"Ah, it worked."

As Ellie strolled around, the female voice from before echoed through the city.

"Who?"

Unable to judge the direction of the source, she had to turn in a circle, but her hands were already caged into claws, guarding against possible enemy attacks at any time, and dealing with the crisis in front of her with a demon.

It's just that the female voice hesitated for a long time, and then she asked about Erli uncertainly.

"You......... Don't remember me... Is it so? ”

"I haven't seen you, and I naturally don't know you.

Don't pretend to be a ghost there, if you're going to kill me, come out with dignity. ”

There were stairs in front of her, which seemed to lead to something further afield, but they were obscured by a thick layer of black mist and kelp-like things, and Ellie couldn't make out what was there.

“…… Wow wow! What a faux pas! ”

The female voice, who was stimulated by the words just now, immediately incorporated her angry emotions into her words, but Ellie was vigilant for a while, but she didn't notice any strange phenomena.

"I thought you weren't one of my stupid servants, at least a reliable child!

Originally, I was tortured by a bunch of fish heads every day, and those inexplicable fish livers were given to me directly without any treatment!

Finally, in this city where I don't have a companion, I can come over with a child who can chat with me or eat!

It turned out to be a little violent maniac! I don't like that..."

"Shut up!!"

Erlie, who was already nervous, listened carefully to the other party's language, but was shocked by her powerful tone from all directions.

In a fit of rage, she shouted out, and in her own opinion, this effect must have been of no practical use at all.

"Woooooo I know...... So what are you doing..."

However, the voice stopped abruptly with grievances.

"What a hassle......

Rubbing her head, Ellie didn't plan to spend too much time here.

"Can you let me out?"

“… Belch...... Can you meet me for a while and then talk about leaving?

After all...... After all these years, not many people want to come and see me......"

The female voice whispered, but then it grew deeper and deeper, more like she was muttering, and Ellie didn't hear what she was saying.

"Huh?"

"It's just... Just meet me and show me what the real you look like.

I've never seen real children in person, but now I finally have a chance.

It's really convenient to have human blood, otherwise it's really a bit of trouble to get in touch with you. ”

As he spoke, the green lights of the city began to change their positions, as if deliberately marking the location leading to a place with a bright light.

"Humans? What do you mean? ”

Completely transformed into a demon, even the gender and part of the memory have been changed, and this is still human blood?

No...... Maybe so? Otherwise, will it take time to maintain the form of a demon?

And the female voice didn't quite understand, and asked suspiciously

"Are those delicious humans?

Although you compare to them, the delicious taste is much rarer...... If I had to say, it was a scent that attracted me. Well, in my opinion, it's more like Tulfemn and Lok-tufnr, I just don't know ...... you."

Seeing that she was about to continue with great interest, Ellie interrupted her again.

"Alright. This means that if I go up, I will be eaten by you, does that mean? ”

Paw... The armor on the body, and the tail, don't look like they're missing a piece, or what kind of suppressed feeling is?

Can you actually unlock your own demonization here? …… It doesn't seem to be as complete control as you think, but does it seem like it's just an interference?

"Not !!"

Hearing this, she saw that Elle had turned into a demon, and the female voice cried out again.

"I just want to see one of my kind!!"

"It's noisy."

After estimating her strength, Erli plans to go up, no matter what, I'm afraid it will be more passive to stay here.

If you can see the source of that female voice, at least you can respond immediately.

Is it better to be alone in this deserted stone complex and surrounded by green flames or lights?

"Anyway, after I go up, can you let me go back?"

Overshadowing the other man's voice, Ellie stepped up the stone steps step by step, asking into the void.

As soon as she said this, her originally impatient tone immediately became a lot more pleasant, and even a lot of excitement, and she was ready to ask without concealment, but Erli deliberately added.

"Calm down first...... Organize your sentences.

Please be concise and straightforward first, or I won't go up. ”

"Hmm......"

After snorting aggrievedly again, she took a long breath and slowed down her speech, but there was no change in her feelings.

"Yes, but can you stay with me for a while?

Just for a moment? … Well, just a little bit! ”

What the...... But after thinking about it, this shouldn't be nothing, it's just a look at her, and nothing will happen

“…… Good. ”

"That's great! Follow the path I marked, and when you get to the gate, remember to knock six and a half times and the door will open on its own!

Don't fail to knock! You shouldn't be used to my ontology! Human blood can make something happen to you! ”

"Six...... Half? ”

Ellie just thought she had heard it wrong, or was the voice wrong? What does it mean to knock on the door?

"It's okay! I'll tell you over there! Let's come over first! ”

She herself did not have the consciousness of this strange question, but was more cheerful to let Erlie go to her.

The latter, after thinking carefully for a while, had no choice but to do so, and continued to take his own steps, and continued to follow the path that someone had lit.

Elle walked on the stairs alone, without a single life, but the whole city seemed to be able to accommodate a million people. And as she continued to move towards that side, the originally rough slate gradually became refined, but this style can only be described as weird.

At first, it was fine, it was all simple concave and convex and dotted patterns, but as she walked inward, the situation became more and more strange, and the whole building, which was originally intact, gradually became the dynamic of the statue.

She had no idea what these things were, some of them had fangs and wings, some of them had countless knuckles sticking out of their backs, and some of their bodies were covered with eyeballs.

Further back...... I even felt a hint of a living wax figure, as if those things were guarding something and worshipping something.

In the center stood a small temple, but it wasn't as big as Ellie had imagined, and some of the buildings were taller than it was.

The staircase did not change at all, it was beautifully smooth, as if someone was taking care of it every day, and it led straight to the door of the temple.

"Seriously, you're in bad taste."

Although she is not afraid, Elle still doesn't like these things very much, it is too weird.

"Aren't these beautiful?"

But the female voice didn't think so at all, and instead had obvious doubts.

Obviously, she thought that there was something wrong with Ellie's vision, but the latter didn't intend to argue, she just snorted coldly, and after a while, stood in front of the door.
