infinite creative mode

These words made Steve glance at him curiously: "You seem to be familiar with this place."

"Well, before several of my friends passed away, I visited them in this kind of place." Kishua was very calm.

"Why didn't you save them? Aren't you a great magician?" Steve asked back.

Hearing this question, Kishua chuckled: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, how can I save it? If it were you, would you save it?"

"Of course." Steve answered decisively, so decisively that Kishua couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

After a brief surprise, Kishua quickly realized that Steve did have the strength to do this, but he continued to ask: "Even if they have accepted their own death, you still want to save them?"

"Of course we need to be saved," Steve grinned. "I accept death because I have to die. How can there be anyone in the world who really wants to die?"

While talking, Steve shook his head, as if he heard such a ridiculous and ridiculous joke.But for Kishua who "told a joke", it wasn't funny.He stayed in place in a daze, looking at himself reflected in the glass, on the window, and remained silent for a long time.After a while, he sighed: "Yes... If it is really possible to not die, who wants to die."

The nine-tailed fox saw all this and remained silent.

------

The three of them searched this floor, but they still couldn't find the master's ward, which made people feel a little strange.

Just as the three of them were discussing whether to search up and down from this floor, suddenly there was a crisp sound of high-heeled shoes in the quiet corridor. The metal heels hit the floor, and the sound spread far and far.

Chapter 604 Alice [Eight]

"Patient 104 changed her dressing."

This call resounded through the entire corridor, and it sounded particularly loud.

Hearing this voice, the three of them exchanged glances, seeing similar looks in each other's eyes.Except for Steve, of course, who always had that look, and no one else could see anything else.

In short, after a simple discussion, Steve still observed the situation as a pioneer.

The sound came from the southeast corner of the entire floor. When Steve and the others arrived, they saw a nurse pushing a cart coming around the corner.

This nurse, like everyone else in the hospital, turned a blind eye to the three of Steve; but unlike others, first of all, this nurse was the first person Steve and the others felt very real.This statement may be vague, but in fact, everyone's walking pace, shaking posture and amplitude are different.Every detail of personality is blended together to give people a real feeling.And all illusions are exactly the same in the same action, especially when they are together, it feels particularly obvious.

It's just that this nurse is different from a real person, the face of this nurse is blurred.Although the figure looks very good, but there is no face, there is a strange beauty.

"Is that her?" Steve whispered to Kishua, although he didn't know why he whispered.

Kishua shook his head: "If this place is built with the master's cognition, then it is impossible for him not to know his own face. And if the master is a nurse, it will completely overthrow what we found before. Inferred, in short, for the time being, I still believe that the Master is a patient in the hospital, and this nurse should be one of the people who have a close relationship with the Master, so just follow her."

Steve nodded and followed the nurse closely, keeping a distance of two steps.

This nurse is pushing a trolley for changing dressings, and changing dressings for patients in one ward. Of course, as for the process, Steve and the others can’t see it, maybe because this patient master can’t see other patients changing their dressings. The process of medicine!

Followed the nurse through six wards.In the seventh ward, when the three habitually stopped to wait for the nurse to come out, Yakumolan suddenly patted Steve on the shoulder and pointed to the place where the nurse walked in.

"What's wrong?" Steve looked in the direction of her finger.

"You can enter this ward." Yakumo Lan pointed to the completely black and white room.

Steve was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he habitually felt that this ward was the same as the previous ward, but after careful observation, he found that the structure of this ward and the people inside were clearer than other wards, and Patient movements are also more personalized.

"It seems that this is what we just missed." Kishua said while nodding to Steve.

Steve understood what he meant, and walked into the ward first.

This ward is not big, and there is only one patient in it.However, after the nurse changed the medicine for the patient, she walked onto the roof of the ward, then went around the roof and walked to another corridor.

The corridor is opened from the ward?The design structure of this building is really weird enough, but the structure of this building is indeed like this.

The corridor going out from this ward is not an ordinary corridor, but an air corridor.

The nurse just kept pushing the cart forward.

