Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

Ruo Ye Mu was a little stunned and seemed to have not yet reacted.

The changes in that instant were so fast that Ruo Yemu didn't even have time to understand what was happening before his eyes.

She was still immersed in the shock of the cold and indifferent eyes, but "Toyokawa Shoko" had already revealed an expression she had never seen before.

The tilt of her head held a certain morbid grace, and the curve of her lips, no longer a gentle smile, became a malicious grin. Her blue twintails swung between the movements, like the tails of a hunter.

"?!"

Wakaba Mu's pupils shrank as she saw Xiangzi's body instantly shift into an attacking stance. The movement was clean and sharp, full of professional lethality, something completely out of the reach of the usually gentle Toyokawa Xiangzi.

The fist broke through the air, bringing with it a sharp sound of wind.

The target is directly aimed at the abdomen, which is a vital point that can make a person lose the ability to move.

The blow came too fast and too suddenly, and Ruo Yemu couldn't even make any defensive moves. She could only watch helplessly as the fist got closer and closer, with an inevitability that could not be avoided.

"boom--!"

The spiritual world was shattered by this blow, shattering into pieces like broken glass.

Ruoye Mu suddenly woke up from the bed, cold sweat soaked his back, and his abdomen seemed to still have the aftereffects of the punch.

——Buzz——

A sharp tinnitus exploded in my mind, like countless tiny needles pricking my nerves.

Wakaba Mu suddenly covered his ears, but the stinging sensation spread from inside and there was nowhere to escape.

The girl's lips trembled uncontrollably, and her already fair complexion now seemed completely bloodless, as pale as a sheet of paper. She seemed to be in some kind of extreme fear.

——She couldn't close her eyes.

.......

PS: I laughed when I wrote this

Chapter 28 Mortis: "Me?"

"Ha ha..."

The sound of rapid breathing was particularly clear in the silent room.

Ruoye Mu felt a tightness in her chest, as if an invisible hand was pressing on her heart. She tried to adjust her breathing, but found that her body was completely out of control.

Cold sweat slid down her cheeks. She mechanically raised her hand to wipe it, but found that her arm was as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

The scene just now was still lingering in front of her eyes, and her heart twitched violently every time she thought about it.

——Calm down...Calm down...

She forced herself to calm down, her body instinctively curled up into a ball, as if to hide herself. She unconsciously held the stuffed rabbit at the head of the bed in her arms, the soft touch giving her a faint sense of security.

After a long time, the tinnitus gradually subsided.

Ruoye Mu took a deep breath and felt the oxygen finally returning to his lungs.

She slowly loosened her grip on the sheets, her knuckles aching from the excessive force.

"water..."

She reached out with difficulty to the glass of water on the bedside table, her hands still shaking slightly.

The warm water slid across her dry throat, bringing a sense of relief. Only then did she realize that her lips had been bitten and were bleeding.

"Xiao Mu, what on earth did you do—?"

It was Mortis's voice, and it was unusually filled with anger and fear.

In the space of consciousness, a large area that originally belonged to the theater was shrouded in darkness.

This was not done by "Toyokawa Shoko", but was Wakaba Mutsu's subconscious escape.

She created a monster that she could not control.

The only way she could "preserve" herself was to seal up the entire theater.

The so-called cession of territory and payment of indemnities is nothing more than this.

"Ah, I already said..."

Mortis was a little mad.

That theater was one of the few places where she could share Wakaba Mu's memories and learn about the outside world.

in other words...

The land Xiao Mu ceded to pay compensation was hers! !

However, although she asked Xiao Mu to be careful, even she did not realize the seriousness of the situation to the current level.

“I thought…”

Ruoye Mu said softly, "That 'person' is just another side of Xiaoxiang, just like you and me..."

"Huh?" Mortis sighed exaggeratedly:

"You don't think that's some cute stress reaction, do you? That kind of murderous aura isn't something an ordinary person can possess."

Ruoye Mu lowered his head, a trace of self-blame flashed in his golden eyes:

"Feel sorry.."

"Xiao Mu, let's just forget it..."

Mortis rarely showed a worried expression, and his voice was filled with tears:

"That 'person' is too dangerous. You saw the look in her eyes, that wasn't even an act!"

