Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

"This idiot..."

Chapter 23 This is not a discussion, this is an order

"Warning, the host has entered the battle area and can use cards. Please prepare for battle. Warning, injury and death in battle are irreversible. Please treat it with caution."

"I'm sick!"

Shiki Shoufeng was already moving quickly, and the squeaking sound of the card device made Shiki Shoufeng feel even more annoyed.

How could he not know about the problem that the card reader reminded him of?

But asking him to abandon Shiori would be even more impossible for him to do, right?

wrong...

Can I use cards?

Shikimori Kaede did not stop, and with a flick of his wrist he summoned the card belonging to Shiori.

"receive."

He directly covered the card device on his wrist with the card. As a faint white light lit up, Shikimori Feng watched Shiori, who had been running in front of him, turn into a ray of light and be attracted back by the card in his hand.

"call."

Following Shikimori Kaede's order, Shiori appeared in front of him with a confused and anxious expression.

"maple...?"

After Shiori recovered from his shock, he was also shocked when he saw Shikimori Kaede appearing in front of him.

"Are you crazy?"

Shi Shoufeng was a little angry.

"Didn't you tell me not to walk around outside during a space shock? Why did you run out like that? Are you trying to save your life?"

"Kotori...Kotori!!"

Shiori didn't care about Shiki Morikaze's tone. She grabbed Shiki Morikaze's arm anxiously and said.

"That Kotori girl, I don't know why she showed up in that area, there's no shelter over there, she's been wearing a tracking device since yesterday, she hasn't moved for a long time! I'm afraid something has happened to her!"

It turned out to be because of Kotori.

"Give me."

"what?"

Shiori looked at Shikimorikaze at a loss.

"Give me the location and I'll go. Don't take the risk."

"No, Kotori is my sister, I can go by myself, but Kaede, you should go to the shelter as soon as possible."

"Stop talking nonsense to me."

Shikimori Kaede interrupted Shiori directly and snatched the phone from her hand.

"Shizhi, don't forget that you have agreed to become my card. Although I will give you full freedom, in a sense, I am your master now. This is not a negotiation with you, but an order."

"What card...this matter..."

Shikimori Kaede had no time to explain to Shiori now, he simply flipped his wrist and put Shiori back into the card.

"I'm sorry, you can do whatever you want to me afterwards, but there's no time to waste now. The longer we delay, the more danger Kotori may be in."

Shiki Shoufeng muttered something to the card silently, then put the card away and looked at his phone.

It's not far from where Kotori is, but there's still a little distance, after all, depending on the location...

Should it be in front and to the right of where you are now?

Shi Shoufeng looked around and immediately saw the not-so-tall residential buildings on both sides.

"It's really troublesome..."

Shi Shoufeng sighed helplessly and ran directly towards the residential building, climbing onto the roof in no time.

Only by moving towards the target from the roof can you arrive at it as quickly as possible. Otherwise, running on the ground is too tiring.

Just as Shi Shoufeng was rushing to his destination, several white shadows appeared behind him, moving rapidly in a triangular matrix.

"Captain, we have discovered human activity. At his speed, he may arrive at the battle site at about the same time as us."

One of the people at the back spotted Shiki Morikaze and reported.

"Go and provide support first. The main goal is to eliminate the 'Princess'. The advance troops are almost wiped out."

The officer called "Captain" ignored his subordinates' reports and gave instructions in a calm tone.

"understand!"

The destination has arrived.

But Shi Shoufeng stopped and cold sweat kept pouring out from his back.

Because just a second ago, a residential bungalow that he had just stepped on was directly split into two by an invisible attack.

The only thing that Shiki Shoufeng could sense was a crisp "clang" sound.

It was precisely because of this voice that Shikimori Feng subconsciously jumped onto the street and relied on his defensive stance to barely avoid injury.

“BOOM Boom Boom——!!!”

"What the hell..."

Shi Shoufeng looked back at the dilapidated residential buildings, which looked like... they were hit by a meteorite.

Now he finally understood what he had seen for the first time.

Is this the destructive power of the 'Princess'?

"you too?"

Just when Shi Shoufeng was still distracted, a cold voice without any emotion appeared in front of him.

When he turned around, a broad blade gleaming with rainbow light was already in front of her.

Blood was still dripping from the blade of the giant blade.

"Me too...what?"

Following the girl's voice, Shi Shoufeng's gaze slowly moved up along the cold luster of the blade until it met the girl's face.

