Siren Blade

Chapter 5 must kill
I can't understand my situation.

Last time, I also deviated from the normal time and space for no reason on the nameless mountain, strayed into the night forest, but at that time I was walking on the mountain anyway.But this time, I was clearly in the hotel at the foot of the mountain, but when I woke up, I found myself in a dark forest.Could it be that I was sleepwalking, and I climbed to the mountainside unimpeded while sleepwalking?

I'd rather believe that I'm still dreaming.

But everything in front of me is so real.The damp cold wind caressed my skin and caused goosebumps, rustled the leaves and grass, and the piercing chirping of insects one after another. Occasionally, there was the movement of unknown animals passing by the bushes in the distance.Everything was the same as the last time and the re-enactment five years ago, and I even reflexively felt timid in my heart.

There is no doubt that this is reality.

I say so to myself.

At this time, a wonderful feeling rose from my inner world.Just like last time, I once again had a mysterious intuition, which seemed to be some kind of inspiration, guiding me to go deeper into the mountain forest.Immersed in this feeling carefully, I can even hallucinate a voice that should not exist, that voice seems to say: here.

But this time, I didn't choose to be guided by my intuition.

The last time I followed this inexplicable guidance, I met that demon and was finally killed by him.This time, I'm going in the opposite direction.

Just as I turned around and took a step, there was a huge explosion sound in the distance behind me—about 300 meters away, like a missile crashing to the ground.Although I have never seen a missile bombing in reality, this is the only way I can describe the loud noise at this moment.The shock produced by the big explosion was even very clearly transmitted to my feet, and the strong wind formed by the shock wave made the forest restless, roaring all the way to me.

The mountains and forests were so quiet before, but now there was a sudden explosion, which irritated my mood and my eardrums.I immediately looked back, only to see a particularly striking fire and black smoke in the distance.

That seemed to be the direction the devil was in.

In the flames and black smoke, I vaguely saw the luster and roar of the blue thunder.

Could it be that this was made by the blue bird?Was it she who caused the explosion?She found the devil and had a firefight with him?
Although I haven't figured out what's going on, my judgment of staying away from that direction is obviously correct, and it's not suitable to stay here for a long time!

Without hesitation, I turned around and ran.

However, my plan didn't go so well.

No matter how hard I ran, I couldn't feel the distance between myself and the roar of firefights in the distance.Not only that, but the terrifying sound was actually getting closer to me at a fairly fast speed.When I looked back, the sound was only tens of meters away from me, and the cyan thunder was no longer faintly visible. I could clearly see that the body of the thunder was a person wrapped in cyan electric current all over his body. .

And with the dazzling thunder light, I can also see that this person is fighting with another dark figure.

It's the blue bird and the devil!

It was at this distance that I barely managed to capture the high-speed movement of the two.Strictly speaking, I was only able to capture Majin's movement, and his speed was literally shot off the string.If it is at close range, his movement is no different from teleportation to me.

However, Jade Bird sometimes seemed to transform into a swift lightning bolt, which repeatedly surpassed my dynamic vision. I could only judge what movement route she had passed by relying on the residual marks on my retina.

She holds the Thunderbolt Sword I have seen before in her right hand, every time she slashes across the air, she will shoot out an astonishingly powerful thunderbolt, and sometimes even shoot at least five in a row in a second.But every time, he was evaded by the demon as if he could predict the future, or smashed the thunder with his giant axe.When the thunder falls on the ground, it will form a destructive force like a landmine explosion.

The battlefield between the two is so terrifying, which far exceeded my expectations.

In my expectation, although the devil is powerful, it is just that his physical ability surpasses that of ordinary people. However, facing such a powerful blue bird, the devil does not seem to be inferior...

In other words, all my understanding of the demon's combat effectiveness comes from the experience of the demon killing me last time.But it's just killing my little Li Duo, so how can he show the upper limit of his demon's combat power?

Just as I was looking at the devil, the devil seemed to sense my gaze. He turned his face without facial features and "looked" at me.

Then, he made a decision that I can't understand.

