Gu Mo didn’t know that just because he saw a blood bar from afar, he suddenly had a series of doubts, and was even stripped of his human qualification. Otherwise, he would have found it ridiculous—who would casually expel someone from humanity?
His attention was now entirely focused on the perilous combat scene before him. The boy named Megumi Fushiguro was leading him straight towards... hmm, which floor was it again? The third or fourth?
He couldn’t be sure, since he had followed up in a rush without counting.
Anyway, that wasn’t important. What mattered was that Brother Fushiguro found the crime scene with great accuracy as he raced upward.
The terrifying curse power burst, the swirl of curse power almost engulfing the entire school building; and the center of it was this floor. Because the special-grade curse "Two-Faced Su Nuo’s Finger" was unsealed, a fresh bloody scent akin to that of the sea was released, naturally attracting sharks from nearby waters.
"Damn it! ...Are we still too late?"
Clenching his fist tightly, Megumi Fushiguro stared intently at what was unfolding ahead.
In the dim corridor ahead, masses of flesh wriggled, with grotesque tentacles flailing and squeezing against each other. Were they a bunch of different deformed monsters... or should they be called Curse Spirits?
In short, there were multiple different monsters crowded in this section of the corridor. Their massive, swollen, grotesque bodies were entangled with each other, and the floor was littered with various severed limbs.
An exceptionally gory scene, flesh and blood flying everywhere—it seemed that the monsters had already engaged in some fierce battle with each other, inflicting severe wounds on one another, which finally resulted in this stalemate.
At this moment, they seemed to be merging into a new entity, their overly massive, swollen bodies constantly squeezing in the corridor, weaving into a disgusting, hideous ball of flesh... the once spacious corridor space was now completely filled with no place to stand.
And at the center of this writhing mass of flesh, the faint silhouette of a girl could be seen. She seemed unconscious, unsure if she was hurt or had fainted from a mental shock.
Amidst the writhing of grey, lifeless hands and tentacles covered in mucus, the girl’s silhouette was being pulled into the mass of flesh, gradually being engulfed.
"This..."
Gu Mo’s eye twitched furiously. Although he didn’t want to admit it, this scene was uncomfortably familiar... Is this really something one gets to watch for free? Could it be that the familiar information and settings in his mind are actually this?
What a joke!
He had spent his life doing good deeds, never watching such things!
"Damn it! They intend to swallow the person and the curse together!"
Clenching his fists tightly, Megumi Fushiguro was filled with anxiety, but in his agitation, he couldn’t make a decisive choice. His experience was ultimately too shallow to allow him to react decisively, or to make ruthless decisions in a moment like this.
The so-called fear of harming the innocent hindered his actions. He wanted to make a move but was equally afraid of accidentally hurting the unconscious girl. But reason also told him that if he did nothing, he wouldn’t just fail to save the innocent bystander; he would also helplessly witness the special-grade curse being swallowed, gaining tremendous curse power, making them even more troublesome.
——"Bang!!"
Fortunately, this dilemma didn’t last long, or it was very brief, just a moment. A window at the edge of the corridor suddenly shattered, and a nimble figure crashed through with a courageous posture. No one knew how it managed to climb to this floor.
"Yuji?!" Megumi Fushiguro was startled. Didn’t he ask the other person to wait outside? Why did he rush in now?
But the effect was quite good, as even he hadn’t expected it. Those Curse Spirits who saw him as a main threat and focused their attention on him were naturally caught even more off-guard.
In the midst of both parties’ surprise...
The selfless hero made an extremely abrupt entry...
Fierce and reckless, crashing into the group of monsters...
This unexpected figure didn’t use any curse technique, just relying on raw, bull-like physical strength to punch and kick, forcibly tearing apart or knocking back the tangled monsters, seizing the brief opportunity to grab the girl’s arm, and narrowly escaping before the monsters could react!
The entire process was thrilling, stimulating at every turn, with the slightest mistake potentially resulting in another casualty...
Megumi Fushiguro instinctively held his breath until he saw the boy who had rushed in safely rescue the girl, bringing her out of the danger zone, whereupon he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but glance at the person beside him—
That person looked completely absent-minded, standing next to him unfazed by the chaotic dance of monsters around him, his eyes unconsciously staring towards the direction of the broken window, his expression distant, looking like he was in a daze...
Megumi Fushiguro immediately clenched his fists. This kind of demeanor was definitely impossible for an ordinary person!
When ordinary people encounter such events, who wouldn’t be scared to death, pale-faced, trembling, with the urge to run away? This kind of absent-mindedness, nonchalance, and lack of interest even in the most thrilling, explosive scene is just not justifiable at all!!
