Returning from the abyss

Chapter 291 The Curtain Comes to an End—Splashes in the Long River

"What is... the ending?" Zhu You stammered and asked.

This time it was Lu Ning who answered her: "It's very simple, the witch and Baihu Town are finally in the same space now, and the events of so many years should have an end. No matter what it is, it must not be the current state .”

"Then we..."

"Relax, we are now in the auditorium, the special auditorium." Asayama smiled and comforted, "We won't do anything more, right, Lu Ning?"

"Well... I would like to thank you for being willing to give up an optional task."

"You have given me most of the main line of the ceremony in return, which is enough to make up for it. Speaking of the three of us, I wish you the easiest way to see the whole process."

===============
Carl galloped through the woods, even using jump time continuously.

All the Witch's Bones have been detonated, everything on both sides of the door has been turned into the dust of time, but the sky is still mixed with light and shadow, the hole still hasn't disappeared, and the Witch is still walking towards Baihu Town.

Effective, but not fully effective.

"We still think less..." Carl rushed into the town, stepped over the crowd who had just shaken their spirits from prayer, rushed to the place where hunters often gather, and asked loudly where Fujii and the others were.

Finally, at the exit on the south side of the town, he caught up with Fujii, Sugiyama and Tachikawa who were about to go out.

"Wait a moment……"

After strenuous exercise, he was even a little out of breath, but Fujii expressed his thoughts when he saw him.

"Since you're here, it means you've used all of the Witch's Bones? Didn't achieve the desired effect?"

"Ha...ha..." Carl nodded again and again, propped his knees and tried to calm his breathing, and Fujii's voice at this moment returned to that calmness. She had already drank Lu Ning's bottle of medicine, and she was at her best at the moment.

"But the detonation did have an effect, and you can see it by looking at the sky. Your idea is correct. Blowing up the time node can indeed break free from the shackles of the witch. Now it's not enough power, or the node is not unique."

Carl finally took a breath: "Yes, you have thought of it, then you should know..."

"Mine. Li Chuan, Robert's narration, and Lu Ning made a special trip to the town. The place that has not been explored clearly in this town is the mine. The mine should also be a node of time. If it is blown up there, it should be possible. Split the whole town from time to time." Fujii said, "There is only one problem now, the Witch's Bones have been used up."

Yes, in order to ensure that the node of the lake house can be destroyed, Carl used up all the witch bones stored by the Herman family, and now even if he goes to the Herman family to get them, he still can't find them.

Kadrina said that it takes three days to prepare the Witch's Bones, but now they may not even have three hours.

The witch was walking towards the town at a very slow speed, as if she was still in the inflated time.But everyone knows that she won't be so slow forever.

But Carl laughed anyway.

"Yes, we don't have Witch's Bones anymore."

"Dead end."

"No, I am the initiator of this plan, and I will not let it become a dead end." Carl took out a bullet casing from his arms and put it into Fujii's hands.

"what?"

"I have two of these, talismans, and they've always brought me good luck, and now it's no different... There's always a solution to everything, although maybe not the one everyone wants to see."

Fujii frowned, and was about to speak when Karl interrupted him.

"Give this to Robert and ask him to pass it on to 'the guy,' and say it's a pity that Uncle Carl missed his appointment, but he's still doing what he thinks he should be doing."

"This is not what you should choose! It's just a failure! It's not a problem for us to survive now!" Fujii said sharply. She didn't know where Carl found his way out, but it was definitely not a good thing.

"Dear Miss Detective, not everyone can keep plenty of points at all times." Carl raised his hat and showed a lazy smile again, "I believe you have, but sometimes the cowboy will get nothing. It’s a penny, so even if you go back, the result will be the same.”

"Even if you have a negative score, there are still fifteen days and elimination, you can still..."

"Cowboys should be able to choose which battlefield they die on. Compared with the unknown elimination scene, I still prefer this place like my hometown." Carl tidied up his clothes, took out the hip flask, and took a sip for himself. "Besides, I'm not necessarily dead, it's just that I may have gone for a longer time."

"You are going to the future." Fujii had figured out Carl's plan during this time.

