Late at night, Xicheng District is not as brightly lit as Dongcheng District, but perhaps because there are no lights, the moonlight in Xicheng District is brighter than that in Dongcheng District.

Lying quietly on the lawn in front of the thatched house, Chen Ming looked at the starry sky with a smile, and beside him, the "Magic Book of Dusk" was also lying like him.

"Life here is quieter than the academy. ”

Turning his head, Chen Ming's eyes were on the quaint books, "It's just that I still haven't been able to get used to the days when you're not around......

"Habit what?"

Behind him, Hailey's playful voice came asking, "Are you used to us?"

Chen Ming looked up, but saw Catwoman and the elf walking side by side, pouting, "Can't you let me stay for a while when you're used to your noise?"

"I'm sorry. ”

Although she said this, Isabella lay down next to Tatsunaru more directly than Hayley, and Hayley lay next to the magic book.

"Have you really decided to go with me?"

After lying down for a while, Chen Ming asked, but his eyes were still looking at the starry sky, but he didn't know who he was asking.

"Hmm. ”

Isabella nodded and said, "After guarding them for so many years, it's time for me to live for myself." ”

Hayley asked puzzledly, "If you think so, then why do you still refuse Charles's conditions?"

Chen Ming said for Catwoman, "Agree to my conditions, she will never be able to return here, and travel with me, then even if it is long, this place will still belong to her." ”

"Hmm. ”

Isabella laughed, "My favorite thing is the starry sky. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Hayley also smiled, "It's that house, isn't it time to repair it?"

......

In the breeze, I don't know when, the three of them all fell asleep, and the sky was the bed, full of comfort.

But what the breeze brings is not necessarily comfort, but more likely is to bring black clouds to the pair of sun and moon in the sky that hide the brilliance.

Chen Ming, who was sleeping lightly, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the dark clouds that blocked the moonlight and frowned slightly, and a trace of choice flashed on his face.

In the distance, in the col, a few black shadows flickered, silently attacking their village.

Chen Ming stood up, the magic power around him surged, and the whole person disappeared in place.

"Space magic, resonant flail. ”

In the past six months, Chen Ming has not only adapted to magic, but also mastered all series of magic except summoning magic and divine magic, and the resonance flail is a fifth-order magic, which uses its own magic to resonate with the surrounding space, allowing itself to merge with the surrounding environment, in order to play a role in hiding people's ears and eyes.

However, this magic has a fatal weakness, that is, once the surrounding magic fluctuates violently, the resonance state will be instantly lifted.

Obviously, Chen Ming just planned to see what those black shadows wanted to do, and he didn't plan to make a move.

Among the dark shadows, the leader asked, "Are the sub-people asleep?"

Beside him, another man said, "All asleep." ”

"Hmmm......"

The former touched his chin and said, "Then let's do it!"

"Good. ”

A few people nodded, then scattered.

"What are they here for?"

After the black shadows dispersed, Chen Ming's figure appeared where they were before, frowning and thinking, "There doesn't seem to be anything worthy of such a high-level demon's coveting here, right?"

Chen Ming's perception of magic power is extremely keen, although the magic power of those figures just now is vague, but it is not difficult for him to capture a trace.

And in his perception, the magic power level of these people was all at the fifth order, and even the one who was the leader was already about to advance.

"Generally third-order subhuman villages, what is there for them to come?"

Chen Ming thought about it for a long time, but he didn't get a reason, just when he was about to sneak back, he suddenly remembered that yesterday, on the menu of the Moonlight Restaurant, there was a dish made of subhuman flesh and blood, the price of which was as high as twenty silver coins, even more than the flesh and blood of some fifth-order demonic beasts.

"Children's Brains ......"

Tatsunami confirmed their identity, "Poachers!"

At this time, the scattered figures reappeared, and in their hands, there were also a few more sacks, which contained some kind of animal, struggling desperately.

Chen Ming disappeared into the space again, and the black shadow also gathered here at this time.

"Hehe, this harvest is good!"

One of the dark shadows laughed, "The only benefit of these lowly subhumans is that they can reproduce fast enough!"

"Shut up. ”

The leader said, "Although even if we are discovered, the subhumans will not dare to do anything to us, but the Nightmare City has explicitly forbidden us to hunt children, and it is still a little troublesome to be discovered!"

"The boss taught me a lesson!"

The dark shadow nodded respectfully, and then flattered, "Then this time ......"

"You guys are indispensable!"

The leader pursed his lips and said, "Go!"

And just like that, the group disappeared into the night.

And Tatsunami witnessed all this, he didn't pursue, and he didn't even intend to tell Isabella, he was curious about what this catwoman who regarded the subhumans in Xicheng as family would do.

Quietly returning to the lawn, Tatsunaru lay back in his original place, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.

When the first light of dawn fell on the earth, all three of them woke up from their sleep, because Tatsunato did not intend to leave like this, Isabella went to the village to help the people as usual, and Hayley followed, while Tatsunaru remained in the thatched hut.

It wasn't until noon that the two of them returned, Hayley was nothing, but Isabella had a lingering sadness on her face.

Chen Ming frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I always feel that there is something strange about the villagers today. ”

Isabella said, "I could see their anxiety, but every time I asked, they didn't want to say it. ”

"Also, the number of children in the village is significantly lower today. ”

Hayley continued, "But when we asked, they moved the subject away, Charles, don't you think it's a little strange?"

"The kids may have gone somewhere else to play. ”

Chen Ming smiled and comforted, "Isn't this strange?"

"But I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Isabella shook her head stubbornly, turned and walked out the door, "I'd better go and have another look." ”

"I'll go too. ”

Chen Ming automatically asked, "Maybe I can help somewhat." ”

"Good. ”

So, the two of them came to a dilapidated tiled house, and Isabella knocked on the door, "Uncle Til, are you there?"

"Is it Isabella?"

A deep man's voice came from inside the door, "Wait a minute. ”

After a while, the door opened, and a sturdy figure came out, it was a Tiger Clan, and the head of this village.

"Uncle Tyre, hasn't Ali come back yet?"

Isabella asked, glancing around the room.

Tyr was obviously reluctant to bring it up, and said, "Who knows where this little kid has gone crazy again, let's leave him alone." ”

Then he asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"We ......"

Isabella was about to speak, but was stopped by Chenming, who shook her head at her, looked at Tyre again, and said, "Uncle Tyre, Isabella is a little late today, and we haven't prepared lunch yet, do you think we can deal with it here?"

"This ......"

Tyr wanted to refuse, but when he saw Chenming's deep eyes, he suddenly trembled, and had to sigh, "Come in." ”

The two followed Tyr into the tiled house, only to find that in addition to Tyr, there was also a woman lying on the bed, as if she had fainted.

Isabella hurriedly ran over and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal. ”

"It's just overwork," said Tyr, "so wait a minute, I'll get some food." ”

"Good. ”

Chen Ming replied casually, and then turned his gaze to the other corners of the tiled house.

"Charles. ”

At the bedside, Isabella whispered, "Did you find anything?"

Chen Ming shook his head and said, "It seems that you still have to start with Uncle Til, don't say anything later, everything will be up to me." ”

"Hmm. ”

In front of the low dining table, the three of them squatted there, eating the inferior food on the table.

"Uncle Til, you know what?"

Chen Ming chewed the food in his mouth and said, "When I was at the academy, in addition to magic classes, I also learned a little bit of medicine, although it was only a surface, but I can see that my aunt's fainting is not caused by overwork. ”

He looked at Tyre, whose pupils were constricted, and smiled, "It's because of the coma caused by too many mood swings, so ......"

"What the hell is going on?"
