Chapter 22: The Two Who Disappeared

It's still a familiar street, and it's still the scorched black earth that I once saw, but in the face of this familiar scenery, Pang Zhi can only feel a chill. They were still in the car, their posture did not change, and the length of the shadow did not change, the only thing that changed was the movement of the pedestrians around them.

Pedestrians are different from before, they no longer have a fanatical appearance, but a more familiar casual and leisurely appearance, but compared with the problem of pedestrians, what attracts Pang Zhi's attention more is time.

"Time hasn't changed?"

It is impossible not to be afraid, whether it was illusion or fact, whether it was only in her mind before, or whether she manipulated time, the unchanging scenery at the moment only shows one thing, that is, Imilia's power is far beyond Pang Zhi's imagination, no, it should be said that it is far beyond the extent that this task should be.

"We can rest assured in this situation." Faced with such a dreamlike situation, Nanami Chiaki still kept calm and analyzed.

"According to the first rule of the terminal, there will be no enemies in the mission that we can't deal with, so since Emilia has shown a strength far beyond us, then she must not be the enemy we must face."

"No, it's not her I'm afraid of, and as things stand, there's not a good reason for us to be her enemy." The reason in Pang Zhi's words was not Emilia's words, but the anomaly they saw.

The town is a strange being, the townsfolk are a strange being, they are usually amiable, but once Emilia appears, at least for now, these townspeople will become irritable and crazy.

This is not something that can be explained by a dislike for someone.

But is the anomaly just the one in front of them, Pang Zhi still remembers another obvious anomaly they had encountered, that is, they couldn't leave the town, and every time they left the town, the consequence was to return to the original point.

That's not a limitation of the mission, at least according to the instructor, if the mission is geographically restricted, it must be raised with a warning at the beginning, but the problem may be more than that.

"You and Hua Feng noticed that something was wrong at that time."

That's right, the problem is not only in this town, but also in the team, I still remember that my party has been repeating the behavior of leaving the town, and it seems that there is no problem, and it didn't stop until Hua Feng's disappearance, but the problem arises, since he can find out the problem of time, then why hasn't Nie Yun found it.

Pang Zhi can say that he paid so much attention because he had experienced it, but why didn't Nie Yun, who had more experience than himself, not pay attention.

"To be precise, I was sure that Nie Yun had a problem at that time, but I didn't know Hua Feng, it was difficult to guess anything else in his mind except for self-confidence." Chiaki Nanami admits this calmly, and her admission unravels her previous actions.

It was understandable for them to track Hua Feng and his party, at least finding Hua Feng and their foothold could make their action less unsuccessful, but they tracked it too publicly, and they broke into the other party's lair directly in the car, facing an enemy whose strength surpassed their own, which can be said to be disorderly.

"Then it means that you and Hua Feng are conspiring!" Pang Zhi's face changed, even if he didn't have much hostility towards Emilia now, but he still couldn't accept the person who showed disregard for human life.

"Of course not, in his eyes now, I am no different from you, just a green fruit."

At this time, Meow suddenly interjected, and counted Pang Zhi in a contemptuous tone, "Meow meow, meow, meow!" ”

"Are you really stupid, isn't it just a female problem, two males problem, and a town problem, what are you humans doing so complicated?"

"Haha, it's true that I'm stupid." Hearing Meow's contempt, Pang Zhi suddenly burst into laughter, laughing at his own stupidity.

Just like Meow said, even if the situation seems complicated now, the essence is still only three problems, the change of the town, the combination of Emilia and Hua Feng, and Nie Yun, who is not in an unknown situation, why bother to mix the three problems together to the point where thinking can't do it.

So what to do now, the three questions represent three clues, which one is the clue that should be pursued now.

"Go back and say hello to Nie Yun, we can't follow Hua Feng's example, leaving the instructor behind and acting on our own."

Dumbfounded, Pang Zhi looked at Nanami Qianqiu, although the other party was not the same as the Nanami Qianqiu he knew, but there were still some shadows, but at this moment she showed such a bad side, she was really surprised.

"That's right, we should go back and ask Nie Yun about it." Regardless of whether Nie Yun had other intentions or not, there was no doubt that the other party had no intention of dealing with his party immediately, so obtaining information from Nie Yun became a reliable path.

It was supposed to be like this.

But when Pang Zhi and his party returned to their stronghold, they saw only a strange place, or rather, they had become strangers, and after they opened the door and entered, the owner of the house yelled at them, reprimanding them for breaking into his private home.

If it weren't for Meow's sharp hand and a cat's claw to stun him, he would have touched the phone next to him.

Then in the house they still found traces of their past, although the luggage was thrown in the corner, but at least it was not destroyed, it was still the same as it was. But the biggest difference from before is that the formation that was once arranged here no longer exists, and there is no trace left.

Why did Nie Yun leave, this question could not be answered at all, judging from the situation in the house, he was definitely prepared to leave, and it could even be said that he was ready to leave to break with the current three people.

Not only did he disappear himself, but he also took another member with him and unlocked the hypnosis of the homeowner, which can already be said to be a betrayal.

But before thinking about what happened to Nie Yun, Pang Zhi and the others had to solve a problem first, and how they should live next.

No one here has local money, and although there is one person who can do magic, but the magic that controls people's hearts does not, so they become people who have no money, no shelter, and no hukou.

And Nie Yun, who was being nagged by them, also looked gloomy at the moment, and he drove to the road to the outskirts of the town, and behind him, the weak girl was still in a dazed posture.

"Damn, what a piece of rubbish." Cursing, Nie Yun still can't forget the moment when the death information of the second team member came, the original plan was completely destroyed, he could only use the last response plan, at this moment he couldn't hide his intentions, he had to race against time.

"Although he is not the one who has really crossed the second ladder, but just a wisp of thought has the power to cross the upper echelons of the first ladder, which is not something I can fight against, and now I only hope to let him enter the field in advance and fight with Imilia to lose both."

Shattered thinking that he had reached the edge of the town, he could clearly see the sign on the side of the road.

"According to that guy's information, Carlos will leave the town halfway through no matter what, and it won't be until it's too late to summon the demon with Imilia, but if he has a good relationship with Carlos before, then leave a beacon on the edge of the town, and he will appear early."

"The effort made a few days ago should be rewarded now." Nie Yun took out the materials he had dismantled and set up beacons on the edge of the town, which were the emergency contact information that Carlos had given him as the leader before leaving.
