Nina's focus seems to be in a subtle place, but for Shirley, it's a good thing.

She has already regarded the seemingly simple and ordinary girl in front of her as a dependent of a certain subspace shadow from the bottom of her heart, and it is the kind of dependents at the level of a daughter-the less negative impression she has in front of this dependent, the higher her chances of surviving in front of the big guy will be.

Nina didn't know how much was hidden under Shirley's embarrassed and stiff smile, and the girl was now surprised and a little excited, because she had never been so close to a real transcendent, and her knowledge of this aspect was limited to books, and in her eyes, Shirley, who had infiltrated the school to investigate the incident with some kind of "transcendent illusion", seemed to have been shrouded in a mysterious and powerful aura.

She even forgot about the other party's little "deception" to her for a short time, and instead focused all her attention on the extraordinary life and adventures of the transcendentals—even if this adventure was basically made up by her own brain: "Where do you usually live, do you have your own secret base, or do you still have a very mysterious organization."

"Do you usually hide in a cave or a sewer or something, is there a warehouse-like place where you store all kinds of ritual items?

"Are you born with special abilities or are you some powerful transcendent item, you are the kind of legendary 'arcane mage' I heard that there is this ancient profession, the arcane mage can cast spells without relying on any gods, and it is said that their power comes from the bloodline...

"What do you usually eat, do you often drink herbs or strange animal blood, you also eat normally, really?"

Nina's questions were one after another, crackling and almost endless, and Shirley was halfway through coping with it, and layers appeared on her forehead

Cold sweat - she didn't because she couldn't answer the other party's question, but because there was a Duncan next to her!

Duncan had been silently watching Shirley from the beginning, his smile was gentle and kind—he looked like the children at home

It is like a parent who invites classmates to show up to entertain them when they are guests.

Simple, kind, harmless to humans and animals.

But when he was happy, Shirley would break out in a cold sweat.

"You seem to be afraid of my uncle," even if Nina was slow to react in this regard, she could notice Shirley's strange behavior, and recalled the other party's reaction when she was in the museum before, which made her can't help but ask, "...... between you What the hell is going on*

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Really!" Shirley sat up straight almost suddenly, shook her hands vigorously, and I ...... What can I do with your uncle, I'm still a kid......"

Duncan felt as if something was wrong when he heard this, he knew that he couldn't let these two girls continue to play freely, so he quickly interrupted Shirley with a light cough before she ran the train with her mouth full: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that she evaded the fare by the bus, and I happened to be caught once."

"That's just because of this," Nina looked at Shirley in surprise, "and it won't leave such a big shadow...... But my uncle was right, fare evasion is not good.

Shirley's tears were about to fall: "I really won't evade tickets in the future!"

Nina nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but look at Shirley seriously: "That...

… Can you tell me, what the hell are you investigating You are friends with me, it is also because of your 'investigation' Shirley's body is straight, and her eyes begin to drift to the side, but as soon as she is halfway through it, she meets Duncan's calm note

Look.

"I'm investigating the fire eleven years ago," Shirley said in a low voice, as if she had figured out something all at once, as if she had simply given up on something, "and that's what the official records say, the leak at the factory in the sixth block......

"The fire from eleven years ago" Nina's eyes widened suddenly, and her tone was full of consternation, "Wait...... You too

Know about that fire eleven years ago!" …… You know it too! Shirley was surprised to be, she got up straight from her chair, you've been through that fire too."

"Of course I know that my parents died in that fire - I was six years old at the time, and Uncle Duncan rescued me," Nina said in a hurried tone, subconsciously gesturing with her hands, "but everyone has always said that I was confused by the toxic smoke on the street, they all said that there was no fire at all, and even later newspapers said that there was only an accident in one factory at that time......"

"That year...... I was also six years old, and my parents died in the fire, and I remember it vividly," Shirley looked Nina in the eye, "but people around me also told me that there was no fire at all...... No wonder Ah Dog said he smelled a familiar smell in you......

