Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

Nogi Wakaba's personality is actually not good. From the perspective of others, there is nothing wrong with her attitude towards herself being very strict, but with the same attitude, she always demands others with her own requirements in the tone of a class monitor.

It is inevitable...it will cause dissatisfaction among others, and she has even been the target of several malicious retaliations. Although this stubborn girl knows that it is her own problem, she knows that she just cannot change...or it is very difficult to change.

At this time, Hinata Kamisato would stand up for her best friend to settle the dispute.

This girl, who seemed to have scored all her points on friendliness, could ease the tense atmosphere with just a few words.

While easing the relationship, it did not damage Nogi Wakaba's image.

Generally speaking, even if they are childhood sweethearts or good friends, they would get annoyed if they keep encountering similar things, but Kamisato Hinata never felt that way.

Walking on the street where it had completely darkened, Kamisato Hinata allowed Nogi Wakaba to hold her hand.

Who made her actually...

She held Nogi Wakaba's hand a little tighter, and Nogi Wakaba's breathing became a little faster.

"I'm sorry, Hinata..."

There was a hint of crying in his tone.

There was a result that even Li Mengyu, who released the two children, did not expect.

Turn around streets big and small, and choose the direction that you think is right among countless alleys.

The so-called "searching" is actually done in almost the same way.

In children's brains, if there are more than 10 turns, most of them will get lost.

At this moment, what happened to Nogi Wakaba and Kamisato Hinata was that even though they had decided to give up the search and go back home, they were lost, going around in circles several times, and the surrounding scenes were almost the same under the cover of night.

Even adults who are not familiar with the roads may get lost, let alone children.

"It's fine……"

Kamisato Hinata was comforting Nogi Wakaba beside her. Her companion's anxiety was more or less transferred to her, but in fact... she was the one who felt uneasy at the beginning.

Because her intuition, which always appeared normally, stopped working from the moment the sun was completely swallowed by the sky...which the people here called the devil's hour.

Of course, this devil moment has nothing to do with the golden devil king. It refers to... the moment when yin and yang alternate and become chaotic, yin and yang overlap, and ghosts and monsters are about to appear.

At this time, no one noticed that the marks on their sleeves were emitting a faint light.

I don't know which remote corner they have walked to. Some of the street lights here are broken, almost every other one is broken, and there are large areas of dark shadows between the street lights.

"Pattern"

And in such a situation, the sound of leather shoes touching the ground was heard in the silent night.

It's inexplicably creepy.

"Wow, it's so late, and I can still see two children who haven't returned home. It's really rare."

Soon, the owner of the leather shoes sound appeared under the street light.

He was a handsome man dressed in a somewhat strange way, wearing an expensive suit, but the buttons on his chest were almost all undone, revealing large areas of skin. There were several slits at the cuffs of his pants, and he had earrings in his ears. It seemed as if there were nails stuck in his tongue when he spoke.

There are a few strands of red hair mixed in with some of the gray hair, but that is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that where the man's head and neck are connected, there is a hideous scar that surrounds the entire neck, as if his head had once fallen off his neck.

The pale hand that stretched out from the sleeve of the suit was holding a bottle of soju that was already half drunk.

But there was hardly any sign of drunkenness on this man's face.

Even with so many deductions, in the eyes of Nogi Wakaba and others, the appearance of the man in front of them could still be ranked in the top 3, slightly inferior to Li Mengyu whom they had met before.

Nogi Wakaba's hands trembled slightly.

For some reason, she felt an extremely dangerous aura from the man in front of her.

She squeezed the siren.

"Be careful, uncle. If you come any closer, I'll pinch this."

The address of "uncle" made the man opposite him look gloomy.

"Ah~ah↘The kids nowadays are really brave... But I like it, because it's usually tastier."

The alarm in Nogi Wakaba's hand instantly exploded into a pile of debris, but her palm was not hurt.

The man stuck out a tongue about forty to fifty centimeters long, saliva dripping down, and the tip of his tongue touched the earring at the base of his ear.

"This kind of little devil is perfect as a dessert after drinking."

Chapter 32: Strong Smell of Blood

Li Mengyu shuttled between the houses in Kagawa Prefecture at night, feeling the mark she left on the two children.

"Ah—they really did run into me."

This was really beyond his expectations.

The movement of flying over the roof was not too hasty, and he tried his best to avoid making a loud noise, which might disturb those who were not asleep at this time and give them nightmares tonight.

The sword surrounded by an ominous aura fell into Li Mengyu's hands, not that he didn't want to get there quickly.

The mark he left on Kamisato Hinata and the others' clothes not only had the function of tracking but also had a protection mechanism. If that thing was not triggered, Li Mengyu would not be able to accurately sense where the two little ones were.

After all, it was a mark made in a hurry. If you really expect that thing to have many functions, it would be better to hope that the two little guys can leave on their own.

However...if the protection mechanism isn't triggered, it shouldn't be a big problem.

In fact, it's just the opposite.

"Ruoye... I, I can't move..."

