Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

"These things are pretty cool."

Dante touched his chin, wanting to say something, but he couldn't think of words for a long time, and finally he could only shrug his shoulders and say this.

"I look at the basic history compiled by the Star Alliance on this planet. This mechanical civilization seems to be a civilization that enslaves humans and is like a demon. The Star Alliance wiped it out and liberated the humans in it. Later, a large number of immigrants from other planets joined here. It was built into what it is today.”

Aliangliang Muli thought about it and opened his mouth.

"Although I say that, as far as I know about the early style of the Star Alliance, even if someone tells me that this mechanical civilization is actually peace-loving, I still think it's normal for the Star Alliance government to fight. There are enough bad things these guys have done."

Jiang Ming complained while looking at the wreckage of various mechanical bodies.

"Even now, somewhere in the Star Alliance, there may be similar things happening, but we don't know about it."

Kamijou Touma sighed softly, similarly recalling the experiences in the Unknown Ruins, seeing the ruins of civilizations destroyed by the Star Alliance, the boy was actually greatly shocked.But because the Star Alliance shifted to a peaceful policy after two years of brutal expansion, and the original group of people were tried and executed, even though the boy felt disgusted and unreasonable, he didn't know who he could ask for an explanation, so I can only sigh like this.

"Because these civilizations are not strong enough, they can't control their own destiny. No matter which world it is, power is absolute. Without power, there is no right to speak, and there is no qualification for peace and happiness. Standing with someone who has suffered hardships The civilized saying that has risen is that 'if you fall behind, you will be beaten', and this has never changed."

Virgil is still the same as before, or this guy has always been this style.

"Yes, strength is everything."

Then Nero on the side agreed with Virgil's statement very seriously.

And at a place a little farther away from the crowd, a furtive figure was secretly watching from behind.

Marisa, who put on a camouflage outfit and a sunglasses mask, was peeking at Jiang Ming while pretending to read a newspaper, or to be more precise, peeking at that phantom little girl Jiang Ming put in his pocket. Stone.

Because he planned to refine it into a magic weapon, after Jiang Ming opened the container and took out the stone, he didn't put it into the ring, but put it in his pocket, and kept warming it with spiritual power. Slowly change it to shape it into a magic weapon.

And for someone who wants to steal it, it means opportunity.

Well, even though I said that, it is still a bit difficult.

Even if she didn't try to sense it deliberately, Marisa could clearly judge the terrifying aura entwined on that mean-faced man in red and that cold-faced young man in blue.It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult for Marisa to find someone who can compare with these two guys in Gensokyo.Even just relying on the breath, Marisa believed that any one of these two people could instantly kill the powerful enemy who defeated her in the moon capital.

Uh, why would there be guys of this level, and there are still two of them?

And even apart from these two super powerful ones, the short-haired man next to the cold-faced young man had a breath far superior to his own.And the guy with the unlucky look of the hedgehog head who couldn't tell the shade at all.Well, that guy who looks like a perverted pervert, holding a blond loli, has a strange aura, as if two auras are entangled together.In the end, it was my goal. If the man holding the stone confronted me head-on, I would probably lose.

Sure enough, there are all kinds of masters outside Gensokyo?

So, how do you overcome this difficulty?

"Ok?"

Sensing the gaze, Virgil turned his head, but only saw people coming and going.

"What's wrong, Virgil?"

Seeing that Virgil stopped suddenly, Jiang Ming stopped curiously.

"Someone seems to be following us."

Dante raised his eyebrows, apparently having discovered something.

Someone is following?

Jiang Ming looked at the crowd behind him, but he didn't see any suspicious people.

Marisa, who was following behind, had already slipped to another exhibition area at this moment, but she just used some tricks to leave a window for observation, and continued to secretly pay attention to the movements on this side. Naturally, it was impossible for Jiang Ming and others to find her trail.

In the matter of stealing things, Marisa can be quite proud to say that she is a professional level.

"Don't look, he's already slipped away. That guy is very sharp. As soon as Virgil turned around, she ran away immediately. I guess it's not an ordinary person. I suspect it's a professional thief with superpowers or something."

Dante waved his hand and said, apparently not intending to delve into this matter.

"Could it be provocative, why don't you find that guy out and teach him a lesson?"

The grumpy Nero immediately proposed.

"Well, at least you have to find out why you came to us, but you can get rid of Dante and Virgil's perception, which proves that you have a little bit of ability. I think about it, why don't we disperse and see if we can get this The guy was brought out?"

A little bit, Jiang Ming also became a little interested, and simply tried to propose it.

"In other words, it is equivalent to a game between cat and mouse?"

Dante, who was just strolling around the memorial hall with little interest, became obviously interested.

"It's better to describe it as a fox hound or a hunter and prey, but it's not too much difference."

Jiang Ming who said this, glanced at the crowd behind him again, but still did not find any trace of any suspicious person.

The tourists who came and went were either talking to each other, or quietly watching these ruins and mechanical wreckage, and took out their mobile phones to take group photos.It is obviously not easy to find the follower among these people.

But that's why it's interesting, isn't it?

"Dante and Virgil, you have to go separately. Since the other party can escape the moment Virgil finds him, it proves that he understands the strength of the two of you. So if the two of you stay together, the other party will never show up of."

"Nero and Ms. Ji Liye, if you can, please go a little farther away, and keep a distance of more than ten meters between me and Fengzi, that's about the same."

"Kamijou and Araragi, spread out back and forth, and watch my gestures."

