A journey into an infinite dimension

Until he learned that from messages from Ais and Alice.

[Ge Jiuye, why is this happening? ]

Ye Jian asked Ge Jiuye in his consciousness in a daze.

[How should I put it? It can be considered a natural talent brought by your soul.]

Sighing secretly, Ge Jiuye said calmly.

Being too talented is also a problem.

It was clearly the puppet manipulation technique that he had learned before learning telekinesis, but it turned out to be a physical instinct.

But now is not the time to let Xiaoye know the truth...

【All right. 】

This is the only possibility.

Ye Jian thought helplessly.

It seems that I can know everything, but in the end I can't even see through myself. It's so helpless.

"You really have never touched a doll before?"

Alice quietly activated the magic that detected lies and asked Yami as if to confirm.

"Yes."

He noticed this, but Ye Jian didn't point it out.

A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. As long as you can't read my mind, there will be no problem.

This is the truth, right?

Looking at the results of the magic, Alice nodded.

She didn't think a human child without any special powers could hide her magic.

So, he really didn't lie.

His unconscious movements and closeness to the dolls can perhaps only be attributed to talent.

If that's the case——

"Welcome, I'm Alice Margatroid, Aisi's sister."

A few thoughts flashed through her mind, but Alice did not show it and just spoke calmly.

Chapter 389: The title of the chapter has died, waiting for resurrection

"Sister Alice, Sister Aisi, goodbye."

"B-Bye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye, see you Xiaoye."

"See you."

They stood at the door and watched Yami, Marisa and Reimu leave until their backs disappeared from their sight. Only then did Ais and Alice close the door and walk back helplessly.

"What are your thoughts, Alice?"

Sitting on the sofa, Ais asked Alice with a smile.

"They are all well-mannered children. Be careful not to teach them bad things in the future."

Alice spoke calmly as she cleared the teacups on the table.

"Why do you say it as if I'm a negative example? No, that's not what I wanted to ask."

Ai Si said with a teasing laugh after making a casual remark.

"I guess you've already confirmed Xiao Yejian's talent. Are you thinking of taking him as a disciple?"

“It’s just an idea.”

Knowing that her sister understood her better than she did, Alice simply spoke out.

"It's only the first day we've known each other, so I don't know anything about him yet. So my thoughts are just thoughts."

"Anyway, as long as his talent is high enough, you won't care about other things, Alice."

Ai Si said with a smile.

"How about testing his actual talent tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Alice shook her head.

"It's too early. Let's observe for a while."

"Aren't you afraid of someone else getting there first? He's also quite talented in other areas, like magic. Those aren't just areas where you, Alice, excel."

"..."

"It's better to act than to be moved~"

"Aisi, are you optimistic about him?"

"Yes, because he is very interesting."

"So, do you want me to take him in as my apprentice first, so that you have an excuse to become his teacher 'incidentally'?"

"No, I'm not good at being a teacher."

"Didn't you say you had a disciple in the human world?"

"I've only taught for a short while, and we haven't been together for so many years. I'm not a qualified teacher."

"....Talk about it later. Come and help me cook."

"Good~"

......

......

After sending Reimu and Marisa home one after another, Ye Jian quickly returned to the Lost Bamboo Forest.

It is now dusk when the sun sets. The blue sky is dyed red by the colors of sunset, and the calls of returning birds seem to carry a hint of lingering loneliness and desolation.

Turning the moon into a bracelet and wearing it on his wrist, Ye Jian, who was standing alone outside the bamboo forest, raised his eyes slightly to look at the crimson sky above his head. His eyes, swaying with flames, seemed to be dyed with the same color.

【Want to go and have a look?】

The voice that he had long been familiar with in his soul quietly sounded in his consciousness. Ye Jian withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Even if I can't do anything, I can still provide information to Sister Yonglin and Sister Di.

The bracelet silently split into a long sword. Ye Jian stepped on it and, driven by Yue, flew quickly towards a certain direction in the bamboo forest.

At dusk, many rabbits and other creatures living in the bamboo forest had finished their day's activities and returned to their nests to eat and rest. Therefore, Ye Jian did not encounter any creatures along the way.

Although the bamboo forest is large and it is easy to get lost, for Ye Jian, getting lost is the least likely thing to happen to him.

Combined with Yue's speed, it only took a short time for Ye Jian to reach the location where Yonglin had set up the barrier.

"?!"

The barrier and the darkness inside it appeared in Ye Jian's eyes at the same time. The large amount of information made him pause.

bump! ! !

And just as Ye Jian arrived, a slender shadow suddenly rushed towards him from the deep darkness inside the barrier, but it hit the invisible barrier heavily halfway, making a heavy sound.

