[The person who fell into despair was Grandma Kawada. She was chosen by the Fragment of Despair and her wishes were twisted, but in fact, she now does not seem to be as desperate as imagined.] Hinata Hajime murmured, [Does this mean that Grandma Kawada is no longer in despair? However, the Fragment of Despair has not been purified yet.]

[After the Despair Fragment changes its form of existence, simply because the First Despair Host is no longer desperate is not enough to purify the Despair Fragment. ]

Hinata Hajime blinked, [What should we do?]

【Add camellia. 】

[So, after the Despair Fragment changed its form of existence, this kind of Despair Host that is difficult to distinguish will appear, because the Despair Form carries the wish of Grandma Kawada, but it does not only rely entirely on this wish to exist. ]

Kamiya Izuru leaned against the door frame and looked at Grandma Kawada and the young men, with a calm look in his red eyes.

At the same time, Reborn walked out of the door. He avoided the young men and just talked with Kamijou Izuru in the back.

"What's up with that person?" asked Ricky. "Cha, a woman who died ten years ago. I don't believe in resurrection from the dead, and that's not an illusion. So, what is she?"

Kamizuru Izuru glanced at Reborn but didn't answer.

"Is this your goal?"

"A twisted expression of despair." Under Reborn's questioning, Kamijou Izuru finally spoke. He rarely spoke for explanation, and his answer was quite brief. "Despair is contagious, it brings power, and causes an even greater explosion of despair. This is a despair event."

Reborn frowned slightly as he thought of the woman who had died before.

There was a big hole torn on her neck. The forensic doctor performed an autopsy on the body with the family's consent, but there was a hollow space inside her neck, as if something had occupied it, swallowed up all the flesh and blood, and finally fell out from inside, leaving no trace.

It was simply an unbelievable death.

Furthermore, this man named Hinata Hajime...

From the beginning, Reebok knew that he came here to investigate something. According to his many observations, Hinata Hajime was friendly enough, had a high affinity, and would not harm others. At that time, Reebok knew that this person was searching for something that might hurt other people.

Of course, the other side of Hinata Hajime still makes Reborn feel strange.

The color of his eyes would change. When they were all green, he was the most friendly. When his eyes were one red and one green, his rationality would be significantly improved. When they were all red, he seemed like a completely different person. Reborn also observed those teenagers.

Except for Sawada Tsunayoshi, everyone else actually thought that Hinata Hajime was wearing colored contact lenses. He did this to make his store look more mysterious.

As for Sawada Tsunayoshi, he seems to think that the green-eyed Hinata Sou and the red-eyed Hinata Sou are not the same person.

"If the desperate event you mentioned occurs, what methods need to be used to resolve it?" Rickard put this doubt aside for the time being and asked another question.

If it was just an accident, then Reborn would be very happy to set up a training plan for Sawada Tsunayoshi and let him grow under pressure, but that needs to be a controllable state. Now this incident is obviously uncontrollable, whether it is the inexplicable death of people or the vague despair that will be contagious.

This uncontrollable event must be resolved before his training plan begins.

"Hope." Kamiya Izuru spoke uninterested, his hands in his coat pockets, his red eyes full of boredom, "Using something that is the opposite of despair can purify despair events."

Reborn frowned. "That doesn't sound very scientific."

"Is the Death Flame scientific?" Kamukura Izuru asked, "Or is it that people have souls, and there is power science in the souls?"

Lee Bourne: ...

"Very good, you have convinced me. I will tentatively believe that this is the flame of death that has mutated in the soul." Reborn accepted it quickly. "Then, Mr. Hinata, do you remember what you promised me?"

Kamijou Izuru and Reborn looked at each other, without a trace of emotion in their red eyes.

At that moment, Reborn even had doubts, "Is this person really still Hinata Hajime?", because his eyes were really cold, and as an experienced first killer, Reborn had only seen such eyes from one type of person.

That is the colleague who has killed people to the point of being numb.

They no longer have human emotions, and calmly accept missions to kill targets, and can pull the trigger even when facing a crying baby.

It has lost all human sensibility and is a pure killing tool.

Of course, Reborn doesn't think that Hinata Hajime is a murderous bastard. There must be a reason why he is in this state.

"After this is over, I hope you can temporarily teach Tsuna some courses." Reborn ignored the thoughts in his mind just now and just treated himself as if he was facing the normal Hinata Hajime.

"What do you want me to teach him?"

"How can we defeat the enemy with the least effort?" Reborn said, "I believe you can teach him."

[Trouble.] Kamiya Izuru didn't show any impatience in his eyes, but he still complained in his heart, [It's a waste of time.]

