However, after she seemed to travel to another world last night, the two girls were not attacked by zombies in their sleep, which made Brunhilde feel that things were beginning to be suspicious.

The simplest possibility I can think of is that the residents of the town who turned into ghouls can't actually leave the town. If that's the case, there's no need for her to bring her two children around without knowing what's going on. Run around in the forest of East and West, as long as you don't enter the town.

But if it wasn't such a simple matter, bad guesses began to appear in Brunhild's mind.

"Rama and Scatha...even Mr. Kira has disappeared during this time."

If Kira didn't just want to tease her, it's more likely that they were attracted by something else to investigate something more essential in this case.

The sky has not yet fully lit up, and the night has not completely receded. This point in time is exactly what Brunhilde wants now.

"Hide behind me, don't worry, if there is danger, I will protect you."

"...I see, I believe in Sister Brunhilde."

"..."

Lavilia followed behind without saying anything. She was not good at reasoning, but she knew a lot about some crooked knowledge in this area.

"That... sister, if you feel that you can't go deep, please... don't force it."

"......I see."

Brunhilde now feels that she understands what Ravilia is saying, but if she has not moved forward, the consequences will definitely be worse.

The three of them came together near the town that had become a place of fear. Brunhilde climbed up a tree with some difficulty, and then picked up the two children below.

Going to a higher place to look at the small town of Salem not far away, the corpses of the zombies killed by their substitutes before have disappeared, and it looks very calm. It is a town that is a little creepy when you look at it from this distance.

"No one... is there? Are they all at home and not going out?"

Originally, Abigail thought she would see the disgusting scene of zombies walking slowly in the small town with rotting flesh falling from their bodies, but there was no one in sight.

"No, no, no, Abigail...."

Lavilia's little nose sniffed, and said like a puppy.

"No... corpse stink. None of those guys' stink."

If there were no zombies, where did those townspeople go? Just when Ravilia and Abigail were full of doubts, Brunhilde looked at the direction of the town wholeheartedly. Some kind of guess in her heart , may be about to be fulfilled.

"Here we come! Someone is here!"

"That's...Miss Marcelli who sells snacks in the town?"

Abigail saw a familiar figure walking into the town, not from a certain house, but as if he had stayed outside until dawn and came back.

And wearing a very large robe, it looks like some kind of ceremony has been performed in a church or something, but Abigail is very clear that the other party is not a priest.

"It's not just her, there are..."

The townspeople, who were also wearing large robes, walked into the small town of Salem one after another. They walked over like a neat army.

He took off all the robes on his body, revealing the normal clothes underneath.

"It's not zombies, they... this smell, there is no doubt that they are living people. Why, they... really should have turned into ghouls!"

Lavilia also widened his eyes at this moment, as if he saw the corpses imitating human speech, saw those who should have turned into zombies, and put those uniforms into a room after getting ready and went up Lock.

"That's...the warehouse in the town, why...hide those clothes!"

"This smell, something has changed! This familiar smell...!"

"Woo..."

Brunhild and the other three witnessed the beginning of the change with their own eyes. When the night gradually disappeared and the warm sunset slowly rose, the residents who returned to Salem made very painful voices.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~!!"

The original human voices gradually became irrational, and their bodies began to show signs of decay and cracks under the sun, and their whole bodies seemed to become stiff after rolling their eyes in pain.

"It's the smell of corpses, those guys! Those guys... are zombies! They're ghouls!!"

"Woo! This is too...disgusting!"

Lavilia and Abigail watched normal people turn into ghouls who only knew how to thirst for human flesh and blood in the sun. Their noisy and disgusting groans could even be heard from their side. Very clear.

"Really...just as I thought."

I also feel disgusted, but because I have seen countless rotting corpses on the battlefield, Brunhilde is still thinking normally and steadily.

This is another possibility she thought of. Those zombie townspeople who turned into ghouls were not unable to leave the town, but they never caught up.

Only during the day, these people will become this kind of monsters who only know how to thirst for flesh and blood. At night, they will become normal humans, and return to the normal people that Abigail and Ravilia knew. townspeople.

But it's not just that, those townspeople obviously have some secrets, what activities are they doing collectively at night, that cursed town that was famous for witch hunting in history, at this time the residents here obviously Something evil is going on.

Brunhilde glanced at a dumbfounded Abigail, both of whom were stunned by the purgatory scene, both of whom clearly knew nothing about it.

"What exactly is going on."

"Think about it in reverse, it's easy to think in reverse at a time like this, Brunhilde."

"Goo...teacher...."

Turning things around in Kira's favorite fashion, what reason could these people have been trying to hide from Abigail and Lavilia.

In this case, even if the other party is a child, it will become easy to be exposed.

"If you think about it this way... Are these two children the center of some kind of ritual they performed? Sure enough... Abigail's adoptive father Carter is one of the shady ones, but..."

Brunhilde thought about it, and decided to continue to observe these townspeople tonight, if they really turned into humans again by night.

"At that time... just follow up quietly."

Chapter 32: Darkness that is still clear in the dark

Time is becoming more and more tense. According to Abigail and Ravilia, there is still a little time before the so-called end of the world, but Brunhilde always has a possibility that the world will end in the next second. A premonition that will cease to exist.

Don't use common sense to think about everything. No matter when, the real victory is based on the changing and colorful reality.

"Do you want to have the mentality of facing all kinds of changes at any time? It's easier said than done. No matter how you modify your heart, you will still be bound by certain laws."

Brunhilde shook his head. What Kira said were not all evil truths. They are indeed useful at critical moments, but they are also difficult to do. Humans are not machines, but only humans can do it, and it is difficult to do it. arrive.

