Siren Blade

Chapter 95 Prologue
I rearranged my thoughts.Let's think about what Qiao Licao said just now, and then see where the problem lies.

She said: Joann ran away from home because Joann became a succubus.

Isn't this a problem everywhere?I don't even know where to start asking.

And speaking of "succubus", it should mean the same race as the succubus I fought with before, right?Usually appearing in the image of a beautiful woman, it can charm men and make them obey them, and sometimes sneak into men's dreams to extract energy. It is a kind of demon that specializes in inciting desires.

But Joan is a human being and a male, so no matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with the word succubus.

"Let me just make sure, are you kidding me?" I asked Joe Licorice across the phone.

She said firmly: "I'm really not kidding, Joan has really become a succubus."

Although she would occasionally say some indecent words, she should not joke with me in this tone, especially when it comes to her younger brother.As for this kind of unbelievable thing, I decided to follow the practice taught to me by the siren in the past, "Well, let's just assume that Joan really became a succubus."

"Okay, suppose." She seemed to be nodding.

I started asking, "Why did he become a succubus?"

With one question after another, Qiao Licorice revealed what he knew.

First of all, she didn't know why Joan became a succubus.

Although she asked Joan after he became a succubus, Joan showed a little embarrassment during the conversation.Seeing this, she unexpectedly changed the subject involuntarily, but she didn't ask anything.

Except for me, the only people who know that Joan has become a succubus are Qiao Licorice and Joan's parents.None of them disclosed this matter to others, because Joan didn't seem to want others to know.Originally, Qiao Gancao should have reported this matter to the Security Bureau, but in the end he still didn't do so.So did Joann's parents.

Judging from this abnormal situation, assuming that Joan really became a succubus, then they should have been influenced by the power of charm, and then they made a decision that went against rationality.

And now, perhaps because Qiao An is not around, Qiao Licao can reveal the truth to me.

However, Joan didn't seem to be charmed intentionally, he seemed to be in a state where he couldn't turn off the charm.

According to Qiao Licorice, Joan turned into a succubus a week ago, probably shortly after attending the hunter's funeral.But the symptoms had already happened two weeks ago. In her words, Joan seemed to be looking better than usual during that time, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time, and later realized that something was wrong.Of course, it is really difficult for her to deduce from the vague details that this is a sign of succubi.It wasn't until a week ago that Qiao An showed a more obvious change. It didn't mean that she became a woman, but that she became more like a succubus.

I have heard of girl succubus from time to time, but this is the first time I have encountered a young succubus.

The succubus in the true sense is a spirit body, Joan should have been mixed with the succubus factor due to some accident, and turned into a form like a mixed-blood succubus.There was no succubus blood in his family's ancestors, Qiao Licao could be sure of this.So, where did he get the succubus factor?

I continued to ask if something had happened two weeks ago, and Joe Licorice was lost in thought.

"Nothing in particular happened..." As she spoke, she suddenly remembered, "By the way, Joan went to Bairi Town at that time."

I wondered, "Why did he go to Bairi Town?"

"I'm not very clear either. He went there twice after the Fog Incident in White Day Town. I asked him, but he just vaguely said what he was looking for there, but didn't specify." Her tone was also very puzzled.

What is Joan looking for in Bairi Town?Although I am puzzled, I am not clueless.

I recalled what happened during the Fog event in Daytown.During that time, we rescued a girl from the hideout of two evil survivors.Because girls have an extremely strong fear and psychological shadow of adult men like me, so I had to hand over the communication work to Joan.

Joan was at a loss at first, but after I asked him to, he tried his best to take care of the girl.But then the girl pushed Joan away and disappeared into the mist.Instead of blaming the girl's "ignorance" afterwards, Qiao An felt guilty about her lack of ability.He even looked for girls in the mist regardless of his own safety, obviously there are so many demons in the mist.

Could it be that the reason why he went to Bairi Town recently was because he wanted to find that girl again?

