Chen Xiao looked at the girl with the messy pigtails in front of him and rubbed his temples with a headache: "It's like this..."
He quickly explained the Takatori Formation and the Dark Bible, and Shirai Kuroko, after listening, put her hands on her hips and said: "Huh? You think you can fool me with this kind of chuunibyou talk? You pervert!"
"Hey, hey," Chen Xiao pointed to the still-drifting black fog outside the window, "what do you think that is?"
Kuroko scoffed, "It's just Academy City's projection technology! Tell me where you hid Onee-sama's coin!"
[Ding! An anomaly detected in the servant contract]
[Summoned creatures are being interfered with by a third party]
[Start the forced binding process]
Suddenly, the coin in Chen Xiao's hand and the disciplinary committee badge on Hei Zi's chest simultaneously lit up with blue light, and an electric current-like energy connected the two together.
"W-What's going on?!" Kuroko frantically patted the glowing badge. "What did you do to me, you pervert?!"
Chen Xiao was also stunned as the system interface unfolded before his eyes:
[Binding successful: Shirai Kuroko (Lv.5 Spatial Movement User)]
[Shared Capability: Instant Teleportation (Maximum Load Capacity 200kg)]
Current intimacy level: -100 (Extreme dislike)
Yang Nai gloated from the sidelines: "Wow, they're not even sparing little girls~"
"Shut up!" Chen Xiao and Hei Zi shouted in unison, then glared at each other.
Kuroko angrily tried to use her ability to leave, only to find that each teleportation took Chen Xiao with her. After several attempts, the two were standing on the roof of the train, the night wind whistling past.
“See?” Chen Xiao spread his hands, “Now we’re in the same boat.”
"Who wants to be tied to a pervert like you!" Hei Zi kicked at Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao easily dodged it.
[Ding! Intimacy level -5]
Current intimacy level: -105
Chen Xiao glanced at the system notification and suddenly grinned mischievously: "Since you hate me so much..." He deliberately leaned close to Hei Zi's ear, "If I were to kiss you, would our intimacy level plummet to rock bottom?"
"You dare!" Kuroko instantly took three steps back, her face flushed red. "I'm a member of the Disciplinary Committee! Believe me or not, I'll teleport you to the center of the Pacific Ocean!"
"Oh?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow. "(Li Hao) So you'll be going too~"
Kuroko stomped her feet in anger, her twin tails standing on end: "Aaaaaah! Onee-sama, help me!"
Just then, the maniacal laughter of the high-flying birds echoed from afar, and black mist condensed into a gigantic demonic face above the city. Chen Xiao's expression turned serious: "No time for fooling around."
Kuroko crossed his arms and sneered, "What does this have to do with me?"
"It's really none of your business," Chen Xiao shrugged, "but if that kind of monster gets into Academy City..."
Kuroko's pupils contracted: "You...you're threatening me?"
"How could that be~" Chen Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand, "I'm asking for help from the Disciplinary Committee member."
Kuroko stared at his hand for three seconds, then suddenly revealed a sly smile: "Alright~ But you have to undo this damn binding afterwards!"
[Ding! Intimacy +20 (Temporary cooperation achieved)]
Current intimacy level: -85
"Deal." Chen Xiao had barely finished speaking when he felt a tightening around his waist. Hei Zi had wrapped his arms around his waist, winking playfully, "Hold on tight, Mr. Pervert~"
Swish!
In a dizzying rush, the two found themselves a hundred meters in the air, directly below the churning core of the black mist. Kuroko's ponytail fluttered in the wind, her red eyes gleaming with excitement: "Disciplinary Committee member Shirai Kuroko, reporting for duty!"
Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile. This girl might say she didn't want to, but her actions certainly betrayed her. He quietly tightened his arm around Hei Zi's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "Pleasure working with you, my little disciplinary committee member~"
"Who, who's yours?!" Kuroko's ears turned bright red, and she almost let go of him and threw him down. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll let you freefall!"
[Ding! Intimacy level -10]
Current intimacy level: -95
Chen Xiao laughed loudly, pointing towards the black mist against the night wind: "—"
"Go clean up that pile of trash!" Kuroko shouted first, then vanished from the spot with him in an instant.
Chapter 51 Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi
The night was as dark as ink, and deep in the mountains of Chiba Prefecture, the branches and leaves of ancient trees rustled in the wind.
The black mist that the Takagami Formation had transformed into swiftly traversed the forest, emitting a chilling, sinister laugh.
"This guy runs pretty fast." Chen Xiao stood on the thick branches of the ancient tree.
"Hmph!" Shirai Kuroko suddenly appeared on a tree branch beside him, her twin tails swaying in the wind. "If you're scared, Mr. Pervert, it's not too late to back out now."
Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "I'm worried about your safety, Hei Zi!"
"Don't look down on me!" Hei Zi glared at him angrily, then his gaze locked onto the churning black mist below. "Watch this!"
