A journey into an infinite dimension

"Great! Shiori, let's go!"

"Slow down, don't pull me."

"Well, teacher, let's go!"

"Brother, I'm leaving first."

"Be careful on the road."

After watching the two people leave the office, Jia Ye withdrew his gaze, then walked to one of the sofas in the middle of the office, sat down, and raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"You've come all the way to the outer area, so I'm sure you're not just here to have a meal and then owe a bill. Please take a seat."

As Jia Ye finished speaking, a hole suddenly opened on the empty coffee table in front of him, and a set of tea sets and a pot of tea that was still steaming came out.

"Sure enough, no matter how many times I watch it, I still feel this scene is incredible."

Sitting across from Kaya with Kisara, Rentaro couldn't help but sigh as he watched the scene unfold before his eyes.

"The coffee table top is only this thick, where on earth did these things come from?"

What’s even more incredible is that this technology was completely developed by the guy sitting opposite me alone. This technology did not exist in the world before.

Just like his existence.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

After calmly choking Rentaro, Kaye picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and the two people opposite him, and gently pushed the tea in front of them.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"this......"

"that......"

Upon hearing this, Rentaro couldn't help but look at Kisara beside him, and both of them looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.

From an outsider's perspective, their behavior seemed to indicate that they really had something to do with Jia Ye, but that matter was a little difficult to talk about.

However, only the two of them knew that they really came here specifically to eat.

Although they sold themselves out while eating, they really had nothing else to do.

But they always feel that if they tell the truth, the folders in their hands may become twice as thick.

Although these commissions are just a way for the tsundere on the other side to help them, and the rewards after completion belong to them, it would be exhausting if the number is too large!

"Oh, by the way, I heard someone saw a helicopter take off from the outer area the night before last. Was that from your Chaldea?"

Finally, he thought of a reason and asked quickly.

"That's right, are you here to investigate this matter?"

Nodding, Jia Ye had no intention of denying it, nor did he mind telling the two people in front of him about it.

"I was hunting Leo and Gemini then."

"Oh, so that's how it is—Pfft!!!"

She successfully got over the topic. Just as Mu Geng breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of the tea in front of her, she suddenly realized what was happening and her hand shook accidentally, causing her to pour the entire cup of tea, which was not cold, into her mouth.

The burning sensation instantly invaded his entire mouth. Unable to bear it any longer, Kisara subconsciously turned around and sprayed Rentaro, who was also standing there in a daze, in the face.

“It’s so hot!!!”

Rentaro was caught off guard by being splashed with hot water in the face, and he jumped up immediately. His handsome face turned as red as a freshly cooked shrimp - because he was scalded.

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

"Really? You're already so old, but Ichihime and Enju are more mature than you."

Looking at Kisara who was coughing because of choking, and Rentaro who was dancing on the spot, Kaya couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Who do you think this is because of?!"

After finally calming down, Mu Geng exploded after hearing Jiaye's sarcastic remarks.

"No, compared to this, what did you just say? What did you go hunting?"

"Protocolata."

"what name?"

"Leo and Gemini."

"The two in Phase V?"

"It's the zodiac, for sure."

The two of them completed their communication with each other, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.

"..."

Then, having received his answer, Kisara fell silent.

"..."

Rentaro, who was listening and cooling off, also fell silent.

Suddenly, the only sound in the office was the faint sound of the air conditioner.

"what happened?"

After a while, Jia Ye looked at the two people who had suddenly become quiet in confusion, wondering what had happened to them all of a sudden.

""....monster.""

Looking at Kaya with an innocent face, after holding back for a long time, Kisara and Rentaro finally managed to utter two words.

Although they didn't know much about his strength, they knew he wasn't the type to brag. So, that meant he had really gone to hunt down the two Zodiacs. And seeing as he was sitting in front of them without any injuries, the outcome was either that he hadn't found the Zodiacs, or—

However, no matter which possibility it was, the fact that he dared to do it was enough for them to call him a monster.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Jiaye chuckled.

Chapter 122 [Transfiguration]

He felt bored for the first time in a long time, and for a moment he didn't know what he should do.

Even the option of 'chatting with Ge Jiuye' was eliminated by Jiaye after he discovered that she had fallen asleep.

Blinking, Jiaye suddenly understood what was happening.

After being busy for a long time and living with someone by your side, it’s a bit hard to get used to the sudden quietness around you.

Shaking his head with some self-mockery and helplessness, Jiaye thought about it and found that the only way for him to pass the time was to study the system.

"It just so happens that I got a lot of stuff before, let's go take a look."

After opening the [Storage] module of the system, Jia Ye used his mind to take out a pair of silver-white wireless headphones from it.

Infinite Headphones: C———It has the characteristics of absolutely no damage, no quality, no impact on movement, unlimited energy, etc. It contains all the BGMs in all dimensions and dimensions, and can play the most appropriate BGM according to the current situation, and can also be switched at will.

This is the system's introduction to this pair of headphones.

Jia Ye doesn't usually like listening to music, but he doesn't hate listening to music.

Except for the heavy metal rock and rap that his ears couldn't stand.

Because he had heard that music could enhance learning and memory abilities, he had listened to a lot of music that was said to be popular among modern young people at Zero's recommendation. However, he later discovered that the so-called enhanced memory ability was only for ordinary people, so he stopped listening.

However, thanks to that experience, he also remembered a lot of his favorite music and BGM.

