Free Web NovelChapter 493: BCL Chapter 488 Seika: Kissing isn’t lewd!
"Let me see who’s causing trouble?!"
Seika didn’t yet know what had happened. She quickly stood up and left the bar, cracking her knuckles.
As a former delinquent, though she had since turned over a new leaf, Seika didn’t mind using her fists and feet to settle things when someone caused trouble.
Places like exhibition halls were usually frequented by young people. Sometimes, someone would drink too much and cause a scene, and at such times, Seika would step in to quell the disturbance.
Seika still thought the current situation was the same as usual.
However, as she pushed through the chaotic crowd and saw the bespectacled man who had become an abnormal existence, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"...Monster?!"
To date, the official government had announced the existence of dozens of abnormalities.
Among them, the most common abnormality was the Mind Demon right before her eyes.
There was no other way; the concrete jungle of modern society was too oppressive. There were people everywhere who were suffocated by the pressures of life, so Mind Demon appeared the most frequently, and the information about them was the most comprehensive.
This thing is an existence formed by the fusion of human despair and the negative energy of Otherworld. It has no rationality, is cruel and bloodthirsty, its strength will increase by two to several times, and it loses the sense of pain, with its desire to attack directly maxed out... It’s somewhat like zombies in movies, but fortunately, it doesn’t have the contagiousness of zombies.
It’s worth mentioning that with the appearance of the Mind Demon, many malicious superiors and bosses who often enjoyed oppressing and verbally abusing employees have reined in their arrogance, fearing that they might accidentally be splattered with blood... With the arrival of abnormalities, the social harmony index has instead quietly risen.
"What to do..."
Seeing the Mind Demon, a hint of hesitation flashed across Seika’s pretty face, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat.
Official reports clearly stated that when encountering an abnormal existence, one should never try to attack it. Instead, one should quickly flee, get away from the danger, and after reaching a safe area, call the police and let professionals handle it. That is the correct way to respond.
However, the hesitation was only fleeting, and Seika’s gaze quickly firmed.
"As the store Manager, I have a responsibility to protect the safety of my customers!"
"How could I possibly abandon my customers, you scoundrel?!"
Seeing the bespectacled man, his mouth full of blood and eyes red, shift his target to a little girl not far away who was sitting on the ground, only crying and unable to run, Seika gritted her teeth and resolutely flew forward, delivering an exceptionally standard crescent kick.
Bang!
The bespectacled man no longer had the concept of dodging in his mind. He took the kick squarely and rolled away.
Crash!
The bespectacled man knocked over two tables in a row, spilling drinks and alcohol everywhere.
Stripping the opportunity, Seika quickly pulled up the girl who was slumped on the ground:
"Get up quickly, leave the exhibition hall!"
The girl was teary-eyed and pale, clearly terrified. Now, being pulled up by Seika, she finally snapped out of it and turned to run without looking back.
"Phew..."
Seika let out a sigh of relief, her gaze falling on the three unlucky customers who had been bitten not far away. The three young people were covered in blood, lying on the ground, twitching uncontrollably, looking extremely dangerous.
"No, I must give first aid as soon as possible..."
However, the next second.
A low, beast-like growl suddenly erupted.
Seika felt a chill run through her body. She saw the bespectacled man who had just been kicked away, now lying on the ground on all fours, like some eerie insect, his blood-soaked eyes fixed on her!
"Ho ho...!"
The bespectacled man didn’t stand up, but directly pounced forward in a crawling posture on all fours!
After transforming into an abnormality, this man had lost his self-awareness, but he still retained his biological instincts, and holding grudges was also one of those instincts. So, at this moment, he directly targeted Seika as his assailant.
"So fast!"
Seika was startled.
Before, it was a side sneak attack, so she didn’t have a direct concept. Now, facing him head-on, Seika finally realized that the official report was not false; the speed of humans who turned into abnormalities had indeed greatly increased.
She narrowly dodged the pounce. Seika gritted her teeth, preparing for another flying kick, but accidentally stepped on the spilled alcohol and drinks on the ground. Her foot suddenly slipped, and her body instantly lost balance.
Thud.
Seika fell to the ground in a dishevelled state.
"Ho ho..."
