Maniwa Haruo's hesitation gave that ghoul a chance to escape.
Just as the ghoul was about to flee, they heard Su Xiao's threatening words.
The ghoul hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran, completely ignoring Su Xiao's words.
Perhaps this was the right choice; staying would mean death, so why not seize a chance to escape?
Just as the ghoul had run a few meters, a long knife whistled through the air towards them.
"Splat."
The long knife pierced through the ghoul's calf, deeply embedding into the asphalt pavement.
"Ah~"
The ghoul screamed in agony, collapsing onto the ground, their face kissing the asphalt road.
"The right choice."
Su Xiao stood up and slowly approached the ghoul.
To him, the act of fleeing seemed perfectly normal, and were he in their position, he would probably do the same.
If staying means death, why not strive for a chance at life?
"What, what do you want to do?"
