Chapter 46: Mutated Corpse ④
"What happened? Why did it return to its original state?" Koizumi Akako looked at the ahoge in her hand with a puzzled expression, her heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. She tried to use Aho-Man again, but couldn't make it work as it had before.
At this moment, Lin Yu reminded her, "Akako, complain! This thing can only be used after complaining!" He recalled the scene when he first encountered Shi Leng, knowing that only by voicing complaints could its power be stimulated.
When Koizumi Akako heard this, she was momentarily speechless, then directed her complaints at the unruly hair: "Ugh... how can there be such a bizarre magical item in this world? The person who made this thing must have a very peculiar way of thinking! What a weirdo!" As she finished her words, the ahoge indeed changed again.
However, this time the transformation surpassed everyone's expectations. The ahoge actually morphed into a laser gun, emitting a dazzling light. Koizumi Akako was so surprised her jaw dropped. She had never imagined that this stray hair could turn into such a weapon.
Koizumi Akako tentatively pulled the trigger and saw a blinding flash of light, followed by a deafening explosion. She flinched but quickly realized she was unharmed. Instead, she saw a powerful laser beam shoot out from the muzzle and pierce straight through the far wall.
Her eyes widened in disbelief at what she was witnessing. She had never seen, or even conceived of, a weapon so potent. The laser's power was immense, effortlessly penetrating the solid wall as if it were no obstacle at all.
"This... this is amazing!" Koizumi Akako shouted excitedly, her voice filled with surprise and exhilaration. She gripped the gun tightly, feeling its formidable power.
"Hehe, you stinky monster, come and face my judgment!" Koizumi Akako said proudly. A surge of confidence coursed through her, and she felt she now possessed the means to deal with those hateful creatures.
She pulled the trigger again, this time aiming at the monster. With a loud bang, the laser fired once more, but the monster nimbly dodged, and the beam instantly struck a building in the distance. The structure was annihilated in a flash, reduced to rubble.
"Boom boom boom!!!" Koizumi Akako held the laser gun and kept firing. The monster frantically ran and leaped to evade the relentless attacks. Koizumi Akako was having a blast, but the surrounding buildings were the ones suffering the consequences. Each shot she fired inflicted significant damage, transforming the once neat and orderly area into ruins in a matter of moments.
The unfortunate residents were heartbroken to witness the destruction of their homes. However, faced with this seemingly demonic girl wielding a laser gun, they didn't dare approach rashly and instead resorted to calling the police.
Soon, Inspector Megure received numerous calls reporting the incident. The callers described a female demon wreaking havoc on their properties. Given the recent Earthbound Spirit incident, Inspector Megure had become particularly sensitive to such extraordinary events. He immediately recognized the gravity of the situation and swiftly gathered his officers to head to the scene.
A few minutes later, Inspector Megure and his team arrived. The sight that greeted them caused their eyes to widen in utter astonishment. They saw a girl wielding a laser gun, relentlessly pursuing a monster of bizarre and unfamiliar form.
Chapter 47: Mutated Corpse ⑤
Inspector Megure scanned the scene and soon spotted Lin Yu. He walked over and greeted him with forced enthusiasm, "Haha, Brother Lin Yu, long time no see."
Lin Yu looked slightly bewildered. Hadn't they just met the day before yesterday? How could it be a long time?
"Hahaha, look at my memory! It just feels like a long time since our last meeting!" Inspector Megure awkwardly chuckled and patted Lin Yu's shoulder with a strained smile.
Lin Yu offered a polite but somewhat strained smile in return, thinking that this police officer was certainly trying his best to be amicable. "Yes, it has been a while, Inspector Megure. What can I do for you?"
Inspector Megure's smile faltered slightly. He lowered his voice and said with a hint of desperation, "Could you perhaps ask her to stop? The damage she has caused is already in the tens of millions of yen."
Lin Yu chuckled inwardly. This amount of money was insignificant to him, but he feigned surprise and said, "So much?"
Seeing that Lin Yu didn't seem inclined to intervene, Inspector Megure quickly added, "Yes, it's substantial. You really should try to persuade her, otherwise the losses will only escalate."
Lin Yu smiled dismissively and said, "Only tens of millions? It's nothing. Let her have her fun. As long as my woman is happy, she can play however she likes. I'll compensate for the damages!"
Lin Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, thinking that this small sum was utterly trivial. Making his wife happy was worth any price.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Inspector Megure was utterly dumbfounded. He stared at him with wide, disbelieving eyes and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Damn, what a rich man!"
