because i am stel

Well, it's really unremarkable.The morning was mainly for wandering, and after passing through the education center still under construction in Rhodes Island, I met the group of bear children—unfortunately, because there was no fall of Qiecheng.Zaolu and Lingdong, or Natalia and Sonia are still two distinct people. Although Alina had a go-between during that lunch, the friendship between them is really not good.

They were arguing over the use of a stadium at the Rhode Island Education Center when they were encountered.Zao Lu, who has long regarded herself as the future president of the student union, decided to organize a solemn enough student exchange meeting at the beginning of the school year, while Lin Dong brought her little friends to plan a rock band.

The atmosphere of the discussion was not friendly. When Miss Stelter passed by, the two parties almost had a fight—Zao Lu had roughly organized the framework of the student union in the past two days, and there were many Ursas who seemed to be the descendants of intellectuals. The young girl shook her head and shouted behind her.On the other side, Lin Dong gathered a large number of ordinary students from families, and they were in the same position because of the collective fleeing behavior of the nobles before the Qiecheng incident.

Rich and poor, noble and humble, eternal struggle theme.

And Miss Shiertel's decision was to use the principal's authority to form a student union that united the will of both parties.And told them that in the plan, this education center has two stadiums.

It's not a cure for the symptoms, she knows.But she didn't think that the root cause was just to squeeze the two tit-for-tat children, Lin Dong and Zao Lu, together.As for what kind of sparks they will have in the future... Ah, it doesn't matter, let's think about the future.

Anyway, with such a group of brats, the most remarkable thing they can do is blow up the school.

So she left—it took her half an hour and reminded her of Alina—after seeking Persephone's advice.She communicated with Tallulah, Alina, and Yelena through the communication terminal without meeting each other.Greetings, say hello.And send them the clothes I prepared in the previous weaving operation by drone.

What was sent to Tallulah was a black evening dress, backless, gorgeous and elegant.Anyway, Drake doesn't have to worry about the low temperature in the north, so he simply designed it like this to show the temperament of this dragon girl-and Tallulah's reply message is-"Since you prepared such a dress for me, wait When the quarantine is over, please be sure to come to the prom with me and dance with me."

A work-friendly teacher's dress for Alina.It is similar to a suit, but it is more slim, and it keeps warm and tight without revealing too much figure. For Alina who often stays in school, this kind of dress is better—and Alina’s message is — "Thank you, Al, and I'm not going to the dance, just have fun."

What was sent to Yelena was a lace dress, which was similar to Tallulah's previous one, but it was more Ursus style and the color was pure ice blue and white.According to the medical report, Yelena's hypothermia is almost cured, and her perception of temperature will gradually return to a normal state.For this reason, this foreign dress has built-in constant temperature Originium technology.And Yelena's message for this gift was - "There are only three participants, you, me, and Tallulah. Please be prepared to accompany her and me until one or both of us are exhausted."

The message is over, the exchange is useless.

So Miss Steele complied, and wrote down in her notebook the entry—'I'm going to dance with these two things one evening'.

Well, not too bad.It's just a night, and it doesn't take much time.

She shrugged, packed lunch for Persephone and went to the hospital to see Kelsey - Kelsey was still asleep, and her double was actually there all the time - yes, she went to see Kelsey, in fact, it's not Kelsey but the few people staying beside Kelsey.Several medical operators she knew unilaterally, Liz, and Amiya who came to visit Kelsey.Amiya looked very happy when she saw her, and her pointed rabbit ears swayed left and right involuntarily.

So she gave Amiya a proposal—suggesting that the future students of the education center, as well as other outside employees in the city station, follow the example of the Rhodes Island cadres and prepare a code name for themselves.And this can be regarded as promoting corporate culture.

Amiya felt that there was nothing wrong with this proposal, so she passed it.And with the establishment of this proposal, Natalia has become Zaolu.And Sonia became Winter because of this.

