Great, we're doomed now!

"Mountains don't fall down on their own; we need to keep digging and weakening them, and persevere... Sooner or later, we will level them."

Carmilla tilted her head slightly: "What do you mean?"

“I mean—” Mengye paused, her face flushing slightly.

After all, she was a pitiful young girl who had never experienced anything. No matter how cunning or twisted she was, she still had a basic sense of shame.

But her voice didn't drop: "There are actually many ways you can beat him, you don't need to fight to the death on the battlefield - the battlefield is Brother Ye Shou's domain, it's normal that you can't beat him there."

It's different elsewhere~

Carmilla did not answer; her eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, as if she were pondering a tactical question that had suddenly come to mind.

"Force can't win... strategy? A game?"

“You’re really serious. I was talking about a more…private struggle.”

The silver-haired dark warrior opposite him fell silent for a moment, which convinced Mengye that her words had worked.

"You mean in bed?" Carmilla suddenly asked, her voice slightly lower than usual. "It's just the primitive movement of a lowly creature. What does winning prove? Besides, is there even a winner or loser in this kind of thing?"

"Of course! And once you win, you can easily crush his pride with just a few words, dealing him a blow that is even greater than a victory on the battlefield!"

"Miss Carmilla, you've simply chosen the wrong field—you need to play to your strengths."

"Strengths..."

"You are beautiful, and you inspire a desire to conquer you."

Mengye put down her teacup and revealed a mischievous smile: "Although Brother Ye Shou is a perfect monster, he is actually very innocent when it comes to feelings."

Carmilla narrowed her eyes: "He has quite a few women around him; he must be a veteran."

"Not necessarily."

The shadow of the rose stand moved slowly across the ground, obscuring Mengye's face.

"He's super easy to deal with if you find the right method!"

"Really?" Carmilla asked humbly.

“First, you need to make him realize that you are a ‘woman’.” Meng Ye leaned forward slightly. “Your posture is too forceful. You always treat him as an opponent worth fighting. Sometimes you need to make him feel that you also have weaknesses and need someone to protect you.”

"I never wait for anyone to save me."

“It’s pretending.” Mengye sighed. “Do you understand what pretending is? Sometimes hunters pretend to be prey so that the prey will lower its guard and walk into the trap.”

Carmilla suddenly realized: "I see... I've learned something new."

"You need to show him a different side of you. This trick will definitely work on him, because Brother Ye Shou is that kind of person—ruthless to powerful enemies, but completely powerless against those who need protection."

He's good at manipulating stubborn guys, but if you show weakness to him, he'll be at a loss... The human heart is the most defenseless fortress; you just need to find the right door and walk in." Mengye blinked her innocent big eyes.

“Alright.” After hesitating for a long time, Carmilla said slowly, “Let’s treat it as a trial… I’ll give it a try.”

"Yes! Good luck, Carmilla!"

Mengye smiled, leaned back in her chair, and looked up at the sky, which had been cut into pieces by the rose stand, with a sly smile always on her lips.

She was already looking forward to the start of this great show.

I definitely didn't do this to cause trouble for my sister, but to create opportunities for myself.

"But... how exactly should we do it?"

After making up her mind, Carmilla became hesitant: "I've never...did I have any references?"

"Hmm? I do have a lot of shoujo manga."

Mengye thought about it and felt it was unreliable. Using that thing as a reference and then putting the plot into practice... just thinking about it was incredibly embarrassing!

"What are you two talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun." Chika walked over and could clearly sense the change in the atmosphere between Carmilla and Moeha, so she couldn't help but feel curious.

She'd only been gone a short while, and Moeha had already gotten along well with Carmilla? As expected of her sister, her skills in raising favorability were truly impressive!

I just don't know how she did it~

"It's nothing, just...some things about girls."

Mengye thought for a moment: "Sister, where did you learn your dating skills? From comics?"

"Dating tips?"

Chika sat down, tilting her head slightly: "Why are you suddenly asking this... I just speak my mind, and naturally, my relationship with Xiaoshou has developed to what it is now."

"Wow, this is totally useless, forget it."

Mengye stood up: "Miss Carmilla, wait a moment, I'll go get you a few sets of comics—they're weird, but they might work unexpectedly well for Ye Shou-ge."

"Thank you."

"..."

Moeha left, but Chika was taken aback. She blinked and looked at Carmilla in confusion: "What would be useful to Moeha?"

"Who knows?"

Carmilla, with her naturally mischievous gaze, smiled slightly at Chika: "It's something I can't tell you."

"Ugh?"

Chapter 465: Are you there? Let's check the remaining value (2-in-1 8.5K)

In the amusement park, the music of the carousel echoed in the air, and the roller coaster roared along the track, bringing screams and laughter. A clown selling balloons was surrounded by a group of children. Colorful balloons in his hands turned into puppies, swords and crowns, which the children scrambled to grab.

The air was filled with the sweet smell of popcorn and the caramelized aroma of cotton candy; if you stayed too long, you might even feel a cloying sensation in your throat.

