"Do I look so pathetic that I'd become a kidnapper just to have sex with girls?!"

Kyosuke Kousaka was devastated.

Li Mo took out his phone and started playing "Detective Conan ~ Main Stage (バラ一ド? ヴァ一ジョン)". He patted Kousaka Kyosuke on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother Kousaka, if you have anything to say, let's talk slowly while we eat pork chop rice later."

"Has it reached the stage of conviction? Isn't that a bit too fast?! No, that's not the point! I'm not a criminal!"

Kyosuke Kousaka was completely depressed.

"Hey you."

Xiao Tongtong looked at her brother.

"By the way, Kirino, you won't misunderstand me—"

Kyosuke Kousaka's eyes lit up as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"You must reform yourself and become a new person. Mom and Dad will definitely be... well, not that excited..."

"It hurts! Kirino, your verbal attacks are the most painful!"

Kyosuke Kousaka collapsed, holding his chest.

After the group joked around for a while, although Kousaka Kirino still didn't look completely relaxed, her expression was obviously much more relaxed than when she first arrived.

After all, everyone knew that no matter whether Kousaka Kirino's friend had disappeared, been abducted by a stalker, or had simply been sent to northern Myanmar... it was already beyond the scope of ordinary people like them, and they could only rely on the island country's police agencies to be more effective.

Even for Li Mo, it would be unlikely to easily find a girl who had been missing for five days without any clues.

"The joke ends here, then."

Saori wiped her glasses and said to the Kousaka siblings, "Would you like something to eat? I'll treat you today, so feel free to order!"

"Hey, is this a joke?"

Kitagawa Umi was stunned for a moment.

"Could it be that Miss Kitagawa really thinks I'm a kidnapper?"

Kyosuke Kousaka's eyes turned dead fish eyes as he looked at the blonde hottie.

“…That’s not the case~”

Kitagawa Umi looked away guiltily.

"Then I want vanilla frappuccino, sea salt cheesecake, light cheesecake, half-baked mango cheesecake, and walking blueberry cake—"

Kousaka Kirino picked up the menu and started ordering one by one.

"Hey, even if Saori is treating, your order is really rude!"

Kousaka Kyosuke hurriedly said, "Just order one or two cakes or something!"

"I want to eat Ayase's portion as well... Wu!"

Kousaka Kirino said with her cheeks puffed out.

"Calm down, your classmate Ayase has no idea you're in the otaku club, right? And are all those dessert calories really okay? Aren't you going to be a model for a magazine soon?"

"No Road Race!"

"Ahaha, it's okay Kyosuke-kun, it's just some cakes. I still have some spare pocket money, so it's best to let Kirito-kun vent a little."

The good Saori said with a smile, then she looked at Li Mo and asked, "By the way, Zhuoma-kun, did the Kuroneko say when she would arrive?"

"She has some family matters, so she will be leaving a little later. But at this time, she should be there soon."

Li Mo looked at the time on his phone and speculated.

"That's great..."

Before Saori could finish her words, Li Mo suddenly stood up as if he had discovered something, his expression somewhat unpleasant. She looked at Li Mo, who had almost spilled his black coffee, with confusion, and asked, "Mr. Takuma?"

"Sorry, I have to leave for a moment."

Li Mo said hello to the others and quickly rushed out of the cafe. "You guys can have fun by yourselves. You don't have to wait for me and Black Cat."

The others looked at Li Mo's back in a daze.

Only Saori looked at Li Mo's unfinished black coffee, and a worried look appeared on her pretty face, which was mostly hidden by the thick otaku glasses.

Chapter 302: Ghost.

A few minutes ago——

"Really? I already said I have something else to do today..."

Gokou Ruri ran down the road, muttering to herself.

Two days ago, she told her mother in advance that she would go out and play with friends on the weekend and asked her mother to take care of Tama and Hinata.

As a result, her mother was busy running to the convenience store to buy discounted goods today, and only returned home just now, allowing the girl to temporarily escape from the hell of her two younger sisters being naughty children.

"It's already quite late..."

She took out her cell phone to check the time, then made up her mind and turned into a small alley on the side of the road to avoid the sight of passers-by.

After rushing into the alley, the girl's figure suddenly disappeared, as if blending into the air. The next moment, a nimble little black cat lightly jumped onto the top of the wall and walked nimbly along the narrow edge.

It ignored the complex terrain and went straight through the courtyards of each household, as if following some invisible guidance, rushing towards the tram station in the shortest straight line.

This is much more useful than the human body!

The girl who turned into a cat said this in her heart.

However, when passing by a shabby courtyard that was obviously uninhabited, the girl who had turned into a black cat suddenly stopped.

Animals possess a 'sixth sense' that humans have long lost in evolution, just as mice can sense earthquakes in advance and some birds can predict storms.

At this time, the girl who transformed into a little black cat also reawakened this almost instinctive "sixth sense" to some extent.

Although her sense was far less mysterious than Aunt Four Hundred's spider sense, she was still able to keenly sense the approach of danger. Whether it was subtle changes in the air or potential threats in the surrounding environment, she could sense something unusual in advance, as if she had an invisible antenna in her body, constantly receiving warning signals from the outside world.

Suddenly, something fell from the sky.

The little black cat dodged instinctively.

Then she discovered that it was a white snake broken into two pieces.

The cat's golden pupils suddenly shrank into a line.

She looked around vigilantly - although Li Mo did not mention it explicitly, the girl knew that he had arranged small snakes in the dark to serve as an early warning.

A gust of cold wind blew across the back of her neck without warning, bringing a biting chill. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the cat's fur stood up instinctively.

There was a low buzzing sound in her ears, like some sound that did not belong to this world, coming from all directions, pressing on her eardrums, and her originally erect ears suddenly became airplane ears.

