"Wow~!"

Dressed in red and looking like a child, the boy sat cross-legged on the lawn and cried loudly.

So much so that the four students of Inaba High School who were standing around her looked like delinquent teenagers and girls who bullied elementary school students.

"Is this the true face of the ghost? What happened to Li Wu's performance just now? ”

Tsubasa Mizushima had an unacceptable expression on his face.

"It's not so much a ghost as a youkai. As for other questions, I'll forget about it if I explain it to Mizushima. ”

"That's right, yes, whether it's a ghost or a monster, it will fall under Brother Li Wu!"

"I still miss the original character of Uehara......"

Masaki Uehara approached the Zashiki boy like a common dog's leg in a corruption drama: "Hey! Explain your name, occupation, and what do you want to achieve by pretending to be a ghost? ”

"Uehara-san, please don't scare her!"

Although he was afraid of life, Airisa plucked up the courage to stop his actions, and then crouched down in front of Zashiki Boy: "Why are you doing such a thing? ”

Li Wu also waited for her answer, as I said before, Zashiki Boy is basically not the kind of monster who can do bad things, and it is too much to use demon power to scare people directly as a prank.

Then the reason for her abnormal behavior is worth considering.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the gentle Airisa, Zashiki stopped crying, but still looked at Li Wu in fear, sobbed and said, "I, I want to save them......"

"How can there be such a rescue method that almost scares people out of heart disease!"

Masaki Uehara couldn't help but interject.

"Wow! A bad big brother who stuffs suspicious photos in his backpack! ”

Zashiki began to cry again.

"That, that's obviously just an idol photo......"

Uehara, who had broken the defense, retreated.

"How do you want to save them?"

Hearing Li Wu's question, Zashiki boy held back his tears: "Recently, there is a terrible guy wandering here at night, and it's good that few people usually come, but after you came to the shrine where I lived today, many people have entered here." ”

"I thought I'd scare everyone away so no one would get hurt by that guy - but it was too late, the little brother was already fighting him!"

Like her appearance, Zashiki speaks like a child, slurred and incoherent, but she says she's sure she's witnessing a fight with a monster.

"Little man...... It won't be a poker-faced ninja. ”

Li Wu asked, "Do you know anything about the existence of that night wandering?" ”

Zashiki shook his head, "I just remember that it had a yellow head and a blue body, and that it came to this island with the southernmost king of the island, but it had never left the south before. ”

"Who is the king?"

King on a lonely island...... Sounds quite fantastical.

The childlike monster twitched his nose and showed a confused expression: "The king is the king, that's what he calls himself." The king came here a long time ago, before I was born, with his men from a distant island, in rectangular ships. ”

“…… Well, leave the king's affairs aside for the time being, can you take me to see the place where the fight is fought"

Li Wu took out his mobile phone and said to Zashiki Boy while dialing Hoshikawa Aoi's number.

After ending the call, he looked at Arisa: "You guys stay here first, and they will come over immediately." I'm going to look for a temple house that might be in danger. ”

"Okay, Li Wu should also pay attention to safety."

Arisa wanted to speak and stopped, but finally squeezed out such a sentence.

If it were Hoshikawa-san, I would definitely let her join the adventure like she did in Tokamachi.

Although she knows that it is out of place and can be called an ugly emotion, and she also knows that it is because she is too weak in her relationship, but the vampire girl still has difficulty in holding back the mud that is gradually overflowing in her heart.

Li Wu, who did not understand Airisa's inner thoughts, lifted the Zashiki boy and ran towards the place where she witnessed the battle taking place.

"Is it near the starting point?"

The spot Zashiki pointed out was not far from the grove where he and Airisa had originally been, next to the artificial lake inside the park.

Two figures lay on the wet lawn.

One is a girl from the [Intelligence Strong], she passed out in a coma, and there were no obvious external injuries on her body.

The other is naturally Teraya Mahiro, his condition is worse, although he can't see what specific injuries he has from a distance, but he can vaguely tell that there is a puddle of dark liquid spreading under him.

Li Wu put down the seat in his hand and wanted to approach the two people on the ground.

Just before he lifted his foot and fell, a burning sensation flashed through the cranial nerve endings.

[Pure Eye]'s intuitive ability is activated.

Li Wu cautiously held still, withdrew his feet, and took a few steps back.

He plucked a weed and threw it forward.

It was as if there was an invisible boundary separating the inside and outside, and after crossing a certain distance, the blades of grass were split into pieces, and then a faint blue flame ignited, silently turning to ashes.

"Fire?"

Just after Li Wu had such a cognition.

The invisible "line" lit up.

It's like the infrared-filled secret rooms that are common in Treasure Hunt movies.

The thin blue lines are like elongated fireflies, densely distributed around the center of the two lying people, forming an area of death.

As if sure that such a mutation would distract the enemy, a tall figure quietly appeared behind Li Wu, raising the short blade in his hand and stabbing at him.

Before the Zashiki boy on the side could give a warning, he was swept farther away by the violent explosion.

She scrambled to her feet on the ground, and saw the lawn by the lake, which had been drastically altered.

The sky-high flames had not yet dissipated, with Li Wu as the center, the ground within a radius of five meters had been cut off by one layer, and only the steaming soil and the red-hot sparks of the monks hinted at what was happening.

The red flames were gathered up. The sneak attack failed, but the monster that was almost caught in the explosion stood in the dark blue line of fire, and looked at the short blade that had been melted in his hand and was still flowing with heat.

"What a vigilance! Makes me want to cut open your belly even more, sir. ”

It bowed politely like a gentleman, grinning its already closed mouth even wider.

The reason for this is because its head is a pumpkin.

It was the kind of pumpkin that Li Wu had used to load gold against the Headless Horseman.

The eyes, nose, and mouth are hollow holes that have been chiseled open, and from them glows orange.

What is more ridiculous is that there is a crooked pointed hat hanging above the pumpkin's head, it has no lower limbs, the part of its body is covered with a blue trench coat, the outstretched hands are wearing white gloves, one hand is holding a burning lantern, and the other hand magically touches a new short blade.

Even without looking at the words on its head, Li Wu could know the identity of the enemy from this classic image.

[Jack's Pumpkin].
