Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 234

Academy Island, Male Dormitory 3.

In Fang Li’s room, Aria sipped on a cup of hot water, her complexion seeming to have improved somewhat.

“How are you feeling?” Fang Li leaned against the wall in the living room and asked, “Are you okay now?”

“I’m fine. That woman kept targeting my bulletproof vest,” Aria held the water cup, her complexion not looking good as she spoke, “But as time went on, the bullets were getting closer to my vital points. At first, it was just my abdomen, then my chest, followed by my collarbone, and they were moving towards my head.”

“Though I don’t know what’s going on, that woman was dead serious.” Aria’s crimson eyes displayed a touch of resentment. “If you hadn’t arrived in time, that woman would have absolutely aimed for my head.”

Hearing Aria’s words, Fang Li furrowed his brows and fell silent.

After defeating Tohyama Kinji on Open Space Island, Tohyama Kinji informed Fang Li that Aria was in danger.

So, Fang Li used the cell phone’s location system to find Aria’s whereabouts and rushed there as quickly as possible.

As such, even until now, Fang Li wasn’t clear about why Aria was in danger.

Even though Fang Li had just called Tohyama Kinji while Aria was resting, his call couldn’t get through, and Tohyama Kinji had vanished.

“Is that person called Tohyama Kana?” Aria turned to Fang Li and asked, “Who is she? How can she be so powerful?”

It’s important to note that Aria is an S-Rank Butei and she is considered top-tier in the Butei World.

However, Tohyama Kana was able to effortlessly defeat Aria.

“Like you, she’s also using the Invisible Bullet.” Aria looked at Fang Li with a skeptical gaze, struggling to continue, “That... that woman, could she be your ex-girlfriend or something?”

Hearing this, Fang Li’s entire body trembled, and he flatly denied it.

“That’s an impossible occurrence, even if heaven falls and the earth rends!” Fang Li said this with an unprecedentedly strong tone.

There’s no way.

If they were unaware, that would be one thing, but Fang Li knew exactly what kind of person Tohyama Kana was.

In short, he is Tohyama Kinji’s Big Brother.

Yes.

Not her, but him.

Not Elder Sister, but Elder Brother.

That’s right.

Tohyama Kana is a man.

More precisely, Tohyama Kana is the name Tohyama Kinji’s Big Brother uses when disguised as a female.

Thus, even though Tohyama Kana possesses extraordinary beauty, that beauty is as unreal as a dream.

Fang Li also learned about Tohyama Kinji’s Big Brother in his first year, then was subtly informed of the matter by Tohyama Kinji.

Tohyama Kinji’s Big Brother is named Tohyama Kanya, the eldest son of the present Tohyama family head.

The Tohyama family’s Hysteria Mode is a physiological condition that grants a superhuman ability within a limited time frame.

The medium for entering this state is becoming sexually aroused. However, sexual arousal doesn’t necessarily have to be directed toward the opposite sex.

Among some individuals with peculiar fetishes, certain factors can trigger heightened emotions and induce sexual desire.

Tohyama Kinji’s Big Brother falls into this category.

This individual enters this state naturally when cross-dressing and disguising as a female.

In other words, Tohyama Kana is Tohyama Kanya’s Hysteria Mode.

As long as he disguises himself as Tohyama Kana, Tohyama Kanya can maintain his Hysteria Mode indefinitely, unleashing unimaginable strength.

Hence, Tohyama Kana is a man.

No matter what, there’s no conceivable connection between Fang Li and Tohyama Kana.

“Is... that so?” Aria seemed taken aback by Fang Li’s imposing manner. Departing from her usual capricious demeanor, she somewhat withdrew and said, “Since that’s not the case, then that’s good.”

“Speaking of which, why were you there?” Fang Li scratched his cheek, attempting to change the topic, and asked, “If you’d just stayed at home, you wouldn’t have been attacked, right?”

“I went there because I received an anonymous phone call,” Aria lightly snorted in response. “I thought someone might be commissioning me for a mission. Little did I know it was an ambush.”

Butei is actually a class akin to a jack-of-all-trades agency.

As long as the reward is substantial, some people are willing to take on tasks that hover on the edge of legality.

Therefore, even receiving somewhat unsavory commissions isn’t all that unusual.

For instance, Inquesta is often commissioned to investigate whether one’s significant other is involved with a third party. These types of commissions aren’t typically posted openly on bulletin boards for anyone to accept.

Hence, well-known Butei often receive anonymous calls, inviting them out to undertake such commissions.

Aria was lured out with the assumption that it might be one of these types of commissions, which caused her to let her guard down. Consequently, she fell into the trap and was attacked.

“Of course, since it’s anonymous, it’s possible to encounter traps.” Aria casually stated, “It’s not my first time encountering something like this.”

For Butei, gunfights and explosions are near “nothing out of the ordinary,” and being lured out through anonymous calls to fall into an ambush similarly falls into the category of “nothing out of the ordinary.”

Therefore, while Aria was somewhat unwilling to admit her loss to Tohyama Kana, she didn’t harbor too many complaints.

Only Fang Li fell into contemplation.

“This person suddenly reappears, targets Aria, goes to the extent of recruiting Kinji, and yet intentionally doesn’t kill Aria immediately. What’s the reason behind all this?”

According to Tohyama Kinji’s account, Tohyama Kanya should already be dead.

It was this fact that had caused Tohyama Kinji to fall into a despondent state, attempting to resign from his Butei work.

However, now Tohyama Kanya has suddenly returned. Not only is he not dead, but he’s also transformed into Tohyama Kana and made a move against Aria. There must be a significant motive behind this.

“After all, Butei are prohibited from killing under any circumstances, but Tohyama Kanya clearly doesn’t intend to abide by this law and regulation.”

Furthermore, Tohyama Kana hasn’t immediately killed Aria. That demeanor doesn’t resemble Tohyama Kinji’s confusion about harming others. Instead, it’s as if she’s testing something, exhibiting a clear purpose.

“What could the reason possibly be?”

Just as Fang Li was caught in this line of thought, Aria spoke up.

“Let’s set that matter aside for now.” Aria turned her crimson eyes toward Fang Li and said, “Right now, we should focus on the I-U issue.”

“You’re right.” Fang Li could only nod.

And so, with the passing of this unfathomable mystery’s episode, the day of attacking I-U gradually approached.
