Ciri was amazed when she heard about this task. Unicorn, this is a fictional creature on Earth, and it is an endangered or extinct species in the other world, although the legends about it in the two worlds are different but generally the same, they are a group of horses with spiral horns on their foreheads, but in the other world, where is it rumored that the unicorn has the ability to travel through time and space.

The ability to travel through time and space, Ciri is very curious, after all, she has just unconsciously accomplished this unimaginable feat.

Intrigued by this creature, Ciri embarks on a journey to find the unicorn, and now she wants to know how much this magical creature resembles herself, whether they can also slow down the flow of time, whether they travel freely through the world as the legend says, and so on.

These questions kept popping up in Ciri's mind, and the more she imagined it, the more curious she became.

As for what the weird colonel needs this unicorn for? Ciri didn't care, in her opinion, the other party should be curious about unknown creatures, after all, it was a magical species from another world.

Ciri doesn't have much information now, only a few words, including "Unicorns only wander around the city and don't leave" and "Unicorns teleport". Because Ciri's ability to teleport is known to the other party, he will entrust this task to Ciri.

Ciri was the only one involved in this mission, and the colonel made this decision to avoid confusion, but there were many people working with Ciri, including a special forces unit including helicopters.

After a short rest, Ciri returned to the city with the many supplies he had prepared for him, much to Ciri's regret that she had not heard anything about "his wife and daughter" until she left.

The ruins of an unfamiliar city, walking in it, you can still hear the roar of monsters, the snow piled up on the ground can't hide the faint smell of beast blood, all the way Ciri is browsing this city that has fallen to the end of the world, the prosperous memories of the previous life are slowly recalled, but there is no overlap here.

The city is huge, and Ciri can only search every corner of the city with a needle in a haystack, looking for the pure white creature here, and the clues provided by the Colonel are of no avail, and the unicorn's former habitat has been her focus on searching, but nothing has been found.

"White sideburns...... Brand new horseshoe prints...... It seems to have been gone for a while. "This is the area where the unicorn haunted the day before yesterday, and it was here that Ciri found the unicorn's habitat.

However, there is no unicorn here, only traces of its existence.

This is a small flat ground formed after the collapse of two buildings, there is not too much rubble here, probably the reason why the unicorn has been cleaned up in advance, here she found a large number of bullets, but these are not the U-shaped bullets commonly used in the army now, but a relatively primitive lead bullet, a large number of broken lead bullets left a lot of traces on the walls here, dense black marks indicate that there was a fierce shootout here.

Following the horseshoe prints left behind at the scene, Ciri slowly pushed forward, and along the way, Ciri noticed that the horseshoe prints were starting to become messy, and eventually disappeared into a tented camp.

The smell of blood was very strong here, as the corpses of suspicious figures in black trench coats and tricornes were littered with a large number of weapons scattered around their corpses - many of them, but cold weapons were distributed in a ratio of 1:1 to the more primitive gunpowder weapons.

The horse's hoof prints were interrupted here, but Ciri found more horseshoe prints in the camp, rows of horseshoe prints stretching from one side of the camp to the other, and finally turning back, interspersed back and forth, reminding Ciri of a cavalry charge.

Cavalry that easily penetrates the enemy's line on the battlefield will regroup in an open area for the next round of charge, and the horseshoe prints on the scene reflect this situation.

When she returned to this city, Ciri never put down her sword because of caution, and coming to a camp that seemed to have been attacked by cavalry made her even more cautious, fearing that the owner of the horseshoe prints in the camp would reappear.

"Heavy cavalry!" Measuring the depth of the numerous horseshoe prints on the ground, Ciri made his own judgment.

It has only been two short months since the end of the world, and Ciri absolutely does not believe that the heavy cavalry that has been eliminated for more than a hundred years will be allowed to reappear. What did the appearance of the pinnacle of the Cold Weapon Age portend?

"It's all a product of firearms from hundreds of years ago. Ciri examined the guns scattered around the camp and concluded that, while they were intimidating and looked powerful, they did not change the nature of their pre-loaded flintlock pistols.

