In the eyes of the two Qingye, the old and rough city approached them with its mouth open.

The walls of the town are made of grayish or dark stone, taken from the Lost Lands itself.

Due to the sparse population in the Lost Land all year round, and there are no drastic geological changes like the surface world, these rocks that remain on the surface of the earth, if you pick out a random piece, may be many times older than Aono.

It's just that, for human beings, a stone is just a stone after all.

No matter how long it takes, they can only become part of the artificially constructed products as dead creatures.

Naturally, Aono won't be unrecognizable by this familiar town—this is the Stone Town where Aono and Tachibana Rei met the last time they were in the Lost Lands.

But here's the problem.

Aono chooses the direction to go, relying entirely on his instincts to pick the most dangerous side.

And now, this town, which has a lot of fate with Aono, is impressively in the direction of extreme danger that Aono perceives - you know, even the overwhelming bomb jellyfish swarm before is only the level of "ordinary danger" for Aono.

With a little comparison, you can judge that there is a danger hidden in this town that can endanger Aono's life!

Aono's face was not good-looking.

If the interior of Stone Town is full of dangers, then where are the residents who lived in Stone Town now?

To be honest, in the past half a year, Aoye has seen no longer a few sacrifices.

Whether it was the sacrifice within the Tokyo Rangers or the death of those innocent civilians, no matter how many times he saw it, he was not easy to accept.

It's just that he didn't have emotions before, so he couldn't quite understand what kind of mood it was.

The current Aono may not be able to fully understand that feeling.

Maybe it's empathy for being one kind, or something.

But all in all, Aono doesn't want to see people die before his eyes, especially acquaintances who know him.

"Do you want to go in?"

Aono turned his head to look at Hino and asked for his opinion.

No matter what, he himself wants to go in, but it is not easy to protect the weak Yuki Hino in this state.

But when he turned his head to take a look, he found that the appearance on Hino's face was not fear, nor was it fear.

But......

Excited!

Agitated!

There was still undisguised excitement, his eyes widened, his usually pale face flushed red, and he breathed heavily.

There seemed to be an invisible flame burning in his gloomy eyes.

It seems that what he saw was not a dangerous and desolate city, but a treasure full of precious treasures!

Such a change is enough to surprise Aono.

Because to be honest, when he met Hino Yuki ten days ago, Aono had already seen that Hino Yuki's spirit seemed to have been sucked away by something, and now all that was left was a body like a walking corpse, with the last obsession in his heart, supporting him to tell Aono all kinds of information about the future.

Even if he heard Aono agree to him, the flame of hope was only short-lived, and maybe there was some acting for Aono to see.

But at the moment, Hino Yuki seems to have suddenly become more angry.

"For the first time!"

Hino's lips trembled, and he was as excited as he was to hear the voice "Born!" outside the delivery room. The husband shouted hoarsely.

"For the first time! It's the first time we've found this town so smoothly. ”

Aono was stunned.

I quickly understood why Yuki Hino was so excited.

Hino could see countless possibilities for the future, and if Stone Town had some special meaning, it wasn't the first time he'd seen it.

However, listening to him, the process of coming to Stone Town several times in the past was not as smooth as this one.

The future is an infinite number of lines that spread forward, and since the front end of this line has undergone unknown changes, it means that it belongs to the future of the end of the world, which reduces the likelihood by a few points.

A bright future that could not have been seen at all is possible!

Such a change undoubtedly gave Hino a dose of stimulant.

It's this emotion, I'm afraid there won't be a second person who can understand it except himself.

"Let's go."

Hino's enthusiasm has never been higher, and he took the lead in front of Aono and walked towards Stone Town, while telling some of the information he had received earlier.

"This stone town is a dead city......

......

A moment later.

Aono and the two walked to the gate of Stone Town.

To Aono, not much had changed here, and even the large ravines on the city walls felt a little familiar to him.

Even if the experience of this period of time is described in words, and it is impossible to write without hundreds of thousands of words, the actual time is only three or four months.

However, according to Hino Yuki, Stone Town has long been a human being.

"Click."

Aono accidentally stepped on a small piece of gravel.

Again, the two of them had already stepped inside the city gates.

But with such a step, the scene that Aono saw changed like never before.

Large clouds of thick black mist enveloped them, covering their field of vision.

For a moment, it was as if I had fallen into complete pure darkness.

And you know, in the last second, they couldn't see any anomalies from the outside, and Aono's inspiration didn't give any hints.

But after taking a step, it's a completely different picture.

Such a strange situation is the first time even Aono has seen it.

Fortunately, Hino Yuki had told Aono before entering the city, so he wasn't too surprised.

And with a movement of the mind, use the pores of the body to absorb the fog around you.

Aono's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly gave up Fang Cai's move.

If there is only a second prompt, there is a high probability that Aono will not listen to the warning of the panel and continue to absorb.

Anyway, the "unknown" changes he encountered have long been not a matter of one or two times, and it doesn't matter if he has more than this one.

But the last sentence has to be taken seriously by Aono.

It was not easy for him to turn the black mist back to the state of "about to break through", and if something went wrong at this moment, maybe there would never be a chance to hear that immature voice again.

At this time, Aono also tasted the taste of that little bit of mutant mist.

It's like opening a five-flavor shop in my mind, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, all kinds of flavors come to my heart at the same time, and it is very stimulating.

In a word, it's hard to eat at home!

For a while, he felt that somewhere in his body was hot and uncomfortable, proving that absorbing this mutated mist would not only be of any benefit to him, but would have a negative effect.

Only then did Aono dispel the method of violent devouring to solve this pure darkness.

