(Mt. Quis)

In an unknown mountain village, the smoke of gunfire is everywhere, and the corpses of warriors lie everywhere.

These warriors all have one thing in common - a blanket of thorns that stretches from the hairline to the back to the heels, and blurred beanie eyes. Even if the appearance is uneven, it can be judged that these warriors are of the same clan as the thorny child who snatched the Shodoi and their lewd card at that time.

A zombie with an orange exploding head, brown glasses, and a blue dress withdrew his hand from the chest of a Thorn Carpet Warrior.

The warrior slowly fell, but the zombie did not show a look of joy.

"Dude! Well done! Thanks to your Soul Song, we were able to capture the Assassin Clan so quickly! ”

A giant zombie walked up to him with great pleasure.

"I've done so many things that don't matter along the way...... If you dare to deceive me, I will not hesitate to present you with my soul song! ”

The Exploding Head Zombie unleashes its killing intent on the Giant Zombie through its brown glasses.

"Huh! Don't don't, don't! Rest assured, everything has a cause and an effect! Since you have come to us to seek the truth, it is not too much for us to ask you to fight for us as a reward, right? Besides, we also tipped you a lot as a bargaining chip to help us, right? ”

Unexpectedly, the giant zombie would be so submissive in the face of such a zombie half a body shorter than him. As everyone knows, the horror of this soul song.

"I hope you didn't lie to me......"

The exploding head zombie turned its head sharply.

"Next, all they need to do is attack their Assassin Fortress!"

The previous giant zombie yelled at the other giant zombies.

Who would have thought that the boy who took the bean lewd card appeared in front of them.

I saw that he was holding something similar to an ice core in his hand, and then a dazzling blue light swept across the ground.

Don't think about it, the zombies are stunned.

(Ice?) Could it be that this kid invited reinforcements from the Ice Race? ）”

The giant zombie speculated.

I saw that the light at the corners of the ice core was getting deeper and deeper, without the slightest weakening of the formation.

"Withdraw first! Go back and think long-term! ”

The giant zombie roared, and then, all the zombies left.

The little boy with the icy core was left alone in the clearing, and he only relaxed when he saw that the zombies had left. He couldn't stop shaking his legs and fell to the ground.

And the ice core in his hand shattered the moment it touched the ground. With the ever-increasing light, it came to an abrupt end.

(Hank's Magic House)

The magic went on as usual, no more so than the other magic tricks that it didn't even make people feel the soul.

However, for the children in the audience, it is a different story.

The first is the peacock, which is full of blood at all times. No one knows if he's watching magic or boxing.

Of course, not to mention the small fruit. is cute by nature, and he will do what others do more vividly than them.

And relatively quiet characters like Aoi and Mushroom can only applaud and warm the atmosphere.

As for why the focus is all on Xiaodou and them, it is because Hank's magic on stage can't be seen at all, and even saying that he is performing acrobatics is biased, which is disrespectful to acrobatics.

In addition, the surrounding audience also gives people a sense of lifelessness, and over time, it gives people the feeling that there are only a few living people on the field.

Here, I saw Hank trying his best to win the audience's smile with his funny posture. It seems that in his mind, being funny is performing magic.

The audience did laugh, but that smile was more like the howl of a ghost, which was creepy.

However, Xiaodou and his party still don't know.

Next, it's time for an audience interaction session! Swing up, please! ”

Hank said as he pressed the remote with his backhand. With a loud bang, the gates of the Colosseum shut.

Before Xiaodou and the others could react, the sky above the Colosseum was wrapped in hemispherical iron sheets, forming a confined space.

What's even more incredible is that in the face of such a situation, the audience did not have the slightest sense of panic. Although the scene was indeed noisy at first glance, when you listened closely, you found that it was not a noise, but the squeaky laughter of the audience, the cheers of the audience.

After a moment of darkness, the lights on the tin sheet over the Colosseum came on. A more atmospheric magic hall was presented in front of everyone.

However, it doesn't matter if it's not lit, as soon as it is lit, it makes people's hairs stand on end.

I saw that the audience all shook their heads regularly, and they also made squeaky noises from time to time.

If it is normal, how precious it is to be regular. But here, it's so weird.

Xiaodou and the others were completely frightened by such a scene, but these shaking viewers did not stop there. Instead, it shook even more violently under Hank's drumming.

“…… He, why do they keep shaking their heads? ”

Xiaodou shuddered.

"Didn't everyone laugh at first?"

At present, it is estimated that only Xiaoguo can remain calm.

“…… That's not a laugh...... That's what they were shaking their heads to make......"

