Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

"That's great... This outfit seems to save me a lot of effort..."

In Mana's eyes, Shikimori Kaede's image at this time, combined with the words he muttered, directly magnified his perverted image to the extreme. Even though Mana had prepared for death, she was not prepared to be humiliated.

She quickly took two steps back, took out her lightsaber and pointed it at Shi Shoufeng.

"You pervert! If you dare to touch me, I will kill you!"

Chapter 150: Pervert! Lolita control!

At this moment, the sky seemed to become gloomy, the light was dim and depressing, and a lightsaber emitting a sharp cold light hung in the air, like the scythe of the god of death, pressing towards Shi Shoufeng's vital points step by step.

The sharp edge of the lightsaber almost cut the air and pointed directly at Shiki Shoufeng's throat. The difference between life and death was only a hair's breadth away.

However, Shiki Morifeng's expression was unusually calm, as if what was in front of him was not a sharp blade that decided life and death, but just a slight breeze. His eyes passed through the crisis in front of him and locked onto Mana.

Without hesitation, he gradually shortened the distance between him and Mana.

There seemed to be a wildfire burning deep in Shi Shoufeng's eyes. The light was fierce and blazing, like a hungry wolf in the wilderness, its greed for its prey was clearly revealed.

"I sincerely suggest that you should follow my advice."

Shikimori Kaede said as he approached.

"In my heart, I don't want to involve any innocent people, but when faced with those who don't know when to advance or retreat, and who don't know right from wrong, I can only regard them as stumbling blocks on the road to the end. As for obstacles, I only have one way - to completely eliminate them, to play with them, and then to destroy them."

With another step forward, Mana's cold lightsaber finally touched Shikimori's neck. The blade was as sharp as a razor, and it penetrated the skin with a light touch, leaving a tiny and clear blood mark.

Blood slowly flowed out from the tiny wound, and drops of blood hit the hard ground, making a dull yet crisp sound.

"Come on, don't hesitate. If you still have a trace of unwillingness in your heart and want to continue to disobey what I said, then this is the only chance I give you."

There was a strange calmness in Shikishoufeng's voice.

"As long as this sword goes a little deeper and pierces me directly, my life will be in your hands forever. At that time, whether you continue to chase me or escape, all your wishes will be fulfilled. Come on..."

After saying this, Shi Shoufeng slowly closed his deep eyes, and the expression on his face was unusually calm, as if everything that was about to happen had nothing to do with him, and there was no sign of wanting to struggle or take back his promise.

His attitude was like the hardest ice in winter, solidifying the air around him.

Mana stood there in a daze, her gaze fixed on Shiki Morikaze. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and complex emotions.

The blood drops that slowly slid down Shikimori's neck to the lightsaber and then dripped to the ground were like sad and beautiful rubies, beating out a heart-pounding melody in this silent space. Every sound of them hitting the ground tugged at Mana's heartstrings, making her feel an indescribable pain.

Her hands began to tremble slightly without her noticing, and the subtle vibration spread from her fingertips to her entire arms, like ripples caused by a breeze blowing across the surface of a lake.

This trembling was not only due to the inner horror, but also a deep fear caused by the inability to bear the scene before his eyes.

In her rational mind, Mana clearly knew that Shikimori Kaede was an elf and that she should have eliminated him. But at this moment, seeing him look like an ordinary person, the boundaries in Mana's mind began to blur. Her perception of racial differences and the reality of the scene produced a violent conflict, causing her to feel unprecedented panic and helplessness.

"Are you...are you crazy?!"

Mana's voice broke out in a trembling voice with a hint of hysteria. This question contained not only anger and confusion, but also deep heartache and helplessness.

She could not imagine that a person - no, an elf - could be so determined to pay such a heavy price for a certain purpose or belief.

This sudden shock came like a surging tide, causing her hands to tremble violently and she could hardly control every muscle in her body.

The lightsaber in his hand thus lost the support of the master's will, and its power gradually dissipated. The last remaining ray of light also quietly went out, accompanied by a crisp and heavy bang, and fell powerlessly to the dust, making a dull echo on the cold ground, as if lamenting this unfinished battle.

"You lunatic... lunatic! lunatic!!"

Mana's voice was mixed with despair and anger, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting through the heavy air.

Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, almost using up her last bit of strength. The surroundings seemed to become quiet in an instant, with only her heavy breathing remaining.