She feels this is good, because it means she no longer has to suffer from the fact that many operators cannot be called by their original names.After all, in previous games, many operators recognized their code names better than their real names, and this also made her feel inconsistent and abnormal when she had to call them by their real names.

This is a good thing, and there is no need to worry about good things.

She 'ran into' Rosemary, who had been trailing her for two blocks, while wandering around in the afternoon.And took this little film to the casino for an afternoon.The kitten had a good time, but was a little clingy to her.And after she prepared the dinner, fed the kitten and sent Persephone's share, on the way back from sending Rosemary, she happened to run into the impudent Warfarin.

This time it should be a real encounter - because Warfarin was really startled when she met her, and she couldn't help playing tricks on Warfarin because of her trembling and ghostly appearance. Fan.

It was very pleasant, but Warfarin kept her promise with Ke Luxie, and did not reveal anything about that conversation—although this would increase the guilt of the Gorefiend lady.But who made her decide to bear it by herself?

In short, after bullying Miss Gorefiend to the point of crying, Shirtel let her go with satisfaction, and walked towards the new scientific research center in Persephone that had already been prepared.And this ordinary day that belonged to her came to an end.

........................

Persephone's new machine looks like an ordinary bed - it took her at least 5 minutes to lay out the exterior of the machine, making it look neat and elegant and pleasant to the touch - under the bed There are more than [-] pipelines with different purposes and corresponding to many special components with complex functions.The energy supply is directly in charge of the sarcophagus. For this reason, this mobile city will even be fixed on the current plot tonight to save energy to the greatest extent.

"What should I do? Lie down?" Miss Stelter looked at her partner. "It's only been one day now. I can't push that door."

"Yes, I know." Persephone nodded. "But you can at least stand by the door, can't you?"

"Uh... I haven't tried this before." Shirtel rubbed his head. "I always go straight...no, I just push the door open. Naturally, I don't feel it..."

"Then try." Persephone pointed to the prepared bed. "Lie down."

So the red-haired Sarkaz lay down on it, lying upright like a mummy.

And the purple-haired girl doctor lay down beside her.

"Take my hand," she said.

"Uh..." Shirtel was slightly puzzled, but he did as he did.

"This is to strengthen the connection. I haven't been able to set up a device that can interfere with your ability to travel through the dream world in one day. The function of this bed is just to make me a part of you temporarily in concept. To avoid It’s just that you can’t retrieve my breath when you use your ability.”

"It's like a binding device." She shrugged. "According to my calculations, if you don't have this bed as an aid, then you have to stick your hand into my chest and hold my heart when I perform the ceremony to be safe... Well, I don't mind if you like it In that case, it may be troublesome to deal with it afterwards..."

Shirtel, the corners of his eyes twitched.

"This is very good! This is enough! There is no need to make such a warm scene so strange!"

"I don't think 'cozy' is the right word for the situation. But we can ignore this detail... Ready, Sylter. I'll be in deep sleep in five seconds, and then you can Try to use your skills."

she said, and quietly closed her eyes.

And Shirtel obediently counted silently for five seconds—one, two, three, four, five.

"Persephone?"

"………………"--no respond.

Then, the girl with flaming hair closed her eyes.

The world was peeled off in her perception, and time and space seemed to become infinitely far away—her will transcended time and space, and transcended the metaphysical realm, and in the infinitely distant other side, she touched a closed door.

The door is very strong, she can only push it open a little bit - the concept of power does not exist here, there is no loss, but only one-seventh of the door for her to pass through is open.

[I can't get in, no matter how I think about it, I can't get in. 】—she thought.

【Hmm...Persephone, are you there? 】——She thought in another direction.

So she felt, a wisp of breath, like a shattered mirror fragment, wrapped around the 'body' in her cognition.

[Is that Persephone? 】

[Maybe, after all, Polsephone said that her consciousness layer is the city of mirrors. 】

[But... how to do it? 】——She was puzzled.

Suddenly, a subtle idea emerged in her heart, a thought that did not belong to her.

