Chapter 250 Meeting, Dragon of Hell Valley, Heading to London
August 17, during the meeting.
Facing Lily's gaze, Little Red Riding Hood remained calm. She slowly placed the folded drawing paper on the conference table, covered it with a layer of snow, and then let it float slowly towards Lily.
Lilai still looked down at the ancient English book, but she simply raised her index finger and lightly touched the edge of the drawing paper, and the thin layer of snow mist on it quickly faded away.
She spread out the drawing paper on the table and looked up at Little Red Riding Hood with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"I see..." she said, "No wonder Xiziyue mentioned you to me several times."
Xiziyue, who was wearing a light blue cheongsam and had short black hair draped over her shoulders, was sitting by the window.
As the morning light shone gently, she lifted the cup and took a sip of hot tea, then said, "I told you that this child's magic power is very special, especially similar to yours."
"It's very special, and it's somewhat similar to me."
As she spoke, Lilai spread out the drawing paper and placed it between the fields of vision of Xiziyue and Utena.
"So, have you seen this witch?" Lilai asked indifferently.
"Do not."
Utena shook her head imperceptibly, her face stern and her denial calm.
Xiziyue didn't even bother to shake her head, she just turned her gaze away from the drawing paper in response.
Seeing this, Lilai said without hesitation: "It looks like this is another magical girl who has just fallen into the trap of being a witch."
"Her wand is in the form of a whip," Little Red Riding Hood continued, "and can use the whip to summon some glowing limbs, similar to the tentacles of a squid."
Hearing this, Huijin, who was listening silently, couldn't help but frowned and sighed softly: "Is it so disgusting? I have never seen such a witch."
Shi Naian sat upright and agreed quietly, "Yeah, it sounds like a bad taste."
Kobe nodded and agreed, "Yeah, yeah, she must be a witch with a very dark heart."
Hearing this, Shi Naian felt uncomfortable, as if "it's ok for you to make fun of yourself, but it's too hateful for others to say something like that." So he raised his hand and pressed its beak, "Kobe, don't talk. This is a meeting of magical girls, and there is no room for contracted beasts to interrupt."
"Someone did take a similar photo last night. Although it was only a back view, the features are roughly the same," Xiziyue said. "At the same scene, someone else took a photo of Little Red Riding Hood running away. These two photos can prove that the child did not lie and her information is credible."
As she spoke, Xiziyue summoned a magic book. The pages fluttered and two photos flew out of it and fell onto the table.
Lilai and Utena each looked at the two photos.
The first photo was taken by a passerby, showing the witch's back as she walked into the alley; the second photo was of Little Red Riding Hood fleeing in panic in mid-air, her figure illuminated by neon lights.
Lilai looked at Little Red Riding Hood, and the two pairs of blue eyes stared at each other. After a while, she said, "I understand. We will be responsible for investigating and handling this matter."
Shi Naian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she seemed to have nothing to do with the whole process and she was just a nobody.
Thinking of this, she looked down at the owl in her arms.
She now realized that holding a contracted beast was the most effective cover-up: after all, which contracted beast would allow its magical girl to become a witch and not leave her? Only a contracted beast with a bubble in its head like Kobe would come up with the idea of letting her become a double agent.
"Little Red Riding Hood, how about you live with me for the next period of time?" Xiziyue suddenly asked.
Little Red Riding Hood shook her head: "I refuse."
It would be too easy to be exposed if a deceptive puppet followed Xiziyue around. Not to mention that the puppet had a limited maximum existence time and was flammable and explosive... Besides, these demons and monsters could easily see the clues from her behavior.
Utena said calmly, "The overall situation is very dangerous right now. This is not the time to consider personal wishes. You can stay with Xiziyue and she can protect you."
Hearing this, Lilai looked up from her book and said, "You can follow me. I happen to be free these days."
Hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood leaned slightly and grabbed Huijin's arm to prevent her from shaking it off. Then she suggested to the three people across the table, "How about I stay at Senior Huijin's house these days and not run around. What do you teachers think?"
Seeing this scene, Lilai held her cheek with her hand, holding a strand of silver-white hair between her fingers, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She looked at Huijin from the side, her tone cold but with a hint of amusement: "Wow... our classmate Huijin now has such a good friend?"
"Second Master..."
Before the girl in the Gothic skirt could finish her words, she was interrupted by a loud voice in the classroom.
"Teacher, our Shi Naian is also going to live in Teacher Hui Jin's house!"
Kobe in Schneian's arms raised his wings and spoke like a primary school student raising his hand to answer a question in class.
Schneian clicked his tongue.
Xiziyue glanced at the owl and said, "That's it. You all live in Huijin's house. She will be responsible for protecting you."
