After thinking about it for a while, I decided to take a trip, so I tiptoed upstairs, returned to the room and changed into a set of thick black clothes, wrapped in a scarf, put on a hat and gloves, and found a handkerchief to wrap around my face, which was enough to cover up and disguise. Although height cannot be changed, it is basically impossible to recognize it by unfamiliar people.

With that done, I looked at the small pendulum clock at the head of the bed, and the hour hand on the reflective-coated dial was already pointing northwest, and the time was approaching ten o'clock. This was only the beginning of nightlife in the city thousands of years ago, but in the wilderness of Kamisu 66 Town, it is already late at night.

Since I was the last to take a shower and rubbed in the bathroom for another hour, my parents should have fallen asleep, they usually sleep very deeply, and they are generally not easily woken up. Saya goes to bed early and doesn't need to worry about being found out by her. Only Static ...... She can sense my thoughts, will it make a difference?

I tiptoed open the door and walked out, staring at the quiet door for a while, as if I didn't respond. Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief and was about to go downstairs, the door suddenly opened, and a dark figure stood quietly inside the dark door—at this time, with the flickering lights, it would scare ordinary people into silly.

Silence spread in the darkness, and I remained on my tiptoes, my scalp tingling and my breathing difficult. He turned his head stiffly to look at the black shadow and greeted her tentatively: "Sister, do you want to get up and drink water?" ”

"Fold, why take such a risk?"

Her tone was quite soft, almost like ...... Like a normal sister who cares about her younger brother?

"Probably...... It's because I can't put it down. ”

I hesitated for a while before I sighed, and tore off the hand towel that was a little wet from my breath, and my breathing suddenly became easier: "Although I always tell myself not to do too much troublesome things, the thought that someone will be hurt by my influence will be like a thorn in my throat." I can't help too many people, but at least I don't want my nearest relatives to get hurt - and if I don't, I'll be suspicious if things come to light. ”

"Then sister will go with you."

"No need, it's not easy for me to be found when I go alone, and I'll be back soon."

Although I was surprised by Jing's change, I still rejected her proposal, in addition to the difficulty of the two people's mobility, it was more out of a qualitative thinking of an adult male - it is a man's duty to solve difficulties and dangers, not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with Jing.

"If you are in danger, my sister will come to you."

After more than ten seconds of silence, Jing walked up and touched my head, then walked back to the room and closed the door with his backhand, and the petite figure disappeared. I exhaled and shook my head and walked downstairs, but there was an indescribable warmth in my heart.

There was a doorbell at the door, and as soon as the door opened, it rang non-stop, so I planned to climb out of the fence behind the courtyard. When I walked to the courtyard, I realized that I was thinking too easily, the height of the fence was close to two meters, almost the same as the fence, and it was almost impossible to climb out without finding something to put on my feet, with my current height and physique.

"Ain, come here."

On the side of the fantasy world, Ted's bell-shaped tail flicked and smashed a large hole in the wooden fence. It stabbed its huge body into it, cut through the shattered fence, and turned to look at me triumphantly: "Ain, you're too small to fly, so you can't get by." ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to it, my eyes wandering around, thinking about what to find to put my feet on. But it's easy to get out, but what to do when you come back?

Just as I was worried, there was a faint sound of a window opening from the roof, and the window of the quiet room facing the courtyard was opened, and her voice was heard from above: "Fold and stand in a more conspicuous place, and find a flat stone to stand on it." ”

I understood, and found a flat, footing stone on the edge of the pool and stood on it. The next moment, an indescribable force poured out from below, like a giant lifting the stone from below, and I quickly rose two meters into the air.

When I stepped on the stone underneath with my foot, it was unusually smooth, as if it was fixed in the air, and it could not be shaken no matter what. As I marveled at the magic of the mana, the stones beneath my feet began to move laterally, past the top of the fence, and then fell flat to the ground.

