"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the captain of this plane...After careful evaluation, I regret to inform you that this flight will turn around and return..."
Tamagawa Eisuke sat sideways on his seat, with most of his legs and feet protruding in the aisle. His body was flabby, and he was still trying to digest the changes in the situation before and after his coma.
His condition was really not good. The aftereffects of the forced "soul placement" had not yet faded away. There was a buzzing inside his skull and occasionally there was a high-pitched tinnitus. In this case, he automatically filtered most of the flight announcement information, leaving only the most critical word:
Return!
His eyes moved and he glanced sideways from the corner of his eye. The key factors that caused all of this were presented before his eyes.
Only less than three meters apart, the puppet controlled by the pope, like Tamagawa Eisuke, sat sideways on the seat, facing the aisle, with his elbows on his knees and leaning forward slightly. His posture has not changed for a long time.
But compared to the moment Tamagawa Eisuke opened his eyes, this puppet body that looked like a business elite seemed to have been drained of blood, flesh and water, leaving only the skinny outline of a skeleton, like a mummy, with a mouth and nose There was almost no breath coming in or out.
With the body and body damaged to this extent, it is already a miracle to maintain the most basic vitality, and it will be difficult to do anything more.
But this kind of thing is not a problem at all for the Pope.
The pope's consciousness still resides here, calmly calculating, living within his means, keeping the puppet alive, and allowing everyone in the first class to still rely on him to live their lives.
It is precisely because this breath is too weak that everyone in the empty cabin is holding their breath. In most cases, they are like wooden sculptures.
The same is true for Tamagawa Eisuke. No one restrains him, but in this atmosphere, the only things he can use are his eyes and thinking.
At first, he just looked at his surroundings in a daze, passively accepting the drastic changes in the situation after that "nightmare". As time went by, his brain, which was like a ball of paste, began to slowly recover...
Although this kind of recovery brings pain first.
Tamagawa Eisuke saw the virtual workspace in front of the Pope's puppet, saw the mimetic picture of the spiritual ocean above, and saw the chaotic ripples appearing continuously... Of course, he had also heard and seen how the Pope gave guidance earlier. Xinyan operates the corresponding equipment.
He almost didn't dare to think deeply about the logic inside, and his mouth was full of bitterness.
If possible, he would very much like to delete all orders and bargaining records related to the "Mimic Chart Generator" in the past few days - whether it is reality or people's memory.
However, this is just a delusion. Maybe the relevant information is already on the Pope's desk, just waiting for an opportunity to happen.
When I go back to Sakai City, I must...can I not go back?
Then again, it is absolutely impossible to let Tamagawa Eisuke leave the side of the Pope's puppet now. As long as I recall the scene where my mind was like a prison, my body was involuntarily controlled by others, the fear and despair will follow me like a shadow, and there is no way to relieve it.
Ronan will never come back to the Pope... right?
Tamagawa Eisuke adjusted his sight angle again and looked at the porthole on the opposite side of the aisle. The first thing I saw was Kitano Hayato's stocky back. His bodyguard leader was no longer focused on his job at this stage, but was focusing on observing the scene outside the porthole.
Tamagawa Eisuke can understand this.
Because at this moment, there was strong light from time to time, "burning" marks on the airship's portholes. It was blurry and intermittent at first, but became increasingly clear and dense.
That is……
"The True God has captured Ronan's location... I hope it's true this time." Bai Xinyan spoke while adjusting the equipment parameters in the back seat. The tone is very pragmatic, but because it is too pragmatic, it seems that it is not that particular.
As he spoke, the distorted atmospheric sound penetrated the airship armor, passed in, and rumbled in people's ears.
This is the power of the true God, how could it be that it is not his emotions?
Bai Xinyan smiled slightly: "But one thing can be confirmed, Ronan did not escape successfully, and your judgment is correct."
The mummy-like papal puppet showed no response. It was obvious that the pope did not want to use the few resources he had on small talk.
However, Tamagawa Eisuke's thoughts were still spreading freely. He subconsciously looked at his watch. It was 22:42 - almost twenty minutes had passed since he woke up, and it was almost the same time since the last so-called "capture" by the True God. It's this length of time.
During this period, almost everyone thought that Ronan had run away, but now, the Pope's silent waiting perfectly demonstrated the huge difference in judgment between extraordinary people and normal people.
But looking at it from another perspective, Ronan, the robber who seemed to be able to deprive others of their spiritual autonomy at any time, endured for more than 20 minutes under the eyes of the true God and the Pope, and almost exhausted the last bit of essence and blood of the Pope's puppet. , he almost succeeded...but unfortunately failed.
Tamagawa Eisuke understands this.
How could he ever think of provoking such a person before? Every time he thinks of this, Tamagawa Eisuke's chest feels as if a handful of iron sand has been forced into it and rubbed repeatedly.
