I couldn't understand my situation.

Last time, I also deviated from the normal time and space on the nameless mountain for no reason, and strayed into the mountain forest at night, but at that time I was walking on the mountain. This time, I was clearly in a hotel in the scenic area at the foot of the mountain, but when I woke up, I found myself in a dark mountain forest. Could it be that I was sleepwalking, and I climbed up the mountainside unhindered while sleepwalking?

I'd rather believe I'm still dreaming.

But everything in front of me is so real. The cold wind with moisture stroked my skin and stirred goosebumps, the rustling of leaves and grass, the shrill chirping of insects, and the occasional distant movement of an unknown animal passing through the bushes. Everything was the same as last time and five years ago, and I even reflexively felt a sense of timidity.

There is no doubt that this is the reality.

I say this to myself.

At this moment, a wonderful feeling rose from my inner world. Like last time, I once again had a mysterious intuition, which seemed to be some kind of inspiration that was guiding me deeper into the forest. Immersed in this feeling, I could even hallucinate a voice that wasn't supposed to exist, and that voice seemed to say, "Here."

But this time, I didn't choose to be guided by my intuition.

Last time, I followed this inexplicable guidance that I met the demon and was eventually killed by him. This time, I'm going in the opposite direction.

Just as I turned to take a step, in the distance behind me, about two or three hundred meters away, there was a loud explosion, like a missile crashing to the ground. Although I have never seen a missile bomb in real life, I can only describe it as a loud noise at this moment. The tremor from the explosion was even very visible to my feet, and the wind caused by the shock wave caused the trees to stir and howl all the way to me.

The mountains and forests were so quiet before, but now the sudden explosion made my mood and eardrum irritate. I immediately looked back and saw a particularly striking fire and black smoke in the distance.

It seems to be the direction of the demons.

In the light of the fire and black smoke, I faintly glimpsed the glow and roar of cyan thunder.

Could it be that this is made by a bluebird? Was it she who caused the explosion? She found the demon and got into a firefight?

I haven't figured out what the hell is going on, but I'm obviously right to stay away from that direction, and this place is not to stay long!

Without hesitation, I turned around and ran.

However, my plan didn't go so well.

No matter how much I ran, I couldn't feel myself distancing myself from the roar of the firefight in the distance. Not only that, but the terrifying sound was getting closer and closer to me at a considerable speed. When I looked back, the sound was only a few tens of meters away, and the cyan thunder was no longer faintly visible, and I could clearly see that the body of the thunder was a person wrapped in cyan electricity.

And by the dazzling thunder, I could see that this man was fighting with another figure covered in darkness.

It's the Blue Bird and the Devil!

It was at this distance that I was able to barely capture the high-speed movement of the two of them. Strictly speaking, I could only capture the movement of the Majin, and his speed was like a literal arrow off the string. If it's at close range, his movement is no different to me than teleporting.

And the blue bird sometimes seems to be transformed into a swift thunderbolt, repeatedly exceeding my dynamic vision, and I can only judge what movement route she has passed by the residue that stays on my retina.

She held the lightning sword in her right hand that I had seen before, and every time she swung and slashed through the air, she would burst into a thunderbolt of incredible power, sometimes at least five in a second or even in a row. But each time, he was evaded by the demons as if he knew the future, or he swung a giant axe to smash the thunder. When the thunder falls to the ground, it will form the destructive power of the mine's explosion.

The battle between the two of them was so terrifying, which was far beyond my expectations.

In my expectation, although the demon is powerful, it is only the physical ability that surpasses that of ordinary people, but in the face of such a powerful blue bird, the demon does not seem to be left behind......

Speaking of which, all my knowledge of the demons' combat power comes from the experience of the demons killing me last time. But it's just to kill my little Li Duo, how can he show the upper limit of his demon combat power?

Just as I looked at the demon, the demon seemed to sense my gaze, and he jerked his faceless face to "look" at me.

Immediately after, he made a decision that I couldn't understand.

He actually left the blue bird and came straight to me!

