Next to the park's artificial lake, which has changed its landscape.

Li Wu first went to check on the two people who were attacked by Jack's pumpkin.

Because they consciously moved the battlefield to another place, they were not affected much, and they did not suffer secondary damage except for a layer of dust on their bodies.

The girl of the [Intelligence Strong] just fainted, and Teraya Mahiro was still alive although he looked like he had shed a lot of blood at first glance.

He even briefly sobered up as Li Wu approached, and then asked him to pull out some kind of fog-absorbing thing from the pocket of his student uniform.

After leaning in and taking a few puffs, he was able to stand up strongly.

"You're really prepared."

Li Wu admired this style of carrying healing medicine at any time during the study trip.

"Thanks to the technology of the Teraya family."

The ninja, who didn't care at all about using modern technology, pressed on his wounds, and a look of pain appeared on his poker face.

According to him, they were also attacked suddenly, and although he reacted at the last minute, he was still no match for the Pumpkin.

"He didn't kill us, he dragged us to the lawn and scattered thin lines of flames around us."

Teraya's Mahiro recalled.

It's like a trap has been planned for a long time.

But the question is, who is this trap against? Did Jack Pumpkin already anticipate the presence of supernatural powers among the students who came to the Courage Test?

Li Wu picked up the girl who was still unconscious, and dragged the wounded to move in the direction of the boy who threw the flying seat.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to control the power, so he could only say that he hoped that the demon was okay.

Maybe Zashiki Boy had scared away a lot of people before he met them, and it was clear that the noise caused by the battle was not small, but by now about fifteen minutes had passed, and no one had arrived at the scene.

After walking some distance, next to a park trail on the outside of the woods, he saw the Zashiki boy buried headfirst in the garbage can.

Li Wu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her out.

The little monster stared at him blankly, tears running through the corners of his eyes.

"Hurry up with power."

Li Wu turned his head.

Fortunately, the arrival of the other two people broke the awkward situation, and Hoshikawa Aoi and Airisa ran from the other end of the trail.

"Li Wu, is the battle over?"

Hoshikawa Aoi pressed her hand to her chest, and she was already in a posture of transforming without saying a word.

"Beat up a guy who can lie like Yuichi Uehara, what about the others?"

"I heard an explosion, so I told them to go back first, but Arisa insisted on following, and we came together."

"Well, did you get hurt somewhere?"

Arisa asked worriedly.

"If you want to say that it hurts, it's just that you have a lot of pumpkin juice on your hands, which is a little disgusting."

"Huh?"

Li Wu looked at Zashiki Boy: "By the way, do you know anything about the guy with the pumpkin head you said - the guy who attacked these two people, and the king who came to this island together?" ”

"Is there a monster behind it?"

Teraya Mahiro said a little weakly.

"Well, and it's a creature under the Celtic mythological worldview, I doubt ......"

He stopped talking.

Thinking about it carefully, this study trip to Longdu Island was originally suspicious.

Generally speaking, do you deliberately choose such a distant place as a destination for a school trip?

According to information from the giant Mercury, he moved from his hometown to Niigata after the start of the Industrial Revolution.

Since the king in Zashiki's mouth also crossed the sea from a certain island a long time ago, can it be inferred that the king actually belongs to the same worldview, and this island is the place where these mythical creatures first landed?

"The monster I killed said before he died that his goal had not been achieved, and he had set a trap in advance."

Li Wu looked at the vampire girl who was circling around him to see if there was any injury.

Could it be that like the enemies he met in Chiyo City before, Jack Pumpkin's real target is actually Arisa, and even further speculate that the real master messenger behind this school trip is secretly planning to bring her to this island?

There wasn't enough chain of evidence to support such an inference, but after encountering a number of otherworldly events, Li Wu had learned to use intuition instead of logical reasoning.

Because the rule that "the same worldview attracts each other" is unreasonable, if you keep encountering youkai, it's best to assume that there is a lord of the night of a hundred ghosts behind it, and the same is true for the current situation.

