Human dimension reduction

Different from the high-profile appearance of the Imperial Heresy Arbitration Tribunal, the way the Final Council announced its name was so low-key that it was a bit perfunctory. Nothing to do, reluctantly and hastily found a member to walk around in front of people.

It's a bit subtle... like the sense of sight of social animals completing tasks against worksheets.

Obviously it is something that needs to be taken seriously, but because of Ashiya Road's indifferent attitude throughout the whole process, Zhou Jianqing couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

He tried his best to expel this strange feeling from his brain. Even if there are a group of salted fish in the final council who don't do shit every day and lie down to retire, they are salted fish whose fighting power is beyond the charts and can overturn half the world at will. , they must not be taken lightly just because of Ashiya Domitsu's easy-going attitude, and... do these monsters really think they believe in some kind of bloody love and peace?

Even in the cartoons watched by children, it is clear that the purpose of the villain's words is to strengthen the mocking tone and explain the villain's hatefulness in a deeper level.

"...Actually, I still don't understand. What is the difference between the Final Council and the Arbitration Tribunal of Heresy?"

Qiao Zhou looked sincere.

"I mean, what exactly do you want to do when you come to the real world?"

This question hit everyone's heart thoroughly, and everyone including Zhou Jianqing couldn't help but hold their breath.

Since the appearance of the black hole, all kinds of bizarre things have emerged one after another, giving people a sense of the imminent end of the world. After London, these powerful monsters announced their arrival in a high-profile and arrogant manner, and then disappeared. Humans don't think how harmless they are. As long as they exist in the corner of this world for a day, human beings cannot sleep peacefully.

Even though they knew that Ashiya Michimitsu probably wouldn't tell the truth, they pricked up their ears and waited for the monster's answer.

The onmyoji holding the white fox didn't intend to be a competent customer service at all, he gently pinched the soft and fluffy ears of the fox: "My mission has been completed, the chairman didn't give me the mission to answer your questions. "

He nodded politely: "Goodbye, gentlemen."

As if a worker who had worked overtime was in a hurry to get off work, the Onmyoji turned around slowly, and was about to leave when Zhou Jianqing suddenly blurted out: "Please wait!"

Ashiya Michiman turned his face to look at him, Zhou Jianqing quickly turned his head and asked Qiao Zhou a few words, and asked in a stumbling foreign language: "In order to prevent us from being surrounded again after you leave... May I ask how can this world be completely destroyed?" ……Get rid of?"

He thought for a while but didn't think of how to describe this matter, so he simply used a more neutral "solution", and when he asked this question, he stared closely at the expression of Ashiya Michimitsu.

Leaving aside the attitude of the Imperial Heresy Arbitration Tribunal, how does the Final Council view the actual dimensionality reduction incident?These monsters born from the works created by humans broke the boundaries and came to the real world through unknown methods. Do they hope to have more companions, or do they have other ideas?What is the attitude towards human beings who are naturally opposed to them?

Zhou Jianqing, who has taken interrogation courses and has studied micro-expressions, stared at Ashiya Michimitsu's face, even if Ashiya Michimitsu didn't say anything, he was sure to analyze some information from it.

To be honest, this question Zhou Jianqing asked is very offensive. It is known that the purpose of the monsters is to successfully ascend to reality after the end of this world. Zhou Jianqing's question is equivalent to asking how Ashiya Domitsu will destroy this world and destroy the world. Lose the only chance for these monsters to go to reality.

He is ready to face the anger, but any gain cannot be free. This information is very important, and it is directly related to the attitude of human beings in the face of these monsters in the future. This rare opportunity to ask questions.

But in fact, Ashiya Domitsu was not as angry as he imagined.

Because...not only Zhou Jianqing didn't know about this issue, but the mastermind behind the scenes himself didn't know either.

Qiao Zhou, who carefully designed the content of the camps, just followed the game's usual settings and designed two opposing camps for this black hole invasion game—equal strength, balanced members, opposite ideas, and different goals...

