Chapter 7, Monsters

Get out of here quickly

She repeatedly waved her hands, signaling the boy to escape quickly, but the boy's attention was entirely focused on the monster, and he did not notice her at all

She was originally quietly listening to music while taking the tram home, but for some unknown reason, a woman dressed like a white-collar worker not far away suddenly lost her temper and began to harshly reprimand a young man, seemingly suspecting that he was deliberately brushing against her, accusing him of being a lecher taking advantage of her. The young man sat there with his head down, listening to her scolding, his body trembling continuously, as if enduring immense pain

She remained calm, even though her heart was pounding like a drum and her asthma was about to act up; she was still very composed, having already prepared for sacrifice, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Sato family and to avoid bringing shame upon the family name. Just at that moment, a boy dressed in the uniform of Shimizu Private High School walked against the flow through the gap in the door and unexpectedly stood there in a daze.

There are still two elementary school students hiding there, one boy and one girl, both under the age of ten

This guy resembles a human very much, but is definitely not a human; it is some kind of monster

The optimal choice now is to wait for the tram to arrive, and as soon as the doors open, quickly roll off the vehicle, escaping as far as possible.

Standing in front of the car door for a moment can at least allow two children to survive

Her body began to tremble, adrenaline surged rapidly, and the ancient memories embedded in her genes started to awaken, as if humans were facing a ferocious beast. Every cell was trembling, reminding her: run, get away from here, or you will die

In a moment, the immense pressure caused by the confrontation with life and death nearly drove Sato Chitose to curse out loud

Wuyuan Qiu believed that if he turned and ran at this moment, the "monster" that seemed to be very eager for blood would most likely not pursue him, but would instead head towards the girl and child behind the advertisement board. However, he hesitated for half a second, then twisted his body back, slightly bent down, and prepared for battle

The girl was urging him to leave quickly, but paradoxically, this made it impossible for him to depart

She did not dare to show herself, pressing two bewildered elementary school students into the angle formed by the advertisement board and the car door, standing in front of them. She casually took out a sharp utility knife from her backpack, gripping it tightly to bolster her courage, listening intently for the movements of the "monster," ready to fight to the death. However, the monster did not approach, nor did it intend to enter any other carriage.

Chitose Sato has suffered from asthma since childhood, which prevents her from engaging in intense physical activities. She felt that she was already quite unfortunate, but little did she expect that even more misfortune awaited her in life—one day, she actually witnessed a person being torn apart while still alive

The scene instantly descended into chaos, with screams merging into a cacophony. Some people sought to evade, some collapsed, and others, confident in their physical strength, attempted to subdue the suddenly deranged murderer. However, the murderer possessed immense strength; even when several individuals managed to restrain him in the not-so-spacious carriage, he was still able to retaliate. As he twisted and turned, he flung people around, and with each punch and kick, he delivered blows that were unbearable for an ordinary person

Therefore, this young girl is a good person; she should not die, and she cannot be abandoned. She must not be left to take the blow. Otherwise, he would even begin to question his own gender—regardless of nationality or bravery, as a man, one should not place young girls and children in danger. It is only right to step forward and take responsibility; this is the most basic requirement.

She indeed did so, jumping up to flee far from here, but now everyone shared the same thought as her. She had barely taken two steps away from her seat when she was knocked down by someone, her body swaying as she fell behind the guardrail advertisement board next to the car door

That is their responsibility; they are the professionals

He forcibly suppressed the instinctive tremors of his body, hunched over with a stooped back, feigning an attack, demonstrating a determination to fight at all costs. The monster sensed this, fixing its gaze upon him, emitting a deep, guttural roar as a form of intimidation, its entire being exuding a rich, greedy aura for flesh and blood. It slowly advanced a few steps, then suddenly lunged forward, instantly crossing half the length of the carriage.

Everyone was astonished

Sato Chitose only realized what was happening after being splattered with blood, watching as the "murderer" frantically attacked the passengers, continuously creating a scene of carnage, and instantly understood.

How dare you eat people?

Bastard, is this the time to watch the excitement

The monster also noticed the corner of the backpack that was flashing continuously in the gap of the advertisement board, discarded the remains in its hand, and slowly stood upright while its gaze began to wander between the foggy plain of autumn and the advertisement board, seemingly quite interested in the flesh on both sides, with a strong desire to hunt.

