"Of course I'm not. I only do it this way because I don't trust the police."

"Can't trust it? Why?"

"Several of my schoolmates also encountered incidents like yours. They went to the police, but they died unexpectedly not long after."

Mei Zhulan sneered, then leaned over and stared at her.

"I saw a police car and came over to take a look. I didn't expect to see you... Now tell me, what did you see?"

"Okay, let me tell you..."

Da Hu Li Shi, who was in a depressed mood, had no courage to refuse. She silently told her about the scene that made her extremely painful. After listening to her, Mei Zhulan sighed and patted her shoulder gently.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you recall that, but I need this information. I need to keep tracking it down."

At this moment, Mizukuri suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Her face changed slightly and she quickly hid behind the cabinet. A moment later, Junda Sosuke opened the door and looked at Ohori Minoru with a complicated expression.

"Are you okay? Are you mentally stable now?"

"I...I'm fine. Thank you, police officer."

Satomi wanted to express her sincere gratitude, but after thinking of Mizukuri's flowers, she couldn't help but doubt the police in front of her, and finally just nodded timidly.

"Your friends... they are no longer in this world. I understand how you feel, but you must also be strong."

Junda Sosuke sighed, then glanced at her school uniform, and suddenly thought of something and spoke softly,

"By the way, you are Hanae's student, so do you know Toyama Kasumi?"

"I know...we are friends, right?"

Ri Shi was stunned for a moment before nodding blankly, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this.

"Are you friends? That's fine... Actually, don't look at me like this, I'm also a fan of Popipa. Seeing that you are a student of Hana-chan, I couldn't help but ask this. Sorry."

Sosuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her words, then thought about it and quietly added the reason why he asked that, and Rimi nodded silently.

"Well... the transcript is ready. If you want to leave, you can leave now."

Junda Sosuke walked over and held out his hand to her, and Satoshi hesitated for a moment and took his hand and got up. At this time, he couldn't help but question Mitakeran's words.

This policeman looks very nice... Could he be a bad guy too?

While thinking this, she subconsciously glanced at Mizukuri who was hiding behind the cabinet. The moment her eyes met hers, her body tensed up. Then, as expected, she saw Junda Sosuke slowly turn his head in the direction of her gaze.

"Boom,"

The next second, a stone suddenly smashed the window and flew in. Junda Sosuke reacted quickly and pulled out his pistol, while Mitakeran also seized the opportunity and rushed into the bathroom.

After closing the compartment door, Mizukami couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the next second a familiar voice filled with laughter came from behind her.

"Lan, what are you doing here?"

"...Mocha?"

Mizukari opened her eyes wide and looked behind her in disbelief, while Moka leaned out of the window and waved at her.

"You didn't expect that, did you? It's not just you, Lan, who's taking risks. We're taking risks too. Come to think of it, this is my first time smashing a police station window. My heart is beating really fast."

"What are you doing here? It's dangerous here!"

Mizukari growled anxiously, while Moka smiled and shook her head slightly.

"Since you're here, Lan, of course we should come over too, because the five of us are always together, right?"

"you……"

Mixed with emotion and annoyance, Mizukari couldn't help but grit her teeth, and then Feimali's angry face also leaned out of the window, staring at her fiercely with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Lan, you actually took this risk alone? If Mocha hadn't noticed, we would still be kept in the dark by you... You absolutely must not do this next time!"

"Yes, Lan, we are very touched that you are considering us, but we also cannot accept you taking risks alone."

Thrush's little head popped out as well. She looked at Mizukari with worry, shaking her head vigorously in disagreement.

"You guys...are really difficult to deal with,"

Mei Zhulan closed her eyes and sighed deeply, her expression helpless and tired.

"Forget it, please help me get out first... By the way, where's Tomoe? Why can't I see her?"

"Because... I'm below them,"

After a while, a trembling sound that could no longer be endured came from outside the wall.

"They're not standing on mats now. I feel like my shoulder is going to break. Lan, please come out quickly."

Chapter 77 Meeting

After Mizukari turned over with great effort, Ueda Gawamura could no longer hold on and fell heavily to the ground. Her hands were shaking a little due to overexertion. After shaking them, she looked at Mizukari helplessly.

"Lan, don't try to be so stubborn by yourself next time, okay? Mocha has already told us, and we know you have to do this... but you can definitely call us along."

"I've already said that I don't want you to be... because of me..."

"Even if Lan doesn't want to, we're still involved now."

Mocha shrugged, smiled and whispered to interrupt Lan. The voice was deliberately drawn out longer than usual, which made Lan purse her lips.

"Even if you think so, Lan, you can't make us change our minds. We must help Lan. Without Lan, there will be no way for us to be the same as before."

"you……"

"Ah, it's everyone from aftergrow,"

Mizukari hesitated and spoke softly, but the next moment she heard a familiar voice. She turned around and saw the five people from Popipa. Noticing their surprised and breathless expressions, she frowned slightly in surprise.

"It's Poppin Party...Excuse me, what are you doing here all of a sudden?"

"We're here for a friend who had something terrible happen to her and told us about some kind of monster, so we came quickly."

"A friend... Is the person you're talking about Da Hu Li Shi?"

Mizukari recalled the name on the transcript signed by the lady and asked softly, while Sha Ling was stunned for a moment and nodded vigorously.

“Yes, she is

The drummer of Chispa, have you seen her?"

"Yes, she is in a very bad condition now. You should come and find her."

As Mei Zhulan nodded, the commotion in the police station gradually subsided. Several policemen tried to check the surveillance, but Mocha had anticipated this and was hiding in the blind spot of the surveillance and throwing stones. Now they could only blame the culprit.

After realizing they were temporarily safe, the five members of Aftergrow couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Observing this, Sha Ling realized something and spoke tentatively.

