Whispering Poems.

Chapter 1659 "What If" Game
Just as the five members of the team were leaving to start a new day of life, Iluna, who was yawning in the morning light, also followed her team to the west area of ​​Tobesk, where the sky was covered with abnormal black clouds. near the next warehouse.

Of course, the church noticed the abnormal phenomenon in the sky last night, and the investigation results showed that an angel-level relic was suspected to have appeared in the urban area, so even Iluna's full-stacked team was still only responsible for asking the police dressed as the police. The basic investigation of the situation of the people nearby last night——the ones who were really dealt with in the core area were the twelve-ring and two thirteen-ring warlocks.

It's just that the team's investigation didn't take long before Iluna was called away and came to the empty warehouse.

If Xia De is still here, he will be surprised that the warehouse has not yet collapsed despite the loss of such a large area of ​​load-bearing walls.

"The problem is really serious."

The 17-year-old girl sighed softly as she looked at the street scene near the warehouse that seemed to have been erased.She looked around as she walked, and she didn't feel that this place was dangerous at all, because she knew it was related to the actions of Xia De's team last night.

This warehouse area is the closest to the church of the [Church of Creation and Destruction], so the thirteen-ring warlock of the Church of Creation, Mr. "Steel Right Hand" Sarri Pirot, is in charge of this investigation.As for why the Church of the Mechanics is responsible for the investigation, the team of the Church of the Sun will be asked to conduct peripheral inquiries. It is because angel-level relics are involved. According to regulations, no church can independently investigate.

"Good morning, Miss Bayas, this way!"

Mr. Pirot was a tall, easy-going-looking middle-aged man, but Iruna knew that the arm hidden in his right sleeve was unusual.

The thirteen-ring warlock stood in the warehouse and exchanged a few words with Iluna, and then explained that he wanted her to try to perceive what happened in this area.The chaotic spirit and restless whispering elements have not subsided until dawn. Ordinary people entering the current warehouse may immediately experience changes in their bodies.

"Divination is definitely useless. The investigation of the traces on the scene can only show that there were no less than three people here. The investigation of the carriages or other traces nearby last night showed that only the carriages of the royal family, MI[-] and the police passed by, but There are all normal reasons. However, a nearby worker reported that he saw a pumpkin carriage pulled by a skeleton horse, and we are not sure whether this is because of excessive fatigue and fainted."

Mr. Pirot explained, and Iluna nodded in understanding:

"I'll give it a try."

She called out the ring of life, and turned it into a dark golden scale in the eyes of people in awe.Then, holding the glowing balance in both hands, he closed his eyes while the ends of his hair were slightly raised.

After a long time, Iluna gave the answer:

"I feel the power of 'nothingness', which represents the power of emptiness and disappearance. It is very similar to the sage-level relic [ancient sage's smear pen] that I came into contact with when I was training in the Holy See, but the power is stronger."

The long-haired girl with brown hair who was assigned to work early in the morning completed her work diligently:
"It is indeed an angel-level relic, and it is still a strong type of angel-level relic. I can't track down such chaotic elements, but I can try to use the talent of 'balance' to make the level of the elements here normal. But it is not completely wiped out. Ping Trace, I still recommend closing this place, at least half a year before it can continue to be used by ordinary people."

Mr. Pirot also supported Iluna's point of view, so Iluna continued to hold the dark golden scales, adjusting the element of restless whispers to a state of relative balance with the element of enlightenment.Later, she inquired about other investigation results, and after confirming that there was no progress, she was ready to go to her team to continue the investigation:

"What did Xia De and Luvia go through last night? Is their group task so dangerous? St. Byrence is too strict with correspondence students, right?"

She thought to herself, and left from the warehouse door.

Both sides of the street have been cordoned off by the police, and the ring warlocks of the Church of Creation put on police uniforms and stood at the intersection to prevent anyone from breaking in.As for the real police, they are looking for the carriage that left the ruts on the ground throughout the city, but the carriage that transported the coffin in the first place has been eliminated by the relics, so it is even impossible to divination specific information.After Dorothy's pumpkin carriage turned back into a pumpkin at the pier, Shad turned it into a toy and burned it with flames.

