The Crisis World XX

Chap. 30: Meet the Weird

With a series of explosions that suddenly occur make the Mall state panicked and immediately messy. The customers inside frantically tried to save themselves by running out as fast as they could.

While there were some people with fully dressed and armed instead entered without fear. Among them all, the front one has the appearance of white hair blurred with a jacket as well as black leather pants.

"Get out Subject C host! I know you're inside! Come out or I'll kill you!" shouting Ardenter.

Ardenter found out that the two targets were hiding in a dressing room inside this shirt outlet. Under the orders of Ardenter, other armed forces have also prepared and surrounded the dressing room.

"They both did not want to go out, Ardenter-sama," said one of the armed forces.

"Be quiet and be vigilant!"

"Good!"

Ardenter has confirmed that there are only two people inside. But he sensed some other aura that made him hesitate to act rashly directly attacking him.

The plan this time was to give them an ultimatum and if the two of them did not come out as well, the armed forces would directly fire at them.

While Herlin and Iraya who are currently still in the dressing room was not moving while being vigilant with all the circumstances that could occur at this time.

***

I who still do not understand the situation that is happening at this time can only wonder what happened, and the greatest possibility is that they want to take back Cecilia who is in my body.

I clasped my clothes tightly and determined that whatever happened Cecilia should not be taken back by them, because whatever happened must be a bad thing that will happen.

"Most likely so." Cecilia in my head confirmed my thoughts.

"How is this?" ask me in a whispering voice.

"For a while I will try to analyze the situation first. I don't know how they found us, but for now our priority is to run from them."

"Run? We're not fighting him? Aren't you very strong?"

"There's you behind me that makes me unable to move freely, after all this is still too fast for you to jump into a direct battle. Oh yes, Iraya."

"What's wrong?"

"If you can see my The Unseen, you should also be able to ascertain the number of enemies."

"Really? All right, I'll try."

I focused my aura on the eye area and tried to count the number of people who were behind the door of this dressing room.

At first I only saw one person, but after focusing even more deeply, I started to feel the others. The number of them all was seven people. Six of them were carrying firearms.

"There were seven of them, six of them with guns. What are you gonna do?"

"Seven people, huh?"

Outside the dressing room, the six people holding firearms were already in a position to fire. They just wait for the cue from their leader.

"Here is Subject C! And whoever is with you. If you don't come out on the count of three, I'll shoot you out of here!"

Although Ardenter has sent an ultimatum to Iraya and Herlin. But there was no reply from the two of them. Ardenter who was running out of patience then raised his right hand and started counting.

"One! Two!"

The six people behind him had also prepared to fire in the count of three. But before Ardern could finish her count, someone opened the door to the dressing room.

"Ti—!"

Kriyet...

The six people who were already in shooting position slightly lost their focus and were shocked because the person who came out was the one they had not expected. Herlin this time came out wearing a mouthpiece and his hoodie skull was on his head.

"You ...."

Ardenter stared intently at Herlin, but it did not affect him much. The other six people were ordinary people that Herlin did not need to worry about, and the real problem this time was Ardenter.

Silence filled the outlet of this shirt for a while. The tense and awkward atmosphere was felt in this clothing store. Ardenter also did not lower his hand indicating he was still wary of Herlin's movements.

Zwuush...

"??!!!"

Suddenly behind Herlin, someone came out of the dressing room and darted quickly away from Herlin and the others. But Ardenter who saw that did not stay silent and immediately changed his focus on Iraya.

"Shoot that guy!"

A barrage of bullets filled the outlet of this shirt. All the bullets were aimed at the same target, Iraya who was running away. But even though the bullet was already approaching his body, he did not budge and continued running without caring about it.

Because they have a plan to deal with it.

All the bullets stopped moving and fell silent in the air as if they were being held back by something invisible. The power of Herlin, her Mind Power.

"W-What?!"

"No way!"

"There's another exception here?!"

Such were some startled reactions they found out that Herlin was also an Exception. While Ardenter who already knew about it was still silently watching Herlin and also Iraya who continued to run away.

"I leave it to you, Herlin."

Herlin ignored him. He was too focused on the enemy in front of him. After holding all the bullets, Herlin then returned them and hit the six people. Luckily they all wore bulletproof vests so none of them were killed.

"Armhkgghh ...!!"

Ardenter had a slight glance at his men, but he did not care much about it because he knew they were all still alive. This time his focus was on Herlin alone.

"I finally found you, the Beast's controller."

"...."

"Nimis says you may have a relationship with Murasaki Oita, but if you've been dealing like this, there's no way I won't fight you."

Herlin was a little surprised when Ardenter said the name 'Murasaki Oita', but for now he preferred to keep quiet so that Ardenter would not get any information from him.

"Wouldn't answer, would you? All right then. I'll make you talk pak—?!!"

As Ardenter spoke and let his guard down, suddenly his left cheek was slashed by something he did not know its origin. He then held her cheek and saw blood pouring out of her wound.

"You ...!!"

A gray-colored aura exploded around Ardenter's body. He felt annoyed because he felt insulted by people who were not even recognized by him. That aura made his body become bigger and muscular, his nails also grew to become sharper.

While Herlin raised one eyebrow and commented on the power possessed by Ardenter.

"Just that?"

"A cocky boy!"

"??!!"

Ardenter shot out at high speed which made Herlin slightly widen his eyes. Lucky thanks to his quick reflexes, he was still able to dodge his attack.

