Before he could even warn her, he saw her dive down neatly and evade the attack of the cursed spirit. The movement was not a standard boxing move, but a completely instinctive reaction of her body. The claw attack of the cursed spirit almost brushed past Yukinoshita's head, which made Hikigaya Hachiman tremble with fear.
After dodging the attack of the cursed spirit, it is naturally time to counterattack.
Yukino Yukinoshita did not use the Aikido moves taught to her by her mother, but instead threw a straightforward straight punch with very simple and clear movements.
Twist your body, retract your fist, and punch.
The fist wrapped in blue-green cursed power smashed into the fish-head of the cursed spirit. The tip of the fist sank deeply into the soft flesh, and even the pair of big eyes were bulged out.
The disgusting wet and slippery touch came through her skin, but the girl did not care too much about it, because her brain was filled with a kind of exhilarating pleasure, as if all the negative emotions were poured into this punch. After throwing a punch, her whole body felt much more comfortable.
The cursed spirit was knocked flying, rolled twice on the ground and hit the wall heavily. Dark purple blood exploded directly from its body and smeared on the concrete wall like a blooming flower.
"Ah?" Hikigaya Hachiman opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, "Is this the end?"
Is it Uncle Lin Qi who is here to play for you?
However, the second pair of eyes, symbolizing Lin Qi's possession state, did not open. Although it was a little unbelievable, Hikigaya Hachiman had to admit that the action just now was done by Yukinoshita Yukino herself.
After throwing a punch, Yukinoshita Yukino was panting, her chest rising and falling, but it was not because of fatigue, but because of the excitement in her heart. Even a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
Could it be that Yukinoshita is actually a guy who advocates the use of force at heart?
Looking at the smile on her face, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but speculate in his heart that it seemed that not only Lin Qi, but even Yukinoshita herself could not be offended.
[How is it?] After successfully defeating the cursed spirit, Yukino Yukinoshita said in her heart, [Can you please take back that sigh you made earlier, Parasite-kun?]
Lin Qi snorted twice and said nothing, but Xueshita didn't care either, thinking that he was just being sulky and refusing to praise her honestly.
"It looks like it's over." After a while, the fishman cursed spirit didn't move. Yukinoshita Yukino turned around, lifted her hair, and said with a smile, "I've dealt with your kind. I hope you won't be depressed because of this."
"How is that possible?" Hikigaya Hachiman said with a frown, "Since the cursed spirit has been exorcised, can we leave now?"
Just as Lin Qi said, the strength of the third-level curse spirit is indeed very weak... Is it really so?
"Hey... stay... and work overtime? Overtime... for free..." A big hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling, and then an ugly big head popped out from it.
Just like a classic scene in a novel, the flag that had just been planted was immediately taken back.
……
……
Chapter 21: Nigeludayo!
A huge yellow-green worm popped its head out from the ceiling. The weird thing was that the bloated caterpillar had a set of creepy human-like features on its head. The uncanny valley effect was like a wild alarm bell ringing in the two people's hearts.
"Could this be the unscrupulous boss of the cursed spirit just now?" Listening to the capitalist declarations repeated by the insect, Hikigaya Hachiman felt that it should be on the street lamp, not in this office building.
After complaining subconsciously, Hikigaya's expression suddenly changed. He realized something serious: "Could it be that the third-level cursed spirit that Uncle Lin Qi mentioned is this guy!?"
The cursed spirit that Yukinoshita defeated just now was just a small monster! ?
Judging from the difference in size between the two, this caterpillar boss is much stronger than that fishman office worker!
Just the head sticking out from the ceiling is already as big as three murloc cursed spirits, not to mention the body parts that have not yet been exposed.
"Give me...overtime...overtime!!!"
Accompanied by a violent vibration, the caterpillar boss roared out from the ceiling and landed heavily on the ground. Its huge body almost occupied the entire space, separating Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman.
