Chapter 129: A Turning Point
Late at night, Li Ji tried to observe the changes on the Three Thousand Worlds Tower.
In the world of "Empty Realm", world lines emerge one after another, representing countless possibilities.
He shouted, "No! Why is there a fog here, which has never been seen before, could it be that someone is interfering... Who is it? Reaching such heights, could it be that old man, he wouldn't be so boring. β
At this moment, after a new round of observations, Li Ji confirmed that the two events that happened one after another today, as well as the existence of this uncertain fog, made the originally determined trajectory of the orange line be modified.
So, if before, what I needed to do was to slowly accumulate relationships within the framework of the original story, choose the right time to trade with Aozaki Orange, and then repeatedly observe the Three Thousand World Tower, confirm the effect, constantly correct, and finally reach the end of the orange line, such a relatively simple process method, the birth of emergencies, makes it difficult to achieve this goal suddenly.
Of course, the direction of the world line has not changed, and it is still moving in the direction of Aozaki orange becoming his helper.
The difference is that there is a completely uncontrollable part of the way forward in this world line, and a large number of Aozaki oranges hate themselves, and Aozaki oranges are missing, and so on.
I need to think about how to solve it, otherwise, if I pay so much immortal art, wouldn't it be bad if I turn to those world lines that I don't expect.
The problem was that the story of the world of "Empty Realm" was over, and he had no idea what was going on underneath, and he couldn't connect anything with the current clues alone.
"Speaking of which, before the situation is clear, let's investigate first, be vigilant, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I don't believe that there will really be a guy who is too strong for me to resist involved in the incident."
Li Ji finished sorting out his thoughts, and after the early hours of the morning, he walked out of the room and saw two Loli sleeping on the sofa, and "Magical Girl Melly" was playing on the screen.
"Asleep?" He knew that he came back very late today, and the two Lori, who were elementary school students, had not slept either, and when he arrived so late, he must have fallen asleep tired.
He was a little moved in his heart.
The matter that he originally wanted to discuss with the two lolis had to be postponed until tomorrow, so he first carried the two loli back to the bed, covered them with a quilt, looked at their peaceful sleeping faces, and pulled away.
The next day, Li Ji got up normally, and the two loli prepared breakfast and waited for him.
"Brother, do you have any work today?"
This is what Illya and Meiyou will ask every day, if the police station, the Magic Association, and the Templar Church have any special commissions, and want them to do something like hyenas, they will naturally find them, and Li Ji will take it if he thinks it is appropriate, and then let Illya and Meiyou carry it out.
Today, Li Ji directly discussed yesterday's events with them.
"Because of the two events that happened yesterday, I re-predicted the future and found that there was a crisis hidden behind Miss Orange, which deserves an in-depth investigation."
"Let's go to the city where all the ghost soldiers were annihilated yesterday later, and see if there is any way to find any clues, if we find clues, then it will be very helpful for us to judge the truth of the matter."
Two ceremonists, after yesterday's attack, Aozaki Orange has already conducted a preliminary investigation, and no useful clues have been found from the automata.
Therefore, Li Ji can only start the investigation through this again.
The two loli nodded: "Okay." β
They quickly finished their meal, set off in a car, and came to the place of yesterday's incident.
In this urban area of about several square kilometers, there are more than twenty ghost soldiers in total, monitoring the entire city day and night, mainly outsiders, to ensure that there is no intrusion beyond control.
Li Ji and the two loli went their separate ways, strolling through this old city and conducting investigations.
Because ghost soldiers are spirits, they don't really die, they don't leave corpses, they have to rely on magic props to find useful clues at the location of the accident, but the traditional way of asking passers-by is just as useful, and they need to be improvised.
Half a day later, they met at the agreed meeting place.
"Judging from the results of the investigation, the attackers were very strong, all of them attacked from behind the ghost soldiers, and all of them were killed with one hit, without leaving any clues."
Li Ji considered whether to re-send new ghost soldiers, if he added some powerful ghost soldiers, or even ghost generals, he could almost single-handedly take on the level of ordinary dead apostles, and it was estimated that he would not encounter this situation again.
He didn't make a hasty decision, re-dispatching is not the key, the key is the person who killed the ghost soldier, who is the other party? What is the purpose? Does it have anything to do with the automata that attacked them?
They were walking down the street, thinking about it constantly.
Not far away, they noticed the church on a quiet corner of the old city, and the young man standing at the door of the church, Father Yongli.
He stepped forward with two lolis.
"Isn't this Lee? Do you want to pray? I heard that your real identity is a Taoist priest, and in some way a cleric of the heretical gods, we are competitors? Father Yongli's calm words revealed an invisible murderous intent.
Li Ji was not flustered, he didn't care about his greetings at all, and asked directly, "Father Yongli... One thingβdid you know that the demon I was watching in the neighborhood was killed? β
Father Yongli didn't have a superfluous expression on his face, and tried to recall, "You're talking about things that look like souls?" Yesterday I noticed during my walk, by the way, to get rid of them all, so that they can end this suffering day sooner, you say they are your demons? β
"That's right... To be exact, they are all spirits sent down by the gods, and they usually disguise themselves as real people, so I guess they don't violate the rules of the Templar Church, right? β
"So, I really don't need to deal with them."
After answering, Father Yongli fell into deep thought, did not apologize, and stood quietly, but no one felt that there was anything unnatural.
For Li Ji, after learning that it was Father Yongli who killed the ghost soldiers, the harvest was that the clue was broken, a bad news.
On the one hand, it is difficult for him to have anything to do with the automata, and it is difficult for him to trace whether there is a special purpose behind him, he is such a dangerous guy.
Li Ji had to take the two loli back to the office first.
But on the way, he received a call from Aozaki Orange, who told him an unexpected and surprising news: "Lee, can you come to the workshop?" An hour ago, I was killed. β
