Chapter 36: Reasoning and Searching

Oude didn't bother with me anymore, and after a few more words with Ouya, he took a few parts and went back to his room, presumably he didn't even want to see me now, after all, I almost killed his most cherished sister.

Ouya walked up to me in three or two steps, looked up at me and said, "Thank you, J7, for saving me." With that, he hopped back into the cockpit, and the flying ship was reactivated shortly after.

For this girl, in fact, I have an inexplicable good feeling from the first time I see it, I can't say why, but because I think about Cher, I put it down to an appreciation of beautiful things. But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be the case, in addition to the attraction from Ouya's smiling face, there seems to be something special pulling me in.

There were a lot of other things that made me feel strange, first of all, the last piece of fire in the first life, the incandescent flames obviously didn't belong to any of the dragon species I had ever seen, and I was sure that all the dragons had already poured out of the nest, and there could be no other dragons in the dragon's lair, so where did the flame come from? If it weren't for the inexplicable fire, I might have touched the crystal at the time.

And Oude's reaction, why was he in such a hurry to leave Tisball at that time? This was true in both lives, could it be that he could have known in advance that the dragon was coming? If not......

I found a corner and leaned against the wall with my arms crossed. If not, I'm afraid that the flame that I devoured in the first life will not be able to get rid of Oude.

There are also many questions about myself, this life is the third time I have been resurrected, and the biggest question is why I was able to be resurrected, and every time I come back to life, my soul is obviously weakened a lot, and in the second life, I will even be completely weak. Although I used to think of it as a means of torturing me from above, it doesn't seem to be the case now.

At the end of the first life, I fell in front of the crystal, and in the second life, after touching the crystal, I was defeated by all kinds of negative emotions, and then I was killed by the dragon, so that I wanted to kill myself at one point. I've been blindly believing in the notes and finding the location of the crystal based on various clues, but in the end, it ended up like that. Now that I think about it, is this crystal really something that can fulfill all wishes?

I revisited the contents of the second half of the notebook, and was surprised to find that the memories of the previous period seemed to be complete, and not all of them had been forgotten as in the second life. While surprised, the last sentence of the last page of the second half of the notebook caught my attention.

"But to slip through the eyes of this behemoth, it's really ...... I believe I can succeed, and in the words of this sentence, may God bless me......" At the time, I subconsciously thought that the author of the note was looking for confidence in himself, but now it seems a little strange.

Why do you say "to paraphrase it here" instead of directly writing "God bless me"? Could the author of this note also be a reincarnated person?

Thinking of the purple robot and Bars from before, this explanation seems to make sense, if the author of the note is really also a reincarnated person, then where is he now? Speaking of which, I've always overlooked one of the biggest loopholes, and that is the number of crystals. If the crystal is really a wish-making machine that can see all wishes, then there should only be one left.

Putting it all together, I scolded myself for being an idiot. The truth of this world is not those two crystals at all, and I care too much about the record of that note, and I am carried away by urgent thoughts.

In this way, there are other secrets in this world, and now the other clues are broken, and there is only one left. The annotations on the map are very similar to the handwriting on the note, and it is estimated that it was written by one person, and the map must not have been drawn first, so the author of the note may still be alive.

I stood up straight, walked to the window and looked into the distance, the sea of clouds in the afterglow of the sunset was beautiful, as if rippling with golden waves, and the walls of the four directions in the distance were also looming in the light of the sun.

It seems that I have to go to the author of the note and ask him what exactly happened at the time.

……

As before, as the sky was getting dark and the stars were over, we arrived in the city where we had lived for more than a week. Everything in Tisbor, with its yellow sand and rocks, has not changed, but after coming here this time, it seems that something is different.

After getting off the flying ship, Ode and Crewe, who had come to greet him, said words that I could already recite backwards, and walked towards the VIP passage. During this period, I carefully observed the demeanor and language of the two for the first time, and Crewe still showed the virtue of a god, and he was in place in terms of etiquette and honorifics, and no matter who looked at it, he would think that he was the first time he had seen Oude, and he also respected Oude's identity as a mechanic. If I only look at his behavior, I would feel the same way.

