"Hey! What are you doing! That's..."

The agents were horrified and tried to stop them, but Goto Ichiri was faster.

"Crack!"

I can't bite it! This red rope is made of some kind of material, it's incredibly tough, and it almost broke Boqi's teeth.

"Waaaah... I can't bite it off..."

Goto Ichiri was sweating profusely with anxiety when she suddenly remembered something and pulled out a pair of diagonal pliers that she usually used to cut guitar strings from her pocket!

"Snap!"

The sharp diagonal pliers were aimed at the red rope and cut it hard!

A blinding white light flashed by.

"Bang!"

Kuroe Minoru's figure instantly appeared on the spot!

"Hmm... what's going on?"

Kuroe Minoru hadn't even had time to clench his fist. He remembered receiving a warning from the system and preparing to retaliate...

No, I need to transform first!

However, in just a moment, almost the instant Kuroe made his decision, the ground beneath his feet cracked open again!

"Whoosh—!"

The long red tongue shot out again, wrapping around him with lightning speed.

"Whoosh—!" A flash of white light.

"Clatter".

Kuroe Minoru, after a second attempt, once again turned into an acrylic standee and fell to the ground.

"..."

Goto Ichiri reacted quickly, scooping up the standee from the ground and pulling it into his arms.

"You idiot! I've already said it, how can it be yours if it doesn't become a token?"

"I don't care!"

Goto Ichiri was no longer socially anxious at this moment. She didn't know where she got the courage, but she raised the diagonal pliers in her hand and cut the red rope on the standee!

"Whoosh—!"

Kuroe Minoru suddenly reappeared in the same spot.

"Damn it! You bunch of people—"

"Whoosh—!"

A red tongue popped out.

"Whoosh—!"

A flash of white light.

"Clatter".

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

This time, the lead agent did not give Goto Ichiri another chance.

He flashed and snatched the standee from the ground into his own hand.

"Hey, you filthy human, if you keep acting so unreasonably, I'll kill you too!"

The leader of the sugar men looked at Goto Ichiri with a flash of extreme impatience and violence in his eyes.

He didn't kill her. He'd only spared her life because things hadn't gone too badly between them these past two days, and now that his mission was complete.

But if she wants to stop them from completing their mission, then she shouldn't blame them for disregarding the past!

"Give it back to me! Give Kuroe back to me!"

Goto Ichiri cried out, charging forward recklessly like an enraged little beast, trying to grab the standee from the agent's hand.

"What a shameless, low-class creature."

The lead agent snorted and kicked Goto Ichiri to the ground.

Looking at the pink-haired girl lying on the ground, still desperately reaching out to him, a cruel, sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth beneath the agent mask.

"Since you really don't want him to become a signboard, then I'll be merciful and grant your wish."

As he spoke, the lead agent grasped the acrylic standee with both hands.

"No...no...no!!!"

Goto Ichiri seemed to realize something, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out sharply in the silent ruins.

The acrylic standee that represented a vibrant life was broken in two by the agents!

Here, take it back.

The agent tossed the two broken pieces of the signboard in front of Goto Ichiri as if it were trash.

"No...no...you're kidding, right..."

Goto Ichiri stared blankly at the two broken pieces of acrylic that had fallen into his hands.

On the standee, the boy's handsome face was cut off and could never be pieced back together.

"Ah...ah ah..."

A meaningless, hoarse sound escaped Goto Ichiri's throat as she carefully cradled the two pieces of the standee in her trembling hands.

Tears flowed like a burst dam, gushing from his eyes and splattering onto the broken signboard.

She killed Hei Jiang.

He was alive and well, with a bright future ahead of him...

It was because of her greed.

She tricked Hei Jiang into coming here so they could kill him because she wanted to have him all to herself.

Self-blame, despair, and regret instantly crushed Goto Ichiri's spirit.

She clung tightly to the two broken pieces of the signboard, curled up on the ground, and let out a mournful cry.

"Kuroe-kun... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"I will... commit suicide to atone for my sins..."

……

"???"

"My clone died? Really?"

at the same time.

Outside the main gate of Wuhan University, there is a tree-lined path that is rarely visited by people.

Kuroe Minoru, who was resting against a tree trunk with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes in astonishment when he sensed the message that his clone had "died."

Dude, how did you die?

Although the clones created by [Clone Descent] only have half the power of his original body.

But his current physical attributes are a whopping 120 points! Even if it's only half that, it's still a terrifying 60 points!

Ordinary monsters can't even break through the clone's defenses.

What's more, before he left, Dongxue bound a Doubao AI version of the system to him. With so many factors combined, he was still killed in the end.

Are you kidding me?

Kuroe touched his chin.

Actually, this afternoon when I received a text message from Goto Ichiri...

Not only did Kuroe Minoru feel something was wrong, but Fuyuki in his mind also immediately issued a red warning: "Extremely Dangerous: Ambush/Deception".

Kuroe Minoru guessed at the time, how could someone with Pochi's socially awkward personality, who even stutters when talking to a convenience store cashier, suddenly send out such an invitation text message?

She was definitely being used by the monster.

Then, coincidentally, he wanted to try whether he could use the clone card without transforming into Night Rider.

The result was that it really worked.

He successfully created a clone to step on the landmines in his place, while his original body stood guard outside the campus, ready to provide support at any time.

However, this clone died before it even got off to a successful mission.

Moreover, they died silently, without even having a chance to send out a distress signal, and without even seeing what kind of monster killed them.

I was entangled by something... then a flash of white light... and then I lost consciousness with a snap?

Kuroe shook his head. There was no time to think about that now. He should go over there and see what was going on.
