2. Unlucky finds
Charlotte was lost with Lychee, and unlike previous ones, this time it was really lost. Although Frey made one search instruction after another in a hurry, she should be able to know as long as she calmed down. Charlotte and Lychee can't meet any bad guys at all, it's better to say that the two of them are "bad guys".
Who else in the city doesn't know Charlotte, the "little devil", whose first reaction after seeing her is not to provoke her first?
"Can't find it, can you?"
Facing Poppy who was hurrying in, Mia sighed.
If it was really just a carpet search to find Charlotte, who would tell Frey the news to stimulate her?
"There's no hope, but no one has seen them before, right?"
"Well, everyone doesn't seem to know where Charlotte and Lychee went. ā
It stands to reason that Bobby, who should be bullied by Charlotte the most, is actually trying the hardest to find Charlotte now, but Mia is not unable to understand Bobby's thoughts.
After all, all of a sudden, there is one less child that you can meet every day, and everyone will feel lonely. And Charlotte doesn't always make Poppy so miserable.
The only clue was that of a soldier who had returned from somewhere else in a carriage, and he said that Charlotte and Lychee had been in his car for a while, but they had left outside the city. There are no other clues at all. ā
Hitchhiked out of town and got off after that. With the body of two small children, they should not be able to go far, if they really plan to travel far. It's also impossible to get off the bus just outside the city.
Really. Did you get lost near the outskirts of the city?
"Did you search outside the city?"
"Looking. And it was Frey who went in person. ā
ā...... Is there anything else?" Mia stared at Poppy's complicated face, obviously, Poppy, who couldn't hide the secret, was worried about something other than Charlotte's loss.
"Don't hide anything from yourself, especially if you find it strange. ā
"But shouldn't you focus on finding Charlotte now?"
"It's because of this that I don't let go of anything. ā
"Which, actually...... I was careless on the outskirts of the city...... It seems that I have touched something that I shouldn't touch. ā
After getting Mia's approval, Poppy broke up. You don't have to ask to know that what she is worried about is definitely not a happy thing.
"There's a piece of ground there that's already smoking. ā
On the outskirts of town, strange things.
"Why didn't you say it earlier. ā
Mia said and took Poppy's hand, "I think Charlotte probably disappeared near the outskirts of the city, whatever it is, anyway, let's go and have a look first." ā
......
By the time Poppy hurried Mia to the marked place, Frey looked like she had been there for a long time.
Maybe it's because of the thief's weak heart? Poppy lost his confidence the moment he saw Frey.
"Bobby, what's going on?"
Upon seeing Poppy, Frey pointed to the marker that had been scratched on the ground, "This is the mark you used to mark. You've been here before?"
"Woo......"
"This is no ordinary thing. ā
The familiar feeling made Mia frown, it should be said that Bobby was unlucky. Or lucky, because the place she found is really hard to ignore.
The black smoke that kept rising up gave Mia the same thing in the box that Pandora was holding, in Loki's words, "filth".
"Bobby, you should know that this kind of place is not ordinary, why don't you come back and talk to Frey right away?"
"Whew, that's why I said it. ā
Poppy looked innocent, "But Frey didn't listen to me." ā
"I didn't hear that. ā
No, Frey must have heard it, probably because she was in a hurry to find Charlotte, and was selectively ignored.
"Well, it's useless to argue about that now. ā
Looking at the ground that was still bubbling with black gas, Mia sighed, "Bobby, please go and catch a small animal nearby, I want to be a real yĆ n." ā
"Okay. ā
Despite the doubts on her face, Bobby quickly disappeared from Mia's eyes.
However, the so-called "doing" is just a confirmation again, because the black smoke coming out of the ground must be the so-called "filth".
Merely......
"It's too fast, it's not been long since then, why is there such a large capacity so soon. ā
Mia stared at the ground, since she was already able to pass through the ground and swelled into smoke and float into the air, it was hard to imagine how much such "filth" was hidden in the ground.
So Poppy was lucky enough to accidentally tear the ground open...... Probably she's ...... by now
"Charlotte's loss, will it have anything to do with this?"
Frey's face was completely wrong, but considering what she was thinking about right now, the worst possibility was understandable.
"I guess you're thinking too much. There is no sign of anyone coming here, and Charlotte will not have an accident. ā
Despite saying this, Mia still couldn't hide the anxiety in her heart, what happened in front of her was an event about the same level as Charlotte's disappearance, and it happened that at this time, Charlotte and Lychee didn't know where they went.
"Long, long wait. ā
Soon, a sweaty Bobby ran over with a rabbit whose legs were still fluttering. "Is a rabbit okay?"
"No problem, it's better than a tiger or something. ā
Mia nodded, "Bobby, please throw the rabbit there." ā
"Understood. ā
Poppy, who didn't know anything, did Mia's request and threw the rabbit on the ground that was emitting black smoke. But it soon became clear to her why Mia and Frey looked so nervous.
The rabbit that had just touched the ground immediately seemed to have changed its appearance, its body was not only surrounded by black smoke, but its size also skyrocketed in an instant, and more importantly, it actually pounced on Bobbi after struggling for a while.
"Wow...... This ......"
Bobby finally understood why Mia said "rabbits are better than tigers", but ...... Monster, she's not without impressions. Because she had solved a "monster" before, she accidentally discovered this strange area.
"Sure enough...... Here's the problem. ā
Mia sighed, "Frey, I'll leave it to you to find Charlotte, I have to find a way to relieve this bigger trouble for a while." (To be continued......)
