Higashinohara has been to this world twice and clearly knows how weird this world is.
Especially when the sun sinks below the horizon and night falls, the strange monsters in this world will come in some very terrifying ways.
For example, when Higashinohara first joined the Adjudication Division expedition team, the poor woman named Ma Baoli he met in Pujiang Community actually smashed her head through the ceiling in the middle of the night and gave him a "rocket headbutt."
In the previous world, this was a strange ability that was unimaginable.
Therefore, at this moment, I heard the faint female voice singing a cappella from the ruins of the Sioux City garden. Each word was pronounced in the language that Higashinohara was familiar with in his previous life, but the voice was full of lingering and deep resentment.
In this desolate and silent garden ruins, hearing such a faint and strange singing sound suddenly would probably frighten a person half to death.
Not to mention women.
After the clinker empress Dorothy Alita heard this, she looked over from Higashinohara's angle, but could only see her body shaking slightly.
He quickly calmed down,
Higashinohara couldn't help but feel that this woman's heart was probably not as big as his own.
But the next second,
Higashinohara's heart suddenly lifted.
I saw Dorothy Alita looking towards the darkness behind the rockery where the moonlight could not reach. Suddenly, she raised her feet and started to walk in that direction.
Ah this?!
Dong Yeyuan could not help but be slightly stunned.
He subconsciously opened his mouth to call out to the other party.
You know, this time they entered the boundary gate, but it was the fourth level of purple.
This means that near the anchor point of the hell world reached behind the door, there is likely to be a wandering demon lord with a strength of up to ninth level.
Although this woman is powerful.
But after today's battle at White Swan Harbor, I am still injured, and my strength has not yet fully recovered. If I encounter danger, I may be in trouble.
Unexpectedly, Higashinohara hasn't spoken yet.
Empress Dorothy Alita seemed to have some reaction, and suddenly turned her head to look at Higashinohara, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked back.
Fortunately she's not that aggressive yet.
Higashinohara was relieved when he saw this.
Why half a breath?
Because after Empress Dorothy Alita came back, she lowered her head and stared at Higashinohara lying on the floor tiles, and suddenly said:
"Don't walk around here..."
Why do these words sound familiar?
Higashinohara interrupted speechlessly, "You want to go take a look?"
"What difference does it make if I go or not?"
Empress Dorothy Alita turned her head and glanced at the darkness behind the rockery, and said in a calm tone, "We have been targeted."
Higashinohara couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard this, sighed, and said, "Help me up, let's go together."
Empress Dorothy Alita couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this, and looked at Higashinohara up and down, seemingly hesitant.
Higashinohara took a breath, knowing that now was not the time to lie down, so he looked at each other and said, "Believe me, no one knows this place better than me."
The empress hesitated for a moment after hearing this, looked around, and finally determined that leaving Higashinohara alone here was not a wise choice, so she nodded.
Higashinohara smiled bitterly,
He struggled to support his body.
He wanted to let Empress Dorothy Alita put her arms under his armpits again, like she did in the afternoon, and help him up and walk over.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he only felt his body light up slightly, and his entire body was held in the arms of Empress Dorothy Alita.
Ah this?!
Empress Dorothy Alita is not much shorter than Higashinohara who is 183cm tall thanks to her long legs.
Coupled with the fact that Higashinohara has a slender figure (except in the state of Doomsday Apocalypse), there is no sense of discomfort when being held by the other princess.
It's just that Higashinohara's face was a bit troubled and he struggled a little.
But the black robe worn by the empress was soaked in rain and sea water for a day,
It’s okay if Higashinohara doesn’t struggle,
As soon as I struggled, my face suddenly felt soft and fragrant.
In an instant, Empress Dorothy Alita stiffened slightly, lowered her head and stared at Higashinohara angrily through the veil.
The latter immediately became obedient and honest.
Immediately, he naturally wrapped his arms around the slender waist of Empress Dorothy Alita.
The latter was just about to take steps,
His feet suddenly stopped again.
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment.
After a while, Empress Dorothy Alita was heard saying softly, "It's not allowed there."
Higashinohara suddenly understood.
Is the skin on her waist more sensitive?
He retracted his hand sarcastically, but in the current position of the two of them, if they didn't hold their arms around their waists, there would be no other suitable place to grab them.
Forget it, that's it.
Presumably the other party will not let him fall.
.....
In the dead darkness behind the rockery and rocks in the ruins of the garden, the faint and creepy a cappella sounds of birds are still lingering in my ears.
It's just that after the two of them experienced such a charming episode, and they both knew what existed in this "hell world".
At this moment, my heart suddenly calmed down a little.
Empress Dorothy Alita has always had a resolute style, doing whatever she said. She held Higashinohara in her arms and walked over, following the scary a cappella sound in the night wind.
halfway,
Higashinohara had some vague guesses in his mind.
In his previous life, he didn't have many opportunities to come to Sioux City when he was in Jianghai, but he had visited this Sioux City scenic garden a few times.
Higashinohara vaguely remembers that besides the magnificent light show, what impressed him most during the lantern viewing night tour was the timeless and long folk music performances such as Kun Opera, Pingtan, and Su Opera.
