After Ai Li made this request, the others immediately became nervous. They had always instinctively believed that Shadow Time was very dangerous, and most people who strayed into it would be attacked by shadows and turned into living dead, and only a very small number of people with Personas could survive.
But they ignore that these people are not necessarily good people.
Although the 12th artificial island is in a semi-stagnant state due to the accident at the Kirijo Research Institute, there are still tens of thousands of residents living on this artificial island. From a purely probability perspective, it is not surprising that among so many people there is a guy who can enter the shadow time, has evil intentions, and possesses a Persona that can fight against the shadows.
Of course, in order to make Kirijo Mitsuru and others pay attention to this matter, Ai Li also specially described what those perverts would do after they have the ability. For example, they would sneak into the house of the girl they like, and then smell her underwear, and then pull the girl who was sleeping in the shadow time out of the coffin, and then do this and that, and then stuff her back. In this way, no one will find out when the shadow time is over. Even if the girl wakes up and feels a little uncomfortable, she will not think that she has been defiled...
Hearing this was enough to scare the girls so much that their faces turned pale, and at the same time they became even more angry at that despicable and shameless pervert. Not only did Kirijo Mitsuru, Takeha Yukari and Shiomi Kotone swear to catch this hateful female enemy, but even Satonaka Chie and Amagi Yukiko also expressed that they would do their best to bring the damn criminal to justice!
That's right, after Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi also joined the SEES team. Strangely enough, they originally had no resistance to Shadow Time, but after the previous "Late Night TV", both of them had Persona at the same time and were able to enter Shadow Time.
So, with the arrival of shadow time, the entire artificial island fell into a miserable green again, and everyone began to patrol in groups of two under the command of Ellie - the shadows on the artificial island were not as difficult to deal with as those in Tartarus. Even Chie Satonaka and Yukiko Amagi could easily deal with those annoying guys as long as someone gave them guidance.
As for Ellie, she sat on a broom with her legs crossed, holding a Barrett in her hand... In the movie time, ordinary machines basically couldn't work, so Ellie had to cosplay a helicopter herself.
Air superiority is important no matter what.
Ellie's plan was simple. She would send people to search everywhere. Once they found anything, they would immediately notify her, and then she would go directly from high altitude to deal with the other party.
Of course, it is very difficult to find the target in such a large artificial island, but... we should always try, right?
At the same time, in the Amagi Hotel...
"Wow, it really has turned into a coffin."
Jiangkou Jietong curiously pushed open the paper door, looked at the coffin standing upright in the room, and immediately cried out. Today, they came to the 12th artificial island to enjoy the hot spring hotel without telling Ai Li. Of course, everyone was very relaxed at the beginning, until after twelve o'clock, the whole world suddenly changed.
However, before coming here, everyone had heard from Setsuna about the situation here, so when faced with the changes in front of them, Jiangguchi Yuito was not nervous at all, but rather a little excited.
"Oh...it feels so comfortable..."
As she spoke, the little girl raised her hands and stretched, and at the same time, dark wings and tails emerged from behind the girl. For some reason, Jiangkou Jietong felt that she was particularly comfortable during this period of time, as if she was a fish in water.
At this moment, the paper door opposite was also pushed open. Then Xia Yin, wearing a yukata, stuck her head out and looked out carefully. When she saw Jie Tong, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay, Yuito?"
"Hmm? I'm fine, but Sister Setsuna has turned into a coffin. What about you?"
"Nagisa has also turned into a coffin, but Ms. Astarutei and I are fine."
As Xia Yin spoke, an artificial life form with blue hair poked its head out from beside her and stared silently at the corridor in front of it.
Seeing this, Jie Tong immediately raised his hand with a smile.
"Then why don't we go out for a walk? Maybe we can run into Big Sister!"
"Is this okay?"
Compared to the naughty and lively Jie Tong, Xia Yin is obviously more well-behaved and obedient.
"Didn't Setsuna say there's a monster called Shadow here that's very dangerous?"
"But we are not safe now. Sister Xuecai also said that shadow monsters will not attack those who have turned into coffins, but will attack people who are wandering around like us. So even if we stay in the hotel, it will not be a good thing. Maybe those shadow monsters will come to our door."
"But……"
"Sister Xia Yin, don't you want to help your elder sister?"
At this moment, Jie Tong also jumped out, reached out to grab Xia Yin's hands, staring at her with her big eyes without blinking, and behind her, her black heart-shaped tail was swinging.