"This place looks weird, are you sure it's not a trap?" Steve followed closely, but he still didn't forget to look down from the edge of the air corridor.There is an endless abyss below, and it feels like you will never come back if you go down.

Kishua is also observing the surrounding environment, but his insight is relatively deeper: "Maybe this master has autism."

"Autism?" Steve was clearly unfamiliar with the term.

"It's also called autism, and it often occurs in children or childhood," Kishua looked up at the white zenith, "I think the master's room and the hospital are actually spliced ​​together, and this master is actually not Knowing what kind of hospital I live in, the whole hospital should be derived from the fantasy of this nurse."

"Really?" Steve looked back at the big hospital that was no longer visible in surprise, "Can you think so concretely just by fantasy?"

"Ordinary people definitely can't do it," Kishua nodded, "so I think the Master may be autistic."

"But autism is not a terminal illness in human beings!" Yakumo Lan interjected in a low voice.

Regarding this, Kishua just shook his head: "I don't know, I can only say that autism may exist as a complication of some terminal illness, and it depends on the individual."

"Don't guess," Steve waved his hand, "You'll know when you get there, anyway, you'll have to kill him in the end."

After what Steve said, the three of them stopped discussing and followed the nurse all the way forward.

After walking for about 5 minutes, I finally saw a white door. The nurse pushed the door and went in without knocking.

Seeing this, Steve didn't hesitate, and followed her in.

After entering, Steve discovered that this ward was not so much a ward as a research room.Because the first thing that comes into view is not medical equipment, but various instruments with unknown functions. There is a whiteboard hanging next to the equipment. The whiteboard is covered with various notes. The table in front of the whiteboard is full of books and papers.

Well, since this is a research laboratory, there will naturally be research objects.As for where the research subjects are...

The nurse who entered the room opened the curtain on the other half of the room opposite to the equipment, revealing a hospital bed.There is a person lying on the hospital bed, no, it should be said that it is only a person from the shape.The whole body of this person was wrapped in white bandages. He had no hair or fingers. At the end of both arms, there was only a thing like a meat ball, which was tightly wrapped by bandages.

"Alice, did you rest well last night?" the faceless nurse said to the person on the bed.

"Ha, hiss, ha, hiss, ha, ha..." The voice from the bandage was completely inaudible as if it was a human voice.

But the faceless nurse seemed to be able to understand the other party's expression, or didn't care about knowing what the other party answered, and then continued: "I need to change the medicine today. I will read a story to you after the medicine change, okay?"

The man wrapped in bandages on the bed bumped against each other with two fleshy balls at the end of his arms, like a monster imitating human clapping.

Steve frowned, staring at the man on the bed.From the conversation between the nurse and this person just now, it is not difficult to judge that this is not only a person, but also a child. Judging from her name, she may be a little girl. Why would a little girl become like this?Will it be in such a research institute again?

"This is the research material of the magic circuit." At some point, Kishua walked up to Steve, holding a sticky note in his hand, which was obviously torn from the whiteboard just now, "marked on the lower right The time is around 1943, which is the end of World War II. Although I don't know what happened in this timeline, it is obvious that people in this world are researching magic circuits, and this girl named Alice, in the war Injured by incendiary bombs, 96% of her body was burned, but she managed to survive the dangerous period. The researchers discovered unusual strength in her body, so this allowed her to survive. Of course, the price of survival is to be regarded as The material being studied."

"This is the Master?" Steve pointed to the girl who was changing her dressing on the hospital bed, because the gauze wrapped around her was untied, revealing her severely burned skin, covered with cracked blood and scars When her skin and the gauze on both arms were untied, it was found that she had no hands because the hands had been amputated.All that remained was a bare wrist bone and a surgical wound with white pus all over the edges.

This scene was so cruel that a girl like Yakumo Lan couldn't bear to look at it, so she turned her body away, "Is your magic research like this?"

"This must be the master." Kishua first answered Steve, and then he nodded and sighed, "As for magic research, this is just one of them. This kind of research is not the most common way, but it is not the most common way." The cruelest way. Although we admit that it is magic and magic, it is still technology in the end. Technology is an altar, and every experiment is a sacrifice. Genius sacrifices his youthful talent and good life, Ordinary people sacrifice wealth, property, life and even children. You need to constantly sacrifice your best things in order to get a look back from the gods. Study and study, but that's all."

