Chapter Twenty-Six: The One That Will Come—
I don't know what the weather was like during the day, but late at night it was cloudless. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā
"I found information about Usami Renko, but she's a third-year student in high school, and it's not in our school, or a local school to be exact, but in ......Kyoto."
Flipping up and down the pages displayed on the computer screen, Mu Xiu casually summarized the information on it and said it.
"Is she the only one?"
"Yes, she's the only one, but what I saw tonight wasn't a fake, and it couldn't have been a hallucination. Maybe they came to Tokyo for something? You wait, I'll see......"
Mu Xiu also seemed to be very puzzled, quickly controlling the radio waves, and converting his thoughts into actual operation instructions-
&bsp;I saw that the interactive interface on the screen suddenly became blurry, various characters and pattern pages continued to open and close, and excessive data processing made the computer's hard disk constantly emit a screeching disk rotation sound.
Mu Xiu's eyes were staring at the display screen without blinking, as if he could see clearly without the slightest pressure.
After about two or three seconds, his pupils contracted slightly.
&bsp;"Yes, Usami Renko asked for leave from school on February 2nd, and asked for a five-day vacation, citing club activities, strange, can such a reason for leave be passed? ”
"Or is she the only one?"
&bsp;Yakumo Zi seemed to be thoughtful in the back, just watching Mu Xiu invade one institution after another on the network with his amazing skills, as if entering a no-man's land to find out all the information he needed.
"Yes, she's the only one, and there's no information about Merry......" Mu Xiu's body leaned forward slightly, his mouth opened slightly, and the emotion expressed in his voice was a sense of proximity.
“……”
“……”
The room was silent for a few minutes before the monster girl said slowly, "Can you find where she is in the city now?" ”
……
……
In a large room in a towering hotel building, two identical beds are placed side by side on the left side of the wall.
With long brown hair and comfortable pajamas, the girl hugged the pillow and seemed to be immersed in a good sleep. The lighting in the room was dimly dim, but it was not completely dark, but it was true that only the fixed bedside lamp was shining, and the room seemed to be ...... A vague and ambiguous sense of the occult.
The curtains were drawn, but the windows were not closed, and the night breeze was slightly blowing.
The sleeping girl was obviously not a particularly sensitive person, so she slept soundly in such a comfortable and warm environment, and she didn't notice that a dark crack slowly appeared in the room, and there were countless dark red eyes inside, looking indifferently at the outside world.
Before I knew it, there were two other "people" in the room.
However, Mu Xiu was obviously not very willing to take risks, but as soon as he appeared, he waved his hand to distort all the electromagnetic waves, and the figures of him and Yakumo Zi only appeared for a moment and then disappeared into the air, like a phantom-like flash phenomenon.
- Light cannot be refracted normally, infrared and other microwaves cannot be detected, all breath is shielded, and almost all physical means cannot confirm its existence except for direct contact.
Mu Xiu used his electromagnetic manipulation ability to cooperate with the subtle level of control, and almost directly achieved the effect of the B-level breath masking skill. People can't sense their own breath, and even mental power fluctuations can be hidden, as long as they don't attack, they can be perfectly hidden in the surrounding environment.
"It's really just her...... "Yakumo Murasaki's voice sounded faintly in the air.
"But she opened a double room, and the front desk of the hotel also said that it was a girl's stay." Mu Xiu's voice also contained some strange meanings.
“……”
“……”
Then, both of them swept their gazes gently over the empty bed on the inside, where there was nothing, no uncoordinated supernatural elements, nothing.
"Maybe Lianzi won't wake up at all at this time, the whole hotel is shrouded in some kind of psychic suggestion, and the center of the mutation is on that bed. If that "Melly" existed, she would probably be "asleep" by now......"
Mu Xiu suddenly spoke, he had a relatively clear idea, but he was not sure.
"I originally thought that your relationship was a simple state of opposites, similar to an allusion like Zhuang Zhou's dream, when she dreamed, it became you in the dream, and vice versa. But now it seems that the situation may be even stranger......"
Maybe it's like two sides of the same coin, obviously interdependent, but they can't see each other anyway?
If Yakumo Purple is still in the world over there, there is an infinite distance of time and space between the two, and it is estimated that such a connection will not be too deep. After all, the timelines at both ends are not equal, and Yakumo Murasaki may only dream once for days, ten days, or even months.
But when both are coincidentally in the same world, this connection is strengthened and amplified I don't know how many times, and the time has been synchronized, Yakumo Purple is limited to the routine of day and night-
Because Melly wakes up during the day, it's like Yakumo Murasaki dreaming, and vice versa.
There was probably nothing wrong with this line of thinking, but when he discovered that "Mei Li" might not actually exist, Mu Xiu felt that something was wrong. "Melly" only appears when Yakumo is dreaming, but what if Yakumo is awake, where is "Melly"?
It's like a thought body generated by an overly strong dream, because it doesn't actually exist relative to reality, so Mu Xiu hasn't been able to find any record at all.
And only when she appears, a power similar to a strong spiritual suggestion will also appear, so that the people around her will not feel abrupt because of her sudden appearance. That is, when she exists, everyone takes it for granted, and when she disappears, some invisible force will automatically block the corresponding memory impressions.
Maybe even Usami Renko didn't know anything like this, she naturally didn't feel anything wrong when "Meili" existed, and she didn't know about such changes when "Meili" didn't exist or fell asleep.
