The group of children saw Nero in the midst of their search.

And Nero, who has white hair and a cold and serious face, naturally exudes the aura of no one entering the living, and after seeing Nero, the children choose to run away.

What happened next, they didn't know.

"I see, okay, thank you." Bai Ye said, "Did you bring this box back?" I'll have you sent back. ”

He was very generous and stuffed the boy directly with the chest of gold.

The child shook his head again and again: "No, no, I don't want this payment." ”

"Oh?" Bai Ye stared at him with interest.

"I want to ask for your help." "The other adults are irresponsible, they are always forgetting, they can't help at all. ”

It sounds like a childish childish and laughing fairy tale.

But combined with the strange situation of the town, I have to say that there is some truth.

"You want me to help you find your brother?" Bai Ye asked.

"Yes, sir." The boy said, as if remembering something, and introduced himself, "My name is Joe." ”

"Joe, my name is White Night." Bai Ye stretched out his hand to the child in front of him.

This feeling of respect made Joe extremely happy, and he reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's finger and shook it vigorously.

"Then Mr. Bai, will you help me?" Joe dug into his pocket, pulling out a few crumpled and worn-out bills, and a few coins, "That's all we can offer." ”

That pitiful but expectant gaze, even Alex, the former boss, wants to help him a little.

"I'll go find my companion, if I see your brother—" Hakuya said, and only halfway through his words did he stop.

Then he laughed and said solemnly, "Okay, son, this is a deal, I promise you, I will find your brother, unless he has ......"

"Thank you, sir!" The excited child completely ignored the last words of the white night.

Anyway, the deal is opened.

White Night will help the boy find his brother while searching for Nero.

And the obvious rewards are those that don't add up to more than $50.

This made Alex have to sigh that the boss is really a capitalist.

Even the money of children is not spared.

Obviously, Alex didn't know that there was a Mr. Ma who often made children's money, and he made a lot of money, and he was about to become the richest man.

"Then let's go now." Mr. Bai, who earns children's money, stood up and said.

Joe looked at the sky outside and said, "No, you can't go out at night." ”

"Huh?" White Night looked at Joe.

Joe was a little distressed, and didn't seem to know how to explain to Bai Ye, an outsider: "I just can't go out, adults say so, so we don't go out at night, it's almost dark, I'm leaving." Mr. Bai, I'll come to you tomorrow morning and take you to that place when the time comes. ”

With that, Joe hurried away.

Running out into the street outside the inn, he waved his hand at the window and ran away with a puff of smoke.

"What an energetic child." Bai Ye said.

Alex looked at the money that had been casually thrown aside by the white night.

"I'm not going to trade for that." Bai Ye said.

Alex looked at White Night with some confusion.

"Just now, I was going to refuse, but I felt the scepter vibrate." Bai Ye said, spreading his hands.

A black staff of power appeared above his palm.

"Black, why does the Scepter react?" Hakuya asked, looking at the scepter that was no different from usual.

“…… Insufficient permissions. After a while, Black responded.

Insufficient permissions?

A long time ago, Hakuya also asked Black about some situations, and occasionally asked some questions, and Kuroku would answer Hakuya with insufficient authority.

But it's basically a question of what power you will have when you get promoted to the next level.

This time is different.

Black's answer proved that the scepter did move slightly at that moment.

White Night believes that the scepter's movement is absolutely inextricably linked to this strange town.

Since there's no way to get an answer from the black side, let's look elsewhere for the answer.

"Let's go, let's go there." Bai Ye said.

"Hmm." Alex nodded, Joe had already told them the location just now.

And Bai Ye and Alex are definitely not the kind of people who obediently wait here until tomorrow, and can't go out at night in the town?

Interesting.

Walking out of the inn, the innkeeper also told Bai Ye that they must come back before it gets completely dark, otherwise he will close the door.

As for why, Bai Ye asked.

The boss couldn't say why, but said that it was a law passed down by the elders.

Walking unhurriedly through the streets, there were very few pedestrians on the road, and the few one or two were also in a hurry, and soon entered the building.

The sky was getting darker and darker, almost black.

The street lights are starting to come on, but the quality is not very good.

The dim light was not so much illuminating the darkness.