When my feet trembled, I stretched out my foot and nodded around, and when I was sure I landed, I took a few steps back, shook my hand at the window that was still open, and then walked in the direction of the land of the spearwheel.

The roads in Kamisu 66 Town are made up of stone roads, stone roads, and ridges, and the stone roads are only paved in densely populated areas. The gravel road is the main trunk of the township, but due to the large number of paddy fields in the golden township, the gravel road naturally deviates from the straight-line distance, and if you want to go faster, you need to take the ridge.

The ridge is not a good place to stay, and it is fine when the path is about twenty or thirty centimeters wide before winter, but in winter, the snow is covered and accumulated, and it naturally forms an arched ice slope, although the surface is not smooth, it is definitely not easy to settle down, and it is easy to slip.

I was walking along such a ridge at the moment, with the cold wind howling beside me, and the clouds overhead, and I had to be careful not to slip under my feet, and I was vaguely worried about whether there would be any public officials in the town patrolling. All kinds of emotions are entangled, mixed into a strange sense of excitement and tension, like walking on the edge of the top of a hundred-story building, and like dancing on the tip of a knife.

Ted followed me, screaming from time to time, running to swallow a creature smaller than himself on one side of the fantasy realm, or a rabbit, or a goat, or all sorts of strange fantasy creatures, and with each swallow one, its body swelled slightly.

I couldn't see how laid-back it was, so I pointed ahead and gave it an order: "Ted, you go ahead and make rounds, and if you find a human like me, come back and inform me." ”

"Follow your orders."

Ted chewed on a six-legged beast in his mouth, blood splattering. There was a screeching sound of bones and flesh being crushed, and he flapped his wings and flew forward. I shook my head and tiptoed on.

All the way to cross the bridge without danger, to the land of waterwheels, and then to the snow festival venue, all kinds of ice sculptures and snow scenes have been established, large ice and snow buildings as the main body, all kinds of small ice sculptures as embellishments, ice trees, ice boats, ice cows and horses...... A myriad of small ice sculptures are lined with exhibits along the roads in the city, just a few steps away, and they are a sight to behold.

But at night it is really unpleasant, all kinds of tall snow and ice buildings tower, because there is no light to illuminate it, it looks like it will collapse at any moment. Small ice sculptures twist into terrifying shapes in the dark, ghostly and hairy.

I had no intention of going into the city to find sin, so I went around the ice wall to the north. When you cross the river, you will see a park surrounded by maple trees that have lost their leaves, and in the spring, you will find a lot of sweet maple sugar.

Running along the stone path of Universal Park, the flat lawn is covered with snow, and there are several stone sculptures that are said to have contributed greatly to the town in the past, but they are now covered in snow.

Walk along the stone path, passing through the entertainment and fitness facilities in front of you, the observation deck in the middle and the flower platform exhibition hall. When you reach the rear, you will see a flat mound that spirals upwards.

I observed the mound in the dim light and with eyes accustomed to the darkness, and there was a stone road below it that paved like a ring road, and above the mound there was a faint look like a building. Ted said that he saw Takashi Takeda and Takeuchi coming in and out of here, so this is probably the office of the Ethics Committee, right?

"Over there...... Over there, Ain, the two rats are in a row of houses over there. ”

Ted's body swelled up again as he went, and he flapped his wings excitedly and flew towards the back of the mound, where there was a row of low, wide houses that didn't look like they were for people, but for medium or large animals.

I was about to follow, but as soon as Ted flew to the row of houses, he let out a low growl to warn me, "Ain, there's something else in here besides those two little things. You'd better not get closer, they've already spotted you. ”

Hearing its warning, I immediately paused and squinted at the rows of terraced houses. I'm not surprised that rats can sense my presence, they have a keen sense of smell and perhaps a sense of beasthood, and if I get close enough to get somewhere in the distance, they're bound to spot me. And there is something other than rats, which is also not surprising to me - humans are the most insecure creatures, and how can adults not have the means to control and monitor them when aliens enter the town?

