The Purple Mist Anomaly
Jilan walked towards the tree. When the Vines saw Jilan, they not only did not grab him, but instead seemed to be afraid of Jilan and made way for him to make a path to the tree.
Yaoyorozu watched anxiously from the sidelines, calling out to Jilan. Seeing that Jilan was about to reach the tree, she was scared, but she still gritted her teeth and rushed towards the tree!
"Yaoyorozu, don't move." Jilan suddenly said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yaoyorozu was stunned and instinctively obeyed Jilan's command, freezing in place.
Jilan Jiyu's eyes were clear. He walked to the tree where the hanged ghost was, and to Yaoyorozu's astonishment, he picked up the female ghost in the white dress.
Jilan lifted the long green hair covering the female ghost's face and patted her cheek. "Shiozaki, wake up, don't sleep."
"Jilan, it's dangerous, stay away from her!" Yaoyorozu still looked very anxious, and even tried to pull Jilan away.
"Looks like you haven't noticed yet, oh well..." Jilan muttered to herself, placing her hand on Ibara Shiozaki's long, thorny hair.
"Hamon Overdrive!"
In an instant, golden Hamon enveloped Ibara Shiozaki's long hair. The Vines, catalyzed by the Hamon, instantly thickened and spread outwards like snakes, growing at a visible speed to cover an area with a radius of about five meters!
Jilan squinted his eyes. With the enhancement of the Hamon, his vision allowed him to see the faint purple mist being drawn in by the Vines' breath. The Vines absorbed the purple mist like a vacuum cleaner, but they themselves were gradually stained a sickly purple.
Therefore, Jilan increased the transmission volume of the Hamon. Under the action of the Hamon, the purple mist was immediately dispersed and Decomposition by the Hamon attached to the Vines as soon as it was absorbed, and stimulated the Vines to turn the purple back into green.
At that moment, Yaoyorozu seemed to wake from a dream. Only then did she see the face of her classmate from Class B Ibara Shiozaki, beneath the long hair. Yaoyorozu exclaimed in surprise, her mind blank, "Huh? What's going on? Wasn't that the hanged ghost? How come it's Shiozaki!?"
"You were poisoned just now, and you're hallucinating," Jilan replied calmly, helping Ibara Shiozaki up and handing her to Yaoyorozu. "Hold her up for me, I'll go wake the others up."
As if guided by GPS, Jilan walked straight toward the bushes on the right, squatted down and shook Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, who was weakly tapping his wrists, and Yosetsu Awase, who was nodding incessantly and seemed to be falling asleep.
"Hey, you two, wake up!"
It seemed that the two of them had only entered a light sleep stage. Jilan shook them slightly and they shuddered, suddenly opening their eyes!
"Jilan Jiyu, Ji Yu, don't touch me!" Tetsutetsu slapped Jilan's arm away, complaining, "We're the intimidating team now, why did you bring us out? The event isn't over yet, we're sure to win!"
Jilan said bluntly, "Forget about the test of courage, take a good look around, something's happened."
"An anomaly? How is that possible..." Tetsutetsu scoffed, then suddenly stopped, his eyes widening as he saw the purple smoke, previously blocked by golden Vines, thickening and rushing towards them.
"Jilan, what happened?!" Yaoyorozu noticed this too, rubbing her slightly numb head. "I think I was a little out of it just now, unable to distinguish between hallucinations and reality..."
As Jilan crouched down and touched the Vines with her palms to continue transmitting Hamon, she explained to the group, "I don't know the specifics either. I can't yet tell whether this Poison Gas is a change in the natural environment or an attack by some enemy. When the Poison Gas first appeared, you should have all passed out immediately, but because Ibara Shiozaki's Vines absorbed most of the Poison Gas, she fell into a coma, while you only inhaled a small Poison Gas, causing your brains to become confused."
Tetsutetsu reacted strongly, exclaiming excitedly, "... Isn't this extremely dangerous! All our other classmates must be in danger! No, we must go and save them!"
"Of course," Jilan said to Yaoyorozu. "Yaoyorozu, please make gas masks before these Vines barriers dissipate."
"Okay, okay!" Yaoyorozu nodded hurriedly. Thanks to the training over the past two days, she quickly made five gas masks and handed them to Jilan and the others.
Tetsutetsu and Awase knew the situation was critical, so they put on gas masks without hesitation. Jilan, after Yaoyorozu put the mask on his face and Ibara Shiozaki's face, released the hand that was transmitting the Hamon and put a mask on his own face as well.
Then, Jilan came to Yaoyorozu's side and took Ibara Shiozaki's arm in her hand.
"Hamon Overdrive!"
This time, Jilan's Hamon did not travel through the Vines, but through Ibara Shiozaki's body. This external stimulus caused Ibara Shiozaki's body to react, and her eyes gradually opened.
The first thing Ibara Shiozaki saw was Jilan wearing a gas mask, followed by Tetsutetsu and Awase, who were anxiously watching her from the side, also wearing strange masks.
Oh right, it seems she's wearing a mask on her face too.
Seeing that Ibara Shiozaki had woken up, Jilan's muffled voice came from inside the gas mask. "Don't speak now. Retract the Vines, and leave the rest to me."
Ibara Shiozaki blinked, Vines quickly retracted, transforming back into her waist-length green hair. Then, she obediently closed her eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.
"Ibara Shiozaki absorbed too much of the Poison Gas. Although I cleared the toxins, her body is still very weak. It's best to let her get some sleep." Jilan looked up at Tetsutetsu and said, "You two go with Yaoyorozu. Give the gas masks to the classmates you meet along the way, and run back to the base to tell the others about this. Ibara Shiozaki is in your care."
Tetsutetsu nodded solemnly, but then he immediately realized, "And you, where are you going?"
"Me? Of course I'll go find the source of the Poison Gas and resolve this anomaly," Jilan replied matter-of-factly.
"I want to go too!" Tetsutetsu shouted. "How can we let you show off all by yourself at a time like this!"
"Are you an idiot?" Jilan said mercilessly, "The Yaoyorozu made a filtering gas mask. This kind of gas mask can only filter low concentrations of Poison Gas. The deeper you go, the denser the Poison Gas becomes. You can't get close to the center of the mutation by sticking too close to the gas mask. Only I, with my Quirk that makes me immune to toxins, can do this!"
Hamon's Quirk allows it to filter out toxins, enabling Jilan to breathe freely even without a gas mask.
Tetsutetsu wanted to refute Jilan, but he couldn't utter a single convincing rebuttal. He said resentfully, "Damn it! I understand, I'll go to the other classmates!"
As he spoke, he took several newly manufactured gas masks from the Yaoyorozu and ran into the Poison Gas.
"You should leave quickly too," Jilan said to Yaoyorozu, who was holding Ibara Shiozaki behind her.
"Jilan, are you alright?" Yaoyorozu was still very worried about Jilan.
Jilan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Seeing Yaoyorozu and Awase walk away with Tetsutetsu, Jilan took off the gas mask that was blocking his vision, threw it on the spot, turned around and looked at the blue mountain fire that had started behind him at some unknown time, his eyes gradually becoming indifferent.