With a whoosh, Hei Zi instantly appeared above the black mist, and as her skirt fluttered, dozens of towering trees were manipulated and moved.
"Spatial Teleportation - Tree Boundary Lockdown!"
At the crucial point where the trees pierced the black mist, a painful roar came from the black mist.
The mist churned violently, gradually coalescing into a terrifying humanoid figure over three meters tall, covered in purplish-black tentacles.
"You wretched little brat!" Veins bulged on Takatori Jin's twisted face as five tentacles attacked Kuroko- with astonishing speed.
Just as Kuroko was about to teleport away, he suddenly realized that his calculations were off—the thickest tentacle was already right in front of him!
"Oh no..." Kuroko's pupils shrank sharply as she watched the tentacle about to pierce through her shoulder.
At the critical moment, a dark shadow flashed past. Chen Xiao blocked her way with astonishing speed, the blade swirling in his right hand, his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception piercing through the line of death, drawing a chilling arc.
"Don't stand there in a daze, Disciplinary Committee member."
The tentacle snapped off instantly, and a foul-smelling black liquid gushed out.
Chen Xiao smoothly wrapped his left arm around Hei Zi's slender waist, bringing her down steadily to the ground. The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath, and Hei Zi could even smell the faint, sweet fragrance emanating from him.
[Ding! Intimacy +30]
Current intimacy level: -65
"Who, who asked you to meddle!" Hei Zi hurriedly broke free, a suspicious blush rising on his cheeks. "I can handle this myself!"
Chen Xiao was about to respond when his expression suddenly hardened: "Watch out behind you!"
Three tentacles shot out from the shadows. Before Hei Zi could react, Chen Xiao tackled her to the ground. The man's strong body completely enveloped her.
"This time it was a life-saving favor, you know," Chen Xiao said with a hint of teasing.
Hei Zi's heart skipped a beat. Looking closely at Chen Xiao's handsome profile, he momentarily forgot to refute.
[Ding! Intimacy +40]
Current intimacy level: -25
"Idiot! Get up!" Kuroko pushed him away, her face flushed, and hurriedly straightened her disheveled uniform.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Tallbirds launched a fierce attack, with dozens of tentacles raining down like a storm.
Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold, and his right hand conjured the Spear of Longinus from the Dark Bible, severing all the attacking tentacles.
“Cooperate with me,” he suddenly said.
Hei Zi paused for a moment, then understood: "Hmph, don't drag me down!"
The two stood back to back, with Kuroko using spatial teleportation to restrict Takanojo's movements, while Chen Xiao seized every opening to launch an attack. Their perfect teamwork made it seem as if they had been fighting side by side for years.
"left!"
"understand!"
"Watch your feet!"
"Know it!"
[Ding! Intimacy +20]
Current intimacy level: -5
The battle lasted about ten minutes, and most of the tentacles of the Takabird Formation had been severed.
"Damn it, who are you people?!" Takatori shouted.
"Is it over?" Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's not over yet."
He walked up to the Tall Bird Formation, his dark pupils suddenly transforming into the Eye of Absolute Obedience (capable of forcibly commanding any target with lower intelligence than himself), and his icy voice carried an unyielding tone: "Tell me, who is 'Brack' behind you?"
Takatori struggled, but under the suppression of the Eye of Absolute Obedience, his will completely collapsed: "Lord Black... is a member of the God and Demon City Organization... He granted me the power of the Mountain God... allowing me to collect the desires of women..."
Hei Zi frowned deeply upon hearing this: "Such a disgusting organization actually exists? Chen Xiao, who exactly have you messed with?"
Chen Xiao shrugged: "It wasn't me who provoked them, it was them who provoked me."
Takatori suddenly burst into wild laughter: "You... have no idea what you're fighting against! Lord Black's power... far exceeds your imagination!"
"I'll deliver the final blow!" Kuroko grunted dismissively.
Just as Kuroko was preparing for the final blow, a sudden change occurred!
"You... all have to die!" Takatori Jin suddenly tore open his chest, pulled out a black medicine bottle, and drank it all in one gulp.
His body instantly swelled and deformed, blood-red runes appeared on his skin, and his power increased several times over!
"Watch out!" Chen Xiao pulled Hei Zi away as three tentacles, as thick as buckets, whistled past, brushing against her hair.
Hei Zi stared in shock at Chen Xiao, who was standing close by, and noticed a deep cut on his arm, with blood dripping down his arm.
"You're injured..." Kuroko's voice softened involuntarily.
"It's just a minor injury." Chen Xiao smiled dismissively. "I'm more curious about what he drank."
Takatori's body had swelled to over five meters tall, letting out an inhuman roar: "The power bestowed by Lord Black... Feel despair!"
The thickest tentacle struck Kuroko with lightning speed, too fast for her to react. Just as the tentacle was only ten centimeters from her chest—
