"What is that!" Jingui Jiro subconsciously raised the baguette, his eyes full of vigilance.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes flashed red, and quickly locked onto the two black shadows on the ground: "Kabu! That's... the cockroach bully and the spider detective! Kabu!" There was a bit of surprise in his voice, and he obviously didn't expect to meet them in such a place.
The cockroach bully and the spider detective were tied tightly, with rags stuffed in their mouths, and their bodies kept twisting, making "mmm" sounds. Their eyes were wide open, full of fear and anxiety, as if they were asking for help.
Tian Delina frowned slightly, walked forward and squatted down, stretched out her hand to pull off the rags in the cockroach bully's mouth, with a bit of indifference in her tone: "Why are you here?"
The cockroach bully gasped for breath, his face pale, and was obviously scared: "We were... hung on the ceiling by that guy, and we were almost... almost scared to death!" His voice trembled, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes.
The Spider Detective's rag was also pulled off by Xiao Rang. He coughed a few times and said with a breath: "We wanted to sneak in to find the Peace Star, but we were trapped in the trap as soon as we came in, and then... we were hung on the ceiling!" There was a bit of annoyance in his voice, and he was obviously depressed about this failure.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes flashed red, and there was a bit of helplessness in his voice: "Kabu! You guys are really, you can't even avoid the trap, and you still want to find the Peace Star? Kabu!" There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
Kuranosuke walked forward, with a bit of thought in his eyes: "You just said... that guy? Who is it?" His eyes swept back and forth between the cockroach bully and the Spider Detective, with a bit of inquiry in his tone.
"There are only two teams in this competition, how could there be another team?"
The cockroach bully's forehead oozed a few drops of cold sweat, his throat rolled, and his voice was still trembling: "I... I can see clearly that guy is like a ball of black fog, with no entity at all! When he moves, his body will twist and float like smoke."
The spider detective also nodded and echoed: "Yes, that guy is very fast, and we didn't have time to react before he caught us." There was a bit of annoyance in his voice, and he was obviously depressed about his failure.
When Tian Delina heard this, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and her voice was low and serious: "Could it be... Could it be Captain Dragonfly? No, the referee will not participate in the competition, or is it the Buddha who appeared before?"
Xiao Rang scratched his head: "I think it is likely that it is another NPC designed by Captain Dragonfly. Have you forgotten the ice sculpture soldiers before?" There was some certainty in his voice.
At this moment, the air in the castle suddenly became cold, and the temperature around it dropped sharply. The breath of the crowd condensed into white mist in the air, and the stone road under their feet began to vibrate slightly, making a low "buzzing" sound.
"What's going on?" Xiao Rang's face turned pale in an instant, with a bit of panic in his eyes. His fingers tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, and his voice was a bit trembling.
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the shadow of the castle, so fast that it was difficult to catch. His body twisted like smoke, drawing a strange arc in the air, and rushed straight towards everyone.
"Scatter quickly!" Kuranosuke shouted, and quickly dodged the attack of the black shadow. His movements were clean and neat, and there was a bit of tension in his eyes.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes flashed red, and he quickly unfolded his mechanical arms to form a barrier to block the second attack of the black shadow. There was a bit of anxiety in his voice: "Kabu! This guy is too fast, we can't see his movements clearly, Kabu!"
Scorpion Lailai's mechanical pincers waved in the air, trying to catch the black shadow, but his movements seemed clumsy and slow in front of the black shadow. There was a bit of anger in his voice: "Damn! What on earth is this guy!"
Tian Delina stood aside, with a bit of calmness in her eyes and a bit of rationality in her voice: "Don't attack rashly, observe his action pattern first!" Her fingers tapped her chin lightly, obviously thinking about a countermeasure.
Just when everyone was restrained by the black shadow, Scorpion Lailai suddenly seized the opportunity and pounced on the cockroach bully and spider detective. The mechanical pincers quickly clamped them, and there was a bit of pride in his voice: "Boss, let's retreat first!"
The black shadow seemed to notice Scorpion Lailai's movements, and his body paused in the air, and then quickly chased after him. He was extremely fast, like a black lightning, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Kingame Jiro, follow them!" Kuranosuke reacted immediately and shouted, with a bit of urgency and vigilance in his voice. His eyes were fixed on the direction where the black shadow disappeared, and his fingers were trembling slightly, obviously to prevent the cockroach bully from finding the Peace Star first.
Kingame Jiro did not hesitate at all and quickly chased in the direction where Scorpion Lailai and the black shadow disappeared. His steps were firm, with a bit of fighting spirit in his eyes, and his voice was low and powerful: "A real man will definitely follow to the end!" His footsteps echoed on the stone slabs of the castle, and it seemed particularly hurried.