However, the amusement park is destined to be anything but peaceful today—

Near the southeast corner of the park, there is an undeveloped vacant lot that was originally planned to be used for new entertainment projects. However, the construction team will not be able to enter the site until next month. For now, it has only been fenced off with a temporary fence and a sign that reads "No Entry for Visitors".

Closest to the fence were several children, gathered there for some unknown reason.

"I'm not kidding you, it just moved!"

"It really moved! Look... Huh?"

Before the words were even finished, the ground shook again, creating a crack that spread rapidly along the concrete surface like a spider web, causing the children to scream and shout. This quickly attracted the attention of the adults.

Several staff members gathered around, and then everyone saw the crack slowly expand, with a small sharp point popping out from it. As it began to rise, it carried an irresistible force, constantly pushing open the ground, and everyone's understanding was constantly being refreshed.

Five meters, six meters, eight meters—it pushed the gravel and soil to the sides, revealing the soil layer below, its cuticle gleaming oily in the sunlight like the fangs of some giant creature.

The sharp point only stopped growing when it reached about ten meters in length.

"Move quickly! Everyone evacuate towards the exit!"

The security captain waved his arm, directing everyone to evacuate, while the staff members were divided into groups of three and dispersed at key turning points to act as human walls to guide the crowd.

Today, thanks to TPC's persistent safety education, although people still cannot judge what a monster is or what a strange natural phenomenon is, they at least know the principle of "better safe than sorry".

If you encounter something strange, just hide. Don't join in the fun like a silly roe deer in a horror movie!

The enhanced power suits made the employees' movements much more agile than usual, and they also had enough stamina to keep going. However, there were still not enough people, and compared to the huge number of tourists, they simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which panic spread.

Tourists began shoving and running towards the gate. Some fell and were pulled up, and children cried, calling out the names of their family members. However, when the crowd was halfway there, it was suddenly "stopped".

At first, several adults bumped into an invisible wall at the entrance of the amusement park. One of the middle-aged men who was running in front covered his nose and squatted down, enduring the pain as he reached out to touch it. In terms of texture, it was something smooth and hard, as cold as glass.

Someone picked up a stone and threw it, but the stone bounced back, and a faint ripple appeared around the point of impact on the transparent barrier before quickly disappearing.

"There's one over here too!" a shout came from another direction, then a third, a fourth...

This barrier is not a wall, but a dome that inverts the entire amusement park and the surrounding buildings inside!

"How is this going?"

The security captain led several team members to the crack where the horn was located. The stun gun crackled and the shockwave baton emitted a low hum. Before they could even make a move, the horn reacted, startling everyone.

Unexpectedly, it did not launch an attack, but instead retracted—much faster than when it extended, disappearing in a flash, leaving an irregular hole about four or five meters in diameter on the ground.

A few of the bolder ones gathered to the side and peered inside—

call!

A sudden dark shadow knocked them over!

Tentacles emerged from the cavity!

It swung violently at the nearest security guard, causing the enhanced power suit to slam into it and emit a piercing alarm. The guard was sent flying and crashed onto a carousel several meters away.

"Sato!"

call!call!call!

Another tentacle flew out of the hole, and with just a swing around, it knocked down all the staff.

However, their target is clear: not these adults—

Those thick, python-like tentacles patrolled the sky, bypassing screaming parents and precisely coiling up one child after another!

Some children were dragged into the void before they even had a chance to cry out, their screams abruptly cut short!

Some were lifted into the air by tentacles, their limbs flailing futilely, or held tightly to their parents... In the end, the adults could not hold on any longer and let go, and the children disappeared into the depths of the crack.

"Li Yi——"

"Calm down!"

The security captain tried to shoot a flare at the crack to see what was below, but a team member stopped him—the hole was full of children, and shooting the flare in might provoke the monster.

And so, an amusement park became a closed-off demonic realm, and innocent children became the targets of monsters...

The moment they received the distress signal, the Victory team reacted faster than expected!

Moreover, even before they flew to the site, the other side had already begun analyzing the barrier based on the images and spectral data transmitted from the site.

"The preliminary scan results are in, and its physical properties are closer to those of a solid than an energy field. The good news is that being a solid means it can be destroyed. Liquid nitrogen should be able to change its molecular activity, thereby causing an imbalance in its arrangement and making its structure brittle."

"No need for all that trouble," Shinjo's voice came through the flight channel. "Commander, hold on tight!"

This may be the last combat mission for Shinsei before entering the lunar base, hence his eagerness for battle.

Before Zongfang could ask anything, he was shoved into his seat by inertia—

The nose of the Flying Swallow No. 1 suddenly sank, hurtling towards the barrier surface at a dangerous angle. Shinjo's fingers moved rapidly across the weapon panel, switching the aim assist to manual mode.

The "Gangnail" protruded from under the fuselage, and the hum of the electromagnetic rails charging drowned out the roar of the engine. Through spectral imaging, the aiming line locked onto a point on the surface of the previously invisible barrier.
