Chapter 228: CH.225: Bingo.
( Yuuki's POV )
Erica, Shera, and I left the temple through the back door and headed to the area where I was feeling the fracture in space, Rhym was walking behind us carrying two huge briefcases.
I had sent a message to the order of the cross so when we arrived at our destination there were already members of the order standing guard, without wasting any time I opened the briefcases that Rhym was carrying and I set up the portal gate around the fissure in space, this was to determine the danger level of the other world, scan for any kind of supernatural energy and as an extra resend my SOS message to my family, on the off chance that it will reach my Sekireis faster from that world.
I connected my phone to the gateway and it started feeding me information about the other world.
Yuuki: Danger level; low, no energy detected, time difference; hours over minutes, pretty normal world.
Erica: ok, let's see it.
The present order members shared a worried look, probably not much they could say to stop Erica.
Yuuki: No, I'll go alone.
Erica: But, you said it was safe.
Yuuki: Low danger doesn't mean safe, you just have to wait a minute, you can do that, right?
Erica didn't answer, but I didn't stay to wait for one, I jumped into the portal, and the only one who followed me was Rhym.
On the other side of the portal, there was a somewhat creepy forest, I used the radar on my phone, and after a few seconds, I had a map of the area, a small map, I was on a small island with no signs of life or civilization.
Rhym dissolved his physical form and returned to my soul, and then I spread my dragon wings and took off.
With my aerial position, I could see the vast ocean, another larger island than the one I had appeared on, and the mainland, I had an hour so I flew to the mainland to see what was happening there, I wasn't expecting much but when I saw the first signs of civilization I knew that was trouble, but what could I do? I'm a busybody.
I was flying over a small old town and in the middle of the town square they had a big bonfire, where the townspeople were burning a person dressed as a policeman, It was too late to save him so I just kept watching, and while the policeman's body was burning the townspeople started shouting "outsider" in Spanish and they ran towards another policeman I think, he wasn't wearing a uniform.
The outsider started shooting to defend himself, I thought about offering some support, but he was quite skilled, running through the town, jumping out of windows, and parrying the axes the townspeople were throwing at him with a knife, real action hero stuff.
Despite that, the villagers could eat many bullets before being put down permanently, I wondered if humans are abnormally resilient in this world, Either way, the outsider was going to be in trouble soon, after all, he doesn't have infinite stamina or ammunition, I finally decided to help but at that moment I heard the sound of a bell in the distance and after hearing that the villagers forgot about the outsider and they just walked away. when the outsider was out of danger he let out an inexplicable phrase.
Outsider: Where is everyone going... Bingo?
Maybe he is a bingo fan, well that doesn't matter.
The outsider continued exploring the town, and I decided to follow the strange villagers, They marched towards a church, but when they got closer, a woman dressed in red with a grappling hook jumped from the bell and also started shooting at the villagers.
Yuuki: This place is full of weirdos.
I landed on the roof of the church and laid back down, I was lacking too much context in the situation, so I called Mythra and Pheliss to be my eyes and ears.
Yuuki: I need you to follow those two outsiders, and find out what is happening here.
Mythra: As you command, master.
The girls grew black fallen angel wings, and after bowing, they flew away, while I was waiting for news, I decided to take a little nap because why not.
////////////////////////////
A few hours later, the first one to contact me was Mythra who was following the bingo enthusiast.
Yuuki: What did you find?
Mythra: [ Master, that man seems to be on a mission to rescue a kidnapped girl, the villagers have done everything to try to stop him, they are kinda out there.]
Yuuki: rescue a kidnapped girl, is she his girlfriend or something?
Mythra: [ I don't think so, he's in contact with someone else, and they're using code names to communicate, they call the girl Baby Eagle, and they seem pretty sure she's in the church. ]
Yuuki: That's how it is huh, investigate the villagers, something's definitely wrong with them.
Mythra: [ right away. ]
After cutting communication with Mythra I jumped from the roof in front of the church door, the entrance was blocked by steel bars and a strange lock but that was not a problem, I made my body intangible and proceeded to enter the place, the interior was a common temple but I could hear some noise coming from the second floor, I followed the noise to a locked room from the outside, this must be the place where the baby eagle is being locked up.
I put my hand on the lock and with my transmutation I unlocked the door, I entered slowly so as not to scare whoever was inside but by my side, a girl ran and took a swing at me with a candlestick, but she was obviously expecting someone taller, because without me moving she missed me completely and she tripped over my body.
