Open the door, there is another world

At this time, Chanae's message also came: "Apart from this, is there any other price?"

She felt that there was, because the word "devil" sounded very evil, which made her think of the existence of ghosts, so she felt that the price should not be that simple.

Nangong Nayue: "Of course there is more."

Kanae was certain in her heart that there were indeed other costs.

Asuna's message came again: "What's the price?"

She had a sense of absurdity and magic about these topics, because they were all about mythology. In her original understanding, mythology was all fake and was something everyone imagined, but now it had become real, and she also knew the people involved, and she could participate in such topics. It was like a dream, which made her feel like she was in a dream, and of course she was very interested in it.

Nangong Nayue said: "Stay guarding the prison barrier and never leave."

This was a bit confusing, so Li Qing added: "What it means is that Yuejiang's real body has always been in that prison barrier. What we see now is a projection of her real body. We have never seen her real body!"

"..."

...

184. Prison barrier! (Please subscribe!!)

Li Qing's words shocked everyone. They had never expected that the Nangong Nayue they had seen all along was not her real body but a projection.

"Is this still possible?" Yukinoshita Haruno was surprised.

Nangong Nayue: "That's it."

Li Qing also said: "This is magic!"

Magic is so magical that many incredible things can be achieved through it.

"Is there no way to get out?" Yukinoshita Yukino also asked.

Nangong Nayue said: "This is the content of the contract. The prison barrier can only exist if I am there. If I leave the prison barrier, it will disappear. Therefore, I can never leave there. The prison barrier cannot be destroyed. There are too many vicious criminals in it. If they come out, they will cause a lot of damage."

Asuna was curious: "Are you the cornerstone of the existence of that prison barrier?"

Li Qing said: "The prison barrier is her dream."

Nangong Nayue: "Just like he said, the prison barrier is my dream, it only exists when I sleep there."

"Dream?" This word shocked everyone again.

Li Qing said: "In the world of magic, dreams also have power."

Rias nodded, "Right!"

Kirisu Mafuyu, who had been peeking at the screen, also received a message: "How strange."

Li Qing smiled and said, "This is magic!"

Then he asked Nangong Nayue again: "Nayue, do you want to be freed?"

Nangong Nayue: "Do you have a solution?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "I can build another prison barrier and transfer all the prisoners in your prison barrier there. Then the other prisoners can be put into the new prison barrier, so that you can wake up from your dream."

Nangong Nayue was surprised: "Can you still do this?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "Sure!"

"My strength is actually quite good. I can easily build a prison that is definitely no worse than your prison barrier." Li Qing said again.

Nangong Nayue was a little tempted, but finally refused: "I can't break the contract. If I break the contract, the devil will take away my power and soul."

Erica was surprised: "Is there such a condition?"

Nangong Nayue: "This is the content of the contract. Both me and the devil must abide by it."

"Is it impossible to breach the contract?" Li Qing asked.

Nangong Nayue: "Unless you have a power stronger than the devil."

"How strong are the demons on your side?" Li Qing asked again.

Nangong Nayue replied: "I don't know. My power comes from the power of the devil. It is a byproduct of the contract. I don't know how much of the devil's power I occupy. There are many other witches in the world. The devils who signed contracts with them may be the same devil, so the power of the devil is unknown."

"It shouldn't be the same one." Li Qing said.

Nangong Nayue shook her head: "I don't know."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Let's see when the time comes."

Nangong Nayue nodded slightly. To be honest, she was a little looking forward to it. Although becoming a witch was her own choice, she still wanted to get rid of such a fate if she had the chance. After all, it was the path to freedom. However, she also knew that it was very difficult and might never be achieved, but this did not hinder her fantasy.

Aoba Asagi's message came: "Is it really like this? Is the Moon-chan we see now actually a projection?"

This was the first time she knew about this, so she was very shocked.

Himeragi Yukina was also shocked: "The prison barrier actually exists? And it exists in Teacher Nangong's dream? Isn't that an urban legend?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "As we all know, urban legends are real."

For example, every urban legend of Academy City can be traced back to its source, and the same is true for the urban legend of Gengami Island.

