With the style of biting blood, it is not possible to stay in a fixed place for a long time, not to mention that today's mirage has an investigation team dispatched by the headquarters of the Security Bureau. Judging from the information given to me by Len, the time when the informant witnessed the bite was in the early hours of this morning. The problem is that I don't know how long the bite will last this time. If you want to track it, it's better to hurry up.

At the moment, Qiao Licorice quickly packed up and prepared to set off with me.

"Since you're in a hurry, let's drive over this time, it's going to be much faster. The car is used in the bureau. Saying that, she sighed, "The car in the bureau is much better than the car I bought, but unfortunately I don't usually have a chance to get started." ”

"You can too. But this time, don't send strange things to the bluebird before you go. I remind.

"What do you mean by something strange?" She asked with a smile, it must have been on purpose, "If you don't make it clear, how can I understand?" ”

"It's an adult cartoon where a husband hides from his wife who stays at home when he's on a business trip with a female colleague." At this time, if I show timidity, I will be teased by her, so I tightened my face and said without any ups and downs, "You passed that kind of thing on your mobile phone last time when you set off for Bluebird, Bluebird complained to me, I think that is very bad." ”

"Actually...... she said," she said, dumbfounded, and then added, "Okay, I understand." I also think that incident is a bit excessive, and I have already apologized to the blue bird. Guaranteed not to do it again. ”

"That's good." I was relieved, then took out my phone and told Bluebird on the phone that I was going on a business trip with Joe Licorice.

The blue bird rushed over at the first time, and although she also wanted to go with her, she could not get permission from the list, so she could only send us off in a sullen manner. After saying goodbye for a while, I got into the passenger seat of the car.

Qiao Licorice sat in the driver's seat, she looked at the blue bird's expression, and suddenly clenched her fist to cheer herself up, "This time, you must take down the dark junior who is like a jade after 'going ashore'!" ”

Hearing this, the blue bird stood outside the car window and said, "If you say that again, I will ignore you next month and next month." ”

After finishing speaking, she also seemed to feel that her threat was too childish, and made herself laugh first. Qiao Licorice also laughed, then turned to me and said, "I'm sorry, junior." It seems that we can only be temporarily separated and become a pair of ordinary colleagues. ”

"We're just ordinary colleagues. And 'temporarily' is redundant. Then I said to the bluebird, "Well, I'll go first." ”

She nodded and said seriously, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

——

The car left from Liucheng along the highway. I had nothing to do in the passenger seat but to watch the scenery fly by outside the window. Occasionally turning her head to look at Joe Licorice, she looked intently ahead, her hands on the steering wheel.

It's not just Joe Licorice who can drive, but Bluebird can drive, and I, as a man, don't know anything about it, and I'm always embarrassed to sit in their passenger seat. Should I also learn to drive and get a driver's license? But I don't own a car, and if it weren't for that situation, I wouldn't have had much interest in driving a car. And the car is not as fast as me, if I have to go to the mirage by myself, maybe I can run.

I thought in a divergent way while the sun moved slowly across the sky. By noon, we were not far from the mirage. It seems that the climate of the region is different, and a faint fog can be seen faintly outside the car window.

The phone rang suddenly, and I was taken out of my divergent thinking. It was Lie's call to me. After connecting, his voice came, "Li Duo, have you arrived at the mirage?" I called Mingyi just now, but I didn't get through, so I have to ask you to find him yourself. ”

"I see. Just go to the Mirage Security Bureau and you'll find him, right? I said.

"Yes. However, I also called the Mirage Security Bureau just now......" Suddenly, the signal became intermittent, and his words could not be heard clearly, "but...... Not...... You ......"

In the end, the phone doesn't seem to be receiving a signal at all. I hung up and called Lie Que again, but I couldn't get through. I was talking on the phone and looking out the window. At this time, the car has entered a forest road, perhaps because the signal in this area is not very good.

And that's when I noticed the fog outside. It's still light, but it seems to be a little deeper than just now. It's just that the problem is not here, as the fog deepened, I began to feel that the fog seemed to faintly exude a special feeling. I savored the feeling carefully. There can be no mistake, this is "familiarity". Where have I ever seen such a fog.

I immediately thought of the mist of the Fog Demon.

"When did it start fogging up outside?" I turned to ask about Joe Licorice.

She was stunned for a moment, and then wondered, "When...... I don't know. ”

Then, as if she had seen something on my face, she became serious, "What's wrong with this fog?" ”

"Make a U-turn first." I say.

"Okay." She followed the advice without hesitation.

This forest road seems to be a place where there is no popularity, and there are no other cars in sight, front and back, left and right, and it does not affect the steering. Joe Licorice drove the car back in the same direction as it had come, and increased his speed even further. However, the car drove for a long time, but it could not leave this forest road. It was not possible to think of this, I remember that it was not long before the car entered the forest road, and there was no fork in the road, it was a straight route. The current situation is like encountering a ghost hitting the wall.

Not only that, but the fog outside kept deepening. It was a light fog just now, but now it has become a thick fog, and the visibility is getting lower and lower. I even felt the spirituality of the demonic nature that was evident in the mist, and at the same time, the familiarity in my heart kept rising. Basically, it's certain that this fog is of the same type as the fog of the Fog Demon I've experienced in Daytown.

In other words, we are already in another dimension, and we can't get out of here by the usual means.

The question is, how could the fog of the Fog Demon appear in such a place?

I think of biting blood. According to the on-site investigation of the Tianhe City Security Bureau, after biting the blood and eating Wei Chi raw, the wooden box on Wei Chi's body was taken away, and the wooden box was sealed with a part of the gray mist. Since Biting Blood is in the mirage market, and we encountered such a fog on the way to the mirage market, can it be speculated that Biting Blood has discovered our existence in advance, and she has used the fog in the wooden box by some means to form a different space that traps us now.

