Chapter 20: The Road Ahead

Shen Yue replied with silence.

Su Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything you can do to help me?" ”

"Not letting the reincarnation end, is the only thing I can do, in the first four days, I was just an ordinary woman who crossed from the Huaxia Region, and I can't help you anything." Shen Yue replied, "And on the day of the arrival of the four-day node, that is, on June 1st, the strength of me and the Light and Shadow will be restored, and then I will take the initiative to fight against the Light and Shadow Person, if you hide far enough, under my shadow, you may be able to live until the end of the seventh day, but I have no way to give you any guarantee, once the war starts, I can take care of you less." ”

Su Chen nodded, and asked again, "Then how long will you hold on?" I mean, how long can this seven-day cycle last? ”

"I don't know." Shen Yue said, "I really can't suppress the Light and Shadow Ones gradually, and in some cases, the Light and Shadow Ones will even gradually recover their memories in the first four days before June 1st, but I can guarantee that we have at least ten more chances to reincarnate."

"Out of these ten times, find a way to defeat the Light and Shadow, and we will survive.

"You are a native of Yuanliao, and you have directly and indirectly killed the Scarlet and the Wailing, believe me, when the Light and Shadow kill me, the next target will be you. Even if you can run away, they'll lock you back when the chaos is over! ”

Su Chen was noncommittal to Shen Yue's words, and continued to ask: "In other words, we only have ten chances, so although you have nothing to gain?" But you must have been in contact with the Lighter for a long time? Did you find anything? ”

"Her name is Hanon Nakajima, you should know that. Is she a native of Tokyo? Grew up in an orphanage? Later adopted, as an adult? Her adoptive parents both died in car accidents, and she lives with her boyfriend? In the Confederation 176 years? The two got married, but the good times didn't last long, and in April 177, Hanon Nakajima's husband was polluted by an unknown weirdness? Suffering from a disease that humans simply can't solve? She went to the doctor, spent all the money, and then borrowed from a loan shark, and this money was spent, and she didn't wait for Nakajima Hanon to borrow the next money? Her husband died.

"Subsequently, she was collected for debts? That is, from May 29th to June 1st, she was forced to a dead end? On June 1, he committed suicide by jumping off a building in the Skytree.

"That's all I know? Now according to the number of reincarnations? Some details may change? But......

"I didn't find anything critical in it."

Shen Yue said these words slowly, raised his head, and looked at Su Chen calmly.

Su Chen didn't say anything about this tragic life experience, just nodded slightly to indicate that he heard it, and then continued to ask: "I have a question, before June 1st, whether it was Nakajima Huayin, you-Shen Yue, were ordinary human beings, right?" I don't understand, why do you exist as 'Light and Shadow Hunters' and 'Curtain Hunters'? ”

"We're normal people, and we're weird." Shen Yue was not surprised by Su Chen's question, and still answered as if he had expected it, "Of the seven children of the original mother, the light and shadow are the first, and I am the end as the curtain hunter, we are the head and the tail, and the wailing and scarlet are all different, they inherit a part of our mother, but they have no inheritance power, only we have the power."

"And as the price of carrying power, we do not have an actual carrier like the wailer and the scarlet, we will be born as ordinary people, experience, until the real us wake up in the human body, after awakening, for a long time, we will also exist on the basis of the life and character of the recent ordinary person, because the things that have been precipitated by time and fly must be digested before they can be absorbed and calmed.

"For example, I think you can help me, try to protect the humans in Tokyo as much as possible, and even use the name Shen Yue, which means that I haven't completely transformed from the identity of a human Shen Yue to a 'curtain hunter'.

"And as you can see, I and the Light and Shadow have awakened in Tokyo."

Shen Yue's eyes were clear, and what was on her beautiful face was a pure and sincere willingness to cooperate, and her answers were also very smooth, without any pause or hesitation, and she was completely in a state of saying whatever she wanted.

Su Chen didn't immediately ask any more questions this time, but fell into a long silence.

He was recalling the information he had received before in combination with the information that Shen Yue said in front of him, which was not only what he had seen in the reincarnation of Tokyo again and again, but also traced back to a much longer point in time, all the conversations and materials he had with the crystal cluster about the Primordial Mother, all the records he had seen of the Primordial Mother from the Federation and the situation in Tokyo, and the conversation he had with this woman named Shen Yue a few months ago.

He was silent and thoughtful.

Shen Yue didn't speak, just silently looked at Su Chen here, waiting.

After about five minutes, Shen Yue glanced at his watch before he said, "What's wrong, is there any problem?" ”

Su Chen glanced up at her, took a deep breath, shook his head, and turned to another topic, "I have one last question, it has nothing to do with you and the Light and Shadow Ones, I want to know, where are 'they'?" On behalf of the crystal cluster that we have reached an agreement with you, the temporal confusion here can protect us to a certain extent, and give me a buffer time to find 'them' in Tokyo, and as long as I find 'them', I can get a chance to get out of the predicament.

"I believe what the crystal tuft says, but I don't know where 'they' are, I don't know how to use this buffer time to find 'them', and why I can change my current situation by finding them.

"You just said that as long as I get rid of the endless cycle of space-time chaos, 'they' will re-lock me, and although I and 'them' have only ended once, I know very well that once 'they' determine my location, find me, and make a move on me, it will be a dead end.

"I'm dead, Bai Feng is dead, that crystal cluster is dead, Yuanliao people, then everything now is meaningless.

"So, although I promised to help you solve the Light and Shadow Person, I need to know the answers to these questions, even some of the answers, because if these problems are not solved, even if I help you solve the Light and Shadow One, the eyes of 'them' will fall on me, and I will also have only a dead end.

"The fundamental reason why I ventured to Tokyo was to address the mortal threat that 'them' posed to me.

"We have to find a way to survive in this buffer period.

"And make a deal with that crystal cluster to bring me here under 'them' to get you, the Curtain Hunter-

"You must know the direction of this road.

"You'll have to show me the way before I can figure out how to help you."
