Chapter 8: Encounters
The streets are very quiet at night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The repeated experience of such a vicious battle has made the residents of Shallow Creek feel worried, and the panic makes people instinctively seek safety, or security.
It's like an ostrich burying its head in the sand when it encounters danger, even if everyone knows that it won't help, they are still willing to pin their hopes on the ethereal [security].
Is it safe to stay at home?
Of course not, the berserker can even shred the building directly, is it safe?
However, the point is not that it is safe or not, but that it is "sense", intuitively speaking, that is, they feel that it is safe to do so.
This is the power of the mind, as long as you stay at home, wrap yourself in the quilt, try to suggest that it is a small chance event, hate the developer's tofu scum project, despise the inefficiency of the police, and then fall asleep with this condemnation in a panic, and then cheer up and go on with your life tomorrow.
But judging by the level of panic, the residents of Shallow Creek are more exaggerated than elsewhere.
After all, this is a slow-paced city with [self-cultivation], and those who can come here are either working children, parents of wealthy families, or famous businessmen who are physically and mentally exhausted. Rich people always have a few enemies. Rather, rich people who have no enemies are rare.
These people don't need to work, they're here to play. Therefore, they can't bury themselves in their work, let themselves run around for life, and forcibly use their work to make themselves forget everything. The more they think, or the more they think about it, the more they feel that they have provoked a terrible guy and that something will happen.
That is, it is often said that you scare yourself.
It's like after an earthquake, it's not the aftershocks that really make people panic, but people's panic about "how can I escape if the aftershocks collapse the house?" Even though they know that the aftershocks are of low intensity and will not harm the building, they can't help but think of those bad thoughts. In Chinese terms, it is a bird with a frightened bow.
Moreover, the collapse of the building can still be explained by [tofu slag], but what about the park?
The earth fell, the trees fell, and the blackened marks of the explosion looked like someone had exchanged fire with heavy weapons here!
Even in the residential area next to the park, not even the slightest explosion sound was heard - of course, the magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War would at least use the soundproof barrier, otherwise how embarrassing would it be for everyone to fight while a group of people next to them watched the excitement?
As a result, the horror stems from the unknown, everyone knows that the park was destroyed, but no one knows who destroyed him when, and as a result, the rich people are more convinced that this is an act of revenge against someone, maybe a company or an organization.
In order to calm everyone's mood, a large number of plainclothes policemen wandered around the streets, and they also cheered up, determined to catch the culprit and reassure the people. Otherwise, it would be terrible for those rich people to join forces to do things.
"I'm sorry, miss, are you alone?"
Facing the man who came to talk to her, Mina only had helplessness and tiredness on her face.
She couldn't even tell that this was the first person she had accosted.
If it were ordinary, she might still feel that this was a lewd middle-aged uncle who came to find her ****, but the person who came looked tough, and the sturdy bone lines could be seen under the ordinary clothes, with considerable traces of exercise, and it was probably a plainclothes policeman, right?
Seeing a little girl walking at night, she must feel that she has a problem......
Mina sighed, even the Tosaka family's elegant family motto was thrown aside, and the facial features on the soft facial line drooped helplessly, looking at her expression, the police were even more convinced that she had her own difficulties, maybe she ran away from home, maybe she had suffering, of course, she could be a terrorist, but in short, she needed the help of the police.
The police officers who came to talk to him reacted in the same way as the previous ones.
"Well, I don't have a problem, don't worry about me. Just get on with your work. ”
"Yes, I see. I will continue my work. ”
Then he left quietly.
Mina's eyes were shining with a wonderful brilliance at this time, like the pearls of the night, in the dark night, under the dim street lamps, exuding a seductive brilliance.
This is a very common mental suggestion, and the magic used by Mina also integrates the technology of the magic eye, which is characterized by a faster effect, and the activation is more secretive, with the blink as a signal, activating the magic circuit, and you can see the target of your eyes [charm]. Then manipulate their spirit a little and impose conditions in their favor.
For this kind of ordinary person who has no talent for magic, Mina's hint is full of shots, and it lasts for two whole days, except that every time someone asks "Miss, are you alone" a little annoyed, nothing else.
After sending this annoying guy away, Mina wondered if she should choose a path where no one was around.
However, she quickly dispelled this idea: "Still looking for a road where no one is found?! It is even more troublesome to be discovered! And how can there be a place where there is no one! She can't even tell how many streets there are in Dongmu, and you asked her to say which road in a new city in China is rarely inhabited?!
She could only sigh and quietly press her hand on the back of her right hand to cheer herself up.
Considering that Lu Bu was injured, I'm afraid that those Imperial Masters who were keen on the Holy Grail War would not be indifferent, and now was a good opportunity to lure them out!
But...... What can I do if I draw it out?
Mina didn't think about it. I can't think of it.
Because of the recent upheavals that have been too frequent, she is in a daze, and her brain can barely move. Before, in the forest, a roaring explosion suddenly sounded in her ears, and this alone was enough for her to understand, and now she is still here?!
She doesn't have that much energy...... She's just acting mechanically, according to the [common sense] of the Holy Grail War.
It is now time to find the enemy Master, and then kill it. She's just acting on that common sense.
"Now, Miss......"
Suddenly, in Mina Tosaka's ears, another man's voice rang out.
(It's annoying!!)
Mina thought so angrily and turned her head.
"I want to walk quietly at night alone, please don't bother me!"
In the blink of an eye, she had activated the magic circuit of her body, and the hinted magic appeared on her pupils, glowing with a wonderful brilliance, and those beautiful eyes had turned into charming sunglasses!
However......
"Ah...... Really...... Miss, are you ...... magician......"
