It's not just inconspicuous, but a strange state of being ignored, as if having no sense of existence.
Kato Megumi was silent for a moment, then slowly told Luo Shu what had happened to her.
This state started very early, even before elementary school. Sometimes when my mother made lunch boxes, she only cooked lunch boxes for my father and sister, and forgot about myself in elementary school.
Sometimes she would be inexplicably overlooked in the class duty roster where everyone took turns. Throughout the entire semester, she was never assigned to clean the classroom.
Even when going out shopping with friends you know, you end up being alone for unknown reasons.
Kato Megumi had always believed that this state of being ignored was because she was too inconspicuous. After all, that was her daily life since she was a child. But after she came into contact with some mysterious knowledge from Yukinoshita Yukino and Luo Shu came alone in the evening, she realized the problem.
Could it be that, it wasn't that she was too inconspicuous, but that she was too special?
Moreover, apart from my family members who can remember me for a long time, other people, such as teachers and classmates at school, seem to be increasingly ignoring me?
Is this neglected ability becoming stronger and stronger?
"Theoretically, yes."
Luo Shu looked at the uneasy Kato Hui in front of him and comforted him:
"But it's not something to worry about too much."
"It is not uncommon for people to come into contact with Abyssal Items and accidentally absorb them, with the effects becoming more severe as they age."
"Among the military units directly under the Metropolitan Police Department, many families use this method to train new recruits."
"However, compared to their active enhancement capabilities, you are in a passive state."
According to the intelligence obtained by SDS, the "Chi" possessed by some members of the Metropolitan Police Department's military officials is similar to the Qigong in Luo Shu's impression, but its original source is that their ancestors came into contact with some dangerous abyss props, which led to a mutation in their blood, causing them and their descendants to have the ability to convert vitality into Qi.
Similarly, people like Sharon who come from the church also have the impression that they are baptized with church relics and thus master the holy power.
The case of the Kaminagi clan is even simpler. It is said that their ancestors reached a contract with the Elf King who controls fire, and thus received the protection of the elves. Generations of the family have possessed a natural ability to control fire.
There are many examples of people gaining superpowers by coming into contact with some high-level abyss props or entities.
And Kato Megumi seems to be no exception.
Passive mastery and active mastery? Kato Hui nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
“So the reason why the minister used this example to intimidate me was to show that he has the ability to help me solve the problem of my out-of-control abilities.”
"Cough cough!"
Luo Shu couldn't help coughing when he heard this, and then looked at Kato Megumi, who had no expression but looked like a little devil:
"Although it's essentially what you said, the word 'intimidation' is a bit too much, isn't it?"
"Then...warning?" Kato Megumi tilted her head, uncertainly.
"Almost almost."
Luo Shu responded perfunctorily, and quickly skipped the topic, shifting his gaze and saying:
"My original intention was to remind you that you have long been involved in the mysterious side-related incidents. The reason why you are still safe now is probably due to your ability to 'reduce your sense of presence'."
Kato Megumi suddenly realized: "Because the presence is too low, no one noticed it, so nothing happened?"
She had not yet read the documents arranged by Luo Shu, but she still understood her situation from the dangers that Luo Shu had described.
In the eyes of some evil organizations, people who come into contact with abyss props and accidentally gain abilities are equivalent to mobile abyss props. Whether they are used to train new people or for their own use, they can bring good benefits.
Her situation is like that of a child walking on the street holding gold, who is at risk of being killed at any time.
It's just that the gold in her hands had the function of reducing her presence in the past, so she was always safe and sound. But obviously, she couldn't always rely on this kind of "safety and soundness".
"So, from the beginning, I can only join the Secret Management Department?"
"It's not that you have to join us." Luo Shu shook his head: "I can only say that joining us is the best choice for you."
The best choice? Kato Hui chewed on this, then looked up at Luo Shu:
"Minister 660, do you know what the abyss item was that I accidentally came into contact with when I was a child?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu paused, looked at Kato Hui and said:
"This requires the use of some high-level abyssal props with divination capabilities. Once that thing is used, your secret will no longer be a secret to me. Can you accept this?"
Luo Shu vaguely explained the ability of the "Encyclopedia of Mysticism" and gave the choice to Kato Megumi.
He could have directly divined Kato Megumi, but such private matters could not be made public, so he certainly would not say something like "I have already checked you".
In response, Kato Hui seemed to have noticed something and nodded:
"I can accept this result."
After he finished speaking, Luo Shu pondered for a moment. His black eyes gradually lost their luster and emotions. They became cold and aloof.
He directly used the divination from the Encyclopedia of Mysticism again, and this time, because of his contact and permission from Kato Megumi, he saw more.
He saw directly that Kato Megumi, who was still lying in the crib, was suddenly poured with transparent "flames".
According to the divination in the Encyclopedia of Mysticism, the transparent flame seemed to be the remaining blood of a "Red World Demon King" who died across the border.
After seeing this scene, Luo Shu fell silent.
Here, how come a Red World Devil appeared?!!.
Chapter 26 The Power of Taboo
The Red Devil.
It is from the anime Shakugan no Shanari, a terrifying life form that descended from another world.
They feed on the concept of 'existence' and can easily devour human existence.
The existence of the humans they devour will be forgotten by the world, and they will become as if they had never appeared in the world.
Luo Shu really couldn't understand how Kato Hui could accidentally encounter a dead Red World Demon King and be splashed with his blood.
When he was fortune-telling before, because his relationship with Kato Megumi was not deep, he just used the encyclopedia of mysticism to find out that Kato Megumi had come into contact with the blood of some powerful life form.
