Chapter 9: Finding Mica

"Rain."

I frowned, woken up a little by the screams.

"Is the rain there?"

"Don't scream, let her sleep more."

"Isn't she awake yet?"

……

It seemed that Ah Su and Phantom were talking, and I woke up slowly, and it was already bright outside. I got up and packed my bed and went out to see what they were saying.

"I have something urgent to tell her." Asu looked quite anxious.

"Just tell me." Phantom doesn't budge.

"It's okay...... "Mica, it hasn't come back." ”

Mica? Speaking of which, I haven't seen it since I woke up. There was so much going on that I didn't pay attention. I went out and asked Ah Su:

"Mica, where did it go?"

Asu (happy): "Rain, are you awake?" ”

Phantom (dissatisfied): "Rain, why did you wake up?" ”

Forehead...... Should I wake up or shouldn't I wake up?

Let's skip this topic automatically.

"Asu, you just said, what's wrong with mica?"

"When we were in Dongguo, Mizuko-sama asked Mica to take us back. After arriving at the village, Mica worries about Mizuko-sama and goes back to Dongko. But it hasn't come back yet. ”

I know about the fact that the mica sent them back. But then the mica returned to the East? When Cuizi went to the stalactite cave, I didn't see it, is it still in the eastern country?

Impossible, how could mica not follow Cuizi, unless...... No, no, no, mica can live to be three hundred years from now. So it must be somewhere, maybe Tsuiko kept it there, maybe it didn't find Tsuiko, so it kept looking.

That place must be the eastern country. Is there some turning point there, so the mica is there? We need to hurry up.

"I guess it's staying in the East Country, let's go there and find it."

Ah Su patted the flying bone on his back, "Then let's go find it now, I'm ready." ”

"We don't have enough people to go there, you bring a few more people, and if you want to be stronger, you may need to move or dig things."

"Okay, then I'll call someone, and I'll meet at the entrance of the village later."

I said, "He really doesn't remember at all." ”

"You can't trust me?"

"No, I'm afraid that if I go to that scene, he will be stimulated and remember everything."

"No, I promise he won't remember it for the rest of his life." Phantom climbed onto my shoulder, "If you don't worry, I'll change it for you." ”

“…… No. ”

There must always be a person who remembers to keep these things and let them rot in the past, and when those people have finished their lives, they will never have to worry about being hurt because of them.

……

I thought that the East would become a mess, but I didn't expect it to be so completely abandoned. In the past, it had very high walls, and there were no buildings in sight. There are openings in all directions in the city walls, which are dedicated to shooters. There is also a grass pavilion above, where the usual people standing guard are.

And the walls are now full of gaps, and you can get in from any direction. The hole turned into a large hole, and there were blood stains left on the bricks, and it looked like a youkai had directly penetrated through and knocked it open. In the top pavilion, there are only four pillars of different lengths left.

Inside the city walls, smoke and sparks still float. We stood at the gate of the city, and for a moment we were all in a state of confusion.

In the past, when we were children, we always brought them here to play, and everyone was very happy every time and looked forward to the next time. Who wouldn't be sad about it now?

Ah Su came back to his senses first, and then assigned the task to everyone: "Let's work in pairs and go search separately." If someone is still alive, save them first. If mica is found, the signal prevails. ”

Everyone: "Yes." ”

Asu: "Solo activities are prohibited in this operation, and evacuation will be carried out as soon as there is danger. ”

Everyone: "Yes." ”

Asu: "Let's go!" ”

This really can't be done without Ah Su, I was thinking about how to tell them, and he had already arranged things properly.

"Rain, let's go together." Asu offered to join me up.

"No, I'm in a group with Phantom, you go and bring someone else."

"No, I heard Xiao Ye say that you have injuries, and I can take care of them with you."

Before I could speak, Phantom made up his mind for me: "I'll see it, so be it." ”

“…… Don't you know I'm okay? Why are you still with him? ”

"That's what you think. With him here, you don't need me to persuade you. ”

I don't know how Xiao Ye told everyone about my injury, they were so nervous about me.

We walked down the street in the middle direction, and all around us was similar to what we saw in the cave, full of bones. It was evident that the people were unguarded, some of them fell on the stalls, some were sitting at the table in groups, and there were many children's bones gathered around, thinking that they were playing a game.

Knowing and seeing with your own eyes are two different feelings. Know, the sadness will pass after a while. Seeing it with your own eyes, this shock will not be forgotten for many years.

The further you went, the quieter, deadly silence became. There were still a few crows on the roof just now, but now there were no living creatures or any sounds, and I realized that something was wrong, so I immediately stopped.

Phantom also reminded: "Rain, we have walked into the miasma, and we can't pass it anymore." ”

It's obviously daytime now, but this piece is shrouded in something, revealing an ominous atmosphere. Even the bones next to him looked at it and felt different.

The position of their eyes became two Hessian holes, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, their heads were all facing us, as if they were looking at us.

Their teeth seem to open open at any moment, mocking us for entering the death zone without knowing it.

It's the most uncomfortable skeleton I've ever seen.

A gust of wind blew out of it, emitting a lot of miasma, and I covered my mouth and nose, not because there was any discomfort, but the smell was too bad.

And Ah Su, who did not have the power of the Jade of the Four Souls to protect his body, immediately reacted.

"Gross."

He first wanted to vomit unconsciously, then he had trouble breathing, and his lips trembled.

"Are you alright?"

I held him by the arm and went to a stool to rest first.

"Don't let him be here." The miasma doesn't seem to have any effect on the illusion, "The longer you stay here, the worse it will be for the human body, so let him leave quickly." ”

The illusion is reasonable. I didn't think it through, I didn't expect such a big miasma, I should have investigated the situation in advance before coming.

I made a silent note in my mind that when I went back, I would prepare a mask that would be specially designed to deal with miasma or poison gas.

"Grock."

I jerked around and said, what?! It's not that I'm hallucinating, I can't get it wrong in such a quiet environment, there was a sound similar to a stone falling on the ground.

I can't see anything, but in the shadows of the house, there must be something hidden.

"Let......'s go," I picked up Ah Su and quickly took him away.

"Boom!"

The moment we got up, a lot of youkai sprang out of the house next to us. I was hit in the back by a broken beam that flew into the air, and I fell to the ground with Asu. Then some grass and planks fell and buried us alive.

Originally, I was going to bury someone, but I didn't expect to be buried. I removed the wood from my body and peeled off the grass on it, revealing my head to see the youkai hovering overhead.

"Are you alright?!" Phantom crawled over worriedly.

"I'm fine." I didn't feel the pain anyway, and if I touched the bones in my back that weren't cracked or deformed, I should have bruised.

I dug open the pile next to me again, found Ah Su, and patted him on the face, "Ah Su, Ah Su? ”

Seeing that he didn't wake up, I used a little more force, and I thought I would increase my strength, but I didn't expect his face to turn red after just a few slaps.

He was photographed by me to sober up, "Rain ......"

"Can you still stand up, there are a lot of monsters out of here, we have to run out quickly."

"Hmm."

I picked him up and hid under the eaves first, intending to escape from the yokai's sight. The current situation of Asu is not suitable for a confrontation with them.

I was rubbing over, and a pair of red, bloody eyes stared at us from inside the broken wooden plank behind me.
