"I really want to eat sukiyaki..."

Lin took a breath of hot air on his hands and warmed his ten fingers. The clothes given by Wuhun Palace were indeed very warm, but the gloves were half-finger gloves...

This is because full-finger gloves will reduce the sensitivity of the samurai's fingers and make it difficult to control a full-screen smartphone, so we simply use half-finger gloves and still have some fabric left.

"Hold on, we have to wait another half an hour for the shift change. Then we can go to the camp to eat and rest." Uncle Sato next to him glanced at the two watchmen walking in front and curled his lips: "They all

You're not hungry yet, so don't complain."

At this time, the watchman in front turned around, glanced at the setting sun in the distance, and asked in English: "Where have we patrolled?"

"Let me take a look." Lin took out his mobile phone and looked at the map and said: "This is Lobster Mountain. After walking around the mountain road, you will then reach Prefectural Highway No. 54. Wuhundian has already arranged vehicles on the highway.

, will take us back to the camp for our shift change."

The watchman looked around and said, "There are no lobsters here. Why is it called Lobster Hill?"

Another watchman said angrily: "There are no elephants in the Xiangxiang Mountain just now, isn't it just a place name? Victor, we are not here for tourism."

"Okok, Neville, of course I remember my true mission of coming all the way to Fanying." Watcher Victor spread his hands and said: "We are here to defeat the Demon King for the sake of justice and peace."

"But speaking of lobster, I kind of want to eat lobster. After the investigation is over, I have to try Banzakura's lobster... I heard that Ise lobster is very delicious."

Lin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this - 1.

As he spoke, Victor touched his chin and asked Lin and Sato: "But, I'm just here for the Demon King's ability. If I can grab the Demon King's ability, I can get a promotion and salary increase right away, and even become a watcher.

The second-largest person in the army after the Angel Captain... no, even the Angel Zach has to give way to me! If you steal the Demon King's ability, what rewards will there be in the Spirit Hall?"

The two watchmen, plus the two Wuhundian warriors, are the patrol unit sent by the joint investigation team to the central part of the Hida Mountains.

The Hida Mountains are actually very large. They are known as the Alps with blooming cherry blossoms. They span several prefectures from north to south. They have famous mountain climbing routes and ski centers. There are also rivers for hydropower development in the north, and there are even young volcanoes such as Norikuradake and Ontakesan.

The terrain is rugged, complex and changeable, with endless mountains. If someone drove here to commit suicide, they would probably only get a missing certificate in the end - if they died a little further away, no one would find out.

If you really want to conduct a thorough search of the Hida Mountains, let alone the Wuhundian monks, even if you throw in the nearly 30,000 police officers from the Banzhongying Police Department, they will probably only make a splash and make no sound with a plop.

Moreover, when there are many people, it is easy to get confused. They want to find the devil, not let the devil fish in troubled waters and run away in the chaos.

Therefore, the police departments in Toyama Prefecture, Gifu Prefecture and other areas are only responsible for thoroughly checking surrounding hotels and investigating stranger information, and do not need to go into the mountains to investigate; as for the investigation of the Hida Mountains, because the watchers have found the source of the trouble, the fish-man giant.

The followers of the Demon King found key information from the believers' residence, confirming that the Demon King was in the middle of the missile, so the joint investigation team divided their troops into the mountains to patrol and search.

The Wuhun Temple has the most warriors (emergency summons from all over Fanying), so the patrol team configuration is generally two extraordinarys from each country + two or three Wuhun Temple warriors, led by the samurai to patrol various mountains.

Moreover, everyone is equipped with signal flares. Once the Demon King is discovered, a signal must be sent out immediately - each patrol team is equipped with four or five extraordinary people. Even if they cannot defeat the Demon King, there is always a chance to send a signal.

This is also the reason why ordinary police are not allowed to investigate: in complex terrain like mountains, the devil's advantage over ordinary people is almost overwhelming. Any spell can make ordinary people incapacitated. Only extraordinary people can barely do it.

Resist the oppression of the devil.

Lin and Sato were originally just ordinary members of Wuhun Palace with acceptable qualifications and few connections. If they followed the normal pace, they would probably become Wuhun Palace's logistics instructors.

But they got a little attention from the higher-ups because they witnessed the ghost gang and the Crow Tengu of the Asgard God of Cookery with their own eyes.

And because of this little bit of attention, the two of them had gotten more opportunities to perform meritorious deeds in the past few months, and then they rose through the ranks and successfully became combatants of Wuhun Palace - samurai.

Sato glanced at the two watchmen and showed a polite smile of a social person: "There are rewards, and Wuhun Palace will not ignore anyone's contribution. But we warriors are here to implement justice, and we don't care about the size of the rewards.

."

Victor and Newt can basically represent the two typical foreigners in the joint investigation team: they come for justice and revenge. Like Newt, most of his relatives and friends died at the hands of the Demon King's followers, or they were affected by the source of the disaster.

; Those who come for profit, such as Victor, he just wants to obtain the powerful ability of the Demon King, and then use this power to strive for a higher status.

On the contrary, most of the Wuhundian warriors came just because of the mission. Like Lin and Sato, they had no idea of ​​snatching the Demon King's ability - they knew that their strength was low and they were not qualified to participate in the extraordinary war, so they just planned to do it honestly

For this job of leading the way, it is best not to encounter the devil and patrol peacefully until the shift change time.

No wonder they have this idea, mainly because there are no weaklings among the extraordinary beings sent by other countries, and all of them are at least three cloud level onmyoji or samurai.

