Chapter 7: The Shadows of the Park
Holding her wand tightly and wearing a golden ponytail, the magical girl soars into the sky, looking at the wetland forest at night.
In the daytime, it is a verdant and beautiful park full of natural beauty, but in the darkness it is like a predator's open mouth, waiting for the prey to enter it.
This faint aura of danger made her feel a chill in her back, and she couldn't help frowning.
"Xiaolu, I have a bad feeling now."
The solemn voice sounded in his ears.
This sentence was uttered by a strange animal that looked like a kitten, with a pink body, a fluffy body, and a pair of small wings on its back, which could not help but remind people of fairy tales.
The fairy flew behind the girl from the side, with a worried face: "Although it is very thin, but the residual magic around me makes my hair explode, and the enemy this time is probably very dangerous." ”
“…… Yes, I can feel it. ”
The magical girl, or Lin Xiaolu, tried to clean up the timidity complex in her heart, and stared directly at the woods in the park below: "Although I can't say clearly, I also feel very dangerous." ”
It's just that, having said that, the movements of her hands have not stopped. Waving the wand in his hand, and then slowly landing on the grass in the park, Lin Xiaolu briefly probed the surrounding enemy situation to ensure that the situation was safe.
This operation did not achieve anything, but the faint uneasiness still haunted her.
"Moko, can you still sense the enemy's position?"
She asked the pink elf for help.
The goblin called "Moco" closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then opened it suddenly: "No, I can still lock the enemy in this park before landing, but now I can't feel its specific location." ”
Lin Xiaolu was stunned: "Has there ever been such a situation before?" ”
"I haven't seen it at all."
Mo Ke looked helpless: "I should have told you before, as a goblin, it is also the first time for me to come to the material world, and many things are not clear." ”
"Moko...... Hello, useless. ”
"I'm going to be angry if I say something so hurtful to a goblin!"
The magical girl and the fairy walked slowly through the grass of the wetland park, keeping an eye out for clues around them. But until nearly ten minutes had passed, and they had approached the center of the park, they still found nothing.
Mo Ke, who was floating in the air, couldn't help but speak again: "Xiaolu, should we retreat first?" ”
The magical girl wondered, "Why?" ”
Mo Ke explained: "I always feel that the remnant beast this time is not a simple enemy, and the two of us may not be opponents, so it would be safer to go back to the adults of the Strange Strategy Bureau to learn more about the situation and ask for help." ”
"Huh? But asking for help from an adult or something.,Isn't this kind of behavior a bit inconsistent with the identity of a magical girl? ”
"This is not the time to be willful in such a strange place!"
"Hmm...... Got it. ”
The lingering chill behind Lin Xiaolu made Lin Xiaolu no longer insist, and quickly followed the goblin's advice: "Let's leave when we get to the center of the park and haven't found it yet." ”
Mo Ke nodded in agreement: "Move faster!" ”
They made an agreement that as long as they walked to the center of the park and did not encounter any enemies, they would go straight home.
Stepping all the way through the grassland, it didn't take long for the outline of the pavilions and water pavilions in the center of the park to appear in Lin Xiaolu's eyes, and seeing that he had come to the destination, Lin Xiaolu also lifted his mood and strode forward.
"I still haven't seen the remnants."
The girl blinked, tilted her head to the side of her head, "Moko, can you feel anything now?" ”
What comes into view is a void.
The goblin that was supposed to be flying by her side all the time was gone before she knew it.
“…… Moco? ”
The lonely voice of the magical girl is locked in the park.
Realizing that things began to develop in a direction beyond his control, Lin Xiaolu finally began to get nervous and began to look around for his partner.
"Moko?"
The confined woods became the best soundproofers, isolating her voice from the outside world.
In this way, after taking two steps with some eagerness, Lin Xiaolu suddenly heard a rustling sound from the bushes on the side.
The speed of her heart rate surged, and the magical girl immediately turned her gaze in that direction, and after setting up a posture for the battle in a hurry, she shouted with some lust:
"Who? Come out! ”
The response was a rather weak voice: "Hurry ......"
"What?"
"Run! Xiaolu! ”
This time, the magical girl heard clearly.
And as she could hear the sound not far away, a vague pink shadow flew from a distance, and then crashed into her arms.
At this time, the official party suddenly disappeared, her partner, Moko.
It's just that, compared to the undamaged appearance of a few minutes ago, Moke at this time was covered with wounds, even the wings on his back were missing, and there were deeper wounds across his body, and bursts of pink glowing particles couldn't stop floating out of the wounds, looking very embarrassed.
At this time, Mo Ke didn't care about his injury, but opened his mouth to shout: "Hurry up, this time the remnant beast ......"
- "Purr, purr, purr." ”
Like the roar of a wild beast, it came from the shadows of the trees not far away.
Without giving Mo Ke time to continue, a terrifying monster came out of the darkness, its claws pierced deep into the dirt under its feet, and without making any footsteps, it appeared in front of Lin Xiaolu.
"Purr, roar, roar, ......"
There is no doubt that this is a remnant.
Because it is impossible for any animal in the park to have a body of more than 4 meters, let alone two heads.
The dark purple fur was covered with an unknown liquid, the green eyes were filled with only a brutal desire to kill, and strange tubular structures protruded from its body, connecting from all parts of its body to its two salivating giant heads.
Just standing there makes you feel chilled.
This should be impossible for Lin Xiaolu, who is a magical girl.
After all, magical girls, there is no reason to be afraid of the remnant beast.
She gained this power to fight the remnants of the beast and protect others from harm, so why should she be afraid of the enemy she should have destroyed?
Lin Xiaolu didn't understand, but she couldn't restrain the negative thoughts in her heart.
Will you lose?
As soon as such a thought appeared, it was interrupted by an external voice:
- "Xiaolu! ”
The voice of her partner sounded in her ears again: "Hurry up!" ”
It's Moko, Moko shouting at her to run away.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the most important action she should take - survival.
Raising the wand in her hand, the air around the girl stirred, and then, with a whistling sound, she rushed into the sky. She had entered the park by flying through the air, so it was natural that it would be safer to escape from the air route.
Lin Xiaolu thought like this, but found that the remnant beast on the ground did not show any performance, even if he chose to fly away, it just stood quietly in place, watching everything with its faint green eyes.
Are there any pitfalls?
Before Lin Xiaolu could think about it, she noticed that her upward flight had stopped.
Instead, there is a strong feeling of squeezing from behind.
The injured goblin on the side struggled to ask her, "What's wrong?" Xiaolu? ”
Apparently, the partner's abrupt stop and run away baffled it.
Sensing that her face was also confused and flustered, it couldn't help but raise its paw and touch it to the top of her head, only to notice a feeling of repulsion, and then the paw was bounced away.
"Magic Barrier ......"
This time, even the goblin's face showed a somewhat desperate expression: "It's over, this was a trap from the beginning!" ”
In an instant, the mood of the magical girl and the fairy dropped to the freezing point.
However, unlike the goblins, Lin Xiaolu actually still retains some sense of battle, so he has been staring at the remnants of the beast below in his field of vision.
What made her feel the most chilling was not that her escape was blocked, but the expression on the hideous face of the remnant beast below when she stopped.
Can a crippled beast make such a humane expression?
She thought so, but suddenly she felt a flash in her vision, a flower in front of her, and everywhere she looked, the enemy had disappeared.
"-Xiaolu!"
And the next moment, in the mournful cry of the goblin, she got the answer.
The claws of the remnant had reached her throat.
In the end, there was a cruel and playful grin that should not theoretically appear on the face of the beast.
