Chapter 1160: Deep in the darkness (sparkling water is quite delicious)


    “Hey…PMC?”


    Facing the woman in front of him, Qian Shu was still confused, while Commander Nanmu, who was sitting behind the table, gave an explanation.


    "PRIVATEMILITARYCOMPANY - a private military company, mainly responsible for the resolution of D disasters."


    “What is the disaster?”


    "Simply put, it is a demon possession."


    Ayano Yukiki gave a very detailed explanation when facing Chishu''s inquiry.


    "You should have seen that in many movies and novels, there will be plots where demons sign contracts with humans and give human power. We call those who sign contracts with demons to gain power as demon possessors, and solving the troubles caused by these demon possessors is our AAA''s duty."


    "Oh, so that''s it...ah!? Are there such organizations in our city? Why don''t I know at all!"


    Hearing Yuki Ayano''s answer, Chishu nodded first, and then immediately looked at Commander Kumaki with dissatisfaction like a cat with fur. You know, Qianshu can be regarded as the ace elite of the DA organization. Even she has never heard of similar information, okay!


    "Because you Liquelis doesn''t need to know that it is the responsibility of the PMC to resolve disaster D, and the responsibilities of both parties to maintain social order are different, so the jurisdiction is also different."


    “Woo… That’s right…”


    Hearing this, Qianshu pouted in dissatisfaction. She could understand Commander Nanmu''s meaning. This was like the firefighter and the police in the serious crime team. Although they were all included in the staffing, they would definitely not have any communication between each other''s work. After all, you can''t let firefighters investigate serious cases, and the latter is not good at extinguishing fires, right?


    Um?


    "But you didn''t solve the problem? That witch was killed by Xiao Ai... Miss Duanmu."


    “Hey, Qian Shu!”


    Hearing Qianshu raised his own question without any mercy, Commander Kumaki couldn''t help but stop it. After hearing Qianshu''s inquiry, Ayano Yuki''s expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.


    "Indeed, as you said, we are not able to deal with the existence of witches because they are somewhat different from ordinary demon possessions."


    "different?"


    "Ordinary demon possession is a contract between humans and demons, and they have obtained the power given by demons, and they will become very strange beings that are far beyond human form..."


    "In my opinion, that witch is already non-human enough..."


    Recalling the monster with a flies-like head that he saw in the witch barrier last night, Qian Shu silently complained.


    "But the most important thing is that most demon possessors need strength because they want to cause turmoil in real society, dissatisfaction with politics, break down social relations, or because of failure in love..."


    "ah……"


    Speaking of this, Qianshu can understand that after all, Liquelis'' goals are very similar. They are all similar terrorists. No matter what the reason is, the ultimate goal of these people is to retaliate against society and cause social chaos. That''s why Licorice defeated her in an unknown way before they took action.


    But the enemies they face will not look like monsters.


    Thinking of this, Chishu felt a little close to Ayano Yukiki in front of him.


    After all, everyone is here to make a living.


    And this way, she understood why Ayano Yuki said something different.


    "But the witch is not like this. They just hide in the barrier, secretly killing others, and don''t show up at all..."


    Qian Shu also thought this was indeed strange. After all, from this perspective, the witch did not revenge others or cause social chaos like an ordinary demon possessor. On the contrary, they even try every means to prevent others from realizing their existence, which is not like the practice of terrorists or demon possessors.


    It''s more similar to a serial murderer... it''s like the mysterious murderer who''s serial murderer on American roads that Qian Shu saw in the movie. People mysteriously disappeared at any time, but no one thought it was the act of a serial murderer, and they didn''t even expect that there would be a murderer like this.


    In fact, if the witch does not hide in the barrier but appears directly in front of everyone, it will trigger large-scale panic in the entire society. After all, that look... is really hard to describe. I have to have nightmares after watching it, but I still don’t know if I will dream about it tonight.


    "That''s right, so the investigation we can conduct is very limited. In fact, so far, we have not had enough information to prove the existence of the witch, and we cannot even find its specific location. To be ashamed, we know not much about Miss Qianshu. Therefore, after we learned about the report you submitted from Commander Nangi, we wanted to meet you urgently so that we could grasp the actual situation as soon as possible. Please come and ask."


    As he spoke, Ayano Yuki even lowered his head and bowed to Chishu, which made Chishu feel a little embarrassed.


    "Ah haha, I''m really a little shy and embarrassed to say this. To be honest, I don''t understand this at all, and I don''t know if I can report it accurately."


    "It''s okay, just say what you saw at that time."


    "Oh well."


    Since Ayano Yukiki said so, Chishu was not the kind of person who looked at the forefront, so she quickly explained everything she had encountered last night carefully to Ayano Yukikikiki. The latter also listened very seriously. Not only did he take out a recorder to record, but he even asked some questions from time to time.


    It is precisely because of this that it took a lot of time. It was almost dusk that Ayano, who seemed to be sure that she could not ask anything, nodded to Chishu.


    “Thank you for your cooperation.”


    "No, it would be better to be able to help..."


    After touching his hungry belly, Qian Shu also smiled bitterly. It seemed that he would not be able to wait to go back and could only make a meal in the cafeteria of DA headquarters.


    But I have to say that Qian Shu is also quite interested in this matter.


    "Miss Ayano, do you think that QB will be a demon?"


    “It’s very similar.”


    Yuki Ayano nodded with a serious expression.


    "According to your words, the other party appears in front of you and asks you to sign a contract to overcome the current difficulties. This is similar to the method of demons tempting humans to sign a contract."


    "Ah hahaha, Xiao Ai said so too..."


    Thinking of the other party asking himself speechlessly last night, "Do you believe in that animal or you believe in Qin Shihuang?" Qian Shu could only smile bitterly.