With his speed, no matter how much I tried to escape, it would be useless. But he committed a fatal mistake, and he stupidly exposed his back to the real enemy.

Blue Bird didn't miss this great opportunity, she changed from holding the sword in one hand to holding the sword in two hands, and held the lightning sword high above her head. The Thunderbolt Sword suddenly became huge, turning into a - or rather, "one" super Thunderbolt Sword with a length of more than twenty meters.

This huge lightsaber overflowing with cyan thunder and lightning illuminated the dark mountain forest as if it were day.

I didn't look at what happened after that, because I had already hidden behind the nearest tree and closed my eyes and ears. I also know that the blue bird is going to take this opportunity to destroy the demon with the strongest trick. Immediately after, a pop that was beyond my limit exploded, and the over-bright light seemed to pierce my eyelids. I felt my body fly into the air under the explosion, and my head was dizzy.

I was probably in a coma for a while, but soon, the feeling of being carried by someone and the jolting shook me back to my senses, and there was darkness all around.

"Blue Bird?" My voice was harsher than I had expected.

"Hmm." It is the voice of a blue bird. I found myself deaf, and it seemed like she had done some emergency treatment for me, but the pain of the torn eardrum was still there.

"Is he dead?" I asked.

"Nope." She said.

"What ......" I can't imagine how the Majin would have survived such a massive attack.

"Because that guy is immortal......" she said bitterly. This statement makes me doubt my ears, immortality? Demons? He can't be killed?

Then, the blue bird asked, "What about you?" Why are you here? ”

"I don't know, it seems to be sleepwalking. It's here after waking up. "I was honest with my answer, but I knew that it was not convincing.

"Really?" Her tone was so bad that I couldn't tell if she was okay with that answer, and then, she said, "The Majin seems to want to kill you......

I was wondering about this, but before I could respond, she fell to the ground suddenly, and I fell to the ground while she was carrying.

I reluctantly stood up, and now I could see where I was, still in the forest. The blue bird also staggered to prop up her body, and I noticed that her white T-shirt and blue jeans were soaked in blood and mud, and her body seemed to be covered in scarf under the clothes.

"You're ......"

"Don't say it, run."

She grabbed my right hand and pulled me to run. I remembered that she had pulled me to run like she did during the day after she had cut down the street tree, but at the moment there was only a chill in my heart.

"Looks like this mountain isn't going to let us go......" She sighed after running a short distance.

"The mountain?"

"You probably can't feel it, I just noticed that. This mountain, to be exact, this mountain forest, has a magic that makes people get lost. "People who wander outside the mountains get lost, and people who are inside can't get out, that's how it works." ”

"Did the demons turn the mountains and forests like this?"

"Probably not."

"Could it be that the people who disappeared here in the past are also because of this ......" I remembered the missing front table and the young girl.

The undisguised sound of footsteps came from behind in a hurry. Undoubtedly, it was the demon who was approaching at a rapid pace, and I could feel the great killing intent from this footnote. At the same time, the deep voice of the blue bird sounded in my ears, "Li Duo, I'm sorry...... I can't protect you anymore. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she let go of my right hand and shoved me so violently that I fell uncontrollably to the ground.

What is she doing? I was confused for a moment, and I remembered a black joke I heard a long time ago: the two were chased by a man-eating hungry tiger in the jungle, although neither of them was as fast as the tiger, but as long as they ran faster than the people around them, the slow person would naturally become the bait responsible for attracting the tiger.

She's ...... Do you want to use me as bait?

However, in the next moment, I was deeply ashamed of my superficial and despicable thoughts.

Where he had been standing, a huge rusted axe emerged from the darkness and fell like a guillotine. I was saved by being pushed away by the blue bird, but she couldn't retract her arm, and her left forearm was slashed off by the axe blade, and blood spurted out.

"Run!" She shouted as she condensed the lightning sword and stabbed at the demon.

But the Mato didn't pay any attention to the blue bird that attacked him, and he didn't hesitate to face me. Even though the lightning sword pierced through his heart, he didn't waver in the slightest, and still swung the great axe at me.

