A journey into an infinite dimension

However, just before the lance was fully materialized, a slender hand reached out from the side and stopped the process from developing.

"Calm down and think clearly before taking action."

As the calm voice rang in his ears, the next moment, time in Shizhi's eyes resumed flowing, and the bullet successfully hit the kitten's body without anyone stopping it.

"....Meow?"

The expected scene of blood splattering did not happen. Instead, the wounds on the kitten's body were recovering as if time had gone back, and the front limb that was somewhat unnaturally bent also became straight and intact again.

The kitten, who had originally closed its eyes out of fear, also noticed something strange about itself. Then it opened its eyes, looked at its body, and tilted its head in a slightly silly way, as if wondering why the pain suddenly disappeared.

"Meow~"

Then, perhaps because of animal instinct, when it turned around and saw Kurumi, it ran to her feet, gently rubbed her with its furry head, and made a soft cry of gratitude.

"Be good."

Gently squatting down and picking up the kitten, Kuang San let it rub against her cheek, her red and gold eyes full of love, it was completely impossible to tell that she had just killed a living being with her own hands.

"Some people believe that humans are superior to other lives, so other lives can be tortured and killed at will, but humans cannot be tortured and killed; while some people can ignore and trample on this concept for the sake of what they love. This is the difference between beliefs and values."

Standing beside Shiori and watching the scene with her, Kaguya said softly.

"There is no absolute right or wrong between the two, and there is no value in arguing or comparing them, so it is meaningless to impose your own values ​​on others."

Whether it is thinking that you are right and wanting to correct or save others, or scolding or stopping others for this reason, it is all a manifestation of arrogance.

There is nothing wrong with being kind, but being nosy in other people's affairs is wrong most of the time.

Kaguya hopes that Shiori can understand this and be able to control his kindness instead of being controlled by it.

"...Jiaye, what are your ideas?"

After dispersing the shadow in his hand, Shiori looked at Kurumi who was teasing the kitten, and the extremely glaring scarlet at her feet. He was silent for a while, then asked in a daze.

“Nothing else matters except the people and things you care about.”

Turning her head slightly to look at Shiori, Kaguya spoke calmly.

[Besides the most important people and things, it doesn't matter what happens to everything else, including yourself.]

In the world of consciousness, looking at Kaguya through the extra-large screen in front of him, Ge Jiuye, who was rolling around on the bed playing games out of boredom, couldn't help but complain.

[It cannot be denied that as long as you are all fine, I really don’t care what happens to me.]

Kaguya did not refute this.

She also knows her own personality, but she doesn't think it's a problem and has no plans to change it.

[...Do you really want to be locked up in a dark room?]

【Then I'll leave my body to you. 】

[You wish! Even if I starve to death in the conscious world and jump out of the window, I won't be able to get out!]

[You are setting a flag, I am looking forward to it. ]

【Bullshit! 】

"Yeah......"

Only care about the things you care about, right?

Perhaps, this is why Jiaye is so powerful and strong?

So, if I want to become stronger and truly want Jiaye to come back to me, do I also need to give up meaningless kindness?

Shizhi couldn't help but remain silent.

"Don't think too much, just be yourself."

After being together for so many years, how could Kaguya not see what Shiori was thinking at this moment?

In response, she just patted her shoulder and spoke softly.

Tut tut tut tu——————

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

Continuous sounds like bullets being fired echoed throughout the park dyed red by the setting sun. Countless pure white laser beams attacked from the sky, and were blocked by a suddenly rising spiritual barrier just before they hit Kuang San. At the same time, a figure swooped down from the sky, holding a pure white lightsaber and slashed at Kuang San's head.

boom! ! !

The lightsaber collided with the barrier, and a violent explosion was accompanied by a burst of thick smoke and dust. A strong gust of wind swept around, and the leaves and dust that were rolled up made Shizhi raise his hand to block the front, and look reluctantly in the direction of Kurumi.

"What happened?"

"There's a girl wearing CR-UNIT who looks a lot like you and is fighting with Kurumi. Currently, Kurumi, who is holding the kitten, is at a disadvantage."

Kaguya, who had also opened a barrier to block all incoming foreign objects for herself and Shiori, and had a clear view of the battle situation, gave a brief explanation.

"But is that your sister?"

Looking at the two figures entangled in the smoke and dust, Kaguya asked curiously.

It was the first time she had seen someone who looked so similar to Shiori. He was like a smaller version of Shiori.

This girl looks more like Shiori's sister than Kotori—although Kotori and Shiori are not biological sisters.

"Eh?"

After hearing Kaguya's description, Shiori immediately thought of someone.

It can't really be her, can it?

Chapter 193: Immortal Seed, Concept of Time, Years, Theory of Lifespan... (Being Beaten)

"Tsk, are you late?"

In the center of the park, in the gradually thinning smoke, two figures emerged from the smoke almost simultaneously, and the smoke that blocked the view completely dissipated without a trace.

Opposite to Kurumi, a girl who looked to be only about 13 or 4 years old, with long blue hair tied into a neat ponytail and a teardrop mole under her left eye, was holding a sword and looking at the blood on the ground, she couldn't help but gasp.

Didn't I stop this guy from killing people?

"Yes, really?"

Her eyes were fixed on Kurumi's identity. Just as the girl was about to charge forward again with the sword in her left hand, a familiar voice from behind made her pause.

"sister?"

Suddenly turning around, he saw that familiar figure and was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?"

Isn't this my line?

However, without waiting for Shiori to respond, Kurumi put the kitten on the ground and let it run away. She walked over and spoke with a smile.

