Vaguely began to have some consciousness, drowsiness gradually began to disappear, although there was nothing in the mind but drowsiness for some reason never came back, the whole body was very strong, I felt that I could get up and kill a goose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qin En, who was beginning to wake up, looked out the window: It was still pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything, and the clear starry sky in Gensokyo didn't see any signs, and Qin En didn't have the ability to judge the time by relying on the stars outside.

"I'm ...... No, I've only slept for thirty minutes......"

If the time of the mobile phone has not been adjusted by someone to prank, it is true, Qin En has only been lying down for only thirty minutes, even if he sits in front of the computer and writes articles, he can't write much.

It is difficult to feel satisfied, and for people with lazy personalities, it is a time when there is a question mark over whether they can even sleep enough in the afternoon.

"Strange. ”

Qin En muttered in wonder, although he has always had a very light sleep quality, and he will wake up at the slightest movement, but if there is no sound to make noise, even if it is a nap, he will sleep for a long time.

There are so many things tossed during the day, and you shouldn't wake up according to normal circumstances, why don't you feel sleepy after sleeping for less than 30 minutes?

.................. And, what's the deal with the thirst of the mouth?

The mouth is thirsty, but the body follows its instinctive actions to find the source of water.

"Ah, I forgot...... There was no water in the room. ”

The hostess said that the drinking water was on the ground floor, only the first floor had a clean water source. As for the water source of the toilet in the room, I'm sorry, Qin En is not interested in drinking dirty water, and the simple advice given by the proprietress of the Gensokyo Inn Qin En will definitely not deny and question it.

Qin En found a fairly clean water cup on the table, and walked down the stairs directly in the dark without even turning on the light, his vision had long been accustomed to the dark, and he arrived all the way to the silent hall on the first floor.

The proprietress had already fallen asleep, and there was no one on duty, and it seemed that the woman who was the part-time innkeeper and the charter lady was probably impatient, otherwise she would not be as vigilant as she is now.

But it doesn't have anything to do with me......

After Qin En walked to the first floor, he saw the appliance connected to the water purification facility, with two buttons for cold water and hot water, first pick up the cup in his hand and turn on the hot water, and pour cold water when the water capacity is about half.

Although there was a possibility of stomach trouble, Qin En preferred to drink a little more refreshingly than to hold hot water and blow it on his dry throat for several minutes, he had never had much patience.

The water temperature is good, it is much more comfortable in the throat, and the unexpected sweet taste reverberates in the mouth, but the bad thing is ...... Qin En felt that he didn't feel much sleepiness in the first place, let alone which universe he flew to.

"Forget it, whether you can fall asleep or not, let's go back and lie down first. "There's nothing to do at night, so you can't call Kurumi out and let her solve the problem of her can't sleep, right?

However, when Qin En took the first step forward after drinking the water, Qin En's guardian spirit suddenly appeared beside Qin En, preventing him from continuing to climb the steps, she put it to Qin En's ear and whispered a word.

"Do you remember what happened when you first woke up in the middle of the night?"

“！”

One sentence, one sentence made the careless Qin En's heart twitch in an instant.

Remember, remember, why don't you remember? Qin En remembered that it was not long after he came to Gensokyo, he was attacked by a vampire, and a vampire hid in the crack of the wall to attract his attention.

Before that, Qin En had symptoms and was thirsty...... No, it's not right to say that you're thirsty, strictly speaking, your body is supported by an inexplicable premonition, and you have to walk around the room and force yourself to be nervous.

I see, Qin En understood what he woke up in the middle of the night - his instinct sensed the crisis and woke up when he realized something wrong.

Crazy San silently picked up the disposable water cup, filled it with a cup of cold water and poured it into the plant at his feet, the time ability made the plant jump and absorb the process directly After absorbing the water, the plant potted plant actually died under Qin En's terrifying gaze!

