"If I had hesitated for just a few seconds before, I might have been able to save that young man."
When the blood mist exploded not far away, this thought flashed through Maka's mind.
But maybe it’s because I’ve seen enough cruel scenes recently! When he saw the embarrassed young wizard whose head was exploded by a blow from the demon behind him, he just narrowed his eyes slightly.
If you didn't catch up, you didn't catch up. It was neither Luna nor Hermione who died, but just one of the thousands of victims in this disaster. Obviously, he had no reason to fight to save the past for a stranger like he did to save Luna before.
So after seeing that scene, Maka was just startled for a moment, and then she immediately concentrated on holding her breath and disappeared, and left before the demon noticed her.
But of course, the "hope" that burst out from the young man's eyes when he saw him in the end was still deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Feel sorry."
Maka quickly moved away from the construction site. This time, he didn't even choose to fly on the magic book. Instead, he chased the girl in the direction of the previous escape as quickly as the wind was blowing under his feet.
He knew that because the demon had some unknown sensing abilities, sooner or later he would follow some unknown traces to find his location. Therefore, all he can strive for is more free time to move.
But…
"At least there is something to gain," Maka thought to herself as she ran. "That was definitely the real demon just now, not Haierbo who occupied its body. So this also means that Haierbo has not yet completely Victory over the will of the devil—at least that must be good news!”
However, while running, Maka suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Where are the people?"
With his speed, he didn't think he could catch up with the girl before after running so far, and this was obviously a bit strange.
"Speaking of which, the remaining magic traces on the road also disappeared on the way... Did she hide it? What method was used?"
Just the fact that he lost the pursuit without realizing it was enough to make him feel a little incredible. After all, his tracking level is not low at all!
"Well, so... I missed it?"
Thinking of this, his steps finally slowed down a little, and then after thinking about it, he suddenly turned around and returned along the way he came.
Not long after, Maka suddenly seemed to notice something and stopped moving forward in an alley.
"...here?"
He obviously hasn't really found the girl's whereabouts yet. At the moment, he just found the specific location where the girl's magic power fluctuation suddenly stopped. .
"Where?"
…
At this moment, the girl was actually only one wall away from Maka. It's just because she has activated the magic ring given to her by the rock young man, hiding her existence just like she did when she was with the other person before.
Due to the sprint just now, the girl seemed a little out of breath at the moment. She was leaning against the wall and sliding along the wall to the base of the wall as if she had lost some strength.
She is not usually a girl who loves sports. To be precise, she is an "indoor person" who stays at home all day without going out. If she hadn't met Haierbo during an accidental walk, she would probably still be in a daze in her room at home with her little bear doll Lina!
It must be said that Fei is a very talented little witch - as a descendant of a lonely wizard family, her strength is consistent with her family history. It's a pity that her family has continued to decline over the generations, and now only she and her cousin are left.
Of course, she wasn't actually interested in these so-called family inheritances.
Because she was frightened as a child, she was a little autistic compared to other peers, so she did not go to school like other children. And after staying at home for a long time, she became more and more withdrawn.
Therefore, it is very uncomfortable for her to spend her days running around outside.
"...Lina."
After running around for a while, after hearing this, she naturally thought of the lost doll again. And it was obvious that the little bear doll Lina was the most important friend to her.
Now that her friend has been lost, she feels very uneasy.
However, even if she has some flaws in her character, this does not mean that her mind is immature. Although she was in great pain because of the loss of her doll, she still had a very clear understanding of the situation she was in.
It's dangerous outside! She knew that she could lose her life at any time.
And this is indeed the case - first, the gentleman uncle disappeared after leaving his wife behind, and now the life or death of the nagging big brother is also uncertain.
Will the big black guy catch up
To be honest, although her magic level is by no means low, even compared to the middle-aged gentleman and the young rocker, it can be said that each has its own merits. However, what she is good at is definitely not combat magic. Once she encounters that demon head-on, she will probably die in just a few seconds.
Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but pursed her white lips and stood up again.
She was hiding in the back door storage room of a house in an alley. Now she stood up and looked out through the gap in the curtains.
And it was at this glance that she saw Maka, who was standing outside with a confused look on her face.
The girl didn't look too carefully, so she only knew that there was a person standing outside, and... that person was obviously looking for her.
She grabbed the magic ring in her hand, took a step back, and then squatted down again and sat on the floor in the corner.
"Lina... I miss you."
In normal times, she looks a little indifferent to most things. In fact, it is easy for people to mistake her for a cold and unlovable girl. But in fact, she has a rather fragile and soft heart.
In this seemingly crisis-ridden moment, she was indeed scared.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, with a soft "squeak" sound, the back door that she had just carefully closed was opened from the outside again. Then, the figure standing outside just now walked in from the door.
This immediately shocked the girl. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly shrank and hid as much as possible in the corner of the side locker next to her.
But then, a burst of footsteps gradually approached from the back door, causing the girl to tighten her pale lips again.
