I created a foundation

No, no!

Eriri shook her head violently, her cheeks feeling a little hot.

She didn't want to be like that black-hearted senior who kept talking about "teasing" all day long.

She has her own pride.

But can pride be eaten? Can it make that wooden guy look at me more?

The more Eriri thought about it, the more upset she became, and her steps became a little unsteady.

at this time.

"Help...help me!"

A sharp and short cry for help pierced the tranquility of the night like a sharp arrow, and instantly shattered Eriri's wild thoughts.

The voice, filled with extreme fear and a hint of suppressed breathing, seemed to come from a dark alley not far away.

Eriri's body reacted faster than her brain. She stopped almost instinctively, and all the muscles in her body tensed instantly.

The golden eyes glanced vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

The alley was pitch black, like a huge mouth ready to devour anyone. Only a few rays of dim moonlight could barely illuminate the wet ground at the entrance.

There seemed to be a faint, disgusting fishy smell in the air.

Eriri's breathing hitched slightly.

This taste...

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"Who is there?"

Ying Lili lowered her voice and shouted in a deep voice towards the alley entrance.

Her voice trembled slightly from nervousness, but more than that, it was a kind of alertness as if a nerve had been touched.

No one answered.

Only a few heavy gasps and a strange rustling sound, like scales rubbing against the ground, came from the depths of the alley.

Immediately afterwards, a staggering figure rushed out from the darkness.

That's a woman.

She was tall and slender, with a graceful figure. Her long, smooth black hair was slightly disheveled as she ran, covering half of her face.

She was wearing a dark, slightly damaged tights that showed off her stunning mature curves.

Although her face was filled with panic that was hard to conceal, her exposed, obsidian-like eyes flashed with an unusual calmness and tenacity.

Obviously, this woman is no ordinary person.

She seemed to be injured, her running posture was a little awkward, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Behind her, several taller and more ferocious figures rushed out.

The moment she saw the pursuers clearly, Eriri's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

That's... a murloc!

There are four or five of them.

They have torsos and limbs similar to humans, but their heads are shaped like various ferocious fish.

Some have huge snouts covered with sharp teeth like sharks, some have strange luminous bodies like lantern fish, and some have hard crab-like shells on both sides of their cheeks.

Their exposed skin was covered in slippery, dark scales that took on an unsettlingly greasy sheen in the dim light.

In their hands, they wielded various crude weapons made from fish bones and shells, emitting a strong smell of blood and the salty smell of sea water.

The disgusting fishy smell emanated from them.

They are almost exactly the same as the followers of the Deep Sea King that we encountered on Izu Beach before!

"boom--!"

It was as if an invisible thunder exploded in Eriri's mind.

The dusty and deliberately suppressed memories burst out like a flood.

The devastating rainstorm in Izu.

The huge and terrifying figure of the Deep Sea King.

Countless civilians cried in despair.

She and Kasumigaoka Utaha huddled in the corner, shivering, and could only watch Lin Qing face the god-like monster alone.

And then there was Lin Qing's words afterwards, which were a bit teasing but deeply hurt her self-esteem - "You two are really scumbags."

humiliation.

fear.

unwilling.

And... the excruciating pain from the scars that had been torn open and had not yet fully healed.

At this moment, new and old grudges erupted like a volcano.

"It's you again..."

Eriri's voice was so low that it seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying with it an uncontrollable murderous intent.

"It's you again...disgusting fishmen!"

Her chest was heaving violently, and her golden eyes, which had originally seemed a little confused due to her love troubles, were now burning with two clusters of almost crazy anger.

All the irritability, depression, and unwillingness that had accumulated before found a perfect outlet at this moment, and all transformed into pure and undisguised anger!

She didn't even have to think twice, her body reacted immediately before her brain.

The black-haired woman who was being chased had now run to the entrance of the alley, only about ten meters away from Eriri.

And those ferocious fishmen were already very close. The leader had even raised the sharp fishbone blade in his hand, ready to stab the woman in the back.

"Get out of here!"

Eriri let out an angry roar.

She moved.

Without any hesitation, and without asking anyone for help.

The golden twin ponytails drew two sharp arcs in the night wind.

Her petite figure was like a cannonball fired from a gun, rushing straight towards the ferocious fishmen and the mysterious woman who was being hunted.

She wants to tear these disgusting monsters to pieces!

At the entrance of the alley, the lights are dim.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere spread.

The alley was deep and the moonlight was fragmented by the towering buildings, barely casting a few faint rays of light.

A strong fishy smell hit me in the face, mixed with a disgusting sticky feeling.

Nico Robin leaned against the cold wall, breathing rapidly.

Sweat soaked her black hair in front of her forehead and stuck to her pale cheeks.

She could clearly hear the heavy footsteps of the inhuman beings behind her, as well as their rough, greedy and tyrannical growls.

"Hey, hey, hey, run, keep running, son of the devil."

A hoarse and harsh voice sounded, with a hint of teasing.

"You can't escape from our grasp."

Another voice echoed, more gruffly.

"Catch her and you'll get a large reward."

"Hand her over to the higher-ups, and we can..."

Robin's eyes narrowed, and with a twist of her wrist, several arms blossomed like petals on the ground in front of her, trying to create an obstacle.

"Little tricks!"

The fishman in the lead had a shark-like head that looked ferocious and terrifying. He wielded the rough fishbone knife in his hand and easily cut off those arms.

The broken arm turned into petals and dissipated into the air.

Robin groaned, his face turning even paler.

She had been on the run for too long, and her physical and mental strength had reached its limits.

These fishmen, like sharks smelling blood, have been chasing her relentlessly since she accidentally fell into this strange world.

This world... was completely different from everything she knew.

There are no familiar islands, no vast oceans, only these cold and hard steel forests.

Despair was like cold sea water, drowning her little by little.

Just as the fishmen were approaching with a grin on their faces, ready to launch the final attack, a clear and angry female voice exploded at the entrance of the alley like thunder.

"It's you disgusting fishmen again!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

The fishmen paused and looked in the direction of the sound.

At the entrance of the alley, the moonlight outlined a petite figure.

The golden twintails swayed slightly in the night breeze, and a pair of green eyes flashed coldly in the dim light.

It's Eriri.

She had just finished her routine night patrol when she sensed the unusual energy fluctuations and strong negative emotions here.

When she saw the ugly appearances of those fishmen and the tyrannical aura they exuded, which was similar to that of the Deep Sea King, an uncontrollable rage rose from the bottom of her heart.

The shadow of the Deep Sea King incident and the sense of responsibility given to her by the Foundation made her full of hatred for such existences.
