Chapter 384

This couldn't help but bring some unpleasant thoughts to mind.

"Sister Ran, we ran into a killer..."

"Brother stayed behind by himself so that we could escape!"

The moment Haibara Ai saw Mao Li Lan,

she seemed to see a glimmer of hope that Hoshino Mu might still be alive.

So, she pointed the way for Mao Li Lan.

"Miss Mao Li, although it's very selfish to say this, but..."

"Could you help us?"

Akemi Miyano finally shed tears.

That pair of beautiful eyes shone with a poignant light.

The battle situation on Hoshino Mu's side could only be described as tragic.

Of course, that only describes the killer's side.

He didn't actually feel that the killer was a formidable opponent.

Although the other party's axe-wielding skills were quite flashy,

they were completely inadequate when placed in front of Hoshino Mu.

They were nothing more than mere parlor tricks.

Fighting requires speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness!

Spinning around with a lousy axe and flying 360 degrees in the air...

Isn't that just pure, foolish showboating?

The reason he hadn't been in a hurry to subdue the killer was because he wanted to conduct an experiment on him,

and this experiment could only be done when no one else was around...

He was very curious as to why this person, who was just an ordinary human, could be so resistant to beatings.

Could it be that he had taken some kind of drug to strengthen his physical constitution?

So, Hoshino Mu smashed his fists into the killer's chest and abdomen, one after another.

He wanted to see just how "fleshy" this killer really was.

"Puh-ugh!"

"Ah-ah-ah-ugh!"

The killer had already been beaten into a sorry state by Hoshino Mu's fists,

but he still hadn't closed his eyes.

"......"

Seeing that he had beaten him enough,

Hoshino Mu took a clean syringe out of his first-aid kit...

This first-aid kit was prepared by Akemi Miyano before they went out.

She said that Hoshino Mu was proficient in medical skills,

and as long as he kept the first-aid kit by his side,

he could perform emergency treatment whenever anyone got hurt.

It must be said that Akemi Miyano really was a versatile little genius.

Thanks to her,

Hoshino Mu was able to have the opportunity to conduct this experiment.

He plunged the needle into the killer's heart,

without the slightest hesitation.

"Ah-ah-ah!"

Suddenly!

The killer's scream was earth-shattering,

scaring all the seagulls on the sea surface into flight.

Hoshino Mu did not waste any time.

He swiftly drew the blood from the killer's heart,

then placed the syringe into a plastic bag,

wrapped the bag up, and put it into his backpack.

"It hurts so much!! Just kill me! I beg you!"

The moment Hoshino Mu extracted the blood from the killer's heart,

he began to cry and beg for mercy...

The bloodshot veins in his eyes disappeared completely,

replaced by a look of sheer terror and pain.

"???"

Hoshino Mu crouched in front of the killer, observing him closely...

"Hoshino-kun!"

It was Mao Li Lan's voice.

Hoshino Mu looked up toward the top of the beach.

His pitch-black eyes remained calm and steady,

as if he weren't the one who had just subdued the killer.

Standing at the top of the beach was Mao Li Lan,

followed by Akemi Miyano and Haibara Ai.

At this moment, the three of them were staring at Hoshino Mu in shock.

They seemed to be gauging whether the scene before them was real.

"Mu!"

Haibara Ai was the first to run over.

Because of her leg injury,

she could only limp as she ran.

Hoshino Mu stood up and took a step forward, catching her as she was about to fall and holding her in his arms.

"Mu..."

Her dirt-stained little face pressed directly against Hoshino Mu's chest.

"Thump-thump! Thump-thump!"

Listening to Hoshino Mu's steady heartbeat,

she let out a silent sigh of relief.
