This initially went unnoticed by Kurumi Tokisaki, who shared the same view as the Ratatosk organization that it was just a smokescreen.
But after Yalin revealed his strength, she sensed something was wrong.
The clones around the world immediately sprang into action, beginning to gather the true information about Isaac's abdication.
As a long-time rival of DEM, she is adept at obtaining the information she desires.
They then discovered the truth from six months prior: Yalin was not a puppet put forward by Isaac, but had truly seized DEM from him and completely taken control of the organization.
This ability amazed Tokisaki Kurumi, who suspected that Ayrin possessed a similar hypnotic ability, otherwise it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.
Even so, it proves the special nature of the elf Yalin.
Given the information they possess, it's impossible that they knew nothing about the original spirit.
If we can bring him into the camp against the original spirits, the rest of the plan will undoubtedly go much more smoothly.
"Cooperation? That's possible, but what price are you willing to pay?"
Upon hearing this topic, Yalin scrutinized Tokisaki Kurumi for the first time, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Since the initiative has been handed over to him, should he take advantage of it?
"What price... I wonder what Lin Jun wants?"
Kurumi Tokisaki frowned at first, but then immediately relaxed, revealing a pleasant smile, and asked the question in an endearing tone.
As she spoke, she stood up from the bench and moved closer to Yalin with light steps. Her moist and warm breath lingered between them, creating a pink atmosphere.
“I’m quite interested in you,” Yalin said, raising an eyebrow in a flippant tone.
Why do all these elves treat him like a boy they wantonly tease?
Is this the tacit understanding between legal teenage girls?
However, to really treat him like an innocent rabbit is a bit too much of an overconfidence.
"Oh my, we really get along well. I'm quite curious about Lin-kun's body too." Tokisaki Kurumi lowered her eyes, showing a rare hint of girlish shyness.
“In that case…” Yalin reached out his index finger and hooked it under the girl’s chin. Under the girl’s blushing gaze, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Could you hand over your true form for me to study?”
Kurumi Tokisaki's pupils contracted slightly, and a murderous aura appeared on her face, but her voice remained unchanged, speaking in a dejected tone.
"What a sad thought. Can't a clone satisfy Lin Jun? It's exactly the same as the original in every way, so it can definitely give you the same experience."
As she spoke, a large shadow spread out from Kurumi's feet, attempting to silently envelop Yarin.
"Don't be disappointed. It's naturally better for the original person to experience this first time, which is full of commemorative significance."
Yalin blew a breath of hot air onto Kurumi's earlobe, then skillfully avoided the shadow's capture range.
He looked at Kurumi Tokisaki, who had been suddenly attacked, and gave her a mocking smile.
"I have no reason to refuse cooperation. However, if you are truly sincere, please have your true self come in person."
As for creating clones, that's still a bit lacking.
"As expected of Lin Jun, who is in charge of DEM Company, he is surprisingly skilled at flirting with girls despite his young age."
Kurumi Tokisaki touched her blushing earlobe, suppressing the embarrassment and annoyance in her eyes, and said softly.
"This is just a response to Kurumi." Yalin isn't exactly a pure and innocent boy, so it would be a shame not to take advantage of the temptation that's offered to him.
"If you are not satisfied, you are free to retaliate in the same way, I will not mind."
"Lin-kun's personality is truly unexpected. I will seriously consider your opinion." Tokisaki Kurumi blinked, her evaluation of him improving somewhat.
Compared to the elves I've encountered in the past, Yalin before me is quite unexpected; he truly deserves to be the only male elf.
It is also unclear what the original spirits did for various reasons when they created him.
However... the person in front of her was just too tempting, leaving Tokisaki Kurumi constantly in a state of unbearable hunger and thirst.
While Zafkiel's effects are powerful, the cost of using it is also significant. Even Kurumi, as a Spirit, often finds herself lacking spiritual energy and can only replenish it by absorbing the time of others.
To activate the Twelfth Bullet, which reverses time and changes everything, and to return to thirty years ago, one would need the spiritual power of at least one spirit.
This is an astronomical figure for her.
But Yalin was different; his time and spiritual power were beyond comprehension, unmatched by any other elf.
She had a premonition that if she could eat Yalin, she could not only accumulate the spiritual power to return to thirty years ago, but her own strength would also be greatly enhanced.
Perhaps we'll never have to worry about not having enough time again.
She will then have a greater chance of eliminating the initial spirit in its infancy.
For Kurumi, Yalin was like a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh.
Unfortunately, this Tang Sanzang possessed unparalleled strength and would not be easily captured by this demon.
"In that case, I am somewhat looking forward to our next meeting and hope that we can achieve a result that satisfies both parties."