    But she is not without doubt.


    "But isn''t this very strange? According to QB, signing a contract with it to become a magic girl is to destroy the witch. If it is a demon, why do you still destroy the witch? Isn''t the witch also a demon?"


    "I can''t understand this point either, and there is no way to give an answer at the moment. But in fact, the devil is not a solid piece of cake."


    "is that so?"


    "Yes, since ancient times, it has been very difficult and dangerous for humans to deal with demons. Moreover, human weapons have almost no way to cause damage to demons, and even if they cause damage, it is difficult to kill them. On the contrary, demons can effectively kill demons. Therefore, in the historical records, there have been records that humans and demons have signed contracts to drive demons to destroy demons."


    "Is there such a thing?" "Yes, so if everything you said is correct, then it is very likely that the QB and the witch are of different races, and the two sides may have some degree of hostility. Therefore, the QB will use this method to increase the possessors of demons and use them to deal with and eliminate the witch."


    Speaking of this, Ayano Xitong was silent for a moment.


    "To be honest, I am also very interested in the Miss Duanmu and the court where she belongs. Can you invite her to come here to chat with me?"


    "It''s okay for me, but I can''t contact her now, and my phone is not here."


    Qianshu spread his hands helplessly. Yes, the DA headquarters is like a school. Even if Liquelis enters, he cannot carry his mobile phone. Qianshu''s mobile phone is naturally confiscated when he enters the headquarters.


    "Commander Nanmu?"


    "I see."


    Commander Nanmu sighed helplessly and then made a gesture. Not long after, he saw Commander Nanmu''s secretary walking over with Qianshu''s cell phone and handing the phone back to Qianshu''s hand.


    "Ahhh! Thank you!"


    After taking back the phone, Qian Shu thanked him excitedly. Then she quickly turned on the phone skillfully and then glanced at the screen.


    "………ah."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "I may not be able to call Xiao Ai here."


    As he said, Chishu showed the screen of his phone to Ayano Yukiki.


    "She had already sent a message saying that she had found some clues about the witch and was going to N County... Judging from the time, it might have arrived now..."


    "………Why…………?"


    As Qian Shu said, when she got her cell phone, Duanmu Huai had already driven to the place recorded in the ancient book.


    “………Good guy, this is such a good guy.”


    Standing in the wilderness of wind and snow, Duanmuhuai was also confused.


    Remember that''s right, from the phone, the world is still September. Although the mountains here are a little higher, it won''t snow. If you do this, I thought someone was wronged.


    “Is it really here?”


    Duanmu Huai looked through the ancient books in his hand in confusion. Although the climate here is very abnormal, it has no sub-space atmosphere at all, and it doesn''t look like a witch''s barrier... Well, I always feel that I must have found the wrong place.


    In short, find a place to avoid it first.


    Duanmuhuai left the city in the morning. When he drove here, he climbed up the mountain again. It was already dusk. Although Duanmuhuai''s physical fitness is not bad even if he is walking in the blizzard, Duanmuhuai is unwilling to suffer this crime. Fortunately, when he was climbing the mountain just now, Duanmuhuai had already seen a small wooden house not far away, which should be a place for hunters to rest when hunting. It would be good to stay there for a night and then continue to investigate.


    Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai also walked towards the direction of the wooden house in the heavy wind and snow.


    The climate in the mountains always changes at any time. When Duanmuhuai came to the wooden house, the whole mountain was already pitch black, with only the whistling sound of wind echoing among the mountains, mixed with blizzards blowing towards him.


    "Um?"


    However, when Duanmuhuai walked to the door of the cabin, he found obvious signs of fire in the cabin.


    In addition to yourself, there is someone going up the mountain at this time?


    No matter what, let’s talk about it first.


    Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai knocked on the door, then pushed open the door and walked in.


    "Sorry, I''ve disturbed."


    "Click."


    The thick wooden doors isolated the cold air and blizzard outside. Duanmuhuai walked into the wooden house and found that the wooden house was very clean, and there were flames and piles of firewood burning in the fireplace next to it. Not only that…


    Wow.


    Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai didn''t say anything, but whistled inside.


    It''s no wonder. After all, anyone who pushes open the door and walks into the house and sees a blonde beauty facing her, dressed in messy clothes, will inevitably want to feast her eyes.


    "Sorry, I''ve disturbed."


    "Ah, don''t care."


    Seeing Duanmu Huai coming in, the blonde beauty seemed very calm and even smiled at Duanmu Huai kindly. Well, this is because Duanmu Huai currently uses a clone. If it is the main body, this is the rhythm of calling the police.


    But... it''s really strange.


    Duanmuhuai walked into the hut, sat on the chair next to him, and looked at the blonde woman in front of him curiously. The latter is obviously changing because her clothes were wet on heavy snow. But what surprised Duanmu Huai was that this blonde beauty was not wearing a mountaineering suit, and she didn''t look like she was hunting. On the contrary, judging from the turban she wore and the dark blue robe she wore, she was closer to the nun…


    A nun, dressed like this to climb a mountain?


    What rhythm is this?


    Of course, strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai is not qualified to talk to the other party. After all, Duanmu Huai is dressed in a long robe and long skirt on weekdays. At least the nun’s outfit looks warm, Duanmu Huai’s outfit looks like she has spent the summer.


    Although strictly speaking, this is indeed summer, what do you know why this mountain nest looks like Antarctica.


    “Ah, I haven’t introduced myself yet.”


    Duanmu Huai also spoke at this moment.


    "My name is Duanmu Ai, hello, please give me some advice."


    "Hello, Miss Duanmu."


    Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, the blonde beauty also smiled slightly.


    "I am Sharon Holi Greer. I''m meeting for the first time. Please give me some advice."
