“(-ω-;) Sigh, there’s really nothing I can do.” Aine put her two swords back into the crossed sheaths behind her back and picked up Soyo by the waist. “Luckily there aren’t many small robots here, otherwise I would have had to abandon Soyorin~”
Soyo didn't respond to Aine's teasing, but continued to analyze the current situation. Due to her own injuries, the two of them couldn't act separately right now, otherwise they would likely be defeated one by one. The task of supporting Riki would have to be left to Touma and Rakuna.
Although her brain was working at high speed, Soyo's face still showed a shy blush because of someone's embrace, which she might not even realize.
Aine ran upstairs holding Soyo in her arms. Since they couldn’t use the elevator in the Toyokawa Building, they had to take the stairs, and it would probably take quite some time for them to reach their destination.
(ps: I hope readers will collect the monthly ticket and reward me (*/ω\*). By the way, today's mujica's picture preview is just as I expected, two old pictures. It looks like the eleventh episode is going to be big (≧ω≦)/)
Volume 27: Book of Fears: . Discordia III
A little earlier.
After parting with Lenai, Lixi climbed up the stairs to the top floor alone.
Unlike the lower floors of the building, there are almost no defense robots here, which saves Li Xi a lot of trouble.
However, the terrain on the upper floors of the Toyokawa Building is much more complicated than that on the lower floors, and there are no stickers displaying floor maps on the walls. Instead, there are display screens at the doors of many offices. It seems that senior staff on the upper floors of the building can use these screens to query the information they need, including maps.
And now, due to the power outage, none of these screens can display anything.
Through these shiny black screens, Li Xi could only see his own extremely handsome face.
She sighed softly.
It’s not like Li Xi hasn’t been to the upper floors of the Fengchuan Building before.
But in recent years, she only walked by briefly once, on the day she boarded Xiangzi's plane to enter Tokyo.
The last time he entered this building was before the collapse of the Toyokawa Group.
Li Xi remembered that the building was not so tall at that time, and the interior environment was not so complicated. The decoration outside the building was also very exaggerated. It was completely different from the simple geometric shapes of today's architectural style.
At that time, I seemed to have come in to steal something, but the difference was that the leader was not Lixi and Soyo, but Xiangzi. She made a very careful plan and finally ensured that everyone was safe and sound and escaped safely.
The years of youth are often covered with warm sunlight in memories, making people miss the good old days, as if the days of chasing the rising sun and the wind with friendship will never end.
But that is impossible. No matter how warm the childhood is, it will eventually come to an end due to growth.
It was a rainy night for Li Xi. Outside, the rain was pouring down, and thunder and lightning flashed in the dark sky. However, no matter how loud the thunder was, it was not as deafening to Li Xi as the girl's soft voice.
"I want to quit crychic..."
……
"Why do I start thinking about these random things again..."
Li Xi found himself distracted again and quickly shook his head to drive the annoying thoughts out of his mind.
I always feel like I've been lost in past memories since I returned to Tokyo.
Li Xi chose to put aside these things that were unimportant to him at the moment and instead face the harsh reality.
When he passed the same intersection for the third time, Li Xi realized that he was definitely lost.
But this situation shouldn't happen. Even if he was distracted, Li Xi's sense of direction has always been very good, so such a mistake should not have happened.
In order to understand the current situation, Lixi decided to mark the path he had taken.
She raised the pistol in her hand and fired a shot at the ground behind her. The marble floor cracked due to the impact of the bullet, and the bullet mark left behind could not be covered up no matter what.
Li Xi fired a shot at the ground every few steps. As long as he faced the direction without bullet holes, Li Xi could ensure that he would never take the same path twice.
But when Lixi passed the intersection that was marked at the beginning again, she fell into deep silence.
Lixi was sure that this was the place where she had first shot the bullet, but she could not see any trace on the ground.
Although it was the middle of the night, Li Xi still didn't believe that there were really ghosts in this world, so if he was trapped like this, it must be someone's doing.
Li Xi squatted down and felt around. The marble floor in front of him looked as smooth as new, but Li Xi could feel a pothole in front of him, which was the bullet hole he had shot before.
The uneven feeling was so clear, and it was completely inconsistent with the scene in front of him, which made Li Xi start to doubt whether there was something wrong with his hand or his eyes.
But the next moment, Li Xi realized who was behind this.
The master of illusion in the Mujica Group - Mysterio!
The other party obviously wanted to trap him here and prevent him from reaching his destination.
So it seems that what I am looking for is really in the place I found out.
Putting down the pistol, Lixi quickly turned on the communicator, ready to call her companions to come up and meet her, but her communicator seemed to have malfunctioned and kept buzzing.
Lixi tried to call his teammates, but no one answered.
"There is still signal interference here?" Li Xi frowned. Obviously, he could only think of a new way to break through the blockade here.
-----------------
"That's right! This is interesting!"
Looking at Shiina Riki running around like a headless fly, Hailing laughed happily.
"You used my skills just to tease your old lover and satisfy your own selfish desires?"
Miao Meng asked. She had no objection to Hailing borrowing her equipment, but the other party's current expression was too lewd and seemed a little bit asking for a beating.
