Sure enough, the end point was in the undulating hills outside the river embankment, and the straight-line distance from the Daigo Dojo was less than four thousand meters, and the Thunder Beast was able to remember the route clearly and draw it in ten twists. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Strictly speaking, this is not outside the city, it is a wild mountain forest deliberately reserved in Tokyo, and there should be few people in normal times, so it is suitable for foreign wild goblins to inhabit temporarily.

"Meow! There are caves there! ”

In the middle of the hillside before reaching the top of the mountain, Ah Yi pointed to the dark forest on the side with his front paws and shouted, I looked at it and found that there was indeed an area of infrared radiation anomaly in the forest, which should be the scene presented by hollowing out the inside of the mountain bag.

"There seems to be no sign of any creature," I took the lead in opening the way, pushing aside the dense shrubs and grasses that looked like ghostly minions, and within a dozen meters I arrived at a mountain clearing, and under the bulging dirt bag in front of me was an extremely inconspicuous small wooden door, which ordinary people would have to crouch to pass, "If it weren't for the general guidance of the map, I wouldn't have found such a secret safe house in the daytime." ”

"Is Rai-chan locked up here? The small door is not locked, "The little black cat easily arched the door open, and the room was also dark without accident," there is the smell of thunder sauce, and there are some other smells, but this feeling is ...... Rai-chan seems to have lived here for a long time. ”

"Live here? Not necessarily captivity? ”

"I don't know about meow, Lei Jiang can often come to play with me, there's no reason to be imprisoned today," Ah Yi's black hair stood up most of it, and he seemed to be uneasy about the black room, "Lei Jiang is not inside." ”

"It's obviously not there, the space inside is not small, but it's not too big, it seems that there is only this one hall, judging from the radiation scenes collected everywhere inside, there are no ordinary creatures here for at least an hour."

"Rai-chan left here at least an hour ago? But the big mouse only told me that Lei Jiang asked for help, and didn't say anything else. ”

"Hmm—so, obviously."

"Meow!"

"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts," I reassured, "but where did the thunderbeast go?" Does it really need to be rescued? Or was the so-called distress letter made up by someone else? ”

"But the handwriting on the map is very similar to that of Rai-chan - we played drawing and writing on the sand."

"Ah, if it was indeed the Thunderbeast calling for help, how could it have managed to escape an hour ago? If the big rat runs with all its might, it will take about ten minutes to reach the range of the Daigo Dojo from here, and even if it takes ten minutes from the time it reaches the vicinity to find you, the thunder beast should have escaped from the destination it drew for you before the big rat arrived at the Daigo Dojo. ”

"Meow?"

"In other words, the thunderbeast's cry for help should be after it leaves here," I came to a conclusion that was extremely easy to deduce, "since it has escaped, why did it bother to let the big rat bring you a map and a distress message?" ”

One or two cat's eyes began to spin in circles, "It's so complicated...... Yikes! Maybe Rai-chan is joking with me, it's going to pop up and scare me later? ”

"I don't know the character of the thunder beast, I'm only responsible for asking questions, if there is no problem, let's flash people, I don't think there is a special biological induction in a large area around, even if it is joking with you, it is unlikely to appear tonight."

"Woo......"

"By the way, have the thunderbeasts come to you these days?"

"No meow."

"It knows you're in the Daigo Dojo?"

"It knows that I go to the dojo a lot because I have apricot jam to feed meows."

"Oh...... Then I can't be sure if the big rat has long known that you are in the Daigo Dojo or if he found you after a temporary search, anyway, the traces of your activities are still quite obvious, and it is easy for someone to find out, and it is a matter of course that he was followed to the door by Kenji and Xiong Ji," he said while complaining, "Where did the big rat run after giving you the map and the message?" ”

"Didn't pay attention to meow."

"It was a hasty decision for Miss Satoru to release you...... I'll make two guesses, but don't be in a hurry to deny them. ”

"Meow?"

