Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"Oh! Then come back during the club activities this afternoon!"

Yui Yuigahama stood up from her chair with great energy.

"Xiao Qi, let's go back."

"I've already told you, don't call me that anymore."

Hachiman Hikigaya scratched the back of his head and stood up helplessly. The two of them left the activity room one after the other.

After the two left, Yukino Yukinoshita packed up the books she had brought and got up to return to her classroom.

ka ka ka-

After Yukino Yukino got up, a strange sound suddenly came from the back of the classroom. Yukino Yukino turned her head in confusion and saw a terrifying black shadow standing in the far corner of the classroom. As if sensing Yukino Yukino's gaze, the black shadow slowly turned its head, staring with its blood-red eyes and grinning.

"Can you see me?"

277. Beneath the Visible Snow

What is this thing? Why is it in the classroom? And it looks terrifying!

"Can you see me?"

"Can you see me?"

Blood-red eyes stared at Yukino Yukinoshita. Yukino Yukinoshita's body was completely stiff, and she dared not move at all, not even blink. Cold sweat even began to flow down her forehead.

She couldn't speak, she absolutely couldn't speak. Although she didn't know what it was, her intuition told Yukino Yukinoshita that she absolutely couldn't answer it, or she might die!

"It seems you can't see me."

The terrifying black shadow's face was almost touching Yukinoshita's, but after muttering something, it turned and left Yukinoshita.

"Ah~~ I'm hungry."

Under the snow, the dark figure crawled along the ground, slowly approaching the stacked desks next to it, and then reached out and pulled out a smaller dark figure from inside the desks.

Yukino could make out the general shape of the smaller dark shadow; it was a black cat, but unlike the cats she usually saw, it had blood-red eyes and didn't look like a living creature.

"You can see me! Haha, you can see me!!"

"Meow~~~!!!!"

The black cat, pulled out, began to struggle frantically, but it couldn't break free from the large hand holding it. The large hand's sharp claws lifted the black cat high, and then the shadowy figure opened its mouth wide.

Could it be that it wants to!

Yukinoshita stared in horror at the dark figure, then watched as it released its paws, and the black cat fell directly into its large mouth.

click-

The large mouth closed, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Crunch, crunch—

The sound of bones being bitten through came from the large mouth. The dark figure chewed a few times and then swallowed what was in its mouth.

The shadowy figure, having finished swallowing, lowered its claws and then passed directly through the classroom wall, leaving the Service Department.

After the shadowy figure left, Yukino Yukinoshita plopped down in a chair and began to gasp for breath. She had barely dared to breathe and almost suffocated herself.

"What is it? If I answer, will I be eaten?"

"Or was it just my imagination?"

As Yukinoshita spoke, she touched her back and found that the back of her school uniform was completely soaked. She had been sweating not only on her forehead but also on her back. She was completely drenched in sweat.

"Yes, it's a hallucination, it must be a hallucination."

Yukino patted her own Hirano to comfort herself, but when she looked down, she saw blood splattered on the ground and her eyes widened. This was the blood that had splattered when the dark figure ate the black cat. It wasn't fake; it was real blood.

"Is all of this... real?"

What's going on? The world I've lived in for over a decade suddenly feels so unfamiliar. That thing looks like some kind of evil spirit, but shouldn't such things be urban legends? And urban legends are just fake things, so how can they actually exist?

Wait, it just went out!

Yukino quickly stood up, then walked to the door and opened the classroom door.

!

After the door opened, Yukinoshita saw a pair of large, blood-red eyes pressed against her face. The huge, dark figure that had left the classroom earlier was standing at the doorway.

"Can you see me?"

Can you see me?

Blood-red eyes stared directly at Yukino Yukinoshita's face, mouth agape as it asked her a question.

Yukinoshita's body stiffened instantly again, and sweat began to bead on her back from the tension.

It actually blocked the doorway! It didn't believe it couldn't see it and came back! That was a test! This dark figure is very clever; it was testing me!

"You can see me, right? You must be able to see me!"

It mustn't know that it can see it, or it will be eaten! Absolutely mustn't let it know!

For some reason, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly calmed down at this moment and immediately began to think of a solution.

That's right, the key! The key!

"Strange, the key isn't on the door. Where is it?"

Yukino pretended to look for her keys and started rummaging through her pockets. After searching for a while, she found the key to the activity room in the pocket of her school uniform skirt. She took out the key, turned her back to the huge dark shadow, pulled up the classroom door, and then inserted the key to lock it.

