Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

But compared to Xuer, what he cared about most were the two people who were suspected to be the Knights of the Holy City.

"You should be able to sense the movement just now, right?"

"Well, although we are defending the village, the vision caused by the Lion King's punishment is so spectacular that it is impossible for me not to notice it."

Having said this, the tall "Hassan" turned his gaze to the refugees at the end of the team.

It seems that he understood that these refugees were the refugees entrusted by the Chaldean group mentioned by Yanzui.

"Not them."

Yan Zui, who easily understood the other party's thoughts, immediately corrected him:

"I brought those people back, and they..." She looked at the people in Chaldea.

"They came to negotiate with us first. They should wait until the negotiations are over and we agree before sending the refugees here."

Although the way this group of people appeared was a bit strange and their sincerity was a bit strong, at least they respected the wishes of themselves and others.

Yanzui Hassan had noticed this as early as after negotiating with Leonardo da Vinci.

Of course, what she said just now was just Yanzui’s own opinion, but according to her way of thinking, it was not surprising that she would come up with this answer.

"Ahahaha, almost."

Leonardo da Vinci did not deny the claim that Hassan was drunk with cigarettes.

After all, the other party's guess was pretty close to the truth. They did place the refugees in a "safe area" and did choose to communicate with the mountain people first to obtain their consent.

"Yeah."

The tall "Hassan" nodded, and after making a preliminary estimate of the number of refugees, he turned and walked back.

He did not doubt the identities of Chaldea and others.

Since these people were brought back by Yanzui, he did not question the origins of this group of people out of trust in his companions.

"Let's go. We'll talk more once we get into the village."

Smoked Hassan followed closely behind. She turned around and called on the refugees to keep following, and then gave a casual reminder.

"Are you not going to continue the inquiry?"

And suddenly, Xiuer's cold voice suddenly appeared in her ears.

Yan Zui quickly turned around and saw that the "girl" who was just beside Da Vinci had moved to his side without him noticing! ?

"what?!"

He was able to get close to him without him noticing, which made Yan Zui, a hidden person, surprised at Xiuer's concealment ability.

The latter seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of the exclamation and repeated the previous words again, this time adding some nouns to make it easier to understand.

"Answer: Should Hassan the Hundred Faces and his companions be released here?"

"What happened to Baimao and the others?"

Xuul's voice was not loud, but the tall "Hassan" walking in front still heard the words.

He quickly stopped and looked sideways.

Because they are "Hassan" from the same village, both Yanzui and the tall "Hassan" are aware of Hassan Baimao's plan.

Baimao still hadn't returned until now, and the latter had already started to have doubts in his heart.

He even thought that the other party had met with an accident.

After all, sneaking into the palace of the Sun King is a very dangerous thing in itself, and on top of that, they even have to kidnap people. The consequences of failure are unimaginable.

And now, he actually learned the whereabouts of his companions from that "girl". How could he not care?

Besides, this is not an emergency, and he has plenty of time to find out the situation.

"Well, their actions were exposed."

"So what's going on with him now?"

Seeing Yanzui answering for the other party, the tall "Hassan" immediately asked the former.

"It's okay, at least he's still alive. Baimao and the others are probably being held somewhere now." Yanzui looked at Xiuer who was standing beside him.

"They are the ones who captured Baimao."

"Oh, after all, I saw them kidnap someone."

Seeing that the tall Hassan's attention was attracted by Yanzui, Da Vinci quickly joined in the conversation.

"We didn't know anything at the time. We just saw someone being kidnapped and wanted to save them, so we did it."

To avoid any misunderstanding, she quickly gave an explanation.

Although the entire process was done by Xiuer, the best strategy now is to let all staff share the burden of possible questions.

After all, she didn't know the other person's character. If she really went to question Xiuer, things might become troublesome because of Xiuer's character.

"Really? It seems Baimao's luck isn't very good."

Fortunately, this "Hassan" was reasonable. After learning the whole story, he just sighed helplessly.

"But in this land of doom, I haven't seen anyone so brave and courageous in a long time."

"It seems that you are indeed a group of 'good people' as Yan Zui said."

For some reason, although the other party was wearing a skull mask that completely covered his face, Xuel could "see" that the other party was smiling kindly at the moment.

"Hassan" chuckled softly, then turned around and continued walking towards the village.

Seeing that the other party no longer asked questions, Da Vinci secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, he's a good person to talk to."

"..."

