Bab 390: Flee

Darkness loomed over the office.

Countless shadow spikes emerged from its depths, all pointing towards the same target.

Zhao Xue.

She knew she had to flee quickly. She darted forward and easily broke through the locked door with her shoulder.

Ishida narrowed his eyes. "Looks like I was right."

He had witnessed the girl's little disappearing act. His first thought was that she turned invisible so that she would worm her way out undetected. However, there was a little voice in his head that whispered that she was up to something else.

The unsightly hole in the door proved that she had indeed been following them.

"How… gallant," he mocked, "But let's see how far your courage can get you."

The shadows on the floor snaked forward, heading in Zhao Xue's direction.

She could sense them before she saw them.