"Yes, if there is no Witch's Bones here, there may not be any over there. And the explosion is the same in any world. After all, the Witch's Bones are explosives against time."

"That's just a possibility..."

"No, no, no, we're saying it's possible now, but it must exist over there." Carl shook the wine jug, and the liquid in it made a hollow swaying sound, "Did you forget? It's been pulled into another dimension, It is a time where there are only all possibilities and no progress. As long as I enter there, I can definitely find the existence of the Witch's Skeleton from those possibilities. The best thing is that in a world where time does not advance, I can find it for as long as I want .”

He poured the last of the wine down his throat, wiped his mouth, and threw the jug away.At this moment, Ryo Tachikawa took a step forward: "Mr. Carl, please forgive me..."

"Li Chuan, you are a good person, so please protect these two girls. According to what you said, ordinary movement cannot pass through the returning cave. If there is, it can only be my 'time jump'. "

Karl waved his hand to stop Tachikawa from continuing, looked at Sugiyama's unwilling face and Fujii's frowning, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"Relax girls, we're going to find out someday that we can't do anything about it, but we do our best, and that's what it is."

After speaking, he went to the mine without looking back.

The witch is gradually approaching the town, and everything around her is rapidly repeating from life to death, and then reappearing again, such a process is endless.When a grass dies, does the same grass grow from there?After a person dies, is it still the same person who replaces that person?
For witches, yes.

That's all homogeneous, so she didn't restrict the release of those time forces.Due to some accidents, the falling consciousness could not be completely contained in the body, but as long as the excess time energy can be emptied after a period of time, she will be able to fully grasp the remaining power.

As for how long this period of time is, and what these "times" have changed, it makes no difference to her.

But Karl arrived at the mine before then.

The mine has been reopened at some point, and a figure in white clothes is standing at the entrance of the mine, carrying a suitcase in his hand, looking like a traveler who is just about to go on a long trip.

"Ma'am, you look lonely." Carl walked up and said what they said when they first met.

"Cowboy, this is not the place for you." Kadrina answered him with the same words.

"But that's why I came, and now I'm here because of you." Carl grinned and continued to repeat.

Kadrina raised her eyes and glanced at Carl: "I'm looking for the end of this world, what color can you add to this world without a future?"

"At least the past and the future will not lose our colors."

Carl laughed, and stretched out his hand to hold Kadrina's hand, and a relieved smile appeared on Kadrina's eternally sad face.

"Can you do anything?"

"Of course I do. No one in this town knows time better than I do."

The two held hands like this, and while talking like old friends, they walked into the depths of the mine.

Ten minutes later, the witch approached the town. The ancient walls had been eroded by time. People crouched on the ground trembling. Only a few people were still standing in the most conspicuous place, watching the witch's figure clearly step by step.

Then, the really bright light shone down, and the golden yellow light belonging to autumn fell on the witch's pure black clothes, but there seemed to be no reflection.The sun dispelled the darkness, revealing the golden silhouette again, the witch's steps stopped, she could feel the hole in the sky had completely disappeared, and the connection with the main consciousness was completely cut off.

She became a real "person" in this world.

Fujii, Sugiyama, and Lichuan were walking along the main road of Nanfang Farm. A car stopped not far away. Robert, Shen Lishu, and Ye Chuqing got out of the car. understand what happened.Afterwards, a person slowly clapped his hands and walked over from another field path. Yu Guiting looked leisurely, and he seemed to have expected the current result.

At this time, a shadow was cast in the sky, and everyone looked up and found that it was a flying carpet.

A waiter with a feathered head sat in the front of the flying carpet in a fluffy and loose Arab costume, and behind them sat Lu Ning, Zhu You and Asayama Kiyotaro.

"Ah~ Tourists are here~"

Feather announced in an exaggerated tone, then opened his hand, and the flying carpet slowly landed.This blanket is huge, with more than a dozen square meters, enough for everyone to sit on it, but it is clear that the return journey from the distribution center will not be so simple.

"Everyone can go down from the square one, which is the rest area~" Yu Yu compared with his hands, and there was indeed an obvious blue square area on the flying carpet, and Yu Guiting, who went up from that side, stepped on it On the square, it went down until the ankle.