And now, because of Kato Megumi's verbal permission and Luo Shu being in Kato Megumi's room and being exposed to too many related things, causing the mystical connection to deepen, Luo Shu saw a clearer picture.
This made him feel like complaining a lot.
Although he had long known that it was not surprising for all kinds of strange races to appear in this world after the arrival of the abyss, the Red World Demon King still shocked Luo Shu.
But please don’t let some weird things like Super Saiyan, or the Gods of the Little Garden, or Cthulhu appear in a few days, the world will not be able to bear it.
After complaining a few times in his heart, Luo Shu coughed dryly and explained her situation to Kato Hui, who was full of curiosity:
"When you were a child, probably an infant, you accidentally came into contact with the blood of a special race called 'Red World Disciples' and thus acquired some of their basic abilities."
"And the basic ability of the Red World disciples is to manipulate the concept of 'existence'."
"Let me give you an example."
Luo Shu raised his hand and grabbed Kato Megumi's hand. Kato Megumi's hand was very soft and a little cold, but what Luo Shu cared about now was not this, but the other party's identity.
——Absorb the disaster!
Luo Shu activated his ability and absorbed the "disaster" that had disappeared from Kato Megumi's body.
Originally, Luo Shu thought that the symptom of low sense of presence should not be able to be absorbed, but this time he succeeded easily.
It seems that the disappearance of existence caused by the indirect influence of the Red World is also a disaster for humans... As Luo Shu thought about this, he raised his head and saw Kato Megumi's eyes blinking.
"What's wrong with your eyes? Is there dust in them?" Luo Shu asked curiously.
At this time, Kato Hui tightened her face, tried to control her expression, and asked:
"Minister, my hand is not called 'example'."
Give me an example, why did you keep holding my hand? Luo Shu seemed to hear Kato Hui's question.
Oh, the disaster of low presence seems to have been absorbed, and nothing seems to have happened on the surface... Realizing this, Luo Shu said calmly:
"My ability is to 'absorb the suffering of others from a conceptual point of view', and just now, I was absorbing the disaster of 'low sense of existence' from you."
"Oh!!" Kato Megumi had an expression that said, 'The minister is trying hard to cover up his lies, and I have to cooperate with him.'
The corners of Luo Shu's mouth twitched a few times, then he reached out and grabbed the pillow that Kato Megumi had placed on the bed. It seemed to be a doll called "Hamtaro".
"The disasters absorbed by me can be transferred to other things."
To bestow disasters upon dead objects is the ability Luo Shu gained after he was promoted to the Disaster Priest.
And now, he bestowed the disaster on Hamtaro in his hand.
Kato Megumi only felt her eyes blurred, and the pillow she had been using for a long time disappeared from Luo Shu's hand.
For a moment, Kato Megumi was stunned.
At this time, Luo Shu calmly sat on Kato Hui's bed and said with a smile:
"Because you are the one affected by the power of existence, you should still have an impression of the pillow. If you want to test it, you'd better ask your family."
Hearing this, Kato Hui thought about it, took out her cell phone decisively, and called her sister:
"Sister, do you remember where you put the Hamtaro doll we bought together at the temple fair last New Year's Day? I can't find it."
After the words fell, a confused female voice came from the phone:
"A doll bought together at the temple fair? No, didn't you say you didn't want one? So at that time, I only bought one!"
"Oh, I see. I guess I remembered it wrong. Sorry."
Kato Megumi calmly hung up the phone, then stared at Luo Shu blankly.
Just when Luo Shu thought the girl was too shocked, Kato Hui suddenly said:
"Bushi, can you give Hamtaro back to me?"
The doll that she had been holding for a year was suddenly gone. Kato Megumi still wanted to get it back. Of course, if it didn't work, then she could only give up. After all, she was the one who asked Luo Shu for help.
"can."
Luo Shu waved his hand, and the doll reappeared in his hand. He handed it to Kato Megumi, who quickly took it and hugged it tightly, feeling the feeling of regaining what she had lost.
Then, Luo Shu frowned and said seriously:
"Just now, when I gave it the power of 'disappearance', I didn't use this power to its limit and make the doll disappear completely, so it is possible to recover."
"Well, at the moment, it seems that the method of disappearance is too dangerous. It can even be said to be an instant death ability. Moreover, this ability has a high backlash and will affect one's own existence. So if it is not necessary, I do not recommend using it casually."
Directly eliminating the enemy's existence will trigger a horrific chain reaction.
A person's existence in this world affects all aspects.
The people he came into contact with, the things he touched, the things he changed, the things he influenced, all these things disappeared with the existence of a single person, thus triggering a collapse-like reaction.
".' To some extent, this power can be said to be a forbidden power."
Of course, it is still impossible to deal with demigods. After all, demigods already master this kind of conceptual attack techniques... Luo Shu added some more in his mind.
But even so, Kato Megumi has mastered a method that will bring death to anyone below the level of a demigod.
Thinking of this, Luo Shu couldn't help but look at Kato Megumi with a strange look.
Well, it has a very low presence, can easily sneak into any place without being noticed, and at the same time possesses the terrifying ability of instant death.
So, you are the Grand Assassin, right?
At this time, Kato Megumi, who was holding the doll, said in confusion:
"So, I have a low sense of existence because I cannot master this so-called 'power of existence'?"
(Hello, Wang Wang) "That's about it." Luo Shu observed a moment of silence for a few seconds for the unknown Red World Demon King.
It seemed that the opponent wanted to land in this world, but because he was too strong, he was stuck in the gap of the world and died, which "benefited" Kato Megumi.
This experience was tragic.
A powerful life form that was born with the power of concepts and was immortal could be considered a demigod at least, but he ended up dying. It was really tragic.
At this time, Kato Hui hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice:
