Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that soone had died and needed a case solved, but... it was beyond his expectations.
"Goodness gracious."
Standing at the cockpit door, Duanmu Huai looked inside with speechless disbelief. The copilot seat in the cabin was occupied by an unconscious pilot, and seated on him was a young man with blond hair.
In other words...
"Hijacking, huh? Goodness gracious, I’ve grown up without ever seeing sothing like this before."
Duanmu Huai crossed his arms, staring at the cockpit, and couldn’t help but whistle. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai ntioned, hijacking is sothing most people never encounter in their entire lives, and yet he happens to co across it? What kind of luck is this?
Beside him, the silver-haired girl just looked at the man with indifference, her expression extrely calm.
"Are you detectives?"
The blond man furrowed his brow in confusion, looking at Duanmu Huai, obviously skeptical of his identity. The silver-haired girl stepped forward and spoke.
"Instead of asking questions, shouldn’t you announce your na first?"
"Ha."
Upon hearing the silver-haired girl’s inquiry, the blond man chuckled lightly.
"Bat, that’s my codena."
"Hello, Bat."
The silver-haired girl stared at the blond man and spoke.
"My na is Xie Sita, I’m a detective."
At this point, Xie Sita glanced at Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai just furrowed his brow and sneered.
"Just a re hijacker, why go to such great lengths? What good is knowing my na to you? You’re about to die anyway."
"Haha, you two are quite interesting."
However, the blond man apparently didn’t take Duanmu Huai’s words seriously, rely chuckling lightly.
"Since you’re detectives, why don’t you deduce the reason I’m hijacking this plane? If you get it right, I won’t snap the captain’s neck."
"So, if we get it wrong, everyone including yourself dies? Do you really not care about your own life?"
Upon hearing Xie Sita’s inquiry, the blond man rely let out a smug cold laugh and shrugged.
"Ha, maybe without doing this, I wouldn’t feel the value of life."
"Then let make you feel it now!"
Before the blond man could finish speaking, with an angry roar, Duanmu Huai dashed into the cockpit, reaching out to grab the blond man.
Logically, given Duanmu Huai’s build, entering the narrow cockpit wasn’t easy, not to ntion the cockpit door only allows normal human-sized bodies through. Previously, Duanmu Huai was just standing behind Xie Sita, so the blond man never expected him to rush in, so much so that when Duanmu Huai’s large hand grabbed the blond man’s collar, he was stunned for a mont, not registering what had happened.
The next mont, the blond man flew out of the cockpit like a stone shot from a catapult, and Xie Sita and Mianmu Zuoniao, who were originally standing there, quickly stepped aside, watching the blond man crash headfirst into the cabin wall.
"Ugh..."
At this mont, the blond man was dizzy, staggering to stand up, only to find that Duanmu Huai had sohow already left the cockpit. His towering fra blocked the cockpit door, fully preventing the blond man’s attempt to rush back into the cockpit to seize the captain as a hostage.
Damn it! What kind of monster is this guy!
Cold sweat ran down the blond man’s head; he was no longer at ease as before. He could feel the beastly, terrifying aura radiating from this guy, as if he would tear him apart alive the next mont!
What should I do?
The blond man quickly glanced around. At the front of this wide-body aircraft was a screen-like setup; the wall he leaned against was in the middle, with two paths on either side leading to the cabin. At this mont, these paths were also blocked by two girls. On the left was the girl nad Xie Sita, looking at him with a cold, expressionless face. On the right, there was a green-haired girl, seemingly accompanying the monstrous man. At the mont, the green-haired girl just stood there, her eyes fixed on Duanmu Huai, showing no attention to him...
Great chance! It’s you!
The entire process lasted less than two seconds before the blond man made up his mind. Then, an eerie scene unfolded.
His left ear suddenly split open, transforming into a giant tentacle that struck toward Mianmu Zuoniao with lightning speed!
As long as I can pierce through this girl’s body and use her as a shield, I can turn the tables!
Blondie thought, and he acted accordingly.
But that doesn’t an the outco was as he imagined.
At the mont the tentacle shot out, Nemu Satori’s body suddenly spun, and simultaneously, a flash of sword light cut that tentacle in half.
"Ugh... ahhhhh!!!"
