boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the runic chains on the door snapped inch by inch.
A cold, twisted aura leaked out from the crack in the door.
squeak-
The heavy wooden door was pushed open a crack from the inside out.
A small, pale, bloodless hand reached out first and clung to the door frame.
Immediately afterwards, a petite figure timidly peeked half its head out from behind the door.
She had long, silvery-white hair, a face as delicate as a doll's, and blood-red pupils filled with timidity and unease.
She was wearing the girls' uniform from Kooh Academy, and she was tightly clutching a cardboard box that was about half her height.
She looked exactly like a severely socially anxious homebody who had locked herself in her room for too long and was forcibly dragged out by her parents to meet guests.
Zhou Ye's eyes widened instantly.
"A reclusive vampire?"
He blurted out subconsciously.
Rias gave a wry smile, as if to say, "I knew it."
“Gasparvaldi is my bishop. A… vampire.”
She omitted the qualifier "homebody".
Zhou Ye quickly understood after a moment's thought.
Even the Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig can transform into a tsundere dragon girl, so it doesn't seem so strange that Gaspar went from a cross-dressing master to a true otaku.
The extent to which this world has been altered has exceeded his imagination.
"Woo..."
Gaspar saw the stranger in the room, and her body trembled violently, especially when she met Zhou Ye's gaze.
She felt it.
It was an indescribable fear, originating from the deepest recesses of life.
The man before her was neither human nor demon, nor any being she could comprehend.
He was like a walking black hole; any soul that got even slightly close would be crushed into dust by his terrifying pressure.
"So...so scary..."
Gaspar let out a mosquito-like whine, and then with a "whoosh," he burrowed into the cardboard box in his arms, leaving only his calves trembling outside.
An eerie silence fell over the entire activity room.
"Oh my, Minister, you bishop are such a shy little cutie."
Himejima Akeno covered her mouth, laughing so hard she was shaking.
Rias held her forehead, feeling her blood pressure soaring.
She walked over and knocked on the cardboard box.
"Gasper! Come out here! This is not the time to play!"
"No! There are monsters outside! We'll be eaten!" A muffled, tearful voice came from inside the cardboard box.
Rias took a deep breath, resisting the urge to throw the cardboard box and its contents out.
She looked to Zhou Ye for help.
Zhou Ye ignored their farce.
He walked straight to the cardboard box.
He didn't even bend down; he simply looked down at me and spoke in a flat tone.
"There will be a war in three days."
"I need to borrow your power."
The commotion inside the cardboard box stopped.
A few seconds passed.
"No...no! War...I hate it the most! I'll die!"
Gaspar's voice was filled with resistance and fear.
"I...I don't want to go out! I just want to stay in the box!"
"is it?"
Zhou Ye's tone remained unchanged.
"You can't win a war by hiding in a box."
He stretched out a hand and placed it on top of the cardboard box.
"I'll give you two choices."
"First, come out yourself and cooperate with us."
"Second, I'll crush this box, along with you."
cruel.
Without any emotion.
There wasn't even a hint of threat; it was simply stating a given fact.
The cardboard box began to shake violently.
That was the ultimate fear.
"Waaah...you...you're a bad person! A demon!"
“I’m not a demon,” Zhou Ye corrected. “I’m far more advanced than that thing.”
next second.
Om-!
A strange fluctuation, centered on the cardboard box, instantly spread throughout the entire activity room!
Time has stopped.
Rias's outstretched hand, ready to pull the cardboard box, froze in mid-air.
The alluring smile on Himejima Akeno's face froze at the corner of her mouth.
Sona's movement of pushing up his glasses stopped at the bridge of his nose.
The whole world was transformed into a still, gray-white painting.
This is the [Evil Eye That Stops the World].
Gaspar was triggered passively due to extreme fear and excitement.
however.
In this desolate, gray world.
A clear, yet discordant, footstep rang out.
despair.
Zhou Ye's hand left the cardboard box.
He completely ignored the power that could freeze time, and strolled leisurely around the frozen crowd.
Inside the cardboard box, the pair of blood-red pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints because of the scene before them.
impossible!
This is impossible!
Her "Evil Eye that Stops the World" is a God-Slaying Tool! It's an absolute law that can even pause the gods for a moment!
why!
Why can this man still move?
He didn't even show the slightest sign of being affected!
Zhou Ye walked back to the cardboard box, squatted down, and brought his line of sight to the small peephole on the box.
"A very interesting power."
He stretched out his finger and tapped the cardboard box lightly.
"Unfortunately, it won't work for me."
dong dong.
The two strikes were like two heavy hammers, slamming into Gaspar's heart.
Her greatest reliance, her greatest fear, and the only weapon she could use to defend herself, was a joke in front of this man.
Her last and most vulnerable line of defense was completely breached.
"Now, are you still going to hide inside?"
Zhou Ye's voice, transmitted clearly through the cardboard box, reached her ears.
The cardboard box no longer trembled.
Inside, there was utter silence.
The gray and white world slowly faded away, and was once again dyed with vibrant colors.
Rias and the others resumed their movements, looking around blankly, completely unaware of what had just happened.
creak.
The lid of the cardboard box was slowly pushed open from the inside.
The silver-haired vampire girl, her face ashen, crawled out of the room, looking utterly dejected.
