Start a core cabin

"That guy didn't come back today."

Sitting at the dining table, Yuko Shionji complained helplessly.

"We can't wait for him every day... Didn't he just say he would come back?"

"Will the uncle be okay..."

Holding the red panda, Abigail spoke uneasily, and Yuko Shionji snorted.

"Is he in trouble? I think he won't be in trouble even if the world is destroyed."

"By the way, Miss Shesta didn't come back either..."

Sakuya interrupted while cooking.

"She didn't call either, I'm a little worried..."

"Ah~~~~~~"

Just then, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and then Neme Satori and Inaba Tsukuyomi walked in. The former smiled and greeted everyone, while the latter remained silent and bowed silently.

"Teacher~~~Hasn't he come back yet~~~Where did you go to play again~~~~"

"Uh........."

Looking at Mianme Satori, who was jumping over like dancing, everyone didn't know what to say for a moment. Although this person has always been like this, it doesn't mean that everyone can get used to it.

"What do you want to eat tonight~~~~~"

But Mianme Satori obviously didn't care about other people's thoughts. She turned around with a smile, then came to Sakuya and leaned out, looking into the pot curiously. Looking at Mianme Satori, Sakuya also hurriedly introduced.

"Ah, I plan to make curry today..."

"Oh, so..."

Hearing Sakuya's answer, Mianme Satori nodded, then raised his head--then, the sword flashed.

"Puff!"

No one knew what happened. They just stared blankly at Sakuya's head flying up, spinning, and then falling into the boiling pot. Blood spurted out and splashed everywhere. Standing next to him, Mianmu Satori looked very happy. She turned her head and stared at the stunned and frozen girls, revealing an excited smile.

"Hahaha~~~~~ Satori thinks~~~ this will taste better~~~~~"

In just a moment, this originally peaceful night began to be smeared with bright red blood.

"Boom!!!"

The whole apartment exploded and burned, shrouded in a blazing flame. Duanmu Huai walked out of the apartment with a gloomy face, and Yotsuya Miko followed him uneasily—the monster disguised as Kana ran away after attacking Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai originally tried to track it, but...… It was not unexpected at all. The other people in the apartment came out to stop him.

Obviously, they were no longer human.

Duanmu Huai was too lazy to waste time, and directly hugged Yotsuya Miko and broke through the window and jumped down from the third floor, then threw a bomb in his backhand, and completely destroyed this damn place.

"I really want to issue an extermination order..."

Duanmu Huai raised his head, looked at the night sky, and sighed silently. At this moment, his cell phone rang. Duanmu Huai took the phone, and heard the frightened voice of Shionji Yuko.

"Hey, where are you! Something happened!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing Shionji Yuko's almost collapsed scream, Duanmu Huai was also stunned. He had never heard Shionji Yuko's collapse cry so much.

"Mianme Sanatori is crazy, she killed Sakuya!"

"……………Huah?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai felt that he was hallucinating for a while.

Mianme Sanatori killed Sakuya?

What the hell is this? Why can't he understand?

"What's going on? What are you talking about?"

"I don't know what I'm saying... Just now, Menme Sanatori came back and asked Sakuya what she was cooking, and then without saying a word, she drew her sword and chopped off Sakuya's head! What the hell is going on! Ah... I've had enough!"

"What's the situation now?"

"I'm hiding in the room on the second floor with Abigail, and Inaba Tsukuyeh is confronting Menme Sanatori! I'm not sure if Inaba Tsukuyeh can stop Menme Sanatori... Anyway, come back soon!"

"Okay, I got it, I'll go back right away."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then hung up the phone, motioning Yotsuya Miko to follow him in the car. Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly towards the office.

While driving, Duanmu Huai was also thinking.

The fact that Menme Sanatori killed Sakuya sounded ridiculous to Duanmu Huai. It was not because he trusted Menme Sanatori to the point that he thought she would not kill people, but... Duanmu Huai was not stupid. He had already given Sakuya a talisman. Even if Menmu Satori really wants to attack Sakuya, Duanmu Huai's amulet is not for nothing, he is also an Old One, okay!

Then, the question is...

"Ding-ling-ling..."

However, just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, the phone rang again, and Duanmu Huai picked up the phone and glanced at it. The caller was... Sakuya.

"…………………………"

Just now, Shionji Yuko said that she had been beheaded by Menmu Satori.

Duanmu Huai answered the phone silently.

"Hello."

"Ah, brother!"

Sakuya's voice on the other end also sounded uneasy.

"Sakuya? Where are you?"

"I'm in Kamurocho..."

"Why did you go to Kamurocho?"

Duanmu Huai remembered that Sakuya was not the kind of person who liked to run around.

"I was brought here by the Yingyue Group..."

"???"

Duanmu Huai felt that things were getting weirder and weirder.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. When I went to buy groceries, they suddenly drove to find me and said that you wanted me to go to Kamurocho for something. I followed them, but they suddenly locked me up and snatched my phone. I was not released until just now..."

