"Miss Alice, what can I do for you?"
Seeing Alice's expression of hesitation and desire, Tang Hao finally took the initiative to speak, although he had no intention of provoking her.
"Nothing!" Alice seemed a little panicked when her thoughts were revealed. She shook her head quickly. After her expression calmed down, she said, "Where will you rest tonight?"
"Rest?" Tang Hao was stunned, not understanding what the other party meant. However, if he stayed overnight, he usually stayed in the Scarlet Devil Mansion or Eternal Pavilion. These two places were the most familiar to him. However, after looking around, he realized When he said goodbye to Xiao Meiyan just now, everyone around him had almost left. Remilia did not invite him when she left. When Kaguya left, she just followed Ilia and ignored him. , it seems that although Guangyu has erased their obsession with the wedding dress, today's incident still offended them a lot.
Tang Hao felt that if he went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion or the Eternal Pavilion shamelessly now, he would probably be kicked out.
Then there is the Hakurei Shrine. All you need to do is give Reimu a little money, but judging from the postures of the three people next to him, if you want to stay at Hakurei Shrine, Reimu will have to prepare at least four rooms, which Reimu probably won't be able to get together given his poverty.
So Tang Hao shook his head, "I haven't decided where to stay yet. I might go to Moriya Shrine for a while. After all, her family is quite big."
They are both shrines. Hakurei Shrine is casual, and Reimu has a muddle-through attitude most of the time, so it does not develop well. But Moriya Shrine is different, because there are two living gods, plus business With its modern operation, developed economy and complete facilities, it is actually not much worse than the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
"Really..." Alice's eyes flickered, a little hesitant, but then she gritted her teeth, as if she had made some kind of decision, "If you don't mind it, maybe you can stay at my place for one night. In fact, my house is quite nice. big."
Tang Hao: "..."
What the hell?
Tang Hao's eyes widened for a moment and he thought he was hallucinating.
Although he has been to Gensokyo many times and made many good friends, he has very little contact with Alice. Not counting the last party, the total time the two of them spent together would not exceed five minutes. What they said to each other There were no more than three sentences, because this guy was really just like Reimu said, very gloomy, indifferent to most things except magic and dolls.
She has a face as delicate and beautiful as a doll, but she also has a gloomy and isolated temperament like a doll. She shuts herself in the room all day long and does her own thing, because she rarely gets sunlight, and magicians are generally relatively She was so weak that her skin was paler than that of a vampire, and her aura of keeping strangers away from her was even more intense. If she accidentally bumped into an ordinary person at night, she would probably scare them half to death.
After all, a magician like Marisa who is carefree and in good health enough to pick mushrooms is a special case, and strictly speaking, Marisa is not a real magician... The magicians in Gensokyo are races, and Marisa Still human.
In short, Tang Hao was indeed surprised by Alice's invitation.
An autistic and gloomy dead house suddenly invites you to visit her home. Is this... because of love?
Tang Hao was a little moved, but also a little nervous. He was not quite sure of Alice's intention, but since the other party had taken the initiative to speak, it was not convenient for him to refuse, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll bother you then. .”
Seeing Tang Hao agree, Alice also showed a faint smile.
Afterwards, Tang Hao said goodbye to Reimu and others and left Hakurei Shrine.
People left one after another, and everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers. Except for Tang Hao, the people in the chat room were divided into two groups. Some went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and some went to the Eternal Pavilion. Soon, it was very lively just now. Hakurei Shrine became Reimu's again, and it suddenly became deserted.
Reimu was sitting alone on the wooden board in front of the door, holding a tea cup, looking a little unhappy.
In Gensokyo, a place where monsters are everywhere, sometimes she feels that she is the only alien. The monsters have homes to return to and are accompanied by their own kind, but she only has the stars and the moon and the shrine to accompany her.
…
"Yes, Madoka, I have found the key to breaking the situation... Well, let's meet in Asami-san's dormitory later."
After returning to her own world with Kotama, Xiao Meiyan immediately called Madoka. Of course, the matter of Kotama would not be clear for a while, so the two parties made an appointment in Tomoe Mami's dormitory, which was theirs. The meeting point of the three people was high, because only Tomoe Asami could block Kyubey's surveillance.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Meiyan was still in a state of excitement. She sped up and ran down the street, wanting to tell her companions the good news as soon as possible.
