Siren Blade

Chapter 136 Prologue
With the style of biting blood, he will not stay in a fixed place for a long time, not to mention that there is an investigation team sent by the headquarters of the Security Bureau in today's mirage.Judging from the information that Lie Que gave me, the time when the informant witnessed the blood bite was in the early hours of this morning.The problem is that this time I don't know how long Bite Blood will stay.If you want to track it down, it's better to hurry up.

After receiving the notice, Joe Licorice packed up quickly and was ready to set off with me.

"Since you are in a hurry, let's drive there this time. The speed will be much faster. I will use the car from the bureau." She said with emotion, "the car from the bureau is much better than the car I bought myself. , it’s a pity that I don’t usually have a chance to let me get started.”

"It's okay. But this time, don't send strange things to Jade Bird before departure." I reminded.

"What do you mean by strange things?" She asked with a smile, it must be on purpose, "If you don't explain clearly, how can I understand?"

"It's an adult manga where a husband and a female colleague do shameless things without telling the wife who stays at home." At this time, if you show timidity, you will be teased by her, so I put my face on my face and said without any ups and downs, " Last time you sent that kind of thing on your mobile phone when you left for Jade Bird, Jade Bird complained to me, I think that's very bad."

"I actually said it..." She was dumbfounded at first, and then said, "Okay, I understand. I also think that incident was a bit too much, and I have already apologized to Qingniao. I promise not to do it again."

"That's good." I felt relieved, then took out my mobile phone, and told Jade Bird on the phone that I was going on a business trip with Qiao Licorice.

Jade Bird rushed over immediately, although she wanted to go with her very much, but she couldn't get Lie Que's permission, so she could only see us off sullenly.After saying my farewell, I got into the passenger seat of the car.

Qiao Gancao was sitting in the driver's seat. She looked at Jade Bird's expression, and suddenly clenched her fists to cheer herself up. "This time, we must take down the dark-type junior who has guarded himself like a jade after 'going ashore'!"

Hearing this, Qingniao stood outside the car window with a straight face and said: "If you say that again, I will ignore you next month and the next month."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to feel that her threat was too childish, so she made herself laugh first.Qiao Gancao also laughed, then turned to me and said, "I'm sorry, junior. It seems that we can only be separated temporarily and become a pair of ordinary colleagues."

"We are just ordinary colleagues. And 'temporary' is superfluous." Then, I said to Jade Bird, "Then, I'll go first."

She nodded and said seriously, "I'll wait for your return."
-
The car left Liucheng along the highway.I had nothing to do in the passenger seat but watch the scenery fly by outside the car window.Occasionally turning her head to look at Joe Licorice, she focused on the front with her hands on the steering wheel.

Not only Qiao Licao can drive, but Blue Bird can also drive, but as a male, I don't know anything about it, and I always feel embarrassed when I sit in their passenger seat.Should I also learn to drive and get a driver's license?But I don't own a car, and if it weren't for this situation, I wouldn't be interested in driving a car myself.And the car doesn't run as fast as me, if I only go to Mirage by myself, maybe I can run there.

My thoughts diverged while the sun moved slowly across the sky.By noon we were not far from the mirage.It seems that the regional climate is different, and a faint fog can be seen outside the car window.

The phone rang suddenly, pulling me out of my wandering thoughts.It was Lie Que who called me.After connecting, his voice came over, "Li Duo, have you arrived at Mirage? I called Mingyi just now, but I didn't get through, so I can only let you find him yourself."

"I see. Just go to Mirage Security and find him, right?" I said.

"Yes. However, I also called the Mirage Security Bureau just now..." Suddenly, the signal became intermittent, and his words could not be heard clearly, "But... no... you..."

Finally, the phone seemed to lose signal at all.After I hung up, I called Lie Que again, but I couldn't get through.I was on the phone while looking out the car window.At this time, the car has entered a forest road, perhaps the signal in this area is not very good.

And at this moment, I noticed the fog outside again.Although it is still very light, it seems to be a little darker than before.It's just that the problem is not here. As the fog deepened, I began to feel a special feeling faintly emanating from this fog.I savor this feeling carefully.Make no mistake, this is "familiarity".Where have I seen such mist before.

Immediately I thought of Mist Demon's Mist.

"When did it start to fog outside?" I turned to Joe Licorice.

She was startled, and then became confused, "When... I don't know."

Then, she seemed to see something from my face, and she also became serious, "Is there something wrong with this fog?"

"Turn around first." I said.

"Okay." She followed the advice without hesitation.

This forest road seems to be an unpopular place, and no other vehicles can be seen from the front, rear, left, and right sides of the car, and it does not affect the steering.Qiao Licao drove the car back to the way it came from, and even increased the speed further.However, the car has been driving for a long time, but it cannot be separated from this forest road.Logically speaking, this is impossible. I remember that the car has not entered this forest road for a long time, and there is no branch road in the middle. It is a straight route.The current situation is like encountering a ghost hitting a wall.

Not only that, but the fog outside continued to deepen.It was still a mist just now, but now it has turned into a thick fog, and the visibility is getting lower and lower.I even felt the demonic spirituality in the mist, and at the same time, the sense of familiarity in my heart kept rising.It is basically confirmed that this fog is the same type as the fog demon fog I experienced in Day Town.

In other words, we are already in a different space, and we can't leave here no matter what we do in the usual way.

The question is, how could the mist of the Fog Demon appear in such a place?

I think of biting blood.According to the on-site investigation by the Tianhe City Security Bureau, after eating Yuchi raw, Bitexue took away the wooden box on Yuchi's body, and the wooden box was sealed with a part of gray mist.Since Bite Blood is in the mirage, and we encountered such fog on the way to the mirage, can it be inferred that Bite Blood has discovered our existence in advance, and she has used the wooden box in some way? The mist formed the strange space that traps us now.

