I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi asked himself as he walked forward and knocked on the door gently.

"I heard that before she became an elf, she couldn't speak because of some mental illness."

Tokisaki Kurumi explained.

"Didn't I say this before? After offering the spirit crystal, the elf became an ordinary person."

"Correspondingly, the loss of the spirit crystal also caused her to lose her voice which had already been restored."

Without a voice, I can’t sing, and naturally I can no longer be an idol singer.

I like singing, but lost my voice due to some things... Why does this attribute sound so familiar?

The figure of a wheat-yellow girl emerged in Xia Zhi's mind.

Shaking his head, he pulled his thoughts back.

After standing at the door and waiting for a while, no sound came out from inside.

Are you not at home?

Xia Zhi looked to the side and noticed a piece of paper next to the door with a line of words written in a beautiful handwriting:

"Just leave it at the door."

Maybe it's written for people like takeout deliverymen?

But come to think of it, at this time of year, is there anyone still delivering food?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, ignored the prompt, and knocked on the door again.

After a long time, as if getting impatient with his persistent "harassment", footsteps were heard from inside.

The door was opened, revealing a girl with silver-purple hair. Her hair was disheveled and seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time. She looked tired, but her beautiful and delicate features could not be concealed.

The door was not completely open, but was held by a chain, keeping it half open just enough for one hand to pass through, as if deliberately guarding against him.

The girl glanced at his hands, a look of obvious vigilance emerging on her face.

See, didn’t I tell you I would bring a gift to your door?

Xia Zhi thought in his heart and opened his mouth slightly:

"Ms. Yui Miku..."

The girl's face turned cold and she immediately wanted to close the door.

"…Or should I call you Miss Elf?"

"..."

The girl stopped what she was doing and looked at him warily.

She did not move aside, still blocking the door, took out her phone from her pocket, tapped it quickly a few times, and showed the screen to Xia Zhi.

"Who are you?"

Xia Zhi knew that this step was a success.

According to Tokisaki Kurumi, the world line of this singularity has been reshaped by the four-dimensional barrier. Even the heroes inside are still in the process of getting familiar with it, and they know even less about existences like elves.

The only people who knew about the existence of elves, besides the girl herself, were a certain time elf lady and some members of large societies who had received oracles from the "¨々future".

Once I revealed her identity as an elf, it would naturally arouse her curiosity.

"I'm here to help you..."

Seeing that the girl was still alert and frowned as if enduring something, but had no intention of closing the door again, Xia Zhi continued

“Actually, I came from the future.”

Yui Miku showed an expression of obvious disbelief

"You don't think I'll believe it just because you said that, do you?"

That's right.

This is usually the reaction of a normal person when he hears someone tell him that he came back from the future, right?

But the girl is different... She should have come into contact with similar beings before.

Moreover, judging from the attitude she showed at the beginning, if she really thought he was making fun of her, she should have slammed the door and ignored him long ago.

Maybe she remembered that someone (Wang Lehao) had said something similar to her before?

Anyway, with the foreshadowing of the "predecessors", the rest will be relatively easy.

Xia Zhi thought about it and decided to give the most important proof.

"You should know Tokisaki Kurumi, right?"

However, the girl's face immediately turned cold.

"go out!"

……

Looking at the door slamming shut, Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into silence.

"It seems that you don't seem to be very popular."

He said this to Tokisaki Kurumi in his heart.

The elf girl did not deny this.

"…There's something I forgot to tell you."

Tokisaki Kurumi's reminder came late

"It's best not to mention my name in front of her."

...Thanks for your reminder.

But next time, could you please put this important thing before the measurements?

.......

Chapter 984: The Girl Who Was Not Saved

Xia Zhi was a little curious about what Tokisaki Kurumi had done to others to make them hate her so much.

"After all, I have contributed partly to her becoming what she is now."

Tokisaki Kurumi answered slowly.

Credit?

Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

Facing the boy's doubts, Tokisaki Kurumi continued:

"Mr. Xia Zhi, please put yourself in my shoes. Let's not talk about the power that is far beyond that of ordinary people... Would you easily give up the treasure that you cherish so much and regard as your life?"

Normally, the answer is obvious, except...

"Didn't you say that all the elves are volunteers?" Xia Zhi remembered what she said at the beginning and asked in confusion.

"Of course it's all voluntary...but it's normal to use some tricks in the process, right?" the girl replied.

...Xia Zhi probably understood.

Although the process of how the girl "persuaded" the elves was omitted in the previous description, it is conceivable that it is definitely not that simple... especially since Yui Miku is the first elf to do so and there is no previous experience to refer to or prove6.

Intimidation, inducement, a combination of hard and soft tactics, deception...well, appealing to people's emotions and reason are all very common negotiation techniques.

Even when facing the threat of death from the gods, he agreed to use his soul crystal as the core to build the barrier. Not only did he lose the voice he cherished, but he was also trapped forever in this "past" with no future... For the "instigator" of all this, even if he knew that this was already the "best" outcome, it was inevitable that he would feel resentful, right?

After all, judging from the results, even after paying so much, the girl was still not saved.

"She didn't blame me wrongly... To her, I'm also a bad person." Tokisaki Kurumi said softly, and there was no unusual emotion in her voice.

Therefore...it is understandable that I vent my anger on her.

After all, to Yui Miku, she is a pure victim.

Her ending technically didn't change.

She gave everything, and the only people she saved were the people in the future.

"..."

Seeing that the girl fell silent after saying this, Xia Zhi couldn't help but recall what she said at that time.

…Isn't she the one who saves the world?

Tokisaki Kurumi believes that she failed to completely save them, but was the one who pushed them into this situation.

Therefore, facing the girl's accusation, she did not make any excuses or rebuttals, but accepted it calmly.

This was probably one of the reasons why she agreed so easily when she heard that I wanted to save the elves.

"Kuang San..." Xia Zhi opened his mouth slightly.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

After shaking his head, Xia Zhi continued to ask: "...What kind of gift do you think should be brought to the door?"

"Oh, Mr. Xia Zhi is really persistent." The elf girl teased.

"To deal with girls, pestering them is also a method." Xia Zhi replied.

"That's right."

Tokisaki Kurumi chuckled and did not deny it.

Seeing that the girl's mood had improved again, Xia Zhi changed the subject:

"What does she like, anyway?"

"Well..." Tokisaki Kurumi thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe... a girl?"

What a coincidence! I like girls too.

Xia Zhi thought.

However, in this unfamiliar world, where can you ask me to find a girl?

"How about trying on women's clothing?" Miss Time Elf suggested with interest.

"Sorry, I don't have that kind of fetish." Xia Zhi rejected it without hesitation.

Although he had briefly experienced this when he exchanged bodies with Eluk and Shana, he should forget about putting on clothes on his own initiative.

Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.

If gifts don't work...

"We can only start with her hobbies."

"It seems that Mr. Xia Zhi has already come up with an idea?"

"That's it."

As Xia Zhi was talking, he bought some gifts and returned to Yui Miku's house and knocked on the door again.

However, it seemed as if he had been blacklisted. This time, no matter how hard he knocked, the girl had no intention of opening the door.

"How about just breaking in?" Tokisaki Kurumi suggested.

"That's trespassing, right?"

Your favorability with others is already low enough, so you shouldn't do things that increase the difficulty, right?

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi took out his cell phone from his pocket.

He clicked on a small program that Hubie had written for him, and the page that popped up quickly displayed the locations and names of all the terminals around him.

Xia Zhi took a quick look, picked the nearest mobile terminal on the list, and quickly typed a few words on his phone.

After selecting, click Send

"What did you send her?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked curiously.

"If she doesn't come out, I'll tear down her house." Xia Zhi put the phone back into his pocket and answered casually.

"..."
