I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

About four kilometers to the southeast, you will reach Qingshan Park.

"This is really inconvenient."

"There's no car."

He Zhou couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Nowadays, there are fewer shops in Kirishima, let alone cars.

There are basically only two regional bus services.

This is all for the convenience of students leaving get out of class.

There are only two or three buses running during the break between classes; if you miss one, you have to ride your bicycle home.

On the bus, when the driver heard that they were going to the area of ​​Aoyama Park, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Qingshan Park area? You don't recognize my face."

The driver operates the loop bus at this time every day.

They know exactly who gets off at which stop each day.

Previously, He Zhou and Jiang Dai would usually walk back to Mingde Garden, and Lu An did not live in the Qingshan family compound.

They naturally come less often.

...

Xiao Wen stammered, somewhat embarrassed.

“They are my classmates, they are all very capable, and they helped me pick up my family.”

“They used to live nearby, so they had never used the circular bus before.”

When he talked about it, he felt a strange, inexplicable emotion, and his heart felt a little sore and swollen.

This is a very unfamiliar feeling.

In the past, schools would only tell them to embrace death and welcome death.

When students' seats are occasionally empty, they gradually get used to it and even become numb to it.

but…

Xiao Wen subconsciously looked at He Zhou.

Lao He is different.

...

At this moment, He Zhou was holding Jiang Dai's hand with one hand, grinning and turning his head to say something to her.

Jiang Dai, on the other hand, was completely different from the silent, impatient, and fierce persona they perceived her to be. When facing He Zhou, her eyes were bright and she sat up straight, appearing extremely well-behaved.

"Meow, I'll remember!"

"Then repeat it."

"People want to hold hands with cats."

"!"

He Zhou was speechless: "Is this how I just taught you?"

"Isn't that so?"

Jiang Dai blinked, her eyes filled with doubt: "Okay."

"Well……"

She stared hesitantly at their intertwined hands, her little head starting to work: "Actually, it's meow who wants to hold hands with people."

Xiao Wen found it hard to describe how he felt at that moment.

It was as if he had found a partner, or a bond, that gave him an extra layer of attachment when he thought about death.

...

Lu An closed his eyes and rested beside him.

When Xiao Wen looked over, he didn't react much, but when he heard He Zhou and Jiang Dai talking about holding hands, he suddenly interjected.

"Should we go to Qingshan Park first, or the Qingshan residential area?"

"..."

He Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Qingshan Park first."

The unusual situation in the Qingshan residential area is likely due to the presence of the park.

I just don't know what kind of special item that is.

We should go and take a look first.

After all, that's the source.

After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on me.

"No, you're coming with us?"

“It’s not like the Night Patrol is on a mission right now, so you don’t have to come with us.”

It's come to this point.

He Zhou still doesn't know what this guy's abilities are.

But I always feel like he's following me around like a ghost.

...

"A boring life always needs a little something to spice things up."

After Lu An finished speaking, he added, "You can deal with demons, but what if you need to deal with cultivators?"

"Her cat shadow can't touch anyone."

When dealing with demons, Jiang Dai used a two-pronged approach, unleashing her full power.

However, she wasn't so adept at dealing with cultivators.

"Alright, we're a team now!"

"It has damage output, tankiness, and burst damage!"

He Zhou suddenly fell into deep thought: "However, I'm thinking..."

What are you thinking about?

"Think of a name for our team."

"..."

Lu An closed his eyes to rest, then leaned back in his chair, and what he said sounded inexplicably irritating.

"Things that are boring are meaningless, but if you want to take them, so be it."

"If it were with you guys, dying neatly together... wouldn't be so bad."

...

Upon hearing the words "died neatly," He Zhou couldn't help but feel a dark expression on his face.

Who the hell wants to die alongside you?

I'm going to live!

"What do you mean by 'dying neatly'? From now on, change it to 'living comfortably'!"

"..."

Lu An paused for a moment, then reminded him, "By the way, I suggest you use your abilities less today. Save your energy for crucial moments."

Although He Zhou's abilities are strong and his carrying capacity is growing rapidly, it is undeniable that he has very little energy.

Even if I dedicate all my time to painting, I can only paint for five or six hours.

Not to mention meals and such.

Today he has completely used up his energy; the little energy he just recovered is only enough for one more homing attack.

"Meow, I'm full, lots of meat."

Jiang Dai patted the little jerky in her pocket and looked at He Zhou with her bright, dark eyes: "With meow here! Don't worry!"

"Is my light afraid?"

Wen Tingyu, who had been feigning melancholy and profundity, turned her porcelain-white face to him and said, “An umbrella can be used not only to shield you from the rain, but also as a shield, and… to kill someone.”

...

This scene was suddenly witnessed by comic book readers.

A lot of comments popped up immediately.

[How could I feel warmth in such a gloomy place? I suspect I'm sick.]

[Regarding Lao He's personal charm, aside from Xiao Mao, even Lu An only talks to Lao He; he can't be bothered to participate in any other topics.]

[Wen Tingyu too, and Lao Xiao was probably looking in Lao He's direction just now, right?]

There's nothing we can do. Old He is just too unique in this world. Even we can't resist him, so how could they possibly?

at this time.

Although he knew that comic book readers could see it, He Zhou had no intention of hiding it from them.

When there were few people in the car, He Zhou looked at the abilities and asked Xiao Wen questions.

"Old Xiao, I just saw something awesome... no, I mean, what if there was an ability that could give you an extra layer of turtle shell, which could absorb the energy of an attack and then release it back? What do you think of that?"

...

Just now, in the corner, He Zhou saw several outstanding abilities that were suitable for Xiao Wen.

In addition to the previous petrification.

There is also a special ability of the old turtle demon.

The overall capability looks quite good, with some defensive capabilities and some offensive capabilities.

[Ability: Tide Reversal - Tier 0]

[Source: The old turtle demon, a minor cannon fodder character who shielded the young demon from the cauldron fire in the corner of "The Red Lotus Demon Child Conquers the Dragon King"]

[Effect: Grants yourself or an ally a layer of water-ripple armor for 30 seconds. The armor reduces damage taken during this time and stores the reduced portion of your power.]

One minute later, the accumulated power will automatically be released in all directions, repelling nearby targets.

...

However, the drawbacks are also quite obvious.

Note: The maximum resistance of the zero-tier water ripple armor is related to one's cultivation level and ability tier.

If a single attack exceeds the armor's maximum withstand capacity, the armor will immediately disintegrate, only weakening the attack up to its maximum capacity. The remaining attack will still land on the target.

The accumulated power erupted indiscriminately in all directions.

Before seeing this explanation, He Zhou might have considered whether or not to redeem it for himself.

But after seeing this explanation...

That was something I had no intention of exchanging for myself.

It's very troublesome to have to calculate the absorption limit every time.

Even if it becomes very useful after being upgraded, it can easily hurt you in the early stages.

If you're not careful, you might blow yourself up...

He Zhou would naturally not allow any risk to be involved in his abilities.

...

After hearing this, Xiao Wen felt that this ability was very strong.

"That's amazing!"
