After getting lost in the abandoned village, they gradually became confused and infatuated

"I didn't listen carefully to the specific distinction at the time. Anyway, there is a special evaluation system."

"As for the shadows that were wandering in the shrine before, they were probably the most ordinary ones."

"One characteristic of ordinary shadows is that they cannot move while digesting food."

"In other words, whatever they eat is digested there."

"so......"

Having said this, the additional miko stopped and then tapped the ground with her toes.

"Your companion is inside this shadow."

Although the surroundings are always covered with a layer of haze, it is still daytime after all, and visibility is still guaranteed to be at a minimum.

Kotani Hayabusa could clearly see that not far in front of the toes of the additional miko, there was a dark shadow that was different from other hazy shadows.

The shadow is not big, only as big as a child's height.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary black shadow.

But if you look closely, you can see that the edges of the shadow are squirming slightly.

Optics Valley Falcon walked over and stepped on the shadow with his foot.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow's movement immediately became violent.

The additional miko's eyes widened and she quickly added.

"what!"

"Oops!"

"Forgot to tell you!"

"Shadow hates being stepped on!"

"Once someone steps on it..."

"They will become violent and swallow anyone who steps on them whole..."

The priestess was only halfway through her words when Kotani Hayabusa felt a softness under his feet, as if he had stepped in a mire.

Then, before he could react, the shadows on the ground splashed high like mud blown up by a bomb, and then completely enveloped him.

"Depend on!"

"Such an important thing!"

"Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Optics Valley Falcon cursed at the top of his lungs.

But the sound could no longer be transmitted, and everything around him became dark and deep.

Soon, everything disappeared into nothingness.

The hair-raising witch looked at the shadow that had regained its composure and scratched her head in embarrassment.

"I never thought that you would just step on it!"

"After all, this thing is so dangerous, no matter what you think about, you should observe it first before taking action!"

However, if more miko are issued, they will also not be able to be transmitted to Kotani Hayabusa.

There was only silence.

The hair-increasing miko had a sad look on her face, squatted down, repeatedly checked the shadow's condition, and finally scratched her hair helplessly.

Mitsuya Hayabusa used his actual actions to explain what it means that plans cannot keep up with changes.

Before I issued the new shrine maiden, I had been thinking about it. After settling the matter at the shrine, I would use the power of Kotani Hayabusa to say goodbye to this useless village.

I even thought about where to go after going out.

As a result, Mitsutani Hayabusa was swallowed by the shadow as soon as he entered the shrine.

Along with it, her beautiful vision was extinguished before it even started.

The additional miko made a desperate sound.

"Ouch!!!"

"It's over, it's over!"

"This is how to do ah......"

"The bloodline successor of the Guanggu family was actually eaten by the shadow..."

"How should I explain it to Ruonv!"

"It's over, it's over!"

"what!!!"

“Why do all these bad luck happen to me!!!”

Not only will crying not solve the problem for her, but it will be counted against her time.

The longer she cries, the more dangerous the Optics Valley Falcon becomes.

After the initial crying, the additional shrine maiden also realized this fact.

After calming down for a while, the additional miko stood up and glanced at the wriggling shadow on the ground.

Additional witch: "..."

After a brief silence, the additional miko directly raised her right foot and stamped it hard.

shadow:"???!!!"

The force of this kick was so strong that it crushed the wooden floor of the corridor.

"Since the Optics Valley Falcon has been swallowed, I can only risk my life to accompany him!"

The additional miko gave a sweet shout, and then stepped hard with her right foot.

The powerful force caused the shadow on the ground to explode on the spot, and then turned into countless tiny fragments like raindrops.

Like a torrential downpour from below, the additional miko was drenched in an instant.

It’s the same as before with Mitsuya Hayabusa.

The shadow expanded violently, completely covering her.

Eventually, everything calmed down.

Chapter 186 The World in Shadows

In the long darkness, even the concept of time was completely erased.

Optics Valley Falcon only felt that he was falling rapidly.

I don’t know how long it took, but the world in front of me suddenly became brighter.

When he instinctively opened his eyes, he found that he was floating thousands of feet high in the sky.

After a brief period of calmness, under Newton's pleased eyes, it went straight to the ground with a free fall acceleration that conforms to physics.

"Eh?!"

"Eh?!!!!"

"I rely on!!!!!!"

"What's going on!!!!!!"

Optics Valley Falcon screamed and struggled, but to no avail.

I could only watch helplessly as I fell faster and faster, until finally I couldn't even open my eyes.

Goodbye, this world.

Optics Valley Falcon closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the judgment of fate.

However, time passed by one second.

The tragedy he imagined did not happen, and the surrounding wind gradually became quieter.

Optics Valley Falcon tentatively opened his eyes.

Then he discovered that he, who was supposed to be smashed to the ground and become pieces here and there, was actually suspended half a meter above the ground.

"Eh?"

"What's the matter?"

Some kind of invisible force slowly straightened him out.

The moment his feet touched the ground, the power dissipated without a trace.

Everything just happened was like a dream.

The place where the Optics Valley Falcon landed was a lush farmland.

Pieces of immature wheat swayed in waves with the breeze.

In the distance are green mountains, and nearby are gurgling streams.

There are farmers working hard in the farmland, and there are also old farmers wearing straw hats and carrying poles walking back and forth on the paths in the fields.

The warm sunshine shines on the earth from the slow-moving white clouds.

The blue sky makes people feel relaxed, beautiful and comfortable, just within reach.

The warm and gentle wind blew his hair.

Everything in front of me was so peaceful, like a paradise in the world.

"This... where is it?"

Optics Valley Falcon looked around blankly, unable to see any signs of identification.

I always feel that this place is a bit familiar, but after taking a closer look, I don’t know where this feeling of familiarity comes from.

When the Optics Valley Falcon landed just now, it made so much noise that no one working in the fields noticed him.

He tried to talk to the old farmers around him, but they were just like the NPCs used to fill up the richness of the map in the game and ignored him at all.

Even if the Optics Valley Falcon blocked their way, these old farmers would just walk around blankly and continue with the work at hand.

No one could ask questions, and Guangtani Falcon didn't know where to go. All he could see were wheat fields.

After standing there for a long time with nothing to do, the Optics Valley Falcon had no choice but to explore freely along the field path.

Fortunately, at the end of the field road, there is a very quaint village and town.

Maybe you can make some new discoveries there?

While traveling along the way, the Optics Valley Falcon has been observing the surrounding environment and some landform features.

For example, the arrangement of the surrounding mountains, the location of the streams, etc.

The familiar feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Finally, when he arrived at the entrance of the village, all the familiar feelings finally had their answers.

An old red-painted torii gate stands at the entrance of the village, and three wooden signs are hung scatteredly on the crossbar, swaying in the breeze.

And on the three wooden boards, there are three large characters carved crookedly.

Jixiang Village.

"This...is actually Jixiang Village?"

Jixiang Village, where Optics Valley Falcon is located, is surrounded by white mist, dilapidated buildings, and full of gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

It is the unremitting efforts of Optics Valley Falcon and Wangxiang's companions that have restored a little bit of vitality here.

But the Jixiang Village in front of you is warm and sunny, full of vitality, and it is more like a beautiful new world like a paradise.

It is difficult for Optics Valley Falcon to associate these two places together.

The brain is working rapidly, analyzing the current situation based on what it has seen and heard before.

Then, an absurd but reasonable conclusion was drawn.