Seeing this, Xiuer looked at Yanzui again, his golden eyes staring at the latter, making him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Let's talk about Baimao after we get to the village."

"I'm not sure what you mean by 'immediate release,' but they'll be released eventually anyway, so keeping them a little longer won't make any difference."

Yanzui talked as she walked. She really couldn't find a suitable way to get along with the "girl" next to her who was as indifferent as a doll.

"Bai Mao and the others are safe and sound, right?"

"……affim."

"Then there's no problem."

"learn."

Only then did Xiuer withdraw his gaze and silently retreat to Da Vinci's side.

Up to this point, the few of them remained silent until they reached the village.

……

----

……

In the mountain village.

In a simple house temporarily vacated for discussing matters.

When entering the village earlier, Yanzui Hassan went ahead to settle the refugees he brought back.

The other "Hassan" led the Chaldean group to the village and briefly explained the current situation to them.

Among them, the other party also introduced himself.

Of course, Xuer had given all the other party's information on the spot when they first met, but considering the situation at the time, he did not directly reveal the other party's name in front of everyone.

This tall and thin "Hassan" is the "Cursed-Arm Hassan" among all the Hassans in history. However, when checking his information, Xuer also discovered that compared with other Hassans, the era in which Cursed-Arm Hassan existed is also the current era of this singularity.

Although he is a "living person" of this era, he is a servant like the other Hassans.

Although this was a bit strange, Xiuer didn't care about it.

At this moment, he was in the temporarily vacated house with Leonardo da Vinci, with Hassan the Cursed Arm and Hassan the Smoky Drunken who had just returned after settling the refugees.

As for the others, they are actually all in the village, but the current work does not require everyone to be present.

Ritsuka Fujimaru took the opportunity to spend time with the villagers, while Bedivere and Mash were standing in an open space somewhere, admiring the night view in the mountains.

"Let's get started, Shul."

"Ah."

Following Da Vinci's gesture, Xiuer nodded, and his pair of golden inorganic eyes suddenly emitted a faint fluorescence.

hum-

At the same time, a golden vortex appeared out of thin air under the ceiling of this simple house, and quickly expanded under the surprised or indifferent eyes of the people around.

Puff-!

Then, one figure after another fell out and landed on the floor of the house with neither light nor heavy weight.

There were not many people but not few either, a total of ten people, all of whom were dressed in black robes and skull masks.

There is no doubt that this group of people are the "kidnappers" that Xuul had previously captured at the door of the temple, or in other words, Hassan the Hundred Faces and his accomplices.

“Guuuu!?”

Baimao was still unconscious when she was "poured" out, and she was suddenly awakened by the sudden impact after her body fell to the ground.

But except for her, the other nine people showed no signs of waking up, and were like dead pigs.

"here it is?!"

Because he had just woken up from the shock, the "Hassan" who was knocked unconscious by Xuer was not fully conscious yet.

"I remember I was still in the desert..."

She looked around in a daze.

Because of the angle, Hassan the Hundred Faces had her back to Xiuer and Da Vinci, so she only saw her companions at first glance.

"Cursed wrist, and smoke drunk?"

There was confusion and doubt in her voice, a sound of someone who had just woken up.

"Why are you here?"

Baimao covered his head, and his memory gradually returned as he regained consciousness.

"No, this is...?"

"This is East Village, welcome back, Baimao."

Zhuwan continued, his words filled with genuine gratitude.

After all, the safe return of companions is the best good news.

He smiled in his heart, then immediately looked seriously at the opposite side.

"It seems that what you two Excellencies said is indeed true. Baimao is truly lucky to have returned safely."

It's about Baimao kidnapping someone and then being captured by a passerby who took the initiative to save him.

Cursed Arm actually had no complaints. Although they had their own reasons for coming up with this strategy, "hardships" were not an excuse for them to do evil.

It is better to say that it is a blessing that the other party did not directly take Baimao's life when he was doing something heroic.

"..."

Xiuer remained silent, but he also agreed with Curse Wrist's words.

After all, if he hadn't considered consulting Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others first, he would have dealt with the other party long ago.

"Ok?"

Because Curse Arm was obviously talking to someone else, and when she regained consciousness, she also sensed the "breath" of a fourth person behind her.

Therefore, Baimao immediately turned around and wanted to see who Zhuwan was talking to.

Then, he saw a lady who looked very gentle and elegant, and a "girl" whom she could not sense.

When he saw the appearance of the "girl" clearly, the memory in his mind suddenly made her eyes widen and she stood up immediately.
