The metal mechanical monster's eyes bulged and it staggered back a few steps. As if he had seen a monster, he kept wailing.

"Ahh

"No, no, she's dead!"

Half of its face was tattered, a mixture of pain and joy, and the sound of maniacal laughter resounded throughout the castle once again.

Twilight took the opportunity to raise the blade, and the bandages floated in the wind, summoning countless enchantments, sealing them and blocking them.

"She's dead?"

Twilight looked at it with wide eyes, incredulous.

The gears on its body flew out, extremely sharp, spinning in the air.

One by one, they flew towards Twilight, "Bang-bang-"

The barrier shattered, and it couldn't stop the high-speed rotating gears at all.

"Sue me, you're not her."

Its expression became even more ferocious, and Twilight raised its blade to block one after another, the collision of steel and steel, "Pong Pong—"

Countless sparks burst out.

Twilight was ruthless in her heart, not just blocking, but swinging her entanglement blade and attacking forward.

"I have no idea who you're talking about."

Inexplicable legends, inexplicable memories, inexplicable "she"

Twilight is more and more amazed at what the hell is going on, she hasn't set foot here in seventeen years.

The half-human-faced mechanical monster lowered its sad and sad face, suddenly raised its head, and exclaimed, "You're not her, how can you have a healing technique?" ”

Twilight sluggished for half a minute, the flying gears brushing the tip of her nose, nearly slicing in half.

And her hair was shaved off.

"What do you mean she looks like?"

The flying gears stagnate in the air, and Twilight gasps for breath, with little body left on her body, and if she continues to fight, she will only lose herself.

"I don't remember ......"

The sound of flustered breathing tried to hide something, and its eyes rolled and turned with sadness.

It suddenly looked up, "Then you must know her, right?" ”

Joy and excitement that cannot be refused.

Twilight didn't answer it, she now felt that even talking was a waste of her body, she just wanted to get out of this hellish place.

It stood in the distance, pitiful, looking at Twilight with a pleading gaze, "If you're willing to listen to me finish telling this story, I'll tell you to go." ”

Twilight nodded, but she didn't believe that the half-human-faced monster in front of her would know the exit.

She just wanted to extend her break.

She gasped and watched the other man's every move.

When it gets a response from Twilight, "She used to be my master, and she has the most powerful healing ability." And after she disappeared, I began to be imprisoned here. The ghost burning sea can't destroy my body, I can't find her, my memories will disappear, so I hide here and use hallucinations to remind myself of her over and over again. ”

Its dim eyes suddenly flickered, "Lu Ze, it's the most important person in your heart." ”

Twilight was taken aback, she didn't expect that the most important person in her heart was Shikazawa.

Twilight thought for a long time, "Are you the deacon of that person you used to be?" ”

It nodded, "It's a pity...... I can't even remember what she looked like. ”

Twilight realized that the place she was standing had returned to its original state, and the twelve hourglasses were still there, and half of their sand had been missed.

Twilight didn't know what exactly was going on, but as she watched the sand go by, she looked up and looked at the hour, minute, and second hands on the dome, halfway through the circle.

Twilight had a vague sense in her heart that she must have something to do with her, and the only thing missing was evidence.

Twilight looked up, "What the hell is this place?" ”

The mechanical monster suddenly realized something, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound, and all the hourglasses flipped over again.

"It's called adversity, and it's connected to the Ghost Sea. I escaped from the ghost burning sea and hid here. The twelve hourglasses here control the flow of time here, and can be reversed against the current. If you don't show healing, you'll be killed several times by the people you love the most, and you'll die of a breakdown. ”

Its strange voice spoke extremely softly, but the last two sentences were terrifying.

Twilight's heart was beating when she heard this, and the hairs on her body suddenly stood up, and finally, she gasped, as if she had been stabbed in the abdomen by the gentle Shikazawa.

"You still have flaws in such an illusion."

The mechanical monster turned its head and let out a "click, click, click—"

The sound of the gears turning, "How could it be, that's not what you want most?" ”

Twilight shook her head, what she wanted most was different from reality after all, and the illusion of confusion only existed in her dreams, not reality.

She didn't puncture the dreams of this little monster, and instead of suffering for the rest of her life, it was better to leave some memories.

"You, after all, are not him."

A word woke up the mechanical monster, and its head slammed into the "Click, Click—"

Standing up again, he muttered: "You, after all, it's not her ......"

After repeating it N times, half of its face burst into laughter again.

Twilight finally asked, "What else does this place connect to besides the Ghost Burning Sea?" ”

The mechanical monster pondered for a long time, "The dungeon, this is just one of the punishments. ”

The dungeon keeps knocking in my mind, and by coincidence I still came here, the ghost burned the sea, and adversity were all connected to the dungeon.