The time state of the jump is only after absorbing water, if it is a normal water source, the plant will not die, and the plant actually dies after absorbing the water, it means that there must be a problem with the water!

"Damn, this water ****** poisonous!"

Poisoned!

"I'm going to let your body time flow backwards to the way it was before drinking water. ”

"Huh!" Qin En was shocked, it sounded like a cow.

"It may be a little uncomfortable, bear with me. ”

Then Qin En felt that his brain fell into a blank in an instant, and his body began to 'reverse current' with time, and the water that had been absorbed into his body began to be withdrawn from his body and returned to his throat, Qin En quickly turned around and lay in the corner and opened his mouth to retch, and the water source flowed out of his mouth. Literally, it's just a simple time regression: the energy or similar things integrated into the body are discharged into the state before they are absorbed, but in fact, this law is completely contrary to the rules of nature and the world, which brings great pressure to Qin En's body.

Qin En's body flowed backwards to the state before drinking water, and his mouth was still thirsty, but he never dared to drink water again, and he didn't have that thought in his mind, he just rested in rough clothes...... When the individual's time is against the laws of the entire universe, that feeling is not the pain that words can describe: and the reversal is not the reversal of thinking, Qin En's mind and thinking circuit are still in the state after drinking water, and the state of contradiction and non-compliance makes his body have a sense of incongruity, and it takes a long time to get used to it.

“...... Give me, stealth. ”

After recovering her state, Qin En's first order was to let her hide her figure.

The atmosphere in the hotel is very wrong, and in this case, it is better for Kurumi to remain invisible, and let her be on guard at all times and at all times by her side...... Beware of enemy approaches and attacks, and take the initiative to attack if necessary.

"Bastard, even if I'm really poisoned in the future, I'm not going to do that...... Life is better than death, and in that moment, I felt like I was on a roller coaster, damn it. ”

Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Qin En looked at his room with vigilance, he didn't plan to go back, now his mind was full of thoughts of leaving this hotel, and when he came to the door on the first floor to prepare, he saw that the door was locked, not the inside and outside locks

Keys required...... Opening the door directly and rudely is equivalent to telling others that I am here, Qin En remembers where the proprietress is in the room, and the door behind the counter is, whether it is forced or stolen, you have to take out the key............

"Hey, I'm not going to do that. ”

That's a normal person's way, Qin En doesn't need to learn at all, the mercury time starts quickly, and the 30 seconds stop giving Qin En enough time, no matter where the person who makes him uneasy, it is impossible to make an action.

Qin En took out his revolver: the revolver he carried with him, aimed at the lock of the gate was to fire several shots in a row, and after the bullet successfully broke the lock of the gate, Qin En directly pushed the gate open, passed through the courtyard of the hotel and walked directly towards the door.

Anyway, I'm out!

Thirty seconds is actually not a long time, breaking the door lock wastes a lot of time, and walking to the door coincides with the time to return to normal.

However, the moment Qin En pushed open the door of the courtyard outside the hotel, a silver light instantly hit Qin En's pupils.

The swift speed didn't make Qin En react at all, but fortunately, the guardian elf activated the bullet time on its own to slow down the attack, and Qin En quickly reacted to dodge the attack and avoid the fate of being shot in the head.

Turning around and quickly pulling away the distance, Qin En could see clearly what was attacking him.

A doll holding a knight's spear with a delicate face that is very cute and reminiscent of a living person...... I can't believe it, it's a little thing the size of a palm holding a sharp knight's gun.

From Qin En's point of view, this is more like an awl.

But whether it's a knight's spear or an awl, as long as there is no help from Kurumi just now, this thing will directly insert into Qin En's eyes and drill a hole in his skull!

This is a trap, and the other party has already expected to escape from the hotel!

There was a breath from the hotel behind him, a very bad aura, and at this moment, Qin En turned the direction of the revolver that had already been reloaded.

The enemy who shot had been completely locked, and Kurumi had already told Qin En his whereabouts, and all Qin En had to do was shoot: leave only one pistol bullet and shoot the rest.

