Chapter 426 Recruiting: Miss Owl Agreed!
With the Pureblood Society's affairs settled, there were no longer any obstacles to the implementation of the Gastrea method.
Many people from all over the world came to exchange their insights on the new method of the original intestine with the Holy Emperor.
At the same time, they also invited the Scorpio Cult to set up branch cults in their safe zone.
For some time now, Broly found himself surrounded by smiling, friendly people.
"A good person?"
Broly boy, don't get me wrong, those guys aren't good people, they're just a bunch of sycophantic scoundrels.
When you are weak, they will be vicious wolves that devour you; only when you are strong will they be groveling dogs.
However, this is just a facade; who knows what these guys are really thinking behind the scenes? So, you'd better be careful, lest you get bitten by a wolf that seems like a loyal dog.
Hiruko Kohina's father, Hiruko Kagetane, always liked to say profound things.
"Then how can I tell the difference between a vicious wolf and a loyal dog?"
Broly politely asked the other person for advice.
"Does a tail pointing down make a wolf, and a tail pointing up make a dog?"
The joke about distinguishing between wolves and dogs came to mind, prompting Broly to ask the question.
"That is one way to distinguish them, but people generally don't have tails, so we can't tell them apart by how their tails are held upright. The only way to tell them apart is when they show their fangs."
Hiruko Eiji answered seriously.
"But I can't stay in this world forever."
Broly was troubled by this.
"I've heard about this from Hinata, so I think we should build a sufficiently strong protective force for the Scorpion Cult before Broly Boy and the others leave. What do you think?"
"That makes sense, but how do we do it?"
"Using the ability to perfectly transform into Gastrea, we will recruit the top-ranked Initiators in the world, send them job offers from our Church's Inquisition, and invite them to join us."
"That sounds good, but what if they refuse?"
"The originators of top-ranked IPs generally have a high rate of gastrovirus erosion in their bodies. Under such circumstances, it would be very problematic if they refused our help."
Of course, I'm not referring to a group of children who are usually no more than ten years old and have a problem, but rather to the police officers who are their partners and may have a problem.
Those people may brainwash, coerce, or otherwise manipulate their originators, and the only reason they would refuse to join the Scorpion Cult is probably that they don't really want to be friends with us.
While it's true that not everyone who isn't a friend will necessarily be an enemy, those who aren't friends are highly likely to become enemies of the Scorpion Cult in the future…
"Hiruko Kagetane, you're selling Broly anxiety again!"
Just as the masked man was about to continue speaking, Rentaro Satomi, who was passing by, interrupted him.
"Oh, Satomi, you need to understand, I'm doing this for the good of the world. Only if our Scorpion Cult maintains absolute military power can the world maintain peace more easily, and war will not easily break out."
Now, purebloods are being eradicated, children of curses are gradually being accepted, social conflicts are greatly alleviated, and it seems that the whole world is about to join hands and enter an era of peace and unity.
However, all of this is predicated on the existence of a powerful Scorpio cult.
But Broly, Aqua, and Lady Eris can't stay in this world for long. Once they leave, do you think the current situation can remain the same?
"You have a point, but I don't trust you personally. I think you're more likely to expand the Inquisition and cause trouble in this world with a group of Inquisition members after Broly leaves. That's what I think you're capable of doing."
"This is really sad. Do I look like that kind of person?"
Hiruko Kagetane's words earned him a nod of agreement from both the boy and the Saiyan boy.
"So does that mean we should do nothing? You know, many things are easier to do when you're strong. Once you're weak, it becomes much harder to do them."
Rentaro Satomi agreed with Hiruko Kagetane's words, and on that very day, he submitted an application to join the Tribunal to Eris, who was now in charge of managing the Scorpion Cult.
In the boy's words, a madman like Hiruko Kagetane needs someone to check him, and although he doesn't think he's qualified, he still has to step in.
Subsequently, the matter of increasing the number of members in the trial court was also put on the agenda, but the target of the invitation changed from the top-ranked Cursed Child himself to the police force group facing all the top-ranked members.
Those who agree need no further explanation; simply recruit people to join.
If they refuse, Hiruko Kagetane will usually conduct an investigation.
Once it's confirmed that those who refuse clearly disagree with the Scorpion Cult's doctrines, such as by abusing their own partners or initiators, Hiruko Kagetane will happily send these people to their doom.
Despite having no real faith in Scorpio, Hiruko Kagetane, the vice-chairman of the court, behaved like a true fanatical believer.
Everyone knows that Hiruko Kagetane is just using the doctrines of the Scorpion Cult to carry out a blatant massacre, but no one can find fault with him.
