Isn't it said that when you first go to war, it's usually the enemy who loses?
How could the difference in combat strength between the two sides be so great!
The intelligence is false?!
Before Shika could even investigate the veracity of the intelligence, the enemy had already begun the process of finishing off the victims and examining the bodies, showing a determination to wipe them out completely.
Shihua's expression changed, and she hurriedly struggled to try to escape the battlefield.
However, the defeated body had little strength left, and it was already exhausting all its strength to crawl along.
Before she could completely escape the battlefield, the hunter's large hand had already grabbed her ankle.
Shihua's pupils dilated, and before she could even beg for mercy, she was suddenly pulled back to her original position.
What followed was the killer's increasingly frenzied and cruel assassinations, as if he intended to wipe out all life.
Completely powerless to fight back, Shika could only burrow into the blankets, trying to use the blankets as a barrier to block the threat and better conceal all movement.
But she was a few beats too slow, and just as she managed to slip inside the barrier, the murderer followed her in.
The safe blanket barrier instantly transformed into the most dangerous prison, with no way to escape.
In that instant, Shihua felt as if she had fallen into a true abyss, and no matter how much she struggled and climbed, she could not reach the path to survival that was so close at hand.
Meanwhile, the demonic hand from the abyss continued to sweep in from below, pulling her further down until she was completely assimilated into the abyss.
As she fell, falling, Toka's consciousness completely evaporated in that instant.
"Hehe, a few more drinks, please."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's cheerful, dreamlike murmurs echoed softly, accompanied by her arms swaying slightly as she raised them.
But after only a moment, she changed to a hugging posture, mumbling indistinctly—
"Jiang Qiu, fill my glass, mmm, it smells delicious."
“I’m telling you, those guys are all useless jerks, don’t let them give you any confidence.”
"You're still too green in front of me, hehe."
""
Jiang Qiu, expressionless, reached out from under the covers and cast a healing spell on Hiratsuka Shizuka.
With a violent spasm resembling possession, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately tilted her head to the side and became completely still.
Jiang Qiu tentatively poked the other person's pretty face, and only after confirming that they wouldn't cause any more trouble did she feel relieved.
But at that moment, the seemingly defeated Toka suddenly sprang to life, rushing straight to the door despite her injuries.
She didn't care about anything else, like the intimate whispering and cuddling until dawn after it was over, or about seizing the initiative!
Her intuition told her that if she stayed here any longer, she would definitely die a horrible death!
The moment the footsteps sounded from behind, Toka was so frightened that her ahoge (cowlick) stood on end. She hurriedly opened the door and staggered out.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiu's pursuit was not fast. Shi Hua hid at full speed, even subconsciously holding her breath.
If she had known the enemy's actual combat capabilities were so terrifying, she wouldn't have provoked them.
She's the prey!
The moment Jiang Qiu's murderous figure appeared in the living room, Shi Hua's heart skipped a beat, hidden in the shadows.
But when she noticed the bloodstains she had accidentally spilled along the way, her expression changed drastically.
Calm down, calm down. It's so dark in the living room tonight, the other party shouldn't be able to find out.
As long as we survive this calamity
Before Shika could even think about what to do after dodging, a hand had already silently landed on her shoulder, making her tremble all over.
Turning around, she saw Jiang Qiu's murderous eyes, and her heart sank to the bottom.
But then a fierce glint flashed in her eyes—
Fight!
This guy has used up so much energy today, plus the crazy physical exam, he might be at his last gasp!
If we fight to the death, we might just win!
The next second—
Shihua launched a desperate counterattack.
Shihua collapsed on the dining table.
Chapter 66, Section 67: Her sleep quality was as good as that of a specific victim in the video.
Saint Chef Restaurant Staff Notification Group:
[Saint Chef Restaurant is closed today, but salaries will be paid as usual at six times the standard rate, and there's also a holiday bonus to be claimed.]
Please be punctual for work tomorrow.
""
Early in the morning, the employees of Saint Chef Restaurant received the message one after another and groggily tossed their phones aside.
It's rare to have such a wonderful dream; I can savor it again.
Just three more minutes of sleep!
But within seconds, everyone opened their horrified eyes and checked their phones repeatedly.
It doesn't seem like a dream?
What the hell? !
Before the employees could recover from their shock, several huge red envelopes were sent to the group chat, and everyone received one.
Everyone's morning grumpiness, which had been suppressed to the extreme by the news of paid leave, vanished instantly at this moment thanks to the comforting numbers.
If they could, they would even like to move to the restaurant to sleep.
Restaurants these days are even warmer than home!
But is today some special day? Why are there so many good news stories coming out so early in the morning?
Just as the employees were wondering what was going on, Shihua breathed her last after sending the message.
As her arm hung limply down, a shocking sight of blood slid down her jade-like arm.