While Kishua was speaking, Steve did not choose to look away, he stared at the girl closely, and then after Kishua finished expressing his emotions, he suddenly asked: "Then those researched things, In fact, it may be something that others have known for a long time?"

Kishua was taken aback by this question, and after a moment of silence, Marshal Mo Dao nodded helplessly: "There is no way, magic has uniqueness itself that has value."

"A boring excuse for a selfish person." Steve commented very bluntly.

Kishua chuckled, smiled wryly, shook his head and smiled: "...It's really boring."

Steve was rarely serious at the moment, but he didn't intend to seriously stand on the moral high ground and criticize a magician like Kishua.First of all, Kishua did not do this. On the contrary, his courage to admit it shows that he is enlightened to a certain extent.Secondly, it doesn't really matter whether these people feel guilty or not, what matters now is another thing:

"Fox, I want to save her, what should I do?"

"...Wait, what are you going to do?" Kishua hurriedly tried to stop Steve, "She is the master, and this is just her memory. She should have died long ago in the real world. Now she is just A ghost that roams this electronic world!"

However, when Steve was going to do something reckless, no one could stop him: "Being a ghost means that her soul is still alive, doesn't it? Fox, find a way."

"This... let me think about it." Yakumolan tugged at her ear, and she could see that she also wanted to save the child, "Master Zi taught me a few ways to calm the soul, but no matter which one there is The price. The lightest one is that the subject loses the memory of the past, and then lives as a ghost unaffected by the outside world... But this method is very difficult to complete under the current conditions..."

"Think quickly, I will fulfill whatever conditions you want." Speaking of this, Steve paused, "No matter the cost."

"You guy." Kishua, who was standing aside, clenched his fists. The Command Seal on the back of his hand was shining red, but the red light was only flashing, but it didn't form an order, but dimmed, "Forget it." , up to you, see what you can do."

The young Marshal of Demon Dao waved his hand, stepped aside as if giving up, and sat down on a random chair.

On the other side, Yakumo Lan seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and said to Steve, "By the way, I thought of a possible way."

"what?"

"Do you remember that strange cat you summoned?"

"Cat?" Steve thought for a moment. "The guy who calls himself QB?"

"Yes," Yakumo Lan nodded, "Isn't the contract it gave you just to extract the human soul from the body?"

"But isn't that guy's contract a trap?" Of course Steve still remembered, after all, it was the first time he transformed in his life, "Are you sure you can use it?"

"Take out the soul and fix it in another way." Speaking of this, Yakumo Lan paused, "And, don't you still have that woman who can materialize the soul?"

"Oh, the Cup of Heaven." Thinking of this thing, Steve suddenly felt like something was going on, "Okay, I'll just let this thing out right now."

As he said that, Steve searched for the item bar, found the strange white cat, and grabbed it out.

As soon as QB landed on the ground, he let out a big breath: "I thought I would never get out in this life, why, is there anything I can do for you?"

This guy also looks quite self-conscious.

Both Steve and Yakumo Lan thought so, but Steve didn't plan to greet it, he held QB's neck: "Can your contract draw out this girl's soul?"

"This girl?" QB shook his body, and Steve let go of it, and saw it walk up to the girl and look at her, "It's ok, she's quite capable."

Hearing it said yes, Steve let out a sigh of relief: "Then you can sign a contract for her."

"This, she has to agree with herself." QB still had that strange face with only a smile but no smile.

It wagged its tail and approached the girl: "Miss, what's your name?"

"Hiss, ha, hiss, ha, hiss, hiss~" The girl's damaged vocal cords trembled.

"Oh, it's Alice! It's a very good name." It's amazing, but QB can understand her words, "So, are you willing to sign a contract with me to become a magical girl? Of course, for this, I can complete your One wish, any wish is fine! Any wish can come true.”

Chapter 605 Alice [[-]]

Of course, Steve was very worried about this guy, and he felt a little unhappy when he heard about the wishing machine, but now there was no other way.