There wasn't even a slight fluctuation in the barrier, but the shadow suddenly shattered into countless pieces of flesh and blood due to the rebound of the powerful force.

【Ki-La-Ro——Ou-To-Mo-Si-Do】

A distorted roar that was meaningless and unacceptable to humans suddenly reached Ye Jian's ears, but before it could affect him, it was blocked and digested by an invisible barrier in his soul.

Ye Jian, without any feeling, looked at the wriggling, blasphemous thing in the darkness, and his eyes had turned cold without him noticing.

It's not the rational coldness that comes from a state of synchronized thinking, but the ruthlessness and coldness that completely lacks any emotion and regards everything within sight as a mortal enemy.

Up to now, no one has ever seen Ye Jian like this, and he has never wanted to actively kill a being like he does now.

Click————

With a slight sound, the bracelet on Ye Jian's wrist suddenly split and reorganized into several long swords. The tip of each sword was aimed at the fatal "line" that Ye Jian saw in his eyes after ignoring the existence of the barrier.

Rare, but real.

Since it exists, let’s go——

[Calm down, Xiaoye, don't let your anger get the better of you.]

Just before Ye Jian was about to take action, Ge Jiuye suddenly stopped him.

[If you can't solve the problem in one go, taking action rashly will only make it adapt to you.]

There are probably only a few people in the world who can persuade Ye Jian who has fallen into this state.

Fortunately, Ge Jiuye is one of them.

[...Is there no way to solve it now? ]

He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, as if to expel the anger in his heart, and asked Ye Jian, who had barely calmed down.

"You know very well, Xiaoye, that the only one who can truly inflict effective damage on this alien god is you, who can see points and lines. Attacks from others will only make it stronger."

Leaning back in his chair, Ge Jiuye responded softly.

Don't worry, as long as no one brings it nutrients, it will take many years for it to grow on its own. So as long as no one gets close to it, it won't pose a threat in the short term.

"The hidden danger planted on your sister can be resolved by severing the thread, so instead of venting your anger here, it's better to return and report this matter as soon as possible."

In the morning, when Di and Yonglin discovered what happened here, as the first discoverer, a hidden danger like a time bomb had been buried in Di's body.

Its function is to gradually erode the host's sanity and eventually turn the host into a puppet - this is why Ye Jian can't control his anger.

Family is his absolute Achilles' heel.

[Ge Jiuye, tell me, if I let "Him" parasitize my body, and then make it immune by recognizing "Him" as filth, can I kill "Him" completely?]

After listening to Ge Jiuye's advice and reading the information about the thing inside the barrier again, Ye Jian suddenly had an idea.

If possible, he didn't want to let the identified threat exist for too long.

Because that may cause accidents and trouble.

For some reason, he hated both of these things.

[...Why would you gamble with your own safety on something that will be resolved sooner or later?]

Ge Jiuye really didn't know what to say.

Although this method is indeed feasible, why do you want to use it?

So, it can be done, right?

Ye Jian suddenly laughed.

[...Although his strength has been completely wiped out, his qualities and character are still there. If you want to do this, then you, who are still weak, will inevitably engage in a tug-of-war with him.]

Knowing that he couldn't easily change Ye Jian's decision, Ge Jiuye had to try hard to make Ye Jian give up this idea.

His adaptability is at the same 'absolute' level as yours. Although yours is deeper, this approach will only result in your absolute immunity to him. He will absolutely adapt to your immunity; you will absolutely be immune to his adaptation, and thus to him. But he will absolutely adapt to your immunity to his adaptation—the ultimate result is basically a long struggle, in which you will win by suppressing him with the depth of your characteristics.

[Although this seems like a sure win, it still takes time anyway. Rather than doing that, it's better to leave Him here until you're able to completely kill Him.]

Just as Ge Jiuye said, both require sufficient time to eliminate the threat, but leaving it alone and eliminating it when the time is right is the same as taking the initiative to confront the threat and eventually wipe it out. Both are sure-fire ways to win, and any normal person would know which one to choose.

[But if left alone, there's no guarantee of an accident, like a creature accidentally entering here and becoming parasitic.]

But Ye Jian also has his own considerations.

It is precisely because he can see the possibilities of the future through observations of future states that he can determine the existence of accidents.

No matter how low the probability of occurrence is, it still exists.

Although he can take the initiative to prevent the factors that may make the possibility come true, Ye Jian cannot put all his energy into this.

Otherwise, his growth rate would inevitably slow down, and the time it takes to achieve the result might be longer than the time it takes to be parasitized by this alien god and become immune to it.
