[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the white fox stretched out its paw and waved it twice in the air.

The square barrier trembled twice in the air, shrunk to the size of a palm in an instant as if stripped from the air, and then was rubbed into the palm of the hand by the white fox and disappeared.

"Let's go." It took a step.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

This is impossible, the first time we met was to get rid of the demon, and it wasn't at the most critical moment...

"The commission I received only explained the race of the missing flower demon and information about a small number of suspects." Natori pushed his glasses on Monday, "The client said that more information will be provided by you."

"Yes. The spirit world has been investigated in advance." The white fox flicked its tail, "There is no big monster here."

"The entrustment grade is A."

"Ah, it's because you saw it too." The white fox moved its ears and pointed the tip of its tail in the direction of King Ni. "That kid over there is a complete novice."

Natori Monday: "...that's why I said, minors..."

"There is always a first time for a person." The white fox turned his head, "Natori-san, please find someone."

Natori looked at the bright yellow eyes of the white fox on Monday, and raised his eyebrows.He took out the items he had received when he received the commission and the paper doll he had prepared.

"Looking for objects."

"This way."

A few minutes later they found a laboratory-like place deep in the forest.

There is only one exposed entrance, but after waiting for a while, you will find that the defense area is not small.

Natori withdrew the formation on Monday.

"There are two more entrances at the back," he said.

"Then how about acting separately?" the white fox said.

"but……"

"Meet directly inside, it's best if we can meet."

Niwang has not spoken.

He watched as things unfolded.

From the reconciliation, to the final dispersal.

"Since we have to leave separately, why did we wait for everyone to arrive?" he asked.

The white fox walked ahead of him: "You know, there are always things to do on the scene. This is an official cooperation project."

"Puri."

"You are a civil servant in the spirit world, let me know more about it."

"...You didn't give me a chance to understand." King Ni complained.

The white fox thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case.Of course, he wouldn't feel guilty, so he just prevaricated: "You didn't ask."

Nioh: ...

No, I obviously complained many times.

He was about to say something more, when an inexplicable sense of crisis made him squat down and roll around.

A stone hit the place where he was standing just now. He raised his head, and a monster with a bull's nose and horns was rushing towards him holding a wooden fork.

What biological change is this?

Cow or sheep?Or a hybrid?

While thinking wildly, he rolled two more times, and jumped up again with one hand on the ground, but he was already holding the racket and tennis ball in his hand.This was his only means of attack, and it gradually became a conditioned reflex.

And when you pay attention to speed, you don't need to think about what tricks to use.

It is very simple toss the ball and hit the ball.

Snapped!

The first ball hit the bull-nosed monster's nose, and the second ball hit his horn.

At the same time that the horn was broken, the monster wailed and fell to the ground.

This is?

King Ni hesitated for a moment, and a beam of light passed through the monster's body right in front of him.

There was no whine, just like the decomposition of molecules, the disheveled monster just disappeared.

No blood, but creepy.

King Ren turned his head and saw the white fox retracting its claws.

"……Hey."

"I'll give you a demonstration. Your strength is too weak, boy." White Fox said.

King Ren frowned: "This..."

"Let's go." The white fox ignored him and walked forward.

In the wilderness and around the inexplicably desolate "laboratory", King Ni couldn't stay where he was alone.He gritted his teeth and followed.

Soon they found an entrance at the back of the lab.

"Flower demon." Nioh, who carefully followed the white fox into the laboratory from the entrance, raised his vigilance and asked softly, "Flower demon, is there anything special about it?"

"Ok?"

"This kind of laboratory in the wilderness is very similar to the human experiment in the movie." King Ni said, "It is not necessarily a monster who kidnaps a monster."

"Flower demons are indeed a very special group." White Fox explained, "In the ancient group of monsters, flower demons always have special auxiliary powers, such as healing, or spell-breaking. For example, the legendary big monster Yingcao, It is a monster with both powerful attack power and powerful healing ability. The legendary peach blossom demon even has the power of "resurrection". However, these monster groups rarely appeared 500 years ago. In the human world There has always been a rule that monsters below the B level cannot enter the human world, so it is usually said that the big monsters of the flower monsters such as Yingcao, Peach Blossom Demon and Cherry Blossom Demon live in the Demon Realm. But there are also small monsters who are alone Maybe."