Spray small mushrooms in a cold sweat every day.

"Brother...... Mr. Magic seems to be doing something......"

Xiao Kui said as she tugged at the corner of Xiaodou's clothes.

Everyone looks at the stage and sees Hank skillfully shaking something like a bell.

And the audience is shaking because of the shaking of this bell.

"Come on! My dear children! Let them feel your intimidating power! ”

Hank shook the bell at an accelerated pace, and the audience shook their heads and squeaked more and more often. It seems that the meridians around their necks may be broken at any time.

“…… It turns out that all this is directed against us? ”

Spray mushroom said.

"If that's the case...... Just fight with them......"

Although Xiaodou wanted to raise his voice, his trembling tone made him appear softer. Moreover, his voice managed to attract the attention of the surrounding audience. I saw that the audience a few feet around them shook their heads and turned around, and kept moving closer to them.

Just when they were panicking, Xiaodou also shook his head due to being overly frightened, and the others looked at Xiaodou and imitated it.

Luckily, the audience really stopped moving closer. However, the reason for this stop is probably due to the sudden screaming.

Just look, a few feet away from Xiaodou and them, another group of shaking their heads is gathering around a central point.

The screams grew louder and louder, and managed to get Hank's attention.

(Did it finally show up?) Is the psychological quality of today's children so good? Or is there not many children left in this country? ）”

Hank pondered, walking leisurely towards the scream.

Since the screams were in a straight line with Shodoi and Hank, Shodoi and the others also held their breath.

Here, the screamer seemed to be exhausted, gasping for exhaustion from time to time.

Shaking their heads, the audience saw Hank coming, and they all got out of the way.

I saw that Hank was getting closer and closer to Xiaodou...... Suddenly, Hank's mouth opened wide. Then, in one gulp, he smashed the screaming child.

Blood was sprinkled in all directions like a fountain, and the audience shook their heads as they bathed in the bright red liquid, opening and closing their mouths in excitement and making a terrible crunch.

The moment the child entered Hank's mouth, there was only despair and hatred in his eyes.

Squirting mushrooms were also stunned when they saw this scene, because the child seemed to be looking at him with hatred...... Just like when Derpy was consumed by the dark green ghost fire, it was so helpless, so heinous.

“…… Derpy......"

Squirting mushrooms seemed to return to the scene of the junction bridge at that time, and just walked in the direction of the child brainlessly.

Xiaodou and Xiaoguo also restrained him according to the situation.

"What are you doing! That's Derpy! ”

History is always strikingly similar, and the lines of the mushroom spray are the same as those on the junction bridge at that time. One can imagine how much criticism Derpy's departure was for him.

Fortunately, Hank didn't seem to notice them, and instead walked to the other corner - he seemed to judge the direction based on the focus of the shaking audience.

He walked straight to another child surrounded by a head-shaking spectator, who was torn apart before he even had time to scream.

Like the previous child, it finally bloomed into a blood firework.

Xiaodou looked at everything that was happening in front of them tremblingly, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the next one would be themselves.

Indeed, such a scene is too terrifying for children, and no one can survive in such a situation.

It's hard to say that there is, and it can only be the little fruit that makes people can't figure it out.

And yet, it's all so dramatic. At this time, Xiaoguo screamed in horror.

"Don't you call it......"

Xiaokui hurriedly blocked Xiaoguo's mouth.

However, Hank still didn't seem to be looking to their side. Just enjoy the ravages yourself, and more importantly, it seems that you deliberately don't go to Xiaodou's side, as if to tell them: 'You are already a turtle in my urn'.

Sure enough, as the last child's scream faded away. All the shaking heads of the audience turned their eyes to Xiaodou and them. Their bodies were already covered in blood, and the strange light from the roof's sudden turn green was even more terrifying.

Hank shook the speed of the bell to the extreme, and the meridians of the audience's necks were already protruding, but there was no flesh in sight. It seems that these audiences are all fake, and they are all puppets.

But even if Xiaodou and his party knew this, it was too late. In this enclosed space, coupled with being forced into a corner by the puppeteers who shook their heads. They knew that a catastrophe was coming.

After confirming that Shodoi and they were completely surrounded, Hank stopped shaking the bell.

"Oh? Little fresh meat? ”

Hank said as if he knew each other as if he were familiar with Shodoi.

“……”

Xiaodou and the others were already so frightened that their faces turned blue and they couldn't move in place.

"It's the smell of the time!"

Hank leaned in and sniffed.

"You, you, you! What are you doing! ”

Xiaodou hurriedly moved back.

