Chapter 493
"that--"

Wuhe Shidao stood on the open ground in front of his house, staring blankly at the scenery in the distant sky that should have been the night sky.

"……What is it exactly!"

Just like anyone else around him, the look on his face said how much he was shocked at the moment, leaving nothing but a blank in his mind.

And the phrase "just like everyone else around" means that in the open space around at this time, many people walked out of the house like him.

These people are all residents of this community, but no matter whether they were sleeping or doing other things before, they put down any previous thoughts and walked out of the house.

Just like Wuhe Shidao, they stood outside the door and looked up at the sky that had become abnormal, and then they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Not long after, the surrounding open space became crowded with people, bustling with each other and shoulder to shoulder.

They were all stiff, staring blankly at the sky that suddenly turned into daylight, and the expressions on their faces were all extremely frightened without exception.

And this kind of situation is not limited to this residential area, but the adjacent residential areas, the entire city, the entire country, the entire hemisphere, and the entire world are almost without exception being staged.

People subconsciously resist accepting the reality, and only hope that they are mistaken or simply dreaming, until the words that seem to pronounce fate resound——

"I will bring my people back to my country. On the day of the promise, I want you to return to your original life and return to my seat in the original form..."

It was obviously just a soft whisper, but it resounded through the entire world, hitting the hearts of all listeners within the planet with a deep soul-like heavy knock.

For a moment, it seemed as if the world was silent and everything was still, and everyone had an expression of bewilderment and disbelief, and only these words were left echoing repeatedly in their hearts.

"..."

"..."

There was a dead silence among the dark crowd, and the silent silence made the ominous atmosphere spread everywhere quickly, but this kind of silence did not last for too long.

Soon, many people were trying to calm down and started discussing the rationality of this phenomenon with people around them, trying to find an acceptable one from a scientific and rational point of view, or at least allow themselves to accept it. reason——

For example, what are the mirages, what are the collective hallucinations, what are the military weapons tests of great powers... etc., maybe their imaginations have never been so rich in their entire lives.

Although he didn't know the reason for that, nor did he have the ability to explain this phenomenon with the laws of physics and scientific and technological principles, but Wuhe Shidao still had the basic ability to distinguish.

After listening to a few words, the corner of his mouth twitched immediately, thinking that these people might have lost their normal rationality and thinking ability due to excessive fright.

Now the entire night has turned into day, and the blazing stars in the sky exude an eternal majesty. In the deep and magnificent flames, it is obvious that a white horse and a vague and indistinct figure can be seen...

There was also the whispering voice that clearly emerged in everyone's heart just like a spell resounding through the world.

These things, you tell me how could it be a mirage or some mass hallucinogenic phenomenon?
So, these guys are complete nonsense.

Wuhe Shidao wanted not to listen to such meaningless remarks, but this kind of topic seemed to be very contagious, and it spread around the crowd in just a few moments.

Because everyone's faces were ugly and terrified, there was also a slight commotion among the crowd, as if it would trigger a greater panic at any time.

Therefore, they urgently need a reassurance, no matter whether it is true or not, as long as they find an acceptable reason and someone agrees with their explanation, then they will feel a momentary peace of mind.

To put it simply, it is like when students return to school after the holidays, they will ask others if they have done their homework.Although it doesn't matter whether other people do their homework or not, there is no way to change the fact and outcome of their own failure to do their homework.

But only when they get the support of others and know that there are people in the same situation as themselves, then they will feel at ease.That's the reason.

The people around are constantly whispering in low voices, even if they don't want to hear those words, they will keep getting into their ears.Wuhe Shidao smiled wryly, but didn't say anything. It is obviously unwise to fight against the crowd at this time.

"Shidou..."

The girl's voice sounded behind him, and the boy turned around, only to find that Tohka had changed out of her pajamas and came out of the room.It's just that his younger sister Kotori didn't come out, but he wasn't surprised either.

After all, if the Ratatoskr organization did not respond to this unusual and weird phenomenon, it would be better for them to disband early to avoid embarrassment.

As the commander of the Ratatoskr organization, his younger sister, Kotori, probably had already set off for the airship Fraxinus at this time, and began to preside over the overall situation.

Yatogami Tohka walked up to Itsuka Shidou, looked up at the abnormal phenomenon in the sky, and her excellent eyesight allowed her to catch the figure in the brilliance that brought her an unparalleled sense of oppression in an instant.

The majestic white horse has a huge flame burning on its body.

The blurry figure is a truly sacred existence, and in Yatogami Tohka's past life, she has never encountered such a fearsome thing!
"What's the matter, Tohka?"

Wuhe Shidao was a little worried and asked with concern, he really had never seen such an expression on the face of an elf girl.

"I don't know..." Yatogami Tohka's voice was a bit dull, she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes in distress, "I always feel, I always feel... It seems to be a very bad feeling."