&bsp;—As if it were obscured from the level of the law of cause and effect, no one would even feel logically wrong.
"And what are you going to do?" Yakumo Zi quietly listened to Mu Xiu's opinions, and did not judge the ideas and speculations in them, but asked unusually calmly.
"I can't say for sure, but if you look at it like this, you can only guess, unless there is a more accurate source of information." Mu Xiu gestured at the empty bed, and coughed pretendedly, "And it's not your business, I'm not going to interfere, right?" ”
"It's not good, but who knows what you're going to do to me when I'm asleep?" The youkai girl nodded approvingly.
Muxiu: "......"
……
Yakumo Murasaki was undoubtedly in shape, because when Melly woke up, she was just asleep.
And when she woke up, Melly was "gone", which is the most obvious contrast. It's just that in the current world, Melly's home advantage is not at all, at least the schedule seems to be under her control, not Yakumo Murasaki.
But I don't know what kind of considerations it is.,In the end, the monster girl doesn't seem to plan to dig deeper.,But to let it go with the flow.。 Although Mu Xiu felt curious and reluctant to do this, he was helpless, after all, this was Yakumo Zi's own problem, and he couldn't overstep his responsibilities.
Just to observe the above two simple conclusions, the two waited until the next morning, when Merry "woke up".
There was a human girl who was almost exactly the same as Yakumo Purple on the bed, and she opened her eyes lazily and then closed them again.
She looked like she had slept all night, and she had just woken up but had not fully woken up, and even Mu Xiu, who had been watching that position, had no way to find out how she appeared.
And Yakumo Zi had already fallen asleep silently the moment before the human girl showed her form, and the two really had no possibility of meeting each other.
Although Mu Xiu had already applied invisibility to the two of them, his voice had not been eliminated. If it weren't for Mu Xiu catching the monster girl who fell down softly for the first time, the sound of the bang would be enough to wake up the two human girls.
So, in the air that no one could see, Mu Xiu stared at Maelupelle Hearn, who was half-sitting up on the bed, with a strange face, and finally sighed silently, and quietly withdrew from the room with the sleeping Yakumo Purple while they didn't really get up.
There is a saying that as long as it exists, it is reasonable, so he feels that everything in the world is not gratuitous. Whether it is the "existence" that only half of his existence is left, or the strange relationship between Yakumo Purple and Mei Li, which is like Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, there must be an initial cause.
From the moment of birth or existence, everything must have a predestined use or development, which is a fundamental general direction.
Therefore, he felt that he might soon understand the root cause of the lack of meaning in his existence, and the relationship between Yakumo and Merry would definitely need to be in the future......
However, when he finally left, Mu Xiu went to the front desk of the hotel again and used money to make a joke.
However, the young lady at the front desk on duty on the night shift was preparing to change the guard, and last night she swore that "a girl insists on booking a double room, and she remembers such a strange thing very clearly", but at this time she changed her words, and she didn't realize that there was anything wrong.
The check-in form also has more information about Melly.
Mu Xiu also used his ability to hack into the hotel's network system, and found that the surveillance camera in the corridor yesterday only captured the image of Usami Renko alone, and Merry's figure appeared, and the two of them walked into the room together at the same time while talking and laughing.
There is some invisible force that not only hints at the people around who are involved in this area, but also modifies the relevant records on the material plane.
&bsp;……
……
Since then, Mu Xiu has been paying attention to Usami Renzi intentionally or unintentionally, but he hasn't deliberately done anything.
Until Usami Renko or Melly went back together, left Tokyo and returned to Kyoto, it was like this, he just kept an eye on.
During this time, Mu Xiu was trying to familiarize himself with the power of the fourth-order primary forbidden area, but unfortunately it was still impossible to take the initiative to open that invincible state. Yakumo Zi also warned him that extreme nature means being strong and uncontrollable, and Mu Xiu, who only has a positive side and a single realm in his body, has a stronger urge to deny than anyone else.
It also means that his inner demons may be very terrifying, and if you are not sure, you should never trigger them.
On the 7th of February, the weather in Tokyo was unusually snowy, and I don't know if it was because of some chain mechanism caused by the underground world, anyway, the whole city was covered in snow, and the temperature was unusually cold. Schools all over the city were closed because of this, and Mu Xiu did not go out.
Time seems to suddenly return to a leisurely daily rhythm.
Until this day—
As soon as the first class ended, before the teacher packed up the lesson plan and walked out, the students in the class gave a hula and left the classroom with incredible speed and action, and 80% of the people left in an instant.
Before Mu Xiu could figure out what was going on and hesitated to run out with him, Miki Hanari, Izumi Segawa, and Risa Asakaze had already stood next to the aisle in unison, and each put a small box on his table.
Is this a bomb attack?
Subconsciously thinking of such a thought, Mu Xiu looked up at the stupid trio in confusion.
"Today is February 14th, the day when girls give chocolates to boys." Hualing Meixi explained coldly as always, and the other two were also laughing and laughing, after all, there were not many boys who were familiar with them.
"Uh, yes, yes......" Mu Xiu looked as if he was frightened, and stared blankly at the three small boxes on the table.
Izumi Segawa hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, it's just righteous chocolate. ”
"I know, I'm just thinking...... Is it too late to take a leave of absence? Mu Xiu nodded blankly, and suddenly had a wonderful premonition that a great disaster was coming.
Is it an illusion...... Right?
