foreigner's journey

Chapter 351 I Found You
Along the way, ghosts continued to attack the two of them, but after all, the scale was not as large as the big wave before, and they were easily dismissed by the two.

I don’t know if it’s a characteristic of this world, but after the ghost becomes a sack evil spirit, it can be attacked by physical means. Claude’s great sword dances vigorously, and every sword cuts the sack ghost howling and falling backwards. Or dissipate directly.

Alice kept waving her staff behind Claude, casting magic to accurately shoot those ghosts who were far away.Blue-white arcs flashed continuously in the huge dark warehouse, and all the ghosts swept by the lightning were instantly annihilated.

After repelling a wave of phantom raids again, the two took advantage of the rare free opportunity to recover their physical strength while looking around.

The train warehouse has a three-story steel frame structure and occupies a huge area. After all, it used to be an important place for storing train cars and moving vehicles.It's just that the inside of the warehouse is as dilapidated and dusty as the outside. It's obvious that no one has been here for a long time.

At this time, the two were on the second-floor platform, and the target location was the central control room on the third floor, because Alice's [Mind] sensed that there were extremely strong evil thoughts gathering there.

Claude was severely grabbed on the arm by a ghost in the battle just now, and now he took the time to take out the ointment he carried with him and apply it to the wound, while looking at Alice: "What's wrong?"

As a caster, Alice was well protected by Claude and was not injured much.Standing on the open space on the second floor platform, she clasped her hands and frowned slightly: "I didn't sense that those ghosts returned to the stream of life, they were just defeated and dissipated, and if they drag on, maybe they will recover Attack again."

"Maybe it's bound by something?"

It was also the first time for Claude to deal with something like a ghost. Unlike the purely game-like magic spar like [Insight] in the game, the information of the enemy can only be guessed.

Alice shook her head, and looked up at the rusty steel plate above her head in confusion: "I don't know, and do you feel... a cold wind?"

Hearing what Alice said, Claude also felt that the entire train storage warehouse should have been closed, but at this moment, there was a strange wind, and the wind was gradually getting stronger.

Crashing... The broken and discarded parts scattered on the ground around were rolled forward by the wind, the old newspapers were blown by the wind and turned into fine scraps of paper, and the steel frames around and even under the feet were making noises. .

Claude barely maintained his balance, while Alice grabbed the surrounding railings so as not to fall. The entire steel frame structure seemed to be impacted by some huge force and kept shaking.

Suddenly, the shaking stopped, and the weird wind disappeared without a trace.

Alice and Claude looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes, and then rushed to the side.

In the next second, the steel plate above his head exploded!
The thick steel plate and iron sheet exploded into slag, and these iron slag sputtered downward at a super high speed, and the power of each particle was as terrifying as a bullet!
Claude only had time to lift the huge destruction sword across his body to block the impact of those deadly iron filings as much as possible, and at the same time ran towards Alice.

He watched helplessly as at least dozens of iron filings slammed into Alice's body with high-speed impact, and Alice had no way to resist except hugging her head and curling up. speak out.

After getting along for so long and experiencing so many things, Claude has long regarded Alice as a trustworthy friend and partner in his heart, and for some reason, he wants to protect this girl from the bottom of his heart, as if there is an inexplicable Emotions ruled him, but he didn't hate them.

Now, is this girl about to be killed before his eyes?Claude's eyes were red, and for a moment, he only hated why he was so far away from her, and couldn't use his body as a shield to block these attacks for her.

But a strange thing happened. Those iron filings hit Alice hard, without any blood splashing out, and there was no horrific wound. Slight noise.

Looking at Alice again, she still maintained the posture of crouching with her head in her arms. Not only was she not injured, even her clothes showed no signs of damage, as if those deadly iron filings just now were just disguised by soft cotton balls.

Ignoring the huge hole that exploded in the ceiling above his head, Claude threw himself in front of Alice, looked at her nervously, and asked hesitantly after a while, "You, are you okay?"

"Oh, I was scared to death..."

Alice raised her head secretly, and found that the rainstorm of iron filings had stopped, so she stood up and stomped her feet, shaking off the remaining rust on her body:

"Don't worry, I won't be hurt by [Steel] today."

"???"

Hearing Alice's inexplicable answer, Claude was confused, but she was fine.

Just as Alice squatted down to pick up the metal long staff, the steel frame under her feet began to shake violently again, and she couldn't help shouting angrily: "Is there still an end? Guys who only play small tricks behind their backs are the most annoying!"

Just about to complain about how Alice could be successful in reasoning with the ghost, Claude found that the steel frame under his feet stopped shaking again after Alice yelled.