Between the words, the people who were originally gathered became more and more scattered, and a plan to lure out the stalker and catch him slowly unfolded.

Chapter 180 Six: The game moment between cat and mouse

Have you been discovered?

Passing by a stall and stealing a bag of small biscuits, Marisa, who was observing while eating, vaguely noticed something.

As the former No. [-] thief in Gensokyo, Marisa is not an idiot. After noticing that the group of people suddenly dispersed, separated from each other but not completely separated, she realized that she might have been discovered up.

So, should we run away?

The blond girl thought silently.

Fighting is definitely impossible, and this is not Gensokyo, and there are no such things as spell card rules, so it will not be fun if you really confess your life here.Well, that's right, as expected, it's better to run away.

Even though he said that, his heart was still a little bit ready to move.

The other party clearly put on a posture to lure him to appear, just like a cowboy who issued a challenge. If he left without doing anything, it would be like escaping the opponent's gauntlet, which is quite a shameful behavior.

Ah, just thinking about it like this instantly ignited da★ze!

The blond girl with narrowed eyes was full of fighting spirit at this moment.

What Jiang Ming and others, who tried to lure Marisa to appear and capture her, did not expect that their behavior excited this already competitive girl, and she began to carefully study the big battle to steal the stone. .

First of all, head-on conflict is a dead end, so it must not be done.

The girl who came to a conclusion immediately gave up on continuing to follow Jiang Ming and the others. She was sure that in order to lure her to appear, the group of people would not leave the memorial hall immediately, so she had plenty of time to think about countermeasures.

So the first step is to find a way to lower their vigilance.

My previous stalking was still too obvious, and I was inadvertently noticed by those two powerful beings.Then, next, I have to give up tracking, let them think that I have given up, so as to reduce the vigilance of this group of people and create loopholes.

So, for the next half an hour, neither Virgil nor Dante felt any prying eyes at all.

"Strange, is it too obvious that what we did was discovered?"

Dante, who felt that the fun was gone, was a little depressed.

"Are you scared away? It's really boring."

Virgil shook his head slightly.

"Maybe it was hiding to look for an opportunity, maybe we encountered a very difficult mouse."

Jiang Ming said thoughtfully, and his voice was transmitted to the ears of the two legendary demon hunters through the invisible thread constructed by spiritual power.

[Qi Yushu Manual Wireless Communication Network]

Although the realm of martial arts still failed to complete the breakthrough, the realm of spiritual cultivation can only be suppressed forcibly in order to be consistent with martial arts.But because of the continuous use of spiritual power, Jiang Ming, who has become more and more comfortable with his own power, can already twist the spiritual power into various shapes.If this continues to develop like Virgil's Phantom Blade, it is not impossible to use spiritual power to condense and produce a genuine and stable weapon.

"Spread out a little bit more, let's play on our own. With this communication thread, there is no need to get so close."

Jiang Ming, who said so, walked out of the crowd with Feng Zi, and went to another exhibition site.

At this time, Xiao Wei was hugged by Virgil because she couldn't understand the content of a sign that hung a bit high, and Nero beside her was translating the words that the little girl couldn't understand, and Ji Liye was He took out a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs of the girl who ate some biscuits just now.

Araragi quickly disappeared into the crowd with Oshino Shinobu, while Kamijou Touma and Index slowly browsed the remains of various mechanical civilizations.

Marisa continued to secretly observe everyone's actions.

【Jiang Ming: Speaking of which, we still don't know which one of us this guy is observing】

[Virgil: No matter who is looking at, as long as he is found out, I will let him know the price of offense]

[Kamijou Touma: Uh, if you didn’t do anything wrong and just stalked, there’s no need to make it too bloody. I think it’s better to catch the other party first and ask about the situation. Maybe they want to ask us for help.]

[Aliangliang Muli: Yes, I think so too]

[Oshino Shinobu: Can you stop touching my stomach while talking?Or do you want to touch the lower position? 】

[Nero: WTF?Did I hear some strange speech just now? 】

[Aliangliang Muli: It’s really bad. Is this the excitement of exhibitionism? When you are doing nasty things, you are discovered by your companions, and instead of feeling ashamed, you are vaguely There is a feeling of burning]

[Virgil: Nero, cut me off the line, stop listening! 】

[Dante: Are young people enjoying themselves so much now? I always feel that I have added a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before...]

[Jiang Ming: Don't take the communication I created with spiritual power as an XP communication tool, hey! 】

In the covert communication, the hunters are still carefully discussing how to lure the prey (probably).

Marisa, who was dressed tightly, walked past Jiang Ming as if nothing had happened, only glanced at Jiang Ming's pocket, and then disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

Damn it, why did you wrap the stone with magic power, so that as long as you make a move, you will be discovered immediately, da★ze!

Too cunning, really too cunning, this is completely cheating.

What should I do next?

Marisa, who was hiding in the corner, was spying on Jiang Ming while thinking of ways.

[Aliangliang Muli: So, this newsletter is full of men, so it’s okay to communicate about this kind of problem, right?And everyone’s hobbies are almost the same]

[Jiang Ming: That's just your illusion, okay, and don't make it seem like this is an anonymous communication area of ​​a small website]

[Aliangliang wooden calendar: Mr. Jiang Ming, didn't you marry a petite girl?Also, Kamijou, you are also engaged to a petite girl, and I heard that there is actually a petite girl in your family who also has a crush on you]

[Kamijou Touma: Cough!What are you talking about! 】

Kamijou Touma coughed suddenly, causing Index to show a puzzled expression beside him.
