Chapter 3: Ivas Moriarty

Now, the Shadow Fiend summoned from the ritual is in the shadow beneath Ivus's feet.

He was in a wheelchair, not because his legs were sacrificed to immobility. Rather, if he stepped on his own shadow, he would immediately awaken the Shadow Demon and materialize it.

This wheelchair was asked for by the old butler when Ivas woke up.

Because right now, his [Shadow Affinity] level is too low.

Shadow Demon is a high-level demon, and Shadow Affinity can only control Shadow Demon at least level 3, and point to level 5 to merge with Shadow Demon. Until then, he could only draw a portion of Shadow Fiend's power to use his Abilities. Although the Shadow Fiend will not harm himself, or even protect Ivas based on the contract, he is completely unable to restrain the Shadow Fiend's actions.

From this point of view, a demon scholar who contracts a low-level demon is like a dog walking; And Ivas belongs to dog walking.

How to seal the Shadow Fiend is not something that "Aihuas" should know. It's memories from another world.

Evas Moriarty, Pathway, Demon Scholar, Kingdom of Avalon...... This is the world of an MMORPG called Ouroboros Ring.

The game is published and operated by their company, Lookless God Studios.

It is said that it is "their company", but in fact, the output of this game has nothing to do with Ivus, because he is not a staff member of the R&D post. He is a new HR manager, commonly known as HR.

Three years ago, Eivers resigned and lost his job. Because I was stuck in the non-compete agreement, I couldn't find a job with my peers...... was dragged into the pit by his best brother.

That brother is the company's game copywriter, Amway, who is turning over and over in his ears every day, talking about the many easter eggs he designed.

In the end, Ivus was overwhelmed, and at the same time, he was caught up with the game shortage and contacted and played for a while, and it felt like a good game. The downside is that it's quite liver - but it's a good way to spend time at home when you're unemployed.

Later, I heard that "Lookless God Studio" was recruiting HR, and it happened that Aihuasi had also passed the restriction period, so he directly submitted his resume for an interview.

As a result, he was still handing over work, and because he crossed the street on his way to work to return news, he was sent to this world by a mud truck.

…… Knowing that he would travel into this world, he asked more about the company's internal information, or went to the forum to read more plot discussion posts!

This is the biggest misstep.

Because Ivas is essentially the kind of liver-exploding player who doesn't read the plot much and doesn't care much about the characters.

Although I usually know a lot of hidden settings, character backgrounds and future main stories that ordinary players don't know when I chat with friends, I also cloud some early plots from the group. But he has never cared about the main line, but the branch lines of various characters are much more interesting.

Aihuasi entered the pit from the 3.0 era, and just after the first group boss, he ate the main line book and completed all the old main lines until the beginning of 3.0 with one click. Not only that, but on the way to level up, and the plot animations that can be jumped at the beginning of the dungeon are all jumped. I really can't skip it.,It's also a fast-forward of the left button, left button, and left button.

As a result, Ivas can't remember what the early main line was. On the contrary, he was more impressed by the later plot, because the plot performance of the main line group was quite good. Even if you don't look carefully at the previous plot, you can guess through the unskippable group plot performance.

At the very beginning of the main story, "Evas" appears.

In the winter of 1890, he was kidnapped and taken to the altar for a ceremony. The "player" passing by inadvertently breaks the barrier that drives passers-by and sees the cruel sacrifice scene. In an emergency, he pretended that he had reported it to the Inspectorate and was leading the way for the griffon knights of the Inspectorate, and directly scared the two men away.

Ivus is rescued from the ritual altar by the "player", and then hosts the player to his home to eat, drink, and rest because his wallet and ID have been stolen.

After that, Ihuas will enroll in school with the player, grow up together, and continue to investigate the case together. It turned out that the case was getting bigger and bigger, and even involved the high-level of the kingdom......

And because Ivus is in mortal danger, his sister Yulia suddenly loses control - catalyzed by the blood crystal, she becomes the "Phantom Flame Butterfly", the first eight-person boss.

That was also the first illusion the player saw in the game.

Her body curled up in a ball, encased in an amber-transparent butterfly's chest and abdomen, protected by wings made of flame spirits. Because of the low level of the dungeon, this eight-person book is the easiest to get in the daily random book, and it takes an average of three or four times a week to fight Yulia.