This reminds Ciri of the war scene of the era of the rise of firearms and the decline of cavalry, but this picture does not correspond to the current context.

"It seems that these are the so-called invaders. The equipment that is out of place with the background of the times immediately reminds Ciri of the invaders that Song Linghui said, "I don't know if these invaders are fighting among themselves." ”

Curiosity leads Ciri to uncover the hat on a corpse, revealing the face of the person hidden in the hat in front of her, and at first she thinks that the intruder will be a monster with blue fangs, but she doesn't expect it to be the same human as herself.

The unicorn's clue disappears here, and the progress of the mission comes to a standstill.

"Take a break here. "The clouds in the sky have blocked the sun's rays, making it impossible to tell whether it will be night or day through the sky, and now the only thing that can know the time is the clock in your hand.

"It's nineteen o'clock. It's seven o'clock in the evening. Looking at the tactical watch he was wearing, Ciri made up his mind to spend the night in this eerie camp.

Although there was a big battle here, the tent facilities on site were not damaged, and she was allowed to rest and recuperate.

The ground strewn with corpses and weapons didn't interfere with her rest, but instead gave her the feeling of being on the battlefield.

After picking and choosing, Ciri finally found a suitable tent, and was about to rest, when she heard a loud noise, a slight sound, like a mobile phone turned to vibrate.

With doubts, she listened carefully to the voice, and slowly walked in the direction from which it came with her senses, the weapon in her hand tightly held in her hand, ready to deal with all possible dangerous situations.

Bending down and moving slowly, she finally came to the side of an ordinary corpse, and the sound was undoubtedly coming from underneath the corpse, and the long sword picked it open, flipping it over to reveal a black coat with a face split in half and blood stained.

What shook was a blood-red badge that he pressed underneath him.

The grinning cat's head, the hair on its head bulging like spikes, this is the badge of the feline demon hunter!

"Why is he here? Could it be that he came to Earth like himself?" With this question in mind, Ciri rummaged through all the corpses present but found no other party.

Although the amplitude of the badge vibrating frequently was not large, the continuous subtle sound made her overwhelmed.

The Demon Hunter's Emblem can sense the fluctuation of mana, she has heard of this statement, and it is precisely because of this reason that she feels irritated, so where is the source of the magic fluctuation of the Spirit Emblem's vibration?

The amplitude of the tremors was not the same in different places, and feeling the faint difference in feeling, Ciri slowly explored the surroundings, vowing to find the source of the constant vibrations.

Cautiously, cautiously and cautiously, the gradual spread from the camp to the surrounding ruins paid off, and the moment Ciri lifted a billboard, she saw the source of the magic and found the goal of the mission.

It was a unicorn lying on the ground, a large amount of blood congealed on top of its white hair, making its otherwise supple hair knotted and messy, its lowered eyes lifeless like a dying old man waiting for death, like a seriously injured patient longing for the end of life, a slightly undulating belly, and a silky breathing that seemed to stop at any moment.

The target has been found, but Ciri feels she doesn't have what it takes to bring it back to the base alive.

――――――――loading――――――――――

"Quiet...... It's okay...... We won't hurt you. An inaudible voice came from behind the green linen, and the greencloth's entwined hand rested in front of the grumpy unicorn's face, as if soothing and hypnotizing.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Song Linghui resembles a brilliant animal trainer, and his words slowly calm the irascible unicorn trapped in the laboratory, and the creature's mood changes so quickly that scientists observing it outside are stunned.

"It's so irritable when it's separated from its wife, and now I've called for its mate, and I think the couple's reunion will make it docile. The wheelchair slowly carried the person out of the laboratory, and Song Linghui said as he passed the group of white-clothed scientists.

"Colonel, our gravity testing facility is in reality all the time that it wants to escape, and we may not be able to stop it......"

"Now it'll be in peace for a while, and if there's any accident, you can call me over, and I'll help you calm it down." "The wheelchair carrying its owner slowly disappeared into the end of the corridor," and the research needs to be accelerated. ”
