Chapter 78 The Dead Mayans, Where Zeus Goes, He's Hiding Among Us

December 12, 26:9 pm Tokyo time.

Xia Mingwei woke up from the bed, looked down at the quilt on his body, and wondered who covered him.He looked around, as if looking for someone, but couldn't find it, so he lifted the quilt and got out of bed quickly, put on his shoes, and walked quickly to the attic at the top of the church.

There is a girl sitting on the window sill reading a book. Outside the window is the brightly lit Tokyo, and the night is like a curtain shrouded above the radiant Tokyo Tower.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Qing Zhulin didn't look up, "Obviously when you lie on the bed, you seem to be dead, and you can't wake up..."

Tokyo's neon halo spilled into the attic, dyeing her hair as hazy as butterfly wings, and even the floor was soaked in colorful colors.

She has finished watching "Snow Country", and now she is watching Kawabata Yasunari's revised collection of works for the [-]th anniversary, which includes "Fishing Fire", "The Dancing Girl of Izu" and so on.

That's because once I let this clone fall asleep, I don't look at him anymore... Xia Mingwei really wanted to say this, but forget it:
"I just can't sleep today."

Qing Zhulin didn't speak, just stretched out his white right hand, and pushed another book on the ground towards him. Xia Mingwei glanced at it. This book was "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Xia Mingwei took the book and sat opposite Qing Zhulin, the evening wind outside the window gently blowing into this triangular space.

"Robert, you look weird today," she said suddenly.

"I don't know what happened today." Xia Mingwei opened the book and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Is it."

Xia Mingwei didn't speak. He tried to turn the pages of the book, but he felt upset. The words seemed to be densely packed and unreadable.

He was silent for a long time, then suddenly said:

"The only person I can trust is you."

"Me too." Qing Zhulin was slightly taken aback, and looked up from the book, "So...why is our Robert unhappy today?"

Xia Mingwei looked at her face, and recalled that time at the ball, Qing Zhulin said to him, "Every time you look at me, you look at something else", at that time he was startled, almost He even stepped on the wrong dance steps, but in the end it was just a casual perfunctory sentence, and Kiyotake Rin believed him.

But he still had to lie, as if he was stuck in the crack, and he couldn't breathe.

"It's about the reincarnation. When I think that we might be eaten, I feel a little painful." Xia Mingwei lowered his head, his tone pretending to be relaxed, "Maybe it's that kind of inexplicable feeling... When I wake up at night, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have nothing... I was almost suffocating."

He was silent for a moment, then put the book on the ground, his chest was as heavy as a stone: "Isn't it silly?"

Qing Zhulin had never seen Robert showing such an expression, she looked at his face quietly, then lowered her eyes, as if thinking.

Xia Mingwei turned his head slowly, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in Tokyo wearily: "I already... don't know who else I can trust."

"I'm here," she said.

"what?"

"I have been here." Qing Zhulin said, "If there is anything, you can talk to me." After a pause, she said lightly: "Well... After all, the home robot is out of order, and the owner has to in charge of repairs."

Xia Mingwei smiled softly, and looked at her for a long time, until Qing Zhulin's ear tips were slightly red, she lowered her head and continued to read, half of her face was covered by the book.

"Then please fix me, I've been too weird today," he said.

"Okay, can you chat with me?"

"Well, church is closed tomorrow anyway."

On the same day, at 1:[-] p.m. Beijing time.

"What are you going to do with Xia Mingwei?" William turned his head and asked, "A sequencer who has lived with the mythical carrier for four years, do you really think this kid can be trusted?"

"He is very important," Suad said, "he is the bait to attract the sun god Ra and Anubis, and also the key to open the inverted pyramid. More importantly, he is the future of the sequencers , the only visionary in the world, the potential that this name implies is unpredictable."

"Really." William sneered, "Whatever you want, I'm leaving." After the words fell, he had already retracted the sniper rifle into the sequence.

Naoki Hansawa came over and said in a rambling voice:
"That kid Gu Lindong slipped away really fast, oh, even William is gone, as expected, colleagues are colleagues, there is no real affection."

"Gu Lindong has always been like this." Suad said lightly, "I have been paying attention to him since he was still in Oribel Academy, and his bad temper is his biggest problem. But no matter what, it cannot be denied that he is The most talented rank among the Sequencers has squeezed into the highest level of the executive board at the age of just over 20 years old, who else can do this?"

"It's really not sure, the academy has introduced so many talents recently." Naoki Hansawa said with a smile, "Let me think about it, what about Jiang Zixiao, Pasha Hogan, and that bastard from the Medici family? Kid 'Giovanni', and this Xia Mingwei, the potential stocks you personally appointed."

