Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

"Your daughter is still under the car." He patted the woman's back and said softly. "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere. Take your daughter and let's go into the room together. In exchange, I need some information from you, the "local person".Again, I will keep you safe "in the meantime". "

"daughter……!"

Most of the words were incomprehensible, but the young woman had an instinctive reaction to the word "daughter."

She woke up like a dream, let go of Loki's coat, and unaware of the power that came out of there, she rolled and crawled towards the place where her daughter was hiding.

When she saw that her daughter was safe, she was already crying.

Loki looked at the seemingly touching scene, sighed helplessly, walked to an empty clothing store next to him, melted the handle with his own ability, and pushed open the door.

"If you want to cry, why don't you come first?"

He glanced at the street corner, two black giants with big mouths were slowly approaching.Like the smell of human beings, like the group of Byakies, they want to have a full meal.

"If humans can't save themselves, even the gods can't save you, right?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran towards Loki's position with her daughter in her arms.

Inside the door is a clothing store with very ordinary decoration.

Several silver hangers are hung with popular styles of clothes, both for men and women, and the store is very spacious.

But it may be a problem of bad business. Today's store manager has no plans to open a store to do business. Thanks to this decision, Loki did not see any traces of people or monsters in the store.

Well, it's great not to have to do it... Loki found a bench and sat down, and made a "please" gesture to the woman who was disturbed by the unknown black giant circling outside.

"Do it, this is already my domain," said Loki. "Either sound or smell, your traces will not be exposed. Now, let's have a good chat."

He already understood Kesma's words somewhat.

The longer he stayed in this small town, his strength was weakening almost every second. Although the magnitude was not very large, Loki knew that in ten hours at most, he would completely fall from the altar and become air. The most common etheric magic in .

Once the "Myth", the source of the gods, is set up, there is almost no need to say what will happen.

——The caster of this terrifying spell must be resolved within this time.

However, given that his power is limited and cannot be wasted arbitrarily, and Loki is not good at probing, he can only probe according to the clues given by the other party to determine the exact location of Kesma.And he had to move fast. If Kesma was a step ahead and used the time he bought to get what he wanted to do, it would be quite bad for Loki.

It can make mortals have no fear of the god of disobedience, without even thinking about it, it must be a big killer.

"Ma'am, what's your name?"

"Anna Levin."

After reporting her name, Anna took her daughter to be opposite Loki.

The young daughter is surprisingly well-behaved, neither crying nor making a fuss. She doesn't look at the scene outside the window at all, and instinctively knows what terrible things will happen if she turns her head.

Anna spoke with a little restraint and fear. "...Sir, are you a magician?"

It is impossible for ordinary people to emit such flames. Even though Anna has become the mother of a five-year-old child, at least she still knows something about fantasy novels or movies.

- A power user, or a magician.

The more unbelievable the more truth, the monsters in the novels appear in reality, even if Loki said he was the god Anna might try to believe it.

In this small town, common sense has collapsed.

"Ma'am, you think it's true, then it's true."

Loki didn't mean to explain too much, and embodied a notepad and pen in a burst of fireworks.

"Mrs. Anna, if I ask you next, you must answer carefully as a reward for saving you, otherwise our transaction will be terminated immediately, and I will not help the monsters outside."

"Ah?...Yes!" Feeling the seriousness in the boy's words, Anna raised her spirits.

If she and her children want to survive in this kind of hell, they can only rely on the teenager in front of them.

"Um..." Loki asked after thinking for a while. "In Avosta, are there any underground rivers or sewers in the northwest? I mean the ones that are wide enough for people to hide, not to mention the usual sewage treatment. Then take the shortest journey from here to where tell me."

With his priesthood of "wisdom", the two clues that Kesma gave out of his mouth could not be called a "guessing game" at all, and were so simple that Loki was bored.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know the terrain of Avosta, I'm afraid Loki would have found Kesma right away.

This is probably also the other party's intention——just for "time".

Venus, like the sun, is a star that is east in the morning and west in the afternoon.Humans can see Venus shining only at sunset, so Kesma's exact direction is west.The "Styx" is the river that transports souls in the underworld in ancient Greek mythology. According to people's understanding, the underworld is a world under the earth, so the "Styx" has another name for "underwater".

The correct answer is "in a sewer to the northwest"... Loki knew the answer to the puzzle, but sighed.

He yearned for the endless puzzles and gripping tensions of Edgar Allan Poe's novels, too simplistic that made Loki uncomfortable.

Use puzzles as pedals for combat, careless props for killing...

Really boring character.Loki thought regretfully.

Chapter [-] Grim, Elegy of Twilight

"About three...?"

Anna desperately tried to remember.

People didn't have much interest in what was under their feet, and Anna only vaguely remembered it because she played there when she was a child. It was too embarrassing for her to tell the exact number.

"What about the specific location?" Loki took this note, not caring about Anna's ambiguity.

When he got to the site, he had some way of confirming which was Kesma's hiding place.
