Saying this, she slowly lowered her head, looked at Little Thumb below in surprise, and revealed a shy, bright smile, happily saying,

"Let's die together, Little Thumb~"

...

...

At this moment, Akihabara.

"Boom!!"

Above the sky, thunder rumbled, and strong winds rose.

Although it was not yet evening, the dark sky seemed to bury Tokyo's steel forest.

Only the Skytree was exceptionally bright in the midst of the darkness, continuously emitting an unclean pink glow.

"I still can't figure out why An Le just let it pass like that?"

On the road, the four hosts were anxiously searching for Yan Huan.

Sakuragi Hitomi had notified her family, but it would take time for them to get here, so they decided to look for Yan Huan in all possible places instead of idling around.

Having searched for a long time to no avail, Bai Yi couldn't help but reminisce about what had happened earlier.

"Perhaps she knew she was no match for the four of us teaming up. But I think she won't let it go so easily..."

Ye Shiyu glanced at Bai Yi and inferred.

Sakuragi Hitomi was too tired to walk and had to sit on a bench nearby, gasping for breath as she reminded,

"In that case, we have to be careful of her sneaky attacks later. Her ability is very insidious; it seems she can bestow effects from a distance besides using tentacles."

Hearing this, Bai Yi smirked and complained,

"That An Le, clearly the one Yan Huan likes is me, yet she's acting like a wronged wife catching a mistress, chasing us around everywhere..."

"..."

"She's probably desperate knowing she has no chance."

Bai Yi shrugged and shook her head, subconsciously moving forward only to bump into Ye Shiyu's chest suddenly.

Recoiling back, Bai Yi was about to complain about her messing up her makeup.

But looking up, she saw the three people in front of her were staring blankly behind her.

"You... what's wrong with you guys?"

"Bai Yi, behind you..."

"Huh?"

Bai Yi blinked and turned to look behind her, only to see a slender tentacle poking its head out from between the tall buildings, looking at the four of them below.

The people around were coming and going, with nobody looking up.

It seemed that only the four of them could see the tentacle in mid-air.

Seeing this, Bai Yi sneered and confidently spoke,

"Uh... that guy, apparently scared we'd kill her instantly face-to-face, so she's hiding to release the tentacles! What a despicable person!"

Having said that, Bai Yi, who was standing in front of everyone, finally stopped avoiding and took out a pocket watch...

Hmm, when An Le appeared earlier, she instinctively protected Ye Shiyu before her and got scolded by Ye Shiyu.

She called her a "coward," a "wuss," claiming she was useless except for hiding...

This seriously infuriated Bai Yi.

Now, let me show you my strength, Ye Shiyu!

"Don't be afraid, she's alone, and there are four of us! Let's go together, drag her out and teach her a lesson!!"

Bai Yi looked at the lone slender tentacle and made her bold declaration...

However, in the next second, through Bai Yi's vision, more and more tentacles began to swarm out like a tide from the gap in the buildings...

Each tentacle entwined and writhed in mid-air, looking extremely terrifying.

"Boom!!"

"Gurgle!"

The fishy smell of the tentacles came surging like a tsunami, making Bai Yi's legs instantly go weak, almost kneeling down.

"Tha... That seems to be a lot of tentacles, huh? How about we... run first? Huh?"

Bai Yi stiffly turned her head, but where were Ye Shiyu and the others behind her.

First, our player number one, Ye Shiyu!

When she saw the second tentacle come out, she turned around and ran without any hesitation, impressive!

Maintaining the head position now, quick and smooth, leaving everyone in the dust!

Player number two, Spencer!

What?!

She's actually carrying player number three, Sakuragi Hitomi, who seems semi-paralyzed, on her back?!

Even so, she's barely keeping up with Ye Shiyu?!

No wonder she's a seed player in the Yuanyue Academy's club competition finals, sprinting two 400 meters back to back!

And our player number four, Bai Yi...

Um...

"You... you guys, you actually ran without calling me?! Ah ah ah, damn damn damn!! I hate you guys!!"

Bai Yi wanted to cry without tears, trying to keep up, but after a few steps, she finally realized something,

"Wait, why am I running with unconcern, huh?!"

