Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Seeing Sanzang's confused look, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was helped up, seemed to be embarrassed because of misunderstanding.

“That’s…”

The boy scratched his face.

"Because we all know Shul's personality, we're worried that she might do something offensive when she brings you 'here,' so I wanted to apologize in advance and hope you'll forgive me..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained his reasons with a blushing face, and this expression made Da Vinci behind him laugh.

“Puff, fu…”

The genius finally chose to cover her mouth and laugh secretly. Fortunately, the noises around her were loud enough to cover up her laughter and prevent the boy from becoming more embarrassed.

"So that's it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's explanation successfully dispelled Sanzang's doubts, and the latter patted his chest and sighed.

"I was so scared, I thought something had happened."

She could understand the other party's behavior of admitting mistakes for his companions. After all, she herself often did this on her own initiative to admit mistakes for her apprentice in the past.

"But that Shuul didn't do anything to me, but if you want to say that it was an offense strictly speaking..."

She touched her chin, and the expression on her face seemed as if she was carefully recalling something.

"The only thing she did was drag me away without saying anything."

Although he was listing Xiuer's impolite behavior, the expression on Sanzang's face made it clear to anyone with a discerning eye that the other party did not take the matter to heart.

"But I don't mind. Besides, she explained the reason before dragging me along."

"From this point, we can see that her personality is somewhat "unique."

Whether it was the unique way of speaking or the cold face without any emotion, it was enough to make a deep impression on Sanzang, who had only met Xiuer once.

"Is that so? I'm glad you don't mind."

Seeing that the other party really didn't mind Shuul, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally calmed down.

He let out a long sigh, and his expression returned to normal.

"But speaking of which, judging from your handwriting, did that Xiuer often get into trouble in the past?"

After all, for this young man to be so "experienced" in meeting and apologizing, he must have developed this habit after experiencing countless similar things.

This made Sanzang recall a certain "person" in his memory again.

"If I want to cause trouble, it's not that bad..."

As he said this, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at his companion beside him.

"It's simply that we've experienced Shul's somewhat 'bad' way of interacting with others."

Speaking of this, the boy couldn't help but sigh when he recalled the scene when he first met Xiuer.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Mr. Tawarota is distributing food in the center of the square. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to join you right now."

While the few people were talking, the villagers in the square also got enough food to fill their stomachs as time passed, and returned home contentedly.

The refugees who had just arrived here today even thought that this was a favor specially arranged by the "angel" who saved them.

Although from a certain perspective, there is not much difference.

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ratsu looked at the square where the number of people had obviously decreased a lot, and there was already a large area large enough for them to enter.

There were still about thirty villagers queuing up. Seeing that the rice wholesale was about to come to an end, the young man prepared to lead Sanzang to reunite with his apprentice.

"Speaking of which, where is Xiuer? Why is she gone again?"

After chatting for such a long time, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally realized that the person was clearly brought back by Shul, so how did he become brought in by Mr. Cursed Arm?

What about Shul?

He looked at Hassan the Cursed, who had been silent from the moment before.

It was obvious that he would rather ask about the curse wrist that took over Sanzang than Sanzang.

"Regarding this, Lord Xiuer seems to have other things to do, so he agreed to let me take over."

This time, even Curse Wrist didn't know where Xuer had gone.

"That's it."

"In that case, there's nothing we can do."

The boy changed the subject and no longer cared about the puppet's movements.

After all, as mentioned before, all of Xuer's actions have some existing purpose.

He believed that all the other party's actions were planned, and he was not worried that he would encounter any unavoidable danger.

This idea is naturally also what Da Vinci and Mashu think.

They were also completely confident that Shul could act alone.

This is the sense of complete peace of mind that Xiuer brought to the few people through his own power.

"Come on, let's take you to meet up with Mr. Tawaratouta first."

Speaking of this, the food distribution activity in the square has come to an end.

After the last person happily left with a bag full of rice, Bai Mao recalled his clones and found a quiet place around the square to rest.

After finishing all this, Tawara Tota began to leisurely observe his surroundings to see if there were any villagers he had missed.