The little puppet holding the knight's spear floated between Qin En and the person and shot the bullets with the knight gun in her hand, the knight gun in her hand was hard against bullets and did not bend at all, and the small knight spear with the expected strength and density was extremely agile in the puppet's hand, as if it was just a short sword and a short knife. Several bullets did not hit the man standing at the door, but deflected to the plaque and chandelier hanging in the hotel, and Qin En had no bullets to shoot except for the last bullet left.

Alice Margot Royd...... Sure enough, it's you. The figure became clear, and after seeing her face clearly, Qin En called out her name in a low voice

It's quite unexpected to say that it's unexpected, but it's not really unexpected. Alice, the puppeteer Alice who met during the day, the puppet who attacked Qin En returned to her like a guard after Alice appeared.

Behind Alice, about seven more dolls appeared, all of them puppet warriors with knightly spears, and their delicate faces had serious expressions, as if they were alive.

Now, everything has become clear, and Qin En, who was in contact with these strange things today, quickly sorted it out.

"You did the right thing, right? You caused me to fall when we first met, right? The wound on my leg and the inability to move are all done by you. ”

"When we met, you saw that the doll I was holding was the casting material, and when you turned around and walked towards the slope, I prepared the curse ritual...... Well, it's kind of funny to say, it's just a curse of nailing the doll to the trunk of a tree with a hammer and an awl. ”

Alice is actually unexpectedly talkative, she calmly appears in Qin En's field of vision, and tells him the cause and effect of his injury.

Hearing the reason for his injury, Qin En grinned and sneered: "It's like a trick like a resentful woman in the deep palace." ”

Alice was not swayed by Qin En's ridicule, she said calmly: "But it is very effective, it can indeed hurt people." ”

It's ridiculous, but it's not the same if it hurts people.

It's a joke that doesn't work, and if it works, it's a little chilling.......

"Originally, when the puppet cursed you, you should have died!, but surprisingly, my puppet didn't have much damage to your curse, is it because of your own strange abilities? Or is my curse technology immature? or...... Is it because the puppet I made is too different from you? In fact, you only hurt your legs, and I was going to make you faint with a headache. ”

“.................. That's when you started preparing to hurt me, right?"

"Although the curse failed, I came to you later to see your state, huh...... Even if you don't faint, it's okay, it's hard for you to walk under the influence of the curse, so I want to solve you halfway...... Can...... Hehehehehe. ”

Alice suddenly laughed, her beautiful face was so beautiful to smile, but Qin En didn't have the idea to appreciate it at all, he could only feel the cold that made people's whole body freeze and the deep cruelty of scheming.

"I really don't know if you should say that you are lucky or that God is against me, the appearance of the black and white magic envoy is an accident, if she didn't come out, you would have died in the enchanted forest, and then I plan to use the time when the Eternal Pavilion is not open to kill you in the fog because of the appearance of the hermit in the bamboo forest...... Later, after the separation, I have been waiting for you to come out in the lost bamboo forest, but you didn't show up until it got dark...... You have escaped the killing machine many times, and when I saw you again, I actually met under the watchful eyes of the guards and humans in the world, and I didn't have a chance to plot against you for a whole day. ”

Chance, under Alice's description, Qin En suddenly knew how thrilling he had been during the day, if it weren't for Fujiwara Meihong and Misty Rain Marisa appearing at that time, Qin En probably wouldn't know where to lie there.

Along the way, she calculated and planned so much, even if she failed all day, it didn't break Alice and make her stop looking for trouble...... The deep resentment and attachment make people shudder.

“............ I didn't offend you, did I? Alice...... We've only met for the first time today, right? Why would you want to kill me?"

"Reason...... What?"

As she spoke, Alice moved her fingers, and the puppet immediately formed a formation in front of Alice to protect her.

