In the dark abandoned factory, even though it is daytime, the place is still dim, and the air is filled with the smell of decaying rust.
"Ha ha……"
"Have you finally gotten rid of it..."
Chatata Taihu gasped and leaned against the only window with light, holding the birdcage in his arms and asked.
"No...can't get rid of it..."
A voice came from his arms, it was the parrot that was said to be 'cursed'.
In fact, it was not the parrot itself that spoke, but the soul residing in the parrot, Yuichi Shibata.
But it is obvious that it is impossible for Sadatora Taitora to know and understand these things about the 'soul'. He simply chooses to believe Shibata Yuichi's words, even if the other party really looks like a parrot at the moment.
"It's impossible to get rid of that guy..."
There was a hint of apology in Shibata Yuichi's childish voice, as if he felt very sad for implicating Sadatora Taitora in danger.
"It's really okay...uncle...it really doesn't matter to me."
"Don't give up...Yuichi."
After Taihu calmed down his breathing, he stood up slowly, without any emotion on his face.
"It'll be fine. My strength is my strong body, so..."
Click——
The glass behind him shattered in an instant, and Taihu Sadat reacted the moment he heard the sound.
"Run away uncle! We were discovered again!"
Shibata Yuichi, who was belatedly aware of the situation, screamed in surprise, but in comparison, Thato Taitora's expression was much calmer.
He hugged the birdcage tightly and fled towards the factory.
This place has been discovered, there is no point in hiding anymore, and there are too many things in the factory that can be used by that unknown entity to create 'accidents'.
"——It will be fine."
Chado Taihu sprinted towards the light, which was the exit of the factory.
From beginning to end, the expression on his face did not change at all.
Although what happened at this moment was beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, there seemed to be nothing in this world that could make this young man's expression change.
Of course Chadu Taihu also had doubts in his heart.
But he knew better that doubts and surprises had no effect at all. There was only one thing he could do now - put aside all confusion and move forward straight ahead with a clear target.
"Don't worry, Yugi, your mother... I will definitely save her."
Chadota Taihu looked firmly at the parrot in his arms and assured him.
The child said that as long as he remained in this state and survived for a month under the pursuit of the unknown existence, his mother could be resurrected.
This sounds absolutely ridiculous, but Taihu Chadu still chooses to believe it.
So...how many days has it been now?
He silently counted the days in his mind.
It seemed like three days had passed since the day he met Yugi.
"no problem."
He murmured and ran towards the exit of the factory.
boom--
A violent sound came from high up.
The beam of the factory building was broken by something unknown, and it fell straight in front of the road where Chad was running.
He rolled around holding the cage and avoided it in a panic.
This kind of experience is something he has become accustomed to.
In the past three days, various incidents of falling objects, car accidents, and inexplicable collapse of walls continued to occur around him.
According to Yugi, Sadat knew that what was chasing them was an enemy that could not see or feel.
Although he was very confident in his physical abilities, facing such an enemy and having to protect the parrot in his arms, he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only run away and hide.
But this guy hiding in the dark can quickly find him wherever he hides.
If this continues, he doesn't know how long he can hold on.
But since you have promised something to others, you must keep it.
After dodging the falling beam, Taihu Sadatari rushed toward the factory door again.
But his escape route was too straightforward. The invisible enemy had already taken advantage of the opportunity to stand in front of him, and he was completely unaware of it.
"Uncle! Be careful ahead!"
Fortunately, as a spirit, Yuichi Shibata seems to be able to see the enemy.
"tread--"
Chadu Taihu suddenly stopped, protecting the birdcage with both hands, and looked at the surrounding environment with an expressionless face.
Unfortunately, there were still only dark factories and various abandoned equipment in his sight. As for the enemies that Yuichi Shibata reminded, he could not feel them at all.
But there is no doubt that this pursuer is real. He has verified this with his body many times.
"I'm sorry...Uncle, it's all because of me..."
Shibata Yuichi apologized again.
This man has been protecting him like this since the day they met. For three days, he has not been harmed at all. As a price, this man's burly body has been covered with bruises.
In order to protect him, the man's hands were completely tied when facing the attack, and he could only be beaten.
"Well...it's nothing."
Faced with the other party's apology, Chadu Taihu just responded softly.
He knew his own physical condition best. Except for the serious injury in the previous car accident, the rest were minor injuries.
If it was just this level, he felt that it might not be impossible to survive a month.
However, this is not the case. If Taihu Chadar truly understood what he was facing now, he would never make such a judgment.
Until those 'accidents' just now, it was just entertainment for this Kyon who was hunting Yuichi Shibata.
It plays with Yuichi Shibata and the humans who protect him like a toy.
But now it feels a little tired.
"Kid, the guy you just found seems to be much stronger than the guy before~"
It mocked mercilessly at the parrot in Chadotaihu's arms.
Faced with its ridicule, Shibata Yuichi could only lower his head sadly and remain silent.
Yes, this man who protects himself is not the first person he has implicated.
Before that, many people had been implicated by him.
But he had no choice, because only in this way could his mother be resurrected.
"What's wrong with you? Yugi..."
The vigilant Chadoo seemed to notice something unusual about the parrot and asked softly.
He couldn't hear the exchange between Xu and Shibata Yuichi at all.
"Uncle, put me down and leave here...I don't want to do this anymore..."
Shibata Yugi raised his head and looked at the man with concern in his eyes, only apologetic in his eyes.
This was not the first time that he regretted involving these innocent people in order to resurrect his mother.
But every time this time...
"Your mother is still waiting for you to save her~ What, do you want to give up? Kid~"
The vulture would laugh at him with the same words as he did now.
"..."