"...Okay." Himeragi Setsuna nodded, because she remembered the fourth true ancestor. The fourth true ancestor was also an urban legend, but he did exist.

The discussion in the chat group was still going on, but Li Qing had already run to Nangong Nayue's office. Nangong Nayue was a little slow to react. This guy suddenly appeared in front of her. Nangong Nayue's attention left her phone, and she looked at Li Qing curiously: "Why are you here?"

"Didn't I say I was here to help you settle that contract?" Li Qing said with a smile.

Nangong Nayue looked at him: "Are you sure?"

Li Qing shook his head: "I haven't seen it yet, so it's too early to say it's certain."

Nangong Nayue hummed, and then Li Qing continued: "Let's go and take a look at the prison barrier."

Nangong Nayue thought about it, and then nodded gently: "Okay!"

Then he took Li Qing to the prison barrier, and the two of them appeared silently in a room in the prison barrier. Li Qing saw Nangong Nayue's real body sitting on a chair with her head tilted and sleeping. Like the Nangong Nayue in front of him, she looked petite and cute.

Li Qing walked over to take a look and wanted to reach out and poke the little face full of collagen.

As a result, Nangong Nayue next to him grabbed his arm and looked at him expressionlessly: "What do you want to do?"

Li Qing laughed and took his hand back: "I just want to see if you feel anything after you fall asleep."

Nangong Nayue said unhappily: "Although I fell into a deep sleep, my consciousness is not asleep, and I am standing in front of you now, do you think I feel anything?"

Li Qing laughed, then looked at the walls around him and changed the subject: "These walls and the ground are all formed by your dreams. It's a powerful magic. It feels like the illusion is turning into reality. Is this also formed by the devil's contract?"

"That's right!" Nangong Nayue nodded.

Li Qing stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the demon is indeed very powerful."

Nangong Nayue nodded slightly. She was the one who had signed a contract with the devil, so she was of course very aware of how powerful the devil was.

"Can we go somewhere else?" Li Qing asked again.

Nangong Nayue said: "Other places are all kinds of prisons, and they hold extremely vicious criminals."

"How big is this place?" Li Qing asked curiously again.

Nangong Nayue thought for a moment and said, "The scope of dreams is infinite, but my ability to bear is limited, so its scope is also limited."

"How big is it now?" Li Qing asked again.

Nangong Nayue replied: "Xian Shen Island is this big."

Li Qing was surprised: "It's so big!"

Nangong Nayue nodded: "Dreams are all illusions, so many places are also illusions, they just look big."

"That's pretty impressive too." Li Qing said with a smile.

The two of them wandered around in the prison barrier for a while, then left and went to Nangong Nayue's house.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Nangong Nayue asked after coming back.

Li Qing touched his chin and said, "It's a powerful magic. It uses dreams to support such a large space, but it doesn't put much pressure on you. It also allows you to project your life outside. It's as if this magic doesn't require magic power, or it uses magic power to the extreme. That demon is really extraordinary!"

Nangong Nayue had never thought about these things, but now she felt that what Li Qing said made sense.

The prisoners in the prison barrier were all very powerful. She had encountered very strong resistance when she was arresting them. Each prisoner was only slightly weaker than her. And now she had put a lot of such people in the prison barrier, but she didn't feel any pressure from it. Now thinking about it, it was indeed very abnormal. Although the prison barrier was her dream, it seemed to have its own operating mode. She seemed to be just a gatekeeper and didn't know anything about the secrets in it.

Nangong Nayue was thinking about these things in her mind, and recalled what happened when the prison barrier was formed.

At that time, she had just become a witch. After signing a contract with the devil, her body fell asleep, and a barrier was created above her dream. She, as the master, could not interfere with the process at all. Now, it seems that the barrier was actually built by the devil, and it just used her dream as a carrier. She, as the master, was only a nominal master, and she didn't know the secret of the barrier at all. All of this was the devil's trick.

Li Qing's voice suddenly came: "Why did you lock those people up in the prison barrier? Aren't they extremely vicious? Why don't you just kill them directly?"

Nangong Nayue came back to her senses, then shook her head and said, "This is a customary thing."

