Xu Xiangyang was born thousands of years ago.

After realizing this, Yamashita suddenly figured out the many doubts in this guy.

His ignorance of the real world, his doubts about the saint, and the outfit that seemed to be very different from what he was looking at the moment, and the strange-sounding but rich meaning of the "Yaga Yalu".

At first, he only thought that Xu Xiangyang was an outsider, so he might not have a deep understanding of the chaotic place he was in.

But when the past history and the present record are connected.

The information contained in it began to make Yamashita tremble.

At this moment, his emotions were more complicated than ever.

Half of it is fear, after all, a person who has survived for thousands of years, and may even be before the cataclysm, no matter how ordinary it may seem, must have something extraordinary.

On the other hand, it is ...... Crazy.

"He's the third sequence."

Grabbing Alice's hand, Yamashita chewed on the meaning of the message.

In his heart, he repeated it again, his mind full of shock: "He is the third sequence!" ”

A Sequence Three, a guy who is not even a saint, can survive for a thousand years, from before the cataclysmic era to the present?!

What does this mean?

This means that the secret of Xu Xiangyang's body is so big that it can even be compared to the catastrophe.

And in this wasteland world, all knowledge that can be related to the original catastrophe is absolutely taboo and precious!

"Serendipity."

Led Alice to the small room, Yashimoto whispered to himself, "This is an absolute chance. ”

If you can dig out the secrets.

So under the mountain, there may also be the possibility of crossing thousands of years like Xu Xiangyang and boating on time!

"And even if there is no way to acquire this crucial knowledge, even if it is his special set of forbidden language, it is priceless."

After realizing this.

The slight resentment towards Xu Xiangyang in Yamashita's heart also disappeared with the possible harvest.

Instead...... Pure greed and murderous intent!

But he did a good job of hiding it, not exposing the dark emotions.

Leaning down, the mountain gently rubbed Alice's head.

"Alice," he said softly, "Daddy wants you to do something." ”

"It's important to Dad, and it's important to Alice. If it can be done, then Alice may be able to go home. So, Alice must be careful. ”

Hear this.

Alice blinked.

She was clearly moved by the "go home" in Yamashita's words.

And Yamashita knows this too.

In fact, he said it on purpose.

He knew what Alice wanted, nothing more than family affection and returning to the hometown he cherished in his heart.

No matter what the purpose of her return was, at least the word "home" had become an obsession in her heart.

And now, with his family affection as a substitute for "father", then another thing is naturally Alice's only sustenance.

And this is one of the most effective means that Yamashita wants to manipulate her.

Gently rubbing Alice's blonde hair, Yamashita's voice was soft: "You listen to Dad." ”

"When you go in, do as Dad told you......"

——

With a "squeak" sound.

The door that had been pushed open by the mountain that morning was quietly opened again at this moment.

It's just that this time the figure who came in was much thinner and petite than at the bottom of the mountain this morning, so much so that it was a little difficult to push the door.

After the lower edge of the wooden door is noisy against the ground.

The blonde girl walked step by step into this warm little room.

Then she bowed respectfully in a certain direction inside the hut.

"Risk...... I took the liberty of bothering. ”

Her voice was soft, like a fawn, with a soft innocence and timidity.

Because just now, her father told her what kind of "existence" there is, and what kind of impact this person may have on her.

However, the adoptive father's entrustment and the desire to return home still made the young girl Alice grit her teeth and accept this difficult task.

Even if she fails, she could fall into that terrible "hell...... At all costs!

Take a deep breath.

Alice slowly picked up the heavy ancient mirror.

Her face could be seen in the mirror.

However, it seems that it has not been used for a long time, so the ancient mirror is covered with a layer of dust. Because of this layer of dust, Alice's face in the mirror looks a little hazy and distorted.

Gently wipe off the dust that covers the mirror.

Alice followed her adoptive father's instructions and injected her own strength into this mirror.

As the child who once fell from the glass city, Alice herself is of course extraordinary.

And her level is not too low - even in the Tempering Heart Meeting mastered by Yamashita, she can be regarded as a mid-level "Sequence Seven".

This alone is enough to show the mystery of that glazed city.

A little girl has the strength of Sequence Seven.

