Chapter 520 It’s Too Late for Love (Please Subscribe! Please Vote!)
In the ultimate space, Xu Qiansu looked up at the towering dense forest. The misty mist lingered in it, and the visibility was not high. At a glance, it looked like a giant beast that chose people to devour.
Lusamine stood up with a slightly solemn expression on her face. She was indeed full of curiosity about the ultimate space, but she could not single-handedly build the Aether Foundation to the scale of a regional facade. Not familiar with worldly affairs.
What's more, there is a junior who is more than 20 years younger than herself. Of course, she should shoulder the responsibility of protecting him, so she thought about it for a while before saying: "Xiao Xu, we have protective clothing and should not be afraid of miasma, but Bao Ke That’s not necessarily the case with dreams, not to mention what kind of ultimate beasts live inside, so just in case..."
Lusamine paused, a little hard to speak... She really wanted to go to the forest to take a look. As a researcher, there was no reason not to go, but her and Xu Qiansu's safety was the most important, "So we'll take a detour." Bar."
"A detour?" Xu Qiansu glanced sideways at Lusamine and shook her head lightly, "If Auntie wants to go, just go. The Pokémon will be fine."
Lusamine was slightly startled, thinking that her little son-in-law was quite gentle to her, but why should she be gentle at this time?
"Are you worried that your Pokémon will inhale that miasma?" Lusamine warned earnestly: "Xiao Xu, as a trainer, you should always put your Pokémon first, even if they don't love you. , you should love them too, this is your responsibility."
Xu Qiansu couldn't help rolling her eyes. Was Lusamine qualified to say this to him? Lusamine has been alienated from Lillie for more than ten years, let alone her Pokémon.
"I have the power of waveguide." Xu Qiansu was too lazy to talk to Lusamine about this and pointed at the forest. "That's mist, not miasma. Let alone Pokémon. Even if I smell it, it's fine."
"Seriously?" Lusamine's eyes lit up slightly. Why didn't she want to go?
"How could you tell such a joke at this time?" Xu Qiansu looked sideways into the forest and narrowed her eyes.
He really needed to go to the forest.
As far as he knew, there were humans in the forest where Zhi Yujian lived... Naturally, he couldn't help but talk to them when he came now.
There are so many mysteries in the ultimate space, and it is always beneficial to find ways to get some information.
Moreover, in the original work, there was a paper sword that could cut through space and actively open the ultimate hole... There is a high probability that the time flow rate in the ultimate space is different from that in the real world. Xu Qiansu naturally needs to find a backup plan, otherwise in case of being in the ultimate space After staying for a hundred years and only one day has passed in this world, he must not cry to death.
The existence of the ultimate beast like the Paper Royal Sword is also one of the reasons why Xu Qiansu dares to step into the ultimate space.
Lusamine was immediately happy, her eyebrows slightly curved, her mood was light, and she walked towards the forest with her hands behind her back like a little girl out on a spring trip. After taking a few steps to react, she put away her hands again, walking steadily, keeping herself to herself. Mature and steady as an elder.
Pokémon don't have as complicated a mind as Lusamine. They just follow Xu Qiansu wherever he goes. As long as they are with Xu Qiansu, they will be happy even if they live in the dark ultimate space for the rest of their lives.
The forest is deep and the ground is covered with fallen leaves, which make a soft crunching sound when stepped on.
Except for the sounds of walking, there was silence, and there seemed to be no living things around.
The dim light and lonely atmosphere made Lusamine's cheerful mood instantly disappear, replaced by a little uneasiness and fear.
This time it was too hasty. Lusamine didn't take her Pokémon with her at all. If she encountered danger, she could only rely on Xu Qiansu... But her relationship with Xu Qiansu was not very good, so of course she would be uneasy.
Gardevoir walked beside Xu Qiansu, his big golden eyes looking around in the forest, his eyebrows furrowed.
Even if she diffused her super power and felt it carefully, there was no breath of living things.
