The successor of Marei's ring changed, and the covenant was thus invalid,
The parallel worlds that had been derived from the change of history had been created because there was no one to maintain them,
And they were facing collapse.
This was an extremely dangerous signal.
The battle between the Government of the Time and the historical revisionists had been going on for five years,
To say that there had not been a single failure,
That was impossible.
In fact,
Within five years,
The few failures were all solved by the family alliance that held Marei's ring.
Once the main world collapsed,
It was of no benefit to these people who lived in the main world,
Therefore,
Whenever the war could not be saved, the holder of Marei's ring would appear,
They would work together to open up another passage for the changed history, so that the trend of history would not affect the existing main world.
And these changed histories, through their own development, gradually formed an independent world,
The cornerstone of their existence was maintained by the main world,
It was stable now.
But it was not a long-term solution after all.
Without the person who maintained them,
The parallel worlds that had been increasing would become even more unstable.
And because of the cornerstone, they would gradually move closer to the main world, trying to return to their origin and merge with the main world.
At that time... the result of countless worlds merging together,
It would only be a purgatory on earth.
She clenched her fingers,
With a little force,
The white letter paper was crumpled into a ball in the girl's hand.
Then, it turned into powder in the silent force,
It fell from the gaps between her fingers.
Lingsu stood up from her chair.
As she moved, the long snow-white hair that was coiled around the chair slowly slid down. The ends of the hair swept across the edge of the chair leg, and then gently followed behind her head, stretching out like a waterfall.
Scorpion raised his head slightly as she stood up, and his pupils followed her movements. "Do you have something to do?"
Although it was a question, his tone was firm, and even a little moved.
Lingsu stopped in her tracks and turned around to ask, "Do you want to go?"
The youth did not directly respond to her words.
He quietly glanced in Itachi's direction. A pair of wine-red pupils were clear, without any emotion or other impurities, like the glass eyes of an exquisite puppet.
"It's just too boring."
He opened his palm and stretched it out from his wide sleeves. His fingertips were moving.
Following his movement, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the wall in the dark room that was blocked by the curtains.
The shadow's movements were stiff, and when it walked out of the darkness, it made a creaking sound. It wasn't harsh, but it wasn't pleasant either.
Lingsu did not say anything.
She raised her head and looked at the 'shadow' that was walking towards her. Now that it had left the completely dark corner, it revealed its figure. Under its disheveled long hair was a carved face, and a tattered black cloak was draped over its similarly wooden body. It was a puppet in the form of a tall man.
The puppet's body was connected to a light blue, imperceptible string. The other end of the string was connected to the fingertip of Scorpion's palm that was sticking out of the sleeve.
Lingsu had stayed in the Ninja World for several years, so she knew how different this seemingly fragile puppet was.
But she didn't seem to notice its danger. She just looked at the puppet and smiled. Her voice was a little amused. "So Divine Inquisitor 3304 Mi Yue is someone you know."
The puppet's movements stiffened for a moment.
"Disciple?
Or partner?
Or chess piece? "Lingsu didn't seem to notice and continued to ask.
She obviously didn't ask seriously.
Because she had come to her own conclusion about this after seeing them.
Now that she asked, she just saw him give himself away, so she took the opportunity to ask.
"The woman you brought out has caused a lot of trouble here." She said.
"… But she's already dead." Scorpion clicked his tongue. His fingertip moved slightly, and the puppet hid in the dark corner again.
"It's because she's dead that it's troublesome."
Lingsu smiled and looked at Itachi. Her eyes were lazy, and she said pointedly, "She died at a good time."
It made her wonder if Mi Yue's organization and Akatsuki had reached some kind of agreement.
Mi Yue's Puppet Technique was taught by Scorpion. There was no doubt about that.
But if what Mi Yue did was also guided by Akatsuki, then it was a bit far-fetched.
She knew that Pain had been running around for the Bijuu all these years, and Nagato's body could no longer support him to divide more of his attention.
So compared to the cooperation between them, she was more inclined to their relationship of mutual use.
Mi Yue regarded Akatsuki as his chess piece, and Akatsuki also regarded her as a chess piece.
The two sides used each other and left a hidden hand … As for the result …
Just look at the two people who were still alive in front of her.
