Chapter 562: The Treatment and the Mission

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When he saw the reward for the mission, Zhao Yao was actually quite happy. When he saw the punishment, however, he became enraged immediately.

It had been a long time since the missions in the Book had given Zhao Yao a punishment. After all, given Zhao Yao’s speculation that the Book was based on him, all the missions and systems it designed should have been based on his experience, character, consciousness, and so on.

Under normal circumstances, the Book should not give any punishment to Zhao Yao.

But the punishment given here...

“D*mn it, does this mean I feel really guilty subconsciously?” Zhao Yao stroked his chin. “Fine, I do feel a tiny bit of guilt, but isn’t this punishment too harsh?”

Looking around the blood-stained house, Zhao Yao swore to himself that he never wanted to experience mutilation addiction. He glared menacingly at Kappei Hattori who was on the floor and thought of killing him right there and then.

“Hmph!” Zhao Yao exhaled heavily, suppressing the rashness in his heart. “Let’s try to see if I can treat him first.”

At the same time, the supercats around Zhao Yao were dumbstruck by the sight of the house before them.

Ares: “Humans are really scary. This is too depraved. What if Lucifer turns out like this next time?”

Footsteps could be heard from afar. They belonged to Aoyama Hattori, Kappei Hattori’s father, who rushed over after being informed by a servant.

Zhao Yao walked out to take a look. His eyes gleamed as he thought, “I can’t let them ruin my plans.” Hence, with the lift of a finger, the whole house became clean. Kappei Hattori sat peacefully behind the table and playing computer games.”

When Aoyama Hattori walked in and saw this, he glared viciously at the servant beside him.

The servant was astonished, “But... but it wasn’t like this just now, it really wasn’t...”

With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards beside Aoyama Hattori had already dragged the servant away.

He walked over to Kappei Hattori and asked in a kind voice, “Kappei, are you alright?” Aoyama Hattori knew how much his son suffered, and was very worried that the accident had traumatised him. Ever since Kappei Hattori was discharged from the hospital, he became very concerned about his son.

Pretending to be Kappei Hattori, Zhao Yao quickly pacified Aoyama Hattori and chased him away.

He stared at Kappei Hattori lying on the floor and decided to treat him.

“Hmm, let’s try using the power of illusion first.” Zhao Yao thought for a bit then decided to cast the Sixth Sense illusion, making the body lie still.

He watched as Kappei Hattori lay quietly on the floor after completing his super-regeneration, and did not do anything else.

“Next...” Zhao Yao removed the illusion. Kappei Hattori raised his hand and pointed the knife downwards, about to do something scary.

Zhao Yao’s eyes immediately flashed red and controlled him, as he sighed to himself, “If a superpower like the power of illusion can’t treat him despite having an extended time effect, even if Old Cat brainwashed him, it would only last for a day.”

Though he knew that he could not completely treat him, Zhao Yao still got Old Cat to help him translate, “Kappei Hattori, you can’t continue with this depravity.”

Kappei Hattori was confused for a moment, “Who are you? Are you controlling me?”

Zhao Yao said, “I am your conscience. You can’t continue on like this, or you will end up killing yourself and bring shame to the Hattori family.”

“I...” a hint of confusion flashed across Kappei Hattori’s eyes, turning into agony in the next moment, “But I can’t help it, I really can’t. That feeling is too alluring, too tempting. There’s no use. Ever since last night when I first mutilated myself, there’s no turning back for me.”

Zhao Yao said encouragingly, “You have to overcome that feeling. You can definitely quit this addiction!”

“No, if I don’t mutilate myself, I will feel as though thousands of ants are crawling all over my body. It would be unbearable.”

Hearing his words, Dust Ball looked as if she understood him and suddenly jumped onto Kappei Hattori’s shoulder, putting a big bag of catmint in front of him and said, “You can try eating this bag of catmint.”

Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and grabbed Dust Ball over, “Is this the time to promote your catmint? Stop moving around.”

After scolding Dust Ball, Zhao Yao continued talking to Kappei Hattori through Old Cat and planted the notion of avoiding self-harm in his head in no time.

However, even with Old Cat’s brainwashing ability, the effects would only last for a day.

Hence, Zhao Yao continued to stroke his chin and thought of other solutions. He stared at Kappei Hattori, who was no longer trying to hurt himself even though he was no longer under Zhao Yao’s control.

“Maybe we can replace this addiction with a different one?” Zhao Yao thought as he continued stroking his chin, “What is the hottest trending game in Japan right now?”

“I think it’s fatego?”

Zhao Yao thought for a moment and made Old Cat plant another instruction in the man’s mind. For the next day, Kappei Hattori was to finish watching the whole Fate anime and proceed to play fatego afterward.

Looking at Kappei Hattori who began to focus on watching anime, Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief, “Let it be like this for now. There’s still one week before the wedding, if I can’t treat you by then, I will have no choice but to stop the wedding from happening.”

Right at this moment, Zhao Yao’s ears twitched. He heard footsteps coming from afar. It was Kaede Hattori, Kappei Hattori’s brother rushing over.

“He came just in time.”

The power of illusion was activated.

...

Kaede Hattori knocked on the door and walked in to see Kappei Hattori playing computer games, while Mr. Yamada was sitting at the side.

He frowned a little and said, “Yamada, what brings you here? Have you found out anything about the criminal?”

Kappei Hattori immediately said, “Brother, recently Officer Yamada has been helping me to investigate the case of my attacker and did not sleep for many nights because of this.”

Kaede Hattori’s gaze softened slightly and said, “Mr. Yamada, did you manage to find anything about the case?”

Zhao Yao stood up immediately and reported everything he knew to Kaede Hattori, especially regarding Cannon’s abilities, Bai Quan’s identity and the consequent meeting that day. Zhao Yao decided to complete the mission first to see if he could take on a new mission. If that did not work out, he would just have to erase his memories.

Kaede Hattori narrowed his eyes, “There’s actually such a power? Send the report to me later, I want to analyze it carefully.”

Although Kaede Hattori needed further confirmation, Zhao Yao had already completed the Criminal Diao Bao mission, earning him 3000*2 experience points directly. His panel became: Book: Level 6 (28202/20000).

At this moment, Kappei Hattori said again, “What was the reason behind Kappei’s speedy recovery? Have you found anything about that?”

Kappei Hattori’s injuries were so severe that even the best doctors in Japan could not cure him, yet he miraculously recovered overnight. It was impossible for Kaede Hattori and his family not to suspect anything.

Zhao Yao was only heard saying, “I haven’t found much about this yet.”

“Continue to investigate this, I’m very sure it has something to do with superpowers.”

Zhao Yao asked again, “Inspector, do you have any other instructions?”

Kaede Hattori glanced at Zhao Yao and said to him, “Come with me.”

Zhao Yao’s eyes brightened and he thought to himself, “Interesting, does this mean I can finally take on the mission from the burning exclamation mark?”