"Forgot about me so soon? And no wonder...... In the face of such a strong me, it is understandable that I was so scared that I forgot everything. ”

Hank deliberately stretched out half of his body to get closer to Shodo.

"You, you, you! Don't come here! ”

Xiaodou panicked and went off.

However, the pea that went off the fire passed through Hank's body.

“…… That's all you've got it? ”

Hank retracted and said dismissively.

"Yes...... Don't underestimate children! ”

Somehow, Squirting Mushroom picked up the Spray Mushroom Gun and shot it at Hank. Of course, the spores all passed through Hank's body.

“…… Hmph......"

Hank looked at Squirting Mushroom with contempt.

"Hey! Who do you say is a child? ”

Azuki looked at the mushroom angrily.

“…… Isn't that great? Take out your confident posture......"

Spray mushrooms turn their heads and give a thumbs up to the adzuki beans.

“…… Hmph, even if you say so, but you can't just say that my child's affairs are just like that! ”

Shodou turned her head proudly.

"Little fresh meat~ can you put it in my mouth with peace of mind?"

Hank asked politely.

“…… Less hypocrisy there! I already know your pretending routine! ”

Xiaodou raised his voice and strengthened his courage.

"Hey, he doesn't seem to be hypocritical, does he? He's just trying to eat us, and besides, do you really know that? ”

Spray mushrooms whispered to Xiaodou, and he was like the one who inspired Xiaodou before.

“…… Didn't you tell me to cheer up? And, I already have a perfect plan...... It's going to make him lose his hair! ”

Bean spoke intermittently, turning his head to inquire about Hank's movements as he turned his head in response to Squirting Mushroom. Looking at his formation, even the puppeteer next to him couldn't help but get enthusiastic.

"Then you should say it quickly! Your plan! ”

Spraying mushrooms gradually loses patience.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?!"

Xiaodou even forgot about the enemy in front of him, and planned to start a scolding war with Squirting Mushroom.

Unexpectedly, Hank has lost his patience and pounces on Shodoi.

Fortunately, Xiaoguo reacted in time and blocked Hank with a small wooden shield.

"Hmph."

Xiaodou clasped his arms in his hands, looking confident.

"What do you mean?"

Spray mushrooms are confused.

"Hmph, that's the strategy I'm talking about! That guy can't get through Xiaoguo's wooden shield! ”

Azuki patted Xiaoguo's shoulder triumphantly.

“…… Is it? ”

Hank was quickly freed from the panic of being blocked from the attack.

"Are you still struggling? There's no way for you to get close to me now...... Guys......"

Before Xiaodou finished speaking, he saw Hank easily pass through the small wooden shield and pass through the small fruit. And the moment he passed through Xiaoguo, he kicked him into the group of puppets behind him.

“…… Now, are you still struggling? ”

Hank jokingly leaned in close to Tsukizuki.

"You, you, you! Don't come here! Again, I'll call it if I come back again! ”

Xiaodou was so frightened that his legs went limp.

"Hey, hey, hey! You name it! Cut your throat and no one will help you! ”

Somehow, Hank also cooperated with Bean with great interest.

"Help!!!!!"

I never expected that Xiaodou's voice could be so sharp. Even the puppeteers shed their skin a little because of the shrill sound.

Needless to say, the others were also rolling on the ground uncomfortably because of the harsh sound.

Leave Hank and Bean behind.

“…… Cut! I was really surprised...... Forgot to tell you, though...... The iron sheet on my roof was made of steel elements from the junction of the throat of the Ancient Bone Dragon. It can easily block out the sound of the outside world, and no matter how much you toss inside, you won't hear the slightest sound outside. Besides, I don't often come to this magic hall. Even if your voice does penetrate the roof of my house, no one will come to save you! Hahahaha......"

Hank looked up to the sky and smiled.

"Brother, don't listen to him! Unless it is in a vacuum, it is impossible for the sound to be completely isolated, let alone this kind of iron house. ”

Xiao Aoi stepped forward and said.

“…… Hohoo ho! It's been like this, and you're still saying something unbounded......"

Hank wasn't flustered by Aoi's debunking.

"Listen to the people inside! You're surrounded! ”

At this time, a man with a similar appearance to Zi Fei jumped out from behind the red curtain. But if you look closely, there is still a slight difference, because this man has a small mustache.

"Oh? From the back door? ”

Hank pondered.

"It looks like what the purple fat guy said, the culprit of the child's disappearance case is an extremely brutal guy!"

The man who looked like purple fat looked at the bloodstains around him and said.

