The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

After two days, Vera and Alice returned to Belial City.

When I returned to the City Lord's Mansion, I found that something was wrong. Their guards were all silent, looking at them, hesitating to speak.When the Mozu sisters saw the Mozu in the main seat wearing monocles, they finally knew why the guards were so afraid.

"The Lord of Belial." Rachel said with a gentle smile, "I think we can have a good talk."

***

The inner city of the dwarf ruins was built according to the pattern of the Kabbalah tree of life, with 22 streets symbolizing paths and ten squares symbolizing circles.The Gate of Wisdom is located on the square in the upper left corner of the inner city. In the Kabbalah Tree of Life, the essence represented by that circle is wisdom.Du Ze wandered around in the dwarf ruins for two days. At midnight on the first day, the doujinshi was restored in Du Ze's hands. By this time, the restored day lily was cold, okay?Du Ze choked on a mouthful of old blood in his throat.The ratio of the time between the Gate of Wisdom and the outside world is 60:1, which means that 1/5 of the doujinshi has stayed in Xiu's hands for nearly 40 days - 40 days can completely make the protagonist know those 8 pages by heart!

The flowers of the motherland were destroyed by the little yellow book...

Du Ze forced himself not to imagine the scene when Xiu left the level, and continued to watch those foreign-style buildings.Small houses of various styles are built beside the street, just like the houses of dwarves in fairy tales.Du Ze bent down and entered several rooms, and without exception, he saw the traces of the dwarves' life.Those traces were so clear that one could even infer what they were doing: some of them were taking a bath, some were eating, and some were assembling mechanical parts.However, for some unknown reason, all the gnomes seemed to disappear in an instant during the event.

Looking at the empty house, Du Ze felt shuddering, and he returned to the street.Although there are machines moving on the street, it is completely empty and lifeless.

The dwarves... why did they disappear?

Du Ze is not the author, so he doesn't know how Yiying Zhiqiu set it up.Exploring the reason for the disappearance of gnomes seems to be a huge side plot of "Mixed Blood", but until Du Ze crossed, readers still did not know the result from the author.

Du Ze couldn't help looking at Old John who had been by his side for the past few days. This seemingly ancient mechanical puppet did not appear in the novel.Thinking of the time difference between the novel and the present, Du Ze suddenly had a guess.

"How long have you been here?"

Hearing Du Ze's question, Old John stopped playing with Little Phoenix. It seemed to be lost in memories, and his voice was full of nostalgia.

"It's almost 4 years." Old John pressed the star on his chest: "I am the second-generation mechanical puppet. The master gave me the best power device, so I can live until now. But it is almost To the limit, after another year, my 'heart' will stop." It looked at Du Ze. "It was great to see you all before I died."

It seems strange to hear a machine say "live" and "dead", but Old John's tone of voice lightens the sense of incongruity.The mechanical puppet in front of him has been wandering in this empty city for tens of thousands of years, and even understands feelings.

Old John's words confirmed Du Ze's conjecture. In terms of time, the protagonist in the novel entered the dwarf ruins four years later. At that time, Old John had already shut down.At the same time, Yiying Zhiqiu wrote that the fourth era of the dwarves was about 3 years away from the seventh era of the human race. That is to say, Old John definitely witnessed the disappearance of the dwarf race.However, seeing such an old John, Du Ze suddenly couldn't continue asking. That question seemed too cruel for the mechanical puppet in front of him who understood emotions.

"You seem a little hesitant." Old John said: "Don't hesitate, just say what you need, I will be happy to serve you."

"The dwarf... why did it disappear?"

The blue light in Old John's eyes suddenly went out the moment he heard Du Ze's words, as if he had received a big shock. After a while, the blue light of the machine faintly ignited again.

"You're curious, kid." Old John's voice sounded like a sigh: "Just as curious as they are...but sometimes it's not a good thing to be too curious."

Before Du Ze could understand Old John's words, he saw the huge mechanical puppet walking forward.

"Come on, what you want to know is ahead."

