Chapter 408 25. Mikhail (6k)

The unconscious Tang Ze Asuka seemed to have a very deep dream.

In the dream, her nose was filled with the Buddhist incense that she seemed to have been accustomed to for a long time. She was wearing a black high school uniform for girls, kneeling in an antique room with a dull look.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Beside her ears, the sound of tapping wooden fish came from outside the room, accompanied by the burning Buddhist incense that made people feel peaceful. She seemed to have finally come back to her senses, but she was still in a daze, kneeling next to a wooden paper-pasted sliding door, with a small table in front of her, and her empty schoolbag lying next to the table.

On the wooden table, the homework assigned by the teacher was scattered. If it were other high school girls, they would definitely go to clubs together, hang out outside and finish their homework, but Asuka Karasawa did not join any clubs. If nothing else happened, she would return to her home after school in the afternoon, a temple called "Senju Temple" in the suburbs of Kyoto.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Asuka Karasawa sat there blankly, and the sound of the wooden fish beside her ears kept beating in a tone that seemed to have never changed, and kept beating. It kept beating, not fast or slow.

Is Dad performing a ritual?

"Thus I have heard: Once, the Buddha was in the Jetavana Grove in the country of Savatthi."

"At that time, the elder Subhuti was among the crowd."

"."

From the closed sliding door next to Asuka Karasawa, the sound of a gentle male voice reciting Buddhist scriptures came from afar. Since Asuka Karasawa returned to Kyoto from her mother in Tokyo, she has heard her father reciting Buddhist scriptures and beating wooden fish every day. This is indeed a troublesome thing for Asuka Karasawa, who has lived with her mother since childhood.

I don't seem to be doing homework

What am I doing?

In the dream, she felt that her consciousness was extremely heavy, and even the movement of looking down at the wooden table was frighteningly slow. It was not until several seconds later that she saw the scattered homework on the wooden table. On top of the homework, there was a Buddhist scripture spread out. The words on it were all Japanese copied by her father himself. Asuka Karasawa had a headache when she saw it.

Her academic performance was very poor, and her personality was very withdrawn. Basically, she had no friends.

What am I doing?

She didn't seem to be reading Buddhist scriptures.

Why was she reading Buddhist scriptures?

I hated these things the most. I felt annoyed every time I heard them. It was almost the 21st century, but people were still chanting sutras and being monks like antiques.

It was so strange.

So, what was she doing?

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Outside the door, the continuous sound of wooden fish continued to ring. Asuka Karasawa's slow consciousness slowly raised her head and saw that there was a small TV on the tatami not far in front of her. The TV was playing the animation "Neon Genesis Evangelion" produced by Tokyo TV.

"I will return the injured self-esteem 10 times!"

Looking at the beautiful appearance of the heroine in the red tight combat suit on TV, and hearing her iconic words clearly in her ears, Asuka Karasawa came back to her senses unconsciously.

The heroine seemed to have the same name as her own.

Yes, she seemed to be watching an animation.

I'm watching anime

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"The Buddha said: "Well, well! Subhuti! As you said, Tathagata is good at protecting and caring for all Bodhisattvas, and is good at entrusting all Bodhisattvas."

The sound of wooden fish is still outside the hall, the sliding door of the room is still closed, and the small TV in front of her is still repeating the picture of the protagonist of the animation with the same name as her

Asuka Karasawa tilted her head in a daze, still kneeling like a statue, motionless.

"Oh, my head hurts."

Asuka Karasawa covered her head uncomfortably, as if she had been hit hard there. She rubbed her eyes, and then saw a blurry shadow in front of her with difficulty,

"Are you awake, little girl?"

"Mr. Gelwen?"

"Well, it seems that you are almost awake. You were hit by the aftermath of the gospel relic forged by the angel Michael. Although it hit your head, you are just an ordinary human girl after all. This is the only misfortune among all the blessings. How do you feel now?"

"Hey? I have a headache and I seem to have had a dream just now."

"Dream?"

"Ah, but it's fine now, thank you. Where's Mr. Fisher?"

Tangze Asuka's consciousness became clearer and clearer. She rubbed her head and sat up. She found herself lying on the floor of a spacious room. Beside her was the whale-man Gelsemite. After hearing her question, Gelsemite smiled helplessly, pointed in one direction, and said,

"He, with a stinky face over there."

