So they deliberately released murderous intent, trying to get the other side to make a move, but each of them remained completely unmoved.
"Then you'll have to blame me."
He pointed his finger at the glass on the table, a mere thought.
The cup seemed to be subjected to some external force, and instantly shattered into countless fragments that scattered on the ground.
He thought this threat was enough, but things always turn out differently than Kanzaki Teru expected.
"Oh, oh, oh! Want to perform a magic trick? Let's do it again!"
Everyone present still did not regard this as a threat, and watched everything unfold with a relaxed attitude.
"Give up, Kanzaki-kun. We all know you well; we know perfectly well that you wouldn't do something like that." Yu.
Chapter 446: Midnight
Number Seven took a sip of the wine in his glass and made a cheerful sound.
"So even if they want to threaten us, it's pointless."
After all, we can guess roughly what you want to do, so just enjoy the party.
Number Nine walked up to Kanzaki Hiroshi and patted him on the shoulder, her eyes still full of trust in him.
Even seeing Kanzaki Teru's attitude, he maintained a smile on his face.
"Sigh—why do you trust me so much?"
Seeing that his threats had no effect, Kanzaki Teru could only sigh helplessly.
After all, this is different from facing an enemy. The other party has not shown any hostility towards him, so Kanzaki Teru has no reason to take action.
Ding-dong—but then the doorbell rang, and this time everyone fell silent.
Some even had nervous expressions on their faces, but a few who were too drunk didn't care about this at all.
It must be said that although there are a few people who seem perfectly normal, most of the people in these "permanent" positions are actually problem children.
That being said, their ages and genders appear to be different.
Although most of them looked to be high school students, Permanent Number Nine was clearly older than the rest.
Eternal Number Seven spoke less than the others. In Kanzaki Teru's eyes, the one who brought these problem children together was none other than Eternal Number Ten.
Number Ten acts like a glue, properly handling the relationships between everyone.
Even Kanzaki Teru hadn't expected this, since she usually seemed very carefree and not at all like this type of person.
The attention of everyone present was now drawn to the doorbell, not out of fear, but out of anticipation.
After all, only nine out of ten [Permanent] users showed up, so they were probably hoping for the arrival of the last one.
Under such circumstances, only that person could have come here.
If everything went as expected, everything would be smooth sailing.
But reality is not so rosy; most things are unexpected, which is why some people succeed while others fail.
"The door is unlocked."
"Hey you guys, can you help me carry this?"
However, what came from outside the door was an exceptionally childish voice; Kanzaki Teru wouldn't have doubted it at all if you said it was the voice of an elementary school student.
"Huh!? Midnight! There are quite a few people here today."
When they heard the sound outside the door, everyone's attention was drawn back to it, almost just like when Kanzaki Teru had first arrived.
"Why are you here too? You haven't shown your face since then... "
However, before Number Four could finish speaking, Number Nine grabbed her.
Seeing Number Nine's actions, Number Four seemed to remember something, and his expression became somewhat downcast.
"Huh? What's wrong? Why do you all look so sullen? I finally made it all this way, and this is how you treat me?"
Only after hearing what the person referred to as "Zero Hour" said did everyone's expressions relax.
Then I quickly opened the door and took the things from her hands...
The object looked like something similar to wine, but following the faint aroma, Kanzaki Teru discovered that it contained no alcohol; instead, something else was used as a substitute.
At this moment, Kanzaki Teru finally saw the person who had arrived. As expected, he was indeed a primary school student.
She was wearing a navy blue dress with a red ribbon tied at the neckline, looking like a primary school student that wouldn't look out of place anywhere.
No—except for one thing, that is, from her behavior, you can't tell that Kanzaki Teru is a primary school student at all.
Whether it's the tone of his voice or other aspects, he appears exceptionally arrogant.
"Huh? Kanzaki Teru! What are you doing here!?"
Upon seeing Kanzaki Teru, she reacted almost exactly like everyone else, even though she had never given her name, the other person knew everything.
However, for some reason, there was an indescribable emotion on Ling Shi's face at this moment.
Pain, sadness, excitement... a mix of negative and positive emotions made it difficult to discern her true thoughts.
"Um... Zero, could you come here for a moment?"
Number 10 beckoned to her and led Zero aside to say something.
However, after hearing what she said, for some reason, Ling Shi's expression relaxed considerably.
"Okay, I understand. That makes things easier."
"Since you're here at midnight, it's a bit of a shame that number 8 didn't come, but this is definitely a memorable day. Let's raise a toast!"
Chapter 447: Mutation
He held up the cup in his hand, which contained the drink that had just been brought over at midnight.
"cheers!"
"Oh......"
Some people were very enthusiastic, but others did not show any concern about the matter.
But in short, everyone picked up their cups and drank their beverages in one gulp.
After that, Zero walked straight up to Kanzaki Teru.
However, there was one thing that bothered Kanzaki Teru: although she looked like just an elementary school student, none of the people present treated her like one.
They were treated as equals, and even with a sense of respect.
This puzzled Kanzaki Teru somewhat, but there was no need to worry about it for the time being.
"You haven't changed at all, no—it should be said that you've actually never changed."
Kanzaki Teru didn't understand the meaning of those two sentences, but since this girl named Zero had spoken up, he was fine with it.
3. There must be a reason for that. Although preconceived notions are a common habit, even Kanzaki Teru is no exception.
However, even with the influence of first impressions, it wouldn't lead to Kanzaki Hikaru making incorrect judgments later on.
After all, he had encountered too many tragedies caused by preconceived notions, so by now Kanzaki Teru no longer trusted anyone.
He didn't even believe in himself, and doubted everything in the world.
Even so, his tone was incredibly arrogant when facing Kanzaki Teru, showing absolutely no respect.
This is no innocent and naive elementary school student; it's the attitude of a gang leader.
"That... midnight?"
However, upon hearing Zero say that, Number Nine's expression faltered, and he hurriedly took two steps forward, seemingly trying to stop her from continuing.
"Do you really think Kanzaki Teru didn't notice? You all know how strong he is, or has too much time passed and he's just forgotten?"
After being told that, Number Nine was speechless and just stood there in that position.
"You've known me for a long time, haven't you?"
"That's right, we've known you for a long time, even longer than you think."
But that's fine too, then I won't have to go looking for you separately anymore.
Zero's expression seemed a little strange at this moment, but Kanzaki Teru had already figured out the reason.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, it's just... 712... please, all of you 576368, die here."
There was no joking in his voice; Ling Shi's tone was as cold as ice, chilling one to the bone.
However, the others clearly did not realize her true intentions.
"Hahaha! Oh my, what's wrong with you two today! Why are you both joking around?"
Number Four held a bottle of wine in one hand and rested the other hand on Kanzaki Teru's body.
Although he was a little drunk, he remained conscious.
"Do you think I'm joking? Although I feel a little sorry for you, you should all go to sleep now."
"I don't quite understand what you're saying..."
The last few words weren't even clearly spoken before the scene fell silent.
There was no more noise, no more laughter, not even a single sound of conversation.
Because everyone was asleep.
"sorry......"
Looking at the people lying on the ground, Zero's tone carried a hint of guilt for some reason.
Even though she did it voluntarily, she seemed to have not yet accepted it in her heart.
Who are you apologizing to?
However, at that moment a voice reached Zero's ears. Looking towards the source of the voice, he found that Kanzaki Teru was still standing there as if nothing had happened.
"How is this possible?! Didn't you drink it too?"
Looking at Kanzaki Teru with a shocked expression, Zero seemed completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
