I loaded the dream game

But the next moment, a red light came again and blocked her retreat.

"Until you confirm that the other person is truly dead, do not let your guard down in any case..."

The boy's voice sounded in her mind again. The girl bit her lip lightly, feeling annoyed.

"Noisy!"

Little doll: “???”

I'm the one who's going to be hacked to death, but you're shouting "It's so noisy". Isn't that a bit too much?

"Hua La La 3.2——"

The next moment, just before the blade of the sword was about to touch the little doll, accompanied by the sound of chains colliding, a string of golden chains fell from the sky and tightly bound the sword in the girl's hand.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you hurt her..."

At the same time, a voice full of strange tones sounded.

The girl was startled and turned around the moment the voice came.

As far as the eye can see, at the end of the destroyed street, there is a tall man floating.

The pure white suit that was somehow not affected by the red clouds behind him, and the slender handsome man wearing the same pure white shirt, whose outline seemed to become blurred if touched, seemed to exist in a fantasy world.

"Nice to meet you, little friend."

The visitor said this with a smile.

"Then, goodbye..."

Chapter 293: Can you protect your home?

Ah this...

Looking at the translucent virtual panel in front of him, Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.

He remembered that when he first started this task, the progress was still 98%, right?

There are so many things happening in a city every day. Bumps and bruises, buildings being torn down and rebuilt, streets being damaged and repaired, these are all inevitable. Unless an "indestructible" setting is added to the entire city, it is understandable that the integrity cannot be maintained at 100%.

But... in just over a month, the completeness has dropped from 98% to 92%. Is there something wrong?

Xia Zhi thought about it and realized that there didn't seem to be any natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, gas explosions, space pirate invasions, etc. in this city recently?

How did these six percentage points drop? Could it be that the demolition team in this city was extremely efficient, working overtime and hard, and successfully completed the task of demolishing several blocks in just one month?

I am puzzled about the summer solstice.

Then, he seemed to suddenly realize something.

Wait, could it be that...

Xia Zhi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the data network function of his mobile phone for the first time in a long time.

Although the network he is living in now is not as developed as the real world, the basic 3G network still exists... Soon, with the help of Hughie's modification and additional functions on the mobile phone, Xia Zhi easily connected to and invaded the network of this world.

Then, looking at the three words "Karakura City" displayed on the location, Xia Zhi fell silent again.

...No, who are you?

In Xia Zhi's subconscious mind, Shana, the lost child at midnight, and even the words "Ogawamachi" that he heard at the beginning should be tied to Misaki City. Coupled with the hints of the main task later and the major role that the city in his memory occupied in the original plot, Xia Zhi subconsciously thought that the dream game should directly drop him into Misaki City.

But now it seems...

"..."

After a long silence and searching the map for more than ten minutes, Xia Zhi put down his phone, looked up at the empty ceiling, and finally admitted a fact that he was reluctant to admit -

It seems like I... have guarded the wrong house?

……

"boom--!"

A light white flame exploded, and a petite figure flew out from the exploding flame and landed in a shop not far away.

"Did he get away..."

The man's eyes fell on the golden chain in his hand.

The Bubble Chain, one of his most commonly used Noble Phantasms, can render the opponent's Noble Phantasm ineffective, tightly absorbing and wrapping it around and destroying it.

Although she failed to successfully destroy the opponent's Noble Phantasm due to unknown reasons, she still restricted the opponent's movements by restraining him... However, at the last moment, the girl decisively chose to let go of the Noble Phantasm in her hand, and thus barely avoided the subsequent explosion.

“The reaction was quite good.”

He reached out and pulled the chained sword back into his hand, and then an expression of surprise quickly appeared on his face.

"It's actually 'Zhidian Zana'?"

A combat-type Noble Phantasm that negates the power of Noble Phantasms, ignores the Law of Freedom, and is extremely sharp and indestructible... I see. This explains why it cannot be destroyed.

“What an unexpected gain.”

Although it is exciting to obtain a rare treasure, this is not the most important thing right now.

The man's eyes fell on the little doll that was breathing slightly beside him, and a look of pity appeared on his face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, my dear Marianne, that such a terrible thing should happen to you."

As he spoke, he gently held the somewhat broken little doll in his arms and breathed softly to her.

Suddenly, the doll named Marian burned in a pale white light... and then returned to its original appearance.

"Okay, it's back to normal... I'm sorry, I came too late and caused you to get hurt like this."

As he spoke in an off-key voice, he hugged Marianne tightly and rubbed his face against the doll.

Marianne, whose cheek was being rubbed, moved the corners of her torn mouth and answered with a choked voice:

"Master, I am very sorry. I really cannot take your words seriously... But now..."

