"This is really a joker card."

While eating the cake, Hanako began to mock Hisaen with a gloating look on her face.

The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It seems my luck has run out."

Originally, when he got the clue about the identity of the Slit-Mouth Man from the Gang Heroes, he had already planned to find a suitable opportunity to retreat. However, who could have imagined that a more powerful guy would appear at this time, making it immediately more difficult for him to escape unscathed.

Hanako, however, was not impressed by his pretentious expression, and he stretched out his short legs and kicked Kuen's chair.

"You've already made a backup plan, so stop pretending to be pitiful."

"You should cooperate with me a little bit..." Jiuyuan said, "You are eating the cake I made, but you are not soft-hearted at all."

"Don't forget that I now know exactly what you are thinking."

"Okay, okay." Jiuyuan stopped chatting with Hanako. He called out the system and chose to learn about the new character on the character card.

His reputation had long reached the requirement for unlocking new characters. He was slow to release the third character because each character could be born at a different location without any restrictions when unlocked, and he didn't want to waste this good opportunity.

By the time the Slit Man left, he had already come up with a new idea.

He consulted the system about how to quickly build reputation. The attribution of reputation was very intelligent and would eventually point to him. There were limits to single-soldier combat. No matter what it was, gathering together would definitely produce more chemical reactions.

He also has many divergent ideas, such as creating different power relationships for his different vests, and even letting them fight each other. Isn't the collision between organizations a good opportunity to brush up reputation?

But that’s all in the future. First he had to create a companion for the Slit-Mouthed Man.

A companion who can help him and complement him.

"System, unlock the new character Snow Girl... Oh no, it should be Snow Boy?"

…

…

"You guys, are you really not human?"

Nakahara Chuuya pressed his hat again.

In order not to affect other partners, he had already moved the battlefield outdoors.

The heavy rain has stopped, but the ground is still wet and slippery, which is not a suitable environment for combat. However, as Chuuya Nakahara observed, he found that the opponent's actions were not hindered at all.

The feeling of fighting the opponent is very strange. The supernatural power clearly hits the target, but the feedback is not strong.

He thought - it was like fighting with cotton. In the end, no one seemed to be hurt, but the battle was very tense.

Zhongyuan Zhong, who was in the middle of the situation, was somewhat irritable because of this weakness.

In addition, Nakahara Chuuya had encountered this kind of "non-human" existence before, so he remembered this feeling.

But the man in front of him seemed a little different from those things.

"You didn't answer my question at all." Nakahara Chuuya lowered his voice.

That madman still only knew how to chop roughly, without any fighting skills at all.

Occasionally, he opened his mouth, and his cry was like a ghost.

After receiving the attack from the opponent, Nakahara Chuuya thought to himself: Could this be some new kind of vengeful spirit?

At this time, he had already distanced himself from the opponent.

After leaving Guangjin Liulang, the opponent did not say a word, but just fought with him silently. As a gravity user, Nakahara Chuuya could naturally feel the great force of the opponent's swing - it was simply not a strength that humans could possess. If he had not had the advantage in ability, he would really be hurt by this brute force.

"It looks like he's not going to tell you anything." He was getting a little fed up with this cat and mouse game and was planning to go all out to get to the bottom of the matter.

The weirdo sensed the surge of power and stopped moving, took a step back, then turned around and tried to run away.

Very sharp, he thought.

But there was no way he would let her go.

"Hey, don't try to run—" Nakahara Chuuya immediately gave the order to the others: "Shoot!"

At this moment, a chill came from under his feet, and Nakahara Chuuya jumped up subconsciously and landed on the container next to him.

He lowered his head and held his hat, and saw that the place where he had just stood was covered with a layer of crystal clear ice.

The legs of the lower-level members were covered with ice and snow, and they were unable to move even a step.

“It was a big fight.”

A young man in white clothes and with snow-white hair walked slowly towards them from not far away.