""The Restraint of Two Persons""

As Jia Ye finished speaking, the 'Infinite Headphones' worn on his ears quietly rang out a familiar melody.

In an instant, it was as if he was in a grand and spacious, yet absolutely closed and soundproof concert hall. Surrounded by the top-level sound quality and the most perfect 3D surround sound effects, it only took a moment for Jia Ye to experience an auditory enjoyment that he had never experienced before.

【Servantらはいつも悩みながら】

[Setsuna’s Hope Exploration]

【White and  fun, protect the caesium scapula stupid stand à fun �

【きっときっと果てなく】

[The sky is high and the wind is flowing]

【The fluctuation of the moon, the melting of darkness】

【——————】

Immersed in the ultimate auditory enjoyment, Jia Ye slowly opened his eyes and made a decision secretly.

He gently took off the headphones and hung them around his neck, but did not turn off the music. Instead, he adjusted the volume to a suitable range. Then, Jiaye maintained this posture, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by music, while taking out another thing from the system.

Shapeshifter Card: C—Choose an item and give it life, wisdom, and human form. Loyalty cannot be guaranteed, so it is recommended to choose a commonly used item.

Although it is called the 'Transformation Card', it is actually not a card, but a ball of light that flashes with faint colorful light.

It was about the size of a palm, and the moment Jia Ye got it in his hand, he understood how to use it.

Looking at the ball of light in his hand, Jia Ye thought for a while, then suddenly took out a bracelet from the storage panel and placed it on the table, then put his hand on his face, and gently made a "take it off" gesture as if he was holding something.

Suddenly, a fox mask with a silver-white main body and red and gray patterns on it appeared in Jiaye's hand as if it had existed from the beginning.

It's very strange. Although it looks like a fox face painted by hand, one can involuntarily read the emotions contained in this expression, as if facing not a mask, but a living fox.

This is no longer something that can be described simply as 'lifelike'. It's as if it's truly alive, and it even gives people a feeling that it would be normal even if it changes to another expression in the next second.

"The Key of Changes" and "It's Hard to Hide My Feelings, and My Face is Covered with Emotions" are two of the props that Jiaye possesses.

"The Key of Transformation... I think it'll be useful again in the future. As for the mask, even though it's always in a restrained state, I haven't triggered its ability once in two years of wearing it. Perhaps it's just not compatible with me."

After thinking for a moment, Jia Ye put away the Key of Transformation again, leaving only the mask. Then he gently placed the ball of light in his hand on top of the mask, and watched the ball of light slowly merge into the mask.

Come to think of it, the word 'transformation' seems to be often used to describe the process of monsters transforming into human form.

Qin Hesheng, mask, transformation——Tsukumangshen monster-Menreiki?

At the same moment when the ball of light completely merged with the mask, Jia Ye suddenly thought of something.

Tsukumogami is a concept in Japanese monster legends. It refers to an object that has been left alone for 100 years, allowing it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, accumulate resentment, or feel the mysteries of Buddha nature, spiritual power, etc., and then gain a soul and turn into a monster.

Menreiki is a more famous monster among the many Tsukumogami legends.

Legend has it that Qin Hesheng made many outstanding masks in his life, each of which looked as if it had life, and he devoted all his energy to designing these masks.

According to legend, a soul will reside in a mask that is treated with care and love by its owner, and the soul will ask its owner to treat the mask with caution. Therefore, although Menreiki is a type of tsukumogami transformed from a mask, unlike the general tsukumogami that carry resentment, Menreiki does not carry resentment.

However, this is just a legend. Although the prototype of "It is difficult to hide the heart, and a hundred emotions cover the face" is indeed the mask made by Qin Hesheng, when the seven masks began to devour each other and finally became the current posture, the concept of its existence has gone against the original concept.

[My emotions are hard to hide, and my face is covered with a myriad of emotions: A~? ? ? ———Due to external interference, the transformation began early. Due to the special nature of the props, the evaluation may be improved after the transformation.

Time required for transformation: 168 hours, 59 minutes, 57 seconds

System prompt: The props cannot be stored during the transformation process. They will appear for a long time and must be worn to avoid errors in the transformation results.

The remaining time can be shortened by strengthening the system.

The system's prompt interface suddenly popped up, informing Jia Ye of the current condition of his mask.

168 hours, which is one week.

In other words, Jiaye has to keep wearing the mask for a whole week, and the mask cannot be hidden like before.

"......never mind."

His expression seemed a little depressed and entangled. After a while, Jia Ye sighed softly and turned on the system's [Enhancement] module.

The interface of the [Enhancement] module is in the form of a huge diamond-shaped crystal, and there are gaps of different shapes on the four corners of the diamond, which looks like they can be embedded with something.

Jiaye didn't think much about this peculiar interface. He just opened the prop options and selected the mask as the enhancement object.

[It's hard to hide my emotions, and my face is covered with all kinds of feelings——Required enhancement materials: Red=1500, Yellow=1000, Blue=2500, White=500

One enhancement will shorten the transformation time by 72 hours. The required materials to shorten the time to the extreme are: ——————】

Jia Ye did not read the data any further, but silently marked out a portion of the tens of thousands of materials in his inventory and piled them in.

In the past two years, emergency missions have appeared very frequently, ranging from a cursed child being bullied somewhere to someone wanting to take action against Chaldea.

Because there are no point rewards for sudden tasks, and most props can be sold not only to obtain two points, but also additional strengthening materials, so Jiaye has accumulated a lot of strengthening materials over the years.