Gently twisting her fingertips, Lingsu's idea of leaving flashed. When she looked at the two people in front of her again, her words changed, "… I'll let you do something for me."
Scorpion: "…" What did you just say you don't need them to do?
He silently complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
But they knew in their hearts that the task that Payne assigned to the two of them this time was to plant them here.
Memories from a long time ago gradually emerged in his mind, and the girl in front of him seemed to have changed a little over the years.
She was no longer the same as before … the person who used to be ruthless.
But people were creatures that were difficult to change. Even if she gradually restrained herself now, some essential things still couldn't be changed, and they were revealed inadvertently.
He raised his eyebrows, his eyes moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
…
"Task."
At this time, a low magnetic male voice suddenly sounded.
It was Itachi.
He took the lead to ask what Lingsu wanted them to do.
It seemed to be carrying out the deal they made that day: as long as they could help Lingsu stabilize here, she would follow them back to collect the Bijuu.
"I need you to guard This Pill." Soon, the girl spoke.
She thought about the Inquisitor's meeting without a follow-up and fell into deep thought.
She didn't know how long it would take to solve the matter of the White Orchid. It was difficult to guarantee that the Inquisitors would take advantage of her absence and do something.
The swords in This Pill might still be lacking in ability, but she had spent a lot of effort on them.
She was also a responsible person to a certain extent.
Lingsu needed these swords that had not yet grown up to have a backer when she was not around.
Itachi had no objection to her decision. On the other hand, Sasori remembered what he saw these days. Each sword was tied with a knot made of spiritual power, and the talisman on the knot was very unfriendly to them. He was very sensible and didn't say anything.
Those were sharp weapons specially made to target them …
The targeted ninjas were now the guardians of these swords …
"I will arrange for Compressional Hasselblad and my attendant Hillman Che Guoguang to contact you. They will tell you what to do," Lingsu said.
"You alone?" Itachi suddenly asked.
Lingsu paused.
Her gaze fell on Itachi's side face, looking at the soft corners of the man's face and a pair of dark pupils that were still like stagnant water. After a while, she said, "No, I want to bring two swords."
·
The two swords that the inquisitor said she wanted to bring were the only two Minamoto swords that Honmaru 3304 did not respond to her — Choi and Knee Bolus.
She chose these two swords to accompany her.
Since the inquisitor had already given her order, as swords that were already contracted, Choi and Knee Bolus naturally could not refuse.
Although they were given the right to choose freely, it was only a matter of a word from the high and mighty girl when this right would be taken away.
When the two of them put on their combat robes and arrived at the courtyard in front of the main entrance, the inquisitor was already waiting there.
In order not to expose her identity too early, the inquisitor dressed like many weak Honmaru inquisitors today.
She wore a kimono, had shoulder-length black hair, and wore a red demon's Prajna Mask on her face. Her hair was neatly tied up.
If it wasn't for the fact that the spiritual power in his body came from the girl in front of him, Choi would never believe that the girl in front of him, whose temperament and height were completely different from Ji Jun's, was the new inquisitor.
Completely changing her appearance and temperament was easy to explain.
But the girl in front of him had a completely different height and physique than before, which was not something that could be easily explained.
Just as he was wondering, the girl seemed to understand what they were thinking, and moved her finger slightly.
Choi and Knee Bolus felt the air around Ji Jun distort and ripple, and then the original appearance appeared, like a reflection in the water, only rippling for a short moment before disappearing.
'This is …' Sachiqie frowned slightly.
An illusion?
Unfortunately, the inquisitor could not answer his question.
The eyes under the mask swept past the two of them, and then looked at the swords that were sending them off not far away, and said, "Let's go."
Because they were going to meet with the upper echelons of the government, Lingsu brought along Fox's Aid.
The meeting location was in the Government of the Time's main building in the modern world.
Fox's Aid had already brought along the space-time converter, and was using its claws to click on the screen and set the coordinates.
As the coordinates were set, the conversion began.
A golden light shone down and enveloped the inquisitor and the two swords. Then, the golden light dissipated, and the inquisitor and the Minamoto brothers disappeared from This Pill.
At the same time, in the Government of the Time's main building.
In the conference room on the top floor.
The few upper echelons were gathered together.
