Gao Wu: After holding back for eighteen years, my words are divine.

Kamiya Hiromi licked his lips, a smile playing on his lips.

"But it's alright."

"The gaze that made me wary just now has disappeared."

"Let's take this opportunity...and have another meal!"

Kamiya Hiroshi sighed inwardly.

He is now the ultimate Frankenstein's monster.

He not only possesses the S-class superpower [Super Mind].

The starving ghost's [devouring].

There's also the "cutting and connecting" feature of the Flathead Ghost.

Furthermore, it's because when Orihara ate Kujo Arashi, she had already evolved into the prototype of a hungry ghost.

Therefore, he also perfectly inherited Kujou Arashi's C-rank ability [Hawkeye]!

This is also why he can instantly perceive his surroundings and calmly dodge the sumo wrestler's pursuit.

"There's food waiting for me..."

Kamiya Hiromi's Eagle Eye instantly locked onto the direction of the locker room.

"There it is! It smells delicious, like flesh and blood..."

hum!

The next second, he used his telekinesis to envelop his entire body, ignoring the roar of the sumo demon behind him, and rushed straight into the locker room!

"Big Brother! We've been discovered!!"

Hideo Ishida shouted as he watched the terrifying figure rapidly approaching.

"I know! Don't panic!"

Sergeant Morishita's eyes were bloodshot as he gripped his twin swords tightly.

Even if it wasn't the starving ghost that ate my brother.

But killing its own kind is also a way of avenging my brother!

"That's exactly what I wanted!!"

The other team members noticed that their team leader was acting strangely.

However, the other party was senior and a direct subordinate of that terrifying village head.

If the team leader dies, they will all have to commit seppuku to atone for their sins when they go back!

"Let's give it our all!!"

"We have no choice but to go for it!!"

Fu Chuan Ao, a member of the team with the B-level superpower [Super Nutritionist], immediately used his signature skill.

"Incredibly nutritious egg!"

He quickly rolled five black eggs that emitted a strong stench onto his body, as if he were rolling balls with his hands!

"Everyone!! Eat this quickly!!"

"It can increase combat power and regeneration ability by 30%! Although the side effect is diarrhea for three days!!"

He threw the eggs to the four people.

As a well-coordinated team, they didn't hesitate at all.

Even if the eggs smell like the smell of a sweaty-footed girl jogging for an hour in boots...

I put my smelly socks in a sauerkraut jar and let them sit until spring, then I swallowed them whole!

"vomit!!"

I forced back my nausea, and a surge of strength coursed through my body!

"Flame Infusion!!"

"I'll lead the charge!!"

A soldier drew his twin swords, his body bursting into flames, and roared as he leaped out of the door, slashing at Kamiya Hiromi flying in from the sky!

"The manipulation!!"

Behind him, another soldier, in order to cover him, actually committed seppuku on the spot!

The blood gushing from his abdomen instantly transformed into countless sharp, blood-red darts, raining down on Kamiya Hironan!

"Nisuchi!!"

"Coughing!"

"Blazing Blood Blade!"

"Let's unleash our exhilarating combo attack!!"

The two were extremely confident.

This combination of Fiery Blood Blade has slain many strange creatures!

however.

Hiroshi Kamiya smiled.

He looked at the two pieces of food that rushed towards him with the same gaze he would give two hopping grasshoppers.

"Ants."

He raised his hand and gently squeezed it.

boom!boom!

There were no signs whatsoever.

The heads of those two soldiers exploded instantly, from the inside out!

Red and white things bloomed in the air.

"What?!"

Sergeant Morishita watched this scene in disbelief.

But as a seasoned veteran, his eyes instantly turned ruthless, and his reaction was extremely fast.

"Korewa... is that a telekinetic attack?!"

"Ishida!! Defense!!"

"Hai!! Big brother!!"

Hideo Ishida slammed his fist on the ground and roared.

"Armor of the Earth!!"

Click click click!

A thick layer of rock armor instantly enveloped the remaining three people, turning them into stone golems.

at the same time.

"Water Release!"

Sergeant Morishita swayed and plunged into the pool of blood left by his comrade's corpse on the ground!

Swish!

The moment that drop of blood flowed behind Kamiya Hiroshi.

Sergeant Morishita reappeared, his katana aimed straight for Hiroshi Kamiya's neck!

"Die!!"

however.

Kamiya Hiromi didn't even turn his head, he just gave a cold laugh.

"You think I couldn't have thought of that?"

"I've witnessed the previous Hungry Ghost's battles before, so I'm well aware of the weaknesses of this ability!"

"All you need to do is anticipate it!"

With a thought, he was about to use his telekinesis to crush Sergeant Morishita behind him.

suddenly!

He saw the other person's lips curl up in a smile.

Boo!

Sergeant Morishita's figure vanished like a burst bubble!

"A water clone?! A feint attack?!"

Kamiya Hiromi was taken aback, realizing he had lost out due to his lack of experience.

"Hmm? I see... I've been tricked."

next moment.

A deadly threat has been unleashed!

