The convenience store entrance was right next to them, which was also where they had fought the parasites earlier.

However, at this moment...

The road surface, which should have been stained red with Long Yuanxiang's blood, was as clean as if it had just been washed by rain.

Even the vending machine that had been destroyed by the parasites stood there intact.

Everything returned to normal.

It was as if everything before it was just an absurd collective fantasy.

Su Wei paused for two seconds, raised an eyebrow, and showed a hint of surprise.

"It's... completely intact...?"

"It really is... monstrous methods."

This subtle change in expression naturally did not escape the eyes of Sakayanagi Arisu.

'Another exquisite yet clumsy performance.'

The girl chuckled to herself.

Even though there was no surprise in those eyes, she still pretended to be shocked.

Just like the creatures in that room, they are all aliens in human skin.

but......

'Since we are both man-made monsters, I'll use you as the first testing ground for me to mend my own shortcomings.'

Having made up her mind, Sakayanagi Arisu no longer maintained her feigned weakness.

"We both know for sure that what happened just now was not an illusion."

"This kind of large-scale matter reorganization is nothing compared to the instantaneous teleportation that pulls us into another dimension, isn't it?"

She craned her neck to look at the 24-hour convenience store in front of her:

"Instead of dwelling on this, wouldn't it be more important to confirm whether that clerk exists or not? That's the more pressing issue right now."

Su Wei nodded slightly, without refuting.

The two walked hand in hand slowly toward the convenience store.

I just got to the entrance of the convenience store.

A familiar figure blocked their way.

"Hey, Ryuen-kun."

Su Wei was the first to greet them, while Sakayanagi Arisu looked at the unpredictable Ryuen Sho and chuckled meaningfully.

"It seems we don't need to check anymore, Suwei."

"As expected, the resentment of being cut in half is stronger than the desire to uncover the truth."

"..."

Upon hearing the sound, Ryuen Sho turned around, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly at Sakayanagi Arisu, but unusually, he did not lash out on the spot.

"Your mouth..."

Su Wei sighed: "If he really hits you later, I won't help you."

"Oh dear, that's really heartless."

Sakayanagi Arisu feigned surprise, covering her lips, and said with utterly insincere mockery:

"In terms of escape speed, I, a disabled person, am indeed no match for a brute without any burdens."

"I'm sorry, Su Wei, I've dragged you down."

"Shut up, you cripple."

Long Yuanxiang's lips twitched slightly, as if even the strength to be angry had been drained away.

His voice was hoarse, and he clearly had no interest in maintaining his usual sharp and assertive demeanor.

"...He remembers nothing."

Long Yuan turned to the side, his voice low and terrifying.

"My memory seems to have been altered; I thought I had just returned from vacation and was rushing to work the night shift."

Sakayanagi Arisu gasped softly, "So now he is...?"

Long Yuanxiang did not answer immediately.

He took two steps to the side and looked through the glass window at the young, seemingly honest and kind-hearted clerk behind the counter who was smiling and processing payments for customers.

That monster whose head was still exploding just an hour ago.

"Let's just say we can still be considered 'human' for now."

"After all, given that monster's personality, if he knew he'd been exposed, he would definitely eliminate anyone with uncertain information like me..."

"But he just saw me and smiled, asking if I wanted to buy a discounted bento box that was about to expire..."
