What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

Not long after escorting the villagers away from the village, Kurihana Kanao spotted a bus approaching from the roadside.

Moreover, this was a bus with no passengers other than the driver.

'Does a bus pass by here during this time?'

Kanao glanced at the sun, which was already setting on the horizon.

But considering Remilia's abilities, she wasn't surprised.

Then, Kurihana Kanao told the villagers to wait where they were, and rushed forward by herself, as if she had used 'high-speed movement', running to a relative standstill with the moving bus.

"Driver, please wait!"

Kanao tapped on the car window with her hand.

"I go!"

The driver saw a little girl running and knocking on the car window, and he was so frightened that he thought he had encountered a female ghost on the roadside.

I meant to step on the gas, but I stepped on the brake instead.

Click!

After the bus stopped, the panicked driver not only didn't start the engine again, but also subconsciously pressed the button to open the doors.

"Driver..."

Kanao Tsukihana got into the car, about to say something.

"Don't get me into trouble!"

The driver was so frightened that he curled up in his seat.

Kurihana Kanao: ?

"Ahem! Sir driver, I don't mean to harm you... I have something very important that I need your help with."

Kanao thought it was her attitude that was bad, so she spoke gently, mimicking Kanae's tone.

"If you need help, go to a nearby temple! I'm just an ordinary bus driver!"

However, it had the opposite effect.

The driver became even more convinced that he had been targeted by a female ghost.

'Are they treating me like a ghost...?'

It was only then that Kanao Tsuyuri realized what was happening.

He then shook his head in frustration, realizing that he wasn't very good at speaking and couldn't explain things clearly to the driver.

But the villagers behind need this bus to get them to safety...

[When you encounter someone you can't reason with, you should give them a good beating!]

At this moment, Kanao remembered what Chen Xiao had said to someone on the phone when she was still a figurine.

At the time, Chen Xiao even clenched his fist in a fighting stance. (Same pose as VV)

Thinking of this, Kanao Tsuyuri drew her Nichirin Blade from her waist.

The kind that comes with a scabbard.

bump--!

It punctured the plastic panel next to the driver's seat in one go!

"Please listen to me, driver!"

"OK! OK! OK!!!"

The driver's eyes instantly cleared.

"I'm not a female ghost, I'm just... a traveler who happened to be passing by. I met villagers in a nearby village who needed help, so I stopped this bus."

After explaining, Kanao Tsukihana told the driver to back up.

The driver, startled again, quickly reversed the car, and this time he didn't accidentally press the wrong accelerator or brake pedal or shift to the wrong gear.

Upon closer inspection, the girl did not resemble a female ghost at all; rather, she looked like a fairy descended from heaven.

It's so beautiful!

"So many people? What happened?!"

Upon seeing the group of villagers, both young and old, some with bruises on their faces, the driver finally understood.

"Our village has been taken over by a group of bad guys! They seem to be planning even worse things. If it weren't for this fairy sister, we probably wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow!"

The first kid to board the bus explained to the driver.

"Then why didn't you call the police?"

The driver instinctively asked a question in return.

"At first, we couldn't get through on our phones at all. When we finally got a signal, all our phones were taken away..."

"Oh, this."

The driver scratched his head.

"But my car can't carry everyone."

"Please take the elderly, women, and children to a safe place first. For the rest of you, please come back, driver."

"Kurihana gave the order," Kanako instructed.

"Well... okay."

The driver realized that such a big incident might make the news, and if he chickened out and ran away, he would be infamous for eternity.

So he hesitated for only a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Fairy sister, what about you?"

Just as Kanao got out of the car and was about to leave, the boy who had led the way asked her with some reluctance.

"I need to go back and help my sister and the others, and rescue the rest of them."

Kanao Tsukihana reached out and patted the boy's head, revealing a gentle smile just like Kanae's.

"..."

The boy hesitated for a moment, then stopped himself from speaking.

