The situation in front of him was becoming more and more surprising, and under the broken mask of Night Raven Quark, an incomparably familiar face was revealed. When I peeked into the cracks of the broken mask before, I had already noticed that the Night Raven Quark standing here had a surprising true face, but when I actually saw it, I still couldn't treat it with absolute calm.

“…… Carmen? "Yes, that face, distorted by pain, is exactly what Carmen looks like.

Carmen and Night Raven Quark? I couldn't grasp the connection between the two, although I could guess that it was Carmen or his people who took the information disk of Night Raven Quark in the first place, and it was not surprising that he would do such a thing purely from his standpoint, but his expression of pain at this time made me think that there must be something strange in it. The Carmen I know is the "agent of the doomsday", and there are various hypotheses about his origin, but no matter which one it is, it can only prove that his existence is deeply related to the "virus", and it also plays an extremely crucial role in the direction of the apocalyptic illusion. His identity is unique, and I have only seen such a "doomsday agent" in the entire adventure of the Doomsday Fantasy.

Because of this, it seems that his pain at this time is an extremely rare situation.

His situation at this moment made me feel that there was a terrible aura coming to my face. It was not emitted by Carmen herself, but some kind of existence that made Carmen miserable, peeking at me in the shadows of the invisible. I couldn't help but be suspicious, looked around vigilantly, and suddenly realized that more than ten seconds ago, I was still talking to Dr. Ruan Li and others in the air, and there were constantly reassuring movements over there, but now, it was as if we had been isolated into another world, as if we had noticed the sudden arrival of dead silence.

At the beginning, we were in the gray fog. I lost track of others, and now, I seem to be in a similar situation alone.

"Mom? Instructor! Fortune teller! Mr. Mitsui! I slowly stepped back, ignoring Carmen, who seemed to be a painfully frantic Carmen, the Night Raven Quark, though it looked like a full-coverage shell, but apparently had a very direct connection to the inner Carmen. I had to take the damage to the Raven Quark mask. Combined with Carmen's pain at this time, but even so, I still don't think that the Night Rarow Quark that I fought with before was purely an internal Carmen operation, and had nothing to do with Night Raven Quark itself.

The Night Raven Quark, or Carmen, in front of him seems to carry too many secrets for people to sort out in a short period of time. He is still dangerous. Because of this pain, the situation is more dangerous than before. Not just because he looked like he was going crazy, but because he looked more like a prisoner than a "manipulator of the Night Raven Quark" - if Carmen was imprisoned in Night Raven Quark's body, then. Who has such the ability to be such a "doomsday agent". Imprisoned in my former cyber demons?

Undoubtedly, my special identity makes Night Raven Quark unique. I can imagine that someone took advantage of these features. However, even if you know that Night Raven Quark is special, if you don't have the corresponding skill and mystery. It is also impossible to do such a thing as "restraining doomsday agents". The other party, who is familiar with me and Carmen, understands better where our particularity is revealed. There are even more extraordinary and targeted mysterious powers, and the guys who deliberately meet these conditions are absolutely rare in the apocalyptic fantasy.

The first thing that comes to my mind is still the "ultimate weapon". I had some feelings as soon as Night Raven Quark appeared, but when this kind of peeping, malice, and terror from the background took shape, it became more and more full and clear. For many people who don't touch the mystery, this feeling is perhaps more of an illusion, however, my personal experience has always told me that when I realize a very bad possibility, the truth can be even worse. In other words, the existence of the night crow quark, if not the "ultimate weapon", is at least the "ultimate weapon" level guy.

It's not a good choice to go head-to-head with an enemy of this level in the here and now.

I'm probably already breaking out in a cold sweat on my back, right? However, I didn't feel much, the previous battle was a warm-up, and I was still injured, but the heat of my body and the pain of the wound quickly cooled down.

I want to know, Dr. Nguyen Lê, what the hell happened to them? I hope that it is only me who is isolated and left alone to bear the current dangers. If this kind of isolation is based on the idea of breaking down, then Dr. Ruan Li's side will definitely not be calm. I only hope that if they are in danger, they will not even be able to fight back.