He hadn't expected Lin Yu to be so wealthy and completely unconcerned about the situation. He had naively assumed Lin Yu would restrain Koizumi Akako, but now it seemed his assumption was wildly off the mark.
Lin Yu's tone and attitude left Inspector Megure feeling utterly helpless and frustrated. He inwardly groaned, lamenting his terrible luck. Not only did they have to deal with this bizarre incident, but they would likely face a severe reprimand from their superiors. He couldn't help but sigh, secretly blaming himself for always stumbling into such extraordinary situations.
Inspector Megure took a deep breath, attempting to regain his composure. He knew further arguing with Lin Yu would be futile. He needed to find a way to resolve this escalating crisis as quickly as possible.
He decided his first course of action was to contact his superiors, report the bizarre situation, and request immediate support. Simultaneously, he planned to deploy his officers to secure the perimeter and protect the remaining shops and civilians to prevent further losses.
Having made these decisions, Inspector Megure glanced at Koizumi Akako, who was still enthusiastically wreaking havoc, and shook his head in utter resignation. He offered a silent prayer, hoping this chaotic spectacle would end soon.
At that very moment, amidst the chaos, the incredibly resilient monster was finally struck decisively by Koizumi Akako! One of its thick thighs was instantly pierced by the laser, and viscous green blood gushed out like a waterfall.
The monster unleashed an earth-shattering roar, filled with unadulterated rage and murderous intent, and lunged directly towards Koizumi Akako. However, Koizumi Akako showed no sign of backing down. With remarkable speed, she raised the laser gun and aimed steadily at the monster's ferocious eyes. Just as the creature was about to pounce, she decisively pulled the trigger, and a blinding laser beam shot towards its eyes with lightning speed.
The monster shrieked in agony and crashed heavily to the ground, sending a cloud of dust billowing into the air.
Suddenly, the monster's body began to convulse violently. Its form gradually shrunk, contorting until it finally coalesced into an inky black sphere. Koizumi Akako stared at the strange orb with wary curiosity, completely unaware of what was about to transpire.
Without warning, the sphere exploded, unleashing an incredibly powerful force, like a surging tidal wave, that spread outwards in all directions. In that instant, Lin Yu materialized in front of Koizumi Akako as if appearing from thin air. Without hesitation, he shielded her tightly behind him, his own body absorbing the full brunt of the explosion's power.
...
Chapter 48: Complaints about Energy Collectors
"Sister Akako, your weapon is so powerful! Can you lend it to me to play with?" Sonoko asked expectantly, her eyes wide with longing and envy.
"That won't do. This is a gift from my husband!" Koizumi Akako smiled and gently shook her head, then carefully cradled the Tucao Energy Collector in her arms, as if it were a priceless treasure, a protective look on her face.
"Tsk, so stingy!" Sonoko pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction, but the desire in her eyes didn't lessen in the slightest.
"But..." Koizumi Akako's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said with a sly smile, "If you promise to do me a small favor, I might consider letting you play with it for a little while."
"What do you need help with? Tell me quickly!" When Sonoko heard there was a chance, she immediately perked up, her excitement palpable.
"Hehe, it's not a difficult task at all. Just help me buy an ice cream. As long as you do that, I'll lend you this fun thing for a bit," Koizumi Akako said, pointing to an ice cream shop not far away with a bright and cunning smile.
"Ah? That's it?" Sonoko was a little surprised, then nodded without hesitation, "Okay, no problem!" With that, she dashed towards the ice cream shop like a happy little bird.
Koizumi Akako watched Sonoko's retreating figure, the corners of her mouth curving into a smug smile. She thought to herself, "This silly girl is so gullible." However, when Sonoko returned happily with a large serving of ice cream, Koizumi Akako suddenly had a change of heart.
"Sonoko, thank you for the ice cream, but I've changed my mind and still don't want to lend you my weapon," Koizumi Akako said deliberately, a teasing smile playing on her lips.
"How could you do this!" Sonoko's eyes widened in anger, and she stamped her foot, exclaiming, "Didn't you already promise me?"
"Haha, it was just a joke. Look how worked up you got! Here, take it and play with it!" Seeing Sonoko's anxious expression, Koizumi Akako couldn't help but burst into laughter, then she handed the Complaint Energy Collector to Sonoko with a smile.
