Aoki High School.

"Ding-dong ding-dong~~~"

As the school bell rang, students in blue and white school uniforms walked out of the classroom one after another.

The setting sun cast a warm glow through the sycamore trees, and the golden afterglow painted the playground with a soft hue. Laughter and lively conversation briefly filled the campus.

The voices in the corridor faded away, and the classroom door was slowly closed by the teacher on duty.

As the last student walked out of the school gate, the campus gradually returned to tranquility, and night began to fall.

An invisible black miasma spread from the ground, reaching all the way to the middle floors of the teaching building, where a huge, purple-bodied monster perched atop two buildings.

It resembles a giant caterpillar, with each segment of flesh bulging and smooth, and protruding antennae on its limbs, exhibiting an incredible suppleness.

"Waaaaah—"

It was crying.

Countless eyes, like densely packed dots, wriggled their heads, approaching the white figure standing on the ground.

"Waaaaah—I didn't do anything to you, why are you torturing me like this?!"

The monster's roar was deafening, shaking the surrounding air, while the white-haired boy merely tilted his head slightly, his white hair flying in the air.

He stood ramrod straight, one hand in the pocket of his hoodie, the other holding a black cat that was leisurely licking its hind legs.

He lifted his snow-white eyelashes and looked at the monster.

His dark eyes held no pity, no anger, and not even any excitement for the battle.

"Peace is of utmost importance. I already greeted you very politely last time."

But the monster heard this.

Instead, they looked at him with an utterly absurd gaze.

The wind swept up a few withered leaves from the ground.

The boy's voice was clear and sharp, carrying an imposing aura that even he himself was unaware of:

"Perhaps you don't remember, so let me ask again: Are you willing to be devoured by me, acknowledge me as your master, share life and death with me, and jointly shoulder the responsibility of protecting the peace of Earth?"

The air suddenly became eerily still.

The reinforced concrete between the buildings emitted a chilling groan as the monster squeezed them.

"How dare you treat me with such contempt..."

"?"

"You scoundrel!!!"

It suddenly twisted its body violently, revealing a ring of sharp teeth in its mouth, and lunged at the boy.

At the same time, it sprayed out black corrosive acid.

The boy finally frowned slightly: "I didn't mean to belittle you, so why does everyone say that?"

He stood still, without moving an inch, when suddenly a huge and exaggerated black cat-like body rose up from beneath his feet, like a balloon that had been suddenly inflated, at least three times the size of the monster.

With a single slap of a cat's paw, the monster was pinned to the ground with overwhelming power.

The boy was lifted atop the black cat's head, his clothes and hat fluttering in the night wind.

This black cat was a different kind of cat he had devoured when he was ten years old.

It was only the size of a desk at the time.

Regarding the increasing number of mutated parasites due to mutual cannibalism, his view is that instead of competing to see who can devour the most, one should obtain a license to raise parasites.

The air was filled with a sour, nauseating stench.

The boy bent a finger and placed it in front of his nose.

The cat lowered its head respectfully: "Master, I'm so sorry, the smell bothered you."

"It's okay."

The boy swung his arm back and grasped a purple longsword in his hand. A strange, eerie green eye was embedded in the hilt of the sword, and the eyeball swung excitedly from side to side, bursting with murderous intent.

The boy asked the monster again, "I'll ask you one more time, are you willing to be devoured by me? Just like them?"

"They" refers to the black cat and the purple sword in his hand.

The monster didn't even have a chance to launch an attack. It twisted its body and knocked the building askew, as if it was filled with anger and resentment towards the city even in its dying moments.

"No--!!"

The boy raised his sword high, a fierce sword intent surging forth, his eyes filled with confusion: "Why, you are just living in my body in another way?"

"No, no, no—!!"

The monster screamed again, and the sword cleaved down, separating its head from its body, the large chunks of flesh breaking into pieces.

The edges of the meat chunks, like burnt paper, turned to ashes.

The poisonous miasma in the campus dissipated, and everything returned to its original tranquility.

Xia Mu leaped to the ground.

His dark eyes were completely still, as if he regarded everything as a boring performance.

"You weren't killed by me, but by the sword of Damocles hanging over your head," he said softly.

The pleasant sounds were carried by the wind, swirling around the campus.

Xia Mu found it strange, as it seemed that not all parasites had attended kindergarten like him.

They were unaware of the saying, "With great power comes great responsibility."

The black cat shrunk to a miniature size and jumped onto his left shoulder: "Master, it probably just didn't finish what it was saying."

Xia Mu was startled and turned to look at the monster, which was still burning and whose dense insect-like eyes were frantically weeping.

The black cat said, "In general, multiple negations in Chinese can indicate affirmation. When it says 'no, no, no,' it means it wants you to stop."

"..."

Xia Mu immediately turned his head to the side and walked towards the teaching building that was tilted at nearly 45 degrees.

"We need to repair this building, um... otherwise, the higher-ups will give Uncle Jiang another yellow card warning."

He walked and talked, awkwardly changing the subject, but his earlobes flushed a light pink.

The black cat's tail swayed behind it.

Xia Mu walked to a corner of the building, where he had one hand pressed against the left wall and the other hand pressed against the right wall.

The seemingly thin and tall body unleashed terrifying power, crushing the wall bricks and sending dust and rubble falling to the ground.

Several birds perched on the roof were startled and flew away.

The colossal building, trembling and shaking, slowly returned to its upright position.

Xia Mu loosened his grip on the wall, took two steps back, and showed no sign of fatigue in his eyes.

He stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the building in front of him, and gently exhaled.

"boom--!!"

The building, which had just been straightened, collapsed even more severely, sending rubble and steel bars flying, turning it into a devastating ruin.

Natsuki and the black cat quietly witnessed this scene.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air itself stood still.

A moment later, Xia Mu skillfully took out his phone and blocked a series of police officers in his contacts: "Looks like we're going to have to run away again."

Black Cat: "We can't run away, we'll be arrested."

Xia Mu: "Escaped to another province."

Black Cat: "Oh, that's even better, we'll be wanted."

Natsuki: "..."
