A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

Nakano Nino and Nakano Miku looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

next moment.

"Hey hey hey...Hashidou Sack."

The girl hurriedly raised her hands, trying to hold down her hair that was flying uncontrollably, but it didn't help much.

The hair that was originally falling now split into strands like Medusa's hair, bypassing her hand that was trying to press down on her head.

A smirk appeared in Nakano Nino's eyes, and she crossed her arms and said, "Miku and I are now genuine spiritualists, and you actually doubted it, Yotsuba."

"Okay, hit two four-leaf clover."

Nakano Miku clenched his fist and raised it, posing to show off his muscles.

Don't underestimate them because they have no combat experience.

The change from an ordinary person to an extraordinary person is huge.

Even if they are spiritualists, through the continuous replenishment of spiritual power, their physical fitness has long surpassed that of before.

Apart from anything else, they can easily keep up with the physical development training that Nakano Yotsuba is currently receiving.

"But why..."

She opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Anyway, Yotsuba, go talk to that instructor and come with us."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. Master Zhen should have already informed us in advance."

Really adult?

Nakano Yotsuba frowned slightly.

Although I was puzzled, I believed that she would not say that for no reason, so I did as she said.

…………

The third out-of-city branch.

The holiday will be over in a few hours. Akita Makoto currently has no work on hand, so he just prepares New Year gifts for the girls.

However, before long, Yukinoshita Haruno pushed the door and walked in.

"Sir, this is the list of personnel who will remain on duty at the branch during the annual leave. Please take a look."

After saying that, her eyes fell on Akita Makoto's hand.

The exquisite beads are strung together by a thin string, but they don't look exquisite at all.

Akita didn't help her solve the puzzle. He put the beads aside, took the document she handed over, and glanced at it quickly.

Including the three team leaders, all of them are unfamiliar names.

Generally speaking, people who have to stay in the branch during the holidays are mostly career-oriented people.

"Have you explained the relevant responsibilities and benefits to them?"

"It's clear."

"That's fine."

Akita Shin signed his name and took out his seal to stamp it.

"My lord, you..."

Yukinoshita Haruno took the documents back and was about to ask him what he had just done.

There was suddenly a noise outside.

"How disgusting! How could something like that appear in Kyoto?"

"I feel fine, as long as it's not weird."

"You don't know yet? I heard that people have been eaten in other areas..."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Akita Makoto.

He just looked like he had a headache.

Akita Shin thought that it would be a rare thing if Kyoto could remain peaceful for half a month... no, a week.

Fortunately, this happened before the holiday. If this happened during the holiday, I can’t imagine how happy I would feel.

After putting the beads into the space box, he stood up and walked to the office hall, giving orders:

"Hiratsuka, you are responsible for persuading the citizens not to crowd into the precinct."

"Captains Sawara and Yamakita, lead the other squad leaders to go out and check the specific situation."

The two newly added C-levels were naturally also assigned the position of captain.

"Tsuyama is on guard in the precinct to prevent any accidents from happening."

"..."

Everyone received the order and took action quickly.

Yukinoshita Haruno is responsible for opening the armory and distributing weapons.

Akita Shin brought Yukinoshita Yukino outside.

"mouse……?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, looking at a creature not far away that was obviously several times larger than an ordinary mouse, and subconsciously moved closer to Akita Makoto's position.

Akita Shinya frowned.

Animals are not that rare in Kyoto, but that is only the case with livestock, such as cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and other animals.

Except for the research institute, no one would have the time to raise mice.

The mouse spotted the two people, but showed no signs of running away.

The shadows of two people were imprinted in the dark eyes, making people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

There was no need for Akita Makoto to remind her, Yukinoshita Yukino had already used the Eyes that See Through Illusions.

However, the next moment, there was a dull "bang" sound, and the rat exploded on the spot, with blood and flesh splattering all over the ground.

