Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

Just when Conanshan let his guard down, something happened.

His collaborator in the human world suddenly sent him a letter via owl.

Conan-san originally planned to go to the human world on Saturday and Sunday during the school holidays a few days later, but the more he read the content of the letter, the more he felt that there was something wrong.

So, early the next morning, he asked for leave from school through Professor Qiu and came to the human world to understand the situation.

"Why did you come so soon? Do you think there's something wrong?"

Lux, who was dealing with the latest unknown problems discovered in the human world on the front line, was obviously a little surprised that Conanshan arrived so soon.

"Some bad feelings."

Conan's new human intuition has always been very accurate, and this is also to solve the problem as soon as possible and prevent this incident from continuing.

"What is the situation now?"

Conanshan is now in the middle of the human world.

In this region, which can be said to be quite chaotic in some parts, XCOM has established a branch in a prosperous coastal city in the relatively stable southeastern oil country and built the Avengers Tower to monitor the surrounding situation.

At this time, the Avengers in this area were working at full capacity, looking for some abnormal situation that shouldn't have happened.

"No news yet, but if we wait a little longer it should appear, that weird and unclear place."

The strange thing that Lux was talking about was some abnormality that XCOM suddenly noticed less than a week ago.

"That strange place first appeared in the West Continent, on the British Isles, in the suburbs of the British city. At that time, the locals hadn't noticed anything wrong, but as some people approached it out of curiosity and then disappeared, the local police started to pay attention. Even the police sent to search for people in that place all disappeared and could never be found again."

England is one of the world's metropolises, so XCOM naturally has a branch in this city.

Although XCOM did not discover the problem immediately, it paid attention to the incident as soon as the police who were looking for someone disappeared.

However, before this secret military organization could take action, the strange place that was supposed to exist in the northwest suburbs of the British city disappeared and was completely gone.

"This is a photo I took at the time. You can see that there is a road connecting there, and you can also see the outlines of some buildings in the distance. It looks like a small town over there. However, the next day these things disappeared and could not be found anymore. Over there, there was only ordinary undeveloped wilderness."

Search: ㈨牭∠8【ˉ尓←÷④③散邻五 Conanshan lowered his head and looked at the relevant information on the tablet.

The photos taken at that time were very blurry, with an obvious layer of fog covering them, and it was unclear what words were written on the road signs further down the straight road.

"Things didn't end there. On the third day after this strange incident, this strange place suddenly appeared in another area of ​​the Western Continent. Just by looking at the scenery, we can tell that this place is the unknown place that once appeared in the city of England."

Rooks continued to explain.

"We discovered the problem almost immediately and stopped the police from going deeper, but we were still a little late. Some unlucky local residents had already disappeared inside."

After discovering that the mysterious place with unknown conditions had reappeared, XCOM immediately took action.

Of course, the XCOM troops sent to the area did not approach the place that seemed to be always in thick fog. They first tried to establish radio contact with the town that should exist deep inside.

Then, they actually got in touch.

"It's just that there's no response from the line over there. No matter how we call, we can only hear the echo of radio silence."

"A town in the fog where you can never return? It's like it's haunted..."

Conanshan was frowning at this time.

He always had a familiar feeling about the current problems and the unknown places buried in the fog that the sunlight could not penetrate.

But since there weren't enough clues, he couldn't determine what kind of weird thing had been sewn in.

Anyway, even judging from the current situation, it is a very terrible, unidentified anomaly that is eating people without leaving any bones.

"If it's really haunted, it would be fine if we purify it with a few holy lights. Otherwise, we can use necromancy to control and suppress it. It's very easy to deal with. However, this strange moving area is very abnormal."

As the chief magic consultant of the human world, Lux naturally received the relevant news very quickly, and was then asked by the higher-ups to provide advice and help.

Of course there was no way Lux would refuse. The things he had on hand were basically finished. Even if there were some minor problems left, he could safely hand them over to Berkman, the super veteran.

"After I accepted the mission, I rushed to the scene as quickly as possible. However, when I arrived, the strange place where the search was supposed to stay for a whole day suddenly disappeared and could no longer be found."

Rooks soon noticed a problem.

That strange place that moved in the fog seemed to be avoiding him.

To confirm this, he rushed to the place as soon as the strange place appeared again.

It can only be said that as expected, as soon as he approached, the area that seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow retreated silently again.

"This unknown strange place has been moving eastward, so it is easy to guess its location. At that time, I could say I was lying in ambush. I planned to approach it actively, but I was still discovered and failed. That thing left me."

Although the unknown place had only appeared twice before, the places where it appeared were all large cities with a population of over 10 million.

Therefore, XCOM's experts and think tanks logically speculated that the unidentified abnormal area discovered at the moment would first approach those densely populated areas.

In fact it is.

Xianxun: The descendants of the Sarkozy family are still alive and well

"There may be someone controlling that area, so they would retreat as soon as they noticed my presence. However, since everyone knows I'm there, that place will continue to show up unyieldingly. This is unreasonable."

According to the latest speculation, under the influence of Lux, that mysterious place that has remained unknown since then should appear in this prosperous coastal city in the central part of the country if nothing unexpected happens.

"If that place appears again this time, I will not continue to approach it in order to prevent it from retreating again. I sent my reliable subordinates to try to approach it. Although it is definitely dangerous, it should be no problem with their abilities."

