Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

She came to the kitchen first and used a small spell she learned from the Witch King on the alley outside the house.

The effect of this spell is to detect objects with temperature within a certain range. In this environment, it is thanks to the identity of the infected person that Adele can successfully use this spell.

Unless they are in a specific environment or wear special protective clothing, even the Safra and Fidia clan, whose body temperatures are resistant to ordinary people, cannot escape the detection of this spell. Adele believes that the little one at her doorstep There should be no such environment in the alley.

As a result of the spell's feedback, Adele found a humanoid heat source lying on the ground in the alley, and the surrounding scrap furniture had fallen to the ground in a mess.

Under the humanoid heat source, there was a large pool of liquid that was rapidly losing temperature, which should be the source of the bloody smell that Adele smelled.

It was obvious that the man had been seriously injured. Adele could feel that the man's body temperature was rapidly passing away. If no action was taken, the man would most likely die in the alley.

Adele found a flashlight from the cabinet, ran to the kitchen window, and peeked half of her head out of the window.

Under the light of the flashlight, Adele finally saw the situation in the alley clearly.

The result of Adele's magic detection was basically the same. A girl of similar age fell in the alley outside. The girl was wearing the same school uniform as Adele, and she was obviously a student of Sagazaki University Affiliated High School.

Adele noticed that there was a huge and hideous wound on the girl's waist, as if some beast had torn a piece of flesh from her body. In addition, her exposed skin was covered with large bruises. The wounds, large and small, looked extremely miserable.

The blood slowly bloomed under her body like a blooming flower, and even the last trace of blood almost drained from her pale face.

She shouted to the girl below, "Hold on! I'll call an ambulance for you right away!"

Adele's shout seemed to have a certain effect. The girl on the ground reluctantly opened her eyes and looked in her direction.

The girl's eyes were beautiful violet, and even though she was so seriously injured, the look she looked at Adele was full of calm.

"Don't... call an ambulance... they're everywhere..."

After leaving such a thought-provoking sentence in a weak voice, the girl's slightly raised arm fell heavily to the ground, apparently having completely lost consciousness.

Are they everywhere?Who do they refer to?Was he the one who hurt her?

Although it was not clear what the girl was referring to, Adele knew that she was about to die.

After hesitating for less than a second, Adele knew that she still couldn't ignore it. She found the medical kit from home and hurriedly ran into the alley.

In this emergency situation, Adele didn't care so much anymore. She took out the medicine to stop the bleeding from the medicine box and poured it all on the girl's lower back, which was the most seriously injured.

Adele's skill in healing Origin Stones was not very high. With the help of medicine, Adele was so tired that she was sweating all over, and finally stopped all the bleeding wounds on the girl's body.

Although she was still furious, her life was saved.

The girl was so light that she seemed to have no weight. Adele picked her up from the pool of blood on the ground with almost no effort.

Bringing the girl back into the house, Adele used up almost all the bandages at home before bandaging all the wounds on the girl's body. The tattered school uniform that exuded the unpleasant smell of blood was also worn by Adele. Take it off and burn it on fire.

If this thing was left, I'm afraid there would be a lot of trouble, as well as the pool of blood outside the house. After putting the girl on the bed and settling her down, Adele also went out to deal with it.

After finishing all this, Adele wiped the sweat from her forehead and saw that Adele's body was covered in blood and she looked extremely embarrassed.

"It's so dirty..."

After looking at herself, Adele curled her lips in disgust.

At this time, almost two hours had passed since she called Li Ang. Fortunately, the neighbor next door might be working overtime today. Otherwise, if there was such a big movement, she would have come out to check the situation. In which case would it be Adele's turn to destroy these evidences?

I returned to the room and took a look at the girl's condition. She was still in a coma and I didn't know when she would wake up.

Although Adele felt a little hungry now, the food was already cold anyway, so she was not in a hurry to eat dinner. Adele decided to take a bath first and get herself clean.

Listening to the sound of water rushing in her ears and feeling the warm water flowing down her body, Adele's tired body gradually relaxed.

The first day spent in Sagazaki City was a bit fulfilling... I wonder how Akiha and Chiaki enjoyed their meal at the sushi restaurant, and whether they have sent her any new messages.

Adele was busy treating the girl just now and had no time to look at her phone.

"...By the way, who is she?"