There was no danger, which was naturally a good thing, but due to the current atmosphere, Gardevoir wished that a few enemies would show up and kill him, which was better than being suspicious like this.
The cold wind blew and the branches and leaves of the tall trees rustled.
Lusamine paused slightly, tilted her head to look at the four-pointed star-like leaves on the branches, and frowned slightly, "This shape is a bit like UB04: Chop..."
As she spoke, Lusamine stretched out her little hands to pull off the leaves and examine them carefully.
But just as she stretched out her little hand, Xu Qiansu suddenly reached out and grabbed it, holding Lusamine's wrist tightly.
Lusamine was so frightened that her delicate body trembled. She recalled her experience of being held by Xu Qiansu in the laboratory and struggling to no avail. She looked at Xu Qiansu in surprise.
"Just in case, it's best not to touch anything here." Xu Qiansu let go of her hand and reminded in a low voice.
"Oh..." Lusamine rubbed her slightly painful wrist, muttering in her heart that she was too lax and actually needed Xu Qiansu, a junior, to remind her.
It's so embarrassing...not like an elder at all.
The two people and the Pokémon stepped away from the place. The four-pointed star-shaped leaf slowly detached from the branches with the breeze. As the wind caressed it, the moss-like green horny matter on the body fell like raindrops. There was a soft rustling sound of folded paper as the shape moved.
Its small head that looked like a skull tilted slightly, as if it was surprised at how human beings could break into this place, but soon it came back to its senses and flew in one direction. It looked like a ghost and was very fast. It went straight all the way and met a thick man. The branches did not dodge, and sank in as smoothly as a knife into tofu, making no sound, leaving only an extremely small gap.
Xu Qiansu looked at the extremely tiny white shadow in the sky with the corner of her eye and said nothing.
"Two humans?"
Deep in the forest, a small wooden house was built in front of a ruined ruins.
The surface of the site is covered with moss and vines, vaguely showing its former grandeur.
There was only a deck chair in front of the wooden house, and a very 'retro' old man who was dressed as if he was from the Washui era was lying on it, swaying.
There were so many wrinkles on his face that it was almost impossible to see his facial features clearly. Although he had the twilight look of an old man, he was still very energetic.
The old man is a divine paper user. As his name suggests, he can be regarded as a trainer of paper swords, but 'ranchman' may be more appropriate.
What was his original name, why did he appear here, whether he came from this world, how long he had lived... No one except him knew these questions.
Even the paper swordsmen living in the forest don't know. They only know that this old man is very good to them and always cares about them, so unknowingly, the paper swordsmen also begin to treat him as their grandfather. What's going on? All asked for his opinion.
Hundreds of paper swords were like white raindrops, floating around the old man and making a soft rustling sound.
The old man's cloudy eyes opened and he listened quietly, his face calm.
I don’t know how he understood Zhi Yujian’s words. After a while, he waved his hand gently and said, “I have stayed here for too long, not even many years... However, during this period, many people also entered the forest by mistake. Either to conquer you, or to escape from the ultimate space..."
Before the old man finished speaking, a paper sword floated in front of the old man, dancing and dancing, probably saying something.
The old man's expression remained unchanged and he remained silent for a few seconds. He placed his dry hands on the armrests of the recliner and tapped lightly. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead and try, but be careful."
As soon as the words fell, the paper sword instantly disappeared from the spot with a frightening speed.
Paper Edge Sword's proposal was simple... Xu Qiansu had many Pokémon with him, and he went over to find one to challenge him openly.
If he wins, it proves that Xu Qiansu is incapable of threatening the Paper Swordsmen in the forest, so it doesn't matter what his purpose is, since he can't affect the peaceful lives of the Paper Swordsmen anyway.
If you are defeated, if Xu Qiansu is aggressive and wants to conquer it, then drive it out. But if he is very martial-minded and will stop at nothing... then it proves that he is a good person, and he can basically put down his hostility.
The idea was simple and clumsy, but the old man didn't care...
The paper swordsmen have their own personalities. Some like peace, while others are war-loving and lively.
