Chapter 51

At this moment, the emotions that Unmei displayed were more evident than any other time before.

It was clear to see that the girl was staring intently at the opposite side, her eyes for the first time revealing a genuine sense of hostility.

Fangli knew exactly where that hostility came from.

If his own family were mocked by someone, he would probably react the same way as Unmei.

However, Unmei had no idea that the so-called "big brother" she spoke of was merely someone she unilaterally recognized as family.

Don't be fooled by Unmei's great strength; it doesn't mean that this girl is really that strong.

In fact, in this era, Unmei is also just a victim.

The people of this era have long been robbed of all hope by the monsters known as Kabane.

People only know to respond to the Kabane with fear, dread, and terror, making it impossible for them to see a future, almost living in a state of barely surviving.

Just look at the samurai in the Kigen Station.

Even these so-called samurai are filled with fear towards the Kabane.

This is not something that can be described simply as cowardice.

In an era where panic permeates everything, the order of human society is almost useless.

What good is the law?

If there is even the slightest possibility of being bitten by a Kabane and turning into one, others have a reason to kill you.

Just like Unmei and Seikoma, even if they wear out their lips trying to convince others that they are harmless, who would truly believe them?

No one wants the person next to them to suddenly pounce and bite them, draining their blood and taking their life.

So, what is truly terrifying is not the Kabane, but the fear in people's hearts.

Unmei is a victim of that fear.

When she was still human, the station where Unmei lived was also attacked and occupied by the Kabane.

At that time, Unmei was suspected by the samurai in the station of being bitten by a Kabane and was shot. However, due to her mother's protection, Unmei survived.

However, Unmei's mother died under the steam gun of the samurai.

Just as Unmei was about to be shot, the person who saved her was the so-called "big brother" she spoke of.

A man of considerable influence and deep scheming.

He saved the girl from the hands of the thugs.

He stripped the girl of her original name and gave her a meaningless title—Unmei.

He gathered people, prepared forces, and even studied the ecology and characteristics of the Kabane to achieve his goals.

He made Unmei voluntarily undergo surgery, injecting the Kabane virus into her body, turning her into a Kabane-ri.

Unmei becoming a Kabane-ri was just the result of an experiment.

The so-called "big brother" made Unmei start learning combat techniques from a young age, training her specifically to fight the Kabane.

In a sense, Unmei is the sharp claw cultivated by the so-called "big brother."

A claw used to tear apart the Kabane and fight them.

That is why Unmei is so obsessed with fighting the Kabane.

It is the meaning of life given to her.

For a girl on the brink of despair, this is like a lifeline.

Therefore, Unmei admires this person and calls him "big brother."

However, Unmei has no idea who this so-called "big brother" really is.

"Is the so-called truth often the most cruel?"

Fangli lifted his eyes and looked at Unmei, suddenly asking this question.

"How old are you?"

This unexpected question almost caught Unmei off guard.

Why would such a question come from the serious topic just now?

In this situation, Unmei subconsciously answered.

"12 years old."

"12 years old?" Fangli raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but look Unmei up and down.

Her height is probably not more than 160 centimeters.

Her body type is also on the petite side.

Her delicate face is full of childish innocence.

However, in terms of her figure, Unmei can already be compared to a 15 or 16-year-old girl.

Suddenly, Fangli was speechless.

"Is this figure only 12 years old? What about the elementary school students on Earth?"

However, if she is this age, it makes sense why Unmei shows such innocence and self-centeredness outside of combat.

In short, she is a brat.

Naturally...

"To expect such a brat to see through the true nature of an adult is indeed too difficult." Fangli sighed softly, speaking involuntarily.

"You still know nothing, and perhaps that is better."

"You..." Unmei was really angry.

Fangli's words were too tantalizing.

So, Unmei pulled out a sharp weapon from her chest.

It was a weapon called a kunai.

Holding the kunai, Unmei spun around and skillfully threw it with great force.

"Whoosh—!"

The sharp weapon instantly turned into an arrow, slicing through the air with a whistling sound, shooting towards Fangli at a speed comparable to a bullet.

If it were before he obtained his title, Fangli's reflexes would definitely not have been able to track the trajectory of the kunai.

However, at this moment, Fangli successfully caught the flying kunai.

But, Fangli did not dodge, remaining in place without moving an inch.

"Clang—!"

The sharp weapon grazed Fangli's cheek and firmly embedded itself in the wall beside his head.

Clearly, Fangli had already seen that the weapon was not really aimed at him.

On the opposite side, Unmei maintained her throwing posture, staring straight at Fangli. After a while, she said this.

"I hate you."

Leaving these words, Unmei turned around and walked out of the cave, leaped up, and jumped onto the treetops in the distance, moving forward like a nimble cat, gradually disappearing from Fangli's sight.

Seeing this, Fangli smiled helplessly, pulled out the kunai embedded in the wall beside his head, and held it in his hand.

Looking at the kunai that still retained some of the girl's body heat, Fangli muttered to himself.

"Did I say too much?"

After all, Unmei is just a victim.

A bit silly, a bit naive, but definitely not a bad person.

Of course, Unmei is not a bad person, but there are no good people around her.

For example, that so-called "big brother."

"Amabito Mima..."