"First of all, from my point of view, who doesn't know about the Thunder Beast, if its message for help is not a prank, then it has another plan, for example, it is indeed calling for help, but its plan is not to let you save it, but to let the big rat draw the attention of the person who imprisons it, and run in other directions to completely escape from the surveillance, so it is ready to draw a map and send a message before leaving here."

"But why did that big rat listen to the thunderbeast?"

"Don't forget that the Thunder Beast is similar to you, the second generation with the super-hard background of the immortal master, and it is very simple to use small knowledge such as secret arts as a reward to tempt the poor little demon in the outside world."

"Makes sense...... But the Thunderbeast never said it was imprisoned or spied on. ”

"Maybe it's just the last few days."

"Meow, but the big rat didn't bring the watchman Meow."

"So that's just speculation, and I didn't notice any spies," I continued, "and the other possibility is that the Thunderbeast is trying to bring you in, uh, some gang, well, to increase your contribution." "There is no doubt that I am thinking of Kobayashi's system of mutual aid groups at this moment.

"Meow! Want to catch me meow? However, there is no one to ambush Meow here," Ah Yi became smarter, "so this guess is not reliable, and besides, Lei Chan will not harm me." ”

"Ah, I thought so," I continued, "so this may not be the Thunderbeast's plot, but the plot of the person behind the Thunderbeast, or imprisoning the Thunderbeast. ”

"Meow! But、It's still like that.、There's no one here to ambush me and catch meow.。 ”

"Ah, because the rat discovered my presence before it found you, the trap that might have been laid here has been reversed."

"Meow! Super reasonable. The little black cat licked its paws, "In that case, Rai-chan might still be caught, and we have to save it." ”

"Don't worry, there are no clues anyway, it's hopeless to look out from here, the time interval is too long, and the people or demons inside are also very careful when they leave, leaving no traces."

"What should I do?" Ah Yi chased his tail and spun around to show his eagerness, "Ah, it's not right Meow, if you want to catch me, if you want to catch me, there is a message from Lei Chan, you can come directly to Daigo Dojo to catch me Meow, why do you use such a troublesome way to lure me here?" ”

"Hehe, because not long ago, two elite monsters experienced a failed capture."

"Meow! Was the Thunderbeast captured by those two bad guys? ”

"Not necessarily," I believe in the judgment given by Chiba Shinji, Kenji's caution makes him not want to fight Ah Yi again in a short period of time, not to mention that Kobayashi personally appeared in the Daigo Dojo tonight, there is no reason to arrange Kenji and other subordinates to carry out other plans in the same place to affect his purpose of finding the target of revenge, "So the thunder beast may be ...... Caught by Reimu? Reimu must have gotten the news of Kenmochi and Kumayoshi's failure to capture Aichi from some source. ”

"Meow? The shrine maiden? I think I've heard the adults say that the shrine maiden has come to the outside world. ”

"Well, although Reimu has created a special small group of monsters, and it is true that the Thunder Beast has also been recruited, but the Thunder Beast should have joined this small group a long time ago, didn't it tell you that it was doing something very interesting, maybe it was rented to perform exciting tasks, or maybe it was to be a training instructor for the little demons in the small group. So there is no reason for Reimu to arrange for it to send a distress letter at this special time today, Reimu has just seen me, of course I know that I will return to the Daigo Dojo, and the plan to lure Ah Yi to this place is very likely to attract me together, and there is no arrangement here......"

"Alice Meow?"

"I'm sorry, I'm about to get dizzy, but it's a very forward-looking speculation that the thunderbeast is likely to join Reimu's small gang."

Ah Yi wagged his tail and said he didn't know what I was talking about.

"Don't worry about the thunder beast yet, it's either already gone, even if it's a trap laid by someone else, it's not dangerous, let's get out of here first."

"Meow."

While leaving the mountain bag and returning to the trail, along the line that Reimu is behind the scenes, I made a natural inference, "Maybe it wasn't Ah Yi who she had arranged to lead away, but me?" Let's go back! ”

"Meow!"
