It was learned from Sojuro that Lycia's residence was at the northern end of Kyoto, which happened to be within the surveillance range of the keel.

Mu Kaede and Sakuruma came to the valley that Sojuro had said, and there were almost no creatures around, and it seemed that only the sound of trees and the wind was quiet. Not far from this valley sat a small cottage, and from a distance she saw Lycia standing at the window on the second floor, and she seemed to know that Sakuruma would be here.

Since this area is outside the circle of obsidian, it is surrounded by a considerable number of faint black elements, which have become a natural protective layer, and all the electrical appliances in that house have undergone special modifications, which will only emit ultra-low energy.

"Are you feeling better?" Seeing the arrival of the two, Lycia was a little flustered and jumped out of the room.

"Sort of. Sakurama didn't have time to change her clothes, so she came here in a hospital gown.

"Come in, I'll have Kasumi prepare refreshments. ”

"Xia?" Mu Fengye asked.

"It's the doppelganger you brought back that day, her name is Kasumi, because she was chased and killed by 'her' to come here along the loophole in the space-time layer, that child is very kind, she is very grateful to you for taking her in. Lycia said as she walked to the villa.

The decoration in the house is very special, the exterior is clearly European style, I didn't expect the interior to retain such an antique and antique style, the wooden floor gives people a very intimate feeling, the bright sunlight just shines from the courtyard on the first floor into the living room, living in this kind of place is really a good enjoyment.

"Where's Xia? isn't she?" Mu Fengye looked around, but didn't find the girl's figure.

"She's gone to the back mountain, and the clone shouldn't be coming back lately. Lycia sat down on her knees, filling the cups on the table with her teapot.

"That doppelganger ......"

"I know. Lycia interrupted Sakuruma and took the initiative to reply, "I'm sorry, I hid something about her from you, actually...... I've known her for a long time, and it's been hundreds of millions of years. ”

"Who the hell is she?"

"Necromana. ”

"What?" Sakurama asked, skeptically.

"It's a tricky thing to explain, and it has to go back hundreds of millions of years. Lycia picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said softly: "After the obsidian disappeared, its fragments turned into clones, and the clones were left in different worlds and constrained by different orders. After hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of years, because of the continuous death and rebirth, the clones are also constantly evolving. And in that process, the clones who have evolved to a certain level have supreme power, and they can easily create the space-time layer and things that do not exist in their own world, so that new worlds are constantly being created. ”

"The Heavenly World I am in, and the Yellow Spring, where the Corpse Demon Na is located, are the two most basic dimensions. All dead creatures are sent to a world that will never be filled, and it is this kind of world that becomes the two extremes. Humanity hopes to go to heaven after death, because it is the warmest and most harmonious of all dimensions, and there will never be a catastrophe. All the creatures that die there will have the same form, which is the spirit. ”

"Spirits can be covered, and they can be covered over anything. Just like when the ghosts of that day were attached to the body of the police detective, even the doppelganger, if there is no consciousness, will be possessed by these spirits. ”

"When I learned about the existence of the corpse, I wanted to destroy the world she was in, but I found that I couldn't, so I could only pester her and follow her to the world she was going to, and I must not let her cause chaos and cause death in other dimensions. ”

"My fight with her has been going on for tens of millions of years, but neither can really kill the other. Until that day, Corpse Demon Na won a battle, but instead of destroying my body, she brought it back to the Yellow Springs, using that body to give it a new soul. I don't know what happened that day, but when I rushed to Huangquan again, I found that a large hole had been broken in the space-time layer there, and a new dimension had been created. ”

"And the one who created that dimension was my corpse that was given a new soul. ”

Hearing this, Mu Fengye and Sakuruma were shocked, they couldn't believe that guy with such great power turned out to be Lycia's former corpse!

"In that case, you should know best what to do with her, right?"

Lycia shook her head: "Since the moment she was born, she has a power that surpasses me and Corpse Demona, and the limit of that power surpasses the order of the clones, far above a new realm. She can create worlds, knows all things, and knows how to destroy a world. In that world, she had the most cutting-edge technology, which even human development could not match in a lifetime. ”

"Remember the missiles that Miss Shimizu transferred that day?" Lycia continued, "Four missiles were transferred by Miss Shimizu to a black hole ten billion light-years away using a portal, and those missiles blew up the black hole, causing the collapse of a corner of the universe and the space-time layer being blown through a hole. However, it is relatively far away, and even if creatures from other worlds come here, it is impossible to know the location of the earth without an accurate location. ”

"How do you know this?"