It twisted its body, and several load-bearing columns were squeezed to form cracks, and several pieces of rubble were shattered.
Looking at the insect body so close at hand, Hikigaya Hachiman gritted his teeth and swung his fist, but his strength was far less than that of Yukinoshita Yukino, and he only made the hit part slightly dent, but it was quickly bounced back. The feeling of the punch was like punching the belly of a fat man weighing several hundred pounds, and the damage was severely reduced.
Not only did he fail to cause enough damage to the cursed spirit, but he also angered it.
"If you don't work overtime... I'll be fired!!!" the insect roared, and pairs of limbs suddenly emerged from both sides of its round body. It changed from a caterpillar to a millipede-like creature, and its densely packed legs moved together, which would make people with millipedes faint on the spot.
Fortunately, after Hikigaya Hachiman threw a punch and saw that it had no effect, he immediately stepped back and distanced himself from the cursed spirit, otherwise he would have ended up being ripped open by the sharp legs that had suddenly grown out of him.
Yukinoshita Yukino, who was about to attack, was also frightened by the changes in the cursed spirit, but the cursed spirit's attention was not on her. It swayed its body and arched its head towards Hikigaya Hachiman.
However, the huge body of the cursed spirit could not move at all in this relatively narrow space. The load-bearing columns made of reinforced concrete were completely unable to withstand the pressure of its movement, and one of the load-bearing columns was actually broken!
The broken stone pillar fell with a loud noise, and the dust raised made Yukinoshita Yukino cough.
The view in front of her was completely blocked by the huge body of the cursed spirit. She had no idea what was happening with Hikigaya Hachiman, so she could only shout, "Hikigaya, run outside! This building will be knocked down by this cursed spirit!"
The cursed spirit turned around and faced the dead-eyed boy. Its mouthparts, which were as thick as his waist, opened and closed, and even the mucus attached to them was clearly visible. A strong fishy smell hit his face.
He stood there in a daze, seemingly frightened.
Fortunately, Yukinoshita Yukino's shout came from the other side in time, and Hikigaya Hachiman quickly came to his senses, turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "Where is this weak!?"
Fortunately, the stairs were on his side, so he didn't need to jump over the cursed spirit to go downstairs.
Hikigaya Hachiman ran downstairs quickly. It was pitiful to see him like that. Even when he was forced to sign up for the 200-meter sprint in the school sports meet in junior high school, he couldn't run as fast as he does now.
However, humans only have two legs, while this cursed spirit has countless limbs, and each limb is almost as tall as a human being. If the narrow space had not hindered its movement, Hikigaya would probably have been bitten by the scary pair of mouthparts before he could reach the stairs.
The cursed spirit crashed into the remaining load-bearing pillars along the way, and its huge head was squeezed into the even narrower stairwell, temporarily unable to move forward.
Hikigaya Hachiman ran into the stairwell in time and got a chance to catch his breath. He looked back at the insect heads that filled the stairwell. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the cursed spirit suddenly open its mouth full of spiral teeth, and a thick tongue shot out like an arrow!
His pupils suddenly shrank and he instinctively pulled his body down, barely avoiding this unexpected fatal blow. However, he also lost his balance and tumbled down the stairs, with the steps hitting his chest and back, and the pain was so severe that tears came out of his eyes.
The tongue shot out by the cursed spirit actually pierced through the wall directly, and several pieces of rubble flew out and hit Hikigaya Hachiman. If he had not had time to dodge, his body would have been shattered.
There was no time to continue lying there. Hikigaya Hachiman didn't care how embarrassing his movements were. He rolled and crawled to the first floor and successfully escaped to the outdoors.
Then he saw Yukinoshita Yukino jumping down from the broken window on the second floor. She rolled on the ground to relieve some of the impact and came to his side.
"Are you okay?" Looking at the bruised and battered appearance of her companion, Yukinoshita Yukino asked with some concern.
