Chapter 10: The People in the Dark Night

Time passes, day and night turn back.

The bright sky is replaced by a shining moonlit night, but the city is still bustling with playgrounds, shopping malls, and other facilities, and the constant activity is the source of everything, so that the hustle and bustle continues.

Looking at the time displayed on the phone, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, Gu Wu, who was holding chopsticks in his hand, put aside the chicken bones in the bento, and this was Luise and Tina, who were also enjoying dinner, and started chatting.

"Nana, I said Sister Tina, this carrot is too unpalatable, isn't it? Don't you think so? ”

"I think it tastes pretty good......"

"Really? You don't have to lie, so let's throw it away! ”

Louise, who hates carrots, stares at the vegetable inside the bento box with a dilemma on her face.

One of the reasons is because Gu Wu said that you should eat enough and not waste; The second reason is based on the first reason, after all, Louise thinks that picky eating will attract Gu Wu's reprimand, but if there is a companion, this probability can be reduced.

"Actually, you don't have to be obedient on purpose, anyway, Sister Tina already has a good image."

"What the hell are you talking about......?"

Tina, who looked puzzled, asked as she put the carrot into the bowl and took a few bites of her speech.

"I don't think there's any need for Louise to force herself on purpose, and if it's unpalatable, she won't eat it...... Originally, we were here to catch monsters, but it's not right to think about it and waste time and energy for this kind of thing......"

Tina's words make a lot of sense, she always grasps the focus of this operation, which is to 'discover' and 'capture' the monsters that are targeted, so as to put an end to the chaos and panic they create.

"But the master said that you have to eat it to finish, and if you waste it, ......"

It seems that Loiss doesn't like carrots very much, and Gu Wu, who expressed her understanding, did not continue to force her to eat all the side dishes.

Gu Wu, who put the chicken and rice in his mouth, swallowed it into his stomach with five by two, and then declared to Luise

"If you don't like it, forget it, wait for us to act, don't be affected by this matter."

"Okay! Thank you, master!

"Quieter ......"

Gu Wu put the eaten lunch box into the bag, and Altair, who was still standing on the edge of the roof at this moment, withdrew his gaze.

"The time is coming soon, I don't have time for you to waste time there, prepare to keep up."

"Until then...... Does Miss Altair really not eat a little? ”

"I told you before, I don't need to take nutrients now."

Altaïr is a creature, but after coming to this world, the plot has been completely changed and distorted, and she should be out of the category of creation, not simply 'created'.

However, judging from the current situation, even if Altai has a more independent setting than in the past, and is no longer a creature bound by data and settings, she has always maintained some of her 'non-human' attributes.

The 'non-human' attribute here doesn't just mean her 'omniscient' skill, but also includes some of her common sense.

"It's finally finished...... Master, where is that person going? Going to kill again? ”

"Who knows, but it's understandable to go hunting with your companions at night."

Faced with Luise's question, Gu Wu expressed his guess.

Tina, on the other hand, came up with a different idea.

"Maybe it's not to cooperate with a partner, but to have another purpose......

With that, Tina also moved to the edge of the roof, staring at the scene below to add lines

"There is also the possibility of discovering us and preparing traps for us......"

Hearing Tina's analysis, Louise mimicked the movements of the presenter in the roadside advertisement, placing her hands on her chest and clapping them lightly as proof of approval.

In fact, Tina's concerns are also reasonable, and the possibility that Altair was discovered by the suspicious person also exists.

But for this speculation, the party who has been observing the scene has made a denial.

"I kept my distance while following her, and I used my skills to hide my aura, if there is a real possibility of being discovered by her, then there is only one ......"

Altair turned and said

"That's when we got into the playground."

Her self-confidence comes from Shimazaki Instant's setting and the ability of countless netizens to add, so it is impossible for her to simply expose her identity with 'Senluo everything'.

Gu Wu, who belongs to the centrists, has a way to solve this kind of problem that is not a method, and that is to act cautiously.