The resentful a cappella song coming from the darkness in front of me seemed to be a kind of folk music performance.
It's just that the artistic conception of the lyrics is a bit unlucky, and it seems unlikely that such a song would appear in a performance.
With these in my mind,
The empress held him in her arms and walked briskly through the rockery, her feet moving very fast.
In the blink of an eye, the front suddenly became empty.
I saw the hazy moonlight falling down like the wings of a white phoenix, and suddenly there appeared in front of my eyes the moonlight of a lotus pond with silver ripples from time to time.
At least that may have been the case countless years ago.
But now...
It was just a piece of quicksand that was silvered by the moonlight in this abandoned garden.
However, from the moment they stepped out of the shadow of the rockery, neither Higashinohara nor the Empress Dorothy Alita paid attention to the quicksand in front of them.
At this moment, the two people's attention was not attracted by the numerous ghost figures in the open space next to the pond filled with quicksand, and they couldn't help but feel a slight shiver in their hearts!
The hazy moonlight penetrated through the dark clouds and fell on the shoulders of the countless ghostly figures, inexplicably adding a spooky and eerie atmosphere.
I saw those figures gathered together. Each of them had a stooped figure. Their clothes seemed to have experienced a long period of differentiation. The skin on their faces was withered and sunken, and their whole bodies exuded an aura of withering and decay.
When Higashinohara saw this, his heart suddenly trembled!
He subconsciously raised his gaze and looked forward across the crowd.
What came into view was a woman wearing a dark red Xiuhe dress, standing pretty in the moonlight with her head lowered, covered with a red scarf.
The cold and melancholy singing voice came from under the turban, and spread in all directions with the night wind.
"Feng Guan Xia Pei wearing red makeup"
"Toast a glass and exchange wine while looking at each other"
"The red candle burns at both ends"
"How can I forget to ask my beloved..."
At the end of the last three words, the woman's a cappella voice suddenly became more shrill and shriller, revealing a despair that was almost tearing her throat.
This is a conscious demon!
Stronger than the Ling Wei he met last time in the hell world behind the Sky Tree Border Gate!
Even stronger than the boy who stood high in the Pearl Tower and stared at him in the vast wind, who controlled the purple epic ability [Dream Tapir]!
That means that this woman in a red wedding dress whose tune suddenly became extremely sad is most likely the leader of the fourth-level purple strange demon near the anchor point behind the border gate!
Thinking about this,
Dong Yeyuan's heart trembled slightly.
But at this moment,
Empress Dorothy Alita, who did not understand what the other party was saying at all, frowned and seemed to step forward to see what the other party was pretending to be.
"Don't let them find out."
Higashinohara couldn't help but said.
Empress Dorothy Alita paused in her steps and glanced down at Higashinohara.
When she raised her head again, her breath suddenly stagnated, and she paused before speaking:
"It looks like we've found it."
Um?!
Higashinohara, who was curled up in the empress's arms, turned his head when he heard the words, and suddenly his heart trembled!
——In front of me, I saw countless ghostly figures gathered around the woman in the red wedding dress like devout believers.
I don't know when I turned around,
On those shriveled faces, the deeply sunken eye sockets showed an extremely hungry and greedy glow like a will-o'-the-wisp.
The focus at the end of the sight,
At this moment, all the attention was focused on the empress Dorothy Alita and Higashinohara who suddenly broke into this "show".
"Outsiders..."
“Fresh bait!”
"What a sweet, fragrant scent."
"..."
These sounds are like the murmurs of the dead, emitting a gritty and harsh sound from the dry and decaying vocal cords.
But this familiar language sounded extremely clear to Higashinohara's ears, as if he could hear some kind of bloodthirsty desire that had been suppressed for thousands of years.
Dong Yeyuan felt a slight chill in his heart.
He looked past the greedy low-level demons and looked at the woman wearing a red wedding dress and a red scarf.
Know that he is the rightful owner.
The woman had stopped singing a cappella at this moment and raised her head to look at the black gauze-masked empress Dorothy Alita who was hugging Higashinohara.
two women,
Separated by black gauze and red turban,
They "looked at each other" from a distance.
The next second, for some reason, the woman in the red wedding dress focused all her attention on Higashinohara, who was being held by the empress.
...
"She seems interested in you."
Suddenly, Dorothy Alita said to Higashinohara in a gentle tone,
In this strange and gloomy atmosphere, Empress Dorothy Alita suddenly said these words.
Higashinohara could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and laughed dryly, "This joke is not that funny."
"That woman is very strong." The empress suddenly said seriously.
"Stronger than you?" Higashinohara asked.
His injuries were much more serious than those of the empress, so he was not considered as a combat power at this moment.
After hearing Higashinohara's words, the empress pondered seriously for two seconds, and then said firmly, "If she is not injured, she is not my opponent. Now...it's hard to say."
What does hard to say mean?
There is no shame in being defeated.
Higashinohara complained in his heart.
He opened his mouth,
I'm thinking about a few words of advice.
Since a fight is hard to come by, there is no need for us to fight these strange monsters desperately.
