The Melaleuca Routine of Dominating the Devil

Regardless of whether there is a conjurer involved or not, the public security must not sit idly by on such a large-scale abnormal event.Maqima contacted several other members of Lesson [-].Except for Himeno Hayakawa Akigumi who was just sent out, Arai and Kurose went to Kyoto, and the spider demon is still on the mission of finding the chainsaw man.After counting and counting, only Dongshan Xiaohong and Fu Heisher are left.

Considering that there might be a few old enemies who had been beaten badly at the scene (whether Xia Youjie is there, the white-haired magician is probably also nearby), there is a high probability that Fu Hei will not be able to participate in this operation.When asked about Dongshan Xiaohong, the girl who had never had any impression of Maqima immediately turned pale.

"Ugh—! It's scary!! What is this!!!"

She screamed and threw the phone out, and the next second she rushed to catch it at the speed of light. "Ah my phone!"

Machima: "..." The fourth class must recruit new members as soon as possible.

"Those demons look really scary, they can eat people, they will definitely eat people..."

Dongshan Xiaohong wiped the dust off her phone, and carefully glanced at the pink-haired woman. "Miss Macchima, well, I can ask for a temporary..."

"No, Dongshan must participate."

"Woooooooo..."

The members of each class of the Magic Special Class are sent out very frequently, and it is also common to send people to each other when there are not enough people.After that, Maqima went to ask the stationed personnel of the second section, and Kusakabe, who had had a drink with them, responded readily and was willing to cooperate to complete the task.

Kusakabe is an experienced demon hunter who made a contract with the Stone Demon.The addition of such an iron-blooded man immediately stabilized Dongshan Xiaohong, who was on the verge of instability. "Isn't this...the balloon with a human head that has been dealt with before?" After seeing the photo, Kusakabe pushed his glasses. "I remember that it was disposed of some time ago, why did it pop up again?"

"Some time ago?"

"Before you went to Binseong, there was a 'head balloon' in Yokohama. Boy, even the mafia didn't cause such a big panic, the local residents were frightened like crazy... You didn't see the station being overwhelmed look."

Kusakabe still remembers what happened two months ago. "...Later, I let the first class solve it. But it was also because of the shortage of manpower. In the last class, I had to ask the familiar folk hunters for help. It took a lot of effort to clean up those balloon monsters."

"Well, I don't know the details, but at the time it was said that the mission was successful, and there was no further news from the Kanagawa Police Station... The matter should have ended." Kusakabe stared at the photo with some hesitation, and Machima helped him Keep talking. "But the same anomaly reappeared in Odawara City."

When he mentioned this, Machima also recalled the anomalous case in Kanagawa that had been rejected.After going around and around, this task returned to her desk, and it seemed that a trip to Kanagawa was a certain reality.Pointing her finger on the screen, she asked Dongshan Xiaohong who was back to work. "Has the publisher's information been traced, and where exactly?"

"Yes, in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, according to the ip of the publisher, he should be a high school student living near Kaicho High School."

Dongshan Xiaohong quickly called up the information of Odawara City. In the huge search engine, some help posts about "hot air balloons appeared in Odawara" appeared on the Internet one after another. "The abnormality was first discovered at around 6 o'clock this morning. Some people have witnessed these monsters taking away local residents and dying."

"Arrange people to block the news, and we will set off in 10 minutes."

In this way, the abnormal situation in Kanagawa has lasted for nearly four hours.It is estimated that many more residents who did not know their status were killed or injured during this period.The situation is urgent and they must act now. "If you can find the personal information of the person who asked for help, remember to keep a copy and ask them to stay indoors as much as possible and not have direct contact with those balloons."

"Yes!"

……

After boarding the limited express train from Tokyo to Odawara City, Makima left a phone message for Fukuro and began to read the report of the previous lesson.Those "head balloons" floating in the air - let's call them that, it is said that they are named because they look like human heads up close.The photos taken by the demon hunter are naturally much clearer than those taken by the scared local residents.In the urban area of ​​Yokohama in the photo, there are countless human head balloons floating in the air with the wind, and the flying black hair is dancing, and there is an indescribable sense of terror.

