Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

If it weren't for the fact that Xuel was a kind person with good character and had provided considerable help to the village, she would never have spoken to him in a friendly manner about the matter of the shrine.

But perhaps the most important factor is that she cannot beat Xiuer.

Yanzui understood Xuer's determination. Seeing that the other party seemed to not give up until he got an answer, Yanzui Hassan could only sigh helplessly.

"Hey, have you looked for other Hassans about this matter?"

She still remembered the word "you" that the other person said.

It seems that the other party must have consulted other "Hassans" before finding him.

Yanzui didn't know which people had been contacted by the other party, perhaps she was the last one to be contacted.

She had no idea how much the others had said to this Xiuer.

But one thing that can be confirmed is that he was drunk.

The fact that the other party found him meant that no one else had revealed the true situation about the temple.

Among these, there was one thing that Yanzui was not wrong about, that is, Xuul had indeed looked for other "Hassans" before.

"Yes, I have already asked the individual Hassan the Cursed Arm before."

Xiuer responded calmly, his eyes fixed on Yanzui, as if he would not let the latter go easily.

"Really? Curse Wrist...how much did he tell you specifically?"

The drunk Hassan ignored the doll's gaze, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at the other person seriously.

"About that mausoleum."

"Answer: Intelligence is missing, no useful information can be retrieved, analysis progress has stalled, and 'analysis' cannot be completed."

Xiuer shook his head. His answer was both straightforward and a little obscure.

This puppet occasionally speaks words like this with special words in them.

Fortunately, this was not Yanzui's first conversation with Xiuer, and she had become somewhat accustomed to the other party's situation. At least they could continue a normal conversation.

But she could understand the meaning of some words.

"Ah, why do you have to find out about that temple?"

At this point, Yanzui Hassan also felt deeply helpless. Why did this puppet decide to explore the temple?

There was clearly nothing in there that could attract outsiders. The so-called "treasure" was nothing but "death."

Seeing that the other party's attitude had relaxed, Xiuer, who was clear that the other party was already somewhat moved, then gave his own reasons.

"Answer, because during my previous 'exploration', I sensed a certain dangerous aura. If I can't find it, I won't be able to let my guard down."

Are you really on guard again?

Looking at the cold-faced puppet in front of him, if the other party hadn't said that Yanzui was drunk, he really wouldn't have known that the puppet was always on guard.

etc! ! ?

Yanzui, who was originally complaining helplessly in his heart, immediately caught the key point in the other party's words.

"You said you'd already 'explored' this before?!"

She immediately leaned over and grabbed Xuer's shoulders. Although her strength was not strong, the latter could clearly sense her inner panic.

Seeing this, Xiuer raised his eyebrows slightly. Yanzui's behavior was not normal, and his panic also increased his doubts.

However, doubts aside, in order to obtain intelligence, a certain degree of transparency is a necessary process.

"Of course, when I first arrived at the mountain, I detected the temple on the top of the mountain and then began to explore it."

"What did you feel then?"

Before Xiuer could continue his sentence, Yanzui immediately interrupted.

Although she was not sure what the other party meant by "detection", she was certain of one thing, that is, Xuel had indeed carried out preliminary exploration of the temple.

And this "exploration" even took place when the other party first arrived in the mountains. You have to know that at that time, the people in the mountains had not yet decided to cooperate with this group of people.

They weren't even considered "partners," yet they actually explored a building that was extremely important to them, Hassan.

I guess that adult already knew about this!

The puppet didn't mind being interrupted. Since Yanzui asked, he didn't mind changing the answer temporarily.

"Answer: The detection result is a high risk factor."

This was how Xiuer felt before.

This is not an analysis based on "strength", it is simply a result of "sensory perception".

This is also the reason why Xiuer is so cautious.

As the saying goes, "fear" often comes from the "unknown".

"What exactly did you feel?"

Obviously, what Yanzui cared about was not his evaluation of the mausoleum, but the "feeling" he experienced when exploring the mausoleum.

"..."

The puppet was silent for a moment, and the key point grasped by Yanzui made the former start to think for a moment.

Of course, he didn't forget how he felt at that time. He was just curious why the other party cared about such a thing.

"The answer is, 'Death.'"

The afternoon sun was no longer as bright and warm as before. The slightly dim sunlight shone on the indifferent face of the doll. The mountain breeze blew gently, bringing a slight coolness to Xiuer and Yanzui who were present.

It is obviously not normal that a machine that does not need to breathe physiologically can produce a suffocating feeling like death.