"If the doppelgangers reach a certain level of ability to connect to all corners of the world, they know everything that is happening in their own world, and these things are also told to me by mercy on the phone. ”

"The missile that blew up the black hole...... If she really detonated it in Yokohama that day, I'm afraid we wouldn't exist, right?" Mu Feng said fearfully.

"Lycia, do you know how to destroy her?" Sakuruma saw a hint of fear in Lycia's pupils for a moment, and she must have already had an answer to this question.

Lycia was silent for a long time, when the wall clock in the corridor rang a few times, she spoke: "Her body is mine, there are two steps to destroy her, if you can do the first step, then the second step will be very simple." ”

"That is, to erase my existence. ”

"This kind of thing ......"

Lycia forced out a smile and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've lived for so long anyway, and I will be resurrected every time I want to die." I'm tired and don't want to go through this kind of reincarnation anymore, but ......"

"You still want to get rid of the corpse, right?"

"Well, if I could see her destroyed, I wouldn't have any need to exist, after all, I existed to stop her. ”

"Is there any other way?" Sakuruma asked this question with some regret, no matter how long or short life is, everyone with a mind hesitates in the face of the fear of death, and Lycia is no exception.

"No, the doppelganger of destruction is the sin of me and Necromana, and I will be responsible for it. ”

The sun was fading, and a few crows flew over the trees, and the slanting sun shone on the stone pond in the courtyard, and the water surface was glowing with golden ripples.

"Sister Lycia, I'm back. ”

"Are you happy to play outside?" asked Lycia with a reluctant smile looking at Kasumi, who was sitting at the doorway with her shoes off.

"Well, it's much prettier than my world. Kasumi stood up and saw Sakuruma and Mu Fengye sitting at the table, "Is Kasumi's dim sum delicious?" ”

"Well, it's delicious. Sakurama nodded in response.

"What is the world like over there?" Mu Fengye was a little curious, there were so many worlds in places he couldn't see, what kind of posture did they exist?

Kasumi sat down beside Lycia and recalled, "Everything over there is transparent, and even if you look closely, you can only see a blue outline. The people there hardly go out, they don't have any language, and the whole world doesn't have any noise, as if the slightest sound would bring disaster. ”

"How can you stay in that kind of place? Mu Fengye said casually.

"Because there's war there. Kasumi's face suddenly became gloomy, "Everyone is surviving for the war, they don't speak, they don't communicate with each other, and they don't even make any superfluous movements. It's all about preserving strength for the next war, and if the smoke clears one day, that world and I won't exist. ”

"How does a group of transparent people fight?"

"Transparency is just to conserve physical strength, and on the battlefield, they will reveal their true form and fight with all their might. As long as the victorious side is rewarded, there will be a reward from God, and in order to get a reward, there will be war. ”

"God's reward?"

Kasumi pinched a piece of snack on her plate and said, "Food, water, air, and even time, there are too many God's rewards to count, but each one is crucial. Those who fight can live, those who lose can only die, and we will always live under God's control. ”

"On that day, the doppelganger came, she killed the gods, destroyed half the world, and chased me to this world. In fact, I am very grateful that she was able to bring an end to that kind of world, to end the weak place that I couldn't change. ”

Sakuruma suddenly remembered what happened in Mexico City not long ago, and leaned over and asked, "Kasumi, you helped me block the doppelganger's missile that day, right? How did you do it?" ”

"It's this. Kasumi suddenly turned her back and took off her top, revealing the black tattoo on her back.

"This is ......" Mu Fengye suddenly became serious.

"I used its power to reduce the destructiveness of the missile to 0.01 percent, so it didn't hurt you. ”

"Is it the ability of the tattoo?" Mu Fengye asked eagerly, and judging from Lycia's expression, even she didn't know about this kind of thing, only Xia knew the real use of the tattoo for the time being!