"Ha, hiss, hiss, hiss, ha..." Others could not understand the girl's voice.

But what is certain is that she is aware of her own existence and the existence of everyone here. She is different from the nurse who is just an illusion.

"Don't worry, this is my job," QB said happily, "As long as you say what you want, it's my job to realize it. Even if you don't believe it, you have to give me a chance!"

"Hiss." The girl was silent for a moment, she used her only remaining eye to observe other people in the room through the bandage: "Hiss... hiss, ha, hiss, hiss..."

"Okay, I have received your wish."

As soon as the QB said this, the girl's body began to glow.

With the light on her body, the whole room began to shake.No, not just the room, but the entire space barrier is constantly shaking.With the collapse of the Zenith, the ground also shattered into countless pieces.

All fell into the void.

Yakumo Lan was the first to react.Originally, everyone in Gensokyo could fly, but she could catch a person with one roll of her big tail, and even QB was caught by her.Suddenly, a golden Buddha seal was released from her body, and all the space debris that flew over were bounced away.

The Buddha's golden body was constantly hit by invisible but extremely sharp space fragments, making golden sounds continuously.

Fortunately, the collapse of the inherent enchantment did not last long, like an explosion. With the departure of the first wave of fragments, the whole world cleared up and lit up.

The three of them looked down subconsciously, and the ground below was disconnected.It can be clearly seen from the sky that this piece of land has been completely destroyed, and large pieces of debris are suspended in the air like an asteroid belt.But the strange thing is that the gravity of this world on people is still there. After Yakumo Lan stabilized her figure, she found a floating plate and fell down.

As soon as he hit the ground, Steve grabbed the QB by the back and pulled him over: "What the hell did you do?"

"Me? I didn't do anything!" QB was raised like that, without any resistance, "It's all what she wants to do, I'm only responsible for receiving wishes, and I didn't do anything else."

"So, where's the girl?" Steve asked.

Regarding this, Yakumo Lan remained silent, and Kishua, who had never spoken before, pointed to the distance and said, "It should be that thing."

Steve looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a huge alien dragon crawling on a huge land plate.Even if it is far away, it can be felt that it is very large. It is not so much a mountain as it is a mountain range.The back of its huge head is full of spikes, like an exploded flower.And its hands and feet are not big, and the thin scientific research sees the bones, like a premature deformed baby.But on the contrary, this dragon has a pair of very large wings, which are too big for the plate it is on, so it is carried on other plates.

The body of this dragon is full of colorful and exotic patterns, and there are lace ribbons that only little girls like.Although these things are completely unsuitable for such a huge monster, in fact, the creature in front of the three of them is like this-if it can be called a creature.

Seeing this scene, Steve was a little dazed, and he murmured, "What's going on? Why is this happening?"

"It's just a miracle produced by the law of cause and effect." The QB in Steve's hand was not nervous at all, and said unhurriedly: "Wish itself is a link of cause and effect. When human ancestors looked up at the starry sky 40 years ago, After more than seventy seconds, they had a desire to understand the mysteries of the starry sky at that moment, and thus the magical species on your planet were born. But there must be an effect if there is a cause, and a reasonable wish will produce a reasonable result. Unreasonable desires produce unreasonable results, that's all."

"Then why don't you tell her that it's okay to wish?!" Steve threw QB directly to the ground, probably because of a broken bone, and his body made a crisp sound.

But the QB with a broken spine or something and screaming or complaining, still said, "This is my job!"

Just before Steve was about to seal the bastard in a sarcophagus and throw it into the void, Yakumo Lan hurriedly stopped him and asked, "So, what kind of wish did she make?"

"What else can a dying person wish for?" QB's head drooped, but he still explained plainly, "She said she wanted to live."

"..."

"..."

Steve and Yakumo Lan looked at each other.This answer is common enough to be taken for granted, but it has another logic...

"That is to say, her wish to survive, facing an opponent like us... Since she will surely die as a result of this war, in order to overcome this result, did her wish completely turn her into this kind of monster? Kishua expressed the thoughts of the two of them at the moment.
