Chapter 105: Strange Resentment
"Lost?" Sui Yu's surprise is not to mention, if it's just Millie's own, maybe it's not an accident to chase it (Millie's guy is more out of the box, and a careless mistake leads to the failure of the mission). But Hakoya is an all-round mage, and what she is best at is teleportation in space magic, and with the ability to teleport, Sui Yu really can't imagine that Hakya will chase down the target.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Hakya said to Sui Yu with a look of shame: "I disappointed the Supreme Lord! Punish me! ”
"Alright, alright! Don't punish and punish at every turn! Sui Yu hurriedly helped Hakya and Millie, who was half-kneeling on the ground with Hakya, and asked the two at the same time: "Hurry up, how did you chase and lose?" ”
Then Hakoya and Millie told each other about the previous tracking process.
According to the two of them, the "little goblin" seemed to have a very keen sense, and as soon as the two of them set off, the other seemed to sense the intentions of the two and made a change of direction in the air at the first time.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party hadn't been out of Wendy's water mirror monitoring, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't have been able to catch up with that little goblin at all.
However, after Wendy corrected the direction of their flight through message magic, the goblin finally appeared within the sight of the two girls after a few minutes.
What followed was a somewhat rapid chase, and the goblin's flight method seemed to be extremely peculiar, not only could it not feel the wind magic fluctuations produced by the flying technique, but it could also change direction in the air in a volley that violated any mechanics.
also because of the weird flight pattern of the little goblin, coupled with the inability to determine the relationship between the child's disappearance and the goblin and the inability to attack, the two girls and a little goblin chased each other in the sky for a long time, and no one could help anyone.
Just when Hakoya was about to block the way of the little goblin with an air maneuver and teleportation, the little goblin suddenly disappeared from the sky!
"Yes, just disappear into thin air! I didn't feel any kind of spatial fluctuation. It wasn't space magic, and the goblin did have an impact on the air along the way during the flight, proving that it wasn't a phantom but a real entity. So I couldn't figure out why the goblin as an entity disappeared inexplicably, neither self-destructing and dissipating, nor using some weird magic. If I had to say it, it was as if the little goblin had suddenly been rejected and retreated from the law level by this world! Because the tracking beacon that I took the time to bless on the goblin suddenly disappeared at that moment. And it's not the vanishing of being destroyed at all, it's something like the feeling of a tracking beacon passing through a teleportation array and suddenly being teleported far beyond my perception! ”
Hakeya, a magical genius, couldn't seem to explain why the goblin suddenly disappeared at this time, especially after she explained for a long time, Sui Yu was even more confused by her explanation.
"Could it be that the goblins live in another world? Indeed, some magic masters know through sporadic records that many of the summoned beasts of the summoner's envoy are from other worlds, and the weak points in the space between the other world and this world will indeed allow some otherworldly creatures to come to our world. If the leprechauns are otherworldly creatures, then that explains why no one has been able to find the elprechaun lair. ”
Listening to Ai Xue's speculation, Hakoya shook her head and retorted, "I don't think so! Summoners also need to establish a spatial teleportation array to summon magical beasts, and that kind of magic circle will definitely produce violent spatial fluctuations, which I have already proven after encountering a summoner! As for the weak point of space, it does exist. But if you want to break through the spatial barrier, even if it is a weak point, you need to arrange a very powerful magic array, and the spatial fluctuations generated at that time are absolutely strong to the point that even ordinary people can perceive them! It definitely won't be like when the goblin disappeared just now! ”
After listening to the analysis of the battle concubines, Sui Yu sighed in disappointment and said, "So, is the clue of the little goblin interrupted?" ”
Unexpectedly, I finally found a little clue, but it was interrupted so easily, which is really depressing. In addition, Sui Yu thought that the clue of the little goblin might not be the real answer, so he suddenly felt a little disheartened, wondering if he could find a way to give up this task.
"It's not that it's not for nothing, at least I guess that the inexplicable disappearance of that little goblin is geographically restricted! In other words. The leprechaun could only suddenly disappear around here, otherwise he wouldn't have been chasing us through the air for so long. ”
Hakoya just finished speaking. Kanami's head twitched and she interjected: "Maybe people want to play with you?" ”
So everyone immediately yelled at this unobtrusive fellow: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”
Then Sui Yu gave instructions: "Anyway, continue to act according to the established task, look for clues during the day, and continue to wait for the little goblin at night!" ”
Zhan Ji: "Yes! ”
The next day, Sui Yu immediately decided to increase the frequency and density of the investigation after hearing that another child had disappeared in a certain place last night, and even in order to speed up the investigation and the scope of the suspect. Sui Yu once again dispersed the battle queens, from the original two-person team to a solo operation.
Although this arrangement is a bit risky, the combat power of the war queens is there. Besides, everyone can communicate with each other through message magic, so except for Ai Xue, who has no combat power and has relatively low combat effectiveness, is left in the hotel to act as a message magic transmission center (the range of effect of message magic is limited, and the farther away it is, the worse the effect.) So with Ai Xue in the center, it really doesn't work, and you can also transfer through Ai Xue). Sui Yu and his entourage all went out, trying to visit the entire puppet town and try not to let go of any detail.