He actually left the blue bird and came straight to me!

At his speed, no matter how I try to escape, it will be useless.But he made a fatal mistake, and he foolishly exposed his back to the real enemy.

Qingniao didn't let go of this great opportunity, she changed from holding a sword with one hand to holding a sword with two hands, and raised the lightning sword above her head.The Thunderbolt Sword suddenly became huge and turned into a—or in other words, "a" super Thunderbolt Sword with a length of more than 20 meters.

This huge lightsaber overflowing with blue lightning illuminated the dark mountain forest like daytime.

What happened after that, I didn't go to see, because I had hidden behind the nearest tree, and closed my eyes and ears.I also know that Qingniao is going to take this opportunity to eliminate the devil with the strongest trick.Immediately afterwards, a sonic explosion that exceeded my tolerance limit sounded, and the too bright light seemed to pierce my eyelids.I felt my body fly into the air under the explosion, and my head was dizzy from the shock.

I probably really fell into a coma for a while, but soon, the feeling of being carried by someone and the bumps and vibrations brought me back to my senses, and the surroundings were completely dark.

"Blue Bird?" My voice was more difficult than I expected.

"Hmm." It was the voice of the blue bird.I found myself free of deafness, as if she had given me some emergency treatment, but the pain from the torn eardrum was still there.

"Is he dead?" I asked.

"No," she said.

"What..." I couldn't imagine how the devil could survive such a massive attack.

"Because that guy is actually immortal..." she said bitterly.This statement made me doubt my ears, immortality?Devil?Is he unkillable?
Then, the blue bird asked: "What about you? Why are you here?"

"I don't know, it seems that I came here from sleepwalking. I was here when I woke up." Although I answered honestly, I also knew that this kind of answer was not convincing.

"Really?" Her tone made it impossible for me to judge whether she accepted such an answer, and then she said, "The devil seems to want to kill you..."

I was also wondering about this, but before I could respond, she suddenly fell to the ground, and I, who was being carried by her, also fell to the ground.

I forced myself to stand up, and at this moment I saw clearly where I was, still in the forest.Blue Bird also supported her body precariously. I noticed that her white T-shirt and blue jeans were soaked in blood and mud, and her body under the clothes seemed to be covered with scars.

"You are..."

"Stop talking, run quickly."

She grabbed my right hand and pulled me to run.I remembered that she had dragged me to run like this after cutting down the street trees during the day, but at this moment, there was only a coldness in my heart.

"It seems that this mountain doesn't intend to let us go..." She sighed after running not far.

"This mountain?"

"You probably can't feel it, and I just noticed it. This mountain, or rather, this forest, has a magical power that makes people lose their way." She said, "People who wander outside the forest will get lost in it, People inside can't get out, that's the structure."

"Did the devil turn the forest into this?"

"Probably not."

"Could it be that the people who disappeared here in the past are also because of this..." I thought of the missing front desk and the young girl.

Undisguised footsteps sounded hurriedly from behind.Undoubtedly, the demon is approaching quickly, and I can feel the great killing intent from the footsteps.At the same time, Blue Bird's deep voice sounded beside my ears, "Li Duo, I'm sorry...I can't protect you anymore."

As soon as the words fell, she let go of my right hand, and then pushed me extremely roughly, with such force that I fell to the ground uncontrollably.

What is she doing?I was confused for a while, and I remembered a dark joke I heard a long time ago: Two people were chased by a man-eating tiger in the jungle. Although no one can run as fast as the tiger, as long as they can run faster than the people around them It's okay, the slow one will naturally become the bait responsible for attracting the tiger.

Is she... is she trying to use me as bait?
However, the next moment, I was deeply ashamed of my superficial and mean thoughts.

Where I was originally standing, a giant ax covered in rust appeared from the darkness and fell like a guillotine.I survived because I was pushed away by the blue bird, but she couldn't retract her arm, her left forearm was chopped off by the ax blade, and blood spurted out.

"Run!" She yelled, while condensing the lightning sword, aiming at the demon man.

