For Fangzheng, even if her doppelganger was just a high school girl, it was not difficult for her to deal with these crazy guys with her experience. With a flash of Frostmourne, the hammer in the villager's hand flew away. But this did not make the villager retreat or give up. Even though he was pointed at by the gleaming blade, he still let out a shrill scream and pounced on the prey in front of him.
Sure enough, they were all crazy.
Fangzheng — or rather, Dusk sighed softly. She stretched out Frostmourne and pierced through the body of the villager in front of her. A wisp of white spiritual energy emerged from the villager's body and was absorbed into Frostmourne. The villager fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
"Miss Harukino, are you okay?"
At this time, Risa Enda, who had been hiding at the side, came out and asked worriedly. Dusk shook her head and sheathed her sword.
"I'm fine."
"That's great. Did you …. Did you kill him?"
Risa Enda asked anxiously as she looked at the villager on the ground. When Dusk was about to answer, she suddenly turned around and stood in front of Risa Enda. She swung Frostmourne forward.
* Bang!!! *
Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the bullet hit the blade of the sword and hit the glass next to it. This immediately made Nida Risa scream, and Misuzu also hurriedly grabbed Nida Risa's hand, taking her to the other side of the house to hide.
Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be a sniper here. This place is much scarier than Yanan Town.
Thinking of this, Dusk turned around and looked at Risa Enda, who was hiding beside her.
"Miss Enda, has this village always been like this?"
"I don't know. I haven't been back for a long time, and my sister didn't tell me it would become like this …. What the hell happened here …."
Risa Enda was also dumbfounded. She shook her head vigorously.
It seems that I can't get any clues from Risa Enda. Dusk thought for a moment, then glanced at Risa Enda. While the other party was not paying attention, she reached under her skirt and took out a flintlock out of thin air.
He remembered that when he was with Ally, he gave her the characteristics of a vampire and a werewolf. Now, he would give her the ability of a magic bullet shooter that he had devoured in the Hellsing world.
Upon thinking of this name, Fangzheng couldn't help but smile. When he set up this avatar, apart from using Black Snow Girl's figure and hairstyle, his design was basically based on the North Mountain Xiu he had met in his previous world. After all, the North Mountain Xiu was the girl Fangzheng liked the most out of all the girls he had met in his previous world. Unfortunately, they weren't fated to be together. Therefore, in this world, Fangzheng thought of the name Xiu when he named his avatar.
All in all, it could be considered a souvenir.
But then again, foreigners seemed to have the habit of putting the name of their savior on their children in order to commemorate their savior. Fangzheng couldn't understand this. Someone saved your life and died, and the way you repay him is to give his name to your son? Raise him as your son?
What the hell is this custom?
Forget it, now is not the time to care about this. Xiu retracted her strange thoughts. She strode forward, raised the musket in her hand, aimed it forward, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!!
The dazzling bullets drew complex and peculiar trajectories in the pitch-black night sky before disappearing into the darkness.
After a while, a dull sound was heard, and then everything returned to normal.
All right, it's done.
Xiu put down the musket in her hand and looked behind her. At this time, Risa Enda also walked over.
"Miss Kasugano, who … are you?"
Xiu was not surprised by Risa Enda's question. She was holding a greatsword in one hand and a musket in the other, and she even killed a crazy villager. If she was still regarded as an ordinary person, then it was not her who had a problem, but the other party who had a problem.
Fortunately, Fangzheng did not travel through so many worlds for nothing. He could naturally come up with a variety of excuses.
"I'm an exorcist."
"An exorcist?"
"That's right. I sensed that there seemed to be some kind of special demonic energy here, so I came to check it out. But I didn't expect this place to become like this … Forget it, I'm used to it."
As she spoke, Xiu looked around. She could feel that the current feeling here was actually the same as Yanan's. The village had been separated from the real world and was currently in a different dimension.
Hmm … a town sealed in a different dimension, a crazy villager … Well, now all that was left was the Blood Moon.
This was completely the Japanese version of Yanan.
"What are you going to do?"
Xiu looked at Risa Enda and asked. Although she was not sure whether the young woman in front of her was the "protagonist" of this place, Xiu was sure that she was just an ordinary person without any power.
"This village has been swallowed into a different dimension. If we don't solve the problem here, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. I'm going to investigate the inside of the village carefully. What about you? "
"I … I want to go with you."
Hearing Xiu's question, Risa Enda hesitated for a moment, then clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind.
"The village has become like this. I don't know how my sister is doing. I want to find her!"
"Well, then come with me. But you have to be mentally prepared. Since the village has become like this, then your sister … will have to depend on luck."
"… Okay."
Hearing Misaki's answer, Lisa Enda's expression slightly stiffened, and then she nodded. Then, the two of them set off again and headed for the village. Although they had not been back for a long time, Risa Enda was born and raised in this village, so she was more familiar with the situation here. She suggested going to the local hospital to find her sister first, and Xiu did not object.
When the two of them crossed the mountain road and arrived at the village, they soon saw a villager lying on the ground not far away. The villager was lying on the ground with a shotgun beside him. It seemed to be the guy who sniped the two of them just now, but the villager's head had been blown off. It looked quite horrifying.
Seeing the corpse, Risa Enda could not help but take a few steps back before she moved forward again. But at that moment, an unexpected scene happened.
