This Chapter Might Be a Little Chaotic

Outside the crystal ball, both Sakinagi and Qu Zhi noticed the shaking of the entire crystal ball and reacted differently as a result.

"Looks like it's beyond saving... Fine, since you really refuse to listen to my advice, then this is the only way for now... I admit you're not stupid, so to prevent your wisdom from ruining my plan, you'd better die first."

Qu Zhi sighed, unable to persuade Sakinagi, so he could only sigh helplessly for a moment before signaling the Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' to remove Sakinagi's head from her neck.

However, Sakinagi had already anticipated that the guy in front of her might try to kill her during their conversation, so she had already quietly moved closer to Qu Zhi's location while they were talking.

Although he couldn't directly harm Qu Zhi yet, taking just two more steps closer would be enough for Qu Zhi to injure him.

All that's needed is to force Qu Zhi to attack him, and then his safety will be no problem... If he successfully activates his 'Quirk' and affects Qu Zhi, then he will naturally be in a safe situation.

It can be said that at this moment, here, as long as Sakinagi controls the Qu Zhi with his 'Quirk', then many things that Uraraka Shige and he need to do next will go much more smoothly.

Their Qu Zhi will undoubtedly be a great asset, making it not too difficult for these 'Wandering Protectors' to rise from obscurity to prominence.

Unfortunately... in the end, it was the Qu Zhi who gave the order first.

Although Qu Zhi didn't see through Sakinagi's intention to approach him, he gave the order simply because of the state of the crystal ball.

It could be said that Sakinagi has not yet determined a victor over Qu Zhi in terms of wisdom; she has simply lacked a bit of luck.

Then...

The instant after Qu Zhi signal, Sakinagi seemed to sense something, suddenly ducked and charged forward, crashing into the spot where Qu Zhi was.

Such a direct and straightforward attack would likely tempt most people to retaliate with a kick, right?

Then, under Qu Zhi's cold gaze, a familiar black light flashed by.

Sakinagi Shushin's head fell from his neck, rolling on the ground with his forward momentum, before hitting Qu Zhi's toes and coming to a stop with a thud.

A surge of hot blood gushed down his neck, like champagne that had been shaken for a long time and finally popped, splashing all over the room.

On its head, Sakinagi's eyes were wide open, but its mouth was closed. Its facial features were facing upwards, and its gaze was fixed on Qu Zhi, encompassing his entire body.

The instant his head was detached from his body, his mind trembled, and he felt his 'Quirk' was about to spiral out of control. He also inexplicably came to understand some things he had never understood before.

His 'Quirk' almost successfully awakened... but unfortunately it didn't in the end. Before his consciousness completely dissipated, he only stored Qu Zhi's figure and appearance in his head, and then a vague thought wave emerged from the depths of his mind... but it only started and then stopped abruptly.

Qu Zhi looked down at the head that had rolled to his feet, a hint of regret in his eyes.

Suddenly, something deep within his brain seemed to twist slightly, and he stopped abruptly after only getting started, yet it still brought him a strong sense of disorientation.

Squeak~

The seat made a screeching sound as it rubbed against the floor, somewhat like teeth rubbing against glass.

Qu Zhi swayed slightly, then reached out and grabbed the table in front of him to steady himself before slowly standing up.

Something seems different, yet everything seems unchanged.

The Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' behind Qu Zhi didn't move an inch, its entire body hidden in black, until Qu Zhi a new order.

"Let's go, they'll be out soon... Let's wait for the next chance, no rush, there are still two more..."

Qu Zhi stood up and slowly walked towards the door, with the Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' following closely behind.

So far, his plan has been going smoothly, and nothing has gotten completely out of control... at least on the surface.

Just as he stood up, the Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' behind him didn't even offer to help him up without giving him a command, causing a strange ripple in his heart and a fleeting moment of regret.

"I don't know if I'm doing this wrong... How could it be wrong? My plan can't possibly go wrong."

Perhaps it was regret for losing all the people he had once trusted around him?

Qu Zhi staggered out of the door, then suddenly stopped, hesitating for a long time... This shouldn't have happened to him. He rarely hesitated over things, especially when he already had a plan and a backup plan.

... In the end, he still issued another order without looking back.

"No need to follow them any further. Stay here and test their mettle... If they're not up to par, then... let them all stay here."

Perhaps he was already aware of it at that moment, but in reality, he was indeed influenced by the 'Quirk' of the deceased Sakinagi, otherwise he wouldn't have done something so meaningless...

He didn't give any instructions on what the Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' should do if Uraraka Shige the test, because if he did, the Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' would die here, at Uraraka Shige's hands.

Qu Zhi's figure gradually disappeared, and it was unknown where he returned to. However, it was likely that he would soon find a way to curb Sakinagi's 'Quirk'.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' stood there dumbfounded, quietly waiting to complete the orders given to it by the Qu Zhi.

The crystal ball continued to shake, and the cracks on it continued to spread and branch out... just like tree branches.

Then, at a certain moment, the number of cracks on the crystal ball reached its limit, and the shaking stopped abruptly.

Instead of shattering into pieces that could cut fingers, the crystal ball only burst out with a few fragments from the end of the inner corridor model, creating a small hole that connected the model to the inner corridor.

One can't help but marvel at the excellent overall quality of this crystal ball.

From the hole, with a brief, explosive effect, a bunch of tiny figures were ejected and landed on the table where the crystal ball was placed.

Although their bodies were shrunk considerably, the drop of less than five centimeters still did not injure Uraraka Shige and the others... They all had their own 'Quirk'.

In the next instant, the Shadow Transformation 'Nomu' that had been standing there dumbfounded after receiving the order to Qu Zhi suddenly transformed into a streak of black light and streaked towards Uraraka Shige and the others.
