Chapter 607 607: Perception Link! Obtaining a New Skill!
But this Pure Love Future Diary didn't require Hikari to have any contact with minotaurs before getting information about them directly.
Although it also had limitations.
It would only display one piece of information related to future NTR protagonists each day. And the contents might not necessarily be detailed enough.
But it was still practical enough.
With the Pure Love Future Diary's targeting ability, even if it only pointed out a rough direction, Hikari could still rely on his other methods to lock onto the exact netorare culprit.
And if it displayed one netorare incident per day, then over a year, wouldn't that be 365 incidents?
And if he could solve all of them, then at the very least he could hunt over a hundred netorare culprits and save a similar number of heroines, right?
That would already bring him close to completing the time-limited mission given by the Pure Love System.
And according to the Pure Love Future Diary's description, as long as he solved enough incidents that appeared in it, it could even level up!
At that point, the amount of information it provided about netorare incidents each day would increase to two, three, or even more!
"No matter how I think about it, this is an extremely useful item for improving the efficiency of hunting netorare culprits."
Looking at the pink diary in front of him, Hikari smiled, "I wonder how detailed the information this future diary can provide actually is."
"I'll test it right now."
Hikari had always been decisive. Without hesitating, he opened the pink cover of the diary with some curiosity, planning to check the first piece of information the Pure Love Future Diary provided after obtaining it.
The Pure Love Future Diary looked no different from an ordinary diary on the outside. After opening the cover, the pages inside also looked normal, but the words written on them made Hikari unconsciously focus and read carefully.
[Future Netorare Incident Information!]
[September 5th.]
[Tokyo investigator Ikazuchi Riko brought her subordinate Noma to secretly investigate the movements of a certain illegal drug manufacturing group. During the process, they were discovered and suspected by the criminal organization. Facing the investigator who was secretly monitoring them and trying not to alert them, the criminal organization decided to play along. While male investigator Noma was distracted, they captured investigator Ikazuchi Riko…]
The contents of the Pure Love Future Diary stopped there.
But after reading this, Hikari, who already understood netorare incidents very well, immediately knew what would likely happen next.
After all, the theme of a investigatorgetting captured by a criminal organization was already something commonly seen.
"September 5th… that's tomorrow."
After taking out his phone and confirming today's date, Hikari also understood that the effects of the Pure Love Future Diary were exactly as described.
It could predict future netorare incidents in advance.
But perhaps because the Pure Love version of the Future Diary he currently possessed was still low level, the information it provided did not include more exact times and locations.
To confirm the usefulness of the Pure Love Future Diary and gather more information about the first incident it provided, Hikari took out his phone and began searching the names that appeared in the diary, such as "Ikazuchi Riko" and "Noma."
Hikari knew that information about investigators like Ikazuchi Riko, who investigated dangerous criminal organizations involved in illegal drug trafficking, was usually tightly controlled.
Trying to uncover information about them would definitely not be easy.
And just as he expected, whether he searched "Ikazuchi Riko" or "Noma," the results were very limited.
But Hikari still did not give up.
After completely confirming that Ikazuchi Riko and Noma were indeed investigators, and that their main department should be the Illegal Drug Inspection Division, Hikari opened the Metropolitan Police Department's official website and public notice pages and began carefully searching for clues.
If you knew nothing and tried to find information on an investigator like "Ikazuchi Riko," it would basically be like searching for a needle in the ocean.
But once you had a clear direction and concrete information, things became much simpler.
Sure enough, after searching carefully for a while, Hikari roughly found information on an investigator named Ikazuchi-xxx. Although the page was extremely hidden and even encrypted, Hikari still cracked into it with ease. And even though the decrypted information on Ikazuchi-xxx still didn't display clear details, Hikari could still piece things together from the surrounding information and confirm that this investigator was Ikazuchi Riko.
Using the same method, Hikari also found part of the information regarding Noma.
But regardless of whether it was Ikazuchi Riko or Noma, the amount of information Hikari learned was still limited.
However, Hikari noticed that beneath the Illegal Drug Inspection Division's bulletin board were several wanted notices.
And one of them was clearly related to Ikazuchi Riko.
It roughly stated that the Illegal Drug Inspection Division was recently investigating a certain illegal drug, and if anyone discovered clues, they should report them to the department and would receive a reward of xxx.
The name and phone number left beneath that wanted notice were very likely Ikazuchi Riko's.
After organizing the information from the Pure Love Future Diary together with the information he had just gathered himself, Hikari began making deductions.
"The general situation should be that the Illegal Drug Inspection Division recently discovered a large amount of illegal drugs becoming active on the market, and assigned investigator Riko to investigate."
"Judging from the current information, investigator Riko has already been investigating for quite a while…"
"Based on the timing of the wanted notice, combined with the Pure Love Future Diary's information, this investigator Riko has probably already caught quite a lot of the criminal organization's movements."
"And because of that, she's preparing to close the net."
"But according to the Pure Love Future Diary's description, this operation won't go smoothly."