[Looks into the door. 】——The voice told her.

So she looked at the door - instead of going through it directly as before, she stood at the door and observed carefully.

Observe, time has no meaning here.

She stared at the door, not knowing how much subjective time she had wasted.

The darkness seemed to be boiling, and images seemed to be constructed in nothingness—she seemed to see a sea with thousands of foams on it.She seemed to see a building with infinite portals in it.Many scenes are constantly changing in her cognition.And when everything stabilized, the huge tree and the billions of fruits on the branches came into view.

【world Tree. 】——Suddenly such a thought came to her mind.

[Because I am Shirtel, this is the World Tree. 】——Deep in the soul, the answer to the appearance of the tree was made.

Then she asked Persephone's heterogeneous aura-【What should I do next? 】

This time, however, Persephone did not answer her again.

【She can't come, she is not qualified to arrive here】——A clear understanding beyond perception appeared in the depths of her heart, and she immediately accepted this result.

Persephone is useless now.

So, what to do?

Ah... there is no hesitation.The power that belongs to oneself naturally has to be controlled in its own way.

So, the girl looked at the fruit closest to her on the tree.And as her attention tended to concentrate, the outline of the fruit also continued to enlarge on the other side of the door.

She saw darkness, she saw fire.

She saw the war, she saw the withering of the world and the lonely king.

She saw the world appearing in her eyes like a chessboard.And in a certain direction that she instinctively focused on, she saw a familiar image.

There is a handmade temple among the ruined walls, and in the depths of the temple, women in black clothes covering their eyes are praying silently.

——It’s the Fireproof Girl!

——It's... the Soul of Darkness!

..............................

Warhammer is going to drop sooner or later, and the setting will not eat it.

Hmm... Let's seek some sideline assistance here.

Seeing the audience here, can you give Alina an operator codename?The requirement is within three characters and the wording is elegant.I will choose the one with the highest number of likes, please leave a message here directly.This questionnaire will continue until Alina gets a code name in the plot.

Chapter 170 Six: Growing Pains

The world is in her eyes, every detail is revealed.

[Dark Soul... Sure enough, the inferences all along are correct. 】

[A dream world that I participate in but is not yet perfect, the possibility of it becoming my next arrival in the dream world will increase significantly.And if my understanding and cognition are correct, then my next dream in a week... no, six days later, I will arrive on the land of Lothric again. 】

Miss Steele thought, her will roaming the land—Persephone's talents were not limitless after all.In the field of exploration in the dream world, I have a greater say than her.

After all, this is your own strength.Even if you promise to share, it is your own strength.

【What can I do? 】

The girl thought to herself, she knew that it was impossible for her to pass through the door between the worlds now—if she could not pass, she would not pass, there was no reason to pass half or throw a small part of it.Because this is a quantum, it is a Planck length.There is only a zero-one decision between and or no, and there is no zero-five intermediate option. Before the time is up, I can only stand on this side of the door.

[I can at least take a look? 】

She thought, the sight first focused on the fireproof woman—the woman in the black dress just knelt quietly in front of the bonfire, silently, with her hands quietly on her own knees—the fireproof woman should now be When praying, you just don't know who is the object of prayer.

[Can I touch her? 】

Miss Steele stretched out her hand, trying to touch the corner of the Fireproof Woman's clothes—but she stopped suddenly before the thought of touching became real.This decision was not materialized.

[No, I shouldn't use the fireproof girl as an experiment - I'm not the kind of bad guy who would use my own girl to try tricks.And the priority of engagement should be under observation. 】

[Let's see what I can see first. 】

She shifted her gaze and began to look at the hand-made temple—it was still inside the ruins of the city of sin.The original appearance of this temple is a wide hall.

Outside the temple, there was a raging fire burning in the darkness.

She could see where the bricks and stones joined together, the traces were still fresh, and should have been shaped by spells or flesh not long ago.When the viewing angle is raised, the internal view becomes a top view.She found that she was looking at a dynamic three-dimensional map, as long as she wanted, she could see any place in this area.

