Chapter 2: The Chaser in the Mist

The white figure is adorned with beautiful purple edges. Bouncing around, the White Shadow was looking for something.

She had purple shawl hair that looked like satin, decorated with a black headband. Big amber eyes kept searching left and right. She hummed a little song as she walked alone in the thick fog.

"Huh? The two big brothers disappeared all of a sudden~ But what...... Ling knows it~"

But the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl showed a confident look, she squinted her eyes, and her round and lovely eyes suddenly became narrow and full of feminine charm.

She had a small hand, and the golden particles seemed to be condensed in his hand as if they were alive, and the brush turned into a huge black gold war sickle, and without looking back, the girl operated the sickle with her backhand, and cut through the mist behind her.

With two bangs, the two men in black were hit in response.

The former held a throwing knife in his hand, and the latter used his long whip-like hair, and the two blocked the attack.

"Big brothers are really, you can't do such rude things to ladies!"

She smiled, like a little devil who had succeeded in his scheme.

You looked around exaggeratedly: "Lady? Where? ”

Yue didn't react in any other way, standing by Yu's side like a bodyguard.

"What a luxurious lineup. What about the moon and the wind, what is it, the stealth combination? ”

Ling pinched the corners of her skirt while showing an innocent and cute smile to the two.

However, neither of them will feel that this girl is an innocent and cute little girl.

The executor of the Devouring Serpent is something that no one can underestimate.

She used to be the executor of the Snake of Body, just like Tsuki.

"Hey, executors and guerrillas...... No, a combination with the police? It's getting more and more interesting. Is this fog Luciola? ”

Ling asked the two with a grin. When You was still thinking about whether to get out of her with her, Yue had already answered first.

"It's a phantom."

"Hey! That makes sense! I'll just say why it feels so weird. It turned out that they were confusing me as an enemy. If it's a phantom, it's understandable that the fog manipulation technique is not as good as Luciola's. ”

Ling looked suddenly enlightened. Then, she walked to the corner of the wall with small steps and patted the lamppost.

"Sister Luciola's fog only confuses outsiders."

You did not refute. In fact, this was the first time he had known this information. The fog, which only works on enemies, is a really difficult thing to deal with.

"Speaking of which, what are the big brothers going to do?"

Ling jumped in front of you like a kitten that couldn't stop for a moment.

"Clear the fog. This thing is too much of an eyesore. At least make it go away first. ”

You said calmly.

A warrior of his level can rely on the Qiyao veins in the earth to find his way, coupled with his understanding on weekdays, not to mention the dense fog, even if it is pitch black that can't see anything, he can safely walk to any house.

But not for others. This fog will affect the traffic safety of vehicles, the safety of children, and the work efficiency of citizens. What's more, the enemy releases such a fog, and it will definitely not be as simple as affecting the line of sight.

In short, let the fog disappear first.

The only people who can do this in Crossbell are himself and Crutz. Fangshu is the technique of using qi to communicate heaven and earth, and since this is fog, then as long as you follow the corresponding way to the formation of Crossbell, you can dispel it.

You carefully surveyed his surroundings.

In fact, if he hadn't been able to perceive the correct position through the Qiyao Vein, he would have been confused himself.

The place where he is now should have been East Street, but the surrounding buildings are West Street and the port, and there are fragments of buildings in the old town and the administrative district. Of course, this is just an illusion. But for an ordinary person, this degree is enough to make him lose his way in the fog.

"Hey, that sounds like fun! Ling is also joining the team! ”

Ling jumped behind Yu as quickly as a nimble cat, looking like she would follow me if you didn't promise me.

You shook his head helplessly and made a killer move.

"Maybe we'll run into Estelle!"

After Liberal's series of mutations, after learning Rei's true identity and true origin, Estelle and Joshua have made up their minds to adopt Rei. However, Ling always avoided them, intentionally or unintentionally. Yu Tatsumi judged that mentioning the names of these two people would definitely make Ling retreat.

"Well, just run away at that time~ If it's so foggy, Peek-a-boo is Ling's strongest! I'm curious to know how Big Brother is going to break through the phantom fog. ”

Ling looked at Yu with a girl's innocent expression.

In the end, you compromised. There is no particular reason to refuse.

He already knew that the Snake was playing tricks, and he believed that the Snake knew that he was investigating the mist. Instead of rejecting the people associated with the association, it is better to do the opposite, get involved with the people of the association, and bring yourself closer to the organization.

It's a practice of playing with fire. But you don't hate it. He never hated dangerous things.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Whoop Woohoo ......

The sound of flustered breathing.

Bang ......

Panicked footsteps.

Knock knock knock......

The sound of a panicked heartbeat.

The two children ran quickly hand in hand, and suddenly a dark alley appeared in the fog, and the two of them broke into it without thinking, and their small backs were only against the cold wall, and they breathed heavily to calm themselves.

"Long, Long......"

"Don't be afraid, Henry, that thing won't find here!"

Long tried to comfort Henry, who was about to cry.

Originally, the two of them were just playing, and things they hadn't seen before always made the children excited. Especially something as romantic as fog, if they say that the clouds in the sky are falling, they will naively look for where the goddess of the void is. Parents have more or less knowledge about fog, thinking that the fog will dissipate after about an hour and a half, and the result is ...... The children ran farther and farther, the fog became thicker and thicker, and when the parents felt that something was wrong, the world was already white and no one could see it.

And just as the two of them were looking around for the others, the monster appeared.

The two children couldn't see it clearly in their panic, but they knew that it was very large. It seems to merge with the fog, making it difficult to see its true face. I only know that it is something that can only be described by the word hideous.

It gasped heavily, as if it could hear saliva clattering on the ground. The two children snuggled up to each other, afraid that the monster would find them.

Suddenly, there was light in the dark alley.

Inauspicious, ferocious, blood-red light. With the ferocity of a beast.

They were discovered!

"Run!"

Long grabbed Henry's hand and hurried to the other end. But a child is a child after all, and his physical strength is limited. After such a terrifying pursuit battle, the physical strength of the two children reached the limit, and when they were pulled by Long, Henry didn't react, and Puff was dragged down by Long!

Long didn't pull it, but he was also pulled down in reverse!

The monster was too large to enter the alley for the time being, and it used something like a claw to stretch out its claws to the children who were trembling in the alley.

"Help!!"
