Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 11 The Disappearing Fox Girl

"There's no one inside. Coco is not dead."

Kong knew that the hat in Paimon's hand was the one that Yu Keke always wore on her head.

The hat was left here, but no one was seen in the dilapidated house.

Either she escaped, or she was captured and taken away by the group that Paimon mentioned.

"Wow... She must have been captured by those bad guys. Let's go and rescue her."

Paimon held Yu Keke's hat and spoke anxiously.

"We don't know who captured her, so where are we going to find her now? Tell me what happened after I left, and then we can make a decision."

“Yeah! After you left, I was talking to Coco here and didn’t go anywhere.

After a while, we heard a lot of footsteps. We all hid quietly in the house without making any sound.

But they seemed to have known we were here for a long time. The leader, a scary-looking man holding a torch, came in and spotted us..."

"Did they say anything?"

"No...eh, no, it's Coco's new mother! That fierce aunt!" Paimon suddenly thought of something.
"Coco's new mother was among the group, and she pointed Coco out to them and came up to pull on her hat.

I went to help Coco, but the lady was so strong that I was thrown out.

Then I heard Coco crying inside, 'Paimon, please go and find your brother. Please help me find my father to save me...' Paimon said, imitating Coco's tone at that time.

"I was scared too. I couldn't beat them there, so I kept flying and flying until I finally found you."

"...So that group of people was most likely brought here by that lady, and they were the ones who set the fire."

Kong pondered. According to Yu Keke, only she knew this place, and she had always been here, with no one else.

Kong suddenly remembered what the aunt said when she scolded Yu Keke not long ago.
Tell her to go home quickly and not run around these few days...

The thatched house here was probably the place that the aunt had discovered when she was following Yu Keke.
This explains why they were so sure they could find Yu Keke here.

Thinking about it this way, it is very likely that Yu Keke’s abduction was a pre-planned kidnapping!

"Yeah! I think so too." Paimon nodded and continued:
"But why did that lady bring people to arrest Coco? Isn't she Coco's new mother?"

"Let's go out and ask around, maybe we can find some clues at her house."

"Uh-huh!"

Sora and Paimon walked out of the ruins, and the onlookers immediately surrounded them.

"Sir, I am the village chief of Qingxi Village. My name is Lucton. Do you have any instructions?"

The person who spoke was the old man who had been thanking Kong just now.

"Grandpa, we want to know how to get to Coco's house?"

Paimon asked.

"Keke...is she the little girl from the Yu family?"

Old Lake seemed to be a man who had seen the world. He was not surprised by Paimon's appearance, but recalled it and asked.

"Her name is Yu Keke, that should be it." Paimon nodded.

"Has anything happened to her?"

"She was kidnapped by bad guys, right here. They probably set the fire too."

"Oh, that poor little girl..." Old Lake sighed as he looked at the ruins of the thatched hut from which white smoke was faintly rising.

"Everyone, please disperse. My lord, follow me."

Old Lake waved his hand to dismiss the onlookers, and walked towards the village with Sora and Paimon on crutches.

"Sir, this is Yu Keke's home."

Because Old Lake had poor legs and feet, the three of them walked for more than ten minutes. Old Lake stopped and pointed to a wooden house that looked newer than the surrounding houses.

"Coco, are you home? Coco?"

Old Lake walked to the door, put down his crutch, knocked on the door gently, and called out to the people inside.

"Huh? What's going on? Is no one home in the middle of the night..." Old Lake shouted for a long time, but there was no sound in the house except for the occasional barking of dogs at the entrance of the village.

"Traveler, let me go in and take a look first."

Paimon volunteered to fly over the courtyard wall and found that not only the courtyard, but the house was also pitch black. The silence made her a little scared, and she quickly flew back to Kong's side.

"There's no one inside. It's dark everywhere. It's so scary." Paimon said.

"Let me see."

Kong released his elemental vision and looked towards the yard and the cabin through the gap in the wooden door.

I found that there was no one in the yard, but there was a gray figure behind the door of the cabin, and it seemed that it was holding something in its hand.

Crunch~.

Kong didn't say anything. He walked to the door and pushed it with a little force. The door made a sound and opened directly.

Arriving at the door of the cabin, Kong knocked again, but still no one answered.

But in the elemental's vision, the figure behind the door was holding a stick-shaped object high, waiting for the door to open and then smashing it down.

Kong didn't care. He glanced at Paimon and Old Lake who followed him, stretched out his palm and pushed forward, and the wooden door fell directly backwards.

"Ouch! Someone's killing me! Help!"

A woman's wailing sound was heard, and the door fell down and crushed the figure underneath.

"This is... Coco's mother?"

Old Lake came to the front of the hut, picked up the oil lamp and shone it continuously, trying to see the figure at the door clearly.

Seeing this, Kong kicked the wooden door open towards the house, and a figure holding a wooden stick appeared under the door in everyone's sight.

"Isn't this a bitch? What is this for?"

"Isn't this the fierce old lady? Where's Coco? Where did you hide her?"

Old Lake and Paimon spoke one after another. The woman put down her hands to try to cover her face, still screaming loudly.

"Help! There are robbers! Murder has been committed!"

"Stop howling. It's me, Village Chief Lake." Old Lake shouted with a frown.

"You're the village chief, but you can't break into people's houses in the middle of the night!"

The woman knew she had been recognized, so she stopped pretending. She stood up and dusted herself off. She quietly hid the wooden stick in her hand behind her and spoke fiercely to Old Lake.

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Did you know that our Old Yu is dead, and you brought people in here in the middle of the night to do something bad to me? Fine! You conscienceless old thing..."

The woman didn't wait for Old Lake to finish speaking and started scolding him.

Old Lake was so angry that his face turned pale. He pointed at the woman with trembling fingers and couldn't even say a word back at the scolding.

"Humph……"

Kong snorted coldly, and his power emanated from his body as he rushed towards the woman.

Shocked by the might, the woman staggered back a few steps and leaned against the wall, her lips trembling, not daring to make a sound.

"Where's Yu Keke?" Kong asked in a cold voice. He couldn't win the argument, so he could only force her to shut up.

"None of your business..." The woman was about to speak, but when she met Kong's sharp gaze, she swallowed her words back.

"Where's Coco? You captured her. Where are you hiding now? And those bad guys, where are they?"

Paimon asked eagerly.

Since only this fierce aunt is here, Coco may have been taken away by those bad guys. She is very worried.

　Paimon: Traveler, this book is so interesting, I've made up my mind! I'm going to read it every day! And I'm going to give it all my recommendation votes! Hehehe! <Paimon puts his hands on his hips>
