The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

"Well..."

After staying for a while, Shattered went on to say,

"That woman in black looks very angry."

"yes..."

Riber couldn't imagine what the black crow, who always had a calm expression, would look like when he was angry.

However, from the fact that the black crow would be "angry", he further confirmed a guess in his heart.

"anything else?"

"Ugh...ah! The woman in black moved!"

"..."

"Ah! The woman in black has spoken!"

"..."

Under Riber's frowning and warning with a deep expression of "If you are naughty again, I will bury you", the broken face began to recount in a serious manner.

"She's looking at you...By the way, you're now surrounded by a dark purple square."

box?

Is it the symbol of the Church of Scourge, the "Perfect Cube"?

It turned out that that thing would really protect members of the Scourge Church.

"She also took out the same cube, but it was very small and held it in the palm of her hand."

"Hmm! The cubes started to get bigger and started to spread."

"Eh? It's getting dark all of a sudden! Even the lights are gone!"

Listening to the startled explanation, although Riber didn't feel any sense of the picture, he could vaguely understand what happened.

Put the "perfect cube" in your hand and let it expand to cover an area?

Could it be that this is the correct way to use the mark of the Church of Scourge?

Moreover, the darkness where even the light of the magic lamp cannot be turned on made it easy to think of the black crow's witch name "Urushiya".

If I remember correctly, except for the original witch, other witches must be in their own domain called "courtyard" if they want to exert their god-like power.

In other words, can the mark of the Church of Scourge help man-made witches like Black Crow to expand the courtyard?

Riber continued to listen carefully to the broken "relay".

Although the space in the cube became pitch black, Shattered seemed to have night vision.

"The mouth that grew on the back of the little girl's head, what is it talking about, as if trying to do something at the same time... But it's completely useless, full of black feathers stuffed into that mouth..."

"...uh, uh...."

"exploded."

After struggling for a while suddenly, Shattering said briefly.

"Aha?"

Riber couldn't help but froze.

Is this broadcaster a little too unprofessional?

"It seems that there are some boxes placed everywhere in the mansion. It was the mouth that said it. Then he saw that the situation was not good and immediately detonated all of them."

Box?

Riber thought for a while, and then remembered the pyrotechnic box used by the "Blaster Demon".

It seems that the mystery of where the "Blaze Demon" got enough materials to make the fireworks box in the short time after he escaped from prison has also been answered.

However, do "artists" actually have such backhands?

It seems that the mysterious organization really intends to make him die forever.

"What about the damage from the explosion?"

Riber asked worriedly.

"This... I don't know what to say. It should be said that it is completely harmless."

"?"

"Although there was a detonation, the light did not light up in the dark night, so it hardly caused any damage. The mansion was only slightly shaken."

Riber listened to the broken words with a face full of disbelief.

He can only tentatively guess that this is the power of the Night Witch that Black Crow has after opening the courtyard.

"Feather ripped that mouth out of the back of the little girl's head. Then, uh, pinned it to your side."

"..."

Although Riber could understand, this is the message of "I have avenged you" from the Night Witch.

But pinning a mouth next to a fainted person or something, this is completely deceptive behavior, Miss Black Crow.

"How about Alice, that little girl?"

"Passed out, but looked okay, breathing very evenly... Ah, the black woman disappeared, and the sky is bright again."

So far, Shattered ended his debut as a broadcaster.

As for how the black crow left, Riber can only rely on imagination.

Probably, with the dissipated feeling of "it's over, brush away", surrounded by the strong wind and black feathers, it completely disappeared.

...

After drinking a few cups of tea and regrouping, Riber and Shattered talked about the black crow.

"Even I can feel that the black woman is powerful and bad. Then, since you can get her help, why didn't you go to her directly in the first place?"

Shattered asked a little puzzled.

"Well. Because I think that if I go directly to her for help, she probably won't help me. Even after she knew that I was going to a place that was obviously a trap to save Alice, she would stop me and even kill me. Detain her. For her, Alice is just a dispensable existence. Therefore, I can only use myself as a bargaining chip for her to make a move."

Sighing lightly, Riber said helplessly.

"In other words, are you an important person to her?"

"probably..."

Riber said with some uncertainty.

Since the last time I talked with Black Crow, I found that Black Crow would even tell him about the witch without reservation, and when he left his own feathers as protective props, Riber already had Such a feeling.

