As she scanned the battlefield, she glanced back and saw Nagasaki Motoyo staring blankly at her.

"..."

Xiangzi suddenly turned his head away, then lowered his head and continued killing without saying a word.

What...what did I do?

Su Shi saw something strange!

A wave of inexplicable shame surged through Xiangzi's ears, so he gripped the sickle with even more sinister force, dragging the swollen chunks of flesh from the monsters and sending them flying wildly in all directions.

Dozens of undead creatures, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, were quickly reduced to a pile of minced meat by the efficient killing spree of these few individuals.

Killing these things will also cause them to drop light spots, but for some reason, the color of these light spots is strange and the taste is not very good.

It's like eating unsweetened dry oatmeal, but the quantity is decent, enough to fill you up.

Kirito, who had been hungry all the way and hadn't received any food last time, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! If I don't eat something soon, I won't be able to hold on much longer."

Actually, he had started to feel a bit hungry earlier, but Kirito didn't want to put pressure on his teammates, so he didn't say anything to make them worry.

"Hmm... so is this thing related to that thing you mentioned in the sea?"

Kazuma walked over, beaming, carrying his large sword.

However, he had the lowest number of kills this time.

"There should be."

Kerry nodded and extinguished the flame in his hand.

"That's right, this weapon looks just like the one on the back of that thing."

Xiangzi picked up a sharp thorn from the ground and placed it in front of the group.

Su Shi's lips twitched uncontrollably as she watched the group of people chatting casually amidst the mangled limbs, bloated entrails, and the stench of corpses, burnt flesh, and blood. They seemed completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere around them. Her slender fingers clenched slightly.

Shuangjie realized one thing: CRYCHIC was probably not coming back.

173

Chapter 173 Nagasaki Motoyo, I'm going to kill you.

Death and bloodshed were commonplace for them.

Even if you feel nauseous or even vomit at night the first time you see it, you'll gradually get used to it and it'll be just like that.

The only problem is that these things were tainted a bit this time.

After chatting for a while, Xiangzi noticed that Su Shi was still kneeling there.

Actually, it wasn't that I just discovered it, but Su Shi saw Xiangzi's expression just now.

She was a little unsure how to face Soyo, like someone having a crazy, childish outburst in an elevator, only to find a group of people outside trying not to laugh.

So she turned her head away.

Don't get involved with me anymore; I don't want you to get hurt again.

I don't deserve your willingness to sacrifice yourself for me. My life is ruined and can never go back to the way it was before. Don't get involved anymore.

The words were already on the tip of my tongue, but what came out was...

"See? If you don't want to die, don't come near me again."

Take a taxi back; this world doesn't belong to you.

Xiangzi took off his broken gloves, pulled out a few Fukuzawa Yukichi banknotes from his keyboard bag, and let them float on Su Shi's lap, just like the Northern Emperor rewarding Shadow Kingdom currency after killing someone in the dark.

She didn't want Su Shi to know that her life was very difficult, and even wanted to appear as if she was enjoying it.

Whether it was a competitive spirit or arrogance, Xiangzi had this kind of persistence.

Su Shi hadn't yet recovered from the ups and downs of Xiangzi dying to save her, only to miraculously revive, when she witnessed Xiangzi's actions.

Her hands frantically grasped at the falling banknotes, but she quickly realized that wasn't what she should be grabbing.

She scattered the banknotes and grabbed Xiangzi's hand.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Xiang! I... thank you for protecting me, Xiao Xiang!"

I don't know what happened to you, but please let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

I'll do anything to help you!

I know! You always have your reasons...

Hearing that she could do anything, Xiangzi frowned. She was already getting annoyed and turned to look at Su Shi, who was kneeling and clutching her.

She now dislikes Su Shi somewhat, not because she dislikes her as a person, but because of her personality.

He tried everything he could to get her to leave, to get her away from this dangerous place, but she seemed not to understand and kept moving closer to him.

She can do everything? But what can an ordinary person like her do to help herself?

