Fang Li's conversation with Mumei was, of course, unknown to anyone.

After that, Fang Li bid farewell to Mumei and went to the Iron Fortress, directly entering the last carriage.

"Hah… hah…"

As soon as he entered the carriage, Fang Li heard a rough panting sound.

The panting sounded full of pain and discomfort.

However, Fang Li was not surprised at all and directly entered the carriage.

There was no light in the carriage, only bottomless darkness.

In the darkness, in a corner, a heart was emitting light, but it was like a light bulb about to die, flickering on and off, looking extremely unstable.

As for the owner of the heart, he was directly huddled there, constantly panting.

Seeing this scene, Fang Li sighed and said softly.

"You've reached your limit, Ikoma."

Fang Li's words made Ikoma, who was huddled in the corner, tremble all over, and slowly raise his head.

Appearing on Ikoma's face was a hideous, deathly gray expression.

That appearance was almost like a Kabane.

"You turned into a Kabaneri yesterday, but you haven't drunk a drop of blood today. You must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, right?"

Fang Li didn't seem to care about Ikoma's changes at all, his attitude as casual as ever.

"I really don't know what you're insisting on. Just suck blood, it's not like sucking blood will turn you into a monster, although you're not exactly human either."

Under Fang Li's sarcastic remarks, Ikoma rose to his feet, swaying like a corpse.

His breathing became heavier and heavier.

His eyes became more and more ferocious.

Ikoma started walking towards Fang Li like this, not looking like he was planning to get close to Fang Li at all.

Presumably, anyone who saw someone with physical characteristics so similar to a Kabane approaching them would be afraid, right?

However, Fang Li suddenly muttered to himself.

"I'm leaving soon."

Fang Li's missions in this world have all been completed.

The reason he continued to stay here was just to repay Mumei and Ikoma for their kindness, to ensure their safety.

Now, although the people inside the Iron Fortress have not yet accepted the two Kabaneri, they have at least eased through the most tense period.

In addition, Mumei has also woken up. Even if the people in the Iron Fortress want to cause trouble, they will only suffer the consequences. There is no need for Fang Li to continue staying.

"Although I've repaid the favor, you did save my life after all."

Fang Li raised his head and looked at Ikoma.

"So, I'll give you a little after-sales service."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Li shook his hand, and a dagger flashing with cold light immediately fell into his hand.

"Aaaaaaaah————!"

At the same time, Ikoma let out a roar that was almost no different from a Kabane, and suddenly pounced in Fang Li's direction.

In response, Fang Li just watched quietly.

It wasn't until Ikoma pounced in front of him that Fang Li spoke.

"Too much movement, you idiot."

In the next second, Ikoma naturally missed.

Fang Li, who had flashed to Ikoma's side, closed his eyes slightly.

When he opened them again, his ice-blue Mystic Eyes had already appeared.

"Chih————!"

With a cold, icy light, the sharp dagger pierced Ikoma's glowing heart.

About ten minutes later, Fang Li once again entered the forest.

Moreover, this time he went completely deep, as if he would never turn back, going deeper and deeper bit by bit.

"Ah…"

"Ooh…"

Before long, sounds like wails and screams faintly entered Fang Li's ears.

Hearing these sounds, Fang Li slowed down his pace and began to lurk in the grass, looking ahead.

There, figures with hearts emitting light were swaying and moving.

That would naturally be the Kabane.

"As expected, these monsters are everywhere..."

He said that, but Fang Li's expression was clearly very cheerful.

"If they keep advancing, it's only a matter of time before they discover the people on the Iron Fortress, right?"

The sharp dagger was once again held in Fang Li's hand.

The ice-blue Mystic Eyes also began to manifest.

"Although there are quite a few of them, the terrain here is in my favor after all. Let me be an assassin one more time."

Thus, Fang Li began to lurk.

"Let's fight..."

When Fang Li left the Iron Fortress and went deep into the forest, Mumei came out of the forest.

At this time, Mumei was walking towards the Iron Fortress, muttering to herself.

"It's unbelievable. There's really no Kabane scent at all..."

After that, Mumei personally went to see the pregnant woman and observed her for a long time, finally confirming that the pregnant woman would no longer transform into a Kabane.

"She was bitten, so how did he do it?"

With this question that she couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried, Mumei returned to the Iron Fortress.

However, before the Iron Fortress, Mumei saw an extremely surprising scene.

"Look! Look!"

In the crowd, Ikoma, stripped to the waist, shouted excitedly to the people around him as if he had been reborn.

"I'm not a Kabaneri anymore! I've turned back into a human!"

Upon closer inspection, Ikoma's body had completely changed.

His skin was no longer the heartbreaking deathly gray it had been before.

The vein-like patterns on his body had completely disappeared, becoming extremely vibrant.

Most importantly, Ikoma's chest had also returned to normal, and the glowing heart like a Kabane could no longer be seen.

"I've turned back into a human! I've turned back into a human!"

Ikoma's voice resounded throughout the open space.

Around him, the Samurai and civilians of Aragane Station were all stunned, and even Yomogawa Ayame, Kurusu Kunoichi, and Kibito Aragane were all in disbelief.

"This... how did he suddenly return to normal?"

"Turning back into a human from a Kabaneri?"

"No way! How could that be possible?!"

"If it was that easy to turn back into a human, the Kabane would have disappeared long ago!"

The surrounding Samurai and civilians obviously didn't believe Ikoma.

Only Mumei stared blankly at this scene, and after a while, she rushed to Ikoma's front.

Ikoma was startled.

However, at this time, Mumei had already grabbed his neck, staring intently at Ikoma.

Immediately, Mumei ignored the reactions of the surrounding people and asked.

"Did that guy do it?"

"That guy?" Ikoma was stunned.

However, without Ikoma's answer, Mumei already had confirmation.

Immediately, Mumei's expression became complicated.
