Modern world, Lake Motosu.
The lake is calm, the wind is gentle, and the sun is just right. Because it is originally one of the Fuji Five Lakes and has not been developed much, the surrounding scenery is relatively pristine. However, the roar of the propellers of the armed helicopters, the shouts of the American soldiers, and the defense sentries that can be seen everywhere on the lake shore have all destroyed it. Quiet scenery.
Occasionally, there would be a gunshot, and then people around would rush in. Sharp alarms sounded in each camp, and countless people felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
But in the end, it's often a misunderstanding. It's not like the plot in a thriller movie. A lone soldier encounters an unknown monster or something. It's just because the nerves are too tight, and there is a feeling that everyone is surrounded by soldiers. The slightest movement occurs subconsciously. He fired and almost accidentally injured a friendly force.
However, it can also be seen that the current state of this area, information control, personnel dispersal, traffic control and military garrison, are basically the same.
There are naturally reasons for such a situation.
Although in the eternal night where time is stopped, no one or thing can continue to move. As long as they still belong to this world, the pause button will inevitably be pressed.
Therefore, people mostly don’t know what happened in the lost time... but they can guess based on the traces. After all, a ferocious battle also took place on the lake, and in the end the blood of the multi-headed serpent was contaminated. Large areas of the lake turned red, and there were signs of damage to the lake shore.
It might be the corrosive breath of the big snake, or it might be the wind damage that Inuyasha tried his best to chop. In short, it is very obvious, even the ground has been plowed into pieces...
These traces are so conspicuous that it is difficult for people to ignore them.
It's a matter of having to fight for dates or not. In addition, this place is so close to Tokyo, where the confirmed sighting happened not long ago. If the authorities can't react, then something is wrong... Of course, The authorities mentioned here naturally refer to Americans.
Therefore, the entire Motosu Lake has been tightly sealed off, with layers of defense lines, so that not even a fly can fly through.
It's a pity that just because the fly can't fly, it doesn't mean that the target they want to intercept can't get through. Even if they leave here in a swaggering manner, they can't find it.
…………
"That's a helicopter. The result of modern aviation technology, ordinary humans can fly into the sky like birds... Are you interested in Platycodon? Do we want to go up and take a ride?"
Walking in the open space on the shore of the lake, casually avoiding a small team patrolling in front of me, I saw the witch seemed to be observing the helicopter flying low in the sky. The sound of the propeller rotating at high speed was still very harsh. Gu Mo said enthusiastically, taking the initiative to serve as a tour guide explaining the modern world as before.
The witch glanced at him and shook her head gently, but she was indeed somewhat interested in this novel thing, and she couldn't help but have a little emotion in her tone:
"Can ordinary people in this era also fly into the sky?"
Although this era has always shocked her, and many new things have given her a considerable impact, things like the fact that ordinary people can fly into the sky are still among the best, and they make her even more excited. Intuitively feel the tremendous changes in this era.
"Of course it is possible. If my memory is correct, it should be at the beginning of this century that the first flying aircraft was built, and mankind realized the dream of flying for the first time. Now, almost a hundred years later With the development of left and right, the technology in this area has been relatively mature and improved..."
Gu Mo put his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully.
The modern time and space of this world is the era of Kagome Higurashi, which means that it is now 1996, and it seems that the first airplane was built by the Wright brothers at the beginning of this century.
"A hundred years? That's too soon..."
The witch was somewhat surprised.
"After all, it is a transformative technology, and it also happens to coincide with the war period. War, especially the catalyst for technology, is quite normal at this speed..." Gu Mo probably knew what Platycodon was thinking and shrugged. He said in reply.
It's war again... As expected, it has never stopped even in this era.
Thinking of the city that was bombed not long ago, she sighed slightly in her heart. The witch retracted her gaze to the sky. The black gunship happened to fly around the lake at low altitude for a patrol, and then flew in another direction. Very soon He soon disappeared on the other side of the forest.
"Are you really not going to sit down for a while?" Gu Mo looked a little regretful, "If they are interested, I can ask them to come down..."
Although the tone is somewhat joking, it is not too serious to be taken seriously.
