Yuffie sighed silently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info She already had a guess in her mind that was closer to the facts, but she couldn't confirm it for the time being.

There was a powerful flapping of wings around her, and she switched back to her original vision, and saw the griffin landing not far away, and the blonde girl was jumping from Grace's back to the ground. She was accompanied by a young girl who looked quite young. She wore a delicate floral dress, her long hair hanging down from the sides and tied into a slightly curly ponytail, and her hair seemed to sparkle between them. She looked up at Yuffie and Noka, her eyes calm, and she seemed to have a hint of age-inappropriate maturity.

The girl slowly walked up to Yufy, lifted her skirt, and bowed gracefully to Yufy, "As the envoy of Xiyang City, I have come to investigate the incident that happened here. I think you might be able to help. Her voice was so beautiful that it was like a bird singing, "You can call me a starry sky." ”

As the seat of the Council of Elders and the capital of the Alliance, Yuffie had naturally heard of the name of Xiyang City. The Coalition had taken notice, and it was good news, at least, that they weren't alone anymore - perhaps.

"I'm Yuphie." She returned the salute in witch tradition, and then asked, "Are you the only one, or is someone else investigating somewhere else?" ”

"The remainder of the team is currently stationed in a safer area, a village that has not yet been infected." Mantianxing explained, "From the information obtained so far, as long as it is a youkai, it will be infected by that 'plague'. Xiyang City has already asked the Gerno people for help, and I, as the only member of the investigation team who is not a youkai, will come over to see the situation first. ”

"I see." Yuffie acquiesced to the girl's statement and turned his gaze to Rin, who was beside her, "So, what about the other villages?" ”

"Not so good." Lin frowned, recounting what she had seen in the other villages, "The two or three surrounding villages are not much like this one. Better, the villagers are hiding in their own houses, barely able to move and take care of themselves. Worse ......" she shook her head and closed her eyes, as if unwilling to recall what she had seen, "the whole village fell silent, and the inhabitants lost consciousness...... Some of them have been dead for a while. ”

"It's a bit like the Far East Continent that Jill said." Yuffie sighed, obviously not thinking he was funny, "What did those who were still awake say?" ”

"They told me to get out of here quickly so that I wouldn't be infected with this 'plague.'" Lynn bit her lip and replied, "I've left them some medicine that might be useful, so I'll come back and see how you're doing here." She gently stroked Grace's back, as if that would reassure her, "How's your investigation, is there any good news?" ”

Yuffie told Lynn and the stars what she had 'seen'. Holding his chin, Mantianxing earnestly asked her for many details, then closed his eyes and stood quietly to the side in contemplation.

The blonde girl is clearly more interested in Noka's ongoing research than Yufie's narrative. She walked up behind the diminutive man and watched the other man's every move.

The Gernor man was holding a sharp blade, cutting a piece of flesh from the sleeping monster's arm, wrapping the wound with cotton and bandages with his hands and feet, and then returning to the microscope to carefully observe the cut tissue. The blood in the device on the side bubbled blue-green, gave off a garlic smell, and made a strange crackling sound from time to time.

"Wait a minute, right away, right away!" Noka Main muttered "......" as he adjusted the knobs back and forth of the device, " There are no microorganisms, no abnormal proteins, and no known toxins...... Could it be that the plague has gone out on its own? How is this possible, his condition is still deteriorating - or is it that the pathogen is disguised as a normal cell......"

"So, what's your conclusion?" The starry sky gracefully walked up to the Gerno and asked in a calm voice.

"The conclusion—" Noka jumped to his feet, nearly knocking over the device next to him, and scrambled to straighten it. Then he touched his nose and glanced at the two of them with some embarrassment, "This is not a normal plague at all, I can observe the changes in his body, but I can't find the root of it all!" ”

"That's normal." "It's not a plague in itself, it's not a foreign body, it's not magical, and it's not a curse. ”

She quietly turned her head to look at the young witch behind her. Yuffie stepped forward with a feeling and added the half of the sentence that the other party had not finished.

"Yes...... I think it's a youkai that caused all this. She looked up at the seemingly unmistakable sky, "And everyone here is now inside that monster." The reason why the inhabitants of this place fell into a coma and quickly weakened was because that youkai had taken the magic power from their bodies. ”

"Youkai, you say?" Noka looked up and followed Yufie's gaze, but apparently he didn't see anything, "How do you know, what does that youkai look like?" ”

Yufi briefly described the form she saw, and the more Noka listened, the more his brow furrowed, and at the end, his face turned red, as if he had just swallowed a ball of flame.

"Sounds reasonable." Noka muttered under his breath, then repeated, "Sounds reasonable. In other words, the youkai became what they are now, because they were attacked and ...... Engulf. But I can't figure out why a youkai would go on a rampage with his own kind...... Wait, I got it! He clapped his hands violently, "It must have been the idiots of the Broken Order!" ”

"Wait a minute, what's that?" Lynn leaned closer to Noka and looked him up and down, "Sounds like an organization...... And it's not the very good kind. ”

"It's a particularly bad one, a special one—not good!" Noka waved his arm vigorously, as if that would make his statement more credible, "If the average stunned is stupid, and the average thug is bad, they are stupid and bad!" ”

"Alright, alright." Lin patted Noka on the shoulder to reassure the somewhat agitated Gurnos, "What did they do?" ”

"To think that the world belongs only to youkai, and that the human beings, the Inir, including us Guerno, deserve to die. In the name of revenge against humanity, coerce the weaker youkai to join, and then use them for experiments, or train them to be assassins or even attackers who risk their own lives-" Noka shook his hand hatefully, "At least half of the sinister relationship with the Innis Empire on the border now...... No, two-thirds of them were corrupted by those guys! Moreover, they claim that we Guernos are unkind, that rune technology is an unnatural product, and that they want the entire alliance to resist our creation! Isn't that stupid and bad, you say? ”
