The huge entrance hall was now a scorched earth.

The walls, floor tiles and ceiling were all burned black.

The stench and strong smell of burning were pungent and unpleasant, and the ground was covered with ashes and the corpses of insects that had not yet burned out.

Bai Ju stood in the middle of a large pile of debris, gasping for breath.

The long and intense release of mystery was too much for this judgement-level ritualist.

Not to mention that he had used elementalization several times in order to avoid a small number of giant insects that were not very afraid of fire.

Usami Reiko and Sakai Takashi held their guns alert and walked quickly to Bai Ju to protect the man who was still gasping for breath.

"We're safe...for now."

The man with a hoarse throat reached out and patted Sakai Takashi's shoulder - his thick palm still had the residual warmth of the fire.

The words just fell...

Rustling, rustling.

The crawling sound began again.

"Come on!"

The flame that had just been extinguished was rekindled, and the three men started jogging!

insect!

Bugs! Bugs!

There are bugs everywhere on the road!

Half-human-sized cockroaches, centipedes, multi-headed worms, giant winged mosquitoes, densely packed ants with sharp mouthparts—

Is this some insect's nest?!

Sakai Takashi curled his lips. Since Bai Ju was manipulating the flames in front to clear a path, Usami Reiko and Sakai Takashi only needed to protect his rear. They would fire from time to time, but only to repel the sporadic insects that were approaching.

This gives men time to daydream.

Suddenly, a strange sound vibrated in the three people's brains.

Click!Click!

boom!

What broke?!

The three of them turned back at the same time and looked around...

"Boundary..."

Bai Ju's face looked very ugly and he took a deep breath!

"Flame surge!"

boom----

First, a black scorch mark appeared on the floor, and then it grew bigger and bigger, and more and more.

Countless flames spurted out from the scorch marks!

boom!

boom!

boom--

Flames gushed out like a shock wave, rising into the sky behind the three people!

It was like a spring filled with magma had been opened!

The flames howled and splashed—

A large area of ​​the insect swarm was burned to ashes, and then, as if they were frightened, they all stopped in front of the flame spring...

Back off slowly, back off slowly...

Disappeared like the tide.

The fishy and burnt smell appeared again.

Bai Ju had sweat on his forehead. Sakai Takashi and Usami Reiko supported the man on his left and right.

At the end, there is a half-person-high window, and to prevent accidents, there are reinforced iron bars outside the window.

Bai Ju walked over panting, pushed the two people away, and stared at the swarm of insects outside the window thoughtfully.

"what happened?"

Usami Reiko shook her head and did not answer Sakai Takashi's question. She stretched out her finger along Bai Ju's shoulder and signaled to Sakai Takashi.

How, how is this possible?!

The space is separated?

The whole building?!

This was the first time that Takashi Sakai had an intuitive concept of space.

Different from the usual empty expressions in words, this time, it was actually presented in front of him.

Barrier...really?

Is this really something a Super-Order-level ritualist can do?

Or is Chagall deceiving himself...?

The kaleidoscope-like prism wrapped around the building outside the window, and the three people at this moment seemed to be in another world.

The defeated fog was blocked within the barrier, and the sunlight refracted in, and the path of the reflected light could still be vaguely seen.

This building, this space... is blocked.

Bai Ju turned around expressionlessly and looked at his two temporary team members. He leaned against the window, took a few deep breaths, and turned his back to close the curtains.

"If this barrier is reliable, it's good news - the power of chaos cannot radiate outward for the time being, which means that the residents will not be attacked or infected."

Sakai Takashi shook his head: "We can't get out either."

Usami Reiko glanced at him.

"There is no option to escape from our mission."

Also.

Sakai Takashi smacked his lips.

The three of them were currently at the end of the corridor on the first floor. If their target was not on the first floor and they wanted to move on to the second floor, they would first have to walk the same route they had just taken.

Being chased by the swarm of insects, the three of them ran to the end of the aisle.

Checking the gun and refilling the ammunition, there was a brief silence when Bai Ju's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Memory, all alone in the moonlight,"

(Memories, a lonely figure under the moonlight)

"I can smile at the old days..."

(I can dream of the old days)

oops.

It's a cute girl singing.

Bai Ju: ...

Usami Reiko: ...

Sakai Takashi: Hahahahahaha, you have come to this day too!

"Well, there was a very popular one some time ago..." The muscular man, nearly two meters tall, explained in a rare hesitant voice.

Sakai Takashi bent his elbows and raised his hands:

"I know, I know.

That is the singing of a girl called Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"By the way, do all tough guys like this type of guy?"

Bai Ju frowned and pressed the hands-free button with murderous intent.

Intermittent sounds came.

"…The evacuation has been completed."

Zila Zila.

"Support may be..."

"...Mist..."

Zila Zila.

The sound gradually faded away.

Bai Ju hung up the phone directly.

"The crowd has been evacuated." These words were said to Sakai Takashi.

Bai Ju knew very well that in this makeshift team, the only one who cared most about civilians was Sakai Takashi.

Not to mention myself, although Usami Reiko has a naturally soft heart like a woman, she is actually surprisingly cold.

Coupled with the incident involving Kenichi Yoshino, this indifference deepened.

Only the younger generation, Sakai Takashi, still harbors a naivety that is not sure whether it is good or bad.

Because the corridor was too quiet, all three of them heard what was said on the phone.

Usami Reiko folded her hands and sneered: "Last time it was Yoshino, this time, is it our turn?"

"I don't know, will the support be late this time?"

The woman's sarcastic words made Sakai Takashi's face change. He looked at Bai Ju worriedly.

Bai Ju said nothing, but just stared back blankly.

"Humph."

Snapped.

The woman was so angry that she couldn't vent it, so she took it out on the table next to her legs.

"Go to the second floor."

Bai Ju gave the order simply and directly. In this team, regardless of rank or ability, he should be the one to give orders.

The three of them packed up with serious expressions, ready to set out again.

"Cheer up, that barrier just now..."

"I don't know if he's a friend or an enemy."

The white torch inspires mystery, and the flame wraps around the man again.

"We may need to face multiple ritualists at the Judgment level, or above..."

This is not good news.

In other words, Bai Ju's words clearly told the two that in the subsequent battles, everyone might die in battle.

After saying that, the man strode forward without looking back.

The flames burn again!
