Chapter 291 Summer Solstice: Is there something wrong?

"So, you just let her go?"

Sitting at the dining table, Yang Noi glanced at the empty seat next to her, let out a light breath, then looked at the boy opposite who was concentrating on the fried eggs on the plate and asked.

"if not?"

Xia Zhi was careful not to break the runny fried egg on the plate, and replied nonchalantly: "I can't just say she has something to do and is leaving, and I force her to stay... Illegal detention is against the law.~"

But then again, although the freedom of human physical movement is protected by law, but...

A thought suddenly popped up in Xia Zhi's mind: the law has a scope of application and applicable objects, and the expansion of legal personality has limits. The law that protects people cannot be applied to non-human animals. Then, in the same way, can the law that applies to "people" be applied to "Fire Mist Warriors"?

In other words, can the Fire Mist Warrior, who is separated from social existence and to some extent above normal laws, still be recognized as a normal legal personality?

Xia Zhi fell into deep thought about this contradictory issue that runs deep into the bottom of the world's society.

"I told you to comfort her last night. Is this the result of your comfort?"

Looking at the boy who was inexplicably in a daze, Yang Nai sighed slightly and continued, "Don't you see that she is just avoiding you?"

"Hiding from me? Why?" Xia Zhi came back to his senses, was slightly stunned, looked at her in confusion and asked.

"Yeah, why?" Yang Nai tapped her chin with her hand, deliberately showing a puzzled expression, then blinked at Xia Zhi and said, "As for the answer to this question, you can only find it yourself... or how about asking the person directly?"

...So, the one I hate the most is the Riddler.

"Sure enough, compared to her, Yukino is more likable..." Xia Zhi sighed softly and muttered softly.

"Hmm? Did you just say anything?"

"It's just that after comparison, I deny your charm."

"Ah, this is really rare..." Yang No's voice was filled with curiosity: "I'd like to know who is the person who is more attractive to you than to me."

"Well..."

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi replied: "I won't tell you."

"..."

Ignoring Yang Nai, Xia Zhi swallowed the last fried egg whole and wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table.

Come to think of it, I haven't paid attention to the progress of the task for a long time?

Although he didn't think anything could happen in Misaki City under his protection, Xia Zhi thought about it and still opened the task panel to confirm.

then……

[Main Mission 90: Before the "Nothingness Realm" appears, ensure that the integrity of Misaki City is always above %]

[Current target completeness 92%/90%]

Summer Solstice: “???”

……

"Is it really okay to just leave like this?"

Walking on the busy street, the pendant on the girl's chest emitted a questioning voice.

"What's wrong with that?" The girl ignored the people passing by her, as if they didn't exist, and "talked to herself" in a nonchalant tone.

"Let's not talk about the fact that you haven't yet fully learned how to master your own power... There's still no conclusion to the matter of the lost child at Zero Hour. It's a bit worrying that you left halfway like this."

"There's nothing to worry about."

As the girl spoke, she turned into a roadside bakery and while selecting bread, she replied nonchalantly, "Isn't there someone guarding the lost child at midnight?"

"Given his relationship with that Mistis, he should... no, he will definitely protect her, right?"

"..." Alastair heard the unnaturalness in the girl's tone, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Did...something happen between you two?"

"No!" the girl answered immediately and decisively.

"Really do not have?"

"No! What could possibly happen between me and that guy?"

"But... I haven't even mentioned who it is yet."

"..." The girl was choked for a moment, then shook her head vigorously and said irritably: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with him!"

· ········Request flowers··· ··

"that……"

A timid voice came from the front of the girl. She looked up and saw the saleswoman behind the counter looking at her cautiously. She reminded her in a low voice: "If you don't want to buy it... could you please not knead the bread?"

"..."

Looking at the bread in her hand that had been squeezed beyond its original shape, the girl blushed slightly, took out a banknote from her pocket and slapped it on the counter: "This, I'll buy it."

"Ah? Oh..."

"And pack up the pineapple buns over there, too."

"...This is so much, can you finish it?"

"Present it!"

"Yes!"

……

The girl came to the park with a big bag of bread, found an empty bench and sat down. She couldn't wait to take out a pineapple bun that had just come out of the oven and was still steaming.

. . 0

"slim Shady……"

The long-lost sweet taste filled her taste buds, and the girl couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.

Sure enough, although the food made by Mississippi was also delicious, the taste of pineapple buns was irreplaceable.

The girl was thinking in her heart, and a figure appeared in her mind again.

If this taste can make him...

No, no, why am I thinking of him again?

The girl shook her head irritably, put the remaining bread into her mouth in a few bites, chewed it and swallowed it.

"Shana, you noticed it too, right?"

After the girl finished her "lunch", Alastair, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.

"……Um"

The girl nodded, looked at the flattened bread left in the paper bag, hesitated for a moment, closed the bag, wrapped it up, put it back into the inner space of her black coat, and raised her head again to look at the strange city in front of her.

