Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

The Black Forest fell silent.

"Just leaving like that? Or are you waiting for the right moment to attack again?"

While Conanshan was thinking, he did not stop moving.

He continued to walk in the direction where he had heard the wolf howling earlier.

He was not afraid of being attacked by monsters. Even if those monsters could not be killed by magic weapons, he did not worry about anything.

He can definitely beat them, but he is afraid of not finding anything.

That's why he would take the initiative to look for monsters in the darkness.

He did not forget the purpose of entering Silent Hill.

The first priority, of course, is to destroy this damn place.

The second goal is to find and rescue the XCOM troops lost in this dream realm.

Since there are no clues and no way to find the rescue target, he can only use the most clumsy method and continue to use force to break through the obstacles in front of him until he finds what he wants.

Conan Shan is not sure whether Silent Hill has its own thinking. Even if this ghost place avoids Lux, it may just be an instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. It cannot be concluded that this place is controlled by a certain existence.

The so-called abnormalities can never be determined by normal logic and reason.

Precisely because the situation in this ghost place is completely unclear, we cannot make any rash judgments.

Conan continued to go deep into the black forest.

And then, it just happened.

He came to a new place.

"........."

Conan-san looked at his current location in silence.

If his eyes were not mistaken, he seemed to be on the playground of a school.

"...Again?"

Conan-san was almost speechless because of this damn place.

I had clearly heard the howling of wolves before, and I thought we were going to have to deal with some wolf-shaped monsters, but after driving away a big bat, the whole process was cut off without a beginning or an end.

Then, he came to this school, which was not sure whether it was an elementary school or a middle school.

Conan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"There's really no logic at all..."

At this time, Conanshan had keenly noticed that his shoes and trouser legs were very clean.

You know, he was walking on the muddy ground with big strides just now, and he didn't use any magic to avoid pollution - besides he didn't have any extra time, he didn't know how to use such magic - his shoes and clothes would definitely get dirty accidentally.

However, he checked and felt with his hands, and found that his shoes and trouser legs were not dirty at all and were very clean.

"Dreamland..."

Conan-san began to wonder if he had fallen asleep.

However, he was sure that he had been awake all the time.

He was not asleep, he was perhaps in a dream, but he entered this place in his awake body.

He didn't fall asleep.

He told himself not to be influenced by external things.

"……Um?"

Conanshan raised his head suddenly.

Just now, he seemed to hear panicked voices inside the school in front of him.

It was not an illusion, it was indeed the voice of a living person.

"Forget it. We have to go in anyway, so it doesn't matter even if it's a trap."

Without any hesitation, Conan-san walked through the school's main gate into the darkness inside.

170 Hide and Seek

Conan-san entered the school's main gate, but before he even walked through the empty entrance, he found himself in a classroom filled with broken tables and chairs.

"Fortunately, I wasn't teleported to some other place..."

Conan-san has already gotten used to the conditions in this damn place.

He was able to remain calm and unhurried about being teleported again.

"So..."

Conan turned his head and looked at the bloody words on the blackboard which was still intact.

The school was completely dark inside, but the bloody words on the blackboard were unusually clear.

"Let's play hide and seek... What the hell?"⑶

"Hide and seek, big brother."

Conan Shan found that he heard the voice of a young girl behind him, so he swung the chainsaw sword in his hand without hesitation and turned around to deal with the enemy who suddenly appeared.

"This new big brother who has just joined the game is really scary."

Conanshan looked at the little girl in red who was smiling sweetly in front of him with an expressionless face.

His weapon penetrated the body of the little girl in red and he was unable to touch her at all.

This shouldn't be happening.

His chainsword is a treasure after all. Even if it is not specifically designed to deal with spirits, it should be able to attack this kind of ghost.

Unless, this cute little girl in red is not a spirit, but some other unknown thing.

"Big brother, the game has begun."

The little girl in red, with black hair that almost reached the ground, smiled brightly.

"If you're found, you'll become a ghost, hehe."

After saying this, the little girl in red disappeared like smoke.

Conanshan carefully used the weapon in his hand and slashed a few times towards the place where the little girl in red had just been.

It was only natural that he found nothing, just heavy air.

"What the hell...it's suddenly become a school ghost story? Hide and seek?"

At this time, Conan Shan felt the wooden floor under his feet begin to vibrate slightly.

There is something unknown approaching in the corridor outside.

Conan-san recreated the magical light source and quickly walked out of the ruined classroom.

