With a thump, the human-shaped statue shook.
A slender dark shadow charged directly, like a nimble cheetah, its twisted claws emerged from the dark fog and swung downward.
Bang!
The shadow immediately flew out, smashing the decently crafted statue to shards as Casio's right foot blurred for a moment.
It rolled on the ground several times, then stood up as if nothing had happened. It quickly rebounded off corners of the room at high speed, resembling a refracting black shadow.
Whoosh.
"Be careful!"
Dr. Tommy, who was at the door, couldn't help raising an alarm.
Behind Casio, a dark shadow sprung up from the ground suddenly, charging forward like a spring.
With a thud, it landed on Casio's back.
Its arms spread out immediately, hugging Casio tightly. It seemed to rest what might be its head on his shoulder, nestling close to his pale neck.
"This..."
Olay, the branch manager, looked at the old steward, Franz, on his side.