"How can you say that?" Hailing immediately put on a righteous expression after hearing Miao Meng's words. She turned around and said to Miao Meng, "If I don't find a way to stop her, I'm afraid she'll reach the roof in less than half an hour. That little spider was still a little far away from here. Without my godly hand, she won't be able to catch up to her tonight. She can only watch Mygo and the others escape. Wouldn't our fun be much less?"
"Emmmm..." Miao Meng didn't have any opinion on Hailing's behavior. She just teased her out of habit, but her current attitude made her feel a little interesting.
"I didn't expect that Haizi, who is always thinking about acting cool and handsome, has such a cute side..." Miao Meng thought secretly in her heart, and then continued to look at the big screen.
As he turned his attention back to the scene, an unexpected situation happened to Lixi.
-----------------
Chu Hua searched for a long time in the ventilation duct, and on the way he found a woman with white hair whom he seemed to have seen before.
This made Chu Hua realize that the other party might have other helpers besides the two people he had met before.
When facing these people, I need to be more cautious.
So Chu Hua continued to go up, and while following the white-haired cat girl, Chu Hua learned that she had a companion heading towards the roof.
Chu Hua decided to ambush this man. After all, it was inconvenient to communicate and move around in the Fengchuan Building. If she subdued the enemy at the top, she would have enough time to get the information she wanted from him, but it would be difficult for her companions to come to support quickly.
Chu Hua of the ventilation duct immediately sped up his actions.
Come to think of it, Soyo’s face looked familiar to me when I first saw her, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen it.
Chu Hua hadn't noticed this problem a few days ago, but now this question suddenly jumped into her mind for some reason.
Soyo's face looks familiar to me, so have I seen her somewhere before?
Chuhua knew almost nothing about Soyo, and didn't even know if the name Soyo was real. It was really difficult to verify where he had seen Soyo.
While thinking about these random things, Chuhua moved towards his goal.
Although the surrounding environment always felt a little strange, Chu Hua could still determine his direction with the help of spider sense. After all, it was different from when he first entered the Tokyo sewers. He had explored the Toyokawa Building thoroughly in the past few weeks. Faced with this kind of terrain whose basic concept he had already constructed in his mind, the effect of spider sense could be said to have doubled.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding——
Chu Hua felt that the person he was looking for was nearby.
Tom——
Tom——
Tom——
……
Chu Hua could also hear gunshots every once in a while, which helped her better locate the opponent's position.
Crawling towards the sound of gunfire, Chu Hua could feel himself getting closer and closer to the other party.
Just before coming out of the ventilation duct, Chu Hua activated his invisibility ability, took a deep breath, and then held his breath.
Chu Hua cannot maintain these two abilities for a long time to stay stealthy. Using optical invisibility consumes a lot of energy, and the breath-holding time is limited by lung capacity.
Although it is said that it cannot be maintained for a long time, it is actually no problem to sneak continuously for more than ten minutes.
The moment Chu Hua came out of the ventilation duct and saw the target, he was so scared that he almost screamed.
This black-haired woman in a skull T-shirt...
Isn't it Shiina Tatsuki, his former classmate at Hanasakigawa Girls' College and the drummer of the band called crychic!
And Chuhua remembered that this guy was called the Punisher by Hailing...
The next second, Chuhua immediately remembered where he had seen Soyo.
Doesn’t soyo look very similar to the bassist of crychic?
"Emmmm..." Chu Hua felt mixed emotions when he thought about the fact that he could still meet so many familiar faces (probably considered familiar faces) after traveling through a parallel universe.
But knowing him cannot prevent Chu Hua from achieving her goal. She must ask Li Xi for the location of the "Secret Treasure of the Star" and then take it away first.
In order to return to his own world, Chu Hua decided to beat up his classmates.
"Wait." Chu Hua suddenly thought of a question while secretly following the Punisher, "Since the person standing here is Shiina Ritsuki, then what is Hai Ling's mentality in letting me come here?"
Chuhua vaguely remembered that although he often missed classes due to work, when he occasionally saw Hailing at school, he would see her and Lixi sticking together.
Judging from the video I watched, the relationship between Hai and Xi in this world seems to be quite subtle and complicated?
"Maybe Hailing just has a bad temper and wants to see me beat up the person she likes." Chu Hua thought.
Although she didn't know what Li Xi's fighting style was, since she didn't see any superpowers from the other party, she would just treat him as an ordinary person who couldn't beat her.
Chu Hua followed Li Xi quietly, sneaking above her.
Yes, Chuhua is now climbing on the ceiling.
Originally, Chuhua wanted to follow Lixi just like he followed Soyo and the Imitation Master.
But the other party would always shoot Chu Hua in the face every few seconds.
Chu Hua initially thought that she had been discovered by Li Xi, but later she realized that Li Xi was marking herself, so Chu Hua climbed over the wall to the top of Li Xi's head. After all, this kind of stimulation is not something a normal person can bear.
After following and sneaking for a long time, Chu Hua didn't find a good opportunity to escape.
The reason was simple. Li Xi had been holding her pistol, and Chu Hua was unable to judge the other party's marksmanship and reflexes. If she jumped down and was hit in the heart by a bullet from the other party, she would be finished.
Although the mutated spider in Fukushima that drank nuclear waste water gave itself some self-healing ability, it is not yet to the point where it can ignore any damage.