I retreated to the front of the convenience store, through the roller shutter door, and listened to the movement inside, but it seemed that there was no one inside. No, maybe there really isn't one. Thinking so, I observed the interaction between Night Raven Quark and Carmen again, and the interaction between the two seemed to be in trouble, and Carmen was struggling in pain, and it seemed that because of this, Night Raven Quark could not continue to move. The stalemate between the two will probably last for a while.

Just as I was on my guard, Silent tore the lock with force and lifted the roller shutter. In the middle of the night, when the gray fog fills the air, there is no light in the store, and the light is so dim that the naked eye can barely see the outline of the near object. After a second, some silhouettes came into view in a trance. However, if there were people inside, such a big movement of opening the door would have already alarmed the other party.

At this moment, there is no one in the convenience store that is still deadly silent.

Suddenly, Carmen let out a low, exhausted roar that drew my attention back to me. He was finally less struggling, but he was extremely weak, and although I didn't like to take advantage of people, I also had a lot of experience in catching the enemy's weakness in battle, and however, I didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Night Raven Quark or Carmen. I have a feeling that even now, he still has enough defense and vigilance, and if he uses force, he will lose the opportunity to talk. In response to the speculation about Carmen's current situation, I think it is not appropriate to always treat the other party as an enemy who must be killed when meeting, although his position has always contradicted mine, but in the past contact. For various reasons, there are few opportunities for direct combat, and this relationship should be able to continue.

To fight, to kill each other, and there is more time after that. However, the real enemy is not Carmen, the agent of the apocalypse, but something much more terrifying. I think we need to talk about it when we are faced with that kind of existence. Moreover, I also think that Carmen at this time has similar thoughts.

The last time I met Carmen, he was fine. He was preparing to make a big deal and put my savings as part of his plan. He was unabashed about his thoughts, confident in what he was going to do, and I knew that he had laid out what he could, and this Doomsday Shinrikyo of the Repeater World was the hole card he already had. And. I don't know, though, exactly what that is. However, Carmen probably could have used the power of "Jiang", and his identity and position at this time also seem to be related to "Jiang" - there is such a feeling, but there is no corresponding memory.

Carmen, "virus" and "river", the relationship between the three. At a certain point, it is very close to my situation.

However, such a terrible guy has just disappeared for a month, and he has become this miserable appearance. I do not know. Whether he was asking for hardship or being targeted, but either way, the situation he encountered definitely involved the secret of this repeater world, and it was enough to prove that the power lurking in this secret had reached such a terrible level.

If Carmen's captivity is a fact, then his struggle at this time also means that he wants to get out of this situation. In this way, his appearance may not be a coincidence.

"Carmen, do you want to see me?" In the blink of an eye, I sorted out my thoughts and feelings and took the initiative to ask.

The swaying, very weak Night Raven Quark, no, his current identity should be Carmen - he ripped off the entire crow head mask, as if he was wearing full armor, but he did not wear a helmet - however, his head image was also somewhat abnormal due to the interference of some mysterious forces, as if he was barely using a crimson liquid substance, barely pinched into the shape of a skull and facial features, and from time to time, there were gases that volatilized and transpired into mist.

He rested half-kneeling for a few seconds before getting back to his feet.

"Long time no see, Takakawa." His voice was very hoarse, probably due to an abnormality in his vocal cords, which made his voice sound completely different from the past, but the unique and unruly taste still gave me a familiar feeling.

The way he is now, he can't be called human at all. No, the "agents of doom" were not human from the beginning, and both the physical and mental structures give a sense of alienation. His voice reminded me once again of the first time I met him in a post-apocalyptic fantasy. I couldn't help but touch the magic pattern on the inside of my wrist, the original magic pattern was given by him, if we are just enemies, why did he guide me to become a messenger of magic patterns? I still remember my answer: I want to be a hero and save the world. Then, with a mocking gesture, he guided me to mystical powers.

