But now I really don’t have much time to think about it.

The sound of rustling footsteps came again from the other end of the alley, and the night breeze passing through the alley was mixed with the whispers of various "weird syllables" heard by Shinichi Shinichi.

Although Higashinohara was the only one who could understand the "complex and weird syllables" emitted by these strange demons, he just decided to turn around because the strange demons were chasing him too closely.

Now that he has not caught up with him, he rushes out by himself, which is no different from fireflies in the dark night, and he is easily attacked by those strange demons.

What worried Higashinohara the most was that behind this apparently organized night attack against them, the "Ling Wei" mentioned in Ma Baoli's diary was also among them.

According to the description in the diary and his analysis, Ling Wei, who is suspected to be the "leader" of the strange demons in Pujiang Community, is most likely the top of the second level of dangerous strange demons, that is, the peak strength of the sixth level.

But now under normal circumstances, Higashinohara's comprehensive strength is basically invincible against those with fifth-level abilities, and he is also capable of fighting against those in the early stages of sixth-level abilities.

But facing the six-point peak is a matter of life and death.

Shinichi Nimura did not have as many sources of information for analysis as Higashinohara, but he had an inexplicable trust in Higashinohara, who was a little too tender-faced.

The two of them left as soon as they could, and they were separated from the strange demon behind them.

But it is not unreasonable to say that "looking at the mountain and running to death".

Under the dim moonlight, the Pearl Tower, which stretched diagonally from the ground to the sky and inserted into the sea of ​​clouds like a road to the sky, seemed to be right in front of them, but in fact it took them quite a while to arrive.

During this period, the strange demon behind him was hot on his heels.

Relying on the [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] to see the surroundings in the dark and his familiarity with the city of Jianghai in his previous life, Higashinohara tried several times to get rid of those "tails", but unfortunately there was no result.

This is obviously not normal.

Higashinohara secretly guessed that nine out of ten of the leaders or generals who organized and commanded these strange demons might have some strange demons that had the ability to track them.

Could it be Ling Wei?

However, they left no one behind along the way, and the strange demon was not able to catch up again.

When they arrived at the foot of the Pearl Tower, Shinmura Shinmoto thought that they would be the first to arrive here, led by Higashinohara who had an excellent "sense of direction".

Unexpectedly, not far from the main entrance of the Pearl Tower, a woman with light blue hair immediately attracted his attention. The person in front of him was obviously Hela from the investigation team.

Before Shinichi Nimura came up and asked, "Why are you so fast?" Hela, who was staring blankly at the Pearl Tower, heard the noise and turned around to find Higashinohara and Shinichi Nimura. She immediately walked over and looked around and said:

"You guys are here? Where are the others?"

Higashinohara glanced at Hela, without saying anything more or asking any more questions.

Shinichi Nimura swallowed down the doubts surging in his heart and replied, "We all dispersed when we evacuated, and the others should still be on the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the darkness not far away. The nerves of the three of them suddenly became tense. Only when they saw clearly did they realize that it was Gray Mane.

Gray Mane's right arm seemed to be injured. He ran over with a gloomy expression and hugged his right arm. Without even looking at the three people standing here, he found a bench on the street and sat down, then began to treat himself.

bandage.

In the darkness, Higashinohara glanced at Gray Mane, who was some distance away from them, and vaguely felt that his wounds did not appear to be caused by an attack by a strange demon.

Instead, it looked like it had been scratched by a sharp instrument such as a long sword.

Can aliens use swords?

Higashinohara's brows frowned slightly.

At this moment, in the darkness in all directions in front of the main entrance of the Pearl Tower, bursts of rapid footsteps sounded one after another.

After the members of the investigation team rushed out of the shadow of the dark tall building while being chased by strange demons, they saw Higashinohara and others waiting under the Pearl Tower. They all gathered together with happy expressions on their faces.

In less than three minutes.

Under the Pearl Tower, nine of the ten people evacuated by the investigation team tonight have appeared, leaving only the last hired human ability user who has not yet arrived.

At this time, Ji Yuanwen, who was still frightened, walked over and asked respectfully in a low voice next to Gray Mane, "There is someone who has not returned to the team. What should I do, captain? Should we wait for him here?"

Gray Mane pointed out a "clear path" to everyone tonight in the danger of a sudden attack. This suddenly made the frightened Jiyuanwen people seem to have found their backbone, and they became more determined to hold on tight.

This thigh is surprisingly able to ride on the huge ship of the Adjudication Department in the future.

Gray Mane was just bandaging the wound on his arm. Hearing Ji Yuanwen's words, he shook his head without thinking and said, "No need to wait. He can only blame himself for not being able to get here."

Shinichi Nimura, who was traveling with Higashinohara, may have just experienced abandoning his teammates, and now he is about to abandon his teammates again. Hearing this, he couldn't bear to say, "The one who didn't come is Tsukikawa-san, how about we wait a little longer?

He, by the way, isn’t he with you, captain?”

Hearing Shinichi Nimura's words, everyone was stunned. Immediately, the corner of their eyes drifted towards Gray Mane, who stared at Shinichi Nimura with a gloomy face and shook his head expressionlessly.

He shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Gray Mane was unwilling to dwell on such "little things". His mind was racing at high speed, thinking about how to complete the task of the Judgment Division and how to further get rid of these strange monsters to save his life.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Higashinohara, who had been silent all this time, stared at the darkness in the shadows of the high-rise buildings, and said in an unhurried tone, "They stopped."

Did they stop?

Everyone couldn't help but be startled when they heard this.

Someone looked carefully into the thick ink-like darkness, and sure enough, there were the whispers and messy footsteps that were chasing after him, making the back of the head numb.

From the moment they arrived in front of the Pearl Tower, everything disappeared, leaving only the constant "sobbing" sound of wind whistling through the high-rise buildings in the city in the surrounding air.

What's happening here?

Everyone had some doubts in their minds for a while.