"Are these the only ones?" Shanshan asked Feather coldly.

"Yes!"

Sugiyama gritted his teeth, feeling about to explode, but was taken aback by Yu Yu's next sentence.

"Miss, don't be so depressed. It is very rare to end with a survival rate of more than 50.00%. This is a result to be proud of!"

Feather's consolation was completely off point like all the waiters, but Sugiyama didn't care about that, she only heard the words "survival rate exceeds 50.00%".

"We...we are ten people..." Sugiyama turned his head and glanced at all the people, feeling a little dazed for a moment, "At first there were 24 tourists, right?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I brought this sack here?" Lu Ning sat cross-legged on the flying carpet, shook the sack at hand twice, then picked up the bottom of the bag and poured out the contents.

Qu Siyuan and Pan Haishu rolled out first with only their heads and half of their chests left, and they were still entangled with dense roots of the witch's heart. Inahara was a little better, at least he used a bag to cover it up, which was also used The witch's heart simply maintains its life, retaining a part of its body.

Seeing the "tragic situation" of the three people, Shanshan was startled and angry at first, and then realized what Lu Ning had done.

"As long as you're alive when you get here, it's impossible to die." Lu Ning snorted, stood up, walked towards the blue square, and said in a low voice, "I'm not going to die this time." will be missed."

Inside the flying carpet is a bar with a huge area, which is much larger than the appearance of the flying carpet from the outside.This is one of the space technologies of the distribution center. It is said that some high-level tourists have also learned related theoretical knowledge, but that is quite far away for second-level tourists.

Lu Ning sat down on a high stool by the bar. Behind the bar was a waiter who was dressed similarly to Feather, except that his head was an oil lamp.

"Excuse me, what do you want?" The oil lamp bowed slightly to Lu Ning.

"A cup of vanilla tea, and a refreshment." Lu Ning said, and then she looked at the oil lamp, "I have never seen a waiter dressed like you."

"We don't have a prescribed attire, it's just that everyone dresses uniformly because they find it troublesome." Oil Lamp chuckled, opened a metal cabinet behind the bar, and brought out the drinks and snacks that Lu Ning wanted.

At this time, the rest of the tourists also came down from the block-shaped passage.After Qu Siyuan, Pan Haishu, and Inawara Ayano entered this space, the witch's heart entangled on their bodies disappeared, their limbs grew out quickly, and even their clothes were patched up to make them brand new. It is still a caring and perfect distribution center service.

"Please give me a glass of rum." Asayama Kiyotaro walked to the bar, leaned on the bar and smiled at Lu Ning.At the moment, he looks like a nobleman from high society, and his identity and temperament are slightly different from that of the geologist in the scene.

But the seat between the two was immediately occupied by another person.

Fujii Xueyin was finally liberated from that cold state, apparently she herself was also relieved by this, Lu Ning finally saw the familiar Fujii with a trace of gentleness.

"Congratulations." Fujii nodded to Lu Ning, putting on that refreshing smile.

"It has some information advantages." Lu Ning said.

"Don't be humble, it makes sense no matter what you win." Fujii rubbed his cheeks, "This scene is really tossing people, I think it's hard for me to understand actors."

"I'll probably ask Shu Xingruo how to practice acting when I go back."

Fujii nodded, and then asked the oil lamp: "Waiter, one of us went to a world that is completely different from the situation we are in now. They are..."

"Three people." Oil Lamp stretched out three fingers and shook, "First of all, they cannot be included in the people who successfully completed the task this time, because that is not the area that our ordinary reception team is responsible for. But you don't have to worry, special The situation handling team will then go to that world. They can deal with any variable-dimensional world whose divergence is less than [-] to the [-]th power. If they can’t do it, we have a more specialized team... the people in the distribution center, as long as It’s not about voluntarily giving up or dying, and it will be fished back anyway.”

The oil lamp paused, and then said: "But it's best for you to treat them as dead. First of all, even if you come back to cognition in that state, there will already be problems. In addition, the search and rescue time is too long for you humans to calculate. Waiting for them Come back, you have definitely made it home or died in which scene you don’t know.”

The waiter didn't say the length of time, but Lu Ning knew that it might be an astronomical figure.
