Meet the principal

After reading the reply, Reiner already had an idea. Instead of disturbing the girls who were sitting around the sofa in the restaurant talking about weird stories late at night, he found Sophinet.

"You and I go to the hot springs."

Reiner said, making Sophienette a little confused.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Ian Gray, I, I'm not mentally prepared yet"

He took half a step back and subconsciously protected his chest. He looked pitiful, like a frightened deer.

But this is man.

"Where are you thinking? I want to solve the problem of the black shadow that is bothering you, and I need your help."

Reiner twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether Sophinet was teasing him or really having random thoughts.

After hearing Reiner's explanation, Sophienette lost her panic attitude, nodded her head, and called Joe.

Reiner didn't find too many servants, because the more people there were, the more chaotic the scene would be. He, Sophite, and Qiao came to the hot spring. It hadn't been repaired yet, and it still looked like an outdoor bath with open walls. The chirping of insects and the gentle breeze in the summer night, as well as the bright starry sky by the seaside, are quite interesting.

Reiner didn't change his clothes. He fiddled around the hot spring for a while, and then said to Sophinet.

"Take off your clothes and wait in the hot spring."

"This, this is not good, is it?"

Sophinet didn't bring a swimsuit, and she was coy and reluctant at this time.

"It's okay, I'll make sure you're safe."

Reiner smiled and did not back down.

After hesitating for a while, Sophie slowly took off her clothes, wrapped a towel around her body, and went down into the hot spring pool.

"Am I a bait?"

He turned around and asked, but he didn't expect that Reiner had already disappeared. Qiao was also guarding outside the bathing place. Sophinet was the only one in the huge pool.

The chirping of the summer insects was so noisy that Sophinet felt a little guilty. He had naturally heard the transmission of the black shadow. Now, although Reiner told him that he had made various preparations, he was still a little uneasy.

Except for the sharp and continuous chirping of insects,

There was only the sound of the hot spring water flowing. Sofinit didn't dare to speak. She sat quietly on the edge of the pool and paid attention to the goings on around her.

The water in the hot spring was clear and warm, nourishing Sofinit's body and mind, but he didn't know when the insect buzzing in his ears had disappeared.

Everything was silent, and Sophinet suddenly smelled the fishy smell of sea water.

"!!!"

Suddenly feeling horrified, Sophinet's body froze, and he didn't detect any abnormalities in his field of vision.

The insect chirping gradually started again, and just when Sophie thought it was just an illusion——

Phew.

Behind him, a sound of water flow that was not caused by Sophinet made him unable to move.

Turn back?

Among the countless rumors I heard when I was a child, turning back when facing the unknown thing behind you was the stupidest move. But at this time, strong curiosity occupied Sophinet's heart. He didn't dare to scream to disturb the thing. Able to turn the body slowly and with an imperceptible amplitude.

The sound of water behind him did not subside, but came regularly. Sophite broke into a cold sweat in the hot spring pool. Finally, he was able to see a black object in the corner behind him in the bathtub. exist!

The thing was not big, and was completely black. It was in the hot spring water. She didn't know what to do. Sophinet held her breath, suppressed the scream that was already in her throat, and observed the other person carefully.

As Reiner said, this is of course not a ghost, but some kind of creature. You can see the black mass rising and falling as it breathes. Every once in a while, it will turn over, as if to make its body Better access to hot spring water.

Could this creature be taking a bath in a hot spring?

This crazy idea appeared in Sofinit's mind. He shook his head to dispel it from his mind, but who knew that it was this subtle move that caused the black shadow to change.

The black shadow suddenly stopped its movements, and Sophinet immediately felt that he was being stared at by a sharp gaze. At this time, he finally made a sound.

"Mr. Iain Gray, it appears."

As soon as Sophinet shouted, the black figure immediately jumped out of the water, first jumped to the wall on one side, and then quickly escaped through the hole in the bathhouse.

"Hurry, it's coming"

Standing up in a hurry, Sophinet didn't have time to wrap up the towel before chasing the shadow.

However, when the extremely fast black shadow was running away, it suddenly stopped as if it had hit an invisible wall.

Snapped--

The black shadow fell to the ground, bounced up quickly, and tried again, but still hit the wall.

After repeating it several times, the black shadow seemed to realize the problem, looking for a breakthrough on the ground, and somehow, it focused on Sophinet.

"You, don't come over"

Sophite knew that the reason why the black shadow could not escape from the bathhouse must be because of Reiner's previous arrangements. Sophite probably knew several defensive formations. At this time, the hot spring bathhouse had been completely blocked. Once it's closed, not even a mosquito can fly out.

So, naturally, the black shadow noticed another existence in the bathhouse, Sophinet. It can be seen that the black shadow originally had no interest in humans, but at this time, in a tense state, it could only use all means Get out of trouble.

Woo——

There was a sharp low cry from the black shadow, and it quickly jumped up and rushed towards Sophinet's location.

Sofinite pounced to the right, barely dodging the black shadow, but who knew it would pass by Sofinite, bounce off the wall, and attack from another direction.

"do not come!"

Sofinit couldn't dodge and covered her body with both hands, and subconsciously closed her eyes.

But the expected impact did not come. He slowly opened his eyes, only to see a pair of dark eyes, looking at him.

In front of the eyes was a light yellow bird's beak. At this time, Sophie discovered that the black shadow was not completely black. In fact, only its back was black, and its abdomen was pure white. It had something special to birds. Talking about the slightly bloated body, the two wings are extremely short, and from the fat belly, there is a pair of wide feet.

"Finally caught."

Reiner's voice came from behind the bird. He imprisoned the black shadow with the hands of the mage, making it suspended in mid-air, unable to move.

"What kind of creature is this?"

Sophinet said tremblingly. Only then did he notice how meticulous he was and quickly found a towel to cover his important parts.

Sophite had never seen this wonderful creature before. It was said to be a fish, but it also looked like a bird. It was said to be a bird, but with such a size, I'm afraid it couldn't fly at all.

"Well, according to the reply I received, this should be a creature that lives in Stanlia, and its name is Penguin."

Reiner shrugged and explained.
