ACT076: The Mystery of the Crossing
Weiss never expected that he would be tempted out with a can, and Edward also swept away the face of the amiable elder before, and his whole face instantly turned cold.
"Maybe it's because the old man's name is too loud, and there are always so many 'fellow villagers' who come to me every once in a while, but they always feel that they can have the 'protagonist halo' when they cross it, and they are all pretentious to death, and they want to play with Lao Tzu as an NPC. Hmph, you kid don't want to get some out of me for nothing, do you?"
In Edward's view, the traverser can be said to be "ten people and nine wastes", don't look at many celebrities in history, but there are more unlucky people who can't survive for 7 days in another world. Edward still remembers a ** he saw, the other party crossed and landed directly in the big city, which should have been a thing to be thankful for, but this thing doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and all kinds of tricks are endless.
The most heartless thing the other party has ever done was to meet a couple on the street one day. The man's clothes are good, and he looks like a rich child, while the woman is awkward because of a little thing, but after being seen by the traverser, her brain is made up to become a "rich second generation bullying men and women", and then wants to be a "hero to save beauty" on the street, and finally was beaten by the "little couple" who jointly exercised the right of self-defense.
The first time he saw Weiss, Edward became suspicious just by the look in his eyes when he looked at the model, and then tested it with a can, and Weiss was unaware that the other party had discovered his true identity for a while. Although the old man is not disgusted with his fellow earthlings, he has no good impression if he has too much, and Weiss suddenly appeared around his granddaughter, so he naturally has some misunderstandings about him.
Don't look at Edward as just an ordinary person, but Weiss doesn't dare to act rashly in front of him, Maggie behind him reveals a master's demeanor, and the owner of the chess piece must not judge the strength or weakness by age. It's true that these people don't like to move when they're old, but when they really fight, the young people may not be able to withstand it! So Wess groaned slightly, and really explained the whole story of the matter in a minute.
"Actually...... This is a misunderstanding, my companion and I were traveling, because we accepted the employment of the National University North District Student Union, so Ling Lan and Wendy had a fight in your school's inverted tower competition, but both sides were not happy, so they met again at the ceremony today, so we were going to come again, and the venue was offered by Miss Litis, in fact, we didn't plan to stay in Hitchgannas for long at all, let alone come and disturb your old man, I'm really sorry that something happened suddenly today...... Finished!"
“...... Boy, I'll make up for you for two more minutes, you say slow down. ”
"This is a misunderstanding, my companion and I were traveling, because we were hired by the National University North District Student Union, so Ling Lan and Wendy had a fight in your school's tower downfall competition, but neither side had enough fun, so they agreed to fight again. I met at the ceremony today, so I was going to do it again, and Miss Litis offered to provide the venue. In fact, we didn't plan to stay in Hitchgannath for long, and we didn't want to come and disturb your old man, so we're so sorry that something happened today!"
“......”
After staring at the good "mouth work" of Weiss for a while, Edward and Maggie beside him "made contact" with their eyes and nodded to each other. Based on their experience in knowing people, it was initially judged that Weiss was not lying, so his face softened a little, but this was only the appearance, and the two still did not take Weiss lightly.
"Come with me, I have something to ask you. ”
Motioning for Weiss to come with him, Edward and Maggie led him into a nearby cabin, where Edward took out a notebook and pen from the cabinet and began his "interrogation" of Weiss.
"Don't be nervous, this is a little personal hobby of the old man. I'm gathering information about the crossing, so I need you to cooperate with my investigation, and it's directly related to what kind of treatment you can get from me, so you'd better answer seriously. There's one more thing I need you to keep in mind, and that's the idea of not beating the old man and granddaughter, you know?"
glaring at Weiss viciously, old Edward threatened him word by word.
"Uh...... Did you misunderstand something, but I didn't ......"
"Pull it down, followed by three girls, and then you tell me you're a herbivore, who are you kidding!?"
"Ahem, sir, you're off topic. ”
After a slight reminder of Edward, who was a little out of shape, the old man returned to the topic.
"You...... I think it's earthling, right? But what's the matter with your appearance? Who are you from? I mean the other side of the earth. ”
"I don't know very well, when I first arrived here, I was still a baby, and now 16 years have passed, and my memory seems to be a little confused, and I can't remember a lot of things before the crossing! But before the crossing, it should be Chinese, and it was from the north, I can be sure of that." Weiss honestly replied.
"That's strange, if what you said is true, then you are the first case of 'soul piercing' confirmed by the old man, in these cases I have collected, everyone else is ** crossing, and unless the head hits the ground, there is generally no memory problem, so I'm starting to be a little interested now, how did you get here!"
According to the descriptions of many travelers and Edward's personal experience, the process of crossing is as simple as inadvertently walking through an invisible "door", and by the time he reacts, he is no longer in the original world. However, when Edward was about to gather further information, he found out that Weiss didn't know anything, and he didn't even know his original name, except that he might be from Earth in 2012.
"Hey, aren't you kid really kidding me?"
"This is a question that has been bothering me for 16 years, and believe me, I want to know the answer more than you do!"
“...... Okay, old man, believe you. I have surveyed more than 3,000 time-travelers over the past few decades, and these people are all of different ages, surnames, occupations, and surnames, and the only thing they have in common is that they all once believed in the existence of another world, and perhaps it was this kind of thinking and small probability that sent them into this world, so there are a lot of novels in the Celestial Empire!"
Handing over the notebook to Maggie to put away, Edward sat on the sofa in a "rogue boss" posture, looking up and down with a frown, looking at Weiss uncomfortably.
Wess Voice: Nima, this old ghost can't be gay, is it?
Edward's heart: Grandma has legs, why didn't Lao Tzu become a handsome guy when he crossed over?
"That...... Can I go back to the arena? I'm a little worried about my companion, and what I just said, can you please keep it a secret?"
"Yes, what I want to ask has already been asked, you can rest assured, as long as you know how to measure, the old man will not embarrass you. ”
got up and left the hut where they were talking, Weiss rushed back to the martial arts arena as if he was running away, Ling Lan and Wendy were still fighting very well on the field, but looking at the expressions of the two "Yuyue ♀", I thought that this should be the sympathy between the martial artists. As soon as he came back, Adele noticed that his face was different, and his head was full of sweat, so she hurriedly ran over to ask with concern.
"Weiss, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just had a face-to-face conversation with a celebrity, and I was a little nervous. ”
"Not really, right? I remember you didn't sweat so much when you came face to face with that Ouma. ”
"The aura of a politician cannot be compared with this sincere person. ”
Touching the cold sweat on his head, Wei Sixin said that when Ling Lan finished the competition, he had to leave this place of right and wrong immediately. In case Gandalf, who had the face of "Leonida", suddenly changed his mind and pulled out an AK47 and said that he was going to kill him, then he would have to give an account of his life here.
"Adele, when do you think they'll be done?"
"I don't know, both of them are in good shape, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to fight for more than 1 hour, but over there, I think if I don't care about it, maybe a second battlefield will be opened." ”
Stretched out his hand and pointed to Lena and Lytis not far away, although the two girls sat there without making a sound, as long as it was not dull enough to a certain amount of wood, even the blind could feel the "fighting spirit" that continued to rise. God knows how far these two people don't match, just staring at them can go this way.
"Is there a way to stop it?" asked Weiss in a low voice.
"Stop these two on the field, I can try, these two here, you better ask for another master!"
ps: Regarding the reason for the crossing, this setting is interoperable with "Cute Military Machine Girl", and the other time-travelers here are all from before the start of the "human game" on the earth, and only a "very small part" comes from after the "Australian Campaign", and they will play a role in the link between the two stories.