And right now, this little girl is instilling all the polluting energy in her body into that ancient mirror.

And waiting, the great, ancient, mysterious being in the ancient mirror, answered her prayer.

"All-Knowing and Great Lord of Truth......

She whispered to her adoptive father, "You are the immortal being who holds all true knowledge, the divine scales that measure the covenant, and the supreme one who holds the authority of time. ”

"Listen to the presumptuous prayers of lowly men, awaken from your slumber, show your mercy and kindness, and cast your gaze from the river of time......"

The voice fell.

Alice stared at the ancient mirror in front of her with a nervous expression.

Then, in her stunned eyes.

A small scale appears in the air out of thin air, brilliant and delicate.

Looking at the scales, Alice subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it.

But soon, as if she remembered something, she resisted her curiosity and continued to fold her hands and stare at the ancient mirror in front of her.

In her sight.

Between the quaint and heavy mirrors, there is a faint flickering of streamers.

It was like a thunderbolt looming behind the clouds, and cyan lightning struck the cascading mist in front of it. In the slightly swirling ripples, a twisted figure sat upright in a chair and slowly looked up towards Alice.

"Is that you?"

A distorted voice, interspersed with a few hoarse notes, came from the ancient mirror.

"Seekers who knock at the door of truth."

Hearing this, Alice lowered her head slightly.

"Thank you for your mercy," she whispered, "Alice, the Contractor, I once again desire your bounty to grant my humble wishes. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion.

After Alice said her name, the person and body in the mirror seemed to shake slightly for a moment.

But soon He was restored.

Only the intermittent voice whispered from the mirror: "Alice......"

"It's a familiar name."

Well?

After hearing this.

Alice also briefly forgot her adoptive father's advice.

She pointed at herself, trembling, "You...... Know me? ”

To this question, the Lord of Truth in the mirror only chuckled: "Clear, but vague." ”

He said in a flat tone: "In the distant future, there was a time when someone with a name like yours and almost indistinguishable from you knocked on this door with his own hand and closed a deal. ”

As if feeling something, the Lord of Truth said, "This is probably fate, which binds you here and in the future...... In the end, it will produce an outcome that far exceeds what others think. The so-called time is so difficult to guess. ”

Maybe it's because His words are too obscure.

So in the end, Alice only understood some of them in a daze.

It probably means that in the future, there will be a person who is almost indistinguishable from her who also seeks the Lord of Truth and makes a deal.

As for the latter, it probably means that they may have the opportunity to meet in the future, and it may have various consequences?

Alice is not very clear.

She just asked curiously, "That person like me, what prayer did she make?" ”

For this issue.

The Lord of Truth was silent for a moment.

Then He spoke slowly, "Is that the answer to this question you want in exchange?" ”

Between the words, Alice suddenly realized something.

Oh, she's now in the process of completing a contract with the Lord of Truth.

Thinking of this, she quickly pulled back her thoughts: "No, no, no, of course not." ”

Even though Alice is very curious about the child who resembles herself, she still knows what to do.

So after thinking for a moment, she whispered the answer she wanted to solve.

And a moment later.

The voice of the Lord of Truth also came at the right time: "Yes. ”

"Offer the sacrifice of the trade, and the scales will weigh it."

Hearing this, Alice quickly got up from the ground.

Then she reached out and solemnly placed the contents of her pocket on the scales that stood on the surface of the mirror.

When the object was attached to the mirror, Alice noticed that it quickly disappeared into it.

And the golden balance has also been slightly deflected at this moment.

In the end, in Alice's nervous gaze, the scales finally reached an equal "balance" between the two sides.

The voice of the Lord of Truth came again: "The pact is established. ”

"Take this forbidden knowledge."

The moment the words fell.

Alice blinked.

Because she felt that the pollution in her body was being stirred up a little bit.

And with this energy fluctuation, there is also the change of the mirror in front of you.

It didn't take long for a book to pop up on this mirror.

The book was thin, and it looked like it was only a few pages.

Alice didn't dare reach for the book.

Because she has one more important thing than that.

"Excuse me......"

Looking in the mirror, Alice timidly asked, "Can I apply and make another transaction?" ”

Hear the words.

The Lord of Truth in the mirror fell silent.
