Chapter LIV: Unknown Twenty-Three Quarters
“〖OverTheEndSky〗!“ Xingyu reacted instantly, flexed her ring fingers, and shouted her most customary defensive magic, "Leap into the End of the Sky".
"You don't need dark magic now!" Bei Mian, who reacted a little later than Xing Yu, shouted anxiously and angrily, but he could only face this sudden crisis at a loss.
In the panic, 2 seconds passed.
"Stop." Xing Yu flashed his palm and gestured, "It looks like this second [demon] won't attack for the time being." ”
Bei Mian, who was anxious to deform the doll in his arms, finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his wrist to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations:
"If it does attack, we won't survive......"
For safety reasons, Xingyu stood up, picked up four books from Beimian's messy desk, returned to his place, and briefly framed the [demon] with the four books.
The emergency treatment was over, and Xingyu breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly sat down.
"It seems that the so-called twenty-third is probably it."
Beimian nodded, buried his head in the flimpy doll, and fell into deep thought.
On the other side, Xingyu also observed the card through the gap in the book and began to think.
The room was eerily quiet, save for the sound of the evening breeze blowing through the window, and the faint breathing of Ta Yu.
Although they are thinking the same way, the two people are thinking in very different directions.
"Card 23...... Why does it happen? Is it some kind of implication? And why the [demon] card? Obviously, the [hell] in the gap between time and space has disappeared, why is there an extra one? Among them...... Is there any connection? There is nothing other than [hell] that has such great magical power, is it made according to its own will? Or rather...... Is this actually an act of self-preservation? ”
"The appearance of two [demons] in a row is no longer explained by the so-called 'definite fate'. Or is it no longer able to express any abstract concept, and the abstract concept must be accompanied by the realization of a concrete matter, so that each of these two [demons] expresses a concrete event? …… That's basically impossible for a person......"
It's just such a mistake that makes the truth that seems to be close at hand confusing again.
Xing Yu clutched his feverish chest and thought unwillingly:
"Sure enough, that feeling just now...... And it was fulfilled. ”
From the time the third card was a [Demon], Xingyu began to feel a faint sense of unease.
By now, she finally understood that she had realized that her reasoning was wrong from the beginning.
So, the main question now is: where exactly does the error start?
It's like calculating a physics problem, and at the end you find that the result is not realistic, all you have to do is to work backwards step by step and find the position where the dot is one decimal point wrong.
However, in such a situation of serious lack of conditions, even geniuses are powerless.
"Yu sauce, did you say it before...... Will he fix the incident? Bei Mian suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence, "If he triggered some residual will of [Hell] in the process, is it possible to make [Hell] take defensive measures?" ”
Xingyu frowned, pursed his lips and shook his head.
"I don't know these things very well, but Ta Yu and I mentioned that the destroyed [Hell] has basically lost most of its power, and most of it will not have the power to create a second card."
"That's ......" Beimian showed a confused expression, biting his fingers, and continued to search in his mind for key content that might have been overlooked.
"That'...... Did Xiao Yu-chan say anything else? About [hell]. ”
Xingyu tugged at his earlobe while struggling to reminisce.
By the time she was four years old, she had somehow developed the habit of pulling her earlobes while thinking about it.
"She didn't specifically mention it to me...... But she told me in great detail how to use [Demon] cards after [Hell] were gone......"
Xingyu stumbled as if talking to herself, recounting what was going on in her mind.
Suddenly, an accent word that she had been ignoring since just now because she was in a state with a special meaning suddenly touched her nerves.
[Demon] ...... Can't you describe it...... A real demon?