As soon as she finished speaking, Duncan's voice suddenly came from the side: "So, it was Ah Gou who guided you closer to Nina."

Mixed into the school—and you don't know why you're doing it, that's why you just heard Nina's words

Be so surprised. ”

Facing Duncan's calm gaze, Shirley quickly nodded, and Nina showed a somewhat puzzled look: "Who is Dog, Dog?"

"Dog, it's ......," Shirley said, but the next second she hesitated, she glanced at Duncan, and then at Shirley, "Dog is my friend, it's right next to me, but its appearance can be a little scary............"

Shirley said this, but the feeling in her heart was extremely strange - because there was obviously a subspace shadow that was countless times more scary than a dog sitting next to her, and this subspace shadow was still getting along with Nina day and night, so she had to cooperate with the big guy's "private hobby", pretending that A dog was the most scary existence here, and treating the big guy as an ordinary human being......

In all fairness, she's used the dog's camouflage ability to move around on weekdays, dealing with cultists, sheriffs, and even pastors in small local churches, and all of these things add up to the thrill of sitting in this antique shop for ten minutes.

This ordinary shop is almost the same level as the entrance to the subspace in her eyes.

Nina just looked curiously, looking for the figure of "Ah Dog" beside Shirley, and looked at it for a long time before asking curiously: "Then you let "Ah Dog" come out to meet me, since it is your friend...... What am I afraid of."

Shirley was still a little hesitant, but Duncan suddenly knocked lightly on the table and said to Nina: "Then you have to be mentally prepared, I have seen 'Ah Dog', it is really ugly."

"Then I'm even more curious," Nina became even more curious when she saw Uncle Duncan and Shirley's reaction, "I really wanted to meet that Mr. 'Dog', and wondered why Shirley's friend had such a strange name."

"Well, since you want to see it," Duncan shook his head and looked at Shirley a little helplessly, "let Dog come out and say hello, after all, it's also today's 'guest'."

Under normal circumstances, Shirley would never expose her and Gou's secrets, because in the city-state of order, walking with a ghostly demon is an extremely taboo thing in itself, and the priests of the Deep Sea Church can directly slam the eight-pounder cannon and six-barreled machine gun in front of her, even if they only sense a little dark aura.

Now, however, a subspace shadow-level being asks her to summon a dog.

Oh.

She nodded, then slowly raised her arm. In the next second, in Nina's stunned and slightly nervous gaze, dark flames and smoke suddenly rose up around Shirley!

The chains extended from the flames, and the shadowy demon condensed at the end of the smoke and black flames.

The ghostly hound appeared in the flames, and quickly shrunk into a ball in a second, and then hugged his head with his front paws, hid the most frightening eye sockets on his body, and greeted Nina in a sullen voice in a cloud of black smoke: "Good evening, miss, I'm a dog, Shirley's friend and guardian dog, my appearance does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics of humans, but you can look at it with abstract and tolerant eyes, so that I am just a pile of cleverly stacked bone fragments and a slightly strange color."

Duncan glanced at Shirley lightly: "In all fairness, I have really never seen such a heart-moving dog in my life...... In terms of personality alone, it's quite cute. ”

Nina on the other side was dumbfounded, and looked at Ah Gou in astonishment for a long time before finally exclaiming: "Ah!

Shirley hurriedly spoke: "I said you might be scared ......"

As a result, before she finished speaking, she heard Nina pick up the second half of the exclamation: "This is so powerful!"

Shirley: "......

"You...... Hello" While Shirley was stunned, Nina had already begun to say hello to Dog tentatively, "Mr. Dog, are you a 'gentleman'?"

"The Shadow Demon has no gender, but you can call me that if you want," Dog replied sullenly, and seemed a little surprised, "You......... Not afraid of me."

"It's okay, although it does look a little scary," Nina thought about it, and a bright smile appeared on her face, but I was quite bold~"