But the devil didn't pay attention to the blue bird that was attacking him, he faced me without hesitation.Even though the lightning sword pierced his heart, he didn't waver at all, and still swung the giant ax at me.

I can't see the eyes and expressions on the face without facial features, but I can feel an extremely strong and clear will - he hates me more than anyone else, no matter how many times I repeat, he hates me They all want to kill me.

My field of vision spun suddenly and then fell to the grass.

In the end, what came to the ears was the blue bird's cry of grief and indignation, as well as the noise of thunder and lightning intertwined.
-
The train announcement wakes me up:

"The next stop is 'Wu Ming Shan Station', open the door on the left, please give up the love seat to passengers in need..."

I seemed to wake up from an extremely realistic nightmare. In front of me was the carriage of the train, and the warm sunlight came in from the window.There are no dark mountains and forests that cannot be walked out, no demons, no blue birds, and no pain and death.I'm back in the waking world.

However, I know those are not nightmares, they are real things that happened.

I am back again.

The face of the blue bird emerged clearly in my consciousness.

When I first met her, I looked down on her because of her too young appearance, thinking that such a person is not like a national first-level witcher, but then I still mistakenly thought that she pushed her away for a moment Me, in order to feed me to the devil as a bait, so that I can escape with ease.

I just felt like my face was on fire.At the same time, I was left with a lingering fear of my own death.But the shame of misunderstood others even briefly overcame the lingering fear.

There is no doubt that she is a truly heroic person. How can I belittle such a person in my heart?
Fortunately, I have a chance to make a comeback.

Going back in time... I used to suspect that this was a miracle that would only happen once, so I didn't trust it with confidence.But since it will happen repeatedly, it is not a simple miracle.Although I don’t know why this phenomenon happens repeatedly to me who can be seen everywhere, but if I can make good use of this phenomenon, can I also have the power to punish evil and promote good, and become a heroic character I fantasized about when I was a child Woolen cloth?Like... a blue bird?
Let's not talk about distant things first, let's summarize what happened last time.

If the first time I met a Majin was called "the first time", then the last time was the "second time".

In "The Second Time", I mysteriously sleepwalked into the dark forest of the Nameless Mountain, and the forest has the characteristics of "lost", and the demon is also in the forest.

My sleepwalking, the lost forest, the terrifying demon... If these three are regarded as three supernatural events isolated from each other, it would be too inconsistent.

Even if supernormal events are not so rare at the national level, at the private level, they should be ultra-low probability events that may not be seen once in a lifetime. However, an ordinary person like me has encountered three at once. How low is this probability? , I can hardly imagine.Therefore, I tend to interpret it as "different components of a paranormal event".

The devil's killing intent towards me can also testify to this theory. It seems that I have already formed a life-and-death relationship with this devil at some point.Based on this theory, although Aotori said that the phenomenon of getting lost in the mountains and forests was not done by the Majin, there should be other perspectives that can connect the two.

I thought that as long as I stayed away from the nameless mountain, my life would not be in danger. Now it seems that this is just optimism based on ignorance.Before I knew it, I myself had become part of this paranormal event.

Do you want to just run away—this kind of thinking is best thrown directly in the trash.The devil is not the "earth-bound spirit" of Wuming Mountain, as Qingniao mentioned, he is a murderer.If he just went back to the city to live a normal life, maybe one day he would be caught and killed by a demon.The worst situation is that not long after lying down in the city, when I come back to my senses, I find that I have mysteriously sleepwalked to the unnamed mountain.

Something had to be actively done, not just being a "reporter of paranormal events," I had to be a part of it myself.

But how exactly do you get involved?The battlefield between the blue bird and the devil, is it something I can participate in just by saying it?
Although at a loss, no matter how I plan, I have to contact Jade Bird first.

Afterwards, I meticulously imitated what I did last time. I first went to the small store at the foot of Wuming Mountain to buy water, and then went to the police station to report the crime. The man came to pat himself on the shoulder.

But this time, no one came.

We waited until evening, no matter whether it was the old man or the blue bird, no one came.