Shibata Yuichi once again fell into entanglement.
But at this moment, another gentle voice confirmed this.
"You want to save your mother, right?"
It’s Chadu Taihu.
Shibata Yuichi looked at the man with firm eyes in front of him and felt even more guilty.
In order to resurrect his mother, he has implicated many people.
And this man was the first to choose to believe and help him at all costs.
But the more this happened, the more he felt sorry for this man.
"..."
In the end, he could only choose to remain silent.
But Taihu Chadu interpreted this as acquiescence, "If this is the case, then there is no problem."
He held the birdcage in his hand, took a deep breath, and looked straight ahead.
He couldn't see anything in front of him, but the eyes that seemed to be burning with flames inexplicably made Xu Xing who was standing in front of him feel stunned.
"What's going on...this guy..."
Xu looked at the burly man in front of him in surprise.
This man seems to be completely different from the previous guys. Those guys were either killed by him directly, or they were eager to change hands after knowing that the parrot was 'cursed'.
But this man didn't seem to be afraid.
Although he was clearly facing unknown and incomprehensible terror, his face showed no emotion from the beginning until now.
With such a body and such a will, is he really just an ordinary person?
"The journey ahead may be a little bumpy, Yugi."
Chadu Taihu tensed his body and reminded softly.
Before the other party could answer, a burst of smoke and dust stirred up under his feet, and he sprinted straight ahead, slamming sideways!
Although Yugi had warned him that there was something ahead, he did not choose to turn around and run away.
Because the exit in front of you is the nearest one, if you turn around and run away, you will not only have to take a detour, but the risk along the way will be too high.
So, he chose to break through.
No matter what is in front of him, he just needs to knock it away!
After three days of running away, although he still didn't know exactly what the enemy was, that was all.
Apart from causing some minor troubles that were insignificant to him, he did not feel how terrible this enemy was.
If it was really that terrible, he wouldn't be allowed to live until now.
Therefore, he judged that the invisible enemy was not invincible.
"!?"
Xu looked at the man who was charging straight towards him in shock.
Did this guy see me? No, even if he saw me, he wouldn't hit me directly like this! Is there anything wrong with his brain?
Although it doubted that there was something wrong with this man's mind, its body honestly flapped its wings and flew away.
What would happen if you were hit head-on by a monster that resisted steel bars and bent them?
It doesn't want to use its own body for experiments.
"Damn humans!"
Chado couldn't hear the other party's curses. He only knew that he rushed out of the factory without hitting anything.
"Uncle! Watch your back!"
Cha Tian Yuichi reminded in surprise.
He saw the figure flying and swooping in from the sky behind Chadu Taihu.
This virtual creature seemed to have finally become so angry that it no longer caused those useless 'accidents', but planned to tear the humans in front of it into pieces with its own hands.
"clear."
The running Taihu Taihu responded calmly.
At the same time, his running trajectory began to change.
After rushing out of the factory, there was a sharp turn.
boom--
A violent roar came from where he was just now, as if something heavy had fallen there, and a burst of smoke suddenly filled the air.
"Damn it!"
Xu roared and waved his wings again and stood up, turning his head to look at the running back of that damn man.
It had no idea that such a burly and bulky guy could run extremely nimbly.
Looking at the opponent's retreating back, it roared and spit out a pool of liquid from its mouth. The liquid was mixed with countless small figures, and headed towards the back of Chadu Taihu.
"Bang bang bang——"
Explosions sounded behind Chad.
It's the thing that was ejected from the void.
It was a small Hollow that looked like a leech, its clone, and its ability was explosion.
"!?"
Xu looked at the leeches that exploded in mid-air with some confusion. It didn't control the explosion of these leeches just now. What's going on?
Moreover, the man who was still running away suddenly stopped after the leech exploded.
Why stop? Isn't now a good opportunity to escape? This human's brain is really broken!
"Who are you……"
For the first time, there was an expression on Chawata Taihu's face.
He looked at the man who suddenly stood in front of him with confusion on his face.
The man just waved his hand lightly, and then he heard an explosion behind him.
"Classmates?"
Chadou carefully looked at the slightly familiar figure in front of him, and finally realized that this man seemed to be a classmate who had just transferred here during this period. He seemed to have met him once before when he had lunch on the roof of the teaching building.
"Hello, Sadatari-san."
Xuanhao smiled and greeted Chadu Taihu, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"..."
Chadoo was silent for a moment. Although he didn't know what the other person wanted to do, he could vaguely feel that the man in front of him seemed to be anything but ordinary.
"Did you cause the explosion just now?"
"Yes! It's him!"
Before Xuanhao could answer, the parrot in the cage rushed to answer Chado's question.
"Uncle, this person! Maybe he can help!"
Isamu Shibata reminded Taitora Sadatora as if he had grasped hope.
It was normal for Chadota Taihu not to be able to see what had just happened, but he clearly saw the man throwing a few stones and blasting the leeches that were approaching behind them in the air.
Someone who can do such a thing is definitely not an ordinary person!
"help?"
Xuan Hao focused his attention on the parrot in Chado Taihu's hand, "Kid, don't you think what you did is a little too selfish? In order to resurrect your mother, you chose to sacrifice others?"
"I……"
Shibata Yuichi was stunned, and his tone was a little tangled.
Although he didn't know how this person knew these things, the other person's words completely exposed the fact that he least wanted to face.
"Yes... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was me who harmed everyone... It's all me... It's all my fault that I wanted to resurrect my mother... It's all my fault..." He kept talking to himself as if he was repenting.
With.
Xuanhao just watched this scene quietly. He was more curious. After learning the truth and knowing that he was being used, Chadao would make the same choice as before.
