Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 278 Thinking

That night.

Soft light fell quietly on the desk, and the sound of turning pages sounded in the room from time to time.

Xin Lailai looked at the spell theory books in front of him by the light, and kept trying to construct the spell model mentioned above in his mind.

Suddenly, Xin Lailai's eyes moved slightly, he closed his eyes, and his body leaned against the seat as if in a coma. His soul sank into the soul space, and the scene in front of him instantly changed from a book to an empty space filled with mist.

"Laley."

Ling Yuzi's voice sounded, and Xin Lailai looked toward the door, only to see Ling Yuzi walking towards him.

"How's it going at Quan Momo?"

"I have fallen asleep. I have set an alarm spell in the room. If someone triggers it, it will pull me back directly."

Hearing this, Xin Lailai nodded slightly. Although he had arrived in Leviathan and had reached cooperation with Satomi Rentaro, it did not mean that they were absolutely safe. Therefore, it was still very difficult for Quan Momo to follow Ling Yuzi. Necessary.

"Lailai, do you want to take a rest first?"

"No, let's just start."

Xin Lailai said, sitting down cross-legged, Ling Yuzi nodded slightly, and sat opposite Xin Lailai with him.

Organize information.

Although the discussion can also be held outside, considering that simple communication between souls may be detected by some unknown means, so to be on the safe side, discussing in the soul space is the most suitable approach.

"First of all, it is our core mission in this world."

Xin Lailai said, bringing up the task bar at the edge of his sight, looking at the only task on it, and said.

……

[Main mission·Final ring: Clear abnormality]

Mission information: Clear the anomaly in this world.

Mission introduction: (none)

Task requirements: (none)
  Task rewards: determined based on completion.

Mission penalty: (none)
  ……

Clear the exception.

Although they have experienced many worlds along the way and obtained a lot of information about this world, in fact, they still do not have a really clear direction on how to complete the mission of the paradise and successfully pass this world. .

"After all, what is the real abnormality in this world?"

Xin Lailai raised his head, looked at the mist flowing irregularly above his head, and said.

"If Satomi Rentaro and the others didn't lie to us, from the looks of it, it should be Hiroko Kageyin and Daikai Yuan, right?"

Ling Yuzi replied, controlling the soul energy and condensing the appearance of Zhizi Yingyin in his hand.

"Zhizi Yingyin... He is indeed a very key figure, but I always feel that we have overlooked something crucial."

Xin Lailai said, his eyes slightly lowered, thinking rapidly in his mind.

There is absolutely no mistake that Zhizi Yingyin has a close relationship with the anomalies in this world.

The key is that the other party does not necessarily represent all abnormalities in the world.

Dark steel, great chasm, leech shadow, new zodiac signs...

There are too many things in this world that do not belong to the original black bullet world, especially things that are almost natural phenomena like Anchao Steel and the Great Rift Abyss. If these are also part of the anomaly, then how can they truly Clear the world of anomalies?
  Kill Zhizi Yingyin and the other zodiac signs?

Intuition told Xin Lailai that things couldn't be that simple. This was not a game, nor was it a trial arranged by the park. Even if all these big bosses were killed, it would not necessarily mean 'passing the level'.

"source."

Xin Lailai stared at the leftovers in front of him and softly uttered two words.

Ling Yuzi nodded slightly, a glimmer of light flashing in his scarlet pupils.

"According to the information you found, Lailai, the direct influence of the abyss breath will not lead to so many things. There are too many abnormal things in the black bullet world now."

"Also, the appearance of Anbaogang and the New Zodiac seems to be a bit too coincidental."

Yes, too many, and too coincidental.

Xin Lailai squinted his eyes slightly and kept thinking about one possibility after another in his mind.

The biggest characteristic of the abyss is that it is unknown. No one knows what characteristics the intangible concept will derive before truly coming into contact with specific things.

But the existence of An Shaogang in the Black Bullet World is a bit too coincidental.

Why did the original Bao Gang mutate into Dark Hao Gang? Why is the effect of dark steel just to increase the restraint on gastrula? And why won’t it have any adverse effects on humans, and even perfectly meet the needs of humans in the black bomb world?
  At the same time, why did a new zodiac suddenly appear just when humans used dark steel to establish a new order and finally took back the world?

Because of coincidence?

Don't be kidding, it's a coincidence that a second-order semi-open world can survive under the erosion of the abyss.

Even a fifth-level open world like Black Clover can only delay the process for a few hours.

