I'm doing abstract animation

Although Miura Yumiko and Yukino Yukinoshita have always had a tense relationship, this is clearly not the time to be petty. After responding, she sat down on the ground and closed her eyes. Her exhaustion was not due to excessive energy consumption, but simply because her brain was processing too much information and was a bit overloaded.

The remaining few exchanged glances and then jumped off the observation deck, which was over 200 meters high.

As they approached the ground, Ruri Gokou disappeared into the shadows, Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama used threads to slow their speed, and Shoko Furumi even extended a pair of illusory wings from her back.

They are currently unable to withstand the impact of falling more than 200 meters without injury, so this is the only way to land.

As soon as they landed, the group rushed towards Akihabara.

The streets were blocked by vehicles, but the people inside had vanished; they'd probably all gone into hiding.

The group jumped on the roof of the car, using the threads shot out by Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama from time to time to avoid obstacles, and soon arrived at the streets of Akihabara.

The once bustling streets were now eerily silent, with traces of blood and numerous corpses remaining on the ground.

Arriving at a corpse, the head of which had been struck by a heavy object, with obvious dents and bloodstains, Yukino Yukinoshita placed her hand on its skin and could even feel a slight warmth.

Her face looked rather grim: "He just died not long ago. I suspect he was struck from behind with a heavy object."

Apart from Komi Shoko, whose expression remained unchanged, the other three looked rather unwell.

Clearly, a riot has also occurred here.

They then examined the other bodies, all of which had been murdered, and some even had knives stuck in their backs.

"This is too strange. Even if such a disaster has occurred, these people shouldn't riot so quickly, right?" Ruri Gokou said with some doubt. "It's true that everyone has darkness in their heart, but it has been suppressed for many years. Even if such a disaster has occurred, it shouldn't erupt immediately, right?"

“It is a bit strange.” Yukino Yukinoshita nodded; she had noticed this before.

These riots developed so quickly that the group set off almost immediately after receiving the call. From the base all the way here, only the time it took for Yukino Yukinoshita to teleport to the base was a little longer; the rest of the trip only took a few minutes.

Considering that there is a delay in receiving the information when they receive the call, it will definitely not exceed two hours.

But within those short two hours, the darkness within everyone's hearts erupted, which is clearly very abnormal.

"Actually, I have a guess..."

P.S.: There will be another chapter later.

A Bizarre and Supernatural City: Chapter Sixty-Eight - Another Self

Akihabara, underground parking lot.

Due to the attack, many areas suffered electrical outages and power outages, leaving the entire underground parking garage in darkness.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Eriri and Sayuri hid behind a corner parking space, with a car parked in front of them.

At this point, both of them were in relatively good condition, except that Xiaobaihe's arm had been grazed by something, leaving a deep cut. The area around the wound was already stained red with blood, and blood was still oozing from it intermittently.

Besides the two of them, there were several other people in the parking space, and upon closer inspection, they were all acquaintances.

Kasumigaoka Utaha huddled to one side with her knees bent, next to Kato Megumi, who had a blank expression, and Yuuki Asuna, who looked bewildered and terrified.

"I'm fine, Eriri." Sayuri smiled weakly. Actually, she was feeling terrible. The excessive blood loss had caused oxygen deprivation in her body, and waves of dizziness washed over her, leaving her completely weak.

She only managed to stay upright and not faint so as not to worry her daughter.

Seeing her mother's pale face, Eriri gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to draw in the air.

"No, Eriri, your priority right now is to conserve your energy."

Seeing her actions, Xiaobaihe became anxious, and even her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

Eriri ignored everything and stubbornly continued drawing in the air. She had never seen her mother so weak before, and she couldn't bear to watch.

Sayuri's voice and movements attracted the attention of the others.

"That's so nice..." Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted, a hint of envy in her eyes: "You can draw whatever you want..."

Eriri quickly finished drawing, and a roll of bandage along with a hemostatic spray fell to the ground out of thin air. Her face suddenly turned pale, and she seemed to have lost a lot of strength, so she sat down on the ground.

"Mom, let me stop the bleeding."

Gritting her teeth, Eriri forced herself to stand up and went to stop Sayuri's bleeding.

"Eri, you..."

"Don't say anything, Mom. I'd rather die than see you suffer!"

After saying those words with unwavering conviction, Eriri silently buried her head in bandaging Eriri's wound.

Seeing her daughter, who was weak but still stubbornly bandaging herself, Xiaobaihe felt a strange sense of emotion.

She still remembers how Eriri was only the size of a palm when she was first born, and now she's grown up so much in the blink of an eye, and she's also... sensible.

Aren't you surprised?

Yuuki Asuna suddenly interjected, "This kind of ability—drawing a few lines out of thin air and then suddenly having something appear—doesn't seem like a normal person's ability, does it?"

A hint of fear crossed her face: "And that monster was like that too..."

"Asuna!"

Kato Megumi, who was usually silent, suddenly shouted: "Eriri is not like that monster!"

Startled by her voice, Asuna Yuuki paused for a moment, then her displeasure visibly deepened: "I'm on your side!"

