Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

The next moment, the original hairpin changed, and a key appeared in Xiuer's hand.

Click.

The door opened.

After putting the fake witch, which had turned back into a hairpin, back in its original place, Shuul walked into Kurumi's house and closed the door.

......

After checking a series of rooms including the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, Xiuer confirmed that Kurumi was indeed not at home.

Then where did she go?

Based on previous surveillance records, Xiuer was sure that this was the time when Kurumi was at home.

Urgent? Not necessarily.

Looking at the city surveillance again, Kurumi was nowhere to be seen on any of her routes.

So, either the other party is in a blind spot, or...

A strange shadow appeared in a corner behind Xiuer.

As if to prove Xuul's guess, countless hands made up of shadows suddenly emerged from the shadow behind Xuul.

"—[Open]—[No Entry]—"

A golden particle membrane covered Xuul, blocking all the incoming shadow hands.

However, because of the use of other weapons, Shuul's disguise was automatically broken, exposing the mechanical structure underneath.

When the other party saw that his sneak attack failed, he no longer hid and responded to Xuer with words.

"Ah~ Miss Robot has a terrible personality for just barging into someone else's house~"

A black-haired woman in a black and red gothic outfit walked out from the shadows on the wall.

A long and a short ponytail hung on both sides of her hair like the hour and minute hands on a clock, and strong hostility could be seen in her scarlet eyes.

What is noteworthy is the girl's left eye, which is different from that of an ordinary person. The time scale of a clock is imprinted in her eye, and the pointer inside is moving counterclockwise.

Although he knew that the girl in front of him was the Kurumi he was looking for, Shuul still asked questions as if he was facing Nanashi.

"【Question】Are you Tokisaki Kurumi?"

Just think of it as a sense of ritual.

"Yes, Miss Robot. May I ask what you may want from me?"

Kurumi pointed at her chin, tilted her head, and looked at Xiuer with a puzzled look, as if she really didn't know.

To this, Xiuer did not answer, but...

"—[Tian Kai]—[Accelerator]—"

A [door] made of golden energy appeared on the ceiling, and then fell down, swallowing up Shuul and Kurumi together.

During this time, Kurumi did not try to dodge, but quietly waited for Kinmen to swallow her, with a smile on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Xiuer was also curious about this, but he couldn't show any emotion at the moment.

Could it be that Kurumi has some other intentions?

This was the only thing Xiuer could guess.

......

The scene takes place in the suburbs.

This was the battle location chosen by Xiuer in order to prevent the houses in that area from being destroyed, but he didn't expect that Kuang San would cooperate so well.

"Ah~ Spatial abilities? I really want to know who's behind you."

"..."

Xiuer didn't say anything, but silently took out the Ao Sha Gong.

"[Princess], [Hermit], [Witch]..."

"I'm next, right? I'm the angel who copies elves. You're really bold."

Only then did Xiuer realize that Kurumi seemed to have some misunderstanding about herself. She seemed to think that she was an anti-elf fighting robot created by a certain force, an angel who copied elves to achieve an unknown plan.

Since the other party has already thought of the settings for him, what else can Xuer say?

Of course I accept it.

"If you want it, come and get it yourself!"

Kurumi showed a crazy smile, and two flintlock rifles of different lengths appeared in her hands. Starting from her feet, black shadows spread outward, and the original suburbs became Kurumi's shadow paradise.

At this time, Xiuer moved. Of course, he couldn't really wait for Kuang San to pave the ground.

"—[Opening]—[Speed ​​Violation]—"

At this moment, Xuul burst out with astonishing speed, and golden energy spurted out, allowing Xuul to draw a golden straight line.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Kurumi, and Aosagong's sword hit her, but she seemed not to react, and the smile on her face did not change at all.

'Not the real body.'

“—【Opening】—【Traffic Control】—”

Xiuer immediately came to the conclusion and launched a defense in an instant.

Countless bullets flew from Xiuer's side, were deflected to the back, and hit a group of Kurumi behind him.

At this time, Kurumi began to emerge from the area covered by shadows, all with the same unchanging smile on their faces.

A creepy laugh came from his mouth, rising and falling in the area.

At this moment, the real Kurumi has already merged into the clones. Finding that one clone among those clones that are no different from the original is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The Kurumi and the others looked at Xiuer with a teasing smile, and their laughter was as annoying as if they were mocking him.

Xiuer looked at them and sighed helplessly.

'Ah, as expected, Kurumi is the most troublesome one...'