In comparison, it is already a miracle that the world of black bullets can still exist. As for the probability that a metal like dark steel that perfectly meets the needs of humans in this world will appear just under this miracle, theory It is more likely to be close to nothing.

Xin Lailai didn't think this was just a coincidence, or in other words, in this environment, if he tried to deceive himself by saying it was just a coincidence, he would only die faster.

"Dark Steel, Great Rift Abyss, New Zodiac, Leech Shadow Yin... these things cannot all be products directly born from the power of the abyss. There must be a deeper connection between them, and the influence of the power of the abyss on this Real impact in the world creates relevant connections.”

That’s right, contact.

What they have learned so far is that there is definitely some connection between these seemingly unrelated things at a deeper level.

The existence of these things cannot be purely coincidental, but inevitable due to the influence of certain root factors.

"The worst result, the thing corresponding to the source of the abnormality, is actually the world itself."

Xin Lailai said in a deep voice, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, and told the worst possibility.

If there was something wrong with the world itself, all the above coincidences would be explained like a well-arranged script, but in that case...

"In that case, it might become unsolvable?"

Ling Yuzi whispered, telling a cruel truth.

Not every difficulty has a solution. Reality is not a game, and it is possible that you cannot 'clear' it from the beginning.

The problem can be solved by killing Zhizi Yingyin. This can even be said to be the most ideal result.

And if the problem lies in the world itself, without the intervention of the power of paradise, it is impossible for the two of them to do anything about the concept of [world].

"However, in the end, there may only be no solution. As long as we can figure out what the specific anomaly is, even if the object is the world itself, there may be a chance to turn around."

Xin Lailai said calmly, looking at the model of Zhizi Yingyin in Ling Yuzi's hand, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

The most common method to clear the anomalies caused by the abyss is undoubtedly to directly destroy the core carrier where the power of the abyss resides.

But in addition, prescribing the right medicine according to the abnormal characteristics is also a solution, but it is often much more difficult than violent destruction.

For example, the alienated town that the Black Clover world encountered at that time had the characteristics of "mutation" and "assimilation".

If this information could be known in advance, the paradise would not send contractors with space talents into it. Naturally, there would be no need for Alienation Town to rely on space movement to surprise Julius, the son of the world, to take the initiative.

Although the premise of knowing in advance must no longer exist, judging from the current situation, the erosion of the abyss has obviously had a profound impact on the world of black bombs. But if we can figure out the characteristics of the anomaly that erodes the world of black bombs, it may be a crucial turning point at a critical moment.

"Does the problem eventually come back to the source of the anomaly?"

Xin Lailai gently rubbed his temples. Although they now have a lot of information, they not only know what happened in the past, but also what the last pioneer who entered the world of black bullets did in this world. , but there is still a lack of decisive information.

Although you can just guess blindly, it is no different from gambling with your own life.

"Lailai, are we too hasty? The star pointer still indicates Leviathan. Maybe we should focus on Leviathan now?"

Ling Yuzi looked at Xin Lailai with a solemn expression and reminded him.

She knew very well that Lailai was used to thinking through the next few steps in advance before taking a step, but sometimes thinking too much would make the other person ignore the matter at hand.

"Put it on Leviathan..."

When Xin Lailai heard this, he was slightly startled. He looked at Ling Yuzi, who was looking at him with gentle eyes, as if he had some reaction.

Is he too anxious?
  This seems to be the case. From the very beginning of entering the world of black bullets, he has been thinking in advance about his next move.

In other words, he is a little too worried that his current actions will have irreversible effects in the future, so he has been trying to use existing information to speculate on the results of things that have not yet happened.

"Perhaps, after we find the clues in Leviathan indicated by the star pointer, it will be time to think about what happens next."

Ling Yuzi's sweet voice gently echoed in Xin Lailai's mind. After hearing the words, Xin Lailai was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, looked at Ling Yuzi, and said:

"Ling Yuzi, punch me, hard!"

"Ok!"

Ling Yuzi nodded, stood up, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and punched hard.

"Wait…!"

When Xin Lailai saw Ling Yuzi's posture, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and he was about to change his words immediately...

boom--! !

The snow-white little fist instantly fell to the center of Xin Lailai's face, and a ring of air explosions exploded in the soul space. Xin Lailai's soul flew out with a bang like a cannonball, and hit hard On the edge of soul space.

"Cough cough, cough cough... Ling Yuzi, you are trying too hard."