She could only raise her backpack and begin to wave it silently, increasing the visual area to attract the boy's attention, hoping that he would escape quickly, and this time, the boy noticed.

Go die!

Considering the education he received since childhood, being a kind person is a deep-seated imprint in his thoughts. Even though he often fantasizes about marrying nine wives to defeat Tang Jieyuan and look down on Wei Jueye, this does not change the fact that he has been forcibly relocated. Is it not permissible to indulge in a bit of fantasy to find joy amidst hardship?

... ...

The situation has suddenly changed

She did not dare to make a sound, as there were two small children behind her. If she disturbed the monster while it was feeding and attracted its attention, it would be unfortunate enough for her to lose her life, and perhaps she would also have to pay the price for the two children.

In the misty wilderness, Qiuyuan's gaze sharpened; he had never faced such an opponent before. The tree spirits wielded their two vine-like arms swiftly, yet their inherent speed was rather slow, resembling that of large herbivores. Once one grasped their patterns, they were relatively easy to deal with, and at least not very likely to be injured by them. However, the monster before him was different; it was fiercer than carnivorous beasts—compared to this monster, the tree spirits were like younger siblings.

But his body was already twisted halfway, and he noticed the slender girl hiding by the car door, as well as the two pale little children tightly protected behind her

However, when he truly resolved to fight, he felt little fear. With a slight shift of his body to gather strength, he delivered a powerful front kick aimed directly at the monster.

However, among the few individuals she knows who can confront this "monster" directly, none are present here, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst

If the monster does not chase, one can live; if the monster chooses to chase...

Listening to this sound, the hairs on Chitose Sato's body stood on end, but she forced herself to calm down, desperately thinking about what to do now. However, recalling the actions of the "monster" just moments ago, she was certain that she had no way out. The physical prowess and lethality displayed by that monster were enough to overturn an entire carriage of ordinary people. Even if a few police officers armed with a Nambu revolver were present, their chances of survival would be slim. That kind of small-caliber handgun struggles to take down a rabbit, making it hard to say whether they could shoot the monster before it got too close.

When Sato Chitose got up, she found that the passengers who could escape had already crowded at both ends of the carriage, and the middle section of the carriage was empty. Not far from her was that monster, finishing off the last brave soul who dared to fight. At this moment, jumping out again would surely be very conspicuous and would likely attract an attack.

Immediately afterward, the man's body swelled, his veins bulging, and he let out a heart-wrenching howl, beginning to attack everyone around him indiscriminately

The passengers were puzzled and curiously observing the situation. The white-collar woman, seeing the man pretending to be a dead dog, became even more furious. She reached out and grabbed him, indicating that she wanted to call the police, and then...

The man suddenly raised his head, his expression twisted, his eyes bloodshot. He reached out and grabbed the neck of the white-collar woman, pressing down hard. With a crisp sound of "crack," the head of the white-collar woman slumped down limply.

So fast

Immediately thereafter, the sound of flesh being torn and chewed began to resonate

Repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with integrity. Strive to show compassion to the weak, and do not bully the weak with strength. Be better to good people and worse to bad people. He believes that this approach is the right way to treat people

Wu Yuanqiu originally planned to leave, but this is not a case of a subway pervert, nor is it an ordinary homicide. The situation before him is clearly unusual, resembling the opening of a "Resident Evil" scenario. It is better to leave it to the police to handle—punishing evil and promoting good is not a mindless endeavor. If one is confident, it is natural to rush in and beat those villains to improve one's physical fitness. However, if the villains appear abnormal and the danger level is high, then at the very least, the police should be allowed to test the waters first.

According to Japanese elementary education, elementary school students should try to avoid sitting on public transportation such as buses and subways, and should instead give their seats to adults who need to rest more. Therefore, when they get on the vehicle, they stand there, completely bewildered and unable to comprehend what is happening, even forgetting to escape, and unexpectedly get hit squarely by Sato Chitose.

In just a moment, several of the brave citizens he sought to subdue were injured to varying degrees, and one was even left with half of his face torn off, emitting a heart-wrenching scream
