Chapter 405: Akihabara
Akihabara, a two-dimensional sacred place in Fuso, is a pilgrimage place for everyone who loves anime, games, and other subcultures. It's filled with unique shops, cafes, and street statues and graffiti based on two-dimensional images. However, at this moment, Mu Yu and Yuan Yuan were not in the mood to appreciate all this. They just want to find a safe place to escape the crisis behind them for a while.
The two of them scurried through the alleys and streets, oblivious to the strange smells and noises around them. Their hearts beat like rabbits being chased, and their breathing became more and more rapid. Mu Yu felt that his palms were already wet, it was Yuanyuan's sweat, and it was his. The sound of their footsteps echoes across Akihabara at night, creating a striking contrast to the surrounding atmosphere.
Suddenly, Mu Yu stopped, he grabbed Yuan Yuan, and his eyes flashed with determination. He points to a building ahead of him, an anime-themed shopping mall and their only option at the moment. They don't have time to hesitate, only run.
They burst into the building, quickly through the empty elevator passage, pushed open the heavy door, and entered a wide space. It's full of anime and game merchandise, display cases with elaborate character models and figurines, and walls covered with posters and illustrations.
They hid behind this two-dimensional world, trying to breathe as evenly as possible, and their mood calmed down a little. But they all know that this is not the end. They also need to continue to find a way out and keep running until they are completely out of the crisis that is chasing them.
Mu Yu prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this place would provide them with some shelter. He held Yuanyuan's hand tightly and looked at her eyes full of fear but determination. He knew that they had to be strong and they had to be brave enough to face it all.
They are looking for a way out in the two-dimensional ocean, and everything around them seems to become illusory. All the merchandise, posters, and character models were quietly watching them, as if to tell something. The sound of their footsteps echoing through the empty shopping mall, creating a strange harmony with the quiet world.
Eventually, they found a staircase that led upstairs. Without hesitation, they ran up and came to the corridor upstairs. It was so quiet that only their own heartbeats and breathing could be heard. They found a door that was ajar, and when they entered, they found it to be a cleaner's lounge.
They huddled in the corners of the room, trying not to make any noise. Although they were safe for the time being, Mu Yu knew that they could not let their guard down. They also need to continue to be vigilant and continue to look for a way out until they find a truly safe place.
Mu Yu's heart was beating like a drum, his hands were clenched, and cold sweat slipped down his forehead. Although he had imagined this scene countless times in his mind, the actual experience was far more terrifying than he imagined. He entered the seemingly peaceful lounge, expecting to finally be able to catch his breath in peace, but he didn't realize that it was just the calm before the storm.
The door to the lounge slowly closed behind Mu Yu, bringing a low echo. His breath was heavy in the air, each breath was as heavy as lead, and he could hear his own heartbeat. However, in this dead space, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
In the air, the breath of a ninja is creeping in. It was a distinctive, cold, death-like aura that pierced the silence of the confined space like a sharp sword. Mu Yu's heart was shocked, he quickly turned his head, but saw that in the corner of the lounge, the darkness was quietly receding, and several figures emerged from the darkness.
It was a few ninjas, their eyes cold and determined, like the gaze of a cheetah before a hunt. Their hands clenched sharp blades, radiating a cold glow. Mu Yu's heart tightened, and his body immediately entered a posture of self-preservation.
The ninjas didn't attack right away, they seemed to be enjoying this game of cat and mouse. There was banter and cruelty in their eyes, and they knew that the hunt was doomed.
However, Mu Yu did not give up. His eyes were fixed on them, and his heart was full of determination. He knows that this is a life-and-death contest, and whether he wins or loses, he must fight to the end. He can't be as defenseless as before, and he's going to break the game of this hunt.
Mu Yu's fingers gently stroked the weapon on his waist, and he felt the cold touch, which was his only defensive tool. He counted every second in his mind, and at the same time, all the defensive and counter-attacking strategies that he knew flashed through his mind.
At this critical moment, Mu Yu suddenly attacked. His movements are lightning fast, making it impossible to see. His fingers pressed the weapon, and a flash of light streaked through the dark room. The figure of a ninja fell in the light, his hand still clutching the unuttered attack.
However, there are many ninjas, and they travel through the darkness like ghosts. Although Mu Yu's movements were fast, their attacks were even faster. Cold light shot towards Mu Yu from different directions, making it impossible for him to find a safe place to hide.
Mu Yu knew in his heart that the outcome of this battle seemed to be doomed. However, he was still reluctant to give up. He didn't want to be the prey of this hunt, and he had to resist as much as he could.
At this critical moment, a ray of light flew out of his pocket and pierced the dark room. It was his last trump card – an elaborate firework bazooka. He quickly pulled the fuse and shot the fireworks into the center of the break room.

The sound of the explosion echoed in the air, and the intense flash of light caused all the ninjas to temporarily lose their sight. Mu Yu took advantage of this opportunity and quickly jumped in one direction. He held the smoke bomb he had pulled out of his pocket in his hand and threw it down with all his might.

White smoke instantly filled the entire lounge, obscuring everyone's view. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu Yu quickly passed through the ninjas' defense line and rushed out of the lounge.
