Chapter 63

On the rooftop, everyone except Miyamoto Rei had already gathered in front of Lin Yifan.

Miyamoto Rei, who had not interacted with Lin Yifan, had no idea what they were talking about.

Lin Yifan shook the handcuffs in his hand and scanned the five people in front of him.

The naturally dazed Kurakawa Shizuka, the tomboy Minami Kaori, the poisonous Toudou Sae, and the tsundere Saya, and finally, Hirano, who was still not fully aware of the situation.

"Who wants to go first? If you remember your past, do you still want to stay here and endure the endless cycle?"

Lin Yifan, with a serious expression, was asking for their opinions. If they did not want to become prison guards, they would eventually escape back to this world.

Lin Yifan did not intend to force them, to lock them up. Whether they wanted to follow or stay was their choice.

Minami Kaori took a deep breath, her chest pushing against the bulletproof vest. With a determined look, she extended her hand: "I'll go with you, but I want to bring this dazed little Shizuka."

"Sure, I'd even be grateful. Kurakawa... no, Shizuka, do you want to come with me?" Lin Yifan called out Kurakawa Shizuka's name directly.

At the sound of "Shizuka," the dazed little face showed surprise, then happiness, and she smiled and nodded: "Yes! I'll go with Kaori. I don't know where we're going, but it sounds exciting."

The originally serious group was suddenly choked by saliva, coughing uncontrollably.

"Alright, Kaori and Shizuka will go first."

Lin Yifan handcuffed Minami Kaori. In the astonished gaze of the others, Minami Kaori turned into a flurry of stars and disappeared from this world.

Kurakawa Shizuka waved at the stars, her chest heaving: "Hey! Kaori, don't go too fast, wait for me!"

After waving at the stars, Kurakawa Shizuka eagerly approached Lin Yifan, her chest pressing against him with a battleship-like force, making it hard for Lin Yifan to breathe.

"Lin-kun, hurry up!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lin Yifan handcuffed her. The dazed Shizuka watched her body gradually fade, excitedly touching and rubbing it, before finally disappearing as a blue dot.

After witnessing Lin Yifan's "magic" of making people disappear, Miyamoto Rei's worldview was completely shattered. She watched as Lin Yifan and the group talked mysteriously and then started playing "magic"!

"Hirano, it's your turn."

"Hai!" Hirano excitedly approached. After learning from Saya that Lin Yifan had not betrayed him, Hirano was even more obedient and somewhat grateful.

As a weakling who had always been bullied at school, these few days with Lin Yifan had been incredibly satisfying. Not only did he get to shoot guns, but he also beat up that delinquent blonde and eventually killed him.

He had once cursed this world, and now, his wish had come true.

After taking Hirano away, Lin Yifan turned to Saya.

When Lin Yifan's gaze fell on her, Saya instinctively took a few steps back, both hopeful and afraid, unsure of what the world they were about to enter would be like.

"I... I don't want to go with you. I just..."

Lin Yifan did not have the patience to wait for the tsundere to finish her sentence and took her hand.

With a red face, Saya watched as Lin Yifan handcuffed her and took her away.

Dealing with a tsundere, who wants to go but pretends not to, is easier if you just handcuff them and take them away.

Finally... it was Toudou Sae's turn.

Toudou Sae, holding the Muramasa blade, had not said a word since the handcuffing began, showing no indication of wanting to leave with Lin Yifan.

A bit worried, Lin Yifan was afraid he might not be able to handle Toudou Sae.

However, when he approached, Toudou Sae's first words were: "Can you spar with me every day over there?"

Lin Yifan's heart skipped a beat. Toudou Sae was really addicted to fighting with him.

Seeing Lin Yifan's silence, Toudou Sae spoke again: "You haven't kept our promise. You haven't defeated me yet. So! Will you spar with me every day?"

Toudou Sae's expression remained unchanged, but her words carried a subtle, ambiguous tone, a request from a traditional Japanese female samurai.

Slightly stunned, Lin Yifan extended his right hand and smiled brightly: "Of course, I also want you to teach me swordsmanship."

A faint blush appeared on Toudou Sae's face as she tiptoed and kissed Lin Yifan's lips, whispering: "See you there."