He turned his head and looked towards the darkness on the left, the direction where the vibration came from.

At the end of the corridor, he saw a pair of eyes glowing green, with pupils like a beast.

"……cat?"

It was a huge cat's head, a big cat's head that seemed to have turned into darkness and filled the entire corridor.

"Huh? Really? Hide and seek? What language is used in this place?"

When Conan saw the big black cat head, the big cat head rushed towards him with wild laughter.

Chichi chichi!

The big cat's laughter is a beastly laugh that doesn't sound like a human's at all. It's a piercing sound that makes people dizzy when they hear it.

The big cat head that seemed to be darkness itself didn't move very fast. If Conan turned around and ran now, he should be able to avoid it.

However, Conan-san intends to use the treasure in his hand to test the quality of this big cat head.

He stood in place, ready to launch the attack skills of the soul card and the treasure in his hand to deal with the big cat head.

"...run quickly!"

Just before Conanshan was about to come into contact with the big cat head, a panicked voice came from behind.

Conanshan raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned around and ran without thinking, rushing towards the source of the man's voice behind him.

In the darkness on the other side, between the stairs connecting the upper and lower floors, a tall and strong man with empty hands ran towards the upper level with a panicked look on his face.

Conanshan followed the man as fast as he could.

"Hey! I remember you were a super soldier from XCOM, right?"

"Indeed I am... I know who you are, Advisor Conan-san of the Magic Advisory Group!"

Although the man was panicked, he still answered Conan-san while running.

"There's no time to explain now! We can't be caught by the ghost! We'll become a new ghost! Hide first!"

Conan-san glanced down the stairs.

The vibrations from the big cat's head are still getting closer, and this thing will be here soon.

It seems that this big cat head is not restricted to a certain floor and is probably able to move up and down floors.

Conanshan thought about it, pulled out the pyroxene staff hanging on his waist, controlled the angle and direction, fired a few basic pyroxene magic gravels, and then ran away following the man in front.

His magic should be able to hit the huge cat head, but he didn't hear any sound from behind.

There was no sound of magic pebbles hitting their targets or buildings, nor could the big black cat cry out after being hit by magic.

From behind came the strange beastly laughter of the big cat head.

"The attack has no effect?"

Conan-san did not continue to waste energy using magic. He just tried it out. If it didn't work, then it didn't work. At least he knew that the funny looking big cat head was not simple.

"Here! Hold your breath! Keep silent! Turn off the light!"

The super soldier from XCOM who was walking in front took the lead and hid in the tool cabinet at the end of this floor.

"..." ０

Conanshan silently watched the other person's strong figure squeeze into the small tool cabinet.

Obviously, everything in this school is broken. The glass outside the classroom is all shattered. Not many things are intact. I don't know why these large iron cabinets that should be used to store various cleaning tools can actually maintain a certain integrity.

"This operation... Never mind, let's give it a try."

Conanshan knew that the big cat behind him was about to come up, so he didn't waste time. He deactivated the magic light source and hid in the tool cabinet next to him.

There are three tool cabinets at the end of the corridor. No matter what is inside, it is more than enough to hide two people in each cabinet, and there is even one extra space.

That's right, this way of hiding is too obvious and can be easily found out.

Conanshan could clearly hear the tense and heavy breathing of the man hiding in the closet nearby.

Normally, the big cat would not ignore such a sound.

I don't know why this man said he wanted to hide here.

However, Conan-san could see that the other party was not mentally ill, so he was still willing to believe him.

Anyway, even if he was discovered, he should be able to lead the men to avoid the big cat head in time.

A large cat head that made some unknown noise when it moved had arrived on this floor shrouded in darkness.

The big cat-head first searched in another direction, and when it found nothing, it headed towards the direction where Conanshan and the man were.

Through the small ventilation hole in the tool cabinet, Conan could clearly see the green light in the eyes of the big black cat head coming towards him.

Theoretically, since he can see what's happening outside, the big cat should be able to see his eyes unless it has vision problems.

Even in the dark, it shouldn't be difficult for this big cat, which seems to have only a head, to see things.

However, although the big black cat head had clearly covered this direction with darkness, the iron cabinet where the two were located had not been forced open, nor had it been destroyed from the outside.

After dozens of seconds, the big dark cat head left, and the darkness that shrouded the vision also disappeared.

Not long after, Conan could no longer feel the vibration when the big cat head moved. It seemed that this ghost thing really left and disappeared.

Snapped!
