[Comprehensive] A world full of conspiracy

"So even if you purify the spirit in other places, you still can't succeed?" Mai Gushan asked first.

Miss Senyuan thought for a while, and asked John: "John, are you sure that all the spirits you purified just now are here, or is there only a part of them?"

"I'm not sure if it's all of them. But I have seen most of the spirits around here. Especially the mother and daughter wandering around the gate. They are not ordinary earth-bound spirits. It took a while to purify the spirits. It took a lot of effort, so I remember it very clearly. I clearly saw the light that will appear after the success of Jingling, and I also saw them disappear from that house. They should have successfully crossed the river. How did they appear in here?"

"Most of the spirits near the van are John, have you seen them today?" Haitang Future asked.

Hearing Haitang's future question, John reacted: "Indeed. Fasheng and I went to a total of 41 places, excluding 23 places with no spirits at all, and nearly [-] spirits in the remaining [-] places. coming."

"What, don't these spirits also want to sneak attack?" Matsuzaki Ayako looked around vigilantly.

"I don't think these spirits are threatening." Yuanzhen Shazi said, "They probably just wanted to cross the river, so they came around after seeing John and Fasheng."

"But now we can't do anything." John said with some distress.

"John, where is the farthest place where you get rid of spirits?" Miss Mori asked suddenly.

"We basically walked the whole of Shibuya. The farthest place from here should have already left Shibuya and entered the port area." John said and looked around, "I'm not here with the old lady's spirit See."

"If Yuri's idea just now is correct, then the radius of the circle might already be out of the vicinity of the port area." Matsuzaki Ayako said.

Haitang Future listened to other people's conversations, looked around with some doubts, there was no extradition person.Obviously all the souls that have just died these days have gathered here.This kind of place can be found as long as you hear a little bit of news. Why hasn't the extradition person appeared yet?Or, the extraditors thought they had successfully extradited, but these spirits returned to this world for some unknown reason?

"Let's reorganize the current situation." Miss Mori said and opened a blank document on the computer.

1. There are many spirits in the factory, and there is no way to get rid of them

2. Some of the spirits here are aggressive

3. The spirits in and around Shibuya will return to the factory even after the spirits succeed

"Do you have any ideas?" Miss Mori asked.

"First of all, there is the problem of the spirits in the factory. Although there have been rumors of evil spirits in the factory for a long time, it is so serious that everyone will feel depressed and irritated. The spiritual incidents continue to escalate, and the factory has to stop production and relocate. It is only a recent thing. "New Article Yuri said, "That is to say, what happened after it became a textile factory here."

Haitang thought about it in the future, and retorted, "In the first period of time when it became a textile factory, there was only one female worker who hanged herself. The other places were not different from before. The turning point should be where the female worker committed suicide not long ago. Those female workers who don't believe in strange powers and gods have said that staying in the factory is unbearable because the female workers committed suicide by taking poison."

Ms. Senyuan took out the information: "According to the suicide note, the reason for the female worker's suicide by taking poison was because of drug addiction. But the female worker came from Nagano County, the headquarters of Honshu Island. When she was in Nagano County, she studied in a boarding high school. The information shows The female worker was not addicted to drugs before she left Nagano Prefecture. It was not long before she came to Shibuya, and she came here because she got a job in a textile factory. The textile factory works six days a week, and this female worker has a personality Shy, even on the only day off, I seldom go out, and I always read comics or novels in the dormitory."

Matsuzaki Ayako sneered after hearing this: "Hmph, so the tenths of this female worker's drug use were instigated by people in the factory."

"The suicide note and the deceased's diary did not mention why she took drugs. It can only be said that the possibility of being instigated by colleagues in the factory is very high. However, the diary mentioned that she was threatened by other people in the factory. But No specific names were mentioned, they were all replaced by letters." Hosho Takikawa said while looking at the information.

"Wait..." Haitang said in the future, "I remember that it was said in the previous information that after the death of this female worker, other people in the factory encountered bad things. But some of them were only minor injuries, while others were It's very dangerous, just like the other two female workers who attempted suicide later. If these incidents are related to evil spirits, then there are two types of evil spirits, one is warning, just like those spirits dealt with Ayako, And the other is wanting to put people to death."

"So, the meaning of the future is that if the previous injuries and suicides were caused by evil spirits, there are two situations. One is for the purpose of killing people, and the other is just a warning, like disturbing the spirit or crossing the line. What?" Takikawa Hosei rubbed his chin and said, "So Ayako, what did you do just now?"

Matsuzaki Ayako was also at a loss, and carefully recalled the situation at the time: "I really didn't do anything. I just wanted to say the prayers as usual. Without the help of the tree spirit, the effect of my prayers is basically It’s the same as nothing. If you want to interrupt or cross the line, Masako is easier than me, after all, it is Makoto who has been communicating with the spirit.”

Yuanzhen Sako covered her mouth with the sleeve of her kimono and said, "I'm just communicating normally. And the spirits I communicated with didn't even know why I appeared here. I didn't ask anything at all."

Miss Mori turned on the TV screen and replayed the video of the attack on Ayako Matsuzaki.Just like what Matsuzaki Ayako and Hara Masako said, the kimono girl in the video asked something in the blank space and walked slowly into the depths of the factory, while Matsuzaki Ayako in a witch costume just followed behind Hara Masako muttering until the video There is no abnormality at all until it suddenly turns into a disturbed snowflake.