But what exactly is this means? Large dogs? Or is it ......

I had some guesses in my head, but what it was wasn't too dangerous for me. With a "whew" exhale, I visually measured that the distance between the terraced house and myself was about 80 meters, which was within the effective range of mental interference. Knowing this, I began to construct a unique illusion in the fantasy world that I already had in my mind.

First of all, in order to ensure my own safety, I distorted my own scent, form, and color, and turned my illusion into stone. After doing all this, the next step is how to drive out the rats and "things" inside, and prevent them from yelling and making noises to alarm others.

What to do?

I pondered and fantasized about some kind of food to seduce them? No, it shouldn't be that easy. Rats are intelligent beings, and it is unlikely that they will be seduced by such a simple trap. Thunder and lightning, wind, and massive beasts were conceived to destroy the house, and it was inevitable that they would make noises when they were frightened and escaped.

Then try to judge the conclusion transmission and the perception transmission.

"Get out...... Should go out...... Gotta get outside......"

I substituted my self-consciousness into the side of the house, consciously using mental intervention to transmit the conclusion of "getting out of the house" to the area of the townhouse, and then covering my ears and holding my breath to imagine that I couldn't hear any sound or smell anything, and transmitted this feeling.

Almost as soon as I had an idea, two slender figures like calves rushed out of the rowhouse, and with the icy cold wind swept to the open ground in front of the house, and then they stood still, just staring blankly at a pair of lantern-like red eyes.

I couldn't see what they looked like for a while, but judging by their size, they were the kind of creatures known as cat tricks. Because I had expected it, there was no turmoil in my heart, but only a sense of completeness that confirmed a conjecture.

Just after the two cats ran out of the house, in the other two rooms, two more "things" came out one after another, one of them was short, and he was almost invisible in the dark. The other was as tall as an adult and seemed to be unusually burly—no doubt the two rats.

When the two rats came out of the terraced house, the two cats stared at them with their big lantern-like eyes, and let out a low bark that neither cats nor dogs, and they looked like they were about to pounce on them.

I hesitated slightly, but gave up on letting them eat the two rats, which would have seemed too unusual. To prevent them from attacking in a frenzy, I imagined two huge palms and grabbed their heads out of thin air.

They believed it, swallowed their voices, and their long limbs twitched incessantly. It was as if his head had been twisted by something in reality, and after a while, he collapsed weakly on the ground, motionless.

"Come up to me."

Solving the two cat deceptions, I once again passed on the conclusion like two dazed rats, and they paced to a place four or five meters away from me and stopped, as if they couldn't see me, and seemed to look around. Since I blocked their sense of smell and hearing, they were left with only sight.

“%…… ￥*&*￥%&&…………”

“@%￥&*&*&*%……**%%￥￥”

The two rats tried to communicate, but because I blocked their sense of smell and hearing, they looked at each other and talked a lot, pointing and gesticulating, but they couldn't figure out what the other person was talking about, let alone what was going on.

I just stood there and watched their reactions, and it was very interesting, but there was a faint cold emotion rising in my heart—after all, they were just two beasts, unresponsive and weak-minded. The so-called second highest intelligent life...... That's it. In that case, it's okay to kill it, right?

It's just a beast......

The coldness spread through my heart, and just as I was about to manipulate the two rats to kill each other, the tall rat behaved unexpectedly. It suddenly raised its hands above its head, knelt on its knees, and kowtowed to the ground on its knees, and its voice was no longer an incomprehensible rat language, but a fluent Japanese: "I don't know which god is here, there are rude numbers, and I ask the god to calm his anger, take away the supernatural powers, and let the trick pill ask the god to plead guilty here." ”

There was neither nervousness nor anger in his voice, but rather a very respectful and well-organized voice. This undoubtedly shows that it has wisdom and even knowledge that is not inferior to human beings.

The icy spread was contained for a moment, and I hesitated for a moment, temporarily dispelling the idea of killing them directly.
