Chapter 86: Attack and Defense in the Human Realm (Part 10)
"That's it. β
Alice bent down to pick up the broken doll from the ground and pat it off with dust.
The body of the puppet has been seriously deformed, a large piece of the front chest is recessed, and the skin on it is shattered inch by inch, and the slightest touch will peel off piece by piece like the old wall skin, and the original exquisite appearance is now unrecognizable, not only no longer as cute as before, but also a little scary. Alice only glanced at it and could see that the cause of the doll's "death" was a frontal blow from a blunt object.
"The clue is broken here......"
Marisa glanced at the broken doll, glanced around, and sighed.
In order to find the lost puppet, the two turned back for a long time, almost back to the original place. There were only two streets between where they were and the battlefield between Mei Hong and Kaguya, and when she looked up, Marisa could even see the smoke and fire slowly rising. This place is just an ordinary side street, and they have thoroughly searched it to confirm that there is nothing abnormal.
Alice took the broken doll back into the small satchel she was carrying, and Marisa said to her:
"Maybe we unconsciously missed some key places, why don't we search again?"
"Shhhh
Alice cocked her index finger and shrugged softly.
"Huh?"
Marisa didn't react for a moment, and Alice added softly, "Be quiet for a while." β
Whatever the reason Marisa couldn't understand, Marisa kept her mouth shut, not asking, not making any noise, out of her long-standing trust in Alice Margot Royd. Alice's expression was rather solemn, the street lamps were not lit, so that the whole town was very dim red in the moonlight, and her pupils were unusually small, and she looked like a cat focused on catching mice. There was silence all around, only the sound of the wind crossing the street, Marisa glanced left and right, and didn't find anything unusual, but instinctively felt that this atmosphere was wrong.
Under the red moon, there was a small figure, standing on the top of a house, standing in the backlight, and its true face was unrecognizable. The position of this pitch-black figure is an absolute blind spot between the two, and it is absolutely impossible to notice it if you don't turn around. Her gaze pierced through the darkness and fell straight on the two magicians, which could be described as "eyeing each other". Excluding the murderous aura, premonition, and sixth sense, this can definitely be regarded as a "surprise attack" in the true sense.
The figure's movements were light, as light as a white rabbit sneaking past the sleeping big bad wolf, so light that it was almost completely motionless. She found the perfect starting position in three or two steps, and then, with a gentle kick of her short but powerful legs, she leaped into the air, imprinting the outline of her body on the red moonβa wide skirt, hanging rabbit ears, and a carrot ornament around her neck that floated through the air. In addition, she was holding a large, narrow-headed mallet for pounding rice cakes in both hands, and held it high above her head, looking like a god of death wielding a sickle and harvesting life under the full moon.
Gravity stretched out its claws, and the figure sped down, and the mallet fell faster with the strength and weight of her arms. The target she was aiming at was the back of Alice's neck.
It's late, it's too late, it's too late to start dodging now. Looking at the back of Alice's white, delicate, blown-out, and defenseless neck, the raider smiled unconsciously, revealing the two rabbit teeth that were white and shiny in the night.
Your head, I'll take it down!
"Do you already feel like you've won the game, Emperor Inaba?"
Alice stretched out her right hand, grabbed it lightly in the air, and then pulled it down with more force, activating some kind of transparent mechanism that could not be seen. Then, she turned around unhurriedly and glanced coldly at the assassin who was still in the position of a sledgehammer jumping, the head of the hammer less than a meter away from her head, but it was firmly fixed in the air, immobile - yes, it was the lucky white rabbit who accompanied Princess Kaguya out, Emperor Inhata!
It seems that this time, fate did not favor her.
"Oh, it's you!"
At this time, Marisa also turned around and pointed to the Emperor Inhata who had been arrested, and shouted as if he had suddenly realized.
"Twenty meters in radius, doll silk enchantment. β
Alice opened her clenched right hand, and a large handful of transparent magic threads lay on it. She used a doll-like emotionless voice to say to Emperor Inhata:
"You think this is a sneak attack, but in fact, your every move is under my control, take a good look around you!"
The emperor and Marisa turned their heads together to look around, only to find a large number of transparent filaments, scattered in the air around them, filling the seemingly empty space. The filaments intertwined into a huge spider web, the net so thin that not even a sparrow could pass through it. Even so, with its extremely thin lines and high transparency, this large net is almost completely invisible. Only at certain angles can the reflection of the light of the red moon on the surface of the silk thread be seen.
