Enchanted Forest, Margot Royd Residence. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There was an indescribable atmosphere in the room.

That being said, if you've ever had to stay in this elaborate room after getting lost in the Enchanted Forest, you probably won't feel too comfortable. The little children who watched the puppet show around the master of the room in the human world probably didn't know how Alice Margot Royd was a cold magician who didn't care about anyone else. Even if she was said to have been human, it was impossible for the passers-by to feel even the slightest hint of kindness from her, except for the hospitality of a night's stay. Moreover, in the recent past, to be precise, since the humans of the present world began to attack Gensokyo, she seems to be in a bad mood, and she is not allowed to stay even the most basic night. This statement was made by a member of the Self-Police Corps who was lost in the Enchanted Forest but survived with the help of captured weapons from living humans. Although people's curiosity was more focused on how he survived in the forest at night when they heard about this, the matter of "the puppet of the Enchanted Forest has not been in a good mood lately" has also spread in the world with the heroic deeds of the other party, and even produced all kinds of quite unreliable rumors, which have become a kind of conversation among people after the war. The famous Yokai Sage seems to have an ambiguous relationship with the Flower Yokai of the Sun Flower Field (someone in the Air Defense Force once saw the two of them having a tryst) and so on. Although the veracity of this rumor is almost infinitely close to zero, they are rarely right: Alice is in a bad mood.

To be more accurate, it sucks.

At this time, Alice was not the only one in the Margotroyd Mansion, who was sewing dolls with stitches and threads. Next to her, Patchouli held the only book she had with her, quietly turning the pages. The atmosphere emanating between these two people is clearly different from the uncomfortable feeling that usually the occupants feel. If it's just the latter, then the most you feel is a kind of indifference to others, and now, the air in the room seems to have condensed, which makes people feel unusually oppressive.

"Thank you so much for being able to invite me here. Realizing that she had finished reading the last page of the book, Patchouli closed the book in her hand and looked up at Alice, who was seriously threading the thread through the eye of the needle, "The people from the Township Department disagree with me. So, it seems that the next action will be for the two of us together. ”

"Indeed," Alice nodded, "the two of us need to be together." But don't get me wrong, I never wanted to think of you as a companion, and the cooperation between you and me is just because of a common goal. ”

"I'm well aware of this, and I've never misunderstood. Patchouli subconsciously touched her hair, where the familiar half-moon hair ornament was gone, "just because of a common goal...... Common Goals......"

"Before that, I think you've got to figure something out. Otherwise, we simply can't cooperate with each other. Stopping her needlework, Alice suddenly looked up, "Don't go to self-hypnosis anymore." The idea you've come up with wanting to attack them isn't for Gensokyo at all. You're just like me, just trying to get revenge on Marisa. ”

"Nope. I still think that there must be some conspiracy on the other side of the human race, and I just took what I thought was the right choice for Gensokyo, not just for the emotional ...... of revenge."

"Even now, can't you face your feelings head-on?" Alice snorted with her nose, a disdainful expression on her doll-like face, "and always say that I'm a tsundere and duplicitous, in fact, you're the one who is the most duplicitous! Involving people like me is an insult to me and to Marisa. ”

“……”

Rising from her seat, Patchouli tucked her book under her armpit and paced back and forth around the room, finally letting out a long sigh with an expression on her face that put everything down: "That's right...... That's right...... Going to battle with such a false mask would only be an insult to her...... I always say that you are not frank, and in fact how can I ever be frank? If I can be frank, at least ...... It's good to be able to convey this feeling, and it won't be as ...... as it is now."

"No one is going to listen to your boring explanations. I only know one thing right now. Interrupting Pache as Alice continued her needlework, she said, "Marisa's killer is in the group of humans on the other side, so I'm going to kill them all...... Kill them all...... Revenge for Marisa's sake is the only reason I'm alive now. ”

After saying this, Alice suddenly frowned - the needle in her hand accidentally punctured her finger, and a drop of blood was quite conspicuous on her snow-white skin. She hurriedly put her fingers in her mouth, secretly reproaching herself for her carelessness.