This paper sword has a simple mind and is a young child in the tribe. It has a lively and active personality. Every day it wants to go through the Ultimate Cave and see the world... so it actually just wants to fight with outsiders. Just a field.
If it loses the fight, it is also a good thing to let it know its limits and calm down.
But Zhi Yujian didn't think he would lose.
It even wished that it could knock down all of Xu Qiansu's Pokémon by itself and enjoy the fearful looks of strangers, so that it could show off its power in front of its friends... and maybe even make Grandpa like itself more.
The leaves of the forest rustled in the wind.
Lusamine felt a little uneasy in her heart. She had already walked to Xu Qiansu's side, and she didn't realize that the distance was a little close.
Xu Qiansu walked slowly in the seemingly endless forest, the power of the waveguide spreading out all the time. The paper sword must have gone to report the message to the divine paper messenger... Maybe it will come out to greet it later, or maybe it will attack in a group... ...But no matter what the possibility is, Xu Qiansu can detect it first and take the initiative.
The Pokémon could feel the solemnity in Xu Qiansu's heart, so none of them spoke. They were all watching and listening in all directions, always on guard.
Lusamine couldn't stand this almost suffocating and depressing atmosphere, so she spoke first and whispered: "Xiao Xu, although the depth in front of you seems to be endless, but according to my observation, we are not under hypnosis. I also marked things along the way, so I can always get out as long as I go down."
Xu Qiansu was a little funny. Lusamine was so uneasy that she almost forgot about her job as a researcher, but she still didn't forget to comfort him... However, Xu Qiansu did not show a smile, but lowered her voice and said in a slightly low tone. :
"Getting out of the forest is just a trivial matter... There are countless forests in the ultimate space, but there is only one in this world... If we can't find a way to return to this world, we may be trapped here for the rest of our lives."
Lusamine paused in her steps and her almond-shaped eyes widened a bit.
The depressing atmosphere, the quiet wind, the endless forest, and Xu Qiansu's words finally overcame Lusamine's sense of exploring the ultimate space as a researcher.
Only now did she suddenly realize... What should she do if she couldn't leave the ultimate space?
"Biko will not sit idly by. When the Ultimate Cave opens next time, she will definitely send a search and rescue team to rescue the two of us." Although Lusamine felt uneasy, she still tried her best to comfort Xu Qiansu.
"The coordinates of the opening of the Ultimate Cave are completely random. The Ultimate Space in Alola must be as vast as its area... Can Miss Biko really find us and take us back before the Ultimate Cave closes? "Xu Qiansu asked rhetorically.
Lusamine pursed her pink lips and couldn't help but stretched out her small hand to pat Xu Qiansu's shoulder. It seemed to be comforting, but in fact she was trying to find some sense of security from Xu Qiansu.
"We have opened the Ultimate Cave through Little Nebula before... As long as Little Nebula is there, it is only a matter of time before the Foundation fully masters the technology to open the Ultimate Cave... Don't worry, we can't be trapped in the Ultimate Cave. Extreme space for a lifetime.”
Xu Qiansu glanced at Lusamine, neither affirming nor attacking her. She waited in silence, as if she had no choice but to acquiesce to Lusamine's words.
Xu Qiansu's attitude made Lusamine even more uneasy... She hoped to hear a positive answer from Xu Qiansu's mouth. Although Lusamine rationally felt that what she said was reasonable, in this kind of world As if they were the only two left at this moment, they had to comfort each other and join forces to keep each other warm, so that they could persevere psychologically.
Xu Qiansu was unsure. Lusamine turned to look at his Pokémon again, hoping that the Pokémon would nod in agreement to reassure her, but Lusamine looked away again after a few seconds. in silence.
She is a strong woman...at least she thinks she is strong and powerful.
If she showed timidity at this moment, it would only make Xu Qiansu and the Pokémon even more uneasy.
The most important thing is that she has a stubbornness in her heart...a stubbornness that will never give up to the ultimate space.