"It's better than being separated." Lilai had no objection.
"Do you have any objections?" Xiziyue asked Huijin.
Ashes shook his head: "No."
"What about you?" Xiziyue asked Shi Naian.
"no."
Shi Naian responded with an expression that seemed reluctant, thinking that he really had to obey this time.
Xiziyue put down the slightly hot teacup and said, "There's nothing more to say. Huijin, wait until Jiuzha wakes up, and remember to tell her about this meeting."
"Ah I?"
"Who else would it be?"
"Ok."
"Also...our new friends have arrived, remember to get to know them." Xiziyue said.
Just as he finished speaking, a figure walked into the empty corridor outside the classroom.
She had long blond hair that was almost pale white. Her magic dress was a knee-length plain gauze dress made of expensive gauze, paired with white high heels and a moonstone necklace.
She raised her green eyes, which were as clear as the aurora, and scanned the people present.
[Codename: Magical Girl Yuya]
[Real name: Yuya]
[Strength rating: A]
[Introduction: The strongest magical girl in the Icelandic Alliance branch. Her magic wand is a mutant bow. She is used to turning magic power into arrows and fighting with bows and arrows.]
"Hello." She lowered her head slightly and lifted the hair from her eyes. "I'm Yuya."
Soon after, Little Red Riding Hood, Schnaian, and Ashes were leaning against the iron net on the rooftop.
Shi Naian thought back to the big shots he had just seen in the classroom, and said sadly, "Ah... they were all beautiful and great. A shady little person like me, Shushu, was so dazzling that I couldn't even raise my head."
"They are the three giants of the Alliance and the number one magical girl in Iceland. How can you compare yourself with them?" said the owl. "Don't worry, Schneian. You can do it too!"
"Rat, I just want to find a hole to put myself in."
"How can a girl call herself 'Mouse'?" The owl raised its head, stared at her and said, "Cheer up, Schnee."
Hui Jin listened to the two people chattering and almost smashed the screen. He looked at them coldly from the side and said, "You two are too noisy. Can you be a little quieter?"
"Okay senior."
Schnaian said dejectedly as he silently put tape on the owl's beak.
"Shi Naian, you are abusing your contracted beast!" The owl opened his eyes wide and wanted to say this, but he couldn't speak. He could only raise his hands to cover his wings and speak in a muffled voice.
"The little girls who live in the villa all call themselves 'Mouse', so what am I?" asked Little Red Riding Hood.
"You are a fireball killer, the kind who would burn down someone's entire family if you disagree with them." Shi Naian commented.
"I see."
As she said that, Little Red Riding Hood turned to Ashes and asked, "Speaking of which, Senior, wasn't there a very strange magical girl before?"
"Which one?" "I saw on the live broadcast platform that a magical girl summoned a huge mechanical fortress on the coast of Gujiusicun, and then came to find a person called 'Black Judge'." Little Red Riding Hood said, "Blue Crow also showed up at that time, which shows that the magical girl must be very powerful, right?"
"Oh... you're talking about her." Ashes played with his phone, looking thoughtful, "Magical Girl Yuffie, right?"
"Yes, isn't she coming?" asked Little Red Riding Hood.
"Why did she come?"
"I think she's pretty strong and should be of great help in the battle against the witch." Little Red Riding Hood said. She thought to herself, sister, you're almost turning into a witch, so you should call for help as soon as possible and don't worry about saving face.
"My master said that she might come to help, but it's just a possibility." Ashes said, "After all, that magical girl's abilities and personality are not very stable."
"I think based on this point alone, you have no right to criticize her."
"Long-winded."
"Let's disband." Huijin said, "That damn Kokonoe Sakura finally replied to my message. She didn't even come to such an important meeting. I had to tell her that."
"Maybe she just wants you to tell her alone, Senior."
"why?"
"No reason. Anyway, I suggest you not to go. It's like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth." said Little Red Riding Hood.
"What about you, when will you come to my house?"
"In about two or three days, the Alliance will announce the information about the witch. If she hears the news, she probably won't dare to act rashly like she did yesterday."
"Okay, I'll wait for you then." Ashes nodded, reluctantly agreeing.
"Then I'll be leaving first, senior."
"bye."
"Can you give me a ride? I'm too lazy to fly." Schnaian hugged Kobe and looked up at Little Red Riding Hood.
"No time. Rich kids should just take a taxi."
After Little Red Riding Hood finished speaking, her figure was hidden in the wind and snow and gradually rose up and left.
After dealing with the puppet, Ke Mingye opened his eyes in his bed at home and just in time received the message from Fanquan.
