What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

Kanae, who was lurking on the outskirts, keenly sensed that something was wrong with the recipient. A normal person's breathing would never be as steady as his, and the people around him dressed as villagers did not look like good people.

To put it bluntly, they had eyes that had seen blood. They looked at the two truck drivers not as people, but as if they were looking at some fragile object.

"What?! What about the real villagers?"

Shinobu Kocho's face turned angry upon hearing this.

Although her appearance is that of her sister after her death, Shinobu Kocho naturally had no need to pretend while Kanae was still alive, and directly showed her straightforward, competitive and easily angered nature.

"They should still be alive. According to the information provided by Miss Remilia, that vampire needs a lot of fresh blood from living people, and they probably won't kill them until their needs are met."

Although Kanae wore her usual smile, a faint chill emanated from her gentle and soft tone.

Although in the original work, she was kind-hearted and would sympathize with even ghosts, and even on her deathbed she was still sympathizing with ghosts, and even dreamed that humans and ghosts could get along peacefully.

But that doesn't mean she's a non-killer.

Because demons are creatures transformed from humans, Kanae believes that by slaying a demon, she can save the humans that demon might kill in the future and free the demon from the cause and effect of tragedy.

To paraphrase a certain puppet show...

Killing is for the sake of protecting life! Slaying karma, not killing people!

Those who now attempt to harm the villagers, though not yet ghosts, are no different from ghosts in their actions, and must be extricated from the 'cause and effect of tragedy'!

"Shinobu and I will sneak into the village first to see if we can find the imprisoned villagers. Kanao, you stay here and observe the enemies in the village. If there is any unusual activity, fire a signal flare."

Kanae Kocho revealed her plan.

Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri, who were standing beside her, nodded in unison.

Furthermore, the kind of foolish thing that happens in movies and novels where the main characters don't tell their companions when they're about to carry out a secret operation doesn't exist in Kanae and her friends' lives.

"However, before we take action, we need to inform Mitsuri and Moeka first."

As she spoke, she skillfully took out her phone and sent private messages to the two of them, briefly explaining the situation.

You asked where Kanae's phone came from?

And how did she learn to use it?

Of course, that's what I learned while I was in figure form, by watching Chen Xiao's daily life alongside the other figures!

Buzz! Buzz!

The two people on the other side responded quickly.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Got it!]

[Akaya Moeka: Be careful, please.]

After giving their instructions, Kanae and Shinobu darted out of the woods in a flash, like two elegant butterflies flitting among the trees.

Kanao, the only one left, quietly crouched in place, holding a signal flare in one hand while observing the situation in the distant village.

"Hmm! Is it a cat?"

As the two nimble figures entered the village, the patrolling 'villagers' were just beginning to become alert when they discovered that the area where the commotion had come from was deserted.

That light and agile sound didn't seem like something a human could make.

Thinking of this, the 'villager' assumed it was just a free-roaming cat from the village that had returned, and didn't pay much attention to it.

"They mostly look like ordinary people, sister."

"Don't let your guard down. Be patient; there might be a hidden superhuman among them."

Kanae and Shinobu, perched on the eaves, watched the man leave.

They then went inside to investigate the situation.

"Although the room had been tidied up, there were still obvious signs of it being broken and thrown."

It can be definitively confirmed that the group of 'villagers' were the attackers.

But where will the original villagers be hidden?

"Sister, come here for a second."

At that moment, Shinobu Kocho quickly walked from the window to Kanae's side.

"What's wrong, Ren?"

Kanae followed Shinobu to the window and looked in the direction she was pointing. They saw a temple half-hidden by the forest halfway up the mountain.

Upon closer inspection, a thin layer of golden light covered the temple's perimeter, seemingly blocking something.

"Supernatural power."

The answer couldn't be more obvious.

However, based on their understanding, they couldn't guess what it was.

Therefore, some off-field assistance is needed here.

"Miss Zi, do you know what that is?"

Kanae Butterfly said this to the air.

The next moment, the air around her suddenly tore open.

A gap filled with terrifying eyeballs appeared in mid-air, from which came an elegant yet charming voice.

"It's the magic power of the monks from Shenzhou!"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Fairy Descends to Earth?

Very well, it's something they can't touch.

After receiving the answer, Kanae shook her head in distress, and then continued to seek outside help: "Where are the original villagers?"

"Some of them were locked up in the village committee, and the rest were in that temple, protected by a young monk with some cultivation and a hundred-year-old spirit."

"Can we handle this?"

Kanae continued to ask.

"Haha... As long as you pay a little attention to the talismans and blood thrown by the enemy, you can handle it with your swordsmanship."

After all, in this world, as long as one's cultivation or physical body has not reached a certain level, one is still just a mortal body that can be injured by swords and blades.