Although she is wearing the same school uniform as Adele, Adele has never seen this girl in her somewhat vague memory. However, it is impossible for Adele to know everyone in the school. She should be the same as her. Different ages.

But what Adele wants to ask the most is who is the 'they' the girl refers to?Is he the murderer Li Ang mentioned before?

'They're everywhere', which gave Adele a bad feeling.

It's a pity that the girl was so seriously injured that she didn't know when she would wake up.

Chapter 42 Farewell Without Saying Goodbye

After rinsing off the blood on her body, Adele took a hot bath comfortably before leaving the bathroom with a little reluctance.

After she put on a bathrobe and dried her hair, Li Ang finally came back from outside.

When they separated, Adele gave Leon a spare key to the home, so when she heard the sound of the door opening, Adele knew that it was Leon who was back.

"You're finally back, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Adele said with some complaint.

"Sorry, this city is larger than I thought, so I wasted a little time."

Just as Li Ang was about to tell Adele what he saw at the edge of the city, he smelled the strong smell of blood in the house.

"I smell a strong smell of blood," Li Ang said with some confusion as the tip of his nose twitched slightly, "Are you injured?"

But Adele didn't look like she was injured. As for the other possibility... As far as Li Ang knew, it hadn't happened yet.

"No, I'm not injured," Adele waved her hand, "The blood was shed by others."

"Before you came back, a girl fell in the alley next to her. She was seriously injured. All the blood was hers."

Adele told Li Ang roughly what happened before.

"Wait a minute, where is her injured part?" Li Ang's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's near the center of the lower back. A large piece of meat has been torn off. It looks like it was bitten off by something... Is there any problem?"

"The midfielder..." Li Ang shook his head, "I am too worried. It seems that I am not the murderer."

"There is something I didn't have time to tell you. Another murder occurred this afternoon. When I was investigating the scene, I met the murderer and injured him on the left side of the abdomen. I thought you had killed the murderer just now. I picked it up and took it home..."

In short, the location of the injury is different, and if you think about it carefully, the time doesn't match up.

Li Ang was the murderer who was wounded at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the girl fell in the alley at almost ten o'clock in the evening. Li Ang must have thought too much, she was more like a new girl. of victims.

"What a coincidence..." Adele muttered softly.

"Anyway, you have to be careful with people with abdominal injuries," Li Ang warned. "That guy is difficult to deal with. I still haven't figured out how he ran away."

Although the murderer has not committed crimes in crowded places so far, you still need to pay attention.

After telling Adele, Li Ang suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, why didn't you call an ambulance for her? Did you have to take her home?"

"I wanted to call an ambulance for her at first," Adele explained, "but she said something very strange to me."

"She said 'Don't call an ambulance, they're everywhere' and then she passed out."

"And the situation was quite urgent at that time. She might not be able to hold on until the ambulance came, so I brought her back."

"Are they everywhere?"

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but frown.

"I'm also curious about what this means. Could it be referring to those who hurt her... It's a pity that she shows no sign of waking up yet, otherwise we would be suspicious and ask what's going on."

"You mean...she is still in a coma and has not woken up?"

"Yes, there are still a lot of empty rooms here, so I packed one out for her." Adele nodded, and then said with some distress, "It would be great if I could contact her relatives. There is no way to take care of her all the time..."

Adele had to go to class during the day and had no time to take care of the girl. However, leaving such an unconscious person at home made Adele a little uneasy.

"I think maybe you don't have to worry about this at all," Li Ang looked upstairs and nodded thoughtfully, "There are only two of us in this house now, and the girl you mentioned seems to have left. ”

"..."

"...Eh? How is this possible??"

Adele was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran upstairs, "I'm going to check on the situation."

Li Ang also followed Adele and walked upstairs. Maybe Adele herself didn't realize it, but after Li Ang's perception included the house, he found that although the total area was much smaller, the general size of the house was The structure and many details are similar to Adele's house in Letania. Perhaps these are some reflections of Adele's memory.

So what about the apartment that Li Ang rented?He only found some more important things at that time, and did not have time to search all the places. Maybe Li Ang should go back there and take a look. If he searches carefully in the house, he might be able to find some surprises.

But now let’s go check out the situation with Adele.

Adele rushed to the room where the girl had been placed before, but the room was empty. There was no one on the bed, only the quilts were piled in a ball at the head of the bed.

Bandages stained with blood for several days were left on the ground, and the window on the side was wide open, dangling in the night wind.

