The moment he pressed the send button, raging red lightning appeared in Ryunosuke Uyu's vision. They crisscrossed and roared, seeming to want to tear him apart. However, this scene could not last long before it was darkened.
The night sky and endless stars were replaced, and Ryunosuke himself was rushing into one of them at an extremely high speed. While making contact with the "star", another scene replaced it.
This time, Ryunosuke felt like he was in a "harsh mirror maze" with countless selves around him. But what was different from that kind of amusement park project was that the mirror images were all acting on their own, and the environments they were in were also different.
Different, Ryuzosuke noticed that in the latest "mirror", "he" had just pulled Lin Hao and ran across the road, and was anxiously texting, and at the moment when "he" pressed send,
Ryunosuke returned to reality.
"Haah...ha..." The sudden feeling of suffocation forced Ryunosuke to bend down, gasping for air like a person who had been submerged in water for a long time and finally came to the surface.
"What the hell, what is that..."
Before he began to think about the significance of the illusion just now, Ryunosuke was attracted by a broken stone slab in front of him that was burnt black and half a man high. It seemed to have flown from a distance at an extremely high speed, and it appeared in front of him.
There were deep scratches on the pavement, and he couldn't stop until he hit the railing.
Strange, an accident of this magnitude should have attracted onlookers long ago. How could there be no one nearby?
…There’s no one around?
Ryunosuke suddenly raised his head, and was horrified to find that all the vehicles and bustling crowds that had come before had disappeared, and the entire street was silent.
How is this possible? Even at midnight, there would be a considerable flow of customers here at the Citizen's Hall... Ryunosuke subconsciously turned his gaze in the direction of the Fuyuki Citizen's Hall, and his pupils suddenly shrank involuntarily.
There was no citizen hall there at all, only a ruined wall that was so burnt black that it was beyond recognition that the original appearance could not be seen at all. With that ruin as the center, countless similarly burnt and shattered building materials "shot out" in a radial pattern around it.
, furniture, daily necessities and other things whose origins can no longer be traced.
Could it be that there was an explosion in the clubhouse immediately after he ran out? But why didn't he hear it at all? And what about the pedestrians and vehicles on the street? And Lin Hao... Could Lin Hao still be inside?
"Dudulu~" When Ryunosuke looked up hastily, he found that his childhood sweetheart was walking towards here from not far behind with two cans of drinks. After meeting his eyes, he waved and said.
The same weird catchphrase as usual.
Something seems missing? Forget it, it doesn't matter.
"Lin!" Ryunosuke walked over in two steps: "Did you see it? The Fuyuki Civic Center suddenly exploded, and the vehicles and pedestrians on the road also disappeared."
"Here~" Lin Hao raised his hand and put a can of Coke in Ryuzosuke's hand, while he went to pull out the ring of the can of oolong tea in his hand: "Is there anyone here just now? I was buying Coke for Ryuzosuke, but I didn't see it.
.”
"Um...really?" Ryunosuke looked at the Nuka Cola, which was no different from usual, and began to sort out the information he had obtained so far.
He had previously learned that Professor Marisbili was going to give a lecture on "traveling through time and space" and specially obtained admission to attend the lecture. He planned to disrupt the lecture if what he said was the "truth", but found that he
After leaving the venue after talking nonsense, he was embarrassed by the professor's daughter "Olga Marie", but then she was found dead on the top floor. After he left the venue with Lin Hao, an explosion occurred at the venue.
No, wait, the last step is doubtful, because the explosion that was enough to level the Fuyuki Civic Hall was impossible for me to be unaware of from such a close distance, and the vehicles and pedestrians that disappeared from the street in an instant could not be explained.
Then, it is a more reasonable explanation to replace the last step with "I have traveled again" - however, the world traveled this time is not as different as in the dream, the only difference is "whether the citizen hall exists or not."
Snap, Ryunosuke, who was in a good mood, pulled the Coke ring, took two sips, and then put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Hehehehahahaha!"
"Ryuunosuke?" Lin Hao failed to open her oolong tea and looked up at Ryunosuke who suddenly laughed.
"Lin! I can indeed travel through time and space!" Ryunosuke announced confidently.
"Well...this is the thirteenth time I have said this this month." Lin Hao responded.
"I have solid evidence this time!" Ryuzosuke paused and emphasized.
"This is the fifth time." Lin Hao opened the ring with a click, held the jar and drank.
Ryunosuke, who had tricked himself, was speechless for a moment.
"Well..." After taking two sips of tea, Lin Hao adjusted the brim of his hat and turned to look in the direction of the ruins of the Civic Hall: "If Ryunosuke has already seen it, can you go back now?"
"I'm here to see this?" Ryunosuke noticed something unusual.
"That's right," Lin Hao handed the oolong tea to one hand, and made a motion to hold his glasses frame with the other hand, and then lowered his voice and said: "Humph, there is only one truth about the fire! That is [Chaldea] for
What I did to stop Professor Marisbili’s lecture! I swear on my grandfather’s honor!’——That’s what Ryuunosuke said at the time~”
"..." It seems like I can say this myself, but it is still very shameful to watch others perform it!
"So, when did this happen?" Ryuzosuke adjusted his mentality and asked again.
"Hmm..." Lin Hao tilted his head and seemed to be thinking: "Ryuunosuke also read the Fuyuki News in the morning. The fire in the Citizen's Hall broke out in the early morning. Due to the small number of visitors, the fire alarm was timely and there were no casualties.
But before the fire trucks arrived, there was another unexplained explosion, so the whole building 'Boom' was razed to the ground."
She definitely added that "Boom" herself!
Huh? Wait a minute, an idea suddenly flashed in Ryunosuke's mind: If this world line is this development, then the sudden disappearance of vehicles and pedestrians can be explained - due to the accident at the Citizen's Hall, the nearby blocks have been destroyed
Police blockade.
Further reasoning revealed that he simply sneaked into the blockade to satisfy his curiosity. His naturally stupid childhood sweetheart followed him as soon as he called him. So, the maniacal laughter he made just now...
"Hey! Who's over there!" Two patrolling police officers came around from the other side of the citizen hall and shouted to Ryunosuke.
"Oops! Kevin! Take the camera and leave!" Ryuzosuke deliberately raised his voice so that the police could hear him, and then ran away with Lin Hao.
