"I said a long time ago, you must remember to knock on the door before entering the room!"

"I'm sorry, I should have thought a long time ago that men are in need. I didn't do my duty as a girlfriend, or we ...... now."

"Uh, the demand is gone, let alone ......"

When Sui Yu said this, he pointed out the door and heard the double screams just now, and the battle concubines who hurried to it said to Philomena: "I'm afraid we don't have this time!" ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? A pair of rabbit ears stretched out from behind the crowd, and Millie, who was standing guard with sensitive rabbit ears, walked and shook out of the crowd, and then said loudly in a somewhat out of tune voice to the clothes rack in the room: "Sister Mina, you made that sharp scream just now, right?!" Did you finally decide to be sorry for your sisters and steal it by yourself first?! ”

That's a righteous word, of course, if it weren't for Millie's hand referring to the clothes rack......

"Millie? What's wrong with you? ”

Hearing Philomena's voice, Millie, who finally realized that she was looking in the wrong direction, turned her head to look at the gate and covered her forehead and said, "It's too sudden! Everything was so sudden! I was standing guard alert when I suddenly heard a deafening scream! So, I was immediately dizzy by this deafening sound, and I just returned to normal! ”

Seeing Millie solemnly shyly facing the half-open door and saying that she was back to normal, Philomena slapped her forehead and ordered her to the warlord who was watching the excitement: "Hurry up and take this guy down and rest in bed for a while!" Cut! I'm embarrassed to say something full of vigilance to stand guard.,I think it's using the sensitive rabbit ears against the wall to listen to the window root and want to get information from Yu's dream words! ”

Philomena broke Millie's attempt, so the girl covered her head and pretended to faint, and then Millie, who "passed out", was taken away by Wendy.

Watching the miserable Millie drift away with Wendy's support, Sui Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too acute!" ”

Then Sui Yu remembered that Philomena had broken into his room early in the morning, and it seemed that she had made a major discovery. So he hurriedly asked Philomena: "By the way, when you came in just now, you said that the scope of the culprit has been determined?" ”

"Almost!" Philomena spread out the map in her hand on the table, then pointed to the many black dots and notes she had marked on it and said to Sui Yu, "This is an intuitive map I built by summarizing the information on the missing children obtained by the sisters during this time. ”

As soon as the other warriors heard that Philomena had discovered the culprit's location, they immediately gathered around.

And Sui Yu immediately felt dizzy after glancing at the map that had been covered with black dots and a lot of abbreviated text, and he was very envious of Millie's unlucky child, at least she could now lie in bed without facing this map that was enough to make the scalp tingle of dense phobia.

However, Sui Yu looked at it for a long time, and he didn't find anything special about Philomena's map.

Seeing Sui Yu, they didn't see the problem. As Wendy sends Millie to the bedroom and reflexively returns, Philomena immediately asks Wendy to make a crystal clear ice chip on the map to cover the entire map.

As the war queens have a deeper understanding of the power of will, the war queens have a stronger control over magic.

No, Wendy can condense a piece of ice that works like glass and doesn't melt yet, spread it on the map, and let Philomena write and draw on it.

"I attached the basic information to the map and found something interesting! Look! Philomena said as she began to draw circles along a point with her brush.

Yes, in Sui Yu's view, Philomena is constantly drawing spiral-like circles around a certain point on the map.

While drawing a circle, Philomena explained: "I accidentally found a feature that needs to be paid attention to by summarizing the pattern of the time when the children disappeared, that is, except for the well-known feature that the missing children are lost at night, the order of the disappearance of those children as a whole starts from a certain central point and continues to extend outward!" ”

After Philomena blurred some of the time differences, forcibly dividing most of the same time together and connecting them online. Sui Yu found that although the disappearances of children in the past few months seemed chaotic, they showed a characteristic of spreading from a certain center to all around.

"That means that as long as we can know what is in the center, we can basically find the traces of those missing children, and at worst, we can find the original hiding place of the perpetrator and deduce the approximate identity of the murderer! Isn't that so, Mina? ”

"Yes! That's why I'll come to you as soon as I found out when I was sorting out the data......" At the end, Philomena's pretty face flushed, probably remembering the scene she had just seen when she rushed into the house.