But as for what that goal should be...

Sorry, he hasn't figured it out yet.

And how to solve these worlds... obviously have to be answered according to the position of the parliament.

So in Zhou Jianqing's eyes, Ashiya Doman seemed to pause for a short while, revealing a look of deep thought.

Didn't show disgust at the first time, so the final council is not offended by the idea of ​​human beings trying to solve the alienated world?They don't care about their own kind, or do they have excessive confidence in their own kind and think that human beings can't solve the alienated world?

Various thoughts flashed through Zhou Jianqing's mind like lightning, and he continued to observe Ashiya Doman quietly.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jianqing's thinking can diverge so much. The onmyoji clenched his left hand in his heart and tapped the palm of his right hand. It's not a big problem, isn't it just a nonsense riddler!

"I would suggest you to get a better understanding of this world," Onmyouji said with a secretive smile, "Human beings who can not be assimilated have certain talents, and if they want to survive, they must walk into the center of the world to see, Listen and guess."

Seriously answered the topic of how to destroy the same kind. At this time, Ashiya Michimitsu looked like a good friend of human beings and a second or fifth boy among monsters.

And he answered this question so readily because Qiao Zhou thought of a brilliant idea. Since there was going to be a confrontation, what better opportunity could there be?

The Imperial Heresy Arbitration Tribunal, which believes that the alienated world should spread to occupy the real world, replaces humans with virtual characters to become the master of the new world, and opposes the spread of the alienated world, and believes that everything should go with the flow, but sometimes its position is not so firm. ...

What a good theme, you can play it freely!

"If you want to destroy it, go and see what story it tells." Onmyoji finally dropped this sentence.

This is Qiao Zhou's method, to find out the plot and then destroy it, but without enough strength, it is easy to be chased and killed by countless monsters during the collapse period after the plot is destroyed, so he only said half of it implicitly, as for What to do after finding the plot is their own business.

Even if it is to guide an NPC, it is necessary to say some strange lines vaguely to enhance the sense of mystery.

Ashiya Daoman hugged the white fox and disappeared from everyone's sight. Zhou Jianqing thought over every expression, movement, and tone of his before he left, and suddenly a trembling female voice came from his ear: "That... I'm sorry to hear you conversation, but, but, can you please take me out of here? I was accidentally involved..."

Misaki Nakamori, who had been squatting in the corner for a long time without being noticed by anyone, finally realized that she was seeing something remarkable when she heard their conversation, and she made up her mind to ask them for help.

When she made a sound, fifteen people, including Qiao Zhou, were shocked at the same time, and they almost ran out of reflex. It wasn't that they were timid, but that no one noticed that there was someone beside them. The effect of Misaki Nakamori's sudden speech was simply incredible Almost like a ghost call.

"Where did you come from?!" The round-faced little soldier widened his eyes in horror.

Zhong Sen didn't understand what he said, and still looked at them with help-seeking eyes.

The duty of the leading group is only to explore the intelligence of this world, and to collect as much effective information as possible and hand it over to the follow-up troops. Strictly speaking, they do not need to take on the responsibility of saving lives, but the innate sense of responsibility of Chinese soldiers still makes them unable to ignore An innocent civilian who asked them for help.

"Let's find a suitable place for her to stay, we still have to explore further." Zhou Jianqing decided.

The reason why he can easily make this decision is that this Elm Ghost Street, which was full of ghosts and monsters just now, seems to be showing signs of collapse after being thrown a spell by the Onmyoji of the Final Council.

[There seems to be some noise in the room on the left, do you want to take a look? Oh, it’s called Gui, and the code is unknown #$%^&]

Strange things were mixed into the light gray game interface suspended in front of everyone. The interface flickered, disappeared suddenly, and reappeared after a while. There was still a large row of unidentified characters.

"Um……"

"There's something wrong with the code." Someone murmured in a low voice, and the sense of horror brought about by Elm Street was made a little funny by this string of overly real code errors.

