I have found out your real name

Chapter 217 Interlude
In the activity room, Hori Rinko sat upright at one end of the long table, with his hands on his knees and staring intently at the person opposite him, like a detective giving silent pressure to prisoners in an interrogation room.

Li Wu, who was playing the role of a suspect, had the illusion that she would have to change her name, occupation and gender three times next, so she avoided looking at her childhood sweetheart and looked to the left and right.

Aoi Hoshikawa frowned and stared at the table, as if trying to unravel the relationship between human beings and the universe by studying the direction of the lines, just like a great scholar immersed in philosophical thinking.

Airisa is relatively the one who is the least different from usual. At this moment, she is just watching the expressions of the other three people back and forth every six seconds.

Everything was normal when I first came back from the water tower - or the first seal that revealed the prototype. However, when everyone gathered in the activity room again, especially to avoid missing any key information, they reviewed the records that were obviously written by the hand of light. After that, the atmosphere became what it is now.

"Cuckoo-"

The pigeons pacing comfortably on the table flapped their wings, called twice and then jumped onto the two notebooks placed in the center.

That's right, the creature found in the first seal did not disappear with the change of seal, but followed them back to school.

The dullness that had lasted for some time was broken, and Airisa took the opportunity to ask: "In other words, Li Wu and Xiaoguang believe that the world we live in now and our perception of reality are distorted? "

"I think so."

Li Wu nodded to her, "Judging from Guang and I's memories of going to the water tower, there is obviously a big difference between the world in the memories and reality."

"What if your memories have been tampered with?"

Hoshikawa Aoi raised her head, "Actually, the things recorded in the notebook never happened."

Light immediately retorted: "Impossible."

"Horirin-san, what basis do you have for saying that?"

She looked directly into the other person's eyes without giving in.

"Because this is a precious memory that Xiaowu and I have to commemorate meeting each other, so it is impossible to remember it wrong. It must be the world's fault."

The head of the Brave Club threw out an unexpected and completely emotional answer, which caught Aoi Hoshikawa off guard.

"Instead of arguing about this, why not take a look at the contents of the other book?"

Before she could say anything else, Li Wu suggested.

Otherwise, his wavering caused by the blunt words that Guang suddenly said just now will be discovered.

"Yes, maybe there are new clues in it."

Airisa tried to break the deadlock and handed him the black notebook after driving away the pigeons above.

After some research after bringing it back, I found that the lock on the side is not a special device, and it should be able to be broken by using brute force.

Li Wu broke open the seal and opened the title page.

Different from the blue notebook I bought just yesterday, the first impression I felt when touching this notebook was that it was old. The yellowed pages seemed to have been affected by countless time and exuded a rustic and musty atmosphere. It seemed as if a little force could ravage it into pieces of paper.

There is a line of small golden words printed on the title page like a motto:

【Song of Farewell upon Encounter】

The content recorded in it is not much different from the format of the other book. It is also narrated in a diary-like tone, and there is nothing difficult to understand in the text.

In order to facilitate the other three people, Li Wu summarized and dictated while reading: "...the date was blurred, and the first line was crossed out... [Hit by a truck. I thought 'I' was going to die, but when I woke up Later, I found myself in a different world. The different world actually exists! If you go back, you must tell...] ​​The narrator stopped writing halfway through writing, and then jumped to the next paragraph, ['I' was given for some reason. I gained extremely powerful power—no, maybe it was the pale power of holy light sealed in my right hand that finally awakened. This country seemed to be in danger, and in order to find a possible way to return home, 'I' decided to go see Its ruler.]”

After reading this paragraph, Li Wu and his childhood sweetheart looked at each other and shouted in unison: "The brave is calling!"

"what is that?"

Airisa was startled by these two people.

Because it was troublesome to explain, Li Wu left it to Guang for help and continued reading.

"[As a result, 'I' became the hero of this other world called Astraeus. Because it is said that the passage to other worlds is occupied by the devil... Yes, the human beings in this world are facing The threat is an existence called the Demon King, and 'I', who has been granted the power of a hero, is the only hope. The Archon promised to mobilize all manpower and material resources to support 'I', and said he was willing to marry his daughter to 'I'... …Is he serious?]”

