Torrential rain poured down as violent winds howled.
When Duanmu Huai arrived near the Kurokawa Family home, he found MEM searching for Kurokawa Akane there as well.
"Ah, Xiao Ai, you're here. Have you seen Akane?"
"No. Did you call her? She left her phone at home, so there's no way to contact her. I asked her mother, and I heard this road leads to the convenience store. Let's hurry and look for her. Honestly, the weather is terrible. I've got a bad feeling about this..."

"I-I have to go check!"
Just as MEM was about to rush up onto the overpass, the figure tilted forward and plunged headfirst down below!

MEM screamed at the sight. At the same time, a gust of wind shot past her ear. Duanmu Huai suddenly accelerated, stepped onto the roof of a speeding car, then launched himself into the air toward the falling figure!
In the blink of an eye, Duanmu Huai wrapped his arms around the falling figure like an arrow loosed from a bow. He continued flying forward, cleared the entire roadway,
