Boom.

"Hey, you're ......"

The accusation that came to his lips was not able to be said in the end, because Takeya saw a color called dead ash in the eyes of the person who bumped into him.

Passing through the crowd like walking corpses, Takeshi had no way to scold them for their rudeness, and the faces of these people were imprinted with deep fear, which was the only thing left to them by the youkai, and I am afraid that it was also the darkness that they could not erase for the rest of their lives.

These people who actually survived were no different from those who died, they had lost the most important thing, and their carrion-like bodies exuded a fear of youkai.

The number of people who escaped from the Northland was beyond Takeya's expectations, and he had already walked ten miles outside the city, but the density of the crowd had not diminished in the slightest.

"Aaron? You're here too? ”

"Qingming?"

Surprised that they could meet each other in such a place, Wu Ye sighed in his heart, and slowly stepped forward and asked, "Qingming, aren't you going back to the city?" How did it end up here? ”

"Come and help," Qingming showed obvious helplessness, looking at the crowd, she couldn't help sighing: "There are too many refugees from the north, and someone must maintain order." ”

"I see." Takeya nodded understandingly.

But after hesitating for a moment, Qingming came to Wu Ye's side and said in a low voice: "Actually, the master has another layer of arrangements, asking us to guard against the sudden attack of the monsters here. ”

As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes, and Takeya realized that the farther away from Kyoto, the more Onmyoji there were, and it happened that until the position of Qingming was the largest.

But he was still puzzled: "You said that the monster suddenly attacked? No, aren't these people the ones that the monsters took their own initiative to release? ”

"We didn't expect the youkai to attack the Northland before they captured it," Harumi patted Takeya on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, it's always right to be careful." ”

"But why did you run so far?" Takeya compared the distance from here to Kyoto, and said suspiciously: "Not to mention that there are walls in Kyoto that can be used as a line of defense, let's just say that in case you can't stop it, it's not convenient to send reinforcements from Kyoto, right?" ”

"It should be to protect more people," Qingming looked at Takeya's questioning gaze, and couldn't help but add two words: "Probably." ”

Qingming is not stupid, she doesn't believe in this reason, if it is really to protect more people, then the defense line should be pushed forward, looking from Qingming Ming's position, the number of refugees in the rear still seems to be endless.

It's strange that most of the onmyoji are gathered near Qingming's location, and no matter how far away they are, there is no combat power at all.

This is obviously for some special reason.

Qingming frowned, as if she was struggling with something, she looked left and right for a while, and then said to Wu Ye: "Actually, the master explained a sentence before I came out." ”

"What?" Qingming is really a good cliché, and despite a hint of guilt in his heart, Wu couldn't help but prick up his ears in curiosity.

"Youkai must not be allowed to get close to Kyoto, they must be kept at bay here." Harumi pointed to his feet, which was about ten miles from Kyoto.

Ten miles away from Kyoto? Is it because there are some secrets in Kyoto? But it doesn't make sense, as long as you break through Kyoto, there's no point in anything, right? The distance of the battlefield seems to have no practical meaning at all, except for increasing the difficulty of the game.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, Aaron, why are you here? Did Miss Yuuko ask you to help? ”

"Huh? Ah, that's right, Yuko asked me to help. ”

Wu also ran the train with his mouth full of seriousness, and the intention of discovering coolies in Qingming's eyes would not be missed by him, so he seized the opportunity to decisively find an excuse to slip away.

After saying goodbye to Qingming, Takeya continued all the way in the direction that inevitably came, and the only consolation for him was that he finally saw the end of the refugee group.

To be precise, it is not the end of the line, but the team of refugees has become sparse, and there are not a few people in twos and threes.

But strange things happened, compared to the previous group of soulless guys, they seemed to be more in line with the three words of refugees, because their fears had been fully embodied, such as shouting loudly and the like.

"Help——!

The ragged man saw Takeya's appearance as if he had grasped the last straw, and at this moment he couldn't care about Takeya's strange dress and weird mask.

He clutched the corner of Takeya's clothes tightly, and pointed to the small hillside behind him with trembling fingers: "Yes, there are monsters!" ”

“......”

Wu also pondered, isn't this nonsense? There are no monsters, why are you fleeing, now he is very familiar with the demon qi, and there is no monster breath in the air at all.

Although he already thought in his heart that this was a poor fellow who had been frightened crazy, he still patiently asked, "Where is it?" ”

"Just, right there!" As soon as the man's voice fell, as if it had been done on purpose, an explosion occurred on the other side of the hillside, and a wisp of black smoke rose high.

Could it really be a monster?

The irrefutable evidence is there, and Wu Ye seems to believe it even if he doesn't believe it.

The hillside was not too steep, but it was easy to block people's vision from a distance, and after briefly calming the refugees who asked for help, Takeya quickly climbed the hillside.

Rumble.

It was another sudden explosion prevention, and after the field of vision was broadened, Wu also easily found the location of the explosion, Onmyoji?

Looking closely, it was indeed an onmyoji, the original white Taoist robe was full of scorched black marks, and his body was extremely embarrassed, in addition to him, there were actually five or six companions lying nearby.

Under closer inspection, Wu Ye was surprised to find that these guys who fell to the ground had just lost their combat effectiveness, and they could still breathe, indicating that they were still alive.

It's really lucky, I met such a strange monster, and I didn't kill it.

There was no extra time for Wu Ye to consider, because the last person standing was also put in, and the way the opponent attacked was very monotonous, just an ordinary fireball.

I'm in trouble again.

Wu also didn't want to clash with youkai at this time, but he couldn't sit idly by, right? In the final analysis, his original position was very ambiguous, and if he could, it was best for him not to help each other.

It would be best if the two sides fought inseparably, but the Onmyoji was defeated too quickly.

Just when Wu Ye was depressed and sighed what kind of teammates Qingming had lined up, he found that there was actually a convoy on the edge of the battlefield.

It is said that the convoy actually only has an ox cart and a person, and the cattle are not yet gone.

Well, this has finally found a reason for this group of onmyoji not to talk about their dishes.