"This sentence is the only thing I guessed correctly today, so I'll answer your boring question - do you need a reason for a capable person to kill an incompetent person in Gensokyo?"

Qin En frowned and said, Alice did not waver at all when she answered just now, as if she was saying the truth that the sun rises in the east, and a simple sentence exposed her cruel side.

"You're a real villain. ”

After speaking, Qin En quickly raised the gun in his hand: after the shot, the puppets subconsciously defended according to Alice's instructions, but they didn't expect that the bullet didn't want to hit Alice or one of the puppets at all, the bullet was aimed directly at the direction of Alice's head, and after it hit, the plaque on it made a squeaky sound, and then the huge plaque smashed towards Alice.

Alice didn't retreat or move forward, but just controlled the two puppets to rush towards the huge plaque, and easily cut those plaques into pieces with a few clicks, the puppets raised small shields to help Alice block the falling pieces, under the protection of the puppets, Alice walked a few steps forward to the courtyard, and the doorway behind her, which was eroded by Qin En's bullets with time poison bombs, had all collapsed.

"You didn't drink the poisoned water, it seems that I want to re-evaluate you, you are not only a very lucky person, but also a very wary person, and even the hint of magic has no effect. ”

"No, you've been successful in poisoning, it's just that I drank it and spit it out. ”

Qin En showed a smug smile, sure enough, Alice deliberately delayed with herself just to wait for the poison to attack, but it was a pity that ...... The poison had already been excreted, which Alice did not expect.

Reload the bullets when Alice and her puppets protect herself, and the poison of time is also given to the projectiles, but the knight guns of those dolls are not affected, and it seems that the material will not be eroded by time.

However, the battle with Alice has made a lot of noise, but neither Renori nor the hotel has reacted, which makes people feel extremely weird.

"I have a question, since you have the ability to sneak into the hotel and poison me silently, why don't you consider killing me while I sleep?"

"The soundproofing of this hotel is not very good, I am not very good at sneaking in, and I was discovered by the hostess of the hotel not long after I came in......"

"So...... Where's the hostess?"

"Of course it's solved. ”

Alice replied with a look of course, and she raised her foot and deliberately ran over it for a while, as if to crush something intangible.

"You're still stalling, you're wondering why the garrison hasn't reacted until now...... Right?"

Alice saw through what Qin En was thinking, and her calm and confident look made Qin En realize that the situation was no longer good: he deliberately made the movement of the hotel collapse completely in vain, because this person was afraid.

"For I have hypnotized all the people by magic, prolonging their dreams, and never waking up until the sun rises. ”

"What are you talking nonsense......!"

"Just now...... During the time I was talking to you, I sang the magic. Alice said with a weird smile.

“！”

Just now?

Talking about this time?

Qin En subconsciously looked at his feet and found that there were some weird red magic patterns on the ground where there was originally nothing.

Alice-Margot Royd wasn't just waiting for Qin En's poison to attack at all, she was chanting a large magic while talking to Qin En, so that the entire city of people who were asleep couldn't wake up!

Isn't it good that she deliberately tossed so much movement just now? Alice, she wasted so much time, it turned out that she was casting spells! No wonder she was so kind to tell herself!

"Now, no one will come to help you, no one will come to save you, this is already a dead city - lucky Mr. Qin En, you can die here for me. ”

The puppets had already begun to disperse and sprint towards Qin En to approach him, the cold light of the knight's spear made people's hearts palpitate, Qin En looked at the approaching puppet in shock, and the panic on his face was not concealed at all.

A trace of impatience and boredom appeared in Alice's eyebrows, Qin En's timidity and cowardice made Alice feel very boring, and there was a trace of slackness and loopholes in her mind at this time, but this loophole was keenly perceived.

Now is the time!

"Hahaha, this opportunity master has been waiting for a long time - mercury!"

Time, stop, the whole world fell into black and white, Qin En started the mercury first and then let out his arrogant shout, so at this moment, Alice's impatient expression was still on his face.

