The situation on the ground was very different from what Ben Mao had understood. According to the information he had received, several factions who had suffered previously were supposed to be seeking revenge on the human girl. But looking at the current scene…
Ben Mao, puzzled and slightly embarrassed, said, "Boss, I'm sorry, the information was wrong. I didn't expect there to be evolved beings trying to protect her."
"Is that so?" Miss Rabbit replied indifferently.
"Of course," Ben Mao said. "When that human girl was almost attacked just now, didn't an evolved being rush over to use his body to block the attack for her?"
"He slipped," Miss Rabbit said.
"Huh?!" Ben Mao was bewildered. Suddenly, he added, "Ah! Boss, look, just now when that evolved being was about to attack the human girl, that cat at the other end threw a knife at him, precise and deadly, and killed him instantly!"
"His hand slipped," Miss Rabbit said.
"That evolved being…"
"Tripped over a rock."
"That sheep…"
"The stick suddenly broke."
"That bear…"
"The ground suddenly collapsed."
"???" Ben Mao was utterly confused. "Boss, are you kidding me?! How can there be so many accidents?"
Miss Rabbit looked at the human girl in the center of the battle, who remained unharmed despite the chaos around her, and said calmly, "Of course there can be."
Ben Mao said nothing, but inwardly, he didn't believe it.
Although you are the boss, although you are unbelievably strong, do I look like an idiot?
However, he quickly discarded this thought.
Because he realized that the dozens of evolved beings still fighting in the chaos all had expressions of fear on their faces. This fear became especially pronounced when they looked at the human girl in the center.
Two groups of people fighting each other with terror-stricken faces?!
What's going on?!
Ben Mao suddenly recalled something strange he had noticed before but didn't pay much attention to: the number of spectators was too small!
Given the scale of the battle, which had involved hundreds of evolved beings, it should have scared away some and attracted a lot of others who wanted to watch or seize an opportunity. Yet, from the number of survivors and the bodies on the ground, it seemed he and the boss had arrived late, and the battle was almost over. Normally, there should have been many onlookers by now.
But the reality was that there were only a few spectators!
Why was that?
Ben Mao suddenly felt a chill and broke into a cold sweat.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly shouted from within the battle: "Everyone stop! I'll count to three, and everyone stop! If we all stop, she can't do anything to us!"
Ben Mao looked over and saw that the speaker was a brown bear with a wounded right eye. Both his appearance and body were very similar to his animal form, but at this stage, to be able to speak so fluently, he was almost certainly a Chosen One.
"That's right! Just like that!"
"Everyone stop!"
"Yes, stop together! If we all stop, her magic won't work on us!"
"Agreed! Let's all stop together!"
Voices echoed one after another, all of them from Chosen Ones.
With them taking the lead, soon, all the evolved beings urgently, joyfully, and fearfully agreed.
"Three!!!"
The brown bear who first suggested it started the countdown.
As soon as the word "three" was spoken, all the evolved beings stopped simultaneously.
Instantly, the atmosphere became even more oppressive than during the chaos of the fight. Only after a while, when nothing more happened, did the evolved beings slowly begin to relax, and the atmosphere eased slightly.
A dog-like evolved being let out a long sigh of relief. He swore that next time he encountered this human girl, he would run as far away as possible. Then, he tried to retract his outstretched right hand, which had been injured during the fight and happened to be in an outstretched state when they stopped. Now that he relaxed a bit, he felt his right arm ache and swell.
But at that moment, with a "crack," his right arm suddenly dislocated.
Immediately, his arm went limp, and along with it, the knife he was holding fell, slashing the shoulder of another evolved being.
"Ah!" The wounded being cried out in pain.
Before he could curse, the brown bear suddenly widened his eyes and roared angrily, "Nobody move!!!"
At his roar, all the evolved beings, including the Chosen Ones, dared not move an inch.
It wasn't that they feared the brown bear, but because everything that had happened earlier was too bizarre and terrifying. The overwhelming fear made them instinctively follow the brown bear's words.
After a while, the brown bear, panting heavily, said slowly and deeply, "Slowly, slowly back away, we're leaving."
All the evolved beings and Chosen Ones did as he said.
During this, none of them dared to look at the human girl again.
But then, something terrifying happened!
As soon as they moved, various accidents occurred, blood splattered once more, limbs flew, and three more evolved beings died from the accidents!
They couldn't move out!
They couldn't move!
Realizing this, the immense pressure bore down on every evolved being like a towering mountain!
No one dared to move.
"Gah gah…"
A strange birdcall echoed from above.
Suddenly, a long, rod-shaped stone fell from the sky!
Because no one in the field dared to move, it wasn't noticed and fell unhindered onto the head of an evolved being.
Boom!
Like a watermelon bursting, red and white brain matter splattered everywhere.
Dead on the spot!
No one moved, but accidents still happened.
Instantly, the atmosphere became deathly silent.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!" Surprisingly, the first to break down was the brown bear who had been leading the charge. Sometimes, the seemingly calmest individuals are the most fragile.
He suddenly turned to the human girl, eyes filled with murderous intent, and roared, "Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!!!"
Roaring, he charged at the girl.
The brown bear's actions severely provoked the other evolved beings, igniting a chain reaction like a falling domino.
"Fight her to the death!!!"
At that moment, all the evolved beings saw red and charged at the girl. However, to others, it seemed like they were heading to their doom.
Sure enough, it was all a replay of what had happened before.
As time passed, one by one, the evolved beings fell, all killed by their own kind. From beginning to end, they couldn't even touch the girl's clothes.