"...It hurts so much, please help me, Uncle Lin Qi." Hikigaya Hachiman said with a grin.
The office building in front of the two people suddenly shook violently, and a big hole was knocked out on the side of the building. The cursed spirit roared out of it. It was blocked by the narrow staircase, and it actually chose to break through the wall directly!
"Oh no, that's bad." Lin Qi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I forgot to put down the [curtain]."
"What you mean is..." Yukinoshita Yukino recalled the knowledge he had once popularized to the two of them.
"This is a big commotion." Lin Qi's tone was unusually awkward, "But it doesn't matter, ordinary people can't see the curse spirit."
"This is a big problem, okay!?" Yukinoshita Yukino's defense was broken. Not to mention the huge noise she made, looking at the building that was becoming shaky under the rampage of the cursed spirits, she only realized now that this was her family's property!
"Ahem!" This is hard to say.
Black lines slowly appeared on Yukinoshita Yukino's face, and her second pair of eyes opened. Lin Qi waved her hand, and the cursed spirit that was chasing Hikigaya Hachiman and making him flee with his head in his hands was chopped into several pieces...
Along with the crumbling abandoned building.
"Run away."
As Lin Qi spoke, she picked up Hikigaya Hachiman with one hand, and the two figures disappeared on the spot.
Before long, several fire trucks surrounded the accident scene which had been turned into ruins.
……
……
Chapter 22: It seems like there are a lot of things you can’t let go of?
As the project manager, a call came to Yukinoshita Haruno's cell phone not long after the accident at the construction site.
"It collapsed!" Yukinoshita Haruno suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and her tone unconsciously rose a few degrees, "What does collapsed mean?"
"Well, it means exactly what it says, Ms. Yang No... the site has now been cordoned off by the fire department, and they are investigating the cause of the collapse." A complex tone with a hint of subtle absurdity came from the phone.
"I know, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, the subordinate who was at the scene thoughtfully sent a photo of the scene.
In the photo, the construction site has been surrounded by a cordon. Several firefighters wearing helmets are busy working. Some are searching for possible victims with police dogs, and some are checking for potential fire hazards. There are also many curious onlookers around, and the original old office building has turned into a pile of ruins.
"Ah?" Even the smart Yukinoshita Haruno didn't understand. How come the building was fine in the afternoon and collapsed in less than two hours? ? ?
She suddenly remembered that her sister Yukino was nearby in the afternoon, so she quickly called her.
"Dudu... Hello, sister?"
The cold voice of Yukinoshita Yukino came from the phone. It didn't sound like anything was wrong. Yang No breathed a sigh of relief: "Xue Noo, where are you now?"
"I'm at home. What's wrong?" The voice on the phone sounded a little strange, as if with a hint of inexplicable guilt.
"The office building that our company rented collapsed for some unknown reason. Were you and your classmates at the scene? Were you injured?"
"..." After a strange silence, Yukinoshita Yukino's voice sounded again, "Collapsed? Wasn't it fine in the afternoon? We were just passing by and didn't stay there."
Instinctively, she noticed that something was wrong with her sister Yukino, but after thinking carefully, she couldn't tell what was wrong. Yukinoshita Haruno had to put this little doubt aside for the time being and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I guess it's because the building is too old. I don't know either. The cause of the collapse is still under investigation."
"I still have to go to the scene, so I'll hang up now."
After the call was hung up, Yukinoshita Yukino put down the phone. Her face froze for a moment before she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You kid, you really can't lie." Lin Qi complained, "Weren't you very skilled at lying when you called to ask for leave to deceive that Hiratsuka teacher?"
"Teacher Hiratsuka can't compare to my sister..." When facing Haruno, Yukinoshita Yukino was like being restrained by four times the attribute and couldn't win at all.
When Yukinoshita Haruno called, Yukinoshita Yukino's mind went blank. While she was still struggling with how to hide it from her sister, Lin Qi took over her body and fooled her with her voice.
