"I've got a great idea for the next one that I couldn't have thought of in the past, so let's test it?"

After a short "multicolored passage", Ryunosuke saw Olga Marie standing in front of him, staring at the clipboard in his hand, and speaking in a rather confident tone.

But in his ears, the voice seemed to come from a deep well or a cave. Dull and echoing, and he was more like he was at the bottom of the sea, suppressed by invisible pressure.

"Huh? Ryunosuke? What happened to you? Could it be that the experiment had any serious consequences? It must have been my pot that gave the order, and I haven't done anything yet. Olga Marie seemed to sense that something was wrong, and looked at Ryunosuke suspiciously.

Ryunosuke stiffly looked down at the crook of his arm, where there was no one, no one who had been pierced from the back of the heart, motionless, and had lost all his vitality, showing a sense of decay like a late autumn leaf that he had never seen before.

She's still alive.

Yes, of course, she's still alive [now].

Ryunosuke is like a long-abandoned factory, where the old machinery has been plugged in, and the limbs, memories, and minds are all very obscure and start working again.

Now it's ...... Three hours before the "executor" named Leif appeared.

Olga Marie couldn't come up with any new ideas after many experiments in the morning and noon, all the experiments were more like adding to the problem, and she would push the time forward by telling her what she had known every time she came up with a "great idea".

"Mary, where is Xiaohao? Illya and Basaka, and Hasegawa and Matthew? Ryunosuke looked up at Olga Marie.

"Didn't even bring 'Sue'? And how do you look like you're going to kill someone......" Olga Marie muttered a few words, and turned to say in Ryunosuke's glare: "Xiao Hao went grocery shopping, I already used all the ingredients prepared for the banquet last night, and I made do with it at noon today, and it's completely gone." ”

"As for Matthew and Lancelot, I asked them to go to the high street to help me buy parts for further experiments, and Illya, didn't you buy her a lot of batteries? I'm playing a VR game in the backyard. ”

It seems like...... Indeed, Ryunosuke wanted to recall what happened "just now", but it was extremely difficult, and he only vaguely remembered that when Illya and Basaka jumped out, she did have a VR sensor strapped to her.

"What are the further trials?" Ryunosuke remembered the ball of light made of black and red thunder and lightning on the "Time Machine", although it has not yet appeared, but the "Executor" Reif said that it was because of its appearance that he had to do it, but the credibility of that damn guy's words is still doubtful.

"Of course, it's the third stage of the [Time Machine] - 'True Body Transfers the Spirit Child'," Olga Marie pointed to the "Spear of Radiance and Reach" over there, "Its effect is just like the 'time and space text message' you sent through No. 12 by mistake at the beginning, unlike magic and magic that are unreasonable and rely only on the will of man, science needs a cornerstone, even if the principle of the cornerstone itself is difficult to explain or too coincidental." ”

Yes, that's exactly what happened, Ryunosuke, who is a teacher by profession, quickly thought of something related: because people have ten fingers, mathematics will use the decimal system; Because humans live on Earth, the value of G (gravitational acceleration) is 9.8, and because about 70% of the human body is water, the temperature at which water freezes is set at 0 degrees.

As for other more basic things, which only have phenomena and no explanations, but are widely used in life, production and research, it is even more difficult to enumerate, so—

"So, now that the 'cornerstone' is complete, anyone can continue the research for you." Ryunosuke said.

"Yes, the first two phases are difficult to carry out because they don't have any visible and reliable results, and the third phase will have some results from the beginning, so anyone can-" Olga Marie closed her mouth in a daze and looked at Ryunosuke: "Is it someone from the clock tower?" ”

"Leif or something, do you recognize him? Guy with a cuckold. Ryunosuke pulled the corners of his mouth to laugh, but he couldn't.

"Leif Lenoll Floros? The prodigy, otaku, research maniac, and magician of the [Fes] with the attribute of 'imaginary number'," Olga Marie frowned fiercely: "Hell, did he become the [Executor]?" ”

Listening to the bunch of new terms that came out of Olga Marie, Ryunosuke's face remained unchanged: "So, if we have a plan or not, can we kill him?" ”

“…… Killed? Olga Marie looked closely at Ryunosuke's expression: "Did he do anything?" ”

"He drove a centaur-shaped machine and killed Xiaohao." Ryunosuke's tone became cold and hard.

"Hiss......" Olga Marie gasped: "Then, it should be his magic structure or magic in his 'imaginary space', I heard that he has been buying a large number of consumables, but he can't see the finished products and waste, everyone still thinks that it is the normal wear and tear of imaginary space research." ”

"Can you kill?!" Ryunosuke stepped forward and asked fiercely.

"Wow!" The genius girl took two steps back in panic, almost hitting the courtyard wall: "When, of course you can, most magicians have exactly the same physical fitness as ordinary people without special means of protection. ”

Afraid of the "cowardice" of the wicked? Can you stop adding attributes to yourself...... Ryunosuke had such a thought in his mind, but he had no intention of saying it.

"Very well, then we're going to teach Illya and Basaka," Ryunosuke nodded, "Ask them to ambush outside the courtyard and kill that guy when he is ready to make a big fuss." ”

"Well, that's the ...... of the clock tower after all," Olga Marie hesitated.

"After the killing, we will rush to London as soon as possible and hand over the project to your father," Ryunosuke had clearly planned: "No matter how frustrated your father is now, it will always be fine to keep a project that is approved by the [Time Magician], and I, as an assistant and apprentice, will not be designated by the [Seal]. ”

"I always feel like what you've been through before is a little too ......"

"If you have nonsense, it's better to act quickly!"

"Woo......"

Two hours later, Illya, who was lying in ambush outside Camelot with Basaka, was almost bored to the point of falling asleep, and when the "Time Machine" gathered the red and black lightning balls like the last time, there was no one in green and a green hat.

"[Dudulu~This is Lin Hao's phone~]" and Ryunosuke's mobile phone rang.

"Hello? Ryunosuke, look~" Lin Hao seemed to be using a video call, and was shining a light on the back of her right hand with the mobile phone camera: "It's so strange, what is this in my hand?" ”

It was a twist and a turn, and it was taking shape, like three blood-like red lines.

"Hello! Where are you? Come back! Ryunosuke panicked and shouted repeatedly.

"I'm in- uh-huh!" The girl's voice was cut off suddenly, and after the camera shook a few times in a row, a fierce face like a shark and a bloodhound.

"Mr. Yusheng, Miss Animsfia," Leif stared at the camera with his cold eyes, "Despicable people are waiting for you in the clock tower, remember to bring all the test data and equipment." ”

He deliberately shook the camera to show Lin Hao, who was knocked unconscious by him, and then interrupted the call with a click.

"Uh...... On the bright side, she's just been captured, and we'd better—" Olga Marie tried to reassure.

"If we do what he says, we won't have a chance to do it all over again!" Ryunosuke shook his head resolutely and walked over to the "time machine".
