Remember One Thing

As Fang Li had predicted, the Tohno family was also in a bad situation.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

Amidst low growls, the dead staggered closer and gathered before the walls of the Tohno family compound.

"Bang—!"

Several dead men were violently ramming against the iron gate. With a dull thud, they fell to the ground along with the gate, and were then trampled on by the next group of dead men, slowly encroaching on the Tohno family's territory.

Moreover, a large number of the dead climbed over the wall, like living dead, swaying their bodies as they headed towards the mansion, and in an instant almost occupied the entire courtyard.

In the Tohno family's living room, Tohno Akiha and her group could all clearly see this scene through the window.

"How could this be..."

Kohaku covered her mouth, looking incredulous.

"..."

Hisui remained silent, but her eyes held an undeniable wavering.

As for Tohno Shiki, his expression kept changing, his hands were clenched tightly, and he spoke in a low voice as if gritting his teeth.

"Why are there so many dead people here? What exactly happened?"

This is something Tohno Shiki urgently needs to know.

"Fang Li and Arcueid have also disappeared. Did they really confront the vampires in this city without my knowledge?"

Or perhaps they sensed something was wrong immediately and left without notifying me?

These thoughts flashed through Tohno Shiki's mind one by one.

However, Tohno Shiki immediately shook his head again.

"Now is not the time to think about these things."

As he said this, Tohno Shiki turned his gaze to Tohno Akiha, who had been standing there gazing at the Matoba in the courtyard without saying a word from beginning to end.

Looking at his younger sister, Tohno Shiki struggled for a moment, then spoke helplessly.

"Anyway, I'll explain the details to you later. Akiba, please stay here with Kohaku and Hisui, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tohno Akiha interrupted Tohno Shiki.

"Does brother want us to stay here while he goes out to deal with those monsters by himself?" Tohno Akiha said in an unquestionable tone, "That's impossible, brother."

"Stop it, Akiba!" Tohno Shiki said anxiously, "If we don't do this, we'll all die!"

However, Tohno Akiha refuted Tohno Shiki's idea.

"You're wrong, brother." Tohno Akiha frowned and said directly to Tohno Shiki, "In this situation, going out would be suicide. Most people would think of how to escape first, not how to fight those monsters, right?"

"This..." Tohno Shiki speechless on the spot.

That's right.

In this situation, most people would think of escaping first, not dealing with these unusual dead.

Because Tohno Shiki had been hunting down his victims for some time, he had come to regard the dead as objects that had to be dealt with, so he subconsciously abandoned the option of running away.

Thinking about it carefully, perhaps this is the choice that should have come to pass?

"It's impossible to stay here any longer, otherwise we'll be surrounded sooner or later."

Tohno Akiha displayed the decisiveness of someone in charge, speaking to Kohaku and Hisui.

"Kohaku, Hisui, take what you absolutely must take, let's escape through the back door."

Kohaku and Hisui immediately nodded.

However, just as Kohaku and Hisui were about to take action, Tohno Shiki and Tohno Akiha simultaneously felt a sense of unease.

In particular, Tohno Shiki's eyes suddenly heated up behind his glasses, as if he were seeing a hallucination.

I could see death approaching.

"Could it be...!"

Tohno Shiki shouted out loud.

"Everyone! Back off!"

Almost as soon as Tohno Shiki finished speaking, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky and clung to the windowsill.

"Bang----!"

The sound of glass shattering suddenly rang out.

"Aaaaaaaahh...

Suddenly, a dead body burst through the window, smashing the glass and yelling as it lunged at the people in the living room.

"————!"

Almost instinctively, Tohno Shiki shielded everyone behind him, quickly took off his glasses, reached out and drew a small knife from his pocket, assuming a defensive stance.

However, before that, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Several nail-like thrown swords shot out from the window and landed on the dead man whose back was exposed.

"Pfft—pfft—pfft—!"

One after another, the thrown swords pierced through the body of the deceased, and with their powerful force, they sent the deceased flying and pinned him to the wall of the living room.

Upon seeing this, Tohno Shiki was stunned.

Even Tohno Akiha was stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite able to react.

At that moment, a voice reached everyone's ears.

Are you alright?

Along with the sound, a figure flashed in through the window.

The visitor was none other than Fang Li.

"Fang Li!"

Tohno Shiki couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Even Kohaku and Hisui, one with a joyful expression and the other with a reassured one.

Only Tohno Akiha secretly breathed a sigh of relief while questioning Fang Li.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Li did not answer, but instead asked Tohno Akiha.

"How many branches of the Tohno family are currently located in this city?"

"A split up?" Tohno Akiha looked surprised, but seemed to understand something as well, and said seriously, "As far as I know, apart from a portion, the rest are all in this city."

"Are they all in this city?" Fang Li said thoughtfully. "Then even under these circumstances, there are still people in this city who can fight against the dead, and they won't be completely slaughtered."

"A massacre?" Tohno Shiki asked hurriedly, "What exactly happened?"

"There's no time to explain now," Fang Li said. "In short, this city has become a hunting ground for the monsters from before, and everyone is running for their lives. You should also get out of this conspicuous place and find somewhere to hide, or simply gather the remaining people together to resist the attacking dead."

After saying that, Fang Li turned his gaze to Tohno Akiha and said this.

"Whether you choose to fight or flee is up to you."

"Just remember one thing."

"Don't die."

After leaving those words behind, Fang Li moved swiftly and leaped out of the window.

"Wait..."

Tohno Shiki was about to speak, Tohno Akiha interrupted him again.

"That person will be fine," Tohno Akiha said with a sigh. "Brother, let's leave here quickly."

Tohno Shiki hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.
