At night, there is no one to be seen on the already deserted streets of the outlying islands.

In the temporary residence, Bai Luo sat by the window, sipping the tea in his hand, looking in the direction of Daozuma City, and squinting his eyes slightly.

"Instructor, do you really not want to meet the Hiiragi family and the Kujo family?"

As Bai Ze's most trusted debt handler, Ah Qi is naturally waiting by his side.

"Even if I go, it's just flattery. I don't want to go."

Before he became an executive, he often encountered this kind of thing.

But at that time, he had no right at all and no reason to refuse.

After becoming an executive officer, he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Now among all the fools in Inazuma, his status is the highest.

It's not a problem to be so willful.

"That's right. Instructor, you are the envoy of the Winter Solstice appointed by the Queen. Even if you are receiving you, you will not be the envoys of these three ministers, but the aloof Thunder and Lightning General."

"puff--"

Before Ah Qi finished speaking, the tea in Bai Luo's mouth had already spurted out.

"Ah Qi."

"yes!"

"That's very good, don't say it next time!"

"???"

Even though Bai Luo's mission is to obtain the Heart of God from General Thunder and Lightning, he still doesn't want to face General Thunder and Lightning.

First of all, the heart of God is not in General Thunder.

Secondly, he didn't want to be praised by the general.

Alas, Liyue is better.

"Um?"

Just when Ah Qi was about to report the future arrangements to Bai Luo, the latter gently raised his arm to stop him.

Regular training together is just a small gesture, and it means different things in each other's eyes.

"It has been a bumpy journey to this point in the winter, and I am tired. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow. I will go to bed first."

"My subordinate understands."

Ah Qi left the room naturally and closed the door behind her.

Bai Luo yawned and placed the tea cup on the table next to him.

As he walked towards the bed, he undressed his luxurious clothes with strong winter colors.

The last button was unbuttoned, and Bai Luo grabbed his coat and shook it violently.

"Whoosh——"

The specially made dagger in his hand came out under the cover of his coat and was nailed to the beam.

"Click-"

The mechanism around his waist was running, and under the influence of the steel wire, he turned over and jumped onto the beam.

And what was on the rafters was somewhat beyond his expectation.

That is a roly-poly with a strong sense of rice wife character.

It was well hidden. If Bai Luo hadn't been an expert in concealment, he would have been hidden by this little guy.

After the two looked at each other for a second, the other one moved first.

"Woohu flow? Shadow raccoon dog is confused!"

The tumbler in front of him suddenly lit up with a green light.

The next moment, strong air currents raged throughout the room, and a small figure took the opportunity to jump out of the tumbler. After rolling on the ground, he jumped out of the open window.

This move made Ah Qi, who was guarding the door, unable to stop him.

Aren’t these guys who call themselves ninjas willing to leave?

"Ah Qi, check if there are any traces. I'll go after them."

"I obey my orders!"

After receiving Ah Qi's response, Bai Luo jumped out of the window very skillfully and ran towards the little figure not far away under the moonlight.

"Wu Hu Liu? Feng Yin Ji Jin!"

When the little figure noticed Bai Luo chasing after him, he was so frightened that his tail almost stood up.

She was very aware of Bai Luo's danger, so she used her own escape skills without hesitation.

I saw her jumping up high and making a hand seal.

Then he hugged his legs tightly and curled up.

After landing, she rolled on the ground like a wheel under the influence of the breeze.

After a while, Bai Luo was far away from him.

As long as...as long as she enters the woods ahead, in the woods she is very familiar with, Bai Luo will never be able to catch her.

In Bai Luo's eyes, her behavior was somewhat inconsistent with her status as a ninja.

The escape speed of this elemental combat technique is indeed very fast, and the traces left behind are relatively clear.

Especially for the turf that she ran over, even ordinary people without any tracking experience can see the clues.

What's more, Bai Luo, a master with rich experience?

Even if there were no traces left in some places due to environmental reasons, the elemental energy in the air that could be seen with the naked eye also exposed her traces.

So even though he could no longer see the other party's figure, he still followed the traces left by the other party and chased him to a forest.

I didn't take a closer look during the day, but once it was night, the woods were really scary.

The night wind blew by, and the leaves made a rustling sound under the influence of the wind.

Listening carefully, there seemed to be some rustling sounds in the wind, like someone whispering.

Turning his right hand over, he held the dagger that had been put away in his hand again. Bai Luo increased his vigilance and walked into the woods.

"Wow--"

The moment I stepped into the woods, countless birds rose up in response.

They made disgusting wah-wah sounds, scattered in all directions, and disappeared into the night.

Crows are really unpleasant creatures.

Without letting down his guard, Bai Luo continued to check the marks on the ground, trying to find out where the little guy was hiding.

I have to admit that after entering the woods, the little guy's hiding skills were stimulated to the extreme.

Especially after the crows made trouble, there were no useful traces on the ground at all.

On the contrary, in the surrounding grass, you can occasionally see human figures, giving people the illusion that there are people everywhere, but no one can be seen.

The moon in the sky has been blocked by the tall crowns of trees, and no moonlight can enter at all.

But this did not affect Bai Luo's vision.

Because there are some kind of blue flowers blooming everywhere in the woods.

The petals of this flower will emit a faint blue light in dark places.

But under this faint light, everything around looked so weird and gloomy.

Coupled with the strange sculpture with its unique shape and covered with moss, even the rice wife who lives here all year round may not dare to stay for a long time.

But it happened that under such circumstances, Bai Luo met someone.

He wasn't even sure if what he met was a human being.

"Who are you?"

Holding the bamboo basket in her hand, she frowned slightly and asked Bai Luo.

Different from ordinary women, this woman has short, smart hair and wears the kind of clothing that only shogunate soldiers are qualified to wear.

But compared with ordinary soldiers, her style is much more "luxurious".

The most eye-catching thing is the red beak-like mask on her head.

If he wasn't very sure that the Fools didn't have masks of this style, he would definitely think that this woman was also a member of the Fools.

"There was a thief at home, and I chased the thief all the way here."

Bai Luo explained calmly as he put away the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

He had already realized who this woman who suddenly appeared in the forest was.

No...she is not a human at all, but a demon.

The demon known as Tengu.