Tangze Asuka looked in the direction indicated by Gelsemite, and saw Fisher sitting by the window in the room with a cold face and his hands folded. His handsome face was bruised and purple, and it seemed that he had also suffered a lot of damage in the aftermath of the previous incident.

But strangely, Gelsemite seemed to be fine.

Tangze Asuka expressed her doubts to Gelsemite, but Gelsemite just shook his head and explained,

"Originally, there was nothing wrong with him, but who told him to meddle in other people's business and go get that Hellel Angel? Well, I have simply treated your wound. It should be nothing serious. We are all waiting for you. Wake up."

"Huh? Wait for me?"

"Yes, you are a transferred person, and you are from the same world as that gentleman. We wanted to talk to him just now, but he didn't seem to believe us at all, saying that he would not talk until you wake up. "

"That's right. It seems we just saw a Russian."

Asuka Karasawa immediately sat up. Fisher also rubbed the wound on his face and walked over from the window. He said to Asuka Karasawa,

"Angel Michael is still forging things, and it's difficult for us to get close. The guy is watching down below, waiting for when Michael finishes forging things and calls him to transfer. It's not easy. This room It's all given to him by Michael. He seems to be helping Michael forge something. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to talk to us at all, so we can only ask you."

Yes, since she was assassinated by Hellel, Fisher's name for her has changed from "Herel's Angel" to "that guy". Of course, this is in private, after all, they are still On the territory of the Holy Domain, not to mention that Helaire is a mythical species that is much higher than them.

"Ok, no problem!"

Karasawa Asuka nodded immediately after hearing this. She felt a little excited for some reason. Since she traveled to this world, she has not been able to help her at all. Fortunately, Fisher and Gelsemium have been helping her. Maybe she is just an ordinary person. She is a high school girl, but she still knows the most basic principle of repaying a favor. Helping them communicate with the person who transferred is probably one of the few things she can do.

Moreover, she also wanted to talk to the other party. Although they may have been just two strangers in different countries a few days ago, now that they are here, they may be able to call themselves "fellow earthlings". .

She took a deep breath, turned around and looked around, but was surprised to find that there were many very complicated angel tools with unknown uses in this room, and on each table, there were many scattered tools. parts and devices, and this is the second-floor room where the Russian just stood.

Gelsemium pointed to the depths of the room towards Karasawa Asuka. Karasawa Asuka walked a long distance in that direction, and then she saw another smaller room in the corner of this spacious room. There was a bed for sleeping in the room, which seemed to be the Russian's private resting place.

At this time, he was squatting next to the bed, playing with a bunch of strange parts scattered on the ground with one hand. He heard the footsteps of Karasawa Asuka behind him. He didn't look back, but just spoke to Karasawa Asuka in Russian. said,

"Are you okay? Many creatures here are stronger than human imagination. You are still a [Plain Body], so you are not dead. It's already good. [Mikhail], this is my name. What about you? It's Mitsui The company is still the daughter of Konoe Company, your body is really obvious."

Fisher and Gelsemium didn't understand what the other person was talking about at all, so they both looked at Asuka Karasawa, only to find that the little girl's face was more confused than theirs, and she seemed to have no idea what the other person was talking about. ghost,

"No, no, Mr. Mikhail, my name is Asuka Karasawa, just an ordinary Japanese high school student from Kyoto. You and I don't understand what you are doing. Konoe, body, etc."

Mikhail's movement of playing with the parts froze for a moment. Only his right hand put down the strange black parts in his hand. Then he turned his head little by little, glanced up and down at Asuka Karasawa in front of him with one eye, and then suddenly spoke asked,

"What year are you in?"

"Huh? This year, this world? I don't know, I was just..."

"I'm asking about the time in your world."

"Oh, 1996."

Mikhail's expression finally showed some obvious astonishment. Then, the corners of his mouth raised a little bit in mockery, and he turned around to fiddle with the parts at his feet.

"So that's it. Then you are lucky to live in a pretty good era. So, these two are also your friends?"

“It’s not a good era.”

After hearing this, Asuka Karasawa's face darkened slightly and she muttered something in a low voice, but Mikhail smiled and said,

"It was indeed a good era. At least you have not experienced a nuclear war, nor have you experienced how those big companies took away everything and used human beings as screws and scraps. Most of the time, the hope in your heart was It’s too despairing. Didn’t you just ask me what a body is? A body is a pure human being without any mechanical prosthesis implanted, a complete human being like you.”