[Anti-dog: Meet up at the Laojingmai Railway Station at 11 a.m. tomorrow.]
【Failed Man: Got it. 】
at the same time.
Ke Yongzhu woke up from his sleep and shuddered violently. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar ceiling. The curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dark. The slightly mottled morning light danced vaguely on the ground below the curtains.
It was clearly a summer morning, but he felt cold all over, as if he was in an ice cave deep in the Arctic, with his hair standing on end.
He huddled on the bed, his back against the wall, his molten-red pupils contracted and erected high.
A few minutes ago, he saw a dragon in his dream.
The dragon lived deep in a hellish valley. As the volcano erupted, it raised its head and spread its huge wings that covered the sky like a curtain, and its roar like a raging fire seemed to tell the world something.
Ke Yongzhu lowered his head and swallowed a mouthful of water.
For a long while, he stared at the bed board and slowly recited a word.
"similar?"
The next day, August 8, 18 a.m., inside the old Jingmai Railway Station.
Ke Mingye, Fanquan and Orange Peel took turns to refresh the card slots with the cards from copy No. 7. Not long after, the ghost train came rushing out of the tunnel and stopped at the side of the platform. Fortunately, only players could hear the noise it made, and only players could see its existence, otherwise there would be one or two weird urban legends in the Beijing Ring Room.
"Set off?"
Ke Mingye turned his head and asked the two people beside him.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, Fan Quan walked into carriage No. 7 carrying a suitcase.
"Why do I feel like this trip is going to be a life-or-death experience?"
Ke Mingye followed behind him and began to speak ill of him.
"It's not as difficult as you think. I will identify the leader of the Revolutionary Evening Bell in the asylum within half a day, make an equal deal with him, and then we will find a way to leave."
Anti-dog words are concise and to the point.
Ke Mingye shrugged: "Okay, I'll believe you this time."
"I've believed him several times." Orange Peel smiled, "Not least this time. Besides, you're just a puppet participating in the operation. The danger is for me and the Cultural Man."
"makes sense."
As they were talking, the two men stepped on the rusty pedals and entered carriage No. 7 of the train.
Ke Mingye looked at the ghost steward who was walking towards him, and before the other party could speak, he said directly: "Hello, we are going to London."
"We have detected two abandoned train stations in London. Which one should we go to?" The ghost attendant held up a map of London.
There are two light spots on the map, representing the locations of two train stations.
"Something closer to Bedlam Asylum."
"Understood……"
Ke Mingye watched the ghost attendant's back as he walked into the next carriage, then he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Orange Peel and Fan Dog who were already sitting in the compartment.
At this time, he received a message from the discussion group.
[Cai Bing: I will use the chat panel to keep in touch with you. ]
[Failed Man: I feel more at ease with a hacker girl as my backup.]
【Orange peel: Please give me more advice. 】
After reading the message, Ke Mingye controlled the puppet to walk into the box.
Fanquan put down the suitcase and said, "It is 11 a.m. Beijing time now. London time is 7 hours behind Beijing time, so when we arrive in London, it will be about 4:15 a.m. local time. It's still dark."
"Then let me confirm. I will go to the home of a caretaker of a mental hospital and knock him out, then take his identity and enter the mental hospital." Orange Peel said, "And you two will intercept a vehicle carrying patients. Spider-Man will pretend to be one of the supervisors driving the vehicle, and Anti-Dog will sneak into the back of the truck and hide among the patients, right?"
"That's right." Anti-Dog said, "To be precise, we all have to take on other people's identities: Spider-Man takes on the role of the supervisor who drives the car, and I take on the role of one of the patients. Then we just need to tie them up in the wilderness for the time being so that no one can find them."
"receive."
"Ah... It was a narrow escape." Ke Mingye sighed, "I advise you to take care of yourself."
Fanquan flipped through the book and said casually, "It's better to say more bad things than to set death flags like 'We'll be together when you come back', 'We'll go traveling when you come back', or 'We'll get married when you come back'."
"Okay, okay, okay. Let's jump into the sea together when we get back."
As he spoke, Ke Mingye turned his head and looked towards the window of the box.
The sky was just getting light, and the view of the Thames River in London was reflected on the train window. Spires of churches, red brick buildings, the Millennium Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, flying birds, the faint sound of bells, and finally, accompanied by a rumbling engine sound, the train entered the dark tunnel again. The whole world was suddenly swallowed up by darkness, like a huge cocoon that wrapped everything in it, and everything was silent.
"Bedlam Asylum. Why do I feel a little uneasy?"
He thought to himself, leaned his head against the window, and sat down with his body tilted. The car swayed slightly, and the dim wall lights in the tunnel illuminated his profile.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
Please give me a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month
