The search began... Tio said on the way: "The roar just now seems to be conveying something..."
"Convey what...?"
"Is it a feeling of intimidation??"
"No... I think it has a clear will... But I'm sorry, let's hear it clearly..."
Tio said.
"What if we are powerless... If the security team is dispatched, it is very likely to alert the snake..."
Lloyd said.
"Only we can find it ourselves..."
Ellie: "Try to find it... We have to be careful..."
"Well...I keep that in mind..." Lloyd said.
Investigation started...
I met a nun on the mountain path. I remember there was a church on the right side of the mountain path...
She should be going back...
"Hey... I seem to have seen this nun somewhere..." Ellie said.
"Oh...are you Lloyd...?"
"well..?"
"What...? Do you know Lloyd?" Randy said.
"Could it be... Teacher Mal..."
"Long time no see, Lloyd... There is another one, Ellie. Haha, you two have grown up..."
Ellie said: "That's true...Sister Mal...Hello..."
"Um...could it be said that Ellie also knows Teacher Mal...?"
Lloyd said.
"Yes, when I was in Sunday school, I was also taught by Mr. Marr..."
Ellie said.
Tio said: "You two are obviously taught by the same nun...but you don't know each other..."
Mal said, "Because Crossbell is so big, the days when Sunday school starts...are different in every neighborhood..."
"Lloyd and Ellie were on different days...well..."
Ellie said: "It's incredible. Maybe I almost became your childhood sweetheart Zuma..."
"Haha...it's indeed possible..." Lloyd said.
"But having said that, I didn't expect you, Teacher Mal, to still remember us..."
"Haha...I will never forget any of the students I have taught...and besides, you are still children with unique personalities..."
Tio: “Do you have a personality?”
"That's right... Lloyd is a little guy who is tired of his sister... and Ellie knows a lot about men and women, and she doesn't look like a child at all..." Mal said.
"Wait a moment...."
"teacher..."
"Haha, it's really interesting to hear other people's past stories... So what are the interesting things specifically...?"
Randy said.
"Let me think about it..."
"Spare us...Teacher..."
"Haha, just kidding..."
"Oh, what a pity..." Tio said.
"Lloyd, Ellie, I'm so happy to see you again..."
Teacher Mal said.
"If you are happy, you can come to the temple to play at any time..."
Lloyd said: "Okay..."
The search will continue after that....
On the mountain road, I saw the beautiful scenery...
"It's amazing..." Lloyd said.
"It's really spectacular...The Crossbell we live in turns out to be so beautiful..." Ellie said.
Tio said: "I feel like all the fatigue from the journey has been blown away..."
"I didn't expect that just a little far away from the big city, there would be such vast natural scenery..."
"It's really strange to say autonomous prefecture...Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to belittle..."
Randy said.
"I understand what you mean... I have lived in a foreign city for about a year... Compared with there, Crossbell may indeed be unbalanced..."
Lloyd said.
"Yes... I also traveled to various countries when I was studying abroad... No country attaches great importance to tradition and nature..."
Ellie said.
"But...I don't hate Crossbell...I think its strengths and weaknesses attract me..." Theo said.
Lloyd said: "Tio...thank you..."
Randy said: "This is an exciting place, so exciting that we, completely unrelated people, can gather together..."
"yes..."
"Indeed, it is precisely because of Crossbell that today's Special Agent Support Section exists..."
"Haha, thinking like this is not useless..."
At this time, a long roar came... very clearly...
"here we go again..."
"I heard it very clearly this time..."
"Can you tell where it came from...?"
"Stare for a moment..." Tio used the force guide to check...
"Northwest...exactly 1 kilometer..."
"Understood... let's go now."
Four people rushed over......
The fork in the discovery mountain road... is at the Daoli bus stop in Mining Town...
Randy: "I don't think I saw the World of Warcraft...but Mine Town is coming."
"Perhaps the Warcraft has gone somewhere else... Since the left side leads to Mining Town... then are there any clues here..."
Ellie said.
Tio said: "There is no relevant information in the database... Maybe we should investigate..."
"Then let's go take a look at the mountain road on the right..."
Investigation begins...
At the end of the mountain road...is a house...
Lloyd said: "Somewhere here..."
"It's quite an imposing building... It doesn't feel like it's being lifted up, it feels like someone is living in it..." Ellie said.
Randy said: "There is a sign here...Rosenberg Workshop...No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter."
Ellie: "Ah, here is..."
"Ellie, do you know this place...?"
"Well... this is a famous doll-making workshop in the industry... I heard that there is a talented puppet maker here who can make high-priced antique dolls..."
"Ah...there is such a workshop...?" Randy said.
"I've heard about this too. It's said that the dolls can be sold at auctions for incredible prices..."
Tio said.
Ellie: "That's right...I've seen it a few times, and it makes people think it's simply a work of art..."
"Although I heard it was in Crossbell... I didn't expect it to be in such a deserted place..."
"A genius puppet master? Judging from the warning on the sign, he is not that approachable... I wonder if I can say a few words..."
At this time, a little girl's voice came: "Grandpa is not at home..."
