How could he be here?
Yukino Fuyumi lowered the wrist she had intended to raise.
She wasn't quite sure if this little boy knew she was a demi-human, so she couldn't act rashly. If she were discovered… she couldn't possibly kill this boy as well.
Speaking of which, he wouldn't be worried about me, would he… Yukino Fuyumi thought to herself, delighted.
Then, "I don't like you" echoed in her mind again.
…Hmph, it definitely wasn't like that.
While Yukino Fuyumi was lost in thought, Mike also gritted his teeth.
This little rascal appeared at the most inopportune moment.
So much so that it gave him a false impression.
Could it be his own hallucination… Of course, it wouldn't be a hallucination.
Yes, the little rascal now was not a hallucination.
But, when they met in the hallway before, was that little rascal really that formidable? Recalling it now, the memory seemed to blur.
It seems,
Mike said, as if hypnotizing himself, he wasn't that capable after all. It must have been that he was too careless back then, which led to a momentary oversight.
Look at his arm, like a thin stick. How could it unleash such powerful strength?
That's right, that's right—it must have been his carelessness that caused it.
This time, he absolutely couldn't be careless!
With just one blow, he would shatter that brat's molar!!
Thinking so, Mike said no more.
He stomped his foot, intending to close in on Lin Cun'an in one go, his fist already clenched, and veins bulging on his arm like coiling dragons.
"Go to hell! Brat!!" he roared!
Yukino Fuyumi was startled, exclaiming her carelessness!!
Although she couldn't expose her identity in front of this little boy, she couldn't let him get hurt either!
If she had to choose between letting him get hurt and exposing her identity, Yukino Fuyumi… would actually lean towards the latter, but at this distance, even with her abilities, it was too late to intercept.
However, Lin Cun'an was not flustered at all.
He merely smiled slightly.
His feet spread slightly, and he stood firm.
'Thousand-Pound Drop EX' skill activated!
His legs were like roots embedded in the ground!!
And then!
'Boom'!!
Lin Cun'an also simultaneously threw a punch with his right hand!!
Fist against fist!
A slender, stick-like arm met an arm like a pillar!!
"Die!!" Mike felt victory was already in his grasp.
But as soon as the two fists connected, he noticed something was wrong.
Wait, wait—
How, how could it be so painful!?
'Crack,' he heard something snap, and then his arm twisted back at an incredible angle.
So much so that… he even saw pinkish-white bone breaking through the skin.
His arm… Mike's eyes widened, broken?
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!" Mike screamed piercingly.
He half-crouched, clutching his broken arm.
With 'Fantasy Killer' and 'Thousand-Pound Drop EX' used simultaneously, at least at the point of contact with his 'right fist,' Lin Cun'an was like a wall, completely unmoving.
"Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, so noisy."
Lin Cun'an untied the white cloth from his back, then squatted down: "Mr. Mike, you said it yourself, didn't you? No one comes here, and there are no surveillance cameras."
"You, what do you want to do?" Mike had a very bad premonition.
And then his premonition came true.
Lin Cun'an first asked Yukino Fuyumi: "Madam, you won't tell anyone about today, will you?"
Yukino Fuyumi subconsciously shook her head.
Lin Cun'an wasn't afraid of her telling, after all, he also held a secret of this lady.
So, first, a strike landed on Mike's lower body.
"Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh—" Mike felt the pain of his groin being hit.
"You installed surveillance in my room, didn't you?"
"Oh oh oh… you, you brat…"
"You provoked me, didn't you?"
Crack!
Another strike, directly breaking Mike's other leg.
In fact, after the Aihara Yamato incident, Lin Cun'an rarely beat people like this.
He realized that even in this "h-game world," there were rules, and Lin Cun'an couldn't easily try to be an outlaw.
But this time, this Mike really found himself a prime location.
"You're the black big shot, right!?"
Another strike.
"You're formidable, right!?"
Another strike.
"You bullied Madam Yukino, right!?"
Another strike.
"You looked at Yayoi Big Sis, right!?"
Another strike.
"Hmm… you breathe air, right!?"
Another strike.
"You step on the ground, right!?"
Another strike.
"… … Uh uh." Lin Cun'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, then let out a sigh of relief, turned around, and asked Yukino Fuyumi with a smile: "Madam, do you have any good reasons to beat him? I'm running out of words."
"Um," Yukino Fuyumi pointed at Mike, who was barely breathing: "You, if you keep hitting him, he'll be dead soon—"
Lin Cun'an glanced at Mike. Under his repeated strikes, the black man was already bleeding from his nose and mouth, and the joints of his limbs were twisted at different angles.
"Being close to death is close to death; being dead is dead. These are two different concepts and cannot be confused," Lin Cun'an said.
Then, he stabbed Mike in the crotch again with a strike, ensuring he would never be able to change from "Thick" to "tree" in this lifetime.
He looked at Yukino Fuyumi, unsure what emotions the latter would display upon seeing a dead person. After thinking for a moment, he kicked Mike down the riverbank.
There was a five or six-meter drop between the riverbank and the river. Mike's angle of descent wasn't too steep, but given his current state, it was probably enough to make it difficult for him to survive.
Lin Cun'an clapped his hands:
"Let's go."
Yukino Fuyumi watched Mike roll down. She had originally wanted to deliver a finishing blow but was afraid of scaring Lin Cun'an, so she gave up.
She nodded, obediently following Lin Cun'an's footsteps.
Lin Cun'an picked up the plastic bag, opened a can of beer, and tilted his head back for a drink.
Yukino Fuyumi had originally wanted to remind him that he wasn't yet an adult, but thinking about what had just happened… what difference did being an adult or not make?
The streetlights by the riverbank were still flickering.
And the person below the riverbank was left unnoticed.
After an unknown amount of time, the moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds.
A police car with flashing lights suddenly stopped there, and the car door opened.
A young police officer covered his mouth and rushed out from the driver's seat.
"Ugh—damn, I drank too much flammable oolong tea. If I hadn't turned on the police lights for an unimpeded journey, I probably would have been stopped for inspection by my colleagues in the traffic department—"
He dry-heaved a few times, and after nothing came out.
He took two steps towards the edge of the riverbank, just about to pull out something to relieve himself, when he suddenly saw something squirming at the dark river's edge.
"Oh my god." The young police officer took off his sunglasses—wearing sunglasses to drive at night, he was a tough guy.
Then he bent his knees slightly and slid down. He finally discovered the true identity of the squirming flesh: it seemed to be a black man.
"Comrade!" the young police officer shouted: "I am police man, can you understand? What happened to you? What's your name?"
The black man was already paralyzed, and he grabbed onto a lifeline as if it were a straw: "I, I am Mike—"
"Alright, comrade, please wait a moment!" The young police officer pulled something out.
Mike was overjoyed, thinking this Easterner was going to call him an ambulance, but what he didn't expect was that the latter pulled out a pistol and aimed it at his head.
Without another word, he fired, and the bullet went through his forehead.
"Le." The young police officer blew on the suppressor, then walked up while pulling out his phone, and began to write the report: "...Passing through Shikenjaya, I was attacked by a black man named Mike, hmm, the motive... he wanted to do a zero-yuan purchase, thankfully, I, with my heroic demeanor, counter-killed him, protecting the peaceful life of the citizens of Shikenjaya—that's how the report will be written. Hehe, it seems I can get a promotion and a raise again."
