Unspeakable bubbles

"All personnel assemble. Repeat. All personnel assemble at the command post."

"Received a reply"

"Beep beep, Number Two received."

"Received on the 4th"

"Roger that, Captain!"

"Captain, what should we do?" A-Quan asked in a low voice.

Araki Mamoru pondered for a moment, and when he finally saw the true face of the 'carnivorous animal' from afar, his face immediately turned ashen.

"Kill them without mercy!"

That was a truly terrifying thing, neither human nor beast.

It was dressed in the uniform of the private Cherry Elementary School, its body covered in black fur, and its sharp claws gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

His entire body had lost its proportions, his mutated limbs bursting through his sleeves and trouser legs, and only his face could vaguely be discerned as human.

With its scarlet eyes wide open and a plastic bag in its mouth, it was speeding towards us.

The gunshot rang out, and the next moment blood splattered everywhere on its shoulder. The intense pain drove it mad, its teeth loosened, and the plastic bag fell to the ground.

Rush!

Braving the gun's charge, it pounced and bit off half of Ah Quan's head.

Araki Mamoru's face was expressionless; after all, this was not some heavily guarded secret base.

Considering that they are all underage children, the school's armed force consists of a few active-duty soldiers. They have guns, but don't even think about any other heavy weapons.

Normally this amount of power would be more than enough, but now...

Realizing that his life was coming to an end, Mamoru Araki pressed the emergency call button, then rushed forward without hesitation, holding a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Gawoo"

After swatting the desperate middle-aged man to death with one paw, its ears twitched, and it heard footsteps; someone else was approaching.

'It hurts a little.'

I'm hungry again.

It stood there motionless for a while, then lowered its head and began chewing on the pieces of meat on the ground.

As it fed, its body swelled further. The mutated muscles pushed the bullet out of its body, the wound scabbed over, and the bullet fell off—all within seconds.

Its fur had grown longer, and the way it squatted there made it look like a little black bear from a distance.

"team leader!"

Upon seeing the horrific scene, the charging soldiers raised their guns and opened fire without hesitation.

This time, the bullet failed. It couldn't even penetrate the mutated hair again, and after a soft knocking sound, the spent cartridge rolled to the ground.

"..."

"Damn monster!"

Seeing the thing slowly approaching him, he went berserk and started firing wildly.

"Snapped"

With a sound like a watermelon bursting, a headless corpse fell to the ground.

The two who witnessed this scene later both had a look of despair in their eyes.

"Snoring"

The monster opened its mouth and let out a strange roar.

An unbelievable wave of drowsiness washed over them; at such a critical moment, they actually... wanted to sleep.

Their eyelids were so heavy they couldn't lift them, and their strength gradually faded away. In despair, the two fell into a deep sleep.

The monster walked up to the two fallen men, stretched out its claw, and poked them.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, yet the two remained lying there, unawakened.

"Monster, huh?" Kyoko sniffed, somewhat bored, and didn't deliver the fatal blow.

It walked back to the door, picked up the plastic bag, and headed towards the dormitory.

The entire school was shrouded in mystery, and everyone was fast asleep.

Going upstairs and entering the room, it immediately saw Bubble in its sleep.

The little girl was fast asleep, completely unaware that something foreign had invaded the place.

Apricot, who had been on all fours, struggled to stand up. Supporting itself against the wall, it shakily walked to Bubble.

It stretched out its paw, wanting to touch the little girl's round face.

But when she looked at the bloodstains on her claws, Xingzi's eyes dimmed.

Place the plastic bag next to the bubble pillow, and it silently prays: "May you always be carefree and grow up healthy and happy."

It silently watched the bubble, and after a long while, it finally pushed itself out, looking back every few steps.

Once outside, it resumed its quadrupedal posture.

"The gift-giving is over."

Having fulfilled its obsession, there was no longer a trace of warmth in its eyes; a violent emotion rose within it.

"Roar!"

It roared to the sky with unbridled joy, never before had it felt so relaxed.

It broke through the window and jumped from the second floor.

Destruction, slaughter, and all sorts of intense desires surged within it, and it felt itself filled with boundless power.

"They run pretty fast."

At that moment, a very unmotivated voice rang out.

Looking up, it saw two figures, one large and one small, standing on a strange suitcase.

The suitcase was square, with four wheels at the bottom, which were spinning rapidly.

And so, the two of them followed this suitcase all the way here.

"stop!"

Xiaoyu shouted, and the suitcase obediently stopped.

"Master, Master, it, it's staring at us."

After the two jumped off the suitcase, Xiaoyu swallowed hard and hid behind the woman in fear.

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of?"

Chisa looked at Kyoko, who was not far away, and said with some admiration, "You've made another progress in such a short time. You're quite amazing. When did you start transforming into a beast?"

Apricot's hair stood on end; it smelled death on that woman.

"Roar!"

"Hey, he can't even speak properly anymore."

Chisa wasn't in a hurry, and said in an assessment-like manner, "Hmm, danger level C, oh no, C+."

"Perfect, this can be a reference for Xiaoyu."

"Bring it here"

Reaching out, Xiaoyu tacitly opened the box, took out a bottle, and handed it to the woman.

"Try this, holy water personally blessed by the Archbishop of the Holy King Church."

Chisa bit open the bottle stopper and splashed the clear liquid inside onto Kyoko's face.

"sizzle"

White smoke rose from its face, and the piercing pain made it act recklessly.

With a deafening roar, it viciously rammed into Qian Sha.

With a scream of "Ah!", Xiaoyu was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud.

"What's the panic? Watch carefully."

Somewhat displeased with her disciple's embarrassment, Qian Sha struck a pose: "Women's Self-Defense Technique!"

Bracing his hands against his strong forelimbs, he used his waist to throw himself!

Xingzi felt a lightness on her feet and rose into the air.

Chapter 22, Section 022: The Bloodstained End

While in mid-air, Xingzi nimbly flipped over.

After landing smoothly, it used its hind legs to propel itself towards Qiansha like lightning.

"Remember, when dealing with these beast-like creatures, you need to keep your distance. We're not those martial arts fanatics; we have no advantage in close combat."

While calmly dodging Kyoko's attacks, Chisa instructed Tama, "Do you see its claws?"

Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "Master, look, I see it."

"Getting caught by this thing would be terrible, so..."

A demon-slaying dagger flashed from his sleeve. "This is the kind of thing you need to use now!"

With a flash of light, the beast roared and flew backward.

After rolling twice on the ground, Xingzi steadied herself and stared down at her bare palm. Only then did the unbearable pain come from the wound.

"..."
