Cherreads

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Dusk Street - Aponia, Stage Cleared!

"But before we negotiate, I want to ask a question."

Sakura looked around the room strangely.

She only saw Aponia, and only felt Aponia, but why did she always feel a little uneasy behind her?

"Excuse me."

"Uh..." When it came time to ask, Sakura was a little lost.

You can't just ask, "Is there something weird in your house?"

Even if the other person is an ordinary person with no power, she is still a nun, and this kind of question always feels like a curse.

Considering the transaction between the two, Sakura hesitated and looked at the table with fruit.

"Who do you worship with your sacrifice?"

Aside from the rude question, what piqued Sakura's curiosity the most was the sacrifice in the nun's bedroom.

"I don't worship, but offer a gift, a gift to my guardian angel."

Aponia tilted her head with a pious look.

"...Strange priest," Sakura thought for a moment and realized she didn't quite understand the priest's thought process.

"Let's talk about the content of your transaction... oh."

Sakura let out a small exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Aponia tilted her head. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Sakura touched her ears. "It has nothing to do with my body... probably."

She felt like someone had pinched the fox ears on her head.

For Sakura, the fox ears on her head were as sensitive as human ears. No one had ever pinched her ears before, and she felt a faint current flowing through her body at that moment.

Sakura couldn't tell if it was pleasure or pain.

It must be that there's more dust in the house.

Sakura took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and took out the Fire Moth communicator.

"Ahem, Miss Sister, let's talk about the content of the transaction. The higher-ups will consider your conditions."

Aponia couldn't help but look serious when she saw Sakura take out the communicator.

"My conditions are very simple. I hope Fire Moth can take care of and ensure the safety of the children in this nursing home."

At the end, Aponia frowned.

"Impossible."

Sakura refused without hesitation.

"Each of these infection sources is a time bomb for global security, and the higher-ups will never accept this condition."

"Then someone will take them to escape... Miss Sakura, you don't want to see the patients leave Dusk Street, do you?"

"..." Sakura was speechless; that's what she said, but why did she feel strange?

"It depends on what the high command thinks."

"No, I agree."

A cold female voice came from the communicator.

"Doctor Mei?" Sakura looked at the communicator in her hand in surprise.

The female voice on the communicator ignored Sakura's surprise and continued, "Just now, Mobius and I proposed and passed a new round of Honkai research, and we urgently need some Honkai patients. Sakura, hand the communicator to the lady, I have something to discuss with her."

"Yes... uh!"

Just as Sakura was about to hand over the communicator, she suddenly felt her ear pinched again.

Although the sensation is normal, the girl's cute and surprised voice is the essence.

Tian Shi withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

At this moment, the system loaded a new notification:

[Simulation completed, Dusk Street Aponia plot segment cleared, Aponia's adjustment is +50%]

The figures of the cherry-haired swordswoman and the blonde nun blurred before Tian Shi's eyes and were replaced by the maid sitting on a chair with a thermometer.

[Simulation Rating: S (highest rating, flawless action, although this is just a beginner simulation)]

[Final Adjustment: 120%]

Good system, adjustment can be greater than 100?

[You gain 3 skill points]

[You can choose one of the following skills:]

[1. Theology Level 7 (your theological knowledge is sufficient to start a new religion from the church)]

[2. Persuasion Level 8 (your words and actions have compelling magic)]

[3. Nursing Level 4 (you are an excellent nurse)]

[4. Nun Iv 10 (Are you sure you, a great man behind the spirit, want to change careers to become a nun?)]

[5. Guardian Angel Level 1 (Can compensate for fatal damage to your host once a day and can have subtle spiritual communication with the host)]

Tian Shi realized at a glance: I'm afraid these skills are not what Aponia, a nun, possesses.

If it were Aponia, one of the Thirteen Heroes, what might be placed before her would be something like commandments.

However, Tian Shi is not stingy. There will definitely be an opportunity to simulate in the future. Dusk Street is just around the corner.

Tian Shi only read it once and fell in love with the "Guardian Angel" skill, or, in other words, the explanation behind "can carry out subtle spiritual exchanges."

What worries him the most is how to let his host know of his existence; not everyone is Aponia, and even if he uses more violent means, she won't get angry.

If it were someone else, like Rita, who was now holding a thermometer in front of him.

If he went up and pinched her face, patted her head, and shook her hand, Rita's attack would have been a mad dash, and her first action would have been to stabilize first and then ask Otto to study himself.

But, again, can I be studied?

Thinking about this question, Tian Shi couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

If he is related to Honkai, Sakura definitely could have found him; if he has something to do with electromagnetic waves... he can interfere with electrical appliances.

It seems I am really the kind of spirit that is behind the scenes...
