Chapter 1043
There are still people who are blind to reason?!
But Cui Ming also knew that danger never chooses its time. Having dealt with aliens and monsters on the front lines for years, he understood all too well the horror of "Murphy's Law"—the more you try to avoid trouble, the more likely it is to happen. He subconsciously glanced around the amusement park, his eyes quickly scanning the crowd, vigilantly watching for any unusual movements. The rocket launcher parts hidden in his backpack's lining and the mini Gatling gun in his belt were like his "old buddies," always ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
If some foolish monster dared to cause trouble here and ruin Miyuki's rare good mood... Cui Ming's eyes instantly turned cold, his hand gripping the cotton candy tightened unconsciously, his knuckles turning slightly white. He silently vowed in his heart that no matter what kind of monster it was, no matter how strong it was, he would never let it go! He would immediately assemble his weapons and rush up at top speed to let that thing taste what it meant to be "torn to pieces"—not only destroying its body, but also completely shattering its consciousness, leaving it no chance to regenerate!
He wouldn't give the monster any chance to harm Miyuki. Before, on the battlefield, he was willing to fight to the death to protect his teammates and enemies; now, to safeguard Miyuki's hard-won smile, he would spare no effort. Even if it resulted in chaos at the amusement park, even if it meant facing countless troubles afterward, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment—who told that monster to be so blind as to run right into his line of fire?
"Cui, what's wrong?" Miyuki noticed that his expression was a little off. She was chewing on a marshmallow and looked up at him in confusion. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Cui Ming immediately snapped out of his daze, the coldness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle smile. He reached out to wipe the frost off Mei Xue's lips: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about whether to take you to ride the carousel first or the bumper cars first."
Upon hearing this, Miyuki's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately forgot her earlier doubts and excitedly said, "I want to ride the carousel first! I haven't ridden one in ages!"
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Cui Ming nodded with a smile, taking her hand and walking towards the carousel. But in the instant he turned around, he quickly glanced at the crowd behind him, a hint of vigilance still lurking deep in his eyes—he would still be fully prepared, even if he secretly hoped he would never need to use those weapons.
While Cui Ming and Mei Xue were having fun, Xin Cheng was almost in tears from fright.
He and his younger sister Mayumi were playing in a haunted house.
then
There's no after that
It was absolutely terrifying!
The new town is most afraid of ghosts!
Seeing her older brother like this, Mayumi was speechless.
A cold wind blew through the haunted house, and Shinjo was practically clinging to Mayumi's arm, his neck hunched like a frightened turtle, his steps trembling. Eerie cries and shadowy figures occasionally echoed through the dark passageway, each sound making him jump half a foot high, the hem of his clothes clutched in his hand almost soaked with sweat.
"Dude, you're exaggerating a bit, aren't you?" Mayumi rolled her eyes helplessly. She was the one who dragged Shinjo to the haunted house, but now she's the one "escorting" the coward. "It's just a fake ghost, why are you so scared?"
"Even fake ones are scary!" Xincheng's voice trembled, but he still tried to defend himself, "Not everyone is like Brother Cui Ming, who is fearless. Just imagine, if Brother Cui Ming came to a haunted house, the moment he walked in, his cold eyes would probably scare the staff dressed as ghosts to tears!"
Upon hearing this, Mayumi's eyes flashed with a sly glint. She suddenly lowered her voice and called out to Shinjo behind her, "Brother Choi Myung? What brings you to the haunted house?"
"Aaaaaah! Instructor—!" Shinjo was terrified and whirled around to hide, only to find nothing but emptiness behind him. He froze for a couple of seconds before realizing he'd been tricked, and angrily reached out to scratch Mayumi: "You little brat! You tricked me!" "Hahaha! Who told you to be so gullible!" Mayumi laughed and dodged him. The two siblings wrestled and played in the haunted house passageway, making even the eerie sound effects around them seem less frightening.
But just then, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, dust fell from the ceiling of the passageway, and the "ghost" props that had been hanging there swayed precariously. Shinjo instantly forgot his fear of ghosts and grabbed Mayumi: "What's going on? An earthquake?"
Meanwhile, at the amusement park, the carousel had just stopped when Miyuki smiled and said to Choi, "Choi, the wind felt so nice on my face when it was spinning." She was still clutching a half-eaten pink cotton candy in her hand, her face smeared with sugar frosting, but there was not a trace of coquettish timidity; her eyes revealed the unique calmness of Tekkaman.
But the ground tremors instantly shattered this ease. Cui, who had been holding Meixue's hand, tightened his grip, his gentle expression vanished, and his lips tightened into a cold, hard line. His eyes, which were usually warm, suddenly flashed with a scarlet light—not fear, but the murderous intent of someone utterly enraged.
Miyuki immediately straightened up, casually handing the cotton candy in her hand to a flustered tourist beside her. A faint blue light emanated from her fingertips, a sign that Tekkaman's energy was about to coalesce. She remained calm, looking at Cui, her voice steady: "Is it a monster?"
"Very good." Cui's voice was filled with a fierce grit, as he quietly reached for the mini Gatling gun hidden at his waist. "I just said not to come here if you don't know what's good for you, and here comes someone who's asking for it. If you dare to mess things up, today I'll make sure you're crushed to pieces!"
The surrounding tourists began screaming and running around, but Miyuki stood firmly beside Cui, her gaze sweeping across the area, ready to transform and fight at any moment. Unlike ordinary girls who panicked, Tekkaman's power left her with only the instinct to fight in the face of danger. She was just waiting for Cui's command to launch an attack immediately.
The ground continued to tremble, and screams echoed throughout the amusement park. Suddenly, the plaza not far away cracked open with a loud rumble, and a massive, dark brown horn burst forth from the ground, its tip still covered in dirt and pebbles. Its thick outline clearly belonged to a gigantic monster. The moment the horn emerged from the ground, several paving stones were blown off the surrounding area, causing nearby tourists to scatter in terror.
Cui Ming's eyes sharpened, and he immediately pulled out an emergency megaphone from his backpack, yelling at the chaotic crowd, "Everyone! Leave the amusement park! Head towards the east exit! Hurry! Don't crowd together!" His voice, carrying undeniable authority, resonated through the megaphone. Hearing the instructions, the previously panicked tourists gradually regained their composure and surged towards the east exit. (End of Chapter)
