Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 374 Bloody Greetings from the Deep Sea

The scene in the dusty hole next to me in the morning reappeared before my eyes:
The target is Lilia.

She was wrapping the handle of the knife with her fighting spirit, and in a very primitive way, she was rubbing the blade against a stone to start a fire.

The knife was rusty and stained with blood.

The fire suddenly rose and ignited the dry grass.

It looks like he is going to light a fire and cook.

In the background of the curtain with Lilia as the focal point, the two little guys sat in the corner of the room, and Senis stared blankly in Lilia's direction with a dull look. Norn huddled his head in Senis's arms.

Aixia was writing and drawing on the ground with a small wooden stick. Her face was tense and she looked like a child pretending to be serious.

No crying or making a fuss.

This scene made Alan, who had been under great pressure since he turned on the positioning system in the morning, subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Aisha suddenly raised her head in the corner. She stared at Lilia with her green eyes, stood up in her dirty little leather boots, and ran to her mother. However, she tripped and fell into Lilia's arms because she ran too fast.

Even though she was scolded by the latter, she was not annoyed at all. She just hugged Lilia's arm and giggled brightly.

Lilia, whose face was covered in dust and pressure, curled up her lips.

Aixia, at such a young age, you are already such a sensible child.
Different from the mischievous red-haired girl in the original book
Because the changes in this week came too early, did the peaceful childhood life in Buena Village end too quickly?
However, smiling can still make people feel relaxed unconsciously
Damn it
Thinking of this, Allen moved his gaze away from Melna's pupils. At the same time, the childish red-haired girl in his memory shattered into pieces in Allen's pupils as his memory withdrew.

replaced by.

A maid doll with soft facial lines and full of the charm of an adult woman.

He swallowed the food in his mouth in one gulp, and casually blew a gust of wind, which gently hit the face of Lokisi, who was stuffing her mouth with food like a hamster. The latter's chewing sound and the sound of the wind covered up the words that Alan blurted out quickly.

"Merna, in the future, what will be the specific cause of my death? And when will it happen?"

Melna's hand froze, and she lost her balance in holding the bowl, and the soup almost splashed on Luo Qixi's face. Luo Qixi shrank her head, not hearing what Alan said, and looked at the two of them in confusion while chewing.

Allen stared into Melna's panicked eyes, who was obviously stunned, and found that she tried her best to avoid his gaze. She looked very guilty, and she was clearly saying, "Master, I won't answer you no matter what you say."

He narrowed his eyes, calmed his anxious emotions, casually stuffed the fish in his hand back into Luo Qixi's mouth, and continued speaking, but changed the subject.

“I can roughly guess why you have traces of the Miris sect on you, because you must learn healing magic.

The main task of you being sent back is to bring me the barrier technique, help me complete my incarnation, obtain the "precognitive dream", and let me gain the ability to see the future before I have time to leave the island, which will serve as the starting point of the butterfly effect.

Well, you must know that I have the ability to predict dreams.

So, Myrna, do you know who I dreamed about last night?"

Alan's words were very clear and he released information in a progressive form. Each sentence provided a cause for the next one, and the next sentence was the result of the previous one. His speech was not fast, so the recipient could hear it clearly.

However, for the recipient of the information, if he does not understand the previous sentence, he will not be able to understand the next sentence.

For example, when the first sentence started, Luo Qixi had a confused look on her face and was still chewing the fish in a daze.

As for Melna:
In the first and second sentences, her expression was still as panicked as if she was asking you to stop talking. But when she said the three words "precognitive dream", Melna's eyelids blinked unnaturally, and after the last question about dreams, her expression showed a hint of doubt that was hard to detect.

Allen is a water god.

Capturing this kind of micro-expression is easier than capturing murderous intent.

The words fall.

Melna made a swish sound, lowered her head quickly, held the bowl to her chest, and put her face in the mouth of the bowl.

Play quail.

It seemed that she had made up her mind. Unless Alan took off his pants immediately and made her kneel down, there was no way he would make her speak again.

Impossible.

"Your hair fell into the bowl."

"Ah?! Sorry!! Master!"

Melna was in a panic.

There was a hint of disappointment in Allen's eyes.

From the current perspective, after one night on the main island, plus three consecutive attempts last night and just now.

Basically all the information that could be pried out of Melna's mouth had been pried out:

Obviously, she knew many objective facts that had already happened in the future, about these objective "turning points", such as how and why "I" died in the future, and what Aixia did in the future.

But she said nothing.

The reason is also very simple.

Based on her own experience as a person who had lived in Buena Village, she, or Aisha behind her, obviously wanted to use her foresight about the "future" to avoid some bad consequences as much as possible.

Most likely, the bad consequence will be the fact that 'I' will die.