It was daytime when she left, but now it is night. The city at eleven o'clock in the evening is even quieter than she imagined. The scattered street lights cannot illuminate the darkness of the city. Under the dim night sky, except for the sound of her own footsteps, There was no sound, as if the whole city was alone.
At first, Xiao Meiyan didn't pay much attention. After all, after becoming a magical girl, she also had the experience of hunting witches alone at night. She had gradually become accustomed to the dark night and silence, but gradually, she felt something inexplicable. Feeling uncomfortable.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the darkness.
"Is she a witch?"
Xiao Meiyan immediately became alert.
There are many witches lurking in this city. Most of them are magical girls who once guarded this city. After the soul gem was dyed black by despair, they became witches. Some of them moved here from other cities. .
Xiao Meiyan once witnessed the whole process of the fall of a magical girl. The feeling of despair made her immersed in the scene, as if the fallen magical girl was herself. Therefore, she had no hatred or hostility towards the witch. More sympathy and pity.
Therefore, after understanding the truth about magical girls, they actually rarely hunt witches. On the one hand, they feel sympathy for the same fate, and on the other hand, the process of hunting witches is actually accelerating their own depravity in disguise. In order to maintain themselves Their soul gems are not contaminated, and they will not go out of their way to eliminate the witch unless absolutely necessary.
At this moment, this different feeling made Xiao Meiyan realize that she might be targeted by the witch. She suddenly felt a little nervous. With her current strength, she was still unable to fight against the witch alone. Among the three, only Bao could kill the witch alone. Asami.
"You can't confront her head-on. Sister Asami said that you should put your own safety first during the night patrol. Escape first. That guy won't catch up, right?"
Xiao Meiyan murmured to herself. The quiet and deserted street at this moment made her relieved. After all, if an innocent person was attacked by the witch, she would have to come forward.
They will not take the initiative to eliminate witches, but they cannot let witches attack humans.
The footsteps gradually accelerated. After a while, the feeling of being stared at disappeared. Xiao Meiyan felt that she was out of the witch's hunting range. She just breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind. Footsteps.
Are you following? !
Xiao Meiyan's expression changed, and she completed the transformation in an instant. She turned around and looked behind her with a small submachine gun. However, there was no figure in sight, and the street was still as quiet as ever.
Is it an illusion?
Xiao Meiyan blinked, put away her submachine gun and continued walking forward, and then...
Snap!
Just as she took a step forward, there were footsteps again behind her.
Now Xiao Meiyan was a little uneasy.
She pretended not to hear it and continued to walk forward. The patter of footsteps sounded simultaneously with her. When she speeded up, the frequency of the sound would speed up. When she slowed down, the sound would also slow down. And when she stopped, the surroundings became silent again.
Xiao Meiyan finally confirmed that something was following her!
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
What on earth is following me, a witch? Or something else?
It would be okay if it was a witch. Even if she couldn't be defeated, she could still escape with the ability to stop time. But if she wasn't a witch, what else in the world could make a magical girl feel in danger?
An invisible enemy.
An unknown existence.
Thinking of this, Xiao Meiyan felt strong uneasiness in her heart.
snap——
Then, strange footsteps sounded again.
But...but I haven't left yet!
Xiao Meiyan suddenly broke into a cold sweat. This time, the footsteps did not imitate her movements like before. When she stopped, she walked over. Was it because she realized that she had been discovered, so she no longer covered it up?
Xiao Meiyan turned around, holding the submachine gun and gritting her teeth.
Click... click... click...
Ahead, footsteps followed each other like a shadow, getting closer and closer. Judging from the sound, the other party was only five or six meters away from her, which put strong pressure on Xiao Meiyan.
Then, when the footsteps approached again, Xiao Meiyan finally couldn't help it anymore and pressed the trigger.
Ta-ta-ta-ta--
A series of bullets flew out, followed by a bang, as if someone was knocked to the ground, and at the same time, the strange footsteps stopped.
But Xiao Meiyan did not relax because of this, and she did not dare to be careless at all. She paid close attention to the movements around her. Almost half a minute passed, and about seven or eight meters away from her, footsteps sounded again... pat pat pat. Ta-ta-ta!
It seemed that the person who was knocked down fell down again, and the speed was faster than before.
Even the street lights on the street began to go out silently, one... two... three. With the strange footsteps, more and more street lights were extinguished, and even the moonlight shone in the places where the street lights were lost. If you don't go in, the boundless darkness invades from the distance, as if it wants to swallow everything.
I can’t see it, I can’t kill it, and I don’t know what it is!
