Chapter 25

Seeing a group of civilians being intimidated by Fang Li's gun, not only the people involved but even the samurais of the Shikokawa family were taken aback.

"Fang... Mr. Fang?" Shikokawa Ayame was at a loss.

In Shikokawa Ayame's impression, Fang Li should be a very approachable, easy-going, and very friendly peer.

Therefore, Shikokawa Ayame never expected Fang Li to point a gun at a group of helpless civilians.

However, before Shikokawa Ayame could react, a middle-aged man dressed in rather luxurious clothing called out from the crowd.

"Who... who are you? What gives you the right to block our way?"

"Oh?" Fang Li immediately turned his gaze and, after sizing up the middle-aged man, said, "Then who are you?"

"I am a close confidant of the Shikokawa family head and the administrator of Senkin Station!" The middle-aged man raised his voice. "Even the samurais treat me with respect, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the administrator fell silent.

Because Fang Li had already raised his gun and pointed it at the administrator's head.

"I see, an official from Senkin Station?" Fang Li, as if nothing had happened, smiled at the administrator and said, "But what does that have to do with me?"

"You...?!" The administrator was instantly shocked.

Clearly, the administrator did not expect that this guy, who wasn't even a samurai, would still point a gun at him after revealing his identity.

Ignoring the administrator's shock, Fang Li looked straight at him and said, "I don't care who you are. This is a matter of life and death. Here, there are only living human beings, no distinctions of high or low, noble or humble. If you still want to rely on your status and enjoy privileges, then I can let you experience it sooner."

Saying this, Fang Li pressed the gun directly against the official's forehead.

"Enjoy a free trip to death."

Hearing this, the administrator, looking at Fang Li's harmless smile and feeling the gun barrel against his forehead, broke out in a cold sweat.

To be honest, it was a bit difficult for Fang Li to do such a thing.

Threatening someone with a gun, that's not something a regular student, or even most people, would have experienced.

But Fang Li had to do it.

After all, everyone here was equivalent to extra rewards for Fang Li, and the Kabane army could attack at any moment, ready to slaughter.

To prevent these people from wasting time on trivial matters and becoming a burden, Fang Li had to play the bad guy.

The first to stick out gets shot, and he believed that these people would be a bit more obedient after this.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened.

"Enough!"

With this shout, a person parted the crowd and stepped forward, staring directly at Fang Li.

"He already knows what to do, put down your gun, you're pointing it at the wrong person!"

The one speaking was a young boy.

A very peculiar young boy.

Why was this young boy so peculiar?

There were two reasons.

One: He was wearing a red cloak, his skin had a somewhat eerie color, and under the cloak, it seemed he wasn't wearing any other clothes, but some metal could be faintly seen, which drew people's attention.

Two: He was holding a strange weapon.

It was a kind of launcher that looked somewhat like a submachine gun, possibly modified from a rivet gun or a pile driver.

A peculiar young boy holding a peculiar weapon, appearing in this situation, naturally made everyone look at each other in surprise.

However, upon seeing this young boy, some people exclaimed in shock.

"Seikoma?!"

These people who called the young boy Seikoma seemed to be workers from a smelting factory, wearing work uniforms.

Clearly, they all knew the young boy.

In addition, Shikokawa Ayame, Kuchiki Rakusui, and Arakawa Kibito also reacted to the appearance of the young boy named Seikoma.

"It's you?" Shikokawa Ayame was surprised.

"Aren't you the blacksmith from the smelting factory who helped Lady Ayame repair the short barrel this morning?" Arakawa Kibito's expression was also full of surprise.

Kuchiki Rakusui, on the other hand, raised a steam gun and pointed it at the young boy named Seikoma, speaking coldly.

"You, why are you here?"

The atmosphere in the scene suddenly became tense.

Seikoma, facing Kuchiki Rakusui who was pointing a gun at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't I say it? You're pointing your guns at the wrong person!"

Kuchiki Rakusui didn't say much, just silently placed his finger on the trigger, his eyes filled with coldness.

The sudden development left the onlookers, who didn't know what was happening, completely stunned.

Only Fang Li, since Seikoma appeared, had not taken his eyes off him.

Looking at the young boy with peculiar skin and a stubborn expression, Fang Li silently said to himself.

(He's here? The protagonist of the original story...)

The young boy named Seikoma was indeed the protagonist of the original story.

An ordinary steam blacksmith living in Senkin Station, which specialized in the production of iron and steam engines.

At the same time, he was a passionate young man filled with a sense of justice, always hoping to defeat all the Kabane and one day earn the respect of the people.

On the surface, this young boy seemed to be just a dreamer, nothing special.

However, Fang Li knew that Seikoma had two special qualities.

One was the strange weapon he was holding.

It was a weapon that Seikoma and his friends had developed to defeat the Kabane—the Kanzume.

It was a weapon that could fire a special projectile called a jet bullet.

Using the principle that the shock wave from an explosion can produce a metal jet when it hits metal, creating enough force to penetrate the heart of a Kabane, it was a special weapon designed to defeat the Kabane.

The weapon in Seikoma's hand was exactly such an existence.

The second special quality was Seikoma's body.

A body like the girl in Fang Li's arms, who could easily kill the immortal Kabane without any regard for them.

Thus, in Fang Li's arms, the girl named Nameless slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Seikoma.
