Second Floor

This conflict on the street attracted a lot of attention. Probably because the police force was not strong enough today, no more patrols arrived until more than 20 minutes later.

However, because the perpetrator had already fled away, the patrol had no choice but to call a few ambulances and take the hot girls, including Ryoko Okuyama, who were lying on the ground groaning.

More than half an hour later.

In the street directly opposite "Suyu Bookstore", at a certain corner intersection, a figure gradually came out of the shadow.

Although she had just escaped, Mizuhara Manami quickly ran back and hid secretly here, paying attention to the movement at the door of the bookstore.

She didn't come out until she was sure the police had left.

"call……"

Touching her chest in fear, Manami Mizuhara herself couldn't believe it. She could be so bold just now and just throw the hot girls and Ryoko Okuyama out together.

Not to mention this powerful power, just this intense emotion made her feel incredible.

"...Is everything because of you?"

Mizuhara Manami tightened her grip on the pendant on her chest, showing a complicated expression and remaining silent.

By now, she has already understood that the pendant given to her by Xi Gu is far from being as ordinary as it appears. It is a truly mysterious thing with otherworldly effects.

The possibility of transcending reality that she dreamed of actually lies in it.

But... this kind of thing really happened as I expected, so why couldn't I be happy at all?

Shaking her head and throwing away those complicated thoughts from her mind, Mizuhara Manami walked out of the intersection, rushed to the bookstore, and went around to the back of Suyu Bookstore, a blocked dark alley.

Looking at the two-meter-high wall in front of her, Mizuhara Manami did not hesitate. She held up her hands, turned over, and immediately climbed over the wall and arrived in front of the back door of the bookstore.

This climb was so easy that Mizuhara Manami was a little panicked - was it so easy? However, when she thought of the incredible methods used by Mio Ito who appeared in the abandoned factory, Mizuhara Manami was immediately relieved.

However, she didn't know that the evolutionary blood contained in the "Pendant of Perception" was only less than 1% effective under normal conditions.

Although due to its penetration, she is now able to take off her glasses, beat Liangzi, and easily climb over a two-meter-high wall, this physical ability is still within the range of normal people.

Only when she was fully opened to the baptism process of the blood of evolution on her body, and every muscle and every cell made a leap in the essence of life, could Mizuhara Manami understand what is truly extraordinary.

Arriving at the back door of the bookstore, it was also locked like the front door. Mizuhara Manami was a little disappointed, but not surprised. She had already guessed this would be the result.

Shaking her head from side to side, she watched for movement around her. Finally, after making sure that no one was around, Mizuhara Manami picked up a brick next to her and slammed it on the glass door——

"Wow--"

A series of crisp sounds made Mizuhara Manami's heart suddenly tighten, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one showed up next to her.

"call……"

While sighing, Mizuhara Manami felt something strange in her heart.

"Why... I used to be a good girl who studied hard, read books seriously, and at most checked out some occult information on the Internet every day, and researched supernatural phenomena. Now she has become a person who can fight, break down doors, and break into rooms without hesitation.

Where is it?"

Sighing sadly, Mizuhara Manami's movements were not slow at all, she quickly jumped over the broken glass and entered the bookstore.

——Still familiar furnishings and familiar bookshelves.

The moment she broke in, Mizuhara Manami had already seen the "Hermes Sage" that she had placed on the side of the bookshelf, as well as the occult classics one after another next to it.

However, compared with the state of mind when reading them last night, Mizuhara Manami now only felt as if she was a world away.

"..."

Cheeks tightened.

Mizuhara Manami walked past the row of bookshelves and came to the counter. As expected - the young man who always wore a mysterious smile and seemed to be looking at the extremely distant shore was not here.

There was only dull air on the seats behind the counter.

This was something that could have been guessed a long time ago, Mizuhara Manami sighed.

Mizuhara Manami glanced to the side - the curtains were tightly closed, and the store was very dark, but under such circumstances, her eyes could still see very clearly. Mizuhara Manami walked around the long corner of the counter and came to the back

, she wanted to search where Xi Gu usually sat to see if she could find any clues, but the moment she came behind the counter and saw the paper stuck on it, her originally casual eyes immediately rounded up.

Opening his eyes, the hairs on the back of his neck immediately stood up——

I saw a few ordinary big words written on that piece of white paper:

"Go to the second floor."

"..."

Who wrote this? Who is this written to?

Doubts like this only appeared in my mind for a moment and I already got the answer. There was no need to doubt at all. This was the message the store manager left for me. He knew he would come, so he posted this here.

White paper.

Mizuhara Manami took a nervous breath, stood up from behind the counter, and looked at the stairs next to her.

Right at the top of the stairs is the second floor of this bookstore. Because of the design of the house, the structure inside cannot be seen from here, and only the entrance to the second floor can be seen in darkness.

No need to hesitate, Mizuhara Manami walked towards the stairs.

Holding on to the handrail, she climbed up the stairs step by step.

The footsteps were heavy, and Mizuhara Manami felt like a puppet in a stage play. All actions were under the control of the performer, and all choices had been restricted by the existence of a certain supreme will.

.

Especially now, after experiencing a series of twists and turns, the girl has an indescribable understanding of something like "destiny".

Just like that, walking with a heavy heart, step by step, deeper and deeper darkness enveloped Manami Mizuhara.

The second floor of the bookstore is different from the first floor. The curtains are tightly covered, and there is no filtered light. Even with Mizuhara Manami's current eyesight, it is impossible to just rely on those faint lights that are nowhere to be found with the naked eye.

Can see things.

Therefore, when she stood completely on the floor of the second floor, both she and everything around her were completely plunged into darkness, and there was no light anywhere she could see.
