This explanation sent a jolt through Yukino's heart.

Doctors and antibodies...

Is that so?

She suddenly understood why her power was effective against those monsters, while Gu Chuan could easily eliminate them at their source.

I also understood where his detached and otherworldly aura came from.

The distance between the two was infinitely shortened because of this shared, grand, and cruel secret.

"Then... will I die?" Yukino's voice was a little hoarse. She looked at Gu Chuan, and for the first time, a vulnerable emotion appeared in her icy blue eyes. "As..."

Antibodies… could we, like in the movies, be consumed by the virus in the fight?

She was asking themselves, but what she was truly worried about was the man in front of her who was a "doctor".

He was about to face an even more terrifying enemy.

Looking at the worry in her eyes, Gu Chuan felt a soft spot in his heart being gently touched.

Instead of answering directly, he reached out and, with remarkable ease, gently tucked a strand of hair, ruffled by the night breeze, behind her ear.

His fingertips inevitably brushed against her cool yet delicate earlobe.

"!"

Yukino's body shuddered violently, as if struck by an electric current. A tingling, itchy sensation spread from her ears throughout her entire body in an instant.

Her cheeks suddenly burned up again.

"meeting."

Gu Chuan withdrew his hand, giving a definite and cruel answer.

But then, looking into her eyes, which were misty with shyness and nervousness, he spoke in a tone that was both gentle and firm, unlike anything he had ever heard before:

0 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。

“But with me here, I won’t let that happen.”

This statement is more touching than any flowery language or any false promise.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him, and saw her own small, blushing figure clearly reflected in his deep, night-sky-like eyes.

She felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She had always presented herself as strong, independent, and perfect. But at this moment, all her pretense and coldness melted and shattered completely in front of this man.

She took a step forward, and they were now very close.

She raised her head, mustered the greatest courage of her life, and for the first time, her icy blue eyes met his gaze willingly and without hesitation.

“Gu Chuanjun,” her voice remained clear and cold, yet carried a tremor that she herself was unaware of, like a vow, “thank you for telling me all this.”

"I... will no longer be confused."

"If I am the antibody of this world, then from today onwards, I will fight not only for this world, but also for you, the only doctor."

Even if... I will die, I will do it willingly.

After saying this, she seemed to have used up all her strength, and two captivating blushes appeared on her fair cheeks.

She was no longer passively accepting protection, but actively giving everything she had to the man in front of her.

Gu Chuan looked at her quietly, at the determination and trust in her eyes.

He could feel a heavy weight, a weight of "responsibility" and "warmth," falling on his shoulders.

This feeling isn't bad.

He reached out, and this time, not to test or comfort, but firmly and gently, he grasped her slightly cool little hand.

"I remember."

he said softly.

"Let's go, my Miss Antibody."

"send you home."

Under the dim streetlights, on the silent street, amidst the watchful eyes of countless monsters, the boy and girl held hands tightly together.

Behind them, Fujiwara Chika, completely relegated to the background, blinked blankly.

"Huh? I feel like... the atmosphere is a bit strange."

60 The Invisible "Roommate" and the Sister's Hunt

Yukino's apartment isn't far from the school, only a ten-minute walk. However, this short distance felt exceptionally long tonight.

Gu Chuan's hand was warm and strong, and that reassuring power flowed continuously through his tightly clenched palm, gradually calming Yukino's heart, which was pounding wildly with fear and trembling.

But the ubiquitous, twisted, and terrifying figures on the street still sent chills down her spine. Some clung to telephone poles like rotting vines; others coiled on the walls of apartment buildings like eerie reliefs.

They greedily "stared" at Yukino and Fujiwara, and the malice that came from the depths of their souls still made her feel a bone-chilling cold, even with Gu Chuan by her side.

“Remember this rule,” Gu Chuan’s voice rang in her ear, interrupting her fear, “For these things, cognition is the key. As long as you don’t look at them, don’t think about them, and completely treat them as if they don’t exist, they cannot pose a direct threat to you. This is a game of willpower; your disregard is the strongest defense.”

The rules of this world are exactly the same as those in "The Invisible Girl." These spirits need to be "observed" in order to interfere with reality.

"I...I understand."

Yukino nodded, trying to focus her gaze ahead and no longer glancing at the dark corners.

Although his body was still stiff, "June 20" finally had a way to fight back.

Fujiwara Chika took this theory to an even more thorough level—she practically closed her eyes, draped herself over Gu Chuan's other arm, and muttered, "You can't see me, you can't see me," like an ostrich completely entrusting herself to Gu Chuan.

Finally, we arrived at Yukino's apartment building.

Standing downstairs, Yukino let go of Gu Chuan's hand. The warmth of his touch disappeared, leaving her feeling inexplicably empty.

She looked at Gu Chuan, then at Fujiwara who was still trembling beside her, and a look of worry reappeared on her face.

"Then you... and Qianhua..."

Gu Chuan saw through her thoughts and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

These two girls, who had just awakened their superpowers—one an ice queen and the other a chaotic clown—were terrified by a group of low-level spirits.

He deliberately teased in a relaxed tone, "What? Afraid of living alone? How about Chika and I stay at your place tonight? We can have an emergency tactical meeting then."

"Varied--!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face flushed red from her neck to her ears.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Who's scared?!"