"The only reason...... Sure enough, I can't be as crisp as you are in this regard. Patchouli chuckled dryly and sat back in the chair, "You have nothing but Marisa, but I still have my friends and the Red Devil Pavilion...... I really can't do it if I leave them behind...... Maybe that's why I'm going to make up a reason to deceive myself. ”

At one point, the room fell silent. Soon, however, Alice sewed the puppet in her hand. Placing it on the table, she broke the silence: "You said that human beings are capricious and go back on their word. Do you really think so?"

"Of course. At least, that guy...... He didn't keep his promise......" Sensing tears coming from her eyes, Pachouli clenched the book in her hand and closed her eyes. But soon, she suddenly opened her eyes and wiped away the tears that were still on her face, "Alice...... It seems that there are humans who want to die in the vicinity. ”

"In the end, the two of us still got hit......"

Is this a complaint against me? But, well, I don't think you're less responsible than I do, and it's definitely unfair to blame me all of them. And we don't know when or how they escaped. You were conscious at the time, weren't you? This must be one of their killer features.

"Killer feature...... Even if the other party has already done it, we still have no way of knowing what it is. In the helmet, Helena had an unwilling expression on her face, "Damn, I was actually tricked like this...... Even if there is a delay, it should not be ......"

Perhaps, I might have some clue as to how exactly they got out. But that's just speculation.

"Oh, there's speculation, that's fine, it's better than not knowing anything and squirming around like a headless fly. Following the trail of footprints left on the snow, Helena nodded, "Tell me to see?"

You must have seen the information about Gensokyo, right? As mentioned above, there is the old hell in the division of power in Gensokyo, where there is a building called the Earth Spirit Temple, where a pair of sisters live and have the ability to know. My sister has the so-called "unconscious" ability, which I have been in contact with, and this ability is manifested in the way that people who have no skin-to-skin contact with her automatically ignore her existence. The Americans' vanishing trick seems to be somewhat similar to the monster's abilities, but there should be some minor problems in terms of effect and duration, otherwise they don't have to cooperate with China at all, and we have no way to find out that the other party has disappeared.

"There's a lot about brain science, it seems that the Americans are really serious......" Helena frowned, "After all, China doesn't seem to take this incident as seriously as the other side." For example, this kind of person equipped with high-value black technology should be the highest-level field personnel in the eyes of the U.S. government, if it is only the CIA, they are not qualified to call them at all, and the military must have been involved in this kind of incident to a certain extent......"

If we talk about black technology, I don't think that the so-called "spacesuit" on the two of us is much worse, the research institute we went to should also be a subordinate department of the People's Liberation Army, and this suit is so strong that the terrifying information operation, collection, and processing capabilities are also very consistent with the positioning of this mission. Besides, Miss Helena, seeing that you still have time to chat, you should have a backup for a long time, right? Or is this operation simply a deliberate effort by you to let the other party go?

“…… Hawkers, no wonder it's Ge Chengzhi's younger brother, his thinking ability is not bad, and he is qualified. Looking at the figure behind her who was slowly advancing with a sniper rifle, Helena smiled, "That's right, it was on purpose. If you don't let them out, how do you know where they're going to find something? But I wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect to be seen through so quickly. ”

Please don't make jokes like this in the future, I'm going to be scared to death.

"It's just revenge for your refusal to speak, isn't it?, but we have to be quick, the other party is not a character to be underestimated, or it won't be long before it will be discovered, and we must accurately grasp the time to catch up. Speaking of this, Helena couldn't help but "tsk", "What a troublesome task." ”

Sounds like a lot of trouble. But, Miss Helena, how exactly did you put the tracker on them?

"It's good to mix it with food and let them eat it. It's now a very common practice. By the way, I added the same thing to all my food, so now you should also have a positioning device in your digestive tract that can't be digested by stomach acid - I said it all, it's revenge for not speaking......"

…… What a terrible act of revenge. Why do women always seem to be so cautious and calculating...... Oh no, Marisa is also a woman...... To put it another way, that kind of thing really doesn't have any problems in the body.

"Obviously you don't want to talk and type out the thought process?Are you selling cute?" Glancing at the other party again, Helena pushed aside a branch that was in the way, "Don't worry, this kind of thing is absolutely safe...... Oh, there seems to be something unexpected. ”

Engage the enemy in this situation...... We're really out of luck. Hopefully, it won't be long in coming.