How did she discover us in advance, was it a prophetic dream? But isn't she afraid of the Siren's Blade, so she doesn't use prophetic dreams to predict things related to me? Or is she so powerful that she can't even threaten the Siren's Blade?

No, it's too early to conclude that the bite has already been discovered. Now I can't contact Lieqing, and now it's a reasonable strategy to attack me and strangle me here, but I don't feel a similar danger. We're just stuck.

I told Jo Licorice about my observations, and she showed a helpless expression, "This is not even where it is, and I have encountered such a thing......"

But she quickly put her emotions in order. Warlocks are just susceptible to hidden events, just as detectives in mystery stories always encounter homicides. Presumably she has long been accustomed to this kind of experience of "encountering strange events when you go out".

Coldly, she slammed on the brakes and pulled the car to the side of the road. But it wasn't because she felt like it was a waste of effort to keep driving, but because something strange had appeared in front of her. It was a battered blue car, with the hood smashed, the front window shattered, and the doors limp open. Because the fog became thicker, the car appeared in front of it suddenly, but fortunately, Qiao Licorice slowed down the driving speed in advance, otherwise it might not have had time to brake, and it would have "died together".

There were no people in the car on the opposite side, only the car itself parked alone on the side of the road. We got out of the car together and walked over to take a closer look.

At this moment, from the depths of the dense fog came a strong, targeted malice.

"Wait." I stood in front of Joe's licorice.

Almost at the same moment, a carapace-sized demon covered in black metal carapace, like a carnivorous insect, swooped out of the fog. The movement was so fast that it was as if a real car was sprinting out of the fog and ramming into a person.

I'm too familiar with this type of demon, and I don't know how many I've killed in Daytown in the past. If he doesn't think about it, this is the tentacles of the Fog Demon.

Could it be that the demon of the fog was resurrected by biting blood? Or did you use the mist in the wooden box as a medium to re-summon another fog demon? That's not impossible, the Fog Demon's séance ritual was originally to bite the blood and I don't know where to take it out and hand it over to the evil move.

While doubting in my heart, I raised my right hand wrapped in black bandage and made a slashing gesture at the "tentacles" in front of me. Without any suspense, the "tentacles" were split in two in mid-air and fell to the ground tragically.

Qiao Licorice slowed down for a beat to react, and let out a startled cry.

"I'm scared, scared to death......" she said with trepidation.

"Don't be afraid, just like when we were in another dimension, I'll be responsible for protecting you. A demon of this magnitude won't hurt you in the slightest. I tried to say something that would calm her as I looked down at the corpse on the ground.

Then, I tried to sense if there were any other "tentacles" nearby. But just like when I was in Daylight, the fog had the effect of hindering awareness, and I couldn't clearly grasp the depths of the fog. What is certain is that even if there are other "tentacles", the other party will not be aware of our existence for the time being.

Let's decide on our next policy.

First of all, if this thick fog is a newborn fog demon, then I can't attack it with my strength. The reason why I was able to kill the Fog Demon last time was because the Fog Demon fused with the Succubus and possessed the indispensable "organ" of the Succubus. Under normal circumstances, the Fog Demon does not have that kind of weakness, and even the Siren Blade can't help a demon that is so large enough to cover the entire town.

So I had to find a way to get out. Luckily, this time I have experts around me who are good at attacking different dimensions.

I explained my thinking to Joe Licorice. She was new to the alien dimension formed by the Fog Demon, and she agreed with my proposal.

"Do you have a way to find the exit to this alien dimension?" I asked.

She took out the black metal compass that I had seen twice before, and after a moment of silence, said, "It's not very clear, but I can only say that there are some clues." ”

"Clues?" I asked.

"I can't find the exit from this different space, but I can deduce the approximate direction of the clues related to the exit." She looked at the woods beside the road, "I think I'm going there." ”

"Can you know the approximate distance?" I asked.

"It's a long way off." She could only give such a vague explanation, and then turned to look at the car she was driving over, "If you want to go through the woods, the car will have to park here first, and then come back to pick it up...... Let's hope no demon will take the opportunity to wreck the car. ”

Then she took the valuables that were easy to carry in the car and took them with her, and then went deep into the woods with me.

As you move forward, the fog gets thicker and thicker. Visibility was low before, but it was still possible to see ten meters away, but now it has become almost the same as it was in the days of Daytown, and the trees behind him seem to be swallowed up by the fog just by walking a few steps.

Time and space here are also likely to be chaotic. To prevent separation from Joe Licorice, I grabbed her wrist tightly and made my cautious progress through the fog. However, despite walking for some time, there was no sign of other "tentacles" on the way.

Didn't the Fog Demon branch out a lot of tentacles this time? Or is there something else? I silently pondered the changes, while pricking up my ears and listening carefully to the movements around me. When my vision and perception are not very effective, hearing is a tool that I have to use well.

The fog seemed to flood the entire forest, and occasionally the sound of birds, beasts, and insects could be heard. Suddenly, I caught a discordant movement.

It's human.

Just two hundred meters away, a human was walking through the trees.

According to the information from the listening feedback, the other party's weight is relatively light, and his movements are cautious, even dragging mud and water, as if he is not good at activities in the wild. Doesn't it feel like a dangerous character, is it an ordinary person?

I told Joe Licorice to take a detour, and she nodded and followed me in that direction. Soon, we were in front of the man.

It was a girl who looked like she was still in middle school, and she was caught off guard when she saw us and immediately sat down on the ground in fright. I could see her face clearly, but I didn't expect to see her here.

And Qiao Licorice was also surprised, and said incredulously: "Xiaojing? ”
