Nayaratto Tipu ...... Chaos ...... I'm ...... at the end I will speak, and listen to the vanity......

……

……

In a dark room, quietly.

The eerie white moonlight peeked through the windows and lit up the place. Outside the window is a moonlit town, and the top floors of houses and buildings glow with white light from the rising moon, which looks particularly eerie and quiet.

In the room, a maid dressed in a plaid skirt, with a beautiful girl with long hair shining silver and clear as if it were transparent, supported her elbow on the arm next to the chair with one hand, and her white and slender palm supported her face on one side.

The long dull hair on the top of Naiako's head hung down weakly, and the silver-haired and blue-eyed beautiful girl pursed her lips tightly, her eyes seemed to have lost focus, and she looked ahead in a daze. I don't know how long she's been in this state, anyway, this chaotic girl who is prostrate and self-sinking is lying with her shoulders down.

It doesn't have the vitality of the past, it doesn't have the natural madness of the past, but it is quiet. The shadow of Naiako, who likes to laugh at and ridicule human beings more than three meals a day, even if she pretends to be well-behaved on the surface, she doesn't know what bad things to say in her heart......

It seems that the body of this girl has completely disappeared.

I don't know how long it has been, but the beautiful girl with silver hair and blue eyes moved slightly, as if she had sobered up, and sighed softly.

At this time, the sound of footsteps from far and near came from the corridor outside the room, although it was very slight, but it couldn't hide from Nayako. And this light footstep was not deliberately concealed, and during this time she was also somewhat familiar with the owner of the footsteps.

There was a knock on the door, and then the beautiful girl pouted, but she still stood up and walked over slowly to open the door, and the dim light of the corridor outside suddenly poured into the dark room.

A girl in a slim mage robe stood outside the door with a grin, and when she saw Nayako open the door to the room, she immediately stretched out her hands to pinch Nayako's cheeks. However, the latter seemed to have known that she would do this, and immediately took two steps back vigilantly as soon as she opened the door.

"Yikes! How can Naijako be ...... like this?"

Yu Yan didn't succeed, and immediately pouted and complained dissatisfiedly, but Naiazi was not moved at all, but turned her face away, and hugged her hand to her chest: "Ah, the earth is amazing, there is a sound of someone talking in an empty room......"

"Hmm——!! It's too much, don't think you can't see me, Naiko! I'm going to be angry?! ”

"Woo (whisper)...... It's you, what's wrong? Is there any news? ”

“…… You just 'dush', didn't you?! You just whispered to me! It's too much! ”

Nayako looked in other directions, pursed her lips, and blew in a shuff, probably trying to whistle but not blowing the sound.

The mage girl looked at the latter angrily, and found that Naiko didn't care at all, and although she tried her best to show her anger, she couldn't help but laugh herself, and then couldn't help but sigh. She looked into the dark room, and walked inside, took flint and steel from a small table, and lit the candles in the wall-hung candelabra decorated with arabesques.

The room suddenly became much brighter, but for modern people who are accustomed to using electricity, it is still very dim, but it has changed from the previous complete darkness except for the moonlight by the window, to barely able to see.

The interior of the room is finally revealed, a quirky and beautiful room with blankets and tents of unpredictable colors, as well as intricate tables and chairs, cushions and daybeds, as well as elegant vases and decorations that are slightly exotic but not entirely bizarre.

However, Naiako didn't seem to like the light very much, and subconsciously reached out to block it.

"Huh? Nayako: Do you like darkness a lot? Didn't you say that in your world, Nyarrathotep is a racial name rather than an individual name, and that you are indeed the Nyaratotip who roars in the dark? ”

Naiako's cheeks puffed out with a bored face: "Not really, although I do occasionally have the urge to roar in the dark!" ”

"Is that so?" The mage girl looked at it with a little suspicion, and the evil god in front of her, who was transformed into a beautiful girl with silver hair and blue eyes, seemed to be trying to imagine what it would be like for such a girl wearing a black and white plaid skirt maid outfit, with long dull hair, long hair shining with silver and clear light, and beautiful eyes like emeralds, roaring in the dark......

Not! It's not scary at all, it's better to say it's too cute.

Shaking her head vigorously, expelling the picture of the silver-haired and blue-eyed beautiful girl roaring in the dark from her mind, Yu Yan remembered what she came here for, so she said with a serious face:

"My brother just came back from a phone call and said he had found a key clue that could be ...... if there was no mistake It may be related to the problem of us directly completing the main quest one. ”

She said this, then hesitated for a moment and added, "He got some clues from some of the old people in the town that it was half a century ago, specifically before 1877, that a heretical order called 'Wisdom of the Stars' existed here for a while, and the location of its activities was in ......"