After walking this street, another circular square appeared in front of them. In the Kabbalah tree of life, the essence represented here is understanding.There is a metal building that looks like a flower bud in the center of the square. Old John walked over to enter a few commands on the building, and saw the metal building unfold its outer shell little by little, revealing its interior.

It looks like a research room, with stacks of materials scattered around, the most eye-catching thing is the huge round wheel in the center of the research room.Its outer ring is golden yellow, and the dial looks like it is made of crystal. A circle of numbers and runes are engraved along the outer ring. The entire round wheel looks like a giant clock, but there is no pointer on it.

"This is the wheel of time."

Old John looked at the wheel, and the blue light in his eyes made it sad.Du Ze waited for a while, but the mechanical puppet beside him seemed to be immersed in the memory and couldn't extricate himself, so he didn't continue talking.Du Ze hesitated for a moment, then walked into the research room, and picked up some documents on the table.It was probably some research reports, densely drawn with curves and terms that Du Ze couldn't understand.Du Ze's gaze landed on the lower right corner of the paper, where some of the researcher's experiences are recorded.

[Time is really wonderful, if _ had not given us the wheel of time, we would never have been able to touch the law of time. ]

[The curve is wrong, time should not be decomposed in this way, and the decomposition function will be reconstructed tomorrow. ]

……

[Get a breakthrough today!With the help of the wheel of time, we have achieved the separation of time, and the ratio of the first separation is 2:1. ]

[The ratio of time separation has been increased to 37:1. The committee said that the gate of wisdom will be built, and time separation can also be put into use. ]

[Remove the wheel of time parts, time separation cannot be achieved, distressed!distressed! ]

[We put the second hand of the wheel of time into the door of wisdom to achieve a time separation of 60:1.Now make "time separation without the aid of the wheel of time" a new subject. ]

[Scheme [-]: Copy the parts of the wheel of time; Plan [-]: Find a substitute for the wheel of time; Plan [-]: Thoroughly analyze the law of time.Option [-] is the easiest, but everyone tends to Option [-], and so do I. ]

……

[We made it!Time separation can now be achieved on individuals, and the dwarves live forever! ]

……

[No, impossible, out of control!We have clearly interpreted it...]

The record came to an abrupt end on the last page, and the increasingly scribbled notes showed the chaotic mood of the person who wrote it all.

"That day, the clock, broke, they, disintegrated...zi...disappeared."

Old John's voice came from behind, it seemed to be playing a broken video, intermittent and messy.Du Ze stared at the half-written "Read", as if he saw the small figure who was writing disintegrate and disappear bit by bit, the pen fell on the table, and no one could pick it up again.

Du Ze shuddered. He put the hot potato-like information back to its original place. His eyes accidentally glanced at the first page, and then he stopped.

[Time is really amazing, if _ had not given us the wheel of time, we would never have been able to get started. ]

Du Ze stared at the blank space. Based on the context, a name should be filled there.Just as Du Ze was about to ask Old John, he saw Little Phoenix flying in staggeringly, aiming at...the wheel of time.

Don't make trouble, brat!

"return!"

The little phoenix landed on the top of the wheel of time, and then yelled at Du Ze who rushed over: "Jiubi~"

Seeing that there was no abnormality in the wheel of time, Du Ze just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he tripped over a stack of documents at his feet and fell on the wheel of time.The whole space paused for a moment as if the pause button was pressed. The next moment, the outer ring and runes of the wheel of time lit up, emitting a dazzling light. Du Ze, who was caught off guard, was directly stung by the light and burst into tears.

When Du Ze wiped away his tears and put on his glasses again, a certain idiot froze when he saw the strange scene in front of him - where is this?

The surroundings were pitch black, which reminded Du Ze of the dream he had last time. At that time, he seemed to be suspended in this dark space and received a call with a bad signal.

Then the call really came back.

[...Eh...the wheel of time...]

Same as last time, the voice was still vague and noisy, but even though there was strong interference, it could still be heard that the voice was very happy.