In her eyes, there was both unwillingness to confront and deep confusion and struggle, just like the brightest star in the night sky obscured by dark clouds, flickering with a flickering light.

After Shiki Shoufeng finished speaking, he slowly opened his deep eyes, revealing complex emotions.

He looked at Mana who was kneeling in front of him. Her almost collapsed posture touched the softest part of his heart.

Almost instinctively, he raised his hand and gently placed it on Mana's head. The warmth and comfort he felt was like the warm sunshine in spring, trying to penetrate the layers of haze and give her a little comfort.

"Man, you have to understand that I never have any ill will towards you."

Shiki Shoufeng's voice was very gentle.

"In my eyes, you are a good kid who deserves my pride. You are not only my partner, but also my own sister. I have never thought of hurting you. But in this world, I have responsibilities that I must shoulder and missions that I must complete. So, please don't become an obstacle on my way forward, okay?"

Mana looked up at Shi Shoufeng absentmindedly, her eyes filled with confusion.

It was difficult for her to merge the gentle, older brother-like person in front of her with the arrogant and domineering pervert who didn't take her seriously at all.

but...

His hands are so warm...

His voice is so gentle.

This made Mana lose all the fighting spirit to continue to stick to his opinion.

She stood up silently and walked towards the stairs.

When she reached the stairs, Mana stopped and looked back at Shikimori Kaede who was looking at her silently.

"If one day you cause destruction to this world... then I will kill you with my own hands."

Shi Shoufeng just smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Ah... If there comes a day like that, I will kill myself too. After staying here for a long time, I have come to like this world. If I hadn't come to this world, how would I have met a 'sister' as easy to amuse as you?"

Upon hearing this, Mana's pretty face immediately turned red, and the slight emotion that had just arisen quickly dissipated with the wind, and soon a strange feeling of shame and anger occupied her heart.

"You really are a pervert! A lolita complex! Ugh!"

After saying that, Mana ran down the stairs and completely left the battlefield.

Chapter 151 Oh My, I Heard It All

Shiki Shoufeng stood on the edge of the dilapidated rooftop, his eyes fixed on the figure that gradually disappeared at the corner of the street in the distance - Mana. He slowly withdrew his complicated gaze until her outline completely disappeared from his sight.

"Three...Kuang San..."

Shiki Shoufeng whispered, his voice so soft that it seemed like just a whisper in the wind.

His brows wrinkled inadvertently, and his eyes flashed with not only confusion but also a hint of imperceptible worry.

In his perception, since his appearance, the order of the world seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible force, and he was the observer at the center of this vortex.

No...it should be said that he is the destroyer.

The meaningful words of the dress Kurumi echoed in his mind.

"This is 'her' goal... 'She'... Who is 'she'?"

A feeling of powerlessness surged in Shiki Shoufeng's heart. This question was like a mystery without an answer, making him feel anxious and helpless.

The unknown "she" seemed like a giant beast hidden in the fog, quietly watching everything and waiting for the opportunity.

However, for these questions that were beyond his understanding, Shi Shoufeng chose to temporarily suppress his anxiety and curiosity.

The system remained silent as always, without giving any instructions or warnings, which meant that no matter the wheel of fate or the intersection of time and space, everything was still unfolding silently and had not yet reached the end.

The silent peace was a comfort to him.

Perhaps, the three Kuangsamunes in front of him were just chess pieces that led him towards the unknown yet destined finale.

Having made the decision, Shiki Shoufeng's actions became decisive.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then the powerful force from the fire demon began to surge in his body. Almost in an instant, his body lightly rose into the air and turned into a stream of flaming light, cutting through the tranquil blue sky.

In the air, he slightly spread his arms, and the heat waves and magical fluctuations surrounding his body intertwined into an invisible net, capturing every faint magical fluctuation around him.

After a moment, Shi Shoufeng's eyes lit up slightly, obviously catching a certain direction.

Without any hesitation, he adjusted his body and rushed towards the destination like a meteor.

As his figure gradually faded away, only a brilliant trail was left behind.

And the other side.

Shikimori Kaede hasn't arrived yet, but eye-patch-wearing Kurumi has already been trapped in a cage made of shadows.

The school-uniformed Kuang San sat leisurely on the bench, her legs lightly crossed, playing with a piece of grass she had picked up accidentally in her hand.

