Naomi smiled proudly. In the end, her sister won the duel.

Tanizaki did not change Naomi's mind about following him, and at this moment, the green light came on.

Xie Shuyi walked in front, shouting like a little adult, "Stop fighting when crossing the road~"

Tanizaki stood behind him, still muttering, "It's too dangerous anyway, you should go back."

Naomi jumped up and down, with a smile on her face, "Ala Ala. In that case, let me ask you to recall yesterday..."

The sound of her voice suddenly disappeared. Jie Shuyi was the first to feel something unusual. He turned his head sharply and his pupils shrank.

Tanizaki and Atsushi also noticed something was wrong, and they both turned back at the same time. However, when they turned around, they found that Naomi, who was only half a step away from them, had disappeared.

Dun said in disbelief, "No... No way..."

Tanizaki had already started shouting nervously, "Naomi! Where are you! Where have you been! Naomi!!"

Dun frowned and asked, "Enemy attack?"

Xie Shuyi's eyes were full of surprise, "This is impossible. I clearly didn't feel anything unusual."

Tanizaki gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, I didn't sense any breath."

But he didn't have time to continue thinking about the cause and effect. The longer Naomi was gone, the more dangerous it would be.

Tanizaki searched loudly, "Naomi!"

Atsushi watched him go away and yelled, "Mr. Tanizaki! Danger!"

At the same time, Xie Shuyi suddenly heard another voice calling him. That familiar voice was simply unforgettable to him.

He turned around abruptly. On the crowded street, as the group of people who were in the way walked by, the figure hiding behind them became clearer and clearer.

"Where are you, Alice-chan? This is really troublesome."

Xie Shuyi paused hesitantly.

"Why are you here too?"

Tanizaki was still shouting on the street, "Give Naomi back to me!!!"

Xie Shuyi sighed, "This is really a mess."

He was just about to go forward to find the man and ask about the situation, but the next second, accompanied by the girl's cheers, the scene around him suddenly changed.

"Let's play together~!"

I was clearly in a city full of tall buildings just now, but now the surroundings seem like a strange world.

Xie Shuyi stepped on the floor beneath his feet, and the black and white squares spread out, and everyone was like a chess piece standing on a king chess board.

When I looked up, I saw a blood-red sky, with objects floating in the sky that I couldn't tell whether they were clouds or something else.

Apart from the giant toys, everything else around me is some enlarged objects that are difficult to understand.

The people around were equally panicked. They were screaming and shouting, obviously panicked by what was happening.

Xie Shuyi no longer had the heart to look for Mori Ogai. He was eager to find Atsushi and Tanizaki.

This is an enemy attack.

Attack on them!

Melodious music sounded, as if trying to add a bit of peace to the eerie atmosphere, but it added the gloomy color of death for no reason.

"Welcome everyone to Anne's room~"

The girl stood outside the crowd, her head slightly raised, revealing her pretty face. A small red flower was tied into her burgundy twin ponytails, making her look incredibly adorable.

The slightly longer shirt covered her arms. The girl spread her hands with a hint of shyness on her face. “Oh, it’s so annoying to be stared at by so many people.”

She gestured with joy and said, "I'm not good at chatting with people I meet for the first time. But this won't work. If I don't explain things clearly, it will bother everyone."

She lowered her head and put her hands on her hips. "After all, I was suddenly brought to such a strange place. If it were me, my heart would have jumped out of my chest."

Tanizaki interrupted him with a gloomy face, "Where is Naomi?"

Lucy was stunned, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, "Ala, I'm sorry~ I should have explained this first."

Xie Shuyi had stood behind Tanizaki without him knowing. His gaze briefly rested on the girl's face, and then his attention was attracted by the door behind them.

"Everyone from the detective agency is over there." Lucy smiled cutely and pointed to the door at the back.

Jie Shuyi quickly ran to the door and looked at the scene inside through the narrow transparent glass on the door.

Miyazawa and Naomi were sleeping soundly in the hands of those enlarged puppets. They were bound in the puppets. Compared with the huge puppet hands, they were as small as ants. The person who decided their lives was Lucy.

Tanizaki also walked to the door. He stood outside the door and called out loudly, "Naomi!! Kenji!!!"

He couldn't help but swear, "Damn it! Naomi!!!" He kept knocking on the door, his eyes full of anxiety.

"You can't open it without a key." Lucy kindly reminded.

Xie Shuyi said coldly, "Where is the key?"

Lucy ignored him and pointed to the door on the other side with a smile, "The only door that can be opened is over there."

Jie Shuyi quickly walked to her side and pulled her arm forcefully with such force that Lucy's face was distorted with pain.

She forced a smile, "Huh? What do you want to do?"

"Where is the key?" Xie Shuyi gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

Lucy laughed, "You're really anxious. You only care about the people in the detective agency? You don't care about the rest of the ordinary people."

"What do you mean?" Xie Shuyi frowned.

Dun had already walked to the door on the other side, and through the narrow transparent glass, he was looking at everything outside.

The view outside was still Yokohama, the same street as before they came here, the only thing that was strange was.

"Ah, still." Dun muttered to himself, "Has time stopped?"

When Jie Shuyi paused, Lucy had already distanced herself from him, and at this moment a sweet smile appeared on her face again.

"My name is Lucy. This is a space created by my special ability. But don't worry, you can always go out through that white door."

With every word she spoke, Xie Shuyi's brows furrowed even more.

What exactly does this woman want to do?

Lucy: "Only if you don't want to rescue your companions."

Xie Shuyi let out a click of his tongue and clenched his fists.

Tanizaki could no longer control his anger, "What are you going to do?!"

Lucy smiled and said, "It's very simple. I would like you to play with Annie in this room... Welcome to Annie..."

[Superpower——Red-haired Anne of the Abyss]

As her voice fell, a huge doll appeared from behind her. The doll had two ponytails like her and wore a snow-white dress.

She and Lucy seem to be carved from the same mold, but the weird thing is that the button eyes are made of patched buttons, as if the god of death is looking at you.

Lucy smiled, "Annie loves playing the most. She's a little spoiled, but she's very cute."

As the giant puppet appeared, the crowd became obviously extremely noisy and excited, and people began to flee quickly, returning to the real world through the door Lucy mentioned.

"But if you go out through the door, you will forget everything that happened in the room." Lucy kindly reminded from behind, "Take care~"

Xie Shuyi watched her behavior coldly but did not step forward to stop her. It was not a bad thing for him for ordinary people to leave, and it would be much more convenient for his next actions.

The door was heavily closed. Lucy put her hands on her hips with some regret, looking at the few people left in front of her.

"Ala, are there only four people left?"

Dun had already assumed an attacking posture. He looked at the doctor who was slumped on the ground behind him and kindly reminded him, "It's very dangerous here. You'd better run away."

Xie Shuyi patted Dun on the shoulder and said, "Silly, he is in a safer situation than you."

Meeting Mori Ogai's perspective and seeing the latter pretending to slump on the ground, Jie Shuyi curled his lips and smiled, and was very kind not to expose him.

Mori Ogai lowered his head and finished his lines.

"I'll find another girl, suitable for a child as cute as an angel. Have you seen one?"

Looking at the photo held in Mori Ogai's hand, Atsushi shook his head with regret.

"No, unfortunately."

As soon as Dun finished speaking, his head was forcibly straightened.

"Idiot, let me teach you the first key point in fighting. Never let anyone distract you during a fight."

Xie Shuyi's eerie voice came from his ears.