Sonoko excitedly took the Tucao Energy Collector, ran over to Xiaolan, and said with wide-eyed wonder, "Xiaolan, it's just a hair, how can it be so powerful?" She fiddled with the strange object in her hand curiously, her eyes full of confusion and amazement.
"Yes, the gifts that Ayu gives us always hold surprises!" Xiaolan said, looking at Lin Yu, who was talking to Inspector Megure with a happy expression, her eyes filled with love and gratitude. She knew that this gift not only represented Lin Yu's care and affection but also his thoughtfulness.
At this moment, Sonoko, who was nearby, overheard Xiaolan's words and asked curiously, "Xiaolan, so you have something like this too? Show it to me!" Her eyes widened with anticipation, a hint of envy in their depths.
However, Xiaolan answered without hesitation, "No!" Her tone was firm, leaving no room for argument.
Sonoko was taken aback. She hadn't expected Xiaolan to refuse her so directly. She couldn't help but complain, "What? Xiaolan, when did you become so stingy? It's just a thing. It wouldn't hurt to let me take a look."
Facing Sonoko's complaints, Xiaolan smiled apologetically, then patiently explained, "It's not that I don't want to show it to you. Ayu said that the Collapsing Jade has become one with me, and we cannot be separated." She gently touched her chest, feeling the familiar presence of the Collapsing Jade within her, and a warm feeling bloomed in her heart.
Hearing this, Sonoko's mouth dropped open in surprise. She couldn't imagine such a magical occurrence. However, she also understood that since it was a gift from Lin Yu to Xiaolan, it must hold special meaning and value. So, she stopped her pestering and said with a smile, "Well, if that's the case, then never mind."
Xiaolan smiled and nodded, indicating that she would definitely cherish this precious gift. She knew very well that this seemingly broken jade not only granted her immense power but had also become a symbol of the deep bond between her and Lin Yu.
Chapter 49: Human Trafficker
Sonoko blushed, leaned close to Xiaolan's ear, and whispered, "Xiaolan, I like Brother Lin Yu so much. I really want to be with him. Can you help me?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan was stunned. She would never have imagined that her best friend was also attracted to her man. She decisively refused, "No!"
Seeing Xiaolan's resolute stance, Sonoko grew anxious. She grabbed Xiaolan's hand and shook it pleadingly, saying in a coquettish tone, "Hey, Xiaolan, just help me~ Please... I just want to be with Brother Lin Yu..."
It was the first time Xiaolan had seen her best friend like this. Her heart softened, and her initial discomfort subsided. She sighed softly and said helplessly, "Okay, but just this once. Don't do this again in the future."
When Sonoko heard Xiaolan's promise, her face lit up with elation, and she hugged Xiaolan tightly. "That's great! Xiaolan, I love you so much!"
Xiaolan smiled slightly, patted Sonoko's hand, and continued, "I just need to go home. You can sleep in my room tonight. I'll have Ayu come to keep me company. As for how things develop between the two of you, that depends on your own charm."
Hearing this, a confident smile spread across Sonoko's face, and she said assuredly, "Hehe, Xiaolan, don't worry. With my charm, I can definitely win Brother Lin Yu over!"
While the girls were talking, a hurried cry for help suddenly echoed from a distance: "Quick, catch the human traffickers! Someone is snatching a child..."
The voice was like a sudden clap of thunder, startling everyone present. When Inspector Megure heard it, he immediately recognized the gravity of the situation and turned to assess the scene. However, no sooner had he turned than he felt a gust of wind rush past him. When he regained his focus, he found that Lin Yu, who had just been speaking with him, had vanished.
Lin Yu moved like a blur, intercepting the five human traffickers with incredible speed. He saw the two terrified children clutched in their grasp, and a furious rage erupted within him like a volcanic eruption. Whether in his past life or this one, the most despicable individuals in Lin Yu's eyes were these heartless human traffickers. Once he encountered them, he would not hesitate to obliterate them.
"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" One of the traffickers pulled a sharp dagger from his waist and pointed it menacingly at Lin Yu, a vicious glint in his eyes. Several others also brandished their own weapons, knives and clubs, threatening fiercely, "Get out of here quickly if you know what's good for you, or you'll regret it!"
However, facing these brutal criminals, Lin Yu felt no fear. Instead, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified. He narrowed his gaze slightly and sneered, "Humph, you scum! You dare to traffic children here? Your crimes are unforgivable! Today is the day you die!" With that, Lin Yu moved like a phantom, charging towards the armed trafficker.
