Chapter 39: The Cause of the Incident (I)
Zhou Yuan can only know one thing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I don't know why, anyway, Natsuki died again, on the way to the village, or on the way back, or in the village - anyway, he didn't come back.
Then, Death Returns is activated.
"I said, this is really an RPG world...... If you don't file it with a shake of your hand, maybe you can go back to two or three months?"
Zhou Yuan shrugged as he joked. It's not clear when the specific rollback will be, but in short, it should be between Zhou Yuan retrieving his ability and coming to this world. Because Zhou Yuan and Rozval did not exist in this world before this, it is only now that the two have been "backtracked".
"Anyway, let's go back to the mansion first......"
What happened still has to ask Natsuki Pleiades. Otherwise, with this posture of infinite death, Zhou Yuan would not have had a chance to meet with Rentaro Okabe to discuss things seriously.
"Do you know how he died this time?"
It's still the same as before, just pull Caiyue Pleiades directly to the corner and ask. Rozval knew Zhou Yuan's identity, and such an act would not arouse any suspicion.
“…… I don't know," Caiyue shook her head, "It's just that when I walked back, I suddenly felt uncomfortable...... Then vomited, and then convulsed......"
Zhou Yuan pulled Athena No. 2 out of the mask and swept it at Caiyue's body.
"Not the plague...... It's not any other disease," Zhou Yuan said, "at least you're still healthy...... Did you get an acute illness somewhere?"
“…… Can I get an acute illness from being bitten by a dog?"
Natsuki asked.
"Probably not, even if there is an infection, the virus itself that kills in a few hours cannot lodge in animals......
No matter what kind of disease, there is an incubation period and an outbreak period. According to Cai Yueyue, the incubation period is about four or five hours, and the outbreak period is only a few minutes before it can kill - if the effect of such a ferocious virus is on a dog, the poor puppy should die before it is contaminated and the pathogen reaches a density that can infect people.
"I said, maybe it's not a disease," Zhou Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility, "Don't forget that this is a magical world...... Something less scientific is possible. ”
"Something less scientific......?"
"Hmm...... It's possible to have a curse from a spellor, a poison from an alchemist, or something like Gu, right?" Zhou Yuan muttered, "There are many things that can cause this. ”
“…… Don't scare me. ”
Caiyue made a scared look—but in fact, she wasn't that scared, which made Zhou Yuan sigh. This guy has a reduced level of fear of death in general...... Although after reading the file, there is a sense of loneliness that only one person in the world knows, but that's it.
"Anyway, what should I do? Now that I have regained my ability, I can protect you at any time, should I secretly observe you first, and you find the murderer by dying once, or will I protect you and prevent you from dying?"
There are two methods, the first can catch the murderer as soon as possible but requires Natsuki to die again, and the second is a little more complicated, but there is no need to experience the return of death. In terms of actual time, the time required by the two should be about the same.
"I ......"
Natsuki was silent.
"So...... In fact, which problem you choose is not a very serious matter...... It's just a matter of determining my standard of action, but if you go back once, things will be dealt with in a higher way, and if you don't, the investigation will be a little faster, but maybe the time will not be clean enough. ”
One is to use Caiyue Pleiades to die once in exchange for the efficiency of the whole thing in the eyes of others, so as not to have an expanded impact, and the other is to exchange Zhou Yuan's protection for faster capture of the real culprit, as well as actual efficiency.
After all, relative time is not equal to absolute time - to some extent, Zhou Yuan prefers the second option, although the second option may produce some unstable situations, but the point is that the efficiency is high enough to leave an unnecessary period of time.
“…… Is it okay to leave me alone for a while...... I'll get back to you later. ”
Cai Yue said so, Zhou Yuan didn't force him, and just returned to the room. Anyway, it will be the afternoon of the next day that Caiyue will go out to purchase, which is irrelevant, as long as you wait until that time, Caiyue will make her own decision.
It's just that Zhou Yuan was a little bored after returning to the room, and he didn't know what to do. Zhou Yuan, who had retrieved the ability, could no longer enjoy a comfortable sleep, as long as he closed his eyes, he still saw the shattered mental image world and the nine temples.
"Hey, island-dwelling ghost...... You're there, aren't you?"
Zhou Yuan asked.
“…… Of course. ”
After a long time, I wore a concise and even a boring voice.
"Island-dwelling ghost...... What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong...... How long have you been imprisoned, how long have I been in the dark, unable to speak, unable to move, very boring!"
The island-dwelling ghost almost used all his strength and roared loudly at Zhou Yuan.
“…… I'm sorry. ”
Zhou Yuan lowered his head and sighed. Although it is not Zhou Yuan's mistake, it ......
"Why did I apologize when I didn't get along! Although the two of us are actually one person, we are still enemies, right?"
Zhou Yuan shouted at the outlying island ghost.
“…… Who's stupid enough to be an enemy of themselves, and besides, I'm not an enemy in a sense!"
"Since it's your own person, why should I comfort you?"
"Sister, sister, I heard something terrible when I first came in. ”
"Remrem, the guest seems to be arguing with himself. ”
Repeat once...... Zhou Yuan and the outlying island ghost are essentially the same person, and they both speak with one mouth - and Zhou Yuan has let go of the permission of the outlying island ghost before.
Thereupon......
"Sister Sister ......"
"Needless to say, I'm being taken for a psychopath, right?"
Zhou Yuan yelled at the maid sisters with self-deprecation.
"Poof. ”
The island ghost smiled with Zhou Yuan's mouth.
"Shut up!"
Zhou Yuan directly closed the permission of the outlying island ghosts. But Zhou Yuan looked at Ram and Rem at the way he looked...... Zhou Yuan suddenly wanted to kill Caiyue Pleiades again.
Death is just a return anyway.
However, when the two maids left, Rem gave Zhou Yuan a special look. After Zhou Yuan thought about it, he looked at his ghost hand and thought thoughtfully.
