With a loud shout from Shuji Chiba, a short dagger was swung towards Lü Ganghu, and an invisible slash struck Lü Ganghu's body. Lü Ganghu hurriedly used hardening magic to defend himself.
Lü Ganghu's defensive capabilities were extremely strong. With each of Shuji Chiba's attacks, Lü Ganghu used this to his advantage and blocked Shuji Chiba Shuji's slashes. However, Shuji Chiba's attacks were also very fierce, and Lü Ganghu was finding it somewhat difficult to defend. Shuji Chiba's title of Phantom Blade was not for nothing, and he was also revered as a swordsmanship master, so his offensive capabilities should not be underestimated.
Lü Ganghu also understood that he couldn't let Shuji Chiba continue his attack. Simply defending wouldn't create an opportunity to escape, and if the time dragged on, the driver would definitely not be able to leave.
"Bang!"
As Shuji Chiba attacked again, Lü Ganghu bent down and blocked with his arms, then immediately switched from defense to offense.
"Snort!"
Lü Ganghu's physical strength, combined with the army's fighting techniques, quickly forced Shuji Chiba into a corner, where he had nowhere left to retreat.
Upon seeing this, Lü Ganghu immediately activated his magic, gathering wind blades on his right fist and blasting them towards Shuji Chiba.
"There's no other way but to tough it out and wait for him to make a mistake."
Shuji Chiba acted decisively, sacrificing his right hand to slash Lü Ganghu's left arm and lower abdomen.
Both of them were in a bad mood. Lü Ganghu had already started to look around, preparing to run away.
"Um?"
When Lü Ganghu saw Mari Watanabe blocking his retreat, his expression instantly turned ugly.
Unfortunately, Lü Ganghu was also a ruthless character. After taking a hit from Mari Watanabe, he escaped by following the light fixtures in the hall.
Chiba Yeyou quickly learned about what happened at the hospital.
"This poem is getting more and more confusing."
"Which side does this hidden, unidentified force belong to?"
Chiba Yeyou looked at the information on the mobile terminal, but couldn't figure out which side it was for a moment.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. We'll find out when the time comes!"
"Anyway, it's not that bad."
Chiba Yeyou recalled the invasion of Yokohama and gave a bitter smile.
"We can't exactly use ballistic missiles..."
"Damn it!"
Damn it!
Abandoned building.
The situation has changed.
Chris Chan, sitting in front of his computer, was not upset by the setback.
Standing before him was Lü Ganghu, his upper body bare and his abdomen wrapped in bandages.
" Isao Sekimoto's mission failed, and he has been captured by the authorities and is currently being held at the Hachioji Special Juvenile Detention Center."
"Leave aside the question of Chiaki Hirakawa for now, and prioritize dealing with Isao Sekimoto."
Chris Chen's calm tone was filled with chilling murderous intent.
"Yes!"
Lü Guanghu's answer was very straightforward.
October 24, 2095 (Gregorian calendar).
First High School, Headquarters of the Public Morals Committee.
"So, is there something you wanted to discuss with me?"
After finishing speaking, Chiba Yeyou looked at Kanon Chiyoda and Tatsuya Shiba.
Did those two have a fight?
"Mmm!"
"A lot has been happening lately!"
" The Kanon wasn't intentional."
"Besides, Tatsuya can't be blamed for the accident."
Mari Watanabe defended the two of them.
"So, this is why you called me here?"
"That's right, we need you to come with us."
"I'm fine on my end."
Chiba Yeyou nodded.
Hachioji Special Juvenile Detention Center.
" Mayumi, I thought it would be Jumonji this time."
Chiba Yeyou saw Mayumi Saegusa and walked over to her side.
Not long after the two confirmed their relationship, Chiba Yeyou changed how he addressed her, but Mayumi Saegusa still preferred to call him Chiba Yeyou junior.
"I'm a little uneasy if I don't come and find out what's going on."
"This way, let's go into this room together."
Mayumi Saegusa opened the door to the room next to Isao Sekimoto's room, and could see Isao Sekimoto inside through the one-way glass.
Isao Sekimoto sat on the bed, looking very uneasy.
"Click!"
" Watanabe!"
What are you doing here?
Upon seeing Mari Watanabe, Sekimoto immediately panicked and instinctively tried to operate the CAD software.
"Is Isao Sekimoto that afraid of Mari Watanabe?"
Seeing how afraid Isao Sekimoto was of Mari Watanabe, Chiba Yeyou was somewhat surprised.
"There's nothing strange about it. Mari Watanabe still has a lot of influence at this school, especially among students who have made mistakes."
"His mistake wasn't as simple as just making a mistake!"
Chiba Yeyou said softly.
"Yes!"
Mayumi Saegusa sighed, somewhat puzzled as to why students these days were always getting involved in these kinds of things.
Headache.
"I'm here to find out what's going on."
Even you can't use magic here!
"Is that so?"
"Waaaaah..."
Sekimoto looked at Mari Watanabe in front of him in horror, then lowered his hand and calmed down.
"This kind of magic that manipulates consciousness through scent is quite useful."
"Unfortunately, that's all there is to it."
Chiba Yeyou glanced at the spell, then curled her lip.
She still prefers magic that can be applied on a large scale and cover a wide area.
"This works great!"
Mayumi Saegusa glanced at Chiba Yeyou.
"After extracting data from the demo unit, we plan to investigate Tatsuya Shiba's personal belongings."
What are you looking for?
" Relic."
"Does Tatsuya- kun and Jing'an have such a thing?"
Mayumi Saegusa strangely.
He does have them, but they're not in his possession right now.
"He actually..."
"Ring ring ring..."
"Um?"
"We're probably having guests!"
Chiba Yeyou pushed open the door and walked out.
"Intruder!"
Mari Watanabe immediately realized what was going on.
"They've arrived."
Chiba Yeyou gestured towards the end of the corridor.
" Lü Ganghu!"