"The classic scene of a king marrying a princess, but the brave man seems a little reluctant."

Li Wu paused and complained.

"Li Jun, please read on. What happened next?"

Hoshikawa Aoi has completely entered the state of listening and speaking books.

"[In short, after the church and the aristocratic factions also got involved, 'I' and the blond princess with excellent sword skills and a good figure, the eldest daughter of a green-haired nobleman who is a genius magician and a good figure, and who is good at healing arts And the white-haired church saint who is younger than me but has a good figure embarks on a journey to defeat the devil together.】"

"He's showing off, this guy is showing off! He specifically stated his hair color and emphasized his good figure four times for this purpose! Are you so happy to fight with all female teammates?!"

The three women present all gave him cold looks.

Li Wu, who was hit by the boomerang thrown by himself, quickly read the last paragraph: "[...The adventure in another world is really about to begin. Although it is what I have been looking forward to, 'I' will definitely come back, please wait." Just stick to 'me'.]"

The thin notebook was closed.

"It seems that the narrator still has someone he misses in the original world, so he is trying his best to find a way back."

Airisa analyzed, "Is it your girlfriend?"

"This question is not important at all."

Hoshikawa Aoi knocked on the table, "The key lies in who wrote this diary."

Guangxian raised his hand: "I have no memories of traveling to another world."

"I know, no one said it was you."

Li Wu thought of the legend he heard from Temple House and others, "Could it be left behind by that ancient warrior?"

Everyone here has obviously heard the popular story in this world: "The ancient warrior defeated the devil and set four seals."

Aoi Hoshikawa sorted it out in confusion: "Well, that means that the ancient warrior was from another world? He came to our world and recorded his experiences at that time?"

"Wrong! Wrong!"

The voice of no one present rang out.

Everyone's eyes focused on the pigeon that was preening its feathers leisurely in the center of the table.

"Dove, speak."

Hikari pointed at it and said.

"Indeed...she spoke in a girl's voice, so disgusting. At least in a parrot voice, right?"

Airisa made a sleepwalking sound, and the pigeons buried their heads in their wings in frustration as if they understood. "After all, it is a pigeon brought out from the first seal, so it is normal for it to have something special... I think it is right."

Li Wu pushed out the whiteboard in the activity room and walked behind Guang.

"Let's first assume that 'the owner of the black notebook is an ancient warrior' and 'the world we are in now has been distorted' are facts. Let's call the hometown of the ancient warrior A world, and the different world he went to is called B. World, the world we are in is World C...Xingchuan, do you think there are any similarities between the different world described in his diary and World C, except that they both have brave men?"

She overturned her previous point of view: "It seems that it does feel different..."

"That's right!"

Li Wu connected a line between world A and world C on the whiteboard, "The diary of the ancient warrior may not be hidden in world B. He may successfully return to the original world in the future."

"That means that Li Wu believes that the reality we are in is the result of the distortion of World A. In fact, we are actually the hometown of the ancient brave."

Airisa concluded.

"Then how do you explain the existence of the four-fold seal and the Demon King's Army? Most importantly, why did the first seal become the place where you and Horirin-san went when they were children, and why is her diary hidden?"

Aoi Hoshikawa suddenly turned pale, "Could it be that the truth is that Horin-san is the mastermind behind the scenes?!"

Guang's eyes became sharp, and he slowly stretched out his right hand, pushing her hair back: "This unbearable window period of the throne in the sky is about to end, and next, I will stand at the top - Wow! "

Li Wu, who was standing behind her, retracted his knife: "I can't find the answers to these questions yet. Why don't we torture...investigate this suspicious pigeon?"

Guang lay on the table with his head in his arms, and looked into the eyes of the pigeon that was jumping over with its head tilted curiously.

She stretched out her arms and grabbed it. The pigeon struggled in panic: "Seal! Seal!"

"It mentioned sealing. Can you make it more clear?"