After Kanao Tsuyuri left, the villagers on the bus immediately borrowed a cell phone from the driver and promptly called the police.

The police officer's expression changed instantly upon receiving the emergency call.

Not long after, Lorna and Alita, the two vampire sisters, boarded a military aircraft under official arrangements.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Eight Times the Muscle Density, Absolutely Shocking!

While everyone was racing against time, on a mountain path more than ten kilometers away from the village, Chen Xia's mountaineering team, along with Akashiya Moka and Kanroji Mitsuri, were still leisurely climbing the mountain.

As for that firecracker that was more than ten kilometers away?

They obviously didn't hear it.

Furthermore, to avoid arousing suspicion, Kanae and the others did not send any more messages to the two.

"Is the sun about to set?"

Chen Xia looked up at the horizon.

It's funny, actually. I'm pretending to be a regular hiker, climbing with two pink-haired girls, and my speed is about the same as when I'm carrying a load.

The plan was to arrive at the mountaintop at dusk and spend the night at a rest stop disguised as a convenience store.

'But I'm afraid I won't be able to get a proper rest today.'

Chen Xia glanced at the two girls behind her.

She thought that if the other party didn't cooperate with the investigation, then she wouldn't blame her for using gang tactics to take them down.

We're almost at the top of the mountain!

Kanroji Mitsuri pointed to the small shop that could be vaguely seen in the distance, hidden among the trees, and shouted happily.

Just as everyone walked out of the mountain path and onto the cement road in front of the convenience store, Akashiya Moka's nose suddenly twitched.

Her vampire instinctual thirst for blood made her realize something was wrong.

"This is the smell of blood?!"

"Mengxiang?"

Noticing Akashiya Moka's unusual state, Kanroji Mitsuri also showed a serious expression.

Something's not right!

Chen Xia, who had intended to send a message to the people in the convenience store to cooperate, also noticed the problem when she got close to the entrance of the convenience store.

But before she could shout for the others to retreat, a huge creature suddenly rushed out from inside the convenience store!

No, it was a burly man whose entire body seemed to be made of steel.

"Explosive punch!"

Chen Xia instinctively swung her fist and punched the burly man in the abdomen.

But it had no effect.

"How could this be?!"

Chen Xia was startled by what she saw.

I clearly put all my strength into it, which would have caused a normal person to explode and die instantly, so how come the other person is completely unharmed?

"Hehe... I am the Steel Man who has awakened a body of steel!"

The muscular man puffed out his chest and revealed a smug smile.

"Unless your fists can shatter tank-grade steel, your attacks are useless against me!"

As he spoke, he also observed the others behind Chen Xia. Apart from two pink-haired girls who were not in the intelligence, everyone else was present.

"Send the signal quickly!"

Chen Xia called out to the others behind her.

"Captain! The signal here is being blocked."

The young man who took out his phone discovered that the signal, which had been full bars just moments before, was now completely gone.

"This is a trap!"

Chen Xia immediately realized that someone was targeting them.

Not only did they occupy the rest stop in advance, but they also blocked the signal, and the superpowered individuals they sent were the type who restrained themselves!

"Damn it..."

Although she had expected that she wouldn't be able to get a proper rest today, she didn't expect that while she guessed the outcome, she didn't guess the reason correctly.

"Captain Chen Xia!"

Others wanted to help, but the sudden gunshots made them instinctively dodge to the side, but some were still hit.

A group of heavily armed men appeared on the rooftop; compared to the rabble in the village, these were the real mercenaries.

Moreover, reality is not like the movie. At this distance and height, the people below are simply moving targets to them!

It is almost impossible to outline a human body.

"You have guns? Who are you... the Ten of Clubs? You're a poker organization!"

Chen Xia tensed all her muscles, slowly putting distance between herself and the Steel Man, and then she saw the card hanging on his chest.

"Correct answer!"

Steel Man grinned.

Then he bent down slightly, assuming a charging stance.