Most of the photos are taken from the bottom-up perspective.In one of the photos, a balloon with a human head floated very close, and the rope underneath was wobbly, chasing after it like a ghost.Maqima could clearly see that there was a hint of a successful sneer on that dead white and gloomy human face.

"This is the last photo that the demon hunter took before his death."

"Where's his contract demon? Doesn't it work at all?"

"It seems that all the demon hunters present have been banned by their superiors from attacking balloons." Dongshan Xiaohong was also reading her report, "Because the attack on the balloon will eventually backfire on the person who looks the same as the balloon ...the first demon hunter to die was eaten by his own demons."

"The demon hunter who took this photo was found hanging upside down from a tree." Kusakabe handed Machima the autopsy report in his hand.Because it was one of the few dead who preserved a complete body in the incident, the forensic doctor's identification was also written in detail: the demon hunter died of suffocation. "He got the damned

The balloon was wrapped around the neck, and it flew for several kilometers, until it was stopped by a tree..."

A dead demon hunter with the same face as the head balloon that hung him alive.

Due to the different places of death, the dead were only discovered by local residents because of the rotting stench caused by the hot climate.

The following text has no direct connection with the head balloon case. Mazima closed the report and stopped reading that cold, objective and sad report. "A complete tragedy."

"However, this also shows one thing - the Kanagawa-Yokohama case two months ago ended in failure. The demon-killing team formed by Yike and folk demon hunters did not eliminate the 'head balloon' at all."

The phone in hand was buzzing, Maqima glanced at it, it was Fuheshier.

She pressed the mute button, and there was a reminder of a new email in the next second.

"From: Shier

I will come over. "

Mazima closed the phone and continued as if nothing happened. "Comparing the number of balloons in the before and after photos, you will know. The balloons disappeared voluntarily, rather than being driven away by hunters."

"No wonder they were so ambiguous in the report. People who didn't hear a lesson later claimed credit for it because they were guilty!" Kusakabe frowned.Dongshan Xiaohong hurriedly "shh—" to make him whisper.He quickly suppressed his voice and looked around at the passengers on the train.Most of them looked calm, and it seemed that no one had noticed the news of Odawara City.

"Miss Machima, what should we do to deal with this kind of monster that can't be beaten?"

"There is a method of restriction, but if it is to be completely eliminated..."

Crossing her fingers, Machima watched the scenery fly by outside the window.The smooth running of the train still caused a slight tinnitus, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the person in the high school of conjuration/uniform in that photo.

According to the usual style of conjurers, when they do tasks, they usually lower the enchantment called "tent" to block the sight of ordinary people.Xia Youjie, who is a super conjurer, obviously didn't do this.Why is he on the scene?Wasn't his inseparable best friend not here?Is there any way for the conjurer to get rid of those human head balloons?

And who is the "third contractor" that the future devil said?

……

Kise Ryota is very scared now.It was more scary than losing three games in a row and seeing Captain Kasamatsu's iron fist.

The curtains have been drawn heavily, but under the high sunlight, the huge shadows printed on the thick curtains are still so clear.After just one glance, he closed his eyes tightly.However, the knocking sound of the glass window was slow and powerful, like a sharp little hammer knocking into the heart coldly.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Please, disappear quickly, disappear quickly..." Kise Ryota covered his ears. "This is...the second floor..."

"Hurry up and open the window, it's too cold~"

The shadows outside were still tapping on the window. "Come out and play with me~"

"I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear..."

The boy almost buried his head in the ground.Because of extreme fear, this young man who is close to 1.9 meters squeezed himself into the gap under the desk. "Don't come here, don't come here... monster... woo..."

