The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 136: Attacked x Attack x Pretend
There is a national-scale shopping mall near Pojun College, and the group's destination is the cinema on the fourth floor.

They didn't go to the cinema right away.

According to Kurogane Jushizuku, there was still some time before the movie started, so at the suggestion of Arisuin Nagi, they went to the dessert shop on the first floor to kill time.

Zun Zun was not very interested in desserts, so they separated for the time being.

When he came back, he was holding a red and black humanoid doll that was about the same height as him.

Everyone in the dessert shop looked at him.

In addition to the fact that this large puppet is eye-catching, there is also the reason that Zun Zun is extremely good-looking.

The combination of the two is even more bizarre.

Stella also spoke up: "Muppet...I didn't expect you're not even that old yet."

"What's the matter? I like dolls, too. I have one next to my bed. I have to hug it every night, otherwise I can't sleep well."

Arisuin Nagi said this with great emotional intelligence.

The Kurotetsu siblings didn't say anything, but they also looked curious and inquiring, as if they were surprised that Zun Zun liked dolls.

"I don't actually like Muppets."

"That?"

“Because I feel lonely.”

Zun Zun pouted and said, "You all have roommates and live in pairs every day. Because I entered school late and there are no students with the same level as me, I can only live in a dormitory by myself. I am so lonely and bored, so I bought a stuffed doll to keep me company."

“I see… this is really hard.”

Kurogane Ikki said this awkwardly, and the other three nodded in agreement.

Lonely?
Normally, having a dormitory all to yourself should be a great thing.

But considering the other party's age...

Forget it, don’t think too much about it.

"Wait." Kurogane Jushizuku suddenly said, "In that case, why don't you let my brother live with you?"

"…Huh?" X2
Stella and Kurogane Ikki were slightly stunned.

Kurogane Jushizuku continued, "I remember that Zunzun's magic level is also A, right? If that sow hadn't entered school earlier, you should have been the first. In that case, doesn't it mean that under normal circumstances, you and your brother should live together?"

“Is that so…?”

There was confusion in Kurogane Ikki's eyes.

In fact, this is wrong. After all, although Zun Zun's magic level is A, he is still not as good as Stella, who is a natural born demon. So no matter what, Stella will be the first place.

"Hey, who are you calling a sow, you ugly girl?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Facing Stella's questioning, Kurogane Jushizuku did not back down at all and said venomously: "I am worried about my brother's safety if he is with a sow like you who can only seduce others. But Zun Zun is different. He has someone he likes. And it can also keep you away from my brother, killing two birds with one stone."

"wait wait wait……!"

Stella slammed the table and yelled, "I know you want me to leave Yihui. Although I won't leave, I hope you will think about it carefully! It is true that Zun Zun has no feelings for Yihui, but what about Yihui? What if he has feelings for Zun Zun? "

"Well!"

Kurogane Shushizuku's expression froze instantly.

She really wanted to say that she trusted her brother immensely, but after looking at Kurogane Ikki and then at Zun Zun, she finally chose to compromise.

"…Sure enough, this is better."

"Right!"

The two of them reached a consensus in an instant.

Only Kurogane Ikki and Zun Zun looked at each other.

"…What's going on? I feel like my credit is bankrupt."

“I feel offended, too.”

Arisuin Nagi watched all this with a unique smile. He really wanted to say that it would be better to let Zunzun and Stella share a dormitory. They are both A-level, and it will also prevent Kurogane Ikki from being tempted.

However, this would cause him to be at odds with Stella and Ikki Kurogane, so he chose to remain silent with great emotional intelligence.

It's almost time.

The group walked towards the cinema on the fourth floor.

But just when they reached the third floor, Kurogane Ikki suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom first. Please buy the ticket for me."

"Well, I'll go with you then."

"Yeah, I'll come too."

Zun Zun didn't really want to go to the bathroom, but Ikki Kurogane had just secretly signaled him with his eyes, obviously wanting to say something to him and Arisuin Nagi.

The three men walked towards the men's restroom on the third floor.

On the way, Kurogane Ikki said to Arisuin Nagi: "I am very curious about you."

"Really? Oh my, this is an unexpected development! Now let's go watch "Paradise Lost by Men (Note: 15+)"!"

"I'm not talking about curiosity in that sense!"