On the other side, the Zashiki boy, who was thinking hard, suddenly screamed.

"I thought of it! I have heard from the fairies in the forests on the south side of the island that the king seems to have been entertaining a distinguished guest lately. ”

"What about other than that?"

"No ......"

The little monster lowered his head a little.

There is no new information other than the fact that the opponent's combat power may have increased temporarily.

"I don't understand what's going on, but that means there's a bad guy on the island who will send his men to attack people, right?"

Hoshikawa Aoi summed up what she heard in her mode of thinking.

She said conclusively: "That's simple, when everyone returns from the school trip, Li Wu and I will stay and kill it, won't it?" ”

"It's a simple and crude Hoshikawa approach, but it might work."

Li Wu thought about it for a moment and found that this seemingly flawed plan was unexpectedly quite useful.

If it weren't for the fact that he was battling the air, then perhaps this king was the mastermind behind the werewolves and leprechauns who sent Osorri to Chiyo in the past, or at least had some kind of purpose for the students of Inaba High School.

In this case, then do the opposite, wait until everyone rolls up and go home, if it can't help but jump out to interfere, take the opportunity to solve it, if they are still holding back, they can also slowly deal with the king on the island.

“…… But how do you go back then? ”

It occurred to him that question.

"It's okay! Just stay here for a few months with no problem! This is a necessary sacrifice for the sake of justice! ”

"Your selfishness overflowed."

Considering that there were still two injured and unconscious people, they did not stay where they were for long, and Zashiki first said that he wanted to go back to the shrine, and he disappeared after burrowing into the bushes on the side of the road.

When I walked to the entrance of the park, Mr. Yamaga was still playing with his mobile phone leisurely.

Seeing the two people who were being supported and carried by Li Wu, she hurriedly stood up: "What's wrong?" There was also a large group of people just now, shouting that there were really ghosts running out. Her expression turned to horror, "You won't really encounter paranormal events, will you?" ”

"They just fell down while climbing a small dirt slope in the park."

Li Wu handed them over to the teacher, who took them to the local hospital.

"That's probably my guess, but there's no plausible evidence."

The remaining three were walking back to the hotel, and the street lamps stretched out the shadows very long.

Li Wu told the two girls his conjecture.

"Hmm...... So it's the same, right? ”

Hoshikawa Aoi still insisted on her original opinion, "If it's for Airisa, you should wait for them to go back first, right?" ”

"No way!"

Driven by some emotion, Airisa, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, denied, but she quickly lost the courage to continue speaking, "No, I'm sorry, it's Airisa who is too willful." ”

Li Wu looked at her clenched fists involuntarily: "There are still two days left, don't think so much about Arisa." At the end of the day, it's just my guess. ”

"Hmm......" The girl reluctantly raised her brown pupils and nodded.

As if remembering something, she asked, "But what is the king's guest of honor that Zashiki is referring to?" I've always felt like I'm concerned about that. ”

No one could answer her.

In May, the wind gusts blow from northeast to southwest.

If the words can be swept away by the wind, then the question will be carried to the Qinpo Caves, located at the southernmost tip of the island.

There is a blue hole landform, the mysterious Dragon King Cave.

The largest lava cave in Longdu has a deep space that has never been set foot by tourists.

Beneath the stone pillars on the roof of the cave stood two figures, one tall and one short.

"Poor old Jack, just like that."

The short man sighed.

"It doesn't have enough power."

The tall man replied coldly.

"Are you getting cold-blooded, my good friend? Is this also the effect of implanting treasures? ”

The short figure let out a delicious laugh, "Then I can only trouble you to bring the little girl here." ”

He withdrew his gaze from his friend, and looked obsessively at the object on the stone platform in front of him.

It exuded an ominous aura, resembling a white scale, but half of it was missing, and red blood flowed from the fracture into the sea behind the stone platform.
