Chapter 249 Demonstration From the Courtyard
"Stop, don't come close, witch, tell me what you're here for." After getting out of the police car, Belica half-closed the door and pointed a gun at Tricia in front and shouted.
"Alex, help me get the long sword in the back seat." Belica first ordered Tricia to stop, and then said to Alex who was about to get out of the car.
The magic sword that looks like a noble flower sword is not a conventional weapon equipped by the security team. It belongs to Belica's personal belongings and is often carried by her.
"Are there any other weapons? If you want to fight, I should be able to help." Alex asked Belica after pulling out the long sword from the back seat.
"No, we are just the security team." Belica shook her head, and seemed to be a little wary of Alex. Belica was not sure if this was abnormal for a raider who did not bring storage props.
Alex handed the long sword to Belica, and Toby had already pointed his gun at Tricia.
Putting away the pistol, as if cooperating with Toby, Bellica held the hilt of the sword and walked around the car door to approach Tricia.
"You should call me Tricia, or Madam, or Miss, but not Witch."
"Relax, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, but you have never stopped. Relax, I am here to help you." Tricia stopped and raised her hands slightly to show that she was harmless.
"Why are you here? What have we encountered?" Bellica asked loudly.
"Emergency always coexists with crisis, and destruction will inevitably be brewing in the shadow of prosperity. The minions of the devil have begun to act. I am not your enemy." When Tricia replied, she walked slowly towards the three people.
"Tricia, can you say something we can understand? Tell me, the situation here has nothing to do with you." Toby raised his gun and scolded, and his stern tone seemed to be ready to shoot at any time.
"So I hate dealing with people like you, especially people from such a small place." Facing the hostility of the three people, Tricia muttered impatiently.
"You were plotted against by the devil. What happened here has nothing to do with me. I sensed an abnormal energy fluctuation. No matter who it is, I am just here to help." Tricia said to the others.
"Demon?" The others questioned, but they did not relax their vigilance against Tricia.
"Have you seen the mothership in the sky?" Tricia asked the others.
The others looked up subconsciously. After she mentioned it, they found that the patrol mothership that had been staying over the town had disappeared.
"Don't look at it. We are already trapped in an illusion."
"Humans want to face the devil head-on. Humans want to deter the devil. Do you think the devil will wait for humans to come?"
"You mean..." Tricia's words made Belica let down her guard a little.
"Yes, every time the Xinxing Courtyard is about to hold a patrol meeting, some strange phenomena will appear in the area near the entrance of the courtyard from time to time."
"This is a demonstration from the devil. They want to tell us that they are not unable to come to the human world, nor do they have the ability to threaten us." Tricia said to the others.
Tricia approached the group, and Belica and Toby had basically let down their guard.
"Is this a normal situation? Why haven't we received any notification?" Belica asked with a frown.
"You? The public or the guard? Why should we let you know? The hyenas of the Night Hunters have already stationed in Bear Pig Town. Why do you think they came?" Tricia said sarcastically.
The stability of the human world cannot be shaken. At least the government has been cheering the public up. Perhaps this kind of cheering is not limited to the human world. Some human countries in the courtyard also have similar situations.
Good news is reported but bad news is not reported. Unless it is absolutely necessary, situations such as being harassed by demons will not be made public. The Night Hunters are the main force to deal with such situations. Even if they need support, they will not find the guards.
Tricia explained a little, and the group understood the key. Alex's face showed a little bit of realization.
"No wonder Mr. Odysseus told us not to act alone recently." Alex's tone was a little annoyed.
"Odysseus?" Tricia raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, hello, Miss Tricia, I'm a raider." Compared to Belica and the others, Alex was less resistant to Tricia.
"Haha, raider? Are you a newcomer? Sorry, Miss Raider, if it were me, I would never reveal my identity as a raider in this environment." Tricia shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Why?" Alex was puzzled.
"You'd better hope that the current situation has nothing to do with the Caines Courtyard, otherwise..." Tricia paused for a moment, as if she was hesitating about what to say.
"If this is a demonic demonstration, the head of a raider should bring a more enthusiastic atmosphere to the Star Patrol Conference. The demons agree to negotiate, but they don't care whether it's peaceful or not." Tricia shook her head and said.
Tricia's words made Alex's face change suddenly, and this clear statement made Alex unable to refute.
The Star Patrol Conference has never been a friendly meeting between humans and demons. It's just that in most people's cognition, demons cannot leave the courtyard and are the passive party.
"Tricia, since you said that the Night Hunters should have known that something was going to happen in the town, then you can sense the abnormality, but what about them?" Belica asked Tricia.
"What can those hyenas do? Haven't you heard of it? The guards are always late. Haha, the Night Hunters and the guards are more in sync in this regard."
"Unfortunately, the situation here should be caused by you. There are too few of you, which means that the hyenas should not have discovered it so quickly before the situation escalated further."
"You are members of the guard, right? It's you, maybe because of your disappearance, the guards will discover the problem first." Tricia had a mocking look on her face.
Tricia's attitude was somewhat cynical, even a little cynical, and her ridicule of the guards made Belica and Toby a little uncomfortable.
But Belica and Toby understood that in this situation, there was no need to be serious about the wording and attitude with a wandering witch.
"Then you... Miss Tricia, can you lead us out of this predicament?" Compared to Toby, Bellica's temper seems to be bigger. Seeing Bellica's impatience, Toby asked first.
"Me? Haha, you have too deep prejudices against Wandering Witches. You don't know that Wandering Witches have been helping Anju to deal with similar incidents."
"I came to Bear Pig Town to prevent this situation. We have been silently paying, but you only know the Night Hunters, the Garrison, and even those whores of the Hall Witches."
"We, the Wandering Witches, do better and pay more." Tricia said dissatisfiedly.
"..." Toby was silent, Bellica and Alex twitched their mouths, but didn't answer after all.
Big sister, we seem to be trapped by the devil now, and you don't forget to fire the "map cannon" at this time. With your cynical attitude, ghosts can have no prejudice against Wandering Witches.
"Hey, Tricia, can you solve the situation here?" Bellica coughed dryly and asked Tricia.
She was basically sure that Tricia was here to help. Although the wandering witch seemed to have some emotional problems, she was here to help.
"The situation here should be caused by 'Basanim'. They are a kind of demon that is better at creating illusions than lost demons."
"I just entered the illusion. Whether it can be solved depends on finding the source of the illusion."
Tricia shook her head and explained. While explaining, she took out three bottles of potion and handed them to Belica and others.
"Phantom potion. Basanim likes to raise ghosts to avoid accidents. Drink it first." Tricia said to Belica and others.
The psychic potion can allow the three people to gain the ability of psychic vision within a certain period of time, but the three people did not drink it when they took the potion.
Confirming that Tricia was here to help did not mean that they dared to drink the potion of the wandering witch casually. Seeing the reactions of the three people, Tricia's face was obviously a little uglier.