In fact, this point, Hino Yuki also told Aono before entering the city that he couldn't solve this darkness.

But listening is listening, but when it really comes to the eyes, Aono still has to give it a try.

But it's not like Aono doesn't have other ways to deal with it.

The black mist in his body also spread.

The two types of black fog look almost the same, but they are actually very different.

The black mist emanating from Aono's body, each of which was tiny particles, was like a little monster jumping around, roaring and arrogantly rushing towards the surrounding mutant mist, screaming.

To be precise, they are all alive.

It is a collection of countless fine particles, and the previous black mist spirit is also their overall spirit intelligence.

They do inherit some of Aono's qualities, such as swallowing, such as greed.

On the other hand, these so-called "fog of loss", although they do have very strange characteristics, they look ...... Numb? It's not as spiritual as the fog of the first Lost.

It's a strange feeling, but it's a reality that Aono feels.

It's as if in order to obtain that strange mutation, the Lost Mist also obliterates some of its original characteristics.

But anyway.

Around Aono, it was like opening a barrier that was not too big or small.

Even Qingye's greedy black mist didn't dare to devour the surrounding mutant kindred at this time.

Oh no, it's not so much that I don't dare, but rather "disgust" and "disgust", as if there is an instinctive dislike for this existence.

So just keep them out of the barrier around them.

Aono's own black fog naturally wouldn't obscure his vision, allowing him to see the picture not far away from him.

Hino stood honestly where he was, he was now completely blind - the sudden darkness would cause a lot of fear to any human, let alone this "pure" pitch black.

Hino's performance is enough to show that he is firm in mind and is not easily moved by external objects.

"Let's go."

Aono squeezed aside the mutant black mist, and then concentrated his black mist on the edge of the barrier, a clean and blank space, generated around the two of them.

Let Yuki Hino also see the surroundings clearly.

"Aono-kun."

Hino Yuki spoke, and his voice was much softer, as if he was worried about disturbing the mysterious existence in this stone city.

"Be careful."

He was silent for a moment, then added.

"Fifty percent of the future I see will all die here."

Aono was silent, and finally said lightly.

"Isn't fifty percent enough?"

Hino was stunned.

The two walked together in Stone Town.

Aono was observing the surrounding scene all the way, and he had to admit that just as Yuki Hino said, Stone Town was an out-and-out dead city.

There weren't any living people here, similar to what Aono saw when he came to Stone Town.

Only this time, those living residents are not hidden in the corners of the town, and they may jump out at any time.

Not only Hino's foreknowledge, but Aono's perception also failed to detect the breath of even a living person.

Not only that, but there are no traces of people's lives in these houses that Aono passes by.

Aono deliberately walked into the interior of a house and found that it was empty, leaving no clothes, tableware or anything like that.

That's actually a good thing.

It means that the inhabitants of this place may have fled this place before the disaster struck.

The future that Hino Yuki saw also seemed to indicate that the residents of this place had evacuated this place early.

Thinking of this, Aono breathed a sigh of relief.

No sooner had they searched the stone house and walked out into the street than they heard an unusual footstep behind them.

"Empty! Empty! Empty! ”

The footsteps were dull and crisp, far and near, not like footsteps but like a murmur from them—but Aono could confirm it very clearly, this was the sound of footsteps!

The moment he heard the footsteps, Aono tensed all over his body, and his hairs stood on end.

Nothing else, it was an instinctive reaction of his body.

Hino Yuki is the same, his performance is even more unbearable, cold sweat is sliding down his cheeks, his breathing is short, his chest rises and falls, it is not impossible to say that he died suddenly of a heart attack like this.

Rao is like this, Hino Yuki still gritted his teeth with difficulty, and spit out a few words from between his teeth.

"Aono-kun, don't ...... Back! ”

When it came to the last few words, his words were so light that they were almost inaudible.

Aono originally wanted to go back and find out the source of the footsteps, but when he heard Hino's words, he had to pestle himself as if he hadn't heard the footsteps.

"Null-empty-"

Just as Aono was about to turn his head, the footsteps seemed to suddenly come many times closer.

It's like suddenly coming behind Aono, no more than fifty centimeters.

Aono could even detect a breathing rhythm that seemed to be absent, and the cold chill hit his neck.

The owner of the footsteps seemed to be thinking about where to take the mouth, and the air flow swept back and forth coldly.

Aono was not afraid, and even wanted to go back and punch him.

But since Hino Yuki is such a well-intentioned reminder, he doesn't want to act rashly.

Another two or three minutes passed.

For two or three minutes, every second seemed like a century had passed for Yuki Hino.

The cold sweat soaked all the clothes on his back.

Fortunately, in the end, the footsteps hovering behind them finally faded away.

"Empty ————"

Yuki Hino finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for a while to make sure that the footsteps were inaudible to the naked ear, he said to Aono.

"I've been killed hundreds of times by that 'weird footstep,' that's why I'm so scared."

Aono was slightly stunned.

"Strange footsteps?"

"This is my name for him, the monsters that appear a little more often, I have a rough name, but this is the level of my name, don't dislike it."

"You can look back now."

Aono looked back and saw that there were several huge footprints left on the dirt not far away.

Each footprint is larger than the area on which Aono's body is lying.

I can't see much shape, but I can only say that it looks like the imprint of something like a horse's hooves.

They appear in an irregular position, one foot to the east and one to the west, and they don't look like the footprints of normal creatures.

The closest one is right behind Aono!

Aono couldn't help but be surprised, was there really such a large volume behind him just now?

"Even Qingye you, you have died at His hands, although very rarely."

Yuki Hino continued.

Aono's face is not very good-looking.

"Why the hell is this happening?"
