Is this okay?

"What about Rize Kamishiro?"

Leng Mo looked around the hall but didn't find Rize Kamishiro. Curious, he turned to Touka and asked.

Upon hearing this, Touka, who had just returned from delivering food, looked around in confusion and guessed, "I don't know, maybe she went out to sneak some snacks. You know Rize Kamishiro is a big eater, she just can't control herself when she eats. I really don't know why she's not worried about gaining weight. I've gained five pounds in the last few days... I suddenly envy those people who can't gain weight."

As she spoke, Touka looked somewhat weary. Although she no longer suffered the pain of the past, she now had a happy kind of trouble.

"Okay... I'm going out for a walk, I'll be back later."

Upon hearing this, Leng Mo glanced subtly at Dong Xiang before him, but without disturbing her melancholy, he pushed open the door and walked out.

Just as he was leaving, the gecko, who had been about to come over, suddenly turned to look at Leng Mo as he left.

It tastes like Ryusei!

You can’t go wrong!

In an instant, the gecko detected the scent of Rize Kamishiro on Leng Mo, and it was very strong.

However, one thing was strange: the smell was coming from Leng Mo's lower back, as if something from Rize Kamishiro was on him.

Although it was strange, the gecko didn't pay much attention and quietly walked up to it.

At this moment, Leng Mo was unaware of the gecko behind him, walking solemnly down the bustling street.

He has to come up with something even more outrageous than calling himself an idiot, or he'll really be out of options.

It's a matter of life and death! I have to use every brain cell I have.

I kept walking and thinking, but no ideas came to mind; inspiration just wouldn't come.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, some unexpected people suddenly appeared; they were the mother and daughter from the flute mouth.

When the mother and daughter from Dikou saw Leng Mo again, their eyes widened immediately. They knew Leng Mo; in fact, anyone who had received the favor of the antiques knew Leng Mo.

"Hello, Mr. Leng." Ryoko Fueguchi greeted Leng Mo with a smile as soon as she saw him deep in thought.

"Hmm? Oh, it's you. How have you been lately?" Leng Mo stopped thinking, looked up, and casually asked after seeing Fueguchi Ryoko.

“Thanks to you, sir, we can now live in peace. It’s just a pity… my husband.” Ryoko Fueguchi said, a hint of sadness flashing across her face, but there was no need for further complaints now.

"That's good. Be careful lately. Since you're here, it means the guy who killed your husband is almost here."

Leng Mo nodded, not paying much attention, and casually reminded the mother and daughter at Dikou.

When Fueguchi Ryoko heard this, her eyes widened. Although she didn't know why Leng Mo would say that, she knew it was definitely not a trivial matter.

For a moment, she looked uneasy and nervously glanced at Leng Mo.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't produce any antiques. By the way, don't go to Takatsuki Sen's autograph session recently. Also, find Hinami a school to attend."

Leng Mo sensed the other person's unease and spoke earnestly.

After hearing these words, Ryoko Fueguchi smiled slightly, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Thank you, sir. We'll be careful. Hinami, quickly say goodbye to sir." Fueguchi Ryoko pulled Hinami forward by the hand, and the young Hinami timidly clung to Ryoko's leg, secretly glancing at Leng Mo.

"Goodbye."

"Ah."

Leng Mo casually agreed and prepared to leave.

Just as Leng Mo passed the mother and daughter at Dikou, someone quietly walked up and blocked his way. From the outside, the person looked familiar, and Leng Mo recognized him immediately.

Kirishima Ayato.

Upon seeing Leng Mo, Kirishima Ayato revealed an arrogant smile and spoke provocatively.

"You have a familiar scent. You know Rize Kamishiro, right?"

The other person's tone was full of arrogance and haughtiness, while Leng Mo raised an eyebrow with a subtle glint in his eye.

Isn't this Touka's younger brother?

According to the plot, shouldn't they have been staggered? Could it be that previous actions caused a butterfly effect?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The Bronze Tree couldn't possibly be unaware of the messages emanating from the antiques, which would cause all parties to flock to it immediately.

That makes sense now; things that were supposed to be separate are now blocking the entrance.

In an instant, Leng Mo realized the situation was somewhat delicate.

At that moment, Jason, the burly gecko dressed in a suit, blocked the way for the mother and daughter. He grinned menacingly and said gleefully, "You'd better not leave."

"This……"

Ryoko Fueguchi realized something was wrong and immediately protected Hinami before taking a half-step back, not daring to make a move for a moment.

She immediately looked at Leng Mo, waiting for his reaction.

Standing to the side, Leng Mo remained motionless, pondering how to lure the two into the nearby alley.

Once you're in a secluded place, you're completely at their mercy!

"You're Touka's younger brother, right?"

"Huh? So you know my useless older sister. Too bad I won't let you off the hook because of her." Kirishima Ayato was full of disdain when he heard Leng Mo's words. In his eyes, Touka was a weakling who was not worth comparing with him at all.

I feel relieved to hear you say that.

Leng Mo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt relieved.

At that moment, the gecko behind him winked at Kirishima Ayato, who smiled slightly upon seeing it.

