1. Paranormal phenomena outside the city
For Bobby, the most important thing she wants to do now is rewind a few hours ago. Because then she wouldn't be in a dilemma like she is now.
As a heroic spirit who is always bullied and often called upon by Frey's side, Bobby herself has had enough. But just recently, another "little devil" was born that made her cry and laugh, and she couldn't get angry.
That's right, it's Charlotte, and only Charlotte. If it were someone else, Poppy would have punched her in the head. But this Charlotte is the one who can't make her angry and make her cry the most among all of them. Because Frey was almost spoiling her with her life.
But Charlotte seems to be eyeing Bobby, thinking of ways to bully her every day, if other guys can fight with them, then in the face of Charlotte's prank, which can only silently accept her pranks, is the most unacceptable to Bobby.
So Poppy escaped, but if she had to go back a few hours ago and choose again, she would definitely choose to continue with Charlotte's pranks. Because it's better than it seems like you're in big trouble right now.
Poppy, who ran away, originally planned to distract herself, and then wait until she was in a better mood to go back to face Charlotte's "little devil", after all, this has almost become her daily task, but when she was walking in the suburbs, a monster suddenly came to her and began to show its teeth and claws.
Indeed, the body of a thing that can only be described as a "monster" is as disgusting as if it had been spliced together by a corpse. Feeling that it would be terrible to cut down, Poppy chose to deal with this monster that didn't seem to have a high IQ in a different way.
After smashing the stones again, the flying stone fragments smashed the other party into a hornet's nest. Bobby patted her clothes in satisfaction. But the joy has not yet had time to subside. She jumped to her feet in fright at the scene in front of her.
Right where the stone was broken. Plumes of black smoke still came out of the ground. It was only rocks and dirt around here, and it couldn't have been a fire at all. And no matter how you look at it, the smoke looks a little disgusting.
Pile up the earth, pour it with water, and repress it with stones...... After trying all the methods that Poppy could think of but didn't work, Poppy, looking at the ground that was still smoking, finally discovered a fact that made her panic.
I'm in trouble, and ...... It doesn't seem to be small.
So. If the clock had been a few hours earlier, Poppy wouldn't have chosen to run around.
"Frey!
Bobby, who rushed back, slammed the door open, and Frey was changing her clothes in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
After growing up physically, Frey now has only three interests left, watching the stars, playing with Charlotte, and changing clothes to show off.
"Oh no, Frey!
Although she wanted to just pass it on, Poppy knew better that if something big happened because of this, it would definitely be her own unlucky.
"Just outside the city, strange smoke came out. ”
"It's a family that's lighting the fire. ”
Frey, who had changed her clothes, didn't seem to care. "What a fuss. ”
"It's not a fire, it's real. ”
Poppy, who came in a hurry, hurriedly gestured. Although Frey didn't look interested at all.
"Come and take a look with me, I feel a little strange. ”
"I don't have time, I'm going to play with Charlotte next. ”
Frey laughed like a girl, and it was clear that Bobby's vague description was nothing to mention compared to Charlotte.
"Maybe it's just some strange phenomenon, don't panic. ”
"But ......"
No, I can't listen to it at all. But if you don't show up, you can't describe it at all.
"Frey!"
Just when Poppy didn't know what to do, Mia also hurried in, and looked even more anxious.
"Frey, Charlotte is with you...... Aren't you there?"
"Charlotte, what's wrong with Charlotte?"
As for Charlotte's affairs, Frey was visibly intrigued, "I'm about to go to Charlotte." ”
“...... Well, you're looking for Charlotte. ”
Mia frowned, "Charlotte is gone, and you haven't found it anywhere." ”
Charlotte is gone?
Poppy, who hadn't recovered from the strange sight he had seen before, felt his head still dazed again.
It's a well-known fact that Charlotte often runs away, and of course everyone goes out to find her, although in the end, they basically find her in some strange places.
Charlotte's explanation for such behavior is "exploration", even though she never left the area once.
"It's all been searched outside the city, and Charlotte can't go too far with Lychee. ”
"But I can't find it at all." ”
"Are you hiding somewhere?"
Frey's face also turned a little worse, after all, Charlotte was too important to her.
"Didn't it happen very often before? Charlotte didn't know where she had gone, and finally came back when she was hungry. ”
"I didn't find it last night!" Mia took Frey's hand, "Lilith thought she had spent the night at Lychee's and didn't bother, but when she searched for it this morning, she found out that she and Lychee had left together and had disappeared last night. ”
Nights don't come home...... This is indeed a little strange for Charlotte, who is still just a child.
And it's already afternoon now, even Charlotte can't be out there for that long. But it's unlikely that she was taken away by some bad guy, after all, Charlotte has intelligence that doesn't fit her age, and at least she can tell the good from the bad of strangers.
"The whole city is locked down, and all vehicles entering and leaving are checked first. ”
Frey seemed to be a different person in an instant, "In addition, call a magician to guard it together, maybe it is some high-IQ kidnapping and blackmail." ”
"These have been done. But I don't think it has much to do with kidnapping. ”
"Even if it's not big, it's important to prevent it first. ”
Frey said, "In addition, let the troops go out of the city to search, as many as they can, and don't let go of a corner." Maybe Charlotte is trapped somewhere, pay more attention to the search of some dangerous areas. Bobby, hurry up and talk. ”
"Ahh ”
Now, it's a fantasy to go back to the strange black smoke that Freti just discovered. And although Charlotte has been fixing herself, if she really goes missing.
Sure enough, I'm still a little worried. (To be continued......)