After more than ten seconds, Xin Lailai stood up from the ground while rubbing his face and inhaling the mist in his soul space, muttering.

"But, wasn't it Lailai who told me to use force?"

"Then there's no need to use even an inch of strength, right?!"

"Then... why don't you call Lailai back?"

"No, I can't bear it. You'd better kiss me."

"OK then."

So, Ling Yuzi tapped his toes, and his soul body floated in front of Xin Lailai, held Xin Lailai's cheek, and moved closer, his small lips gently pressed against Xin Lailai's lips.

The light blue mist was lingering, and the scarlet eyes and dark pupils stared at each other quietly. After half a minute, the two slowly separated.

"puff!"

The two of them laughed in unison, Ling Yuzi lowered his body and let Xin Lailai hug him.

"Forgetting your trouble, Ling Yuzi."

"It doesn't matter, because it's my duty to wake up Lailai when she's confused."

Xin Lailai looked at Ling Yuzi in his arms and said with a smile. Ling Yuzi shook his head gently and leaned into Xin Lailai's arms.

"Ahem, actually it can be a little gentler. It still hurts a lot after all. Please don't slap me in the face next time."

"But Lai Lai's face is obviously the thickest, isn't it?"

"..."

Xin Lailai looked at the cunning look on Ling Yuzi's face, and the corners of his eyes twitched. For a moment, he didn't know how to refute this sentence.

"You see, when we first met, Lailai directly faced me who looked only ten years old at the time..."

"Stop it, stop talking. If you keep talking, I will turn into a pervert."

Xin Lailai covered her face and stopped the topic in time when Ling Yuzi's laughter was like a silver bell.

"But... should you focus on the matter in front of you first?"

Xin Lailai breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the dome of the soul space, and squinted his eyes slightly.

"Well, this way, the goal should be much clearer, right?"

Ling Yuzi nodded and said seriously. Xin Lailai touched his chin and admitted:

"Indeed, in this case, we only need to find a way to assist Leviathan in killing the Zodiac and Leechi Yin."

Although this matter is also difficult to achieve, in terms of direction, it is undoubtedly much clearer than exploring the source of the anomaly in this world.

"In this way, all we have to do is analyze the purpose of Zizi Yingyin and find ways to increase his strength and trump card."

Xin Lailai muttered to himself, a glint flashing in his eyes.

Leechi shadow Yin.

If you think about it carefully, there are indeed a lot of mysteries in the other party, and if you classify them, there is only one thing worth thinking about in the other party:

"Lailai, what do you think Zhizi Yingyin is planning to do?"

Ling Yuzi asked curiously, tilting his little head and looking at Xin Lailai.

"He found us right after we entered the world of black bullets, which means his perception is probably related to this world."

"He has been reminding us to go to Leviathan from the beginning, and when we actually arrived at Leviathan, he suddenly appeared and asked us to kill him."

"And according to the information told by Satomi Rentaro, he has the ability to control gastrea animals, which means that the attacks we encountered along the way may have been arranged by him."

"But he doesn't seem to want us to really die here. Otherwise, he can definitely gather all the other zodiac signs here, and it will be impossible for us to survive the attack."

"The most important thing is that I don't feel any hostility from him at all. What about you, Lailai?"

"Me too, at least judging from the current contacts, this guy's purpose seems to really be to find someone to kill him. As for the previous attacks, they are not so much attacks as they are..."

filter.

If all the enemies they encountered along the way, from the second update on the right to the experimental girl and then to the Zodiac, were indeed deliberately arranged by the other party, then Xin Lailai can be sure that Zhizi Yingyin’s purpose was definitely not to kill them. , but wanted to use these attacks to confirm whether their strength had reached a certain level.

At the same time, according to Satomi Rentaro's information, before the arrival of Doji, although Leviathan had been attacked by the Zodiac, the frequency of attacks was actually not high.

When Daoji arrived, Zhizi Yingyin even stopped the Zodiac's patrol of the world. It was not until Daoji went to the Great Rift Abyss alone to challenge the opponent and died in battle that he allowed the Zodiac to take action again.

"The Demon King who trains brave men who can pick up the Holy Sword?"

Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly. The intention shown on Zhizi Yinming's face was actually very obvious, so obvious that even Quan Momo could detect it.

——Zhizi Yingyin is looking for someone...even forcing someone to kill him.

But in this case, there is one point that cannot be explained no matter what:
  If Zhizi Yingyin's purpose is really to find someone to kill him, then the other party should definitely not kill Daoji!
  ……
