I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

Upon hearing this, the thugs around her looked disappointed. If Tianyin dared to resist, according to the rules, everyone who had contributed would be able to have sex with her.

But judging from Tianyin's current posture, it seems she's going to obediently listen to him. If that's the case, tonight will definitely be all for the boss, and the rest of them won't get a chance.

Yokoyama thought so too. Since Tenon had already expressed her agreement, and Tenon had asked so many questions, one more wouldn't make a difference, so Yokoyama readily agreed.

"Ask whatever you want."

Tianyin squatted down, gazing at Xiaotian, whose eyes were vacant and who was still crying silently.

"You seem very upset? If so, why don't you kill them?"

Kill him?

Xiaotian stopped crying at Tianyin's shocking words and looked at her with fear.

Just now, when Tianyin asked her why she didn't kill Hengshan and the others, she answered so calmly, which reminded me of the strange feeling on Tianyin's arm.

Xiaotian's face turned pale instantly; she couldn't believe that a teenage girl could defeat several adults.

However, the oppressive feeling that Tenon brought her far exceeded that of Yokoyama, who terrified her.

"I can not……"

"I understand."

Click.

Xiaotian's eyes widened instantly, and then he slowly collapsed to the ground.

All of this happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.

"I thought it would be interesting, but it just turned out to be a story that ruined my mood. How unlucky."

"you wanna die!!"

One of the thugs picked up a baseball bat and started hitting Amane in the back. It wasn't that he didn't know that hitting the head with a baseball bat would maximize the damage, but rather that Yokoyama had forbidden them from hitting the victim's vitals in the first place, for fear of causing a fatality.

boom!

The baseball bat struck Tianyin squarely in the back.

Just as the thug smiled upon seeing the hand that had attacked him, his smile froze on the face that Tianyin found repulsive.

"Haven't you eaten?"

Click!

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

This was followed by a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered.

"Aaaaaah!!! My hand! My hand!!!"

With a loud clang.

The metal baseball bat fell from the thug's hand and landed on the ground.

Tianyin bent down, picked up the baseball bat, and gently tapped her palm, watching the trembling thugs with amusement.

Yellow liquid appeared on the ground beneath one of the feet, and a foul odor permeated the air.

It seems they were terrified by Tianyin's voice.

However, anyone would be terrified to see someone who, after being hit hard with a metal baseball bat, not utter a sound and calmly bend their teammate's arm into a "7" shape.

The only one in this group who remained rational was Yokoyama Yudai. Having been in this business for many years, he could tell at a glance that Tenon was a tough nut to crack. If they tried to run away now, they would probably be hunted down. Rather than spending the rest of their lives on the run, they might as well take a gamble now.

"Attack her together! She only has two hands!"

Yokoyama Yudai roared and pulled out a boning knife, stabbing it towards Tenon's back.

...

Ding.

With a crisp sound of metal blades hitting the ground, Tianyin calmly stepped over the group, carrying a baseball bat.

"Six seconds, that's barely passing."

Just as Tianyin was about to leave, she inadvertently glanced at Xiaotian, who was lying on the ground gazing up at the night sky.

boom!

A streak of light, like a shooting star, streaked across the sky, followed by a huge firework bursting open, turning the gray night sky into a kaleidoscope of colors.

The fireworks display has begun.

Compared to the crowded square, the dark corner of this amusement park seemed rather desolate.

As the sounds of fireworks being launched rang out one after another, cheers grew louder and louder in the distance, and a large number of glow sticks were waved in the night sky, looking from afar like a dazzling, leaping fire serpent in the night sky.

"It's so beautiful, just like the fireworks display I saw with my parents at the New Year's festival. You must think so too, right?"

Xiaotian muttered to herself, then tried to turn her head to look at Tianyin, but only felt a sharp pain in her neck; she could no longer move her neck.

"Perhaps."

Tianyin's eyes dimmed briefly before returning to their icy gaze.

"Perhaps? You're so pathetic... I, at least, I still, I still, I still enjoyed, I still experienced happiness..."

"Say less, and you can probably last another three minutes."

"Only I understand... smoke."

"I don't like girls smoking."

"Please... cough cough cough... please... cough cough."

Tianyin silently took a cigarette from Xiaotian's body and lit it for him.

Seeing that Xiaotian was unable to hold a cigarette, Tianyin could only forcefully shove the cigarette into Xiaotian's mouth and light it.

Xiaotian's gaze was incredibly complex at this moment, containing resentment towards Tianyin for her ruthlessness, curiosity about Tianyin's past, and gratitude towards Tianyin.

She's about to be free.

With his mouth stuffed with cigarette smoke and unable to speak, Xiaotian could only watch quietly as the fireworks rose and fell in the night sky.

Tianyin sat quietly beside her and watched with her, although Tianyin didn't know why she was doing it.

Suddenly, Xiaotian tugged at Tianyin's hand and wrote the word 'escape' on it.

Then, with the last of his strength, he pointed his finger behind him.

The direction Oda was pointing to looked like an abandoned garage. Oda probably knew there were no security cameras there, which is why he sent Amane there to escape. That place was probably also their playground for abusing victims.

"It's alright, I am..."

Before Tianyin could finish speaking, the hand silently fell to the ground.

The last wisp of firework under the night sky also burned out at this moment.

The fireworks display has ended.

"It's time to go."

Tianyin took out a family crest from her pocket, which featured a white bird entwined in a wreath of black thorns. She flicked it lightly with her thumb, and the metal crest tumbled a few times in the air before falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

Tianyin left the scene from the front.