The bespectacled man suddenly turned his body, his eyes completely soaked in blood, even the corners of his eyes had torn open. Countless veins silently crawled all over his face, wriggling madly like earthworms, and he once again crawled on all fours, pouncing like a wild beast.
"Oh, no...!"
Seika’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom, her mind a blank.
She was just a former delinquent, not a battlefield mercenary. Faced with a life-or-death crisis, it was inevitable that she would panic like an ordinary person.
The next second.
Seika suddenly felt her vision blur, and a figure quietly appeared in front of her.
"You brat, be careful...!"
Seika cried out nervously.
Careful?
Kitahara looked at the bespectacled man who was pouncing on all fours like a beast, his expression unchanged.
"Such a weak guy..."
Kitahara calmly raised his right foot and stomped down.
Bang!
This foot landed directly on the bespectacled man’s head, embedding him into the floor.
"It should be him who needs to run away."
This kick seemed effortless, yet it was as if a Navy Admiral had stepped on a mere pirate, no matter how the opponent struggled and roared, he could not budge Kitahara by an inch.
Immediately after, Kitahara extended his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
"Stripping!"
A soft hum echoed in his mind, and Kitahara felt his vision suddenly rise, instantly entering the endless quantum sea.
The Hand of Deprivation randomly seizes an external object from the target, while Schrödingers Cat can collapse completely random options into the single one Kitahara desires. Combining the two, Kitahara can perform ultra-precise strikes.
As Kitahara peeled the negative energy from the bespectacled man’s body, the latter instantly became docile, as if his spine had been removed. However, guttural sounds continued to emerge from his throat, and his body twitched erratically.
In a short period, the other party’s soul had undergone irreversible mutation and could not return to being a normal human.
"Seika-nee, get up."
Kitahara turned around and extended his right hand to Seika:
"It’s already resolved."
Seika was still sitting on the ground, and she clearly saw how Kitahara had effortlessly dealt with the abnormal bespectacled man. Her expression was exceptionally subtle.
Such a dangerous guy was actually dealt with so easily by this brat... This brat is clearly much stronger than herself, isn’t he?
She had actually said she would break his limbs earlier...
Seika took a deep breath, took Kitahara’s right hand, and stood up. Suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly, and she let out a soft hum.
"Hmm..."
"What’s wrong, Seika-sensei?"
Kitahara raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Call me Manager!" Seika’s pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared at him in annoyance, pressing her right hand to her lower back. "I think I sprained my back just now... Don’t worry about it, he really won’t go berserk again?"
"Seika-nee, rest assured," Kitahara nodded. "I guarantee there won’t be any problems, but those few customers seem to have big problems."
Seika’s expression suddenly changed. Only then did she remember the unlucky people who had been pounced on and bitten, and she immediately became anxious:
"First, call the police and an ambulance, and also for first aid... In short, we absolutely cannot let the customers be in life-threatening danger!"
The sound engineer with long black hair and narrowed eyes quietly floated out:
"The police and ambulance have already been called."
At the same time.
Nijika and the others, who were resting in the back, heard the commotion and came out curiously. When they saw the messy live house, they were startled.
"Sister, what happened just now?"
Nijika asked in a fluster.
Kita looked around nervously: "A serial killer didn’t rush in, did he?"
"Blood... So much blood..."
Hitori’s face was pale, and she was trembling, her whole body starting to shiver.
Only Ryo was the calmest, but her eyebrows were also slightly furrowed, and her expression was solemn.
"Don’t ask so many questions for now," Seika said anxiously. "Nijika, quickly go to the room and get the first aid kit."
"Okay."
Nijika hastily agreed and hurried upstairs.
"This guy just now degenerated into an Anomalous Existence, like the serial killers seen in those videos on the subway." Kitahara pointed to the glasses-wearing man in front of him, who was twitching from time to time, and briefly explained the reason. Then he instructed, "Ryo-senpai, you take Hitori and Kita back to the lounge first."
Kita’s expression was hesitant:
"Um... should we stay and help?"
Hitori is already trembling and about to shut herself off, so you guys staying won’t help at all!
Kitahara said softly:
"Leave this to me. I guarantee there won’t be any problems."
Ryo blinked:
"Then I’ll leave it to Kitahara... Kita, Hitori, let’s go back first. Don’t cause Kitahara any trouble."
