121. Little phoenix
"What's wrong with you?"
Although he already had a guess in his heart, Merlin still confirmed to the werewolf girl who had already put on a fighting pose with an attitude of "what if I thought too much".
Red glanced at the tall demon beside him, but his heart was a little relieved.
The demon is very scary, but that is as an enemy, and now she is in league with this demon, so that the demon's terrible force is safe.
Especially this demon seems to be a demon king, which is a bit of a sense of security.
"That's what the kidnapper smelled like before."
Red replied truthfully.
She was naturally referring to the smell of ink coming from the dilapidated hut in front of her.
Merlin: "......"
He was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Alice on his shoulder, and saw that Little Lori's expression suddenly became a little sad, and the tears were uncontrollable.
Obviously, Alice, who was a little precocious in her thoughts, also guessed the fastest possibility.
"Don't all ink and pigments taste the same? That doesn't mean anything. ”
Merlin struggled to find a reason.
"Are you suspicious of a werewolf's sense of smell?"
Red said to him with some dissatisfaction, this proud werewolf girl was very confident in her sense of smell.
"I will never admit that for human beings, the ink and pigment smell are similar, but in my opinion, there are still some subtle differences, and the smell of ink on the kidnapper's body is not the same as the factory-produced ink sold in the store, it should be homemade ink pigments."
Merlin has nothing to say now, werewolves are indeed an authority in the field of smell, since Hongdu said so, then naturally there will be no mistakes.
However, is this result a little too cruel for Alice, who had just said that her father might still be saved, and was slapped in the face so quickly.
I knew that I shouldn't have given Alice hope before, and this kind of hope that I had finally hoped and then fell into despair again was really a great hurt to Alice's heart.
Merlin looked at Lori with some concern, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
"It's okay, Mr. Merlin, I'm fine, I've been prepared for this result for a long time, let's go in, I'll watch what happens to my father."
On the contrary, Alice spoke first, and the precocious little Lori said to Merlin while wiping her tears.
This girl who should be at a carefree age is sensible, which is really a little distressing.
Merlin sighed and reached out to touch Alice's head.
"Children should look like children, cry if you want, and leave the rest to the adults."
He gently hugged the little Lori off his shoulder and handed it to the werewolf girl beside him.
"Help me take care of her, and then you can step back a bit."
Merlin told Red and Alice to back away a little and hide in the distance to safety.
When he saw the werewolf girl walking a little farther away with the little Lori, he turned his head and looked at the small cabin in front of him seriously.
There was silence in the cabin in front of him, and he didn't know if there were any enemies in the cabin, or how many enemies there were, so he decided to be a little more cautious before opening the door.
After all, don't look at him on the surface of the mighty and domineering, very scary, but he still has a lot of B numbers in his heart, he is just a useless look, and he has one-tenth of the power of the real demon king to die.
Maybe others will think that even if it is only one-tenth of the power of the demon king, it is already considered a strong person, but Merlin can't think so, who let him have two strong perverted bosses in his family.
The presence of the maid Vieris and her sister Cynthia is almost always emphasizing to him the cruel reality that you are a younger brother.
In short, it is impossible to swell, it is impossible in this life, unless he can withstand the alliance between Cynthia and the head maid one day, there will be no inflated capital at home.
"Well, I'm just a weak chicken after all, and this should be my first fight, so be careful."
Merlin nodded, and then got moving.
He didn't go up and open the door recklessly, so what if there was any trap on the door, even if there was no trap on the door, what about the inside of the door?
This cabin is just like his demon carriage, and likes to disguise itself as harmless, but once someone walks into it, it goes straight into its stomach, and can only wait desperately to be digested.
So......
"Abyss Projection"
He decisively began to strike first.
With his will, the shadow under his feet began to act, and the shadow that had devoured the negative energy that had accumulated for decades in the entire Dongcheng District began to squirm and spread like a living thing.
Even though it was already dark now, the shadows wriggling on the ground were darker than the night, and even under the background of this shadow, the surrounding night suddenly became much brighter.
The wriggling black shadows wrapped the whole cabin around it like a swamp, and countless black mist rolled over the swamp, sometimes turning into a wailing human face with only three holes, and sometimes into a black palm, the grimace peeped at the window of the cabin, and the ghost claws clung at the corner of the cabin, as if trying to pull the cabin into the swamp and sink......
This place has been reduced to the projection of the abyss on the ground, and the projection of the abyss can almost be equivalent to the gate connecting to the real abyss, and now as long as Merlin wants, he can now really open the door with a single thought, and then pull the whole wooden house into the real abyss, so that no matter what traps and ambushes are in this house, it will all be in vain.
It's just that, looking back at Alice, Merlin still gave up this idea, after all, this is little Lori's home, so let's try to keep it so that she can leave a memory for her in the future
He closed his eyes and shifted his perception to the shadows on the ground, and suddenly the shadow swamp on the ground seemed to become an extension of his perception, and the effects of everything above the projection of the abyss were inevitably present in his mind.
Merlin carefully observed the three-dimensional structure of the hut in his mind, and strangely enough, in his perception, the room was empty, and there was no one.
"Uh, is it empty?"
Merlin opened his eyes and looked at the cabin in front of him, frowning.
Perspective
His originally blue eyes were instantly dyed with the color of magic, turning into pitch black, even the whites of his eyes.
Under the effect of this see-through sorcery, the walls of the wooden house in front of him suddenly became transparent, and as he looked through the walls, Merlin carefully searched every corner of the room, but it turned out to be empty.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the house.....
"Tsk, am I fighting with the air for half a day?"
Merlin was a little embarrassed, he remembered that when he and Alice first met, he still regarded Little Lori as a god incarnation and was frightened there for a long time, this father and daughter are poisonous.
Complaining, he stepped forward and reached for the door.....
"Hellfire...."
The moment he touched the doorknob, the cyan flames that were already burning on Merlin's body suddenly exploded, enveloping the entire wooden house in an instant.
And then........
"Ah......h
Inside, two terrible screams rang out from the house, and soon came to an abrupt end, and everything was calm again.
