On the 100th floor of the Government of the Time Building, Lingsu suddenly stopped in her tracks in the corridor leading to the supervision room.
Immediately after, she seemed to have sensed something, and her pair of phoenix eyes suddenly turned around and descended onto a certain place in the void.
In her eyes, a touch of green light lit up in the dim corridor, like a giant beast rising from the bottom of the sea. In an instant, undercurrents surged and waves surged … But before she could sense it, it quietly dissipated between heaven and earth.
— This energy wave …
She narrowed her eyes.
The red rope tied around her ankle was emitting a scorching heat, burning her skin. The heat awakened her ancient and complicated memories. In an instant, Lingsu felt countless images flashing through her mind like film negatives. Like awakened crows, they leaped up from the abyss and flapped their wings. Black feathers fell in the air, blocking and casting shadows.
The images seemed to appear in front of her eyes, carrying a thick gloomy aura. It was bone-chilling, as if a solid sword had pierced into her bone marrow.
Lingsu's consciousness seemed to be disturbed by these illusory things in her mind. She subconsciously raised her arm to block them. Then, her body trembled slightly, swaying imperceptibly.
"My Lord?"
Mitsuki Munechika, who was following closely behind, noticed her abnormality. He quickly stepped forward and held her shoulders.
The moment his black gloves touched the girl's clothes, he felt an unusual chill.
The temperature did not come from the body, but from the heart.
It was as if it could freeze steel.
Because it was too sudden, his whole body froze for a moment. It took him a long time to recover.
Mitsuki Munechika was stunned for a moment. His New Moon eyes calmed down, and his gaze deepened as he looked at the Divine Inquisitor.
Because of the difference in height between men and women, Mitsuki Munechika was a head taller than the Divine Inquisitor. At this moment, he stepped forward and stood side by side with the Divine Inquisitor. The light from the corridor fell on his head and cast a large shadow on the Divine Inquisitor.
Mitsuki lowered his head and looked at the girl in the shadow, who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, leaning on his arm.
— She was very slender and weak.
It was also very beautiful.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard for them to believe that such a huge contrast could exist in a person.
Light and darkness overlapped, cruelty and gentleness combined.
This was an inherent norm in human nature. There was no absolute right or wrong in this world. Sometimes, a person's eyes might not be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
At the end of the day, what you see may not be true.
This was what they had learned in the year when they were without a master.
However, Lingsu was different from the humans they were familiar with.
Or rather … she wasn't a human in the true sense of the word.
There had never been such a cold body among humans — it was like a corpse that was still alive.
Mitsuki's fingers trembled slightly as he held the Divine Inquisitor.
Lingsu's daze was short-lived.
The moment Mitsuki stepped forward to support her, she recovered from the illusion in her mind.
However, the mental damage she had suffered in the illusion was still there. Hence, she raised her hand and held onto Mitsuki's arm, barely supporting herself.
She couldn't bear pain.
After panting lightly for a while, she let go of her hand and stood up straight.
Mitsuki Munechika also tactfully let go of the Divine Inquisitor's shoulder at this moment. Following the force of her push, he took half a step back and stood half a body's length behind the Divine Inquisitor, guarding her firmly by her side.
"Master, are you alright?"
After this incident, the staff leading the way had long stopped and looked at Lingsu worriedly.
Lingsu shook her head. "I'm fine."
That illusion just now … Perhaps it came from the broken piece of the bell that was separated from the knot on her ankle.
Although the bell had shattered and disappeared when she was protecting Pharmaceutical Research, it was only the appearance of the bell that dissipated. Based on the scene when she was rushing over, the guards might not have been able to deplete all the spiritual power on the bell.
… Perhaps someone had picked up the remnants of her spiritual power from that era and was familiar with her spiritual power, so they took the opportunity to come over.
— Was it that person?
In the secluded corridor of the monitoring room, a small breeze suddenly blew.
The breeze unknowingly swirled around Lingsu. Her soft, snow-white hair floated, mixed with an oppressive aura that enveloped her body.
Her white hair rose and fell like a waterfall in front of her eyes, concealing the sly expression under her lazy and charming eyes.
"Master."
The female staff was a little breathless from this sudden aura, and her face was a little pale.
But in any case, she was an S-Class employee in the headquarters. Although she did not have any spiritual power, because of her research work, she had dealt with many similar emergencies.
She quickly took out a device that looked like a tablet from her inner pocket, opened it, and pressed a few buttons on it.
Then, the cold voice of a machine came from the broadcast. "Warning, the spiritual power in Area A has exceeded the limit. Quarantining will be carried out.
Warning, the spiritual power in Area A has exceeded the limit. Quarantining will be carried out. "
Then, a transparent "wall" of light descended from the ceiling and quickly buckled around the Divine Inquisitor.
Mitsuki looked up, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, then stepped forward and shook his sleeve.
His fingers quickly reached for his waist, and in a flash, he pulled out his sword. With a beautiful swing of the sword, the reflection of the metal flashed, and he slashed at the transparent wall of light.
