Chapter 34: Labmen (Part II)
After all, Zhou Yuan is still the protagonist of this world - so Yakumo Zi is very sensible and did not kill Zhou Yuan.
However, it is clear that this matter can also be understood in reverse: that is, to the extent that it is enough not to die.
After that day, Zhou Yuan, who found out how he should act, and after asking Yakumo Zi and getting the consent of the other party, finally succeeded in unraveling this mental world. Immediately after, according to eyewitness Hong Misuzu, someone was directly sucked away by a gap...... This incident even made headlines in the news.
After all, Gensokyo is nothing serious, and this is a rare report on a real event.
It took three days for Zhou Yuan to be released from the gap. It is said that when he first came out, Zhou Yuan's eyes were blank, his whole body was trembling, and his clothes were in tatters...... It took a long time to come back to my senses.
One can imagine what kind of treatment he received, that was to the extent that the other people in the Red Devil Pavilion who originally planned to teach Zhou Yuan a lesson couldn't lift their energy, and even couldn't help but sympathize with him......
However, it is also because of Yakumo Purple that he has found a direction.
Blackpaw has taken extremely strict precautions against the purple statue and the box containing the purple statue, and placed them separately, but only a few of them are guarded, and the rest are randomly piled aside like the statue of "Musou Sword Queen-Fiona" that was sold by Blackpaw before, and there is one in the laboratory, which seems to be doing some research.
So...... Is there anything special about those statues?
In short, Blackclaw's purpose in collecting this thing is obviously different from Zhou Yuan's. Zhou Yuan was there to collect them, but Blackclaw was only interested in a few of them.
However, the statue of the Peerless Sword Lady can indeed be used. Zhou Yuan's goal this time was to find someone on the Valoran continent - maybe the time keeper Kieran, maybe the time assassin Ike. In short, one of these individuals should have the ability to make devices that span relative time.
This doesn't even require the intervention of the world's will to solve this matter - of course, another reason is that the sculptures in Fuyuki City are too dynamic and are isolated by a blue light curtain.
After being isolated by the blue light curtain that was dedicated to Zhou Yuan, even Yakumo Zi couldn't open the gap - it seemed that it was a material that could block the space itself, but if the thing that made the blue light curtain was removed first, it would sound an alarm.
Moreover, at present, in order to maintain the shaky Hakurei Great Enchantment, most of Yakumo's abilities are left in Gensokyo, and there is no way to leave Gensokyo. Therefore, in the case that this strength is limited and the distance is too far, Yakumo Purple can only use the gap to get a statue to put outside.
Zhou Yuan chose the statue of the peerless sword girl. Of course, Zhou Yuan also paid the price for this - Yakumo Zi didn't help unconditionally, or shouldn't have helped unconditionally, after all, the two of them were not related, and they did it to help him solve his mental problems in order to keep Gensukyo. Or if he hadn't been deceived by someone at the beginning, Yayun Zi might not have allowed Zhou Yuan to come in......
And the reward that Yakumo asked for was the Philosopher's Stone. Obviously, there aren't many Rentaro Okabe in the future, and it's always used in rotation during experiments.
The only known way to make the Philosopher's Stone is to use the souls of living people to form a formation, and it requires a large number of human pillars and an instantaneous emotional outburst.
Well...... To put it simply, it is something made of human life, and the more human lives are piled up, the higher the quality, so you can imagine how rare the Sage's Stone is.
Rentaro Okabe's one is clearly an inferior product. I don't know how I got it, but the Philosopher's Stone that Rentaro Okabe cultivated is a red liquid that is relatively light compared to burgundy—although there may be reasons for long-term use, this is not the case with high-quality Philosopher's Stone.
After all, it's something that needs to be piled up with life.
Although I don't know what the use of Yakumo Purple wants the Sage Stone - the sage of the Sage Stone and the sage of the Great Sage of the Monster are obviously not compatible, but Zhou Yuan still handed over the test tube to Yakumo Zi.
Of course, the little Sage Stone that hung from the wall of the container Zhou Yuan was still in his hand.
Then what was exchanged for was the statue that Zhou Yuan was holding in his hand now.
"Gone, Artoria. ”
After another day or so of preparations, Zhou Yuan finally planned to leave.
Zhou Yuan, the stunt of Bajiquan, hadn't learned any of them, so Hong Meiling copied out the parts that Zhou Yuan needed to practice in the back overnight. Zhou Yuan took the thread-bound book bound by Hongmeiling, and then snapped his fingers, and the flames of the Flame Carlo began to burn brightly, swallowing Zhou Yuan and Artoria who was leaning on Zhou Yuan's side.
Goal: Find the Time Assassin Ike or Time Guardian Kiran, find a way to cross relative time, and with the help of this method, travel to the future world to find the future Rentaro Okabe.
"This is ......"
It looks like a girl's boudoir, and it looks like Fiona was staying in her room when Zhou Yuan lit the sculpture. The quilts were neatly folded, and it was daylight outside—which meant that at least nothing nice was happening.
It's a castle, but there's no one. Presumably because Fiona's father was a nobleman, Fiona's current residence is this kind of place - but it is clear that Fiona is no longer a nobleman after Fiona's father cheated in a duel.
There was not even a single servant in the whole castle, and the farmland outside was not taken care of, making the castle almost like a haunted house.
When it comes time to go back in the end, I'm going to send Fiona back here. So, it's good to get here at the end, and it's better to go first.
At the very least, you should first find a place where people gather, buy a map and check the geography of the whole world, and so on. For example, Ike is from the slums of Zaun - how do you find Ike without knowing where Zaun is?
It's clear that it can't be done. The other thing is......
Zhou Yuan looked at Artoria's medieval armor, and then at the tank top and combat trousers he was wearing on his body.
This outfit is really a little out of this world, and some are too abrupt...... Forget about Artoria, that suit of armor is not too outdated, and Zhou Yuan feels that he has to change into a corresponding set of clothes.