I couldn't see the look or expression in the featureless face, but I felt a strong and clear will in it - he hated me more than anyone else, and he would kill me no matter how many times I ran to the ends of the earth, no matter how many times I repeated it.

My vision spun abruptly and flew away, then fell to the grass.

In the end, what came to my ears was the cry of the bluebird's grief and anger, and the noise of thunder and lightning.

----

The sound of the train's radio woke me up:

"At the next stop 'Nameless Mountain Station', open the left door, and please give up your love seat to passengers in need......"

I seemed to wake up from an incredibly vivid nightmare, with the train carriage in front of me, and the warm sunlight shining through the window. There are no dark mountains and forests that you can't get out of, no demons, no blue birds, no pain and death. I'm back in the waking world.

However, I know that these are not nightmares, they are real things.

I'm back again.

The face of the blue bird was clearly visible in my consciousness.

When I first met her, I looked down on her because of her too young appearance, thinking that such a person didn't look like a national first-class demon hunter, and then I actually mistakenly thought for a moment that the reason why she pushed me away was to feed me as bait to the demon man, so that I could escape secretly.

I just felt like my face was burning. At the same time, I was haunted by my own death. But the shame of misunderstanding others even overwhelmed the palpitations for a short time.

There is no doubt that she is a person with real heroic qualities, and where am I qualified to belittle such a person in my heart?

Luckily, I had a chance to make a comeback.

Time Back...... I used to suspect that this was a miracle that would only happen once, so I didn't feel comfortable relying on this kind of thing. But since it will happen repeatedly, it will not be a simple miracle. I don't know why this phenomenon is repeated in a person like me, who can be seen everywhere, but if I can make good use of this phenomenon, will I also have the power to punish evil and promote good, and become a hero of my childhood fantasy? It's like ...... Blue Bird?

Let's not talk about the distant things first, but summarize the last time.

If I call my first encounter with Majin the "first time", then the last time is the "second time".

In "The Second Time", I mysteriously sleepwalked into the dark forests of the Nameless Mountain, which has the property of being "disoriented", and the Majin is also in the forest.

My sleepwalking, the lost mountains, the terrifying demons...... It would be too inconsistent to treat these three as three paranormal events isolated from each other.

Even if paranormal events are not so rare at the national level, they should be ultra-low probability events that may not be seen once in a lifetime at the private level, but I, an ordinary person, have encountered three at once, and I can't imagine how low this probability is. Therefore, I tend to interpret it as "different components of a paranormal event".

The demon's murderous intent to me from nowhere can also bear witness to this theory, and it seems that I have already formed an unsympathetic relationship with this demon at some point. Based on this theory, although the blue bird said that the disorientation of the mountains and forests was not the work of the demons, there should be other perspectives that can connect the two.

I thought that my life would not be in danger as long as I stayed away from the Nameless Mountain, but now it seems that this is nothing more than an optimistic based on ignorance. Before I knew it, I myself had become a part of this paranormal event.

Run away or not – it's best to just throw it in the trash. The demon is not the "earthbound spirit" of the Nameless Mountain, and the blue bird mentioned that he is a murderer. If you just go back to the city and live a normal life, maybe one day you will be captured and killed by the demons. The worst thing is that not long after lying down in the city, you come back to your senses and find yourself mysteriously sleepwalking on a nameless mountain.

I have to be active in doing something, no longer just as a "reporter of the paranormal", I have to be involved myself.

But how exactly do you get involved? The battlefield between the blue bird and the demons, is it something that I can participate in if I say participating?

Although I was at a loss, no matter what the plan was, I had to contact the blue bird first.

After that, I scrupulously imitated what I had done last time, first going to the shop at the foot of the Nameless Mountain to buy water, then going to the police station to report the crime, and then returning to the station, silently waiting for the old man from the witcher department I had seen last time to pat me on the shoulder.

But this time, no one came.

waited until evening, and no one came, whether it was the old man or the blue bird.
