Bronya immediately lowered her head and saw a small black hand grabbing her ankle.
The next second, a huge force dragged her into darkness.
Bronya saw Cocolia running towards her in panic with only a bloody sleeve left on her right hand, and then she was dragged into a dark alley.
Fortunately, the clothes were of good quality and not torn, which prevented the skin on my back from being scratched by the ground.
Bronya forced herself to calm down, raised her pistol, and aimed at the hand that was grabbing her ankle.
"boom!"
The pulling force came to an abrupt stop.
Bronya stood up immediately, but she was already surrounded. Dark shadows slowly crawled out from the ground around her, like demons crawling from hell to the human world.
The situation is not good, but their current strength may not be able to be repelled by the firepower of the heavy-duty rabbit.
What to do?
The fear of death and the desire for life made Bronya's heart beat faster instinctively, and she quickly thought of a way out in the suffocating tension.
Suddenly, a flash of gold came from behind and grabbed Bronya's wrist.
"Come with me!"
"Angie?"
Bronya felt like she was being led around all day.
But since it's Angie, I can only trust her.
……
"Hu~hu~~"
Bronya sat on a bench on the corner, catching her breath.
Although I'm not sure how I escaped from the encirclement, I'm safe now and there are no pursuers around.
Angel was right next to her, with her back to Bronya, and seemed to be looking around for the enemy.
"Angie, why are you here?"
“…Run away.”
The inexplicable response made Bronya look at Angie in confusion. However, she saw her back was stiff and motionless, which looked a little weird against the background of the empty ghost town.
"Angie?"
"Bu...Bu...Luo...Hee hee!"
Turning her head 180 degrees, Angel faced Bronia, and her mouth with puppet joints opened and closed with a click, making a laugh that made Bronia shudder.
"Why?"
The smell was definitely right, and the hand that had helped her escape from the trap was just as soft as ever.
Why did you suddenly become a puppet! ?
The scene of Cocolia losing her arm and Angel's sudden change made Bronya's already anxious state of mind take a big step towards collapse.
"What am I going through? Am I having a nightmare?"
Bronya was in a daze for a moment, her body stiff, and she did not stand up and run away immediately.
Angel suddenly turned into a puppet, wrapped in black aura, just like the monsters she had encountered before.
Then quickly, she, or rather it, pounced towards Bronya.
"boom!"
A golden bullet blew up its head.
Bronya had no idea how to react and was picked up by the huge mechanical hand and quickly retreated.
In her last glance before evacuating, Bronya saw a golden figure rushing towards the black shadow, and the dazzling and gorgeous sword light broke it into pieces.
The darkness of night and the long distance were beyond Bronya's vision. In the blur, she could only vaguely feel that the other party seemed to be looking back at her after killing the monster.
"Is it...Angie?"
Bronya murmured uncertainly.
Then, he lost consciousness amid the pain in his body and brain.
……
"what!"
"Oh my god! Don't pretend to be asleep in front of me. Come over and help me. We have to set it up before Angie comes back!"
Kiana lowered her head from the stepladder, holding up a banner that read "Happy Birthday Angel", and urged Bronya.
Bronya blinked blankly, then handed the tool over.
Yes, I was preparing a birthday surprise for Angie, how come I suddenly became distracted?
Maybe you’re too tired from staying up late playing games last night?
Bronya felt a headache and a strong strange feeling made her scared and at a loss.
"Kiana, I'll borrow Bronya for a while. I'm begging you to work harder here!"
"Huh? Mei, wait a minute, I need... something, are you just going to run away now? But food is still the most important, forget it, let's just leave it at that."
Kiana scratched her head and continued to set up the venue.
Bronya was brought into the kitchen, the door was closed, and she faced Fu Hua and Raiden Mei who had serious expressions.
"Class monitor, Mei-nee, what are you doing?"
"Bronya, you really don't remember?"
"Squad leader, what are you talking about?"
"… Let's take a little risk. After all, the sudden change in the environment must have an important reason. We can't keep bumping around like headless flies."
Fu Hua sighed, raised her hand, and a red feather appeared in her palm.
Bronya's pupils trembled, and her head seemed to be hit by something. She suddenly became unsteady and took two steps back.
"Class leader, Mei-nee, we are... still in Changzora City, right?"
Bronya asked with a pale face, and received a unanimous nod from the two.
Half an hour later, Bronya regained her composure, even her initially distorted memory became normal, and she recounted everything that had happened to her after she and Cocolia left.
Then, Fu Hua looked at Raiden Mei.