"Ahhhh, so Miss Mana is Shiori-san's sister. No wonder I always thought you two looked so similar."

"Sister, please step back. This guy is dangerous!"

She dodged and stood in front of Shiori. Then, she waved her hand and unfolded the shield equipped on the other shoulder by CR-UNIT into a lightsaber, holding it in her hand. She stared at Kurumi with both hands, looking for any flaws in her.

"I've known each other for so long, but this is how I am in Miss Mana's eyes. I'm so sad."

Without showing any sign of sadness, Kurumi smiled at Mana, as well as Shiori and Kaguya who were blocked behind her. She did not continue to attack, but put away the Kokukotei, lifted her skirt slightly, and bowed lightly to the three of them.

"That's all for today. I'm having a great time, Shiori-san, Kaguya-san."

The shadow under his feet gradually became deeper, and then Kuang San's figure gradually sank into the shadow, and a pair of different-colored eyes quietly reflected the incoming sword light.

"Next time there's a chance, let's go out on a date together."

The second Kurumi suddenly appeared and blocked the lightsaber in Mana's hand, and then the two Kurumis disappeared from the eyes of the three people one after another.

"Then it's time for me to go."

Ignoring the look Manaso sent her, Kaguya nodded to Shiori and handed her a bag.

"This is?"

Taking the bag, Shizhi asked in confusion.

"It's a commemoration and gift for this date."

She winked at Shiori from a place where Mana and Fraxinus's micro-camera couldn't see, and then after nodding politely to Mana beside her, Kaguya picked up her things and left.

"Sister, were you dating that guy and this sister just now?"

After watching Kaguya leave and putting away the manifestation, Mana asked Shiori.

"Well, Mana, it's getting late. Do you want to come to my house for dinner?"

"Ah, Onee-sama, please don't ignore my question, Onee-sama!"

In the setting sun, the sisters' shadows gradually lengthened until they disappeared, and the park finally returned to its tranquility, with only the bloodstains on the ground quietly telling everything.

......

......

"Hey, Jiaye, why don't you quickly complete the mission in this world and then go to the next world?"

In the world of consciousness, Ge Jiuye, who was resting his head on Jiaye's legs and holding a tablet in his hand, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Jiaye who was reading a book, and suggested.

"If possible, I'd also like to complete the tasks in this world in the shortest possible time without releasing the constraints."

Without moving his eyes, he gently turned a page of the book in his hand and complained.

Lately, I've been missing Hong, Meilu Xing, and the others more and more. It's only been a few years, but is it because I'm still not used to the perspective and values ​​of the Immortals?

For the immortal species with a very long lifespan, a few years is probably only equivalent to a few seconds, or even less, in the eyes of humans.

It's not that the Immortals don't value time, but their perspectives are different. For example, they spend a day surfing the Internet, but in the eyes of humans, it is "a precious day passed/one day closer to the end of life." In the eyes of the Immortals, this does not make them feel anything.

This is a difference in concept, because the average human life is only 36500 days, and one day missing is one day less, while the life of the immortal species can have countless days, just like the rich do not care about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, while ordinary people need to carefully calculate even the spending of ten thousand dollars.

In other words, if Jiaye could cultivate and get used to the perspective of the immortal species, then he would naturally not miss Hong because he hadn't seen her for several years, because it was only "a few years".

"Come to think of it, why are you suddenly rushing me? Are you tired of this world?"

Jiaye asked in confusion.

"Can you please stop talking like I'm suicidal?"

After glaring at Jia Ye for using the wrong words, Ge Jiuye hummed twice, then gently lifted the tablet that had paused the video playback to cover half of his face, revealing only a pair of red eyes as bright as gems, reflecting Jia Ye's appearance as clearly as a mirror.

"There's no other reason, it's just that I feel like there's no fun in this world anymore."

"That's usually what someone who wants to commit suicide would say."

After complaining again, he clearly felt a dangerous light in Ge Jiuye's eyes, and Jia Ye quickly admitted his mistake.

"Just kidding, but there probably won't be any solution in the short term. After all, there isn't a single completed mission yet, and there's still one mission that hasn't been unlocked."

Branch mission 4 only gave a very short introduction, and no other content or information was given.

Excluding the constraint tasks and the main tasks, among the five tasks this time, branch task 2 to destroy the DEM company is probably the simplest.

In addition, branch mission 1 is closely related to the main mission and is both related to elves. The only difference is that the main mission is to help Shizhi seal the elves, while branch mission 1 is to learn and understand the application of angels from the elves.

Branch mission 3 is Cai Huo's mission, and judging from the situation, the conditions for completing the mission may not be defeating her, but something else.

But to be honest, Jia Ye felt that even if the constraints were removed, his chances of winning against Cai Huo would probably be only 40% to 60% at most.

Color disaster six.

After all, most of his abilities have been integrated, and now the integration is not complete, so they cannot be used. Moreover, Cai Huo's strength has not been fully demonstrated yet, so the basic information for calculation is not complete, and 40% to 60% is just a conservative estimate.

"What if I tell you there's a way for you to pause this world's progress, or even skip it?"

Ge Jiuye asked, his eyes fixed on Jiaye's flaming eyes.

"For now, I'm still worried about Shizhi's child."

With a somewhat helpless smile, Jia Ye said softly.

"But isn't there a way to speed up the process?"

Since he already knew that Shiori liked him, if it was possible, Jiaye didn't mind completing all the tasks as quickly as possible, then erasing everyone's memory and leaving.

In a sense, this can be considered an escape, but Jiaye is really not good at dealing with this kind of problem.

"Yes, I have."
