Chapter 124 Everyone Turns Dark
The corners of Hoshino Hitomi's mouth twitched and she changed the subject:
[Let’s not talk about this anymore. Xiaoyi, do you know when my healing bracelet disappeared? I clearly remember that when I was in the cave, it was still on my wrist, but then it disappeared inexplicably…]
Xiaoyi thought about it for a while, and then replied:
[Well, the healing bracelet was picked up by Furuya Rei.]
Xiaoyi then explained:
[When the cave exploded, the host's bracelet showed signs of breaking. Later, due to the large fluctuations when being transported to the police academy, the bracelet broke into several pieces and even scratched the host's wrist.]
[Furiya Rei probably thought that the host still needed this bracelet, so in order not to lose the broken pieces of the bracelet, he picked them up for the host to keep.]
Xiaoyi added:
[If the healing bracelet returns to the host, it can be repaired and restored to normal use by spending 50 points]
Hoshino Hitomi: ...So that's how she got the injury on her wrist.
However, she was a little scared to find Furuya Rei to get back her bracelet fragments. She even didn't dare to go to him...
After all, she had just pointed a gun at someone's head and now wanted to get her bracelet back. She really couldn't do such a shameless thing.
Even though it's just a model gun, I still apologize...
Xiaoyi was silent for a long time, and said in an unclear tone:
[The host now has a bad news and a good news, do you want to hear it? 】
Hoshino Hitomi asked in confusion:
[Hmm? Go ahead.]
[The good news is that the four police officers in the capture target character have all shown an increased favorability towards the host]
[Furugaya Rei's current favorability towards the host is 95]
[Matsuda Jinpei's current favorability towards the host is 90]
[Kenji Hagiwara and Keimitsu Morobushi's favorability towards the host is 80, and they have obtained a total of 1500 points, and have obtained two chances to draw from the prize pool]
When Hoshino Hitomi heard this, she not only did not feel excited at all, but also felt very strange.
[The last time their favorability increased was when I rescued a truck driver with them, so why did it increase this time? And the favorability fluctuation this time was quite large.]
Xiaoyi was also somewhat puzzled:
[I don’t know either, but some time ago, the system headquarters accidentally messed up the time and space, causing four people to travel to the host’s previous life in their sleep. After the time and space were repaired, the four people returned safely. As for those four people, I think it is very likely that they are...]
Xiaoyi sighed and said in a dull tone:
[At first I wasn't sure if those four people were them, but later I found that the darkening values of all four of them increased, which almost confirmed my guess]
[Furiya Rei's darkening value: 60%]
[Zhu Fu Jingguang's blackening value: 50%]
[Matsuda Jinpei's darkening value: 45%]
[Kenji Hagiwara's darkening value: 40%]
[The host's situation is a bit dangerous at the moment. If the host does not stop them from turning evil, the consequences will be disastrous.]
[Especially the blackening value of Rei Furuya, which is close to the point of severe blackening. This is the bad news I was about to tell you.]
When Hoshino Hitomi heard this, she was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
She didn't have time to use her love to influence the three people who had already turned evil, but now two more people had turned evil, making the difficulty level directly hellish.
She didn't do anything, but why was she turned evil for no reason?
Oh no, there’s still Shuichi Akai who hasn’t turned evil yet.
But it seems to be almost done...
Hoshino Hitomi held her forehead and sighed:
[What on earth did they experience when they traveled through my past life? My blackness value immediately skyrocketed. Do you know how difficult it is for me to deal with this?]
And I wonder if her organization's identity has been exposed...
Xiaoyi laughed and said:
[They didn’t experience anything, they just accidentally witnessed the death of the host before leaving, so their dark value suddenly soared]
Xiaoyi noticed that Hoshino Hitomi's face was gradually darkening, and comforted her softly:
[However, if the host explains it to them, their blackened values should be reduced.]
Hoshino Hitomi: […………]
Her silence was deafening.
Hoshino Hitomi then shook her head and said calmly:
[Forget it, it won’t be too late to solve it later. Now let’s take a look at the things in the box.]
After saying that, Hitomi Hoshino opened the treasure chest with the key and found an old piece of letter paper inside.
Hoshino Hitomi picked up the letter inside and lowered her eyes to read it.
【Content of the letter】
To my descendants:
Anyone who can read this letter will know that you will be a better head of the Hoshino family than me.
When I write this letter, my eyes are no longer there, and I don’t have much time left. I will tell you everything I know.
When I was six years old, an adopted son was born in the family. He also became my younger brother. He was originally a child of the Karasuma family, but because of the war, his entire family was unfortunately wiped out. The Karasuma family and the Hoshino family were old friends, so the Hoshino family kindly adopted him.
With the support of the Hoshino family, he and I both successfully graduated from prestigious universities. I inherited the family business, and he planned to revive the Karasuma family.
This would have been considered a good thing, but his ambition grew stronger, and he eventually extended his claws to all of the Hoshino family's assets. Naturally, the Hoshino family reprimanded him.
Not long after, he completely broke off with the Hoshino family because of this incident.
At the beginning, the business he ran did not develop well. He went astray and engaged in human trafficking and some illegitimate businesses. Therefore, the business under his name developed temporarily, but the good times did not last long. He was later diagnosed with terminal cancer.
I don't know where he heard the rumor from, saying that if he could get the eyes of a direct descendant of the Hoshino family with super powers, he could prolong his life and cure his cancer.
Among the direct descendants of the Hoshino family, only a few have eyes that possess special powers, but my eyes have the ability to create illusions in people.
I am the only direct descendant of the Hoshino family whose eyes have supernatural powers. However, as the head of the Hoshino family, he cannot do anything to me easily, so he started planning to destroy the Hoshino family business a long time ago in order to threaten to take away my eyes.
He knew that his human and financial resources could not match the Hoshino family at that time, so he transferred his dark forces to Europe for development.
In just five years, the Karasuma Group under his name became the financially strongest in Japan, and it was at this time that his plan officially began to be implemented.
He first assassinated the members of the Hoshino family's side branches one by one, and then used various tricks to create the illusion of accidental death. Because Karasuma Renya's power was too great, even if the police collected some evidence, it would be destroyed silently.
In order to protect my people from further harm, I saved them at the cost of losing my eyes.
However, Karasuma Renya did not stop there. Instead, he went even further and planned to take over all the industries of the Hoshino family.
In order to prevent him from succeeding, all of the Hoshino family's businesses were announced to be bankrupt. After donating all of their assets, the Hoshino family also began to live in seclusion for a period of time, but it seemed that they still could not escape Karasuma Renya's hunt.
My dear descendant, I think you may have the same special power of eyes as I do, and your ability may even be better than mine. I believe that one day in the future you will be strong enough to compete with Karasuma Renya.
But please remember, don't be blinded by hatred, otherwise you will become the next him.