It's better to just hide.
Unexpectedly, at this moment,
The corner of his eye could not help but condense slightly.
Behind them, in the direction of the rocky rockery where they came from, there was a burst of ghostly shadows, and an unknown number of strange demons dragged their stiff bodies to block the way they came.
——It seems that what Dorothy Alita just said is right. These ghosts have indeed discovered them a long time ago. Even if they don't come over, they will probably be surrounded and intercepted.
But the current situation is not optimistic either.
At this moment, there was a sudden rustle of gravel in the pond behind him that was supposed to be reflecting the moonlight in the garden but was now filled with silver-white quicksand.
Immediately,
A scalp-numbing scene appeared.
I saw dry and rotten palms suddenly stretched out from the quicksand of the pond, like evil spirits that had been drowned for thousands of years emerging from the water and clawing their way out of the quicksand.
The eyes of the strange demon who crawled out first were flashing with greed and desire, and he actually pounced directly towards Higashinohara and the Empress.
"Get out of the way!"
Higashinohara shouted.
Unexpectedly, the empress seemed to open her eyes behind her. She was clearly holding him in her arms, but she quickly and swiftly launched a roundhouse kick. With one kick, the ghost figure who first jumped behind the two of them flew away and fell heavily to the ground.
.
At this moment, Empress Dorothy Alita did not choose to run away immediately. Instead, she stepped on the ground with slow steps and walked to the strange demon who was kicked away by her.
She raised her head and stared at the woman wearing a red wedding dress and a red scarf behind the crowd surrounded by strange demons in the open space.
Suddenly, the strange demon on the ground struggled for a moment and was about to launch another power attack.
Unexpectedly, at this moment,
Empress Dorothy Alita suddenly raised her long legs and cut out a thrilling arc in the dim moonlight.
A crisp bang!
She actually stepped on the strange demon's head directly into the garden tiles under her feet.
Card rub—!
The bones of the strange demon's head cracked instantly, and without even making any wailing sound, it was stepped into the broken floor tiles like a watermelon by Empress Dorothy Alita.
She raised her head and glanced at the motionless woman again.
The meaning is obvious!
If you want to keep me, these are not enough qualifications. If you have the ability, come in person.
...
To capture the thief, capture the king first!
Higashinohara, who had just been shocked by the empress' domineering leg lift, immediately reacted and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart.
However, unexpectedly,
The woman in the red wedding dress remained motionless, without any response to the empress' "anger", standing quietly in the cool moonlight like a virgin.
At the same time, perhaps it was because of Empress Dorothy Alita's strong counterattack.
The strange demons that gathered around and crawled out of the quicksand of the pond all exuded extremely violent and furious auras!
They all let out piercing roars from their throats, activated various bizarre abilities, and rushed forward one after another like wild beasts.
"hold me!"
The empress suddenly spoke.
Higashinohara was stunned when he heard this, and quickly hugged the empress' slender waist.
At this juncture, Empress Dorothy Alita pulled out the [Mikazuki Munechika] that Higashinohara had given her in White Swan Port.
Under the endless cool moonlight,
An icy blue aura instantly overflowed from the blade of this sword, which was called "the most beautiful sword among the supreme swords" and was engraved with three suns and moons. It moved towards the unknown with the night wind.
The distance swept past.
In an instant, the movements of those figures flying in mid-air froze for an instant, and the originally violent and fierce attack seemed to become a little slow.
The next second, Higashinohara felt a terrifying "pushing feeling" coming from behind him.
Hmm...a little soft.
The scenery on both sides of the eyes flew by quickly. Empress Dorothy Alita was holding a large sharp knife and had already swept towards the strange demons gathered around the woman wearing a red wedding dress.
Stuck, stuck, stuck!
A flash of lightning!
The bodies of countless strange demons were instantly frozen, and their necks were cut by unparalleled sharp blades.
The body and head are separated, and the head is thrown into the bright moon!
Higashinohara was slightly shocked by the resolute and decisive aura of Empress Dorothy Alita.
I sighed secretly in my heart,
This woman is indeed worthy of the title of "Empress" in some aspects.
But now is not the time to sigh.
Just when the empress Dorothy Alita was holding "Ice Sorrow" in her arms to kill her brother, Higashinohara's mind also turned into a mess.
[High concentration of unknown particles detected]
【Confirm collection?】

[Collection of unknown particles is completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining blue ability fragments]
[The host can permanently upgrade the fragments through source points]

Is it even necessary to think about it?
What Higashinohara currently lacks the most is source points that can upgrade his abilities, so he immediately [Confirm Decomposition] without any hesitation.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 0.5 source power points]
In the blink of an eye, the starting point of the title page of the "Handbook of Crime" in Higashinohara's mind suddenly rose from the "3.5" that had been stagnant for a long time.
Seeing this exciting scene, he knew that his trip to hell was not in vain.
However, in addition to being pleased, Higashinohara raised his head slightly and glanced at the smooth and round lower jaw of Empress Dorothy Alita, and suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
This trip of feelings...
Did you find a professional "power coach"?
Chapter completed!