As Yalin said this, he seemed to remember something and added with a smile, "By the way, don't easily take away other people's time—unless you're the most heinous scum."
Yalin's moral bottom line is not high, and he does not resist taking other people's lives.
However, the people he killed were mostly bastards who had a way of getting themselves killed, or enemies who insisted on standing in his way.
Of course, if someone has extremely high value, he wouldn't hesitate to use even the most wicked and twisted subordinates as tools.
As for Kurumi Tokisaki, there's a reason she's called the "Wicked Spirit." While most of the people she killed weren't innocent, there were certainly those whose crimes didn't warrant death.
Given the sins she committed, it is entirely reasonable for her to be hunted down.
It's truly ironic that the girl, who was once full of a sense of justice, has turned into this state; Mio Takamiya bears the main responsibility for this.
Of course, if Tokisaki Kurumi could really defeat the Origin Spirit and rewrite history, she could erase all of this.
Unfortunately, the probability of it happening is extremely low.
Therefore, we must prevent her from causing even greater harm.
Now that Yalin is the boss of DEM, he can be considered the leader of the human faction, and now that he has come to Tiangong City, he has to take some responsibility for this city.
Tsk, thinking about it now, he's still too kind.
As for the line between the ten most heinous crimes... of course, it's based on his own perspective. Although this is somewhat of a double standard, Yalin doesn't care.
"Oh dear, this is really difficult." Tokisaki Kurumi narrowed her eyes, her tone uncertain.
She was somewhat surprised by Yalin's request and also realized his bottom line.
Although she acted erratically, she unexpectedly cared about humans. No wonder she took the initiative to release a spacequake to counteract the [Princess's] spacequake and avoid causing casualties.
Well, Kurumi Tokisaki only learned about this little-known fact about spacequakes now.
"Mr. Lin should know that my abilities require sufficient time to activate, so I'm afraid I cannot agree."
Kurumi Tokisaki refused with an apologetic expression. Her only way to replenish time was to devour everyone.
It can also absorb nutrients from a large population over time, with each person taking in a very small amount – which can probably be replenished through health maintenance.
Yalin's words were somewhat harsh on her.
She cannot agree unless there is another way to make amends.
Upon hearing this, Yalin naturally put his index finger to his lips, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Lin-kun, are you unable to hold back any longer?" Tokisaki Kurumi grabbed Ayrin's finger that was pressed against her lips, her voice turning dangerous.
This guy doesn't seem like an innocent teenager at all; he seems more like a lecherous old man.
"If that's all your problem is, it's not difficult." Yalin didn't care about Tokisaki Kurumi's anger and easily ignored her questioning.
Yes, he did it on purpose.
If you don't show any signs of being aroused from the start, these elves will only tease you without restraint.
When facing the seasoned driver Kurumi Tokisaki, we must do the opposite.
This is the experience he gained from his interactions with Erya.
"Oh? Could it be that Lin Jun is willing to let me eat it? If that's the case, then I can never devour other people's time."
As she said this, Kurumi Tokisaki revealed a charming smile.
"Don't worry, I'll enjoy you."
"Kurumi, have you ever heard of mana replenishment?" Yalin said meaningfully, ignoring the other party's dangerous words.
"To mend demons?"
......
Tick-tock, tick-tock!
Drops of blood fell from Yalin's index finger, then from the air, and were caught in a pair of slender, fair hands.
"Incredible! Your blood contains such a rich spiritual energy." Tokisaki Kurumi put seven drops of blood into her mouth, and then showed a shocked expression for the first time.
The mere seven drops of blood from the Earth provided her with a time equivalent to that of tens of thousands of people.
This was even more outrageous than she had originally anticipated.
According to the DEM organization's records, Kurumi Tokisaki has caused approximately 10,000 deaths over the years.
Although in reality, because the City of Time can devour everything without leaving a trace, the actual number is probably even higher.
The absurdity and irony are that the time she has earned for the sins she has borne over the years is equivalent to a few drops of blood.
If Kurumi Tokisaki hadn't already firmly resolved her beliefs, she probably would have wavered uncontrollably by now.
She licked the residue off her palms, somewhat out of control, not missing a single bit.
Even the smallest amount of bloodstains would reduce the amount of human blood she would have to shed in the future.
Even if these sins eventually disappear as history changes, the traces of slaughtering lives will forever be etched in her soul.
Yalin did not disturb her actions, calmly watching the girl and waiting for her to regain her former rationality.
"Oh dear, I was being rude to you, Lin-kun." After pausing for so much time, Tokisaki Kurumi's gaze towards Ayrin became fervent.
Even if she doesn't eat Yalin, as long as she absorbs his blood like this every day, it won't be long before she accumulates enough time to activate the Twelfth Bullet.
Therefore, we must not miss such an opportunity.