"..."

"..."

"There's no problem. It's probably because of things during the day that you think too much."

Have a bad feeling?There was an inexplicable "thud" in Wuhe Shidao's heart, but he didn't show anything, he just comforted the other party after thinking about it.

Before the elf girl could answer, reality slapped him in the next moment——

"Wait, wait! What is that—!!"

Someone suddenly screamed not far away, and the suddenly brighter sky also made Wuhe Shidao's heart beat heavily.

He suddenly raised his head and looked again, only to see white light overflowing from the corner of the sky, and huge beams of light fell from the sky at least 100 million meters above the sky, so that he could clearly see it from the other end of the continent. arrive.

One of the pillars of light pierced through the sky, obviously falling from the middle of the two heads.

It rushed straight to Yatogami Tohka.

"Tohka! Dangerous!" With a "hum" in his head, Wuhe Shidou flew towards the girl next to him almost like an instinctive reaction, trying to knock her away, so as to avoid the thunderbolt The beam of light falling down.

But it was useless, as if he had hit a flexible protective film, his whole body was bounced off solidly, and he fell to the ground.

"Shidou! Shidou!..."

But Yatogami Tohka was at a loss and was suddenly enveloped by the beam of light. The irresistible force made her unable to do anything except scream.

What's more, her spiritual power has been sealed at this moment. Although she is an elf, she has temporarily lost the attributes and abilities of an elf, basically no different from ordinary people.

Damn it!How is this going! !
Struggling to get up from the ground, ignoring the panicked and retreating crowd around him, Wuhe Shidao gritted his teeth tightly, and without any hesitation, used his body to slam into the past again...

……

……

Time: 15 minutes later.

Location: The base of the Ratatoskr organization's activities, inside the airship Fraxinus.

"No problem? Really no problem? How could this happen—" Shidao Wuhe was circling around in the cab like ants on a hot pot, "Tohka is like this, so is Kotori... ..."

The captain's seat was empty, Wuhe Kotori did not sit in her seat as usual, but was being examined in the infirmary together with Yatogami Tohka, unconscious.

It is said that 15 minutes ago, when the beams of light pierced through the sky and the earth from outside the atmosphere, and when they fell, Wuhe Kotori, like Yatogami Tohka, was also assigned to a beam of light.

So they took it for granted that, like Yatogami Tohka, they passed out directly and are still in a coma.

This is something Wuhe Shidou did not expect at all. Who would have thought that the nature of those beams of light would be so weird that even the interior of the airship Fraxinus would not be able to stop it, as if all material obstacles did not exist before touching the Lord.

The bulkhead of the airship Fraxinus couldn't block the phantom-like beam of light at all, but after it irradiated Wuhe Kotori, an absolute change in nature took place immediately.

Fortunately, Wuhe Kotori is only the commander, but the Ratatoskr organization has a complete and independent operating system, so for the time being, it is just that there is one less person who can make up his mind, rather than leaving everyone in a state of confusion.

Otherwise, Wuhe Shidao would not appear here.

But it's useless, Wuhe Shidao only felt that his head was full of all kinds of flustered emotions and thoughts, and he just couldn't calm down. If he didn't know that his sister and Tohka had simply fallen asleep, he would probably have been even worse. anxiety.

What's going on here, why are Tohka and Kotori... what do they have in common?

Are they all girls?
No, there are enough girls in this world.But what else do they have in common? Tohka being an elf should be the most obvious problem, but her sister Kotori is just a human!

"Please calm down, Shidou-san, you can't solve the problem in a hurry at this time..."

Kannazuki, who was so handsome that he didn't look like a native of the country, came over. At this time, he restrained his perverted gentleman nature, and took on the task of deputy commander very well, "We need to face the reality."

As his voice fell, Wuhe Shidao looked up subconsciously, and saw a brand new picture appeared on the huge screen in the center of the bridge, which was undoubtedly the scene in the sky.

A ring of light formed around the dazzling star, like a halo of the sun, but ripples appeared in circles like the surrounding space like a water surface, spreading toward the end of the void.

Judging from the magnification operation of frame-by-frame images captured by high-precision detection equipment, the essence of the constantly expanding light wheel is composed of various luminous lines, and each line is like a The condensed light of various complex and weird symbols.

Magic circle?
Wuhe Shidao felt a chill, and he subconsciously thought of this setting that often appeared in anime or games.

The pattern on the screen is still constantly changing. After more than ten seconds of technical analysis that Wuhe Shidao doesn't understand, it is constantly zoomed in, zoomed out, and reconstructed. Finally, a partial panoramic thumbnail appears——

It was a huge array with incomparably complicated runes and graphics. From the shape, it looked like a tree root. There were many branches at the bottom, and the limit of each branch was the eyes.

Each bifurcation forms the trunk upwards, and the center of the trunk is a large circle...
