Chapter 373: Something Happened?
On the Chaotic Seaside, the thin young girl with short hair stood there stupefied. The unfamiliar environment made Kazumi feel a trace of strange familiarity. She moved her body, wanting to explore this extremely strange environment, but that light, floating feeling from within her made her feel exceptionally uncomfortable.
“Shinichi?”
Just as the young girl was feeling strange, the blond figure that had appeared before her out of nowhere made Kazumi freeze, and then in an instant, she recognized the identity of this familiar figure.
She grabbed Sato Shinichi’s arm. It’s probably that in unknown situations, people instinctively rely on those they trust. At this moment, the little girl’s mind was no longer burdened by previous matters; she just wanted to quickly understand what kind of situation it was now.
But before Kazumi could speak, the tall figure under the shadow bent down directly and hugged her without hesitation with his robust arms. The power that filled her with a sense of security slowly transmitted from all around her body, to the point where she didn’t even have the thought to struggle.
“!”
As if all her memories flashed back in an instant, the young girl suddenly thought of something terrifying. A trace of horror emerged in her previously expressionless eyes.
She abruptly lifted her head, looking past the face leaning on her shoulder. What greeted Kazumi’s eyes were the terrifying blades densely filling the entire space, slashing towards her with a murderous aura.
“Don’t!”
The young girl on the bed suddenly sat up from her sleep, one hand reaching forward forcefully, as if trying to grasp something.
The thin blanket draped over her also slipped off as the girl got up, revealing her thin and frail body with slight curves beneath her outer clothes.
“It… it was a dream…”
The familiar Bedroom somewhat reduced the unease in the young girl’s heart. As the floating sensation gradually disappeared, the girl also realized that everything she had seen just now was nothing but a dream.
Her palm touched her forehead. Messy bangs stuck to her forehead due to sweat. The damp touch on her back also told Kazumi her current state.
“A nightmare…”
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Kazumi slowly sat up from the bed, one hand supporting her forehead as if recalling the content of the dream.
Perhaps due to the advantage of her undead consciousness, the young girl did not forget the dream content upon waking up. Instead, the scene that had startled her was clearly replayed in her mind.
Looking at the blond young man in her consciousness who had his body stabbed through by countless blades to protect herself, the young girl couldn’t help but clench her fist, then slowly release it.
“What on earth is this… to dream of this kind of thing?”
Gently rubbing her forehead bit by bit, Kazumi tried to dispel the dizziness caused by being startled awake through such an action.
The dizziness did fade little by little, but the sense of loss caused by recalling that scene again inexplicably grew stronger. Kazumi had had nightmares before, but this was the first time she had such a vivid nightmare. The efficient undead thought process had pushed the girl’s cognitive abilities to their limit. Coupled with Kazumi’s habitual assumption of the worst-case scenario, the most unwanted scene was perfectly replicated in the dream with extreme realism.
“This is so annoying, dreaming of this damn guy.”
Leaning against the wall, the young girl took a pillow from the side and placed it between her legs. Looking at the sky that had completely darkened outside, she reached out and picked up her mobile phone.
The faint light of night mode shone on the girl’s face, and the two bright dots on the screen told Kazumi the current time.
“Slept for almost five hours…”
“Tch, no intention of apologizing at all?”
Habitually opening her messages to take a glance, the empty message bar made Kazumi curl her lips. She then put down her phone forcefully.
After leaning on the bed for a short while, the young girl decided to get up and drink some water.
Her cute little feet, too lazy to even put on slippers, stepped directly onto the wooden floor. She walked two steps to the table and picked up the small water cup with a skeleton head on it, drinking it down in gulps.
The cold water flowed into Kazumi’s stomach. The instant cold dispersed the heat caused by the lingering summer and the nightmare, making her feel much more refreshed.
“Forgot to change clothes…”
Gently putting down the cup, the young girl only then noticed that she was still wearing the casual clothes she had on when she returned from outside. Although wearing a shirt to sleep in the middle of summer was fine, the unrestrained feeling and heat from not unfastening her bra might also be part of the reason she startled awake?
It seemed that previously, it was indeed due to several matters plus using her abilities to revive the Lich Governor that her body was a little fatigued. In fact, she had slept for an hour longer than usual.
“Need to call Little Black to clean up.”
Sniffing the faint rotten scent on her shoulder, the young girl couldn’t help but speak. Although Kazumi always felt that the smell of death was quite pleasant, the cautious young girl would never make such a low-level mistake. Basically, after using her abilities, she would always use the Black Coffin’s absorption ability and Little Black’s own abilities to eliminate the smell of death energy from her body, preventing clues from residual scents.
Looking at the small alarm clock on the table, Kazumi abandoned the idea of changing clothes and going back to sleep. Seeing that her clothes were still neat, she decided to go all out. Activating her ability, the huge coffin entwined with an ominous aura once again appeared in the young girl’s bedroom.
“Might as well go in and take a look.”
…
The refreshing Death Energy rushed towards her, completely dispelling the last trace of sleepiness from the girl’s face.
Kazumi rubbed her face as she walked out of the teleportation gate of the [Black Coffin]. The young girl had two main purposes for coming here. One was to see how Lei’s work was going and if there was anything she needed to help with. The second was to catch Little Black later to cooperate with the Black Coffin to remove the energy traces in the bedroom before throwing him in to do some labor.
“Lord.”
The diligent and responsible Governor put down his work the moment he sensed Kazumi’s arrival and came to the graveyard plaza, respectfully expressing his respect for the young girl.
“Mm.”
Nodding lightly, Kazumi’s gaze shifted towards Lei’s direction. Just as she was about to ask about his work, the scene before her made the girl’s lazy eyes widen.
The normally cold Lich was covered in chaotic energy fluctuations. The right hand bone that was holding the magic book had completely disappeared, leaving only an empty space.
Her expression grew increasingly solemn. Kazumi turned her head directly to look at the bowing Lei and asked earnestly.
“What’s going on? Lei.”
