X-ray Is More Than I Thought Chapter 82

Chapter 82

「It’s completely occult now」

It’s too late with the case of the insect user now but I instinctively muttered while looking at the right arm of the insect user.

Rikka and I went back home but I decided to negotiate with the insect user to counter Kamuro Hizuki immediately.

Perhaps, she’ll eat everything.

When I say that, I took out the right arm of the insect user from the parts from the black plastic bag Rikka brought.

As if just the right arm is alive.

「Just what principle does it use? Even if I use my ability, I can’t understand it. Even though blood circulation is impossible」

Her arm being separated obviously means that her blood vessels are also separated, so her arms should be in necrosis state. And yet, the insect user’s right arm is still fresh like it’s alive.

This is no longer human.

When I looked in the mind of the insect user, she only knows that she’s contracted to a wonderful insect that made her invulnerable, she doesn’t know the reason at all.

「According to the insect user, the insect living in her womb seems to be the source of her power. Then there’s three insects a.s.sisting that somehow」

There’s a total of four insects that maintain her immortality. The insect on the womb is the center

「This one?」

I took out the lower body from the plastic bag and looked inside the womb.

It’s rounded like a fetus inside the womb swelling more than usual.

But, the insect is alive.

「I’ll lose if I stick to common sense I guess?」

No choice but to think that way.

Her body structure looks like they’re the same as humans but it’s completely different actually.,

In exchange, the insect user will follow the same path if the insect in her womb dies.

Even if a problem occurs on either insect, the remaining insects will reproduce.

But when I destroy the weak points of the insects I found, perhaps the insects under the rule of the user will leave. Then, the insect user will die.

「Hmmmm, I see. We can do something about this」

I mutter while looking at the p.u.s.s.y of the insect user.

As of now, the head and upper body of the insect user is still inside the black plastic bag.

She’s afraid of death that she keeps silent so I won’t get be displeased.

It’s possible to enslave the insect user in her current state.

Though I know her weak points, suppose a small insect is buried in my body and sealed my movement, that would be troublesome. Therefore, I’d like to be in a state where I can destroy the weak point of the insect user anytime.
With that saidー

「If it’s possible for her to live even if she’s dismembered, it means that we only have to separate her weak points.

That’s the conclusion I’ve reached.

There’s no problem with her arms or feet but it’s possible that the insect user dies if her weak points separate from her.
What will happen if I separate the weak point? The insect user doesn’t know it herself so it’ll become a roll of dice.

「Well fine. She lived as she want until now, killed humans like they’re garbage and roll them on her examination table. She should have the resolution that it’ll be her turn someday」

Muttering so, the plastic bag made a sound then I hear a crying sound from the inside.

I’m sure those who she killed didn’t want to die. There must be those who begged for their lives.

You had fun doing that didn’t you? Then you should steel yourself as your turn will come.

「Don’t worry. If I think you’ll be useful, then I’ll do my best so you won’t get killed. For now」

Talking towards the plastic bag, I hear the cry growing bigger.

Or rather, if it wasn’t for Kamuro Hizuki, I’d destroy her weak point right now.
That’s how much I hate this one.

Returning the part of the insect user on the black plastic bag, I go to the bathroom with it.

The bleeding has completely stopped, her pale skin is dirty with blood.

「P-Please. I-I will really do anything, please, don’t kill me…」

The insect user whose both arms and lower half is separate from her body desperately pleads for her life in tears while looking like a daruma.

It’s admiring in some sense.

「If you’re useful to me then I’ll let you live for a bit longer」

Holding the knife I brought with me, I look down at the daruma inset user then point the knife on the weak point inside the separate part.

The insect user trembles in tears, she didn’t show any resistance.

Also, even if she uses insects, it’s impossible to slip through my eyes, she’ll definitely die this time if she resists.
She can’t resist even if she wants to.

When I look at the separated internal organ, I thought.

It’s a part that’s different from normal people after all.
But, the insect user doesn’t know it herself. Even as a bluff, it has enough effect.

「As expected, you’re not die even when it’s separated」

I asked the insect user while packing the separated internal organ to a plastic container.

Therefore, I just separate only one part.

「P-Perhaps, perhaps it’s related to distance. T-Therefore, I-I’d like that to be near me if possible…

The daruma lying on the tiles pleads with a shaking voice.