At least this time, let the true God and the Pope succeed and hang that guy!
But in case it doesn’t work...
Tamagawa Eisuke shuddered subconsciously, and at this moment, the slightly cold bottle was placed on the back of his hand. He pushed it away almost subconsciously, only to realize something was wrong halfway through.
It was Bai Xinyan who handed over a bottle of water.
"Uh, thank you."
Tamagawa Eisuke subconsciously took it. He still remembered Bai Xinyan's reminder and warning to him in that "nightmare" before he completely lost control of himself. This was a favor. But correspondingly, he also had some lingering doubts in his heart:
Just looking at what happened today, was it really he who brought on the uninvited robber?
He had offended Ronan quite a lot, and taking the airship away from Bancheng did give him a chance to take action... But there was a vague sense of dislocation here, what was going on?
Tamagawa Eisuke shook his wrist, and the bottle of mineral water also shook, making a "swishing" sound. Maybe, he should learn more, such as calling Sakajo...
He is now driven by instinct most of the time, and does whatever comes to mind. For a moment, he forgets the situation in front of him. He finds the communication number of his intelligence chief, Takemoto Shigeru, and wants to dial it.
"What can you see like this... You might as well drink it quickly." Bai Xinyan's words came in at this moment, disrupting Tamagawa Eisuke's steps.
"Huh?" Tamagawa Eisuke was a little confused. Why didn't the preface match the postscript? Is there something missing in the middle?
In fact it is.
At this time, Kitano Hayato, who was observing the scene outside the porthole, had turned around. Seeing his boss's expression, he coughed lightly: "Miss Bai is talking about the medium through which Ronan's extraordinary power works - Ronan He is a master of 'water control'."
Kitano Hayato was reminding him that his technique was a bit rough, which was also due to the current tense situation. It is difficult for people to care about meaningless etiquette and face anymore. They are straightforward and rarely decorated.
Tamagawa Eisuke didn't quite understand yet, and didn't bother to hide it: "So..."
"He is one of the people with the most profound knowledge of the 'water condensing ring' in the world, perhaps second only to His Majesty the Emperor Wu - the 'water condensing ring' is currently the most efficient configuration technology known to reach down to the level of water molecules."
Bai Xinyan pointed at the mimetic picture of the spiritual ocean, and at the corners, she made some notes based on the changes in the picture: "It is basically certain that every time he 'appears', the water molecules in the atmosphere are extremely active. . The bubbles in the bottled water were more obvious just now, and I was wondering if it was due to some kind of resonance effect."
"..."
The corners of Tamagawa Eisuke's eyes twitched several times, and the bottled water in his hand suddenly turned into a red-hot iron, sticking to the skin and flesh of his palms. It was difficult to pick it up or shake it off.
After being stagnant for a few seconds, Tamagawa Eisuke finally cleared his mind and said almost through gritted teeth: "Then go and ask Nisaka!"
Bai Xinyan smiled and signaled to Tamagawa Eisuke to see clearly the current state of the Pope's puppet - the latter's stiff mummy image was the best reason.
Tamagawa Eisuke took a deep breath... Huh?
Strangely enough, after the previous round of tossing, the atmosphere that had previously made people afraid to breathe has become more lively.
Although the pope's consciousness is probably still watching all this coldly, or he may be silently "keeping accounts", but at least now, he has no intention of blaming, let alone the energy!
hehe!
Whether it's a wonderful realization or a broken jar, Tamagawa Eisuke's chest and abdominal aura has indeed become much more lively. He twitched the corner of his mouth and threw the bottled water back to Bai Xinyan:
"You've been observing for so long and you've come to this conclusion?"
Bai Xinyan caught it steadily, unscrewed the bottle cap smoothly, took a big sip without any scruples, and let out a long breath. She looked like she was drinking a fine wine: "You don't need to observe, you can get it... Since you treat him Come on, haven’t you seen ‘Persona’?”
"Persona? Oh, yes."
Tamagawa Eisuke still has an impression. The target of this intelligence analysis data, named "Personality", is Ronan.
The information came out more than half a year ago. At that time, it was the stage when Ronan was sweeping away the traditional soul theory in the other world with the "cage theory". It was quite popular for a while, but the analysis itself was a bit hidden, and the follow-up was not timely. Gradually, The heat is gone.
The version in Tamagawa Eisuke's hands also includes supplementary research done by the family's intelligence personnel based on various analyses, which is actually more comprehensive than what is on the market.
But what does Bai Xinyan mean when she mentions it?
Bai Xinyan took a swig of mineral water, her eyes twitching as if she was tipsy:
"Ask a question."
"……answer."
"According to the personality mask logic of the data, Professor Luo has three basic faces - rationality, strength and weakness. Which one are we facing now?"
"It's rational."
The answer was not from Tamagawa Eisuke, but the voice of a gnat flowing from the mouth of the pope's puppet.
