Tezuka, who had cautiously rounded the entire observatory, returned to her and shook his head at her.
"No one. He whispered, "You have to calm down, Yanagiquan-kun." Anger or anxiety doesn't work. ”
Liu Quan reluctantly ordered himself to follow his instructions, inhaling and exhaling several long breaths, trying to suppress the bad emotions in his chest.
Seeing that she did what she suggested, Tezuka said in a calm tone, "Come, tell me about the evil girl in your mouth." By analyzing her personality, her style of doing things, her likes and dislikes, her habits, perhaps we can deduce what exactly deviates from the clues she left behind. ”
His tone is very steady, and his words are very objective, and he inexplicably has a certain power to calm people's hearts and make people trust. Willow Springs, taking a deep breath, slowly slid his wand back into his sleeve.
"Her name is Bellatrix, and she is a man who has always had a very extreme personality, madly loving, revering, and trusting the bad wizard, whom we call the 'Dark Lord'. She comes with a strong ...... Uh, racist, think like me...... Ordinary people who only started learning magic spells later, as well as ordinary people like you or Jibe-kun who have no talent for magic spells at all, should all disappear from this world......"
Tezuka listened very carefully, and from time to time showed a thoughtful expression.
“…… Based on your description, can I think ...... She's a very conservative person, but she's very radical when it comes to ordinary people and those who dare to rebel against the 'Dark Lord', believing that only violence can work?" He thought for a moment after listening to Ryuzumi's tirade and asked.
"That's pretty much it. Liu Quan agreed.
Tezuka's ability to summarize is really first-class. She thinks it's also a talent. Not everyone who has heard her very fragmented and unfocused narrative, saying whatever comes to mind, has been able to grasp all the main points in a short period of time and summarize the basic characteristics of Bellatrix.
After that, Tezuka was silent for a few minutes, and then asked another question, as if tentatively.
"What do you think...... Is it possible that the 'tallest tower in Tokyo' she is not referring to the Sky Tree, but to ...... Tokyo Tower?!"
Liu Quan was electrocuted in an instant.
"Y-What did you say?!"
Tezuka replied calmly, "I think that since they are not here, then the place mentioned by the evil girl should be Tokyo Tower." ”
…… East, Kyo, Tower?!
But it wasn't the tallest tower in Tokyo a few years ago...... If you want to "have a poetic showdown", why didn't Bellatrix set the newer and taller Sky Tree as the final showdown location?
Such doubts appeared in Liu Quan's mind in an instant.
Tezuka pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a flash of light flashed across the lenses.
"You just said that the person who sent the threatening letter is a middle-aged lady who used to be in England...... Decades in prison?"
Liu Quan thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with saying this, so he nodded.
"I thought she would have died more than a decade ago...... Well, he's gone. But now it looks like she's alive and well, which is really bad......"
Tezuka nodded, "Maybe it's because of her long-term isolation in a high-security prison that she doesn't have any knowledge of the newly built Tokyo Sky Tree. Tokyo Tower was completed in 1958 and officially opened to the public in 1968...... In any case, she should have had ample opportunity to learn about Tokyo Tower. Maybe she still thinks Tokyo Tower is the tallest building in Tokyo......"
Liu Quan's eyes widened suddenly!
yes, why didn't she think of it!!
Bellatrix was born in 1951 and was sentenced to Azkaban in 1981, and died in 1998, according to the original and the fandom she experienced...... And the Tokyo Sky Tree was only completed in 2012! Even if Bellatrix in this world has survived until now, it is quite possible that with the backward and closed style of the wizarding world, especially the Death Eaters, it is impossible to pay no attention to what TV towers have been built in a certain country in the Muggle world!
Moreover, if this Bellatrix is also a time-traveling woman, then Liu Quan is almost certain that the time of her crossing must be earlier than 2012, when the Sky Tree was completed--so what kind of rhythm is this now?The mission process of this world suddenly became a mystery again, and then I found a senior who crossed the world, and now I have to fight to the death with this big sister? This is completely different from the simple task that the system said at the beginning that the minimum number of people to clear was only 10 people!
However, even if the truth of the mission suddenly reveals its vicious fangs and the difficulty skyrockets to epic levels, she must rise to the occasion.
