Despite the sharp pain emanating from her thigh wound, Yu Gonglin glanced at it and saw that the gruesome wound was slowly healing, and it was expected to be fully recovered in about ten minutes.

But Amamiya Rin didn't wait that long; he glanced in the direction where the slit-mouthed woman had disappeared.

On the ground, intermittent dark red bloodstains were clearly visible in the dim light.

Amamiya Rin swept his cane and sword pouch to the wall and immediately followed the trail of blood.

First, find out where the Slit-Mouthed Woman is, then join forces with Kawakami Tomie to take her down!

This was Amamiya Rin's first thought after witnessing the Slit-Mouthed Woman escape.

Since the Slit-Mouthed Woman bleeds, it means she can be killed, and there's nothing to be afraid of in a monster that can be killed.

Amamiya Rin, leaning on his bone knife, did not make much noise as he carefully followed the trail of blood.

The slit-mouthed woman was clearly in extremely poor condition. The bloodstains on the ground were not a straight line, but crooked and twisted, sometimes dripping into a puddle, sometimes dragging out a long trail, showing that her steps were extremely unsteady.

Amamiya Rin didn't dare to get too close, always maintaining a distance that was far enough away yet still within her ability to determine his location, using the shadows of the alleyway to conceal her figure.

"Found you! Ugly woman!"

However, unlike Amamiya Rin who was so cautious, Kawakami Tomie, who used Amamiya Rin's location to confirm the location of the Slit-Mouthed Woman and thus intercepted her, arrogantly appeared at the exit of the alley ahead.

She didn't bother to hide at all, standing openly in the middle of the road with her arms crossed, chin slightly raised, and a contemptuous sneer on her perfect face. This disdainful attitude towards everyone was her only flaw.

"I have no interest in punishing evil and promoting good, but what can I do when I have a partner who likes to meddle? If you want to blame someone..."

"We don't need that many survivors... Go to hell!"

Before she could finish speaking, a muffled murmur filled with intense hatred rang in Kawakami Tomie's ears. The slit-mouthed woman, who was already staggering due to her vital injury, suddenly had a surge of red light in her eyes, which were filled with resentment!

Her figure became blurry in an instant.

That speed is beyond human capabilities, and even exceeds the limits of Kawakami Tomie's dynamic vision capture!

It's like a few frames from the middle of a film have been removed.

One moment, the Slit-Mouthed Woman was clenching her legs together due to her vital injuries; the next moment, only a tearing afterimage and a piercing sonic boom remained in the air!

Before Tomie could react to what was happening, she felt a chill on her neck.

The next moment, my vision spun around.

She saw her own beautiful body still standing with her arms crossed.

However, there was nothing above the neck cavity except for blood gushing out like a fountain.

The headless body stiffened for a moment before collapsing limply to the ground.

The figure of the Slit-Mouthed Woman had solidified from a blurry outline outside the alley behind them. Warm blood was dripping from the blade of the enormous scissors in her hand.

"...Huh?"

Tomie's head fell to the ground, rolled twice, her lips moved slightly, uttering a confused syllable, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

How could the Slit-Mouthed Woman, who was almost beaten to her knees by Amamiya Rin just now, suddenly have the ability to kill me instantly?

However, while Tomie was confused, the Slit-Mouthed Woman also aggravated her wound due to the strenuous exercise. She was in so much pain that her whole body convulsed, and she was unable to move for a long time.

"!!!"

Having witnessed everything that happened in the blink of an eye through Tomie Kawakami's eyes, Rin Amamiya's heart clenched.

(Wow, so fast!)

That's too fast! The Slit-Mouthed Woman's speed probably reached over 20 meters per second, far exceeding the limits of human capability!

Amamiya Rin stopped in her tracks, immediately abandoning the idea of ​​giving chase.

He underestimated the Slit-Mouthed Woman. This woman truly deserves her reputation as one of the most famous urban legends. The brute force she displayed during their fight wasn't her specialty at all; it was merely the most basic explosive power of a body capable of producing such speed.

If the Slit-Mouthed Woman hadn't underestimated him and confronted him head-on, but instead chose to use her speed to launch a surprise attack from the side, he would have ended up like Tomie, with no chance to seize the Slit-Mouthed Woman's weakness and inflict serious damage on her vitals.

"Baka! Baka! You ugly woman! How dare you cut my throat! I won't let you get away with this! I've decided! I'm going to chop your body into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"

The head rolling on the ground also came to its senses. Tomie's head tilted upwards, its eyes glaring venomously at the slit-mouthed woman, and it began to curse sharply.

The slit-mouthed woman froze, turned around in astonishment, and clearly saw the severed head she had just cut off staring at her fiercely, its mouth opening and closing as it cursed loudly.

"monster……"

What monster?

Why do I keep encountering abstract monsters tonight?

The Slit-Mouthed Woman couldn't help but recall the skinless woman she had encountered before, the one who was obsessed with the beauty of muscles and had gone mad. The monster that preached to her was already terrifying enough, and now another monster had appeared whose head had been cut off but could still talk.

"Lin! Lin! Come quick and help me! Kill her! I need to kill her! Don't let her get away!"

Tomie screamed loudly, calling on Amamiya Rin, who was far away, to avenge her.

There are monsters too?

The slit-mouthed woman panicked; the intense pain made her dare not linger any longer.

She glanced at the headless body and the living head on the ground, suppressed her discomfort, and dragged herself away with unsteady yet unusually rapid steps, disappearing once again into the shadows of the alleyway, leaving only a patch of intermittent bloodstains.

Amamiya Rin held his breath and leaned against the wall at the corner until he was sure that the Slit-Mouthed Woman's aura had completely disappeared before he slowly walked out.

He first looked around warily, then quickly walked to Tomie's side.

"So slow! So slow! What are you doing? Why are you hiding?"

Tomie glared angrily at Amamiya Rin and questioned him loudly.

"Is that even a question? Of course it's because we can't win. If we could, wouldn't we have come out already?"

Amamiya Rin rolled her eyes and said matter-of-factly.

"What do you mean by 'you can't beat them, so you won't come out'? Why say such shameful things!"

Upon hearing this, Tomie's eyes widened even more, and her voice became even louder as she asked with extreme dissatisfaction.

"If you can't beat them, why come out? Aren't you just throwing your life away? I don't have your immortal body, so I can survive even if my head is chopped off."

Amamiya Rin leaned the bone knife against the wall, bent down, and picked up Tomie's head.

Tomie, who was trying to escape, was instantly killed, yet he still recklessly ran out. What is the point of the three divine artifacts, "Friends"?

"When others are in danger, why didn't you consider whether you could win or not?"

Upon hearing Yu Gonglin say such a thing, Tomie became furious. She bared her teeth, wishing she could bite Yu Gonglin hard.

In fact, that's exactly what she did.

Tomie opened her mouth, revealing a row of neat teeth, and tried to bite Amamiya Rin's arm, but the distance was too far, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach him.