There's a strong lineup here, but what if those monsters still have killer features?

So in terms of risk-taking, it is impossible to take risks.

After a while, when Gu Wu knotted the bag containing the lunch box, he was grabbed by two little girls and dragged to the observation point.

"Master, that person is moving."

"The ...... Heading North"

Where will it go?

Of course, when Gu Wu was thinking about it, he had to track the past, but this time there was no difference from before.

It was Altair, who could still use her abilities freely, and the chance of her being found was the lowest, followed by Gu Wu, Luise, and Tina, who were a little farther away and followed the prompts.

Although that group of monsters was not Altaïr's opponent at all, now that they had come to the present, Gu Wu planned to go and see what the situation was as soon as possible.

Gu Wu, who was in contact with Altair, received a call from Harriet on the way, and the young girl contacted Gu Wu because she wanted to invite him to dinner.

[I was going to invite you earlier, but I had to deal with the rest of the questions before, do you have time now?] I was able to arrange for a car to come there right away. 】

Not to mention whether she is hypocritical, even if it is really Gu Wu, it is impossible to pass.

"I'm sorry, but I have a problem that I have to deal with."

[Could it be that Mr. Gu Wu has an eyebrow for a series of events that have occurred? 】

"To be confirmed, let's stop here."

Gu Wu hung up the communication, looking at the increasingly remote roads around him, the suspiciousness of the target woman became higher and higher.

————

The communication was unilaterally hung up, and Harriet, who was not angry, also took this opportunity to confirm one thing.

"Mr. Todd, please let the people around you go immediately, the communicator handed to Mr. Gu Wu has a positioning device on it, so be sure to find him within five minutes, but remember to tell them, don't startle the snake."

"I'll do it right away."

Harriet breathed a sigh of relief at the instructions, she had always felt that those people were somewhat unfathomable, and now she suspected that they possessed anomalous powers.

The reason why she said this was because Harriet had a certain degree of suspicion about Gu Wu, the 'ruler'.

He is very young, too young, can ordinary people really have the right to rule the world at such a young age?

Obviously, either Gu Wu had abnormal abilities, or someone behind him was fueling the troubles and allowed him to get into this position.

It just so happens that people live and work in peace and contentment on the surface, and even if there is an incident, it will not become a climate, and the average standard of living is not bad as it is now, which is also reducing some conflicts on the surface.

Even so, there was a lot of struggle in the shadows, and Harriet always suspected that her parents were not in the accident, but for another reason.

"You have to take responsibility."

With that, Harriet's door was pushed open, and Fanny walked in through it.

She was dressed like Harriet's female secretary, and when she first came in, she had a serious expression, and once the door was closed, she looked like an idiot.

"Miss Harriet-sama has worked hard!!"

"Sister Fanny...... It's too tight......"

"My arms are open to the eldest lady at any time!"

Harriet knew that she was regarded as the jewel of her palm, but she had no idea of becoming an ornament.

Having inherited everything from her father and having the rights, Harriet will work hard to become a better version of herself and stabilize the current situation.

The most important of these is to catch the perpetrators.

The monsters that began to emerge at some point often operate in the dark, and although most of the events that occurred were suppressed, Harriet knew that if it continued like this, it would definitely be exposed, which would cause panic in society.

"Just get used to it, miss."

"...... habits?"

"The world is always beautiful on the surface, there are always positive and negative sides, and most of what you see is easy to see and willing to see."

There are secrets lurking everywhere, but no one knows about them, or very few people know about them.

"Okay, Miss, I'll go to the scene for you to take a look, the big man who came here to investigate may really make a new discovery."

Fanny gently pinched Harriet's cheek as she walked to the door and took off her heels.

"Please be careful."

Harriet is well aware that troublemakers are not gentle with good deeds.

————

Troublemakers are not easy to deal with, no matter where they are, but this law is only for ordinary people.