Twilight remembered that she had stopped her in the Ghost Burning Sea, and that he had inadvertently led her into the dungeon, and Twilight couldn't figure it out.

In the next second, the mechanical monster led her to open the only passage.

The wall in front of Twilight slowly opened, and Twilight stepped on it, just as she was about to turn around and thank you, only to see the mechanical monster put some of its gears in place.

Twilight then noticed what was being placed in the empty space on the left wall.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, adversity, there is no way out.

Twilight stepped into the passage behind the wall, only to hear a loud bang behind her.

"Click, click, click—"

Immediately after that, "snap-"

Twilight turns around, and the gears on the wall fade like watermarks before disappearing.

A qiē returned to zero in this loud noise, and returned to calm.

Twilight watched its body slowly disappear, startled, and was about to step back.

I only heard the mechanical monster smile and said: "Even if you are not her, it has relieved me of more than ten years of loneliness, and I can't live in an illusion." If you don't get out, you will never get out. ”

A desperate smile appeared on the crippled face of the mechanical monster.

Twilight gritted her teeth and rushed out, a touch of emotion in her heart.

More than ten years of loneliness, how many years of waiting.

But another moment flashed in my mind, more than ten years, seventeen years?

When Twilight turns around, the door is "clicking"

It was closed tightly, leaving not even a single gap.

Twilight's mouth moved, and finally, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

With a few words and not too many ups and downs, Twilight finally felt that this ending was the best ending.

Cruelty may be, but it is the only relief.

…… Unbeknownst to Twilight, Shikazawa was looking for her everywhere, and Twilight disappeared for two days.

No one knows where she went, no contact.

Prior to this, Lu Ze had just gone through a life-and-death escape.

Two days ago, Shikazawa returned to the real world, and he has been curious about Twilight's true identity.

The only clue is broken in Yi Yue.

He wants to find out Twilight's biological father, Dr. Mo.

All the clues show that Twilight lived in Otaku Academy before she was seventeen years old, and her memories have not awakened.

There are only fragments, and the year of the composition of that necklace is enough to shock Shikazawa for a long time.

He had thought that after the showdown between Izuki and Twilight, her true identity would be revealed, but now she was in a dead end.

Shikazawa sat in the secret base, and there was a floor-to-ceiling lamp in the dimly lit room, and the light shrouded in front of his computer desk.

The modern design is a huge contrast to the game world, and Shikazawa's eyes are always on the screen.

Watermark-like characters kept appearing in front of him, and Shikazawa's fingers slidied.

Dr. Mo's disappearance should cause a huge repercussions, or news, and there is very little news about him.

Could it be that Senluo Technology kidnapped Dr. Mo?

This speculation was quickly overturned by Shikazawa.

If Dr. Mo is kidnapped, there is no need to spy on Twilight.

Lu Ze finally made an assumption that if Dr. Mo did not go missing, Twilight would become a bargaining chip to threaten Dr. Mo, and then Senluo Technology would have a reason to spy on Twilight.

This bold assumption fits the clues left now.

Lu Ze called up Dr. Mo's previous scientific research records, and won awards again and again.

The most crucial piece of information appeared on the screen, Dr. Mo once proposed the "human consciousness hypothesis." ”

After this hypothesis was proposed, he disappeared into thin air, and there were no further reports.

Lu Ze will not give up any clue, in his eyes, any casual news will become a crucial clue.

Shikazawa saw this "human consciousness hypothesis"

There was a hint of surprise.

Seventeen years ago, such a hypothesis would have caused a huge sensation.

And the meaning he contains is undoubtedly the same as the concept of a high-level NPC goddess in "Annai Continent".

Senluo Technology is continuing Dr. Mo's philosophy.

When Shikazawa deduced this clue, a sly gaze flashed in his eyes, and his thin lips curved in an arc.

Even though he hasn't found out his true background yet, it gives him a new clue.

Yiyue has been lurking in Senluo Technology for many years, and has not yet found Dr. Mo.

But this clue can be launched, Dr. Mo's previous scientific research is about human consciousness, artificial intelligence.

Yi Yue also said that Senluo Technology has completely mastered the control of "Annai Continent", imprisoning all consciousness in the virtual world.

And the bodies of some important people were hidden by them in unknown places.

In the past, Dr. Mo received a lot of financial support and went underground to conduct scientific research.

Before the results of the scientific research were exposed, Dr. Mo disappeared.

What are the scientific research achievements that make Dr. Mo willing to disappear?

Lu Ze always had a few links that he couldn't think clearly, and he frowned, planning his next plans.

He decides to go back to the villa where the necklace was found, and conduct a search.

Perhaps some important information has been missed, and now no clues can be missed.