The next moment, a creepy feeling crept up the girl's spine.

An impossibly tall figure stood not far behind her. It was so thin it barely resembled a human, its limbs stretched like shadows. Its pale face was featureless, a suffocating blankness. It leaned forward slightly, as if silently gazing at her, though it lacked eyes.

Gokou Ruri tried to retreat, but found that her body was so stiff from excessive tension and fear that her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move.

The terrifying figure began to twist, and the air around it seemed to be torn apart, making a teeth-grinding tearing sound.

The next second, its arm suddenly stretched out and attacked her like a black tentacle, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

The cat's reaction ability, which far exceeds that of humans, finally came in handy. Even though the girl's heart was still gripped by fear, her body still acted instinctively, jumping high to avoid the opponent's attack.

However, new tentacles sprouted from behind the slender ghost in an indescribable form, sweeping towards the little black cat that was in mid-air and had nowhere to gain support.

The little black cat changed back into human form with a bang, and used the force generated during the transformation to push itself away from its original place, narrowly avoiding the opponent's tentacles again.

"【cat】!"

After rolling on the ground, Gogen Ruri gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down, then cast a spell directly at the slender ghost.

But the spell did not work completely. The lower half of the slender figure turned into a strange cat-like creature covered with eyes, while the upper half simply had a pair of cat ears, which made it look even more twisted and terrifying than before.

Fortunately, a twisted cat is still a cat, and any cat is within the range of the Gogen Liuli curse.

Then the lower body of the slender ghost began to twitch as if there was a disorder in the motor nerves, making it unable to continue to move normally. Even the tentacles that grew back turned into cat tails and could no longer cause any harm to Gogen Ruri.

However, the slender ghost did not give up, or rather, this monster had no concept of "giving up" at all. It began to crawl on the ground, crawling towards the girl in a wriggling posture, giving Goosebumps to Ruri Goku.

Do you want to use the spell [Cat] on it again?

The intuitive alarm bells from the curse rang loudly, telling her that she couldn't do this.

No matter what, at least I got a chance to escape, the girl thought to herself.

However, at the moment when she was about to turn back into a kitten and run away, an indescribable malice, as if it was about to become tangible, made her feel cold all over, as if even the blood flowing in her veins was frozen, and her whole body froze.

Behind her, another tall and thin ghost figure appeared at some point.

No, not the other one.

The air around seemed to freeze, so heavy that it made it hard to breathe.

The girl stood in the middle of the deserted courtyard, with weeds spreading wildly under her feet and a gray sky above her head. The sunlight was blocked by thick clouds, leaving only a suffocating darkness.

Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaved violently, and her eyes glanced around in panic - she didn't know since when, those tall and thin figures had quietly surrounded her.

One by one, they emerged from the shadows, their bodies so thin and elongated they defied all natural laws. Their pale faces were featureless, a chilling blankness. Their limbs resembled elongated shadows, twisted and grotesque, ready to pounce from any angle. They moved silently, their steps so light they seemed to float above the ground, yet they carried an indescribable sense of oppression, as if even the air itself was warped by their presence.

Despair surged over her like a tide, and she knew she had nowhere to escape.

Those pale faces swayed before her eyes, as if silently mocking her powerlessness.

Her consciousness gradually blurred, and all that remained in her ears was the devastating buzzing sound and the silent gazes of those ghosts.

In her last conscious moment, she seemed to see their figures twisting and merging in the air, turning into an endless darkness that completely swallowed her.

The next moment, a figure wrapped in blazing flames fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard.

Like a god.

Chapter 303: Instant Kill.

After sensing that the snake he sent to protect Wu Geng Liuli had been eliminated, Li Mo immediately headed towards the place where it disappeared.

Then, at the critical moment, he found the girl surrounded by the tall and thin ghost.

"Senior Takumi..."

The girl tried to muster her strength and called out weakly.

"Don't force yourself. It's okay to take a break. Leave the rest to me."

Li Mo said.

Then he looked at those shadowy ghosts, and the temperature in his eyes suddenly dropped.

Perhaps because they were afraid of the cursed fire scales on Li Mo's body that could burn strange things, the ghosts kept hesitating and wandering around, not daring to move forward. But even so, they didn't seem to want to give up on kidnapping Wu Geng Liuli.

However, they did not realize that the moment they entered the range of the spell, their fate was already sealed.

Li Mo did not hesitate at all to take action against the monster who had no ability to speak and could not be tortured to get any information.

"【candle】!"

The next moment.

White flames rose out of nowhere and climbed up the bodies of the ghosts.

The movements of the slender ghosts came to an abrupt halt, and their bodies began to tremble violently. Although there were no facial features on their pale faces, they seemed to feel extreme pain and fear.

The flames spread rapidly, climbing up along its limbs. Wherever they reached, the already illusory body began to disintegrate, like a wax figure burned by high temperature, gradually melting into a pool of black liquid.

The liquid struggled on the ground, trying to condense into shape again, but the white flames devoured it completely without mercy.

The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell mixed with a sickening odor of decay.

The slender ghost figure became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared completely in the flames, leaving only wisps of black smoke that slowly dissipated in the air.

The white flames also went out, and the overgrown courtyard fell into darkness again - the flames burned the arrogant ghost, but did not even harm a single weed in the courtyard - the suffocating malice from before was gone.

The girl who witnessed all this finally couldn't bear it any longer.

Her legs seemed to have lost all their strength, her body swayed slightly, and then the world before her eyes suddenly fell into darkness.

Her consciousness seemed to be submerged by an invisible tide, and her whole body fell forward powerlessly, like a light leaf falling in the wind.
