It's the end of summer, the weather is getting cooler, and the cold wind makes you feel the breath of autumn.
"Phew, I'm here again. Really, I don't really want to get any closer here. "The soles of my shoes stepped on the hard and cold road, and I looked at the city in front of me with some emotion.
After going through the entire Moon World several times, the only city that makes Zero View a little jealous and tricky is estimated to be the only one in front of him.
Guanbuzi City.
This is the place where the story of "The Realm of the Void" takes place, one of the four major families of demon slaying in the past, and the territory of the Liangyi family who are engaged in underground trading and construction industries today.
To be honest, what really makes Zero Guan feel tricky and jealous is the people of the Liangyi family, who should be sixteen years old and have two ceremonies.
Zero View remembers that when he first set foot in this city, he was still a little guy who had just some strength and wanted to see it everywhere. And now, he has grown to the point where he will be rejected and hostile by the whole world, and even the most powerful creatures in this plane do not need to be taken too seriously now.
Looking around, Kanbuko is a small Japanese city that is clearly gradually developing, as evidenced by the ongoing construction site in the distance.
"That guy Qingzi actually ran to Guanbuzi City, hoping that she didn't see the two ceremonies, and the growth of the two ceremonies was not affected by her. Otherwise, things will be in trouble. Zero Guan said with a sigh.
The identity of the two rituals is special, if a magician with special talents enters here because of Qingzi and discovers the existence of the two rituals, the entire world will be shaken, and the magic association and the wandering magicians will take what they can think of with their knees.
I have to say that Qingzi really takes trouble wherever she goes!!
"Forget it, it's better to find Qingzi quickly. Don't let her wander around this place. Zero Guan stared at each other and walked into Guanbuzi City.
The last time he contacted Qingzi, he happened to learn that Qingzi was now in Guanbuzi City, and because of the existence of the two ceremonies, he came here as soon as possible. In addition to not wanting Qingzi to get into trouble, Zero View actually has a plan to see two ceremonies.
However, this idea is not firm and necessary. I'll talk about that when the time comes.
Guanbuzi City is not big or small, and it is not easy to find Qingzi who appears somewhere in the city. If you don't use a little means, I'm afraid that Aoko may not be able to find someone when he leaves or gets into trouble.
Walking into a small alley that no one could see, Zero View summoned the Raven Tengu, who had limited its size and turned into an ordinary crow-shaped.
"-Go, find her for me." After channeling Aoko's appearance into the mind of the crow tengu, Zero Guan gave the order.
"Quack-quack-quack-"
After hovering in the sky a few times, the Raven Tengu flapped its wings and flew out of the alley.
!!
The black feathers fall from the Raven Tengu and blow in the wind. The individual feathers instantly turned into crows of the same size, screaming and flying to various places in Guanbuzi City. Having been cultivated by Zeroview for so long, the Raven Tengu has not only grown tremendously in strength, but also has more means, and this is just one of them.
"If you have so much eyeliner, you should be able to find Aoko soon." Looking at the figure of the crow that quickly dispersed in the sky, Lingguan muttered to himself.
******
At midnight on August 31 to September 1, the maiden who liked to wander around on the big night walked out of the gate as usual under the watchful eye of the butler.
There are no nighttime lighting facilities around the old Japanese-style mansions, such as street lamps. So of course, the surroundings are pitch black, and the only light source is the stars and the bright moon in the distant starry sky in the sky.
Rustle - !!
A breeze blows. The bamboo forest on the periphery of the mansion rustled.
With no hesitation, the girl walked slowly on the road that she had walked an unknown number of times. Just walk out of the darkness and into the area where there are lights outside.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the dim and unknown light ahead, and the girl's movements paused, and then quietly followed.
Late at night on the streets. There seem to be only two figures, one in front and one behind.
The steel city in silence and darkness is full of ruthless and hopeless indifference, and the cold wind passes through the streets and alleys, leaving a strange sound.
As if he had noticed someone following him from behind, the figure in front of him suddenly turned into a small alley next to a street. Looked at. The girl still walked unhurriedly, step by step over the distance. Then, following the person in front of him, he turned into this small alley.
"Uh-huh!!"
The first thing you notice is the smell of blood coming into your nose, which is the smell of human blood. Moreover, it is definitely a concentration that only occurs when a large dose is released from the body.
The girl's eyes quickly adapted to the light in the alley, and under her gaze, the depths of the alley had become a different world of peace and tranquility from the outside world.
It is a narrow space surrounded by the walls of the surrounding buildings, and the left and right walls, which have been heavily faded, have been painted with a layer of bright red paint.
If you look closely, it's not red paint.
That's human blood.
Tick-tick-tick-tick
The liquid that had not yet solidified was dripping from the walls, and the surrounding area next to the wall had turned into a sea of blood with a pungent smell of blood. The blood in the sea of blood flowed from the high ground to the low ground, and some of it was flowing slowly towards the girl's feet.
In the vermilion liquid, a human corpse lay there in an eerie form.
His or her hands and feet were neatly severed, and there may have been other wounds on his or her body, but the thick blood obscured the marks.
The girl in the light-colored kimono quietly glanced at the sea of blood underground, without showing any panic or fear, and looked around calmly. Then, her gaze fell to the deepest part of the alley, where there was a slit for adults to pass through, a gap between the two walls.
“…… Did you leave over there......" The girl thought quietly, her eyes falling back on the sea of blood on the ground, and a feeling in her heart called to her.
"--Uh-huh??"
Suddenly, a keen intuition brought a feeling of being watched, and the girl raised her head and looked in the direction from which the feeling came. Her good eyesight allowed her to see the moonlight in the background.
A black crow.
As if sensing that the girl was watching her, the crow croaked and flapped its wings, and disappeared into the dark night sky in an instant. (To be continued......)