Leaving the dream city in the mirror and returning to the real world, although he hasn't exactly done anything yet, he can know what he can do and is keenly aware of the changes in himself compared to before adding points. After all, it was a huge mental power enhancement that increased by a full 4 points at once. It was no longer as simple as a qualitative leap.
Even if he applies the formula according to his previous self-explored rules, the same is true——
Because the way of adding points is to bring significant growth based on the current overall basis. Note that it is based on the "current overall basis". Adding from 10 points to 11 points is an enhancement based on 10 points; adding from 11 points to 12 points is an enhancement based on 11 points...each one The increase in ability points strengthens the previous overall ability value.
So you may not be able to see it from the front, but the closer you get to the back, the more it will snowball.
According to Zhang Mo's physical sense, even if it is only a relatively conservative calculation in terms of total amount, taking 10 points of mental attributes of an ordinary person as a standard, which corresponds to one hundred units of mental power, then in terms of his true mental attributes When the value reaches 16 points, it is about ten times that of ordinary people.
But when the true mental attribute value exceeded 18 points, the total amount of mental power had officially exceeded 2,500 units - no wonder it was a real watershed.
So what happens after the true mental attribute value reaches 21 points? The total amount of spiritual power is already more than 8,000 units, and this does not include the extra point added by the power of the guardian spirit... Such a powerful spiritual power has even brought about asynchrony and incoordination as if it were incompatible with the physical body. weird feeling.
And it also made Gu Mo feel that when he used too much mental power, his brain seemed to be overloaded and about to burn out...
He guessed that this was probably due to the interrelated influence between attributes. He did not exist in a spiritual body, and his spiritual will was not yet independent of the physical body.
——So although the mental attribute has reached an extremely terrifying height, it has also reached a bottleneck...
——Other attributes are starting to lag behind at this stage...
But no matter what, Gu Mo did not regret his ruthless investment, especially when he left Dream City and returned to the real world, he felt that his decision was too correct, because he almost immediately mastered Lake Motosu He knows all the disturbances nearby, knows all the defense lines and military layouts, and senses everyone's thoughts and mood swings.
Distance does not affect the results…
Quantity is not an issue either…
Even if the helicopter had just flown out of sight, he could easily project his will to it in an instant, grasp the intelligence of the soldiers and pilots in the cabin as if they were there, and control their emotions and actions... ...The spiritual will of ordinary people was as weak as an ant in front of him at this moment.
So - this is a completely worthwhile investment and the most correct decision.
He finally relied on his own abilities to reach a new level. It was no longer like before. Apart from calling for players to come online, he had no special cards that he could use.
"...No need."
It's just that the witch ignored Gu Mo's warm invitation, and her tone was still flat with a hint of firm rejection. However, she continued to take a few steps forward, as if she remembered something again, so she stopped, and at the same time smiled slightly. She looked sideways at him.
"By the way, speaking of which, maybe you need it more."
"Eh?"
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, what did this mean?
"Didn't you say before... that you can't fly?" The witch gently stroked the hair beside her ears, turned around and continued walking forward. From the moment she first met this person, he said that he couldn't fly. Flying here, I didn't care too much at the time, but now...
This person exceeded his expectations time and time again.
From the beginning, I thought it was just an ordinary half-demon, to the huge nine-tailed demon fox that looked like a thousand-meter mountain not long ago...
Naturally, the witch could no longer believe such rhetoric, and she also felt a subtle sense of being deceived.
"It's true that I can't fly, but I can't drive this kind of thing either, so I might as well skip it."
Gu Mo said confidently that he couldn't fly, and he would never be able to fly in this life. He could only manage to travel by riding a dead soul insect with a witch... Originally, he was still a little eager to master the flying skill. Now I suddenly feel that it is okay to take it slow.
"..."
"..."
The witch turned her face away, no longer looking at him, but she sighed slightly helplessly, how could this person be so confident?
only……
——"Is it just for this dead man that you have done this?"
The words Shen Jiuye said before seemed to echo in her ears, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought, but it only took a second or two for her to react.
The witch didn't say much, she just glanced at him inexplicably, then turned and walked forward, her steps light and neither fast nor slow.
"Um?"