Naiko also became serious, she blinked her big turquoise eyes, and suddenly asked, "That church in town?!" ”

The mage girl nodded, as if to confirm very forcefully, "That's right, that evil secret cult was there back then—some people say that this illegal cult summoned something terrible from the unknown abyss in the night sky. ”

It was also after that year that rumors began to circulate with a sinister omen, and the men slipped away like rats...... It was also at that time that people here began to notice that there were occasional disappearances of pedestrians in the area......"

Speaking of this, she seemed to be a little annoyed and said, "But the priest in the church back then is dead, and the order of the 'Wisdom of the Stars' has long since disappeared...... And it has been passed through the local population for half a century, and how much of it is worth believing is debatable. So we decided to only distill the simplest story line as a clue, after all, it has appeared in several versions, and the skeleton in this area should not change. ”

Sometimes, human beings are so clever and so boring that they can depict the same thing from multiple angles in contradictory ways, but if they only look at one angle, they can justify themselves and not feel that there is anything wrong with them - just like the evolution and change of myths and legends.

The silver-haired and blue-eyed beautiful girl pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth: "It should be more than that, if there is only this information, it is far from being a key clue." ”

Yu Yan smiled and said, "Of course not, we have been acting separately and keeping in touch." After my brother confirmed that most of the bizarre legends had been circulating since 1877, Huang Quan managed to find his way into the town's police station at night and found some very interesting records. ”

"For example, after 1893, there was a man named Edwin W. M. Lerich, a reporter who likes to get to the bottom of things, wants to make a big story, so he dies in the church, scared to death...... Before that, there were some relatively simple but very obvious timelines, probably a series of events recorded by an old policeman before. ”

The mage girl coughed, looked back to see if the door was closed, and looked in the hallway to see if there was anyone - they were all staying in the local hotel in Providence for the time being, and this world was a very strange kind compared to the previous scene world, so it was better to be careful about some things.

After doing all this, she also subconsciously released a soundproof barrier, Yu Yan considered the sentence for a while, and then slowly said the information that Isayama Huangquan had been looking for for a long time from the police station, and then said it after streamlining it.

To sum it up, that's -

In May 1844, Professor Enoch Bowen returned home from Egypt and in July he purchased the Old Church of Free Will.

In 1846, three people disappeared in the town, and for the first time there were rumors of a 'shining octahedron'.

In 1848, seven people disappeared in the town, and for the first time there were rumors that cultists would sacrifice blood to ordinary people and please evil gods.

In February 1877, the church was closed down, and by the end of the year, 181 people had left the city.

……

Naiako honestly raised her hand and asked, "Then do you think you have determined the key to the next, which is the church?" ”

"That's right, no matter how you look at that church, it's probably the most likely...... We have enough reason to think that the professor, who came back from Egypt, brought back the shining octahedron, and then it was from that time that all the grotesqueness began. Even the Heresy Order of the 'Wisdom of the Stars' was the first to start operating there, and the mission requires us not to leave Providence until we complete the main quest one, isn't this a disguised indication that that the thing was not taken away by those cultists? ”

The mage girl said as a matter of course.

With her long dizzying silver hair swaying gracefully, Naiko tapped her lips with her slender white fingers and muttered softly, "That's true, I've been keeping an eye on Robert Black here, and that guy has decided to go to the church later to satisfy his curiosity and curiosity, and he's written it down in his diary—"

"Huh? Have you been spying on him...... I thought you were - ahem, how did you spy on that guy. ”

The silver-haired and blue-eyed evil god beautiful girl pouted her lips slightly, then stretched out her finger and pointed out, looking in the direction she pointed out, Yu Yan saw a strange jade, with snake-like vertical pupils, reflecting the flash in the dim light, as if it had just been dug out of the eye socket of a big snake, at first glance, Yu Yan couldn't react for a while that this was a precious jade.

"...... this?"

"Snake Jade, that guy used to make something casually, the effect is to be able to monitor the movement of the subject from a distance through the breath obtained in advance, or put another jade in a specific position in advance-" Naiako said in a strange tone, her expression was a little blank, "I tried it, and I didn't find that there was a distance limit for the time being if I used it normally, and it was also very hidden, and it would naturally blend into the environment......"