Handcuffing Toudou Sae, she leaned in, her semi-transparent body pressing against Lin Yifan, gradually fading away.

Now, all five had been taken away, leaving only Lin Yifan and Miyamoto Rei, whose worldview was completely shattered.

Magic? A portal?

Miyamoto Rei's brain could not process the scene in front of her.

Hanging the handcuffs on his belt, Lin Yifan stretched and ignored Miyamoto Rei. All he needed to do now was catch one more zombie and he could leave.

Looking at the distant burning buildings, gunshots, and screams, it all blended into a symphony of the apocalypse.

In summary, the appearance of the Self-Defense Forces had prevented everything from collapsing too quickly, but their ammunition was not infinite. The Self-Defense Forces, scattered across various locations, were fighting independently. Unless they regrouped, they would soon disappear.

Leaning against the railing, Lin Yifan shook his head and sneered: "I'm almost leaving, why should I care about this? Oh right, where's that guy, Eiichiro Miyagi?"

A bit puzzled, he wondered why that guy was not around.

Mentioning Eiichiro, Miyamoto Rei screamed and ran back.

Curious, Lin Yifan followed her into the storage room.

"Ei!"

From inside the storage room, Miyamoto Rei's sobs could be heard. Lin Yifan climbed over the debris blocking the door and saw the silver-haired boy lying in the corner, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, coughing occasionally.

No bite marks on his arm?

At first, Lin Yifan was confused, but when he saw the scratch marks on Eiichiro's hand, he understood.

No wonder the guy had lasted this long; it was just a scratch, not a bite. However, even so, Eiichiro would still eventually turn into a zombie.

"Cough... cough... Kill... kill me, please, kill... me. I... I don't want to become that pitiful monster, that walking dead, that... cough... cough..."

Eiichiro shouted desperately, wrinkles appearing on his handsome face, his eyes darkening.

"No! Ei is special, Ei is different from others, he won't die, he won't turn into a zombie!" Miyamoto Rei sobbed, clinging to Eiichiro.

Leaning against the wall, Lin Yifan crossed his arms, shaking his head in frustration. Although Eiichiro's words were touching, it was... a display of affection.

However, seeing that Eiichiro was still rational, Lin Yifan suddenly wanted to help him end his suffering.

Kicking Miyamoto Rei with his foot, he tossed the M1911 pistol to her: "It's time to go."

"Get away!" Miyamoto Rei swatted the pistol away, turning back to Eiichiro, unable to stop crying.

Seeing his kindness go unrewarded, Lin Yifan was not the type to force himself on others. If Miyamoto Rei wanted to stay and die, then so be it.

Turning to leave, Lin Yifan was thoroughly disappointed in Miyamoto Rei and was glad he had gone to Toudou Sae first instead of her.

Just as he was about to step out of the storage room, Eiichiro suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, convulsing in pain, unable to speak, his mind already clouded.

"Kill... me... me..."

Suddenly, Eiichiro seemed to be electrocuted.

"Ugh!"

His head, which had been hanging, suddenly lifted. Eiichiro's eyes dilated, black blood tears streaming down his face.

"Ha... ah!"

The low moan of a zombie.

Eiichiro's fingers twitched several times, his lifeless face turning toward Miyamoto Rei.

"Ei..."

"Roar!"

With a roar, the now-zombified Eiichiro pounced on her.

"No! Ei, no, you won't become a zombie! No!" Miyamoto Rei screamed, the zombified Eiichiro now a bloodthirsty creature on top of her.

Eiichiro's mouth opened and closed, his teeth clacking, becoming increasingly agitated, desperate to tear a piece of flesh from Miyamoto Rei's face.

Lin Yifan watched the scene with interest, waving the pistol: "Need help? Miss Zombie-in-training?"

"Quick, help me pull Ei away! Quick, he's just sick, he'll get better, believe me!!"

Miyamoto Rei shouted desperately.

"Oh, never mind then." Putting the pistol away, Lin Yifan was not particularly moved. If Miyamoto Rei died, she would revive in the next cycle, without these painful memories, like a goldfish in a fishbowl.

Seeing her only savior walk out of the storage room, and the zombified Eiichiro's blood-soaked mouth approaching, Miyamoto Rei, unable to bear the fear, screamed with all her might: "Save me!"
