I’m the Villain, but My Boyfriend’s a Superhero! – Chapter 265

Chapter 265 Blood Sacrifice

“Lord Sakuraba, please have some tea.”

In the dilapidated and barren living room of the Shimizu family, a young girl in casual clothes came out of the kitchen holding a steaming cup of tea. Beneath her plain expression was a deep respect for the person sitting in the living room.

“Thank you, but there’s no need to be so formal. I’m not here to discuss anything particularly important. Kurokawa should have told you about it, right?”

The tall young man sitting on the sofa narrowed his eyes as he accepted the tea from Kazumi. He didn’t mind that it was cheap, ordinary tea. After taking a sip, he leaned back in his chair and looked at the girl beside him.

“Yes, Lord Kurokawa has informed me about the next mission. I will follow all your instructions.”

Kazumi nodded and obediently sat on the opposite sofa, answering with a serious expression.

“Ah, I told you not to be so formal…”

Seeing the girl’s serious demeanor, Masashi Sakuraba rubbed his hair with a hint of helplessness. He then picked up a snack from the table, tore open a bag, and began to eat, continuing to speak to Kazumi.

“I don’t know where a child like you learned such manners. Our organization doesn’t have the strict rules and hierarchical relationships of a bureaucratic system. We generally rely on strength, and we don’t have so many restrictive systems.”

“With your strength, Lord Sakuraba, it is only right to respect you.”

“…”

Masashi Sakuraba was momentarily speechless, refuted by the girl’s high-EQ flattery. Looking at Kazumi’s matter-of-fact expression, he could only stuff the entire bag of snacks into his mouth and casually flick the wrapper into the trash can nearby.

“Eh, let’s not talk about it anymore. If I keep talking, I’ll turn into a monster who bullies little girls.”

With a sigh, Masashi Sakuraba didn’t pay too much attention to the girl’s attitude anymore. After all, everyone who joined this organization had some issues and flaws. But overall, as long as it didn’t affect their strength, it was fine.

After all, he himself wasn’t exactly a normal person.

He snapped his fingers, and a purple energy fluctuation gathered around them. Then, a giant snake head, more than half a meter wide, emerged from a pale purple magic array. Its lantern-like, pale yellow snake eyes stared quietly at Kazumi beside it, its red tongue flicking incessantly.

“I remember you applied for supplies from Kurokawa, right? I happened to be coming to see you, so I brought them along.”

“Yes, thank you, Lord Sakuraba.”

Seeing the giant snake head that suddenly appeared beside her, the girl’s pupils contracted involuntarily, but she quickly calmed herself down. No matter what, Masashi Sakuraba, who was now of the same faction, had no reason to attack her.

The skull phantom on her wrist appeared, and a giant coffin exuding a corrupt aura also appeared horizontally in the air of the living room.

“Well, should I just dump it in like this? There are still quite a few things inside. Kazumi, you take it easy. If you make any noise, your current identity might not be safe.”

Masashi Sakuraba knew about the girl’s abilities. This coffin, exuding a death aura, seemed to have some spatial abilities. But no matter how talented she was, the girl had only possessed her abilities for less than a month. Meanwhile, the giant viper controlled by him had swallowed a considerable amount of things.

This was the home that served as the girl’s other apparent identity. If her abilities were to be exposed, she would easily be targeted by heroes. Masashi Sakuraba didn’t want the girl to abandon her original life because of his carelessness.

After all, in pursuit of power, he had given up many things, or even everything. Therefore, he didn’t want to see the girl embark on a similar path to his own, even though she was destined to do so.

“Don’t worry, Lord Sakuraba. Black Coffin has enough storage.”

Kazumi nodded and replied neither servile nor overbearing.

“So it’s called Black Coffin?”

Hearing Kazumi’s confident tone, Masashi Sakuraba no longer had any extra worries. With a flash of spiritual energy, the giant snake lowered its head. Its already massive jaws dislocated as it opened them towards the black coffin revealing a black vortex below. Then, a multitude of materials of various colors were spewed out from the snake’s throat like vomiting.

“But I’m quite curious about what your ability is. Wood and stone stained with death aura, tombstones and burial artifacts, and a large number of corpses. Is it some kind of Yin-Yang Taoist sorcery? Or a pure corpse-refining school?”