The mage girl's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became a little interested: "So powerful? Is it a magic item? What's the deal with the fact that there is no distance limit, you might be able to try a cross-continental experiment, and you should be able to get a sense of the approximate performance of this kind of thing, right? ”

“…… It should be a magic item, but I don't know the internal structure, and it's-" The silver-haired and blue-eyed beautiful girl looked at Yu Yan's eyes with some pity and sympathy, "Why do you think I haven't tried intercontinental experiments?" In fact, I've used everything, and I still can't figure out what the maximum distance limit is......"

As if she saw the hidden emotions under Naiyako's strange performance, Yu Yan asked cautiously, "What is that...... How's that? ”

"Half a month ago, that is, the day after I entered this world, I used a one-time curvature engine that I bought from a certain technology side team in the advanced area, and it is said that I tried my best to bypass the rules of space from the ultimate area, and transported it to the advanced area, and through the assembly and matching of some other scientific and technological items, I made some kind of launcher......"

Naiazi said lightly, but the words that came out were shocking.

"Although it is a one-time operation, it can indeed reach the maximum warp speed of nine levels after activation, that is, more than 1,500 times the speed of light, and it does not take thirty seconds from the start to the launch of the space, and it can reach the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt in the outer solar system...... But until six days ago, I lost all the information, maybe it was a lack of power, maybe there was a problem with the orbit correction device, it could have crashed into some celestial body and caused it to self-destruct, anyway, I would still be able to get all the information that the serpent jade that was launched through this snake jade 'seeing'......"

There are no accidents in the world, there are only the inevitability of fate.

At first, Nayako was just a whim, wanting to see if she could use her own technological means to spy on the state of the old rulers sleeping in outer space. Even the Snake Treasure Jade has already started not to be the main means of detection, but just in case, there is an extra layer of insurance after the other observation and feedback mechanisms fail, so she installed it-

The problem was discovered.

"Just kidding...... Right? The mage girl's smile suddenly became reluctant, and she subconsciously reached out and touched the glittering jade like a snake's pupils. No, no rank? Can't even determine the space? ”

The silver-haired girl nodded, then lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen clearly: "I don't know, I'm also very strange...... But now it seems that I am afraid that before he disappeared, something had changed in that guy's body, but I didn't notice it all along......"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Yu Yan suppressed the horror, doubt, and other emotions in her heart, and then hesitated to say to Naiyazi: "Actually, Naiazi...... When this mission is complete, how about you join my team? ”

“……”

Without any reply, the gentle smile that had been present disappeared all at once. Although she was still talking and laughing and talking happily just now, it was the first time she had seen this kind of expression. That extremely serious momentum made the mage girl swallow her breath.

There was an indescribable uneasiness around the world—a kind of unquiet and terrible enveloping the world.

Maybe a minute passed, maybe an hour passed, and the silver-haired, blue-eyed and faceless god raised his head. She wasn't really a god with a thousand faces, but the nature of the Nyaratotipians still gave her little real appearance, and for her, she could change into whatever she wanted.

However, after teaming up with that youkai, she has maintained this girlish form in a black and white plaid skirt maid outfit, with long dull hair, long hair that shimmers with silver and clear light, and beautiful eyes like emeralds, and has not changed in any way. - If she is still destined to be an indescribable and amorphous existence in the future, as before, then she at least hopes that she thinks that such a form is her true face.

The true face that has been recognized by many people.

"That's not going to work, I'm the only one in the team now, and if I leave, I'm really going to be disbanded...... That's why I'm going to stay here forever. Nayako said in a pretending relaxed tone.

"But, but...... If they really can't come back, never see each other again, do you have to keep sticking to it?! Yu Yan cried out anxiously.

“……！！”

He'll definitely be back!! The words that surged all the way to his throat were held back with all his might.

Naiako nodded gently, inexplicably stood with her hands on her hips and chest, and took a deep breath: "That's exactly what I'm going to do...... If you can, can you please don't shake my faith in the future, okay? She stared straight at the mage girl, her expression was unprecedentedly serious, and there was no shadow of the remnant of the bad character of the beautiful girl before.

Yu Yan replied a little gloomily: "...... Good. ”

"Very well, so let's move on to the next question - now that you've identified the key clues, what are you going to do next?! The night after tomorrow was Walperges' night, and the fool seemed intent on setting off at that time, and we might have to be a little earlier. ”

The mage girl watched Nayako speak and sighed softly.

She forced a smile and said, "We'll set off tomorrow night, and try to find the shining home remedies octahedron directly......"
