"Welcome home, Xiaoru~" As soon as she stepped out of the teleportation device, the red-haired girl was picked up and turned around twice by a very dignified and elegant woman in Tsing Yi with a very unelegant movement, and touched her head vigorously: "It seems that you have grown a lot taller, are you still happy outside?" ”

"Lan, Aunt Lan? You put me down first," Yiru was startled at first, but quickly recognized the person in charge of the Yuhang Ranger Guild in front of him: "There are a few friends behind ......"

"Oh, I'm going to be shy," Ding Xianglan rubbed her hair, put the girl down and turned to the exit of the teleporter: "It just so happens that Yu Hang is a little troublesome now, let's see if the people you brought can handle it." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Trouble?" Yiru looked at the dark sky and the brightly lit Yuhang Market outside the window: "How do you feel a little familiar......

"Isn't this a little tiger? It seems that the progress is not small. When Siyu and Qiqi came out, Ding Xianglan just smiled at them, but the Demon Knife Man was not so lucky, and was patted on the shoulder by Aunt Lan vigorously, as if he couldn't stand it.

"Aunt Lan, we came here in response to the request of the Yuhang Ranger Guild, and it is a business matter," Wang Xiaohu let her slap and not dodge: "Please explain the content to us as soon as possible......

"Of course I know, you have already contacted in advance if you want to come to Shushan," Ding Xianglan looked at Chichao and Ye Feng who came out: "Come down with me." ”

……

The lobby on the first floor of the Ranger Guild is brightly lit, there are several rangers of unknown rank handing over tasks at the counter, and the shopping street outside the door is also open as usual, and everyone seems to be used to this strange but harmless night.

Although it is not harmful, such a dark night is still very strange, because there are no stars in the sky at all, as if someone has covered the whole sky with a large black cloth.

"We call this event 'Eternal Night,'" Lilac called the young and girly rangers and supernumeracy staff to sit down on either side of a long table, and she stood at the head of the table and began to explain: "Specifically, it happened six days ago in the morning, no, maybe it happened in the evening seven days ago, and the residents got up that day according to their usual habits, only to find that the sun did not rise in the east as usual. ”

"Everyone must have been very panicked at the time...... Qiqi also experienced a similar thing in the capital, and said with a little empathy: "Then there will be a strange moon with a total lunar eclipse in the dark night here?" ”

"Six or seven days ago...... Counting the date, could it be that the old wolf escaped here? Yiru said as she glanced at Chi Chao, whose expression on her face had not changed at all, and turned back to Aunt Lan: "Then what countermeasures has the guild formulated?" ”

"What old wolf, Moon?" Apparently Ding Xianglan did not know the details of the changes in the capital, and she pointed to the lively street market outside that seemed to be completely unaffected by the eternal night: "In the past few days, we have cooperated with the catchers of the county government to pacify the residents, so that they can still live according to their normal schedule, and promise to solve the monster who caused this incident soon." ”

"Has it been confirmed that it was a youkai?" Siyu was a little surprised by the efficiency of the Yuhang Ranger Guild: "Where is it?" ”

"It's not sure, but you can't say it to the residents, the plan for the investigation has been formulated, but no one can carry it out," Ding Xianglan spread her hands: "In the past few days, we have to appease the emotions of the people in the city and send more people to protect the residents living outside the city, and the number of rangers that the guild can use now is already stretched." ”

"So we're sending charcoal in the snow?" Yiru touched her nose: "So Aunt Lan, is there anything we can help with your plan?" ”

"Another reason for the lack of manpower is the problem of strength," the guild leader looked around them, "Because even if this dark night is a demon playing ghosts, but now it is a real night, many not very strong monsters will increase in strength, and even some monsters that do not attack people will become very violent, so when sending less powerful rangers to investigate, the number of people must not be small-but you don't seem to have this problem." ”

"Of course." Ye Feng shook his handsome hair that seemed to be shining, and the starling on Siyu's shoulder also cooperated: "[I am already invincible in the world]!" ”

"To find the black hand that created this night, you must confirm the scope of this night and find its center," Lilac Orchid ignored the two ostentatious creatures and continued to explain: "The north gate is the dock and the sea, I need you to explore how far beyond the other three gates is no longer night." ”

"That means to divide the troops?" Chi Chao crossed his arms and nodded: "There won't be any powerful monsters here." ”

"No, you have to be together, because I can't be sure that you won't encounter that monster on your way to investigate," Aunt Lan tapped on the mission book, "In fact, your combined strength has just exceeded my estimated enemy strength - don't be busy retorting, who will independently create such a dark night for me to see?" ”

"That must have used some kind of mechanism made by strange bad people...... Qiqi whispered, it seemed that she had been angry about the earthquake in the capital: "It doesn't mean that he is strong." ”

"Seventy-seven, is it? I've heard of you," Lilac Orchid was obviously more tolerant of the cute Little Red Riding Hood, and walked up to her and crouched down, "Even if he relies on a mechanism, have you seen one that can cause this effect before?" I think you're probably going to destroy or control it with your own knowledge, but what if it's beyond your power? Or maybe that Black Hand has some other aggressive device of the same level? For the safety of the rangers, I always have to assume that the worst is what happens. ”

“…… I'm sorry. The little girl was convinced: "I will act with everyone." ”

"Good," Ding Xianglan touched her head, took out three miniature devices like short sticks, and handed them to her: "Poke him into the ground at the junction of day and night outside the three city gates, and we can use the three-point positioning method to find the center of this dark night." ”

"Huh? This, is it, won't it, how can I, grandpa really. After taking the short stick, Qiqi fell into a state of non-stop jumping short sentences after a brief inspection, and the person in charge waved his hand vigorously in front of her eyes but did not respond.

"Don't worry, she's always been like this," the red-haired girl stood up and hugged Qiqi, "Then we're going to go?" ”

"Oh, be careful on the road," Ding Xianglan thought for a while and added: "When I saw Zhang Fan, that kid remembered to come back, it's not far from the city, and he just refused to let him come in and hide, and wasted the manpower sent to protect him." ”