Marisa glanced over and found that there were not a thousand silk threads hanging on the emperor's body, but hundreds, and she couldn't count them. Those thin threads entangled every part of the emperor's body, from head to toe, and they were tied tightly, no wonder this little rabbit couldn't move. At this glance, Marisa couldn't help but nod her head, marveling at the incomparable skill.
"You're like a butterfly that falls into a spider's web," Alice's gaze was as cold as ice, shooting straight at the emperor's body, freezing her spinal cord, "the moment you touched the edge of the spider's web, the 'shock' was already in my hands, and I knew your position well." Each of these threads is very fragile, but when a large number of threads are combined, they can form an irresistible force, and even giants and dragons can be firmly bound. β
"Now, is there anything else you want to say before I chop you up with thread?"
The emperor had nothing to hide under Alice's cold eyes, and cold sweat broke out. She forced out a bottomless, awkward-looking half-smile, but her face was pale and iron-blue. Legend has it that rabbits are particularly timid creatures, and often before the predators can even bite them, they are already frightened into heart attacks, and they kick their legs to death. At the very least, the emperor performed much better than her four-legged compatriots, and at this point, her eyes were still rolling, and her mind was still wondering how to get out of this desperate situation.
In short, open your mouth first, say something, anything. The important thing is to drag the enemy first, with her three-inch tongue that the dead flickered the living flickered the dead and the normal flickered and bought crutches from her, as long as she dragged it, there will always be a chance in the future.
"Yo...... Yo!"
Under the guidance of this thought, the emperor opened his mouth, and while thinking about what to say next, he stumbled and said:
"This, this is not Alice Margot ......"
Speaking of which, she accidentally bit her tongue.
"Miss Troll......" she continued, with tears in her eyes, forcibly maintaining her smiling face, which was almost untenable, "don't ...... Don't come unharmed!"
"Ah, I'm all right, except that I almost got a hammer in the back of some little bunny. Alice replied with a blank face.
"Haha...... Ha ha...... Hey...... Hehe...... Uh......"
Inhata gave a fake smile, and Alice and Marisa looked up at her with straight faces. The two of them neither spoke nor made any expressions, they just stared at the emperor quietly and intently, and kept staring at the emperor himself with embarrassment, and withered in silence.
"Well, I'll admit it......," the emperor whispered, as if talking to himself, "it's not funny at all......
Then, at once, she turned her face again, put on a business-like smile that was a hundred times brighter, and said to Alice:
"By the way, Miss Alice, is your search going well?"
"Are you trying to make me angry so that you can die with more dignity?"
Seeing that Alice was glaring at her, there was a trace of anger out of thin air, and the emperor hurriedly explained with a smile:
"How dare you, how dare you! I just thought, if you don't find any results, I might be able to help you. β
"After all, our family, Forever Pavilion, and the main culprit of this mutation can be regarded as a temporary ally, isn't it?"
Speaking of this, there was a little more cunning in the emperor's smile.
"Tell me, what do you know?"
Alice asked, holding her hand.
"I know everything, including where the villagers are being locked up, who locked them up, as long as you can release me, I will recruit them all. β
"Are you talking to me about terms?" said Alice, frowning.
"Hehe, that's not a negotiation of conditions, Miss Alice!" said to Alice with a smile, as if she were out of danger at this time:
"After all, if I help you die, and if I don't, then why don't I die with more dignity?
When Alice heard this, she silently crossed the five fingers of her right hand, and like a fly on the table, the thousands of thin threads that wrapped around the emperor's body broke together and loosened the tie for the emperor. The thin line supporting the body disappeared all of a sudden, and the emperor couldn't react, so he fell into a big fart squat, grinning in pain.
"Oops...... Oops, I'm going to have to break my ass into three pieces!"
Just as the emperor frowned, covered her ass, and sat on the ground screaming, Alice took a big step forward, forced in front of her, and asked condescendingly and coercively:
"Now, you're willing to speak, aren't you?"
"Open open open, of course open!"
The emperor rubbed the sore spot twice, and stood up. She slapped the dirt on the back of her skirt and turned it to Alice, and opened her mouth to reveal a large string:
"I pay the most attention to integrity in doing business because of Emperor Wang, and if I give you a promise, I will never break my promise, you can let ......it go."
"Get to the point. Alice interrupted her boasting with a sharp voice.
"Yes yes yes, right to the point, right to the point!"
The emperor was like a drunken profiteer, harmonious and slippery, with a rhetorical tone that made people unable to let go of their hearts, and said in a rhetorical tone:
"You may not believe it, but the one who kidnapped all the residents of the people is a small character that you don't usually look at you normally, and they can't be smaller. Let me put it this way, it's younger than me!"
"Her name is ......"
