The King of Black Fog

The players who survived long enough to participate in the all-hands event aren't fools. When Li Changzhou arrived at the scene, he only saw a black taxi rolled over, emitting black smoke.

"Gone?" Chisato peeked out from behind him, looking around.

"There's no wind, the smoke rises high. In this hunting game, who would stay in one place, waiting to be hunted by other players?" CC walked up elegantly from behind.

Li Changzhou turned back and said to CC, "Good idea!"

Boom!

The taxi suddenly exploded, red flames mixed with black smoke, like a vividly colored oil painting.

Li Changzhou didn't look back, continuing, "Waiting isn't good, but it depends on the situation."

He took out a gun, pointed at the two, and said, "One of you, change your outfit. You escape, I'll chase."

"I know this game!" Chisato said excitedly, "If you catch me, you'll drag me into the women's restroom to watch you poop!"

"Change clothes?" CC thought for a moment. "I'll do it."

She didn't even look, or rather, she had already seen, and headed directly toward a women's clothing boutique.

"Your hair," Li Changzhou reminded her.

"Is it necessary? Only humans on Earth can recognize me."

Li Changzhou thought for a moment, and found her reasoning sound. He seemed attentive to details but was actually superficial.

No wonder she's a witch who's lived for thousands of years.

Wait, was it hundreds of years? Or just decades?

"Hey—" Chisato waved a hand in front of him, "Stop staring at the girl's butt!"

Bang!

A bullet grazed Chisato's neck. Not just the bullet, but that snow-white delicate skin seemed as if it could be snapped with a hand.

Chisato, who almost got her neck broken, smiled, "Angry out of shame?"

"What do you think?"

Bang!

Chisato sidestepped, letting the bullet fly past her chest.

"A duel between gunslingers?" Chisato's playful expression had a hint of seriousness.

"Uncomfortable seeing me dodge bullets, are you?"

"Wrong! All wrong! It's not seeing you, it's seeing players; it's not uncomfortable, it's full of curiosity, and just a tiiiiiiny bit of competitiveness, really just a tiny bit. Big sis Chisato doesn't lie to kids."

Bang!

Half of Chisato's body exploded, blood and flesh like the confetti of a party popper, gushing out from her petite body.

Li Changzhou turned to look, a figure disappeared on the distant rooftop.

A black hand descended from the sky, picking up a building with ease like a block of wood, then placing it in front of Li Changzhou as if it were a game piece.

The black hand switched from picking to pressing.

Rumble!

The building magically vanished layer by layer on the road, and when it stopped, the 50-story rooftop balcony was level with the ground.

"CC..." Li Changzhou just wanted to have CC take care of Chisato, but noticed that this green-haired girl was still changing clothes.

Faced with the relocation of a building, the unknown sniper, though somewhat shocked, didn't hesitate in his actions.

He carried a sniper rifle and quickly disappeared around the street corner.

Chisato suddenly sat up, gasping as if challenging a Guinness record for breath-holding.

"I, cough cough, I thought I died, huh? So it was you who got hit?"

Li Changzhou glanced at his empty right arm, rising from a half-squat and said, "Useless thing. If you weren't my first character, I'd let you go right now."

"Wow! CC, come see, a true tsundere! Eh? Where's CC?"

CC was still changing clothes.

No need to doubt being quietly taken away by a player in the fitting room, as she moved around the store, occasionally trying outfits in front of the mirror.

"Help me up," Chisato reached out,

Li Changzhou pulled her up with his left hand: "I gave you the Parasitic Beast, now you can..."

"Don't talk about that, let's go get revenge first." Chisato held a gun in her right hand and pulled out something resembling a grip strength trainer from her backpack with her left.

"A deadly weapon?"

"Cherish life~" Chisato flashed a big smile, "I want to catch him, give him a few punches, and break his nose!"

"Kindness of a woman."

"I do have a feminine charm, come on, chase!"

"C..." Li Changzhou shifted his gaze from the clothing store, "Forget it, let her be. Anyway, she won't die tagging along, staying here might bring unexpected trouble."

"Wow, I really enjoy this contrast, didn't expect you're not just a pervert, tsundere, but would also have such a contrast!"

As Li Changzhou said 'forget it', the two had already dashed out and were moving along the street.

Ahead in the sky, a giant black hand descended, removing one building after another in front of them.

"Can't you just pick up the enemy and place it in front of us?" Chisato asked while running, "Or take us directly to the enemy, that works too!"

"You're the café's poster girl, would you serve customers a new product you haven't tasted?"

"What? You mean you have to taste us before delivering us to the enemy?"

"What I mean is—"

Right in front of them, a high-rise moved aside, just as they ran between the buildings, a 711 truck came crashing towards them, the horn and screeching brakes felt like a concrete wall previously crushing them.

Chisato's pupils slightly widened.

The horn and screech brakes vanished, as the black hand placed the truck on another street's main road.

The speeding truck was picked up without any harm, like a toy car in a child's hand.

"—anything requires some getting used to, even babies must learn not to soil themselves with your favorite poop."

Chisato quickly kept pace with Li Changzhou, who hadn't stopped at all: "I love poop, I've even served it to customers, and they all liked it."

"Japanese being perverts is normal."

"... Not entirely normal." Her confidence visibly faltered.
