Unwritten Mythos

In Mei's cafe, Lam was diligently cleaning the bowls when suddenly, the young girl Raven and Chino burst in, urgently etched on their faces.

"Hurry! We need to call Master Aurora! 002 is in critical condition!"

Lam was taken back by the sight, quickly moving forward to assess the situation.

"What happened? How is this even possible?"

Chino bore the grim evidence of his injury – a crowbar lodged in his chest, his body marred by wounds, his breaths shallow and faint.

"Who could have inflicted such damage on 002?"

"We'll discuss that later. Right now, focus on taking care of him. I'll go find Master Aurora!"

With those words, Raven transformed into her raven form and soared towards the second floor.

"At this time, Master Aurora is most likely sleeping, but Chino is about to..." Raven exclaimed anxiously, "Damn it, that idiot! If I get scolded by Master Aurora because of him, I will definitely have to eat a whole fish feast!"

Raven flew into the room through the window, only to find Mei holding a potion and constantly shaking it.

"Master!" She called out urgently.

Mei turned her head, "002?"

Raven was momentarily stunned. "Master, you already know?"

"Go, I'll go see 002 first," Mei said, changing her clothes quickly. She went downstairs and was immediately met with the sight of Chino, covered in blood and with a crowbar sticking out of his chest.

He can't be seen like this by the police station across the street, Mei thought, glancing towards the station. Fortunately, it was night.

"Huh?" At that moment, a group of policemen suddenly rushed out of the police station, looking very concerned.

But instead of heading towards Mei's Cafe, they ran to the police car. A group of officers piled in, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.

This is... weird? Mei shook her head. Let it go, saving this guy is more important.

Mei squatted down beside Chino, who had already lost consciousness. His breathing was so weak that she wasn't sure if he could be saved. She opened the potion and began pouring it down Chino's throat.

Gulp. Gulp.

The bottle emptied quickly. As the liquid entered his stomach, Chino's body began to convulse violently.

"Aaaah... Aaaah!" Chino's eyes suddenly widened as his limbs first expanded, then contracted. His stomach swelled to the extreme, nearly inflating like a balloon, before deflating just as quickly.

Without hesitation, Chino raised his hand and grabbed the crowbar embedded in his chest, "Aaaah... Aaaah ah!"

Poof! Fresh blood spurted out as Chino yanked the crowbar out himself. His chest muscles twisted together, and the bleeding stopped rapidly.

"Ho.... Ho... Ho...." Chino panted heavily, his body beginning to stabilize.

This potion section primarily contains two things: Queen Bee's blood and Fish-Man's black toothfish. But to help Chino recover from his injury, Mei decided to use another potion.

"Go, drag him inside."

Raven nodded, transforming her arm into a muscular limb, and effortlessly pulled Chino into the warehouse.

"005, clean up the cafe."

Lam nodded and picked up a mop to clean the blood.

Mei went to the counter and made herself a cup of instant coffee.
