I did it on purpose to provoke the village chief.

And the facts also proved that the village head really had a big problem.

The inflated mana just now was not an illusion, but real.

Although that magic power did not emanate directly from the village chief.But the appearance of the mantra was accompanied by his mood swings!

After the village head had left completely, Gojo Satoru, who had been observing secretly, jumped down from the tree.And Naoya, the Zen garden hidden in the building, also appeared faintly.

"Have you noticed the problem?" I asked, "The village chief still has the magic power just now."

Zenyuan Naoya nodded, "The mantra just now was very strong, but it didn't seem to come from a specific place, but it felt evenly distributed around.. This is very strange."

Generally speaking, mana can only exist in the world with a corresponding carrier, whether it is a mantra that carries mana, a magician who can drive mana, or a mantra born because of mana.. It's all the same, in short, they all have a specific carrier to release mana.

But the magic power released at that moment just now did not have such a carrier..

I also couldn't help but fell into thinking.

"Aoi, you provoked him just now...too impulsive." Gojo Satoru, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

I was taken aback, looked at him, and scratched my head subconsciously, "It's okay! Isn't this the strategy we discussed at the beginning?"

If Gojo Satoru and Zenyuan Naoya came forward to provoke directly, it would easily arouse the fear of the other party.

But if it was me as a woman, it would reduce the opponent's defense to a certain extent, so after the three of us discussed it, I came up with my action this time.

Why did I suddenly become too impulsive?

"I'm afraid that guy will stare at you, in case there is any danger."

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect this to be what he was worried about.

Through the sunglasses, I could feel his overly focused and serious eyes, which made me feel hot, and even felt embarrassed, especially Zenyuan Naoya frowned, looking back and forth between the two of us in doubt look up.

"That... that won't work! Don't underestimate me, okay? Although I haven't done the mission for a long time... Anyway, I am also a quasi-first-level conjurer! Even if I can't beat it, it won't happen easily." I said I had to laugh and play haha ​​to fool the past.

Although...sometimes it's quite convenient for me to run away from the injustice game, okay?

"Aoi, I'm just worried that you will get hurt because of this. This is the last thing I want to see."

The man's lips were pursed into a straight line, as if he was a little unhappy.It seems that I was too heartless, obviously the other party was worried about my personal safety with good intentions... at least I should say thank you or something.

Zenyuan Naoya noticed the slightly red ears of the black-haired girl, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. The two people in front of him were still getting along in the usual way, but he always felt that something was different.

Damn—could it be that Gojo Satoru sneaked away while he was away?

No, he can't let it go on like this, he has to regain some sense of presence in front of Aoi!

Zenyuan Naoya thought for a while, and said, "Aoi-chan, I will."

Before the three words of protecting you could be said, the white hair in front of him reached out and touched the girl's head, and smiled confidently, "It's okay, I'm the strongest... I will never let that kind of thing hurt you of a hair."

When it was over, the girl withdrew her hand in time when she was about to explode, made a movement of dusting her fingers, and said with a contemptuous smile, "After all, I am Gojo Satoru!"

"." I opened my mouth, looked at Gojo Satoru with a look of hell, and finally swallowed my complaints, and changed to "Well, then I will trouble you, Mr. Gojo."

"."

Zenyuan Naoya: Very good, let Gojo Satoru complete the pretense alone!

..

In order to gain enough sense of presence in the village (enough hatred value), I started wandering around the village before nightfall.

If you exclude the strange things in the village, it is actually a good place to relax and relax, away from the hustle and bustle, with green mountains and green waters, cicadas and birds singing in the morning, cool breeze at dusk, and stars all over the sky at night.

It's just that the building is a little more primitive.

I looked at the low, small earthen house in front of me. There was a rough water well outside the house, with ropes and wooden barrels beside it. It looked extremely primitive, without even a decent faucet.

Now that I think about it, it seems that every household is like this. They drink the stored well water instead of tap water, and they don’t even see a tap water pipe.

In the Japanese countryside, it is not surprising that well water is still preserved.But it is quite strange that the whole village does not even have a running water pipe.

Combined with the overly plain coarse linen clothes of the villagers, this place seems to be living in the last century.

etc--

last century?

I suddenly had a bold and crazy idea... Could it be here...

At this time, there was a small sound from the woods behind, like the crackling sound of people stepping on the branches. I immediately turned my head and saw a figure flashing through the woods. I was about to flee in a hurry, but I hurriedly chased after seeing this.

Although I couldn't see the opponent's face from behind, but with his figure and his strange right leg when running, I can basically tell that he is the villager named Xiuyi from yesterday!

"Stop, Mr. Shuichi!" I shouted from behind.

Hearing this, the figure really paused, but then started to run wildly again in the next moment, with a sense of guilt in it.

I became more and more sure of my guess.

..

After running for a few minutes, he realized that the sound of chasing after him disappeared, and Xiuyi's footsteps also stopped. He looked back, and there was no trace of the black-haired girl on the forest road behind.