Because Yulia doesn't want to hurt Ivus, it's an entry-level boss with no mechanics and no desire to attack, and it's a classic entry-level boss with no mechanics and no desire to attack. Even if the level is high enough, you can barely pass the level by playing the main body without caring about the mechanics all the time. If you eat the main story after defeating Yulia, you will get some cosmetic rewards.

In the end, she was killed, lost most of her spirituality, and shrunk into a flame butterfly, and was contracted by Ivas to become his first demon. In this way, Evas preserves her spirituality, hoping to find the legendary master "Wormpo" who has mastered the resurrection technique to resurrect her.

Until the 5.0 version of the main story, Ivus mastered new abilities. Able to seal the illusion that is theoretically impossible to kill into the card and arm himself as a strengthening equipment to make demons, Evas finally obtained a great enhancement that belongs to him.

Then he didn't accompany the players to play the book.,But it became a plot killing method to end the phantom BOSS in CG.。

“…… Brother? ”

Just as Ivas was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a childish voice sound.

He was startled.

Haina, who was excitedly chatting with Ivas about "Sherlock and Reasoning", heard that voice and subconsciously turned around.

I saw a little girl standing silently at the door.

"When you woke up yesterday, I was sleeping. When I woke up, you fell asleep again. ”

She had just woken up in the evening, and said with some grievances and some astonishment: "Brother, why are you ...... Wheelchair fitted?

"—who is she?"

She wears the same plain white plush pajamas as Ivus, with shoulder-length silver hair and crimson pupils reminiscent of roses. Her facial features are delicate and feminine, reminiscent of a white cat or a rabbit. It's a completely different type from the brilliant handsomeness of Ivas. Whether it is eyebrows, eyes, hair color, or eye color, it is enough to prove that the two are not related by blood.

If you want to talk about the similarity between the two, it is the kind of sickness that is inherited in the same vein.

She has a similar sense of illness to Ivus, and is more pronounced than Ivus.

The girl's skin is somewhat sickly, almost transparent, fair. When she stands in the doorway, she will unconsciously hold on to the door frame on one side, and tilt her body slightly to deflect the center of gravity and reduce the pressure of standing upright.

- What a cute girl!

Hayna's eyes lit up.

It's like seeing a cute pet, she wants to be close to it, but she's worried that she'll scare the other person.

"It's alright, Yuri. It's only temporary. This is Senior Sister Haina, and she has something to ask. ”

Ivas laughed, calling the girl's nickname as if she remembered it. But for some reason, I always feel that this title is a bit jerky.

It's like calling each other's nicknames instead of their names for a long time. One day, when you suddenly call the other person's full name, it always feels as if it is not the other person's name.

After a moment of trance, he opened his arms slightly towards Yulia: "Come and hug." ”

“…… Well. ”

Yulia walked over obediently. It's like waking up from a sleep, and there's a sense of powerlessness that makes you worry about whether you'll fall.

While hugging Yulia, who was snuggling up, Ivus suddenly fell into a trance for a moment.

At this moment, he was hugging Yulia, but it seemed to be another "Aihuas".

The memory of "Aihuas", who is the "Ehuas" of this world, suddenly feels some kind of fear after receiving the prophecy of the future.

Yulia will turn into a monster...... Then, will die.

- In this moment, Ivus's memory overlaps with reality. Completely fused together, the memories of the double life became clear. It's like a person who is asleep and suddenly wakes up from a nightmare, and then finally distinguishes whether he is in a dream or not.

Two days after coming to this world, he finally realized that he was not dreaming. It's really crossed.

came to another world.

However, he is also clearly aware of another thing - that is, the plot is different now.

In the game, Ivus definitely doesn't have a contract Shadow Fiend.

Because this time the ritual was interrupted by the player, it didn't succeed at all.

And this probably means that there is no "player character" in this world.

In an epic fantasy game, the player usually takes on the role of a one-time savior; And if the game is an online game, then the player is usually the savior of persistence, high frequency, and low fault tolerance.

Every major version, you have to save the world once.

…… Then he's in trouble.

Because the "player" is a descendant of the [Snake Father], who once controlled the "Way of Transcendence" and was one of the Nine Pillar Gods. Because of this, players can have "experience points" and "levels", and they can continue to grow stronger without barriers or regardless of talent. In terms of setting, in fact, the player did not arrange the book, let alone form a team, but defeated all the enemies alone.