It was this action that allowed him to immediately spot the group of people standing at the edge of the square.

Tawara Tota knew these people; they were none other than Shuul's companions, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his companions.

But among the crowd, he saw a figure that surprised him a little.

"Eh?"

He immediately rubbed his eyes and stood up on the spot. His toned muscles showed a very healthy complexion under the sunlight.

"master!?"

……

----

……

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were chatting with Sanzang, a puppet acting alone also arrived at his destination.

"what?!"

Yanzui Hassan looked at Xiuer in front of her with surprise, and her tone was full of uncontrollable astonishment.

The reason why she lost her composure was exactly what Xiuer said to her after he came to see her.

"You suddenly came to me just to enter the spirit temple???"

"affim."

Faced with Yan Zui's somewhat inappropriate questioning, Xiuer didn't care about the other party's attitude, but just answered coldly in his usual indifferent tone.

Yes, the purpose of Xuer's visit to Yanzui was to ask about the situation of the temple on the mountaintop.

Although people here call that building a mausoleum.

Because Xuer didn't get the answer he wanted from Curse Wrist before, he turned his attention to Yanzui.

After all, directly using the Whispering Chapter to detect the situation seems to trigger a certain "mechanism", making him face the abnormal "sense of death".

This situation undoubtedly made Xiuer, who always put safety first, feel strongly alert.

Since the "shortcut" could not be effective safely, he could only use the "ancient method".

For safety reasons, this puppet who follows efficient practices had no choice but to ask someone for advice.

Although his original intention of coming here was just to resettle refugees, after seeing the strangeness of the temple, he wanted to find out more.

However, if safety cannot be confirmed, Xuer will choose to let go in time.

"Oh, sorry, the situation is a bit special, let me sort it out."

"Ah."

Xiuer could see that Yanzui was obviously panicking just now.

This performance is almost the same as the previous curse wrist.

It is hard not to think of the connection between the mausoleum on the mountain and these "Hassans".

It is also because of this that the puppet is able to capture certain "key information" from it.

"I do know about the situation of that mausoleum, but there is one thing I need to confirm..."

After calming down a bit, Yan Zui slowly said:

"what do you want to do?"

Just as Xuer thought, the mausoleum was a building of extraordinary significance to Yanzui, or to all "Hassans".

Not to mention the drunkenness from cigarettes and curses, if you ask any generation of "Hassan" to come, they will have varying degrees of horror or fear about the mausoleum.

"..."

Xiuer did not answer immediately. He could hear the vigilance in the other party's words.

This "Hassan" was just like the Curse Wrist, and did not want him to explore the temple too much.

But so what?

Whether to continue the exploration is up to the puppet to decide, and these people just need to provide information.

"Answer, I want to find out the 'secret'."

……

Chapter 57: Secret Revealed

“There are no secrets in there.”

However, in response to Xiuer's answer, Yanzui, who was originally a little panicked, shook his head.

Her expression suddenly became serious, and her sharp eyes shot straight at the doll through the hole in the mask.

"There is only endless 'death'."

"..."

Xiuer blinked, feeling a little confused by this cryptic reply.

A pair of inorganic eyes stared deeply at the "Hassan" in front of him who was obviously mentally unstable.

Facing the doll's gaze, Yanzui did feel a gradually rising pressure, but at the current level, it was not enough to break her decision.

Seeing this, Xiuer stopped staring silently and slowly said:

"Inquiry, why are you running away?"

"Eh?"

The sudden words of the person in front of him made Yanzui Hassan slightly stunned.

But Xuul ignored the stunned Hassan and continued to express his doubts.

"Why are you, Hassan, so afraid of that shrine?"

"What's inside that sacred temple?

"What makes you so determined to stop me from exploring?"

The puppet's series of questions made Yanzui Hassan a little confused, but at the same time, she also felt the puppet's "stubbornness".

This persistence in getting to the bottom of things made her feel difficult.

If it were someone else, Yanzui would have used his own strength to persuade people to retreat.

After all, not everyone can see what exists in that sacred temple.