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, she instantly bristled and retorted fiercely, "I don't have any extra blankets at home! And... and men and women shouldn't touch each other! You shameless man!"

Although she said that, her heart was pounding uncontrollably.

With him... and Chika, the three of them together...

The thought flashed through her mind for only a moment before making her cheeks burn so hot they felt like they were steaming.

That fear was replaced by a stronger emotion called shame and excitement.

"Just a joke."

Looking at her adorable, contradictory expression, Gu Chuan's smile deepened. "Alright, get some rest. Remember, they can't hurt you."

He ruffled the hair of Fujiwara Chika, who was still clinging to him, and said to Yukino, "I'll take the secretary back first."

“…Hmm.” Yukino lowered her head and responded in a voice only she could hear, then turned and ran into the apartment building as if fleeing.

Only after the elevator doors closed did she dare lean against the cold wall, covering her burning cheeks and her heart that felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

Gu Chuan watched her disappearing figure, shook his head helplessly, and then half-dragged, half-carried Fujiwara Chika, who was still muttering "The cutest and most beautiful girl in the universe, the secretary, would never be scared by a mere ghost," and walked towards her house.

Just as they turned a corner, a beautiful figure walked towards them.

She was a tall woman with long, light brown hair and a mature, alluring demeanor. She wore a sharp business suit and had a perfectly timed smile on her face that seemed to see right through people.

It was Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Hmm?" Yang Nai paused slightly as she looked at Gu Chuan walking from the direction of her sister's apartment, and the pink-haired girl next to him who was practically clinging to him and was clearly wearing the uniform of Shuchiin Academy. Her pretty eyebrows twitched with interest.

Her gaze fell on Gu Chuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This boy... is so special.

He lacked the immaturity or impetuosity of his peers; instead, he possessed a maturity and profundity beyond his years.

Those dark eyes were as calm as an ancient well, yet they seemed to reflect the stars, making even this seasoned "social queen" feel an indescribable pressure.

This feeling is familiar, as if I had a similar fleeting glimpse in some distant memory long ago.

"Good evening." Gu Chuan naturally recognized her as well.

He simply nodded calmly at the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, whether she was a future "enemy" or "ally," without intending to engage in further conversation.

As he walked, he used his "observation" perspective to "photograph" a huge, fleshy, tumor-like spirit that was perched on a street lamp behind Yang Nai, with an indescribable shape and covered in countless eyes.

Then, on a whim, he posted this "photo" full of Cthulhu style to the chat group of the [Cross-Dimensional Film Viewing Club].

[Observer]: (Photo.jpg)

[Observer]: The virus in my world seems to be quite different from the one in your world.

This photo, like a deep-sea bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly ignited the group chat.

[Gem Magician]: Ugh—! What, what the hell is this?! It's disgusting! It's even more nauseating than those corpses!

[March 7th]: Ugh! How scary! This thing looks so random! It looks like a bunch of random things just haphazardly put together!

【Alicia】: Oh dear~ What a chaotic and disordered form~ Mr. Observer's world seems to be a place where different worlds meet?

[Butterfly Dance]: This... it seems to have no fixed form, and it feels even more... incomprehensible than the demons under Lord Muzan's command.

【Ice Queen】: Interesting. It looks like a peaceful world, but is there such a crisis lurking in the shadows?

The discussion in the group was lively, but in reality, Yang Nai just smiled and watched Gu Chuan and Fujiwara Chika leave.

Only after their figures disappeared around the street corner did the smile on her face slowly fade, and she became thoughtful.

"They came out from the direction of Yukino's apartment, with another girl with them..."

She lightly tapped her chin with her finger, a dangerous glint flashing in her seemingly all-seeing eyes. "And that look... it's really interesting."

She changed her mind about going straight home and turned to walk towards her sister's apartment building.

The older sister's "hunt" has begun.

……

"Ding-dong-"

Yukino had just finished showering and was drying her wet hair with a towel when she stepped out of the bathroom when she heard the doorbell ring.

She was startled, instinctively thinking that Gu Chuan had returned, and a strange mix of anticipation and nervousness welled up inside her.

She walked quickly to the door and looked out through the peephole, only to see her sister's face with a perfect smile.

"Sister? Why is she here?"

Yukino felt a pang of panic, but she still opened the door.

"Good evening, my dear Yukino-chan~" Haruno walked in with a smile, carrying a cake box. "I was passing by and brought you your favorite cheesecake."

"...Thank you, sister." Yukino stepped aside to let her in, but alarm bells were ringing in her mind.

Knowing her sister as she did, she knew this seemingly casual, surprise attack was definitely not as simple as it appeared.

Yang Nai walked into the living room, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping around, yet like a high-precision radar, capturing any unusual trace.

Her gaze finally settled on Yukino.

"Yukino-chan looks... a little different today."

Yang Nai's tone was full of concern, but her eyes were sharp as knives. "Did something happy happen? Your cheeks are still a little red."

"It's nothing." Yukino subconsciously touched her cheek and answered calmly, "I just took a shower, I'm just a little hot."

"Really?" Yukino smiled and didn't press the matter further. She placed the cake on the table, then walked over very naturally and straightened Yukino's slightly disheveled collar on her school uniform shirt.