How can Yigumo warriors like Lin and Sato, who only know a little combat magic, compete with them for the Demon King's head?

Victor muttered, "The Fanying people are so boring," and continued patrolling.

Because it was already dark, they turned on their tactical flashlights to illuminate the mountain road, and scanned the grass up and down the mountain from time to time. Victor was quiet for a while, and then became restless again: "Can we really find the Demon King if we search like this?"

Compared with the lifeless Newt, Victor was more talkative and easy to get along with, so Sato thought about it and chatted with him:

"If the information is correct, the Demon King stayed in Shirakawa-go yesterday and will move northwest, then she will most likely pass by Mt. Elephant Mountain, Mt. Kokoro Mountain, Mt. Akamagi, and Mt. Ogasa.

."

Sato, who had studied the map, said: "The patrol route covers the entire mountainous area. As long as she really moves here, she will definitely be discovered."

"What if she doesn't go to the mountains?" Victor asked.

"There are strict checks on highways, avenues, and railways. Even people walking on the street, regardless of gender, must undergo identity verification. As long as she walks on the street to buy food and drink, she will definitely be discovered." Sato said patiently.

Lin interjected at this time and asked: "Samurai Sakura seems to be sure that the Demon King will definitely enter the mountain, and he doesn't know where they are on guard... By the way, the information about the Demon King comes from your watchers, why is it instead?

Are you here to ask us?"

"It comes from the Watchers. What does it have to do with me?" Victor rubbed his stiff neck and said, "God only knows why Bright is always so lucky. He can find key clues and evidence just by walking around. Come early.

Fanying happened to meet a giant fish-man monster when he was relaxing... He held the clues himself and didn't even tell us."

Victor thought for a while and then said: "But, if you just listen to what he says and do it, it will be fine. Several of my colleagues have been promoted and raised their salaries because they worked with Brett, and they almost didn't do anything.

When they get hurt, Brett will always protect them."

Lin's tone was very envious, and he said longingly: "As expected of the 'Prince' Leopold, it would be great if I could follow him in doing things..."

Sato slapped Lin hard on the back of the head - Have you forgotten that you are a Soul Hall warrior? Are you so disloyal?

Lin rubbed the back of his head and said: "Oh, Uncle Sato, don't look at me saying I'm envious, but actually... I'm really envious.

You see, Mr. Leopold is just like the protagonist in an RPG game. You can get a promotion and salary increase with him and it is very safe. This kind of good thing is rare. This time we will catch the devil under his leadership, and it will definitely go smoothly.

of."

Victor also said: "Yes, yes, and Brett is easy to get along with and very popular. When this operation is over, I plan to hang out with him."

Lin raised his eyebrows——2.

Sato sighed helplessly: "I hope so."

While chatting and patrolling, they soon walked around Lobster Mountain and walked directly along the mountain road towards the highway. Victor, who had good eyesight, could even see a car parked on the highway. He stretched and smiled.

Said: "Okay, as long as we finish this journey, we can rest!"

Lin's eyebrows jumped wildly when he heard this - 3!

Lin slapped his mouth and said: "Well, Victor..."

"Huh?" Victor turned his head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Actually, I'm quite superstitious. When performing a task, if I say things like 'whatever happens after it's over' or 'whatever happens', it might..."

"What could it be?"

"We may not be able to go back safely..."

At this moment, Newt kicked off his legs, rushed towards Victor in front, and shouted: "Victor!"

Victor was also extremely fast, but he had already lost the opportunity. He felt a strong force hit him on the back of his head, and fell to the ground unconscious as stars appeared.

Newt, who was nearly two meters tall, rushed over like a rugby player, letting out a low roar from his throat, with yellow-brown armor appearing on his body. It seemed that he wanted to knock the attacker away!

However, a phantom floated under the light of the flashlight, avoiding Newt's attack like a giant. Lin and Sato only heard the sound of cracking walnuts coming from the back of Newt's head, and then Newt fell.

Two D-level extraordinary beings, who were as powerful as Mikumo Onmyoji, were killed by the attackers in the blink of an eye!

Sato and Lin immediately retreated quickly and took out the flare gun in their gun bag.

But their speed was completely inferior to the Phantom's speed. Even with the illumination of a tactical flashlight, they could not see the Phantom's appearance.

As soon as Sato took out the flare gun, he was knocked away by the Phantom. Then Lin heard a scream and saw Uncle Sato being knocked into a tree and fainted.

At this time, Lin finally caught the weapon used by Phantom - it was a stick!

He ran in a hurry, even throwing away the flashlight, and it took a lot of effort to take out the flare gun. But misfortunes never come singly. When he ran away in a hurry, he didn't look at the road, kicked a thick root on the ground, and flew out and fell.

A dog eats shit.

Crap!

Lin completely ignored the pain in his body, and endless panic and complaints spread in his heart - it was all the fault of Victor, there was no need to set a flag, now it's better, the group was destroyed!

Lin turned over and was stunned for a moment - no one was chasing him from the direction behind him.

Could it be that... I managed to survive?

The bitter Newt, the ambitious Victor, and the worldly wise Uncle Sato are all dead, and I am the only one who survives?

Before he could feel the surprise of surviving and the guilt of surviving alone, he heard the sound of leaves being crushed behind him.

He actually ran behind me?

Lin raised his stiff head and saw the weapon that killed Uncle Sato hitting his head from above.

Today's last quarter moon was very bright, and the bright moonlight provided enough light, allowing Lin to see what weapon killed the four of them at the last moment of his life.

Look, the pink stick body, the white feather shape, and the red beak that looks like a bird's beak...