Therefore, it is impossible for this investigation to produce any results.

"Xia De and Luvia, shouldn't they be injured in what happened last night?"

Although she had great confidence in them, she still felt a little worried.At the same time, Iluna has already got into the alley in front of the warehouse gate, planning to take a shortcut back.This alley was also sealed off, and the ring warlock who was in charge of guarding it was on the street at the other end of the alley, after all, the view there was very wide.

The alley is very short, if there is no garbage in the way, it can be crossed in two or three minutes.As for the garbage, it's not rotten food or dirty daily necessities, but discarded metal products from nearby factories.Including but not limited to scrapped steam cylinders, sawn off steam pipes, metal cabinets with missing cabinet doors.

And when Iluna passed the metal cabinet leaning against the wall, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure on her side and behind the cabinet.Subconsciously turned around to make a defensive counterattack, only to see that the figure behind the cabinet did not intend to attack her.

It was a blond man in a white robe, holding a rolled parchment scroll in his hand, and looked at her with a mysterious expression that must have been half-spoken.This man's appearance does not match this alley, not even this era.

When Iluna was training in the Holy See, she only saw secret language scholars, priests, and keepers of secrets wearing similar styles of clothes.

She frowned slightly, and instead of disappearing, her vigilant expression became more serious.The stranger in front of him looked normal at first glance, but gradually he could feel the whispering elements getting stronger and stronger.The parchment in his hand and his two eyes give Iluna the feeling, clearly like Luvia who is doing special divination.

Carefully feel the essence of the humanoid creature in front of him, and even feel that he has touched the real destiny for a moment.The future seems to be condensed into the hands of this humanoid creature, and a single point is branched in his hands, extending out thousands of possibilities.

"Angel level? You are in the warehouse"

After finishing speaking, it felt wrong. In the warehouse was clearly the power to erase everything, but in front of him was fate.

Iluna took a step back subconsciously, and then felt that her back was soaked at some point.The sunshine in the spring morning is not warm at all, on the contrary, what she feels in the groggy head is the chill of the sun:

"You are. What if?"

His eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe that he had just encountered this rumored unknowable (level 0) relic.

"Yes."

The man nodded and said, seeing Iluna looking at the alley and wanting to call someone, he reminded:

"Our conversation will not be known by anyone, and will not be disturbed by anyone. I still have this basic ability. Dear Chosen Hero, I have no malicious intentions, but I want to play three games with you. "

"game?"

Iluna asked suspiciously, and then threw the sunshine gun upwards.The golden thunder exploded above the alley, but after waiting for a long time, no one came in to check the situation.

"If" shook his head:
"The chosen one of balance, the hero chosen by heaven, you don't have to be afraid of me, this is just a game."

As he spoke, he unfolded the parchment scroll and faced himself:
"If, it is also if. Although the future is uncertain, we all know that different choices will usher in different results, but people cannot be sure what kind of ending a certain choice will correspond to."

He looked over the parchment and looked at Iluna:
"And this game called what-if starts when you propose a choice for the future, and I will simulate everything that follows. This is not to predict the future, nor is it to split the timeline to create parallel time and space. It is just It's just a game of what if."

Iluna didn't let down her vigilance because of the other party's honorific title to her. She frowned tightly, and the dark golden balance transformed into the ring of life floated behind her:
"What if I refuse? I don't want to know what hasn't happened. I want to witness the future I created with my own eyes."

"The chosen hero, the protagonist of the stage, please forgive my rudeness, but please don't reject me. Please tell me, what choice will you make, what will you do when you finish your work this morning? "

The man asked gently, seeing that Iluna still did not speak, he asked again:

"Then answer my other question: If you had to sacrifice someone you love for the safety of this world, would you choose to do so?"

"of course not."

Iluna replied without thinking, it doesn't require thinking at all:
"Although people will always think that I am a hero, I never think of myself that way. Between good and evil, I stand on the middle line. Yes, maybe not so neutral, but more inclined to be good, but I I will definitely not sacrifice the person I am attached to. I am not a purely kind and lawful ring magician, otherwise I would have reported Xia. Those things that harm the interests of the church."

