“Six-legged demon?” Kamimoto Kakei was a little confused when she heard this term.
“That’s right, they’re called six-legged demons. Because they have six legs and like to suck people’s brains,” Bai Qing said calmly, but she didn't tell Kamimoto Kakei the original origin of these monsters.
Various information about the six-legged demon flashed through her mind, and Bai Qing tried hard to find a way to deal with it.
The six-legged demon crawled on the ground like a centipede, its two strange heads dripping with disgusting liquid as if they had been soaked in sulfuric acid.
It made a hoh-hoh laughing sound, and gradually approached Kamimoto Kakei along with the mist.
“Then what should we do now?” Kamimoto Kakei looked at the approaching six-legged demon, and only felt her calves trembling and somewhat disobedient.
She had never seen such a strange creature since she was born, and the sensory oppression made her extremely suffocated.
“Bai, didn’t you say you were a Rui beast? You should have a way,” Kamimoto Kakei forced herself not to look at the twisted monster, and looked down at Bai Qing in her arms pitifully and asked. Her only hope now lies in this Rui beast in her arms.
“There is a way, don’t panic. The six-legged demon is not very fast, and it has obvious weaknesses.”
Bai Qing observed the movements of the six-legged demon until the crawling sequence of the six legs of the six-legged demon was the same as it knew. Bai Qing was able to determine that the opponent was the monster in her mind.
Since it was a monster she knew, the fear of the unknown would fade away.
The reason why humans fear the darkness and panic in the deep sea is all because of the unknown.
It looked at the six-legged demon and sternly reprimanded Kamimoto Kakei: “Don’t be afraid! Face it!”
“This six-legged demon is just a little monster, they are not scary.”
“But…” Kamimoto Kakei raised her head with difficulty after hearing Bai Qing’s words. She really wanted to face the monster, but she felt that she couldn’t do it.
It was like a nightmare she had as a child, full of screams, wails, and厮杀, which made her terrified.
“Six-legged demons like to feed on fear. The more afraid you are of them, the more they will try to eat you,” Bai Qing’s voice came. “If you want to become a shrine maiden, then you must face all kinds of monsters. How can you become a shrine maiden if you don’t dare to face even a six-legged demon?”
“I, I can do it.” Kamimoto Kakei gritted her teeth, trying to face the six-legged demon as much as possible.
“Very good, observe the appearance of this six-legged demon yourself. When I tell you to run later, take big steps and run.” Bai Qing said approvingly.
Kamimoto Kakei listened to Bai Qing’s guidance, widened her eyes and carefully looked at the six-legged demon. Only at this moment did she see clearly what the six-legged demon really looked like. There was still a little fear left in her heart, but her originally trembling legs gradually calmed down at this moment, and even the terrifying sense of oppression was fading away little by little.
“When you can’t escape fear, the best way is to face fear. And when you overcome the fear and timidity in your heart, your soul will also grow as a result.” Bai Qing climbed onto Kamimoto Kakei’s shoulder and said meaningfully.
“Now, listen to me, run backwards!”
With Bai Qing’s order, Kamimoto Kakei ran away behind her without hesitation.
“Now listen to me! The six-legged demon moves very slowly! But they are very strong! They can also trap ordinary people with mist, making it impossible for ordinary people to escape. This kind of monster has a keen sense of smell, and they can lock the position of the opponent through their breath.”
“But it doesn’t matter, now if you listen to my guidance and run away, you won’t be trapped.”
“Go left!”
“Although the six-legged demon looks terrifying, it has obvious weaknesses. It moves slowly and cannot attack from behind.”
“Go right!”
“As long as you can keep circling behind it, it won’t be able to do anything to you!”
Several streets were left behind by Kamimoto Kakei. Even though the visibility in the dark night was severely limited, she still managed to dash through several streets under Bai Qing's command.
“Huff…”
Kamimoto Kakei gasped for breath, she felt her lungs ache as if they were burning with fire. Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain from her lungs and legs, the instinct to survive allowed her to break through her potential.
“Go right, we’re almost to the new city. There should be a guard patrol there, and they can deal with this kind of monster very easily.”
Stepping on several puddles of mud, the brightly lit new city in the distance was faintly visible from the narrow alley.
A bit of joy and relaxation arose in her heart, and Kamimoto Kakei tried to run faster.
It was just that the mist that floated from nowhere enveloped the street. Along with the hoh-hoh strange sound, a deformed body slowly crawled from the entrance of the new city.
“What the hell! Why is there another one?” Bai Qing cursed angrily, then she seemed to think of something and sighed deeply.
“Heh heh, what am I still fantasizing about? Knowing that this is the Overseas Country, they can do things like dumping nuclear waste water, and it’s only right that they don’t treat the people like human beings.”
Bai Qing felt that she had miscalculated. She originally thought that as long as she could get close to the new city, the noise caused by the six-legged demon would be enough to attract the surrounding patrolling guards, and the safety of the two people could be guaranteed at that time.
But she may have been thinking too much. The ordinary people of the Overseas Country have never been regarded as human beings by their chaebols from beginning to end. And the appearance of this second six-legged demon just happens to prove that their appearance is no accident. Someone deliberately threw them into the old city, trying to do some experiments.
“Bai, now, what do we do now?” Kamimoto Kakei gasped for breath and looked at Bai Qing on her shoulder blankly.
The six-legged demon standing at the intersection crawled towards the two of them, and a mouth with sharp teeth cracked open on its ferocious face.
“Hoh-hoh.”
“There’s no way, we can only fight it.” Bai Qing said seriously. “If we fight, there is still hope, surrender is death.”
“…, I, can I do it?” Kamimoto Kakei said timidly.
“I am the son of Bai Ze, you can’t go wrong listening to me. Now pick up the garbage lids around you, they can become your life-saving protectors.”
“Prepare to fight!”
Bai Qing jumped down from Kamimoto Kakei's body and looked up at the approaching six-legged demon.
