Chapter 97 Umbrella
Several humans dressed in raincoats, each holding a black dagger in one hand and a twisted, fleshy tentacle in the other, were jumping around.
These humans plunged their daggers into their hearts, then shoved the black, purple-tinged fleshy tentacles inside. The thick, liquid black mist instantly enveloped their entire bodies, their faces contorted in agony.
A surging, evil power was constantly emanating from their hearts.
"Lord of the Abyss, have mercy on humanity and grant your servants divine power..."
With several painful screams, they completed their mutation and degeneration. The liquid gushing from their hearts covered their bodies, and bone blades extended from their arms. Their faces had completely lost their human features.
Bai Yuze glanced at it only once and then left.
Normally, he wouldn't mind giving Chesia, who was fishing behind him, a good beating, but right now he had absolutely no mood for it.
In a corner, two slender and alluring women dressed in half-naked nun's habit stood in the shadows, wearing hoods and holding crucifixes in their fair and slender hands.
A faint green light was fixed on the street, the very spot where the demons had just fallen.
"I felt inexplicably panicked just now."
"Look, sister, you just want a man!"
"No, my heart will always belong to Prince Yugiri..."
A few minutes later, Bai Yuze arrived at the scene.
He could smell the strong, pungent odor of blood and the pervasive smell of dust in the air.
Before him, it wasn't just a few buildings that had collapsed; it was razed to the ground.
Shouts and cries filled the air as countless people dug through the rubble to rescue victims trapped under the stones.
This scene made Bai Yuze's heart sink, as if he had fallen into a cold, frosty lake, and the chill seeped into his blood!
Without hesitation, he joined in, based on the user information he obtained from Ning Yuxuan.
They began to dig purposefully.
During this time, he rescued a child whose leg had been crushed by a rock, and clung to the remains of a dead couple...
The only thing they couldn't find was Ning Zixuan.
The injured were taken to the hospital, and the dead were moved to an open area for their families to claim.
As time went on, several magical girls from this district and other districts came to help, including Kikyo and Tulip.
The main function was to help rescue workers move boulders that couldn't be moved by manpower. With the help of the magical girl's extraordinary abilities, the situation at the scene was quickly organized.
Most of the victims at the scene have been found, but the list of more than a dozen missing persons has not yet been found, and Ning Zixuan's name is among them.
Just as he was still feeling a sliver of relief,
Amidst several gasps, a magical girl emerged from the ruins carrying a female corpse.
Bai Yuze followed the gaze and was immediately stunned.
The corpse was a woman's body. Her head was completely gone. Her mature and alluring body had been pierced by the claws of the monstrous beast, leaving a large hole in her internal organs. The blood had dried, but the diamond bracelet on her snow-white wrist still reflected a faint silver light under the lamp.
What's even more unacceptable is that his entire body was covered in marks from sharp blades.
This has been dissected.
The moment Bai Yuze saw the corpse, his mind went completely blank, and he stood frozen in place.
A black dress, a familiar diamond bracelet...
His last glimmer of hope vanished in an instant, leaving him feeling as if he had fallen into an abyss, his whole body turning ice-cold.
His thoughts seemed confused, and he stood there blankly.
Bai Yuze did not touch her.
I dare not touch her.
He still can't believe it's true.
Mingming said goodbye to him with a smile just yesterday, but today they are separated by death forever.
The gloomy sky continued to rain, gradually enveloping the entire city in a misty drizzle.
He watched the magical girl carrying the body gradually disappear into the distance until it was completely gone.
He slowly got up and silently left in the opposite direction of the crowd.
He no longer needs to be here.
He already knew the outcome he wanted.
Bai Yuze walked alone in the rain, his dark pupils unfocused, staring blankly at the large screen on the street displaying the news:
Early yesterday morning, dozens of monstrous monsters appeared in the Guannan Ward. Although they were defeated by magical girls who arrived at the scene, three houses still collapsed. With the help of firefighters, magical girls, nearby residents, and many volunteers, 137 people were rescued, 24 were injured, and 16 died.
First meeting,
They were about six years old. He had just arrived at his father's house and was going out to get acquainted with the surroundings when he met a little girl from next door who was watching the children playing below with envy.
Bai Yuze then took her downstairs to play in the mud with the group of children. They played for about half an hour, which was a way for her to experience childhood. Seeing that the little girl had already joined in, he took the opportunity to leave.
They can't possibly spend the whole afternoon playing in the mud.
However, to his surprise, the little girl followed him. He stood there in a daze, and the little girl sat beside him, also in a daze.
