Chapter 22: The Unexpected (Part II)
Whether it's useful or not, in short, put it on first - this is Zhou Yuan's current thinking.
So, it's unexpected.
Zhou Yuan stood in front of the wall, looking at the huge and complex device behind the teleportation device. This thing is a whole, covered by a translucent thing - the thing that covers this device is supposed to be a space isolator, but the dislocation space Zhou Yuan knows how to enter, and can use the Kaija of the Afterimage to forcibly break it.
Unlike the Remnant of Kaija's isotopic space, this heterogeneous space can't be touched with a weapon against Zhou Yuan. Therefore, Zhou Yuan can also get in.
This device will definitely not be able to be taken away, and if it is removed, Zhou Yuan will not be able to go back; However, Zhou Yuan felt that he still needed to record it.
Otherwise, I don't know how this thing is made.
Break through the space blockade and enter. Then Zhou Yuan was surprised to find that in this space, these parts were separated separately - Rentaro Okabe cleverly used the different rules caused by the change of dimensions, and then after disassembling these parts and placing them in this space, the whole equipment was reorganized in another space with another rule.
Then, an additional layer of barrier was added as protection.
"Athena II...... Scan the structure of the device," Zhou Yuan ordered, looking at the core of the device, "except for ...... Outside of that core. ”
Half of the core was red Philosopher's Stone, and the other half was black Evil of the World, made of the same material used in the purple sculpture to hold the glass ball in a clasp that could be attached, and it was attached to each end of the glass ball. There was no barrier or anything separating the two liquids, but they were pushed away like magnets at the same pole, and Zhou Yuan couldn't even find a layer of vacuum without careful observation.
"It's ......"
"The program is recorded."
This device does not have any external energy supply, so the combination of the Philosopher's Stone as the core and the evil of this world should be used as a battery to provide energy, and of course, perhaps part of the content of the breaking space is also controlled by this core.
The entire core is densely connected with various wires and electrodes, so it is impossible to extract a copy of the core. Not to mention that there is no room to start, even if you take a little bit of it, it will probably malfunction due to the different position of the electrode link or the change in the density of the liquid - so Zhou Yuan could only watch with a little regret as the red Philosopher's Stone disappeared from his sight, and then decisively turned on his ability to return to another world, squatting on the teleportation device and directly pressing the start button.
As a result, when Zhou Yuan came back, he found that it was not only Marisa, but Artoria was also standing at the entrance of the Earth Spirit Temple, but Gu Ming Dijue was gone.
Zhou Yuan: "...... Saber, when did you come back? Haven't you been sent by me to another world where I am? ”
"What do you say?" Artoria was surprised, "Didn't you send me here?" ”
Zhou Yuan: "...... What? ”
What's going on? Wait, if you count it this way, the original Saber should have been sent to another world by me, but now it's back, which means that reality and memory have deviated......
Could it be that the world line here has also changed along with the collapse of the laboratory? In this way, the world here is also ...... Is it time to go?
Not. In fact, Zhou Yuan didn't see any hints that he was about to set off as soon as he saw it, and the cultivation of Qi had not yet been completed, but Artoria did come here.
"Artoria...... I'm sorry, the world line seems to have changed," Zhou Yuan covered his head, "Can you help me tell me about the previous incident......"
With Artoria's narration, Zhou Yuan roughly understood what was going on.
First, Blackpaw made key advances in Rintaro Okabe's lab and began experimenting with replicating the purple statue - this is what happened just now in absolute time and at some unknown point in relative time; Second, the ancient love has come back or has never disappeared in this world, so this place has become an anomaly that Marisa has heard about, and the ancient love has not come; Third, Zhou Yuan lives in the Red Devil Pavilion, while Artoria temporarily lives at the shrine where Sanae in the East Wind Valley is located.
These are related things. If it is irrelevant, it is that the black claws on this world line made a move to destroy the forbidden area of chaos a month ago; The place with the highest mortality rate in the world has also become history. In conclusion, the world line seems to be changing in a rather bad direction. If this continues...... Maybe it's going to be a bad future.
"Damn, I wasn't in this world at the time...... Otherwise, it would be good to at least know the value of the rate of change of the world line," Zhou Yuan sighed, "It's like now......"
But he didn't receive a way to leave, and he didn't get a notice from Rentaro Okabe, so Zhou Yuan had to continue to cultivate here; Anyway, Black Claw definitely didn't dare to invade here, the average combat level here has reached the level of the Third World, and according to Kazan's estimate, the witch is about this level, or a little higher.
But it shouldn't reach the level of the second world level like Yakumo Murasaki. In addition, Zhou Yuan himself belonged to the fifth world level of combat power, most of the members of Overwatch were at the sixth world level, and only a few were between the sixth and fifth levels.
Artoria is also between the fifth and sixth levels - Artoria's world, like the previous Gensokyo world, is also a special world.
In the afternoon, news came that Yakumo Purple had lifted the ban on talking about the outside world. However, this was two months ago - the relative and absolute time of the world line is always uncomfortable. However, the lifting of the ban in this regard also means that the world line has lost control - the previous Gensokyo ban was probably to not change the world line, but now the world line has obviously changed to a large extent.
So, with the mentality of "it won't be worse anyway", Gensokyo lifted the ban...... There have been fewer mutations as a result.
"Wenwen Shimbun, Shooting Pill Wen is here! Thanks both! ”
When Zhou Yuan was chatting with Artoria, a photo that looked infinitely similar to a kissing angle was captured by Shotimaru, and only then did Zhou Yuan and Artoria notice the trace of Shotimaru.
"Stop!"
Zhou Yuan chased without hesitation, and Shotmaru Wen turned around and ran without hesitation.
