Chapter 38

~7 min read 1,243 words

After saying goodbye to Lin Ye, Tachibana Hina walked straight toward the train station at the intersection ahead.

It was late at night, the breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness. The air in Chiba, located by the sea, was even more humid. She couldn't help but hug her clothes tighter to reduce heat dissipation.

"Student Lin is actually quite normal to get along with, not as bad as Senior Hiratsuka said,"

"Maybe it's because of the amnesia!"

Lin Ye had lost the memories of his mischievous period and showed his original, truly kind, and well-behaved side. This made Tachibana Hina think that Lin Ye's amnesia might actually be a good thing.

Closer to the train station,

Tachibana Hina couldn't help but quicken her pace, and the high heels stepping on the solid, flat asphalt road made a crisp 'tap-tap' sound.

'Sniff, sniff...'

Suddenly,

Tachibana Hina smelled a faint burnt smell, like the smell of charcoal from barbecue that had been overcooked.

Pungent,

She frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it, instead quickening her pace involuntarily,

"Probably some family nearby is having a barbecue!"

But after walking no more than two steps, under the illumination of the streetlight ahead, a black figure appeared.

The elongated shadow covered his face, making it impossible to see what he looked like.

Tachibana Hina subconsciously slowed down her pace and turned left to bypass him, avoiding too much interaction with the stranger ahead.

Public security in Japan is good, and there is no need to worry too much about safety on the road at night, but as an adult woman, and a beautiful woman with a good face, it is necessary to maintain a sense of vigilance.

She knew very well that there are always bad people in this world, and once she encountered one, she would encounter very terrible things.

It's just...

After turning to bypass him and walking no more than two steps, the figure ahead also moved, blocking her path directly in front again.

Tachibana Hina's heart tightened, and the alarm sounded immediately.

If this were a coincidence, it would be too abnormal.

Therefore,

Tachibana Hina deliberately slowed her pace and walked toward the other side.

As a result...

The figure moved again, blocking the path directly in front.

The distance between the two was about fifteen meters.

Suppressing the anxiety in her heart, Tachibana Hina felt she should return. Her right hand had already reached into her bag and gripped her phone, so she could call the police and contact the police at any time.

The burnt smell was even stronger.

Accompanied by her breathing, it stimulated Tachibana Hina's brain again and again.

She retreated with vigilant small steps, while the figure ahead moved slowly step by step, and its body movement seemed to be a bit stiff.

The distance between the two became closer.

Tachibana Hina couldn't help it anymore and decided to issue a warning first. If she was wrong, she would sincerely apologize to the person in front of her.

"Sir, hello! May I ask if you can stop deliberately blocking my way?"

Don't provoke someone with malicious intent first.

"If you need money, I can give you some here,"

She even took out a 10,000-yen Fukuzawa Yukichi note. To be honest, she still felt quite pained.

Having just joined Sobu High, her monthly salary was only 200,000, but compared to her own safety, this 10,000 yen was nothing.

It's just that Tachibana Hina saw the other party still indifferent, instead moving slowly step by step closer.

"My student is right behind, I'm going to call the police."

She held up her phone, facing the dial screen toward the approaching figure.

But the other party still had no reaction.

And at this time,

Under the illumination of the white streetlight, the figure's face was clearly illuminated. On his humanoid face, pieces of pitch-black charcoal were cracking, and black-red liquid was flowing through the cracks, with flesh and blood mixed together.

Tachibana Hina's eyes widened at this moment, and her brain fell into a brief blankness for a moment.

"So... painful..."

"So... hot..."

The burnt smell came rushing toward her, becoming more and more stimulating and intense.

A monster!

Tachibana Hina finally reacted.

"Ah ah!"

The scream could no longer be controlled and shouted out.

She took a step back and immediately turned to run, but a hand grabbed her shoulder,

With a 'thud,' she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Woo..."

Tachibana Hina, lying on the ground, looked at the figure behind her. The pitch-black figure became even more hideous, and the grinning smile showed how terrible it was.

She kicked her legs hard, trying to get away, but she found that her legs had unexpectedly lost their strength, and they were so soft that she couldn't use much strength at all.

It's over, it's over!

Tachibana Hina became more and more anxious, and the panic in her heart gradually filled her.

'Swish!'

The charcoal figure's eyes suddenly protruded like a dead fish, and the flesh on its face cracked, revealing the bright red flesh inside,

"Burn..."

It pounced over,

Tachibana Hina closed her eyes in fear and shouted out.

But when she came to her senses again, she found that there was an extra figure in front of her.

A familiar back.

"Lin... Student Lin Ye?"

"Get up quickly, leave here with me."

Lin Ye helped up the panicked Tachibana Hina.

The moment he heard Tachibana Hina's scream, Lin Ye activated time stop and arrived in time. If it had been ten seconds later, Tachibana Hina would probably have really died.

……

…… ===== CHAPTER 92 =====

During the time stop,

Lin Ye pulled Tachibana Hina away at the first opportunity. After letting the female teacher get away from the weirdness, he began to observe the weirdness one step ahead.

This weirdness was vastly different from the weirdness at the Love Heart Hotel.

Unlike the black-gray infection symptoms of the female receptionist, the weirdness in front of him had pieces of charcoal on its face, with red flesh clearly visible in the cracks, and liquid flowing out.

It looked like a corpse that had been burned.

After the observation, Lin Ye picked up a stone from the side of the street and launched a fierce attack toward the charcoal weirdness. The hard stone hit the weirdness's head with continuous heavy blows in a short period of time.

But Lin Ye didn't know if simple physical attacks had any damage, just like the female receptionist at the hotel, the physical damage was almost zero.

"Go this way, Teacher,"

After Lin Ye helped Tachibana Hina up, he pulled the female teacher and ran toward the distance.

Up to now,

He hadn't heard the mission completion prompt from the 'Weird Game,' which indicated that the weirdness hadn't been killed; it was still alive.

After running for about 20 meters, Lin Ye saw out of the corner of his eye that the fallen figure was staggering to its feet. Under the illumination of the streetlights on both sides of the street, its body seemed to be permeated with a faint blue color.

The weirdness was moving again, and its speed seemed to be a little faster.

"Lin, Student Lin, what is that..."

Tachibana Hina was panting, her eyes looking behind her involuntarily, but she glanced away in fear, but that figure made her heart beat violently. ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