Directly in front of him, Hideo Ishida, clad in rock armor, charged forward with his sword drawn!

Above their heads, the real Morishita descended from the sky, his katana slashing down with the force of a thunderbolt!

On the left, nutritionist Tomikawa Aoya drew his dagger, blocking his escape route!

Triangular encirclement and killing formation!

"Die!! You man-eating monster!!"

Sergeant Morishita roared, victory was assured.

puff! !

Three sharp blades simultaneously severed Kamiya Hiroshi's body!

Ishida cuts the waist!

Bucheon's legs were chopped off!

Morishita beheaded!

A perfect double cut in half and decapitation!

Kamiya Hiromi's body instantly split into four pieces, which scattered on the ground.

"We won!!"

The three were overjoyed.

but.

The head of Kamiya Hiromi that had fallen to the ground suddenly laughed.

"They really coordinate very well..."

"Unfortunately... I have this."

next second.

Zizizi! !

Countless fleshy red threads gushed out wildly from the cut in his severed body!

They were intertwined and pulled together as if they were alive!

In the blink of an eye.

The severed limbs were forcibly pulled back and reassembled!

The Flathead Demon's ability: Connect!

"What?!"

The three were shocked, completely unprepared for the fact that their opponent could still survive in such a state!

And in the next second.

"Let's try out my newly developed move!"

With a sudden push from his long, slender legs, Kamiya Konan's body soared into the air.

He spread his arms and unleashed the new ultimate technique he had developed using his super-powerful mind!

"Simultaneously repelling all surrounding air and matter..."

"In other words!"

"Shinra Tensei!!"

boom!!

Centered on Kamiya Hiromi, an invisible repulsive wave instantly erupted!

"puff!!"

The earth armor on Ishida Hideo and Tomikawa Takashi shattered instantly!

He was blasted away!

He was deeply embedded in the concrete wall of the corridor, and was seriously injured and unconscious on the spot, with countless broken bones.

Sergeant Morishita reacted the fastest, but he was still thrown back more than ten meters by the shock.

He slammed hard against the pillar, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he was wearing the Earth Armor, so his internal organs only suffered minor injuries.

"Cough cough..."

Sergeant Morishita struggled to lift his head and look at his teammates inside the wall.

Hideo Ishida slowly extended his blood-soaked hand, his eyes unfocused.

"Big...Big Brother..."

"Run!"

Fu Chuan Ao also looked desperate, mouthing the words.

"Run... help us get revenge..."

As Sergeant Morishita gazed at this scene, his memory seemed to return to the moment just a few days earlier, when they had first arrived at Rose Middle School.

At the time, his twin brother, Sergeant Morishita, said the same thing to him in order to cover his retreat.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Sergeant Morishita let out a furious roar of resentment and gripped his sword tightly.

He looked at Kamiya Hiromi, then at the sumo wrestler running wildly towards him in the distance.

finally.

Reason prevailed over emotion.

Swish!

He transformed into a beam of light once more, plunging into the blood-soaked ground and fleeing madly down the drainpipe.

"What a pity..."

Kamiya Hiromi looked at the escaped rat, shook his head, and did not chase after it.

He turned around and looked at the two figures embedded in the wall, and the two figures on the ground whose heads had just been crushed.

"But... there are the four of you..."

"And that big guy that came knocking on our door..."

That's enough.

Hiroshi Kamiya sneered.

Then, his mouth suddenly opened wide, his jaw dislocated, and he became as huge as Sanae Kurumi!

This is the ability that Sanae Kurumi just digested after absorbing it!

Awoo!

He swallowed the two headless corpses on the ground in one gulp and chewed them twice.

"Pooh."

He spat out two more pieces of tailbone.

"It's hard to chew, I don't like eating this."

……

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the warehouse of the solitary confinement room.

The faceless man picked up the tailbone from the ground.

On its featureless face, the white dotted lines trembled slightly.

"This aura..."

"Is it Lu Shiyan?"

"He's dead? And... all that's left is this bone?"

"Could it have been that starving ghost who did it?"

The faceless man crushed the bones.

"This is troublesome."

"Lu Shiyan is, after all, that person's apprentice."

"If he dies, that person will definitely cause trouble."

"You should proactively inform his teacher, so as not to involve me."

"And...we'll have to talk to him about compensation too."

then.

He took a black talisman from his suit pocket and then lit it.

call!

A ghostly green flame appeared out of thin air.

A male voice devoid of emotion came from it.

"What is it?"

"Your apprentice is dead."

"No-Face said calmly."

"Which apprentice?"

The other person's response was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if it were just a dog that had died.

The faceless man was immediately enraged.

"It's Lu Shiyan!!"

"He's doing some kind of solitary confinement experiment at my school, ruining my school!"

"Now they've released a starving ghost that killed many of my ghost employees!!"

"You have to give me an explanation!!"

"explain?"

The voices within the will-o'-the-wisps remained calm.

"He violated my teachings and was expelled from my school long ago."

"I don't need a fool who gets carried away and loses his mind for the sake of so-called love."

