Is this really just an RPG? !

I always felt that since I encountered a large wave of mutants in Ingrid City, there would never be any big scenes that could touch my nerves until that moment.

Some mechanism in the ruins was activated by Emily's actions, followed by piercing screams that echoed in the closed room, and zombies that suddenly appeared.

Some are humans, some are monsters, and even other races. At this moment, they all have the same characteristics: bright red eyes, sharp teeth, unable to think but keep making strange noises, almost zero body coordination ability but able to The strange posture moves quickly.

# warn! warn! A large wave of zombies is about to be encountered ahead! #

# warn! warn! Please be brave sow plants quickly! #

…………

well? Why are plants used to deal with zombies?

Can this damn Wendosi system be more reliable at critical times!

The windows on both sides would only flash red light constantly. I gave up using it to get a solution to the situation in front of me. I clenched my only self-defense weapon with both hands and began to think about the possibility of successful escape. Without being able to use magic and props, the only combat power I have is the short sword in my hand. As the only spellcaster in the entire dormitory, I can be regarded as learning a little close combat skills from my three roommates. self defense.

It's just that I think this technology is not enough in such a situation!

"I'm trying to figure out how to solve the current situation. How long can you last?"

Emily asked me suddenly.

"At this time, you still think about doing calculations?!"

"Otherwise, what else can we do!"

"Think about a better way to get out!"

At least you can use magic after leaving the ruins, no matter what, it's much safer than the current situation.

"I don't think it's so easy to leave. Look at the entrance when we came in."

"Eh?!"

Looking in the direction Emily pointed, I realized that a light blue light curtain appeared at the entrance of the corridor, which was obviously something like a magic barrier, that is to say, before the barrier was resolved, We can't get out of this closed room.

I retracted the short sword into its scabbard.

"So, what kind of help do you need when doing your calculations?"

"Well, it's a little bit special, you probably understand it as my inherent attribute."

"..."

"Why don't you ask me a question? I'm ready to explain, and Neil, don't you know that when important people explain, time will be stopped, and all enemy characters will not be able to act?"

"Where did you hear about the strange setting!"

How many times has this person encountered this situation, and he is still so calm now!

By the way, those zombies really follow the setting, as long as Emily speaks, they will not move, it's too weird!

"For another position, the number of these guys is increasing."

"It will actually increase."

While complaining, he followed Emily to the corner and squatted down. This position can be said to be the most hidden place in the entire ruins, and it is also the most difficult place to escape. There is a solid wall behind it, and milkstones on the left and right sides. Once found by the group of zombies, it is very likely that they will be blocked here.

But there is no better choice now.

"Although there is no way to use magic power, it is still possible to perform calculations."

"How to do?"

"Let's understand it as a method similar to the calculation of the magic circle. Anyway, my family said that I was as annoying as a magic stick when I performed the calculation."

"It's really a straightforward explanation..."

I took a deep breath, moved a bit and drew out the dagger again, then turned my back to Emily and stared ahead. Zombies kept appearing in the center of the ruins, but because the surrounding area was not too bright, I still haven't figured out how those zombies appeared. It doesn't seem to crawl out of the ground, nor does it seem to be teleported, as if it was directly created by someone in this place.

Let's hope Emily's calculations will be quicker.

"So I started?"

"As soon as possible, please."

"I try my best."

Emily said so.

"Qissociate spirit. [Mind detachment]"

"Switch dimension.【Two-sided switching】"

"Calculation, start. 【Calculation start】"

"oh!"

At that moment, I suddenly understood what Emily meant by "calculation", and why I could enter this mode even when I couldn't release magic. The three incantations that Emily uttered in a low and toneless voice just now were not used to drive magic power, but a kind of self-suggestion.

To put it simply, [Mind Detachment] is telling oneself to throw away subjective emotions, [Switching Two Sides] is to switch to a purely rational personality to perform calculations, and [Calculation Start] is an order, because after receiving the first After being hypnotized by a spell, Emily has lost the power to control what she does.

All she can do is tell her rational side what to think about.

It shouldn't be too long... right?

etc!

What's going on with the magic circle under your feet!

Self-hypnosis can also release the magic circle? !

The visual effects are over the top!

"Sister? Sister! Emily!"

"Calculating, starting to collect clues 'Reincarnation', 'Catherine', 'Ruins', 'Forbidden Land'..."