It's a pity that two more days have passed, and in these two days, Sui Yu and the others have almost turned over the entire puppet town three times and have not found the existence of suspected suspects.
Thankfully, the townsfolk are so interested in finding out the truth about the disappearance, so even though many of them are being questioned by different warriors two or three times a day, they are still trying to tell what they know.
Of course, Sui Yu maliciously suspected that these townspeople, who lacked a pastime, regarded the war concubines as professional companions. Because according to Sui Yu's observation, most of the guys who were asked several times a day were idle and didn't talk about it, and it seemed that they were running around and taking the initiative to find the warrior queens!
Just when Sui Yu pondered whether he should set a standard to collect chat fees from those guys who took the initiative to chat with Zhan Ji, he was woken up by message magic that night.
It's still Wendy. The magnified water mirror still shows a flying goblin.
Except for the clothes on his body that seemed to be a little luxurious, he was almost no different from the little goblin before, so Sui Yu immediately ordered Hakya and Millie to intercept them, and allowed the two battle queens to use attack magic when needed.
However, the final result was still a failure, because the little goblin was too flexible when flying, and the other party's perception seemed to be surprisingly high. Even the space slash arranged by Hakya in advance was able to detect it in advance and dodged it with an extremely delicate cobra maneuver, and at the same time used the space slash arranged by Hakya to block the pursuit of the two women.
So after a chase in the air and a magic attack that didn't work, the goblin finally disappeared in an airspace like the goblin that appeared for the first time.
However, Sui Yu did not get angry because of this, but greeted Hakoya and Millie with a smile on their faces.
"I've let the Supreme Lord down again!" Hakya and Millie continued to plead guilty with a look of shame, but Sui Yu smiled and helped the two of them to ask with concern, "You are not injured, are you?" It's good that you don't get hurt! ”
The smiling Sui Yu made the two war queens a little hairy, so Millie boldly asked, "Lord Supreme, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay! Do you think I look like someone in trouble? ”
"Like!" Seeing the eyes of the two girls who seemed to be looking at a neuropathy, Sui Yu finally couldn't help but ask the two of them with a black line: "What kind of eyes are you two?" ”
"However, it is clear that our mission has failed. Why do you seem happier? ”
Listening to Hakeya's question, Sui Yu explained with a smile: "Actually, Mina, she has roughly confirmed the possible location of the murderer!" ”
"Really?" The two battle queens were extremely excited when they heard this.
"Really!" Sui Yu explained while waving his hand and leading the two battle queens to the lobby of the hotel: "By taking the location of the two goblins missing last time and this time as the origin, with the help of the two-point ranging method, they should soon be able to calculate the location corresponding to the center point of their disappearance range!" Although there is a certain amount of error, at least it can help us narrow down a lot, so that we can find clues about the goblin more targeted! ”
"Two-point ranging method?!" With a rare look of excitement, Hakoa said to herself, "I should have thought of it a long time ago!" ”
Soon, Sui Yu and the three of them came to the lobby of the hotel. Because Sui Yu and them were invited to investigate the mysterious incident, the innkeeper directly contracted the entire hotel to Sui Yu and them (because they were affected by the mysterious incident. The hotel business was not very good), so Sui Yu and the others could use any of the hotel's facilities at will without worrying about someone coming to disturb them.
At this time, the other war queens are constantly writing calculations on paper and are still checking each other repeatedly, according to Philomena's explanation, they must perform three calculations before they can really bring in the positioning calculation, so the other war queens are busy calculating formulas and checking formulas at this time.
Of course, Kanami, who is in charge of selling cuteness professionally, was not arranged to be in charge of the calculation. Because everyone knows that this guy's math scores in elementary and middle school have never exceeded 30......
Soon, Philomena got the calculated data and used the ice chips Wendy had constructed to mark it on the map of the newly drawn puppet town.
Speaking of this map, it is naturally the credit of Hakoya and Millie. If they hadn't taken the time to use flying to draw this map at high altitude, it would have been difficult for Philomena and them to pinpoint it.
"What's here?" Sui Yu pointed to the location on the map that was circled by Philomena with a red pen and asked everyone.
"Here?" Wendy, who often monitors the entire town with water mirrors, thought for a moment and replied, "It's the aristocratic district." The largest building is a manor, which seems to be the place where the descendants of the puppet master once lived. ”
"Is this it?" Philomena frowned slightly and reminded Sui Yu: "Because the little goblin has moved before disappearing twice, and the law of the disappearance of the third goblin has not been obtained for the time being, so we can't confirm our guess, if we have wronged the good people, it will be troublesome!" ”
"Yes, this center is just our guess, so be careful when investigating tomorrow. Don't let people think we're here for trouble! ”
After speaking, Sui Yu arranged for everyone to rest.
Sui Yu wasn't too anxious, he even planned to investigate slowly first, and then wait for the third goblin to appear and use the three-point positioning method to more accurately locate the possible center point.
