A journey into an infinite dimension

He squatted down, reached out and gently stroked the girl's head, looking at the girl who trembled under his action, and asked softly.

"Fujimaru....Fujimaru Ritsuka."

A faint mosquito-like sound came from the place where the girl buried her face. Although there was still a hint of fear in her tone, the panic and timidity in it had decreased a lot. Perhaps it was because she also realized that Hong was just joking with her.

"Hey, Jiaye, do you think this child would be better steamed or braised?"

Originally thinking that the crisis was over, Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to end her embarrassing mode, but Hong's next words made her feel that her life was threatened again.

Wuwuwu, she's such a cute girl, but the look she gave me just now was so scary, and her sudden appearance was also so scary. Now they're already discussing what to do with me, why am I so miserable?!

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka regretted deeply why he was so bored yesterday and had nothing to do after eating, so he went to take the adaptability test of the blood donation vehicle. If it were not for this, he would not have been deceived by that liar uncle to this weird place which was not sure whether it was the South Pole or the North Pole, and he would not have encountered this life-threatening situation where he could become a dish on someone else's table at any time.

If God gave Fujimaru Ritsuka a chance to go back to the past, she would definitely choose to go back to yesterday, knock herself unconscious, put herself in a sack and throw her home.

At this moment, she could only hope that the handsome boy with squinty eyes would not have such a strong taste.

"Coat it in honey and natto and fry it."

What kind of dark cuisine is this? ! !

Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely devastated. She would rather accept the girl's suggestion and be steamed or braised than be made into a dark dish! !

"Hehe, you are really funny."

Patting Ritsuka's head contentedly, Hong stood up and pulled up Ritsuka, who had completely given up resistance and was only thinking about how to change her fate from dark cuisine to normal cuisine, and kindly and friendly helped her brush off the dust on her body.

"I'm not hungry now, so I'll keep you as my food reserve. Remember to keep in good shape before I eat you. After all, I don't like you who are too fat or too thin."

"My name is Kisaragi Kayano, and she is Kisaragi Hong. We are also companions of Chaldea. I hope you will give us your guidance in the future."

Gaya pointed at himself and Kurenai, politely introduced himself to Ritsuka, and then left with her.

He had roughly guessed the identity of this girl. She should be the last genie in Chaldea.

The designated personnel have arrived, so the action should begin soon.

"Did I... successfully survive?"

Li Xiang stared blankly at the backs of the two people leaving, then reached out and pinched his cheek hard.

"It hurts! This isn't a dream, so does that mean I really have to live as a reserve food from now on?!"

Lixiang suddenly felt that his life seemed to have no meaning.

"Um, why are you standing alone in the corridor, Senior? Are you lost?"

Just when Li Xiang was considering whether to wait for others to turn her into a dish or to turn herself into a dish on her own initiative, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind her, like a ray of light shining into the abyss, dispelling all the haze in Li Xiang's heart.

"Who are you....?"

"Hello, Senior. My name is Mash Kyrielight."

The purple-haired girl's gentle smile is like the warm sunshine in spring, and the warmth it brings cannot be concealed by the heavy snow falling outside the window.

Chapter 6 Begins

"Are you interested in that girl?"

After returning to the dormitory, Jia Ye looked at Hong, who had just rested her head on his legs as soon as he sat down and curled up like a kitten. He smiled dotingly, reached out and picked up a book from the small cabinet beside the bed, and asked Hong.

"Gaya, haven't you noticed? Her fear of me is a little too much."

She leaned into Jiaye's arms and rubbed him gently, as if she wanted to leave her scent on him in this way. Hong looked up at him and said softly with a smile.

"It's clear she's not a timid person, but she reacted so violently to me just glaring at her. Aren't you curious about why?"

"Isn't it because you look so scary?"

Opening the novel, Jia Ye said half-jokingly.

"Jiaye, I didn't hear what you said just now?"

A slender hand quietly climbed up Jia Ye's cheek, and he said with a smile on his face.

