In the mysterious space inside the Crystal City, there are crystals representing life floating in them, which are exuding a hazy beauty under the mist.

But the four people in it had no intention of looking at it, and they were even distressed by the existence of these crystals.

"That..."

In the silence, a female voice broke the silence.

"We're now... What to do? ”

Midorikawa Mai cautiously looked at the faces of the stars next to her, Asuka and the unfamiliar Kirino Mufu, and finally couldn't help but ask after waiting for a long time.

All that answered her was silence and an increasingly serious atmosphere.

This makes Mai very distressed, and makes her stand between three men with serious expressions but don't speak, this kind of pressure is really great...

Helplessly, all possible solutions have just been rejected, and there is really no feasible plan to implement at present.

"Anyway, let's go out first."

The stars really spoke.

"Find Captain Hibi and them, if you think about it together, maybe there will be a better way..."

Having said that, all three of Asuka could read in his expression his uncertainty about this statement.

But it's a way to go, after all, Nakajima's brain is really good, and Captain Kibi's rich qualifications may not have any good insights...

"Oh, that's weird..."

Just as everyone was about to exit this mysterious space, Mai accidentally discovered a strange phenomenon.

"What's wrong?"

The stars really turned around, and Asuka and the others also stopped at the right time.

"That, these crystals look like fog on the outside, and the people in the crystals don't want people from outside to see their appearance, right?"

Mai said as she pointed to one of the many crystals above her head, confused.

"But that crystal doesn't seem to be the same..."

Zhu Xingzhen and the others looked up along Mai's point, and found that in the dense mist crystal group, there was a crystal that was not hidden by the fog, but emitted a little light outside, which could be said to stand out among the many crystals covered by the fog in this space.

Such an obvious phenomenon shouldn't have been discovered now, but if Mai hadn't inadvertently looked up, maybe they would have passed by this strange phenomenon...

"What's going on?" Asuka was also curious, "Do you mean that you are not afraid of being seen by people from the outside world?" ”

"That's..."

But Zhu Xing really saw the clue, although his eyesight was still far beyond ordinary people in the form of a human body, in his eyes, the person wrapped in the undisguised crystal was...

"You guys go out first." Zhu Xingzhen saw the person in the crystal and said lightly, "I plan to go to that crystal to have a look." ”

"Huh?" Mai was surprised when she heard this, "Is there anything strange about that crystal?" It's kind of chic when it's glowing, but..."

"I know the man in the crystal."

Zhu Xingzhen explained with a wry smile, and then without waiting for Asuka and the others to respond, he walked straight towards the crystal directly above.

"What now?"

Mai and Asuka looked at each other, probably didn't expect Zhuxing to really meet an acquaintance here, and when he was hesitating, he saw Kirino Shepherd Shi Shiran on the side follow, and suddenly felt a little big.

"Let's go along, too," Asuka looked depressed, but quickly picked himself up, "Maybe there will be some danger, and we can help if we are together." ”

Even Asuka said that, and Mai had nothing to say, so she could only follow the footsteps and walk towards the crystal above.

Coming to the crystal, when the stars really saw the person in the crystal, they couldn't help frowning.

I saw that the person in the crystal did not match the rich state when I first saw it, and it was not even as haggard as the one I saw in the hospital before, and his eyes were sunken and thin, if it weren't for the vague recognition of his face, Zhu Xingzhen definitely didn't believe that the person in front of him would be the Hirolai Heiji he knew.

Yes, the one who is now in the crystal without concealing it is none other than Guanglai Heiji.

Looking at the way he hollowed out his body, it seemed that he had not stayed far away from the Crystal City recently, but had come more and more often.

I don't know how he escaped from Nohara and the others who were guarding him and entered the Crystal City with such a serious overdraft...

Is the 'ideal country' so attractive to him...

Zhu Xingzhen found that although he had learned about the past from Nohara, his true understanding of him was still at a very one-sided level.

Thinking about this, Zhu Xingzhen took a step towards the crystal and suddenly realized that although he knew the specific principle, he didn't seem to have the ability to forcibly enter the crystal world...

"Need help?"