No, rather than her torso, should I think that it’s related to the insect living in her womb?

As expected, it’s versatile.

Obtaining a material to threaten the insect user by securing a weak point, I decided to return the chopped body of the insect user to whole.

When I tried sticking her arm in to her torso, it sticks in easily.

Though I obtained a material used for threatening, I’ll never let down my guard.

But still, this defragmented loli is more interesting than she looks. She’s much more loli than Lolihina, furthermore, she’s a complete washboard.

It’s almost the same as Lolihina. She’s too much of a brat that it won’t even move a finger.

Though the insect user’s accurate age is vague, when I peeked at her mind, it turns out she’s 27 years old.

In the first place, I don’t have the intention to stick my d.i.c.k inside this one.

I took the shower then sprinkled hot water on her head to wash the blood.
When I sprinkled hot water, the insect user got clean to some degree.

「You said about distance but how far is the safe distance?」

Asking her, I take a look at her mind.

Butー

「I-I don’t know that much. When I made contract with the insect in my womb, it had a restriction of never parting away. T-Therefore, I don’t know the clear distance. I-In the first place, I never planned to separate that」

The insect user answered vaguely with her shaking voice.

Apart from the weak point I cut out, I found a new weak point.

「Y-You, just who on earth are you?」

The insect user asks while trembling.

Or rather, I’m the one who wants to ask here.

「I’m just an x-ray user」

When I answer her, doubt appears in the green eyes of the insect user.

「A staff of nature conservation organization?」
「What?」

Nature Conservation Organization? What’s that?

「Is it wrong?」

The insect user who saw my expression seems to have been convinced.

「Officially, the nature conservation’s aim is state organization. It’s not just this country, there exists international organizations all over the world. But, the nature conservation is just a surface facade. They’re an organization that aims to protect different ability users and demi-humans. It’s my compet.i.tor so to speak」

Though she’s frightened, the insect user begins to speak.
She was talking even when we were fighting, does she love speaking?

「I had a dream of becoming a member of the protection organization before. I’m a part of a family with unusual powers. There’s the time where strange looks are discriminated by humans and the reality of getting killed troubles us. But, I’m someone who can’t keep up among the insect user clan. Unable to succeed as the family head, unable to become a member of the protection organization, when I noticed it I’m already soaked in the underground world. In short, I fell in the world of darkness. Laugh」

「…I-I didn’t think you would really laugh」

「Y-You’re right but…」

The insect user felt depressed when I laughed at her then she pouts.

「What’s with you, do you think I would forgive you if you change your character」

I look down and asked the insect user who suddenly turned meek.

「N-No, that’s not the case. I just never lost to anyone after making a contract with the insect living in my womb. But, you defeated me」

「Isn’t your support the most troublesome? If it wasn’t for you, I will surely win」

The insect user stares at me, pouts her lips and sulks as she criticizes me.

It’s just coincidence that it was me.

I thought I can use her to oppose Kamuro Hizukiu but I don’t know when she’ll betray me. Though I’ve secured her weak point, if she manipulates a small insect then she take it out anytime she wants.

That way of thinking is gross though.
It’s troublesome but I’d like to do something about Kamuro Hizuki myself but should I get rid of this one?

「A, aha, ahaha…your eyes, your eyes are scary. H-Have I said something that rubbed you in the wrong way?」

The insect user got cheeky but she turned pale when she saw my eyes then she trembles while showing a cramped smile.

She’s an idiot so she looks easy to use.

「Ah, T-That’s right! I was talking about the protection organization」

The insect user averts her face from me then show a cramp smile on her pale face, desperately trying to gloss it over.

Should I take a look for a bit more?

「As an ability user, I’m at category D. One rank above the lowest. The lowest category, E, has a qualification to become a member of the protection organization. But, qualification and suitability is different. I was judged that I wasn’t suitable」

「No, I was D before. But the current me is C or B. I should be cla.s.sified as an ability user with a high rank」

High rank. You say that yourself. Well, I do agree that she has quite the strong power.

「Then, you should’ve entered that protection organization. You were stronger than before weren’t you?」
「Yeah, that’s what I thought too. But…」

The insect user shows a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic smile from my my question then she nods embracing herself.