"Why?"

Mikhail's single eye glanced at the wall next to him. Karasawa Asuka and Fisher all followed his gaze, and then they discovered that there was a small workpiece on the floor beside his bed. There are several strange-looking mechanical arms, mechanical spines and eyeballs on the table.

It seemed to correspond to the missing part of the strange man in front of him who called himself "Mikhail".

Gelsemium squinted and glanced around the various prosthetics on the wall, then turned his head and looked around carefully as if seeing the person in front of him for the first time, and then looked at him in surprise. Fisher next to him said,

"Mr. Fischer, this guy is missing more than just his hands and eyes. His respiratory and metabolic rates are wrong. There are other organs in his body that have been replaced, most likely the lungs. It's more than that. , and the proportions of the bones are wrong, unless he is born with a deformity."

Mikhail turned his head and looked at Asuka Karasawa, a little blue light flashed in his one eye.

“I come from New Russia, which was completely controlled by a weapons company called [Novosibirsk Wind] in 2156. In that era, people had to implant a variety of cheap illegal prosthetics in exchange for valuable job opportunities. There are even minors who are not yet fully developed. You should be able to imagine the twisted and painful appearance of their flesh and blood as their bodies begin to develop."

"Even if the rejection reaction between the human body and the prosthetic body is ignored, the implanted prosthetic body will penetrate into the bone marrow like a virus and corrode human nerves. During each activation and use, its coldness will eventually penetrate A person’s thoughts until they drive them completely crazy.”

"But even so, the reward for most people's hard work is just enough to make ends meet. Organ trafficking, drugs, and mergers are all happening every day in a world that is completely valuated by companies, taking away one life after another. , It’s as easy as cutting grass and pulling out screws. In comparison, does the Japanese society that just suffered the burst of the economic bubble look like heaven?”

Asuka Karasawa opened her mouth, as if she had once again encountered something beyond the limits of her life experience, leaving her speechless. She just pursed her lips and said "Sorry" sincerely, but Mikhail shook his head and then said,

"I don't mean to blame you, and you don't need to apologize for this. Anyway, talking about our original world is basically meaningless now. I just didn't expect to meet humans who are also from the earth here, even though you are a little too old. "

Karasawa Asuka would never have thought that the word "ancient" could be used for her, but the gentleman in front of her came from a world more than a hundred years later. Hey, wait a minute.

"Wait a minute, is it possible, Mr. Mikhail, that we are not actually from the same world? It could be a parallel world or something."

"It's possible, but there is no need to explore this. I can understand what you are saying. You also know the economic bubble I just mentioned. Even if there may be other differences, I am too lazy to explore. Also, these two "

Mikhail raised his eyebrows and looked at Fisher and Gelsemium behind Asuka Karasawa, with distrust almost written on his face. Upon seeing this, Asuka Karasawa immediately spoke,

"These two are Mr. Fisher and Mr. Gelsemium. Although they are from this world, they were caught by angels and are standing with us. Especially Mr. Fisher, he has a great influence on our world. You must understand that they are all good people.”

".Hopefully."

Mikhail withdrew his gaze from sizing up Fisher and the two of them, and began to lower his head to tinker with the parts in the drum. Asuka Karasawa was speechless. She pinched her fingers and thought for a long time without uttering a word. Fortunately, Fisher next to her came first. He took a quick look at the strange equipment outside and asked Mikhail,

"Mr. Mikhail, those things outside are not the work of angels, right?"

"Well, those are the technologies of our world. I don't have the exaggerated power of the angels. I can also use the sun to create items. But the angel named Michael is very fascinated by technology, any technology, so he stayed Let me make some copies of the items for him, and then he will let me go. But the things you see outside are not finished products, but simple machine tools. It took me half a year to make these things alone, Micah. Le also never urged me and only came to visit occasionally. "

After hearing this, Asuka Karasawa glanced at Fisher in surprise and said,

"So it seems that the Michael angel is not as bad as the other angels say?"

Gelsemium smiled and shook her head, but did not speak. Fisher looked at Karasawa Asuka and explained,

"Bad and good do not apply to angels. Even Sariel who hates Michael will not use the reason of 'bad'. As for why he is so tolerant to Michael and us, it is entirely because He was arrogant. He didn't care about us at all, and our life and death had no meaning to them."