"No, no..."

She sat up straight with difficulty, her voice soft but firm:

"Xiang, she is still waiting for me..."

"Are you crazy?"

Mortis jumped down from the table and paced anxiously around the bedroom:

"She must have noticed it!"

"so..."

Wakaba Mu raised his head:

"You go for me."

"I?!"

Mortis pointed at her nose, her face looking like she had seen a ghost. She took a few steps back dramatically, almost tripping over the table:

"real or fake?!"

"You are more lively than me... and more sociable than me..."

Wakaba Mu lowered his head, as if thinking of the gentle behavior of "Toyokawa Shoko" two days ago, and some struggle flashed in his eyes.

She said, "I can't handle her."

"No no no no no!"

Mortis shook his head frantically, his long light green hair leaving afterimages in the air.

"I don't want to die! Didn't you see that smile? It's practically saying 'I'm going to kill you'!"

The piano room fell into a brief silence. Moonlight from outside the window shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled shadows on the floor.

"Then tell me..." Ruo Yemu asked softly, "What should we do?"

Mortis stopped and his expression became serious: "We can..."

She was suddenly stuck and hesitated for a long time but couldn't think of a better solution.

"But..." Mortis bit his lower lip, "What if she finds out..."

Ruoye Mu raised his head: "Then I will come out again."

"I..." Mortis hesitated, his shoulders drooping in frustration. "Okay, but if anything goes wrong I'll run."

"Really..." she complained, "Why should I take this risk with you..."

...

It’s sunny on Saturday.

Kujo Renji looked at the 34,000 yen balance in his account and fell into silence for a long time.

This is still taking into account Toyokawa Shoko's original savings...

According to the original plan, the savings were just enough for him to get through the period before the monthly exam.

I never thought that Wakaba Mu would show up...

Fortunately, the girl did not continue to look for him today.

Although he didn't know the reason, he wouldn't go even if the other party sent him another message.

After three days of fighting wits and courage, I lost 16,000 yen, and this is still a game.

He glanced at the overtime on the panel.

There are four days left for the learning experience bonus.

Today is Saturday, so I went to the library to use up the remaining experience bonus.

The sun was shining brightly, and after walking for about 12 minutes from the west exit of Kanamecho Station, Renji Kujo stood in front of the Toshima Ward Central Library.

This is the district library with the largest collection of books, and it also has an independent study area, making it perfect for self-study.

"call..."

The blue-haired girl sighed softly and found a seat by the window.

I just sat down for a short time.

"Xiao Xiang!"

A crisp sound suddenly rang in his ears, almost making him drop his pen.

When I looked up, it was Chihaya Aine in a white dress, her long pink hair looking especially bright in the sunlight.

"Shh-"

A clear reminder sounded in the library.

"Ah, sorry, sorry!" Chihaya Aine quickly covered her mouth, a cute embarrassment appeared on her face, and her voice immediately lowered.

Her long pink hair swayed gently as she lowered her head, and the sunlight filtered through her hair, casting fine shadows on her fair cheeks.

She quickly raised her head again, looking at Jiujo Renji with sparkling eyes:

"What a coincidence, Xiaoxiang~"

Facing such a pure smile, Jiujo Renji also felt good. He put down the pen in his hand and said in a gentle voice:

"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet Aine-san here too."

Aine's smile grew even brighter, her little canine teeth flickering as she spoke: "I'm here to study, too. I'm just accompanying a friend..."

As she spoke, she turned and waved towards the other end of the library. Kujo Renji followed her movements and saw a girl with a ponytail nodding in her direction.

"Xiaoxiang, do you want to join us?" Aiyin asked expectantly.

"No, I'm more used to being alone."

The answer was brief, but not awkward.

Kujo Renji looked at the spots of sunlight that were cast on the table through Aine's long pink hair, and thought that such a short conversation might be nice.

"OK then."

The girl curled her lips in a slightly regretful manner, but quickly cheered up.

She glanced at the physics textbook spread out on Jiujo Renji's desk, her eyes lighting up:

"Xiao Xiang, if you have any questions, you can always ask me. Don't look at me like this, I'm a very good student!"
