After talking with Mana, Fang Zheng also decided on his next goal, which was to find other elves and make contact with them. And the first target he chose was Nightmare.

"Really, do you really want to look for her, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

Looking at Fang Zheng beside her, Shion asked anxiously.

"Didn't Miss Mana say that the elf killed a lot of people?"

"Even so, we don't know why she did all this, Yoshino."

While quickly browsing the information on the screen in front of him, Fang Zheng answered softly.

"You know, killing people doesn't sound good at first glance, but we also have to look at the target. At present, all we know from Mana is that the elf killed more than 10,000 humans with his own hands instead of using space shock. But other than that, we know nothing. As far as we can see, space shock has a wide range and is very powerful. Logically speaking, using space shock to eliminate humans is obviously a very convenient method. But the elf did not use this method, but used his own power to kill people. Why this is so is still unknown, and... there is another question."

"What's the question?"

"If that elf really kills people like crazy, then why doesn't she target magicians? Compared to ordinary people, magicians are the ones who are most likely to come into conflict with elves, but according to Mana, that elf seems to kill ordinary people and rarely targets magicians. Not only that, although the number of people she killed seems to be large, it didn't cause any sensation."

After searching the information on the Internet, Fang Zheng quickly discovered the problem.

Ten thousand people is not a small number. Of course, Fang Zheng did not doubt that the elves had this ability. In fact, even Yoshino had such power. If she summoned angels to open a barrier, she could also freeze an entire city and turn all the people inside into ice sculptures. Judging from Yoshino's ability, the power of other elves might not be far behind.

But in this case, there are also problems.

Assuming that the other party killed 10,000 ordinary people at once, such a large-scale disaster could not be covered up at all. The authorities could only rationalize it with space earthquakes or other excuses, but Fang Zheng searched the data in recent years and found no space earthquakes or natural disasters with casualties exceeding 100 people.

This means that the number of people killed by this elf at one time should not be large, which involves the second question, that is, what is the basis for this elf to kill people. If it is an indiscriminate massacre, then this result is impossible, especially with the power of the elves, it only takes a few minutes to kill a group of ordinary people.

In this case, the number of victims in one incident is quite limited, which can only mean that the elf is likely to be selective in finding its targets.

Then, all we have to do next is find information about the victims and determine what they have in common, and we should be able to make some judgments about the character and motives of this elf.

“Wow… Why does it feel so complicated… I don’t understand it at all…”

"Perhaps it's too complicated for Yoshino."

Seeing the girl beside him lowering her head, thinking hard, Fang Zheng smiled and reached out to touch her little head.

"But this is not something you need to worry about, Yoshino. Just keep doing it. Those things are not suitable for you to deal with. Leave them to me."

This was Fang Zheng’s first reason, and another reason why he didn’t believe Mana was… Mana was just a child.

Although from the perspective of momentum, Mana is very capable and looks very capable. But she is just a 13 or 14-year-old child, and children of this age are the easiest to be deceived. Otherwise, why don't college students become magical girls? It is because after graduating from high school, their outlook on life and values ​​are basically fixed, and they will no longer be incited by the so-called peace, justice, love and dreams and other illusory slogans to fight for their lives like when they were young.

Mana is still at this age of innocence, simplicity and integrity. Through previous conversations with her, Fang Zheng has discovered that Mana's train of thought is basically a straightforward logic: [Space quakes are very harmful to humans] --> [Space quakes are caused by elves] --> [Elves are very harmful to humans] --> [So we must eliminate the elves to protect humans].

For such a simple girl, even if there is some hidden secret, I am afraid DEM will not tell her.

While Fang Zheng was thinking, he had already hacked into the DEM database again, and found the information about Nightmare. As expected, Fang Zheng soon found the list of victims in the file - well, it was a long list, and it looked really shocking. Indeed, if it were an ordinary person, just seeing such a long list, he would probably think that this elf must be a murderer who killed people without hesitation.

Next, we need to find the common points among these victims...

“Ugh…!!!”

At this moment, suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded, and then Fang Zheng and Shion saw people around them quickly running towards a building not far away. They quickly got on the elevator, and then soon, in front of Fang Zheng, the iron doors of the buildings were lowered, blocking the surrounding buildings.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

At this moment, not far away, a passerby who was running towards the shelter also shouted at Fang Zheng and Shion.

"A spacequake is coming! Hurry and take shelter!"

While shouting, the passerby rushed into the shelter not far away.

Upon hearing his roar, Fang Zheng and Shion looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is this the space quake alarm?

Looking at the people around him who looked well-trained and as if they had long been accustomed to it, Fang Zheng finally understood why there was no one around every time he appeared in the world... It seemed that the disaster relief drills in this world were done very well.

but……

"Yoshino, do you feel the fluctuations in space?"

"No……"

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Shion shook her head. As an elf, Shion could sense the spatial fluctuations caused by the collision between the present world and the neighboring world. But this time, Shion did not seem to notice the precursor of the spatial shock.

"Neither have I..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned on his personal terminal and scanned the surroundings - the spatial frequency was normal, there was no problem, right?

Is it a false alarm?

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, suddenly, a whistling sound came from not far away. Fang Zheng looked up and saw dozens of fully armed magicians flying quickly in the sky and rushing forward. Not long after, dense gunshots and explosions rang out one after another.

It looked like a battle was going on over there, and if one side of the battle was a magician, then the other side should be the elf.

"Yoshino."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng quickly made a decision.

"You hide here for a while, I'll go check out the situation."
