Chapter 886

She was afraid.

So, she finally chose to stagnate.

"Maybe."

Honoka Takasaka smiled bitterly. In fact, she also felt uneasy about the future.

Maybe what she was doing now was just useless?

What's more, although she temporarily delayed the death of the people in Zeya City, she might have accelerated the demise of the entire earth?

But, when she thought that the future of mankind was destined to end in a sad ending, she could not be indifferent no matter what. Even if it was just a tiny hope, she just wanted to reach out and grab it in her hand.

Honoka Takasaka did not want to give up.

"But even if they deceived me, there must be a reason for deceiving me. If I take it as the next direction and move forward step by step, I think I might be able to get closer to the future I want to go to.

If I really can't communicate with the overlord, I will try every means to make them obedient. If this doesn't work, then..."

"Reality is not that simple!"

Nagasaki Suyo covered her face and felt that her emotions were beginning to get out of control.

"Have you forgotten that it is because we are easily manipulated by others that Umi..."

"That's why we can't give up!"

Honoka Kosaka took a step forward and broke open Nagasaki Motoyo's hands, and for the first time looked into the eyes that had lost their tenderness.

"I can't forgive myself for killing Umi anyway, so I can't ignore what the World Tree did, because if I do that, I will be watching more innocent people like Umi die without saving them! I have no way out!"

"!?"

The same short sentence was spoken by another person who was different but similar. The strange feeling made Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes widen, and she looked at the person in front of her in some surprise.

——Why is it like this again?

The similarity that made me feel at ease in the past has now become chilling.

Once upon a time, such a person also appeared in front of me, but now she has completely become a stranger to me.

Nagasaki Motoyo clenched her fists and squeezed out words from her throat as if she was making a final resistance.

"In that case, what if you do something irreversible again, Honoka?"

"If it really comes to that time."

Honoka Kousaka smiled wisely.

"Let Suyo stop me, after all, Suyo is much smarter than me!"

As she said that, Honoka Kousaka patted Suyo Nagasaki on the shoulder, looked at the other's eyes that gradually calmed down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"... She obviously won't listen to me at all."

"What?"

"No."

Patting her cheek, Suyo Nagasaki tried to force a smile, but in the end she could only look back at Honoka Kousaka stiffly.

"I mean, leave it to me~"]

BB Channel: Ah, both dialogue judgments failed, and both the tsundere offensive and the straight ball offensive failed. The strength of this heart wall is really high.

Accountant Ishigami: No, did Suyo Nagasaki really only experience the disbandment of a band before? Is the band such a terrible thing?

Archangel Shimokitazawa: No! It's not!

RiNG God of Pressure: I think this is Xiangzi's fault, because she used to use this cheerful mode to force us to do things.

Vehicle Killer: What is cheerful Xiangzi? There is such a thing?

Customer Service Xiaoxiang: ...

Stemless Bird: No, why are you relieved, Hono Jam? Isn't this completely unconvincing?

Fruit King: This... This is not my fault. If we can't see Su Shi's psychological activities by watching the video, who would know that she thinks like this?

Long-term vegetarian: To be honest, even I can't understand it.

Masked Devil: Delicious, too delicious! This gravity spiral accumulated by the constant interweaving of misunderstandings and girlish hearts! It's really an unprecedented good taste! And the taste is getting stronger and stronger! I didn't expect that there would be such a person in other worlds. It really touched me!

Super High School Level Despair: It is indeed a despair that I have never experienced.

Goddess of Water: It's too heavy, come and make some jokes to ease the atmosphere!

Guichu Kazuma: I'm not a comedian! Although I really want to complain about you loudly, this time I feel the same way as you. Are there any more scenes for me and Uncle Huanglian? The atmosphere is almost suffocating!

【"For pastry chefs, physical strength is the foundation? Sing!"

As if hearing the audience's thoughts, and as if to neutralize the gravity field released by Nagasaki Suyo, the deep tenor broke the silence of the morning park.

A muscular man in military uniform hummed a self-composed ditty while tilting his head to urge the young man behind him to speed up his pace.

In sharp contrast to the relaxed strong man, the young man in his favorite green sportswear was moving his legs like a zombie. With every step, his chest rose and fell violently like a blower, accompanied by a hoarse roar squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

If someone who didn't know saw this scene, they might think that some zombie crisis had come to reality.

Only the old men and women who often stroll around here know that the two people chasing each other are Huang Lian and Sato Kazuma, who have not appeared for a long time.

After the joint performance, Sato and Shinshi became Phoenix Lotus's disciples and began special training.

What puzzled Sato Kazuma was that Huanglian only asked him to repeat physical exercise, pastry technique teaching and fashion show practice day after day, but he never taught him anything about fighting. The planning of skills.

Forget about physical training, Sato Kazuma admitted that his physical fitness as a otaku did lower the lower limit of the knight system.

There is nothing wrong with making pastries. After all, I have become his disciple, so it is impossible not to inherit his mantle.

but……

"Who can explain to me, what the hell is a fashion show? Does this have anything to do with our special training at Charmont?"

