Chapter 154 Playing the Role

"Huhu~~"

The girls, exhausted from running, stopped panting and looked around in fear. They realized... they hadn't reached the bright main road.

"Where...where is this?"

Hinako Kominato asked nervously, but the other three girls were also full of doubt. The gloomy mist floating in the air was very unsettling, as if...

"We...did we wander into a restricted area?!"

Geng Wujiang, who was panting, suddenly looked up, a look of horror on his face, which startled the others as well.

"No...it can't be..."

Momokino Yu felt her hair stand on end. She looked around frantically, but the faster she looked, the more frightened she became. Something seemed... really wrong.

Momoko Okonogi hunched her shoulders, her eyes seemed unfocused, and beads of sweat covered her forehead. She said with some difficulty, "If...if we enter the supernatural area, those...those gangsters shouldn't...shouldn't dare to chase us in, right?"

The girls looked at each other, unsure if their guess was correct, but it was at least a reassuring explanation, even though it was hard to say whether the haunted area or the gangsters were more dangerous.

"Anyway... let's not stop. Let's try to get out of the restricted area. It would be great if we could run into the police."

Yoru Momokino sighed. She felt she shouldn't have encouraged them to take this risk, but it was too late to regret it now. Finding a way to leave was the most urgent thing right now.

Ding~ Ding~~

The sound of metal striking steel pipes made the girls freeze, their necks stiffening as they looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure wearing a hood and resembling a petite young girl appeared in the mist, holding a steel pipe in one hand and an old dagger in the other, while wearing a skull mask on her face.

She's obviously not an ordinary girl. After all... what ordinary girl would be wandering around outside in the middle of the night wearing a skull mask and carrying a steel pipe and short knife?

His throat bobbed, and the pale-faced Geng Wujiang whispered to his companions, "Regardless of... regardless of whether it's a person or... something else, we shouldn't take any risks. Prepare to run..."

"My...my legs are weak...my legs are weak...."

Okonogi Momoe couldn't help but cry and said, while Geng Wujiang's expression changed, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he and Momokino Yu suddenly attacked, grabbing Okonogi Momoe from the left and right and running away.

Momokino Yu even had the energy to pull Kominato Hinako along as they ran, but the four girls were just ordinary girls, and after running for a while, they obviously didn't have much energy left to run again.

In particular, when a beautiful girl with long, bright white hair, two cat ears on her sideburns, and a gentle, ethereal aura suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Cat...cat demon?!"

As the saying goes, "Lord Ye loved dragons but was terrified of them." Although the girls were regulars on paranormal forums and were usually keen to discuss all sorts of strange and bizarre supernatural legends, when the real monsters from those legends actually appeared in front of them...

They really couldn't calm down, especially with a suspected dangerous person chasing them from behind. The girls were caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

Hanekawa Tsubasa glanced sideways at the group of girls slightly younger than herself, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Being chosen by her lecherous and wicked master was truly unlucky; they were just as unlucky as her, and also...

Why would she want to act in such a boring show?!

"Meow, it seems like you've been plagued by something bad?"

Raising a hand, she unconsciously imitated a cat's movements. Hanekawa Tsubasa didn't even realize it until after she had made the gesture, but... oh well...

"Wha...what? She...she spoke?!"

Momoko Okonogi raised her hand in utter shock and pointed at Tsubasa Hanekawa. The other three girls were also shocked, but they were slightly better. Kamikiri reached out and pressed down Momoko's arm, then mustered her courage and stepped forward to bow deeply to Tsubasa Hanekawa.

"I...I'm sorry to bother you. We...we're just passing by. Could...could you let us through?"

"Sure, but... isn't the person following you behind dangerous?"

Hanekawa Tsubasa tilted her head slightly. Although Niu Kun had initially asked them to scare the poor girls, Hanekawa Tsubasa felt a little reluctant and suggested that if they all played the roles of monsters and villains, they might frighten the girls.

Thus, Hanekawa Tsubasa and Natsuki became the good group, while Yuuko and Yuno became the evil group. Yang Ming and Minerva became the neutral group, and Niu Kun became the final villain, the Demon King.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that... some uninvited guests from outside the venue may appear.

In the corner unseen by those naive girls, Xia Shu silently dragged the two undead who had been killed again to the side of the trash can. The thick fog containing the resentful and malevolent aura emanating from the Killing Stone would corrupt some ordinary people with sensitive spiritual senses into ferocious and mindless undead.

