So what if they're discovered? With her and Kotegawa's strength, taking down this group will be a piece of cake!

She gently pressed down on the hilt of the knife, her murderous intent rising.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected; Kotegawa Kami's "stealth" went exceptionally smoothly!

Even though he had already touched the car, no one noticed him!

She looked at Kotegawa Kami, who was starting to pry open the car door, and her eyes showed disbelief. Could these people really be a bunch of idiots?

Kotegawa Kami waved to her.

She hesitated for a moment, then lunged forward with agile movements. Her long, powerful legs were slightly bent, and with a forward roll, she was in front of Kotekawa Kamiki in an instant, without even disturbing a single fallen leaf.

Kotegawa Kami clapped his hands silently and gave a thumbs up: "Great skill!"

Hu Tao ignored him, her gaze fixed on the group of middle-aged men sitting around the campfire, trying to figure out who these enemies were.

Kotegawa pointed into the car and asked, "Is that a communication device?"

Hu Tao took a closer look and nodded slightly: "It's a mobile signal transmitter, with a coverage area estimated to be within three kilometers, and it also has a recorder."

"A recorder? It can record video?" Kotegawa was taken aback, his eyebrows lowering considerably.

When he left with Miss Ghost last night, he didn't check her car.

"Should we smash it?" Walnut asked softly.

"You go and remove the dashcam, I'll take care of them," Kotekawa Kamimi said, pointing to a few people.

"Let's do it together, the sooner the better! Don't let the word get out." Hu Tao's eyes were calm.

Seeing her reaction, Kotekawa Kamimi was slightly taken aback: "You've killed someone?"

"Assassination specialization, what do you think?" Hu Tao retorted, "Aren't you scared? I've killed people before."

Kami Kotegawa said with relief, "Since they haven't killed anyone, I'll take care of them. You remove the recording device first, and don't leave any traces."

Hu Tao was taken aback, unsure where she had given herself away. She frowned and disagreed, saying, "But with so many people, are you really capable of handling it?"

"Absolutely, my infiltration ability is Ax."

"..."

The two split up. Shirakawa Kurumi frowned, put on thin plastic gloves, and gently opened the car door. Her eyes quickly scanned the car, and she reached out with her katana to dig out the dashcam. She continued to check the car and, after confirming that there were no other cameras, she moved on to the second car.

Seeing that Kami Kotekawa didn't act immediately, he waited for Kurumi to remove the dashcams from the two cars in the middle. Now he was certain that each car had one, so he was very likely exposed last night.

"I was careless after all. I didn't activate Nightmare last night." He looked at the group of people sitting in the front of the car eating canned food and sighed slightly. "Looks like I have no choice but to find all of you."

The demolition in Walnut Village went smoothly.

Kami Kotekawa also started to move, casually walking over to stretch his wrists.

Hu Tao, who had been keeping a close eye on the commotion, nearly fainted from anger.

Is this what they call infiltration?

However, Kotekawa Kamimi gathered his energy in his dantian, got into a fighting stance, first slowly exhaled, and then unleashed a barrage of punches.

The six people who were eating canned food together all fainted without saying a word. One of the unlucky ones even fell headfirst into the fire, and his flowing hair instantly turned to dust.

When Kotegawa Kamimi helped him put out the fire, it was exactly the same as shooting a target, because they were already immersed in their "wonderful dream" and couldn't extricate themselves.

The reason for this extra step was to take care of Hu Tao's feelings. If he were too direct, she might not be able to accept it and might even mistakenly think he was a monster.

Hu Tao was completely dumbfounded.

What the heck? They touched you right behind your back, and you didn't even notice?

Could it be true, as Kotegawa said, that his infiltration ability is really super strong?

She couldn't accept it for a while.

Kami Kotegawa turned around and asked, "Have they all been demolished?"

She nodded silently and threw all the disassembled recorders, microphones, and other equipment into the campfire, where thick black smoke billowed up.

They both looked up at it for a while.

Hu Tao asked, "What do we do now?"

Kami Kotekawa crouched down, patted the men on the shoulder, pulled out several walkie-talkies, and said after a moment's thought, "Let's go, listen to their channels, and get closer to them."

"And what about these people?"

"Just leave it here. I know what I'm doing. It won't wake up until it's had eight hours of sleep."

"So you're just going to let them go so easily?"

"Find the person first, then settle the score."

The two ran deeper into the woods. With the headlights of the cars illuminating the way, the path was easier to walk. However, as they went deeper, the leaves overhead blocked out the moon, and the slivers of moonlight could not illuminate the ground at all.

Wild grass covered the ground, the air was misty, and vines climbed and entwined wildly, growing in a terrifyingly lush manner.

Kotekawa suddenly drew his sword and cleaved a long, colorful snake that was about to attack in two. Kurumi, who was shining a flashlight, was startled, but she didn't feel anything at all!

“Turn off the lights, or we’ll be driven crazy by these snakes, insects, and rodents,” said Kotekawa Kami.

"Huh? How are we supposed to travel if the lights are off?"

