I really only stop

"If you didn't miscalculate the time, there should be some movement at the ceremony site——"

"Ghost, ghost!!!!"

Before Lu Xi's voice fell completely, there was a heart-piercing wail from the direction of the ceremony venue:

"That girl is still walking even with her head off! Oh no! She strangled our companion with her intestines! Oh no! She threw her head and stunned the priest! Oh, oh! No! Don't, don't come here! Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!”

"See?"

Patting the stunned brother on the shoulder, Lu Xi grinned maliciously:

"As expected of the same race, you even howl when you are frightened are exactly the same."

Chapter 256.5 Warm little story before going to bed

"The next thing we have to do is to start the ceremony."

Putting his hand on the activated formation, when he was about to input magic power, soldier A suddenly looked up at the white-haired girl in the cage with her back turned towards her:

"...Are we really going to use such a small child as a sacrifice?"

"What are you talking about? That's [Pure White Witch], this is her fate under the shadow sun."

Miscellaneous soldier B patted miscellaneous soldier A on the shoulder carelessly, and smiled nonchalantly: "Have you forgotten the attitude of the high priest towards the witch? Even such a wise and kind great sage is unwilling to look at her, you What's the point of worrying about it here?"

"..."

Although he heard the words of soldier B, soldier A couldn't help but look at the girl in the cage.

She just turned her back to us, curled up in the darkest corner of the cage.Although her entire face was deeply buried in her arms, her petite body was trembling slightly.

She must be very scared now, right?Being restrained by the formation, everyone around her cast such malicious glances at her.

Unexpectedly, Miscellaneous Soldier A walked up to the cage, and said to the white-haired girl with her back turned towards her as softly as possible:

"Hey, do you have any regrets at the end? Although it is impossible to let you go, I still have no problem passing a message."

"..."

The white-haired girl in the cage did not speak. After shaking slightly for a while, she silently handed out a small note behind her, and then retreated into the dark corner of the cage.

... Alas, poor child.

Miscellaneous Soldier A sighed slightly, and took the note from the gap in the cage - because the formation was designed specifically for Qianqian, others would not be affected.

Treated like this, I wouldn't be surprised what she would write on the note.

After getting the note, Miscellaneous Soldier A did not read it immediately, but looked at the white-haired girl solemnly: "Don't worry, no matter what is on it, I will try my best to help you complete it. Just take it as It's my apology to you."

"..."

In a trance, the girl in the cage nodded slightly. She stretched out her small hand to wipe her face, and then curled her petite body tighter, as if she didn't want others to see her cry because of it.

... No, this is the duty of the shadow sun priest.Kindness... No, [Hypocrisy] is over here, hurry up and perform the ceremony after reading her wish.

Sighing deeply, Miscellaneous Soldier A looked at the content on the note—it was a message written in bright red handwriting:

[My head is missing, can you help me find it? 】

"!!!"

The handwriting on the note was too stiff and rigid. Frightened by the terrifying content, the note in the hand of Miscellaneous Soldier A lost his grip and fell to the ground.

Realizing his gaffe, the miscellaneous soldier A, who became angry from embarrassment, bent down to pick up the note, and cursed softly:

"Sure enough, it's a witch! It's not safe to let people live in the end, so there shouldn't be unnecessary pity just now—eh?"

[wink, wink]

Suddenly aware of the sight from bottom to top, Miscellaneous Soldier A's body froze instantly.

Who, who is looking at me?My colleagues are all preparing for the ceremony, and the witch is quietly staying in that corner. Logically speaking, there should be no one who can look up to me.

...Wait, look up?

Am I not bending over now?How could someone look up at me? !

Finally realizing the huge disobedience, Miscellaneous Soldier A swallowed hard, raised his eyes tremblingly, and looked into the dim cage——

There, a chubby head was quietly placed on the ground, looking at him with a very curious, child-like innocence, but strange eyes like round cat eyes.

Quite coincidentally, at the moment when soldier A looked at this side, the eyes of the two happened to meet. Then, under the terrified gaze of soldier A, the white-haired head grinned brightly:

"【You found it. La~】"

'Woo, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! ! ! ! ! ! ! "

PS: Although it was updated in the morning, someone will see it at night~

Chapter 257 Ku——ke—

"Pfft! Cough-cough-cough!"

It took a long time for Harris, who was punched into the wall by Qianqian's wolf punch, to barely recover.He tried to break free from the wall, struggled for a long time but didn't move a bit.

Compared with the severe pain coming from his body, the surprise in Harris' heart was a little bit more.In his mind, he was actually thinking about the same question as Broca.

Why did that little girl break free from the ceremony suddenly, and even teleported into the temple to punch me? !

How can all this happen? !Even if Qianqian was born with an unimaginably powerful power, it is impossible to escape under the suppression of the ritual formation and several high-ranking priests!

"The answer is actually very simple."

At some point, Lu Xi had already walked in front of Harris, looking up at him.

"From the very beginning, what you took away was not Qianqian."

Under Harris' horrified gaze, Lu Xi said so.

--------------

Time goes back to the night when Broca proposed to let Lucy's team leave.After promising that the little brother would say goodbye tomorrow, Lu Xi got up and went to the kitchen where the three of Nana and Qianqian were.

"Weak Weak Xi~~ You are finally here!!"

Before he could see what was going on here, Celica cried and threw herself into his arms, yelling aggrievedly:

"Nanai and the others are bullying me! I just want to help prepare dinner, but everyone doesn't let me touch the chopping board. You, you come to judge!!"

?