Lin Yu's hand shot out like lightning, seizing the trafficker's wrist that held the dagger. With a swift twist, a sickening crack echoed as the man's wrist broke. Simultaneously, Lin Yu's other hand lashed out, gripping the man's throat and squeezing with brutal force. A gurgling sound escaped the trafficker's lips, his eyes bulging, his face contorted in agony and terror.
Then, with swift, decisive movements, Lin Yu broke the necks of the two traffickers holding the children before instantly whisking the terrified youngsters to safety a considerable distance away. After ensuring their safety, Lin Yu turned back to face the remaining four traffickers, a look of utter disdain in his eyes.
At this point, the four men were pale with terror, but they still attempted a show of bravado, shouting, "You... do you know who we are? If you dare to touch us, you will definitely suffer the consequences!"
Lin Yu merely sneered, too disgusted to waste words on them. With a casual wave of his hand, a gas bullet shot out at astonishing speed. A loud bang followed as the projectile struck the four traffickers. The force of the explosion ripped through them, tearing their bodies apart and turning them into a gruesome mist of blood and flesh. In the blink of an eye, all five human traffickers had been reduced to ashes, vanishing into the air.
Chapter 50: Mistaking a Garden for an Orchid
That night, Lin Yu gently pushed open Xiaolan's bedroom door. The room was dark, devoid of any light. He didn't think much of it, assuming Xiaolan might be a little shy, so he didn't turn on the lights.
"Baby Xiaolan, here I come!" Lin Yu called softly, then eagerly slipped into the bed, ready to spend the night with Xiaolan.
...
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window, illuminating Lin Yu's face and gradually rousing him from his deep sleep. He stretched sleepily and reached out beside him, wanting to feel Xiaolan's soft body. However, when he looked down, his eyes landed on a vivid splash of red on the white sheets.
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel confused, but he still lifted the quilt. In an instant, the scene before him utterly stunned him—a bright plum blossom stain stood out starkly against the white fabric.
A sudden chill ran down Lin Yu's spine, his heart pounding with astonishment and confusion. He widened his eyes and quickly looked to his side, only to find that the person lying there was not Xiaolan, but Suzuki Sonoko! There were still faint tear tracks on her face.
"It's over... I slept with the wrong person!" Lin Yu's mind reeled, completely overwhelmed and at a loss. This was Xiaolan's room. Lin Yu had never anticipated anyone else being there.
Last night, he had been consumed by passion, like a wild beast, fully surrendering to his desires. However, he had never imagined that the woman with whom he had spent the night was actually Sonoko.
"Hmm..." Sonoko stirred slowly, blinked, and gradually regained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Lin Yu sitting beside the bed.
She tried to sit up, but as soon as she moved, a sharp, tearing pain shot through her lower body, as if countless tiny needles were piercing her simultaneously. The severe pain instantly spread throughout her entire body, causing her to cry out, "It hurts!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Yu heard Sonoko's cry and quickly turned his head, his eyes filled with concern and anxiety, his voice urgent. "Sonoko, how are you? Are you hurt? Are you feeling unwell?"
When Sonoko heard Lin Yu's question, her face flushed slightly. She lowered her head embarrassedly and said softly, "Brother Lin Yu, I... I'm fine, it's just that you were too rough last night, and my body couldn't handle it..." Her voice grew softer and softer, barely audible, but the shyness and sweetness within it were unmistakable.
Lin Yu then realized that his behavior had been quite inappropriate. He sighed softly, then looked at Sonoko seriously and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, Sonoko. I truly didn't know you were sleeping here last night. I thought it was Xiaolan... But don't worry, now that you have become my woman, I will definitely take responsibility for you to the end. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, protect you, take care of you, and will never let anyone hurt you."
"Well, Brother Lin Yu, I am willing to be your woman. I will also bear many children for you, enough for a football team," Sonoko said shyly, then buried her face in Lin Yu's chest.
Hearing this, Lin Yu was deeply moved. He held Sonoko's hand tightly and said softly, "Thank you, Sonoko. I will cherish you as well." Before he finished speaking, he leaned down and kissed Sonoko's forehead.
As the two were enjoying this tender and sweet moment, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, followed by Koizumi Akako's gentle voice.
"Honey, come down and have breakfast!"
When Sonoko heard Koizumi Akako's words, she was slightly startled, then looked at Lin Yu shyly. She whispered to Lin Yu, "Brother Lin Yu, let's go downstairs, otherwise the sisters will be waiting anxiously."
Lin Yu nodded, then took Sonoko's hand and led her downstairs.