[Logically, you have all the talents you can teach others, but you only taught Tsunayoshi how to defeat the strong with the weak!] Hinata Hajime teased, even stealing his habitual phrase.

Kamukura Izuru ignored Hinata Hajime's teasing and said directly to Reborn: "If you want to end the incident, you have to find Kawada Yamcha."

"It's hard to determine the location of Camellia Kawada. She's not a real human, after all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lived with Ms. Kawada for so long without being noticed. She's more like a soul than a normal human, able to disappear under surveillance." Reborn said, "If we know where she's going, we can probably tell where she is."

Kamizuru Izuru didn't say anything, but he probably felt that the people around him were really unreliable.

So he let Rickard go directly into the house. At this time, Grandma Kawada was already familiar with Sawada Tsunayoshi's guitars.

"Mr. Hinata?"

Kamukura Izuru looked at the people in the room and asked, "Where are your classmates?"

"Classmate?" Jikudera Hayato was stunned for a moment, "Why did Mr. Hinata ask our classmates?"

"We are all classmates." Sasakawa Ryohei showed a confident smile, "We must try our best to build good relationships with our classmates!"

"No." Sawada Tsunayoshi and Kamukura Izuru looked at each other, and after a moment he suddenly turned his head to look at Grandma Kawada, "He was asking about Grandma Kawada's classmates."

Everyone present was stunned.

"Eh?" Jikudera Hayato said, "Why did Mr. Hinata ask about Grandma Kawada's classmate? I remember Grandma Kawada said that her classmate was injured by that bad guy and was in the hospital after a car accident. Wait, wait a minute..."

Yamamoto Takeshi frowned, "Mr. Hinata, do you mean that Ms. Yamcha will attack Mrs. Kawada's classmates?"

[When Grandma Kawada tried to leave Kawada Yamcha, she lost control, especially when Grandma Kawada stopped her from killing Rambo just now, which seemed to explain that she was abandoned, so she would only become more extreme, including killing everyone related to Grandma Kawada, causing Grandma Kawada to stay with her. ]

Hinata Sou murmured softly, and the more he thought about it, the deeper his frown became. [Rambo was saved, and she could kill others, but this was something she could do.]

[That's right.] Kamiya Izuru said calmly, [The first person she would look for is the old man who is still in the hospital and has a clear goal.]

Grandma Kawada's face turned pale and she quickly stood up, but she was too old to move quickly.

"She is in the Namimori Central Hospital. She has not been able to move normally since the car accident because of her poor health." Grandma Kawada shouted, "Will Shancha hurt her? No, that's wrong! You can't let Shancha do that."

Kamiya Izuru turned around and ignored Grandma Kawada behind him. After receiving the news, he immediately walked towards the target location.

Looking at Kamuzuru Izuru's back, Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned slightly, but after a moment he relaxed his brows and squatted down in front of Grandma Kawada, "Grandma Kawada, let me carry you."

"well?"

"It's okay." Sawada Tsunayoshi said, "I think grandma must want to go over there, but she has difficulty walking, so if I carry you, we can definitely get there quickly."

Grandma Kawada's eyes flashed with surprise, and after a moment she smiled with a gentle light in her eyes, "Good boy."

"No, no, no, let me do it. How can the tenth generation do these things?" Jigokudera Hayato said, "Please let me do it!"

"If it's just about carrying grandma, I think I can do it."

"Baseball idiot, show me your injured arm! This is my chance to become my right-hand man, I won't give it to you!"

"You guys are so friendly, hahaha." This is Ryohei Sasakawa who was watching from the sidelines.

Anyway, several young men carried the disabled grandma Kawada on their backs and took her towards the Namimori Central Hospital. Of course, they could no longer see Kamukura Izuru at this time, but Sawada Tsunayoshi understood that he did not go anywhere, but must have gone to this hospital to protect the unknown grandma.

Whether it is the gentle Mr. Hinata or the cold Mr. Hinata, they all have the same goal, which is to protect others.

In this case, there is no need to make any distinction.

Because they are all good people.

On the other side, at the Namimori Central Hospital, Kamizuru Izuru walked into the inpatient building at the back, away from the patients who were seeing the doctor, with little expression on his face.

[Is there a way to control the Fragment of Despair?] Hinata Hajime was still a little worried. [It seems that this is the only form of the Fragment of Despair. The others, no matter how powerful they are, are just ordinary people and can be subdued by normal people. Will the Fragment of Despair be like this?]

【Can.】

【Can?】

[We know that she is the Fragment of Despair, but she doesn't know that her condition is more like a despair host possessed by the Fragment of Despair, with overly distorted thoughts and emotions. As long as it thinks that it is a person, then she is a person, a human who can be injured and die.]