This infection is almost irreversible, but for Natsuki now, it doesn't matter whether it's reversible or not; it's just quicker to cut it off anyway.

When Natsuki, wearing a baseball cap, walked out of the corner, she saw Hanekawa Tsubasa, dressed as a righteous cat demon, confronting Yuno, who was holding a short sword and steel pipe, while several girls nervously hid behind her.

"Don't be afraid, I...I'm good friends with Yi, um, that catgirl."

"Cat... cat girl?"

She repeated the sentence with surprise, and then, as if she had opened up a new world, when she looked at Hanekawa Tsubasa again, the fear on her face was gone, replaced by a strange expectation.

"Um, isn't this not the time to talk about that? Shouldn't we... do something?"

Geng Wujiang found a brick somewhere and asked somewhat anxiously.

"What to do... Hmm, you guys run first, Yi and I will hold off that strange girl here."

Because Niu Kun's idea came out of nowhere, they didn't have a script and could only act according to the roles assigned by Niu Kun. Xia Shu pondered for a moment without expression and then said.

"Um...we're just going to run away like this, is that...a bit inappropriate...?"

Yu Momokino suppressed her anxiety, and feeling a little embarrassed, she turned and ran away.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. We are... well, we are the guardians of the night, protecting the safety of poor girls like you!"

Although her expressions lacked a bit of acting skill, Natsuki was quite witty. With a wave of her hand, she seemed to transform into a messenger of justice, a woman with a strong sense of justice and a kind catgirl.

"Um, this kind of pairing is quite rare. You two could totally debut together like this."

As the four girls hurriedly ran forward, Yuuko, whose figure appeared, said with great interest.

"...What kind of childish group is this?!"

Yuukawa Tsubasa naturally refused immediately. She was genuinely afraid that Niu Kun would inexplicably agree and then arbitrarily order them to go outside in the middle of the night to play the role of some righteous and kind duo.

That would be so shameful.

Of course, being carried by Niu Kun while being dragged around outside was obviously more embarrassing, even with a spacious coat to cover it up. When Niu Kun appeared carrying Er Tiao Qiu, whose head was only half showing, it was even more embarrassing.

Apart from Yuno, the other three girls exchanged a silent glance and then shuddered.

(No inspiration, just writing a filler chapter.)

Chapter 155 Under Command

Wrapped in Niu Kun's specially made coat, Er Tiao Qiu was naturally even more ashamed, but clearly no matter how ashamed and unwilling she was, she couldn't go against Niu Kun's wishes.

Fortunately, it was in a deserted alley late at night, and he had a coat to cover himself. Although it was a bit stuffy, Aki Nijo still tried to bury his face in the coat.

Niu Kun was unaffected by the sweltering heat. Although he could feel hot and cold, as well as soft and hard textures like an ordinary person, he also had extremely high tolerance. Whether it was freezing cold or scalding hot oil, it was nothing to Niu Kun.

However, Niu Kun's demon skin cannot withstand temperatures that can melt or freeze steel.

The demonic root remained deep inside the mature and beautiful body, and with Niu Kun's actions, Er Tiao Qiu continuously emitted muffled and suppressed, cute moans.

Although Nijo Aki is not a dedicated combatant, as a superhuman capable of using elemental power, her physique is already far superior to that of ordinary people, and after the contract, she has been strengthened in every aspect.

Despite her delicate and frail appearance, she was actually very robust. Even though Niu Kun had been roughing her up inside the truck for quite a while, Nijo Aki, who seemed exhausted, was still far from reaching her limit.

In fact, Niu Kun estimated that Nijo Aki was more enduring than the six girls combined: Yomi, Mei, Yuko, Kagura, Chizuru, and Miko. Of course, the three junior high school girls at the end were just extras.

However, the delicate appearance that Nijo Aki showed from the beginning was not entirely an act. She was indeed very delicate, which was a manifestation of her temperament. However, she was actually tough inside and out, and in practice, she was a top-notch, battle-hardened gunner.

A pair of plump and slender legs were tightly wrapped around Niu Kun's waist. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, she could not resist the instincts of her body after being demonized. It was as if her jubilant soul and body had betrayed Ni Tiao Qiu's original intention.

Tears mingled with sweat and rolled down her cheeks. Her dazed eyes no longer revealed her original thoughts. Her slender hands rested on Niu Kun's chest, as if resisting, yet also leaning on him.