Estimating that it would take some time for the giant viper to transfer everything, Masashi Sakuraba took out the list he grabbed from headquarters and asked Kazumi earnestly.

“Well, if I had to say, it’s probably exchanging sacrificial materials for summoned creatures from the underworld?”

Hearing Masashi Sakuraba’s terminology, which sounded like Taoist sorcery from a past life, Kazumi scratched her head and gave a slightly vague answer.

“That’s right. Your ability awakened after consuming [Darkness], so it’s likely that the energy system is the same as evil energy.”

“However… Kazumi, you should be careful when using the corpses of the deceased wantonly.”

Nodding in agreement, Masashi Sakuraba realized he had been negligent. Although the energy was the same, the ability awakened by oneself and the spiritual energy cultivated by oneself were completely different in terms of their systems. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for the girl to be unable to answer his question.

“Please guide me, Lord Sakuraba.”

Hearing Masashi Sakuraba proactively lead the conversation here, Kazumi mustered all her attention, wanting to hear if her ability still had other flaws and drawbacks. After all, guidance from an experienced ability user would always be more efficient than fumbling around blindly.

“All in all, the Heroes Association isn’t as monolithic as it seems, especially the new heroes nowadays. They all have their own interests in mind to some extent. Coupled with the aging of the older heroes, this is why our activities have become more frequent in recent years.”

“But no matter what, the public is always the bottom line for those damn guys.”

As if thinking of something unpleasant, Masashi Sakuraba’s expression turned somewhat fierce.

“To some extent, they can’t fully arrest us because of their own reasons or concerns. But if you dare to slaughter civilians wantonly, and especially in Kyoto, you’ll basically encounter that old guy known as the ‘Number One Hero’ first.”

“…”

Masashi Sakuraba’s words were serious, like a senior’s advice to a junior, or like recounting a story he had experienced. But no matter how it was said, it was like a resounding slap to Kazumi’s mind, striking a warning bell again.

Indeed, no wonder even the [Dark] Organization was so cautious about her request for flesh and blood materials. It wasn’t that they, as a villain organization, adhered to any moral or legal code and were unwilling to kill civilians. It was that the benefits of such actions were far lower than the losses.

Although it was a dirty political cat-and-mouse game, both the cat and the mouse had their own demands and purposes!

The Heroes Association might need time to deal with various issues arising from the generational change of heroes, and the organization was taking this opportunity to develop and enhance its power and harvest. But the line that was tacitly understood by both parties was the safety of the public.

Perhaps the Association could tolerate various small movements in the dark because it had its own problems to solve. But if civilians were slaughtered wantonly, then that person would become the primary problem for the heroes to deal with.

And within Kyoto City, it meant that the hero who wielded thunder could instantly arrive at any location within a few breaths. As for what the Number One Hero’s thunder tasted like? Kazumi had no interest in experiencing it.

Patting her chest with a sense of lingering fear, inspired by Masashi Sakuraba, Kazumi realized how dangerous her previous actions were.

At that moment, feeling a living life dissipate in her hands, the girl had indeed felt a flicker of desire to slaughter wantonly, but it was ultimately suppressed by Kazumi’s inner caution.

And if she had done so, her transmigration journey might have already ended?

Seeing Kazumi lost in thought, Masashi Sakuraba on the side showed a playful expression. The giant viper’s spitting also concluded, and under Masashi Sakuraba’s control, it turned into a patch of purple light spots and dissipated into the air.

The young man lightly clapped his hands, his unique charming tone replacing the previous lazy one, resonating in the living room. It was as if the matter he was about to discuss was the ultimate purpose of his visit to find the girl.

“This is also why I came to find you. For this mission, I think you should have a choice. After all, I’m not like Kurokawa, who doesn’t care about the lives of his subordinates.”

“Choice?”

Masashi Sakuraba’s serious tone interrupted the girl’s thoughts. Kazumi looked up and looked at him with confusion.

“That’s right.”

Nodding playfully, Masashi Sakuraba gently extended his right hand, and pale purple evil energy quickly gathered in his palm, eventually forming a planar map of Kyoto City.

The original perspective continuously zoomed in, finally revealing a scene of a bustling urban area, and below it, a recondite and profound red magic array.

“The target this time is the Ritsuha District, specifically everyone in the northern part of the city.”

“And the purpose of the mission is…”

“Blood Sacrifice!”