He threatened Leng Mo:

"Go to the alley next door. Don't even think about running away. If you do, we won't let that mother and daughter get away."

"Sir! Don't worry about us!" Ryoko Fueguchi, who was standing nearby, said anxiously.

Leng Mo took a deep breath and sighed slowly, as if she had given up resisting, but actually she was trying not to laugh.

He turned to look at Ryoko Fueguchi and Hinami, and said calmly, "No matter what happens, I will protect you."

"But sir!"

"No buts. I will not agree to let someone else's sacrifice be used to save their own life. Don't worry."

Leng Mo smiled warmly, full of resolve, as if a hero was going to his death, carrying with him a sense of determination.

Kirishima Ayato and Gecko immediately led Leng Mo and the others to a nearby alley, where there was no one at the moment.

And so, Kirishima Ayato walked in front, Gecko walked at the back, and Rei Mo and the mother and daughter Fueguchi walked in the middle.

Kirishima Aya was smiling confidently in front of them, while Yamori was smiling cruelly in the end, and Fueguchi Ryoko felt a terrifying pressure and hugged Hinami in fear.

The strange thing is... the one who put the most pressure on her was... Leng Mo?

Ryoko Fueguchi was a little taken aback by the situation. She held Hinami and stared blankly at Leng Mo walking in front of her.

Why is it that what scares me most isn't the enemy, but rather Mr. Leng Mo?

At this moment, Leng Mo revealed a bright smile, a smile that looked like a ghost, a smile that even Malik would find hilarious.

Ayato!

I won't go easy on you just because I know your older sister!

I can finally use the mechanical kagune that Madoka-senpai gave me!

Chapter Forty-Eight: Is it too late for me to surrender now?

Leng Mo's smile was radiant, happy, and perfect, but it didn't seem human.

In the alley, a group of people walked side by side, each with a different expression on their face.

Kirishima Ayato, who was in front, was laughing arrogantly. Behind him, Leng Mo laughed inhumanly. Further back, Fueguchi and her daughter were filled with trepidation, and Hinami was even more frightened. At the very end, Yamato didn't laugh, but his eyes were full of cruelty as he looked ahead.

When he reached the depths of the alley, Xuandu stopped. He stood on the dark ground and turned to look behind him with an arrogant and disdainful expression.

The moment he turned around, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

How stupid of me to have followed them in without warning.

"Right here... I won't hold back from now on, unless you want to get hurt..."

When he turned around, he saw Leng Mo laughing even more wildly than he had.

?

Why are you laughing even more wildly than I am?

It was clearly my turn to do it, wasn't it?

Why do I have this illusion that I am the murderer?

Something's wrong!

Kirishima Aya was completely bewildered by the situation before her, standing there dumbfounded as she looked at Leng Mo, who was grinning like a ghost, feeling as if the roles had been reversed.

"what are you laughing at?!"

His face darkened, and he stared fiercely at Leng Mo before asking a question.

Upon hearing this, Leng Mo on the other end said warmly, "Of course I'm happy! I've never seen anything like this in my life!"

"Hmm!?" Ayato frowned upon hearing this, realizing something.

Is it possible that this human in front of us possesses power surpassing that of a ghoul?

Although this conjecture existed, Ayato's common sense reminded him that it was absolutely impossible.

Humans can defeat ghouls? Even if they do, they couldn't possibly be this seemingly frail guy in front of us!

However, Ayato did not underestimate his opponent in the slightest. An ominous premonition in his heart and the strange situation before him made him go all out.

In an instant, his feathers spread out and he launched an attack aimed at Leng Mo!

"Well done!"

Leng Mo's eyes lit up when he saw Xuan Du's attack; that's exactly right!

I need to show my style and momentum in this moment!

It's time for Madoka's mass-produced Rize Kamishiro mechanical kagune to make its debut!

"I'll show you what true invincibility is!"

With a thought, Leng Mo's clothes suddenly billowed out behind him, as if extending out like the scales of Rize Kamishiro.

With a bright smile, he controlled the mechanical kagune to launch a counterattack!

Swish!

Four metal tentacles of kagune rushed forward with great speed and power!

"Um!?"

Kirishima Ayato's eyes widened when he saw the kinkaku behind Leng Mo. Although the appearance was different, the shape was unmistakable! It was Kamishiro Rize's kinkaku!

Even if it wasn't, it was definitely made according to Rize Kamishiro's kagune!

Even so, he did not back down, and even swung his fist at Leng Mo more fiercely.

"I'll see what you're all about!!"

Xuan Du punched Leng Mo's mechanical kagune, the immense force bringing his charging body to a halt. The momentum and the power of his punch slammed into the mechanical kagune.

Leng Mo felt both happy and moved as he sensed the power approaching.

Finally, I don't have to transform for every battle!

So touching!

It's absolutely the most exciting part!

Hahahahaha!

"Useless! Useless! How could such power possibly defeat my mechanical kagune!"

He was ecstatic, as if at this moment he was no longer the force of fate, but had become the master of fate.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the mechanical kagune trembled, instantly went limp, and fell heavily to the ground, never to move again.

"..."

What the hell?
