Chapter Eighty-Nine: Coward?
A device that involves time? Kyogoku Kukai looked at the orb again.
The Jinguji family has a long history, and although it is not famous, it can be called a top family in terms of power and financial resources.
But even so, can a research institute develop a so-called time machine?
But Kyogoku Kukai is not sure, after all, he himself has crossed over.
He thought for a moment and said to Jinguji Taku, "Uncle Jinguji, how can you be sure that you will succeed?" After all, that's been more than a decade ago. ”
Jinguji Taku stayed in place for a moment, and then he showed a pained look: "I don't know...... I do not know...... But the legend says so, and that's my only chance......"
Legend? Kyogoku Kukai frowned.
There are thousands of legends in the world, most of which are made up by later generations, and it is too fantastical to build a time machine with a legend.
With confusion and longing in his voice, Jinguji Taku raised his head, his pupils as if he had lost focus.
"There's nothing I can do...... I've been doing this for more than 10 years......"
Seeing that Jinguji Taku's spirit was becoming more and more unstable, Kyogoku Sky Sea took a step forward: "Uncle Jinguji, can you tell me what the legend is like?" Perhaps, it is not possible to rush it? ”
Jinguji Takumi seemed to have regained a little more clarity, and he trembled and rummaged through the workbench for a moment, then handed over a tattered piece of parchment.
Taking the parchment, Kyogoku Kukai looked at it carefully.
The parchment looks very old, with thin lines on the mottled and worn edges, and many intricate symbols in the middle, which do not look like the writing that exists in the world today.
In the middle is a drawing of a dismantling of a sphere, which is probably the prototype of the machine in the room.
At the bottom, there is a new line of handwriting, which should be a translation of Jingu Temple Taku.
"Under the dream, the courage of the lover is paved, and the dream is engraved with a thousand times the attachment, and on the rudder of the body, it will take you from the top of the sky, and then take away the day and night of the world......"
The handwriting has been altered, and the last line has been crossed with many red lines.
"You'll see you later."
The last "meeting" stroke even scratched the paper.
"Where did this come from?"
Jinguji Taku swallowed hard: "This is something that has been passed down for a very, very long time, and the person who sold it to me has only cracked part of it, and it took me so long and so many people to finally create this thing." But...... But ......"
"This bunch of garbage! Rubbish! His face suddenly turned hideous, "Finally, there is one thing that I just can't find!" ”
Kyogoku Kukai stepped forward a little more: "Since I haven't found it, let's wait until it's all done, okay, Uncle Jinguji?" ”
Jinguji Takuto laughed miserably: "If you can't find it, you can't find it, I really can't wait, Yuri is getting farther and farther away from me in her dreams, I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, she will really leave me." ”
"But the incomplete product can't take you to Aunt Yuri, and you've been waiting for so many years, so you don't have to rush this moment, right?" Kyogoku Kukai leaned closer, and then he suddenly noticed that Jinguji Taku was wearing a silver-white watch on his hand.
That thing amplifies emotions...... Kyogoku Kukai scolded secretly.
"You don't have to be perfect, do you? It's like a lot of instruments, if you don't have a few small parts, you can run for a while, can't you? How can you know without trying? ”
"Because it's a money scam, and only an idiot like you can dream, you know?" Jinguji Mio said coldly, completely ignoring the despair that overflowed from her father's body, and there was only disdain in her eyes.
"It's not a lie! Mio, you listen to what Dad said, I have confidence, this is definitely not a lie......" Jinguji Takuba's voice was raised, but he quickly lowered it.
"How long are you going to make trouble?" Jinguji Mio was unmoved, and the whole person revealed a cold aura.
"You just have to allow me, allow me to press this button, let me try, okay?" In the face of his daughter, Jingu Temple Taku's tone was humble and flattering.
"Allowed? Do you know what stupid you're doing? Now it's hard enough to hide those old things from you in the family, and now you're going to blow yourself up, me, and the entire research institute, right? ”
"No, no......" Jinguji Taku said this, but there was trepidation and fear in his tone.
"Won't? Jinguji Taku, don't make that gesture for me again! Jinguji Mio's delicate body trembled slightly.
"You've been running away for so many years! Do you understand the meaning of the word responsibility?! ”
"If you want to die, die quietly alone, and I will never stop you when the time comes!"
Jinguji Taku froze in place for a moment, and after half a salary, his raised face was full of bitterness and shame.
"Mio-chan, I know, it's Dad who is sorry for you......"
"Don't call me Mio!"
"Mio ......"
"Shut up!" Jinguji Mio trembled violently, and there were tears in her eyes, "Jinguji Taku, you can't even fulfill the promise left by your mother, and you dare to say that you love her?" ”
"Go to bed early with your poor dreams, you can only live in dreams for the rest of your life."
"Coward."
In the empty laboratory, the air became thinner, and Kyogoku Kukai sighed secretly, he didn't know how the father and daughter got to where they are now, but this situation is no longer something that he can be unsaved by an outsider.
Jinguji Takuji staggered back a few steps, the man's face was covered with tears, and he laughed miserably: "You're right...... I'm a coward......"
"Mio, I'll be nice to you again...... Now, let me go and see Yuri......"
Jinguji Taku pressed the button in front of him hard.
"!" Kyogoku Kukai was too late to stop the other party, so he could only watch as he pressed the button.
"Buzz!" After a short, high-pitched sound, the wires connecting the white spheres shook in unison, and after the electric sparks, the blinding white light instantly lit up throughout the room.
The white light lasted only a few seconds.
Retracting the arm that was covering his eyes, Kyogoku Kukai, who was already lying on the ground ready to meet the impact, immediately looked around.
Nothing has changed.
Jinguji Mio and him got a lot closer, the white light dissipated, and the girl immediately turned her anxious gaze to him, and after seeing that he was fine, she got up from the ground with an iron face.
On the console, Jinguji Taku stared at the white orb with a distracted expression, and he fell to his knees tremblingly, a line of blood slowly flowing down his forehead.
"It's useless...... It didn't work......"
He took off the helmet from his head, and the man's low, hoarse sobs rang out.
Jinguji Mio walked over to the counter with a blushing face, kicked the helmet away, and looked down at her father.
"I'll never forgive you, coward."
As soon as the words fell, a tight cable broke free from the white sphere and threw it towards her from top to bottom!
