Start a core cabin

What is that?

Duanmu Huai is also a veteran and experienced man. Facing the sudden attack, he raised his hands to block it. Then Duanmu Huai felt like a thick whip hitting his arm and then bounced off. Duanmu Huai also reached out and grabbed it... but he didn't catch anything.

"Ahaha!"

At the same time, Mianmu Sanatori seemed to be attacked, but she was a swordsman. She chuckled and dodged to the side, as if she easily avoided the attack. Then Mianmu Sanatori drew out the blade and chopped it to the side!

"Puchi---!"

It seemed that there was a sound of something being chopped, but still nothing appeared.

"Ahahaha, so awesome, it seems like there is something!"

At this moment, Mianmu Sanatori was not afraid at all, but was excited like a child who saw a toy... Well, how should I put it, it's not surprising.

But the question is where is that thing?

Duanmu Huai was sure that he and his companions were attacked, but he could not see the other party at all, even with the Thousand Eyes. In other words, this thing is invisible from all dimensions?

Fortunately, at least the system is still powerful. After all, Duanmu Huai can see words like [? ? ?'s tentacles] floating in the air - at least these marks can be used to determine the general location of the other party.

What the hell is this thing?

"Huh————!"

The invisible thing pounced on Duanmu Huai again. But this time Duanmu Huai just made a move and did not move. Soon, he felt a tentacle as thick as an elephant's trunk entangled his body.

Very good, it's now!

While being entangled by the other party, Duanmu Huai's hands suddenly moved forward, grabbed the tentacle tightly like a tug-of-war, and then pulled it hard in his direction!

"Peng Ling, clang!"

The tables, chairs and sundries in front of him flew away as if they were hit by something, and Duanmu Huai clenched his fist again and swung it hard in front of him!

"Bang!!!"

This time, Duanmu Huai felt that his fist hit something hard, and it had a tough and thick surface like a tire. But this was naturally meaningless to Duanmu Huai. His fist tore it apart like kraft paper and went straight into it. The violent shock wave completely exploded, instantly blowing the invisible monster in front of him into pieces.

But this is not over yet, because Duanmu Huai can feel that at the same time, there is a sound of wind around!

"Ahahaha, ahahahaha, ahahahahaha!!"

At the same time, on the other side, Mianmu Sanatori was also swaying left and right to avoid the attack, and at the same time she raised the sword in her hand, looking like she was waving it around at will.

"I really can't see it, it's so interesting! This way? This way? Or this way?"

As she spoke, Mianmu Sanatori jumped up from the ground, then quickly rolled over and landed beside her. At the same time, she slightly turned sideways, as if avoiding the opponent's attack. However, Duanmu Huai saw that at this moment in the air, several invisible objects marked with [? ? ? tentacles] appeared almost everywhere around Mianmu Sanatori!

As expected, just as Mianmu Sanatori swung the blade again, her right hand holding the sword suddenly raised high—or rather, it was more like being entangled by something and then lifted up.

"Oh?"

Mianmu Sanatori tilted her head curiously, staring at her raised right hand as if she was looking at something incredible, as if she didn't know why her right hand was raised. But then, the girl's body suddenly trembled, and then her shoulder was torn, blood splashed out—and then disappeared into the air.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai finally made a move.

"Hah————!"

Duanmu Huai clenched his fist, roared, and punched the ground. Accompanied by a strong air wave, a violent shock wave rushed forward, carrying tables, chairs, benches and debris and smashing forward. I saw those debris flying out like a cannonball, smashing into the seemingly empty air, making a "ping-pong-pong" sound, and the other party seemed to stop because of this, and quickly threw down Mianmu Satori, and then... Duanmu Huai only felt a gust of wind blowing, accompanied by a strange chuckle of "chi-chi-chi", and someone——or a group of things just rushed out of the door and disappeared.

Although Duanmu Huai also hurriedly summoned tentacles to try to block, because he couldn't see, he couldn't identify the other party at all. He only felt that the tentacles seemed to touch those guys, but he couldn't catch them——the other party was like a fish that got into the net, and disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk, what the hell is this?"

Duanmu Huai frowned, looking unhappy. It's not that he was unprepared, but this thing came too suddenly, and its characteristics were also very strange. Duanmu Huai had opened a thousand eyes, but he couldn't see its shape in any dimension. In other words, this thing is invisible in all dimensions?

Forget it, let's put it aside for now.

Duanmu Huai collected his thoughts and walked to the side of Mianmu Sanatori.

"Are you okay?"