At this moment, the onlookers erupted into chaos!
Screams, exclamations, and discussions blended into an indistinct, buzzing noise!
Among them were decisive evolved beings who had already turned to leave.
If before, most of the spectators only felt that the situation was a bit strange, now they felt it was utterly bizarre! Extremely bizarre!
No wonder the number of spectators here was so small; they must have gradually fled upon realizing the strangeness of the situation.
Soon, the crowd dispersed in a flurry.
Those who stayed were either extremely greedy individuals blinded by the potential benefits from the corpses of the evolved beings or just Ben Mao and Miss Rabbit.
"Boss, boss, boss, what's going on?!!" Ben Mao asked in terror, subconsciously turning to Miss Rabbit. If he hadn't been dragged here by her today, he would have run away on the spot.
"This is a [Human Calamity]," Miss Rabbit said calmly, "[Unavoidable Disaster] caused by [Human Calamity]."
"Huh?!" Ben Mao was shocked by her words. The boss seemed to know the human girl. He was curious, but what happened next made his mind go blank, and he forgot about the girl completely.
Because Miss Rabbit suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
Ben Mao was instantly terrified and, once he realized what was happening, he began to cry and beg, "Boss, you can't do this! You can't burn your bridges! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and a childhood sweetheart waiting to marry me. You can't kill me, boss!!!"
Miss Rabbit glanced at him and said, "Shut up."
Then she swung her arm back, sending Ben Mao flying at an incredible speed like a shooting star. From far away, his voice faintly reached back: "Booooooss~~~~~~~"
At this moment, the human girl who had been silent suddenly spoke, her voice soft and delicate, giving the impression of being very shy. "…Why did you let her go, Bunny Sister?"
"Bunny Sister."
This form of address clearly indicated that she knew Miss Rabbit.
If one were to scrutinize the girl's words, they would discover something terrifying—when the other spectators left, she didn't stop them, but she used the term "let go" for Ben Mao's departure. In other words, from her perspective, no one except Ben Mao, who had been thrown out at high speed by Miss Rabbit, could escape.
"Don't call me by that name," Miss Rabbit said as she stepped into the battlefield.
"But the Master said that names are important…" the human girl said timidly.
"Is that so?" Miss Rabbit said indifferently. "Bunny, Fluffy, Little Wolf… from these names he gave, I don't see anything 'important' at all."
"The Master said that the meaning of a name is given by oneself."
"Sweet talker."
"Besides, the Master is terrible at naming…"
"But, Bunny Sister…" The girl turned to look in the direction where Ben Mao had flown, asking softly in her gentle voice, "Aren't you afraid you might have thrown her onto something and killed her?"
"That would be her fate," Miss Rabbit replied as she walked towards her.
By now, the chaotic fight among the evolved beings had come to an end.
The last one standing was the brown bear.
But he had completely lost his will to fight.
Logically, there was no one left to stop him from attacking the human girl, but he just sat on the ground dazedly, doing nothing, his face filled with despair.
As Miss Rabbit passed by him, the brown bear suddenly shuddered and fell silent.
The girl seemed to sense something, frowned slightly, and stepped back, putting some distance between herself and Miss Rabbit. Miss Rabbit did not pursue her, but stopped and looked at her, saying, "You still look as annoying as ever!"
Hearing this, the girl pouted, seemingly a bit aggrieved, but said nothing.
"Giving up all your characteristics and imitating him to this extent…" Miss Rabbit sighed lightly. "Don't you know that doing this offends others?"
The girl lowered her head. "…"
Miss Rabbit's words carried a rare hint of emotion: "That's why others don't like you."
At this moment, the human girl, or rather the being that resembled a human girl, finally mustered up the courage to raise her head, blushing as she argued, "The Master said that Little Yuan only needs to become what she wants to be!"
"Sigh…" Miss Rabbit sighed, looking at her for a while before suddenly saying, "Leave this place."
"Huh?!" The girl was confused. "Bunny Sister, what are you talking about?"
"I said, leave this place," Miss Rabbit repeated, suddenly showing a murderous intent.
Seeing this, the girl stepped back a few more steps. "The Master is here, how can Little Yuan leave?"
"You've seen him?!" Miss Rabbit frowned, then looked slightly relieved. "No wonder there are so few regressors near the residence; it was your doing?"
The girl replied timidly, "I saw him in a bookstore over a month ago, but the Master seemed a bit off, so Little Yuan didn't show herself, afraid her abilities might accidentally hurt the Master…"
"He was just not fully awake," Miss Rabbit said calmly.
The girl, realizing she couldn't convince Miss Rabbit, suddenly grew a pair of pure black wings on her back. With a gentle flap, she flew into the sky.
Miss Rabbit looked up at her. "You don't think flying will save you, do you?"
"Of course not," the girl shook her head, speaking seriously. "Although Little Yuan has never fought Bunny Sister, the Master said that only Bunny Sister's abilities have reached an unimaginable level among us. Bunny Sister, Little Yuan doesn't know why you want her to leave, but she can't. So, sorry!"
As she finished speaking, the girl spread her right palm towards the ground below, her five fingers slightly curved. Immediately, the buildings in the area began to tremble, accumulated dust falling off, and the glass groaning under the strain. Insects and ants hiding in the corners and crevices frantically scurried out!
The remaining evolved beings were terrified to discover that the ground beneath them was becoming unstable.
The earth…was shaking!
Deep underground, something was surging and roaring, as if it was about to break through the soil and devour everything above!
"Unavoidable Disaster—Natural Calamity!"