Of course, the reason why Sui Yu is so unanxious is because the little goblin has something to do with the child's disappearance, and in the end, it is just a guess, in case even if he finds the goblin lair and finally proves that the goblin has nothing to do with this matter, it is also possible.
But. When Sui Yu heard early in the morning that the son of the mayor of a nearby town was missing last night, he still realized that he was afraid that a child would go missing every day of delay, and the consequence of the disappearance might be that a young life would be lost, Sui Yu personally led the team to the possible center of the goblin incident located by Philomena after breakfast.
The manor that seems to have been where a puppet master once lived is located in the middle of the town, because this is a noble district, and the homes of the mayor and some officials are also located on this street, resulting in the most soldiers patrolling this street, making the atmosphere of the whole street very serious, so Sui Yu did not come here when he investigated before.
Now that he came over, Sui Yu found that although the atmosphere of this street was full of depression, the environment was very good.
The sparse pedestrian scene is quieter, and the weather is cooler when walking in the shade of the trees beside the road. made Sui Yu have the urge to set up a table next to the street and drink coffee and mix for a day while enjoying the coolness.
"It's so cool, I want to stay here for a while! In other words, aren't there any teahouses and taverns on this street? We can find a place to enjoy the rare coolness and tranquility of this hot summer day before investigating! ”
Well, Sui Yu didn't just think about it, but said it directly.
However, after listening to Sui Yu's request, the battle concubines looked at Sui Yu with a strange expression and wanted to stop talking, while Philomena directly asked the confusion of the war concubines: "Yu, you say that you feel very comfortable here?" But although this place feels cold mentally, don't you think the atmosphere is very oppressive and even very gloomy? ”
"Depressed and eerie? Don't think so? Wait, everyone feels depressed and gloomy, but I feel very comfortable in a situation that seems like we've encountered it before, right? ”
listened to Sui Yu's reminder. Philomena, who had thought of this for a long time, nodded with a serious face and replied, "That's right, in that special food shop. We've had similar feelings! ”
Since Snow was following everyone and looking around with some curiosity, she didn't know what she was looking at, so Philomena didn't go into too much detail when she mentioned the gourmet restaurant where she rescued Catwoman.
"Could it be that there are also unjust souls gathering around here?! Wait a minute! This neighborhood is also at the center of the suspected disappearance of the child! Could it be that all the missing children are dead by this time?! ”
Rao is Sui Yu's lack of identification with the human beings in this world, after thinking of how thousands of parents would be grief-stricken if they knew that their children had died, Sui Yu still couldn't help but feel very sad in his heart, and even because he wanted to escape the sad scenes that might appear, Sui Yu had the idea of going home and not continuing to investigate an extremely cruel answer.
"That's not right!" Philomena felt it carefully and said to Sui Yu, "Although this kind of resentment can be felt in a large area nearby. But what makes me very strange is that this resentment does not contain strong negative emotions such as hatred, anger, bloodlust, etc., and seems to be simply a natural phenomenon formed by feeling injustice or resentment. ”
"This place is where local officials live, so it seems reasonable that such a strange natural phenomenon has been formed, right?" Sui Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, even if it was self-deception. Sui Yu really didn't want to be sure of the fact that so many children had all died innocently.
"Perhaps, but I've always found it odd that such a large area of resentment is so evenly distributed around here, and the coverage of this resentment always gives me a strange feeling that it seems to have something to do with it!"
"Forget it, if you can't figure it out, you won't want to!" Sui Yu interrupted Philomena's speculation and immediately ordered the battle concubines to investigate.
While the war concubines scattered to investigate, Sui Yu, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble because of her appearance, led the little cat girl to walk along the main street of this aristocratic district.
Anyway, the people in Puppet Town knew that they were here to investigate the disappearance of the child, so the patrol soldiers they met along the way did not interrogate Sui Yu and them. So, Sui Yushun smoothly wandered from the street to the end of the street.
As soon as he looked up, Sui Yu found that it seemed that further on was the ordinary area of the puppet town.
Just when Sui Yu found that he seemed to have accidentally walked out of the aristocratic district and was about to turn back to find Philomena and they were rendezvous, the little cat woman suddenly pointed to a richly decorated shop at the intersection of the aristocratic district and the civilian area and asked Sui Yu, "Mom, what kind of store is this?" Why are there so many motionless children in it? ”
Sui Yu glanced at the cupboard of the store and found that it was full of dolls wearing various clothes, as well as the clothes attached to the dolls or the toy room, and explained to Catwoman, "This is a doll shop that specializes in selling dolls for children. By the way, my Xiaoxue should like to play with dolls, right? So let's go pick a puppet, shall we? ”
Catwoman still seemed a little confused about what the doll was and what it was for, but Xue immediately nodded obediently when she heard Sui Yu ask her (what a good child).
So Sui Yu pulled the little cat girl into the dazzling doll shop, but as soon as he entered the door, Sui Yu couldn't help frowning...... (To be continued.) )