[……I found you……]

Communication was lost again.Du Ze didn't have time to ask any questions. He tried to call out a few times, but the darkness was completely silent except for his voice.Last time he was dreaming, so he woke up quickly, so this time he was also... dreaming?

wake up -

A certain idiot pinched his thigh hard, because he was sure that this was a dream, so he pinched it especially hard, so his thigh flesh became strong.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

Du Ze was in so much pain that he had hallucinations. He saw a huge hourglass appearing in front of him, colorful.When Du Ze finally recovered his breath, he stared at the hourglass on the opposite side to freeze again - what the hell is it a hallucination?

The hourglass that suddenly appeared in front of him was about 10 meters high, and the sand inside was about the size of Du Ze's fingertip.There was not much sand left in the upper layer, and it seemed to be stuck in the leak.Du Ze stared at the sand stuck in the leak, and his thoughts developed in a strange direction: If the sand is allowed to flow out, can he get out?

So a certain idiot kicked the hourglass.

The hourglass shook, a grain of sand flowed out, and then got stuck again, as if mocking a certain scum with a combat power of five.

[System: Player "Du Ze" used a chain attack on "Hourglass". 】

Every time Du Ze moves the hourglass, one grain of sand will fall from the hourglass.When Du Ze was about to attack for the fifth time, the invisible anger gauge of the hourglass seemed to reach the top, bursting out with dazzling light.

[System: "Hourglass" used a decisive blow on the player "Du Ze", sending the player "Du Ze" back to the resurrection point. 】When Du Ze came back to his senses, he had already returned to the research room.A certain fool glanced around blankly. The research room seemed to be swept away by robbers. Various materials were scattered on the ground, and Old John, who was originally staying outside the metal building, was also missing.

A crisp bird song approached from far away, and Du Ze watched a bright red bird land in front of him.The bird was about one meter long, with a soft and slender neck, patterned feathers, and a long and beautiful tail that was forked like a fish.Anyone who looks at it can call out its species—Phoenix.

Seeing Du Ze staring at it, the beautiful phoenix stood on the ground and spread its wings happily and croaked - no matter how you look at it, it looks like that little chick who has been acting stupid and has never been surpassed, etc. !Du Ze stared at the phoenix in horror: This could be the protagonist's cute pet! ?

The fire phoenix screamed, then flew up, and it landed on the shoulder of the person who appeared at some time.It was a strange man with brown hair who looked very approachable.

Who is this guy?

Seeing Du Ze looking at him suspiciously, the brown-haired man showed a gentle smile: "I'm Old John."

... what?

At this time, Du Ze heard a sigh from behind and above.

"You finally came out."

Du Ze looked up, and behind him was the huge wheel of time. A person sat on the top of the wheel of time, looking down at him.Before Du Ze had time to see the opponent's appearance clearly, that person leaped and jumped off the wheel of time.

"!"

Countless white papers flew up into the air, Du Ze was slammed on the pile of materials, and his back was in pain from being hit.Du Ze was lying on the pile of papers, with some difficulty he raised his crooked glasses and looked up.

This is...Xiu?

Xiu who straddled him looked much more mature. If Xiu's dwarf form looked like a 12-year-old human, now he looked like a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy.Xiu lowered his head and looked at Du Ze, his flaxen hair was hanging down softly, half covering his bright eyes and the almost crazy emotion in them.

Under Du Ze's stupefied gaze, Xiu bent down and bit the corner of Du Ze's mouth fiercely - it really can only be described as biting, without warmth, as if he was crazy through this action. vent their emotions.Du Ze even tasted the smell of blood, he waved his hands whimperingly, completely unaware of what happened.

When Du Ze was finally let go, he didn't need to look in the mirror to know that his mouth must be swollen, but Xiu, who did all this, put his head next to his ear, breathing hotly.

"I really want to be a chain and tie you to me."

What the hell happened! ?

Under Du Ze's shocked gaze, the brown-haired man's voice came from afar.

"The little master is so excited, because he has been waiting for you for four years."

******

******

The first year, miss.

Year two, wait.

In the third year, the limit.

In the fourth year, collapse.