There was not the slightest foul smell generated, but the ground that was touched by the blood and minced meat made a "sizzling" sound as if it was corroded by strong acid liquid.

"This……"

"Yukino, what did you see?"

Yukinoshita Yukino pointed to the ground and shook her head.

"My Lord, the causal line connects deep into the earth. You can only see clearly less than a few meters. You can't see deeper than that."

Upon hearing this, Akita was also stunned.

Ground……

He was shaking

The ability to see through illusions is certainly convenient for investigation, but that is under the premise that there are no obstacles.

In other words, the more obstacles there are, the harder it is to see.

Given the density of the earth, it would undoubtedly be difficult for her to find the source.

"Let's go look somewhere else first. According to what the citizens said, there must be more than one or two..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Akita Shin thought that something terrible was happening.

Yukinoshita Yukino followed his gaze and looked in confusion.

I saw a ball of blue energy appearing at the place where the mouse was originally located. It was the spiritual power materialized by Akita Shin.

What made her feel unbelievable was that this mental power was actually stained with the blood splashed by the rat and was squirming rapidly in a strange way.

You have to know that this is A-level mental power, not D-level!

"Yukino, next time you encounter a creature like this, don't use your mental power."

Having said that, Akita Makoto had already completed the mental cutting.

But it was not over yet. The severed mental power not only did not dissipate on its own, but instead surrounded the strange pool of blood until it was completely consumed.

Then, under the gaze of the two, one, two, three...

Ten fat rats transformed from blood appeared in the field of vision.

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly felt her scalp tingling.

Not only can they corrode mental strength, but these extremely strange creatures can also be resurrected and increase in number!

The ten mice ignored the two men and ran away in different directions.

Akita frowned and decided to try other methods.

He did not use his mental power anymore, but took a step forward and soon caught up with a mouse, grabbed its tail and lifted it up.

"Squeak-squeak-"

The piercing screams continued, but this time the rat did not explode.

344. Doubt, panic, Yotsuba moves into the mansion, first meeting~

"Yukino, look for a cage or something nearby."

"Yes."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and ran away without any nonsense.

When she returned again, only a few minutes had passed, and she suddenly had an iron cage in her hand.

"Yukino, stay here and watch this mouse. Don't use your ability to see through illusions."

After throwing the mouse into the iron cage and giving some instructions, Akita really disappeared on the spot.

Because he was not sure whether the pool of blood would change after it consumed his mental power.

He had to catch them all.

Based on his experience, Akita Shin had some guesses in his mind.

For example, the reason why the mouse exploded may be due to Yukino Yukinoshita.

Or in other words - Star God.

But now Chi Tong's monthly fee group is 694936135 and there is no time to confirm it.

In the process of capturing the remaining nine mice, Akita's brows became deeper and deeper.

Cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, and even locusts. People who don't know the situation would probably think that Kyoto was hit by an insect plague.

Having learned the lesson from the rat before, he did not act rashly to avoid making the situation more troublesome.

When Akita Shin returned to the original place with the nine escaped mice, Yukinoshita Yukino found a few more cages.

"My Lord, this is very strange, they seem to be just ordinary mice."

"I'll try it first."

Akita Shin caught a mouse in his hand.

The puppet happened to see it, and it instantly widened its eyes and shouted at the top of its voice:

"Master Akita, be careful, those things..."

Before he could finish his words, a small blue sharp blade flew out, brushing against the mouse's fur.

"?"

The puppet stood in mid-air in a daze, looking at the mouse on the ground that was squeaking and running away because of being frightened, with confusion in its heart.

"Master Shin, why didn't it... this time?" Yukinoshita Yukino was also confused.

Akita Shin launched another attack, but seeing that the mouse was still frightened, he didn't seem happy at all. Instead, he felt that he was in big trouble.

After the puppet fell, he explained:

"It seems that these creatures should be able to recognize the danger of death and take extreme measures such as whether to self-destruct."
