A journey into an infinite dimension

Although he is cold to the outside world but gentle to the inside, it does not mean that he has a heart of stone.

Moreover, he doesn't need any other reasons to do things. He is just unhappy. Because he is unhappy, he wants to make trouble and vent. That's all.

"Then it's settled."

Xilin, who was originally disappointed, suddenly had a beautiful and proud smile on her face after hearing Jia Ye's last words.

"We will be companions from now on, so—"

Having said this, Xilin hesitated for a long time before slowly extending her right little finger towards Jiaye.

"Come....sign the contract."

My mom once said that when making an agreement, only a pinky promise counts, but I prefer the word 'contract', so that should count too, right?

No matter what, no matter it is a contract or an agreement, it will be valid as long as we make a promise!

Not knowing what was going on in Xilin's mind at the moment, which was a bit like a queen's arrogant thought, Jia Ye really wanted to ask her if she had overlooked some details in his words. However, seeing her glaring at him with a fierce look that said, "If you dare not make a pinky promise, I will kill you," and holding on to the idea that "she will forget it after the singularity is repaired," he finally said nothing and silently stretched out his left little finger to hook it with hers.

This seems to be the first time I have made a promise with someone by making a pinky promise.

Feeling the soft and warm touch on his fingers, Jia Ye couldn't help but think.

He is a person who values ​​his promises. Once he promises something, he will do it. Therefore, he usually does not make promises to others easily. This time, he just wants to give Xilin some help.

By the way, he also had something to complain about. He didn't want to be a magical girl, and there was no way he could make Xilin become a magical girl.

【Puff! 】

Not to mention Jia Ye who was making jokes in his mind and Ge Jiuye who accidentally burst out laughing, Xilin now felt that she had not been this happy in a long time.

With Jia Ye's help, she believed that she would be able to make those hypocritical and ugly adults in the world feel the pain she had felt and make them pay the price!

The first thing she needs to do is to restore her strength.

"We are companions now. What's your name? My name is Xilin."

I just asked for my companion's name by the way, it was really just a coincidence.

"Ruyue Jiaye, Ruyue is the surname, Jiaye is the given name."

Probably not many people in Siberia knew the story of "Princess Kaguya", so Jiaye didn't need to emphasize it specifically, which made him feel at ease.

"Kiragi...Kaya?"

Xilin always felt that she seemed to have heard the pronunciation of "Kaguya" somewhere before.

"Kaguya...Kaguya...Kaguya-hime!"

Boom!

Looking at the alloy floor with a dark face where he had accidentally stepped on a shoe print, Jia Ye now had the urge to cover his face.

So in this world, "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" has become so widely circulated?

"What was that sound just now?"

Startled by the sudden noise, Xilin looked around vigilantly like a kitten with its fur standing on end, not noticing that Jiaye's face had turned as black as charcoal.

"Maybe a polar bear got in. Don't worry about it, Xilin, just repeat after me."

After saying this perfunctorily, Jia Ye took a deep breath, then squatted down and looked Xilin in the eye, and spoke to her seriously, word by word.

"It's 'Kaguya', not 'Kaguya-hime', Kaguya."

Although the pronunciation is basically the same, at least don't add '姬 (Hime)'.

"Kaguya Hime?"

Xilin tilted her head in a cute way. She didn't know why Jiaye was suddenly so excited, but she still read it out loud.

"There's no 'Ji', it's 'Gaya'."

Jiaye had given up on correcting whether the Chinese characters were correct or not. Since the pronunciation was the same anyway, he would just listen to it as his own name.

"But isn't Kaguya a complete name?"

"Ji means princess, it's a title."

"So it's Kaguya?"

"How about you try to pronounce it less softly?"

"why?"

"Because I'm a boy."

"KaGuYa?" (stiff)

"No, don't be so stiff...Kaguya."

"You're such a bother....KaGuya."

"Softer?"

"kaguya."

"Why not call me brother?"

“...You wish!”

"Okay, Kaguya is Kaguya, it doesn't sound any different anyway... Yeah."

"Now that I've made my decision, let's go. I need to go and recover my strength."

"Don't run, be careful not to fall."

"I know, no need to bother—meow!"

"I told you to be careful, does it hurt anywhere?"

"It...it doesn't hurt. I'm the queen!"

"Yes Yes."

Chapter 55: Similar yet different worlds

At midnight on February 1, 2000, all 322 researchers and security personnel at the Babylon Laboratory in Siberia, belonging to the Tianming Organization, disappeared overnight without any warning.

According to the images and data uploaded to the Tianming headquarters by the surveillance equipment, the researchers all had the same look of fear before they disappeared out of thin air, as if they had seen something terrible. However, apart from some white light, the camera did not capture anything.

Afterwards, Bishop Otto personally ordered a thorough investigation into this mysterious incident. Among the personnel dispatched were an S-class Valkyrie, a being with combat power comparable to that of an S-class Valkyrie, and several A-class Valkyries with rich combat experience.

Here, the prologue of what someone named the "Siberian Snowfield-Babylon Singularity" was officially kicked off.

............

At noon on February 2, 2000, above the Mediterranean Sea, in the floating island group of the Destiny headquarters - the first airport.