If Yukinoshita Yukino were to answer the phone herself, she would probably stammer for a long time without being able to utter a word, and it would only be a matter of time before she was exposed.
"But if you ask me, with this kind of acting skills, if he enters the entertainment industry, he will definitely win an Oscar."
"I'm astonished that you can beautify lying like this." After slightly scolding Lin Qi, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting on the sofa, lowered her head slightly, her eyes a little absent-minded, "It turns out that my sister can talk to me properly."
Since when did Yukinoshita Haruno's tone when talking to her become either teasing or serious to convey her mother's thoughts at home? The anxious look on Haruno's face on the phone just now was something Yukinoshita seemed to have not seen for a long time.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it a normal thing to worry about your own sister?" Lin Qi continued the girl's words, hoping to divert her attention from the fact that she had chopped down the building of their Yukinoshita family.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't notice Lin Qi's sinister intentions, and continued in a trance: "Ordinary..."
Can the Yukinoshita family still be considered an ordinary family?
Although in her opinion, a strict mother, a kind father, and an excellent elder sister, all of these seem quite ordinary.
"It seems like my sister has liked teasing me since I was a child. Although I'm somewhat used to it now, I still can't cope with it." Yukinoshita Yukino said softly, as if she was recalling her childhood, with a trace of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.
In her memory, Yang Nao was not like she is now when she was a child. Although she also liked to tease her, the relationship between the two sisters was still very close. Until she graduated from elementary school and went abroad to study in junior high school, the two often slept in the same bed and kept in touch when they were abroad.
Since when did the relationship between the two begin to slowly become like this?
The girl leaned on the sofa, looking up at the chandelier on the ceiling. The warm light spread in her eyes and turned into blurry crosses.
"You seem to have a lot of things that you can't let go of?" Lin Qi advised, "You should be more carefree."
"Yes, if I could be as carefree as Parasyte and just have fun making people angry, I could probably live a carefree life." Yukinoshita Yukino said with a chuckle. She suddenly felt that Lin Qi was somewhat similar to her sister.
When I thought of Lin Qi and Yukinoshita Haruno, I thought of the phone call Haruno just made, and then I thought of the old office building that was cut into pieces by Lin Qi.
The anger flared up all of a sudden.
"By the way, you should have something to say to me, right?" Yukinoshita Yukino said coldly.
"Aba Aba?"
"Don't act stupid!"
The girl frowned and scolded softly.
“Is that how you talk to your savior?!” Lin Qi tried to take the initiative and shouted, “This was originally a test between you and Hikigaya. If you can defeat that cursed spirit, then nothing will happen!”
"Apart from the facts, aren't you at fault at all!?"
"I..." Xue Zhi, who was frightened by Lin Qi's voice, showed an embarrassment, and the momentum in her tone weakened a bit, "Even if this is the case, there are better options, right?"
"Do you want me to chop the cursed spirit into small pieces?"
"Wait, what you just said was just specious, right?" However, Yukinoshita Yukino finally reacted, "What do you mean by ignoring the facts?"
"Please explain it to me!"
"I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious yet." Lin Qi decided to calm down and talk to her properly.
"Although I accidentally demolished the building, think about it, if I hadn't taken action, the building wouldn't have lasted long under the destruction of the cursed spirits and would have collapsed sooner or later. I just accelerated the process."
"Look at the bright side. Maybe the building was originally going to be demolished and rebuilt. I saved your sister the cost of demolishing the building. You should thank me."
"Finally, it's all thanks to me that I noticed the cursed spirit in that place. Otherwise, when the construction officially started, all the workers would be killed by the cursed spirit. Maybe even your sister would be killed. With this in mind, you should thank me even more."
The more Lin Qi spoke, the more confident she became, and she didn't notice Yukinoshita Yukino's face full of gloom.
"Why don't you say thank you, Brother Lin!?"