Li Qing shook his head speechlessly, knowing that this was probably another matter of humanitarian concern. This was incomprehensible to Li Qing. Paying for one's life with one's life and repaying one's debt with money were the simplest and most acceptable values. A murderer who was guilty of a heinous crime was not sentenced to death because of humanitarian concern. This kind of thing was really disgusting. They only knew how to provide humanitarian concern for the murderer, but why not care for the victims whose family members and loved ones were killed?

It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"You don't agree with this?" Nangong Nayue noticed his disdain.

Li Qing nodded: "Eliminate all evil!"

Nangong Nayue remained silent and did not refute anything. It was useless for her to refute such a thing.

The abolitionists and supporters of the death penalty have been arguing for years, and she hasn't paid much attention to it, so she can't refute it at all.

So she didn't continue the topic, but changed the subject: "Do you now understand the strength of the demon I signed a contract with?"

"A little bit." Li Qing nodded.

According to his understanding, the demons in this world should have some kind of divine power and can do many things that ordinary people and even magicians who can cast magic find incredible. For example, Nangong Nayue's current prison barrier completely ignores the law of conservation of mass, or violates the law of conservation of mass as believed by ordinary magicians. In short, it is a high-level creature and it is not so easy to deal with it.

"Are you sure?" Nangong Nayue asked again.

Li Qing nodded: "A little bit."

He is also a high-level creature, so this demon cannot scare him.

Nangong Nayue hummed, and just as she was about to continue speaking, Li Qing said, "But just in case, we should wait a while to avoid alerting the enemy."

He did not plan to take action now, but planned to wait until he was fully prepared before taking action. Moreover, this would not take much time. His strength was improving every day, and it would not be long before he would leave this demon far behind. He was very confident about this.

"Okay." Nangong Nayue had no objection. This kind of thing really couldn't be rushed.

At this time, Astraluti came over and placed a cup of black tea in front of each person. Li Qing smiled and thanked him. He took a sip and the landline next to him rang. Nangong Nayue put down the black tea she had just picked up and put the landline microphone to her ear. A cold voice came over: "It's me."

Then there was a voice coming from the other side. Nangong Nayue's expression originally looked indifferent, but gradually that expression became ugly.

Finally, after hanging up the phone, there was even more silence.

Li Qing looked at her curiously: "What's wrong?"

Nangong Nayue stood up and said, "Someone important has gotten into trouble here. It could be a diplomatic incident!"

"Who is it?" Li Qing asked curiously.

Nangong Nayue replied: "A princess of a country!"

"Princess?" Li Qing was surprised.

Speaking of the princess, he thought of a person, the one named La Freya, and she indeed had an accident on the way to Genshin Island.

So Li Qing asked Nangong Nayue: "What princess is she? What's her name?"

"She is the first princess of the Kingdom of Aldikia. Her name is La Freya Lihawain."

Li Qing nodded. It was indeed her.

Then he recalled the plot in his mind. Freya was attacked on the airship on the way here. The person who attacked her was a person who was shaped by the magician. Thinking of this, Li Qing thought of another girl, a girl named Yeze Natsune. She was related to Freya and had been transformed by the magician. The person who did it was her uncle. Li Qing murmured to himself: "Artificial angel."

The place called Magician's Factory is carrying out an operation called Artificial Angel.

Freya is a good psychic, so they attacked Freya. Xia Yin also has the same bloodline, so Xia Yin was transformed.

"I know the clue." Li Qing then said to Nangong Nayue.

Nangong Nayue was originally planning to go out to look for clues, but Li Qing suddenly said that he had a clue, so Nangong Nayue stopped and asked: "You know?"

"Go to the magician's craft." Li Qing nodded.

Nangong Nayue thought of the existence of Magician Industries in her mind. This was a very high-quality company on Genshin Island, which brought a lot of tax revenue to the island. It was a star industry on the island and had also received the honor of Genshin Island's star enterprise. However, Li Qing now said that this company was related to the disappearance of a princess of a big country. If Nangong Nayue had not believed Li Qing, she would have arrested Li Qing as a sorcerer who spread rumors to confuse the public.

"Let's go!" Nangong said under the moon.