This endlessly long street began to change. The houses on both sides flickered like a bad signal. For a while, it was a weird haunted house, and for a while it was a modern building.

"The ghosts were killed, it's like all the npcs in the game have been cleared... so this place is starting to return to reality?"

The boy who reacted the fastest in the strategy team expressed his guess.

This guess is actually very close to reality, but there is one necessary condition missing: Elm Nightmare Street is a fragmented world attached to a main alienated world. Before that main world is resolved, Elm Nightmare Street can still survive— Until the ghosts inside are resurrected and refreshed again, or the main alienated world disappears completely.

The leading team quickly left this distorted street and returned to Kyoto in the Edo period.

"Oh my god... what is that burning?!"

Everyone stepped on the muddy ground and stared blankly into the distance. Under the darkness of night in Kyoto, half the sky was reddened by flames like the sun falling into the embrace of the city. The hot and scalding flames were undulating, almost burning through half of the sky. Even at such a long distance, they could vaguely feel the scorching heat of the air and the dryness of the scarce moisture.

They just walked around Elm Street for less than an hour, what happened outside?

The person most entitled to answer this question is Lan Yin.

After Ashiya Michimitsu brought Zhang Zi to rescue people and Vincent went offline, the shikigami who had assassinated Abe Seimei in the corner also completed his task. Walking along the Suzaku Avenue, intending to visit this exotic capital for the last time, his attention was snatched away by a low rumble.

The earth is shaking.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground forcefully, armor collided, and an army was quickly approaching Da Nei Li.

Where did the army come from?

A small question mark appeared on Lan Yin's head, and his fingers scratched out five deep holes in the wall like picking out tofu. He easily threw himself off the eaves and sat on the back of the beast looking down. .

Almost the second he climbed onto the roof, an army of about 50 people rushed up the Suzaku Avenue like an arrow from the string. The knights in full armor were shocked by the bloody scene, and quickly grabbed The reins restrained the horses, while those sensitive creatures moved their heads a little uneasily, as if disturbed by the strong smell of blood.

Kutiao Wenzhen stared at the bloody Suzaku Avenue with an uncertain expression. After receiving the emergency call from Edo, he felt that something was wrong. Why did the Kutiao family suddenly fall into a situation where all sides were besieged?Obviously, the shogunate has ruled the country for hundreds of years, and there has been no trouble. Why is everyone suddenly dissatisfied with the Kutiao family?

Kutiao Wenzhen immediately led people to leave Kyoto from Rashomon and return to Edo, but for some reason, he fell off the horse's back inexplicably since he was adept at arching horses since he was a child, and was almost trampled to death by the horse's hoof. The guards tried their best to save him. I am afraid that he is still lying on the bed dying.

A series of changes seemed to imply that the Jiutiao family was about to decline, but Jiutiaowen really didn't believe in this evil. If it was God's punishment, why did the gods tolerate them for so many years?If it is a man-made disaster...

There was a fierce and bloodthirsty light in the general's eyes.

At the time of encountering demons in the evening, the onmyoji supported by Jiutiao's family suddenly became very frightened. He said that there were many terrifying monsters gathering in the direction of Suzaku Avenue near Ouchi, and they were caught in disorderly killings, and many monsters wandered around In different streets of Kyoto, humans are being preyed upon.

The general's mansion is protected by an onmyoji, so of course he won't be trapped by monsters, but what the onmyoji said aroused Jiu Tiaowen's suspicion.

An unbelievable guess came to his mind.

"In your Yin-Yang Dao, is there any technique that can make people encounter disasters continuously?"

"Ah, such spells are not uncommon." Onmyoji gave a really expected answer in nine articles. It is not such an easy task, especially if the cursed object has strong luck, the price to be paid is unimaginable."

