What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

However, Luo Cheng seemed to be petrified, frozen in place, unable to utter a single word.

Fortunately, he wasn't into anime and manga culture, nor did he surf the internet often, so he didn't know that the four beautiful girls in front of him were the recently popular Ending Band.

Otherwise, his reaction would have been more than just petrification.

"Tsk..."

Seeing Luo Cheng frozen in place, Chen Xiao had no choice but to take the guitar and bass off his back himself and hand them to Ichiji Hoshika to put in the car.

After finishing, he patted Luo Cheng on the shoulder to bring him back to his senses and asked:

"Luo Cheng, what's with that expression?"

"That look on his face says he's practically ready to take her place! Chen Xiao, can you teach me?! Teach me how to meet so many beautiful girls?! I can do anything!"

Coming to his senses, Luo Cheng grabbed Chen Xiao's clothes and, in an almost pleading tone, asked him to share his experience in picking up girls.

Without kneeling, the performance in this episode is substandard!

"You're so self-centered..."

Although Chen Xiao appeared helpless on the surface, he was secretly thrilled.

Give up! You won't find anime girls like them in real life.

"hateful……"

Looking at Chen Xiao's 'Versailles' expression, Luo Cheng could only grit his teeth and rage helplessly in his heart.

Now he's in the second phase of being both afraid of his brothers suffering and afraid of them driving Land Rovers.

However, when Chen Xiao got into the driver's seat and was about to drive Ichiji Hoshika and the others home, Luo Cheng, who had calmed down a bit, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Chen Xiao, is it really because you've found a boyfriend that you're not going to study at New Star Academy?"

Chen Xiao: ...

This issue is late, but it has arrived.

"While that's part of the reason, the actual situation isn't what you think."

Unlike his previous vague and evasive responses, Chen Xiao finally gave a definite answer this time.

I didn't say anything before because I was worried that someone would spread it around.

But things are different now, because this 'big mouth' has already revealed the truth in the group chat.

This even caused the group chat to explode. (@Ding Jiafang)

"So, which of them is your boyfriend...?"

Luo Cheng wanted to investigate further, but Chen Xiao interrupted him.

"I have no comment on that question."

He then stepped on the gas and drove away.

"No, I'm just asking who my girlfriend is. Why are you being so secretive? It's not like I'm two-timing..."

Looking in the direction the car had gone, Luo Chenghao complained angrily.

the other side.

After returning home, Chen Xiao asked Ichiji Hongxia and the others to go up to the third floor to test the newly purchased musical instruments, while he sat on the sofa and turned on his phone.

It was discovered that Ding Jiafang had created two more groups.

One is a replica of the original class group chat, and the other is a group chat for male classmates without a class monitor and some female classmates.

As the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block. Chen Xiao had been keeping things hidden, which made everyone very worried about him.

it's good now.

After it was discovered that Chen Xiao not only had a girlfriend, but also knew a group of beautiful girls, and even the recently popular End of Band, the group chat was full of people labeling him as a 'class enemy,' and all the previous concern and care turned into denunciations of him.

"Wow, that's a quick change of expression."

Chen Xiao smiled.

Their reaction proves that they are relieved.

Many people, while hurling insults, also tagged him to offer their blessings, reminding him not to forget to invite them to his wedding banquet in the future.

Of course, some people also felt sorry for class monitor Lin Qi.

But relationships are sometimes complicated, and Chen Xiao could only wait for Lin Qi to give her a response.

"Xiao, I heard from Miss Xingge that you ran into your classmates at the mall and let them know a little about what happened. You should be alright, right?"

At that moment, Shiina Mahiru came down from the third floor.

After Chen Xiao decided to vacate the soundproof room on the third floor for the band girls, she went up to the third floor with the black maid Alice to tidy up the room, and that's when she learned about what had just happened from Ichiji Hoshika.

"It's alright~ In fact, it's quieter this way."

Chen Xiao shifted his body on the sofa, found a comfortable sitting position, slumped down, and turned on the TV with the remote control.

Instead of returning to the third floor, Shiina Mahiru naturally sat down next to Chen Xiao.

[Shenzhou] Today's Shanghai News

"The victims who were previously knocked unconscious by attacks from superpowered criminals have now regained their self-awareness and are even able to get out of bed and move around freely."

The reporter on TV said with great delight.

Although the young man in the hospital gown behind her had his face blurred, it was clear that he did not look as haggard as when he had been in a coma.

It was as if they had never been attacked.

"Ah Xiao, those people who were attacked regained consciousness because you intervened, right?"

Shiina Mahiru guessed curiously.

"You could say that."

Chen Xiao nodded.

He had previously thought that once he dealt with the hooded man, the victims would return to normal, but several days had passed and they were still lying in hospital beds, showing no signs of improvement.

Therefore, Chen Xiao specifically asked Black Rock Shooter to look for problems in their impression space, and then discovered that their impression space was full of symbols of pain (human figures).

