BGM: Poison (Akatsuki Kami)

After some complicated explanations, there were a lot of misunderstandings in the middle, so much so that Suzune wanted to raise a knife and hack the magpie to death several times. In short, Suzune finally understood the whole story.

The two sat on the couch, looking at each other.

"Uh-huh... You have to take care of me next time, or what if I disappear inexplicably?" Suzune looked at Magpie with a complaining and aggrieved look.

。。 What's going on, this guy's tone.

Que always thinks her attitude has changed very strangely.,But it's not time to dig into it now.。。

"yes, I see. ”

Suzune didn't answer.,Just smiled stupidly.,Very happy look.,I don't know what I thought.,Laughing so happily.。。

"That... I turned this on. ”

"Hmm. Suzune hugged her knees and softly agreed.

Instead of talking nonsense, Magpie untied a plastic bag that was simply knotted. A small square ball of yarn inside is exposed, and there is nothing surprising about it.

But Magpie found that when Suzune saw this, her pupils contracted and her lips opened slightly. The hand that was holding his knee tightly also opened a little unconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Magpie didn't touch the ball of yarn again.

"No. You continue. Untie it. Suzune spoke in a loud voice with a solemn expression.

"Huh? Do you know what this is?"

"Meat balls. ”

“。。 Meat balls. Is it the "All-Knowing Almighty" you just said?"

"This is the invitation, the exact same one I received two years ago. ”

“。。 You asked someone to send this?" Although the magpie said a question sentence, his tone was very negative.

"No way, I've never done anything like that. You said that you have been with me since the beginning, so it should be very clear. ”

"Indeed, so, this thing is really the so-called "meat ball"?"

"You can take it apart and take a look. ”

“。。 All right. Looking at this ordinary ball of yarn, he didn't feel anything at all, but now after hearing Suzune's explanation, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his back was a little cold, as if he was being stared at by something.

。。 This feeling. It's after opening the box...

"Now, do you want to destroy this thing?" the magpie directly asked for advice.

“。。 It's up to you, but don't you want to participate in the game? Hawkers,It's a pity that I can't make a deal with you.。。 As she spoke, Suzune's expression became a little sad.

"It's fine, whether it's or not. I think we have room for our deals. ”

“。。 What do you mean?" Suzune looked up at him happily.

"If I didn't have your intelligence, I wouldn't know what this thing was, and... How long does this so-called "omniscient and all-powerful" game last?"

"Not necessarily, but according to the information I've got, it usually lasts for about a month, and what is the holding cycle. I don't know. ”

"Well, what? If you're willing to help me for the next month—within the limits of your ability. Then you can leave at any time regardless of whether the game ends in a month or not, and in exchange, I can give you three bottles of medicine directly. ”

"Really?!ahh Ahem" Suzune noticed her gaffe and immediately restrained her happy smile. He coughed twice in a pretentious manner, "Okay, then I'll reluctantly agree to your excessive request, you rotten man." ”

"Then the deal is valid. ”

。。 What's this guy happy about?

Magpie feels like it's getting harder and harder to understand this guy's mind. Although it's a little childish in all aspects.,But it's hard to understand what she's thinking at this time.。。

"You open it up and show me. I'm going to make sure for myself, what's in there?"

"Well, wait a minute. ”

Magpie pulled out a thin pair of white gloves from his black bag. Speaking of which, this pair of gloves was not made by him himself, and the current finished product is only a modified version of him.

A few months ago on the roof of the building, Magpie and EVE's members, "Amazing Painters", F. The painting fought a fight. After successfully using the regenerated corpse explosion to turn him into a mosaic, Magpie found that his suit, black trousers, and several stacks of A4 paper were all in tatters, and his flesh and blood were no different from ordinary people, and they were of little value, but the white gloves were unexpectedly preserved.

After inspection, this pair of gloves has nothing else special, the only feature is that the physical resistance is very high, whether it is tenacity or damage to high-pressure cavity puncture attacks, it is very easy to take bullets with bare hands - if the reflexes can keep up.

Then there was the magic change, and Magpie used metal mixed with "148" alloy to weave a very fine net-like structure, mixed into the inside of the white glove, and then applied a special protective layer. So much so that now both physical damage and mental interference can be effectively resisted.

Magpie put on white gloves under Suzune's somewhat impatient eyes, and then reached out to touch the ball of yarn.

。。 It's really just the touch of ordinary silk thread, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.

The magpie finds the end of the yarn ball, then pulls it out, unties a few knots, and then clumps the loose yarn in the palm of his left hand.

"Magpie, you don't need to be so cautious. I've tried, and it's not harmful. ”

"Not necessarily, maybe it's done harm, but you don't know it. ”

“。。 All right. The girl nodded noncommittally.

While untangling the yarn, he said, "I feel. . . Whether it's you, or those who are officially participating in the fight... Why do you all believe so much in such a weird thing as "the all-knowing and all-powerful"? ”

"After all, there is no ground, I think many people with regrets and obsessions will block everything for such an illusory opportunity. ”

“。。 Obviously, that guy can't get any benefits.,Although there's a suspicion of instigating others to fight each other and then have fun with it.,But in the final analysis, this kind of behavior is not good for it.,This kind of selfless dedication.。。 Is it possible?"

"Well, but even if that's the case, aren't you going to participate?"

"Participate? no, no, no, how could I participate in such a weird thing, it's unreliable when I hear it, it's like deliberately luring people into a trap for a cake that doesn't exist... Tempting others to keep dying. I'm going to. ”

The magpie had already seen what was in the yarn, and then felt that the sense of not peeping was getting stronger and stronger, so he simply stopped talking.
