Chapter 42: Ethical Issues
Everyone's dress is weird to the extreme-
No matter how you look at it, he is a farmer who has been working in the fields for a long time, but like a great knight, he is awe-inspiring to command others;
Obviously, no matter how you look at it, she is just a woman who is equal to her height when she is middle-aged, but she patrols the streets with agility and dexterity that does not match her figure;
No matter how you look at it, he should be a sturdy man who has been a tough veteran of a lot of battles, but he wears a coarse linen and patched garment, and he cringes when he passes by those eccentric "knights".
β¦β¦
On the surface, when you look at it from a distance, you think it's normal, but if you look closely, you will find out.
Everyone's characters seem to be completely inconsistent with their essence, messed up.
"What the hell is this...... What's going on, is the world in chaos? β
At first, Emilia subconsciously thought that the rule of the church had made the heavens angry and resentful, so the residents of the local town finally couldn't bear it anymore and rose up to rebel.
- If that's the case, it can barely explain why the villagers are like knights, wearing armor and swords, patrolling the town at night.
Maybe it's because the church is nearby, and it's likely that they will come overnight to suppress them, so the people in the town have to do this?
But later, after Emilia carefully explored the entire town without anyone noticing, she found that it seemed that the whole town was in chaos.
And the weirdest thing is that everyone seems to be used to this situation, and there is no surprise at all.
ββ¦β¦ Could it be that I saw strange hallucinations myself? β
The whole town is so weird that it's normal to wonder if the problem is with you. If everyone around you thinks that "abnormal things" are "normal", then the confidence that you are not wrong will of course be shaken.
With an extremely tangled mood, the brave girl left the town with a changing expression, preparing to spend the night in the nearby forest.
She had a vague premonition that it seemed that it was not the right time for her to come back this time, and that Ante Isula's world might be in the midst of a process of great change, and the tide of fate swept everyone into it this time.
Although nothing can be seen now, and it is not like those disasters in the past, whether it is natural or man-made disasters, wars and famines, the lethality of terror will always manifest itself at the fastest speed and spread rapidly.
But she just had a feeling that this would not be much worse than the big event when the Demon King wanted to conquer the Holy Cross Continent, and it might even be even more excessive.
There is no evidence, and the only clues are just the strange phenomenon in the big town just now, but intuition is intuition, not reasonable.
Of course, the forests on the continent can't be like the earth in the 21st century, which is basically a scenic area, but for people like Emilia who are only beautiful girls on the surface, they don't go there.
Although the conditions will be a little worse, it will not be too bad, because this time she deliberately brought a lot of quite convenient things from the world over there.
"Thunderbolt-type spells should be able to be charged, right?"
Finding an open place to sit down by a stream in the forest, and glancing at the stars in the sky, the brave girl patted her face, cheered up, and began to rummage through her ...... Back...... Pack......
- Hey, wait, what about your own backpack?!
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ
Her face changed, and the girl realized that she didn't have a backpack behind her back at all. But she had completely forgotten when she had put it down, and where it had fallen, and she had not even noticed it.
Wait! It seems that even the angel's quill is gone!
Sitting there on her knees, she struggled to remember that it had been more than an hour since she returned to this world.
I didn't encounter anything on the way...... Wait, wait!
Her body shook violently, she took a deep breath, and then subconsciously looked at the stream next to her.
The water is very clear, and the reflection on the water can be seen clearly in the moonlight, and the girl in the water has long pink hair and bright yellow-green eyes, and is wearing a strange pink school uniform, looking like a beautiful girl who is both elegant and talented.
But obviously, that's not what Emilia should be.
"What's going on...... Who's this? β
The brave man, who couldn't keep up with the situation for a while, felt that his body was trembling slightly, and his brain was a mess.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Above the clouds, the golden ripples looked like another floor on the carpet of the sea of clouds.
There was a tea cabinet on the low table, Mu Xiu picked up the kettle next to him and poured boiling water into the small teapot, and then poured the tea into the teacup, his face was quite strange, but he didn't say anything.
Beside her, a girl with silver hair and red eyes who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting there with her knees crossed. She also had a large backpack beside her, bulging with all her bags.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
A silent, quiet atmosphere is permeating.
"βHey, Mu Xiu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Finally, the silver-haired girl raised her head, sat down with her knees crossed, stared blankly at someone opposite, and glared at him angrily.
Mu Xiu first took a sip of tea, then looked at the tea pillar floating in the teacup with pity, sighed and put down the cup silently.
He looked at the angry girl opposite, hesitated for a moment, reached out and pushed the other cup forward, carefully picking out the most suitable words for the present from the past experience-
"Daisy-san, please use tea...... That, that's a good fit? β
"Yes, thank you......" The silver-haired girl first showed a shy smile, and then suddenly yelled at him angrily, "How can it be suitable! This is not my original body at all! β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Then what should I say, I don't often encounter such things, I really can't find the right sentence." Mu Xiu had a subtle expression on his face.