In front of that guy who was obviously not a normal human, Kamisato Hinata and Nogi Wakaba subconsciously wanted to escape, but, whether it was a psychological effect or something restrained their movements, they couldn't even move their legs.

"I……"

The same goes for Nogi Wakaba. Looking at the man approaching step by step, she is very regretful now.

If you want to come, you can come alone, why bring Hinata with you... bring Hinata to such a dangerous place.

Her body was slightly in front of Kamisato Hinata.

"I...I will protect you Hinata."

"It's a commendable courage, but it's pointless."

The guy stretched out his arm and was about to grab Nogi Wakaba. The nails on his fingers were extremely long and sharp, and they could probably pierce human skin very easily.

Since Nogi Wakaba said it so righteously, she will definitely be the first one to be eaten. Satisfying the desire for food before eating may make the food more delicious.

Nogi Wakaba looked at the approaching hand and her body began to tremble... After all, she was not very old and she already felt the fear at this moment, but she did not close her eyes in fear.

On the contrary, when she reached the deepest level of fear, her brain became calmer and calmer, and her eyes even revealed the determination of a warrior fighting back to the death.

"..."

The man's hand stopped halfway. The man was trembling after seeing Nogi Wakaba's appearance.

"Hahahaha!"

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What a fate this is, Yoshitsune! That child has the same expression as you, it's really... the resemblance is so similar that it makes me so angry!"

The skin that was originally human began to wrinkle like scales, and the color turned dark blue.

"Just seeing it makes me lose my appetite."

His tone suddenly became cold. If he had wanted to grab Nogi Wakaba before, now he just wanted to crush her into a pile of meat. His murderous intent and malice were clearly shown in his face.

"Why hasn't that perverted Onmyoji come yet?"

Kamisato Hinata screamed in her heart.

At this critical moment, something blocked Nogi Wakaba's way.

"Oh?"

A playful expression appeared on the man's face.

“This is a rare scene.”

Even Nogi Wakaba and Kamisato Hinata were shocked.

This is certain, because what is standing in front of them is a skeleton wrapped in a kimono!

"The society we live in is really great. There are so many new things emerging. Only in this era would there be ignorant little monsters who dare to stand in my way."

The skeleton was easily knocked away, leaving a huge dent on the nearest wall. The cracks that originally only appeared on the hands of the skeleton were now spread all over the skeleton.

For the Skeleton, this was a serious injury that was close to death.

"Since you rarely see fellow monsters, I will spare your life for now. But please don't do anything unnecessary."

Just after he finished saying that, the skeleton that was on the verge of breaking stood up again, and it seemed that it still wanted to protect Nogi Wakaba and the others.

The arm returned to its normal size and covered the only part of the man's face that he could see.

"Hey, hey, didn't you hear what I said? Do you owe them something that you still want to risk your life on?"

The skeleton made no sound, but its action, like a hen protecting her chicks, said it all.

"Why bother."

Something as black as ink and resembling a small ball condensed on the man's slender fingertips.

It stinks.

The smell of pure demonic power gathered together, a small black ball popped out from his fingertips. With the power of this demonic power bullet, it might be able to directly pass through the skeleton and take away Nogi Wakaba behind her... Kamisato Hinata couldn't escape even if he took many steps.

For that guy, being able to eat it is certainly a good thing, but if he can’t, that’s actually nothing.

But the situation was once again beyond that guy's expectations. The sword blade wrapped in black energy accurately blocked his fatal blow.

"Just like before, why is it that every time it comes to a critical moment, there are always people like this and that to mess things up! You, are you really the reincarnation of Yoshitsune?"

The man looked inexplicably crazy.

Li Mengyu, who finally arrived, grasped the hilt of the sword, ignoring the crazy man in front of him, and his eyes fell on the skeleton that was about to shatter.

"..."

This was something he had not expected.

"You two, it's okay..."

"Too slow! Too slow, pervert-san!"

In the crying voice of a little girl, the name that had been changed was changed back.

"It looks like there's nothing wrong."

Li Mengyu's face was frozen.

"I told you it was dangerous, very dangerous. You were the ones who didn't listen to my advice. Now you understand, don't you?"

The two little guys were hit on the forehead.

He held the sword in hand and stepped over the skeleton.

At this moment, Li Mengyu turned her attention to the man who was still going crazy.

This was not a simple enemy. The seven guards gave him the feeling that they might not even be 1/10 as strong as the enemy.

The feeling he had against him was like that he had faced the direct captain of the troops under the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army, an elite leader second only to the Four Heavenly Kings.

Holding the sword tightly, Li Mengyu's eyes became more focused. Although he didn't know if he could handle it with his current ability, but... there was no point in retreating without fighting.

Li Mengyu, who gradually became serious, exuded an inexplicable aura.

The man who was still acting crazy stopped his crazy expression and looked at Li Mengyu with interest with his scarlet eyes.

"He seems to be a good guy. I thought that in today's society, there are no more warriors who can fight me happily like before."

"I am not a samurai."

"Don't even think about lying to me."