"dusk!!"

The faceless man clenched his fist, unleashing his aura.

"Stop pretending to be so high and mighty!!"

"If you really didn't care about him, would I have tolerated him staying here as a teacher ten years ago?"

"I've put up with him for so long?!"

"Get your ass over here right now!! Stop pretending!!"

"You'll have to deal with the trouble your apprentice caused yourself!!"

"For the sake of us all serving that lord, don't push me to the brink!"

These words were spoken.

The will-o'-the-wisp fell into a brief silence.

After a long while, the voice rang out again.

"I see."

hum!

next second.

The will-o'-the-wisp instantly expanded, transforming into a young man wearing a white coat, with a refined and gloomy demeanor.

This legendary doctor, Huanghun, looks much younger than Lu Shiyan!

"My main body is currently dealing with the Dragon God's relics in the polar ice fields."

"This spiritual clone won't last long."

His tone was indifferent at dusk.

"Take me to see that starving ghost."

"snort!"

The faceless man snorted coldly.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner? Stop talking so much nonsense!"

Then, accompanied by the twilight, it flashed and headed towards the teaching building.

……

Teaching building, atrium.

When the two arrived at the scene.

The scene before them caused their eyes to flicker with emotion.

All I saw was…

In the central courtyard lay a huge skeleton.

A ghost girl dressed in a sailor uniform was lying on top of the pile of bones, burping contentedly.

"Burp~"

"I'll fuck you!!"

The faceless man finally couldn't hold back and swore.

"That's my disciplinary committee chairperson!!"

"I'm going to kill you!!"

It was about to rush forward.

But dusk reached out and stopped it.

"Wait a minute."

At dusk, he looked at Kamiya Hiromi.

"Leave it to me."

"I guarantee you will receive a satisfactory answer."

The faceless man was filled with murderous intent, but seeing the unwavering look in Huang Hun's eyes, he forcibly suppressed it.

"You'd better actually give me some compensation!"

"Otherwise... I'll make you pay on this year's 'Five Days of Destruction'!"

The faceless man's questioning turned into a threat.

Dusk nodded:

"rest assured."

"After this is done, I'll build you a new school."

"More complete facilities, more students."

"A school?"

The faceless man's anger dissipated by half in an instant.

You had better keep your word.

It released its grip, then turned its back to the two and waited.

At dusk, he walked towards Kamiya Hiromi.

At this moment, Kamiya Hiromi also noticed these two terrifying beings.

He sat up from the pile of bones, looked at the young man in the white coat, and tentatively asked.

"You are...Twilight, aren't you?"

"Oh?"

Dusk raised an eyebrow.

"You recognize me? Did you devour the memories of my traitorous disciple?"

Hiromi Kamiya did not deny it, and grinned.

"That's right."

"I ate your disciple, stole his achievements, and destroyed his body."

"Don't you... want to kill me?"

"Kill you?"

Huang Hun shook his head expressionlessly.

"There's no need for that."

"He was a traitor from the start, a failure."

"Even without your help, I still want to clean up my sect."

"Besides, I don't like explanations and nonsense."

Dusk stretched out two fingers.

"Now, I'm giving you two choices, Chosen One."

"One...become my disciple, join the Wild God Society, and take over from that good-for-nothing as my apprentice."

"Two... I killed you here, and I'll take your brain to make a specimen."

He heard that the other party recognized him at a glance.

Instead of being afraid, Kamiya Hiromi became extremely excited.

"Clap clap clap!"

He clapped, his eyes filled with fervor.

"As expected of an ancient monster who has lived for countless years... his insight is truly extraordinary!"

"That idiot Lu Shiyan, instead of clinging to such a good thigh, he went and got involved in some pure love story?"

Kamiya Hironan jumped off the skeleton, straightened his sailor uniform, and respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

"I agree to your request."

"Teacher! I'm willing to join the Aragami-kai!"

"A smart person."

He nodded in satisfaction at dusk.

"Capable of bending and stretching, pragmatic, and ruthless enough."

"You're much better than that idiot."

"Take my hand, and I'll take you somewhere else."

"This place is not suitable for you."

however.

However, Kamiya Hiromi did not immediately reach out.

He looked up, a pleading expression on his face.

"Teacher, please wait a moment."

"I have one more important little thing to do... Please let me finish it before I leave."

"Oh? What is it?"

Hiromi Kamiya licked his lips.

"one person."

"I want to eat him... to gain his power."

"That guy... seems to possess S-rank [Air Manipulation]!"

"S-class air control?"

As dusk fell, he stroked his chin, a look of interest in his eyes.

"That's a rare and good ability; it's worth spending some time on."

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

Then.

He turned to look at the faceless man who was still sulking.

"Help me find someone."

"After this is done, I'll recruit another 100 students for you, real people."

The faceless man didn't turn around; he simply stood with his back to them, extended two fingers, and waved them, speaking in a chilling tone.

"The person you're looking for..."

"He is one of my outstanding students."

"It needs to be doubled."
