I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

But just as she passed a right corner, a strange sound suddenly came from her left.

And she was subconsciously drawn to look over.

But just as she turned her head, heavy footsteps came from her right.

'not good! '

Erii Honjo immediately realized that someone was trying to distract her!

I wanted to turn my head away, I wanted to turn around, but... it was all too late.

'boom! '

Almost at the same moment that Honjo Erii turned her head, the sound of a heavy object hitting the back of her neck and head rang out.

In an instant, the girl's consciousness was overwhelmed by chaos, and the flashlight in her hand fell to the ground.

Just before collapsing to the ground and passing out, Erii Honjo, using the light of her flashlight, saw a blue-haired boy with androgynous features that could be described as more beautiful than "handsome."

The other person held a baseball bat in his hand, looking down at her indifferently as she lay on the ground.

Fujii...kun?

Before losing consciousness, Erii Honjo recognized this face; it belonged to Yuza Shirou, who was both her classmate and childhood friend.

They were both sent to the hospital because of the fight.

My memory stopped there.

.........

"Cough cough..."

Duanmu Lian looked at Honjo Erii, who had been knocked unconscious, and kicked her in the head again without any mercy, making her sleep even more soundly.

However, after kicking him, Duanmu Lian's face suddenly turned pale, and the signs of weakness in his body and various internal organs caused him to cough up blood.

He knew that his time was running out.

Even if I don't die tonight, I won't live more than a week.

According to the so-called 'plot' in my memory, I will be killed by Yuza Shirou and Honjo Erie together.

However, having endured until today, he wanted to decide for himself how he would die.

Let him vent his last bit of vitality.

Duanmu Lian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then picked up the blood-stained baseball bat and walked in another direction.

He could already hear the sound; Yuza Shirou was almost there.

At this moment, in a room filled with storage boxes of Deep Purple potion and giant spider corpses scattered all over the floor, Yuzashirou emptied the bullets in his gun.

Looking at the chaotic scene around him, Yuza Shirou took a deep breath.

This place is a pharmaceutical factory, and these abnormal-looking spiders around here are probably guards.

However, the person in question has not yet appeared, and we don't know how Ellie is doing.

"It feels strangely familiar..."

Yuza Shirou frowned as he looked at the surrounding facilities, a sense of déjà vu washing over him.

It's not a sense of familiarity, but rather a feeling of literal familiarity.

By the way, the facilities here look a lot like the room where Ayase Kozo, whom he killed when he was a child, used to conduct experiments!

The putrid proteins and amino acids emitted an ammonia smell.

The smell of alcohol and chlorine used in disinfectants.

They drugged Lian until she fell into a deep sleep, and then imprisoned her on the operating table.

The chilling formaldehyde-preserved specimens displayed on the shelf.

"call out----!"

Just as Yuza Shirou was recalling this sense of familiarity, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out from behind him.

Almost subconsciously, Yuzashi, who was always getting into fights, crouched down.

Then he saw the spinning stick smash the glass to pieces.

Tap———

Upon hearing the footsteps, Yuza Shirou immediately turned around, his eyes narrowing in surprise.

"lotus!?"

Yuzashirou couldn't help but cry out in surprise, because the person slowly emerging from the darkness was none other than Duanmu Lian, dressed in casual clothes.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, and his expression and every move were like those of a mechanical puppet.

In fact, Duanmu Lian had already activated the system's [Analysis and Calculation] function, using her astonishing computing power to target Yuzashirou.

In the instant that Yuzashiro was shocked, the flower of weakness bloomed in Duanmu Lian's eyes.

BOOM!

Duanmu Lian immediately activated the "polar transformation" function in the chat group, converting her remaining life force into instantaneous explosive power. The sound of her stomping feet even caused cracks in the floor.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Duanmu Lian's fist, with its protruding index finger knuckle, slammed hard into the opponent's ribcage.

It should be noted that Yuza Shirou's injuries from his fierce battle with Fujii Ren had not yet healed.

Duanmu Lian also saw through the fact that her opponent's body was not yet fully healed and launched a fierce attack that exceeded the limits of her body.

Click!

In an instant, Yuza Shirou's expression changed drastically. He felt the sound of his ribs breaking crisply, and he also felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

This indicates that the injury has affected the lungs and other internal organs.