As Niu Kun, carrying Er Tiao Qiu and walking along, was about to explain the play to Xi Zi and the others again, he suddenly looked up thoughtfully. He sensed Huang Quan and the others approaching.

At the same time, there's... a beautiful aura?

“Interesting. Hmm, quite a few uninvited guests. You guys be careful to protect those unlucky little girls. Hmm, Qiu, you better hold on tight.”

Niu Kun gave a brief instruction, then released his large hand that was supporting Er Tiao Qiu's hips from under his coat, instead reaching out from his sleeve. Er Tiao Qiu, now without support, gasped as the massive root inside her penetrated even deeper.

Left with no other choice, Nijo Aki could only tighten her grip on Niu Kun's waist while her arms, which had been supporting Niu Kun's chest, were forced to reach upwards to barely embrace Niu Kun's neck.

Niu Kun then grabbed two specially made battle axes, leaped into the air like cannonballs, and disappeared from the rooftop in a few flashes.

"Master is being way too...reckless!!"

Hanekawa Tsubasa couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for poor Nijo Aki, who was humiliated and bullied like this on her first time. However, Hanekawa Tsubasa was even more afraid that Niu Kun would bully her in the same way.

"Ah, it was the first time I had left my master and was acting alone. Suddenly, I felt a sense of loneliness and helplessness."

Suddenly, Yuko, who had changed into a white mourning dress, crossed her arms and said with a worried expression.

“But didn’t you just get your hands on by your master last night?” Xia Shu chimed in at the opportune moment.

"Although...but...actually, my master and I have been separated for fifty years. Yesterday's reunion was just...a reunion."

Yuko twirled around a few times as if dancing, and then, under the puzzled gazes of the other girls, continued, "I was... sacrificed to death. However, my master did not appear to accept me back then, which is why I became his witch fifty years later."

"I see, then..."

“I should be the master’s first witch, you are all… troublesome newcomers.”

Yuno spoke calmly, then pulled down the skull mask to cover her face, but the madness and distortion in her eyes became even more intense. She seemed to... like the way she looked with the mask on.

It's like putting on a mask, yet also like... taking it off.

She strode forward, chasing after the direction the girls had fled. Yuko shrugged helplessly, "Why are all of Master's witches so strange? It makes me, a ghost, seem no different."

"Well then, I'll catch up first, so you guys don't fall behind."

"Forehead...."

Watching Yuuko's figure gradually disappear into the mist, Hanekawa Tsubasa turned her gaze to Natsuki, who simply shrugged and said emotionlessly.

"In the future, there will probably be even more strange witches like this under Master's crotch."

"Uh, why did you say 'crotch'... it should be 'under'... okay, that's not wrong either."

Hanekawa Tsubasa tried to correct him, but then sighed helplessly again. These poor servants were indeed witches under their master's crotch. Although the wording was rather shameful, it didn't seem to be wrong.

"Let's go, don't lose them."

"I...I can't run anymore...I can't run anymore..."

Momoko Okonogi nearly collapsed to the ground while leaning against the wall. She felt like her lungs were about to explode, and her legs were weak and powerless. The other three girls were in no better shape.

"Then...then let's rest for a bit. Is the phone still not working?"

Geng Wujiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, panting heavily.

"No...no, the fog here...there must be something wrong with it..."

Momokino Yu glanced at her phone, then continued with a mix of helplessness and apprehension, "I wonder if that catgirl and the guardian managed to repel that suspicious person?"

"It...it should be okay, after all, it's a cat demon..." Hinako Kominato said after recovering a bit.

"A cat demon? Is that strange, legendary creature still here?"

"Yes, that catgirl is shimmering all over... um..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hinako Kominato and the other three girls looked up in alarm at almost the same time. They saw a woman with her face covered by a black cloth and wearing strange armor looking at them curiously from the floor next door.

"You are..."

Suppressing his fear, Geng Wujiang asked.

"answer me."

Instead of answering Geng Wujiang's question, the other party continued to ask in a commanding manner.

"...Yes, there was a cat demon...she saved us. She is very powerful and a guardian of justice and kindness."

Suppressing his worries, Geng Wujiang tried to use the cat demon to scare away the woman who didn't seem very friendly.

"A powerful...cat demon?"

He looked at the four timid girls with some suspicion. He wasn't worried that they were lying to him, but he wondered if they had been scared silly by the vengeful spirits in the fog.

"Never mind, let's take them back first and then ask them."

With a wave of his hand, Hu Long signaled to his other subordinates who had suddenly appeared to take the four frightened girls away.
