That's right, the person sitting on the table in the middle of the room was Tadashi, his face was covered in blood.
No, not only was his face covered in blood but his body seemed like it was made of blood. The veins of blood hidden behind the skin emerged like the roots of a moving tree.
Akiko wasn't mistaken, even though the light in the room wasn't enough to help her see his face clearly and although Tadashi's face was currently much different from her memories.
However, Akiko was sure she wasn't mistaken.
Tadashi sat on the table, his left hand was resting on his chin, and his right hand… what should have been his right hand was now a giant sword.
Tadashi's blade and shoulder were connected by countless blood tendons that looked like moving tentacles.
There were many other blood veins that were plugged into the dead people in this family and… sucking their blood.
That's right, Tadashi was sucking their blood like a monster from a horror movie.
Akiko was both surprised and terrified, her brain seemingly unable to think of anything. So she could only stare at Tadashi's calm face.
Laylah was also startled at this moment, this was the first time she had encountered such a strange thing.
Tadashi?
What the hell is he doing?
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Is this a cosplay?
Or is this a Halloween prank?
At this time, Tadashi suddenly grinned: "Hm… you came at the right time, I need more blood, especially the blood of beautiful girls."
His smile was cold, different from the warm smile Akiko usually sees.
Her spine was cold and she was trembling with fear. However, Akiko felt that her legs were glued to the ground, and that she was unable to move.
Laylah suddenly pulled out her gun, aimed it at Tadashi and pulled the trigger.
Her movements were so fast that Tadashi was startled, he didn't expect a normal person to have such a fast speed.
But if Hikaru were here, he would definitely feel that this was normal. Anyway, Laylah is a main character, even though Tadashi's luck has reached 75,000, it is still lower than Laylah's 150,000.
BANG!
The gunshot rang out, the bullet grazed Tadashi's face, leaving a scratch on his cheek.
Tadashi was a bit surprised, but then he got angry, pulled the sword in his hand and rushed towards Laylah.
Laylah wasn't afraid, she aimed straight at Tadashi, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Three more bullets were fired, but before they could reach Tadashi, they were stopped by the blood-colored light ring.
Laylah gritted her teeth, there was fear in her eyes now. Even though she was a main character, and a perfect girl, she was still just a girl anyway.
When faced with this monster, even Hikaru was afraid, so Laylah couldn't help but be afraid.
Laylah tried to hold onto the gun, and the moment Tadashi was less than a meter away from her, she immediately fired another shot.
BANG!
The bullet flew out, Tadashi sneered because the bullet seemed useless to him now.
Thuk!
Suddenly, Tadashi felt as if his sword was fearing something that immediately signaled danger to him.
At this moment, the blood-colored veil of light that protected him disappeared, and the bullet pierced his chest.
"ACK!" Tadashi cried out in pain, he immediately backed away. The excruciating pain he felt made him feel like his heart had exploded and this made him even more angry.
He wanted to cut Laylah into a hundred pieces, and drain her blood.
But when Tadashi saw Laylah showing no signs of stopping, he got scared.
"Damn it!" Tadashi cursed silently, then his body merged into the darkness and disappeared.
Laylah didn't know that, so she fired 5 more consecutive shots, those bullets didn't hit Tadashi, it just stuck to the wall behind.
However, she still didn't relax, holding the gun tightly in both hands, she carefully observed her surroundings.
A minute later, seeing that nothing had happened, Laylah breathed a sigh of relief as she realized that Tadashi had left.
"Akiko, are you okay?!" Laylah asked while holding the gun tightly in her hand. However, no one answered her.
Laylah frowned and turned to see Akiko lying unconscious on the ground and it was unknown when this happened .
"Akiko! Akiko!"
…
Late at night, Hikaru was sleeping, he was immersed in a beautiful dream, while Velys still couldn't sleep because of the sweet kiss earlier.
Shiori was worse, the constant pain made her feel pain all over her body, so she was unable to sleep.
Tonight, she was in so much pain that she had a fever. Two nurses were hired by Hikaru to take care of Shiori continuously to help her reduce her fever.
"Haizz, why is that young man so cruel? This girl is in so much pain that she has a fever, she can't sleep, and yet he doesn't want her to take more pain relievers."
"That's right. This girl is so pitiful. I also feel weird. That young man has enough money so that she can be cared for at home, so why not let her take more pain relievers?"
"Haizz, there are all kinds of people in this world. Or… let's give this girl some painkillers."
"Heh?! Is that okay?"
"No problem! Do you want her to be in pain all the time? Just a little painkiller, they would just subtract it from my salary."