Just as the phone reached my fingertips, I could no longer hold it and it fell to the floor.
Seeing that the blood-soaked figure was about to fall off the bed, Jiang Qiu quickly pulled him back to her side.
Even though the movements were quite gentle, Toka still couldn't help but let out a series of indistinct mutterings.
After whimpering for a while, she fell into a deep sleep, and even the ahoge (cowlick) on her head drooped down.
Even as she slept, she couldn't help but snuggle closer to Jiang Qiu, craving that comforting warmth.
Jiang Qiu gently patted Shika's bloodied back, coaxing her to sleep more peacefully, before turning her gaze to Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was sprawled on a beanbag chair in the distance.
All night long, the other person slept as well as the victims in those short videos.
Even when committing violence right in front of the other party, he showed no signs of waking up, which was quite admirable.
However, despite my admiration, there are still some troubles to deal with after the incident.
After sighing, Jiang Qiu could only carefully loosen her grip on Shi Hua and start changing her clothes.
Only after he had tidied up the room and left no evidence on his body did he cover Toka with a blanket, turn around and grab Hiratsuka Shizuka, dragging her out like a corpse.
As the door closed, just in case, Jiang Qiu didn't forget to put up a notice on it—
[A Pokémon was spotted inside the house; extermination is underway. Please do not open the seal.]
After finishing all that, he tossed Hiratsuka Shizuka onto the sofa and turned to go into the bathroom to wash up.
Although Jiang Qiu is still energetic, he can clearly feel his entire body trembling and twitching unnaturally.
The aftereffects of his training and frenzied battles at night are now gradually becoming apparent. Even though the medicinal wine provided by Feixiao is exceptionally effective, it is still difficult to suppress the consequences of his frenzied fighting.
Jiang Qiu grimaced as she brushed her teeth, her whole body aching, and the dazed and exhausted feeling from staying up all night gradually rising up.
Jiang Qiu wanted to forcefully recover using healing techniques, but considering the terrifying energy drain, she could only reluctantly give up.
This time, there's no quick recovery like after completing a mission; if you're not careful, you might really get completely drained.
I can only catch up on sleep at school.
As Hongxia emerged from the bathroom, rubbing her aching arms, she swayed her small body and wandered out of the guest room as if sleepwalking.
"Good morning."
Hongxia greeted Jiang Qiu in a daze, her eyes barely open.
"I got up a little early today."
"Rikka must have been dreaming something, because she suddenly kicked me off the bed and woke me up."
Hongxia mumbled weakly, her little face full of resentment at having her sweet dream disturbed.
She would never share a bed with Rikka again; she couldn't even remember how many times Rikka had woken her up by her antics.
I feel more at ease sleeping with my sister. Although she might only hug her plush toy at first, she will eventually hold me comfortably in her arms.
Hongxia rubbed her sleepy eyes and, as she walked into the bathroom, didn't forget to ask—
"What was for breakfast again today?"
"Sister Shihua can't get up today, so we'll have to go to the school gate to find something to eat ourselves."
"Eh? What happened?"
"Last night she came to the living room looking for water and discovered the little elf; those things fly."
"That's enough! You don't need to say anything more!!"
Hongxia quickly stopped the other person from continuing, her face turning deathly pale.
Even when Victoria Housekeeping was disinfecting Kiku's room, they never heard that the little elf could fly!
Just imagining the terrifying scene of the little elf accurately attacking her face in the middle of the night made Hongxia's heart skip a beat.
This room is uninhabitable!
After scaring Hongxia away, Jiang Qiu went to the guest room to wake up Rikka and Mikasa.
Of course, they didn't forget about Hiratsuka Shizuka on the sofa either.
The terrifying legend of the little elves was spread again, which quickly brought everyone back to their senses.
The room, which was so familiar, had suddenly become terrifying, and I dared not linger there any longer.
Normally, washing up takes quite a bit of time, but today it only took a few minutes.
Only after everyone had escaped the room and locked the door did the shadow hanging over their hearts begin to fade.
"Isn't it a bit cruel of us to just leave my sister and the others inside like this?"
"Auspicious people have their own destiny."
"If they come after you, don't expect us to help you."
"Are you going back to save them?"
"That's not necessary!"
Looking at the tightly closed door, the group sincerely repented for a moment before decisively speeding up their departure.
This place is ominous; it is not advisable to stay here any longer!
As the group strolled toward the school, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to sense something amiss and rubbed her stomach in a daze.
Why does it feel like I've been beaten up in the middle of the night?
"Jiang Qiu, did that guy Ju Li get drunk again and then dump me?"
"She'll collapse even faster than you, she won't have the energy to bother you."
"It was your own fault for not holding the bottle properly when you put it in the container; it fell back onto your stomach and didn't wake you up."
"Is that right?"
