Chapter Twenty-Four: The Vampire Dies
After the night of the battle with the Prajna Spirit, Li Wu spent a few days of peaceful school time.
Yuki Akabane's investigation doesn't seem to be over yet, and Aoi Hoshikawa asks for a few days off from school, and according to her, she is going to a nearby city to ask a magical girl senior in politics to help clear up the relationship.
Shiratori Maki and Hikari will not officially start their activities until next week.
Therefore, Li Wu suddenly found that for the first time since the beginning of the new semester, he had the leisure to enjoy his daily life.
In class, chatting with Uehara and Mizushima, and going to Class D to find light.
Three days passed.
At noon on Friday, he came to the top floor of the school building.
Chiyo City Inaba High School's main building is arranged in a horizontal shape like the letter "H", and the school building is connected to the club building by a corridor that is flanked by what the students call the atrium.
During lunch break, some students sit in groups on benches or find a secluded place to eat alone.
There are no monsters, no monsters in the negative realm, and this kind of time is not bad.
From here, he looked down at the scenery beneath his feet with satisfaction.
Should I say that I was infected by light? There was an urge to say something dramatic.
Facing ordinary classmates, teachers hurriedly running in the aisles with lesson plans, and squirming forward white fog......
Wait a minute, it looks like there's something strange mixed in.
It was a sunny day, but there was a small cloud of mist in the corner of the atrium.
If you are not careful in the sun, you may think that it is a cloud of smoke and dust that has been swept up by the wind, but in Li Wu's eyes, such a misunderstanding cannot occur.
Because there is a line of text that moves with the mist.
γVampireγ
He immediately thought of his classmates, as if he was called Arisa?
Although it bears the name of [Vampire], it has not shown anything special before, and the open-air physical education classes are also held as usual.
What is she doing? Just as Li Wu was thinking like this, a scream came from the atrium.
"There's a zombie!!" "Resident Evil has erupted!" "Bones, so many bones!"
The mist blurred into a humanoid form, and it fell to the ground on its back.
A large patch of blood oozed from the vampire's body, but the other students didn't have time to pay attention to the scene of the transformation.
Because something crawled out of the ground of the atrium.
First stretched out his dry arm, and then held the ground and pulled his body out, in the process, many parts scattered, and an eyeball happened to jump in front of a girl with a bento.
The latter rolled his eyes and fainted.
Rotting living corpses, ragged bones, as if at the start of a B-movie movie, the inhabitants from the world outside of common sense invade the realm of everyday life.
The people who were still in the atrium screamed in terror and fled like ant colonies doused with a pot of hot water.
In a hurry, Li Wu directly jumped over the fence and jumped from the top floor.
The body felt a momentary sense of floating, and then fell in the pull of gravity.
He stretched out his right hand, grabbed the lower edge of the window frame of the lower classroom, and after eliminating the force of the fall, stepped on the wall and jumped outward, as if someone in the classroom saw this scene and let out a cry of surprise.
When they hit the ground, the walking dead in front of them were approaching the lying vampire.
She seemed to be conscious, and she half-sat up from the ground, looking at the corpses that surrounded her, a look of horror on her face.
She didn't want to be hunted and killed for no reason, but she didn't have the ability to resist.
The pupils turned red only because the vampire's recovery power was working spontaneously when he was injured, and there was no power at all.
Except for a short period of time to turn into fog, it has no skills.
Such a pathetic vampire deserved to be stoned to death by garlic.
She looked at the hideous dead around her, and sorrow came from it: "Woo, I'd rather be stoned to death by garlic." β
Eliza Tsepes's eyes were tightly closed, she didn't have the guts to prepare for death.
Then, she heard the click of bones being violently broken, and smelled the stench of carrion as if it had been burned.
Something struck with the sound of breaking wind, and with the crisp sound of blows and the hiss of the flames as they scorched the flesh, they got closer and closer.
She felt herself being lifted up by some kind of force, and she was moving rapidly.
"Woo-ah-ah! Ahem! β
Arisa instinctively wanted to scream, but spat out a mouthful of blood due to her injuries.
Although this was not a big deal for the vampire, the other party stopped walking.
She opened the gap in her eyes and peeked behind her.
He met the eye with a young man with flames wrapped around his right hand and holding her in his left hand.
He asked worriedly, "Erisa-san, you just vomited a lot of blood, are you okay?" β
"Huh? Not...... No, I actually have the disease that occasionally vomits blood. β
It's not good, it's super bad, this guy is not a normal person when he looks at it with his right hand on fire, he can't be that kind of alien hunter, undead killer or something.
Can't let him find out that he is a vampire, so it's strange to fool the past by pretending to be sick here, how can anyone believe that this disease exists!
"Is it a disease? Forget it, those guys haven't solved it yet. β
Really believed!
However, Arisa soon realized that she was still in crisis.
They had now made their way down the aisle to the other side of the atrium, leaving only a pile of dismantled bones and charred corpses in their place.
But there are new dead crawling out of the ground, and it makes one wonder if Inaba High School was built on the site of the Great Cemetery.
There was no one else staying in the atrium, and Li Wu noticed that the evacuation announcement sounded in the teaching building, and there were still people staying at the window, dialing their mobile phones.
Although according to Hoshikawa, even if ordinary people experience an extraordinary event, they will distort into another appearance in their minds afterwards, Li Wu still wants to solve this matter as soon as possible.
"Well, can you put me down?"
Arisa cautiously suggested.
"Are you alright? I just saw you fall. β
Li Wu put her on the ground according to his words.
"That's also because of illness! Actually, it's just a sudden exhaustion! It's like being hungry! β
"Is that kind of injury just the level of hunger......
Vampires are amazing.
The dead marched towards the two who were not communicating on the same channel, and Li Wu took on a fighting posture.
"That's right! I've seen them controlled by someone in the back! β
Arisa reminded.
It was when she was suddenly chased and killed by that man that she fled to the atrium, trying to use the fog to dodge.
"Huh? Who is it - no, it doesn't seem to need to be asked. β
A figure stepped out of the building, and the skeletons and corpses stopped moving, looking at him like their peers.
He wears a black cloak and a mask that looks like a skeleton.
Seeing his appearance, Li Wu clenched his right hand, and the flames surged violently with the high will of his will, startling Elisa beside him.
"Can it be said that it was all effortless to come by?"