"Can you say that again?"

"I was just reading from the novel."

The pain on his cheek was slowly transmitted to his sensory nerves. Driven by the desire to survive, Jia Ye closed the book without changing his expression and spoke seriously.

"Then please lend me this novel later."

Hong let go of his hand in annoyance and lay down again. One of her slender thighs, as white as jade, was accidentally exposed to the air from the gap in her kimono, all the way to the base of her thigh. Combined with her lying posture, she looked both lazy and seductive.

"Are you trying to say that the girl saw a part of your true nature?"

Lifting the quilt to block the beautiful spring light, Jia Ye said uncertainly.

"It's quite possible."

Hong nodded cutely, pulling the quilt up to cover her shoulders, leaving only her little head exposed.

"And it's the part that belongs to Atrak."

"Then she can still communicate with you. She must be much braver than the average person."

Jia Ye couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

"So, should we leave it alone and wait for the unknown developments, or should we dispose of that girl's memories? I was about to ask that, but you've probably already chosen the former."

"Interesting things should of course be left to develop on their own, but the unknown may also bring you the troubles and accidents you hate the most, so I choose to leave it to you to decide."

"You know what my answer will be."

Jiaye shrugged lightly.

"But I want to hear it from you."

Hong Jiao laughed repeatedly.

“That is: ‘Your Highness will is my will’.”

Jia Ye smiled helplessly.

Hong always shows her desire to conquer in all kinds of strange places. Perhaps only he, who has been with her since childhood, can get used to this.

Woo hum hum——woo hum hum——woo hum hum——

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly flashed red, indicating danger. At the same time, alarms, one longer and sharper than the last, suddenly rang out throughout Chaldea, causing the two people in the room to stop communicating and causing the rest of the members of Chaldea to look up at the ceiling.

[Announcement to all Chaldeans: All technicians and suitors, please gather in the control room immediately. Logistics personnel, please return to your respective posts immediately. Repeat————]

Olga Marie's serious, even solemn, voice echoed from the radio, and it finally died down after echoing three times in a row. However, the alarm showed no signs of stopping. Although it seemed to have been adjusted and was no longer so irritating, it continued to echo throughout Chaldea as if to alert someone.

"So, the unexpected seems to happen right away, although it probably has nothing to do with what we're talking about."

Jiaye let out a light breath, while Hong flipped the cup over and kicked the innocent bed hard in dissatisfaction.

"Damn it, I just got back and I have to go back again. If it weren't for the good food here, I would have torn this place down sooner or later."

"Okay, let's go see what's going on, and then we can go to the cafeteria and get something to eat when we get back."

After Hong had vented her anger, Jia Ye touched her little head and comforted her.

"No, I want to eat what Jiaye made."

Hong pulled on the corner of Jiaye's clothes coquettishly.

"Okay, there's really nothing I can do about you."

He stood up and helped Hong tidy up her clothes. Then Jia Ye picked up a plain silver ring on the desk beside him. The ring had no decorations on it and looked ordinary. He put it on the middle finger of his right hand. The size was a perfect match, and it was obvious that it belonged only to Jia Ye.

"Ah, does Jiaye think that he might just start taking action next?"

Hong happened to see this scene and asked in surprise.

"I hate accidents, so it's better to bring it just in case."

Jia Ye chuckled, then pressed the thumb, index finger and middle finger of his left hand on the ring at the same time and twisted it gently.

Click———

Accompanied by an imperceptible sound, countless silk threads emerged from the ring in the blink of an eye, and quickly wrapped around Jiaye's entire palm, eventually forming a black seamless glove.

"Hoohoohoo."

Seeing this, Hong covered her mouth and smiled softly, seeming to be happy and pleased.

"What's wrong? You look so happy."

After moving his gloved hands, Jia Ye smiled gently.

In fact, he knew why Hong was laughing, but that didn't stop him from teasing her.

However, every time he teased her, he always ended in failure, and this time was no exception.