"Big sister has helped us so many times, but we have never been able to help her. But now it's different. Look, during the shadow time, Sister Setsuna can't move. Isn't it time for us to come on stage?!"
"Um……"
Hearing what Jie Tong said, Xia Yin also hesitated. Just as Jie Tong said, they were rescued by Ai Li, and have lived a peaceful and stable life with her since then. But even so, they are still somewhat uneasy in their hearts, always feeling that they want to do something for Miss Ai Li, and now is an opportunity, but...
"What can we do?"
Xia Yin hesitated for a moment, but still raised the question uneasily. Although she was once made into an artificial angel by her father, and at that time Xia Yin could even compete with Ai Li who summoned her beast. However, the magic circle used to circulate spiritual energy in Xia Yin's body had long been destroyed by Xue Cai using the "Xue Xia Wolf". Although she now also inherited the royal psychic bloodline, she has no fighting power - from this point of view, Xia Yin is not even as good as Nagisa, who at least learned some psychic skills from her mother-in-law to be used as a shrine maiden.
As for Jiangguchi Jietong, she possesses a strong nightmare power, but the nightmare power itself is aimed at the mind, so it is hard to say how useful it can be against those shadow monsters.
Only Astarudi is an artificial human who has her own familiar, so she is the only one among the three who has the current combat power.
"We can cheer up Sister Ai Li and the others, or do something within our ability, right?"
In response to Xia Yin's question, Jie Tong gave an answer quickly, which even made people wonder if she had planned it all along.
"But where are we going to find Miss Ellie?"
“I have a map!”
Hearing this, Jie Tong smiled and took out a map.
"I've already heard from Sister Setsuna that Sister Ai Li is now living in a place called Iwatodai Branch. I checked on the map and found that it's not too far away. As long as we can get there, we will definitely be able to see Sister Ai Li!"
Well, no need to ask, this was definitely premeditated.
"……All right."
Hearing this, Xia Yin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Just as Jie Tong said, they had always wanted to repay Ai Li, but they didn't know what to do. But now that they had such a rare opportunity, they certainly didn't want to let it go.
So after leaving a letter for Setsuna and Nagisa, the three of them changed their clothes and walked out of the hotel.
At this moment, the artificial island No. 12 looked extremely strange under the moonlight. The pale green moonlight enveloped the entire artificial island. The boundary between black and white was extremely clear, and even bloodstains could be seen on the ground and walls - no one knew where these bloodstains came from.
"Ugh... I feel like I'm not feeling well."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Xia Yin couldn't help but shrink her body. She could feel that in the darkness, a strange and terrifying aura was spreading.
"Will it? I feel quite comfortable."
Flapping his wings like a bat, Jie Tong stretched out comfortably.
"The moonlight here is so comfortable, and I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm full of energy here!"
"I don't feel anything."
Unlike Xia Yin and Jie Tong, Astaruddi didn't seem to feel any strange aura coming from Shadow Time.
"Okay, let's go!"
As she spoke, Jiangguchi Yuito raised her hand with a smile.
"The big sister will be shocked when she sees us! Let's GO!!"
Led by Jie Tong, the three of them walked down the slope along the street. They crossed the long slope, passed the shrine, and came to the shopping street.
"Are you sure it's around here, Yuito?"
Xia Yin looked around uneasily and asked in a low voice. For some reason, she always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark shadows around her, which made Xia Yin feel very uneasy. In response to Xia Yin's question, Jie Tong looked at the map in front of her with the help of the moonlight and nodded.
"Yes, according to the map, as long as we pass through this shopping street and then walk to the east side of the square..."
“Wuwuwu…”
However, before Jie Tong could finish her words, suddenly, a strange crying sound came with the night wind, interrupting the conversation between the two. The three girls looked at each other and their expressions changed at the same time.
"So, what's that sound?"
Xia Yin immediately moved closer to Astarudi and asked in a low voice, and Jie Tong also lowered his voice at this time.
"It sounds like crying? Is there anyone else here besides us?"
"Could it be a ghost?"
"there."
Compared to the nervous Natsune Yezane and Yui Eguchi, Astaruddy remained calm. She slowly raised her hand and pointed to a store not far away with the words "Konishi Shoten" written on it.
"That's where the sound came from."
The three of them stared at the store not far away, and after a moment, Jie Tong made a suggestion.
"How about... let's go take a look?"