Aoi Hoshikawa threatened from the side, "I heard that pigeon soup is delicious."

For some reason, Li Wu felt like it was looking at him with tears in his eyes.

"Maybe it's impossible to do it? Can you only express a limited meaning? Is there a way to talk to us through writing or other methods?"

He asked the pigeon, who paused for a long time before struggling to squeeze out the words: "Continue! Seal! It's easier to cross."

"Continue to unlock the seal, and you will be able to cross more easily... What does crossing mean? Is it to tell us information beyond a certain limit?"

In one bird's face he saw an extremely human expression, the pigeon nodding its head.

“Do you really want to believe what a pigeon says?”

Guang let go of his hand, and the freed pigeon ran to stay on Li Wu's shoulder.

Hoshikawa Aoi shook her body: "However, our original plan was to break through the four-layer seal, right? Even if you don't believe this pigeon, the other three-layer seals may also hide similar secrets as the first seal."

"And there is a high probability that there will be cadres of the Demon King's Army guarding it."

Li Wu reminded, "Who is leading the Demon King's army?"

This was the doubt he had after he realized there was something wrong with the world.

Guang opened his laptop, logged into the Brave Mutual Aid message board, and browsed through news such as a certain unlucky guy woke up from a coma and found that the first seal had been cracked, as well as speculation about whether it was the work of the Brave Club, and retrieved A blurry photo was taken.

"This is what someone witnessed, showing the Demon King going to the video game mall to buy games."

"It's too close to the people!"

He thought he was the kind of dedicated villain who sat on the throne all day long without even going to the toilet, just waiting for the challenger to come to his door with a three-part weird smile and waiting to burst into gold coins.

There was basically no effective information displayed on the screen, because the Demon King was wrapped in pitch-black armor, with sharp thorn-like protrusions growing on his shoulders and wrists, and behind his back was wrapped a dark cloak that seemed to be soaked red with blood. A red cloak, a tail that resembles both a dragon's tail and a whale bone protrudes from the end of the armor, branching out to the left and right with spear-like spikes.

Powerful, ferocious, and full of evil beauty - provided you ignore the white plastic bag he is holding in his right hand.

"No one has seen the true form of the Demon King's Army Commander under his armor."

Hikaru concluded, "It is said that the Demon King never takes off his visor."

"So he also has a friend who is an archaeologist and a kung fu master?"

Li Wu talked about something that no one present could understand, and brought up another question, "There is also the position of the second seal. Let's take a look at it if you can."

Guang Yiyan changed the photo and enlarged it.

"Sanbaihua Conservatory of Music...I remember the second seal is in that place."

Aoi Hoshikawa also came over, "It was originally an art school for students interested in drama, but unexpectedly it became the place where the second seal appeared."

What the photo shows is not a campus scene, but a majestic brass-toned theater.

The appearance of the Second Seal is like an opera house made of gold. The Baroque-style colonnade serves as a skeleton to firmly support this magnificent building. However, what is incompatible with it are the mechanical gears and layers dotted on the side walls of the roof, exposing part of the machinery. The stacks of copper-colored pipes, steam and flames flow like blood into them as the gears slowly rotate.

"One day the second seal suddenly rose from the ground and destroyed the original school."

Hoshikawa Aoi continued to add background information, "Let's take a break for a while and then explore again?"

No one has objections.

When leaving school, Li Wu took the pigeons that clung to him with him.

"Then, Hikaru and I leave from here."

He said goodbye to the other two.

My girlfriend opened her arms: "If you can't bear to leave, I can give you a hug."

"It's not like a mother sends her child to kindergarten."

When Li Wu was talking, she had already taken the initiative to hug him and buried her head in her boyfriend's arms.

Guang looked at the street boredly, his feet scraping the ground one after another.

After a while, the two of them separated and went their separate ways home.

After Heguang walked a certain distance in rare silence, a familiar shout suddenly came from behind.

"wait for me!"

Li Wu turned around in surprise. In humanoid form, Airisa was holding her knees and panting.