Her eyes nonchalantly lingered on the school-uniformed Kurumi standing not far away, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a slightly playful smile.

"Number One, it's really surprising that you would agree to participate in this game so readily. I guess you must have some plan in mind, right?"

Her voice is like a melodious wind chime, clear and pleasant to the ears, but it cannot conceal the charm within it. This can be considered as the difference nurtured by Shi Shoufeng.

Hearing the voice, Kuang San in formal wear turned her head slightly, her deep eyes narrowed slightly, showing her understanding of her companions, as well as a subtle alertness.

"Humph, do you think I don't know your little calculations? From what I know about you, you won't be easily influenced by anyone. You must have your reasons. After all, although we have the same origin, we are also independent, aren't we?"

Hearing this, the school uniform Kuang San laughed even more happily, and her silver bell-like laughter resounded in the quiet air, carrying an indescribable charm.

"Oh, No. 1, you are still so sharp. Yes, we are two sides of the same coin, sharing the same memories and emotions. But in the final analysis, isn't everything I do derived from our common nature? Immersed in that intoxicating tranquility every day until my consciousness blurs, this kind of temptation, even you have experienced it before, right? But in comparison, I seem to be more addicted, enjoying that incomparable comfort, sinking again and again, never tired of it~"

Her words revealed a subtle satisfaction and greed. Shi Shoufeng's words flowed between her lips and teeth, containing complex and unspeakable emotions and deep attachment.

"You're too obsessed, Three."

The dress-wearing Kuang San looked calmly at the school uniform Kuang San and said in a deep voice.

"Don't forget, the reason why 'she' asked us to be here was to confirm whether Shiki Shoufeng would be a threat. You don't look like you are carrying out the mission at all now."

"Hmm~Is that so?"

The school uniform Kuang San nodded her lips and slightly raised her head to look at the dress Kuang San.

"Am I not on a mission now? I am with Shiki Shoufeng every day. Among all of us, I am the only one who knows his age and size the best, right?"

“…”

Faced with the slightly playful remarks made by the school uniformed Kurumi, the dress-clad Kurumi couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of helplessness in her heart.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, her lips slightly opened, as if she had thousands of words to say, but in the end it only turned into a soft sound.

"you..."

In this delicate and tense atmosphere, Shiki Shoufeng stood silently behind the formal dress Kuang San like a shadow, and his sudden appearance seemed to shake even the dust in the air. He spoke slowly, his voice was soft and with a hint of imperceptible teasing.

"Actually, I'm also very curious, who is this 'she' you mentioned?"

These abrupt words made the dress-wearing Kuang San's heart tighten suddenly. An indescribable sense of crisis instantly surged into her heart like a cold current, hitting the top of her head.

She swiftly took two steps to the side, her eyes fixed on the smiling and seemingly harmless Shi Shoufeng, and she was on full alert, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"You, when did you get here?"

The dress-wearing Kurumi's voice could not conceal her surprise and vigilance.

Upon hearing this, Shiki Shoufeng curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile and tapped his chin lightly with his fingertips, as if he was trying hard to recall.

"Hmm, let me think..."

He thought for a moment in a pretentious manner, then waved his arm and pointed at the school-uniformed Kurumi who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.

"It was probably the moment when she said she never got tired of it, right?"

When the school uniformed Kuang San heard the sound, her laughter became as clear as a silver bell, a laugh without the slightest hint of shyness.

"Oh, that's so annoying~ If you heard everything, even someone like me would feel a little embarrassed~"

After she finished speaking, her cheeks did not blush at all, and her coy look did not show that she was shy at all.

When the formal wear Kuang San saw this scene, anger appeared on her face and she spoke harshly.

"You! You knew he was nearby, but you still deliberately asked him questions?! Have you forgotten our own position and responsibilities?!"

The school uniformed Kurumi simply placed her index finger in front of her lips, silencing her, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

"Hush... According to your logic, all I did was speed up the progress of the plan. What's wrong with that?"

Chapter 152 Lying will be punished

The school uniformed Kurumi approached the formal suited Kurumi with a weird and arrogant smile.

"Feng, I feel like she has some ideas as well. Why don't you favor number one before dealing with number two?"

Looking at the two people moving forward and backward, Shi Shoufeng had a slightly strange expression on his face.