"……………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Mianmu Sanatori, who was lying on the ground, raised his hand, then turned over and jumped up.

"Ahahaha! So interesting~~~~ It's so fun!"

Then, the girl in front of him shouted happily as if she had just ridden a roller coaster.

"I didn't expect there were such fun things in the world. Satori really wants to chop it to death... No, or stab it to death? Hmm? Which do you think is better, teacher?"

While speaking, Mianmu Satori stared at Duanmu Huai without blinking. Seeing her like this, Duanmu Huai also found out why the petite girl said that she was not like a human being. She rarely even blinked. Her eyes were always wide open, but she didn't look like she was looking at anything. Just like now, she was obviously staring at Duanmu Huai and talking, but it felt like she was completely distracted and looking somewhere else.

"You can do whatever you want. By the way, are you okay with your injury?"

"It's okay. It's just a small bite. Uh... Should I get a rabies vaccine at this time?"

Mianmu Satori shook his shoulders, still looking indifferent.

"In any case, bandage it first."

Duanmu Huai threw another appraisal to Mianmu Sanatori, confirming that there were no special symptoms such as poisoning or infection, so he withdrew his thoughts. Mianmu Sanatori reached out, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and then handed it to the side.

"Bandage me."

"?"

Looking at Mianmu Sanatori handing him a handkerchief, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, he saw the former took the handkerchief back and began to bandage himself.

"???"

Looking at the girl humming a song, spinning in circles, and bandaging her wounds in front of him, Duanmu Huai was confused.

Well, he had long thought that she must not be a normal person.

So Duanmu Huai didn't care about Mianmu Sanatori who was bandaging and spinning at the same time, but continued to check the air-raid shelter in front of him.

Based on the results of the observation just now, the two girls were obviously in danger, and they should have been eaten without even a bone left.

But this made Duanmu Huai wonder.

That is... why now?

If these monsters have always been here, then there will always be people missing in this school, and didn’t the literary girl find an old photo of the monster? That means the monster should have been in the school for a long time, but Duanmu Huai asked Sha Jiuye and learned that there has been no similar disappearance incident in this school for nearly ten years. Since this school is a junior high school and high school system, many students go from junior high school to high school graduation. If such things really happen continuously, then these students cannot be unaware.

Coincidence? Accidental?

There is another question.

Where is the book in the arms of the literary girl?

Duanmu Huai remembered very clearly that when he looked back in the dormitory, he saw the literary girl holding a book very preciously. It didn’t look like a textbook or a storybook, but more like something like a magic book.

Although it should be unlikely to be the Book of the Dead...

Duanmu Huai remembered that when he looked back through the table, he saw the literary girl holding the book in her arms when she walked in, and then took pictures, and after taking pictures... the power went out, and then... well, then it was pitch black.

Just like now.

It's about this location.

Duanmu Huai walked to the same place as the literary girl before, holding his mobile phone to look around, and at this time, the bandaged Mianmu Sanatori also came over.

"What's wrong? Teacher? What are you looking for?"

"Looking for the things they left behind. Those two people may have been attacked by that thing, so they should have left something here."

At least the two people's mobile phones should still be there, but Shionji Yuko didn't find it in the police investigation file, which means that they didn't find the mobile phones dropped by the girls in the air-raid shelter.

Or maybe they didn't look for it seriously at all... huh?

Just as Duanmu Huai was taking pictures everywhere with his mobile phone, he suddenly found a flash of inorganic light in the ruins next to him. Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand to pull away the pile of garbage, and then found a pink, very girlish mobile phone underneath.

I remember that this seemed to be the place where the vaulting horse was placed before.

Because of the battle between Duanmu Huai and the invisible monster, this place has long been unrecognizable at this moment, and all kinds of things have been smashed all over the ground. It was for this reason that Duanmu Huai discovered this. So, the phone was kicked to the corner next to it when it landed, and it happened to be kicked into the gap of the vault horse, so it was not discovered.

"Is this the child's phone?"

Looking at the phone Duanmu Huai picked up, Mianmu Sanori also came over and asked.

"It should be."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the phone, then put it away, and then he turned it around again, and then raised his head to look at the ceiling. Then, Duanmu Huai's face changed slightly.

"Found it."

Staring at the ceiling, Duanmu Huai said coldly.

On the ceiling, a strange, shabby magic circle was clearly visible under the light of the mobile phone, and in the center of this magic circle, there was a strange, heavy book with a black cover. It was obviously hung on the ceiling, but it seemed to be tightly attached there, motionless.

It seems that this is the magic book that the literary girl has been holding.
