Ah, I'm Dead
~
[Bang bang bang bang.]
On the deserted and empty village streets, three afterimages could be seen fighting fiercely under the moonlight, with the pink and purple figures besieging the white figure in the middle.
Their speed is quite fast compared to ordinary people; while not to the point of being invisible to the naked eye, it's still dazzling.
The key point is that the gunshots that rang out through the night were quite frightening.
At this moment, Mumei was actually slacking off, because she wanted to observe the boy named Koshimizu Fumi and the monster that was clearly not human more closely.
The boy's Swordsmanship was fascinating, and the monster's self-healing ability was also amazing.
After months of training and learning at CIPHER POL headquarters, she knew very well that her current mission was not to defeat anyone, but to gather more intelligence on the New World.
So even though she felt she could easily pierce the monster's head or heart, she didn't go all out. She only used her steam-powered Steam Pistol, loaded with Jet Bullets, to help Koshimizu Fumi when he was in danger.
Um.
In Mumei's view, no matter what kind of monster it is, if its head and heart are destroyed, it's definitely dead.
Her actions puzzled the boy, who, seeing the cute little girl shoot the White Demon through the arm with a musket, quickly shouted.
"What are you doing? Use the Nichirin Blade on your back! You can't kill a ghost with a gun!"
Koshimizu Fumi was shocked by the girl's ignorance. What exactly had her Instructor taught her, or was it just a lecture that the girl hadn't remembered at all?
However, Mumei's extremely agile skills left him speechless. Although his movements seemed erratic, he was able to easily dodge White Demon's various attacks.
"What school of Breathing Technique does she use?"
However, his shout also caught the attention of Laskey in the distance. The next moment, Wuming's voice came through the hidden short-range wireless earpiece in his Mumei ear.
"Mumei, first pierce its heart. If it can recover, then pierce its head!"
Upon hearing the order, Mumei did not reply, but her eyes instantly sharpened. She performed a backflip to dodge the White Demon's attack, leaped behind him, and before she had even fully landed, pulled the trigger in mid-air.
[Bang!]
[Pfft----]
The Jet Bullet shot out from the muzzle and pierced through the White Demon's chest, right past its heart, causing it to cough up a mouthful of blood, but its face remained expressionless with a cold smile.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
After saying that, he kicked Koshimizu Fumi, turned his head 180 degrees to the back, and his arms and legs also turned around with a cracking sound, creating the effect that the Mumei one was clearly behind the White Demon, but was actually face to face with it.
"Ugh, that's disgusting!"
Mumei suddenly felt that this monster was even more repulsive Kabane.
She first quickly spun the short gun in the trigger, then grabbed the slender muzzle and swung it forcefully, using the sturdiness of the stock to smash away the outstretched ghostly claws like a club.
He then turned the pistol around once more, aimed the muzzle at the astonished face of the White Demon, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, blowing his ugly head apart with a single shot.
To avoid the splattered blood, flesh, and brains, Mumei flipped over again to quickly create distance, finally landing gracefully and steadily.
This scene left Koshimizu Fumi was lying not far away, stunned.
"Amazing!"
But it didn't work, the boy sighed helplessly, shaking his head.
Really.
Laskey and the Mumei saw that the White Demon's head was completely gone, but its body was still standing there steadily. Then, blood vessels, flesh, neck bones, skull, skin and facial features quickly grew from its neck. In the blink of an eye, a perfectly intact head grew back!
"???"
Three huge question marks immediately appeared above their heads. Even the well-traveled Laskey was shocked. What kind of monster was this?
"So, you can't kill this demon without cutting off its head with your Nichirin Blade. Hurry up and take out the Nichirin Blade from your back!"
Koshimizu Fumi, whose chest ached from being kicked, stood up and shouted anxiously.
This girl is so skilled; if she used Nichirin Blade, wouldn't taking down her opponent be a piece of cake?
Little did he know, the Mumei man had no idea what Nichirin Blade was.
The next second, Laskey's voice came into her ears.
"Mumei, that kid must be referring to the Samurai in his hand!"
"Hey, it got away!"
At the same time, Koshimizu Fumi suddenly pointed at the White Demon who had already turned and run away and shouted.
It turned out that the White Demon had realized that the Mumei One was stronger than him, but he just didn't have a Nichirin Blade. So of course he had to take advantage of this opportunity to escape. He wasn't stupid!
[Bang!]
Another shot rang out, and its left lower leg snapped off. It lost control and fell to the ground, which made it panic.
Just as it was about to grow its calves back and continue running, another gunshot rang out, severing the other leg. This forced the White Demon to grit its teeth and crawl forward while trying to control its calves to continue healing. The long trail of blood looked quite gruesome.
Sudden.
Mumei suddenly appeared in front of it. The latter looked up instinctively and saw Wuming giving her a cute smile and the dark muzzle of a gun.
[Bang!]
The next moment, the White Demon's head exploded again, and it lost its sight, plunging into darkness. Just as it continued to heal its head, it heard the little girl laugh and say, "I have five magazines here, each with seven Jet Bullets. I'm curious how many times you can grow a head?"
These words made the White Demon stiffen; it was clear he was in a desperate situation.
Although it was confident that it could exhaust the enemy's bullets before dawn, the fact that it could heal its head thirty-five more times would indeed consume a lot of its strength, but at least it wouldn't die.
The problem is that the other person might have a Nichirin Blade, just not used yet, and even if she doesn't, another boy does.
It seemed like a dead end, because they were certain they could cut off their own heads before they could regenerate their heads thirty-five times.
Only then did the White Demon realize how deadly the effect of temporarily losing one's five senses after having one's head smashed off was!
The gun was simply too powerful; one shot could blow off an entire head. If it were an ordinary musket, it would at most only leave a small hole.
"Hey, give me your knife!"
At this moment, Mumei held Steam Pistol in one hand, aimed it at the White Demon's head, and spoke in a sweet voice to Koshimizu Fumi, who was walking over.
"Ah?"
Koshimizu Fumi looked at the short sword on the Mumei's back with suspicion and asked, "Don't you have a sword?"
"Enough with the nonsense!"
To conceal the fact that she did not possess Nichirin Blade, Mumei deliberately adopted a tough and arrogant demeanor, which was also her original nature.
"All right."
Koshimizu Fumi assumed the little girl didn't want to use his sword, so he handed her his Nichirin Blade. This caused the White Demon on the ground to tremble and desperately try to speed up its self-healing process.
However, a demon's self-healing ability is linked to its own strength, and it's not something that can be achieved through effort.
"Cut it down!"
Laskey secretly gave the order that if it were only the White Demon, they might choose to capture him and extract more information from him.
But now there's a Koshimizu Fumi, so why not try out the Nichirin Blade's effect on the demons?
[Pfft--]
The Mumei man acted swiftly. Just as the White Demon's head regenerated to its chin, he slashed across its neck and severed it. Sure enough, its head never grew back.
"Huh?"
Immediately afterward, the White Demon's body turned to ashes and vanished without a trace before the three of them.
"Tell me everything you know about ghosts!"
Mumei turned her face and looked at Koshimizu Fumi very seriously, but little did she know how adorable she looked in his eyes.
Such a cool, beautiful, and strong young girl is practically the wife of every boy's dreams, even though he's only thirteen.
Hearing Mumei's words, he sighed with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, "It's obvious you weren't paying attention. Alright, alright, I'll tell you then, but you'd better listen carefully this time!"
"Good!"
The Mumei man nodded obediently.
This expression made Koshimizu Fumi clutch his rapidly beating chest.
"Ah, I'm dead~~"