Looking back on her actions, Tianyin suddenly felt a little ridiculous. It seemed that she was no different from those scumbags, and even more brutal than them.

Despite her heinous crimes and right to face legal judgment, she becomes a hero who punishes evil and promotes good in the face of a small emblem.

"Perhaps we should consider talking to the old man."

Chapter 124: The Bear Shrank!

As soon as Tianyin returned to the place where she had set up her Go challenge stall during the day, she heard the sound of a small cart moving quickly forward.

"Heavenly Sounds! Heavenly Sounds!! I've sold them all! And quite a few people didn't even ask me for change, hahaha! We've made a killing this time!"

Kiryuin waved the banknotes in his hand at Tenon with a happy expression.

Tenon only glanced at the banknotes in Kiryuin's hand and didn't pay much attention to them, because what she asked Kiryuin to sell were just some snacks and water. Items like bread, canned goods, and instant noodles were unlikely to be purchased by anyone in an amusement park or while watching fireworks.

Even if they can't be sold, they're not worth much money, but with some money, they can still buy some useful things.

"Well done! I knew only you, Maple, could handle this task."

"hey-hey!"

When Tenon praised her, Kiryuin Kaede immediately showed a smug expression. Looking at Kaede's expression, Tenon couldn't help but think with a wicked sense of humor that if she gave Kaede a tail, would that tail be spinning around like a windmill right now?

"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Maple."

"What's next?"

"Canned food, bread, and the drinking water I left behind—that's enough for us to have one meal tomorrow."

Amane had saved up all the usable and unsellable food in advance. Among them, the most filling food was the canned beef that Amane herself had forgotten the name of, which was given to her by the old man who wanted her to become the second generation.

Those few bottles of head-changing medicine were enough to feed Sakayanagi and Kiryuin to their hearts' content, but it was a bit rudimentary. Next time we go mountain climbing, we absolutely must not just follow Kiryuin's lousy guide and go.

"Wow! They even have canned food! Wait a minute, why would someone bring canned food to an amusement park?"

Kiryuin curiously picked up a can of food and asked in confusion.

"I'm not sure either. Anyway, let's take these things back. It's getting late, and if we go back early, we can cook a nice meal."

Kiryuin's eyes lit up at the mention of delicious food. While the convenience store bento boxes weren't bad, they were definitely not delicious.

After eating fast food for two days in a row, Kiryuin couldn't take it anymore. So when she heard that Amane was going back to prepare something delicious for them, she suddenly became very motivated. She quickly loaded the things onto the cart and happily pushed it ahead.

Tianyin followed behind, carrying camping gear.

As Tianyin stepped out of the amusement park, she glanced back in a certain direction.

"Goodbye."

As soon as they got back to their hotel room, Kiryuin couldn't wait to unload the food and drinking water and then go downstairs to the convenience store to return the car. Amane, on the other hand, just casually put her camping gear in the corner of the room, figuring she'd need it for the hike the next day and it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Welcome back.

As soon as Tenon unbuttoned her clothes, she saw Sakayanagi come out of the makeshift kitchen carrying a steaming cup of tea.

"I am back."

Sakayanagi casually took Amane's clothes and helped her hang them on the slightly faded hanger.

"Tianyin, have you smoked?"

Sakayanagi keenly detected the lingering cigarette scent on Amane's clothes. Amane herself hadn't smoked, so she must have picked up the smell from being there for too long.

"I wouldn't smoke that kind of stuff. It must have been some tourists smoking that accidentally left me smelling like smoke, right? But it's been so long, the smell should have faded a lot by now. I didn't expect you to have such a good nose, Arisu..."

As soon as Tenon turned around, she saw Sakayanagi sniffing her clothes.

The two exchanged a glance and fell silent.

"I'm back! Arisu, today I'm... um? What game are you two playing?"

As soon as Kiryuin opened the door, he saw the two people who looked like statues, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should go into the room.

With Kiryuin's interruption, the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.

"Welcome back, Maple. What did you say was wrong?"

Sakayanagi smiled as he hung up Amane's clothes, then leaned on his cane and sat down on the sofa.

After taking off her shoes and socks, Tianyin planned to take a shower first.

During that time, the two seemed to understand each other without looking at each other again.

"Where was I? Oh right! It was when I got there tonight that Amane told me... It's such a shame you didn't go, Ayumi! The amusement park has a fireworks show at night, and the fireworks are really beautiful. Amane didn't tell me about this when we went, otherwise I definitely would have taken you. That's so mean!!!"

Sakayanagi covered his mouth and chuckled softly when he heard Kiryuin's sarcastic remarks and complaints.

"Tianyin probably didn't notice this while she was playing chess all day, but I did enjoy the fireworks display with you all! You could even see the amusement park from the window of my room."

"I almost forgot that the amusement park is quite close to here. Oh right, it seems that Tenon is planning to go mountain climbing tomorrow. Arisu, your body..."

Amane went out early this morning to set up her Go challenge stall, while Kiryuin slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. However, after she stretched, she discovered that Sakayanagi, who always had the habit of getting up early to read, was also sleeping in just like her.

Just as Kiryuin was about to tease Sakayanagi, she noticed that Sakayanagi's expression was unusually unpleasant. Kiryuin immediately sensed something was wrong. When she placed her hand on Sakayanagi's head, she could clearly feel that the temperature from Sakayanagi's forehead to her palm was slightly higher than normal.

It must have been the wind that caught his breath while traveling that caused Sakayanagi to develop a low-grade fever.