Since it is difficult to accurately predict where the strange place will appear, and in order to avoid alerting the enemy, it would be difficult for Lux to set up a dragnet in the city even if he had the ability and time.

In view of previous experience, even with his strength, he could not stop the departure of that strange place, so he could only resort to this last resort and let others take the risk.

"I don't quite understand what's going on in that place. I don't feel any magic there, but it makes me feel very uncomfortable. It shouldn't be an illusion, and it doesn't look like the work of aliens either..."

This is the conclusion that Lukes finally came to.

"Perhaps, the strange place we are investigating now was created because of the magic tide in the human world."

"I knew it……"

Ke Ci⌒∶蝟§⌒4折Purchasing agent:⑼『死←＇八耳㈣叁san裬[¤Wu Nanshan felt that this should be the fact.

"The magic tide caused by the alien green meteorite may not even be an opportunity. The magic tide is probably inevitable. It's simply because of the difference in the conditions that caused the magic tide in the first place... This is a trial that will cause death for the savior of mankind..."

162 Mist Land

After nightfall, just as XCOM's experts and Lux ​​had speculated, an unknown and strange area buried deep in the fog appeared.

This place appeared suddenly without any warning.

The strange place suddenly connected the road to the edge of the city.

It's like this place was supposed to be here from the beginning.

After XCOM discovered the problem, it naturally took action immediately.

Perhaps because his own power is too strong, Lux is feared by the strange places. Now he can only sit in the Avengers Building and monitor the situation in the command room.

Of course, when necessary, he would immediately cross space to help his subordinates.

Conan-San also stayed in the Avengers Tower and did not request to participate in the front-line operations.

Before he figured out the situation, he thought it would be better for him not to cause more trouble.

Because of his intuition, he warned the action team before they set out to be careful and it would be best not to rashly step into that place.

The troops going to carry out actual combat in this exploratory operation should be aware of what is going on, but what needs to be said still needs to be said.

This time, the combat force is not only composed of the usual super soldiers, but also has several magic advisers following them.

Among them, there is a paladin who is good at holy light.

That is Marlene Schultz, one of Rooks' right-hand men.

This female paladin, who looks extremely hot from any angle, should be able to handle the situation.

As for Damon West, another capable assistant of Lux, after the previous Heroic War ended, he continued to do his old job, which was to hide in the dark and carry out various investigations and tasks. It was usually difficult to see him.

Rooks did not specifically recall Damon for this operation.

If Marlene fails in this battle, there will be no need for Damon, and Lux ​​will definitely go out on his own.

"Command room, we have arrived at the target location."

Less than ten minutes later, XCOM's super soldier unit arrived on the scene.

Seeing the images captured by the various receiving equipment on the troops, Conanshan couldn't help but frown.

On the big screen in the command room was a gloomy road leading to an unknown place.

On this road, there are trees on both sides whose species you can't tell clearly.

Further down the road, on the left, there is a road sign with unclear text on it.

Then, behind all this, there were vague shadows shrouded in fog.

　There are some shadows and outlines of buildings over there, which makes it vaguely possible to tell that there should be a town there.

But it's all the same, it's all unclear.

If you want to see clearly, you probably have to step onto that road and go deeper into it.

"Got it. We can see clearly here. There is no problem with the communication. Let's start the next plan."

Lux, who was in charge of the command mission, wasted no time in announcing the start of the operation.

"Marin, use all your strength to emit holy light and blast away the ghost thing in front."

"Yes!"

Rooks' plan was simple and crude.

Since going deeper into it might be dangerous, and you might get lost or swallowed, then use the purest violence to open it.

The fully armed female paladin Marin raised the sledgehammer in her hand high and called for holy light.

"Holy light!"

It seemed as if an endless holy light burst out from the body of the female paladin who was wearing a full body armor that did not highlight her figure but was able to attract attention.

Marlene seemed to have turned into a small sun on the ground. She released the surging light power in her body, trying to break through the shadow of the strange place in front of her, dispel the fog, and then completely purify the area.

However, the accident happened the next second.

Just as the radiance of holy light burst out, a strong reaction occurred in the strange unknown area.

From the depths of an unknown place, a larger amount of shadowy fog surged out.

These waves of fog completely covered the XCOM troops standing on the edge of the strange area and swallowed everyone in.

XCOM's command lost all contact with the troops on the scene.

Without thinking, Lux immediately used teleportation magic to go there.

Conan-san followed.

"........."

However, when the two arrived at their destination accurately, there was nothing left at the scene.

Here, the dozen or so XCOM super soldiers were nowhere to be found, nor were the five magic advisors, including Marlene, who were with the team.

Ahead, there was only a barren stretch of sand dunes, without any flat roads or trees, let alone the outline of a city shrouded in the fog.

It seemed that Lux, who always had a smile on his face, became expressionless at this moment, and his expression became increasingly gloomy as time passed.

"……Nothing at all."

After arriving here, Lux has used many kinds of invisible and intangible magic in succession to search for his companions and subordinates.

However, he could not find anything.

Even though he had his subordinates bring a variety of magic items to deal with different situations before setting off, they were still unable to sense or connect.

It's as if everyone has disappeared from reality.

"Ke, did you find anything?"

Rux took a deep breath.

He couldn't smell anything.

However, even without using any magic to control his emotions, he quickly calmed himself down.

"No……"

After Conanshan came here, he always had a lingering feeling of discomfort.

However, he was sure that the strange moving unknown place they were investigating was no longer there.