It seems that the girl left here through the window.

"He's really gone..."

Adele showed a somewhat incredulous expression, "She was so seriously injured..."

She thought the girl wouldn't wake up for ten days and a half, but she didn't expect that less than an hour later, the girl had woken up from her coma and left without Adele's knowledge.

As she spoke, Adele ran to the window and looked down. Of course, all she saw was the empty street outside.

"Why did she leave?" Adele looked a little confused.

"Maybe I don't want to cause you any trouble, right?" Li Ang shrugged and guessed.

"That's good..." Adele seemed a little bit upset about the girl's departure.

"Everyone has left, so don't think too much. Come downstairs and eat quickly. I've been hungry for almost a day." Li Ang patted Adele and said.

After gathering up the blood-stained bandages and throwing them away, Adele had no choice but to follow Li Ang downstairs to prepare for dinner. Just like Li Ang said, everyone had already left, so what was the use of being worried about her anymore. ?

After sitting on the table for several hours, the food had already gone cold, but neither of them cared about this.

While eating the cold meal, Li Ang talked about his findings in the afternoon, "I spent a few hours finding the boundaries of the city, and then I saw some interesting sights there."

Chapter 43 Illusion and Reality

Back to this afternoon.

The police chief personally led a raid and arrested everyone, sparing Li Ang, who had just come here today.

All the people who searched the first class were arrested for investigation. No one assigned him a task, so Li Ang naturally had nothing to do. There was no one Li Ang knew in other departments of the police station. He couldn't sit alone in an empty office. Are you in a daze?

After a few casual rounds in the police station and chatting with other people here, Li Ang discovered a very interesting situation.

In the memory of the residents of this city, this is a complete world. The country they are in is called 'Yingzhou', and Sagazaki City is just a small corner of this world.

However, these people have never left this city in their lives. They obtain information about areas outside Sagazaki City through the Internet, TV and other channels.

So there is a question, is the information they obtained true?Just like in "The Truman Show", does the outside world really exist?

It probably doesn't exist. It's exaggerated that there are nearly a million people living in Sagazaki City. Li Ang doesn't believe that the god can create a world the same size as Terra.

Between investigating the clues of the broadcasting company and looking for the possible boundary, Li Ang chose the latter. The broadcasting company was there and would not run away if left alone, but the police station should not let Li Ang stay idle like this forever. , now it’s time to make use of it.

Borrowing a car from the police station, Li Ang headed along the main road towards the end of the city.

Unexpectedly, apart from the fact that the road was a bit far and it took nearly three hours to reach the border, Li Ang did not encounter any obstacles along the way. The mysterious voice that appeared on the radio did not come out to stop Li Ang. It seemed that This is the default result.

"This is really an exaggeration..."

Looking at the huge section that ran through the entire highway in front of him, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh.

Just like running into an unfinished area in a video game, the highway stopped abruptly in front of Li Ang, and one step further led to an abyss.

What he saw in front was not a normal scene, but a bunch of color blocks with black as the main tone. Li Ang picked up a few stones from nearby and threw them in. The stones did not cause any ripples, and were absorbed by the void space in front of them. Devour.

Fortunately, Li Ang immediately slowed down after noticing that there were significantly fewer vehicles on the surrounding roads. Otherwise, he didn't know what would happen if he rushed into this area.

"In other words, this world is actually a virtual one? We have not really come to this world?" After stopping Leon's experience, Adele couldn't help but ask.

"You can't say that," Li Ang shook his head, "According to my guess, this should be a world between fantasy and reality."

"Illusion means that although this world seems to have no problems on the surface, there are actually many unreasonable places. For example, this is obviously a very prosperous city, but there have never been visitors from outside, and no one has tried to leave here. .”

"It's as if there is some will that erases the thought of leaving here from everyone's mind."

"But this world is not completely illusory. Everything we feel here is real, so we must not treat this world as an illusion."

In this world, the boundary between illusion and reality is very blurred. As a saying goes, when the illusion reaches a certain level, there is no difference between virtuality and reality.

After a little warning to Adele, telling her not to underestimate the world because of his words, Li Ang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, I will go to the city boundary to investigate the situation and see if I can Finding a way out of here is definitely not as simple as jumping from there."

Intuition told Li Ang that that should be the passage to leave, but Li Ang hadn't found the right way yet.

"What about you? Did your first day go well?" Li Ang asked.
