309. The beginning of doubts and new candidates

"Miss, being kind to anyone is your rarest quality..."

The black man named Rutt spoke to Zero in front of him like a father.

"But human beings, more than you think, have 'malice...'"

"Evil... Meaning? ”

Zero tilted his head, not very understanding, and he also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But out of trust in the uncle in front of him, who had taken care of him for ten years, he chose to stand still and continue to listen to him.

"Human beings do not have good intentions for no reason, they always do so for various reasons and reasons..."

"And all this for one thing..."

"Interests..."

Dadada!

"I'll see... I've got a small weapon that can be bent..."

At this time, in the middle of the street of Snack Street, two automatic machine guns with reduced sound were pouring ammunition, knocking the white-masked people into their heads.

Behind the two machine guns, Hideyoshi slowly checked the weapons in his [cube].

After the incident at the last department store, Hideyoshi learned his lesson and took various weapons with him.

Although he didn't bring Yin and Twilight with him because of Zero's relationship, even so, his current equipment can single-handedly pick up the military strength of a battalion.

Come on! Let's see who kills whom!

"There is~"

I saw Hideyoshi take out a four-barreled rocket launcher from the block, carry it on his left shoulder, and open the operation screen on the right side.

"Search for heat sources, lock, fuse release, determine ballistics... Launch! ”

Woohoo!

With the appearance of four red tail flames, four rockets flew into the sky, and after another circle, they landed on the ground.

Boom Boom!

As the explosion sounded, several small snack bars on both sides of the street were directly blown up, and layers of smoke instantly enveloped the entire street.

"It's more powerful than I thought," Hideyoshi said, carrying the rocket launcher. But forget it, Xiao Hei also thought of this anyway. ”

With that, Hideyoshi took the rocket launcher back, took out a mask with a mourning expression, and put it on his face.

At this point, the two automatic machine guns had ceased firing and folded automatically, and Hideyoshi stepped forward and put them back into the block as well.

"Tactical eyepiece activation..."

On the mask, a faint yellow light appeared in front of Hideyoshi's eyes, and at the same time, two short-barreled shotguns were held in his hands.

【The hunt begins!】 (Mask sounds)

“... It's stupid..."

With a word of complaint, Hideyoshi walked into the smoke and dust.

... A few minutes later...

In a fairly intact snack bar, three members of the White Mask are hiding in it.

They dodged the first round of machine-gun fire and the second round of rocket scrubbing, and hid here trying to send a request for reinforcements.

As a result, communication is still unusable.

"Damn it!" A man in a white mask threw the mask from his face to the ground. "Fifty people, but up to now they are like blind people, and they don't know whether the enemy is a human or a ghost!"

"Lao Tzu TM is gone!"

With that, the man got up and walked out.

"Wait! Are you crazy?! At this point, another man stood up and stopped the man. Don't forget how the adults deal with the deserters! ”

"What?!" The man at first shouted. "What do you want me to do now? Go out with the weapon in your hand and fight desperately with something outside?! ”

"It's all death horizontally and vertically, why don't I fight! As long as I can get out, these things will never have anything to do with me anymore! ”

"You are..."

biu!

Suddenly, there was the sound of a small sharp object firing, and the two saw a tiny steel needle nailed to the forehead of the third person on their left, killing him instantly.

“... Don't move..."

Hideyoshi, dressed in a black cloak and wearing a weeping face mask, appeared beside the two of them like a ghost, aiming his shotgun at their heads.

"Answer me a question, or die here"

Almost at the same time, the two men threw their rifles to the ground and raised their hands.

"Where's that girl?"

"In... At the end of the snack street, she was with Lord Rutte..."

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and one of them smashed his head to the ground, while the other collapsed directly to the ground.

"Don't... Don't kill me... I, I, I..."

"You didn't make any superfluous little moves, so you didn't die." Hideyoshi said. "It's so close, it's splattered with my blood..."

"I'll let you go and find your own way out~"

Hideyoshi was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression, but judging by his tone, he seemed a little irritated?

"I'll have to wash up for a long time with this smell of blood," Hideyoshi muttered as he walked out of the store. Will these people die if they don't make trouble..."

.......

"Ji... Will you take advantage of me? ”

"Who knows..."

"After all, sometimes even we think that human beings are really dirty creatures..."

“......”

Zero was full of doubts about the words of the uncle in front of him, and he stayed in that room all the time, so that he had no idea about the deceit of this world.

And now, she received this all at once, and she was a little unacceptable.

Rumble!

At this moment, a loud explosion was heard, and dust was raised at the entrance.

"Zero? Are you in there? ”

Hideyoshi walked in with two shotguns and saw Zero.

However, Rout disappeared, the moment Hideyoshi entered.

After losing the figure of Root, Zero turned around and looked at Hideyoshi walking over.

"Are you alright? You don't say a word..."

"Ji, will you take advantage of me?"

"Huh?"

"What did you bring me out for?"

"Wait, wait, stop," Hideyoshi hurriedly stopped and continued to ask. Miss, you have to pay attention, you brought me out in the first place..."

"In some ways, I was innocently involved..."

"It's... Is it? (tilts his head)"

"At first, I just wanted to buy something, but I was somehow caught between the two teams of people who were fighting..."

"I finally got out, and then I got to the door of the place where you live..."

"In the end, you dragged me to 'run away from home', and I took you home..."

"Except for the last step, I'm all passive."

“... Oh..."

Faced with Hideyoshi's words, Zero continued to tilt his head and responded.

"Okay, okay, I guess I heard something strange." Hideyoshi scratched his head and said. "Let me sort it out..."