But he should know that the girl's chances of survival are extremely slim.Besides, I also told him about the ending of that girl after the mist incident.At that time, I packaged the source of the information as "the succubus said it in the battle", and conveyed to him that "that girl is actually the succubus from the past".

Is there any reason for him to go to White Day Town?And, is there any connection between his becoming a succubus and his going to Bairi Town?The succubus in the past died in Bairi Town, so it's hard not to doubt it.

As I thought about it, I said, "Anyway, the matter of Joan turning into a succubus must be resolved first..."

Qiao Licao asked suspiciously: "Why do you want to solve it?"

This question is really strange, I asked back: "Don't you want your brother to change back to the original?"

"But my younger brother has become a succubus!" she said excitedly.

There must be something wrong with this woman's brain.I said patiently: "Although I don't know the reason why he became a succubus, but a succubus is also a demon. Is it okay for your brother to become a demon?"

"Well, it's also..." Her emotions finally cooled down.

"You don't seem to be in the right state, is it because of the influence of the charm force?" I asked.Although she does this occasionally, her current reaction is obviously abnormal.Normally, she would care more about her younger brother, but now she seems to focus more on her own desires.

I then asked: "I have another question, why did Joann run away from home?"

"I don't know about this, but the only reason I can think of is that he became a succubus. He doesn't seem to be able to control his own charm power very well, maybe he is worried that it will affect us." She sighed, He asked again, "Li Duo, you fought the succubus last time, did she use charm on you?"

"I tried it, but it didn't work," I said.

"Why?" she asked.I answer truthfully.She was speechless at first, and then continued, "Anyway, since the charm doesn't work for you, can I ask you to find Joan for me? Joan may be deliberately avoiding me and my parents. And as you can see , now I may not be very suitable to be close to Joan."

"It's okay to help, but I don't know where Joan is," I said.

"It's okay, I know." She said confidently, "Although he left the security bureau's positioning bracelet at home, I secretly set up other tracking devices on him...I mean the positioning method, I can find him wherever he is!"

"You did this to your brother?" I wanted to be surprised, but sadly found myself getting used to it.

She plausibly said: "What is 'this kind of thing'? It's protection! You see, he also ran away from home last time, and was involved in the incident in Bairi Town. I did it all to protect him, It's my right as a big sister... no, it's my responsibility!"

Even if you say that, I can only feel suspicious. Have you really never shot Joan?I couldn't help but slander, and then said: "Since you know where Joan is, you asked me if Joan is with me?"

"Because I only know Joan's location, not yours." She said, "Would you like to help? I'll treat you to a steak later!"

Qingniao also said this to me, could it be that Qingniao was often invited to eat steak by Joe Licorice in the past... I think it should be.

"Thank you. I will mark the approximate location on the map software and share it with you." Qiao Gancao said sincerely, "I will leave my brother to you."

Not long after the call ended, she sent her location information to my phone.I followed the information to where Joan was.On the way, I encountered a small accident, but this accident has nothing to do with the current matter, so I will postpone it.Time entered the evening, I held an umbrella and continued to move forward.Instead of weakening, the rain became heavier, and the sound of raindrops falling on the ground was even louder.

After arriving at the target location, I finally found Joan under a stone bridge.

At this time, he was sitting silently under the bridge hole with his knees hugged like a stray cat sheltering from the rain, his hair was wet, and he was still wearing a soaked white shirt.At first glance, he looks like an ordinary boy, but I can see that, just as Qiao Licao said, a succubus-like change has taken place in him.Gray curly horns sprout from his head, while behind him are miniature bat wings and a slender tail that ends in a teardrop.

Miraculously, the clothing he was wearing didn't block the spread of his wings and tail.According to my observation, these wonderful physical features of his are all spiritual bodies, and the roots of the wings and tail are not really connected to the body, but are suspended behind with a slight difference.His wings seemed to show his master's mood, and they were fluttering listlessly at the moment, with a symbolic movement from time to time.