"Ow … Ow … Ow …"
Accompanied by a zombie-like scream, the corpse of the villager whose head had been blown off suddenly began to stand up slowly. At the same time, the wound on its head healed rapidly. In just a moment, the villager whose head had been blown off by Xiu had returned to his previous appearance. He looked at the two of them and reached out to grab the shotgun next to him.
Then, the villager was instantly pierced through by a dark greatsword. As his soul was completely absorbed, the villager fell again and became a corpse.
That was interesting.
Xiu put away her greatsword and looked curiously at the corpse of the villager in front of her. As a Time Dragon, she could of course feel that the resurrection of this villager was not like a virus in Resident Evil, nor was it like an infection or mutation, but more like a time reversal … So, strictly speaking, the villager just now was not "cured", it was just that time slowly flowed back to before he was injured.
But now, there was no hope for him. Frostmourne had already absorbed the soul, so there was no point in recovering the body.
In this way, Xiu followed Risa Enda all the way to the depths of the village. Along the way, they also encountered several villagers who had gone crazy. Xiu was naturally not afraid of them. She directly used Frostmourne to absorb the souls of those who were in melee combat, while she used her Magic Shooter to kill those who were sniping with a shotgun and then absorbed their souls …
This made Risa Enda, who was following Xiu, feel a lot more relaxed. In any case, she was very relieved to have a companion with strong combat power by her side.
"That … Miss Haruhino, have you encountered this kind of situation before?"
Walking beside Xiu, Risa Enda, who no longer had to worry about her life, began to satisfy her curiosity.
"Yes, I've encountered a similar thing in a foreign country before. It was a small town called Yanan. At that time, the town was swallowed up by a fog and fell into a different world. All the villagers went crazy and mutated into terrifying monsters. It took me a lot of effort to solve that problem. I just didn't expect to encounter the same thing in Japan. "
"How did this happen in that place called Yanan?"
"The specific explanation is very complicated. In short, the people in that place tried to make themselves more powerful through a ritual, but it went too far, causing the whole town to be destroyed …"
"A ritual!"
Risa Enda suddenly exclaimed when she heard this.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a ritual in our village too! I remember when I was a child, my mother once told me that the Kanzaki family in the village would carry out a mysterious ritual. Is this also related to the ritual? "
"Ritual? Do you know what kind of ritual it is? "
"I don't know about that …."
Risa Enda shook her head in frustration when she heard Xiu's question.
"I only know that it seems to be a very terrifying ritual. The villagers are not allowed to leave their homes on the night of the ritual, and they have to close the doors and windows. As for what exactly the ritual is about … I don't know."
"Then after we find your sister, let's go to the Kanzaki family and have a look. Maybe we can find a way to get out of this trouble."
"Okay …."
While the two were talking, suddenly, a voice came from the darkness not far away.
"Sensei … Help! Sensei!!! "
It sounded like the voice of a little girl. Her voice came through the loudspeaker and echoed over the whole village, but soon, the voice disappeared.
"That's the elementary school …. Is someone trapped there?"
"Let's go save them first."
Xiu quickly made a decision.
"In this situation, the more people we can save, the better."
"Okay, I know where the school is. I'll lead the way."
Although she was very worried about her sister, Risa Enda could not just leave the little girl begging for help. If she was alone, she might have given up, but with a girl who could kill anyone in her way and was unparalleled in the face of the crazy villagers, she naturally mustered up her courage.
Along the way, the two did encounter a lot of villagers who were alarmed by the loudspeaker. These villagers were just like the hospitable lunatics in Yanan. When they saw the two, they screamed and rushed over, waving all kinds of weapons in their hands to welcome them. Not only that, compared to the lunatics in Yanan, the villagers here seemed to retain a certain degree of rationality.
Just like when Hayashi and Risa Enda were crossing the village, they passed by a ramen shop, and there was a crazy zombified policeman eating ramen inside. When he saw the two of them, he immediately took out his gun and attacked them. Then, of course, he was killed by Hayashi with a slash of her sword.
But would a lunatic still eat ramen?
To be honest, the situation in this village was even stranger than Yanan. The villagers in Yanan had basically all gone crazy. Those who were contaminated by the Ancient God's blood were crazy and did not seem like normal people at all. But the situation here was different. Although the villagers here were as "hospitable" as Yanan, as long as they did not attack, they would behave like ordinary people.
For example, the policeman eating ramen. Xiu also saw a lunatic fiddling with something next to the phone booth, as if he was going to make a phone call. There was also a lunatic holding a sickle and trying to play with the flowers and plants in his house. So compared with the lunatics in Yanan, these guys seemed to have a certain degree of rationality.
Of course, from a certain point of view, this was even scarier.
After killing the villagers along the way, the two came to the elementary school. This time, there was no need for Risa Enda to lead the way. Xiu soon heard a crash coming from the gymnasium. She walked over without hesitation, slashed open the closed door of the gymnasium, and walked in.
"Over there!"
At the same time, Risa Enda hurriedly raised her flashlight and shone it in the direction of the sound. Under the light, they could clearly see that in front of the high platform next to the gymnasium, a young woman was entangled with a fat middle-aged man. The latter seemed to have gone crazy. At this moment, he was holding a metal bat and trying to attack the young woman standing on the high platform. The latter was holding a crowbar and was entangled with him. But compared to the berserk middle-aged man, the young woman was obviously at a disadvantage.
"Miss Harukino!"
"I know."
Before Risa Enda finished her sentence, Grizzly flashed and appeared behind the middle-aged man. She thrust Frostmourne forward abruptly. Along with a cold glint, the pitch-black greatsword penetrated the man's body.
