The blazing sunlight shines brightly on the glass exterior walls of skyscrapers, as if the steel forest has been covered with an illusory coat.

The roar of the car engine caused the hot air to vibrate slightly, and passers-by could not hear the vague conversations with specific meaning...

All kinds of complicated things seem to pull away the spirit, and the consciousness gradually becomes impetuous and falls into nothingness.

"Miki! Miki!"

The soft touch on the shoulder and the clear and slightly worried voice brought Miki Akimoto out of her trance.

"Really, you won't fall asleep, will you?"

In front of him, a cute girl with twin ponytails puffed her mouth, put her hands on her hips, and complained.

"Please help me see how this dress looks like."

This is her best friend: Ling Yin.

"It's not like you took too long trying on clothes."

Akimoto Miki replied with a smile, looking at the other person.

“The style is a bit outdated and it doesn’t feel as good as the last one.”

"Really?" Suzune held up the hem of her skirt with a look of regret on her face, "But...it is endorsed by Sweetheart Mask."

The two are sophomore students from the University of Finance and Economics in City Z. Today happened to be a day off, so they made an appointment to go out for fun.

It was noon, and the sun was strong, but it still couldn't stop the two of them from going shopping.

Just holding a parasol, I stepped on almost every floor tile in the commercial street.

Although they ended up with very few shopping bags in their hands, they all enjoyed the process.

"Shall we go eat first?"

Akimoto Miki stood up and took Suzune's arm naturally.

"I know a very famous Western restaurant. If you go there now, you might be able to meet a professional hero!"

"Really!?"

Hearing this, Lingyin's eyes couldn't help but light up. She didn't even try on the clothes and pulled her partner out of the clothing store.

"Hey, that's right."

On the way, she seemed to think of something. She suddenly lowered her voice and leaned towards the beautiful tree next to her.

"Did you know that there was a strange attack near here two days ago, and I heard that the main culprit was the owner of the Shun Nian Kendo Gym!"

"I must know, didn't I miss it in the news?" Akimoto Miki replied angrily, "That old man looks weird, he is definitely not a good person."

"Wow, have you ever seen such a big shot?"

"Hehe, when I watched the martial arts competition a few years ago, he was one of the judges."

"Speaking of which, this year's martial arts tournament will start soon. I heard that several A-level heroes will also participate."

"Where is the venue? If it is city Z, let's buy tickets and go see it live!"

"Okay, okay."

Although the appearance of the two of them is not that of a fairy, they are both handsome and slender.

Coupled with a rather fashionable skirt, she showed off her long and beautiful legs.

He was laughing and laughing on the street, attracting the attention of passers-by from time to time.

But obviously, the two of them seemed to have been accustomed to this kind of gaze and didn't care.

Suddenly, Miki Akimoto, who was chatting with her girlfriends and smiling, stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Suzune asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Without answering, Miki turned around and looked at the corner of the street behind her.

She seemed to...hear some kind of sound?

"Ahhhh!!!"

With boundless fear, the screams suddenly sounded.

A man with tattered clothes and blood all over his body rushed out of a shop on the corner of the street.

"Help me! Help me!"

He shouted, his face covered with blood filled with horror and fear.

laugh--

The desperate cries for help stopped abruptly.

A thick tentacle protruded from the shop and penetrated straight through the man's chest.

You can vaguely see the suckers on the tentacles with spiral-shaped ferocious teeth, frantically eating the man's flesh.

A vaguely human-like figure, covered in rot and exuding a stench, slowly walked out of the store.

On the four tentacles behind him that danced like seaweed, more than a dozen human corpses were suspended in the air like meat skewers.

It squinted its eyes and scanned the street as if it were looking at prey.

The long, forked scarlet tongue licked between the lips.

Thick saliva dripped slowly.

The breath of fear filled the air.

The bustling street suddenly became quiet for a moment.

immediately--

"ah!"

"Help!"

"Run away!!!"

Shouts, calls for help, and even cries were mixed together and suddenly erupted.

Viewed from a high altitude, the panicked crowd was like a swarm, surging towards the surroundings like a wave.

"run!"

Without any hesitation.

The moment he saw the tentacle piercing the human body, Akimoto Miki turned around.

Pulling the bell beside him who had not yet reacted, he ran towards the direction of the Hero Association branch.

Over the years since the emergence of weirdos, officials have publicized numerous strategies on how to defend yourself when encountering weirdos.

In her university, there are even required courses in related fields.

The essence of it can be summed up in one word:

escape!

The bodies of ordinary people are simply unable to fight against ferocious monsters.

Only by staying as far away from each other as possible and waiting for rescue from the authorities and the Heroes Association can we survive!

Thanks to Akimoto Miki's quick response, even though the two of them were less physically fit and their clothes were not suitable for strenuous exercise.

But they still belong to the outermost group of people who fled.

The location is relatively safe.

However, that weirdo who regards humans as prey does not have a low IQ.

It is not satisfied with simply filling the stomach.

It wants, more!

At such a terrifying speed that ordinary humans could only see a blurry figure, the tentacled monster quickly shuttled through the streets.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he caught up with the fleeing crowd.

Bangchi——

Four huge tentacles waved randomly among the crowd, causing a bloody storm.

Countless limbs were flying, and broken corpses were scattered on the ground.

It wants to kill all these people and then enjoy it slowly!

"Huh...huh..."

Panting heavily, Akimoto Miki pulled Suzune beside her and ran wildly on the street.

The speed was not slow, but the screams from the crowd behind him became increasingly clear.

From the corner of his eye, he could even catch the scarlet outline of thick tentacles waving all over the sky.