"That salesman just now... was Torch."

Not only that.

"There seem to be an unusually large number of torches in this city."

The girl recalled the scenes she saw after coming to this city, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

...What happened in this city?

Chapter 292 An unusual city

A very simple logic:

Ordinary people cannot control the power of existence. There may be some special exceptions, but in most cases, only the Red World Apostles and the Fire Mist Warriors can set torches.

The Fire Mist Warriors do not need to draw power from the outside world to maintain their own existence. What's more, their mission is to maintain the balance of the world. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will actively destroy existing existence and then set up torches as a replacement.

It is easy to infer that if a torch is found in a city, it can only be the work of the Red World Apostles.

As for the purpose, in most cases it is to avoid being noticed by the Fire Mist Warriors about the distortion of the world and being hunted down, so they choose to use the "torch" as a buffer for the distortion of the world, so as to confuse the perception of the Fire Mist Warriors to a certain extent.

But the current situation of "110" is a little different...

"Too many," the girl murmured softly.

"Yes, that's too many." Alastair echoed.

From the comparison of the new torches encountered along the way today and the burning of the old torches that are about to disappear, it is easy to infer that the number of torches in this city is much greater than imagined.

This is not a normal situation. Unless a single Red World Apostle has settled here for a long time, it is impossible for him to have such a big appetite.

However, if you just want to eat, use, and play with power, you can go anywhere in theory. If a large number of torches gradually disappear in the same place, the distortion of the world will also expand, thus attracting the attention of the Fire Mist Warriors. Therefore, under normal circumstances, ordinary "Apostles" will not choose to settle in one city for a long time.

In other words, we can think about it the other way around. No matter what the situation is, since he dared to set up so many torches at the risk of being discovered by the Fire Mist Warriors, it means that the guy must have some special purpose.

"Be careful, Shana." Alastair warned.

Abnormal situations represent abnormal risks. Since the opponent is not afraid of the danger of being discovered by the Fire Mist Warriors, it means that the opponent is confident to some extent that he can deal with the Fire Mist Warriors... In any case, it is always right to be careful.

"I know..." The girl nodded, but suddenly seemed to feel something, and she raised her head and looked into the distance.

In her sight, a dark red space descended from nowhere, and the burning flames turned into an insurmountable boundary, separating existing things and cause and effect.

This familiar power is called...

"Seal it?"

The girl's eyes flashed, and she quickly wiped the bread crumbs from the corner of her mouth and held the Zhidian Zha tightly in her hands.

then……

As the flying fire powder drifted, her soft waist-length hair had already turned into a fiery red color, and her originally black eyes seemed to be burning, filled with scorching flames.

"Bam—!"

As if intending to crush the ground, a ball of fire suddenly exploded under the girl's feet, and her petite figure turned directly into a stream of fiery red light, rushing towards the direction of the distant Feng Jue.

……

In the dark red space, all things in the world have come to a halt under the power of the law of freedom that cuts off cause and effect, except for one "object" that can continue to move.

"I'm starting~"

The huge ugly doll monster opened its mouth happily as it looked at the pile of "food" in front of it, which was piled up like dishes neatly arranged in a buffet restaurant, waiting for it to eat.

The next moment, the originally still crowd began to burn violently, and the light blue spiritual fire of existence swayed and turned into a thin thread that was sucked into the mouth of the puppet monster.

"So many, so many~"

As more and more power of existence was absorbed, the light blue spiritual fire on people's bodies began to dim and shrink, and the doll monster made excited sounds.

"But it's not enough... I need more, much more!"

"Well, how about giving this to you?"

As soon as the words fell, a stream of flame flashed across the body of the doll monster, splitting it in two easily.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The doll that had lost half of its body screamed, but no blood flowed out of the cut surface. Instead, it turned into white flames that crackled and scattered.

"The most important thing in a fight is the initiative... No matter how strong you are, or how powerful your moves are, if you are not given the opportunity to use them, it is no different from having nothing."

The girl tightly grasped the sword in her hand, and her mind couldn't help but recall the words someone once said to her.

"No need to hesitate, and don't hold back. Since you've chosen to fight, there is only one goal... Don't give your opponent any chance to react. Smother all uncertainties in the bud."

Although she didn't quite agree with Xia Zhi's theory of "using the ultimate skill to hit the opponent's face directly", the girl still agreed with his following statement.

"If you have already taken the initiative, don't give the opponent a chance to react... even if the opponent is just the weakest "Phosphorus"."

The girl stepped forward, her scorching eyes dragging a stream of light, her flaming hair flying and emitting fire powder, the sword in her hand cut through the air, and the burning flames once again engulfed the screaming doll monster.

However, she did not take it lightly, because...

"Bam—!"

The burning flames suddenly exploded, and a small doll jumped out from it. It had no shoes and no toes. Its skin-colored cotton feet pushed hard on the ground and it retreated backwards at an extremely fast speed.
