[Exorcism] Parallel Trap

When Link came over again, he stayed in the cabin for a long time.

"I really didn't expect that what the general has been looking for for so many years is right under his nose." Link was silent for a long time, and then smiled wryly, "Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

"But in this way, it will be very difficult to get it." Allen still frowned, "I remember that the only way to the church steeple is..."

"It's not easy," Tiqi interrupted him indifferently, "Since it's going to be destroyed, it's fine to just shoot it down."

"I'm afraid that one shot won't break it, but I will scare the snake. No one knows the size of the 'heart', but since it is also a chip, it must not be much bigger. The cross is half a meter high. If the 'heart' is shot, if the 'heart' 'It will be more troublesome to fly out if it is embedded in any fragment." Allen said and glanced at him again.From the beginning to the end, this man has always been calm, even when he just deciphered these codes, he was not surprised.Recalling the few inspirations he happened to get during the previous reasoning, Allen even had some doubts, did this guy already know the answer?

"As far as I know, the cross existed at the beginning of the establishment of the church, and it has been renovated and strengthened many times later. The 'heart' was probably hidden at that time." Link thought for a moment before continuing. , "Well, I'll go back and look up the architectural design information of the church, maybe I can find the renovation drawings of the cross, and then I will make a plan for the next step."

"Well, let's do it like this." Allen nodded quickly, and then looked at Tiqi beside him.

"I have no objection." The latter is completely like you have the final say and I am too lazy to care.

The next few days went into a long wait.Link doesn't come often, but Tiqi still allows someone to show that he is not welcome, and sometimes he will bring some sugar-coated shells such as glutinous rice balls, so that someone's appetite will not be missed. So what to say, and then one day even that girl Rhodes joined in the fun.

"Tiki, you are too mean, you don't bring me in such a fun thing." When Rhodes said this, he was hanging on Allen's neck.

"Adults discuss things, children don't come to join in the fun." Tiqi held the girl by the collar, and stretched his arm over as soon as he cleared the obstacle, but he was slapped away before he could catch the boy's shoulder.

"You guys play, I'll go out to breathe."

Alian couldn't help it, so he finally decided to walk for the best policy, closed the wooden door, blocked the "Don't go, Alian, I came here to see you..." and turned around and slipped away.

To be honest, the state of their getting along these days has indeed eased up a lot, and Tiqi seems to have returned to his previous heartless appearance, harassing her from time to time.

But he understood that it was just "as if".

In fact, both Tiqi and he are very clear that after going through so many things, the relationship between the two of them has long since gone back to the beginning. They can no longer face each other without any scruples like before. Like a layer of invisible yarn, each other will be more or less reserved.Sometimes Tiqi would try to make a few insincere words, but he vaguely took them away.

Allen suddenly thought with some self-mockery, even if Tiqi returned to the former Tiqi, he might not be able to return to the former Allen Walker.

He just walked absent-mindedly, wandering around in the wilderness for a while, seeing that it was getting late and his stomach was beginning to be hungry, so he turned around and turned back.

When approaching the hut, he could still vaguely hear voices coming from inside, it seemed that Rhodes hadn't left yet.Allen sighed softly and was about to open the door, a few words of conversation caught his ears, and then stopped again.

"...you haven't told Allen yet?"

"No."

"Then why don't you say it, idiot Tiki."

"What's the use of saying this?" The man's voice was very soft, as if he was thinking about something, "Maybe it's the only way, people on two different tracks can't get together after all. It's like two Parallel lines that do not intersect..."

"Why must there be a point of intersection?" Rhodes interrupted suddenly, "We both maintain the original state, so it's okay to keep going like this, it's better than quickly moving away after a brief encounter."

Having said that, Rhodes' voice paused for a while before speaking again.

"Actually... Allen really wants to go back to the past."

"Who knows."

Then fell into a long silence.The people outside the house stared at the wooden door for a moment, and finally slowly withdrew their hands, turned and walked away.After a while, there was another sound from the cabin.

"Tiki, Allen has already left."

"Be quiet, don't let him hear you."

……

A week later, Link finally brought back two good news.

"...That is to say, during the study of Mana, the time can only be matched this time," Link said, pointing to the blueprint on the table, "The base of the cross was renovated. Although there is a full circle, but according to the According to Allen's previous inference, it should be embedded on the west side."

"Well, then the scope will be narrowed down a lot." Allen nodded and asked again, "Then the second good news is...?"

"In this operation, someone will help us pretend to attack the church to attract attention."

"That's great, who is it?" Alian's heart moved slightly, and he vaguely had an answer.

"Rabbi and Kanda."

really.

"I've already figured out the preliminary action plan," Link said, unfolding the map, "Look, this spiral staircase is the only way to get from the church bell tower to the roof, and two people will clean the bell tower every Saturday morning. By the way, speaking of it..." At this point, Link raised his head as if remembering something, "Which of you can change your face?"

"I."

"I."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and they were taken aback before they finished speaking.

"Then it's easy to handle. You all go up there pretending to be cleaners." Link didn't notice it, and then urged, "But move quickly, I'm not sure if there are secret whistles nearby."

"Well, I understand." After Allen finished speaking, he looked at Link again, and only then did he notice his still serious expression, "What's wrong?"

Tiqi on the side also seemed to be aware of it, and looked over.

"Actually, there's another thing I'm really worried about."

"What is it?" Allen asked quickly.

Link glanced at him, but didn't speak, as if he was struggling.After a long time, he finally opened his mouth as if making up his mind.

"I think it's time to tell you this secret," Link paused for a moment before he said word for word, "The truth about holiness..."