Are you a child?

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed: "You might be mistaken. The three of us have known each other since elementary school. Strictly speaking, we're actually on the same side."

Yuki Asuna: "..."

She slumped to the ground, sobbing softly, "I...I didn't mean to. I just don't understand. Everything was the same as usual, so how did it suddenly turn out like this..."

"Waaaaah... I want to go home..."

Her sobs sounded extremely abrupt in the dimly lit parking lot, but no one laughed at her because it all happened so suddenly.

Kato Megumi touched the card she had hidden in her jewelry box on her chest, and said calmly, "Don't cry, I will protect you."

"What will you use to protect me? And isn't that strange?"

"I don't even know you well, so why do you always follow me around?"

"If it's because of my cousin whom I haven't seen for ten years, then I still advise you to stay away from me. The biggest connection between us is probably the faint blood ties we share."

Asuna Yuuki was devastated. In less than half a day, she had witnessed a series of events that she rarely even heard of, including the attack on the capital, the collapse of order, infighting, bloodshed, and violence.

Let alone her, any normal person would break down.

"I only came here to buy doujinshi, what's this all about..."

Environment shapes personality. If her father hadn't cheated on her, and her parents had been loving and her family happy, she might now be a perfect young lady with excellent grades and some special talent.

But the reality was that her father cheated on her and disliked her and her brother since childhood. Her parents argued every day, eventually leading to their divorce. Growing up in such a terrible environment, it's a testament to her strong character that she didn't end up as a high school girl who was picked up by someone.

"I owe him an apology, and he wants me to protect you, so I will protect you."

Kato Megumi's voice remained calm, as if nothing could faze her.

"you……"

When Asuna saw her expression, she felt inexplicably calmed down, even though she was about to continue her outburst.

"...I don't need that guy's protection."

Muttering something to herself, Asuna Yuuki hugged her knees and fell silent.

When she quieted down, the small parking space fell silent.

Meanwhile, another parking space not far away.

"Young Miss, please be quiet."

The blonde bombshell frowned and used her hands to forcibly restrain the black-haired girl who was instinctively struggling in pain. With her other hand, she quickly rolled up the bandage and wrapped the wound on the girl's arm tightly in no time.

"Ouch...that hurts, Hayasaka."

Tears welled up in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes as she pouted and complained to the blonde girl, "Couldn't you be a little gentler?"

Hayasaka ignored her and quietly packed up the remaining medical supplies. As a maid and bodyguard, it was perfectly normal for her to carry medical supplies with her.

"Well, without any hemostatic medication, it's better to bandage your wound more tightly."

Hayasaka didn't say anything, but a blond boy next to her offered an explanation.

Kaguya Shinomiya glared at him fiercely: "Shut up."

Shirogane Miyuki shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

The fact that the three of them were here can only be described as a coincidence.

Miyuki Shirogane was working part-time here on the weekend, while Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka were just passing by by car when they unfortunately ran right into the line of fire.

After the violent explosion, the whole city was in chaos, and they fled all the way here to hide.

I wonder how my sister and father are doing...

Biting his lip, Shirogane Miyuki could only turn on his phone again and again, but the blank signal bars forced him to put the phone back each time.

boom!

A loud bang came from the parking space next door, followed by a series of shouts and fighting sounds. Soon, the noise subsided.

All three of them looked numb, having become accustomed to such incidents. In fact, this was at least the fifth fight they had encountered.

In situations like this, just focus on your own safety and don't try to stop it. That's how Kaguya Shinomiya got the wound on her arm.

Da da da……

Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes stomping on the ground rang out.

The three men's expressions changed; the voice was coming from the direction of them!

Hayasaka Ai frowned and pulled a dagger from her thigh. She cautiously peered through the car blocking their way, but the footsteps stopped abruptly the moment she looked out.

It was quiet outside, and there was nothing in the dimly lit parking lot.

no one?

impossible!

Not only did she hear footsteps, but the expressions on Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane's faces were also unmistakable.

But there was nothing outside...

Hayasaka Ai turned her head away, somewhat puzzled.

Da da da……

Her expression changed instantly, and the footsteps sounded again!

Gripping the knife handle tightly, she could even feel the sweat on her palms as she peered out again.

The footsteps disappeared again, and there was still no one outside.

"Something's not right..."

She swallowed hard, turned to Kaguya Shinomiya, and said, "Young lady, wait a moment..."

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Just as she turned her head, footsteps sounded again, and the sound was very close and very urgent!

She turned around abruptly, but there was still... nothing there.

Damn it, is it haunted?!

It's completely deserted outside, there's not even a shroud in sight. Where are those footsteps coming from?!

"Hayasaka..."

Kaguya Shinomiya's trembling, terrified voice rang out behind her.

"Young Miss, don't bother me, the situation is..."

"No, no, it's on my head..."

Top of head?

Hayasaka Ai subconsciously looked up, her expression instantly changing drastically. A dark figure was hanging upside down from the ceiling, watching them and laughing!

Without thinking, she raised her hand and threw the dagger at the dark figure.

"Don't be so violent, Hayasaka-san."
