Chapter 027: Born Killer

A few minutes later, a long-haired woman carrying a wooden sword rushed up to the rooftop.

Not long ago, the surviving students and teachers had learned of the anomaly on the school rooftop, but they were all too afraid to come up.

Only she, Saeko Busujima, a third-year high school student at Private Fujimi Gakuen and captain of the kendo club, was willing to come up and investigate.

Because she really wanted to know who had triggered this anomaly.

More importantly, her intuition told her that in this anomaly, she could completely liberate herself.

So she came to the rooftop.

She saw a man and a woman standing on the rooftop.

The woman wore a bold, avant-garde maid outfit with minimal fabric, surrounded by golden specks of light, identical to the demon in the sky.

But the man in casual clothes casually surveyed his surroundings, without any golden specks of light, looking like an ordinary human. However, when his gaze swept over her, Saeko Busujima felt a heavy pressure.

In Saeko Busujima's heart, the strongest human was undoubtedly her father.

The head of the Busujima style.

Every move that man made exuded the demeanor of a martial artist, putting immense pressure on her as a child.

She clearly remembered the first time she picked up a weapon, deciding to live her life as a daughter of a martial arts family rather than follow the path of a young lady—her father gave her a pressure as heavy as a mountain.

It was a terrifying pressure that made it hard to breathe.

She had never forgotten her father's expression and the pressure from that day.

But today, Saeko Busujima felt a pressure far exceeding her father's from another man.

His eyes held no aggression or malice, but were rather indifferent. Yet for some reason, just seeing those eyes made Saeko Busujima suffocate.

Her body trembled, her cells screamed, and the deepest fear within humans burst forth in an instant.

For a moment, Saeko Busujima could barely stand and nearly fell to the ground, but she reacted quickly, using her wooden sword to support herself and prevent a fall.

Wang Bo let out a soft exclamation and looked up and down at the long-haired woman before him.

In fact, he had recognized her when she came upstairs.

She was one of the heroines of Highschool of the Dead.

Saeko Busujima.

This woman was a pervert. In junior high, Saeko Busujima was once assaulted by a pervert on her way home from school. Because she carried a wooden sword, she deliberately let the pervert approach her, then severely injured him with the sword, breaking his leg and shoulder blade—it was actually excessive self-defense.

But considering the situation—a junior high girl fighting a pervert—the police naturally did not pursue charges against Busujima and drove her home.

After this incident, Busujima realized she had a strong tendency toward violence. When she struck that pervert, she felt great joy and excitement.

In her battles with the "corpses," she confirmed this again: killing brought her immense pleasure.

In other words, she was a born killer.

But in the peaceful era of modern society, this personality was forcibly suppressed.

If placed in ancient times, she might have long fallen into the so-called path of Asura.

However, what made Wang Bo remember this woman was not her born-killer personality, but a scene in the plot where a bullet passed through her plump chest. It was because of that scene that Wang Bo remembered her.

Although that scene was completely absurd in reality, it didn't stop Wang Bo from shouting excitedly when he watched the plot back then, since at that time Wang Bo was just an ordinary person.

But later, Wang Bo forgot about this woman.

After all, isn't it normal for an otaku to change his waifu every three months?

So now, even meeting her in person, Wang Bo could treat her with a normal attitude. However, Saeko Busujima's reaction just now did surprise Wang Bo a bit.

With Wang Bo's current strength, if he released his aura, ordinary people wouldn't even qualify to stand before him.

But now, Wang Bo did not release his aura; instead, he restrained it.

He appeared like an ordinary person, without any dazzling qualities.

When ordinary people saw Wang Bo, they would think he was just an ordinary person, no different from anyone else.

But when Saeko Busujima saw Wang Bo, she perceived his uniqueness, glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of his power, and felt his pressure, which is why she almost fell.

This was not normal.

This was very abnormal.

How could a normal girl have such keen senses? Was it because Saeko Busujima was a pervert, a born killer, that she saw Wang Bo's uniqueness?

Wang Bo became serious and quickly saw the uniqueness of this girl named Saeko Busujima.

A born killer, extremely sensitive mentally—in other words, her sixth sense was naturally stronger than ordinary people's, allowing her to sense the tip of the iceberg of Wang Bo's power.

But that was all. Without a method of cultivation, in this world where the supernatural was not apparent, this girl could never take the most critical step to master supernatural power.

Among Earth's billions of people, there were plenty with naturally strong mental power.

She was not unique.

Wang Bo withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to her.

Saeko Busujima took several deep breaths to suppress her fear and slowly asked, "Sir, who exactly are you?"

Wang Bo took out the Dimensional Gate, placed it on the rooftop, locked onto the Central Continent world, pushed open the door, and walked in.

"If you want to know, come and see for yourself."

If she had the courage to take this step, Wang Bo wouldn't mind taking on another subordinate.

Saeko Busujima watched Wang Bo disappear through the door. After hesitating repeatedly, she finally decided to follow, resolutely charging into the Dimensional Gate.

Neither Malthus in the sky nor Caroline beside her stopped her.

Saeko Busujima rushed through the Dimensional Gate, and the scene before her suddenly changed from the rooftop to a treasure room piled high with gold coins and gems.

For a moment, she couldn't help but gasp.

As the heir of the Busujima style, she was not short of money and was not greedy for it. In her eyes, money was something that came and went with life and death; enough was sufficient.

But when countless gold coins and gems piled up before her, even Saeko Busujima, who considered herself not greedy for money, couldn't help but breathe more heavily.

Humanity's pursuit of money has never changed from ancient times to the present; it is a nature etched into the genes. And this nature has not been erased even to this day.
