Oumagadoki

As dusk fell, several wild beasts circled around the statue, which was over ten meters tall, as if performing a mysterious ritual.

Above the Statue of the Director of Liberty, the rabbit-headed director sits atop the sculpture, munching on a carrot while curiously watching the scene below, as if he himself were not the one surrounded.

"Miss Aoi, is the headmaster going to be executed today because he has committed too many evil deeds?" Jilan made a rather cold joke when she saw the headmaster surrounded.

A group of animals, even if they are a bit strange, but Jilan doesn't think they can defeat the Pro Hero Mad Rabbit.

"Jilan, the headmaster usually does a lot of bad things, but no one has dared to take him in yet..." Aoi Hana was both amused and exasperated by the intern who could still laugh at such a supernatural scene. "Open your eyes wide and watch what happens next."

After circling several times, one of the lions grew impatient and stopped, roaring. The remaining animals also stopped, their eyes fixed on the zookeeper.

"What are you all shouting about? Are you trying to rebel?!" The headmaster finished his carrot, stood up from the statue's shoulders, spun around twice on the statue's arms, then reached down to take the carrot from the statue's outstretched arm, a smile spreading across his face. "Or... are you just eager to meet our new member?"

He placed the stone radish to his mouth and blew on the tip like a horn. Urged on by the lion's call, a thick white smoke billowed from the stone radish, instantly enveloping the area around the sculpture!

Some smoke drifted towards Jilan. He coughed a few times, covered his mouth with one hand, and placed the other on his waist, where golden Hamon appeared.

Curious that such a small horn could produce so much smoke, Jilan secretly used Hamon analysis to determine the composition of the smoke, and the results surprised him somewhat.

Could this thick smoke actually be composed of some unknown, activated organism...?

Within the smoke, the figures of the animals surrounding the statue seemed to shrink invisibly. A few seconds later, a bipedal figure walked toward the edge of the smoke, paused slightly just before the smoke could no longer envelop him, and then leaned forward and leaped toward Jilan Jiyu!

A blond boy with a thick mane around his face burst out of the smoke, his face filled with undisguised fighting spirit. The lion-man in front of him was just like a real lion. He pounced on Jilan on all fours, his hands also covered with thick golden fur, and his sharp claws, which gleamed with white light, swung towards Jilan!

What's going on? Could he be the lion from earlier? Jilan's sanity plummeted due to the unexpected situation, but he still knew that the person in front of him was attacking him. Instantly, golden Hamon spread across his body, and he raised his arm to block in front of him.

"Miss Aoi, please move away!" Jilan reminded her when the Hamon appeared, just in case there was any accidental injury.

However, Aoi Hana had no time to react. In the blink of an eye, the two were in contact. The sharp lion claws broke through the barrier of the Hamon and grabbed Jilan's arm with undiminished momentum!

Just as the lion's claws, sharp as blades, were about to scrape Ji Lan and Jilan Jiyu's skin, the blond boy, like a cat, actually retracted his claws into his body. He simply grabbed Jilan's arm with his furry, fleshy paws, spun him around, and then forcefully flung him away!

The spot where he threw Jilan was surrounded by several animals, and the smoke had not yet dissipated, Statue of the Director of Liberty!

In this series of actions, Jilan felt that she had no power to resist at all. Apart from using Hamon to protect herself, she could only watch helplessly as the other party approached with super-fast movements. The huge strength, like that of a lion, left Jilan with no power to resist. She couldn't even control her own body and was like a human bomb that crashed into the statue!

"Boom!"

A loud crash resounded as Jilan's body slammed solidly into the statue, creating numerous irregular cracks in the center of the statue!

"Cough cough cough..."

The lion-man's attack reminded Jilan of the pain he felt when he was hit by Nomu and slammed onto a slide. Fortunately, the pain of being struck in the back was much better than being hit in the waist alone. By estimating with his body, Jilan could sense that the lion-man's strength Nomu. No, the lion-man was definitely holding back, which meant that his strength was much greater than that of the Nomu!

Jilan opened her eyes and looked down. As expected, several creatures that looked like both humans and animals were looking up at her with curious eyes. Jilan Jilan set up in the center of the principal's statue, like Xiao Wataru fused with the Ryujinmaru, or like Jesus nailed to the cross.

The gorilla, who looked like Winston, scratched his face with one hand. "Is the zookeeper's statue going to break again? This time it has nothing to do with me."

A Werewolf resembling Yaga from Lostbelt looked at the lion-man walking towards them and said, sweating profusely, "Shishido went too far. Even though he's a new addition, he's still a human."

"Enough with the nonsense." The lion-man Shishido Sisde walked up to the Werewolf, glanced at him coldly, and looked up at the headmaster who was gazing at the moon as if he wanted to go to the moon to find Chang'e. He said coldly, "Hey, rabbit, this guy is not smart at all. Why did you bring this human here? Is it because of your so-called interests?"

"Wow, Jilan, what are you doing here!" The headmaster didn't pay attention to Shishido. As if he had just seen Jilan embedded in the statue, he nimbly jumped down from the top of the statue, grabbed the stone scarf with one hand and stepped on the stone wall with the other, and came to Jilan's side.

The director's smile froze when he saw the cracks in the statue, "That bastard has damaged my statue again! It'll take a long time to repair!"

Seeing the zookeeper's suddenly gloomy face, all the animals below took a few steps back, revealing the culprit standing there: the lion Shishido.

"Shishido, it's you again, trying to rebel again!" The rabbit stopped paying attention to Jilan, used the recoil from the statue to jump down, and landed in front of the lion.

"Tch." Shishido spat dismissively. "It's because of you, you rabbit, isn't it? The zookeeper is one thing, but why bring a human here? I hate humans, especially weak humans."

Upon hearing this, the rabbit suddenly flew into a rage. "You lion, how dare you say that! At least the lions in other zoos are a spectacle, but what about you? We hardly have any visitors, and you still roar at them and scare them away! Do you even deserve the meat you eat every day?!"

As the two were talking, a bird-man with outstretched wings flew over, used his free arm to pull Jilan out of the statue, and let Jilan sit on his back as they landed back on the ground.

Shishido knew he had made a mistake, and the lack of visitors to the zoo was also his responsibility. He clicked his tongue and didn't say anything more, but instead looked at Jilan had somehow appeared behind the zookeeper.

"This guy's human, right? How are you going to explain to him that we can talk? He doesn't seem like the zookeeper who's a bit dim-witted."

"Who are you calling an idiot!" Aoi Hana, standing among a group of animals, shouted upon hearing this, pushing aside the rhinoceros and elephant, the rabbit and the lion, and stepped forward to Jilan with a wry smile, "You see, this is the Oumagadoki Zoo."
