Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

They were kept in the research institute after being heavily restrained.

Every so often, kagune are extracted from ghouls for research or weapon manufacturing.

Just like raising animals, the research institute is also raising these valuable 'alien species'.

Chapter Thirty-Two: It's always been there.

In the past few days, Shengshan Chuanxin has felt that something is not right.

His heart always beats very fast, and he often wakes up in a fright at night.

There's always a nameless fear in my heart, as if I've seen something terrifying.

But he had absolutely no recollection of it.

"Heh, it can't be those guys coming to get revenge on me, can it?"

With a self-deprecating laugh, Shengshan Chuanxin quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Perhaps it's because he has already chosen his next target.

Shengshan Chuanshin has a little secret.

He has a little quirk that he doesn't like to share with outsiders: he likes to fight.

Enjoy the thrill of beating others, and also enjoy the pain of being beaten.

This will bring him a different kind of excitement.

He discovered this when he was very young, but he hid it very well.

When he grew up, he built a huge basement under his villa and transformed it into a fighting ring.

He used some underhanded tactics to lure people to the underground arena, where they would then fight.

Only one person can leave the underground arena alive.

He has done this many times before, and each time he is the one who survives.

The victims even included a Sanda champion.

But that doesn't mean he's someone who dares to challenge the strong.

He's just a psychopathic killer.

Among those he led into the underground arena to brutally kill were not only Sanda champions, but also ordinary housewives and college students.

In his words, after enjoying a main meal, it's good to have some dessert occasionally.

For him, there was no psychological burden whatsoever in torturing and killing a person who was completely unable to resist.

At most, they might find it a bit boring to hit a punching bag that offers no resistance.

Katsuyama Toshin casually tossed his clothes into the washing machine and prepared to take a shower.

Just as he turned around, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye.

what is that?

It looks like a tall, slender human.

But the gray skin and distorted face told him that this was not human.

"you!"

Suddenly turning around, Katsuyama Denshin assumed a defensive stance, ready to face the monster.

But when he looked over, there was nothing on the balcony.

A gentle breeze blew in through the open window, softly ruffling the clothes hanging on the balcony.

"What...what was I about to do?"

Somewhat bewildered, Shengshan Chuanshin patted his face, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

My heart was pounding, and the back of my clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

And what is your posture like, as if you are guarding against someone?

"No, it's not human!"

This thought suddenly flashed through Shengshan Chuanshin's mind.

He definitely didn't see a human just now; it was something else entirely.

With a slight twitch in the corner of his eye, Katsuyama Denshin seemed to understand something.

Why am I feeling so strange lately? Why do I keep waking up in the middle of the night?

Clearly, something was watching him.

In the dead of night, it stood quietly by the bedside, staring silently at Shengshan Chuanxin.

Perhaps it's the footsteps as they move, or perhaps it's the slightest breath.

Katsuyama Denshin, who was asleep, keenly noticed this and woke up with a start.

That face, enough to terrify a child, came into his view.

Every time Katsuyama Denshin tries to resist, the other party disappears.

Along with it, Katsuyama Denshin's memories also disappeared.

"It's troublesome."

Gritting his teeth, Shengshan Chuanxin's expression shifted unpredictably.

A few seconds later, he made a decision to check the surveillance footage he had installed.

When he left the balcony, his memory went blank once again.

"What am I supposed to do?"

Shengshan Chuanxin, who was running, slowly came to a stop.

In the end what happened?

Why do I need to run?

Where am I going?

Oh, right, I need to check the surveillance footage.

but why?

Countless questions swirled in Shengshan Chuanshin's mind.

What he didn't see was a tall, thin, gray humanoid monster standing quietly at the end of the corridor, coldly watching Shengshan Chuanxin's back.

"Nine-Tailed Fox Team One, in position."

"Nine-Tailed Fox Team Two, in position."

"The City Scoundrels Team One is in position."

"Ghostbusters Team One, in position."

Outside Shengshan Chuanshin's house, the various teams from the research institute quietly surrounded him.

With great effort, the skull mirror managed to recall some fragmented information.

With Joseph's Hermit Purple, they successfully located the opponent's position.

If we're lucky enough, the research institute can gain another D-level resource—no, I mean member.

"Don't make any rash moves yet. We are inspecting the situation inside the building."

A synthesized voice entered everyone's ears through the headset.

No one spoke, and no one made any unnecessary movements.

At that moment, they were like cold sculptures rather than living people.

At that moment, Katsuyama Denshin was hiding in his bedroom checking his surveillance footage.

"Damn it!"

Shengshan Chuanshin slammed his fist on the table, his expression not looking good.

Because of his peculiar hobby, Katsuyama Denshin's home security camera installation was very particular.

While avoiding the area around the entrance to the underground arena, it also allows monitoring of most of the room's interior.

But at that moment, he noticed nothing.

At least as far as he could remember, he checked the surveillance footage four times but found nothing.

Logically speaking, a normal person should have given up on checking the surveillance footage by now.

But Shengshan Chuanshin didn't; he firmly believed that something must have happened to him.

Covering his forehead, Shengshan Chuanshin leaned back.

My eyes inadvertently caught sight of a message on the computer screen.

'Number of views: 14'

Staring blankly at the line of text on the computer screen, Shengshan Chuanshin felt a chill run down his spine.

what happened?

14 times?

when?

"Snapped!"

He slammed his hand on the table and sat up, staring intently at the computer screen.

"This is?"

A fountain pen was lying beside Shengshan Chuanshin's hand at that moment.

The pressed white paper was covered with marks.

The spilled ink was everywhere, but Shengshan Denshin didn't care about the bottle of ink.

Because he saw a line of text.

'Don't take your eyes off the computer!'

This looks like his own handwriting?

'Number of views: 27'

This time, Katsuyama Denshin saw things clearly.

A monster is in his house.

It's there when I'm sleeping, it's there when I'm eating, it's there when I'm taking a shower.

It was even there when we were fighting in the underground arena a couple of days ago.

It has always been by Shengshan Chuanxin's side.

In other words, even now...

Stiffly turning his head, Katsuyama Denshin prayed silently in his heart.

Don't appear, don't appear.

But he was disappointed.

That ferocious face and Shengshan Denshin had an 'intimate' close encounter.

This time, it did not disappear.

Because it's no longer necessary.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A scream came from Shengshan Chuanshin's mouth.

Even the research institute members waiting outside could hear it clearly.