「After making a contract with the insect in my womb, I obtained great strength and I knocked at the gate of the protection organization again. That’s when I knew the meaning of suitability. The contract with the insect in my womb is a forbidden method. I’m not suited. In short, I was judged as an ability user with a dangerous ideology. But, they ignored me as I was category D. But, I used a forbidden method. Therefore, I was turned to a subject of elimination」

I peek at the insect user’s mind while I listen to her.

The pure girl who just wanted to protect the ability user like herself became the hunted prey, she kept running away from the fright.
Then, she fell in the darkness.

「You did well to survive until today」

As far as I can see in the insect user’s mind, there definitely are people who have stronger abilities than her. So it’s natural for her to escape.
As I asked, I remember the answer in the insect user’s heart.

「Though it’s quite a high rank, at most it’s C or worst B. Besides, I may say it myself but I’m timid and slightly rascal. I didn’t have the capability to spare on such things as protection organization」

「You’re right. I am myself even if I use forbidden methods and fall into darkness. That’s the extent of my existence」

The insect user doesn’t lie at all. She’s spitting out what she thinks.

The lump of flesh rolling on the examination table is something called a homunclus.

I thought that she’s just a reckless belligerent but it seems that she simply got c.o.c.ky. She’s just filled with bluffs.
It’s true that she captured irregulars like Rikka and sold them off however.

「There’s a reason why I’m talking about this. A wolf demi-human, the elder sister is on Category E, the lowest rank in short. The younger one is probably a mutant. But, the ability value is too high for just a demi-human. She’ll be on category B based on her potential. I think she’s at C on her current state」

The insect user talks about Kazahana and Rikka then looked at me with a cramped smile. Her green colored eyes are clearly frightened.

「X-ray ability is generally an unusual power. It’s usually cla.s.sified as category F. In short, it’s outside the frame. The reason is that they’re just normal humans outside of it. But, since it’s outside the frame, it’s possible to enter the protection organization as long as you have the apt.i.tude. Though the body is weak, it’s a useful ability. However, it’s only limited to those with wide range.」

Oh, so my ability is on the lowest rank?
Well, I guess you’re not a normal human if you can fight someone stronger than the insect user.

「So, what are you? Your range should be narrow, right? In short, that you have a defect in your ability. And yet, something’s different from you. Is your ability really “just x-ray vision”? Just what on earth your eyes see?」

The insect user is clearly afraid of me.

The one’s I know are only Kamuro Hizuki, Rikka, Kazahana, and this insect user.

「X-ray vision is an ability exercised through eyes. But, I’ve read an ability that resembles it in a doc.u.ment before」

「Yeah. Though it’s close to x-ray, it doesn’t use the eyes. From what I’ve read, only a few have developed this ability. Furthermore, it’s too strong that those who have developed it has their spirit collapsing and they became disabled」

The power is too strong that they became disabled. That’s very unwelcoming.

「Then?」

「Tengan?」
「Is it too confusing? Then how about this?」

The insect user’s sweat run along her cheeks when I tilt my head.

「Heavenly eyes, it’s other name is clairvoyance」

The insect user mutters gently, then she shows a cramped smile as if she’s frightened, afraid.

「Ah, I’ve heard something about clarivoyance」

I don’t know Tengan but I’ve heard clairvoyance. I’ve heard about it but I don’t know it well.

「Clairvoyance is an ability located at category A. It only manifests on humans. In short, the top ability is located on a weak human. Just how frightening is that? But, there’s hardly anyone able to manipulate heavenly eyes. As I’ve said earlier, those who manifested it have their spirit collapse and turned crippled」

Weak but the highest ability. If I’m going to be crippled for something that silly, then I don’t need that ability.

As far as I can see in her mind, it’s also beyond her judgement.

My ability is just to see well more than I thought. In short, X-ray is more than I thought.
It’s all that much.

「I honestly don’t understand your ability. I feel like it’s just an x-ray vision but I feel that it’s different. But, was it Kamuro Hizuki? It’s highly possible that her ability is heavenly eye」

「Suppose I’m right, if that girl’s ability is heavenly eye, then it’s a threat that her spirit will collapse in a year. But, well when I caught her, her spirit starts breaking down. Perhaps, she’s already no good. I think that it’s a matter of time until she turns crippled」

Wait a moment. Just wait a moment. Her spirit breaking down you say…?