The first thing that caught his eyes was the long purple hair that left a deep imprint in his memory. They were like the brightest stars in the night, condensed into a waterfall of light, pouring down from the girl's shoulders to her waist.

The girl's figure was tightly wrapped in a set of unique battle armor. Far from being bulky, the armor was designed like a princess dress in a dream, inlaid with tiny lights, and sparkling under the sunlight.

The armor cleverly combines beauty and practicality, covering the delicate shoulders, neck, arms, etc. with a thin layer of light film.

Her face was as calm as water, and at first glance seemed calm and emotionless.

But when Shi Shoufeng stared closely, he could catch a hint of subtle sadness, which appeared lightly between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

However, what really made Shiki Shoufeng unable to look away was not her cute face, but the girl's unique eyes.

Those eyes were like the most dazzling amethyst in the deep night sky, emitting an irresistible magic.

Shi Shoufeng was stunned involuntarily, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart.

He felt as if he was being pulled by an invisible gravitational force, unconsciously indulging in those eyes.

In the depths of those crystal clear pupils, Shi Shoufeng actually saw his own reflection clearly. Her eyes were so pure and deep.

That's a pair of...

Those eyes were without any impurities, pure as if they had never been polluted in any way.

But it forms a particularly strange contrast with the current murderous performance.

"Are you... 'Princess'?"

"Princess?"

The girl tilted her head slightly.

"Oh, isn't this what those annoying mosquitoes call me? As expected... you are the same kind of people as them."

Chapter 24 I Just Want to Know You

"What do you mean by fellow travelers? Is there something wrong with my reading comprehension? I don't understand what you are saying."

Shiki Shoufeng looked at the exquisite and beautiful girl in front of him in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. He really didn't understand what the other party was saying.

"Take off the unnecessary disguise. Who else could be the human who appears here, except someone who wants to kill me?"

The girl's tone was full of helplessness and dissatisfaction, as if she was tired of such things.

As if she didn't want to say any more to Shiki Shoufeng, she raised the big knife in her hand and held it high above her head along with the refracted sunlight.

“Collection target:??????? (unnamed status)

Card strength: 3 stars (can???)

Collection method: Reach worship level 40

Rewards for successful collection: five-fold expansion of combat range, one free-of-combat card, one star upgrade card, and optional improvement of the host's ability value.

??? (Unnamed state): Codenamed "Princess" by the people in this world, she has extremely strong destructive power, is afraid of humans and is hostile, but has a pure personality and is not very experienced in the world. She is one of the "elves" in this world. "

"Wait a moment!!"

At the critical moment, Kaqi received further clues through contact with the "Princess". He shouted hurriedly to stop the girl who wanted to swing the sword.

"Perhaps you misunderstood. I don't mean to become your enemy. I am here... uh... just to get to know you!"

Seeing the girl pause, Shikimori Feng immediately spoke out what was in his mouth.

After all, the four words "simple personality, not very worldly-wise" can be said to be the key for Shishou Feng to conduct further effective communication. For a simple girl, saying these words...should it be effective?

"Know me...?"

The girl's starry eyes couldn't help but reveal confusion, and she looked at the boy in front of her with suspicion.

"You're not going to let my guard down and kill me, are you? I won't fall for your trick."

"No, you showed up yesterday, too, didn't you? I saw you, but all I saw was your back and your long purple hair, right there... in that place."

Shiki Shoufeng wanted to gain the trust of the "princess", so he pointed in the direction of yesterday's space vortex and spoke very sincerely.

And when the girl looked in the direction that Shiki Morikaze pointed, the murderous intent in her body burst out once again.

"You are in cahoots with them!"

"What the hell??"

Shi Shoufeng also looked up at the sky, and soon he saw several white dots approaching at high speed in the sky.

"This is...."

Shiki Shoufeng seemed to see a familiar shadow.

"Captain, the target has spotted us, and the man just now is right next to her. Should we attack?"

"..."

At this moment, the captain saw the man's face clearly for the first time, and there was an expression of surprise and confusion on his face.

Looking at him, the captain also fell silent.

"Captain, we are about to hand over. Please give us your instructions?"

".....Concentrate on the handover with minimal firepower. No. 4, take that man away if you have a chance."

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, Shi Shoufeng saw those people stop directly above them, and then...

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

Countless ear-piercing sounds accompanied by pursuit missiles occurred among four of the figures, and then attacked him.

"Oh my god, what the hell!"