Fear spread in Akatsuki Homura's heart. Even in the last reincarnation, the night of the witch that killed Madoka and Tomoe Asami did not give her such strong fear.
She no longer stayed or attacked. She immediately turned around and ran forward before the darkness spread to herself.
"Anyway, let's go to Asami-san's dormitory first, and just meet up with Madoka Asami-san..."
Xiaomei Huanxin said that this silent street left her with no safety at all. It was more terrifying than facing the Witch Night, but the footsteps chasing her behind her were getting faster and faster, and she was still far away from Tomoe Asami's dormitory. It was a long way, and if she continued at this speed, she would definitely be caught up first.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Meiyan took out her phone again and dialed Madoka's number.
She didn't think that the thing chasing her behind would be stronger than Witch Night, because the unknown deepened her fear. With the help of Madoka and Asami, she might be able to repel the opponent.
However, when I dialed the number, there was no familiar and warm voice. All that came from the phone was sizzling...
Can't get through!
Xiao Meiyan quickly took the phone and took a look. The signal was full and the battery was still half full. Why couldn't she get through?
I called Tomoe Asami's number again, but the same thing happened.
On the entire phone, only the chat room was still functioning normally. The conversations of group friends could be seen in the public channel. She instinctively wanted to ask the chat room for help, but then gave up... Most of the people in the chat room entered Fantasyland. , their shuttle value has not been restored, and even if they know the situation on their side, they cannot rush to help. Only those people in Gensokyo can escape.
However, Gu Ming felt that when he left last time, he had already proved to her that he could stand alone. But now, he had just accepted a precious treasure like Guangyu and asked for help in the chat room. That was too...
"Wait a minute, I still have a trump card, I can't always trouble Miss Jue."
Xiao Meiyan forced herself to calm down and paid attention to the footsteps behind her as she ran. Every time she got closer, she became extremely nervous, and her pale face was covered with sweat and panic.
"stop!!"
Just when the distance between the two sides was less than three meters, Xiao Meiyan finally couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere. With this cry, time stopped and the whole world became silent again.
"Stopped?"
The silent atmosphere gave Xiao Meiyan a sense of security that she had not seen for a long time, but at the same time, her face also became paler, because when she was snatching the wedding dress, her magic power was almost drained by Shajo Aige. At this time, she only After recovering a little, she used up the remaining magic power to stop time and let her body collapse again. It may not last long. She must reach Tomoe Asami's dormitory during this time.
As long as you meet Madoka Asami, you'll be safe.
Xiao Meiyan thought in her mind, took steps forward, and then...
Click!
A sound like a shattering window spread from somewhere behind him.
In an instant, the expression on Xiao Meiyan's face froze.
"How can this be?"
She could feel the movement of the thing behind her, and it was tearing apart the time she had stopped, but how could this be possible? Even Murasaki Yakumo has praised her ability. Why is this invisible thing able to break through her time stop?
Doesn't this mean that the other party is countless times more terrifying than the witch? !
Xiao Meiyan could hardly imagine that she even forgot to ask the chat room for help and just turned her head stiffly.
The next moment, the stopped time was completely shattered, and a blurry black figure rushed towards her.
"Ahhhhh..."
Xiao Meiyan screamed, the submachine gun clicked, and the grenade bombs were thrown out as if they were free. However, these attacks were completely useless against the blurry black shadow. The opponent broke through the smoke and dust of the explosion, and in an instant he was gone. rushed to her eyes.
Even the Queen of Arms needs arms reserves, and at this time, Xiao Meiyan has no weapons available.
Except cell phones.
So, when the black shadow almost touched her face, Xiao Meiyan waved her right hand fiercely and smashed the phone over.
This was just an instinctive action, and even Xiao Meiyan didn't expect such an attack to cause any harm to the black shadow.
But the next moment.
Snapped!
"!!!"
With a soft sound, the monster in the darkness let out a shrill and weird scream. The blurry black shadow fled away in an instant, and the extinguished street lights turned on again.
"Win...win?"
Xiao Meiyan hadn't come back to her senses yet. She stared blankly ahead until the street returned to calm again. It wasn't until the sense of urgency completely dissipated that she finally came to her senses. The invisible monster in the darkness had indeed left. .
As the spirit relaxed, the weak body could no longer hold on.
With a plop, Xiao Meiyan knelt on the ground, holding her cell phone in her hands, and a smile that was worse than crying appeared on her face.
"Ha ha……"