Hiruko Kagetane, this madman, found his place in the new era: the vice-chairman of the Heretic Inquisition of the Scorpion Cult.
His daughter, Hiruko Kohina, followed him and became even happier while slaughtering heretics who opposed the Scorpion Cult.
While sending invitations to top-ranked police officers worldwide to join the cult, Tina finally couldn't hide her identity any longer and confessed to Broly.
"I am Black Wind, ranked 98th in IP. My main profession is an assassin, and my goal in coming to Tokyo this time is... to assassinate the Holy Emperor."
"No wonder, I always felt there was something strange about you."
"I'm sorry, Broly, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Tina lowered her head and apologized, feeling that her friendship was over.
"It's alright, but do you still intend to assassinate the Holy Emperor?"
Broly didn't mind being kept in the dark, but he was troubled by what the girl was going to do.
"No, because the employer is dead, that is Qi Wuzongxuan."
Tina shook her head.
"Oh, that's good!"
Broly relaxed.
"Broly, aren't you angry with me?"
"What do I blame you for?"
"It's my fault for wanting to assassinate your wife."
During her time in Tokyo, she had figured out the relationship between the Holy Emperor and the boy.
"Uh, it seems like we should blame someone for that."
Broly nodded in agreement with Tina, then added, "But you're my wife too!"
Upon hearing this, Tina's eyes widened, her little mouth opened, and she made an "Eh" sound.
"What are you surprised about?"
Broly stared at her with wide eyes.
"You never told me about this!"
Tina said.
"Well……"
Broly then realized that he hadn't actually told Tina about this.
"So, you don't want to?"
The Saiyan boy became a little nervous, recalling the many consecutive defeats he experienced at the beginning of his journey in this world.
"Well……"
Miss Owl twirled her hands behind her back, a blush creeping onto her fair face.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that you don't mind my identity as an assassin?"
She asked in a low voice.
"Why complain?"
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
"I killed many people."
"More than me?"
"Well……"
Tina realized what was happening and shook her head.
"So, will you say yes?"
Tina's lips trembled, and she lowered her head, letting out a soft "hmm".
"Hey, hey, don't push!"
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Aqua fell to the ground.
On her body were Aihara Enju, Senju Natsuyo, Hiruko Kohina, Little Scorpio, and a cat-eared girl named Fuse Midori.
Fuse Midori, this child only joined the Scorpio Cult in the last week. The person who brought her here is named Shojiro Satomi, who is Rentaro Satomi's senior brother.
After discovering that the girl was also a target of Crystal Palace's affections, Aqua used her papal power to have the girl transferred to live here.
She was originally a very timid girl, but under the influence of Aihara Enju, Senju Natsuyo, and others, she is now able to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
"I...I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was just dragged here."
The cat-eared girl stammered as she explained why she was there.
"Tina, I didn't expect you to be an assassin. Shall we fight later?"
Hiruko Kohina, on the other hand, is very interested in Tina.
Meanwhile, Chizu Natsuyo, who was pinned down underneath, gave Tina a thumbs up.
The girl with the owl-like temperament finally couldn't hold back her tears, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.
"Master Aqua, I didn't push it."
Enju Aihara then explained.
"Yes, yes, I know you didn't push it."
The latest novel is first published here!
Aqua got up and said to Tina, "Little Tina, you made the right choice. Don't worry, no matter what your identity was before, you will only have one identity from now on, which is my Broly's wife. As long as you listen to your master, there will be absolutely no problem."
"Mom, what's a wife?"
Little Scorpio then asked questions from the side.
"Wife means important family member."
Aqua replied.
"So, Daddy is my wife too?"
Scorpio pointed at Broly and asked.
"You should call your father 'husband,' and you are his concubine."
Aqua corrected her.
"I'm the concubine, and Daddy is the husband..."
Little Scorpio muttered to herself, but since becoming human, she has been able to speak fluently.
However, she has a very simple personality; she believes whatever Aqua says.
"Daddy, husband, husband, daddy~"
Broly thus acquired two new nicknames.
"I come from NEXT, facilitated by Professor Ayn Rand's fabricated identity as a police officer. Besides that, there are some of my sisters in NEXT, all of whom are ranked in the top 100..."
After getting over her initial blushing phase, Tina began to introduce herself.
If she could, she would wish that her sisters would stop working as assassins.
This recruitment of top-ranking police officers by the Scorpion Cult presents a very good opportunity.
That evening, a Saiyan boy visited an underground military base in Washington.
"Damn it!"
With the base under attack, the cursed children inside naturally retaliated.
Unfortunately, their strength was far inferior to Broly's, and they were easily defeated by the Saiyan boy.
Even the hottest-tempered Eileen let out such a roar, but she couldn't get up at all under the boy's feet.