If I had noticed the causal signs related to this incident, I would probably have done everything I could to change the fact of my death. If I could die, does it prove that more people around me died in the incident of my death?
The possibility of this situation happening must be eliminated from the root.

This is definitely a choice I would make.

But this goes against Aisha's idea.

Did she want to make sure I died?
of course not.

In the eyes of Aixia in the future, to ensure that the future is changed, there are actually only a few key turning points. Before that, I must reach that "turning point" safely and according to the plan, and then exert influence at the key nodes.

Because if my behavior is out of control, then their plans will be completely out of control.

This will create a series of chain reactions.

For example: Before Rudy's turning point 4, if he had known in advance that a rat infected with the magic stone disease virus would jump out of the basement at some point.

What would he do?
First, get rid of the rat. What if you really can't find the rat? That is to completely seal off the basement, or even move out.

Then clean up the rats several times a day to get rid of them once and for all.

But how can you know whether there will be turning points 5, 6, and 7 in the relationship between man and God? At that time, you will no longer have any advantage as a prophet.

The principle is simple, but
Aixia, your idea seems a bit naive.
It is clear that we can communicate. If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth?

Even if we avoided that turning point, how can we be sure that there will be no new turning points in the future?
With my strength and the computing power of the Water God, I can at least make up for the shortcomings of her plan to a large extent. Why should she be on guard against me like a thief? Could it be that the fact that they were diverted away in front of me deepened her impression that 'Brother Alan is unreliable'?
Could it be that this child's impression of me is entirely that of an unreliable brother who died suddenly due to carelessness?

this.
Alan pinched his brows with a headache, thinking of Aisha's childish face just now.

Shouldn't. Probably.
Alan looked at Melna again, trying to pry some more information out.

The latter wiped the soup on his forehead with a bitter look, and when he saw Alan looking at him, he quickly closed his mouth, turned around, faced Alan with his back, and raised his buttocks high.

Play ostrich.

——Don’t even think about kneeling down and speaking this time. I will never speak even if you insert it!

Alan:.
Roxy, who was being bullied by his wife, finally swallowed the fish in his mouth. He was about to ask what Allen and Melna were talking about, but then Allen stuffed his mouth full of food again, just like he did last night.

At present, it seems that Melna will never speak even if she is beaten to death.

However, Allen has confirmed that Melna actually has no idea of ​​the full plan. She just received the orders engraved in the underlying behavioral logic of the puppet and served as a simple "executor".

She knew about the human god, she knew that Alan was going to die, and she also knew that Loki would lose her arm and become blind.

But after that, the details are not so clear, for example, if you ask her where Laplace is, and what happened between me and Laplace in the future in the dragon ruins.

She could only shake her head blankly.

And
The most important thing is
So far, after she changed the fact that Luo Qixi was disabled, does her "future vision" really still exist? No one has a better say than Allen about the butterfly effect.

For example, in Buena Village, some things happened at the beginning of the story. From the moment Allen met Roxy, the follow-up was completely changed.

Alan's eyes flickered, and he reached out to pinch Loki's cheek. The latter held Alan's hand in return and kept moaning.

'If Luo Qixi became disabled on the main island, her behavior logic would definitely change. Although the healing technique could save her life, Luo Qixi would definitely be deeply shocked because she was not confident about her appearance.

Most likely, he took her out to sea in a hurry, trying to find a high-level treatment that could cure her disability.
But the current situation is that she is intact, and her anxious mentality is being cured by the other party.

In this case, from the moment Roxy was rescued, the butterfly had already been flapping its wings, and its subsequent behavior would definitely change. How could Aisha judge that the turning point she wanted to avoid still existed?

unless
That turning point was very hard, so hard that whether Luo Qixi was disabled or not, whether my behavior changed or not, would not affect the outcome that I would die.
How is this possible?'

Thinking of this, Alan's expression froze slightly.

'This isn't right wait!'

'Trying to find a high-level treatment for her disability? ? ? ? '

The information about how Orstead reshaped Rudy's severed limbs in the original book flashed through his mind.

"Shit! Looking for a high-level healing technique that can cure Lokisi's disability, isn't that just looking for Orsted? ? "

'Apart from him, who else can be sure to have this level of healing skills!'

"Is it really like this? It's really like this!"

Alan's eyes widened at the thought, and the terrifying scene of himself and Orstead passing by before the big transfer flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly looked at Melna.

"It's Orsted! Melna, is it him? The future? Is it because of him?!"

Melna turned her head and looked at Alan in astonishment, her butt muscles tensed, her face was full of "Master, don't ask me, just stuff anything into my mouth, I really can't say anything more! ! "

Alan looked at this scene with a gloomy expression.