"Do you really need to dress like this for a photoshoot?"

Theresa Apokalis, one of the few S-class Valkyries destined to be born, was holding a little girl in her arms. She was wearing an oriental-style dress and grinned slightly, saying with some embarrassment.

"Well, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, Kiana likes your clothes too."

Siegfried Kaslana held a camera in his hand and pointed it at the two of them. After hearing what Theresa said, he immediately smiled and comforted her.

"Hehehe~"

As if reacting to Siegfried's words, the tiny Kiana Kaslana stretched out her tiny hand and stroked Theresa's cheek, letting out a sweet laugh like a silver bell.

"Since Kiana likes it..."

Looking at little Kiana's smiling face with a doting smile, Theresa changed her mindset so that she could adapt more quickly to this outfit that she had rarely worn in the past.

"So, are you ready? Let's shoot."

Seeing this, Siegfried focused the camera lens on the two of them and warned them at the same time.

"3...2...1...eggplant."

Click————

With the opening and closing of the shutter, two brilliant smiles were forever frozen in the photo.

"...Huh, we're finally done filming."

Sitting on a bench for people to rest, Theresa looked at Siegfried and little Kiana, father and daughter, playing on the grass, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The child is really lively. He is still full of energy after playing for a whole morning.

Looking up at the blue sky that seemed to be within reach, Theresa couldn't help but think.

Am I really getting old... No, no, as long as I don't admit defeat, Theresa will always be the twelve-year-old cutest girl in the world, and she won't get old at all!

Almost falling into the trap of age, Theresa quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the dangerous thought.

"Thank you for your hard work, Theresa."

A gentle voice came along with a warm touch on her head. Theresa stopped her meaningless movements, opened her eyes, and turned to look at her side.

"Thank you for coming with us to take Kiana's artistic photos. Kiana really likes you."

Cecilia Shaniat, dressed in a plain white dress, sat beside Theresa and gently stroked her hair.

"It's okay, it's not hard at all."

With a slight smile, Theresa did not reject Cecilia's action, but instead squinted her eyes comfortably.

"I hope you can recover soon, Cecilia."

"Thank you for your connection, Theresa... Oh, right."

With a gentle smile, Cecilia seemed to suddenly remember something and lightly tapped her palm.

"Ok?"

"Don't forget to come to my house for dinner next Saturday. Siegfried has learned a new dish."

Gently stroking her cheek, Cecilia smiled happily and said something that shocked Theresa.

"Eat, eat, no need!"

She waved her hands repeatedly to refuse. Involuntarily, Theresa recalled the dish Siegfried had made last time. No one would doubt that dish if she said it was charcoal!

"Is Cecilia able to eat this out of love, or is she simply a taste idiot?"

Looking at Cecilia's profile as she smiled and looked ahead, Theresa suddenly felt that she seemed to be one step closer to completely understanding her friend.

However, it is really peaceful. I wish this kind of life could last forever.

Looking at little Kiana who ran into Siegfried's arms, was held by him, and then pulled the corners of his mouth with both hands, with a smile that never disappeared from beginning to end, Theresa sighed in her heart as if she was moved.

"Theresa~"

As if noticing Theresa's gaze, little Kiana waved happily at her and called her name in a baby voice.

"Hehe... huh?"

Theresa also waved at her, indicating that she saw it, and then a holographic projection suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

"Is this... an urgent order issued by the bishop himself?"

......

At the same time, at a military base in Arizona, USA.

An extremely dangerous-looking mecha has deployed all its weapons. The ferocious missile heads are quietly dormant in the wing-shaped weapon arsenal. The light blades that constantly twist the air emit terrifying energy. There are also mini-convergence turrets and half-human-high electromagnetic rifles all over its body.

This is a terrifying weapon that was designed for war. If it were put on the battlefield, it would instantly become the enemy's nightmare. It can be called a battlefield meat grinder.

However, before such a hideous weapon of war, stood a gentle and elegant brown-haired adult man.

He wore black-framed glasses, a dark blue scarf around his neck, a white turtleneck sweater and trousers, a gray long coat, and black full-coverage gloves on his hands. Just from this look, he looked like a university professor, the type who was particularly popular with students.

Although he looked like a weak scholar, he did not show any emotion at all when facing the war weapon standing opposite him, as if what he saw was just a model that posed no threat at all.

"let's start."

He raised his hand calmly, and with the man's command, the mecha lowered its body slightly under the control of the control system, and its feet scraped the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Then, its nearly five-meter-long body suddenly turned into a shadow and dissipated on the spot.

Several missiles broke through the dust barrier, carrying long trails and flying straight towards the man at a terrifying subsonic speed. They suddenly dispersed halfway, turning from the front to all directions, cutting off all the man's retreat routes except behind him. At the same time, the gap behind was filled by the mecha body that appeared as if it had teleported.

The lightsaber in his hand slashed down at the man mercilessly, and at the same time the outer shell of his leg opened, exposing several machine guns to the air, and then fired at the same time under the control of the system.

Facing such an attack, not to mention an adult man, even a tank or a tank-level Honkai beast would be torn into ashes in an instant.