She answered smoothly:
"Maybe there are people who are willing to sacrifice everything for the world, but I will not do that kind of extreme behavior. Good and evil are in my heart, and what I do is balance. Your question is ridiculous. If you ask me, kill Is it worth losing 1 people to save one person, let me tell you, it's worth it."

Among the first candidates of all the currently selected candidates, except for Iluna, everyone else has strange paranoia and ideas.In fact, Iluna may not have "unique" ideas, but she met Xia De and Luvia, and the two never let her be forced to make any choices and decisions.

The man holding the parchment roll smiled, and seemed satisfied with the answer:

"The way of balance is indeed suitable for you. So what if I say that you can use the 'what if' to peep into the tragedies that may happen, so as to avoid them? This is not playing with time and fate, because it is really just a game."

Iluna still shook her head:
"I won't believe the words of the unknowable relic. The future is in my hands, and I don't need games."

"Okay then—you can't go without playing the game."

The man continued smiling.

"You said that earlier, don't you need to waste time? Next, I'm going to No. [-], Plaza Saint Teresa, to find Shade Suren Hamilton."

According to the experience in "Dice Stories Collection", when encountering such things that I can't handle, it is the best choice to go to Shade for help.

The man nodded, looked at the scroll of parchment unfolded in his hand, and read the words on it.And following his words, the golden thread in the air between the two outlined the content to be read in beautiful cursive De La Rion letters:

【You are Iluna Emilia Bayas, the chosen hero, the chosen one of balance, the protagonist of the stage. 】

【Early this morning, you were woken up by a knock on the door, and you participated in a unique investigation mission organized by the church. 】

[You completed the investigation in the warehouse area, you learned that there was an unusual meowing sound nearby last night, but this cannot point to anyone;]

【You concealed all the truth you knew, and applied for a vacation from your captain. The captain understood your busyness and agreed to your application;】

【You took a carriage to No. [-] Place Saint Teresa, and the conversation with the coachman let you know his miserable life, and your mood became depressed;】

[You saw the dilapidated door of No. [-] Place Saint-Terraine, and were puzzled by the dilapidated door and the boarded windows of the house;]

[You inquired about the situation from the kind-hearted people who were walking their dogs near the square, and learned that this is a famous local haunted house;]

[You still knocked on the door, and the door was opened. The gatekeeper of the doomsday, the keeper of the shelter, the undead of the eternal human law, and the bound grey-headed eagle received you. 】

"Wait? Who are these four people in Xia De's family?"

Iluna's eyes widened in surprise, suspecting that Xia De's house had been mysteriously invaded.

"No, it's not four people, it's four titles for the same person."

"If" reminded, Iluna blinked and saw the golden thread in front of her continue to flow, weaving new content:
[The soul who opened the door asked: The end time has not yet come, how did you find this place, the chosen hero?Was it the Daughter of Destroyed Time who broke into here several times, who gave you a hint?No, she hasn't beaten me yet, she can't use here as she pleases. 】

Iluna couldn't understand the situation at all, but at least she remembered that Shad had said that "Grey Eagle" was Sparrow Hamilton.

"I"

[You can't answer the question of the soul, but you know that you shouldn't be here at this point in time;]

【The gatekeeper launched an attack on you;】

【you are dead. 】

"what!"

Iluna let out a cry of surprise, and then watched the golden thread in front of her explode into light spots.She covered her head, feeling that her head was hit hard by a hammer, and then touched her nose, the nosebleed slowly flowed to her lips, the smell of blood didn't make her panic, on the contrary it was just The fact that she knew made her flustered:
"Sparrow Hamilton's soul, isn't it already approaching the end, how could it appear in... Wait! The dilapidated No. [-], Place San Teresa? A nailed window? He said I shouldn't come at this time? Guide me to destroy the daughter of time? I understand, I understand, I understand, there is only one truth—"

In the painful head, the thoughts became clearer than ever before, Iluna gritted her teeth and looked at the other party, looking at the roll of parchment:
"Suppose. If in your simulated future, Shade doesn't exist at all! This is, the future without Shade!"

　PS: ask for votes.

　　Iluna is really the only heroine in "Whispering Poetry".This has been established since the beginning of this book.