Although it was obvious at a glance that Zerika was pretending to be crying, she could clearly feel the wronged feeling.Therefore, what she said is likely to be true.

Patting Celica's back reassuringly, Lu Xi looked at Nana who was looking puzzled:

"Nanai, it's rare that Celica is willing to help with some housework, so let her help? Anyway, with Cook watching, there shouldn't be any trouble."

"However, Cook is... [not here]."

Nana took out a small handkerchief out of nowhere, and wiped the corners of her eyes sadly:

"It seems that because teaching Celica to cook is too energy-consuming, Cook has fallen into a dormant state similar to suspended animation, and needs to be repaired after returning home before he can move again."

Ah this.

Looking at the grey-white chef doll in Nana's hands who inexplicably revealed [I've tried my best, and the rest will be left to you], Lu Xi was slightly silent:

"...Selika, let's take a break this time. After all, it's not easy for my little brother to work so hard to build a house."

"What! What is the weak Xidangwu? Is it a humanoid natural disaster that can walk?"

Hearing this, Zerika immediately got out of Lu Xi's arms, and puffed out her mouth in dissatisfaction:

"I'm very diligent and skillful, so I must be a good chef. Let's just let it go for today, and next time, I will definitely make delicious food that will make you all dumbfounded!"

Her freshness hasn't passed yet.

"Okay, okay, next time you cook, I'll eat as much as you cook."

Casually comforting Celica, Lu Xi straightened his attitude and cleared his throat slightly:

"Hey, everyone, if there are no accidents, we will leave Hidden Shadow Secret Realm tomorrow."

"Huh?!" X3

"Why, why?!"

To Lu Xi's surprise, after exclaiming, Qianqian was the first to pounce on him:

"Why did Mr. Prey leave? Isn't Qianqian's hospitality not considerate enough? Qianqian will change it! Everyone don't leave, okay?"

The white-haired wolf-eared lady used [Tearful Eyes] to attack!The effect is outstanding!Lu Xi used [Time Stop]!

omitted here.

The effect of [Time Stop] is over!

"Don't worry, Qianqian. You have nothing to do with it."

Rubbing the white wolf-eared girl's hair vigorously, Lu Xi showed a comforting smile:

"However, we are all human beings after all. My little brother is right. If we keep swaggering in the secret realm, sooner or later someone will find out that something is wrong."

"Did my brother say something to Mr. Prey?"

As the holder of [Magic Beast Nature], Qianqian has a natural advantage in judgment and analysis.She instantly found the reason for their departure from Lu Xi's words:

"Brother is too much! Qianqian is going to protest with brother!"

"Don't, don't, I see that the little brother seems to be thinking about something hesitantly, so it's better not to bother him."

Hurriedly stopping the reckless wolf-eared lady who was about to attack the living room, Lu Xi hurriedly persuaded:

"Also, what he said is actually correct. After all, we are not real werewolves. If our real bodies are discovered and conflicts arise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

It is indeed unimaginable.As far as the three-acre land of the Zangying Clan is concerned, if there is a dispute, it is impossible to be bombarded by the hammer of the Holy Maiden or the puppet army of the Lord of Strangeness.

"...Nevertheless, it is too abrupt for Mr. Broca to ask us to leave all of a sudden."

Using a small apron to wipe off the water stains left by washing vegetables on her hands, Nana frowned slightly:

"I have great confidence in Musta's camouflage technology. If we don't take the initiative to speak out, no one will find out our true identity."

This thing doesn't make sense logically.The prerequisite for Lu Xi and the others to step into the shadowy secret realm where strangers are not allowed to enter is [wolf ear camouflage will not be seen through].Conversely, when they have entered the secret realm and even faced the high priest Harris of the secret realm and have not been discovered, the reliability of the disguise has been verified, and there is no possibility of exposure.

"Well, I understand that too."

Lu Xi nodded: "However, this is the hidden realm of the Cangying Clan after all. Since the little brother proposed to let us leave, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

The host has already served tea to see off the guests, so how can the guests sit still and not leave?

Obviously found some inspiration from Lu Xi's explanation, the wolf-eared girl who was enjoying Lu Xi's head-touching killing just now suddenly popped out such a sentence:

"Then, Qianqian is also a member of the Cangying Clan. Does it mean that if Qianqian asks everyone to stay, everyone won't leave?"

"You can't say that, Qianqian."

Yuxia, who has been concentrating on cutting mushrooms since the very beginning, and didn't participate in the conversation even when she heard that Lu Xi was leaving the secret realm, finally put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and said to Qianqian:

"The question now is not [the reason why Broca asked us to leave here], but [why Broca asked us to leave so suddenly]. Speaking of this reason, during the day, Lu Xi and I went to the stone monument to activate the ability Where did Broca go when the

"I remember! He went to that old man who was disgusting!"

Celica immediately raised her hand and replied, "I guess that old man ordered Brother Broca to do this. He deliberately refused to sit on Qianqian's chair. That guy must not be a good person!"

"Although Celica's deduction method is as casual as ever, coincidentally, I also think so this time."

After carefully recalling the light emitted by Shadow Sun, Yuxia nodded:

"There must be some secrets hidden in this secret realm that we don't know, including the reason why Qianqian was isolated by everyone. I'm afraid it's not that simple. If it's not bad, the high priest Harris is the key that can connect all this. "

"...But, even if you know this now, it's useless..."

Nana sighed a little worriedly, because she was greeted with a smile by a stranger after a long time, she still has some good feelings for this secret realm:

"We have already promised that people will leave early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything if we just take advantage of this one night."
