On the vast Morning Town Square, the golden sunset bathes the sky in a picturesque hue. This is usually a place where people gather and children play, but today, it is unusually quiet.
Suddenly, the sound of a broadcast pierces the silence, breaking the tranquility of the evening.
"Attention, everyone, please immediately evacuate from Asa Town Square! A lion has escaped from the zoo. If you are nearby, please leave the square immediately or seek shelter in nearby vehicles or shops."
Murano Rimi and Izumi Shinichi exchanged a surprised look upon hearing the broadcast.
"Hmm? A lion escaped from the zoo? That's really something!" Rimi said with a playful smile.
Shinichi furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Since that's the case, we should hurry back home."
Rimi smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go."
So, the two quickly changed direction, avoiding the morning town square, and walked briskly towards home.
Morning Town Square,this bustling and vibrant commercial street, suddenly plunged into chaos and panic. The hurried footsteps, screams, and frantic conversations intertwined, as if foreshadowing an unknown disaster.
"Look over there! It's a lion!" a man exclaimed in terror, trembling as he pointed towards an alley not far away. His face was pale, his lips quivering slightly, as if he had been completely consumed by fear.
At the mouth of the alley, a lion emerged slowly. Its gaze was sharp and profound, and its fur appeared golden and dazzling under the setting sun. This golden hue was unlike anything seen in everyday life, more akin to flames ignited by the sunset, exuding power and dominance.
"Wow!" A young couple stood in shock, gaping at the scene. The girl covered her mouth, letting out a sharp scream, while the boy tightly held her hand, his face filled with fear.
"Quick, let's escape!" The surrounding crowd also began to panic. Some people ran while glancing at their phones, attempting to call for help; others dragged their luggage or shopping bags, their faces filled with panic and confusion.
The lion suddenly looked up and let out a deafening roar, as if proclaiming that its appearance was not a coincidence, but a challenge and a declaration of war.
Its gaze eventually locked onto a middle-aged man in a suit. The man seemed to have also noticed the lion's gaze, his hands trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but cry out, "Don't come over, don't come over!"
The lion didn't hesitate at all and pounced quickly. In the air, its body seemed to elongate, becoming even taller and more powerful.
The lion suddenly pounced on the man, biting down hard and pinning him to the ground. The man's screams abruptly stopped, as the lion's fangs sank deep into his neck, and fresh blood quickly gushed from the wound.
However, the lion seemed to have no intention of ending it all immediately. It suddenly released its grip, apparently losing interest in the man who was now completely defenseless. It looked around for a moment and then leisurely walked away, as if this was just a minor incident in its life.
The sudden panic and chaos left the entire Morning Town Square in disarray.
This lion is different from most wild lions, as it has always lived in a zoo and does not harbor any hostility or fear towards humans. In fact, its behavior seems to stem more from boredom than hunger.
The lion suddenly turned its gaze towards a female student. The student was wearing a school uniform, holding a book bag, and her eyes were filled with fear.
"Come over here!" The bus driver waved nervously, his face serious. He realized that the lion had already locked onto its target, and if they didn't act quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The female student, upon hearing the driver's call, immediately ran desperately as if her life depended on it. Her breathing was rapid, her face pale, and she finally made it onto the bus.
The bus doors quickly closed behind her. The lion rushed to the front of the bus, but failed as the doors were tightly shut. It appeared quite displeased, emitting a low, rumbling roar that shook the entire square.
The lion once again turned its gaze towards another group of people. After successfully pouncing on another human, a hint of realization flashed through its mind: "Ah, I am so powerful. My claws and teeth can easily tear apart prey."
"But humans are so fragile, I can't believe I was once kept by such creatures," thought the lion.
A man is hiding in a phone booth, looking terrified. He tightly grips the phone receiver and urgently asks, "Have the police and zoo staff not arrived yet? Hurry, many people have already been bitten!"
The lion strolls to the center of the square and lazily stretches. Perhaps it doesn't know that its ultimate fate may be to be shot by the police or hunters.
Since it broke through the zoo's fence and walked several kilometers to XX Square, it has always felt invincible, with no threat able to stop it.
A human climbed a tree in fear as the lion chased after them. This was the first time the lion truly unleashed its hunting instincts. In that moment, the lion felt that nothing and no one could stop it, truly becoming the king of the land.
In such a tense atmosphere, the lion suddenly felt something unusual behind it. A middle-aged man approached it silently, even the sensitive lion did not notice. The man's eyes were cold, causing a sense of fear.
The lion's heart was filled with uncertainty: "What's going on? How can this human be even more powerful than me?" The lion's gaze met the middle-aged man's, and he felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
The middle-aged man casually raised his hand, with a hint of disdainful smile on his face. He whispered, "Mammals are all afraid of pain, and you should be no exception." His tone revealed deep contempt and disdain.
After saying this, the middle-aged man turned and left, as if this lion was not worth a single second of his time. He was only interested in humans, and he had no intention of attacking any species that did not pose a threat to his life.
Watching the man's figure gradually recede, the lion finally recovered from the fear it had just experienced.
Although this lion has been raised as a pet since birth and its wild nature has been almost erased, it is still a lion. Just now, although the man was imposing, he had no weapons and no sharp teeth and claws like a lion.
So, the lion, trusting its instincts, decided to attack. It took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar: "Roar!" With this roar, the lion pounced on the middle-aged man without hesitation.
Surprisingly, the middle-aged man not only did not stop, but his head unbelievably turned 180 degrees, and then it unexpectedly split into six curved knives.
These curved blades are spinning at high speed, forming a fierce structure like a blood droplet. Anything that comes near it will be instantly crushed!
The lion, at this moment, was unable to stop or turn around in time, and its head was crushed by this force, causing its body to collapse weakly.
The bus passengers were unable to clearly see how the man dealt with the lion due to poor visibility and the suddenness of the event. They only saw that the lion's head had become a bloody mess, and the man's face was also covered in blood. The man coldly took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
People hiding in the bushes exclaimed in shock, "What on earth happened?" Their faces were filled with expressions of disbelief.
Although there were many witnesses at the scene, no one could say for sure what had happened. After the lion fell, the crowd gradually felt safe and began to run out. As for the middle-aged man, covered in blood, he seemed unwilling to stay any longer and quickly left the scene.
A man wearing glasses showed a puzzled expression and whispered to the person next to him, "I think I just saw that man's head deform."
Another man laughed loudly and disdainfully responded, "Impossible, you must have seen it wrong."
The witnesses at the scene finally reached a consensus, although they all had different opinions: in the end, everyone could only speculate that the mysterious middle-aged man may have used some kind of explosive to deal with the lion.