"Okay, that's enough."

After locking the door, Yukino Yukinoshita turned around, forcibly ignoring the huge dark shadow beside her, and walked towards the classroom.

However, to her surprise, the shadowy figure followed her and headed towards the classroom.

No, we can't bring this into the classroom! If we bring it into the classroom, it might hurt the people there!

She started thinking about where to take this thing, but before she could decide, people appeared in the hallway.

"Oh, Yukinoshita, haven't you returned to the classroom yet?"

A middle-aged female teacher wearing a white coat appeared before Yukinoshita.

"Hiratsuka-sensei?"

Yukino looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with some surprise. She was worried that Hiratsuka Shizuka would encounter something. Just as she expected, the dark figure behind her passed right past her and came directly in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka, its blood-red eyes almost touching Hiratsuka Shizuka's face.

Can you see me? Can you see me?

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't see it at all and continued to greet Yukinoshita in front of the shadowy figure.

"Lunch break is almost over, you'd better hurry back to the classroom. I need to get ready for class too, and we're going the same way anyway, let's go together."

"Yes, Hiratsuka-sensei."

After finishing her sentence, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned and started to leave, while the shadowy figure ignored her and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita again.

Yukinoshita reluctantly followed behind Hiratsuka Shizuka, and at the same time made a judgment: Hiratsuka-sensei couldn't see the dark figure, so she was fine. Sure enough, she couldn't let this monster know that she could see it.

If that's the case, we can only hope that no other students see this monster, otherwise...

Following Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukinoshita arrived at the school building. They parted ways at the stairwell and Yukinoshita returned to her own class, 2-J. To Yukinoshita's relief, no one else could see the shadowy figure; only she could see it from beginning to end. This put her at ease, at least preventing any students from being inexplicably killed.

As time went on, she began to shift her attention, because the dark figure made no move other than following behind her. This made Yukinoshita wonder if she was really hallucinating, since it shouldn't be that only she could see it and no one else could.

After school, all the students in the class went out. Some went to club activities, while others went straight home. Only Yukinoshita was left in the classroom. She couldn't help but rub her temples. The dark shadow behind her was still there, but it hadn't moved all afternoon, making her think that it was probably just a hallucination.

"Have you been too tired lately?"

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?"

While resting and rubbing her temples, Yukinoshita heard a voice behind her asking a question, and she habitually answered.

"Yuihama, I didn't..."

Yukinoshita froze halfway through her sentence, because Yuigahama Yui couldn't possibly be in her class! And behind her was only that huge black shadow!

It was a probing attack from the shadowy figure! It was mimicking Yuihama's voice and words!

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened, then she looked behind her in horror.

"Hahaha! You can see me! You can see me!!"

The shadowy figure behind her suddenly burst into laughter, raised its enormous claw, and lunged straight at Yukino Yukinoshita's head!

Yukino quickly lunged forward to dodge the claw, but at the cost of having her table torn in two.

"It's true, it's all true!"

Yukinoshita's eyes widened, and she hurriedly scrambled to her feet, trying to escape. However, the shadowy figure gave her no chance to run away. It grabbed the torn table and threw it at Yukinoshita. The table missed Yukinoshita but flew over her and hit the classroom door, knocking down the cabinet next to the door and blocking it. This forced her to stop.

"If you can see me, I can eat you!! Hahaha! You can see me!!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the dark figure leaped up and pounced on Yukino Yukinoshita, opening its two huge claws, ready to knock Yukinoshita down.

"do not want!"

Yukinoshita, terrified, closed her eyes and screamed.

*Plop*—*Thump*

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out, and Yukinoshita felt an impact on both sides before everything became quiet.

Confused, she opened her eyes and found two enormous bodies lying on the ground on either side of her. The dark figure had been sliced ​​in two! And the one who did all this was a brown-haired man wearing a white haori, holding a long sword, and wearing glasses, who was standing in front of her.

The man seemed to sense Yukinoshita's gaze, turned around, looked down at her, and wore a gentle smile.

"Are you OK."

"I...I'm fine...."

Yukino took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"My name is Aizen Sousuke, and I am a Shinigami (death god)."

Aizen, far away in Hueco Mundo, suddenly frowned, sensing something was wrong.

278. Being able to see is a sign of exceptional talent.

"Give."