"Did you do something? Why do those police officers seem so annoyed?"

"We don't know about that. We just know that someone just threw a rock at the police station window for no apparent reason. We really don't know what happened."

"is it?"

Sha Ling calmly raised her finger and pointed at the messy clothes of Mizukuri and the other four.

"I'm sorry, but you don't look like new here. Ran, you should know some information, right? Although I don't want to meddle in other people's business, this is after all related to our friends... Please, tell me, why are you here?"

"...I'm sorry, but if you know too much, it will put you in danger."

Mei Zhulan sighed. She had never expected that the words her father had said, which had disgusted her so much at the time, would be said by her again. She felt a deep sense of irony in her heart.

"Since you're here to help your friend, I also need to remind you not to let her spread rumors about monsters. If you only want to consider your own safety, then just show your concern as a normal friend and stay out of this matter... That being said, I'm sure you won't accept it, right?"

"Of course!"

Before Saaya could answer, Kasumi shook her head firmly and stared at Mitakeran seriously.

"We can't abandon our friends. If you don't want to answer why you came here, that's fine, but at least tell us where Satoshi is, please!"

"Well, to be honest, I actually guessed that you would probably react like this, Kasumi."

Mei Zhulan shook her head without surprise, and then her expression suddenly became much more serious.

"But have you really made up your mind? The strangeness ahead is different from everything we've encountered so far. If you're not careful, you could die. Do you understand?"

"Wait, is it possible to die?"

Hearing this cold description, Saaya couldn't help but open her eyes wide. After hesitating, she subconsciously turned around and wanted to persuade Kasumi and the others to go back first, and she would go to find Satoshi alone, but Kasumi's firm voice spoke before she could say anything.

"To die... that's definitely scary, but if we have to abandon our friends, I think that's even scarier."

Kasumi looked up and looked directly into Mizukuri's eyes, shaking her head firmly in a very affirmative manner, causing the latter to sigh again with a complicated expression.

"So you'd say that, I sincerely hope you'll maintain this determination... Now that you've made your decision, I'll tell you."

She shared all the information she knew, and the five people from Popipa only then realized that this unknown danger actually existed and that there were such monsters in the world.

"Is that so?"

Sha Ling lowered her head in a daze, and at this moment she looked at her companions who were also confused. She felt sad and suddenly began to regret agreeing to them.

Xia Xi and the others have already died because of this terrible incident, and I am putting everyone in danger because of me...

She couldn't help but shake her head vigorously, and Xiangcheng also noticed the strangeness in her expression. When she was about to comfort her, she suddenly heard an unexpected voice from the side.

"Seniors...are all of you here?"

Gao Songdeng looked at the ten familiar girls with some confusion, not quite understanding what was going on.

When she was hiding in the quilt in a daze, Su Shi suddenly said that she had received news about Aine, and she immediately went out without hesitation. Then Su Shi took her and Li Xi to a blocked house. After being repeatedly refused entry by the police who stayed behind, they could only go to the police station to try their luck.

While feeling surprised, Takamatsu Deng subconsciously glanced at Toyama Kasumi for some reason. Coincidentally, she also met Deng's gaze, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded seriously.

"Takamatsu-san, you're here too. What brings you here?"

"Um... I came here because Su Shi knew something about Xiao Ai. She seems to be involved in a case. The police officers wouldn't let us into the scene... so we had to come here to see if we could get anything out of the police station."

Deng explained nervously in a low voice. Although Li Xi was very surprised to see Aftergrow, he did not forget the purpose of coming here. He coughed lightly and asked,

"Seniors, there's a reason you're all gathered here, right? Do you know anything about Aine?"

"Aine... is that the pink-haired kid?"

At this moment, Saaya suddenly remembered that Satoshi seemed to say that Aine was dead, and her expression froze.

Nagasaki Suyo did not miss this detail. At this moment, the discomfort and uneasiness in her heart suddenly increased, and she pinched her nails tightly.

"Senior Sha Ling, do you know where she is now?"

“Aine has been… eaten…”

Before Saaya could answer, another trembling voice answered first.

Chapter 78: Parting on bad terms

"..."

The four members of mygo were stunned for a moment, and after a moment, Nagasaki Sushi was the first to react. Her face turned pale, and she rushed directly to Oohari Minoru who had just walked out, staring into her eyes.

"What did you say? What happened to Aine?!"

“I… that fish-man monster rushed towards me, and Aine held it back. I was able to survive because of her help…”

Satoshi was startled by her panicked questioning and tried to organize his words tremblingly.

"When I returned, I didn't see her body. I'm afraid she was eaten..."

"I'm afraid that means you didn't see it yourself."

Realizing that this was just Rimi's speculation, and remembering that Xiangzi had told her that Aine was safe, Su Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She really lost her mind when she heard something like this... There was nothing she could do about it. Even if Xiangzi said that Aine was fine, she still couldn't be completely relieved until she confirmed it with her own eyes.

"Don't cry, Aine is not dead,"

While relaxing, Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously spoke out her inner thoughts, and the next moment she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, Ooguchi immediately looked up at her in surprise and disbelief.

"Aine isn't dead?! Is this true?! How did you know?"

"I... am just speculating,"

Su Shiyu was speechless for a moment, trying to make her expression look natural.

Xiangzi asked her not to reveal their information. After all, the Toyokawa family has always been paying attention to Xiangzi. Su Shi also agreed that more people should not know about what happened to Xiangzi.

But it's all my own carelessness... I'm afraid I can't explain the source of the information now, and this excuse won't fool anyone.

"Suyo-san, you really don't know anything about Aine?"

As expected, as Su Shi expected, Hanazono-senpai noticed the change in her expression and his voice became serious.
