It's evening again, and night is about to fall completely.

In a dark alley.

"Damn, is the sphere of influence of you vampires so swollen that even a few cities without such magicians are going to make trouble?"

The woman complained as if she had taken it for granted, and by the way took the cigarette in her mouth.

The crisp rhythm of her heels tapping the ground sounded, and she was closing forward.

"Nope! No...... Don't come here! Don't come near me! ”

Not far from her was a bloodstained and ragged foreign youth with multiple blackened burn marks. He stared at the other man in horror and let out a scream like a breakdown.

Even desperately sat on the ground and stepped back with his hands, as if the mature woman in front of him was some terrible devil, and he frantically wanted to stay away from each other.

However, this could not change his fate -

"Come out—" It was a commanding majesty that could not be refused.

Placing the bag he was holding on the ground, Aosaki Orange kicked it hard with her toes. In response, the bag opened with a "click", but the inside was empty.

At the same time, a black object surrounded a magician named Orange Aosaki.

It was like a typhoon with a body, and it was spinning at high speed with a woman as the eye of the typhoon. In a matter of seconds, the alley was empty.

The young man didn't have time to make a wail, and disappeared without leaving a trace.

All that's left is the orange magician, the bag at the magician's feet, and the cat sitting in front of the magician...... If that monster could really be classified as a cat.

It is larger than an orange, its body is completely black, and it has no so-called thickness, it is simply a flat black cat made of shadows. It resembles the shadow of a cat, with eyes resembling Egyptian hieroglyphs only on the part of the head.

Taking a hard puff of his cigarette, the orange magician frowned and looked around at the traces of the battle he had just left, and finally decided to ignore these things.

"What a nuisance, how many are these?"

She couldn't understand at all that there were bloodsuckers in a place like Guanbuzi City, and there were more and more of them since a few days ago, and they couldn't be killed no matter how they were killed.

Linked to the news that the Templar Church is said to be going to open a branch church in the local area, Aozaki Orange is keenly aware that maybe something has happened that he doesn't know, and it is inseparable from Kanbuzi City?

However, frowning, she thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything that had happened recently that was worth noting, and that might be related to both the Templar Church and the Vampires.

Except for the after-effects of those events caused by Aruba more than two months ago, but those things were directly handled by that guy, and they did not have any bad impact on himself and the firm at all.

Although the Magic Society and the Abbey of Schuppenheim would certainly not rest on their laurels and lose so many members, if they really pretended to have nothing to do with it, then they would not be far from disintegrating internally.

Now they are stopping their actions only because they are reassessing the risks, making new plans, and not wanting to consume their vitality in a senseless way.

It may be a short process, but it can also be a long one, and if they feel like hyenas, they will pounce on them like hyenas...... The silence at the moment definitely doesn't mean that they don't care, it's just that they don't plan to give away any more heads before the situation is clear.

In other words, it is impossible for that shit in Aruba to affect the situation of the Templar Church and the Vampires, so it should have nothing to do with the Magic Society and the Abbey of Shubenheim - although they may take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

"Forget it, go back and ask ......"

Aozaki Orange didn't bother, the reason why she didn't ask the other party about the specific information just now was because she already had an idea in her heart, and she wasn't sure if that bastard would lie to herself.

……

……

"Vampires? Is it a vampire? ”

Asakami Fujino frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised to hear this word.

"Yes, but in our words, it would be Dead Apostles......"

Aozaki Takashiko, who had just returned to the office, said casually, reaching out to close the door as she took off her coat and hung it on the hook behind the door.

"The Vampire Species is a general term for creatures that feed on the blood of living beings, and the "Dead Apostles" and "True Ancestors" are also classified in this category. Most of the vampires are Dead Apostles, which are basically formed by humans through certain processes. ”

"Dead Apostles?" The eldest lady-like girl chewed on the word, as if she was trying to understand.

And the two ceremonies sitting next to her wore a red jacket today, looking heroic, and Wen Yan also looked a little interested: "Orange, are you going out these nights to deal with the problem of vampires?" ”

"Well, I don't know why, all of a sudden a lot of those things have come to this city these days...... Even the Templar churches were drawn in. ”

Placing the bag in his hand on the sofa, the puppeteer sighed as if he was a little tired, stretching out his slender index finger to rub his eyebrows and temples.

"The most troublesome thing about vampires is that many of them are just living corpses, and they don't know what moderation is...... If left unchecked, a city could fall to their lair in less than two months. ”

"The one I just solved is a human-turned-vampire.,It's basically the same as the legendary image.,To suck human blood.,The human who has been sucked by blood becomes a servant of his servants.,He's constantly expanding his territory like this-"

“……”

“……”

"Such a person...... No, I mean, are there more vampires like that? Kuroki also frowned, "Speaking of which, will the recent serial killings have anything to do with it, this morning's news report says that there are new victims......"

