Mia takes off her protective suit, braces, and gloves.

The moment she undressed, the smoke erupted from her angled joints, even from the corners of her eyes and hair, quickly turning into the strange shape of a hound.

They stand firm in the world and only then do they realize ...... People are gone?

Mia was already running forward, the shadows swaying like windshield wipers. Whether it's a wall, a door, or a cabinet or something like that, the shadows "swallow" it (teleports to the shadow realm) in one gulp, allowing Mia to safely pass through it, and then spit it out behind her.

This turn of events caught the hounds a little off guard. Although they are far less able to run in this continuous world than they can in the diaspora (where it only takes about 1 day to travel 100 million years/light year), it is not something that normal humans can easily escape.

And this young human girl doesn't seem to belong to the category of normal humans.

After a brief thought, the hounds began to diverge. Some went after the little girl, others went to capture the two boys.

As long as it is a prey marked by them, they will hunt each other to the ends of the earth. This is the advantage of discrete worlds over continuous worlds - they have no concept of distance length at all, and will only constantly jump from one place to another.

"Clever!" In the monitoring room, a certain priest suddenly exclaimed, "She just saved those two students in the room, so she dispersed the target that the hound needed to pursue, and won more time for her escape at this time!" ”

The other clergy also suddenly came to their senses, and began to say, "Yes, you are the same as I thought", "Actually, I have already seen it", "This little girl is the kind of smart girl who looks simple and is cunning and abnormal in private".

Bishop Chino's face darkened until he finally couldn't listen to the more exaggerated blows of the priests, and slapped the table hard, interrupting their dog-licking words.

The clergy came to an abrupt end in embarrassment.

"Don't chat during work hours!" Bishop Chino angrily reprimanded, "Bishop Valyan is still waiting outside, why is your frivolous mentality?" The program is not monitored?! ”

The priests each turned their heads back to stare at the screen, and Bishop Chino was already gritting his teeth as he looked at the screen.

Hurry up! Hurry up! Aren't you hounds? Pounce on that abominable little mercenary!

His fists were clenched, and the hounds came into the discrete space-time gap (as the program shows), teleported to Mia in the distance, and then emerged from the sharp-angled joints of her body.

Mia:!!!

She didn't expect that she had run so far away, and these hounds could still catch up?

Looking at her panicked expression, a subtle smile appeared on Bishop Chino's face again.

Alas, there is no way...... Run! Mia gritted her teeth and sprang out again.

When the fog finally took shape as a hound, it was only to realize that the target was gone.

Bishop Chino's smile froze on his face: how could this little rabbit run so well?

Rushing to an unoccupied room, Mia quickly closed the door, blocking out the light from the hallway, and then quickly entered the shadow realm in the darkness.

I've gone into the shadows, this time I should ......

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a light blue mist suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The Shadow Realm can't stop them?!! Mia was so shocked that she gritted her teeth and stood up and continued to run for her life.

She rushed through several corridors, and when she saw that the hounds were not chasing, she stopped to breathe. After a few breaths, the mist reappeared, and Miya continued to run, sinking headfirst into the dirt.

It turns out that this base was built underground. At this point, he had already broken out of the base and into the soil layer below the ground.

There shouldn't be any hounds now, right? Mia thought with some vigilance, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

She suddenly realized a key thing: why do hounds only appear in open spaces? Why does the hound choose not to appear as long as the horns are closed, instead of being forced out of the closed place?

Is it because of the pressure? Just as a person cannot withstand the stress of being buried alive in the soil, neither can a hound...... In other words, when they teleport out of the rift in space-time, they cannot withstand even the slightest pressure caused by the sealing of the cloth.

So they prefer not to teleport out.

Thinking of this, Mia's mind came alive. Her thinking logic at this time is so agile, just like when she was working in the Thieves' Guild in the past, facing a heavily guarded aristocratic mansion, she suddenly discovered that there was a certain hole in the other party's security system, so all the cells in the entire brain began to work rapidly.

Suppose this conclusion is true, i.e. they are afraid of additional stress during the manifestation? So what if I could catch them manifesting and interfere with them......

Mia remembered once again the mist emerging from her side, condensing so quickly that it took almost a blink of an eye to shape. Ordinary people will never be able to keep up with this speed, but Mia is an extraordinary person after all......

You can try it!

She flicked her arms suddenly, and some of the shadows opened pathways above, while more darkness held her legs, lifting her smoothly out of the ground like a rising throne.

As soon as she reached the surface, Mia saw that the mist began to diffuse rapidly from the corners of the surrounding weeds, the branches of the trees, and the crevices of the stones.

Shade!

In an instant, Mia activated her abilities, and the shadow sparked like a viper, entangling the nearest hound—before it could fully coalesce its body.

The shadows pierced the pale blue mist again, as if the other party had no physical entity at all, but the hound did not break free from the shadows as easily as before, but let out an incomprehensible wail.

The voice was so harsh that Mia even felt a dull pain in her temples. However, she was soon overjoyed to find that the hound's body had collapsed.

Or rather, back into the void.

As for the limb entangled in the shadow, it did not collapse like its body, but remained in reality, falling into Mia's hands as the shadow tentacles retracted.

It wasn't until she zoomed in to look at it that Mia realized that it was indeed made of mist, countless indiscernible particles floating in the air, constantly refracting the light around her, so that the surface of Mia's eyes was mottled and rough and constantly changing.

The particles are still flickering and jumping, sometimes here and there, barely stopping anywhere for a moment. It's just that the moment any particle disappears, another particle will soon appear near it, so the whole particle mist still maintains a slender and strange limb shape.

Mia looked up again and looked at the seven or eight hounds around her. They leaned low and let out a roar that humans could not understand, but they did not pounce on them with the same greed and ferocity as before.

Instead, he stared at her fearfully.