"Still, it will take a while for them to grow up, but I have a vague sense that we don't have much time left, Banze."

"Are you referring to Anubis?" Naoki Hansawa was silent for a moment.

"Yes, Anubis is still alive." Suad lowered his eyes and said deeply.

"Is it what the time traveler said, that makes you think so?"

"Yes, since the day of the entrance ceremony, Albert has fallen into a long sleep, and even the signs of life are getting weaker and weaker, but the information he wants to bring to us has been conveyed exactly." Suad took a deep breath, "Anubis is still alive, it just used some means to temporarily disappear from the world. According to our speculation, it may have hidden itself in a space that 'maintains its physical state' to counterbalance The loss of fantasy energy."

"That's really falling from heaven to hell. I still remember that two years ago, when the short-lived Mayan fortune-teller told us 'Anubis is dead', your expression was really relieved. I rarely I see you so relaxed."

Suad raised his head and looked towards the rainy sky: "Nava has the only sequence of fortune tellers in the world. At the same time, she is also a descendant of the slaughtered Mayans. I trust her very much. With her divination, we A lot of significant information has been obtained, and Anubis' death is one of them."

He paused, and his voice became serious:
"But now the situation has changed. Nava is dead. No one can explain why she died in the academy. I was shocked by her death. I thought Olibear Academy was the safest place in the world, but At that time, this perception was completely overturned."

"There is an inner ghost hiding in the academy." Hansawa Naoki gasped, the rain wet his long braids.

Suad put his hands behind his back and nodded:

"At that time, we were about to ask Nava to divination the location of the mythical carrier 'Zeus', but one hour before the scheduled divination, Nava suddenly disappeared. Later her body was found in the dormitory of the Academy, when she Her face has been burnt to a blur, her body is also mutilated, and the marks left on her body... It's like being eaten by a wild beast, and there are hideous tooth marks everywhere."

"The person who did this is really a beast." Naoki Hansawa was stunned for a moment, "Wait... cannibalism?" He suddenly recalled the ferocious appearance of Zeus when he ate the old man just now.

Suad was silent.

Naoki Hansawa took a deep breath: "Do you think it was not the Sequencer who killed the 'Divist' Nava, but the myth carrier?"

"Yes, this inner ghost is most likely not a sequencer." Suad said, "As far as we know, myth carriers can maintain their sanity for several years by devouring their own kind, but they also have a way to prevent loss of control. That is to devour the Sequencer, but this method is not effective, at most it will be effective in a short period of time, but as long as it continues to devour the Sequencer, this mythological carrier can continue to maintain sanity."

"what do you mean……"

"Don't you think that the death rate of students during the three years' attendance is ridiculously high?" Suad asked quietly.

"These students didn't die during the mission, but were swallowed by that mythical carrier?" Naoki Hansawa asked hoarsely.

"That's right," Suad's eyes flashed, "And when I think about it now, Nava's head didn't look like it was scorched by fire at that time. It shouldn't be flames, but..."

"It's thunder and lightning." Naoki Hansawa blurted out, at this moment a beam of thunder light fell from the sky, and the deafening thunder shook the goosebumps all over his body.

"Yes...it's thunder and lightning."

"Crazy... This world is really crazy." Hansawa Naoki supported his head with his hands, and took a deep breath.

Suad looked at the thunder that danced among the clouds from a distance: "Zeus... is probably hiding inside the Olibel Academy, and it is the murderer who killed Nava. And in the past few years, it Continue to feed on students to maintain your sanity."

"But it found that it was about to reveal itself, so it urgently needed another method to keep the myth sequence from getting out of control." Naoki Hansawa continued.

"Yes," Suad said, "that's why it is eager to eat a myth carrier. It can't continue to eat students to maintain its sanity, because we won't let him succeed."

"Then since it has already eaten Surtur, it won't need to continue eating Sequencers for a long time to come."

"That's right." Suad said in a deep voice, "It is more difficult for us to find Zeus from the academy. It has been flawless in the past few years. Only the necessary demand of devouring the sequencer prevents him from Without giving away some telltale signs, now even its last weakness is gone."

"So, what exactly is Zeus' intention?"

"Based on my guess..." Suad took a deep breath, "It wants to break into the executive bureau and completely destroy the Sequencer organization."

He paused: "Otherwise, what other intentions do you think it might have?"

The bitter torrential rain was still falling, Suad's gray eyes were filled with solemn light, and the hem of his clothes was blown messily by the wind.

The cigarette butt in Hanzawa Naoki's hand flickered on and off, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Aside from this time, when was the last time Zeus appeared in our sight?"

"Three years ago." Suad replied softly.

"That year," Naoki Hansawa said thoughtfully, lowering his head, "was it the time when we killed 'Kaguya Hime'..."