"Could it be because of where Ayako is standing? Just like the previous incident in Yejianshan City, because there is a formation in the factory, people who stand in a specific position will encounter bad things?" Hara Masako suddenly Open your mouth.

"A specific location?" Ms. Mori repeated what Hara Masako said, and took out the floor plan of the factory, marking on it the location where Matsuzaki Ayako and other factory workers were attacked.

"I heard from Lin that you will know a lot about things like magic circles in the future, right? How about it, can you tell what it is?" Miss Mori asked.

Haitang Future carefully looked at the floor plan in front of her, and just shook her head for a while: "I can't see what this is."

"Is it hard to tell?" Mai Taniyama asked.

After thinking about it, Haitang continued to say in the future: "It's not that I can't recognize it, but this picture doesn't conform to the drawing rules of the magic circle. Most of the magic circles are mainly circular, and occasionally there are squares or other shapes. Although the pattern does not require symmetry , but the array points are basically symmetrical. At least I have never seen any magic array where the values ​​of the array points are concentrated in half and the other half is left blank. In addition, the magic array must be a closed regular figure. According to this array point When drawing a picture, if it must be closed, what you draw will not be a regular figure.”

"Then... what if part of it is a real accident? Just look at the half with fewer dots. If it is symmetrical, can you see what shape it is?" Miss Moriyuan asked.

Haitang looked at the picture again in the future, but still gave a negative answer.

"Since this road is impassable, let's change our thinking. Since it's not because of the location, it's better to investigate the information of the workers who are in danger." Miss Senyuan said, looking at the gradually darkening sky, " That's it for today. Assemble tomorrow at SPR at 8am."

The author has something to say: Hey, I haven’t updated for a long time, I was wrong┭┮﹏┭┮It’s summer vacation, I will try my best to update_(:з」∠)_

So the second half of this chapter should be a bonus _(:з」∠)_

※A world full of conspiracy※

On the way home, after receiving a text message from the three Mikas saying, "In order to enhance the sisterhood, we should have dinner together", Haitang Future thought about it and decided to go to the appointment.

The agreed restaurant was not far from Haitang’s future home. When Haitang came to the restaurant, he saw the three Mijias sitting by the window, holding a tome as thick as an Oxford dictionary and studying hard.The book looked like it had aged for some time, with yellowed pages and a badly frayed edge around the cover.

"Good evening, Meijia. What are you looking at?" Haitang walked over and asked in the future.

"Sister, you're here." Sankou Mijia heard the voice, raised her head and smiled at Haitang Future.Close the book, let Haitang Future see the name on the cover.

"Being and Nothingness." Haitang Future read out the words on the cover, ""Existence and Nothingness"? Mika, are you reading a philosophy book?"

Mika Mika smiled and shook her head, "No, this is a book from the association."

"Magicians...Association?" Haitang Future confirmed the name that Mika had mentioned before.And this name has been mentioned many times in the notes of Naru's mother Aozaki Touko.

Sankou Mika nodded: "Yes. Although I am not a member of the association, but there are elders in the family at the clock tower, so I successfully borrowed the book."

"The clock tower?"

"Ah, the Clock Tower is a department of the Association of Magicians. Its headquarters is in London, England." Sankou Mika said, "By the way, sister, do you know the Möbius strip?"

"The Mobius strip? Is that the Mobius strip that rotates the note 180 degrees and then glues the end to the end?"

Sankou Mijia laughed: "Well, that's the one. Sister, do you know that the Mobius strip has a magical effect?"

"What effect?"

"It is said to take a long white strip of paper, paint one side black, and then turn one end over and glue it into a Mobius strip. Cut it along the center of the strip with scissors. The strip is not only Instead of splitting in two, it cuts out a circle twice as long."

"so what?"

"There is a word in the Magician's Association called the Mobius time axis. There are people who specialize in researching what would happen if the time axis, which was supposed to go all the way to the end, was rotated 180 degrees with external force and connected end to end."

Haitang Future felt that she seemed to be beginning to understand the meaning of this conversation: "What will happen?"

"Unfortunately, the facts show that nothing will happen if you do this. Because time can't find a starting point and an end. Therefore, the so-called 180-degree rotation and end-to-end connection can only be taken as an experiment. Later This is defined as a time reset. After the end-to-end connection, everything returns to the original cut point, and after one more circle, time will continue to move forward according to the predetermined trajectory without any change.”

"So, in fact, this research has no practical significance?"

"Although this research has failed, magicians have discovered something else interesting during hundreds of years of trial and error." Sankou Meijia paused, and then said, "If the time axis is rotated 180 degrees, the connection The above is not the initial starting point? For example, it was earlier, or even parallel time and space or different time and space, then the distorted time axis will become something like a bridge connecting the two worlds. .”

"Meijia, you mean time travel?" Haitang finally determined the other party's purpose in the future.

"Yes. This experiment has been under research. Because in some uncertain situations, the traverser will obtain an identity belonging to that world in a different world, and then it will be a normal time travel. What is the difference, so far Nobody can tell."

"So, Mika, you want to say that I am a test subject?"

"How could it be?" Sanguchi Mika shook her head, "Sister, you are a miracle. You are the only one who didn't return to the predetermined track after the Mobius strips were connected end to end. The timeline has deviated on you. "
