The survivors wore tired but relieved smiles.
Great.
Finally... I'm back.
However, at this most relaxed moment...
Su Chen, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped without warning!
For the first time, a truly cold and solemn expression appeared on his face, which had always been calm and composed.
"What's wrong, Su Chenjun?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's senses were incredibly sharp, and she instantly noticed that something was wrong with him.
Mai Sakurajima and Utaha Kasumigaoka, who were following behind, also stopped, their expressions turning serious.
They know it very well.
What could make this man make that expression...?
This is definitely not a trivial matter!
Su Chen did not answer.
He suddenly looked up, his dark eyes, like the sharpest eagle's, fixed intently on the direction of the gymnasium deep within the campus.
Just a moment ago.
His extraordinary sensitivity, enhanced by cultivating the [Perfect Reverse Rebirth Triple] technique, was suddenly struck by a powerful sensation, as if countless red-hot steel needles were piercing his brain...
Severe pain!
This is the highest level of danger warning!
A massive, evil, chaotic, and violent aura of terror, like an invisible tumor, was growing and expanding wildly in the direction of the stadium!
Damn!
Yinglili!
The image of the blonde girl with twin ponytails who stayed at home instantly flashed into his mind.
"Everyone, stand by!"
Su Chen's voice suddenly rang out, cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Stay alert! Yui, take care of Sagiri, and the others!"
He pointed to the group of bewildered survivors.
"Yukino, Mai, Utaha! Prepare for battle!"
Without waiting for everyone's reaction.
His figure had already become a blurry afterimage. Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly broke through the symbolic iron gate of Zongwu High School and sped towards the stadium!
"Su Chenjun!"
Yui called out anxiously, but only saw a figure quickly disappearing into the distance.
"Don't panic!"
Yukino Yukinoshita forced herself to calm down, and she glanced at Mai Sakurajima and Utaha Kasumigaoka, whose expressions were equally serious.
"Let's follow!"
……
Su Chen's speed has reached its limit.
The "Innate Qi" cultivated through the "Triple Rebirth" technique erupted wildly in his leg muscles.
With each stomp of his foot, he left a clear footprint on the cracked cement road.
The surrounding scenery rushed past.
Less than ten seconds.
The familiar stadium that housed their first "home" had come into view.
The gate was tightly shut.
From the outside, there was no sound and nothing seemed amiss.
It was as if nothing had happened inside.
But Su Chen's spiritual senses were screaming wildly!
That nauseating, malicious stench... originated behind this door!
He took out the still-functioning walkie-talkie he had found at the TV station from his pocket and tuned it to the agreed-upon private channel.
"Eri! I heard you!"
"Eri-ri!"
……
The only response he received was a hissing, ominous electrical noise.
Su Chen's face darkened completely.
He no longer hesitated.
Lift your leg and concentrate your "primordial Qi" into a single point.
Then, facing the stadium door—forged from thick steel, strong enough to withstand a small explosion—
He kicked it hard!
boom--
A deafening bang!
The sturdy door lock, along with the door frame, was as fragile as paper in the face of this unreasonable violence, instantly deforming and cracking!
He kicked the entire iron gate so hard that it flew backwards through the door frame!
Su Chen's figure, like a demon god carrying the wrath of thunder, rushed into the hall.
however--
The scene before him made his heart, which had always been calm and unmoved, suddenly shrink!
The stadium was completely empty!
There was no fierce battle as I had imagined.
There is no blood.
Not even a shadow of a monster could be seen.
There was only one place, a deathly silence.
as well as……
Scattered in the center of the floor were a trampled sketchbook and several pencils broken in half.
That was the tool he gave Eriri to use to draw a monster encyclopedia.
Su Chen's gaze slowly swept over the empty stadium.
Finally, the focus settled on the half-open, dark door of the equipment room.
The source of that evil aura is right there.
And Eriri...
They've disappeared!
Chapter Twenty-Two: The Arrogance of the Blonde Twin-Tailed
An hour ago.
The stadium was very quiet.
Eriri sat alone on the cushion, with a drawing board on her lap.
She was very focused on her drawing.
On her sketchbook, the shapeless outline of the Black Mud Monster and the eerie feeling between reality and illusion of the Shadow Monster were perfectly reproduced by her pencil.
It was even more oppressive than Su Chen had described.
This is the talent of the genius illustrator, Eriri Sawamura.
But she couldn't calm down at all.
"...Haven't they come back yet?"
She stopped writing, muttered something under her breath, and her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the tightly closed iron gate.
A day has passed.
Will Su Chen and his group encounter any danger?
That guy, although he has a sharp tongue and a terrible personality.
but……
Eriri's mind uncontrollably recalled the focused and serious profile of the other person when they treated her ankle.
And then there was that powerful hand, the strange sensation as it brushed against my calf.
"Ugh, what am I thinking?!"
The blonde girl's cheeks flushed instantly.
She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off these chaotic thoughts.
"I'm not worried about him! I'm just... I'm just afraid they'll all die, and then no one will take me to find food! Yes, that's it!"
She mentally prepared herself while picking up her pen again.
at this time.
Boom, boom, boom.
A soft, hesitant knock suddenly came from outside the heavy iron door.
"!"
Eriri's body froze instantly.
The pencil in my hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
Who?
Is it Su Chen and the others who are back?
wrong.
Given that man's level of violence, if he came back, he would only kick the door open; he would never be so "polite."
That is……
monster?
Eriri's face turned pale at the thought of this possibility.
She frantically grabbed the drawing board beside her, scrambling and crawling behind a vaulting box, her body trembling like a wet kitten.
How to do?How to do?
Su Chen's words before he left echoed in her mind.
"The task of guarding the house is entrusted to you."
If you encounter danger, shout for help.
Should we shout?
But can he hear it?
Just as she was struggling with her inner conflict, a weak, tearful voice, belonging to a young woman, came from outside the door.