Altaïr has 'Senluo everything', Gu Wu can 'copy artists', and the other two Loli are still starters who surpass ordinary people, and it is impossible to be defeated against the monsters seen in the video.

Caution was just in case, and the somewhat inflated Gu Wuke was not carried away by the power.

[Continue to the left.] 】

Hearing Altair's prompt, Gu Wu began to turn left, and a path at the foot of the mountain appeared in his field of vision.

Occasionally, you can see people building houses in the mountains and forests, and sometimes the new houses are villas for the wealthy.

Some people yearn for the city, while others fall in love with quietness and simplicity, and it seems that money can really manipulate people's hearts and do whatever they want.

Maybe once you jump into the impetuous city, you will really miss the ridges and ears of wheat you see along the dirt road.

Not to mention this, Gu Wu, who began to move forward in the forest path, was at least a thousand meters away from the target person, so the probability of being discovered was not high, and everything was going smoothly.

"Master, what are you going to do when you see her?"

"If you come to this kind of place at night, you must first seize it and ask about it."

"Then cut off one of her legs in advance!"

"Don't do it in advance......"

Gu Wu didn't want the talks to collapse at the beginning.

If that woman really had something to do with monsters, or even monsters themselves, then everything had to change.

Suppressing a dangerous enemy was the first priority, and gentleness was not useful at that time.

"Anyway, if you feel hostile, you attack."

Gu Wu changed his decision just now, which made Lu Yisi nod excitedly.

"It's downhill......"

Tina on one side reminded the two of them that the forest road that had originally led to the depths began to extend downward, and Gu Wu also changed its path.

[She meets her 'friend' and looks suspicious, and I will strike first.] 】

As soon as he heard that Altaïr was going to take action, Gu Wu, who knew that he couldn't stop him, hurriedly increased his speed.

"Catch up!"

Gu Wu, who had just taken a step, was overtaken by two loli, but before they overtook Gu Wu, one of them stretched out an arm, holding Gu Wu's hands and running up.

Gu Wu, who felt that his whole person was floating in the air, had not yet reacted, and the momentum of this impact quickly stopped, and it turned out that they stepped on the nearby rocks and jumped up, jumped directly over the ravines and bushes, and arrived at the platform not far from the destination in one breath.

Boom ————! Not far away...... Something hits the earth!

As the smoke and dust rose, the two figures were swept away by the wind, and before they could make the next move, the billowing dust turned into a blow and pounced on them.

It was the impact and weight of the air, and then a man and a woman were pierced through the abdomen and left leg by the sharp blades created by Altair, and their bodies were reversed, rolling and colliding with the ground.

Although the enemy tried to flee, Altaïr immediately relied on additional attacks to knock down two opponents in an instant, completely not giving them any chance to counterattack.

The short commotion ended, and Gu Wu and the three of them ran over quickly.

In the center of the chaotic scene, the two people with red pupils were stuck in the ground with weapons, and not only that, their arms were swallowed into the ground, and there was no way to escape.

"Who are you?!"

The female voice is somewhat sharp.

"Damn humans!"

The man's voice was very low.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, if you cooperate, there is still a chance, if you continue to resist...... I think that opportunity will slip away. ”

Gu Wu talked to them in a steady tone, and incidentally stopped Luis, who was putting on a vicious expression at the two of them, this guy was really social when facing the enemy.

Altaïr also moved to Gu Wu's side, in front of the enemy, and they couldn't help but be a little shocked when they saw that the attacker was a young girl.

"I'm just here to find out the truth, so tell me who you are and what you're doing, and I'll make a judgment when the time comes."

Conversation has the effect of talking, and the condescending Gu Wu now has an absolute advantage.

But the conversation was not over, and the two little loli beside Gu Wu discovered a new movement.

"Master! Another enemy is coming! ”

"All around...... Enemy. ”

Surrounded by enemies in the shadows.

However, for Gu Wu, it was just an increase in intelligence sources.