He tilted his head slightly and watched Kikyo walk away. What did that look mean just now?
There is a line of defense in front, with sentries on both sides of the checkpoint constantly watching, and not far away there are heavily armed soldiers patrolling continuously... But despite all the layers of security, it is impossible to completely block all entrances and exits. Path, not to mention whether it was the witch or Gu Mo at the moment, they could easily avoid the conflict and leave the scene without anyone noticing.
"Will they find anything?" Gu Ji
After walking a certain distance out of the checkpoint, Kikyo looked back, still looking tense and facing a formidable enemy, and asked uneasily.
She already knows that this era is an era of mysterious disappearances. If possible, she still does not want those strange and chaotic elements to reappear and disrupt the process of the world... Since she has left this world, it is better not to reappear again. as well.
"No, the real dream city is hidden in the reflection of the lake, and the reflection is just the entrance to the barrier. The mirror as the main body has been taken away by me..." Gu Mo replied decisively, "They Even if we were ruthless enough to drain the lake, nothing would be found."
And even the multi-headed snake is probably dead long ago. Whether it was Inuyasha's wind injury or Sesshomaru's final attack, the end would be the same... After such a period of time, what else can be found.
So there is no need to worry at all.
The shrine maiden nodded slightly. This was naturally the best. There was nothing she could do about fighting the monster Kamijiuye in the city before. However, if she had a choice, she still hoped that the world could remain as it is now... maybe it wasn't good enough. , but it is definitely much better than the Warring States Period.
Gu Mo thought seriously, then looked at the surrounding environment, and then asked: "But having said that, where do you want to go now, Kikyo? Is there any other place you want to see? Or I can Recommend..."
"No need, go back." Kikyo said in a calm voice.
"Are you going back now?"
Gu Mo blinked. Can curiosity be satisfied so easily?
The witch was calm and silent. She just identified the direction a little and waved her hand gently. Several bodies were as slender as snakes, with delicate and small wings and claws. The dead soul insects like miniature flying dragons were illuminated by the soft light. she summoned.
"Ahem, um... I can't fly."
Gu Mo looked at the number of dead soul insects, coughed slightly, and gave this serious reminder.
The miko turned around and looked at him quietly, while she couldn't help but frown slightly. It was just that the other party had a calm look on her face and did not avoid looking away. He looked directly at her without any sign of guilt. A long time passed like this.
In the end, it was Kikyo who took the lead to look away. She stretched out her hand to summon a few more dead soul insects and said in a calm tone:
"Come up."
…
…
It’s not too far to go back to Tokyo from Yamanashi Prefecture, especially if you’re flying in a straight line...
No matter how unbearable the Death Soul Insect is, it is still much faster than ordinary means of transportation.
Although flying carelessly in the modern world in broad daylight is a bit blatant, the miko's barrier can ensure that it will not be exposed, so there is no problem. So not long after, the dead soul insect carried the two of them back to the front of Higurashi Shrine and landed gently.
The streets on both sides are spacious, but much deserted than usual, and there are not many pedestrians.
It was probably due to the bombing incident and monster infestation in the city center not long ago, which had some impact and influence. Naturally, most citizens were panic-stricken.
Standing in front of the long and wide stone steps, Kikyo looked up at the torii gate at the end above. Although the main building of the shrine could not be seen, the sacred tree was still very conspicuous... But she didn't know why, she stopped. , did not walk up, and frowned slightly.
Gu Mo used some mental energy to detect it, and immediately understood what was going on.
He observed the expression on the witch's face, and said with a chuckle: "You haven't gone back yet... Are you worried about the turmoil in the modern world, or are you just waiting for us?"
Or maybe both.
The big dog has no nostalgia at all. He should have left immediately when he saw that nothing could be done. I wonder if he went back to the Warring States Period to hunt down Totosai and was ready to continue pursuing his dream of a demon sword... But Inuyasha and Higurashi Kagome were still there. Stay in the modern shrine, even if days have passed.
Or maybe they know that if they want to travel through time and space again, they have to rely on the dry well in the shrine, so whether Inuyasha wants an explanation or Higurashi Kagome wants to ask clearly about things in the modern world, they all keep Are you here waiting for them to come?