"Sister Brunhilde, do you want...to go alone? I...want to go with you...."

It was getting closer to the night again. According to the original plan, Brunhilde planned to observe the movements of the residents who had turned into zombies. As she expected, when the sunset gradually disappeared and the night began to fall, those residents in Seiler The ghouls wandering around the land of the small town of Mu began to twitch unnaturally.

"Ugh...ahhhh!"

"Woo! They...they...!"

Even at a distance, they can still hear the disgusting sound of their bodies as if a hot pot in hell is boiling in public, as if the humanoid objects there are just piles of squirming flesh, but they just happen to have the appearance of humans like.

"It's... the time has come."

"The time has come and the plans... have changed."

"Hurry up, you have to hurry up."

With language again, those things that have become close to human beings, while speaking incomprehensible words, took out the hidden clothes and candlesticks, and changed the slow movements of the previous ghouls , After sorting everything out quickly, they began to leave the town in an orderly manner.

"I can't take the two of you with me. It's too dangerous. Now that I know their rules of action, the two of you can be safe as long as you hide not far from the town and away from their moving route."

When he said this, Brunhilde was also a little uncertain. The situation is always changing, but Abigail and Ravilia are better than following her.

"I... probably have to fight them, and by that time... I probably don't have the energy or the chance to protect you or Ravilia."

"but......."

"Abby... Gail, now... it's better not to hold back because of the so-called worries...."

Ravilia stopped her only friend, Abigail, and the fact that she didn't want Abigail to go to those places would probably make Abigail a very different person than she is now.

"Brünnhilde... sister, goo... Forget it, this kind of intimacy really doesn't suit me..."

It doesn't look like a human, but in fact it may be the girl Ravilia who is the closest to an ordinary person in Salem, said nervously to Brunhilde.

"What they... want to summon is probably something we can't fight against, so... don't be fooled. If you have a premonition that you can't win, please... run away."

Lavilia seemed to be trying her best to speak fluently, she didn't really know the truth, at least after entering the town from that darkness, everything became completely beyond what she originally understood.

"this is for you."

"This is?"

"Maybe...something that could save your life."

Lavilia handed a badge-like thing to Brunhild, and Brunhild looked at the thing, which was engraved with a pattern that looked like a pentagram.

"Go, they should not have gone far."

"Thank you, I'll keep it safe."

——————————————————————————————————————————————

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooluines like

Nero excitedly hugged Aige tightly, because Aige had a great success in the conversation between Brynhildr and Lavilia, and it was unexpected that Lavilia took out the game that existed on the game board. The strongest prop in theory.

"With this, Brunhild has nothing to fear!"

"That... Your Majesty Nero, the last character who said that, as far as I know, her head was taken for afternoon tea not long ago..."

Ishtar complained about it, but it is still very clear that in this case, the appearance of the old seal is really a timely help for them, which is equivalent to giving Brunhilde a life-saving talisman.

"At least... it can be guaranteed that the last stable character card will not be easily killed."

"Is this really the case? Now...we don't even know what the other party's situation is. If a black light falls into hell, how many old seals are there will not be enough."

Kama couldn't rest assured at all. Rama and Skaha Alter left the stage too quickly, so they didn't have a little advantage in intelligence. Now it's just an extra chance to start again when they are in the dark.

"Ah, really, but to put it bluntly, we can't do anything but watch Aika throw the dice now! That guy Kira... handed the dice to me without letting me know what he's doing now, I don't even know what's going on with him now!"

"Okay, at least that guy Kira...it's impossible for us to worry. Or...we can't stop him no matter what."

Nero and Kamo were really annoyed, they couldn't even be dice-throwing tools anymore.

"Huh? This is...the character card...appeared again!"

At this time, Kama noticed that new character cards were being generated, and wondered if Kira allowed those who were suddenly retired to return to the chessboard, so he quickly picked it up to have a look.

"Tsk! Don't you think the situation is not chaotic enough, Kira!"

"Karma?"

"The master of Chaldea, Fujimaru Tateka, was brought in."

The girls frowned. At such a time, it was normal for Chaldea to be unable to sit any longer, but Kira would actually acquiesce that the other party entered the game board.

————————————————————————————————————————————

"Is it right here, these guys...!"

Carefully following the townspeople, Brunhilde once again saw a sight that made her feel unbelievable.

When the townspeople came to a relatively open place, as the leader recited an uncomfortable spell, a black fog spread in the forest.

They walked into the darkness without hesitation, as if swallowed by the monster lurking in the darkness, and soon disappeared, leaving only the "darkness" that didn't know what was inside.

"I can only...go and see...."

Looking at the sky, it was completely dark, and it should be past ten o'clock at night. It should have been completely dark, but only the "darkness" made Brunhilde feel that he could notice its existence no matter what.

"It seems that there is no difference between day and night... Huh, it really has a shape, and it is becoming more and more impossible to think with the common sense of any era."

Walking to the darkness that seemed to eat her up and chew her up, she suddenly heard a bell.

"This is... the bell at twelve o'clock at night!?"

It's strange, following these people here, although the speed is slower than expected, it shouldn't be until twelve o'clock at night.

As soon as this question arose in her mind, Brunhilde thought of what happened the night before, and her sense of time was always useless.

"In the final analysis... the countdown to the end of the world that Ravilia said, is there really a few days left?"

"Have you already begun to think in this way, but in the eyes of most people, you may be considered a dead end."

"You are...!?"

In front of Brunhild, Abigail appeared, but that aloof temperament made Brunhild immediately realize that it was the person who appeared in front of her last night that had Abigail in her eyes. Something that looks like Bigel.

"Brünnhilde, are you going to see it~?"

"...Look at what."