"Then what about the monster in distress this time? What kind of flower is it?"

"A lot. The first one who disappeared was the iris flower demon, and then the dodder." The white fox suddenly stopped, "The story will be told later."

Niwang raised his head.

He looked at the horse-faced monster that appeared again.

"Did you just say that monsters below B rank cannot appear in the human world?"

"The rules are right. But 12 years ago, the barrier between the demon world and the human world was broken, so now it is not as difficult to enter the human world from the entrance of the demon world." The white fox said, "Oh yes, The one you defeated just now wasn’t even a level-worthy youkai. The one in front of you is the same.”

"Even if it's not a B, there should be a C or a D, right?"

"Don't think about it, this is the little boy."

Little boy?

Indeed, it only takes two, or even a tennis ball, to knock it down.

From the perspective of monsters, this is indeed too weak.

Such a place that looks heavily guarded, why...

Nioh put his hand on his chest.There is also a guardian in there.

Is it related to this?

Monsters can't get close... and this range is also included?

Another dot of light flashed in front of him.

Nioh watched the horse-faced monster disappear before his eyes.He frowned, wanted to say something but didn't.

"Let's go, this way." The white fox urged.

They walked along the "Institute" road for a while and turned two corners.On the way, I encountered monsters similar to daily patrols, most of which were of the level of "little minions" in the mouth of the white fox.

Renwang walked all the way, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

how can that be possible?

So much fanfare...and only some little monsters in the end?

He turned another corner, and a door appeared in front of him.

... so suspicious?

He looked down at the white fox leading the way.

The white fox had a lazy expression on his face: "Go in and have a look."

"What the hell are you trying to..."

The moment Niwang raised his hand and opened the door, he was stunned.

chill.

The cold air similar to that of a refrigerator came from the crack in the door, and the ominous spiritual power made him almost want to back off.But just one slit was enough, he had seen—

In places like operating tables and laboratories, the colors look a little weird, and various reagents are lined up in a row.

This is……?

He hardly needed to open the door to have the association, but he pushed the door anyway hoping the imagination hadn't been confirmed.

But it's too obvious, and there's no room for change in what's been obvious from the start.

In front of him, a clean "operating table" and test bench, as well as a large "plant" soaked in an unknown solution in a large container that looks like a science and technology movie next to it.

No, that is the flower demon, right?

Not a plant.

Are they still alive?

From the surface, it even looks a bit like a biochemistry laboratory, but the things and scenes inside, and the faint breath of spiritual power that makes the heart feel cold.

"Found it." The white fox said in a sticky tone, "The missing flower demon."

"...you already knew?"

"As I said, the spirit world has already done basic investigation work."

"Then why not..."

"Where did you go?" The white fox glanced at him. "They are still alive, and soaking in the solution is good for them."

Nioh: "..."

"Let you take a look. I just want to explain the cause, effect and purpose of the whole thing by the way. It's also on the way. As for our destination, it's in another place." White Fox said, squinting his eyes.

Can the white fox really believe what he said?

"What are you thinking?"

They left that room again.

The white fox vowed that these are indeed all right, or it is better for them to stay in that container than "take it out".King Ren couldn't find any arguments to refute, so he could only half-believe and close the door again under the instructions of the white fox.

Now they changed directions, walking like a pathfinding process in a game.

King Ren didn't answer what the white fox said, but the white fox had already talked on his own.

"Are you doubting what I said? It's so sad, I'm you, don't you even believe yourself?"

"...Yes." King Ni nodded, "For 'me', telling the truth is a small probability event?"

"Perhaps you are right, but you have no room to refuse now, right?" The white fox laughed. "At least here, it is safer to listen to me than not to listen to me."

……Safety?

So this kind of situation where you can only encounter little monsters is really your fault.

Nioh thought.