It was then that he realized the hooded man's ability didn't have a complicated mechanism; it was simply invading dreams and manifesting things in dreams using mental power.

The attacks on those victims were not superpowers, but rather 'purely physical' torture.

This prevented them from waking up.

Or rather, they didn't want to wake up.

So Chen Xiao had Black Rock Shooter eliminate those 'painful' symbols in their memory space.

At this moment, the reporters on television began interviewing the victims.

"I don't know what happened before, it just felt like a dream... I woke up and found myself in the hospital."

Upon hearing the victim's statement, the reporter inquired curiously.

What kind of dream was it?

"Um... please don't laugh at me if I tell you! In my dream, I seemed to see a girl with black hair... wearing pigtails, who looked really cool..."

The victim answered somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh, right! There's a blue flame burning in her eyes!"

Chapter 54 Liu Yaowen: Under Immense Pressure

As news reports have spread, it has been discovered that the victims who had previously fallen into a coma due to crimes committed with superpowers had all dreamed of the Black Rock Shooter.

Furthermore, the higher the mental strength score, the deeper the memory of what one sees in a dream.

At worst, you can only see a glimpse of Black Rock Shooter, while at best you can see her driving a black motorcycle through a hellish space, wielding her sword to slay a group of shadowy figures whose shapes are indistinct.

With each shadow killed, the victim felt a sense of relief.

The moment the last shadowy figure was killed, the person woke up in the hospital bed. Apart from the weakness caused by lying in bed for several days, his spirits were surprisingly good.

I just don't know what happened before I was admitted to the hospital.

"So the victims were unconscious because of those monsters whose appearances were indistinct?"

"Then the monster was killed by the Black Rock Shooter, and the victim, who was originally unconscious, naturally woke up."

"A dark knight who roams through dreams, slaying monsters? That sounds so cool!"

"Dream Dark Knight? Or maybe Black Rock Shooter would be a better name."

"It's decided! From now on, Black Rock Shooter will be my idol!"

"I've been having nightmares lately! Can Black Rock Shooter come into my dreams and cut off my nightmares? (crying)!"

"I heard about the scheme upstairs all the way back in the Republic of Russia."

Black Rock Shooter, which had begun to lose popularity due to the self-disclosure incident of the third young master of the Tang family, has become popular again due to the follow-up of the superpower crime incident.

"So that Black Rock Shooter is really a 'good guy'?"

In the meeting room of the Superpower Crime Countermeasures Team of the Abnormal Events Management Bureau, after reviewing the victim's statement, one of the team members asked curiously.

Although Black Rock Shooter is widely regarded as a righteous superhero on the internet, it is difficult to make a definitive judgment about her from an official perspective.

After all, they didn't even know if the Black Rock Shooter was human, let alone the other beings of the same kind in the Heavenly Elucidator's predictions.

"I don't know, but at least she helped us."

Liu Yaowen, sitting in the main seat, sighed softly.

If Black Rock Shooter hadn't killed those 'shadows,' the authorities would have notified the victims' families in a few days...

Their child could not be saved.

Why do you say that?

Because the hooded man's actions after invading the dream are essentially an attack on the victim's brain.

While it can mentally torment and kill the opponent, it may not achieve the same effect as Nightmare from a certain Infinite Train, which kills the opponent by destroying their mental core.

But the consequences were more agonizing than death.

Although the body is still alive, the spirit is no different from being dead, which is even worse than being in a vegetative state.

This is one of the reasons why the hooded man is so notorious overseas.

"According to the intelligence gathered earlier, the mental health of those who are tortured and killed by Luo Yuan's abilities will be permanently damaged, with no possibility of repair."

Huang Qingque rubbed her temples and explained.

"However, the Black Rock Shooter can repair their minds by killing some kind of 'abstract' entity within them... This is simply incredible!"

The fact that he even uttered words like "unbelievable" shows just how profoundly impacted this event was for this Celestial Master.

In her view, mental damage is essentially equivalent to losing one's soul and spirit, making one no different from a living dead.

If she could be saved like this, then all she could do was shrug and say: What else could I say?

"Yes, according to the instructions from the Administration Headquarters, we should maintain a friendly and wait-and-see attitude towards the existence of the Black Rock Shooter. It would be even better if we could have a friendly exchange and dialogue with it to obtain more information about the 'Great Catastrophe'."

After a moment of silence in the meeting room, Liu Yaowen finally spoke to convey the message from above.

After saying that, he prepared to adjourn the meeting.

"Team leader, about the Gao family..."

At this moment, a group member raised his hand to ask a question.

But before he could finish speaking, Liu Yaowen interrupted him.

"The Gao family is no longer a problem... No, it should be said that from now on, there is no Gao family in Guangdong Province."

The wealthy and powerful Gao family no longer exists.

All they have is a group of debt slaves surnamed Gao.

"oh oh……"

Seeing Liu Yaowen's serious expression, the group member didn't dare to ask any more questions.