"Professor Anne Rand, it's a pleasure to meet you. My daughter Tina has been taken care of by you before."
Ann Rand was somewhat taken aback; he had already realized that Tina had leaked the secret, but...
"No way, it's me who's been taken care of by that child."
Recognizing the Saiyan boy, he smiled and answered.
"Lord Broly, what brings you here?"
"Ayn Rand asked."
"Tina doesn't want her sister to continue working as an assassin. Our Scorpion Cult happens to need some guardians, so we'd like to offer them a new job. What do you, as their guardian, think?"
Broly looked at the man in the white coat in front of him and asked directly.
"That would be fantastic. I actually didn't want to take on any more dirty work for a long time, but in this country, you're not free to do what you're told. If you want better treatment, you have to put in the corresponding effort."
To this, Ayn Rand did not object, a gesture that surprised Broly.
"I thought you were going to refuse?"
"I want to live a little longer."
Professor Ayn Rand, speaking frankly, volunteered himself.
"Lord Broly, I wonder if your Scorpio Cult accepts researchers like myself?"
Broly: "..."
I thought it would take some effort, but it didn't; Ayn Rand was very cooperative.
Under his orders, the hot-tempered Eileen immediately gave up resisting.
The same was true for the other girls.
. . . .
"Ayn Rand, you old stubborn fool, you've betrayed the oath we made together."
When Ayn Rand arrived in Tokyo with her female assassins, Sumire Muroto, the Scorpion Cult's top researcher, met with him. Upon learning that the girls with him were cursed children who had undergone mechanical modification, Sumire Muroto immediately began to berate the man in front of her, who was actually much older than he was and had only dyed black hair.
The so-called oath was a promise made by the four scientists who were in charge of the New Human Creation Project, in order to uphold their basic human decency and not to mechanically modify healthy people who were not disabled.
"Although I broke my vow, at least I made these children's lives better."
Ayn Rand argued.
"You trained them to be assassins, and they're living even better lives. Truly, scum is scum!"
Sumire Muroto looked at the man with disdain.
"There's no other way. The New Human Creation Project was halted midway, and if I want to continue the research, I need to solve the funding problem."
"Broly!"
"Wait, Dr. Muroto."
"What's wrong, Tina?"
"Dr. Muroto, although Professor Ayn Rand used us as killing tools, we were never mistreated under his care."
"Compared to other normal children of the curse, our lives are indeed better, even with the dangers. He has given us a place that feels like home, so please don't harm Professor Ayn Rand."
"Alright, but his research on mechanical modification might lead him to continue searching for new cursed children to modify, which violates the doctrines of the Scorpion Cult."
"Hey, Sumire Muroto, you can't assume that about me. I can also conduct normal mechanical modification research, such as researching mechanical prostheses and internal organs that are more suitable for people with physical disabilities."
If you're willing to give me the opportunity, I could even abandon my current mechanical modification research and switch to studying the theology of the Scorpion Cult!
"Ha, no wonder you old codger took the opportunity to climb the social ladder. So your goal was the purification and healing techniques of our Scorpion Cult."
"Sumire Muroto, you and I are both researchers, so you should be able to understand better the curiosity and desire to explore the unknown that people like us have."
Your Scorpion Cult is aggressively recruiting top-ranked police units, presumably to ensure the military superiority of its grassroots members.
"If the Scorpio Cult is willing to hire me, not only will the children around me become loyal followers of the Scorpio Cult in the future, but I myself will also bring ample rewards to the Scorpio Cult afterward."
Professor Ayn Rand then took out several USB drives, which contained advanced technical data that he had copied before leaving Washington.
Below are development data on various high-powered weapons, and above are design drawings for new boundary marker structures to improve the utilization efficiency of ruthenium metal.
"If he wants to join, let him join. If he causes problems later, just have Hiruko Kagetane kill him."
Aqua was indifferent to Professor Ann Rand's shameless attempt to join the Scorpion Cult's research department; she was more than happy for talented people to become the Scorpion Cult's lackeys.
Of course, if the other party wants to conduct some dangerous research, such as wanting to study your daughter's Scorpio zodiac sign, then you don't need to be polite to them.
If they dare to show any such signs, they'll be annihilated in an instant.
Having strength is confidence. Even if Hiruko Kagetane can't handle it, there's still Scorpio. It's just a matter of exchanging a few more words with Little Scorpio.
"Keep an eye on that old man. If he's disrespectful to you, then..."
Aqua gives a thumbs-up and makes a throat-slitting gesture at her neck.
"I understand, Aqua's mother!"
Little Scorpio nodded in response, then, with a straight face, imitated Aqua by making a thumbs-up throat-cutting gesture.