[It's really interesting, obviously separated by the barrier of the dream world.Light will not be able to project to my eyes and sound will not be transmitted through the medium... No, I cannot have the concept of eyes and ears here at all... It turns out that it is not the normal senses known to the world, but Some kind of perception beyond conceptual description? 】

[Can I see the inside of the object? 】

She tried to focus on a brick, but was unsuccessful in obtaining cross-sectional data.However, she shifted her sight to a piece of carbon stone that showed a honeycomb structure due to high heat ablation.However, she found that she could barely see the structure inside the hive.

[Insufficient resolution. 】

[I can't directly observe at the micron level, and it's even more unrealistic to directly look at molecular bonds... But this shows that there is still room for development of this power. 】

Shirtel, although he has no head now, still nodded habitually.She continued to observe and inspect the surrounding environment, and the whole picture of the ruins of the city of crimes appeared in her eyes - she found the battle area between herself and the giant king Youmu, and found that the embers there had not been completely burned do.

[It shouldn't be long before I leave Losric... no more than half a month at most.Seven days may be a more appropriate figure. 】

[I remember... the flow of time between worlds is always uncertain.Moreover, in my continuous exploration of the dream world, I never seem to encounter such an unfolding at a point in time when it is too late. 】

[Is there some kind of operating mechanism in this?Or, as Persephone expected, this power to explore other worlds has the characteristics of idealism.And the only heart it has is my heart? 】

Some doubts surfaced in her heart, she just wrote it down, she was not in a hurry.Anyway, after going out, it is natural to use Persephone's wisdom for staff.And what I have to do now is to expand the data and scope of exploration as much as possible.

She glanced at the fire-proof girl who was still unaware, and then she pulled her will away from here—she turned back several times on the way, and made sure that she didn't show up. The direction of his own disappearance' This kind of vulgar information lost the bridge and left safely.Then, reach the ground.

on the ground.

The ground of the crime capital is still an ordinary and ordinary surface.Because the flames are only gradually extinguished, not the faint dimness that is close to being extinguished-the order still exists on this land.But in the dark corners, the decaying darkness also showed signs of breeding.

She saw that the depths of the cemetery began to be restless, and some undead—for now, they were just undead, not undead who couldn't even be killed, awakened in the deserted cemetery.And wander around aimlessly.

She saw animals dying, saw the depths of the forest rotting, and whispering loudly among the bushes and pools.

She saw the sun's brilliance gradually fading, and she could even vaguely discern the black ring hidden by the brilliance in the depths of the sun.

She saw the mud of the abyss churning and twisting at the border of the land, and preventing her from looking further afield.

The world of Dark Souls is a plane with a round sky, not a spherical star that respects Newton.

And after she finished watching, she listened to the voice of this world a little bit.

There was no humming from the earth, it was just a dead silence.

There are no whispers in the sky, there is only emptiness.

But beyond that, dark clouds linger in the minds of the distressed beings—everyone knows that the building will fall, and everyone knows that a decision must be made.However, reason and emotion have never been able to reach an agreement, and not all individuals regard the continuation of the world as the only meaning of existence.

She heard the murmurs of the people in the marketplace—the war between the Kingdom and the Church had stalled.Because spreading the fire is imminent, soldiers who are unwilling to fight naturally hinder the continuation of the war.

It is said that a peace meeting is about to be held.

It is said that the princes of Lothric are willing to make concessions, choose a princess from the offshoot of the royal family, and send her to the White Cult to become a knight.While serving as a hostage and a symbol of obedience, he also swore an oath to the Pope for his service.

Pope Sullivan is said to be willing to accept this peace.Not only will they retreat at a corresponding pace, but they will also retreat from the high wall on the border of Lothric while acknowledging the rulership of the twin princes.And he was even willing to release the news that as long as the princess passed the knight's test, he even allowed the princess to return to the land where she was born with the guards after becoming a qualified knight.
