章節 88: Chapter 88 - Tina Wants to Change the Cursed Child's Existence

Tina managed to make her way to Seitenshi's room. At this moment, Seitenshi wasn't sleeping, and she was protected by her exclusive security guards outside the room.

Seitenshi looked at the time—it was already late at night, time to rest. Just as she was about to lie down, she heard the sound of a window opening. Before she could say anything, Tina spoke first.

"Tina Sprout."

"You are?"

Of course, Seitenshi knew who Tina was; her wanted poster had never been taken down. According to the notice, Tina was guilty of killing civilians and destroying public facilities, among other charges. However, during her review of Tina's documents, Seitenshi found many inconsistencies. Because of this, when Tina said her name, Seitenshi calmed down instead.

"Please... help the Cursed Children."

"Tina..."

Seitenshi looked at Tina, who bowed her head, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She wanted to improve the treatment of the Cursed Children. After all, they were just children infected with a virus and had done nothing wrong.

To put it into perspective, the number of deaths caused by Cursed Children was fewer each year than those who died by foolishly running outside the city walls. All the deaths caused by the Cursed Children occurred when someone infected with the Gastrea mutated on the spot and killed everyone around them.

"I'll help you guys, but Tina, can I meet the person behind you?"

As the leader of the Tokyo region, Seitenshi had been keeping an eye on the region's information. She noticed that the number of Cursed Children around had been dwindling, and positive remarks about them were appearing online. This made her realize that someone might be behind this change.

She suspected that Tina had an organization backing her, as the positive remarks seemed unusually coordinated.

At this moment, Tina hesitated. Was there an organization behind her? Not really. The ideas came from her interactions in a game forum where she simulated a world order collapse scenario involving virus-infected children. Over ten years, this forum gained a niche following, and people there contributed countless solutions. Tina picked and implemented three of those solutions.

So, there wasn't a single person behind it, but the collective effort of many online contributors. However, Seitenshi seemed to expect a more tangible organization.

Tina hesitated for a long time and nodded, "Yes, I'll go ask."

On the front foot, she said she would ask, and on the back foot, she contacted Liu Yuan through TT. At that time, Liu Yuan had already unlocked his door and was preparing for sleep. He saw Tina's message and sighed. If he went to Tina's world again, it would be his third trip, costing him tens of thousands of dollars.

But considering the situation in Tina's world, he could only sigh helplessly, "An investment is an investment. Besides, Tina is involved. As long as they don't give me money, I won't go!"

Liu Yuan put on his clothes and went downstairs. He saw Kisara and Jibril playing Red Alert.

"You guys play. I'm going out."

"Good~"

As Liu Yuan left, he threw two bottles of ice coke to them and reminded Jibril, "Yours counts towards your outstanding account."

"Good~"

Arriving in the Black Bullet world, Liu Yuan didn't immediately go to Tina's place but strolled around first. He looked at the army of Gastrea outside and compared their range to his divine sword. Feeling reassured, he arrived at Tina's location. She was standing in a hall with Seitenshi, Tendo Kikonojo, and the guards.

Apart from Seitenshi, the rest of the people had hostile looks towards Tina. Liu Yuan observed Tendo; he was a standard politician, hard to read. But Takuto Yasuwaki, the captain of the guards, had clear intentions to kill Tina.

Seitenshi was too young and relied heavily on Tendo. When Liu Yuan appeared, everyone tensed up, recognizing him as the one who had caused chaos in Tokyo.

"Your Excellency, that day you..."

Seitenshi spoke first. They had investigated the people Liu Yuan killed; they were worse than human scum.

"That day? It wasn't good. But you're looking for me about the Cursed Child, right? How about this: let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

"Your monolith will collapse in eight days at most. I bet that within seven days, the Cursed Children can resolve this crisis on their own, proving they are useful and not a threat. If we win, you, Seitenshi, will need to personally order that the Cursed Children be granted basic human rights."

He can see that, Aldebaran, one of the Seven Stage V Gastrea, is arriving with a horse of Gastrea.

"What about failure?"

Liu Yuan spread his hands, "Failure means we all die."

He saw that Seitenshi was pushing for human rights for the Cursed Children but faced significant obstacles. If it were him, he'd have dealt with enemies directly. But Tina, as a Cursed Child with low status, could only rely on him as her backing.

Fail? Impossible. Liu Yuan knew Tina's capabilities, including her nearly invincible unlimited ammo Ada Wong's love bazooka.
