Nina tried to run, but Sano caught her in an instant. With one hand, he clamped down on her wrist and slammed her back against the tree trunk.
In despair, Nina cried out to Little Bun in her mind, "Little Bun, are you selling counterfeit junk? Why can't your stuff even hurt him?"
[Host, all items in the system shop are genuine. It's likely because of his innate ability—your tranquilizer dart couldn't penetrate his defenses.] Little Bun explained.
"…Alright. Then what now? Even the gun won't work."
Nina felt a wave of anxiety. Think—think fast.
"Is there anything else in the shop that can immobilize him?"
[There is a Immobilization Talisman. If you stick it on him, he won't be able to move temporarily. Duration: 10 minutes.]
"Okay, I'll buy two—one as backup."
Ten minutes was ten minutes. At least it gave her a chance.