"If you can avoid fighting, you should try to avoid it. However, depending on the terrain, the likelihood seems to be relatively low: A1. Calling up the satellite images of the nearby terrain, Helena smiled bitterly twice, "So you have to fight with one?"

I can't get around it at all...... And, if you look at their path, the two guys on the other side should also know about our existence...... It's a real headache, I'm a sniper, and I'm not very good at frontal combat.

"Then hurry up and find your sniper position, I'll meet you head-on, and you can just shoot cold shots in the back. With their way of fighting, they are still accustomed to fighting at line-of-sight, as long as they can detect but not see, they can complete the hiding. As she spoke, Helena licked her lips, "Although they have lived longer than me, they still seem to be little girls...... Hehe. ”

"You, you, you, you!" was taken aback by Fatoumah's attack. Xingxiong Yongyi almost threw the Xingxiong Cup in his hand to the ground. Although she is not human, as a female, she still has a basic awareness of the opponent's attack part, "Where are you attacking, or what are you thinking, why can you attack that place quietly!"

"Confused. It's just a weakness, what's the problem?" Fatumai couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart as he looked at the other party who was still alive and kicking around: it seemed that the 10% probability was still a bit too small, and this time he didn't win the bet at all—although he didn't know why the other party was in an obvious panic. Looking at FK86 in the distance, she tried to get back the rifle that should have half a shuttle bullet left while talking to Xingxiong Yongyi.

"Weak, weak, weak, weak, what kind of weakness is that place!" quickly took off the wine jug on his body and poured a little wine into the Star Bear Cup, and then drank it all in one gulp to suppress his shock, looking at the white-haired human who carefully went to pick up the rifle and glanced here from time to time, Star Bear Yongyi patted his chest, "Why does that kind of place become a weakness!"

"Confused. Don't you really know?" Fatuma breathed a sigh of relief as he held the familiar rifle in his hand. But when the other party asked her own question, she tilted her head, "I thought that since all of you in Gensokyo have basically lived longer than me, then you should have discovered this pattern......

"Found ...... This law?" Finally stabilizing himself, Xingxiong Yongyi began a normal conversation, "Which law are you referring to? Could it be that the so-called that, that kind of place is the law of weakness?"

"Definitely. Based on my own combat experience and the information gathered by the Doctor, humanoid lifeforms that use psychic shields have a 10% chance of not having a shield at the base of their thighs. Indeed, I have used this method to destroy enemies who are more efficient than mine. Seeing that the other party did not seem to have any intention of fighting for the time being, Fatoumah was happy to chat with her - her main task now was to stall for time anyway. Maintaining a posture of being able to attack or dodge attacks at any time, she said at a pace that was as slow as possible but not unnatural, "But I really didn't expect that even non-humans seem to be influenced by humans in terms of human ethics." ”

"You ......" was said to this point, and Xingxiong Yongyi no longer knew what to say. After being silent for a long time, she finally held back a sentence, "Is that all you call the battle that won't let me down?"

"Negative. Of course not. Judging by the way you fight, you want the battle to be a more intense and raging head-on confrontation, which can also be seen in your appreciation of the heavy fire and artillery bombardment of the PLA. Unfortunately, as a unit that often performs covert infiltration missions, I'm not good at this kind of combat. Speaking of this, Xingxiong Yongyi found that the corners of the other party's mouth seemed to curve slightly upward, almost imperceptible, "So after making a judgment, I think it is a wise choice to let other combat units of the empire carry out the task of countering you." ”

"The other combat units of the Empire, so there are other humans here?" Hearing this, Xingxiong Yongyi was immediately aroused again, "So what about it, instead of fighting you in a battle that is not fun, it is better to fight with the person who has an appetite for me...... So, where is the guy you're talking about now? might as well call him out?"

"You may be disappointed. Rifle in hand, Fatuma bowed to the star bear on the other side. At the same time, a rustling sound that grew louder in the distance reached Xingxiong Yongyi's ears, "Your opponent is not a human, but a bug. ”