An ordinary person would have been in great pain from such an injury, but Yuzashiro, who had been knocked away, rolled on the ground and spit blood from his mouth and nose before immediately standing up.

It's not that he's not afraid of pain, but rather that he's long since lost the ability to feel pain.

Before arguing with Fujii Renren (during summer vacation), on her way back from the beach, she suffered from numbness of pain, taste, and smell due to the aftereffects of a motorcycle accident.

Instead, their senses, in addition to the three senses, are highly developed, resulting in an abnormal constitution with excessive secretion of adrenaline.

"You bastard......"

Before Yuzashiro could even utter a curse, the shadow had already covered his vision and his large face.

Duanmu Lian had already leaped into the air, and her battering ram kick, with both feet together, had already landed hard on his big face.

His nose was broken, two or three teeth fell out, and he was kicked flying against the wall.

puff---

Another mouthful of blood spurted from Yuzashiro's mouth and nose.

At this moment, Duanmu Lian burned her life force, breaking through the protective limitations of her body, and the force of her attack was extremely heavy and great.

However, Yuzashiro was no pushover. Seeing that Duanmu Lian was trying to take advantage of his weakness, he casually threw the dagger in his hand.

"Cough! Lian, are you being controlled...? No! Who exactly are you!?"

Yuzashiro roared loudly and charged forward as Duanmu Lian dodged the thrown blades, kicking her in the side.

Seeing Duanmu Lian's empty and lifeless eyes, he subconsciously thought that his friend Fujii Ren was being controlled.

But sensing the other person's aura and murderous intent, he knew he had mistaken them for someone else.

Duanmu Lian did not respond to You Zuosi Lang's roar at all.

With high-frequency calculations in his brain, as if he had anticipated it, he used his bare hands to 'snap' and imprison the other person's ankle.

First, he pushed forward, causing the other person's body to gain momentum, and then suddenly pulled backward, immediately putting Yuza Shirou on the ground.

Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent was on the ground and unable to fight back immediately, Duanmu Lian, who was holding Yuzashiro's ankle, lifted one leg and jumped up suddenly.

Finally, under Yuza Shirou's horrified gaze, this vicious kick slammed into his groin.

"Bang—Splat!!!"

The sound of the floor cracking and the sound of a body organ being crushed by immense pressure rang out simultaneously.

Yuzashiro's hot dog and double-yolk egg were brutally crushed by Duanmu Lian.

If Yuza Shirou hadn't lost the ability to feel pain, he would definitely be letting out an incredibly shrill scream right now.

Although it didn't hurt, watching helplessly as proof of her manhood was destroyed caused Yuza Shirou's inner rage to explode.

"K-Samah!!!!!"

With a ferocious and twisted expression, Yuzashi Lang raised his other foot and kicked Duanmu Lian. The opponent immediately released his grip on her ankle, dodged backward, and reached for the equipment in the room.

When Yuzashi Wolf, whose pants were covered in blood, stood up, Duanmu Lian coldly and ruthlessly raised two small pieces of equipment and smashed them at him.

"Did you get plastic surgery? Or are you a clone?! Ah! Looks like the latter!!!"

Having dodged Duanmu Lian's projectiles, Yuzashirou, enraged and berserk, charged forward and engaged in fierce combat with her.

Just by the feeling of fighting with the other person, you can tell that this Lian is definitely not the Lian you remember.

The woman in front of me is quite skilled at fighting, and her attacks are extremely fierce. Her dodging and striking techniques are as if she can predict all of my actions in advance.

It's important to know that Fujii Ren and Yuza Shirou have similar fighting skills, so this situation of being suppressed is clearly abnormal.

Every attack Duanmu Lian made was aimed at the unhealed wounds on her opponent's body.

Therefore, every attack he launched left Yuza Shirou severely injured. If he hadn't lost the ability to feel pain, he would have been knocked to the ground long ago.

"I will absolutely, absolutely kill you, without leaving a trace, without leaving a single bone, without leaving a single cell!!"

Faced with the fake Fujii Ren in front of him, Yuza Shirou, who was the self-destruct factor of the real Fujii Ren, felt that he had been greatly humiliated.

Feeling that the other person's existence was a defilement, Yuza Shirou felt an intense, molten emotion welling up in his chest.

As for Fujii Ren, one is enough in this world!