The dressing room that he used to hide in was now destroyed and unrecognizable due to the Ardenter attack that did not happen about Herlin.

"A-Ardenter-sama has gone berserk, what should we do?" ask the Ardern's men.

"There's nothing we can do here, it's already an Ardenter-sama fight. Now our job is to find the Subject C host."

"Well."

While Ardenter now out of the ruins of the dressing room that he had destroyed. There were no wounds or scratches on his body, even his cheek that had been scratched was now healed.

"When I just wanted to catch you well, but now I'm changing my mind. The command not to kill the target is only for the Host Subject C. That means you're gonna die, boy!"

"Physical Strength, upper middle level. So he's from the company, huh? From earlier he was talking about 'host Subject C' which I don't understand" Herlin muttered.

The Ardenter shot back towards Herlin at high speed, but Herlin was still able to dodge it again. Their fight is now inevitable.

***

While I who was told to run by Herlin this time was heading towards the main door of the Mall. Actually it's not my style to leave a friend in distress, but I have to follow Herlin's word if I want to live. So how else.

I finally got to the door of the Mall, but things didn't go as planned. The front door of the Mall cannot be passed because it is covered by the ruins of this building.

"Dam. The door is impassable, am I using violence, huh?"

"Don't, stupid!" Suddenly Cecilia screamed inside my head until it made my ears almost deaf.

"Ce-Cecilia?"

"This building is almost about to collapse, if you insist on using violence you'll know what's going to happen, right?"

"Y-Yes, that's true, too."

He was right to tell me, but sometimes his sudden screams made me want to force it out of my head. I then went to the other door.

While heading to the back door of the Mall and passing through a food and soft drink outlet, suddenly there was a sight that caught my attention. A busy man looked at the drink window.

"She's a .. person, right?"

"Isn't it clear?" cecilia.

"I'll see to it, which fool is still casually shopping in the Mall that almost collapsed like this."

I approached him and asked him to get out of here. A grown man who looked confused did not pay attention to my existence.

"Oi! What are you doing here?! It's dangerous here!"

"I'm confused ...."

"Hn?!"

"... Better to drink at breakfast, milk with tea or milk with coffee?" ask the guy.

"Huh? But ... If I think it's better with coffee, anyway."

"so. Thank you, son."

"Same-sama—Eh? Waitaminute! That's not what I want to talk about! Get out of here before the Mall collapses! Hn?"

While I was talking to the man, suddenly the armed forces came after me and immediately pointed their weapons at the two of us.

"You two raise your hands! And you're the Host of Subject C! Quickly come with us or the person you're with will I shoot!"

They are just ordinary people who wear ordinary, of course I do not want to obey his orders. But this person beside me also did not raise his hand, was he looking to die?

He casually put his groceries into the trolley that he had brought from earlier. The gunmen then started shooting at the man because they did not need him.

"Shoot that guy!"

"Revelation!"

I tried to protect him from that shot. But the speed of the bullet and the long distance between me and the man kept me from holding the bullet.

"Relax, son. If it's this, I won't die."

"Eh?"

I saw something that surprised me. That person was holding a silvery-blue aura that protected the two of us from the shot earlier. Of course it surprised me to the point of screaming.

"You're an Exception?! And that shield? The owner of the Transformation ability?!"

"the exception? The transformation? I don't understand what you're saying, son."

This guy doesn't know about Exception and Transformation. It means he is a person who has the power without knowing the term.

"That-No way!"

"Two Unknown Exceptions around the Subject C host?!"

Let alone them, I was surprised to know that this man was an Exception. And also he held the bullet with his homemade shield. The Transformation speed he had seemed to be no joke.

"It seems you're not surprised to see this, but you're shocked that I have it. Is it possible that you also have strange powers like mine?"

"That's .. it just so happens."

"Then let's attack them. Because they attacked us first."

He means that the principle is not to attack before being attacked first, is that it? This man is so weird that I don't understand what he's thinking.

But in order to attack, I don't need his help. I then went ahead and did the horses.

I then focused on gathering the aura around my hand and formed a solid sword with a greenish tint. And the man looked at me with quite an astonished look.

"You're great, too, boy."

"Bo-chick? Yes, whatever, but when it comes to attacking them I don't need your help."

"really? Then fine."

I then concentrated, I should focus on finishing this in one strike. I gathered the aura on both my legs and saw electric sparks around my feet. After that I stared at the focus on the six people and immediately darted.

"T-Too fast!"

"Armghh ...!!"

I darted very fast and stopped behind them. Their weapons and vests were smashed to pieces by my attack, but none of them were killed. Although they were battered and his entire body blackened.

The man came up to me and gave me a round of applause.

"You're so great, son. But if only they can't seem to make this Mall collapse, huh?"

"Uncle's thoughts are sharp as well. Yeah, there's still one more person here and I was told to run away from him."

"Woo! I like that 'uncle' call. But are you sure, son?"

"What?"

"You left your friend, you know. Let's go back to helping him. You don't have to be afraid because there's a good uncle here."

"Th-that ...."

He seems to be right too. Although Herlin is strong, I am still worried. I promised Oita-san to protect her.

"... I think uncle's right too."

"Then come on!"

I also did not walk out of the Mall and instead returned to where Herlin was fighting. I didn't know if I was going to be nagged or not, but at least I was going to help her a little.