"First of all, do you know those people who wear white masks?"

Shake head (zero)

"What about the white-masked ones?"

Shake head (zero)

"Do you want to go with them?"

Shake head (zero)

"Do you want to go with me?"

(hesitates) and nods

"Did I force you?"

Shake head (zero)

"That's right~"

After saying that, Hideyoshi took Zero's hand.

"Let's go before the police or something come." Hideyoshi said. "You don't want to go back to that room just like that, do you?"

Zero's mind, which had been a little confused by Ruter's words, suddenly quieted down.

"Well, I believe in Kyoshi." Zero nodded obediently.

Doubts are dispelled, however, the seeds have been planted ...

In the end, what kind of fruit will be produced?

"Suck~exhal~"

Underneath a sundret building, the Black Whistling Dragon sat on a pile of corpses of small, red-skinned creatures, smoking a homemade cigarette in his hand.

"I didn't expect to meet a bunch of little devils~" The Black Howling Dragon sat on the pile of corpses, flicking the ashes. "Is there a small portal down there that leads to Hell?"

After speaking, Black Howling Dragon took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and then bounced it away.

At the same time, several fireballs ignited in the air, illuminating the empty room.

"Excavated?"

The black whistling dragon looked around at the empty surroundings and looked at the hole above his head.

"Judging by the pattern, this is artificially excavated, and there are quite a few of them..."The Black Howling Dragon took advantage of the light of the fireball and walked towards a door. Is it the evil of some people who believe in demons? Teach? Group? Weaving? ”

The Black Howling Dragon walked to the door and pushed open the dusty wooden door, and the fireball behind him flew in first, dispelling the darkness.

"What... None of them...? ”

The Black Howling Dragon walked in with a questioning tone and came to a wall.

There are shallow scratches on it...

"Clawed Demon... But why didn't I see it..."

At this moment, the shadow behind the Black Howling Dragon suddenly rolled up, and immediately after, a huge figure two people tall sprang out of the shadows and attacked the Black Howling Dragon.

[Just like the spell sequence - activated!] (The Book of Omniscience)

Mage Barrier Type III (Book of Omniscience)

While~!

A transparent semicircular magical stance appeared, enveloping the Black Howling Dragon, followed by a crisp sound of metal colliding.

"A Shadow Jumper?"

At this time, it was a clawed demon that was blocked from the [Mage Barrier], but unlike the blood red of the Black Howling Dragon's previous body, the color of this body was grayish, and he had a slender body and more slender and sharp claws than other similar ones.

"Roar!"

Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, the clawed demon roared, and the other claw lined up on the transparent mage barrier, and with the help of force, it retreated and burrowed into the shadows.

The Black Whistling Dragon controlled the fireball and followed, but lost the figure of the Clawed Demon

"It's really [Shadow Jumping]~" Black Howling Dragon said. "An assassin-type clawed demon? It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds~"

At this time, the Black Whistling Dragon's fireballs dispersed, so that there were no more shadows around the Black Whistling Dragon.

"Let's see how long you can stay in [Shadow World]~"

Roar~

A low roar came from where the glow of the fireball had failed.

Woohoo!

The surrounding fireballs immediately flew there, followed by an explosion.

Then, the moment the light disappeared, a huge figure appeared behind the Black Howling Dragon.

Boom Boom!

Roar!

Poof!

Behind the successive explosions, a beast-like roar sounded, and then a sharp weapon pierced the flesh? The voice of the body sounded.

Boom!

Three flames ignited, and the light returned.

"You're smarter than I thought~"

The Black Howling Dragon stood unscathed, while the shadow behind him pierced the ground like a spike, impaling the clawed demon and hanging it in midair.

Shadow Dance? Shadow Thorn!

"However, you are not the only one who will use the shadow~"

Tear it up!

In the next second, the clawed demon was torn apart, and blood splattered.

"I don't know what special effects its heart has~" In the hand of the black howling dragon, a black heart floated. "Old book, put it on~"

With that, the Book of All-Knowing appeared, opened it, and a blue magic array appeared, sucking the heart in.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

And at this moment, heavy footsteps sounded.

"Hmm~big guy~?"

Click!

Suddenly, a giant hand broke through the ground at the feet of the Black Whistling Dragon and grabbed it.

"It looks like the space below is bigger than I thought~"

Immediately after, the Black Howling Dragon was captured further into the lower layer.

......

Ten meters underground

In a small, dimly lit room, a flaming teleportation magic array flickered.

At this moment, a large, horned head was thrown in.

"Eh~ It's disgusting down here..."

The Black Howling Dragon, covered in demonic blood, walked in, carrying the head of another demon in his left hand.

"Anyway, what am I doing with the devil's head? Isn't the devil's lifegate the heart? The Black Howling Dragon threw away the head in his hand and said. However, the heart of the devil is not easy to take~ It's all in the book~"

As he spoke, the black howling dragon looked at the flickering magic array in front of him and cloaked his hands.

"Sure enough, there is a portal~ and it looks like it has been there for a while..."

"Huh?"

At this moment, the Black Howling Dragon found a figure lying on the wall to his right.

Boom!

Three fireballs ignited, emitting light and heat, illuminating the surroundings.

"A... Old man? ”

In front of the Black Howling Dragon was an old man who looked to be in his seventies, unconscious, while his right hand tightly grasped the necklace around his neck.

"Hmm... New employees have ~"

On the other side, the portal of the burning flame suddenly emitted a strong light, and the flames beat fiercely.

"But before that, I'll have to deal with the big guy that's coming~"
