Alien paradise

"Did she notice something unusual about you? Or maybe she was just watching the crowd... Forget it, there's no point in guessing. We have to find her after all." Chaoyang said, "Let Coco Moqi track her whereabouts."

The scene continues to change.

When the angel saw the other party, he finally took his hand back. After hesitating for a moment, the girl walked towards the other end of the beach. After walking for more than ten meters, her figure suddenly disappeared into the air.

"She also knows invisibility?" Elodie asked in surprise.

"No, it was the girl who stepped out of the magic range." Coco Moqi explained, "The miracle can only be cast in a chosen location. The longer time passes, the more energy it will consume."

And she can only cast this kind of magic five to six times.

Elodie is confused, how to track this? One reappearance can only cover a distance of tens of meters in a radius. If the opponent keeps moving, a hundred times of magic may not be able to catch the opponent.

"Ahem... Yu's tracing skills are naturally not limited to this one... There are also tree branch divination and soul guidance, but..."

"but what?

"But their conditions are more...complex, and they are not suitable for use in the current situation. Branch divination can ask the branch where a person is going, and then it will choose one of the two directions to fall down, with a 50% accuracy rate; Soul Guidance You need Yu to leave a mark in advance, and then you can keep tracking the other party. Overall, the miracle is the best option," Coco Moqi said clearly, "Yu can use it five more times, so you may not have a chance. Chase her."

"...No need." Elodie said decisively. If the other party is using his own willpower, then just try, and failure is no big deal. But the goddess of magic now needs to obtain the power of will from Chaoyang, which consumes core resources and cannot be wasted on something with a very low success rate.

"Wait a minute," Chaoyang suddenly interrupted, "You said before that the girl's eyes were facing you?"

"Roughly the same."

"But I thought about it carefully. There was another person in front of you at that time. I noticed her existence through your perspective. This description may have given you the illusion that it was you she was staring at. But is there a way Maybe, the other person's eyes didn't really fall on you, but were blocked in front of you?"

In front of me... was blocked...

Elodie recalled the scene at that time... When Chaoyang paused for a moment, she had just finished shaking hands with Vanrick Fisher, who happened to be standing in this line of sight.

If you take it off, the girl's gaze will still have an ending point - Van Rijk's back.

"Is she looking at Vanrick? The fisherman's boss?" Elodie frowned, then relaxed, "Okay, there's nothing to worry about. I guess she just saw the excitement here, so she took a few more glances. Eye."

Chaoyang did not answer immediately.

"What's wrong? Vanrick is the leader of the resistance and was almost hanged by the company. There's no way such a person could attract the mist, right?" Angel joked, "They say devils are suspicious by nature, and it seems to be true."

"You're right, but... I'm wondering if this is just a coincidence?"

"What coincidence?"

"The Phlogiston Company is conducting public executions, and one of the condemned prisoners is Vanrik Fisher. It is impossible for the Hidden Mist to know our plan... If the armed riot did not happen, why did she come to the beach to see it?"

To see what...

Elodie couldn't help but shuddered.

If they had not come to this world and everything was running according to the established track, then the Hidden Mist Envoy would probably only see one thing, and that was Vanrick's body hanging on the noose.

"Are you whispering to the owner of the paradise again?" Coco Moqi crossed her arms in dissatisfaction, "I don't like the feeling of being excluded, can't you tell me too?"

That’s not impossible. Chaoyang obediently pulled her into the "channel" - anyway, this kind of consciousness transmission can be divided into countless channels, so it was no problem if she wanted to talk to Elodie alone. What's more, the goddess of magic knows the God of Hidden Mist better, so she might be able to come up with some new ideas.

After listening to the two people's stories, Coco Moqi suddenly said, "So that's what happened. If you suspect that there is something wrong with the girl, you can start with the two brothers who took care of her. Don't you have the ability to connect? Go and listen. Their voices may be able to discover the flaws of the Hidden Mist. After all, the effect of the fog is to forget but not to erase the facts. The process of her changing from a stranger to the other party's sister will most likely not be seamless."

"As for the man named Van Rick, I don't see anything strange about him. He is just an ordinary human being who can be seen everywhere."

Speaking of this, the Magic Goddess felt quite regretful, "It's a pity that I lost the power of the Kingdom of God, otherwise I could use the magic hourglass to confirm whether he was causing trouble or not."

Chaoyang raised his eyebrows.

She doesn’t have an hourglass, but she can make it herself! Although this is a strange structure, the cost is about two hundred, but it is still within the acceptable range.

It's just that this kind of temptation cannot be conducted in the form of interrogation. After all, just by looking at the Hidden Mist user from a distance, you can suspect that there is something wrong with him. This matter will easily arouse resentment in anyone. If the other party does not cooperate, the hourglass will lose its effect.

In addition, Coco Moqi's previous words also gave him some inspiration. Fanshu did not remember the existence of the Hidden Mist Envoy, but it was possible that relevant information was stored in his memory. If you use the dream spell on him, you might be able to find some clues about the girl.

Thinking of this, Chaoyang immediately decided to take action in two directions.

Elodie's apparent identity is the envoy of God and the deputy commander of the fishermen army, so it is more suitable to ask Vanrik Fish.

As for Fanshu himself, he was brought to him by Coco Moqi.

Neither of them had objections.

"But we have to hurry up," Chaoyang switched to Cui Zhenen's perspective and saw thick smoke rising from several streets in Xiacheng District. "Suppression forces from companies and gangs will soon come to block the beach."

…

At 3:20 in the afternoon, some different changes finally appeared on the edge of the east beach and the city.

"Oh my god...that's..." a worker in the trench muttered.

"Damn beast!" Portland punched the sand hard. I saw a large number of Xiacheng District residents appearing at the end of the beach. They were connected in a string with a straw rope tied around their waists, and they stumbled towards the sea. There is no doubt that they were forced to gather by the company. At the unobstructed junction, these people have only one role, and that is to act as human shields for the enemy.

The workers clearly saw that there were many gangsters mixed in the crowd. They were holding long guns and pushing the locals forward. The long rope made it impossible for anyone to escape, and anyone who refused to move forward was immediately beaten.

The company's strategy is also very clear. Now that the resisters have grabbed the muskets and built a defense line, they no longer hide their secrets and directly use human shields to force the workers to make a choice - or shoot the neighbors and villagers together. Or retreat to the cave and give up the beach position.

"Lalotte, what should we do now?" Portland couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhiyuan.

"Don't fire yet." The latter said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, they can't get here."

This approach of treating ordinary people as human shields is indeed a dilemma for muskets and mountain cannons whose aiming points are not high enough. But once the attackers can shoot accurately, the extremely slow movement speed of the crowd will become the most deadly to the enemy. weakness.