Sui Yu may have developed an invulnerable face under the training of other people's strange eyes. So although he remembered that he was bumped into by Philomena just now when he was dealing with the problem of excessive masculinity in the morning, he still selectively put the embarrassing scene just now behind him at this time, and whispered to Philomena with an affectionate face: "Mina." Thank you for your hard work, and you've been working on that data early in the morning. ”

"It's not hard!" Philomena smiled happily and said to Sui Yu, "I'm willing to do anything for you!" ”

Well, this is not the time to consider the meaning of Philomena's pun, seeing that the mystery may be solved, Sui Yu immediately gave instructions: "Everyone hurry up and eat, and immediately after eating, set off near the center point to see if there is anything suspicious!" ”

The reason why it is so anxious. It is because it is not difficult to see from the map according to the distribution of time that although the disappearances seem to occur irregularly, one in the east and one in the west, on the whole, they still maintain a trend of spreading outward with the center as the center.

And the center point, which barely moves much, naturally gives the impression that the perpetrator is in the center, and as a result. Sui Yu, who is anxious to complete the task, will be so eager.

After eating a sumptuous lunch, Sui Yu directly asked the battle queens to pack the rest of the breakfast and use it directly as Chinese food, and then the group, including Millie, who finally returned to normal, and the little cat girl Xue, who had no combat effectiveness, followed Sui Yu towards the "center point" on the map.

In fact, Sui Yu once tried to keep the little cat girl in a safe place when he felt that this task might be very dangerous, but he didn't know why. The little cat girl has obviously become more bold recently, and even in the past few days, when Sui Yu and they went out to investigate, she dared to stay alone at the hotel that Sui Yu and they booked, waiting for Sui Yu and them to return.

But no matter how Sui Yu coaxed him this time, Xue said that he would follow Sui Yu in whatever he said. So Sui Yu, who felt sorry for the little cat woman, finally had to take her with her, of course, for the sake of safety, Sui Yu still took out a city scroll that could quickly teleport back to Avalon and handed it to the little cat woman, so that she must use it as soon as possible when she encounters danger.

After explaining the Nth time that the little cat girl must be obedient. Philomena compared the map and said to Sui Yu, "This is the neighborhood!" ”

At this time, what appeared in front of Sui Yu and the others was a half-sized village and town between the village and the small town. And because the area is full of plains, and the mountains are very small, so the monsters were dispersed by mercenaries or city guards far away, so it was rare for this village not to build walls like other villages and towns.

So Sui Yu and his entourage easily rode into this village and town, and after inquiring with the local villagers, they knew that this was really a small town, and the name of the town was called Puppet Town.

It is said that the puppet town has never had walls, because in the past, a famous puppet master lived in the town. And relying on the tireless puppets who are not afraid of death to protect this town, so even in the chaotic period when the Kingdom of Talaya was founded in the past, the puppet town was not affected by the war.

And later. The puppet master passed away, but because of the unique location of the puppet town, there was no need to worry about encountering beast disasters, so the city wall was naturally not built.

Maybe it's because of their own good looks, Sui Yu is very easy for them to inquire about information, and those young people who are asked are eager to tell everything they know, just to be able to talk to the war concubines more.

Sui Yu said that at this time, it is better for him to be a beautiful man quietly, and he will not participate in the investigation of intelligence or anything. so as not to suffer unnecessary injuries......

The investigation went very smoothly, not only because of the appearance of the war concubines that made the investigation work go very smoothly. At the same time, it is also because there are also many children missing in the puppet town.

The townsfolk who have lost their children, as well as those who have not lost their children, are eager to tell the Warriors about any disturbances, hoping that they can calm down the incident and allow them to live happily ever after.

However, because of the too much information investigated, Sui Yu really didn't know where to start investigating. If it is a village with only about 100 households, it is better to say that the puppet town is small but there are thousands of townspeople, plus some floating population. It is obviously unrealistic to use a one-by-one approach to find out the culprits of missing children.

So Sui Yu and the others had to open a room in the town's hotel, hoping to analyze the clues of the child's disappearance by gathering the newly obtained information.

However, after piecing together the fragments of intelligence with everyone for a long time, Sui Yu was decisively defeated.

At this time, Sui Yu kept sighing in his heart that if this was a game world, then he could ask the guys from the professional puzzle studio to have a headache, and at the same time led the little cat girl to wander aimlessly through the streets of this town with the afterglow of the setting sun.

It's not that he intends to find any anomalies through this kind of wandering around (Sui Yucai didn't think that he could get any useful information from wandering aimlessly). He just wanted to relax a little by leading the little catwoman for a walk.

Perhaps affected by the disappearance, the night in Puppet Town is very quiet.

Perhaps in the past, when night fell, many small vendors would come out to set up their stalls, but at this time, due to the horror caused by the disappearances, the streets were very few pedestrians.

In particular, the children who were the key missing objects were almost nowhere to be seen, and the few children that were occasionally seen before were also found by their families when it was getting dark.

"Come home with me!"

"I don't, I want to play a little longer!"