"Ah."

The man rubbed her head lovingly and turned his gaze to the direction where the girl had flown backwards.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's still an unstable factor after all. Let's just get rid of this Fire Mist Warrior first."

……

"Cough cough..."

The girl pushed away the stone slab that was pressing on her and climbed up from the ground.

"Shana, are you okay?" Alastair's worried voice came from the pendant.

"It's okay...but..."

The girl glanced at her empty right hand and gritted her teeth lightly.

Zhidianzana was taken away...

Although under the circumstances at the time, this could be considered the best option to protect himself, it was, after all, a treasure that was very important to him, so...

"I must take it back!" she thought silently in her heart.

"Be careful, that person might be an enemy at the level of the 'Red World Devil'." Alastor warned.

"I know." The girl nodded slightly.

She knew that a large part of her current strength was dependent on Zhidian Zhana. Without it guiding her flames, her strength would indeed be greatly damaged.

But this does not mean that she can do nothing after leaving Zhidian Zana.

"That's perfect. Since he appeared right in front of me..."

The girl took a deep breath and opened her eyes again, her fiery red eyes fixed on the figure in the distance:

"Then let's destroy them together!"

The next moment, the Red World Apostle in the distance turned around and met the gaze of the Fire Mist Warrior Girl.

Coincidentally, the same thought came to the minds of both parties who were looking at each other -

Eliminate him (her)! .

Chapter 294: Shana with Flaming Hair and Burning Eyes

"Bam—!"

As if to crush the ground, a ball of fire exploded under her feet, and the resulting reaction force pushed the girl's body towards the man.

The flaming flames were flying all over the place, and the blazing red eyes were burning with a scorching light.

Looking at the girl approaching him rapidly, the man was slightly startled, as if he remembered something.

"Flaming hair, burning eyes..."

I see, they are the fire mist warriors of Alastair, the "Heavenly Fire"...

"I didn't expect to have the good fortune to meet the famous "Flame-haired Burning Eyes Killer" here... What an unexpected encounter."

The man smiled and spoke in his usual tone, but there was an extra sense of vigilance and caution in his eyes.

The next moment, the girl rushed in front of him.

Then, he swung the... long sword in his hand?

"!?"

Without having time to think about where the girl got the sword from, the man hurriedly took half a step back and barely avoided the girl's attack.

His melee combat ability was not that strong, and most of his strength came from the treasures he collected.

Logically speaking, facing the Fire Mist Warrior who mainly attacks with flames, the treasure "Blue Sky" he carries that can disperse flames and explosions can give him a great advantage in the battle. But unexpectedly, the girl in front of him did not play by the rules. She actually gave up the fire that she was good at and chose to use swordsmanship directly against the enemy?

Aren't you a Fire Mist Warrior? Show some Fire Mist Warrior mannerisms.

The man frowned slightly and snapped his fingers lightly.

The next moment, countless playing cards appeared out of thin air and flew towards the girl in front of her.

Although the killing power of these playing cards was not strong, the girl quickly reacted and blocked them all with her black coat as a barrier, but it at least bought the man some time.

Taking advantage of this time, he snapped his fingers again.

The next moment, puppets of various shapes and sizes appeared around him.

Although I don't know how the other party knows that fire has no effect on him, but... if you don't use fire, then I'll use it. That should be okay, right?

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang—々¨!”

Light white flame bombs gathered from the puppet's hands and fell around the girl like a rain curtain. A series of explosions sounded, and the dust and flames caused by the explosions directly engulfed her figure.

However, before the man could breathe a sigh of relief, a flash of cold light tore through the curtain of flames and flew towards him with a scorching wind.

He was startled and before he could take the next step, he heard the sound of chains clattering.

A golden chain flew over from the side and accurately knocked the attacking sword away.

After doing all this, the doll named Marian finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the man and asked worriedly: "Master, are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay, my dear Marianne." The man breathed a sigh of relief, gently rubbed the head of the doll in his arms and said, "I am so touched that you care so much about my safety."

"This is my duty, master..." the doll said intermittently.

Although he still had a lot to say, they were still in a battle after all, so the man turned his gaze back to the girl not far away.

"I can see it a little bit..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the hem of his black coat, panting slightly, with several obvious burn marks on his body, but he still took out a new sword from somewhere, took a fighting stance, looked closely at his girl, and said:

"It's not that you don't use fire on purpose... it's that you simply can't use fire freely, right?"

"..." The girl remained silent and did not answer.

But her attitude made the man certain of his guess, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, this is really interesting... the person who signed a contract with the "Heavenly Tribulation Fire" can't even use his own fire?"