Not to mention her, even the Toyokawa Zaibatsu couldn't offer any help.

She wanted to coldly question her about what a mere student from the first year could possibly accomplish.

But I had tried to be indifferent to her before, but she still blindly followed me like a moth to a flame.

So Xiangzi simply gave up thinking and let his thoughts control him.

Xiangzi turned his head and gently pulled Nagasaki Motoyo free from her restraints.

He reached out and grabbed Soyo's chin with one hand, then placed the small scythe against her collar with the other, using the back of the blade to gently lift Soyo's flaxen hair.

He bent down so that Su Shi could see his eyes behind the mask.

"Nagasaki Motoyo, since you still don't understand no matter how many times I say it."

Then just remember one thing: whether you follow me, bump into me by chance, or something else, if I ever see you again...

I'll kill you.

Feeling the force of his chin, he couldn't turn his head away.

With the scythe that had previously slain the monster so close at hand, and the smell of blood filling her nostrils, Nagasaki Motoyo trembled again, her tearful pupils shimmering as she tried to find a trace of tenderness in the other's eyes.

But those golden eyes held only determination and confusion.

"I……"

She wanted to speak, but couldn't.

Xiangzi let go of his hand and didn't look back.

A few minutes later, Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her head, picked up her small bag, took the money, and quickly left. The place where she had left her phone was now a scene of carnage, and she didn't dare to go back to pick it up.

Wait until Su Shi leaves.

Kazuma couldn't help but let out a sound: "Pfft!"

Kirito couldn't bear to look and turned his head away.

Kerry, on the other hand, stopped pretending altogether.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Kerry's laughter, Xiangzi gritted his teeth, feeling an urge to rush up and slash Kerry with copper wire.

Since no one is going to die anyway, it's not a big deal if someone digs out a heart or liver while we're fooling around.

"Alright, let's hurry up and look around the area to see if there are any more of these things. We don't want them to come out and harm people."

Xiangzi was the first to walk to the side.

However, after taking a few steps, she noticed that the group of people were still looking at each other with expressions of suppressing laughter, and she became a little anxious.

"Hurry up!"

……

The group wandered around for a bit, but nothing happened outside the park, so they set their sights on the nature reserve.

The Metropolitan Police Department will likely have a headache tomorrow with these bodies on the ground, since they look like they've been dead for quite some time.

Kerry, on the other hand, was thinking of going to the village chief to see if he could use his connections to get the whole area temporarily closed. This damn park had some kind of zombie on the ground and monsters in the sea, and it was still open to the public!

Kirito shook his head after hearing Kerry's idea.

"I reckon the Metropolitan Police Department will come and seal off the area tomorrow. Any wealthy tourists who find out what's happening downstairs won't hesitate to move to another place."

Kerry thought Kirito was right.

Then Kazuma started planning his strategy again.

“Our underwater combat capabilities are indeed a bit weak. Apart from Kree, everyone else probably needs to wear oxygen masks. Moreover, both our visibility and attack methods are problematic. Even if we injure that monster, we might not be able to kill it. Sigh... We can't catch fish, and can any of you swim?”

Kerry and Kirito nodded, while Shoko shook her head.

"Speaking of which, diving and swimming are different, let alone underwater combat."

Kirito shook his head in distress.

"How about we see if we can bring in a whaling ship and try out the whaling cannons?"

Kazuma proposed a solution that seemed somewhat useful, but was not very feasible.

The group was at a loss.

"Speaking of which..."

Kirito suddenly frowned.

"Don't you find it strange? I remember when we were patrolling here during the day, there should have been a separate Metropolitan Police Department precinct here, but even with all this commotion, we haven't seen any police officers patrolling."

"Those civil servants are probably all asleep."

Kazuma, on the other hand, didn't think it was a big deal.

However, Kirito still frowned, feeling something was off.

Moreover, these zombies and the things in the sea don't seem to have anything to do with his sister's friend's affairs.