As he thought about it, Sato Kazuma became angrier and angrier, and finally today he couldn't help but question Huang Lian loudly.

Huang Lian gave him a toothy smile, and then pointed at his feet.

"well?"

Sato Kazuma looked down and saw that because of his distraction just now, he had unknowingly walked onto a mine.

——Where did the landmines come from?

The moment this idea emerged, Sato Kazuma's body seemed to be electrified, and he completed the transformation with the fastest hand speed in his life.

“Never Give Up!”

"boom!!!"

The familiar sound effects of Kuridan's transformation were mixed with the roar of landmines, and Sato Kazuma, who was blown up into the sky, fell back to the ground with an expression of despair.

——Well, speaking of it, it seems that I did learn a skill related to combat.

Sato Kazuma, who was still in the shape of a kuri ball and pouting on the ground, thought helplessly.

——That's how to quickly transform under the master's various sneak attacks...

…

The perspective came to the 3-person group of World Tree 25.

After the three people really voluntarily worked overtime overnight, they tried their best to integrate all the information currently available from all aspects.

"That's it, that's it~"

On the way back to the laboratory, he used his mobile phone to watch the combat data about the Overlord True Red obtained by Nishikino Maki from the Exorcism Ring Dou. Mebius's face showed excitement at first, but soon he returned. Another question comes to mind.

"How is the giraffe investigation going?"

"It didn't go very well."

Nishikino Maki shook her head and said helplessly.

"After multiple confirmations, we found that his household registration was forged, and the several bank accounts under his name had no trace of being used. Even the residential address he filled in had actually been abandoned for many years."

"In other words, this guy has been deceiving Yggdrasil from the beginning?"

Sid clicked his tongue and opened the door to the laboratory for the two of them.

For a while, they felt that they had no way of finding out about this mysterious Mr. Giraffe who was beyond the control of the three people.

Fortunately, the kind-hearted Mr. Giraffe never sees anyone in trouble. In the laboratory that was supposed to be deserted, the magnetic bass reached the ears of the three people who had just entered the laboratory in the next second.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, did you have a nice night?"

Under the gazes of the three people with different expressions, the chair where Mebius sat most often turned towards them, revealing the dull-eyed alpaca hood behind him.

This originally somewhat silly and cute image appeared to be quite intimidating in the current atmosphere, with its dark eyes reflecting a strange light under the incandescent lamp.

Seeing the expressions of Mebius and others, the giraffe chuckled.

"I understand.

You should have almost started investigating me, so I came here specially. I hope you don't mind. "

"You guy!"

Feeling the strange pressure emanating from the giraffe, Sid just took out the Locked Seed and prepared to transform, but was stopped by Mebius.

"No, you came at the right time. I just wanted to have a good chat with you~"

The green-haired girl showed a sweet smile, trotted up to the other person, and wanted to reach out to take off the other person's hood. Naturally, the latter dexterously turned her head to avoid this move.

"Okay, okay."

Mebius withdrew his hand, but his eyes were still scanning the opponent's hood, as if looking for some opportunity.

"If your true identity doesn't work, then you can always tell me who you are, right? And why do you do those things?"

"I'm just a spectator."

The giraffe adjusted his hood.

"That's why I feel dissatisfied with the game in which you have a unilateral advantage, and I can't help but want to support the unfavorable side. Is this human nature?"

"So, you chose to help Takasaka Honoka?"

"That's right."

The giraffe nodded, then shook his head.

"However, it would really be unfair to you to only help that child, and I don't want to be regarded as an enemy by you."

"Then are you planning to help us too?"

Mebius narrowed his eyes and stared at the giraffe who stood up from his position.

"Of course, that's exactly what I'm here for."

This time, the latter nodded clearly. 】

837: The inevitable moment (4k)

["Of course, that's exactly why I'm here."

The giraffe said as he stood up from Mebius' seat and started to straighten his neat black suit.

Perhaps it was the first time that he had carefully observed this person at such a close distance. Mebius clearly sensed something that he had not been able to detect in the past, such as the strong sense of inhumanity exuding from the other person.

Such an unusual situation not only did not dampen Mebius's interest, but instead made her interest even more intense.

"But before that, I want to know your true purpose."

The giraffe seemed to be unaware of the change in Mebius' expression. He took steps and visited this laboratory that he had never theoretically entered under the watchful eyes of the three people.

"If I figure this out, I can answer the question you most want to know."

"Needless to say, of course it is the extension of human beings..."

Without thinking, Sid imagined pulling the flag as usual, but the giraffe would not be satisfied with such an unintentional speech, so he shook his head and thought about this boring answer.

"Human relief? Ark Project? These things, but they were created by you to make it easier to use the resources of the World Tree Foundation. I think that at least everyone present will not care about these things, right? ?”

The giraffe circled around the laboratory and came back behind Mebius, who was biting his nails and starting to think.

"Your purpose must be something higher. Isn't that right, Dr. Mebius?"