"Let's just go directly. We can pass by the ancestral hall at most and give them some money to buy the road. The worst we can do is get into a fight..."
Gu Mo suggested proactively.
"There's no need..." The witch shook her head slightly and lowered her eyes.
"Then... let's go there secretly?" Gu Mo blinked and changed his suggestion, "But they are right next to the ancestral hall, and Miss Higurashi's spiritual power is also very strong, so it is very likely that she will not be affected by your barrier. , we may not be able to hide it from her eyes..."
It's not very likely, nor is it certain, but it's a certain thing.
In addition to being inferior to mikos in terms of temperament and experience, Higurashi Kagome's ability template is completely copied from Kikyo's. Her spiritual power and spiritual senses are extremely sharp and frightening. Even now, she still doesn't know how to better use this ability that has been inherited from time to time. The power, but just the instinctive squandering and simple utilization is already very strong.
Kikyo probably thought of this as well, and seemed to be thinking seriously.
"or……"
Gu Mo looked at the witch with a smile on his face, stretched out an index finger and shook it gently at her.
"Actually, we have enough time. How about taking a closer look at this world? They can't wait here forever, right?"
"Um?"
Raising her eyebrows slightly, the miko raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.
…………
at the same time.
"Inuyasha, put your hat on...don't let anyone see you."
At Higurashi Shrine, the girl in sailor uniform handed the sun hat to Ergouzi who looked unhappy and asked him to put it on. After all, the most obvious feature of the half-demon is the pair of dog ears on the head. As long as this is covered , it is not so conspicuous.
"I know, I know……"
Inuyasha put on his hat impatiently, sneezed, and then turned away.
The shrine was originally a bit deserted, and there was often not much incense at the end of the day. However, perhaps what happened a few days ago was too sensational and made many citizens panic, so in the past two days, people came to the shrine from time to time to pray. bless.
Just like the original cannibal mask, because it happened nearby, the number of victims was increasing day by day, and bad rumors kept spreading... Even after they were eliminated, the incense in the shrine continued to flourish for some time, I don't know. The insider's grandfather also thought that there was hope for the shrine's revival.
So Inuyasha stayed in modern times, so he naturally had to cover it up. Although there were no clues and what happened before was not implicated in the shrine, Higurashi Kagome still felt a sense of crisis.
Holding her knees and sitting next to Er Gouzi, looking at Inuyasha's appearance, the girl in sailor uniform hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.
Pursing her lips slightly, she secretly glanced at Er Gouzi's neck, which was empty.
If the thread was broken, it would never be reconnected, unless she made a new string of words and spirits beads herself and hung them up for Inuyasha.
…………
Outside the window is the boundless clear and clear sky, which makes people feel what summer is.
The miko looked at the scenery outside the window opposite and began to recede. She showed a slightly surprised expression and couldn't help but turn her head to look out the window behind her.
"This is a tram...it's also a very convenient means of transportation."
Sitting on the seat next to him, Gu Mo introduced with a smile, "On weekdays, there would probably be more people, but during this time, it may seem a lot empty, as if there was nothing on the streets we saw before. It's the same as when people go out, at least Tokyo is very affected..."
It's not necessarily the impact of their battle with Kamikuya, but more importantly the US military's bombing on the streets of Tokyo. For the former, citizens who haven't witnessed it may think it's just a dream, but for the latter, it's real. The news has aroused fear and panic in too many people.
The most intuitive example is that the streets have become deserted, and the tram is also extremely empty. The car he and the miko are sitting in is the only one.
"This is indeed very good..." Nodding slightly, Kikyo stared at the rapidly retreating objects outside the window and the city scenery along the way.
After a moment of hesitation, she asked: "...where are we going?"
"have no idea."
"Huh?" The witch turned her eyes to him in confusion.
"Take a good look at this world. There is no need to set a goal for yourself. As long as you are willing, Kikyo, you can go wherever you want. We can even visit every corner of this planet..." Gu Mo smiled softly. Then, he also looked at the receding scenery outside the window.
Whether it’s the Jade of the Four Souls or Naraku’s conspiracy...
Isn't this more interesting than the Warring States Period five hundred years ago?