"What are you talking about, Ryota. I am you, and you are me~"

It's right.Before closing the curtains, Kise Ryota had looked at that "thing".The same hair color, the same face, and even the earrings on one side of the ear are the same.And now, the monster was still speaking softly, using the same voice as his. "Hurry up and open the window, don't keep everyone waiting~"

"..."

It is impossible to open the window, absolutely impossible.

Although his spirit has been pushed to the limit by the monster, Kise Ryota has not forgotten the tragedy he saw before.The Nakamura family, who led the house, were hung around their necks by huge human-head balloons one after another. Even Yosuke, who rushed out with an umbrella, was caught by the human-head balloon and the rope was wrapped around his neck.

The lively young man who used to talk and laugh with him turned into a dead man with tongue out and eyes rolling.Thinking of the bizarre scene of the balloon hanging the dead body away, Kise had the urge to collapse and shout.

"When will I be rescued...Little Heizi!!!"

"I'm sorry, Kise-kun... I understand your feelings. But I want to confirm again, did you really ask for help on the public security forum?"

"Are you going to confirm this with me when things are coming to an end? Of course I did, and there were replies...but it's been almost four hours, and I haven't seen any so-called 'demon hunters' come to rescue me yet. !!"

The hands are full of cold sweat.Kise Ryota switched hands to hold the phone.He tried his best to show that he was stable, but his trembling voice still revealed that he was almost paralyzed by fright. "Are you sure... there will be a demon hunter from the police?"

"Well, I'm sure."

No matter what time it is, Kuroko Tetsuya's voice is so soothing. "According to my understanding, Ms. Makima in Tokyo will definitely not stand by. She will definitely go to Kanagawa to save people."

"With such a respectful tone, I didn't know that I thought Xiao Heizi had a crush on him, hahaha..."

Kise Ryota laughed a few times, trying to redeem his little dignity from his former teammates. "So what kind of god is the Miss Machima you are talking about..."

"Well, he's... very powerful."

The human-headed balloon demon outside the window continued to mutter. "Hurry up and open the window, Ryota, isn't it lonely to be alone in the room..."

"Although it's hard to articulate in a few words, Ms. Macchima is the most secure senior I've ever met," said Hei Zizhe. "It will be the type that Kise-kun likes very much."

"Ha, haha... why do you still have the heart to talk about whether you like it or not? Even when Nao Ou comes, I feel at peace..."

"By the way, in order to prevent Ryo from being too lonely, I have recruited some of your good teammates!" The devil's shout of sudden excitement made Kise Ryota stop. "Captain Kasamatsu, Moriyama-senpai, Kobori-senpai...they are all by my side! Everyone is looking for you, Ryota!"

"—Don't open the window, Kise-kun!"

Originally, there was only one huge shadow of a human head on the curtain, but it turned into several at some point.Could it be them?Have everyone in Haichang been caught by monsters? !

"How long are you going to dawdle, Ryota!"

——This time it was the voice of Captain Kasamatsu.

Kise Ryota gritted his teeth, controlled the fear gushing out from the bottom of his heart, he crawled out from under the desk, and opened the thick curtains with a "shua" sound!

The dazzling sunlight entered the room in an instant, the boy narrowed his eyes, and subconsciously put his arms in front of him, trying to hide his fear and trembling that had nowhere to escape.A row of familiar faces is just outside the window, and the faces on each head balloon are filled with bright smiles.It seemed that this was a normal day, and everyone in the Haichang basketball club was about to gather for training.

"Why don't you open the window, Ryota~?"

Why not accept reality?

When the horror reaches the extreme, it seems that accepting it completely has become a helpless thing.With trembling fingers, Kise Ryota hit the window latch.

At the same time, a black figure nimbly jumped onto the roof!

Pushing away the balloons with human heads that were about to press their faces to the glass, the pink-haired woman in a suit pressed her hand against the window, interrupting the movement of the boy inside the window. "Don't give up, Kise-kun."

she said with a smile. "It's all right."