But Aihuas, although he is also an important role, the world-destroying disasters such as "Fallen Celestial", "Calamity Demon Dragon", and "Shadow of Avalon" are not "strong" in the conventional sense.

Aihuas knew that the Kingdom of Avalon was about to have an accident in half a year.

Although he doesn't remember the main story clearly, at least he remembers the key node of the version change.

What he said to Haina was not a lie. The kingdom of Avalon will indeed suffer a catastrophe in more than half a year, and it is closely related to the demonic ritual events they are experiencing now, which no big man cares about.

But now, Ivas has a chance to change all that.

Change everything –

He subconsciously hugged Yulia tightly, and the girl was keenly aware of something: "Brother? ”

“…… It's nothing. ”

Ivas smiled calmly: "It's just that I had a long dream yesterday...... I dreamed that Yulia had left me. ”

However, at this time, he suddenly felt Yulia's body in his arms suddenly tighten.

…… Well?

Evas's heart moved slightly.

As if to cover up, Yulia suddenly asked, "Brother's wheelchair...... How long do you want to sit? ”

"Probably...... A year, right? ”

Ivas said, looking at the old butler on the side, "That's what the doctor said, right?" ”

"Yes, Master Aivus."

The old housekeeper asked without hesitation, "So, do you want to take a year off from school?" Anyway, it's been a three-month hiatus. ”

This is a lie.

And on both sides.

There was no doctor who put Ivas in a wheelchair, and this was Ivace's own request. Demon scholars who have contracted Shadow Demons will use this method to seal Shadow Demons when they are not yet able to control them.

In addition to being in a wheelchair when moving, try to avoid strenuous movements and slow down your movements to lower your heart rate - this is a regular means of suppressing demons.

In addition to this, you can also take some drugs that suppress your heart rate to put the sealed demons in your body to sleep.

"No," said Ewass, "I'll go back to school when this incident is resolved." ”

“…… This incident resolved? ”

Hentai realized something in hindsight.

She instinctively realized that it was at that moment that ...... Eivers's attitude seems to have changed.

It's a feeling that she's quite familiar with.

Haina, who was not sensible in her freshman year, thought that she was still a genius in that remote town. As a result, in the final exam of that year, the astrology wiped the line and passed, which can be said to be shocked into a cold sweat.

But it is precisely because of this that she became serious and realized that she was far from as good as she thought in the highest school in the White Queen District of the capital Glass Island. At least...... She is not a pure genius, but a genius of hard work.

With the attitude of casual learning as before, there is a possibility that you may fail without being absent...... Now she can graduate with a seven-petal flower seal representing a perfect score, and it is precisely because of Professor Moriarty's red, "passing" three-petal flower seal that woke her up.

For the average student, this is a mark of release from prison, which is worth cheering and celebrating; But for the proud Haina, it was like a slap in the face, hot in the face, and the straight man was silent and his brain was blank.

At this moment, Eivas gave her this feeling.

When I saw the report card, I felt as if I had woken up from a dream.

"Yes, I'm going to investigate."

Ivus suddenly became serious: "Since they will kidnap me once, there will be a second time. I can't leave my house without purging those cultists; Similarly, I can't afford to wait at home for a survey that I may not be able to accept – so I'm going to participate in the survey. ”

Hearing this, Haina was a little embarrassed. This is undoubtedly an allusion to the Inspectorate's extremely slow investigative efficiency.

The Supervision Bureau, which is extremely particular about "rules", must report to the higher authorities in everything and talk about standard procedures in everything. That's what those knightly lords in the Senate do.

Because they can hardly find anything, they even need to ask for the help of detectives. The "Charlotte" mentioned by Haina earlier is a detective who has recently become quite famous in the newspapers.

Charlotte graduated from the University of Law for many years, but did not choose to enter the Ombudsman's Office, the Law Court and the Arbitration Hall. As a result, he is now a special adviser to the Supervision Bureau, and his investigation is not subject to the various regulations of the Supervision Bureau, and he has cracked several major cases one after another, and his status is much higher than that of his old classmates who joined the Supervision Institute after graduation.

"If Miss Haina can't make up her mind, you might as well report my words to your boss and ask for his opinion."

Ivus crossed his hands and said calmly, "Anyway, according to the rules, you have to submit all the contents of this conversation to your superiors, don't you?" ”

For some reason, Ivas at this moment reminded Haina of the interviewer at the inspection center.