"I also encountered the enemy, but fortunately the power of the Herrscher worked well and I wasn't trapped. I don't know if I've found the border, but after leaving the fortifications for about 71 kilometers, I went further and ended up at a place that was also 71 kilometers away from the fortifications - but in the opposite direction."
"You mean, this is a looping space at the edge?"
"Although we didn't have time to try in other directions, this should be the case. Let's put this question aside for now. I'm more concerned about what Bronya saw. What happened to Angie? Could it be that those black enemies are actually..."
Mei Raiden's expression looked a little ugly and her voice suddenly stopped.
Those present are not ordinary people; their intelligence and knowledge are far beyond ordinary people.
What they knew now was enough for them to make many guesses, but they just didn't want to think that way.
"Hurry up, my aunt sent a message, An Qi will be back soon!"
Kiana's excited voice filled with expectation came from outside the door.
The three people in the kitchen looked at each other in silence.
Finally, Fu Hua walked over to the cake that had just been finished and unwrapped the candles.
"Whatever happens, how about giving her a belated 'Happy Birthday' first?"
Who could refuse such a request?
Bronya and Raiden Mei suppressed most of their repressed emotions and nodded at the same time.
Chapter 241 When is it?
Warm candlelight illuminates a corner of the living room.
Amid the loving and blessing gazes of everyone, An Qi closed her eyes and prayed that only by leaving a wish behind could they stay with her forever.
"I didn't expect that they would prepare to celebrate my birthday."
"Then we have to blame Ji Lin! It's because she went down the mountain and took too much time to get to the bottom of the matter. Otherwise, if she had stayed by Xiao Xuan's side, she wouldn't have missed out on this kind of information."
Angel and Cocolia were watching and communicating from the side.
It's just that they were in another space and not actually in the same room with the people at the birthday party.
As the Ruler of a Thousand People, in control of the theater, and holding the power of the void, as long as Angel is willing, no one can notice the audience so close, not even Fu Hua.
"No, it has nothing to do with me as Ji Lin. Rather, I forgot that humans have the concept of birthdays."
"That's good. It's just that not knowing in advance is the only way to be surprised. But I will be missing from Saint Freya for a while. Before that, giving them a chance to send their birthday wishes is a kind gesture."
Cocolia touched her chin, a look of dejection on her charming face.
An Qi also had the same hesitation.
"I don't know, but I want to hear them say happy birthday, that's all."
"Okay, that's it. Let's put this hard to explain aside for now. Anyway, you actually went too far with me, right?"
Cocolia waved her bloody and tattered sleeves and rolled her eyes at the angies around her.
The angels smiled at each other.
"When have we ever not been serious?"
"Whee!"
"That's right. As the master of Changkong City, you should give us a chance to save our reputation, right?"
Cocolia Angel snorted unhappily and ignored those who had no sympathy for her own people. Instead, she took out a tube of blue serum, squeezed it tightly, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
……
"Angie, I wish you a happy birthday, happiness every day, and I hope your cooking will become more and more delicious!"
"Hey, stupid Kiana, are you blessing for Angie or for yourself? Anyway, Angie, happy birthday, I hope you will be happier in the future."
"Haha! Anqi, the class monitor and I prepared this cake together. I hope you like it. Happy birthday to you. I hope we can celebrate your birthday like this every year in the future."
After blowing out the candles, the girls expressed their most sincere wishes with their sweet voices.
An Qi looked at everyone steadily, and suddenly smiled brilliantly, but she couldn't help wiping the wet corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
Angie was really surprised.
If I had a choice, I would really like to postpone the date of my self-destruction.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Now that it had already begun, there was no way to go back. An Qi could only continue to sing this scene.
'The blessing has been sent and I have received it. I hope this will make you feel less regretful.'
An Qi thought with guilt and sadness, picked up the knife and cut the cake.
The cake is very sweet.
Everyone seemed very satisfied.
It's just time to end.
The "truth" of Changkong City has been weighing on everyone's mind, and has become an indelible barrier and nightmare between An Qi and everyone else. Even without Kevin's inducement, this interpretation of "unveiling" the truth would have happened sooner or later.
Right here, today, Angie is taking a step forward.
"call out!"
Amidst the cheerful atmosphere of chatting and laughing, a black shadow cut through the air.
"Angie!?"
Amid everyone's exclamations, an automatic syringe filled with blue liquid was inserted into Anqi's arm. The mechanism was triggered, and the liquid in the tube rapidly decreased and was injected into Anqi's body.