Luo Qixi suddenly raised her eyes and asked.

"Precognitive dreams? Orsted?"

Alan looked at Lokixi and was silent for a moment, hiding the possibility of his own BE line of "death" and "the opponent's disability".

"It's a brave man's ability, a kind of prophecy that appears in the form of dreams. In my dream, I encountered some things that are somewhat related to the current top power - Dragon God, Orsted. So I asked Melna."

Luo Qixi opened her mouth slightly, "The prophecy technique expressed through dreams. The hero is really powerful. I heard that the prophecy technique has been lost for a long time.
Dragon God? Wait, does that mean my dream is also related to Alan's prophecy? In my dream, I remember that the top-ranked powerful dragon god Orsted is the child of the first generation dragon god?"

Alan hesitated for a moment.

"Yes, he is my potential ally, but he has been in the reincarnation magic for too long and hates humans and gods. Without proper preparation, he can't be my ally.
It’s best to avoid a sudden encounter with the other party.”

Luo Qixi seemed to understand a little, but spoke with a confused expression.

"That's it"

Allen glanced at Melna, who was pretending to be a dead doll, and tried to calm himself down, but it was Orsted who reminded him of last night's dream again.

Then I thought of the "God of Skills" - Laplace.

He was silent for a moment, and was about to try to ask Luo Qixi about her dream last night. He wondered whether Luo Qixi, who loved learning, had ever heard of the dragon ruins that appeared in the dream.

There were shouts coming from afar.

"Mr. Allen! Mr. Allen!! Look!! Look!! We caught a deep fish! This is so rare, we have such good luck recently!! You are in luck!"

Turning around, I saw a few small boats coming from the sailing ship not far away.

Clem was standing in front of a small boat, waving excitedly at Alan.

Behind him, there was a huge fish lying on the boat. From a distance, it could be seen that the fish had covered more than half of the five-meter-long deck of the boat. It was completely black, a bit like a giant turbot.

Alan looked at Climb, took a deep look at the fish on the boat, then shifted his gaze to where Melna was standing next to him.

The latter jumped up from the ground the moment he noticed the shouting, folded his hands in front of his abdomen, and smiled very reservedly.

It was as if there was someone else sticking his butt out just now.

"Merna, the fish you cooked this morning seems to be another kind of deep-sea fish, right?"

Melna looked at Alan and smiled, her mouth tightly shut.

Alan asked again.

"Based on the sailing time, how long will it take us to reach land? Where are we now?"

Melna blinked and thought for a moment, then realized there was no trap in Alan's words, and then she responded.

"Based on the navigation information that Clem shared with us last time, we are almost out of the archipelago."

"That's it."

There was a commotion at the junction of the ship's side, and the adventurers dragged a huge, wide and flat sea fish that was more than five meters long and three meters wide onto the deck.

"I'm so fucking tired!"

"I'm so lucky. Is it because I haven't fished for a long time? These days I can always catch these fish that emerge from the deep sea. I remember that I have only seen these deep sea fish a few times on the main island."

"I've only seen one! It was much smaller than this one! And it was caught when it was stranded on the beach. Fishermen in deep sea areas simply can't catch it! Could it be that it was a blessing from Master Allen?"

"Master Allen, um, you're here! This fish is not dead yet! We found it in the net this morning and brought it here immediately!"

"What a good sign! Please tell me how to deal with the slurry. Can I bring a piece for my child to try?"

"Ha ha!"

Amid the noisy and exciting voices of the adventurers, Alan came to their side like a gust of wind.

However, unlike the adventurers who were feeling suffocated in the "Purgatory Labyrinth", the high spirits of the adventurers were different as they were about to return home.

He squatted down and looked at the deep sea fish on the deck, whose eyeball alone was as big as Alan's fist.

The latter's eyes were completely gray, as if covered by a layer of shadow.

Gulu rolled his eyes in his sockets and looked at Alan.

Amid the noise of everyone's chatter, Alan quietly reached out and covered the fish.

During the flow, the fish were normal and there was nothing unusual.

He was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked the adventurer beside him.

"Besides this abyssal fish, are there any other abnormal situations?"

The Sword God Style senior adventurer just laughed.

"Abnormal situation? What abnormal situation could there be? Lord Allen, please kill it quickly! The brothers asked you to kill it this time to bring good luck."

As the words were spoken, a gentle breeze blew.
The adventurer was still mumbling the last word of "head". In his eyes, Alan's body was still shaking as he suddenly leaned back.

His head was shaking too.

When his lips were parted, a thin line of blood was seen extending from his chin upwards across his entire head, and his eyeballs rolled around in confusion.

next moment.

His face slowly shifted.

With a crash, it fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