Wherever he stepped, ice flowers sprouted.

The young man blinked slightly, his long eyelashes fluttering, his ice-blue eyes sparkling in the night. After a few steps, he stood quietly in the distance, giving people a sense of ethereality, as if declaring that he "does not exist in this world."

In addition to the white kimono, there is also an ice-blue haori.

There are only these two colors on the whole body, which looks very harmonious.

The young man smiled warmly and looked up at Nakahara Chuuya who was high above him. "Good evening, Mr. Hat. A wet rainy night is really pleasant, don't you think? I want to take a healthy night walk in the sea breeze."

"I have no interest in talking to an anonymous guy."

Nakahara Chuuya was still on a high place, and even though he was looking down at the young man, he still felt it was very absurd and became even more alert.

——Because the young man in front of him looked even more weird than the weirdo he had fought with.

It's not about the appearance, but the atmosphere it gives people.

It is normal for Nakahara Chuuya to think so. As a modern urban legend, the birth time of the Slit-Mouth Man is not as long as that of the classical monster Snow Woman.

It is only natural that the latter will give humans a more mysterious feeling.

The young man was not angry even though he touched the soft nail.

"Excuse me, you can call me Axue. The slightly confused man you just fought with is my partner."

Nakahara Chuuya chewed on his name, then looked at him, "Are you only willing to give a fake name now?"

Ash just smiled.

"This is for your own good, human child. You do look somewhat special, but I would still advise you not to get involved with anything on this side. Ah... by the way, you are the highest-ranking person here, right?"

“I guess so.”

"Then can you please listen to my request?" Without waiting for Nakahara Chuuya to speak, the young man said softly, "For the sake of no one being injured, can you please help me?"

"——As for what happened to my companion today, I apologize to you on his behalf."

The young man lowered his head and bowed to Nakahara Chuuya and the members of Gang.Hei.

Such a polite action made the Hong Kong and Black people look at each other in bewilderment.

Then I heard Ah Xue say slowly in an unpleasant tone: "He... that child, he has some mental problems."

After hearing this, the members of Gang Hei wanted to complain even more——

Were we almost scared to the point of having psychological problems? !

Facing the wonderful expressions of the crowd, Ah Xue remained calm.

"Don't worry, I don't want to decide your thoughts with just my mouth. In your human terms, I want to compensate you for your mental damages."

He raised his sleeves, and a gust of cold wind blew over everyone.

"Consider this as my apology gift. I wish you a good dream."

The next second, the sounds of bodies falling to the ground could be heard one after another.

Nakahara Chuuya found that all the members present had fallen to the ground. He immediately approached, but found that they were just asleep, with peaceful expressions, as if they had fallen into some sweet dream.

...Is it that guy's ability?

But why didn't it work for him alone?

"Oh, Mr. Hat, you're still awake?" Xue seemed a little surprised that Nakahara Chuuya was still awake, and showed the first touched expression since they met -

"It is such a misfortune that you cannot enjoy the beautiful dream I gave you."

"…A beautiful dream?"

Axue was a little curious about Nakahara Chuuya, who was not affected by his ability. He took a few steps forward, holding his chin with one hand and looking at Nakahara Chuuya with inquiry.

"Um……"

Ah Xue's voice seemed to come from far away, and the tone of his voice when he spoke was quite like he was singing a song, with the lingering sound having a unique flavor.

"Too close." Nakahara Chuuya stared at him unfriendly.

As long as the person in front of him does something out of the ordinary, he will attack without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Ah Xue just tilted her head, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said leisurely: "Mr. Hat, do you know the legend of the Snow Girl?"

"It's a story full of horror, romance, contradictions and yearning—"

"For example, they would kiss their loved ones, but during the kiss they would capture their souls, and then freeze them and put them in their caves, to be with their loved ones forever..."

Axue stretched out her finger and put it in front of her lips.

"I wonder if Mr. Hat is immune to the Snow Girl's kiss?"