Kamiko Kote pointed to his head: "Don't worry, my senses are very strong. I can find them even with my eyes closed."

Hu Tao was speechless for a long time, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "I don't have your ability!"

"It's okay, I'll carry you on my back."

Kami Kotekawa crouched down slightly, bending his arms behind his back: "Help me with the sword, and you keep an eye on their walkie-talkies."

"Can it really work?"

"Come up quickly."

"Oh."

She put away the knife and flashlight, then bent down and lay down on top of them.

The young man lifted her up, weighed her in his arms, familiarized himself with the path, and then groped his way deeper into the area as if walking on flat ground.

Seeing that he was going even faster than before, Shirakawa Kurumi couldn't help but say, "You, you slow down, don't fall into the hole."

Kotekawa Kami sniffed and said with a serious look, "Shh, I smell blood."

"Is it the same snake from before?"

"Not that one."

"But apart from the stench of rotting leaves, there was no other smell."

Kamiko Kotekawa pondered for a moment before asking, "Aren't you on your period right now?"

"Of course not!" Hu Tao's cheeks flushed, and she punched him playfully in embarrassment. "That's long gone!"

"Oh, you've been in a bad mood these past few days. I thought..."

"It's all because of anger!" Hu Tao tightened her legs: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get on the road."

Kotekawa Kami lifted her up a bit more, and you really couldn't tell that the flat-chested Kurumi was actually quite well-endowed in other areas.

Just then, a crackling sound came from the walkie-talkie, followed by an exasperated voice: "Damn it! More talismans! Keep chasing! He's injured on his arm, he can't have gone far!"

"Injured?" The two men's expressions darkened simultaneously. Kote Kami twitched his nose, turned around, and charged south.

Hurry! In this environment, if he gets infected, the little priest might end up as a one-armed hero.

Shirakawa Kurumi could only lower her head to prevent oncoming branches or vines from strangling her.

Kotekawa Kami was going all out, focusing all his attention on running wildly with Shirakawa Kurumi on his back, breaking countless tree branches and vines along the way. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so he was a little better off.

And so they quickly discovered a moving area in the woods ahead, almost as bright as day.

He put the walnut down, squinted at it, and said, "Fourteen people! That roughly matches the number of cars!"

"Something's not right!" Shirakawa Kurumi frowned. "We haven't encountered a single ghost, let alone a yokai, on our way here."

"They might have attracted them all?" Kote Kawakami nodded, took out his sword from his scabbard, and said slowly, "Let's deal with these people first, then find him."

Hu Tao took a deep breath, took out a dart from the bag she carried, and whispered, "These are all poisoned. Get closer first. There are many of them, so we'll kill them one by one! Don't hold back!"

Kotekawa Kami looked at her, patted her head, and said softly, "Although it's a good idea, let's save it for when I'm not around. Leave them to me, and you go in that direction. You'll be pretty sure your little brother is hiding there."

"There are fourteen of them! And they have lethal weapons! Most likely guns! One against fourteen? Are you crazy?"

“No matter how powerful a weapon is, it’s just a pile of scrap metal if it can’t hit anything. I’m not a weakling like your brother.” Kotekawa Kami waved his hand: “You brought medicine, right? The smell of blood over there is a bit strong. His condition might be a little bad. Go check on him.”

Hu Tao stared at him intently and whispered, "If... if it really doesn't work out, just run away. I will definitely kill all these bastards."

"They're just a bunch of petty thieves, it's not that serious." Kotekawa Kami waved his hand and raised his sword to touch the moving light source.

Even if you manage to sneak up on one person with a dart, the moment you make a sound, the entire area will be covered by fire, and you'll be guaranteed to die.

While ordinary firearms are useless against Piao Jiang, for a mortal human being, even several lives wouldn't be enough to kill her.

He leaned forward slightly, and his Nightmare Domain instantly spread around him as he shot forward like lightning.

Looks like I didn't cut off enough arms last night!

Shirakawa Kurumi stood silently watching, then crouched slightly and followed behind him, rushing over.

She bit her tongue until it bled, hardening her heart.

"They are all enemies!"

Kotekawa Kami, who was in front of him, turned around in astonishment. In his line of sight, three darts, leaving afterimages, passed by him and then pierced the foreheads of the three people in front of him.

The three screamed in agony, but a few seconds later they collapsed to the ground, their bodies convulsing uncontrollably, clearly struggling to breathe.

He stared blankly, sighing inwardly.

This girl...

A commotion broke out in the opposing crowd, and then everyone raised their guns, aimed at the direction from which the dart had come, and were about to pull the trigger almost without hesitation.

There were still nearly thirty meters to go. At that distance, the effect of [Nightmare] wouldn't be very good, and Kotegawa Kami wouldn't be able to teleport. With such a barrage of bullets, even if he didn't die, Kurumi definitely wouldn't survive.

Three more darts pierced the air, flying away with sharp, short whistling sounds.

Kotekawa Kami suddenly turned around, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "Close your eyes! Take a deep breath!"