"Many, very many, I don't know what nerves they have, running towards the city, and there are more real dead apostles hibernating, besides those who don't know how to live and die and expand their territory."

Aozaki Orange did not hide it, and directly revealed her opinions.

Something is wrong with the situation, and not knowing anything does not mean that she can stay out of it, unless she can follow everyone at all times and provide them with close protection 24 hours a day.

But this is obviously impossible.

So it's better to tell them the situation directly and let them have a judgment. To be honest, at this time, I am still thinking about concealing the situation, carrying everything by myself and facing it alone, I'm afraid it's not stupid to a certain extent.

I don't have the ability to solve all the problems directly, but I want to let the people close to me not have to worry about it, and I don't tell them anything-

Isn't this an obvious result? After all, everyone on the street can be dangerous non-humans! Vampire species!

Can people hide their ears and steal the bell without knowing anything, and improve the safety factor?

"I suspect that the Templar Church's burial mechanism has already moved, so in addition to those bastards who can't get on the table, I'm afraid that there are quite a few Ancestral Dead Apostles...... Oh, it's really lively enough, don't you think this summer is lively enough? ”

Aozaki Orange looked in Mu Xiu's direction, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.

"Ancestral level? True Ancestor? Kurokuchi Blossom also seemed to be interested, and looked up from the subject arranged by Aozaki Orange, and asked with great interest.

"No, although some True Ancestors have also been counted among the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, the Dead Apostles and True Ancestors are still different...... However, they are stronger, but they are also relatively more restrained, or more intelligent. ”

The puppeteer shrugged.

"Maybe some of them will be unscrupulous in other places, but at least in this city, it's not their territory, and there are other ancestors and people from the rival camp, who won't easily expose their ......"

At the very least, those Ancestral Rank Dead Apostles will be well hidden and law-abiding more than anyone else until their target appears.

Such a thought appeared in Aozaki Orange's heart, but she didn't say it, just sighed, and turned her head to look at someone who had never had a sense of existence.

"My advice is, starting tomorrow, no, starting tonight, whether you go home or where you go or do anything, first look at this little devil to make sure there is no problem-"

"I'm not a little ghost!"

Kuramime Ryuxia retorted with some annoyance.

However, Aozaki Orange ignored the little ghost, and just looked at someone again: "But this is not enough insurance, after all, sometimes you may not act according to your original ideas, and those guys are not bound by common sense......"

“……”

“……”

"Don't look at me like that, I made two talismans in the workshop on the third floor, let the two brothers and sisters take one." Mu Xiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Then again, can't you directly explain your requirements, you always have to knock on the side like this." ”

"Amulet, it's really insincere...... Can it bless the bearer with good fortune? The puppeteer didn't care what the other party said, but showed obvious disgust.

"Yes, to be honest, if you take it and buy a lottery ticket, the probability of winning will increase." Mu Xiu said helplessly, and then saw Cangqi Orange's eyes lit up.

He hurriedly explained in advance before what might happen: "I only found time to make two, don't think about using them to buy cigarettes." ”

"What, what a stingy guy...... Why only two? ”

"Isn't this a matter of course, in the office, both of them have no ability to protect themselves...... "Mu Xiu said bluntly.

Even if it is the little ghost head of Kuramimu Ruxia, it is absolutely impossible to be easily involved in danger, and in addition, only Kurokuri, who is completely an ordinary person, and Kurokuchi, who has just practiced magic, are in need.

Although it is said that Kuroki Flower also relied on some special methods to quickly complete the basic accumulation of magic cultivation, but she is not Asagami Fujino after all, and her anger phenomenon is not as good as the distorted Demon Eye, and she cannot quickly become a terrifying combat power.

"Forget it......" waved his hand a little dissatisfied, and Aozaki Orange no longer bothered about the problem of the amulet, but just looked at Mu Xiu meaningfully-

"But this time you will be so kind to prepare in advance, does it mean that this time it is actually related to you?"

“……”

“……”

Mu Xiu's eyes widened: "Why are you so innocent out of thin air......

……

……

The streets without lights are filled with moonlight shining through the sky.

Three figures stood silently in the dark shadows.

"Is there no one coming to this park?"

Looking at the park in the center of the city in front of her, looking at the silent and uninhabited interior, and the faintly shining golden light in it, the girl who looked like a princess who was only fourteen or fifteen years old on the outside seemed to be quite puzzled and asked.

In the face of her question, two tall and straight knight-like men behind him knelt on one knee at the same time, and one of them seemed to be a little helpless:

"I can't hide it, His Royal Highness Ji Jun...... If it weren't for the fact that you felt some kind of echo to come here, we, and we had completely ignored the existence of this park until now. ”

"Totally ...... Ignored? ”

Kuroghime Eltruki Brunstadt bowed slightly, as if he had realized something.