Also, now that she say it, Kamuro Hizuki’s ability is too incomplete. The range of her ability is unusually narrow, and even when she read minds, it’s just fragmented.

Then, could it beー

Isn’t that really really dangerous?

「It doesn’t matter whether the girl’s ability is heavenly eye or not」

「Either way, she has no future but to be crippled」

「No no, It’s impossible」

「I’m not an idiot loli. If possible, call me Onee-san. I’m still in my twenties」

「W-Why do you know that!?」

When I told her that her age will be rounded to 30, the insect user speaks up in surprise.

Your ability is a horrifying ability depending on how you use it.

「Anyway, that girl’s disabled so it doesn’t matter, what I don’t know is you. The heavenly eye girl is completely charmed by you. Even the wolf sisters. Also, it’s weird to say it but I’m also attracted to you. It’s hard to put it to words but how should I say it, that…」

Saying that, the insect user sent me an upward glance.

「I feel like you can manage to do anything. If I stay by your side, what ever happens I will be saved. It feels like I’ll be wound up on something long, I thought, or something. No matter how strong the enemy is, it feels like you’d win somehow, or something. In other words, I feel relieved to be by your side」

The insect user sends me up a fluttering upward glance.

Even though her body was chopped to pieces and she turned to a dartboard. Could it be that she’s seriously an idiot?
Also, sorry but I don’t like you.

「I don’t know it myself but I feel like you have an ability to charm or something like that」

The insect user who’s looking straight at me isn’t lying in her heart.

That saidー

「Just in case, a.s.suming that Kamuro Hizuki has the clairvoyance ability. Suppose she awakens it and became able to manipulate it freely, what will happen?」
「No no, that’s impossible」

The insect user shakes her neck.
Even when I look at her heart, she only thinks “Impossible!”

「Hey you idiot loli. We’re making a.s.sumptions here. Just answer it. Do you want your hands and feet cut off and become daruma again?」

「Hey, b.i.t.c.h, do you want to die?」
「I’ll answer」

The insect user turned pale when she saw my eyes in an instant, she sat formally then nods.
Then do that from the beginning. I’ll seriously go and kill you off next time you get c.o.c.ky.

「The individual with the heavenly eye isn’t that much of a threat. The biggest disadvantage of the heavenly eye is that they can’t use the ability on themselves. Therefore, it’s used in support, the threat won’t me measured. Heavenly eye, or let’s say clairvoyance, it’s the ultimate ability to see through the past, present, future, all events and phenomenon, the ultimate support ability. Using on someone other than oneself demonstrates it’s true value. The real threat is the person recognized by the heavenly eye user and the person who gains that power」

Listening to the words of the insect user who’s sitting naked, a girl appeared on my mind.
The girl who thinks of her master more than anyone, a beast girl who’s prepared to devote her life to please her master.

「There’s still hope」

It might be lucky for me that Kazahana stayed in that place.

At the same time, the risk of Kazahana becoming an enemy, well, I have to do something about it.

That’s good.

Even if Kamuro Hizuki can’t deal with it, as long as it’s perceived, Kazahana should be able to deal with it.

But, well, I strangely don’t feel regret.
Anyway, to see whether Kamuro Hizuki’s ability is clairvoyance, to confirm itー

「Hey, idiot loli」

「Ah?」
「That’s my name. I’m Tamamus.h.i.+ If you really don’t want to call me Onee-san then call me Tamamus.h.i.+」

The insect user speaks with a seriously.

「Then, Tamamus.h.i.+」
「Fufu, Umu!」

When I call her name, the insect user nods with a triumphant look.
This b.i.t.c.h, she really gets c.o.c.ky so easily.

「Then? You want to ask me about something don’t you?」

The insect user tilts her head asking that.

「Use a flying insect. A small one will do. Embed it Kamuro Hizuki’s body
「I’m bad at manipulating small insects but I can increase the accuracy if I only use one. Got it. I’ll send one」

The insect user shows a slightly hateful face when I tell her but she nodded for the time being.
As expected, she’s bad at manipulating small insects.

The insect user come out of the bathroom and made preparations for a small drone beetle like insect.

What’s left is to leave it to the insect user and wait for the results.
I had no choice but to beg that the insect user won’t fail.

After a while, the insect user’s triumphant face turned pale, she turned trembling then I realized it without even looking at her mind.
Oh, the situation turned to the worst.