This slash carried the spiritual power given by the Divine Inquisitor, emitting the faint yellow light of the New Moon in the air, and collided with the transparent wall of light.
After a loud "bam — —" like an explosion.
The ground also shook.
Everything returned to nothingness.
The vortex of spiritual power around Lingsu also dissipated at the same time.
She acted as if she had just regained her senses and lost control again. Her eyes were a little unfocused. After a short pause, she rubbed her temples and said, "I'm sorry."
Spiritual power going berserk … As expected, it was that illusion that affected her …
She thought to herself.
"It's … it's fine."
The staff member glanced at the wall where the blade had left a mark, then glanced at Mikazuki Munechika, who was putting away his blade with a smile on his face, and said quietly.
As expected, she should have exclaimed.
The boss was indeed the boss. Even the boss's sword was not something that This Pill could compare to.
The wall of light just now was a barrier that could withstand the latest missiles of the Department of Defense. Although it was not closed, its power was still there.
But … it was actually cut into pieces.
"Let's get down to business," she said.
Otherwise, it would be heartbreaking to see her research destroyed so easily.
"When Divine Inquisitor 3304 was found dead, the people from the energy laboratory came and detected a large amount of energy waves from the other world, but they could not find the person who released it," the staff explained.
"But the residue of the energy release is real. We suspect that this energy was implanted into Divine Inquisitor 3304's body in advance, and then smuggled into the modern world with Divine Inquisitor 3304. This hidden energy has a certain trigger condition, but we don't have any evidence, so everything is just speculation. We can't confirm that speculation is the truth."
"In other words, we can basically confirm that her death was caused by this energy wave, but we can't confirm whether it was a homicide or suicide?" Lingsu asked.
"You can understand it that way."
The staff nodded as he retrieved information from the tablet in his hand. "We have carefully checked the information of Divine Inquisitor 3304. So far, we have confirmed that she is not from the modern world, but from the other world.
We have also checked the information stored in the archives and confirmed that she is from the ninja world.
However, the 'door' that she smuggled into the other world has not been found. We still don't know if the 'door' was opened by someone, or if there is a spatial loophole somewhere. "
"Then, do you have any conclusion about the door that sent Akechi Mitsuhide away from the Aitakama Shrine?"
The staff hesitated for a moment. "For now."
Lingsu's gaze fell on him, her lazy eyes difficult to distinguish whether she was happy or angry. "For now?"
"Because according to the data provided by the master, the inside of the door …" The staff paused. "It should be an infinite space."
Infinite space?
Not the door to the ninja world?
Lingsu was stunned.
She remembered the familiar feeling that stopped her when she touched the barrier of the door with her spiritual power.
It was Chakra.
"In fact, although infinite space can be artificially created, the technology is very complicated. There are also people in the modern world who understand this technology. Although the structure of the formation looks different, the general effect is the same."
The staff searched for information about infinite space and projected a virtual image in front of the Divine Inquisitor and Mitsuki.
"This technology in the ninja world, if there is the corresponding attribute ability, it is very easy to make.
It is understandable that the master would mistake this as a door to the other world, because in principle, it does belong to the 'other world.' But in the modern world, we are more willing to use this technology to do one thing. "
She stared at Lingsu and said word by word, "To brainwash and create spies."
Infinite space and time – as the name suggests, in this space and time, the things experienced will be infinitely changed.
Repeat it over and over again.
And the master who created this space will change the memory of the space according to his needs, so that the people in the infinite space and time cycle will unknowingly change their thoughts and ways of thinking, and then become puppets controlled by the master.
The way to break it is very simple, that is, the people in the infinite space and time awaken themselves, realize that this is a false space and time, and jump out of the cycle.
For people like Lingsu with strong will and spiritual power, it is possible.
But Akechi Mitsuhide … even if he is a powerful historical figure, he is still a mortal.
The staff obviously already knew this, and sighed and said, "This is probably the method that the Divine Inquisitor used to change the world.
And the worst part is that we've checked her record of previous deployments.
As an Inquisitor who has been in office since 2205, the number of times she went out is huge, and we don't know when she started doing this.
If we want to check one by one, we don't have enough people, and the risk is too high.
The implications are too wide, and the slightest carelessness can cause distortion in space and time, disrupting the order of the universe, and the consequences are unimaginable. "
To fight against the historical revisionists, they only need to go back in time.
In the process, they avoid contact with important historical figures, and strictly control the number of swords that go back in time.
Checking is not enough.
This not only means that they need to go back in time one by one, but they also need to contact important historical figures.
One word, one action, can bring about a destructive disaster to the stability of space and time.
And now that Divine Inquisitor 3304 is dead, no one will know her "chess piece".
It is like countless invisible bombs were buried in Japan's history, people don't know what the conditions are to trigger the explosion, and the only person who knows the secret is already dead.
"No." Lingsu shook her head at this time.
She looked up, and retracted her gaze from the virtual image projected by the tablet, and landed on the staff again. Hong Yan's lips suddenly curved into a gentle smile.
"She is not the only one holding the key," she said softly.
She said softly with a faint smile on her face, "Didn't I say that you won't get any secrets from that woman?"