The girl in the dress said: "Big brother, big sister, hello...who are you? What do you want to do in the workshop?"
"Well... we are not bad people, we are Crossbell police..."
"Oh, that's it, haha, I just saw the police in the city..." the girl said.
"Will you still be patrolling here?"
"We are not here to patrol... We want to ask the owner of this workshop about the presence of magical beasts nearby..."
"A magical beast appeared near here...what kind of magical beast is it?" the girl said.
"That... is a wolf-shaped monster..." Ellie said.
"Did you hear that from your grandpa...?"
"No, I haven't heard of it... But speaking of it, there was a sound like a roar coming from a distance just now..."
"I don't know if it's that..."
"Well, that's it... You said your grandfather is not here, right... Is there no one else in the workshop except him...?"
Lloyd said.
"Yes...but grandpa said he would be back in the evening..."
"That's right... As I said just now, there seems to be dangerous monsters wandering around here..."
"Can you stay in the house until your grandpa comes back...?"
Lloyd said.
"Haha... It doesn't matter... but following you guys seems to be fun... Are you playing hide-and-seek with Mr. Wolf... It seems like it's fun..."
the girl said.
"Indeed, you can say that..."
"This little girl is really interesting..."
"Well... I don't know what will happen in the future... I can't take you with me..."
"I'm sorry...can you stay home...?"
"Huh, it's so boring... If he fixes it, it won't be boring... Forget it, let's sneak in and play with Freckles-kun today?"
"How about going to the Glass Castle to play...?"
the girl said.
"What?"
"Haha, I'm talking to myself... By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet... Haha, call me Ling... Actually, I have a child I want to introduce to you...
But unfortunately his right foot was injured and he is recovering from his injury at Grandpa's place..."
"That's it..." It should be about dolls or something...
"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Wolf is very smart... Although I kind of want to play with him... But Ling is an adult now... He won't be so willful..."
"Come on...big brother of the support department..."
After saying that, she entered the house....
Lloyd said: "Okay..."
Ellie said: "You should also pay attention to safety..."
"She is a girl with quite a personality..." Tio said.
"Probably the granddaughter of the famous puppet master...?"
"Well, I guess it's about the same, but he's such a mature kid..." Randy said.
"Haha, isn't this kid quite cute..." Ellie said.
"And the somewhat mysterious way of speaking is also very attractive..."
"Wait...there seems to be something wrong..."
"What's wrong, Lloyd, is there something fishy about you...?"
"No...it's not a big deal...didn't that kid finally talk about the big brothers in the support department..."
Tio said: "Let's put it this way...we haven't reported our family status yet...how did she know...?"
"Why would a little girl like that know...?" Randy said.
"But maybe she found out about the Support Section after reading Time Magazine..." Lloyd said.
"After all, he is an incredible child..."
"Indeed..." Tio said.
"Okay... Anyway, it seems that the wolf-type monsters haven't come here... Let's go back... go directly to Mine Town..."
Arriving at the tunnel leading to Mine Town...
Randy said: "This tunnel... is quite solid... It was built in this deep mountain to transport the Qiyao Stone..."
Lloyd: "Remember, it was built around the time when Crossbell became an autonomous state..."
"So, just about 70 years ago...Crossbell has been the origin of the Seven Shining Stones since before..."
"Yes...it has also caused disputes in other countries...The production of Qiyao Stone has not decreased until now...
However, with the advancement of technology, rich mineral veins have been discovered in other countries...so the level of attention is not as good as before..."
Ellie said.
"Yeah... Speaking of Crossbell now, it's really still trade and finance..."
At this time, a long roar came from the tunnel...
"here we go again!"
"There is an echo..."
"Tio, check where it comes from..."
"Okay..." After checking... Tio said: "It seems to be coming from the exit of the tunnel..."
"Understood, let's go..."
Arriving at the tunnel exit....
I saw a monster...a white wolf...
Ellie: "The white fur...is the same as the legend of the divine wolf..."
Randy: "Hey...it finally showed up...If I encounter you here, I'll wait for death!, finish it quickly!"
Tio: "Please wait a moment, this child is not hostile...Leave it to me to handle..."
"Idiot, what are you doing..."
Tio walked over and said: "Finally I see you... What can you do? Is there anything you want to tell us...?"
"Woo..." Divine Wolf.
"Is that really true?"
Ellie: "Tio??,"
Lloyd: "Do you understand...its words..."
"Although I can't understand it, I understand what it is saying..."
Tio looked at the white wolf and said, "So...what do you want to tell us...?"
White Wolf: "Uru...Uru..."
"Does that mean...?"
The white wolf barked again...and then ran away..."
Randy said: "It's really fast..."
"Tio, what did he say...? Did he want to tell us something?" Lloyd said.
"That probably means that the final fragment is just ahead...it's up to you after that, that's it..."
Tio said.
"The last fragment...."
"Yes, that's probably what it means... Of course, it's up to you to believe it or not..."
"It's not that I don't believe you... It's just that the last fragment is just ahead... What does it mean? Could it be that this series of monsters are causing chaos?
The last clue missing in time...will it be found?" (To be continued)