"Because Jiaye is finally using a part of me again, I feel particularly excited when I think about my most precious thing being tightly attached to Jiaye's hand."

She stuck out her small tongue and licked her lips, then smiled charmingly.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

With a laugh, Jia Ye was the first to walk out of the dormitory.

Walking in the corridor leading to the control room, Jiaye found that many figures wearing Chaldea staff uniforms were running back and forth in the corridor in a hurry. Coupled with the alarm sound still surrounding his ears, there seemed to be a hint of anxiety and urgency in the atmosphere.

In this atmosphere, Jia Ye and Hong, two outliers with calm expressions and leisurely steps as if they were camping, seemed extremely abrupt. At least nine out of ten staff members passing by them would subconsciously look at them with strange eyes before hurriedly walking past.

In response, Jia Ye and Hong just smiled calmly and did not take their performance to heart. They still maintained their own pace and walked slowly to the control room.

The moment the door of the control room opened, the eyes of all the people present were focused on the two of them, showing a variety of expressions including disobedience, respect, jealousy, fear, solemnity, and calmness.

Oh, and there was also a look of fear, the source of which was——

Kurenai tilted her head and smiled slightly at Ritsuka, who was standing in the first sequence, causing her to let out a small whine.

"Now that everyone is here, I will tell you directly why I called you."

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with the two men's procrastination, Olga Marie didn't have the heart to reason with them at the moment. She just nodded at them, signaling them to return to the team quickly, and then spoke word by word in a tone that was as relaxed as possible but still looked extremely serious.

"It's named 'Singularity F', and its prototype is the historical space-time singularity in Fuyuki City in 2004. It just completed its expansion without any warning three minutes ago."

"This means that something has happened in that singularity that we are unaware of. Furthermore, this completely unknown change will cause us, the human race, to have less time left."

"I've already started the calculations on the 'Simulated Earth Environment Model - Chaldeas,' but no matter what the results are, we won't have any more time to prepare. We don't know if other unexpected events will arise. In other words, you might be forced to go to the battlefield without adequate preparation and training."

"But there's nothing we can do about it, because you are humanity's last line of defense. If you fail, humanity will completely disappear from history—"

"Director, the results are out!!"

Before Olga Marie could finish her words, a staff member's shout interrupted her and attracted everyone's attention.

Anyway, normally Olga Marie would have angrily let that staff member know the consequences of interrupting her, but now she was in no mood for such leisure.

"Say!"

"According to the calculation results of the 'Pseudo-Earth Environment Model Chaldeas', human history..."

Facing everyone's gaze, the male staff member did not feel nervous at all. There was only a cold and stiff expression on his ordinary face, which seemed to be crying and laughing.

"It will perish in three days."

quiet----

There was a deathly silence, except for the sound of the intelligent instruments running. The scene was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could hardly be heard, because many people subconsciously held their breath after hearing the result, including Olga Marie, all the staff and the suitors, as well as Hong and Jiaye.

Others might be thinking about humanity as a whole at this moment, but Jiaye was only thinking about his family.

Father, Zero————

He subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes. A scorching breath drifted in the air above the control room, but was quickly purified by the air purifier placed in the control room. No one noticed the whole process - except Hong who was sitting next to Jia Ye.

"Gaya..."

Reaching out and holding Jia Ye's right hand, Hong looked at him, her bright red eyes reflecting unstoppable worry and concern.

"I am fine."

Putting down his hand, Jia Ye gently held Hong's little hand. The touch was slightly cool and smooth, just like the fresh and cool breeze in the middle of the night, which soothed and comforted all the emotions in Jia Ye's heart.

Being anxious will not help. Only calmness can solve everything. So calm down....calm down...

Keeping persuading himself in his heart, Jiaye slowly adjusted his breathing, then raised his eyes and looked at Olga Marie standing in front of him.

"Everyone, immediately carry out final preparations and checks. In thirty minutes, all suited individuals must enter Singularity F through the Frame!"
