"You've lost, Dio Connor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven if it's you, you can't break this rule, you don't know my real name, you can't remember, the tricks are exhausted, and in the end you can't defeat pure power, and you're just a "beast". ”
"You've lost, Dio Connor, the rules of the game are here, you don't have any way to outsmart me, I've already said it!"
"You lose, don't put on that winner's posture, you will lose everything you have, just like our bet!"
――――
She snapped back to her senses and looked around.
This is the room in Jacqueline's laboratory, why is she here? Yes, she and Yumijian went to the Forbidden City... Yu saw that the sword had disappeared, and Zhu Yuanfang's matter was over. Is it time to go back to London?" she shook her head, got dressed, and glanced at herself in the mirror. There was nothing special, but for some reason, she subconsciously looked in the mirror. She did not have the habit of looking in the mirror, and since she was a child, she lived in poverty, and the mirrors at home were often covered with thick dust. Because of that poor life, she didn't care about her appearance.
But why did she look in the mirror? It wasn't unusual, she pushed open the door and glanced at Jacqueline, who was sitting in front of the computer, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"Good morning, Mistress Dior," Jacqueline nodded to her when she saw Dior, "did you see Ihittab? ”
"Who?!" Dior snapped.
“?”
Jacqueline also didn't seem to understand why Dio was like this, and she didn't even quite understand why Dio asked the question. She thought that Dio had not heard clearly, so she repeated it again:
"Did you see Ihittab? ”
“......”
Dio took a step back and cupped his forehead in reflection. Ihittab ... That's right, it was the android who he ordered Jacqueline to make, and even the name was chosen by himself, but why...
This unreasonable situation happened to her, and she naturally couldn't laugh it off. She immediately ran to her desk, rummaging for something, and asked Jacqueline:
"What day was Ihittab made?"
"Maeda. Jacqueline, who didn't understand what Dio wanted to do, simply answered Dio's question.
"Then I came back late the night before yesterday?" Dior found what he had 'written'.
It was just an A5-sized piece of letterhead, and Dior had thought he would find something useful, but it had nothing but yesterday's date written in the lower right corner. She was stunned for a moment, then put the letter in her pocket. She glanced at Jacqueline, then at the lab furnishings, and finally at the screen in front of Jacqueline, which was full of symbols of unknown meaning. After that, she walked out of the lab without saying a word. Jacqueline stared at her back until Dior's figure disappeared completely, then she turned around and continued typing on the computer with symbols of unknown meaning.
"I don't know the point of doing this," Jacqueline shook her head, "but since it's Dior's order, let's do it." ”
She turned off the screen and began to prepare her coffee beans. She doesn't have any experience with housework, but as a "subhuman", she doesn't need experience to have the confidence to do this simple thing well. Speaking of the memory of the order she received from Dior, it was also a little vague, if it weren't for the fact that she was a "subhuman", maybe she would have forgotten it. Despite the anomaly on her body, she didn't think much about it, because it was Dior's order.
"Don't think, do what I say. ”
And what about Dior? After leaving the laboratory, she ran quickly in the direction of the Forbidden City. She didn't know what was going on, but someone must know.
That's not people, to be exact.
"Huh, Dior?"
Su Xiang, who was sitting in the middle of the casino, saw the people who came in, her face suddenly stiffened, she gave instructions to the people around her, and immediately dragged her big tail to the backstage. But before he could take two steps, his furry tail was immediately grabbed by Dior.
"Babble! indecent!!" the fox immediately shouted, and the two blonde girls immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the casino, especially one of the 'humans' who was pulling the tail of the other fox demon.
This situation is rare for the onlookers, not to mention Su Xiang's god-like identity, many people present have lost their bets against her. There was another guy who looked like a foreigner and grabbed the tail of the fox demon, although both of them were women, it was a bit strange that such an indecent thing had not been blasted out by the guards.
"What kind of indecent manners, are you guys ready to run away when they see me?" It seems that something is indeed wrong," Dio sneered, then let go of the hand holding Su Xiang's tail, stopped her waist, pulled her into the backstage, and whispered against her cheek, "Hey, half-demon, if I shake out your identity as a half-demon now, will this guy come to trouble you again?" It's really unfortunate that someone like me knows this secret." ”
"Wait, I don't know anything! Your business has nothing to do with me!" Su Xiang desperately tried to break free from Dior's 'embrace', but she was only a half-demon, and her physical fitness was far inferior to these monsters.
"I don't know? You were watching from the sidelines, motionless. Dio's eyes narrowed.
"Really... My memory of that day is until the Yumi Sword disappeared," Su Xiang shook his head desperately, "I remember that the Yumi Sword stabbed you through with a sword, and then she suddenly disappeared with that sword." I don't remember what happened after that... If you don't remember either, then I certainly don't either. Think about it, Dior, I don't remember what happened at that time, doesn't that mean that the other party has the ability to remember and soul?"
"Not only that, but I forgot about yesterday," Dior narrowed his eyes, "maybe it affected you as well, do you remember what you did yesterday?"
"Uh... Should... Probably... Maybe it's... Forget," Su Xiang immediately calmed down when he heard this, and then frowned, "I don't remember, it's too strange." But I don't feel it at all, maybe something important happened, but I don't remember it at all, but the bill for yesterday's casino business was indeed recorded, I went to ask Xiao Er, and he also said that he couldn't remember it clearly. ”
"yes, something must have happened at that time. ”
"But you found out about this again?" Su Xiang was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't you also be able to remember?"
"This," Dior took out of his pocket the letterhead, "people's memories are very ambiguous, and it is very possible to temporarily 'not remember' and 'not remember'. I usually write down something important and burn it, I rarely write anything, but as long as I write it down, I am very impressed. Taking advantage of this, I usually take a few different clicks on a different piece of paper, and then use the shape of the paper to recall some of the things that were recorded at the time. Isn't there a date written on the bottom right corner of this paper? It happened to be yesterday, but I still can't remember what happened yesterday. ”
Absolutely anomalous. Su Xiang also understood the seriousness of the matter, she suddenly raised her head and said:
"When you say that, I also remember, Dior, didn't Ah Zi say that the willow tree was a monster? Maybe the tree remembers this?"
“... Now it seems that there is only one trip left. Dio nodded, putting away the letterhead.
With that, Dio let go of his hand and turned away. Su Xiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after him.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you. ”
"?" Dior frowned, "Why? In my opinion, you wouldn't do such a dangerous thing with me, you're just a half-demon without any power, and the other party may be the same as Yumi Sword, a terrible youkai... Wait a minute. Zhu Yuanfang... Awesome youkai... Yes, it's that guy! Su Xiang, do you remember? I showed you and Yu Jianjian the picture..."
"Zhu Xia!" Su Xiang clapped his hands.
"yes, it's that guy... I remember the name was... Yes, I made a bet with that guy that before next week, if I can find her real name, it will be my victory," Dio exhaled, "She doesn't know what ability to use to make us, the people of the Ming Empire, forget what happened a few days ago, and will gradually forget, no one remembers what happened a few days ago." ”
“... Is it really forgetful?" Su Xiang pondered, "Since you and I can remember the events of that time as we do now, why can't we remember yesterday's events?" I asked Xiao Er what happened yesterday, and he didn't know anything. Obviously, the bill was recorded by himself. ”
“!”
"I don't think it's for us to forget about it. You Guang and your game set a deadline, ostensibly to give you some time to find her real name and to decide the winner. But what if she had a way to make that period shorter? In that case, you wouldn't have enough time to find her real name... It's not that we have forgotten what happened yesterday, it's that everything yesterday was "skipped"!"