"Do you think painkillers are expensive? Okay, I'm just afraid the young man will find out."
"Huh! We don't let him pay, and besides… he didn't visit this little girl, how would he find out."
"Okay, this girl is too poor, I don't want to let her suffer anymore."
After the two nurses reached an agreement, they injected Shiori with some painkillers.
After a while, Shiori felt better, slowly falling asleep. Before sleeping, her mouth was still muttering something.
The other two nurses, of course, didn't notice, only Shiori knew that she was calling "Hikaru".
That's right, only when she called his name could she sleep peacefully and feel the pain much better.
…
At this time, at the Kisok hospital, in the intensive care unit, Akiko was lying on the bed, her face was white, her and her lips were pale like someone who was suffering from anemia.
The mental shock just now made her unconscious, fortunately Laylah was by her side so Akiko was able to survive.
If just now, the person beside Akiko wasn't Laylah, she would have become the nourishment that would help Tadashi grow his sword.
Laylah sat beside Akiko's bed, frowning as she recalled what had just happened.
It was like a dream back then. Tadashi seemed to have become a monster that specializes in sucking people's blood.
Even his right arm had become a giant sword.
What the hell is going on?
Has the world gone crazy?
Ding!
While Laylah was thinking, the sound of a text message from her cell phone rang.
Laylah took out her cell phone, it was a message from Ryrlia.
[Ryrlia: I have something very interesting, do you want to see it? In return, you must tell me what you said and what information you got from Hikaru.]
Seeing this message, Laylah sighed.
[Laylah: I don't want to joke with you, something very strange happened regarding Tadashi, I don't know how to report it to my superiors, don't give me more headaches.]
[Ryrlia: Tadashi? Coincidentally, what I want to show you is also related to Tadashi.]
Laylah frowned, immediately replying.
[Laylah: ∑ (O_O;) What is that? You have to show me!]
[Ryrlia: You must agree to my request first (─ ‿‿ ─) .]
[Laylah: Okay! I agree.]
[Ryrlia: Sent a video.]
Laylah played the video that Ryrlia sent her to watch. After a while, her gaze became filled with disbelief.
After that, Laylah managed to calm down and texted Ryrlia.
[Laylah: Looks like… Hikaru alone knows the truth of this world.]
[Ryrlia: Hahaha… that's right. That guy is interesting, Laylah, you've hit the gold mine.]
[Laylah: No, Hikaru is more amazing than a gold mine.]
"Um…" At this time, Akiko suddenly woke up, she saw that this place was not the Kioa slum, nor her own room.
Akiko was too tired to sit up on her own, she could only glance around to try to figure out where she was.
"You're in the hospital."
Laylah's voice rang out, Akiko looked at Laylah, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Laylah continued: "You should rest well, you shouldn't care about what just happened for the time being..."
Akiko suddenly remembered what just happened, she seemed to regain her strength and she immediately shouted.
"No! Laylah, what just happened? Why… Why would Tadashi kill people?"
Laylah heard that and sighed: "Haizz, Akiko, it seems you have been immersed in lies for too long."
"Lies? Laylah, what are you talking about?" Akiko asked, confused.
Laylah didn't answer, instead she Showed her the video Ryrlia had just sent her.
That's right, that video was of Hikaru fighting Tadashi. In the video, Hikaru looked like a hero fighting a monster.
However, at the end of the Video, Tadashi ran away, and Hikaru also left.
Akiko watched the video, her whole body trembled, she stammered: "This… that video… maybe it's fake… maybe…"
Laylah shook her head: "Akiko, are you still trying to trust Tadashi until now?"
Hearing that, Akiko gritted her teeth, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
She trembled and said, "No way! Why are things like this? Why is Tadashi that ugly monster?"
"Because Tadashi took advantage of your love of justice." Laylah explained: "Perhaps… Tadashi is already a monster, only Hikaru can stop him."
"However, Hikaru can't take action against ordinary people, that's why Tadashi took advantage of you. He uses his love of justice and hatred of rich young masters to restrain Hikaru."
"That way, Tadashi can easily act, and Hikaru has been messed up by you so he can't stop Tadashi."
Laylah explained, even though it's just her speculation, she believes in it.
Because there is no more reasonable guess.
Hearing that, Akiko's whole body trembled, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she bit her lips so hard that it bled. Her hands gripped the blanket as if she wanted to tear it into pieces.
Akiko said tremblingly, "In the end… I am just an idiot who was tricked by Tadashi. As for Hikaru, even though he was detained by me many times without cause, he still did not take revenge on me."
"Why? Why are we so stupid? Could it be… what I did was wrong?"