Hinata Hajime's hands trembled. "Then what is the difference between her and ordinary people?"

“There is no difference.”

"This is unlike any other Despair Shard we've encountered before."

"Chuang, you have to understand that no matter whether it is despair or hope, when it reaches its limit, it will plunge the world into a terrible panic, not to mention that it is just shaping a consciousness, which is not much different from the artificial intelligence Alter Ego."

Hinata frowned, and after a moment he nodded, "Alter Ego, this metaphor makes me feel much more acceptable, so Miss Camellia in front of us now is just an alternative Alter Ego, and then she is stuffed with despair factor, right?"

“Yes.”

But in this case, Hinata Hajime still found a problem.

This is why even if Grandma Kawada wants to change the status quo, she cannot purify the Fragments of Despair, because this time the Fragments of Despair have created an artificial intelligence Alter Ego based on despair, with Kawada Yamcha as the base and a paranoid personality.

It was useless for Grandma Kawada to simply choose hope, because this artificial intelligence dutifully believed that she was Grandma Kawada's daughter, and was in despair and pain because of this.

Hinata Hajime never believed that artificial intelligence had no right to be called human.

Whether it is Chiaki Nanami or Fujisaki, Naegi's classmate, they are all AI, but they try their best to help them when they are most desperate. It is also because of their help that everyone can move towards the light and have a future again. When they are given human emotions, they become human beings.

…

In the trauma ward, Nagito Komaeda was sitting there, looking at his bandaged hand and feeling a little depressed.

He was originally waiting at the station for his identity to be verified, but just when his identity was finally verified and he was about to leave, a robber ran into the control room and took Nagito Komaeda hostage, forcing them to stop the high-speed train.

What an unreasonable idea this was, there was not even a glimmer of hope, Nagito Komaeda complained in his mind while he was held hostage.

Then he was accidentally injured when the police were arresting this man. Although he received a compensation, which was good, and was sent to the hospital for bandages by the police, wouldn't this make it even more difficult for him to contact Hinata Hajime?

The feeling Hinata Hajime expressed when he met him before was very much like a new desperate incident. Could it be that he will not be able to face the desperate host this time?

"It's really unfortunate." Komaeda Nagisa looked at his left hand that was wrapped like a dumpling.

At this moment, a red figure passed by Komaeda Nagito. He looked over in confusion, watching the woman in a red dress walking forward with her head down, as if everything had taken her mind away. At the moment the woman passed by, Komaeda Nagito also smelled a strong scent of flowers.

At this moment, Nagito Komaeda saw that her arm was bleeding, and the blood was flowing down her wrist and fingers.

With a plop, the blood fell to the floor, but the next moment, the blood turned into a black seed.

Nagito Komaeda picked up the seed on the ground curiously, and began to wonder if he was so unlucky as to have been caught in an illusion without knowing when.

But at that moment, with a click, the seed cracked, and in Komaeda Nagito's slightly surprised eyes, the seed instantly grew into a small bud, and the roots instantly wanted to penetrate into his fingers. Komaeda Nagito quickly threw the seed away, and the roots of the seed instantly took root in the floor. In less than a minute, a richly colored camellia blossomed.

"What is this?"

As if she heard the voice of Nagito Komaeda, the woman in red stopped and turned to face Nagito Komaeda, her black eyes filled with resentment.

"She's not here." Shancha murmured, "She's not here, why isn't she here?!"

There was a bang, the sound of glass breaking. The glass next to Shancha exploded, and she was caught off guard and pierced by the glass fragments. She let out a shrill scream, and the countless seeds on her body instantly turned into blood and flowed on the floor. The nurses and the patient's family members on the first floor were startled by the sound and looked at this side in horror.

The woman in red was seen curled up on the ground, while a man in a black coat was stepping on the broken glass next to her.

"Hinata-kun?" Nagito Komaeda spoke, and after a moment he frowned slightly, "No, it's Kamiya-kun."

"The person you're looking for was transferred to another hospital three days ago due to serious injuries. He is currently being treated in a Tokyo hospital." Kamukura Izuru said expressionlessly. "You are so angry and ready to kill all innocent people. You are just a person whose brain has been corroded by despair."

Kawada Yamcha stood up from the broken glass and asked, "Seriously injured, need to be transferred to another hospital?"

She laughed, "Die, all of you, as long as you die, my mother will come to love me."

"No matter how many people she kills, I was born for her and became her only daughter. She can't abandon me. We must be together forever."

The author has something to say: However, let me give you a brief scientific explanation.

Artificial intelligence Alter Ego, developed by a super high school programmer from the 78th class of Hope's Peak, is a super artificial intelligence that can be regarded as its own person in terms of both personality and appearance.