Immediately, she stopped, smugly pressing the pocket watch in her hand.

"Beep beep... tick tock..."

Unconcern, activate!!

In the next second, she stood still, leisurely strolling with her hands behind her back, watching the dense tsunami of tentacles rushing forward.

"Boom!!"

Watching the lightning-fast tentacles chase after the group, Bai Yi sinisterly shook her head,

"Hmph! That's what you get for not waiting for me!"

"Tick... tock..."

She was just about to move when she suddenly realized something.

Although the tentacles hadn't discovered her, as long as she didn't proactively touch them, she wouldn't be affected.

But...

She was now surrounded by tentacles!!

What would she do if the time of indifference ended later?!

"..."

Bai Yi stood in place and blinked, suddenly feeling as uncomfortable as if she'd swallowed a fly.

The next second, her legs gave out, and she sat back down where she was.

Though it was awkward, she still maintained an elegantly cute duck-sitting posture.

Even with a tearful and extremely aggrieved expression, her sobbing voice was melodious.

Not to mention, despite her little face being all scrunched up, she still looked pitiably lovely...

It's just that the words coming out of her mouth weren't so pleasant,

"Supplement... supplemental medicine... someone save... save me?! Boo... hoo hoo..."

...

...

"What is that?!"

On another street, Tong Yingying stared wide-eyed at the tentacles pouring down like a tsunami from the sky, completely stunned.

This terrifying scene, she had only ever seen in sci-fi movies.

But now...

It was right in front of her eyes.

"Are you crazy, shouting nonsense?!"

But her dazed gaze made a passerby in front of her hesitate slightly, then he turned his head to look in the direction Tong Yingying was staring.

Finding nothing, he thought he had encountered a nutcase, and started cursing immediately.

They...

can't see it?

Tong Yingying didn't even have time to argue, she just quickly turned her head to Yan Huan.

Only to see Yan Huan's eyes wide open, also stunned by the tidal wave of tentacles.

"Yan Huan, you can see it too, right?"

"Hmm... that's An Le's modifier... or rather, superpower."

Yan Huan swallowed hard, his thoughts unexpectedly agile.

He immediately glanced around and saw that in the darkened sky, the only thing standing out was the Skytree, shrouded in a filthy pink mist.

The endless tentacles seemed to be surging from the top of the Skytree.

Is it An Le?

"Supplement... supplemental medicine... someone save... save me?! Boo... hoo hoo..."

At that moment, Yan Huan seemed to hear a pitiable yet melodious cry for help.

He quickly turned back, murmuring,

"Bai Yi?"

"Bai Yi? Your classmate?"

Tong Yingying hadn't heard anything, only showing a puzzled expression.

"Yeah, she's also a superpower holder."

Looking at the grand scene as if it had strayed into the wrong movie set, Yan Huan frowned slightly, and two items appeared in his palm.

An ancient-looking ring and a delicate carved pink crab.

"Sister Tong, those tentacles are An Le's powers; she's using that ability to hunt down the other superpower hosts right now!"

Yan Huan swallowed hard, quickly turning to Tong Yingying and saying seriously,

"We have to split up. I need you to help rescue those superpower hosts!"

"...Why save them? If those superpower holders are so terrifying, wouldn't it be better to let them fight it out?"

"No, that'll just make things worse! Not only will their powers grow stronger, but something could happen to An Le too!"

Tong Yingying looked blankly at the serious-looking Yan Huan, then gritted her teeth and said,

"You better give me a good explanation later!"

"Of course!"

Hearing Tong Yingying agree, Yan Huan felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

This is...

what it feels like to have a trustworthy teammate?

All those difficult days he spent fighting alone...

Thinking this, Yan Huan felt like worshipping Sister Tong as the second "deity" next to Ye Lan.

But considering what Tong Yingying just did...

Well, reluctantly take a step back.

Call you "Saint Sister Tong."

With that thought, Yan Huan turned and ran.

Seeing this, Tong Yingying, just about to leave, couldn't help but ask,

"And you, where are you going?!"

Yan Huan waved his hand, calling from a distance,

"The Skytree!!"
