Chapter 255: Accelerator

August 16, 339

Finally, the time has come to see the difference, tomorrow.

I've been afraid to keep a diary for the last few months, and even though the "shorthandbook" contract can be written down by me, and theoretically won't be discovered by anyone, who knows, maybe those black faces have some unknown means to discover my actions.

But today, I had to take a risk. Because at worst, maybe tomorrow will be the end of everything, and if I die, at least my diary may be preserved and found by someone else to reveal it.

Summernight's plan was far crazier than I had imagined, and I had guessed something very important wrong!

In the past, I always thought that the inference about "gods" was just a whimsical idea of mine. However, as the project progressed, I realized that it was not my only inference, and that Summernight-sama had already made the same guess, and that was why we were asked to summon so many "heads".

As for the fact that the "gods" will make these newly ascended witches his "pets", it is completely out of her consideration.

Because, she thinks she is the "god".

…… What a madman!

I don't know why she believed this, something that no one in their right mind would believe, given that she seemed to be a clear-headed person...... But it doesn't matter if she's normal, the important thing is that she has the final say, so we can only move the project forward according to her plan.

Three months ago, just as we summoned the "heads" one by one, another team under the command of Lord Summer Night began to study the "heads" at the same time.

Using some unknown means, they were able to crack some of the secrets of the "heads" and prove that they did contain some kind of power, which was essentially the same as the power of the witch's contract.

Natsuya-sama's plan is to activate the powers of these "heads" and connect them to herself, according to her, as a "god", she can regain her power in this way, and once the recovered power reaches a certain point, she will be able to return to the state of "god", at that time, she will become a more advanced life form, and only in this way can she lead us against the "moth plague" that is about to occur in the future.

"Moth plague" is a word coined by Lord Summernight himself, meaning the ultimate calamity caused by a moth beast that can destroy Debussota and all the cities in the Aether Sea.

…… I swear, it's not just me, it's the other people who look weird when they say this.

However, it didn't matter what we thought, because it was Summer Night's Lord who had the final say, and even if she demanded that everyone eat upside down and nibble on bread, we would have to do it.

I......

I...... I think I should hurry up and write down what happened today, it's a mess here, but my mind is just as messy, what happened yesterday...... It's unbelievable, I have to reason......

September 1, 339

The damn censorship was finally over, and for the past two weeks, Black Mask had come over every day, taking me into a room with runes carved into the walls, rummaging over and over all the things I'd been through since I came into contact with Lord Summer Night, not missing a single detail.

I answered everything truthfully, including the journal, and Black Mask found my diary based on my statement - there was nothing problematic in it. Of course not, because from the moment I promised Isom a venture to accept "Ether Exploration" two years ago, I kept two journals at the same time.

During the review, I confessed to Black Mask that I had a habit of keeping a diary, and they asked me where I kept it, and I told them the truth, and they quickly found the diary based on my statement, and the question ended - who would have thought that a normal person would write two diaries at the same time?

I wasn't lying, and I couldn't have lied, or the runes on the walls would have lit up - except that since Black Mask didn't explicitly ask which diary it was, I picked one at random and told them about it, and that one didn't happen to contain any nonsense like speculation about "gods".

Eventually, Black Mask concluded that I was okay and was deeply involved in the project, unaware of the core of the incident, and let me go for the time being.

Another reason, of course, is that they're too busy to take care of a small role like me, and a member of the C-suite is said to be under scrutiny...... To be precise, it was the board of directors of "Aether Exploration" who wanted the other party to be reviewed, but the other party unceremoniously refused, the Great Witch was not a character to be messed with, even in Midtown and Downtown, many people had heard of her name.

Her name is Victoria.

When I got home, I was finally able to sort out what had happened that day—

……

"You've been tossing around in secrecy for so long, and you've ended up with these pipes?" That day, I pointed to the behemoth in front of me and teased the people around me.

"What do you mean by 'these pipes'? This is the 'Andromeda I' accelerator, the work of magic, dynamics, and engineering that has never been seen before, and perhaps never since! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, just keep playing with your "heads". ”

I was talking to a red-haired, two-ponytailed, barren witch who looked younger than me, but everyone was talking privately that she was at least a hundred years old, if not two hundred years old—of course, no one dared to ask her for confirmation, not even Lord Summer Night's age.

Her name is "Bafaria", yes, the "Bafaria" of "Bafaelia Magic Drive Core Manufacturing Plant", LLC.

However, Bafalia is not the current chairman of the "Bafaria" manufacturing plant, she has long since retired and no longer cares about almost anything, and the summer night has somehow invited the great god to come out and build these pipes...... Oh, the accelerator.

Although there is a huge gap between me and her regardless of status or age, after communicating a few times, I found that it was unexpectedly speculative, and the two gradually became friends.

"Hehe, if I hadn't summoned those 'heads', you big guy would be a piece of scrap metal, and what do you mean by 'playing' those heads? I'm researching, researching, okay?! ”

"The last time I bumped into you, I was about to lick it......"

I hurriedly interrupted her: "Ahem...... Anyway, are you really going to throw your 'head' into the tube, I mean, in the accelerator? ”

"That's right." Bafalia was very embarrassed not to describe my perverted behavior that day, "The heads will be accelerated to a very high speed in the accelerator, and then we will guide them to collide with each other, and according to the calculation, their power will be excited in the collision, and they will be guided and connected to the body of Summer Night...... I can only tell you so much, and the more specific ones are confidential, and even if I tell you, you won't understand. ”

"Okay......"

I still think it's a little weird, but what I think doesn't matter. Under the direction of Bafalia, the staff quickly placed 144 heads in the dispensers, 12 in each dispenser, a total of 12 dispensers, arranged at equal intervals next to the pipes of the annular accelerator, one at 30 degrees.

Before the accelerator was launched, we saw another big shot, Victoria, who for some reason also came.

However, after only a few minutes, we learned the reason for Victoria's appearance - in order to ensure the success of this experiment, she was going to use the "Wish" contract, which was "Experiment Successful" at the price: she would lose all the witch contracts she had signed so far.