Onmyoji gave an example in a considerate way: "To put it bluntly, if you want to target the general, behind you is the shogunate that controls the country, and is also an existence that is blessed by the gods. If you want to make the Kujo family suffer disaster, you must You have to pay the equivalent weight of your life, of course, you must first have a very powerful onmyoji, such as—"

When he said this, he paused, and Kutiao Wenzhen muttered to himself with a gloomy expression: "Abe Seimei."

The onmyoji nodded: "Yes, it must be a powerful onmyoji like Abe Seimei."

The only place that can have such a powerful onmyoji as Abe Seimei is the Ouchi Sato Onmyouliao.

"The Emperor..."

Jiutiaowen really gritted his teeth and spit out this word. Although the cause, process, result and even the people involved were all wrong, but the most important person was caught by accident. It can be seen that the Jiutiao family is really blessed by the gods.

With the power held by the Kujo family, they could have despised the emperor, and the Kujo Wenzhen, who was completely enraged, was unwilling to look for more evidence—perhaps in his heart, he had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time .

He led his family and generals to rush up the streets of the capital city, and galloped towards Da Nei Li. The angry young general was still sketching in his mind what he would do after occupying Da Nei Li. I was stunned by the tragedy.

Under the rule of the shogunate, the country has barely been at peace for many years, and there are few isolated wars. It is the first time that Jiutiao Wenzhen has seen the scene of stumps flying all over the ground.

"How is this going?"

The general was dumbfounded. Could it be that another army rushed up Suzaku Avenue and started killing before him?

But he quickly shifted his attention to the imperial palace in front of him. This is the scene on Suzaku Avenue. In the imperial palace...

Jiu Tiao Wenzhen led the family and generals to rush into the undefended inner palace. The soldiers who were supposed to guard the palace gate all passed out on the ground, and there were many onmyojis who were also unconscious. Jiu Tiao Wenzhen was not interested in them. Leading people all the way forward, all the defenses encountered were chopped off by the horse.

In so many years, it was the first time that Ouchi was driven straight in like this. It was more like the defensive soldiers of the guard of honor who died on the spot after only one round under the hands of the fierce shogunate. The weak line of defense was torn to pieces.

In the end, Jiujo Wenzhen, holding a bloody sword, rushed into the Qingliang Temple where the emperor lived with a murderous look.

He swept past this palace, which symbolizes the supreme power of the country, like a whirlwind, but he didn't find the person he was looking for, so he casually grabbed a maid who was in a state of embarrassment: "Where's the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The maid was so frightened that her face paled, she stammered and couldn't complete a sentence, Jiu Tiaowen really sank her face impatiently, the maid cried out in a tearful voice, "Your Majesty has gone to the Zichen Palace!"

Ouchili occupies a huge area. Because of many fires, there are still many places that have not been rebuilt or rebuilt in other places, so this palace city is a bit ridiculous. Not far from Qingliang Temple, they were stunned.

A raging fire was ignited in a place separated from here by a palace. The wooden structure and the flammable items such as silk and satin veils burned the sky almost instantly, and the tongues of fire frantically devoured the sacrifices offered by humans products, and greedily licking the surrounding buildings.

"There... is Zichen Palace..." the maid said tremblingly.

Jiu Tiao Wen Zhen was stunned for a moment, spat hard on the ground, and began to think about the possibility of the Emperor's suicide with a gloomy expression, maybe he ran away while taking advantage of the fire?

Thinking of this, he turned his head and ordered people to block Ouchi, and perfunctorily sent people to put out the fire, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the emperor to appear in front of him alive.

Jiu Tiao Wenzhen, who had not experienced the imperial palace fire, obviously underestimated the power of the flames.

The fire that started from the Zichen Palace, under the careless perfunctory of the firefighters, quickly swept through most of the inner courtyard, and by the time Jiu Tiaowen really realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

The red hot flames burned through most of the sky and spread outwards in a crazy manner. Half of Kyoto was engulfed by the flames. Lan Yin, who witnessed all this on the roof, couldn't help showing a look of acclaim.

Is there such a plot in the original plot?He is a little confused now, what is this plot about?