"Go home! If you don't go home, watch out for the goblins who are coming and taking you away! ”

Hearing the words of the parent scaring his child, Sui Yu couldn't help but walk over and say to the old man who looked a little old: "If you always use lies to scare your child, you may let your child take the lie as true in the future, and then it won't be good!" ”

"Lies? I just said some rumors that haven't been confirmed yet, but it's not a lie, is it? The old man looked confused, as if he couldn't figure out why Sui Yu accused him of lying.

"Honestly?!" Sui Yu was a little blindsided. Then he asked the old man a little strangely: "Didn't you just say that a little goblin would come to catch your grandson?" But are leprechauns real? ”

"The leprechauns are real! The town has had a legend of goblins for a long time, and in recent times, goblins have been seen flying around only at night! Some people even speculate that the child's disappearance was captured by the goblin. But I don't really believe that the goblins took the children, because the goblins don't seem to attack people. Because I once saw a scene where a leprechaun flew across the night sky, and at that time the leprechaun was like he didn't see me! And it's definitely true! Because I still remember vividly that night there was a moon of fire hanging in the sky! ”

After listening to the old man's explanation, Sui Yu was also stunned, and then he keenly grasped a key word. That is, the frequency of leprechaun appearances seems to have become more frequent until recently.

So Sui Yu couldn't help but have a thought, that is, could the child's disappearance really be related to those weird "little goblins" as the other townspeople speculated?

Although the locals seemed to regard the goblin as a normal phenomenon, and even the old man in front of him didn't believe that the goblin would take the child away, Sui Yu always felt that the appearance of a strange creature like a goblin here was full of weirdness.

Sure enough, when Sui Yu used information magic to contact Ai Xue and tell Ai Xue the legend of the little goblin, Ai Xue replied categorically: "There are absolutely no goblins in this vicinity, because there is no hiding place such as a forest nearby, and the goblins will definitely be discovered if they exist!" Unless those goblins are hiding in someone's house, and it must be in some kind of rich family or aristocratic family. Otherwise it will definitely be discovered! ”

And it is obviously very unreasonable for humans to hide goblins, which seem harmless and have little power, so Ai Xue finally made a judgment, that is, the legendary goblins may be something else that was mistaken by the unwitting locals as goblins, plus this mysterious phenomenon called goblins also only occurs at night and is obviously the same time as the disappearance of those children, so Ai Xue also made a similar judgment as Sui Yu, these mysterious goblins may really have some unknown connection with the disappearance of children!

So Sui Yu immediately rushed back to the hotel and began to discuss with Philomena how to track down these elusive little goblins!

That night, Sui Yu assigned Fanny and Kanami to take turns patrolling, while Wendy set up a water mirror to monitor the night sky through a nearby river and well. But the first night didn't yield anything.

For the next few days, the warrior queens took turns searching for the elprechauns at night. During the day, he searched around for the history and frequency of the legend of the little goblin, and at the same time did not forget to collect more possible clues by the way (Sui Yu did not plan to bet all his hopes on the legend of the little goblin).

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Sui Yu, who was sleeping that day, was woken up by the message magic that had been connected, and then he quickly used the system to equip the green steel battle armor and rushed to the hotel lobby.

At this time, Wendy, who was more energetic at night because of her special physique, was putting a large picture of the water mirror technique she performed to the maximum, which clearly showed a "little goblin" with pale skin and a dull expression, wearing a set of somewhat shabby cloth clothes, crossing the night sky at a very fast speed!

The leprechaun was generally humanoid, except for a somewhat large head and slightly shorter limbs, a bit like a human baby. At the same time, the appearance of the little goblin, especially the expression on his face, gives people a very disobedient feeling. It's as if the goblin flying fast in the water mirror at this time is not a creature with feelings.

Seeing that Millie, who was a little confused, and Hakya, who had been in the best condition, also received the message and rushed out, Sui Yu immediately gave an order to the two of them: "Hurry! Catch up! Be sure to figure out the details of the leprechaun! ”

"Yes!" As the only two battle queens in the team who can fly with flying skills, Millie and Hakoya quickly rose into the air and quickly approached the direction of the goblin without saying a word.

I believe that with the speed of the two battle queens, plus the fact that Hakoya can rely on teleportation to speed up the speed of movement, presumably that little goblin should not be able to escape.

Just to be on the safe side, though. Sui Yu immediately led the rest of the battle concubines to chase after him from the ground, and he made sure to make sure that the goblin that might be related to the child's disappearance was caught!

It's just that when Sui Yu caught up with Hakya and Millie, the two girls reported to Sui Yu with an unwilling face: "I'm sorry! The leprechaun has been chased by us! (To be continued.) )
