Chapter 16: Encountering the Enchantment

Shikazawa was still wearing the same enforcer's blue uniform, and the saber that had hung from his waist was gone, replaced by a small crossbow and a few short knives wrapped in leather holsters.

He also carried a good-sized quiver on his back, which was not filled with arrows, but was bulging with props that Twilight didn't understand.

Twilight's original brisk walk turned into a trot, and the ground of the forest was surprisingly flat, and their speed of movement naturally increased.

After a while, Twilight adjusts to their speed, but the silence between the two suddenly becomes conspicuous.

"The edge of the forest...... Is it far away? ”

She didn't have anything to say.

"This forest is smaller than you think, it's just a barrier that has been created."

Shikazawa glanced at Twilight with a little impatience on his face, "If you don't know what to say, you should keep quiet at the right time, and this may save you in the future." ”

Twilight pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The strange thing is that whenever she meets Lu Ze, she will always involuntarily do something that will definitely make her regret later, just like the sentence "use a little brain" in Lu Ze's mouth

It becomes a strange curse that transforms the genius Twilight, who was praised by the teachers at the academy, back into the mediocre and boring high school student Moka in reality.

Twilight lifted her foot and stepped over a tree root in front of her, and Shikazawa pulled up the hem of her uniform and walked briskly over the obstacles.

From here, as if they had strayed from the right path, the branches grew strangely, the ground became muddy, and their speed slowed down.

Shikazawa glanced at Twilight as he climbed over a fallen log with one hand, and to his surprise, Twilight followed his example without saying a word, and even stepped over the obstacle more easily than he did.

Not hearing the expected cry made Lu Ze raise his eyebrows, and he didn't know whether to praise her for a while, or continue to taunt her.

This girl always surprised Shikazawa.

When he thought she was a special person who was in line with the archival level, she acted like an ordinary high school student through and through; When he thinks she is smarter and calmer than ordinary people, she will say some childish and reckless nonsense.

But when Shikazawa was about to give up on her completely, Twilight showed her other side again, which made people look forward to her again.

But none of this really has anything to do with him.

Shikazawa stressed to himself in his heart, and then quickened his pace.

Twilight felt like she had been walking deep into the forest with Shikasawa for a long time, but when she tried to mentally map out the path they had taken, she found that Shikasawa was heading in a straight direction almost straight.

At several turns, Twilight could feel the copper oil lamp in her hand beating strangely, as if trying to guide her to a different direction and return to the preset path of the academy.

That's definitely not an illusion.

But as Shikazawa said, this forest is actually not as big as she imagined, and the road covered by the fog is easy for people to spin in it, but it can be called "you are my coordinates"

's mysterious boy, but it seems to hold the world's most accurate compass, moving forward with a clear goal.

"Here we are."

Shikazawa stopped suddenly.

Twilight couldn't see any difference between this place and the woods they'd walked through before, but Shikazawa pulled a blackened dagger from his waist and carefully swung it in the air in front of him.

"Shhhh

She gasped and looked nervously at the place where Lu Ze had cut it, "What's that." ”

A hollow appeared in mid-air, as if some creature had been wounded, and golden debris began to flow down from the edge of the wound - and what Twilight had seen in the original white room made up "Twilight"

The crumbs of the two big characters are exactly the same.

"No matter how real the virtual world is, it is essentially a number."

Shikazawa frowned, "I don't want to remind you of this anymore. ”

"So this is, how many jΓΉ overflow?"

Twilight has always disliked the ever-changing virtual technology of modern times, and being an orphan does not provide her with extra money to spend on expensive electronic gadgets, and the qiΔ“ in front of her seems to be beyond her comprehension, but she instinctively sticks out her finger.

"Three inches to the left, then up."

Twilight said sleepwalking.

Without even thinking about it, he moved the dagger in his hand as Twilight said.

As if it had touched something hard, the dagger made a "click"

With a bang, it was stuck.

Shikazawa looked slightly stunned, put down the quiver on his back, and took out a rope from it and handed it to Twilight.

"Throw this in."

He said, "Shake hard, and pull." ”

Twilight took the rope in confusion and subconsciously threw it into the extra hole in the air.

"Oops!"

A child's voice came from within.

"What's that?"

Twilight waited for Shikazawa in horror, "We're going to be discovered?" ”

Lu Ze pursed his lips and said simply and clearly, "Pull." ”

Twilight hurriedly stretched out her hand.

"Wow! I was finally able to come out of the inside under it! ”

The child's voice was closer to them, "I miss the land so much!" ”

The first thing that emerged from the hole was the ears of a pink ragdoll rabbit.

Literal rabbit ears.

Its surface was scratched by sharp objects in several places, and the dusty cotton was directly exposed to the air.

Then came its head, its buttoned eyes loosened and dangling on its face, a large piece of the black crystal that was used as its nose was missing, and the rest was pitifully glued to the blooming cotton.

"Are you the guardian of the enchantment?"

Shikazawa raised his crossbow at the dirty, ugly Ragdoll Rabbit.

"It's not a guardian below, it's innocent below!"

The rabbit immediately raised his hands and feet, and then immediately turned his head in place, "I won't do anything down there!" Don't drive back under the in! ”

Shikazawa was unmoved.

He pulled out a short knife from his waist and pointed the hilt at Twilight for her to take it, "Then why can't the barrier be opened?" ”

Twilight took the dagger and lifted it up with what she had learned in her basic martial arts class.

"The Dean is closed! I don't know! The power of the Dean is absolute! Didn't do anything under it! ”

The rabbit tried to bury his head between his hands, but his left hand, which had been cut off in half, could not do it well.

"Make it clear."

Shikazawa asked.

"Lord Dean has closed the passage between here and the Annai Continent, and I'm just an exiled rabbit below, and I don't know anything below!"

The rabbit secretly looked up at them, and after coming into contact with Lu Ze's cold gaze, he immediately buried his head again, "I was thrown away by the dean, and I wandered in the fog for a long time, and I arrived here unconsciously, and I don't know anything below!" ”

Shikazawa tentatively took a few steps forward, and randomly stepped on the rabbit's ears that were hanging on the ground with a quick and ruthless kick.

"Wow! Wow! Don't hurt in the next! Don't hurt in the next! ”

"Shut up."

As soon as Lu Ze's words fell, the rabbit immediately covered his three-petal mouth sewn out by cotton thread, and he didn't know what words in his mouth were blocked.

Lu Ze looked at it with critical eyes, "It's not you who is the obstacle I encountered?" ”

The rabbit shook his head quickly, and waited for Lu Ze to move his feet away before he said carefully, "It's not down." ”

As if seeing Shikazawa's disgust at its loud barking, the rabbit's words were soft and low, "It's just because this young lady has regained her freedom." ”

It glanced gratefully at Twilight, who was standing aside.

Facing the rabbit's trust, its broken and old buttonholes reflecting a little tear, Twilight put down the short knife in her hand, "What's the matter with the dean?" ”