"But it's all because of what you did, hurry up and recover for me!" Guidaisy gritted her teeth and looked at the boy.
"This, I'm afraid it's a little difficult......" Mu Xiu scratched his face and turned his face away.
There are only two ways to remove the "Angel Fall", the first is to defeat the caster, and the second is to destroy the "ritual scene".
Although this is actually very simple, it is too easy for Daisy-san to defeat him, and it is not difficult to destroy the ritual itself, because what has created the huge magical phenomenon these days is the magic effect of the rune sequence that Mu Xiu carved into the void.
But since he was able to imprint the runes in the void and engrave them on the foundation of the world, it would not be difficult to destroy them and erase them, and it was always easier to destroy them than to create them.
However, the problem is that there is no turning back from the bow, and they only have one chance.
If you can't catch it, I'm afraid you will have to be trapped in this world and that space forever, until Mu Xiu breaks through to the fourth-order advanced level, and then he will be able to open the way back.
And that time, roughly estimated, will take at least ten or eight years.
"Unless you are willing to see me go on a killing spree, not only killing all the hundreds of millions of people in this world, but also swallowing their lives, souls, spirits, consciousness, etc., etc., all in one gulp, and turning them into nutrients for their own growth......
Mu Xiu spread his hands and sighed with self-deprecation.
The reason why he didn't play his cards according to common sense, in addition to seizing this opportunity to break through the limitations in the game, was also because the elder was involved, and he didn't want to act too crazy anyway.
It's too much to get your hands bloody, and if you show it to the point that your heart is blackened......
Looking at the silver-haired and red-eyed girl who wanted to stop talking, Mu Xiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Look, it's probably impossible for you to change your thinking immediately...... So, let's go with a softer solution. β
ββ¦β¦ I don't think your solution is softer. Gui Daisy's face thawed slightly, and then said bitterly.
"At least they won't despair so much that even their souls will be completely wiped out, you can just treat them as if they have finally changed to another form of life......" Mu Xiu sighed.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The two fell into silence again for a while, and Gui Daisy was also a little upset, but she also knew that this was the best way.
Butβ
"Hey, wait, did you change the subject again?!" She suddenly came to her senses, and cast her gaze with some annoyance.
"Well, I really didn't consider this situation, who knew it would be such a coincidence." Mu Xiu looked at the girl who had completely changed into a different look, and said with a sigh.
In fact, more than an hour ago, he was also taken aback.
"Originally, in my spell, as the core part of the spell effect, you will not be replaced, because you need a very close phase to be able to match, but there is no such person in this world."
ββ¦β¦ So what's going on now? "The girl was completely confused.
"As you can see, that kind of person happened to appear in this world at such a critical moment......" Mu Xiu nodded and said softly, and then he seriously looked at Gui Daisy's current appearance-
"I don't even know what to say, the height is basically close, the weight is very compatible, of course, the gender is the same, even the chest ...... Ahem, it's basically the same anyway! β
"The most important thing is that you are a winged angel, that is, an incomplete angel who can only wander around the world. And she is a hybrid of humans and angels in this world, and she is also an intermediate existence between the human world and the heavenly realm. β
I don't know if this is a coincidence or an agreed necessity.
It was as if it was meant to be, perhaps this was the manifestation of the will of the world to fight back against the invaders?
In any case, the world has an instinctive pan-consciousness of repulsion of invading foreign objects, albeit impersonal and unsubjective.
Therefore, even if it is an arranged script, it is estimated that the Alayes of this world are not willing to go to destruction so easily, not that the creator wants them to die, and they will die obediently without resistance.
"So what the hell is going to do now!" Gui Daisy is a little crazy, after all, anyone who finds that he suddenly has replaced his body with someone else will not be calm.
"Perhaps...... Not much of an impact? After all, they are all girls, and to be honest, this phenomenon once caused a girl's appearance to be replaced by a tall man who is more than two meters tall and has long red hair......"
Mu Xiu laughed dryly.
Compared to the God Crack Fire Weaving, this is actually not a big deal, you must know that whether the person walked into the bathroom or the locker room, someone would call the police, and the tram was also mistaken for a pervert.
And this is just the "external" change, the essence has not changed, except for some powerful people who can observe the abnormality, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, in fact, the world is simply normal.
"But you can see it, right? Do you think you really ...... Want me to stay like this for the rest of the year? β
For some reason, Gui Daisy cast a cold gaze.
Seeing that the other party had completely turned into Emilia's angelic appearance in his eyes, Mu Xiu was silent for a moment and turned his head: "I seem to have encountered an ethical problem......