Even though she is mentally uneasy, she must appear to be unyielding or cool and casual verbally.
Normally, Xu Qiansu would not have made Lusamine so frightened, but without experiencing something, she would not let go of her obsession with the ultimate space, and would not really set her sights on Lillie... Xu Qiansu I hope Lillie can have a mother who loves her, and I also hope Lusamine can let go of her obsession and be herself for once.
But he didn't want to force Lusamine, he could only influence her in a subtle way.
They walked forward in silence. After a while, Xu Qiansu and the Pokémon suddenly stopped.
Lusamine continued to move forward in a daze, and Xu Qiansu had to grab her wrist and pull her back.
"Huh?" Lusamine tilted her face and looked at Xu Qiansu again.
"There is movement." Xu Qiansu looked sideways at the quiet forest ahead.
The Pokémon's eyes narrowed slightly and they were ready, and there were already some sparks on Gardevoir's little hands.
Lusamine frowned and listened attentively... Paper Mitsurugi did not cover up his movements. They only heard a rustling sound in the silence. Within a few seconds, Paper Mitsurugi appeared in their sight.
The paper sword looks like a humanoid creature folded out of white paper on one side and red on the other. The body is mostly white, the head is folded inside the body, and a yellow four-pointed star is cut out in the center. It has no obvious facial features. , there are two tentacles with wider tips on the top of its head, but its limbs are shining with an intimidating cold light, leaving no doubt about the sharpness of its limbs.
The paper sword is only a few centimeters long, and some leaves are larger than it. It can be easily ignored without looking carefully, but it exudes a strong sense of presence... that is, the will to fight.
At the same time, the surrounding leaves slowly fell off their branches and turned into paper swords.
"Is this really UB04: Chop!?" Lusamine's pretty face turned pale and she couldn't help but glance sideways at Xu Qiansu.
UB04: Cleaving is known for its sharpness, and there has been a story of cutting off a building at will... But this is the first time Lusamine has heard of it disguised as leaves.
If Xu Qiansu hadn't stopped him just now, his fingers would have been cut off! ?
Xu Qiansu looked around at the paper swords around her, and finally focused on the one that showed its figure first and was also the most hostile, and asked slowly: "Did the divine paper messenger send you here?"
Zhi Yujian could understand Xu Qiansu's words, but Pokémon and Xu Qiansu couldn't understand its words, so Zhi Yujian had to lightly nod his head, then stretched out his right hand and gave Xu Qiansu a slight hook.
It's a provocation... even the little marsupial can see it.
The other paper swords spread around like snowflakes, forming a circle like a circular arena. The only paper sword with outstretched right hand was left in front of Xu Qiansu, as if Xu Qiansu couldn't get out without taking action. appearance.
"Haha..." Gardevoir laughed in anger. Could it be that these pieces of paper thought they could stop her?
She had always been the only one to fight with other Pokémon. How could any other Pokémon dare to force her to fight?
Dare to provoke Su Su...
Gardevoir squeezed his little hand, his bones and joints crackling, and he stepped forward to beat it.
Xu Qiansu gently stretched out her hand to stop Gardevoir.
The Paper Swordsmen obviously want to challenge each other... I'm afraid they can only go to see the Paper Master if they win.
But just in case, it is best for Gardevoir, who can move instantly, not to be too far away from them, so that they can evacuate at any time.
Xu Qiansu thought about it for a while, but saw that the little marsupial was leading the way and had already taken a step forward. Its small face was bulging with anger, and its big black and translucent eyes stared angrily at Zhi Yujian.
The little marsupial was not as much as Xu Qiansu thought. She just felt that this little piece of paper looked down on Susu... She didn't even have time to love Susu, and there were actually Pokémon who looked down on her! ?
What a joke! ?
The little marsupial is angry and she wants to punch it!
Xu Qiansu lowered his eyes at the little marsupial. Cresselia was worried that the little marsupial was injured and wanted to pick it back up for her... Xu Qiansu waved gently.
"Little marsupial, I leave it to you." (End of chapter)