But now, he was even more sure of it.

"Perhaps it's because I'm on the verge of death this time. Before I was there, I found that I could almost use the power of the 'Suicide Bird'."

Riber paused slightly.

He didn't mind telling Shattered about these things.Rather, he felt that there was no need to hold back on disillusionment.

Because, facing a sword-spirit-like existence that can appear in one's deep consciousness, whether his secret can be called a secret is something worth exploring.

"The black crow told me that the bird of death is a kind of phantom beast that can tell the news of its own death to everyone it knows. , a weird ability that is nothing."

Riber was silent for a moment,

"And now, I know. What the death bird can bring to others is not just the news of death, but... the same degree of death. This is a terrible phantom beast that will take revenge on others and drag others to be buried together Therefore, it can become a symbol of 'unlucky' and be feared by the world."

Listening to Riber's words, Shattered didn't show any surprise or fear, but asked calmly,

"That is to say, the black woman lied to you?"

"I don't think so."

Riber shook his head,

"She seems to hate lies very much, and she has no reason or need to lie to me. Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that she has misunderstood the ability of 'Suicide Bird'."

Riber put down his teacup,

"The next words are just hypotheses."

"The black crow is very likely to have met a person who has the power of 'suicide bird', or a death bird in the past season."

"Then, when the other party died, he brought the news of his own death to Crow, but did not inflict the same death on her."

As Riber spoke, what came to mind was one of the few scenes when he was with the black crow.

He originally thought that when the black crow was in the night paint witch's posture, he always treated him very softly, and almost never refused his request, because the personality of that posture itself was like this, or there was his aunt "Madame" instructions and the like.

But in retrospect, this change of attitude should actually be after he showed the wings of the "suicide bird".

"The ability to bring death to others is only used to inform the other party of her own death, and then at the end of her life, she also has to talk to acquaintances... This way of using the ability... the people she knows That 'suicide bird' must be a very gentle existence."

"yes..."

Perhaps, it is precisely because the black crow has been treated tenderly by another "suicide bird" for a long time.

Therefore, even if it was only a little memory evoked by Riber's power, he showed the highest degree of friendliness to him.

I really don't know what kind of connection between the black crow and the dead bird, and what kind of time they spent together...

"I always feel, Camprete, you shouldn't take advantage of the shadow left by others to use that black woman like this. Use yourself as a bargaining chip and force her to be your weapon or something..."

"Oh? Are you accusing me?"

Ribel raised his voice, glanced at Shattered, making her shrink her neck while trembling,

"How should I put it? It's better to use the power that can be used. Compared to dying noble and clean, I want to live in a despicable way."

Riber said, with a long sigh of relief,

"However, now that I know about it. In the future, try not to trouble her again."

...

...

Still sitting in the space of his deep consciousness, Riber didn't know how long it had passed outside.

An Yi was lying sideways on the bench, and Riber felt that it was actually quite good to come to this place every time he lost consciousness.

Although, there's always the unwanted bonus of Doom.But a clear mind can help him analyze many things that he didn't think of before.

Just when Riber was sorting out his memory and wanted to check if there were any key omissions.

Suddenly, he saw it.

The sky that appeared in his deep consciousness space, shining like a bright star, is already the trigger point of the plot that is about to explode.

"Really...can you follow here?"

Before Riber's voice fell, a new plot picture came to his mind.

Volume 150: Chapter [-], The Decisive Battle ([-])

Huge "Dismemberer" crusade battlefield.

After an incomparably short battle meeting, the brave man went into battle again.

After all the necessary personnel had been listed, Nero, who was some distance away from the combat location, started the run-up.

"I'm counting on you! Commander!"

"Let's not call me the head of the group, and you must have done it before revenge!"

Seeing Nero running towards him, Erhard scolded angrily.However, above the action, it still cooperates with the previous negotiation.

The next moment, Nero who was running jumped up lightly, and then landed firmly on the large shield supported by Erhard and Lin.

"Damn it, use ladies as stepping stones every time!"

Erhard complained angrily, and then let out a "lady" yell, and together with Lin, he lifted up the shield with all his strength, while Nero also jumped straight into the sky with almost the strength of his whole body.

Whoosh.

In just the blink of an eye, Nero had already appeared in the sky.