I know that in the beginning, I may have admired his detached posture. I do hope that I can master the power of mystery, become such a stylish man, do those things that only I can do, go through adventures that others can't even dream of, and turn the tide with an unparalleled body.

At that time, Carmen was dazzling, standing in front of me.

Now, his light is gone, but this struggling gesture has made me see myself.

I can't help but think that I am so similar to him, or that I am now on the horizon where he is.

Obviously, the last time we met, I didn't have such a deep feeling. Is it because he is like a tiger falling into Pingyang at this time? No, I don't think so.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for dozens of days." I stared at him, as if trying to print his expression in the slightest, "I'm amazed by your changes. ”

"Ah, no way, it's just a mistake." Carmen's voice once again revealed a mocking tone, "The harshness of this world is always beyond my expectations. ”

"So, you're here for my help?" Very calmly, without any pretense, I said to him, "Tell me, I will help you." ”

"Why?" Carmen seemed to be a little surprised by my answer, "I have to admit that the initiative is in your hands now." ”

"You mean, I should have heard the cause and effect first. And then use utilitarian ideas to strive for more pay? I smiled and just stated, "No, I'm not going to do that." ”

"Why?" Carmen's expression changed, but it looked like it. It's just a change in facial features, and then it seems to have calmed down a bit.

"Because, when we first met, you didn't ask me for anything, did you?" I replied.

Carmen didn't speak, but the expression was indescribable, surprise was just one of the elements, more emotion, condensed in such an expression. However, I can't tell what kind of love he is, but at this time, he seems to be more like a person in terms of mental structure than some kind of anomaly. We can communicate. And, already communicating. There is no uncertainty about not being able to truly recognize the different when you have talked in the past.

"If it was the payment at that time, I would have gotten it a long time ago." After a while, Carmen stared at me seriously and said, "I'm not asking for anything, but when you make a choice. I've got what I want. Moreover, it also made me watch a good show. ”

"Are you happy to watch?" I asked rhetorically.

"Not bad." Carmen didn't hesitate, "But, after all, I'm just a joke. ”

"To be honest, I don't care how you position yourself." I said, "I don't care about you. To me, you're Carmen, the agent of doom, and that's it. It was you who gave me the magic pattern to get closer to the truth, to get in touch with the frightening facts, and even to make me afraid that I could not tell the truth. But none of that matters. I looked at him with the same serious expression and said, "For me, you are a beginning and a result, and maybe in the past, I have thought that one day, let myself be a beginning and a result for you." Now, I think it's the right time. ”

"I see, do you want to understand cause and effect with me in this way?" Carmen's understanding was a little different from what I thought, but, it doesn't matter, I don't care about this misunderstanding, because his understanding is not important to me, what matters is what I am doing means to me. I just heard him continue: "But, you must know, Takakawa, the cause and effect between us is not something that can be ended by doing this kind of thing. Ah, yes, you died once, so when you died, you didn't know much about the experiences of the other Takakawa. Maybe there is an impression, but there is no memory. ”

"No, I don't have any interest in other Takakawa memories." I replied, "I had already entrusted them with a qiē at the time of my death, believing that they would be able to do as well as they could, so if something happened to them, it would probably be irreparable. Now, my attitude is the same, I am based on the other Takakawa, to complete my plan, so I have no interest in what kind of results they have had. I'm sure they must have tried. ”

After a pause, I interrupted him before he could speak: "Tell me about you, I don't think you have much to talk about anymore." ”

Carmen's head twitched for a moment, and after two seconds he steadied down, and with a tired tone, he admitted that his state was indeed not able to withstand the grind.

"I need your help, Takakawa." It was as if he had let go of all his heaviness, looked at me with the purest gaze, and said, "Only you can do it." So, it took a lot of effort for me to get this opportunity. I guess, I guessed it, I'm imprisoned in your electronic demons like a power furnace. This electronic demon has more power, but because of me, I can't use it, and I can limit its chances, and that's probably it until you free me. Because, the enemy is strong and terrible. ”

"Who is the enemy?" I asked bluntly.

