in the laboratory, Princess Black Needle was defeated by Magical Girl Artemina!"

Nani?

Dr. Elio was shocked.

"Princess Black Needle was actually defeated… but it doesn't matter! Our group still has many outstanding elites! What about my favorite drug-enhanced warrior who loves to expand, Zhuke?"

"Uh," the combatant said, breaking out in a cold sweat, "Lord Zhuke's whereabouts were exposed by the Onmyoryo five days ago, and he was attacked by Master Leipu."

"Although he raised his fist to the sky before the fight, shouting 'A mere Master Leipu is nothing but an impure creature who doesn't understand the way of the anus! A guy who doesn't know how to play the back door, what does he know about rape!'—and then charged at Master Leipu… he still died heroically!"

Nani?!

Dr. Elio wiped his sweat: "Even the monster with our strongest regeneration ability and muscle power was defeated? But since it's Master Leipu, that's not surprising—then, what about Mr. Hypnosis?"

Mr. Hypnosis, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Rise Mora Group, his performance surely wouldn't disappoint Dr. Elio, right?

"Two days ago, Mr. Hypnosis tried to disguise himself as a passing free health hypnotist to hypnotize the Magical Girl!"

The combatant replied with tears in his eyes, gritting his teeth,

"But that detestable Master Leipu! He had actually pre-cast 'counter-hypnosis' on all the heroes in Tokyo who were willing to accept it!"

"Mr. Hypnosis had just issued the hypnosis command to the Magical Girl when he saw her eyes suddenly go blank, and she erupted with 120% of her super combat instinct and potential, beating Mr. Hypnosis to death right there on the spot!"

"All the hypnotic substitutes you developed before, Doctor—whether it's hypnosis apps, common sense modification devices, hypnotic radio towers, and this and that… they are all useless now!"

Nani!!?

"Before Mr. Hypnosis died, he asked everyone to pass a message to you,"

at this point, even the lowest-ranking little combatant couldn't help but have tears in his eyes,

"—He would never surrender! Even if he died, in his next life, he would reincarnate as a high school counselor to live on!"

What a stirring and heroic last testament!

This is exactly the kind of final moment that a Four Heavenly King, a true man, a real tough guy of the Rise Mora Group, should have!

Dr. Elio wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, gritted his teeth, and continued to ask: "I roughly understand the situation with the cadres. Have the middle and low-level members also been wiped out so quickly?"

This question finally made the combatant shudder.

Then, the combatant said in a trembling voice, revealing the thing that made Dr. Elio feel the most terrified today:

"…Last night, a mole bought off by Master Leipu instigated Tanaka of the NTR faction to secretly hide an NTR doujinshi in the bookshelf of Sato of the Pure Love faction!"

"And it was a doujinshi that started off really pure love, and only began to describe the NTR in detail in the middle! It completely tricked Sato!"

Eek!

Too terrifying!

For a moment, Dr. Elio's entire face turned bluish-black, and the large goggles on his head flickered, as if reflecting his current mental breakdown!

He quickly pulled up the surveillance footage from the assembly hall last night, and immediately saw the tragic state at the time—

Monster Tanaka: "I don't care what your hobbies are! I rarely recommend my collection to you, and you don't even thank me?!"

Monster Tanaka: "If an unfamiliar character is suddenly NTR'd, the excitement is only halved, what does that have to do with you? It's only interesting if it happens after you've empathized with them! The initial despair will gradually turn into pleasure!"

Monster Sato: "You lunatic, I won't spare you!"

(From the recording, one could see that it was at this moment that the two monsters truly transformed and started fighting each other.)

Monster Suzuki: "Stop it! Don't start a real fight over such a bullshit matter!"

Monster Sato: "Bull, bullshit matter?! Damn it, you're asking for death! Take this, all of you taste the pain I'm feeling!"

Monster Suzuki: "If you're going to be like this, don't blame me for being impolite! It was you who secretly stuffed a shota-counterattack doujinshi into my sister × brother collection last time, right?! Sister × brother and brother × sister are not the same thing, why can't you just understand that?!"

Monster Ito: "You guys, stop it! I've had enough of you, you are all enemies who don't acknowledge yuri! My sanctuary doesn't need dicks!"

Monster Yamamoto: "Step-sisters are just a substitute meal in the end! Real sisters are the truth!"

…Just like that, the entire underground base, monsters, and combatants, because of stuffing an NTR doujinshi onto a Pure Love faction member's bookshelf, these villains who usually claimed to be like-minded people erupted like radical fanatics into a civil war, exploding like a nuclear chain reaction!

Emotions ignited like dry firewood in a chain reaction, and the entire underground base was completely reduced to a slaughterhouse within minutes. Monsters fought, furniture flew, ventilation ducts were blocked by limbs, and someone even took the opportunity to use an electric drill to carve the sentence "Traps are victory" on the ceiling.

Watching the chaotic yet tragic scenes on the screen, Dr. Elio felt his blood pressure soar, his temples throbbing, his lungs about to explode, and he almost vomited blood.

Damn you, Master Leipu! How dare you… how could you do such a vicious thing?! Do you have any humanity left?!

Is this something a human would do?!

