The huge black crow crossed the void and landed on a vast white ice field.
The snowflakes fluttered, mixed with the magic power surging around the crow, forming a hazy mist. The sunlight fell on the mist, and it seemed to have turned into a white dome with a blurry edge. The black shadow in the egg was already a little blurred, making people unable to see the crow's appearance.
Inside the dome.
The black crow curled up into a ball, with its wings gathered in front of its belly, its head tilted aside, and its eyes lost its spirit. It was dead. Sure enough, the feathers on its body were slowly disintegrating one by one, and the dissipated magic power melted directly into the void, as if it had never existed in this world.
“——This is Taohua!”
Behind the window of Sanyou Bookstore, Huang Huali's fat face was tightly pressed against the window glass, looking outside, but she did not have the young wizard coming and going on the pedestrian street, but reflected the dead crow on the ice field, with a little sensation in her tone: "It may take a hundred years to get enough magic to become a great wizard from the natural world, but it only takes one minute... or even shorter to return this magic to this world. If the old man is still there, I really want to ask him, is it that we are refining those magic powers for the world, or is the world plundering the magic power by us... Oh! Why are you alive again?"
It sighed, thinking about the profound content belonging to the category of magic philosophy, and was hesitating whether to make a quote note, but suddenly it found that the damn crow moved slightly.
It seems to come alive.
But immediately, Huang Huali denied this possibility.
"No, I'm not alive, I'm still dead." It murmured, putting my face closer to the glass: "The crow didn't move, what was moving was the thing in its belly..."
The words have not ended.
An arm stained with black blood stretched out from the crow's belly, followed by the second arm, the third and the fourth.
Four bloody arms pulled hard along the wound, and the dead crow's belly was cut open from the inside out, and two short figures stumbled out of the crow's belly.
Zhou Zhou and Zhu Zhu.
Or.
Nikita and the Faceless Demon.
The cut-out belly accelerated the process of the crow's transformation. At the same time, the black blood stains stained on the banshee's bodies were like frost under the sun, quickly sublimating and disappearing into the void after encountering the air.
In just a short time, only two short, lonely figures were left on the ice field.
Zhou Zhou looked at the clearing where the crow disappeared and was silent. Her figure slowly stretched and grew taller in silence, supporting the wide blood-red robe again.
"—I'm still alive!" Zhu Zhu patted his chest, with a little disbelief in his tone: "Lord Xiangliu is here! I thought I had just died with you!"
She grabbed the sleeve of the tall banshee beside her and looked excited.
Nikita touched her head.
"We won't die...we will continue to live." She lowered her eyelids and said softly.
The little banshee happily surrounds her, jumping around for a few times, and suddenly stopped: "——What's next? Where are we going? Are we still looking for Thomas? This time, because you heard that he is here, you came here and fell into the trick of the wizards..."
"No more searches."
Nikita took a long breath and looked up at the gray sky: "I understand what he meant. If we were together, the probability of being chased is higher... When he wanted to see me, he would naturally come to me."
While speaking, she shook off the black bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet fell to the ground and saw the wind growing. In a moment, it turned into a black dragon with three heads. It was wrapped around and crawled on the ice, looking at the banshees with a flattering look.
Nikita pulled the little banshee, jumped on the dragon's back, pointing to the north of the world: "——Now, we'll go back to the fog!"
"oh."
The little banshee nodded with a very small amplitude, bit her finger, and finally couldn't help asking: "Where is Zhou Zhou? Will she come out? Is she alive or dead?"
The black dragon waved its tail and broke through the eggshell condensed by mist. The strong wind blew towards him, tearing Nikita's voice into intermittent fragments: "——She is in a bad mood recently and probably won't come out... She is still alive... just like me."
Twist!
The brisk knock on the door interrupted the last sound of the Banshee.
The face of Huang Huali, who was stuck to the window glass, did not move, but just rolled her eyes and looked in the direction of the door, but saw an unexpected figure.
Squeak!
A small gap was opened in the bookstore door.
The guests outside the door took advantage of the opportunity to squeeze in.
"What are you here? Can't you see the four big words "Suspension of Business" on the door?" Huang Huali looked at the uninvited guest with a bad temper after taking off her hood, revealing a yellow face and a big back.
"The divination group made a small plan some time ago, intending to bring Thomas and the others back." The dean of Jiuyou Academy did not exchange greetings and directly expressed his intention: "But the plan went wrong... So the divination group added the plan and wanted to catch Nikita first. Then another one went wrong."
The cat knows what he wants to say.
But he didn't intend to agree and deliberately interrupted the other party's rhythm: "Nikita? Is that little girl who has made trouble on the island several times? How do you want to catch her? Send out a legendary wizard to bully the young for the big one?"
"It doesn't matter how big or small this kind of thing."
Lao Yao looked at the bad-tempered cat on the windowsill calmly and explained slowly: "It's just that we have to take care of too much things recently and have no time to waste on children, so we arranged for the teaching assistant team to complete this task...with a little simple magic."
"Ha! Simple!"
Huang Huali pulled her ears, her tone with a little contempt: "... Although the child was born, it seemed that there was an invisible umbilical cord link between her and her mother. Based on the magic principle of mysterious aggregation, she would follow this umbilical cord to her place of birth, and her mother would follow this umbilical cord to find her daughter. Finding her daughter means finding Nikita. It's such a simple truth!"
“That’s the problem.”
Professor Yao's expression became a little serious: "The school successfully found Nikita, as easy as finding Thomas... But Nikita escaped from the 'impossible' again. I know you also watched the scene just now, from Teacher Zhou to a crow, and this plan was out of control again..."
"Nikita has undergone Thomas' modification surgery, and there is the flesh and blood of crows in her body. It is not surprising that it is contaminated with the concept of Taoism." Huang Huali muttered, not continuing to pretend to be stupid, but was still avoiding the important things.
ps, there is also the last chapter tomorrow (against expectations_(:з」∠)_)