Gelsemium took up Fisher's words and said,

"Unlike the elves who believe in the 'Thousands of Destinies' and the World Tree, angels believe in the creation of the Tao and the Lock of Heaven, which makes them basically indifferent to other living beings."

After hearing Gelsemium's words, Fisher suddenly thought that the Lock of Heaven, World Tree and Fima Baha should all be the children of the little water snake of Lamastia, so why do they have the characteristics of tending to other gods?

The Phoenix's ability to predict the future was first gained from looking at the World Tree, and her tree roots also have the ability to distort space. This has proven that the World Tree is closely related to Anebatos, the god of fate; and Angels love forging so much, and they seem to be connected with Aoyun, the legendary god who created matter.

Fisher touched his chin and was still thinking, while Asuka Karasawa looked at Mikhail's back with his head lowered and playing with parts with one hand, and suddenly asked uncontrollably,

"Well, Mr. Mikhail. If by then you are free and can leave the angel, what will you do next?"

Maybe this is the question she wants to ask herself. Even though she is now forced into the whirlpool of saving her life, she is actually confused no matter what.

She suddenly went from the familiar world to a dangerous and completely unfamiliar world. It was okay for her not to think about it, but once she thought about it, she thought about the world where she disappeared. There was still her father there. If she was not there, he would I will definitely be worried too

Mikhail was slightly stunned when he heard this, smiled mockingly at Karasawa Asuka, and said,

"Before the immediate matter has been resolved, and your own life is not 100% guaranteed to last, you are already thinking about the future?"

".Feel sorry."

Karasawa Asuka immediately apologized again, shrinking back like a child who was scolded by an elder.

Mikhail is still playing with the parts on the ground, but if you look closely, you will find that he has been repeating the same meaningless action.

After a long silence, he did not turn his head, but lowered his head and said,

"I'll try to find my way back"

".Why?"

Karasawa Asuka did not expect that the other party would suddenly answer her. After hearing this, she immediately raised her head in surprise, and then said with a smile,

"I thought. After all, Mr. Mikhail said that 2156 was very, very bad. I thought you didn't want to go back."

"Oh, I actually don't want to. But you know, there are still people who are worried about me waiting for me there, and there are some promises I made that I haven't fulfilled, so if there is a chance, I may still go back. "

Fisher looked at Mikhail's back and suddenly felt that this feeling was a bit familiar.

He seemed to have seen similar words in Caleb Uzi's Soul Completion Manual.

This is not sarcastic, because if you think about it from his perspective, if Fisher suddenly appeared in another world, he would probably want to come back here when he thought that there were still people waiting for him and thinking about him.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

In this extremely quiet atmosphere of reminiscing, a burst of crisp applause suddenly sounded from behind them, scaring Karasawa Asuka to the point where she almost jumped up. Gelsemium raised an eyebrow and Mikhail looked back, Fisher As soon as I turned around, my face was covered with black lines.

Behind them, the beautiful angel with short curly blond hair and a faint shimmer all over her body was wiping the moisture from the corners of her eyes with great emotion. She clapped her hands while wiping and said with a choked voice,

"Well said, I'm so touched. The warm feeling of a stranger's prayer for returning home, and the warmth of everyone thinking together is really unbearable to interrupt. I'm so touched. Everyone, don't worry, I I will definitely help you to the end.”

".when did you come?"

Everyone was speechless as they looked at the tearful Helaire in front of them. Fisher was the first to speak and asked Helaire.

As soon as she heard Fisher's question, Heller's crying immediately disappeared, and her beautiful face was instantly covered by that familiar smile. She nodded her chin and said with a smile,

"Oh, it doesn't matter that you came here when you first started talking. It's not a shameful thing, and I won't tell anyone else. Maybe I can give you some friendly suggestions for your goals, if you don't mind. In this way, you get to know each other and I witness such interesting things. Isn’t it a win-win?”

Fisher sighed, looked at Heller and said,

"So, what was your original purpose for coming here?"

"Ah, this."

Heller's smile faded little by little. She pointed outside, in the direction of downstairs, looked at Fisher and said,

"Master Michael is finally free now. Next, he will activate the solar ring. At that time, you will not be able to stay for the entire fifth day, so he wants to see you now, Fisher."
