Chapter 159: Xiao Nagisa, who has fallen into a coma

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Que stop mid-sentence, Algol, who had already begun contemplating how to make her move, looked over.

"Did something happen?"

"Hmm... it's not really a big deal."

Lin Que thought about his schedule for the day; there was nothing that absolutely had to be done.

After confirming that it would be fine even if he left, Lin Que looked at Algol.

"I'm planning to go out for a walk; I'll leave the matter of the Children of the Curse to you for now."

"As for the Christian matter, don't rush it. Wait until I return, and I'll take you out to act together; otherwise, if you act now, you'll be exposed."

"Fine."

A flash of regret crossed Algol's face: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

It wasn't the first or second time Lin Que had suddenly gone out.

Even before she had broken free from her seal, she had been taken out for a stroll by Lin Que.

Based on past experience, he would be back in a day or two at most.

Having endured in silence for so many years, a few more days wouldn't make a difference.

"Algol, go handle those Children of the Curse first. See you later."

"Mm, go ahead."

Watching Algol leave, Lin Que turned his attention to the chat group.

[Emergency Notice: Group member 'Medium Shrine Maiden' is facing a life-threatening crisis. Please have group members or administrators initiate rescue immediately.]

Fan Fan Fan Fan Maxing: "?!"

Asuna: "What's the situation? How did little Nagisa suddenly encounter a life-threatening crisis?"

Kaguya-sama: "If I remember correctly, she seemed to say yesterday that she was going to assist her father in developing some ruins."

Furniture City Expert: "Oh no! That must mean she encountered some danger in the ruins!"

As a professional archaeologist who constantly encounters all sorts of inexplicable events in ruins, Jackie Chan felt this deeply.

Passerby Heroine: "Um... I think rather than discussing where she encountered danger, the most important thing now is to save her."

Demon Slayer Flower Pillar: "Don't be anxious yet. Based on my experience from when I encountered danger last time, this notification is more like a warning; there is still time."

Avenger: "If Kanae says so, then it must be true."

Demon Slayer Flower Pillar: "That said, time isn't exactly abundant either."

Demon Slayer Flower Pillar: "Is anyone planning to act? If not, I'll go."

Hair Gel Hand: "I need to maintain the balance of the three realms here; I cannot leave for the moment."

Sword Princess: "Just encountered a Monster Banquet in the dungeon; I am currently covering the retreat of other members of my familia."

Ice Queen: "Currently hunting a Super Danger Beast."

Thief Cat: "???"

Thief Cat: "Aizen is one thing, but you two, don't spam the group while doing such dangerous things!"

Special Grade Chef: "Um... do you need my help?"

Through daily high-intensity culinary training and the enhancements of the chat group, Liu Liu Mao Xing considered his physical fitness to be quite good.

Although he didn't know what kind of danger that fellow group member who joined at the same time had encountered, he felt he should try to help.

Aquaman: "Chefs shouldn't run to the front lines to fight. Let the work of saving people be left to the enthusiastic administrator."

Furniture City Expert: "Great! Administrator Lin Que is here!"

Demon Slayer Flower Pillar: "Since Lin Que is acting, I won't go over."

Thief Cat: "Indeed, a sense of relief just washed over me."

Aquaman: "Watch my performance.jpg"

[Group member 'Aquaman' has started a live stream.]

Gozo Island, Coffin of the Fairy.

Two giant wolves, one gold and one silver, three to four meters tall, were wreaking havoc among the crowd.

Security team members wearing bulletproof armor and holding firearms continuously pulled their triggers, firing special bullets from their rifles that landed on the giant wolves' bodies.

But as if they were monsters from myths and legends, these two giant wolves were completely unaffected, tearing all the security team members to pieces.

After a while, the gunfire in the stone chamber ceased completely. The two giant wolves, having finished off all the security team members, turned and walked toward the rear.

"Good work, Hati, Sköll."

Liana, dressed in adventurer's hunting gear and exuding a capable aura, raised her hands and stroked the heads of the two giant wolves.

"Thanks to you, otherwise this would have been troublesome."

"Is this... the power of a vampire from the old era?"

Not far away, Akatsuki Kojou, seeing such powerful familiars with his own eyes for the first time, widened his eyes, a look of astonishment on his face.

"So strong."

"Are you two hurt?"

Hearing Akatsuki Kojou's voice, Liana looked over.

"Sorry for dragging you into such a dangerous situation."

"It's nothing, this isn't your fault."

Akatsuki Kojou shook his head and looked at Akatsuki Nagisa, who was still in a coma nearby.

"If anything, this is all the attacker's fault."

The attacker he spoke of was not the security team members who had just been holding firearms.

They were originally guardians of the ruins investigation team; Akatsuki Kojou had even greeted them before entering the ruins.

The reason they attacked was that these security team members had already been killed by someone before arriving at this stone chamber.

· ·········· ·······

The real culprit used necromancy to control their corpses, bringing them to this basement to launch an attack on them.

"Damn it! Who on earth would do such a malicious thing!"

"Not sure, but Dr. Yaze has already gone to investigate."

Liana's expression was somewhat weary: "Let's stay here until the results come out."

In order to protect the Akatsuki siblings from dozens of armed security team members, Liana had also sustained quite a few injuries.

Although she had recovered through a vampire's regenerative abilities, this did not mean there was no cost.

Right now, she was not only mentally exhausted, but more than half of the magic power in her body was depleted.

It was better not to move around casually until she had recovered.

"Speaking of which, has Akatsuki Nagisa not woken up yet?"

Akatsuki Kojou shook his head: "No, Nagisa seems to be sleeping very soundly."

..... .. 0

"Strange, her condition seems a bit off."

Liana looked at the young girl nearby, who was dressed in shrine maiden robes with her eyes closed.

Although she wasn't a professional in this field, Liana's judgment was quite good.

Her gaze lingered on Akatsuki Nagisa for two seconds, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Compared to a deep sleep after excessive mental exhaustion, this looks more like she is still in a state of spirit possession."

If Liana remembered correctly, this state was extremely energy-consuming for the user.

From the time they entered the stone chamber to the encounter with the attack, and then to her dealing with the controlled security team members, several minutes had already passed.

During this time, for Akatsuki Nagisa to have remained in a state of spirit possession without interruption was truly inexplicable.

"Kojou, move aside, let me see what's going on."

Liana's expression became serious: "If something is really wrong with Akatsuki Nagisa, we might need to find Dr. Yaze immediately."

Hearing Liana say this, Akatsuki Kojou's expression also became tense: "Then I'll leave it to you, Ms. Liana."

"It's nothing, this is what I should do..."

Boom—!

Just as Liana was preparing to check Akatsuki Nagisa's condition, a new explosion sound suddenly came from not far away.

In the astonished gaze of the two, the outer wall of the nearby stone chamber suddenly collapsed, and a three-meter-tall dog-headed beastman walked in.

After scanning the stone chamber, his eyes suddenly fixed on Liana, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"So you were hiding here, Liana Karuana!"