"Right River." Carmen replied in a deep voice.

"Right River?" This name made some impressions on me, and because it was full of symmetry with the name "Zuojiang", I couldn't take it as a coincidence, and besides, it was a Cun Zài who had the power to imprison the "Doomsday Agent". So, is it a humanoid projection of "Jiang"? No, it could also be the final weapon close to the side of the "virus". The final weapon and the "Jiang" series have always had a deep relationship.

"It doesn't seem like you know anything." Carmen said: "This is very good, you have to be careful, this time Youjiang is not as easy to deal with as the last time." ”

This time? Last time? This kind of statement makes me feel like a scale and a half claw in the fog, unable to grasp the whole picture of the problem. I didn't hide this feeling either, and said directly to Carmen: "I don't have relevant memories, I need more about this Youjiang's situation." What side of the person is she? What identity? The ultimate weapon of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion? Or something else? ”

"The right river is the right river, it is special, it is separate." Carmen said in a weak voice, as if he was about to run out, "If you look at the setting of the apocalyptic fantasy, you can think that it is the final weapon of the Nazis, and it seems that the only final weapon of the Nazis." Don't be fooled by the Nazis' current actions, they must have invested all their resources in this one final weapon to create such a monster - no, it's still too one-sided to think so. He struggled and said, "Gao Chuan, do you realize?" This apocalyptic fantasy is actually different at a certain time period, and you can imagine that the world line of this apocalyptic fantasy has been changed at some point, rather than being reconstructed as in the past. Taking that moment as the dividing point, the Youjiang before and after are completely different, but the Youjiang after is based on what happened to the previous Youjiang at the moment when the world line changed. ”

He said a lot in one breath, and his expression grew more and more tired, and the pain almost made it impossible for him to maintain a clear head and face.

"The reason for the change in the world line is that the Doomsday Shinrikyo is trying to use the power of the guò repeater to erase a certain situation at that time - I later felt that it was actually aimed at you." Carmen said with a solemn expression: "Within the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, there are deeper things that I can't touch, and they ...... It may be that they are aware of the situation, or that they are acting according to some higher will, and that will, knowing your situation, understanding your causes, and seeing your results. It can't do much directly to you, but it can interfere with you through other circumstances. Again, it's already interfering with me. Speaking of which, Carmen couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but half-kneel on the ground to keep himself from falling, his head was rapidly vaporizing, "I think, that's Jia ......" I guessed that he was trying to say "Jiang".

"It's the one who dominates the qiē." Carmen screamed as hard as she could, but her voice was as weak as a mosquito's cry, and it would have been hard to hear what he was saying if it weren't for the silence of the environment. I knew he was going to disappear, or rather, to be imprisoned again, and that he probably wouldn't get a chance to come out again before I acted. But now, I don't know what to do at all, if it is really the power of "Jiang" or "virus" that leads to this qiē, then it is not enough to do anything with my strength at this time.

"Youjiang, be careful of Youjiang......" Carmen repeated in her last breath, "it has been alienated, and Jiang's power will support it again." But, unlike me, it doesn't overload. It has ...... Infinite...... Possibility...... Nightmare in the Depths...... Monster...... Eat ......" The more his voice went to the back, the more inaudible it became, but the only few key words converged into some possible conjectures in my mind. In fact, the "mystery" in the apocalyptic fantasy still has a maximum limit in terms of mystery and intensity, that is the realm of "virus", or it may be the realm of "river", and the closer to the "mystery" of the two, the closer it is to the apex.

There is not much possibility of the existence of Zài, which is already close to the "apex", because its ultimate standard is only "virus" and "river".

So, if this "right river" is close to the "apex" of the existence zài, or, with such a possibility, then the changes that will take place in it, and the circumstances in which it will produce those changes, will become extremely obvious in a defined environment.

――Is the monster in the depths of Nightmare Las Vegas for the "Right River"?

I thought so. (To be continued......)