"Release?"

"Please let me tell you, Brother Duanmu."

Soon, another voice came from the phone.

"Who are you?"

"I am the young head of the Yingyue Group, Uekawa Hirokage. Please help... Save the boss, no, it's Lord Tezuka! He is possessed by a monster!"

"??? Tell me clearly, what's going on?"

Duanmu Huai is getting more and more confused the more he listens.

"It's like this. Not long ago, the boss found us and gave us an order, saying that we should send someone to kidnap Miss Sakyuye and take her to Kamurocho to kill her. We were all surprised at the time because we knew that the boss had a good relationship with you, and we didn't know why he did this, but the boss gave the order, and we, as younger brothers, could only obey. But... before I left, I deliberately looked at the boss, and I always felt that the boss was a little bit wrong, as if that was not the boss... How to say, it was like a monster in the boss's skin giving us orders! I felt that something was wrong, so I waited until they took Miss Sakyuye to Kamurocho to contact you... Please help us!"

"………………Okay, I know."

Duanmu Huai hung up the phone silently and looked at the time again.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

So, you play like this, right?

Duanmu Huai's face sank slightly, and he snorted coldly.

Do you think you are the only one who can play?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The sun and the moon turned upside down.

When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, he was sitting in the car, with Yotsuya Miko sitting next to him, and outside was the crowded station park.

At this moment, Yotsuya Miko also turned her head and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Teacher, you said someone else was coming, why didn't you see her?"

"She won't come."

Duanmu Huai said lightly, and then started the car.

"Let's go back to the office."

"Eh? Didn't you say... OK."

Yotsuya Miko was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, just nodded. Duanmu Huai drove directly and turned to the office.

Duanmu Huai already knew the other party's trick. It was obvious that this guy would change, and he would become almost indistinguishable from himself. Unless your inspiration was higher than inspiration, you couldn't see his true face at all.

Well, it was probably Nyarlathotep. Even if ordinary old rulers could change, they would still have the breath of the old days. Only Nyarlathotep would be so good at such disgusting tricks.

However, this does not mean that Duanmu Huai can do nothing about it.

Duanmu Huai still remembers what happened when he devoured the shadow of the Old Day. At that time, the shadow of the Old Day had an ability that fell on a certain boy for some reason. As long as the latter died, time would go back. At that time, Duanmu Huai knew nothing about it, but because he was also the Old Day, and a god, and Mary had golden eyes, he was also involved.

The price was that as soon as the boy died, time would go back, and then Duanmu Huai and Mary were inexplicably involved and went back to before time went back. Then the boy died several times, and they followed inexplicably to read the file several times. If Duanmu Huai had not decisively solved the problem, they would not know how long they would be trapped in this damn loop.

And now, this ability is in Duanmu Huai, so he naturally has to use it this way!

He wants to trap Nyarlathotep on this day and let it never get out!

This is just like brushing elite monsters in a single-player game. If I can't brush them out, I will reload the game. I can brush them a thousand times, ten thousand times, or a hundred million times. Anyway, if I can't brush one, I will keep reloading! As long as I don't find you today, I will directly reload the game after twelve o'clock!

I want to see how long you can last!

If the opponent is Yog-Sothoth, Duanmu Huai will not use this trick. After all, Yog-Sothoth is the boss in charge of time and space. Playing this in front of it is like playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong. But Nyarlathotep is different. This guy is not an expert in this area. Duanmu Huai's trick can't deal with Yog-Sothoth, but it is perfect for disgusting Nyarlathotep!

Hey, you want to run? I just won't let you run! Let's see how long you can endure!

So, Duanmu Huai took Yotsuya Miko back to the office, and then asked her to observe and track through Shionji Yuko's monitoring network, and at the same time recalled all the people such as Mianme Sanatori back to the office to stand by.

Then... just wait.

If Yotsuya Miko didn't find it on the first day, Duanmu Huai would wait until 12 o'clock and reload the file, and then try again. If he still didn't find it, he would reload the file again and try again. Duanmu Huai couldn't escape this time loop, and Nyarlathotep couldn't escape it either!

Now it's your turn to experience the feeling of being replayed in the blink of an eye!

During the replay process, Duanmu Huai was not idle either. Although time replay can reset the state, the data of the shadow scan will not change.

Therefore, when investigating Yotsuya Miko, Duanmu Huai would also expand the area around him as much as possible, scan it, and then compare the scanned data with the data in his shadow. It's a bit like everyone comes to find faults. After all, Nyarlathotep will not be copied, so its intelligence data must be in an unparseable state.

So Duanmu Huai used this method to scan the intelligence around him as much as possible, and then compare them one by one, trying to find the abnormal points.

Alas, this broken thing has forced me to start thinking.

Duanmu Huai said that he should not be this kind of character...

But it turns out that this trick is still quite useful.

After reloading the file countless times, Duanmu Huai finally caught the hard-won abnormality.