As she spoke, Nijika ran down hurriedly, holding the first aid kit.
"Sister, I’ve got the box."
Seika quickly opened the first aid kit, and a look of disappointment immediately appeared on her pretty face.
Inside the box were only some common household medicines and a few band-aids; not even a single piece of gauze was to be found.
This was normal.
Most ordinary families would not prepare hemostatic gauze.
And the three unlucky people lying on the ground all had their necks bitten to a bloody mess, with blood continuously flowing. Their hands simply couldn’t stop the bleeding, and by the time the ambulance arrived... they would most likely be gone.
"D-damn it..."
Seika immediately knelt on the ground, trying to help stop the bleeding with her hands, but it was useless. A hint of despair flashed in her eyes.
Emotionally speaking, no normal person would want to see a living life pass away in front of them, let alone that if a customer died in the shop, the shop would definitely be completely shut down, with no possibility of operating again.
(What to do, what to do, what to do...)
(Ambulance?)
(Definitely too late...)
Just as Seika was in despair, Nijika’s voice suddenly rang out, filled with hope:
"Kitahara-kun, do you have a way to save those customers?"
Kitahara’s voice sounded:
"It’s indeed a bit difficult."
"Difficult?"
Seika’s eyes lit up, and she quickly got up and said:
"So there’s a way?"
Kitahara nodded: "There is indeed a way."
"Kitahara boy, save them!" Seika stepped forward excitedly, extremely nervous. "I’ll do anything!"
Kitahara said seriously:
"Seika-nee’s words are enough."
Nijika: "..."
Although it sounded like a very ordinary conversation, why did it feel wrong?
Kitahara half-squatted in front of the unlucky passengers, then extended his right hand and placed it on one of the girls’ faces.
Under the nervous gaze of Nijika, Seika, and the squinting sound engineer, the wound on the girl’s neck began to heal rapidly. In just a few seconds, the terrifying, bloody wound on her neck returned to its original state.
"This amazing?!"
Seika’s eyes widened in surprise.
"It’s really amazing..."
Miss Sound Engineer also exclaimed in admiration, and even her constantly squinted eyes opened.
Kitahara’s expression was calm:
"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
Seika: "..."
[Item: insect]
[Current State: Optimized]
[New Entry: Bug Master. You have become the master of the insect, and the insect will obey your commands unconditionally]
[New Entry: Mass-Energy Conservation. The insect can devour and convert human body mass into energy, storing it within its body. When needed, it can also feed back or release this energy. The devouring process only needs to avoid vital organs and will not harm the human body]
In the entry [Mass-Energy Conservation], it was mentioned that energy could be fed back. Kitahara had naturally verified what kind of energy it was and later discovered that the energy was life energy.
The main symptom of the unlucky people with torn necks on the ground was a large loss of vitality. Since that was the case, replenishing their life energy would suffice.
After so many weight-loss operations, the insect had eaten a lot, and the life energy in its body had long been full. Feeding back to the three unlucky people was easy.
Following Kitahara’s method, the other two unlucky people also escaped danger.
"My, my neck doesn’t hurt anymore?"
The bitten girl sat up blankly, nervously touching her neck.
The other two unlucky people were the same; some even wondered if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"It’s done."
Kitahara exhaled lightly and stood up.
Seika quietly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Kitahara with complex eyes, and said softly:
"Just now... Thank you."
Kitahara subconsciously retorted:
"Verbal apologies lack sincerity..."
"Hmm?!"
Nijika smiled and looked over, her voice sweet:
"What sincerity does Kitahara-kun want my sister to show?"
A drop of cold sweat ran down Kitahara’s forehead:
"A slip of the tongue, it was a slip of the tongue just now!" freewebnσvel.cøm
"Hmph~"
Nijika let out a soft hum, placing her hands on her hips and saying:
"In short, don’t take advantage of my sister!"
"..."
Seika originally wanted to retort that as an adult, how could she be taken advantage of by a middle schooler? But as the words reached her lips, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized.
The bullying here... could it be referring to lewd things?
At this thought, Seika’s face immediately felt warm, and her eyes nervously darted elsewhere.
(Speaking of which... does kissing count as a lewd thing?)
