In the center of Kinoko-cho, there is a very wide park.
Here there are dense shades of trees, green jade, and a shallow lake in the center, reflecting the full moon tonight.
However, almost no one comes here usually, and it is almost deserted, so it was set up as one of the five major fulcrums covering the boundary of Kinoko Town.
Aoko's mission tonight is to patrol near this park.
There are only two fulcrums left in the barrier. If Orange takes action tonight, he will definitely target the two fulcrums, so the probability of encountering Orange is one-half.
Qingzi is ready for the decisive battle.
But she never imagined that the final scene would be so ironic.
"Uh...ah..."
Both feet are in the air.
The throat was locked by a slender arm.
The trachea was blocked, air could not enter the lungs at all, and the voice could not be produced. He could only struggle to produce difficult syllables.
Her hands tightly clenched her opponent's arm, and her legs kept kicking her opponent's abdomen, but the opponent was completely indifferent and just looked at her with pure green eyes, as if studying how she suffocated to death.
.
To die.
Really dying.
Qingzi felt that the oxygen in his chest was getting less and less, his brain gradually became blank, all the strength in his body was lost from his body, and even his slight struggle gradually disappeared.
Unreasonable in the end.
There is nothing graceful about the suffocated death state.
But she is indeed going to die like this now.
——The blond boy who pinched her throat.
He was a short boy, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was wearing a white down jacket, with blond hair that reached his neck, and his facial features had European characteristics.
What's more important is his eyes, those green pupils, which seem to have no idea of cruelty at all. They just have a simple look on their face, and they are killing Qingzi as a matter of course.
"Okay, Beo, put her down."
A mature female voice came from the shadows of the trees.
"Okay, Miss Orange."
When the blond boy's name was called, he put Qingzi down happily, then took a few steps back, leaving the scene to his master.
A woman in a green dress walked out from the shadows of the trees. She had short dark red hair that was darker than dusk, and wore black-rimmed glasses on her face. Her expression looked very gentle.
"I haven't seen you for three and a half years, Qingzi."
Aozaki Orange came to Aoko and reached out to take off the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
As if a switch was pressed, her edges and corners suddenly became sharper, her red pupils instantly became extremely sharp, and her whole person was full of aggression.
"After all this time, you still haven't made any progress."
"Ahem!"
Qingzi collapsed on the ground and covered his throat with his hands.
Her face turned red, her lungs heaved violently, and she greedily absorbed the air.
"Haha...you have changed a lot...ahem...Fruit Auntie!"
She said the name she had been holding back for a long time in a mocking tone.
Even after experiencing a near-death experience, the strong look on her face has not worn away at all, and she still maintains a strong self, without the slightest bit of decadence that is frightened by death.
"Aunt...?!"
Cheng Zi's breathing stagnated, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"I'm only 21 years old! I'm far away from my aunt!"
That's right.
Although she looks so mature, she seems to have the temperament of a royal lady in her twenties or eighties, but that's just because she was born precocious. In fact, she is only 21 years old.
Orange was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, looking at Aoko with increasingly unkind eyes.
"Forget it, I originally planned to have a few more words with you."
Orange immediately became uninterested.
"Beo, I leave it to you. You can torture her as much as you want. It doesn't matter if she loses a few legs or breaks a few bones. As long as she doesn't kill her."
"You are so capricious, Miss Orange."
The blond boy named Beo stepped forward and complained to Cheng Zi.
Then he looked at Qingzi on the ground, and a pure smile appeared on his face again, as if darkness never existed in him from the beginning.
"I heard from Miss Chengzi that you have the strongest mystery in the world. Is that true?"
He squatted down, keeping his eyes level with Aoko, and then stretched out his right hand.
"I came out of the village to fight a powerful mystery, so I am very interested in what Miss Orange calls 'the strongest mystery in the world' - if you don't use it anymore, I will take your
The body was dismembered?"
His right hand was enveloped in a golden flame.
In that layer of light, his right hand gradually began to deform, from a slender human wrist to an animal claw covered with golden hair, and fell towards Aoko.
His movements were not fast, like a cat playing with a mouse.
His expression was very calm and scornful, as if he looked down upon everything in the world.
But Qingzi felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Facing the approach of the blond boy, she jumped back quickly, but the golden beast's claw approached like a shadow, so sharp that it seemed like it could break her slender body with one blow.
"A familiar?"
While Beo was playing with Aoko, Orange looked up at the sky.
A black gray starling is hovering in the sky. Its pitch-black appearance is enough to blend into the night sky, but it cannot be hidden from the eyes of Orange, a professional magician.
"A familiar with beads?"
Orange knows that kind of bird, and only Youzhu can make that kind of familiar to monitor the situation in the city.
"The situation over there is much more difficult than here. How dare she pay attention here?"
Orange sighed in his heart.
To be fair, she didn't want to kill Youzhu, but the situation didn't seem to allow it.
If you face that enemy, Youju will definitely die.
After all, the level of mystery is so different that it is impossible for a modern magician to face that enemy head-on, not even the familiar of the great witch.
Orange ignored the gray starling.
Her sister's screams could be heard in her ears, but she was completely indifferent. She even took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and started puffing away.
As long as he doesn't die, it doesn't matter how he is tortured. This is the order she personally gave to her familiar Beo, and of course she won't be the slightest bit soft-hearted.
"call--!"
But suddenly, a violent sound of wind came from a distance and quickly approached here.
"What's going on?"
Orange looked into the distance in confusion.
It was a little dark shadow.
It was very small at first, but it quickly grew in size, and the outline of a human being gradually emerged.
"Flying? No, floating... neither, it's landing - could it be ejection?!"
Orange's expression suddenly became tense.
She concentrated her attention and focused her sight on the human being who was thrown at the extremely fast speed, and then she saw a very familiar and extremely aggressive face.
