Zongman: Endless Shuttle Chapter 306
"Your daughter is still under the car." He patted the woman on the back and said softly. "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere. Take your daughter and let's go into the room together. In exchange, I need some information from you, a "local person". Again, "in the meantime" I will keep you safe. "
"daughter……!"
Most of the words were lost, but the young woman had an instinctive reaction to the word "daughter".
She woke up like a dream, loosened Loki's coat, and didn't know the power coming from there, and ran towards the place where her daughter was hiding.
When she saw that her daughter was safe, she was already crying.
Looking at the seemingly touching scene, Loki sighed helplessly, walked to an empty clothing store nearby, melted the handle with his own ability, and pushed open the door.
"If you want to cry, why don't you come in first?"
He glanced at the street corner, and two black giants with big mouths were slowly approaching. It seemed to smell the smell of humans, and wanted to have a full meal just like the group of Byakhees.
"If humans can't save themselves, even the gods can't save you?"
The woman was taken aback, and quickly ran towards Loki's position with her daughter in her arms.
Inside the door is a very ordinary clothing store.
Several silver hangers were hung with popular styles of clothes, both for men and women, and the store was very spacious.
However, it may be a matter of poor business. Today's store manager has no plans to open a store for business. Thanks to this decision, Loki did not see any traces of people or monsters in the store.
Hmm, it's great that you don't need to use your hands... Loki casually found a bench and sat down, and made a gesture of "please" to the woman who was disturbed by the black ominous giant wandering around outside.
"Do it, this is already my domain." Loki said. "It doesn't matter the sound or the smell, your traces will not be exposed. Now, let's have a good chat."
He already had some understanding of Kesma's rhetoric.
The longer he stays in this small town, his strength is weakening almost every second, although the magnitude is not very large, but Loki knows that within ten hours at most, he will completely fall from the altar and become air The most common form of etheric magic.
Once the "myth" that is the source of the gods is framed, it is almost needless to say what will happen.
——The caster of this terrifying spell must be resolved within this time.
However, under the circumstances that power is limited and cannot be wasted at will, and Loki is not good at probing, the only way to find out the location of Cosma is to follow the clues given by the other party. And you have to move fast. If Kesma is allowed to take the first step and use the time gained to accomplish what he wants, it will be quite bad for Loki.
It can make mortals feel confident about the God of Disobedience, without even thinking about it, it must be a big killing move.
"Ma'am, what's your name?"
"Anna Levin."
After reporting her name, Anna took her daughter and stood opposite Loki.
The young daughter was unexpectedly well-behaved, she neither cried nor made a fuss, and did not look at the scene outside the window at all, knowing instinctively that something terrible would happen if she turned her head.
Anna spoke with a little restraint and fear. "... Sir, are you a magician?"
It is impossible for ordinary people to emit such flames. Although Anna has become the mother of a five-year-old child, at least she still has some understanding of fantasy novels or movies.
——A person with supernatural powers, or a magician.
The more unbelievable, the more truth. In the novel, the monster appears in reality. Even if Loki says that he is a god, Anna may try to believe it.
In this small town, common sense has broken down.
"Madam, if you think this is true, then it is true."
Loki didn't mean to explain too much, and materialized a notepad and pen in a burst of fireworks.
"Ms. Anna, if I ask you next, you must answer carefully as a reward for saving you, otherwise our transaction will be terminated immediately, and I will not help the monsters outside."
"Ah?...Yes!" Sensing the seriousness in the boy's words, Anna raised her spirits.
If she and her child wanted to survive in this kind of hell, they probably could only rely on the boy in front of them.
"Hmm..." Loki asked after thinking for a while. "In Avosta, is there an underground river or sewer in the northwest? I mean the kind that is very wide and can be used for people to hide, not to mention the usual sewage treatment. Then the shortest journey from here to where tell me."
With his "wisdom" priesthood, the two casual clues of Xmas can't be called "guessing games" at all, and they are so simple that Loki feels bored.
If it wasn't because he didn't know the terrain of Avosta, I'm afraid Loki would be able to find Cosma in the first place.
This is probably the other party's intention - just for "time".
"Venus", like the sun, is a star in the east in the morning and west in the afternoon. Humans can visually see Venus shining, only at sunset, so the exact direction of Xma is to the west. The "Styx" is the river in ancient Greek mythology where the underworld transports souls. According to people's understanding, the underworld is a world under the earth, so "Styx" has another name for "underground water".
The correct answer is "in a certain sewer in the northwest"... Loki knew the answer to the puzzle, but he sighed.
What he longed for was the endless puzzles and thrilling tension in the novels written by Edgar Allan Poe. Too simple would make Loki uncomfortable.
Use puzzles as a stepping stone for fighting, as an unintentional tool for killing...
Really boring character. Loki thought regretfully.
Chapter 180 Cold, Dusk Elegy
"About three...?"
Anna tried desperately to remember.
People don't have much interest in the things under their feet, and Anna only vaguely remembers it because she played there when she was a child. It is really too difficult for her to tell the exact number.
"What about the specific location?" Loki took this note, not caring about Anna's ambiguity at all.
When he got to the site, he had plenty of ways to confirm which one was Kesma's hiding place.
"They were built together," she said. "The specific location passes by Harker Street from here, and you can see it after passing two intersections and going straight forward. It is very eye-catching."
"It feels quite close." Loki put down the notebook, took out the map of Avosta from his pocket, and pointed at it - he took it from the library.
Can't detect large-scale divine power. In Loki's opinion, the map is a hundred times safer than any pathfinding magic.
"Well, there is indeed a large open space there...but your map drawing is too bad, you didn't mark such an important facility on the map?!"
"...may have been the cause of the scandal."
Anna said in embarrassment. "A group of prisoners were imprisoned there in the last century, and many people were executed, but now the residents don't take it seriously. Young boys and girls like to go to dark places for trysts..."
"A tryst in the land of resentment? So human beings lack the awe of the supernatural." Loki sighed. "Science has brought convenience, and it has also brought "atheists". Perhaps in the hundreds of years of our existence..." He shook his head and stopped talking.
The God of Disobedience is an elf born together from the planet and humans, but in the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Alaya (humans) completely eliminate foreign objects. When technology completely rules the earth, the God of Disobedience and the magician Is it time to leave?
After sorting out his thoughts, Loki continued to ask.
"So, in your opinion, ma'am, if a large-scale disaster occurs..." He pointed out the window. "Which sewer do panicked but sensible people usually congregate in a situation like this? Please pick the most likely one from your memory."