But from Oude's body, I saw some flaws. I hadn't paid much attention to it before, and Ode was obviously half a beat slower to react when he saw Crewe, although he covered it up in time, but there was still some surprise in his eyes.

It seems that this Kru should not be the first time to see Ou De, these two seem to have known each other before, if it is an old friend, there is no problem, from Ou Ya's innocent expression, you can know that these two people are definitely not similar to friends, otherwise, as a person who loves his sister a lot, it is impossible for Ou De not to tell Ou Ya about the relationship between the two of them.

Coupled with Oude's deliberate cover-up, the relationship between him and Crewe is definitely not ordinary, but from these alone, it is not clear what the connection between these two people is. But one thing is certain, the incandescent flame that killed me in my first life was mostly related to these two people.

There was a flash of anger in my eyes, but it subsided. As far as the process is concerned, if it was really Oude's doing, then there is no doubt that he is the enemy who prevents me from resurrecting Cher. But judging from the results, if I hadn't died at that time, I am afraid that there would have been no second and third lives in the future, and it would have been impossible to have the opportunity to know the truth of this world. And if I hadn't had this man to change my battery and let me move freely, my movement would not be so convenient.

Even if I don't have a good impression of him, I still have to thank him, I can understand that everything he does is probably for his sister Ouya, if it were me and Cher, I should choose like him.

It's a relief to think about it this way, after all, the two of us are the same kind of people, but understanding is understanding, I still have to find out what secrets he and Crewe have, I don't want this last chance to be burned by that inexplicable white fire.

All the way to the underground city, this time seems to be more similar to the experience of the first life. After arriving at the residence, Oude replaced my battery, gave me the map, and after a few words, he took Ouya back to his room. He still seems to be sulking because of what happened before.

Glancing at the display, the remaining power is only enough for 3 hours of activity, because of my previous actions, the solar panel cover and upgraded battery that should have been obtained have not been installed, and the continuous activity ability is much worse than before. But 3 hours is enough, after all, I already have a plan about where I'm going.

Putting the map into the storage space, I headed to the east of the underground city. Robot station, if you want to collect information, this is definitely the best choice, in addition to a large number of robots, if you have the opportunity, it is best to go to the data room to see.

The notebook is very old, conservatively estimated to be an item from 20 years ago, and its author should be a middle-aged or old man now. This person was once blown into the lake of the Dragon's Den, and according to the height of the mountains there, the author's position at that time should not be too far from the Dragon's Den, so the identity of this person can be determined to a range, either an adventurer or a soldier.

I recalled the history book of Ode on the flying ship, which recorded that there was an all-out war against the dragon species thirty years ago, but the end ended in failure, although the human power became stronger and stronger, and there was the city of Tisbor as a backing for supplies, even then it was still unable to resist the dragon's breath. Thousands of soldiers died in that war, and hundreds more are missing. In the notes, the author writes that he was blown away far, far away, how can an adventurer without equipment protection under normal circumstances not be able to die like this?

Therefore, it is more likely that the author is a soldier, assuming that he is still a human after coming as a reincarnated person, becoming an adventurer will undoubtedly require financial support. A reincarnated person, still in a dirty and shoddy environment like Tisball, it is undoubtedly very difficult to become an adventurer. If it were me, I would definitely choose to join the army, not only to get a set of protective equipment, but also to have easier access to information.

Another point is about notebooks, the reason why this notebook can exist must be recorded by this author, if it is an ordinary person who is immortal on the battlefield, but is trapped in an unknown place, will he think of writing notes? Moreover, this notebook must have been prepared in advance, indicating that this person usually has the habit of writing a diary.

Moreover, there are some smudges and damages on the notes that make it impossible to fully see the contents, most of these smudges and damages are caused by age, but some of them are obviously accidentally rubbed when writing. The notes are written from left to right, and each line is very long, so if you write with your right hand, you won't have so many smudges, and only with your left hand.

By reasoning in this way, my goal has been narrowed to a very small range: a soldier who fought in the war thirty years ago, who disappeared for a while but survived, who is now a middle-aged or old man, who has a habit of keeping a diary and carrying a diary with him, and who is also left-handed.
