Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 778: Chapter 776 Hard to Refuse_1 Chapter 778: Chapter 776 Hard to Refuse_1 “Sorry, but I have absolutely no interest in you now.”

“Seeing your face only makes me want to vomit.”

Brother Takagi’s passionate and emotional confession was moving, but in an instant, he suffered a double blow.

Although it as Kagetsu Kana who was the injured party, her condition seemed much better by comparison; she mocked while laughing with a noble and cold beauty.

“You are lying to yourself, aren’t you? You felt it, didn’t you? What I just showed you…”

Takagi seemed completely unable to accept this, yet the color of obsession on his face didn’t fade in the slightest.

“They only treat you like a toy, including this Mr. Darcy.”

Fu Qian, who chose to stand at the stairwell to watch the drama unfold, turned out to be the first person Takagi noticed.

“They will only hurt you, they have never appreciated your charm, only I… I will save you, no, it is you who will save yourself… I am just your most loyal tool, the only tool… just needing a bit of your consolation…”

As Takagi poured out his feelings, his logic clearly began to take flight.

“If you like that hand so much, you may as well keep it.”

At this point, Kisaragi Chie had already recovered from shock and began to help Kagetsu Kana untie the ropes binding her.

It was clear that Takagi had tied them very tightly, and she was struggling quite a bit.

Kagetsu Kana didn’t even glance at this, continuing to deliver blow after blow to Brother Takagi.

“Just disappear from my sight from now on.”

“No… That’s impossible… We are already inseparable…”

Takagi’s voice was becoming increasingly ethereal.

“Inseparable—”

The next moment he suddenly sprang up, making a shocking move.

His mouth opened grotesquely wide, and Kagetsu Kana’s severed hand, already losing its luster, was actually stuffed straight into his mouth, and he chewed vigorously trying to swallow it down.

From the expression on Takagi’s face, it was clear that swallowing was painful, yet he did not hesitate at all, using both hands and mouth, determinedly pushing it further down.

What has become of people nowadays…

It was clear to see that Suzune Sawachi, who was closest, was deeply shocked, to the point of even forgetting to step forward and stop him.

You couldn’t really blame her; she had seen a little too much of the cannibalistic kind lately.

And by the time Suzune Sawachi came to her senses, Takagi had already forcibly swallowed the severed hand into his throat, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, his body convulsing.

Considering she was obviously not a medical expert, witnessing this scene left Suzune Sawachi somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Heh, heh…

Takagi, now fallen to the ground, could no longer speak, but his eyes were still fixed on Kagetsu Kana, until he slowly stopped struggling, even with a hint of a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Mr. Darcy, thank you for coming to rescue me.”

Sadly, the next moment Kagetsu Kana turned to Fu Qian, smiling in the same way as she showed her gratitude.

…

Kisaragi Chie’s hands untying the knots were almost shaking, but she continued with gritted teeth.

Unfortunately, the knots Takagi tied were a bit too tight, and in her emotional turmoil, she struggled several times without succeeding in undoing the last one.

Kagetsu Kana, however, seemed to be growing impatient, pushing her sister’s hands away, and in the next moment, she pulled forcefully with her intact left hand, freeing herself from the restraints.

“You’re welcome.”

Fu Qian replied offhandedly, while sizing up the scene, reflectively commenting.

This must be about—Seventh Phase?

…

But I’ve only been away for a day, and she’s nearly catching up to me in terms of efficiency!

Fu Qian expressed deep sentiment towards this new discovery.

Indeed, compared to when they had met before, Kagetsu Kana’s condition had undergone a qualitative change.

Her body no longer merely had a special aura that only she and Su Gao could sense; it now clearly exuded a transcendent presence, and her rank was even not lower than Suzune’s.

His own idea of coming over to observe was definitely correct; the 9527 Beauty Project had entered a new phase.

“Kagetsu Kana?”

Suzune, who had been preoccupied with Takagi’s tragic state, finally realized something was off.

Looking at the standing Kagetsu Kana and then at the torn rope beside her, the Night Watchman’s voice sounded as if she were talking in her sleep.

“What’s wrong?”

Kagetsu Kana herself had not yet realized the change; seeing Suzune’s strange reaction, she felt a bit puzzled for a moment.

“Your hand…”

After the latter snapped out of her daze, her eyes, however, were fixed on Kana’s severed arm.

“It was chopped off by Takagi, who clearly had gone mad. Not only did he abduct me here, but he also killed Mr. Ishida right in front of me.”

As she spoke, she unconsciously followed Suzune’s gaze, and Kagetsu Kana was also stunned.

On what was once her bare elbow, there were now countless flesh buds writhing, slowly tearing and stretching forward bit by bit.

“The Miracle Elixir actually works…”

Suzune’s voice clearly conveyed her life questioning.

“You, need to come back with me.”

After swallowing hard, she subconsciously pulled Kisaragi Chie to one side, her eyes filled with determination as she looked at the newly ascended transcendent.

“Okay…”

Kagetsu Kana finally realized what had happened and couldn’t help but caress the flesh buds at the base of her severed hand with her left hand, murmuring to herself.

What she had yearned for in countless days had suddenly appeared when she had already given up hope, making her emotions indescribable.

“Mr. Darcy, could you accompany me there?”

However, after agreeing to Suzune’s request, she suddenly remembered something and smiled at Fu Qian.

She had become more confident, hadn’t she? Was this the mental impact of her transformation?

Attempting to conquer him with a downgraded aura of dominance?

In the face of Kagetsu Kana’s increasingly enchanting demeanor, Fu Qian inwardly expressed admiration.

This was a major discovery; the next step was to figure out how she had managed this.

Unlike Suzune, Fu Qian did not believe it was purely the delayed effect of the Miracle Elixir; he was more inclined to think it was related to her special talent.

Was it a gradual accumulation that finally surpassed a certain threshold, or was there a particular reason that triggered the transformation?

However, considering his sensitive identity, going back to the Night Watchmen Base with her wasn’t a good idea, so he chose to let that idea go.

For a moment, Fu Qian shook his head slightly, but the next moment he saw Kagetsu Kana’s face stiffen, then tears welled up in her eyes, and the words of refusal seemed somewhat hard to utter.

Incredible, something was not quite right!

Fu Qian keenly noticed the change in his own mentality.

He did not believe that he could have any kind of embarrassed emotion; this reluctance seemed to be the result of some influence.

Could Takagi have been tormented in that way because of this, too?

Although he was no ignoramus, Kagetsu Kana, at best, seemed to be at the Seventh Phase.

No matter how miraculous her ability was, unless it was Middle Tier, Fu Qian did not believe it could affect a demigod like him; this was somewhat strange.

Wait, in some aspect, she actually was at the Middle Tier!

Suddenly, Fu Qian remembered the badge in his pocket.