How did she discover us in advance, is it a precognitive dream?But isn't she afraid of the Siren Blade, so she won't use precognitive dreams to predict things related to me?Or is she now so powerful that even the Siren Blade can't threaten her?
No, it's too soon to say that Bloodbite has spotted us.Now I can't contact Lie Que. If I were biting blood, it would be a reasonable strategy to attack me immediately and strangle me here, but I didn't feel any similar danger.We're just stuck.

I told Qiao Licao my observation results, and she showed a helpless expression, "I haven't reached the right place yet, and I just encountered such a thing..."

But she quickly sorted out her emotions.Warlocks are prone to encountering hidden events, just as detectives in reasoning stories always encounter murders.Presumably she has long been used to this kind of experience of "encountering strange events as soon as you go out".

Suddenly, she stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.But it wasn't because she thought it was futile to continue driving, but because something strange was coming up ahead.It was a dilapidated blue car, the hood was severely smashed, most of the front windows were broken, and the doors were flung open.As the fog became thicker, the car appeared in front of him suddenly. Fortunately, Qiao Licao slowed down in advance, otherwise he might not have time to brake, and he would "die together" with him.

There was no one in the opposite car, only the car parked alone on the side of the road.We got out of the car together and walked over to observe carefully.

At this time, strong and targeted malice came from the depths of the dense fog.

"Wait." I stood in front of Joe Licorice.

Almost at the same time, a car-sized demon with a black metal carapace, like a carnivorous insect, suddenly jumped out of the thick fog.The movement was swift and violent, as if a car really rushed out of the thick fog and was about to hit the person.

I am very familiar with this type of demon, and I don't know how many of them I have killed in Bairi Town in the past.Don't do what he thinks, this is the tentacles of the fog demon.

Could it be biting blood that revived the demon of the mist?Or did he use the mist in the wooden box as a medium to re-summon another demon of mist?That's not impossible, the spirit seance ceremony of the mist demon was originally biting blood and handing it over to evil tricks from nowhere.

While doubting in my heart, I raised my right hand bound by a black bandage, and made a chopping gesture to the "tentacles" in front of me.Without any suspense, the "tentacle" was split in two in mid-air, and fell to the ground miserably.

Qiao Licao took a beat to react, and let out a startled cry.

"Scared, scared me to death..." She said with lingering fear.

"Don't be afraid, just like when we were in a different space before, I will be responsible for protecting you. Demons of this level can't hurt you at all." I lowered my head while trying to say something that could calm her down Examine the corpses on the ground.

Then, I tried to sense whether there were other "tentacles" nearby.But just like when I was in Bairi Town before, this dense fog has the effect of hindering perception, and I can't clearly grasp the situation deep in the dense fog.What is certain is that even if there are other "tentacles", the other party has not discovered our existence for the time being.

Let's determine the next policy first.

First of all, if this thick fog is a newly born fog demon, then I can't conquer it with my strength.The reason why he was able to kill the Mist Demon last time was because the Mist Demon merged with the Succubus and possessed the indispensable "organ" of the Succubus.Under normal circumstances, the Mist Demon doesn't have that kind of weakness. Even the Siren Blade can't do anything to a demon that is so huge that it can cover the entire town.

So I had no choice but to find a way to escape.Fortunately, this time I have experts who are good at attacking different spaces by my side.

I explained my thinking to Joe Licorice.It was the first time she came into contact with the different space formed by the fog demon, and she expressed her agreement with my proposed policy.

"Do you have a way to find the exit of this different space?" I asked.

She took out the black metal compass that I had seen twice before, and after pondering for a moment, she said: "It's not very clear, I can only say that there are some clues."

"Clue?" I asked.

"I can't find the exit of this different space, but I can figure out which direction the clues related to the exit are." She looked towards the woods beside the road, "It should be going there."

"Can you know the approximate distance?" I asked.

"It's quite far." She could only give such a vague statement, and then turned her head to look at the car she was driving, "If you want to go through the woods, the car can only park here first, and then I'll come back to pick it up again... I hope there won't be any demons taking the opportunity to destroy the car."

Then, she took out the valuables that were easy to carry in the car and took them with her, and then went deep into the woods with me.

The fog thickened as we went forward.Although the visibility was very low before, he could still see the scene ten meters away, but now it has become almost the same as that in Bairi Town. Just walking a few steps, the trees behind him seem to be covered by fog. All devoured.

Time and space here are also likely to be chaotic.In order to prevent getting separated from Qiao Licao, I tightly grasped her wrist and proceeded cautiously in the dense fog.However, despite having been traveling for some time, no other signs of "tentacles" activity were felt on the way.

Didn't the Mist Demon branch out a lot of tentacles this time?Or is there another reason?I pondered these changes silently, and at the same time raised my ears to listen carefully to the movement nearby.Hearing is a tool I have to use well when vision and perception are not working very well.

The dense fog seems to have drowned the entire forest, and occasionally the rustling sounds that should be the activities of birds, beasts and insects can be heard.Suddenly, I caught a discordant movement from it.

is human.

Just 200 meters away, a human being was walking through the bushes.

According to the information from the hearing feedback, the other party's weight is relatively light, and his movements are cautious, even sloppy, as if he is not good at activities in the wild.Doesn't feel like a dangerous character, is it an ordinary person?
I told Joe Licorice to take a short detour, she nodded and followed me in that direction.Soon, we came to that person.

It was a girl who looked like she was still in middle school. She caught us off guard and sat down on the ground in fright.I also saw her face clearly, but I didn't expect to see her here.

And Qiao Gancao was also surprised, and said in disbelief: "Xiaojing?"
