The black fog was hazy, and the deep alleys were silent, except for the lanterns hanging at the doors of each house, which made this place seem a little lively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Jingle Bell ......" The faint sound of the bell rang rhythmically, and the sound became more pronounced as the small figure gradually approached, and at the same time there was the sound of footsteps under the cover of the bell.

Lynch, with a lantern in one hand and his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, walked slowly, patrolling.

It had been more than a month since his second talent had awakened, and in the course of that month, he had become familiar with his new route under the guidance of Mrs. Fran.

It's not so much a route, but a region is more appropriate, because he has awakened the particularity of two talents, so that he can be more than enough to protect himself in the inner ring and at the same time have more possibilities to help others, so in this area, his patrol range coincides with many people.

In the new plan, the Inner Ring Road has set up a total of five patrol areas, each with a person in charge similar to Mrs. Fran, who also serves as the head of the group.

There are about 10 children in each cluster, and most of the children choose to go out and play on Fire Day, which is their longest break outside of shifts.

The content of going out to play is not very interesting, except for going to the inner ring to hang out or going home, it is basically inseparable from fighting.

So under the guidance of Mrs. Fran, intentionally or unintentionally, the ring race was born, and the children had to be seated in the new round of the competition. Boys like this feeling of being the boss in the first place, and often respond most positively, while girls are not very interested, but they also have to obey the public.

There were a total of two children in this area who were the first to awaken the second talent, so Lynch was naturally in second place. It's not that he's weak, his Broken Eye is always invincible in battles against humanoids, he just doesn't want to be too conspicuous, and at this stage, it's normal for an Possessed to lose to a Flame Bearer.

Now, the runner-up in the ring, Lynch, who rose to second place, was walking down the alley, with the bell on his waist flickering, carrying a lantern, and staring blankly at the front shrouded in black fog.

So boring.

Three months have passed, and nothing has happened in the area they are responsible for. That is, it has been a long time since there have been monsters here.

Lynch exhaled deeply, and the wind blew through the barrier of light formed by the lanterns into the diffuse black mist.

The black mist didn't react at all, like the breath from Lynch's mouth didn't exist.

In fact, except for fire and some abilities, it is difficult for any other action to make the black mist react, for example, if you blow a breath, the black mist will not roll with the wind, it just follows its own inherent trajectory and floats slowly.

This was also something that Lynch had only recently discovered, which surprised him a little.

But when he told the people around him about this discovery, the only answer he received was, "Yes?

Well, it seems like I'm the only one making a fuss.

Lynch looked at the black mist that was floating in front of him and blew lightly.

"Jingle bell bell ......" The bell hanging from Lynch's waist suddenly vibrate.

He immediately stopped, grabbing the bell at his waist with his right hand, which was not carrying the lantern.

"It's ...... Help?" muttered to Lynch, grabbing the bell and looking at it in front of his eyes. Its body was also engraved with runes, faintly glowing under the illumination of the flames, and it vibrated in Lynch's hands. Lynch wrapped it up with his senses, and immediately faintly sensed the location of another bell calling for help.

"It's a call for help, it's not a notification, and it's not too far away. Lynch immediately put away the bell and turned on the talent. His eyes went black in the blink of an eye, and in his right hand, which was not holding a lantern, a dagger glowing with a faint blue light gradually appeared in the void.

Lynch gripped his dagger tightly, threw the lantern to the roof, and jumped onto the roof with a scurry.

Because of Lynch's movements, there was a faint uneasy sound in the house under his feet, and Lynch shouted, "Do not be afraid!" and hurried in the direction of the target location.

The shortest straight line between two points.

Lynch jumped like a nimble monkey on a high and low roof, and soon came to the vicinity of the distress bell.

That's it.

Lynch stopped on the roof, standing silently, while soothing his somewhat rapid breathing, the bell hanging from his waist was no longer moving, and the street shrouded in black fog below was also silent, only a faint cloud of light faintly shining through the black fog occasionally.

It's inhabited......

Lynch turned on his senses again.

The people in the house below him were sleeping, and there was no sound of disturbance or alarm, not even a night watchman.

Lynch quickly retracted his senses. It is very impolite to use too much perception to probe the behavior of ordinary people in the house, although it is too cool for some people with voyeurism, but in fact, every person in the inner ring area will be wary of this. Almost every capable person will leave some runes to their family that can block perception. After all, no one wants to be a victim of some perverted guys when their wives or husbands and children go out on missions.

And there are not many people who are interested in the ability to spy on others.

Lynch focused his perception on the street again, and there were three children standing on the street waiting at a loss, one of them carrying a lantern and looking up in Lynch's direction. Her small face, which was covered by the hood, was thus revealed, and her red eyes and sockets were very conspicuous.

It's Lily. Her perception was almost the best Lynch had ever seen.

Lily and Lynch were assigned to the same gathering area.

But nothing seemed to be going on here, and Lynch breathed a sigh of relief and jumped from the not-so-high roof.

"Is there something going on here?" Lynch asked, looking at the three people in front of him.

Two of the children were startled by the sudden appearance of Lynch and did not bother to answer, so Lily spoke first.

"It's a monster...... she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look into Lynch's eyes, "but it ran away after fighting us for a while, and we couldn't catch up, and then, and then I thought about ringing the bell for help...... Then wait for someone...... We can't catch up with it...... Sorry ......"

Lily's voice grew quieter, and she realized her mistake.

Lynch breathed a long sigh of relief and began to comfort Lily, who was faintly sobbing: "It's good that you guys haven't had an accident, that's the most important thing." ”

He looked at the two possessors behind Lily, one of whom was reassigned, as one of the previous girls had died a month earlier.

This hit Lily hard, and her eyes were red and swollen for a long time.

"If you cry again, you're going to be ugly again. Lynch touched Lily's head and asked the two possessees behind her, "Did it run away?"

"Hmm...... Yes, Lily hurt it. ”

"Then I'll be able to track ......" Lynch muttered to himself, his dark eyes looking in the direction of the monster's escape, like the traces left by an airplane in the sky, and the traces of black mist gushing out of the monster's injuries were very obvious in Lynch's eyes.

"I can find it, Lily. Lynch looked at the little Lori who was trying to stop sobbing but was still a little twitching: "You guys keep patrolling, I'll clean it up." ”