The timely appearance of Kirino Mufu broke the real embarrassment of the stars, and along the way behind him, you could still see Asuka and Mai who were coming.

"I'm worried about your safety, what a great bunch of companions."

In the bitter laughter of the stars, Kirino Mufu said with a chuckle.

Although it was a little surprising that Kirino Mufu and Asuka and others followed up, Zhu Xingzhen didn't think it was a secret matter, so he took them with him, and under the secret traction of Kirino Mufu, he entered the crystal.

......

With a sense of trance from spiritual familiarity, when Zhu Xingzhen and his party opened their eyes again, they were already in a slightly unfamiliar crowd.

Strangeness is not only to the people around you, but also to the surrounding buildings, although unrecognizable, it always gives people a sense of déjà vu.

"Eh, isn't this Tokyo??"

Mai was suddenly a little surprised, and pointed to a building not far away.

"Ahh That place I knew, I used to go to a lot when I was a kid! And that..."

With Mai's identification, the stars finally figured out the city they were in, and although it was very unfamiliar, they were still in Tokyo.

"But, I remember that these places were demolished and rebuilt a long time ago, why are they still like this..."

After the surprise subsided slightly, Mai found the clue again.

"This look is exactly what I remember when I was a child..."

"Oh my shame you remember..."

Asuka was a little impressed on the side, but it was him... No, he's determined now that he's in the scene, and he's completely unimpressed with these places...

"That's it! As long as I am interested in something, I have never forgotten the precedent! ”

Mai was very proud of this.

"But all this is the imagination of the 'master' of this world, isn't it?"

Kirino Mufu observed for a moment and then whispered, interrupting the communication between Asuka and Mai.

It also reminds them that they are now in the fantasy of others.

"yes, how could this person have imagined the city of a few years ago, and these people..."

Mai looked around carefully and noticed that the people around her seemed to completely ignore the existence of the four of them, walking on the road with expressionless faces, like puppets...

"It's scary to look at..."

Naturally, she shrank down to the side of the stars and the birds, and Mai was very resistant to the flow of people around her.

"Since it's a fantasy, it has limitations." Zhu Xingzhen comforted Mai a little and said, "Such a big fantasy, if you want to maintain it, it is naturally impossible to cover everything, I'm afraid we are still some distance from the 'master' of this world, otherwise the expressions of the people around us will not be so wooden." ”

Following Kirino Makio's statement about the 'master' of the mirror world, Hoshima began to think about how to find the 'master' of this place in this false city, Hirai Heiji.

"So, as long as we look separately and find the area where the world is relatively real, we can find the person we want to find?"

Mai took out the W.I.T communicator on her waist, but found that the communication signal was completely absent, and she couldn't help but be depressed.

"Sure enough, it doesn't work in this..."

"Let's find it together." After that, Zhu Xingzhen looked around, and then walked to a vehicle waiting for a traffic light at the intersection, opened the door and pulled out the driver inside and threw it aside, "Come on, it's much faster to drive than to run to find it." ”

"You're too..."

Asuka was stunned and looked at the moving stars.

Without him, just because this is extremely incompatible with the team uniform on his body...

However, after seeing that the driver who was pulled out of the car by Zhu Xingzhen just stood up and walked away numbly, and quickly integrated into the army of puppets and became an inconspicuous member, Asuka and the others still accepted Zhu Xingzhen's approach.

In this false world, you really can't act with common sense...

But what makes Asuka even more puzzled is that Zhu Xingzhen can't help but adapt too quickly...

"Sure enough, although this world is imaginary, and it is difficult for human beings to make up such emotional beings on a large scale, these machines are still fine."

After a brief attempt, Zhuxing was really satisfied with the start of the car, ignoring the traffic lights and heading towards the intersection.

"I'll drive, you can help see which direction is more 'real' for the people and things around you."

Zhu Xingzhen said, driving the vehicle away from the crowded place.

And in order to be in a hurry, Zhu Xing really didn't mean to slow down, and knocked passers-by from time to time along the road, as if he was exercising Mai's nerves in the passenger seat.

To paraphrase himself, it is...

If you want to find trouble, you must first learn to make trouble.
