A faint roar came from the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It sounded like thunder from very, very far away, but faintly discerning.

The fireball in the sky had completely turned into a white mist, confused in the original clouds in the sky.

It can no longer be distinguished.

The fireball was small, and it was certainly not a nuclear bomb that had been detonated, but there was no trace of an afterflame in sight.

Did it hit or not?

The magic that Elle and I used together, the last trace of struggle, did it succeed?

"Ellie...... Did we succeed?"

The little one nodded.

"If you mean, knock out that flying thing"

“yes！”

Whew――

The tiredness and exhaustion of the day all exploded.

There was a burst of numbness all over the body.

The joints were hard and painful, and my head was dizzy.

So I sat down on the ground.

Finally...... I was able to catch my breath.

For some time now, the messy things have made me feel haggard.

It's a shame that I've been able to hold on until now, and even I want to praise myself.

"Liu Xiaoqing!"

A small voice came from behind.

Looking back, Xia Yumiao was walking towards me from the door of the outpost, little by little.

Great, I don't have to go down to pick her up, and I don't have to worry about it.

"Hey, hey, is he alive?"

Xia Yumiao walked up to me and saw Kong Yunlei lying on the ground on the road in front of her, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to go forward.

"Well, half-dead"

That guy was hit twice by my magic and had bled a lot and was now unable to move.

"How's the missile? The alarm stopped just now, so it can't have been launched, right?"

"Well, launched"

"Huh!?"

Unlike me, who looked calm, Xia Yumiao was really stunned and looked at me blankly.

"That'...... What to do?"

"Knocked down"

"Hit ......?"

Xia Yumiao looked at Ellie who was sitting on my shoulder again, and seemed to understand what was going on.

The girl came over and took Elle in her arms.

"Ellie, did you do it?"

"Hmph~Awesome~"

Ellie tilted her little face up, smug as if she had cast the magic alone.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to complain.

"By the way, Ellie, how did you hit in the end?"

It's not that I'm going to tear down Ellie's stage, but I really have doubts.

According to the feeling at the time, it should be ironclad that will not be able to catch up.

The little guy patted his chest and said confidently.

"Who knows~"

It turns out that you don't have a bottom in your heart......

"Oh, anyway, it's finally over, right?"

Xia Yumiao looked a little happier, and it seemed that she didn't want to continue running anymore.

"Well, it's finally over......"

Saying this sentence made my heart feel refreshed.

"That'...... How are we going to go back?"

Bah!

Xia Yumiao's words woke me up.

Now we are in the middle of the mountains, large and small, one after the other, and it seems that there is no end to it.

Judging by the distance we've traveled underground, it's probably a very, very remote place.

I took out the new mobile phone that Wang Yun gave at the end, and sure enough...... There is no signal.

Isn't it terrible?

You can only go the same way...... Get back?

"Hmm...... Don't worry, Wang Yun and they will find a way to get us back"

"She?"

Xia Yumiao looked unhappy, but still sat down.

"Then count on her once."

Whew――

The world is spinning.

I don't have time to worry about anything else now, I need to get some rest......

Buzz Buzz -

In less than ten minutes, a familiar voice was heard.

It's the sound of helicopter rotors flapping into the air.

I opened my eyes and couldn't believe that I had come so soon?

"There it is!"

Xia Yumiao turned around and pointed in the distance, and a helicopter crossed the hill and appeared in our field of vision.

The girl stood up happily and waved her hands at the helicopter.

Wait, it doesn't seem quite right.

Don't...... Is it Kong Yunlei's person?

"Ellie"

Her Royal Highness the Princess heard something unusual from my tone, jumped up from Xia Yumiao's shoulder, and dripped back to my shoulder steadily.

The magic power on his body has only recovered a little, and this place is very disadvantageous if it is fought.

The helicopter did not make any offensive movements, but flew directly and smoothly.

It made me let my guard down a bit.

Until-

Several heavily armed men who did not know each other jumped out of the helicopter and pointed their guns at us.

Xia Yumiao was so frightened that she ran behind me, but I couldn't fight immediately, so I honestly raised my hand first.

I glanced back at Kong Yunlei and saw that there was no trace of joy on his pale face.

It is certain that it is not his person.

At this moment, a man with a gun came forward and seemed to want to search me.

I immediately gave Ellie a look, and the princess picked up the tiger-toothed dagger from my lap and stood on top of my head.

Hey, Ellie, I mean you dodge first......

The man confirmed that we were not armed, and then motioned for us to ascend the ladder to the plane.

"What should I do?"

Xia Yumiao asked, but her voice couldn't hear the smell of fear.

It seems that the mere fact that this group of people did not shoot reassured her a lot.

Just like me.

Eighty percent of them are people from the military region, and they came to see us illegally trespassing...... Arrest us?

I pulled Xia Yumiao up and climbed up the helicopter along the dangling suspension ladder.

There is also a middle-aged man in a military uniform on it, who looks stereotypical and serious.

He didn't say a word, he first handcuffed me and Xia Yumiao, and the other side of the handcuffs hung directly on the plane.

Then the helicopter shook its head and began to fly back.

From the open door of the plane, you can see that several people who jumped down just now arrested Kong Yunlei and were taking him to the outpost.

"Who are you?"

It's better to confirm.

The man stared into my eyes and pulled a document out of his pocket.

Country...... Security Bureau?

Huh?

It's not the same as saying yes, huh?

"The guy down there is dangerous, did you subdue him?"

"You don't have to worry about this"

He had a straight face and seemed to have a great dislike of talking to me.

"Where are we going?"

"Shut your mouth"

It seems that it is better not to provoke him further until we are sure what is going on.

"I hate this guy"

Ellie whispered to me softly.

The little guy fastened the dagger back to my lap and sat down honestly back on my shoulder.

Although I really wanted to talk to her, at such a close distance, I would definitely be recognized by the man opposite.

It's better not to expose Elle's existence just yet.

"I hate this guy too"

Xia Yumiao also followed.

"As it happens, so do I"

I'll pick up Xia Yumiao's words.

"Shut up, both of you"

"Good ......"