This is what is meant by: "Even the best kung fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife."

Of course, if someone takes a super potion like the hooded man before, causing their body to completely mutate, they can become invulnerable to bullets and blades, and almost immune to firearms below large caliber.

Although this sage demon cannot yet materialize and unleash her original power, she can still observe the outside world through the gaps.

Therefore, in addition to Remilia using the power of fate to guide this operation, there was also her off-field assistance, which provided full-map vision.

Poker organization: WC! There's a cheater! There's a cheater!

"I see."

Having received the answer from the sage of spirits, Kanae Kocho felt much relieved.

However, before closing the gap, the sage asked in a resentful tone, "But there's a question I've always wanted to ask. Since opening a gap consumes less resources, why do you insist on going through Mary's Gate of Boundaries?"

"..."

Kanae and Shinobu remained silent upon hearing this.

He then glanced at the gap filled with eyeballs, giving them a look that seemed to say, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Even though they knew those eyes were not aggressive and had no physical form, just being inside for a few seconds and being stared at from all directions was enough to make their sanity plummet!

They would rather walk through the gate opened by Mary than cross the gap!

Mary Sue: Hehe~! You old hag from Gensokyo! How are you feeling now? How are you feeling, my teeth?!

"Waaaaah... You're bullying me! Bullying me! I need comfort from Xiao! I need Xiao to kiss me, hug me, and lift me up high to calm me down!"

The butterfly sisters' silent yet powerful reply greatly shocked the sage, who then pretended to cry and closed the gap.

"The legendary sage monster... how come he has absolutely no morals?"

Butterfly turned around, helplessly rubbing her forehead.

"Just like a little kid."

Kanae Butterfly smiled.

She didn't care about what the sage said before he left.

Let alone materialize, this sage monster hasn't even spoken a single word to Chen Xiao, let alone sought comfort from him.

The so-called kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides are something we don't know how long we'll have to wait for.

In no time, the two of them had calmed down.

Since some villagers were protected in the temple on the mountainside, it means that the poker organization's preliminary plan was not yet completed. Whether it was saving the temple or rescuing the other trapped villagers, it would completely ruin their plan.

"Ren, let's go save them first."

"Yes, sister!"

The two of them leaped out of the window again as if using superhuman agility, landing in the courtyard without making a sound.

They then proceeded towards the location of the village committee building.

buzzing...

However, the sound of vehicles approaching from afar made the two turn their heads to look. They discovered a group of 'villagers' disassembling the exterior of the 'water purification device,' revealing a mysterious black cube inside.

The cube was then placed on a three-wheeled vehicle.

The group of people then set off in a grand procession toward the temple halfway up the mountain.

Even the leader who received the 'water purification device' was among them.

“That’s…the cargo that the truck was carrying earlier.”

Seeing this, Kanae Kocho secretly took out her phone, took a picture of the cube from a distance, and promptly sent it to Moeka Akashiya.

"Sister, it seems they won't find us."

Upon hearing Shinobu's words, Kanae nodded in agreement.

Actually, there are surveillance cameras in this village, so no matter how good their "lightness skills" are, they will still be captured by the cameras.

But for some reason, the people in this poker organization chose to destroy all the cameras!

Yes, it wasn't about turning off the surveillance equipment or cutting off the power; they destroyed all the cameras in the village, as if they didn't trust anything.

Prisoner K: What do you think I'm afraid of?

Kanae originally wanted Tsugumi, who was far away in Shanghai, to help hack the village's security cameras, but unexpectedly, the people in this organization took the initiative to solve the problem for them.

Oh dear, they really need to thank them properly.

Soon the two arrived at the village committee building. A platform had been hollowed out in the center of the building, which looked like a place where villagers used to watch movies and perform plays.

The entrance is only through small doors on either side.

"I'll go left, you go right."

Kanae Butterfly did not hesitate and made a decision immediately.

"Ok!"

Shinobu nodded and rushed toward the entrance on the right, while Kanae ran toward the entrance on the left.

As soon as the two entered, they saw a burly man holding a gun waiting by the door. Because the Butterfly Sisters moved so lightly, it was too late for them to grab their guns and fight back.

[Breath of Flowers - Second Form: Mikage Plum]

Kanae took two light steps forward.

The next moment, a series of slashes, resembling the drawing of a sphere, felled the gun-wielding 'villager' to the ground, and the gun in his hand was reduced to pieces.

[Insect Breathing - Butterfly Dance: Teasing]

Shinobu Kocho then sprints forward.

Her body was as light as a butterfly as she wielded a slender, poisoned blade and thrust it rapidly and repeatedly at the 'villager,' instantly creating several bloody holes in his body and killing him in a flash!

However, unlike her sister, Shinobu did not destroy the gun in the opponent's hand.