It was this bizarre vision that left a deep impression on Xuer, and it was because of this that he decided to explore the temple.

The sense of crisis of "death" is something that Xuer has not felt for a long time since his first time traveling through time.

For the current Shul, the "unknown" is something he can hardly tolerate.

Only when he has all the information at hand can he feel at ease.

Of course, the same thing applies. If he really cannot find out the truth, he will wisely let go in time and stay away from the source of danger.

After all, as far as we can see now, this mausoleum is an original existence in the world's history. Even if they ignore it, it will not affect the subsequent singularity repair work.

"Is this so?"

Xiuer's answer was only two words, but just these two words allowed Yanzui to understand the situation at that time.

The latter withdrew his hand from his opponent's shoulder.

The urgency on his face disappeared, leaving only the calmness from the initial conversation.

"I understand..." As if he understood something, Yanzui Hassan immediately changed his previous attitude.

"I can tell you the truth, but before that, there's one thing I need to explain in advance."

"..."

Xiuer nodded. As long as he could get information, he didn't mind the other party saying more.

"Please do not mention the temple again. For us, Hassan, the 'Master' who resides deep within it is a person who cannot be encroached upon."

"That's why I acted the way I did just now. I hope you can understand."

This atmosphere made Xiuer a little curious, and after saying so much, it gave him the feeling of a disclaimer.

However, such a request was not a big deal. After quickly sorting out the situation, he agreed without hesitation.

"Ah."

……

----

……

"Hey boy, we meet again."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Ah, it's Mr. Bedivere and Mr. Arash!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was originally watching the "touching" scenes repeated between the master and the disciple, was attracted by the shouts coming from the side.

When he looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a silver-haired knight whom he had not seen for a long time - Bedivere, and another legendary hero - Arash.

The two of them came together, just like a pair of good friends.

Seeing this, the boy trotted over to the two of them and looked at them with curiosity. His expression clearly said, "I'm curious about why you two have such a good relationship."

The former had not seen the knight since the rescue operation ended in the morning.

Not only did he not know where the other person had gone, but few other people knew either.

Although the other party was only a temporary partner, Fujimaru Ritsuka obviously took this temporary partner to heart.

After all, given his previous gloomy temperament, it is hard to feel at ease with him.

But when it comes to temperament, the boy can see that Bedivere's gloomy temperament has been significantly reduced by half.

It was as if he had figured something out, and he was no longer as gloomy as before.

"Where have you been, Mr. Bedivere?"

"Actually, I didn't go anywhere. I was just wandering around the village this afternoon."

Having said that, the knight looked at Arash beside him.

"Then I happened to run into Lord Arash who was about to come to the square to help."

"is it?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka remained noncommittal about Bedivere's answer.

After all, he didn't go looking for the other party this afternoon, he just came to the square to slack off.

Thinking of this, he looked at Arash beside him again.

"Haha, that's true. I just happened to see him looking a little unhappy, so I wanted to help him out."

Arash had actually been planning to help with the food distribution this afternoon.

Moreover, due to the previous turmoil, the Holy City obviously had no spare time to take care of these mountain people who lived in seclusion in the mountains.

So Arash had plenty of time to come and help.

Although he missed the opportunity to come to the square to help in order to enlighten Bedivere, Arash obviously did not regret it.

The smile on his face is so contagious that you can't help but want to smile too.

Bedivere on the side also scratched his head in shame after hearing this.

“I can also prove that what they said is indeed true.”

At this time, Hassan, who had rested well, came to the few people in his original appearance.

The first thing she did when she got here was to tie up Arash and the other two to confirm it, which made the boy a little embarrassed.

After all, he doesn't distrust the other party, so he doesn't need another person to act as a certifier.

The fact that Baimao knew about this was purely coincidental.

After all, he is a person with the ability to clone himself, so most of the security tasks around the village are usually assigned to Hassan the Hundred Faces and Arash.

It was for this reason that she relied on her clone to discover the knight who had been wandering around the village doing nothing all afternoon.

Of course, this is not surveillance.

It was simply something she happened to see while doing her job.

Then she saw the scene where Arash, who was rushing to the newly built square in the village to help, met the knight who had been a little gloomy before.

"Well, sorry for making you worry."

"No, no, no, there's no need to apologize for such a small matter."

Faced with the knight's sudden apology, Fujimaru Ritsuka was confused and waved his hands quickly.

After all, in his opinion, caring about one's companions is the most normal thing.

"Haha, it's great that you can cheer up."