"Purple fertilizer? I don't know what this guest officer is talking about, but since this guest officer is here, it can only be entertained by Hank! ”

Hank turned to glaring at the man in front of him.

"Hehe, that uncle is only honored!"

The man raised his machine gun and looked ready to go.

"It's going to be up!"

Hank rushed at the man.

The man made a skillful movement of his hands and confidently walked through Hank.

That's right! Before the man could spray it, Hank had already passed through his body.

It seems that as soon as he came up, he gave him a dismount.

"Penetrating...... Is it? ”

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said confidently: "Carving insect skills!" Purple Mist Comes East! ”

I saw that the spore spray quickly shot towards Hank. Hank, however, dodged just in time.

Hank's dodge seems to have been done on purpose, though. Because he deliberately left some holes in his body, allowing a few spores to pass through his body.

(Damn!) Didn't completely dodge ...... Still, if you're a fool, you'll think I'm scared of this thing, right? ）”

Hank endured the frustration of not avoiding the spores completely.

"Huh! Really! You guy is scared of my mushroom spores! In this way, it is your end! ”

The man complied with Hank's idea and became careless.

(There is a flaw!) Sure enough, it's an idiot! ”

Hank waited for an opportunity to jump in front of the man with his funny dance steps and punched him very hard.

The man panicked and rolled backwards several times.

“…… Shh Sneak attack? …… But that's it! Really, what is that guy Zifei thinking? Why be afraid of such weak garbage? And repeatedly told me to be careful? There is no need for this at all! ”

The man landed on the ground perfectly, so he said beautiful things to strengthen his courage.

(If it weren't for the weakness of this body, you kid would have been gone!) ）”

Hank looked at the man with disdain.

"Hey! That bastard over there! Listen to me! Lao Tzu is Pan Yifeng, the deputy captain of the second brigade of Liu Yueguo! When you hear the name of the master, don't you kneel down and lick the master......"

Hank finally couldn't bear Pan Yifeng's chatter, and turned his iron fist to serve.

“…… Really! Flaws all over the body! ”

Hank clenched his fists, trying to suppress the fire in his heart.

"Uncle Feng! Be careful! Hank is able to penetrate everything! ”

Beans suddenly jumped up in the puppet group.

Here, there are a few confused faces.

"Huo? So what? What can this weak chicken do with me? ”

Hank looked at Bean angrily.

The bean turned and the turtle retracted into the puppet group.

"Don't underestimate our army, bastard!"

Pan Yifeng snapped his fingers, and no less than 20 people carrying machine guns similar to Pan Yifeng came in behind the curtain.

"Shhhh Quantity suppression? ”

Hank said dismissively.

(Still, it's not good for me to be in front of so many people at the same time...... Let's retreat for now! ）”

Hank pondered, then lunged at one of the soldiers.

The soldier's response was timely, but Hank pierced with bullets.

“…… Want to run? Set fire! ”

Pan Yifeng is always slow to beat, and by the time he reacts, Hank has already disappeared.

“…… Forget it, it's up to you next! hiahiahiahia~”

Pan Yifeng saw Hank leaving, as if he had let go of his burden, and began to be unscrupulous.

"Don't, don't! We are good people! We are good people! ”

Beans popped out of the puppet pack again.

“…… Why should I believe you? There's not a single good thing in this bastard's house! ”

Pan Yifeng didn't know anything about this place at all, he just wanted to pretend to be forced.

However, this level of pretending can completely shock Xiaodou and a child of their age.

"I, we're really not, sir! I, I swear to God! ”

Xiaodou spoke with a crying tone.

“…… emmmm…… Forget it, you can't do anything earth-shattering...... Tell me about the situation in this museum? ”

Pan Yifeng finally tasted the sweetness of pretending to be forced and slowly retracted his state.

"Didn't you know much about the inside of the building at first? What else do you say that there is no good thing in this museum......"

Xiaoguo is always unexpectedly sassy and suddenly blurts out. Fortunately, Xiaokui covered his mouth in time, and it didn't seem to be of any use. Because, Pan Yifeng's expression is obviously very bad, it is simply terrible.

“…… Hehe~ Please come with me, right? ”

Pan Yifeng approached them with a hippie smile, this may be the legendary table smile, right? (Smile on the surface, XXX in the heart)

"Eh!!"

The crowd was amazed.

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to be scolded by Xiaoru again......"

The spray mushroom trembled, and the upcoming second consecutive kneeling made him feel a little blue and thin.