Faced with Arisuin Nagi's bold invitation, Kurogane Ikki backed off a bit and quickly explained, "Because Shizuku is very shy, she rarely gets so close to others, especially the opposite sex, so I'm a little curious about what kind of person you are."

"Because I'm a girl."

"..."

"What's that look in your eyes? Besides, if we're talking about being familiar, it's obvious that Zun Zun is faster."

The two of them looked behind them at the same time, seeing Zun Zun, who seemed like a beautiful landscape.

"Huh? Me?"

He pointed to himself.

Kurogane Ikki nodded: "Yes. Although I haven't seen Shizuku for many years, I knew as soon as we met that she was still the same as before, and even more shy."

"However, even though it took me nearly three days to gradually enter into Shizuku's heart, it only took Zun Zun three minutes, and we even became close friends... It really makes me sad." Arisuin Nagi covered her cheek as if she was hurt.

"No, no, no, you're quick too."

The one who was hurt the most should be his brother.

He seemed to understand the feelings of those fathers after their little girls were taken away by the ghost-fire boy.

Zun Zun curled his lips.

That's not called a close friend.

Kurogane Shushizuku only becomes friends with Zunzun, who has the same idea, because she is afraid of being condemned and despised by the world.

To put it nicely, it is like-minded; to put it bluntly, it is seeking comfort.

Just as Zun Zun was about to say something, his brows slightly frowned, and Arisuin Nagi's expression also froze, and she looked around with vigilance and nervousness in her eyes.

"Honorable, Alice?"

"Ikki, come here for a moment."

Arisuin Nagi grabbed Ikki's hand without saying anything and rushed out, followed closely by Zun Zun, and the three of them rushed into the men's restroom where they had originally planned to go.

The next second, a loud bang mixed with the sound of broken glass pierced through the eardrums of the three people.

What followed were gunshots and screams.

Arisuin Nagi flipped her wrist, and a silver-gray dagger appeared in her hand. She stabbed it into the floor, and a pool of black liquid suddenly appeared, then pulled Kurogane Ikki and Zunzun into the floor.

Just after the three of them completely hid.

Two fully armed men - wearing black combat uniforms, gas masks and holding rifles - rushed into the men's restroom in a hurry.

"Very good, this is all that's left. I'll check each room one by one, and you keep watch outside for me."

"No need to bother."

“Hello…Hello!”

The man with a frivolous tone ignored his partner's attempts to stop him, raised his rifle and fired at the toilet, stopping only after he had emptied the magazine.

The sound of gunfire echoed in the small toilet, and when the gunshots stopped, the door of the cubicle had become a honeycomb.

If someone was there, he would definitely not be safe. However, no blood flowed out of the half-destroyed toilet. "Good, no one is there."

"Don't act on your own! We've given the order that the customers will be taken hostage!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Isn't there anyone here?"

"...I won't care if you get killed by Master Smile."

The two men left the toilet cursing.

After a while.

A dark pool of water appeared on the floor of the toilet. After confirming that the enemy had gone far away, Arisuin Nagi floated up with the two of them.

"Huh, it looks like they've left."

"Yes."

Ikki Kurogane stared at the silver-gray dagger in his hand.

"This?" Arisuin Nagi swung the dagger and said with a smile, "This is my inherent spiritual outfit, Dark Hermit. It's pretty good, right?"

The ability to manipulate shadows.

It is indeed very convenient.

However, the disadvantage is that when the entire room is illuminated, no shadow can be created as long as there are no obstacles, so it is useless.

Rather than being a knight in broad daylight, this ability is more reminiscent of an assassin.

I just don’t have the time to explore these things. The most important thing now is to sort out the current situation.

Ikki Kurogane contacted the chairman, Kurono Shinguji, and learned that the attacking organization was Rebellion. They believed that the Swordbreakers were humans chosen by God, and therefore wanted to let the Swordbreakers rule ordinary people.

The hostage-taking in this attack was simply an attempt to obtain funds for the activity.

After obtaining permission to use the inherent spiritual equipment, I also learned that the hostages were being gathered in the open-air square.

The three of them used Arisuin Nagi's inherent spiritual equipment to quickly move to the vicinity of the open-air square. They stopped at the edge of the square, at the corner where the beams and columns on the third floor intersected, from where they could overlook the entire food street.

Just as the Chairman said.

The hostages were gathered in the square, and about ten men in black combat uniforms were surrounding them in a circle.

