160. Look, shall I say? (3100)
The Lost Lands.
The Tokyo Rangers are stationed.
It is a valley sandwiched between mountains on both sides, backed on three sides, with only a narrow opening for access.
It is a natural dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Inside the station, houses made of steel and concrete stand in it, the roads are smooth and clean, and there are even a few off-road vehicles parked on the side of the road.
The clothes of the transcendent people are not much different from those of the modern city, but they pay more attention to practicality and ignore aesthetics for the time being.
Most of them wear the special uniforms of the Tokyo Rangers.
This scene is in stark contrast to the Stone Town in the Lost Lands, the primitive tribal state in the strange forest.
It seems to be several generations apart!
At this time, it was already three days after the fall of that brilliant starlight.
"Captain, Captain, what were those meteors two days ago?"
A squad, assembled and ready for an operation.
Before the personnel arrived, the topic of small talk naturally mentioned the meteor shower that no one could ignore three days ago.
It was a young girl who had not been in the Lost Lands for a long time.
Haven't really realized the cruelty of this world.
Even in her mind, this gorgeous meteor shower still has some kind of romantic color.
If someone had confessed to me at that time, I would not have refused! ’
'Of course, handsome!' ’
The girl thought to herself.
The captain with a vicissitudes of life smiled bitterly.
He has been stationed in the Lost Land for a long time, and he has seen many things clearly.
The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.
But the captain did not debunk the girl's beautiful fantasy - people always need to have hope in order to live.
Not far away, at the entrance of the valley, there was an uproar.
The girl and the rest of the team couldn't help but look away.
"Oh hoo!"
The girl let out a strange exclamation at the sight of the man where all eyes were converging.
He's too good-looking, right?
Her pretty face was red, her eyes were glued to the man, and she didn't want to leave for a moment.
The girl couldn't help but think of the previous meteor shower - if he confessed, it would be too romantic!
Just glanced at the man, and the girl thought of everything from confession, to what happened to Se (meow), to how many children should be born, and even what to choose the child's name!
To put it simply, she was thinking about peaches!
Aono has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze that attracts him like a magnet.
It's normal to want to eat peaches.
Now by his side, only Rin Tamagawa and Mika Kishida floating beside him remain.
Taiichi Kaneshiro consciously acted as a tool man, and went to an acquaintance in this station to arrange matters related to leaving the Lost Land.
As for Tomie.
It was Qingye that they had said goodbye before they came to this gathering place of transcendentals.
Her identity is a wanted criminal at large, so naturally she can't leave the lost land through official channels.
Before parting, Tomie naturally seized the precious opportunity.
With Aono's permission, taste the taste of his blood.
Because the process is a little astringent, it is not convenient to describe it here.
In a word.
Tomie: The taste is very good, after entering the mouth, it is almost as expected, the quality is excellent, it is very comfortable to suck, I want to come next time!
Tomie's only grievance was probably that Aono had allowed her to absorb only a little bit of blood.
- It's really only a little bit!
It won't exceed ten milliliters, which is about the amount of two fat house happy water bottle caps.
I don't know how much less blood Aono sucked from her.
It made Tomie very dissatisfied and extremely resentful.
But her request of "I still want it~" was ruthlessly rejected by Aono.
In addition to this, Tomie also mentions that many of the believers she killed in the Lost Lands seem to be related to the black fog that appears in the surface world.
Aono took this to heart.
Now what Aono and the others have to do is very simple, that is, - go home!
Ida Ryoma once warned Aono that outsiders should not stay in the Lost Land for too long, otherwise they might never be able to leave.
Aono has his own conjectures about this.
He has learned that the watch world has its own protection mechanism.
Automatically excludes beings from the inner world, such as those whose corpses are indescribable, and whose bodies cannot stay in the outer world for long periods of time.
As a gap between two worlds, the Lost Land will inevitably have different characteristics from the surface world.
Wait until the degree of accumulation of this trait comes to a critical point.
I'm afraid I won't be able to pass through the Lost Lands and return to the surface world.
This is exactly the same as Aono's conjecture, and scholars from the Tokyo Rangers, who specialize in the Lost Lands, have come to a similar conclusion.
In addition to the reason that this had to leave.
Aono still misses the small house where Kanda Yukie is.
Besides, Tamagawa Asaka is outside, so she must have been worried about it for a long time, right?
At the mention of Tamagawa Asaka, Aono turned his head to look at Tamagawa Rin.
Her mood was still a little low.
just barely made a calm gesture - after learning the truth of everything, she only felt uncomfortable in her heart.
It is said that the separation is just for a better reunion.
But people know that it's just chicken soup to comfort themselves.
There are too many differences, and they can't be reunited.