Clearly, for Blondie, this was an imnsely painful experience. He clutched his head and staggered backward.
How could this be? How could this be? How could it happen like this!?
Blondie was still staring intently at Nemu Satori, unable to believe his eyes, because even now, Nemu Satori hadn’t once looked directly at him!
Of course, Blondie didn’t know that Nemu Satori possessed a peculiar ability called the [Eye of Observation]. Generally, when humans observe sothing, they focus their attention, and their pupils automatically move and focus during the process. Thus, people can use their gaze to judge the target and position of others.
However, Nemu Satori was different. Observation and looking differ: observing is distant and broad, looking is near and narrow. Nemu Satori’s [Eye of Observation] was also trained in this way, aning she could constantly capture all information on the scene before her without needing to focus to lock onto a target.
So, many tis, others thought Nemu Satori seed to be in a daze, not even looking outward as if her spirit was wandering. Yet, in truth, everything before her was captured by her eyes.
Additionally, Nemu Satori maintained a SAN value of 0, so even during combat, she didn’t exude any killing intent. Thus, it was quite a headache for Nemu Satori’s opponents.
After all, Nemu Satori might tilt her head in one mont and say sothing casually, and the next mont, her sword would pierce straight toward your chest. During this process, she wouldn’t even glance at you, and you wouldn’t detect the slightest hint of anything amiss.
Duanmu Huai rembered when he encountered Kanegi Chisato in another world. She excelled at predicting by observing the opponent’s eyes and muscle movents, even able to dodge bullets with this god-like reflex ability. However, if Kanegi Chisato faced Nemu Satori, she would be completely countered, her predictions, and observations utterly useless against Nemu Satori. Because Nemu Satori didn’t need to look at her at all.
So fighting Nemu Satori was a truly painful ordeal. She didn’t need to look her opponent in the eye, creating the illusion that her attacks weren’t directed at them. Especially when facing nurous enemies, this was more apparent.
Previously, during Duanmu Huai’s tour of Qianyuan Dormitory with the Five Swords, Hua Jiu Jue ntioned that among them, Inaba Tsukuyo was the best at one-on-one combat, while Nemu Satori excelled at group battles. This was because when surrounded by multiple attackers, Nemu Satori’s [Eye of Observation] had a strange trait that made all attackers believe she was looking at soone else, not themselves. By the ti Satori’s sword ca at them, it was already too late.
Unfortunately, Blondie clearly didn’t know this.
But before Blondie could struggle more, Duanmu Huai’s large hand reached out, grabbed his head, and slamd it against the wall.
"Alright, kid, prepare to die."
Duanmu Huai grinned wickedly, looking at Blondie’s pain-stricken face.
"You’ll soon realize the value of life! No need to thank , it’s free!"
"Ugh... ah..."
At this mont, Blondie was in extre pain. He felt that under the opponent’s ferocious grip, his head was truly starting to crack, hearing the crunching sounds of his skull!
"Ahhhhh!!"
At this mont, Blondie couldn’t help but roar out loud. Simultaneously, the flesh of his left ear swelled abruptly, transforming into three sharp tentacles that directly thrust toward Duanmu Huai’s body!
He’s going to fight this monster to the end!
anwhile, the sword light rose again.
Nemu Satori’s White Wooden Sword severed one of the tentacles, while the other two accelerated, like sharp blades, stabbing at Duanmu Huai’s massive form.
Then... with a dull "thud," they were completely bounced back.
How could it be?
Blondie widened his eyes in horror, feeling that when his tentacles struck Duanmu Huai, it was like hitting a thick tire, completely unbreakable!
And at this mont, Duanmu Huai extended his other hand, grabbing the remnants of the tentacle next to Blondie’s left ear.
"You seem to have so grass growing on your head, mind if I yank it out for you?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s sinister, vicious voice, Blondie trembled all over. He wanted to shout, scream, and break free, but unfortunately—it was too late.
Duanmu Huai’s right hand gripped the quivering tentacle and pulled it hard, like yanking weeds from a garden!
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
At that mont, Blondie felt heart-wrenching pain, like his nerves were forcibly being torn from his flesh, the intensity of which was far beyond what he could bear. He persisted for less than a mont before his entire consciousness vanished into darkness.