—If Qi Xing were here, standing in front of him at this moment, he would surely puff out his chest without hesitation and declare that this is exactly what a human would do.

Can these monsters who think with their lower bodies instead of their brains even be considered human? Cruelly killing them without hesitation, using all kinds of means, is the only way to purify society.

And this is why he insists that among the three major evil forces in Tokyo, the Rise Mora Group must be eliminated first.

The Yatsufusa-kai is a gang, and no matter how vicious a gang is, it ultimately has its own order; although it's unknown what the Musk Pavilion is actually trying to do, they are the smallest in scale, and the damage they can cause is ultimately relatively limited.

Only the Rise Mora Group—if this group of perverted madmen with high-tech and supernatural powers were to run rampant and do whatever they wanted in Tokyo, that would truly be a living hell.

Back to Dr. Elio, standing in the center of the empty hall, he was now like an actor who had gone on stage only to find no audience, the stage collapsed, and even the microphone had been dismantled.

Master Leipu! You dare to use such vicious methods to destroy the bonds of my group members!

Can such a thing be tolerated?

If this can be tolerated, what cannot! One of us must die!

…In summary, this is the current situation of the great evil scientist after two weeks of seclusion.

Where did he go wrong? Where was the problem? Was it wrong for him to bury himself in developing new weapons?

Not necessarily.

It is obvious that even with Dr. Dogenzaka Elio's shocking evil wisdom, he still underestimated Master Leipu's determination and efficiency in "thoroughly cracking down on organized crime."

"The Yatsufusa-kai and the Musk Pavilion… uh, even if I asked for help, those two bastards wouldn't come to help, and I don't want to ask that old hag at the Musk Pavilion for help either…"

Holding his head in deep thought, Dr. Elio racked his brain, wondering what he should do now.

Actually, no matter how many monsters and combatants died or were injured, Dr. Elio had a way to solve it. After all, they were all modified by him. As long as there was time and materials, the doctor could modify more at any time.

But the problem was, where did he have the time now?

That's right, the doctor had just completed the greatest invention of his life.

But no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't think that he could defeat Master Leipu by himself with just one new invention…

A frontal confrontation was a dead end; defeating Master Leipu normally was impossible.

Then, he needed to use all his wisdom and cunning. He needed to…

"…As expected, I still have to find a way to set a trap and lure Master Leipu in."

How to lure him?

In fact, these villains indeed already had a set of mature methods.

"Does Master Leipu have any weaknesses he cares about, or hostages that can be captured to threaten him?"

Thinking back and forth, Dr. Elio narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Never heard of any."

The combatant scratched his head in thought,

"He must have just gotten married recently, right? But that woman named Elaine seems to be with him every moment, so even if we wanted to kidnap her for leverage, there's no opportunity."

"He also seems to have brought a young girl, that so-called Guardian of the North, from the Northeast—but for some reason, that girl has now become the eldest young lady of the Lionheart Society. Not only is she guarded by the knights of the Lionheart Society, but her own combat power is as strong as a ghost or god; she's not someone who can be kidnapped for leverage either!"

Besides these two girls who were either impossible to catch or impossible to provoke, there were no other weak points around Qi Xing—rather, could these even be considered weak points?

A lone star of evil, truly terrifying! It's outrageous!

But as he thought about it, Dr. Elio really came up with a way: "Isn't that Magical Girl Artemina following Master Leipu around all day recently?"

"If I capture her, won't I be able to lure Master Leipu over?"

However, the combatant shuddered upon hearing this and shook his head immediately, unable to handle it: "Leader, that Artemina killed two of our Four Heavenly Kings in two weeks! It's not easy to capture her!"

"Th-then," speechless for a moment, the doctor had to layer his plan, "…does this Artemina have any other weak points we can exploit?"

However, as everyone knows, Artemina had long since handed her parents over to the Public Security Secret Bureau to be hidden and protected, taking them away from Tokyo so she could fight evil with all her might without any worries. Where else would she have any weak points?

Although Dr. Elio could try to kidnap Tsukimiya Ran's friends or classmates as hostages, even with his knees, he knew the effect would definitely be much worse.

"…Got it!"

Thinking of this, Dr. Elio suddenly slapped his thigh, a plan forming in his mind!

"Isn't the answer very simple? Even the Sunday morning children's cartoons would show this!"

Grinning, he was already confident:

"First, we go and kidnap Magical Girl Artemina's—partner!"

"Use her partner to lure Artemina over, and capture her!"

"Next, use Artemina as a hostage to lure Master Leipu over and into the trap,"

"Finally, use my greatest invention—to finish off Master Leipu!"

————————————————

It was a coincidence.

That evening, when the Magical Girl of the Sun, Soleia, Hinata Haruna, returned home from school,

she happened to see her mother, who had rarely come home early, sitting in the living room waiting for her.

And she wasn't here to bond with her daughter.

"Hinata, your homeroom teacher told me that you haven't decided on your future career path yet."

As a career woman, her voice was as calm and crisp as ever, as if she were still giving a presentation in the company conference room. Her makeup was perfect, her suit was sharp, and even after work, she carried the aura of the office with her.