Um?Really useful?Claude began to search his brains and wanted to help Alice complain about the mastermind behind the scenes, but since he was an honest child since he was a child, he didn't know how to use trash talking tactics, and his vocabulary in this area is probably not as much as Alice's.

Before he could continue to create words, a violent wind suddenly rolled up in the huge hole above his head and formed a huge vortex. Countless ghosts screamed and wailed and were sucked into the vortex. Even Claude could feel it. The maliciousness that came poured out from the void.

Big guys are coming!

Claude raised his Destruction Sword and waited for it, and Alice on the side also held a metal staff, ready to activate magic at any time.

A strange laughter came from the hollow, and the vortex formed by the Yin wind suddenly shrank to a point and then enlarged, forming a black tornado!
"It's a black whirlwind! Ah—!" Alice just reminded Claude when she was swept up by the black whirlwind, and the whole person disappeared together with the black whirlwind.

"Alice!!"

Claude was in a panic, and just rushed forward a few steps before subconsciously rolling to the side to avoid, a huge black withered claw slammed into the position where he was just now, followed by two, three, four... Eight sharp claws protruded from the hole in the ceiling, and the arm was connected to a very huge sack ghost, the surface was covered with eyeballs, revealing a strange evil spirit.

Claude charged towards the large evil spirit with a giant sword of destruction, and roared:
"Don't get in the way!"

............................................................

In a trance, Alice found herself falling to the hard ground.

The surroundings were covered by black mist, and I couldn't see or hear anything clearly. Only [Nian] could barely sense a huge and extremely evil gaze staring at me.

It was a one-eyed evil god with scarlet rays, wearing a tattered linen cloak, and countless rusty chains wrapped around its armored hands. The other end of the chains extended into the mist, and faint screams continued to come from it.

"It was you... who restrained those children?" Alice could only feel that countless evil thoughts were madly attacking her brain, and she couldn't help covering her head in pain.

Gradually, the headache subsided, and the scarlet gaze also disappeared, but the surrounding mist continued to roll.

"Ok--?"

Suddenly there was a familiar child's voice, and Alice turned her head suddenly, only to see a phantom of a boy flashing blue light running past her, shouting happily while running:

"Ok--?"

That's... Alice looked aside, and another illusory girl figure sat in the corner with her knees hugged, and shouted with a smile:

"All right--!"

"All right--!"

The boy Xuying ran to the side of the girl Xuying, and his cheerful voice echoed in the void: "I found you!"

The girl also responded happily: "Ah, I was found!"

Then the two ran happily into the distance, and their figures gradually disappeared.

There was uncontrollable sadness in Alice's eyes, and then another voice sounded behind her: "I found you!"

Looking back, she saw another pair of teenagers met: "Ah, we were found!"

"By the way, where is Alice?" One of the phantoms of the teenagers asked.

"I don't know, let's start the game of hide-and-seek again? I'll come to you." Another teenager, Xu Ying, responded, and the two nodded happily and ran away.

Alice knelt down on the ground, looking sadly into the distance, a brown-haired girl wearing a bowknot was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged in the distance, her immature voice was so familiar——

"Okay—"

That was Alice in her childhood, little Alice shouted again and again: "Okay—" but no one responded to her.

The girl stood up, looked around, and shouted "Okay—" with all her strength, but there was still no response.The children have already left or even forgotten her, so how can anyone respond to her, a weird child who acts weirdly?
The grown-up Alice sat in the distance, showing a sad wry smile, and muttered to herself: "...don't shout, no one will respond."

That little Alice was still shouting, but her voice gradually became crying.

Tired of shouting, she finally stood there crying alone, and slowly squatted down:
"Okay... woo... Mom..."

In the sad cry of little Alice, Alice only felt the same sadness pouring into her heart, and at the same time there was a severe headache, which made her cover her head and curl up in pain.

On the other side of the mist that she didn't see, the weird black carriage was constantly accelerating towards her, and the black spikes that were not made of steel pointed directly at the girl's back.

Getting closer, getting closer!
At the critical moment, Alice only felt someone hugging her around the waist, and then she was led to jump high.Almost at the same time, the huge black carriage rolled over from the position where he was before with a mournful howling sound, and the surrounding black mist dissipated immediately.

Headache gone!Alice looked in surprise at the black carriage that was turning around and circling below, and a familiar voice came from her ears——

"Got you."

She looked back suddenly, only to see Heather in a windbreaker hugging herself.

Thinking about it now, since when did I no longer feel lonely and afraid?

At that time, I had a trustworthy and dependable teacher, a friend who could tell my secrets and troubles, a hero whom I longed for, and a...

In the cool night wind, Alice hugged Heather's neck and fell into his arms, softly responded:
"Well, it was found."