All stopped, the puppets' movements stopped moving, Qin En calmly walked among the dolls and carefully studied their expressions, it was really lifelike...... It doesn't look like a doll at all.

He jumped over the formation of the puppets' attack, and Kurumi was behind Qin En, and she shattered the body of a puppet with every shot, the flintlock pistol with the poison of time could quickly corrode these puppets that needed careful maintenance, and the shiny knight spears in their hands fell directly to the ground, and the dolls were torn apart under the gunfire.

Qin En slowly walked past the doll to Alice, who looked frozen, Qin En playfully hooked the chin of this beautiful girl, and said in a flirtatious tone: "You are talking nonsense with me, why don't I talk nonsense with you to delay time, I just ran out of mercury time, I am impatient with the long CD and so on!"

Qin En aimed the gun at Alice's eyes, gave the girl a flying kiss, and said with a ruffian smile, "Go to hell, poisonous woman." ”

The projectile shattered Alice's head, and the blood mist burst out from Alice's skull in an instant, Qin En aimed at her head and fired several shots to wipe out the entire pistol magazine before stopping, the girl who was shot in the head at close range was no longer human, and her head was full of holes like that Saqima.

Bullets reload while time is restored...... Everything is starting to return to the way it was.

"Ha, it's easier than kissing with Walnut. ”

Qin En stood in front of Alice's corpse, blowing the non-existent green smoke on the pistol, and posed triumphantly.

But as soon as the words fell, a strange purple rune suddenly appeared on Alice's corpse, Qin En looked at her corpse in a daze and didn't understand what was going on, but Shizaki Kurumi appeared in an instant and grabbed Qin En and stepped back.

Then, with Alice's 'corpse' as the center, a high-energy explosion leveled everything in the vicinity of ten meters, and Qin En stood ten meters away and looked at the small mushroom cloud that exploded, dripping with cold sweat.

In less than a second, the corpse explosion gave Qin En no chance to use the ghost step or the clone, he looked at his guardian elf gratefully, if it weren't for the help of the mad three just now, he wouldn't have been able to escape the explosion at all.

"Your performance has been truly amazing. ”

The real Alice came out, unscathed, not to mention a gunshot wound, and even her clothes were very neat.

"You're the one who really surprised me...... I didn't expect that what I hit was just a fake. ”

"The commander-in-chief of the three armies will prepare the Shadow Warrior in case of unpreparedness, and I also have a stand-in to bear the attack in my place. ”

The secret is solved, and it's just a stand-in puppet trick......

Then, Alice glanced at Kurumi and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a partner." ”

"Of course, my partner is not one of those gloomy and silent puppets, but we are the closest partners. ”

After speaking, Qin En stretched out his hand, and the two of them didn't look at it, perfect and coordinated with each other, without the slightest jerky high-five, and Alice frowned.

"Originally, I was going to solve the problem of saving the most effort from you silently, but it seems that I was wrong, I thought it would be easier to rely on the plan, but I didn't expect this to waste a lot of brain cells, it seems that the winner is divided, and it really depends on a head-on battle. ”

"Aha, are you going to start fighting at this time, are you so afraid of me?" Qin En said defiantly.

"Scared? no, how can it be scared...... Since you didn't fall under the plot, it means that you also have good skills...... Come on, lucky Mr. Qin En, the brain-wielding warm-up is over, let's see the real chapter under our hands. ”

More than 20 figures appear next to Alice.

"Let me see if I and my puppet are stronger, or if you and your partner are stronger. ”

"What else do you need to say?"

Qin En smiled contemptuously, and high-fived Shi Qi up and down, and the movements were tacitly coordinated perfectly.

"Of course it's my partner! Okay, let's get rid of them quickly! I'm not very good at fighting, please. ”

After that, Qin En stood behind Kurumi, and the time elf Shizaki Kurumi took out two guns and confronted the puppets with more than twenty people.