The succubus I fought in the past did not have these physical characteristics, because she hated her physical characteristics as a succubus, so she tried to hide it.

I felt a subtle and special spiritual fluctuation coming from Joan, which was almost the same in attribute as the spiritual fluctuation when the succubus charmed me in the past.It seems that he has really become a succubus, and even at this time, he is still exuding charm power, which shows that his power is in a mild runaway state.

If I was a few days ago, I might still be a little "scared" of Joan, but now I have used time to completely get rid of the bad influence of the intermediary's memory on myself, so I can face it calmly.

Having said that, Joan has become a succubus after all, and I still need to have basic vigilance.After I was mentally prepared, I walked over with an umbrella and made a voice there, "Joan, what are you doing here?"

He looked up nervously.Seeing that it was me, he seemed a little scared, he quickly got up from the ground, turned around and was about to run in the opposite direction.But at his speed it was impossible to escape.He only took half a step, and I was already in front of him.

"I've heard from your sister that you've become a succubus," I said. "Why did you run away from home? Is it because you can't control the succubus?"

"You..." He looked at me anxiously, "You will also be influenced by me."

"Don't worry, I won't be charmed by you." I promised, "Remember that succubus from before? She also tried to charm me, but it didn't work for me."

"Really?" he asked uneasily.

"Really." I observed his behavior, he seemed to be the same Joan as before, "Otherwise, how do you think I defeated her?"

Seeing me say this, he no longer tries to escape, but he seems not very relieved of me.I tried to persuade him to go back, but he shook his head vigorously, instead walked to the place just now and sat back, hugging his knees without saying a word.

I put away my umbrella and sat down next to him.He seemed to want to distance himself a bit, but held back.

I probably understand what his concerns are.He was afraid that I was "interested" in him, that's why he wanted to run away just now.As for why he is afraid of that kind of thing, it may not only be because he is a succubus now, but also because he has seen some of my thoughts with magic in the past.Thinking of this, I took the initiative to say: "Recently you seem to be avoiding me, why?"

He whispered: "You should know the reason..."

"Is it because you saw my thoughts at the time with the spell?" Concealing it will only make you look wretched, so I simply said it openly, "Although I don't know exactly what you saw, but it's not me The idea, but the memory of an intermediary that I obtained by some means in the past. At that time, I thought I shouldn’t let you see that kind of thing, but instead let you see it. For that matter, I must apologize to you. I’m sorry.”

He half-believingly said: "This, so..."

"Why did you become a succubus?" I tried to use my unfavorable kindness as much as possible, "You don't seem to want to tell your sister the truth."

"No, I was going to tell her the truth, but..." He didn't seem to know how to say it for a moment, showing troubled emotions.

"So, can you tell me?" I asked.

He glanced at me, nodded, and recounted his experience.

The reason why he turned into a succubus is indeed closely related to his going to White Day Town.

And his motive for going to White Day Town is just as I expected, to miss the girl who disappeared in the mist.He felt ashamed that he hadn't been able to hold the girl's hand in the first place, and he was bitter about it.

If he had any special feelings for that girl, of course he wouldn't.However, he often wondered if he could change some things if his strength was stronger.For example, if I hadn't been pushed away by the girl, or if I had reacted faster after being pushed away and held the girl's hand again, wouldn't the girl disappear into the mist, wouldn't she become The succubus, and even, wouldn't there be the murderous fog that destroyed Baitian Town.

"Maybe it all stemmed from my failure to hold her hand..." Joan sighed.

Is your statement too self-aware?I can't help but think so.But it's also normal for a 13-year-old boy to have a lot of self-consciousness.I also had a little bit of self-consciousness when I was 13.

"She should have time traveled to the past, and you won't be able to find her again," I said.

"I didn't expect much," he said, "but I found her in Daylight Town."