“…… Suddenly? What about the Puff-shrooming race? Interesting! Take! ”

(A secluded spot not far from Hank's Magic Hall)

Hank, who thought everything was fine, never imagined that he would meet Xiye here, not so much a coincidence, but rather fate. (Phew!) Anyway, why would I say such a thing? ）

"The case of a missing child...... You're the hell, right? ”

Xiye said as he rubbed the glove on his left hand.

"Shhhh Is the Great Demon Hee Night? ”

Hank muttered quietly.

"I've heard it for a long time, and I've always turned a blind eye. But if you've done it, don't blame me for being rude! ”

There was a red glow under the mask of the night.

"Damn! Did it reach his ears? I knew that I would have been more careful when I caught children before! ”

Hank remembers the previous times when he smashed several puppets in a fit of rage because of the crying of several children.

(If the puppets were intact, no one would have been able to find out that any of the children were missing.) Damn it! Blame me for being stupid! ）”

It seems that the puppet is supposed to replace every child who is eaten by Hank.

"No matter what you want to say, the people who rob me in my territory have to give me a reasonable explanation!"

Xiye stopped rubbing his gloves and changed them, and a playing card of the Ace of Spades appeared between his index and middle fingers. And the red light under his mask became more and more sharp.

“…… (This guy is notoriously crazy, and if I take even one wrong step, it will work against me...... Although it's because of this body, let's find a way to get out...... ）”

Before Hank could think of a countermeasure, he was impaled by a sudden playing card.

"I'm running out of patience! …… Oh? Penetrate? ”

Heeye flew out of the playing cards, calmed down, and looked at Hank carefully.

“…… If I'm not mistaken......"

Xi Ye quickly took off the top hat, and thousands of bladed confetti poured out, which was completely two grades from the confetti when he was fighting Zi Fei at that time.

"Oops!"

Before he had time to dodge, Hank was cut into a honeycomb by the extremely fast paper blade in front of him, and then he was deflated and turned into a human skin.

Soon, under the human skin, a faint green ghost fire poked its head out.

"Yo! Who should I be? Isn't this one of the three bosses of that guy? ”

Xiye pretended to be a mistake.

"Less garlic there! Aren't you also one of the three chieftains of Edgar's Michael? Crazy Devil! Xiye! ”

The ghost's voice is intersex, and he can hear two voices of different genders at the same time, and in addition to that, his voice has its own vibrato effect.

"Hmph, is it really okay for us to report to each other like this?"

Xi Ye's mood eased a lot.

“……”

"If it were you, you would be able to roughly understand why you would want to do it to children...... It's a blessing from the Governor, right? ”

Xi Ye clasped his arms in his hands and said leisurely.

"Don't say it so easily, okay?! That Golden Retriever! Sooner or later, I'll give it back to him! ”

The ghost seems to have a lot of prejudice against the manager. It's no wonder that being cursed to have to eat children to make a living or something is still terrible.

"Ho ho ho ho ~ be careful, the manager is right behind you~"

When Xi Ye saw that it was an old acquaintance, he actually started to flirt without saying a word.

However, his words were outstanding. Sure enough, the ghost looked back.

“…… Made! I won't fall for you again next time! ”

The ghost scolded angrily.

"That's it! Let's not talk about that...... Even if I know it's you, I'm ...... Oh no! Xiye still has questions......"

Xiye changed to the usual name, and it seemed that his state had completely stabilized.

"What?"

"Your children...... All wiped out by you? ”

"Humph! How can it be! That's why I hate that golden retriever so much! He cursed me so viciously, but he didn't tell me what was going on on the other side of the mountain. As a result, I was wanted by the security guard over there before I could go on a killing spree...... At that time, what else did you say, from now on, the mountain will be my territory, it's really funny! ”

The bitter water that the heart ghost can't tell endlessly.

"Aren't you that strong? Penetrating everything? Still afraid of the police in that area? ”

Xi Ye put one hand on the tip of his nose and said with a smile.

"Did you crack it shortly after the beginning? Say something cool! ”

The voice of the heart ghost trembled rapidly, and it seemed that he was very angry.

"Huo Huo ~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... If you've been here as Hank for so long, why not try it on your own turf? ”

Xi Ye obviously meant to drive him away.

“…… That's right! I didn't think of that! Wood~~~ Ah! ”

After thinking about it for a long time, it suddenly dawned on him, and he turned to Xiye in person.

"Don't come here! There is a habit of cleanliness in the night! Let's go! ”

Xi Ye hurriedly pushed and shoved, but fortunately, the ghost did not chase after him, and soon left leisurely.

"With that ability...... It's a pity that he's a brainless idiot, hum ......"

Xiye glanced contemptuously at the distant ghost, and then disappeared into the night sky.
