Chapter 107 Crazy Plan

“It was triggered so quickly…”

Xia Zhi's eyes flashed with surprise. He had just left, but those things were so impatient? Didn't they consider that this might also be a trap?

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, as if lost in thought, and tapped the armrest of his chair with the knuckles of his index finger.

"Did something happen?"

Touka Takanashi who was standing next to her noticed something and asked, turning her head to look over.

Xia Zhi shook his head and answered casually: "There were some minor problems at home, but they have been properly handled."

Home?

Rikka Takanashi raised her eyebrows.

Xia Zhi also turned his head and looked out the window, only to see the scenery outside rapidly receding. At the end of the horizon, the setting sun sank little by little like blood, and the afterglow of the sunset became increasingly weak and soft.

They were supposed to be on vacation in Hawaii, but now they are taking a train to Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Because Itomori Town is located deep in the mountains of Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, it is difficult to get there directly, and transportation is quite inconvenient.

After all, three years ago, when nothing had happened, it was just a small town deep in the mountains, and it was very difficult to get in and out.

And after the meteorite disaster three years ago, it was even worse...

Soon, the train arrived at the station and slowly stopped.

Rikka, who was still sleepy, rubbed her sleepy eyes and followed them out of the station while yawning.

The three tried to hail a taxi on the roadside. They stopped several taxis in succession. Although the taxi drivers were generally friendly, they became hesitant and embarrassed when they heard the destination. In the end, they chose not to take the order.

"This……"

Touka Takanashi frowned slightly, lowered her eyes in front of her, and looked at the lucky amulet that her slender white fingers gently pressed on.

—Has this amulet lost its magic?
—Or is it that in this particular place its power is powerless?
It's not impossible. After all, this place seems to be the source of the changes in the world that someone said. Maybe it's quite special? She secretly guessed in her heart that maybe this was the case.

Xia Zhi saw her confusion and chuckled as he explained, "This is actually quite normal. Even if you have great luck, you still have to follow the basic rules. The amulet can help you win a prize in a lottery, but it can't create a miracle if there is no lottery at all."

He continued, "The amulet has always been relative. It can only bring extraordinary good luck to ordinary people, but it also has its limitations. The outcome of some things cannot be changed by good luck. It is determined by objective conditions."

When something has no basis for realization due to objective reasons, then it is not a result that good luck can change. To put it more intuitively, if you buy Chinese lottery tickets, you will never win the jackpot.

At most you can only win a small prize, which is better than nothing.

Because this is a result determined by objective facts, and a lucky charm cannot overturn common sense.

"That is to say, no driver is willing to go there, so normal luck is of no use, right?" Miss Shihua roughly understood what was going on.

"Yes, unlike in big cities where taxis run everywhere and pick up the same passengers, the place we are going to is too remote... and there are probably some bad rumors about it, so it's almost dark now, and they definitely won't be happy to run."

The young man nodded.

Miss Shihua frowned, thought about it for a while, and found that it was indeed the case.

Even if we told them they could charge more, the taxi drivers showed no sign of being interested. They all made excuses. The most daring one only said that it would be better if we went there during the day, but now the sun has set...

But think about it, the same place was hit twice in a row by meteorites at almost the same position with great precision...even the probability of two artillery shells on the battlefield falling into the same crater is so small, not to mention two meteorites from outer space falling into the same crater.

Therefore, no matter how you look at this matter, it seems that something is not right. It can be said that the coincidence is too much.

Even when she was searching for information online, she had seen many different statements more than once, with people swearing that it was a punishment from heaven or something, and that the place was cursed... Then the local people would surely have such thoughts and be even more wary of it, right?

Considering that the place is indeed very special, we cannot rule out the possibility that there is something scary there.

"What should we do now?" After collecting her thoughts, Miss Shihua asked someone for their opinion.

Although no one in the town was injured or killed because a disaster drill was being conducted that night, the town was lucky enough to escape the disaster. However, people can escape, but the town certainly cannot, so the meteorite still ruthlessly hit the town.

Most of the town was destroyed, and a new lake was even created on the original site...

——Under such circumstances, it is definitely unrealistic to rebuild the town on its original location.

——So the current Itomori Town no longer exists. The former residents have been relocated elsewhere, and the former transportation routes have been completely cut off.

It is definitely impossible to reach the ruins of the small town deep in the mountains and forests by public transportation, and now taxis don’t want to go there, as if they are very taboo about it. You can’t just walk there.

"Let's take a break today. Tomorrow we can just get a car and drive there ourselves...it's such a simple thing."

The young man made the decision without hesitation.

He currently does not have the ability to fly or the means to transfer through space, and the noise made by a flying artifact is too loud, which could easily alert the enemy. He can only try to approach the area in some ordinary ways.

Next.

The three of them found a restaurant to eat first and sat near the window.

Rikka was leaning against the window, looking at the strange city scene outside, while Jukka was holding the menu, reading it calmly.

Xia Zhi also held his chin and looked out the window where Rikka Takanashi was lying, staring at the horizon not far away. When he was on the train, he could already see the imaginary tree on the horizon. Although it was still so unreal, as if it was not on the same level as reality.

But compared to the more distant places——

After getting close to this area, I can still feel its presence much stronger.

After all, it is an invading weapon against reality. Even if it is a seedling, it has already shown its potential and started to interfere with the space where it grows... In Xia Zhi's eyes, the seedlings on the horizon are like thousand-meter-high mountains, standing in the sky, using clouds instead of leaves to cover themselves.

Over the past few years, this tree has absorbed a huge amount of magic power from the earth veins. In terms of pure numerical value, it can be said that it has reached several times more than when the Fuyuki Holy Grail was full...

but……

This is still far from enough, extremely not enough.

He quickly calculated it in his mind, but he was not very sure because there were still too many unknown variables.

For example, we still don’t know what the operating mechanism is that triggers the key force that rewrites history.

It is not necessarily a time machine in some sense, it may just be some kind of supernatural phenomenon, without any entity or device. In other words, it is not necessarily guaranteed to be triggered stably.

Under such circumstances, Xia Zhi naturally could not be sure whether his crazy plan could succeed.

Even if he could completely fill his super-high-level magic furnace and unleash the power of an entire Holy Grail, burning up that huge amount of magic power in an instant, there was no telling to what extent the world would be distorted by the wish he made.

As for whether it is possible to successfully move the Fantasy Tree back to 1,200 years ago -

This is still an unknown...