Just because she's completed the minimum number of people required for the mission, she can't think that since she's cleared the level, she can put other people's lives aside - especially, the other party is not "someone else", but her teammates and companions, people she admires and trusts, and people who are desperate to save in other worlds who are in danger of failing the mission-
…… You have to get to Tokyo Tower right away!
Willow Spring intends to use Phantom Shifter - luckily the game starts by assuming that all of the skills she's acquired throughout the game will carry over to every future world!
"Tezuka-kun, I'm going to Tokyo Tower. You...... If you want to go to Tokyo Tower after calling the police here, please find a safe place to wait at the bottom of the tower. Don't climb the observation deck, the battle is likely to be fierce and dangerous......"
She was about to pull out her wand when her arm was grabbed by Tezuka.
"Nope. I don't know how you're going to get there, but please take me with you. He said firmly and succinctly.
Liu Quan looked at his holding hand in surprise, and his first instinct was to refuse.
"No, I can't. I'm going to use something you've never heard of...... Spells, the kind of spells that are very dangerous for people who have not learned this kind of spell. If you don't control your body well during the teleportation process, it's very likely that you will lose part of your body in some unknown time and space and not be able to find it......"
Tezuka was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by this supernatural and dangerous divine unfolding. But the hand that held Liu Quan's arm did not relax in the slightest.
“…… Please take me with you. I can't sit back and watch you and the traces in danger. If I had to gamble on one of my hands or feet, or a part of my body, I would have to do it. ”
Liu Quan's mouth opened wide.
"No...... No, how are you going to play tennis if you lose your hand or foot...... I can handle it alone, you are taking a useless risk......
Tezuka's brow lowered slightly, and his expression and tone became more serious.
“…… If he were in a dangerous situation, he could be hurt or even lose his life...... if this really happened and we didn't have time to stop it, would you still think that tennis was the most important thing?!"
Liu Quan stared at him in astonishment. After a few moments, she put away her wand, grabbed Tezuka's hand that held her arm with her backhand, and ran towards the elevator door.
"Well, you'd better pray that we'll be lucky enough to catch a taxi at a time like today!!"
……
When they arrived at Tokyo Tower, the tower was already lit up. But Liu Quan always felt a little disobedient, and for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong.
In the end, it was Tezuka who solved her puzzle again.
"It's strange that when you look inside from the glass window, it looks like the lights in the tower aren't turned on today...... "He said with a deep groan as he stood at the door of Tokyo Tower.
And at this time, Tokyo Tower should still be open hours, but the gate is closed, the tower is dark, and a notice is posted in front of the door, solemnly declaring that "there will be special matters in the tower today, so it will be closed in advance, please forgive me for the inconvenience".
"I always feel that the wording of this notice is a bit stiff......" Tezuka said to Yanagizumi after carefully reading the short few lines of statement.
Liu Quan frowned.
"Probably that wicked girl did it. She said in disgust.
"But how are we going to get in now?" Tezuka tried to push the door at the entrance of Tokyo Tower, and sure enough, it was locked. A five-good student like him probably never thought of illegal invasion or forcible destruction.
Liu Quan sighed.
"I have a way. ”
She shook her right arm slightly, and her wand slipped out of her sleeve.
She raised her wand and pointed at the entrance gate of Tokyo Tower, saying, "Alajo Cave open!"
The door opened slowly. Tezuka couldn't help but show a surprised expression for a moment.
"Wow...... This is the 'spell' you learned?!" he asked, in a tone that was a mixture of surprise and appreciation.
Now that the wand had appeared, Yanagizumi held it in his hand and quickly dodged into the gate, then waited for Tezuka to come in and closed the door and returned to its original state.
"Yes, it's a 'door opening charm' that can be opened even if it's locked. ”
"Indeed...... Very good. Tezuka thought for a few seconds before he came up with this bland compliment.
Of course, Liu Quan didn't expect to hear any gorgeous compliments, she shrugged her shoulders and said jokingly, "Actually, as a magic that appeared in front of the champion minister of the national competition for the first time, I also expected to be at least a 'Shadowless' to be cool enough." ”
Tezuka was silent for a few seconds, apparently not getting the point that Yanagizumi was joking about.
"What kind of spell is 'Shadowless', does it have anything to do with tennis?"
Liu Quan was stunned.