He was bored and started reading, and the little girl also pretended to read, though her delicate eyebrows were furrowed as she sat there.
Their expressions clearly revealed the pain she felt because she couldn't understand the text.
So, since he had nothing better to do, he started telling stories to the little girl and teaching her to read and write.
She thought it was just an ordinary encounter, but little did she know that from that day on, the little girl would follow her around every day, with no other hobbies but to follow behind her.
He read a book, and she waited to hear the story:
He played with firecrackers, and she helped him take them apart.
When he has money, he'll buy two popsicles, one for each of them; when he doesn't have money...
They bought a black and white pair for five cents; he ate the black one, and the little girl ate the white one.
From elementary school to junior high, the little girl always seemed quiet and well-behaved, until Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu appeared.
She then revealed her true nature. Bai Yuzhe had no idea how she had tamed these two little followers. By the time he realized what had happened...
He was being forcibly pinned to the ground by three girls, with Bai Youqing leading the charge, and the little girl even taking advantage of the chaos to give him a hard kiss.
His face was rosy, and he was very excited.
"I've already taken Bai-gege's first kiss, so from now on, Bai-gege is my husband!"
Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu stood to the side, inexplicably excited.
I only found out afterward.
Ning Zixuan bribed the two foodies by giving each of them an ice pop.
Since that incident, Ning Zixuan has forbidden any girl other than his two little followers from getting close to him, whether in class or near his home. Not only did the teachers hear about it, but the two families often sat together joking about whether to arrange a marriage between the two of them.
As a result, Bai Yuzhe never spoke to a single strange girl from junior high to high school. Everyone knew he was taken, and no matter how excellent his grades were or how arrogant he was, no girl ever confessed her feelings to him.
This situation continued until Ning graduated from high school. When the Ning family was moving abroad, her playmates Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu did not come to see her off on the day of her departure.
Bai Youqing believed that Ning Zixuan had betrayed their friendship and was a traitor, while Li Xuanyu had moved to another area and didn't have time to come over.
He saw Ning Zixuan sitting in the back seat of the car.
Tears welled up in the other person's eyes, and the corners of their eyes were red, as if they had already cried once. Their eyes were filled with reluctance to part.
"Bai Yuze, wait for me to come back, I will definitely marry you."
"Marrying and being married are two different things."
"I know, when I get back, I'll take care of you."
He didn't hear what was said after that, because Ning Zixuan had been beaten by her mother. She was so young and already thinking about being kept by a sugar daddy; what would she be like in the future?
The car started moving.
From then on, they were like two parallel lines that intersected and then separated, never to meet again.
Bai Yuze has always believed this.
Until yesterday's meeting,
Today's bad news and his current anger both tell him that he still has feelings for Ning Zixuan.
However, in his view, there was more of a family element involved.
"Hello, do you need any help?"
A gentle voice sounded in his ear. Bai Yuze raised his eyes and looked at the person beside him.
She is Kikyo, a magical girl, dressed in a simple and pure white shrine maiden outfit. Her black hair, like a waterfall flowing through the mountains, cascades over her kimono. Her elegant eyes are as pure as water, yet they contain a hint of melancholy.
She was holding an umbrella to shield him from the rain, completely covering his body so he wouldn't get wet in the cold rain, while her own body was completely exposed.
However, whenever raindrops are about to fall on her, they are blocked by an invisible, pure white film and slowly slide to the ground.
"Thank you, but could you leave me alone for a while?"
Bai Yuze slowly shook his head, declining the other party's kindness.
"Okay, but you should keep this umbrella. Getting wet in the rain can easily make you catch a cold. If you need any help, you can call me."
Kikyo, the magical girl, took out a small card from her collar, which contained the shrine's address and phone number.
"Okay, thank you." Bai Yuze took the umbrella and the card.
Under Kikyo's watchful gaze, he gradually disappeared into the misty rain.
Only after the other person was out of sight did Kikyo slowly turn her worried eyes. She had investigated the scene and found that the traces had been almost completely destroyed.
The abyssal aura wasn't very strong, only showing traces of about seven or eight [Sunfall] level calamity beasts, but she felt that was far from enough; there were likely many more strange calamity beasts gathered at the scene.
The Security Bureau originally classified the attack as a B-level case, but she directly used her authority to raise it by two levels to S-level Calamity, similar to the level of a wanted Abyss Demoness.
She felt that not only were the calamity beasts involved, but also all the evil witches of Yeqiu City had been mobilized.