Aono and Tamagawa Rin's relationship is not good enough to comfort her, so it is better to wait until she leaves the Lost Land and let Mrs. Tamagawa take care of her daughter.
"Aono-kun, you're all set!"
Kaneshiro Taiichi trotted to Aono's side, with a respectful attitude.
After what happened in that forest, Taichi Kaneshiro had become a fanatical believer in Aono.
To put it in a less appropriate way, it's an old licking dog.
Aono felt that it was unnecessary, but he couldn't stand Taiichi Kaneshiro's insistence on facing him with this attitude.
The formalities of getting through the Lost Lands are not complicated.
A person with an official background like Taichi Kaneshiro led the way, and after registering again, it was easy to pass through the passage.
Come to a room where you can wait.
- The opening of the entrance and exit of the Lost Lands is similar to the setting of bullet trains, shuttle buses, etc., and will be opened every once in a while.
Aono: They came just in time.
As soon as they entered the waiting room, the transcendents in front of them began to move forward, entering an invisible door one by one.
Similar to the state when entering the Lost Lands.
The aura of chaos spreads through the room, making people feel a little disoriented.
But the good guys here are all transcendental, or relatively unusual, and this sense of loss is really nothing.
However, many female transcendents silently slowed down their pace after seeing Aono.
I want to have a chat with Aono.
It's also great to add a contact information or something.
Qingye watched them keep approaching him, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold and shivering on a hot day, and it was so difficult for good-looking people to queue up normally This society is full of oppression of handsome guys, when will our handsome guys really stand up?
Thinking about it casually in his heart, Aono smiled gently.
"Ladies first, you first."
The handsome smile only made their hearts tremble, and the deer in their chests was about to be hit to death.
But I can feel the sense of distance in Aono's smile again.
Although it was a pity, I had no choice but to walk towards the door.
When almost all the transcendents had left the Lost Land, Aono motioned for Rin Tamagawa and them to walk ahead of him.
"For"
Rin Tamagawa wanted to subconsciously ask a rhetorical question, but during this time, Aono left too much authority and deep impression on her.
After thinking about it, I don't want to be bored, and I do it honestly.
As for Taichi Kaneshiro, it was even more to carry out Aono's instructions without saying a word.
Mika Kishida was also taken with them.
"This gentleman"
In the last room, only Aono remained, and there was an official transcendent who was in charge of guarding the exit.
is a young woman in her twenties and thirties, and she belongs to the kind of calm and quiet character.
Even if his gaze quietly stayed on Aono, he didn't make any other movements in a reserved manner.
At this time, it was finally a strange question.
This gentleman seems to be deliberately preparing to leave at the end?
If it were a different person, she might think that the other party's behavior was very suspicious, and it might be that she wanted to do some sabotage.
However, Aono was so good-looking that she didn't have such a guess.
"I'm just worried that some accidents will happen to me using your exit."
Aono explained with a smile.
The caretaker also smiled, relieved in his heart, and said in a confident tone.
"Sir, don't worry, this outlet has been skillfully used by us for hundreds of years, and there hasn't been an accident yet!"
"You don't have to be that nervous."
"Oh? Is it? ”
Aono's expression was slightly strange.
"Let me ask you in advance, if something goes wrong, the blame can't be blamed on me."
The caretaker glanced at Aono who was so careful, it was the first time he had seen it!
This is not a machine, how can there be such a thing as a failure?
For the sake of him being so good-looking, it's better to forgive him.
So again.
"Don't worry, there really won't be a fault."
Aono seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well, I'm going in."
Then he took a step and walked out.
"Click!"
Aono's body disappeared half of it, and an abrupt cracking sound suddenly sounded.
"Huh?"
A look of astonishment began to appear on the face of the young lady of the caretaker.
"Click!"
The sound of shattering was heard again.
Around the perimeter, a glass-like refractive color appears and tends to shatter.
A heavy pressure began to spread nearby.
If you are an ordinary person, at the heart of this pressure, maybe your bones will be crushed.
Aono is naturally different from ordinary people, and even if the pressure comes, he can still move freely.
He looked back, the expression on his face a little innocent.
It's like saying, "Look, I'll just say, right?" ”
But the footsteps remained steadfast and walked outward, until the back disappeared.
"Click-"
The sound of glass being shattered was sharp and piercing.
The young lady was completely stupid.
The beautiful eyes are dull, and the expression is like a clay sculpture.
"It turns out that this one is really going to malfunction."
The transcendents in the station quickly noticed the anomaly and hurried to take a look.
They were all amazed by the anomalies at the entrances and exits of the Lost Lands.
For a week after that, it was in a state of discontinuation until it recovered naturally.
This has also become a strange story talked about by transcendentals.
