0120. Nighttime disappearances for no reason
On the same day, Ares and Bruder landed successfully.
The circulating currency of the misty world is also gold, silver and copper coins, with different shapes and different coats of arms, but the demons have been here a few times, so the two of them don't have to worry about running out of money to spend.
At dinner time, Ares fasted.
After Teacher Matthew returned, she had a late-night snack every day, and naturally developed the habit of skipping dinner.
Brude, the "Demon Butler", came over with a plate of fruit, knocked on the door first, and then entered the door after receiving an answer.
At this time, Ares was dressed in men's clothes, and the sunset outside the window had not yet completely set, but there were not many pedestrians on the road.
"Master, eat fruit." Bruder said respectfully.
"Thanks, but no."
Ares has seen the appearance of the Shimen World after encountering Bruder, when the demon race and the divine realm were in a hostile relationship, and now they are in an alliance, but in the bottom of her heart, Ares still doesn't want to deal with this demon king.
The Spirit Demon King Brud didn't want to, but he didn't want to, the misty world was full of dangers, and the man behind Ares was the biggest protection.
Now that I have my thighs hugged, I can save my life at a critical moment.
Moreover, the woman on the other side went back and said a few bad words about Bruder in the man's ear, even if he could get out of the territory of the evil god alive, he would not live for a few more days.
In that battle more than a year ago, the Demon Realm lost dozens of Demon Kings, and more than 90% of them were killed by that man.
Immediately, the old demon king smiled and said, "Young master, we have just come here, it's right to be cautious." β
Ares asked, "What exactly is the ban on nighttime?" β
Since Bruder dared to come, he came prepared, "You can also see that everything is normal during the day in Chloe, but strange things often happen at night. β
"About five years ago, a little boy disappeared in the town, the boy was playful, he was still shooting the ball outside when it was dark, and when his mother came out to find him for dinner, the boy was already missing."
"A month later, another child went missing, and the number of missing children in a year was in the double digits."
"Since then, at night, adults don't dare to let the children out of the house......
If it ends here, it's okay, but the key is no.
Just two months after the law prohibiting children from going out at night was issued, two homeless men disappeared for no apparent reason.
This shows that the power to take away missing persons is not limited to children.
After the investigation of the disappearance of adults was still fruitless, Mayor Van Rowe hurriedly issued a blanket ban.
Since then, the nights in Locke Town have been as quiet as the suburbs, and families are closed and they go to bed early, because only when the sun rises the next day can they return to their normal lives.
Looking at the fading sun, Ares bowed her head slightly and asked, "Have there been any disappearances recently?" β
"Yes, a week ago, Vanloach's granddaughter went missing," Bruder said. β
"The reason or? β¦β¦β
"That's right, young master, that little girl violated the ban."
Hearing this, Ares wanted to say that it was very good, but the people of the Misty World are also fresh lives.
"Tomorrow we're going to visit Mayor Locke, nominally...... Well, we're exorcists from afar, and Locke Town has monsters at work, so maybe we can help Van Rock find his missing granddaughter. β
Spirit Demon King Bruder: (β_β)......
Speaking of monsters, he is now the biggest monster in the Mist World.
Ares went to the mayor of the town, Van Locke, and expelled Brude, who had turned into a demon king, which was the most convincing.
However, Ares didn't realize this verse, or didn't care.
"How's the investigation of the sun god and the moon god?"
"The country where Locke Town is located is all believers in the god of the sun."
Bruder replied, "Yes, because they believe in the sun and the moon god has abandoned them, so there is a disappearance here for no reason." β
"!" Ares was a little angry, "The righteous gods reject the infidels, but the sun and the moon have nothing to do with each other, where can there be such a great grudge between the gods who do not have a competitive relationship, according to this statement, those who believe in the moon can only stay at home during the day, otherwise they will die?" β
Spirit Demon King Bruder: "......"
He was just a vulgar demon king, who was not clear about the affairs of the divine realm, and was not interested in it.
β¦β¦
It's dark.
The windows of the room close on their own.
The sound of "clang" was constant, and it sounded like the windows of the entire street were closing together.
Magic?
No, in order to prevent accidents, the windows of every house in Locke Town are fitted with closing devices.
When the time comes, it will be launched uniformly, and it will be opened again tomorrow.
It's not very human.
The opening and closing of your own windows do not listen to your own, and it is true.
But no matter what, it's better than losing one's life, and no one knows what exactly caused the disappearance.
The unknown is the scariest thing for people.
There is also the issue of habit.
The story of opening and closing the windows was met with fierce opposition at first, but after a long time, the residents got used to it and no longer became emotional.
"Tuk tuk" ~
A hotel waiter knocked on the door of the room.
"Two guests, it's dark, wash up and rest as soon as possible, the door of the hotel has been closed, please rest assured, as long as you stay in the room, there will be no accidents."
After saying this, the waiter turned around and left, taking three steps and making two steps, as if a monster was chasing him behind him.
Seeing this, the men's version of Ares said: "The inhabitants here are already scared. β
Spirit Demon King Bruder chimed in, "Yes, humans are a group of very timid creatures. β
Ares glared at him.
Bruce immediately confessed.
Although from the perspective of the Demon King, humans are no different from ants.
Look at the time.
Half past seven.
Ares decided, "Take a half-hour break, and leave at eight o'clock to take a look outside." β
Brude: ΙΏ(. ο½₯Ιο½₯)ΙΎββββ£οΌ
Agree to visit Mayor Locke tomorrow and then investigate the disappearance.
Ares ignored him, "I want to see what monsters are hiding in the night!" β
β¦β¦
Next door.
The old peasant-like Brude opened and closed the door, and his mouth was full of spouts, "I know, I especially know, with a spoiled woman, there is no good fruit to eat!" β
"Anyone who is not sick in the brain knows that when you come to a strange place, caution must come first."
"I went to the S-class world, and I didn't say that I was a big man, evil gods, a group of crazy people, although I haven't seen them, I know that they are crazy people when I hear their deeds."
The evil gods came to explore their way through the cracks in the Golden Thorn World, and all of them were suicidal.
The only one who was arrested was in the goddess world, and I heard that the great mother goddess Hera had used many methods, but she couldn't pry a word out of the mouth of the evil god.
How did the three top A-rank demon kings die and go crazy in the misty world?
You know, they've only been here for three days.
And their task is even easier than this time, just ask for news about the evil gods, and it doesn't matter if you don't.