Chapter 9: Pseudo-Scripture - Emperor Keke

Kurumi's clones poured bullets at Shuul, but each bullet was blocked and deflected by Shuul's shield before hitting him, and finally hit another Kurumi clone.

It can be said accurately that every bullet they fired at Xuer would be returned by Xuer intact.

Faced with this unreasonable defense, Kuang San and the others had no way to break it. After realizing that long-range weapons were completely ineffective against Shuul, they chose to stop firing and instead engaged in close combat with Shuul.

But what happened was that in the close combat, Xu'er, holding the Ao Sha Gong, was like a ghost in the air, and started to dominate the group of Kurumi.

Countless Kurumis emerged from the shadows, then were killed by Shuul and returned to the shadows.

The time came 5 minutes after the battle started.

Kuang San and the others found that Xiuer's fighting offensive was becoming more and more fierce. At the beginning, they could still exchange a few moves with Xiuer, but now they couldn't even withstand a single move.

The original plan to deplete the opponent's energy also failed.

Just look at how he gets more and more powerful the more he fights. Can you tell me that the energy of this thing can be high?

Anyway, Kuang San knew that if she continued to waste time like this, her spiritual power and time would be exhausted by the opponent.

As for his previous tactic against the enemy, absorbing the opponent's "time" ability, it had no effect on Xuer.

She had done this as early as when Xiuer entered the house, but for some reason, she couldn't take any "time" from Xiuer, as if he was a dead object.

This is also the reason why Kurumi thinks that Shuul is a robot.

To be honest, she really didn't want the other party to steal her angel's ability, but if she didn't use the angel now, she would be defeated.

The option of "escape" was abandoned by her.

Kuang San could vaguely feel that if she chose to escape, the other party would be able to find her immediately, no matter where she was hiding.

It was impossible for her to hide in the shadows for the rest of her life.

"Tsk, I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

Just as Kuang San complained out of frustration, a voice she had just heard appeared in her ears.

"Got you."

"!?"

Kurumi subconsciously wanted to hide in the shadows, but...

"—[Tian Kai]—[Accelerator]—"

Xiuer locked onto Kurumi's space, and as a result, Kurumi was bounced out.

......

Kurumi flew up.

Blood spurted out from the wound in the abdomen, drawing a perfect semicircle in the sky.

Xiuer analyzed Kurumi's true form and had a basic understanding of her true form. Now, he had completely analyzed all of Kurumi, and the location of her true form was naturally locked out.

A heavy attack slashed diagonally upwards, sending Kurumi's real body flying into the air.

The situation became dangerous, and Kurumi no longer hesitated.

"Come out! [Emperor Keke]"

A huge mechanical clock appeared behind Kurumi.

Using spiritual power to stabilize her body in the air, Kuang San looked down at Shuul at her feet, covering her abdomen with her hands, looking embarrassed.

And she saw it too.

After summoning the angel, Xuer's eyes lit up with a strange light.

Guessing what Shuul was doing, Kurumi also wanted to end the battle quickly, so she raised the flintlock in her hand.

"【Fourth Bullet】"

The hour hand pointed to four o'clock, and a ball of spiritual power appeared at the four position and entered the gun raised by Kuang San.

Then, she aimed it at her own head.

boom!

Gunshots.

The moment Kurumi hit herself, the wound on her body disappeared.

Xiuer did not take any action. While defending against the other three clones of Kuang San, he was also analyzing Emperor Ke Ke.

His primary goal was to analyze Keke-tei, not to defeat Kurumi. Forcing her angel out was the reason why Shuul had waited so long.

"【First Bullet】...【Fifth Bullet】..."

Following the same steps, Kuang San applied the buff to herself.

One bullet can instantly accelerate the target it hits, achieving the effect of teleportation.

The fourth bullet reverses time for the target it hits, achieving a healing effect.

The fifth bullet will hit the target in the short future.

Kurumi will not use other effect bullets to attack Shuul because she knows it is pointless and the opponent can deflect such attacks.

"Analysis completed"

As for Xiuer, he analyzed the data when the other party used his ability.

then......

“—[Dian Kai]—[Pseudo-Dian]—[Emperor Ke Ke]—”

Golden energy condensed and took shape behind Xiuer, and a clock exactly the same as Kurumi's appeared behind Xiuer.

Faced with this situation, Kurumi just sighed in distress.

"As expected, I absolutely cannot use an angel in front of you."

Kuang San had already obtained this result when she predicted the future, and her mood was not much better at the moment.