Rather, it only illuminates a small area, so that the eye can adjust to the light and not see what is hidden in the darkness outside of any light.

In the house on the side of the road, there is also a small amount of light leaking out.

Some joyful laughter can be heard, and although the house is closed, it does not affect the happy time of the townspeople at home.

White Night and Alex first went to the square where they had spent the afternoon, where there were five unlucky people in the afternoon.

No police, no doctors, no relative officials came, and when they left, the five men were still lying there, unconscious.

Now that I look at it, these five people have disappeared.

I don't know if I was taken away.

"Let's go, go where Joe said." White Night glanced at the square twice, and walked towards the place where Joe had said that he had seen Nero.

The further you go to the outskirts of the town, the more deserted the surroundings become.

The houses are sparse, and some are not inhabited at all.

The street lights at a distance are also on and off.

"It's really ......" Bai Ye opened his mouth, and a flashlight fell into his hand, and the blinding light illuminated the road ahead.

The flashlight with Nightfall Technology X1 technology is amazingly bright.

Because the terrifying atmosphere brought by the flickering lights was suddenly swept away.

With a lazy yawn, Hakuya quickened his pace slightly.

Soon, the two of them came to the street that Joe had spoken of, and it was easy to recognize, with abandoned houses on both sides, covered with weeds.

The street lights were also completely useless and did not emit the slightest light.

Only the powerful flashlight in Bai Ye's hand illuminates a large area in front of him as if it were day.

This kind of light really makes people not have any terrifying atmosphere.

Of course, even without this flashlight.

White Nights and Alex couldn't have been scared either.

"Which house to start the investigation?" Alex asked.

This street, with a total of 9 houses, has been abandoned.

Some are more dilapidated, some look a little newer.

"If you don't check it, it's all ruined, and you can smash them!" Bai Ye said.

"All ruined?" Alex was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, even if Nero is in there and the house collapses, he will be fine." Bai Ye said, and a missile blasted out directly.

Flames and explosions "erupted" at the same time.

The abandoned house was in ruins.

At the moment when the house was hit, both White Night and Alex heard a terrible scream.

"Sure enough, there's something." Bai Ye said with a smile, aiming for the second house.

Alex also swelled up, entered the form of the Titan, and walked to the house next to him.

In a few minutes, 8 of the surrounding houses were destroyed by the two of them.

Nero was not seen in the ruins, but the terrible scream rang out four times.

I'm afraid that there really is some ghost or such a "being" hiding and clinging to the house.

Now, of course, I'm afraid it's already dead with missiles and Alex's fist.

"Boss, have we forgotten something?" Alex thought about something and said to the white night.

"Did you say Joe's brother?" Bai Ye said.

"Hmm." Nero was no ordinary person, and he had no problem resisting rockets and houses collapsing.

But Joe's brother ......

"I don't think his brother will be alive after a year of disappearance." Bai Ye's face was calm, "Even if he is still alive, do you think he will still be an ordinary child?" ”

"That's just as well." Alex nodded.

He's actually a guy who doesn't have a lot of empathy.

If it weren't for the deal, Alex wouldn't have thought about that.

"The last building, a piece of bombing." The physical cannon was fired again, and the house collapsed.

Then a figure flew out with the firelight.

Alex's body moved, and he had disappeared in place.

When it reappeared, it was already behind the figure, and it was easily taken down and landed on the ground.

"Alex?" Nero looked at the person who caught him with a surprised expression, "Why are you here, who attacked me just now!" I'm going to take him-"

"It's the boss." Alex interrupted Nero.

"Oh, forget it." The angry look on Nero's face disappeared immediately.

"You've been gone for almost twelve hours, so the boss called me over to take a look." Alex said.

Nero now looked a little embarrassed, his clothes were torn a lot, and there were traces of smoke on his face.

Obviously, this is the "sequelae" left by the missiles just now.

"Twelve hours?"

Nero had a surprised look on his face, "I feel like it's only been a few minutes. ”

He waved the Enma Knife in his hand: "Obviously, I only slashed a few hundred times." ”

“…… What made you slash hundreds of times? ”

Bai Ye walked over and asked, "What can be solved with a single missile, it took you 12 hours to solve it, Alu, I am very disappointed in you." ”