The enemy had hostages and about 30 heavily armed men, and we only had three people. At this time, we should wait and see what happens, but the situation developed in an unpredictable direction.

"——You little bastard!"

The angry roar echoed in the unusually quiet open air square.

It turned out that a little boy among the hostages attacked one of the Rebellion members using ice cream.

This level can't even be called an attack, but it is more than enough to irritate the opponent.

The enraged Rebellion kicked the little boy away, and he crashed into a pillar, unable to move, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

His mother screamed, but was also kicked away.

"That rascal……"

Just as Ikki Kurogane was about to get up, he was held down by Nagi Arisuin, but he forgot that there was another person here.

"Unforgivable!"

Zun Zun stood up with an angry look on his face, then stepped on the wall of the mall. His posture of completely ignoring gravity startled Ikki Kurogane and Nagi Arisuin who were beside him.

In front of the two of them, he walked down the wall step by step.

"wait wait wait!"

Arisuin Nagi hurriedly took out a dagger and wanted to use her sword-cutting skill, Shadow Seam, which could freeze other people's shadows, to stop Zunzun's reckless behavior.

But I don’t know if it was because of the sudden change in light, Zun Zun’s shadow shook strangely, and the dagger brushed past the shadow.

"No way……"

Arisuin Nagi's expression changed.

In fact, what he didn't have time to say was that the Kurogane Jushizuku, who had hidden magic power among the hostages, had already secretly set up a barrier, and once the barrier was opened, it would be time for them to take action.

But Zun Zun's actions could easily disrupt their deployment.

At the same time, Zun Zun's appearance also caught the attention of the fully armed Rebellion below.

"Hey, up there!"

"What, is there anyone else?"

"The one who can stand on the wall... is the Swordbreaker!"

"shot!"

Da da da------

With an order, accompanied by the flash of gunfire, dense bullets were fired towards Zun Zun.

If an ordinary person was hit, he would definitely be injured. Even ordinary swordsmen, such as Ikki Kurogane and Nagi Arisuin, would not dare to take it head-on.

However, Zun Zun didn't even have the intention of dodging. He just walked slowly in the hail of bullets as if no one was around.

The most unacceptable thing is that not a single bullet hit him, not even a scratch!

"You guys, hit the target!"

"I know! Lord Metallurgist, but...!"

"I can't hit it! Why?!"

The bullets in the gun have been emptied two or three times, but not a single shot hits the target. In such intensive shooting, the target is even getting closer and closer...

Is this the swordsman?

"hateful!"

The man named Ye Jin gritted his teeth secretly.

But soon, he thought of a countermeasure and turned the gun that was originally pointed at Zun Zun to the hostage nearby.

The black barrel of the gun still emitted the stench of gunpowder, which made the ordinary hostages immediately let out embarrassing and frightened sounds.

Zun Zun walked down the wall step by step.

No one could give him this feeling of oppression. He was holding a doll that was as tall as himself in his hands. This absurdity did not dilute his fear, but instead made Ye Jin's rationality value drop wildly.

"Don't, don't come here!"

Ye Jin yelled at Zun Zun, "If you come any closer, I'll shoot!"

"Then you can just shoot."

"……Eh?"

"These people have nothing to do with me anyway. Killing them won't have any impact on me. On the contrary, I can lift the ban and kill you."

Obviously, Zun Zun's answer left him at a loss as to how to respond.

"me……"

"What's wrong? Are you afraid? In the final analysis, you are only this level. You say that you want to let the sword cutters rule over ordinary people, but in fact you just promote violence to make money and do evil. You are just acting purely for your own selfish desires."

Zun Zun had no intention of stopping.

He walked towards metallurgy step by step.

"Don't, don't come over here... I'm going to shoot! I'm really going to shoot! I'm not kidding!"

"Your philosophy is that the Swordbreakers are above everything else and can rule over ordinary people, right? Then, I, the Swordbreaker, can also rule over you, right?"

“No, that’s not right! I, I… I am an honorary citizen of the New World, I, I…! No, don’t… Please, please…”

Ye Jin, who had just been bullying ordinary people, was now sweating profusely and shaking all over. He couldn't even hold his gun and begged for mercy.

Zun Zun stretched out his hand to him as if he had not heard anything.

"Light of Saber."

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The powerful electric current burned his whole body black, and he lay on the ground with white smoke coming out of his mouth, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
