"Careful, something's wrong with her!"
Fujibayashi immediately realized there was a problem when he saw Morino Kaede's movement.
He instantly pulled out his pistol, released the safety, and aimed the muzzle at Morino Kaede, who was standing at the door.
"Click click..."
The two young police officers also reacted quickly. The moment Fujibayashi shouted the warning, they drew their guns and retreated, creating distance between themselves and Morino Kaede.
"Stand up!"
The police officer named Yun even kicked the table hard with a "bang," aiming his gun at the two children sitting on the chairs, his expression fierce as he roared.
His action made Kai-chan's heart tighten outside the window, and he immediately wanted to smash through the window. But the next moment, he calmed down.
"Yun! What are you doing?"
Duanjie looked at his colleague, who was pointing a gun at the two children, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Fujibayashi also glanced at him from the corner of his eye, but he didn't speak, concentrating all his attention on Morino Kaede.
"What am I doing?" Yun still pointed his gun at the two children, his wrist holding the gun slightly trembling. He said sharply, "Can't you see!?"
"This family, this woman, and these two children all have a problem!"
"What kind of children would show such an expression when being pointed at with a gun!?"
Duanjie, hearing this, subconsciously looked at the two children sitting on the chairs.
"Swish!"
The moment he looked at the two children, they both turned their heads simultaneously like ghosts, their lifeless eyes staring straight at him.
Duanjie shivered, immediately feeling a chill rush to his head. It was extremely eerie.
"Gulp..."
Duanjie secretly swallowed, slowly took a step back, and simultaneously aimed his gun at the two children.
"How could this be..."
Outside the window, Kai-chan looked at his younger brother and sister, their eyes vacant and lifeless, with a surprised expression.
At the same time, an inexplicable sadness welled up from the bottom of his heart, and tears involuntarily streamed from his eyes.
"Naru, Haisa..."
He could sense the extremely dangerous signals from his younger brother and sister from across the window, the same dangerous signals that emanated from his mother.
"Bang bang bang...!"
Just as he was secretly grieving, a dozen gunshots erupted continuously in the room.
"Puff puff puff..."
The gunshots only lasted for a moment before abruptly stopping.
"Drip drop..."
Warm blood flowed down Fujibayashi's neck, shoulders, arms, and fingers, dripping onto the ground.
"Uh... uh..."
Fujibayashi's eyes were wide open, numerous bloodshot veins spreading within them, his lips trembling.
He seemed to want to say something, but no sound came out.
In the room at this moment, Morino Kaede, standing at the door, held up her right arm. Her entire right arm had turned into a transparent, liquid state.
Three transparent, sharp tentacles shot out from her wrist, piercing through the throats of the three police officers respectively, holding their bodies suspended in mid-air.
In less than ten seconds, the three police officers suffocated to death.
"Bang..." x3
Morino Kaede retracted her transparent tentacles. The three corpses fell to the ground. Fujibayashi's body, in particular, fell directly onto the wooden table, his head tilted to the right, his face directly facing the window where Kai-chan was.
Outside the window, Kai-chan held his breath, his eyes wide as he watched the bloody scene in the room, and Fujibayashi's wide, unseeing eyes. Fear quickly filled his brain.
"Run, run, I need to run..."
Kai-chan's brain frantically sent out warnings. He held his breath, bent at the waist and knees, and quietly retreated.
Just like how he usually avoided wild beasts in the deep mountains, he lowered his breathing rate to the minimum, trying to integrate his presence with his surroundings, like the blowing wind or branches swaying in the breeze.
Kai-chan, like this, walked stealthily towards the forest, bent at the waist and hunched over.
He had to escape from here, escape from this home where he had lived for fifteen years.
"Brother."
Suddenly, a cold, childlike voice made him stop.
Kai-chan slowly turned his head towards the source of the sound, only to see a thin-clad ten-year-old boy standing at the door, his cold eyes staring straight at him.
"Brother, where are you going?"
The childlike, familiar, yet cold and unfamiliar voice made Kai-chan's heart tremble, unable to answer.
"Are you leaving us?" Naru spoke, taking a step forward and slowly approaching him. "Don't you want me anymore?"
"Don't you want Naru, Haisa, and Mom anymore?"
Kai-chan was terrified. With every step his younger brother Naru took, he retreated one step.
"What are you two?"
Kai-chan finally spoke, asking his "younger brother" Naru.
"Shhh..."
A faint, almost imperceptible sound reached Kai-chan's ears. He subtly glanced to his left from the corner of his eye, and the sight instantly sent a shiver down his spine.
He saw his younger sister, Haisa's, small figure slowly approaching him, hidden by the dense grass.
His eyes darted to the right. His mother, Morino Kaede, was also quietly approaching him from the side, subtly trying to encircle him.
"Brother, are you afraid of Naru?" His younger brother Naru's childlike voice was calm, carrying an icy chill that could freeze the soul. "Brother, join us."
Kai-chan clenched his hands, shaking his head.
"Don't worry."
"When you wake up, you won't feel anything different," Naru continued to approach. "Your thoughts, memories, habits, will all be yours."
"You'll still be you, exactly the same as before."
"No..." Kai-chan shook his head with a horrified expression. "No, you're not my family..."
"You are monsters!"
Kai-chan mustered his courage, roared, and suddenly turned around, dashing wildly towards the depths of the forest.
"Whoosh~"
Naru stood in place, watching Kai-chan's desperate fleeing back, and exhaled a chilling breath.
"Swish!"
Without him needing to signal, his mother, Morino Kaede, and younger sister Haisa, hidden in the grass, automatically pursued him.
"Whoosh~ snap!"
Kai-chan ran wildly. Due to his extreme speed, various leaves and branches in the forest constantly whipped his face along the way.
The scars from last night had not yet healed, and his face now had many new scars.
But now was not the time to worry about such things.
"Huff huff huff~"
Kai-chan gasped for breath continuously, his feet never stopping, and his mind dared not relax for an instant.
He glanced at both sides from the corner of his eye and saw two figures moving at incredible speed through the forest. To Kai-chan's horror, they were scrambling on all fours like wild beasts.
"Don't resist, Kai-chan."
A soft, familiar voice reached Kai-chan's ears as he desperately fled. He subconsciously turned his head towards the source of the sound.
"Roar~!"
The moment he turned his head, his mother, Morino Kaede's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, lunging at him with bared fangs and claws.