Did you give up? .?

He breathed a sigh of relief when he got this recognition, and a trace of worry flashed in his cloudy and tired black eyes.

At least... At least I escaped this catastrophe...

He turned his head and prepared to return to that person, but when he turned around, he saw a smiling black-haired girl looking at him in front of him. He didn't know when she ran in front of him!

"Hi, Mr. Xiuyi, you really are following me!" As I spoke, I waved to the shocked old man with a smile on my face.

"you you."

Xiuyi looked at me in front of me with a relaxed and complacent expression, his expression was unpredictable, the light in his black eyes flickered on and off, and finally returned to loneliness, filled with worries like an abyss.In the end he shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You shouldn't have caught up."

To be honest, I don't quite understand it, and I also find it very strange. I always feel that Mr. Xiuyi has something to say.

And—is this old villager... worried about me?

"You shouldn't come here, you shouldn't, you really shouldn't." He mumbled the word "shouldn't" repeatedly, as if he had fallen into some kind of madness and couldn't extricate himself.

Should he come here after chasing him, or should he not come to this village?

or both..

Me: "Why shouldn't I come?"

He pulled away from his thoughts and looked at me with a complicated expression.

"You will die, none of you will escape this place alive.. No one can.. No one can escape this man-eating ghost place!"

While talking, he suddenly laughed maniacally, "Hahaha——you will all die in this place! Hahaha——"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Another Riddler?

I didn't miss the hesitant look on his face, this man must have something to tell me!

But at this moment, a thick nameless fog suddenly rose around us, enveloping us in it.

And in just a few seconds, I couldn't even see Xiuyi who was standing two meters away from me.

"Is this your fault?" I asked.

There is no response.

In the dense fog, although I couldn't see anything, my sense of smell was extremely keen to capture the smell of blood and rust.

Then there was the sound of joints being broken, one by one, in the vague mist, Xiuyi's figure gradually shattered, and from where he was standing just now, the milky white thick mist was stained with blood.

"Mr. Xiuyi? Mr. Xiuyi?"

I yelled a few more times, but there was still no response, so I had to take a few steps forward, but there was no one at the place where he was supposed to be standing.

Going forward, the blood mist became thinner, and I finally saw the scene in front of me clearly—this is the fish pond where the bones were fished out at that time!

All the skeletons that were salvaged at that time were placed on the edge of the fish pond, and they were pieced together to form a pair of human skeletons.

I looked down at the skeleton, and when I was fascinated by it, I suddenly noticed the end of the pile of bones from the corner of my eye.

The bone in the right ankle appears to have been damaged, the bone appears to have been broken and then reattached.But it still caused irreversible damage to the leg.

My intuition tells me that this is the skeleton of Mr. Xiuyi!

Just as I was fascinated by the skeleton, Gojo Satoru grabbed my elbow and pulled me up from the ground.

I?

Me: "Gojo Wu, what are you doing?"

I looked at him puzzled, the man's lips were tightly pressed down, and his aura was very depressed.

So what the hell is this guy throwing his temper at?

The man who was reprimanded by me showed a rare aggrieved expression, then covered my eyes with his hand, and whispered in my ear, "Aoi's tone just now was too fierce!"

I reflected on it, and it seemed that my attitude just now was indeed not very good.

Fine..

Me: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gojo, but can you please let me go first?"

Gojo Satoru: "But it doesn't matter, Aoi's fierce look is better than calling me Mr. Gojo with a distant face! But, Aoi, you have to see the things around you clearly!"

Then his hand moved away from my eyes, and I realized that I had walked into the fish pond without knowing when, the water had already submerged my waistline, and I didn't even notice it just now!

"Did I... just fell into a hallucination?"

If it weren't for Wujo Satoru, I might have drowned in the fish pond without knowing it?

And I didn't even realize this illusion...

Gojo Satoru smiled, bent down and leaned in front of me, "I saved you again, how can I thank me?"

I:"."

Me: "Then go back and treat you to dinner?"

"You want to send me away after a meal?" He raised his eyebrows, but he didn't know what he thought of, and then said, "It's not impossible, anyway, just don't renege on your debt after you leave the village!"

Now it's my turn to be dissatisfied, "Hey, hey - don't talk like I often renege on my debts, okay?"

He looked at me inexplicably, and said pointedly, "Just remember what you said today."

I curled my lips and didn't refute him, then got up and left the fish pond.Because of the water, the pants are now wet, and they are tightly attached to my legs, which is very uncomfortable.

"Go back and change quickly."

Then, as soon as the words fell, he was picked up by someone.

I was startled, and subconsciously grabbed the clothes on his chest, "What are you doing?"

"Don't you want to go back and change quickly? I'll help you with unlimited driving." He took it for granted.

"."

Wujo Wu's smile suddenly faded, and he looked into the depths of the thick fog, "But it seems that we can't go back for the time being."