"Investigator Riko has already exposed herself instead, and the criminal organization is planning to use that against her and capture her."
"And what would happen after a young and attractive investigator gets captured by a criminal organization is obviously not difficult to imagine…"
While organizing this known information, Hikari also recalled similar themes he had seen in his previous life and considered how to resolve this netorare incident.
Clearly, he absolutely had to solve this netorare incident.
After all, it had already been confirmed that the Pure Love Future Diary was accurate and effective.
To obtain Pure Love Points, complete the limited-time mission, and level up the Pure Love Future Diary, Hikari had to resolve the netorare incident involving the investigator getting captured by the criminal organization.
But the current level of the Pure Love Future Diary was too low, and the information it provided was still too vague.
Although Hikari had already relied on his sharp observation skills to get more useful information.
For example, he already knew which department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Ikazuchi Riko belonged to.
He had guessed her approximate position and responsibilities.
He had even obtained her contact number.
But knowing this information was one thing. Actually making use of it and perfectly resolving this netorare incident still required careful planning.
Hikari narrowed his eyes.
As he walked, he thought, 'The top priority should be establishing contact with Ikazuchi Riko first.'
'There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people selling illegal drugs in Tokyo. Starting from them isn't realistic.'
'So starting from Ikazuchi Riko directly and solving this netorare incident head-on is more reliable.'
'But as an ordinary high school student, how am I supposed to establish contact with a investigator…'
'Should I directly tell her that I know her plan has already failed and that the criminal group has already discovered her? Impossible. I can't expose the existence of the Pure Love Future Diary.'
'Still, it's not like there's no way…'
His thoughts rapidly turned as a rough plan gradually formed in Hikari's mind.
For an ordinary high school student to build a connection with a investigator would be extremely rare, almost impossible, even in certain adult-themed stories.
But Hikari was not an ordinary high school student, and he had many methods available to him.
And recently, he just happened to have a lead that seemed capable of connecting with investigator Ikazuchi Riko's side as well.
If things went smoothly then, he might even kill two birds with one stone.
That way, he also wouldn't need to spend extra effort using other methods to approach investigator Ikazuchi Riko.
After roughly thinking through a direction, Hikari stopped dwelling on it further.
Because according to the warning information from the Pure Love Future Diary, the incident involving investigator Ikazuchi Riko would happen tomorrow.
Although there was a chance that parts of the plan could begin today instead of tomorrow.
There was definitely no need to overthink it right now, and he still had other things to handle.
"Right, it wasn't easy finally getting lucky and pulling gold. Should I do another pull?"
After finishing his thoughts about the Pure Love Future Diary, Hikari suddenly thought of that.
Gacha systems really were addictive. When you didn't get anything good, you wanted to pull. And after getting something good, you wanted to pull even more.
"Actually, the remaining Pure Love Points are enough for another ten-pull and still enough for tomorrow's stat upgrade."
"And according to the plan, I should gain more Pure Love Points today anyway."
"Let's do it."
"I'll just do one more ten-pull. If I don't get anything, I'll stop."
After deciding, Hikari didn't hesitate and immediately started another roulette draw.
Maybe his luck had really turned around, or maybe this was compensation for being too unlucky before, this ten-pull he did while riding the excitement actually gave him another reward.
[Ding! Consumed 100 Pure Love Points! Roulette draw in progress…]
[Ding! Congratulations host for obtaining reward: "Shenbao Nutritional Fastline" x9!]
[Ding! Congratulations host for obtaining reward: "Perception Link"!]
Ignoring the guaranteed Nutritional Fastline, Hikari quickly checked the details of the skill.
[Perception Link: Can connect the sensory perception of a designated target with another object. When the designated target suffers harm or other sensations, the linked object will experience the same level of harm. (Note: Using this skill consumes a certain amount of mental energy. The amount consumed depends on factors such as the number of linked targets, their strength, and their willpower.)]
After seeing this new skill, Hikari's eyes lit up.
'This skill is pretty good.'
'It can easily turn single-target damage into group damage.'
Against very powerful enemies, the effect might be average. Against a single enemy, it might even be nearly useless, but against weak trash mobs below his level, the effect would be extremely strong.
And with his current strength, most people in the world were basically trash mobs to him already.
So this counted as a pretty useful skill.
And perhaps this skill wasn't only useful in combat.
When teaching and training Natsuha, Yukino, and Ruri, those three gyarus, or even the Sakuramiya sisters, it should probably work quite well too.
Thinking of this, Hikari even had the urge to immediately turn around, head back to Harmony Apartments, drag Yukino, Natsuha, and the three gyarus over, and test the new skill with them.
But Hikari only thought about it briefly before dismissing the idea.
After all, Yukino and the others were probably still exhausted and sleeping right now. How could they have the energy to help him test things like this?
And he had business at school today too. He couldn't indulge himself.
'Mm… I'll test it tonight after going back instead.'
'Perception Link? Resonance Synchronization.'
While thinking about the new skill, Hikari had already arrived at school.