"Wake up! Such a big light may attract... Well, it's not possible, it's certain."

I swallowed, and gave up trying to wake Emily up.

It was obviously just a simple hypnosis, and Emily used the most basic language hints, but the result came with such spectacular special effects... Isn't there no way to use magic here! Why is this person able to deploy the magic circle very smoothly? I can even feel the obvious flow of magic power!

The zombies that were just swaying randomly began to gather.

"I don't really want me to use this short sword to deal with it!"

I observed the strength of the zombies in front of me, then looked at the dagger in my hand and my arm, and silently made a cross in my heart.

[Sister, if you don't hurry up, we can choose to die directly! 】

"...The calculation is complete."

"Eh!"

"It's probably clear. Wait! Didn't you agree that you would be the bait to lure these zombies away! Why are you still standing here!"

"How can there be such a thing!"

Why can this person talk about selling teammates so seriously!

If I really go to lure the zombies away, I will see a corpse after her calculation is over!

"So let's run away quickly after the calculation is over!"

"Even if the calculation is over, I only know the general situation, and there is no way to solve it directly!"

"It's better to hide and talk than to stay here."

Without thinking, I picked up Emily and ran towards the direction where there were fewer zombies.

Maybe these guys are just more sensitive to light, because the zombies gathered by the light of the magic circle did not continue to chase Emily and me. All the way back to the entrance along the wall, I reached out and tried to touch the magic barrier without giving up. As a result, I felt an electric shock and subconsciously withdrew my right hand.

# HP-1 #

A system dedicated to destroying the atmosphere at all times is really enough.

"That, the result of the calculation?"

"Huh... let me take a breather."

Emily doesn't look very well.

She was obviously more physically fit than me on the way here, but just now she seemed to be exhausted when she suddenly accelerated and ran for a certain distance. Could it be because the previous calculations cost her too much energy?

I let go of her wrist, took a few deep breaths with my back against the wall, and raised my head to look at the corner before.

The group of zombies gathered there looking for something, and they probably won't leave for a while.

"Catherine, she is responsible for reincarnation. This is the relic she left behind, so it is related to reincarnation."

"Then?"

"Reincarnation represents a cycle, and the appearance of these zombies represents that this cycle was broken in a certain position for some reason, and this kind of dead can't be reincarnated, and can only survive in this world in this ugly posture."

"So we have to find a way to fix this cycle?"

"If you have the ability to send these zombies to be reincarnated, you don't need to make it up, just remember to do it once in a few years."

Emily said so, and showed me a loving smile.

I really want to kill her.

"Thank you for your thoughtful explanation, can you tell me how to fix it?"

"Hmm... can you see the patterns formed by those stone pillars on the ground?"

"Barely, it seems to be a circle and a semicircle."

"To be precise, it's two circles. As a metaphor, it's probably something like this."

Emily said so, and puffed up her chest.

…………

Is this guy really a woman?

"Don't you think it's very vivid, the symbol of two circles pasted together."

"Can you put your meat ball aside, it should be a semicircle with great aesthetics, but it has become vulgar in your speech and behavior!"

"I'm sorry, it's all because I became vulgar. Even so, you can't escape the fact that you have made 'bad comments on beautiful girls' breasts'!"

"That's what you asked me to evaluate!"

"I just want to tell you some facts through reference!"

"..."

I looked at Emily seriously until she squinted in displeasure.

"Feelings?"

"So tell me what you want to say."

"goodbye!"

"I'll send you to the zombie pile immediately and see you again!"

Why on earth am I arguing with such a person about femininity in this situation! Especially under the premise that the other party is a woman, I don’t care about giving this kind of evaluation instead of trying to confuse the topic. Either my brain is hollowed out or the other party is very poisonous... According to Emily’s characteristics Looking at it, I think the latter is more likely.

Even though he didn't fight at all, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Let's not talk about this." Emily reached out and patted my shoulder hard, then raised her head to look at the milkstones emitting azure blue light above, "Have you seen those milkstones, the prisoners who imprisoned Mana are also considered One of the reasons for breaking the cycle."

"What?"

Can a stone be a criminal?

I don't understand what Emily means.

"No matter where the mana will be active, the difference is the degree of activity, but this kind of thing does not exist here, because all the mana is controlled on those milkstones. So, before I smashed the stone pillars on the ground with gravel It will lead to the appearance of zombies, probably the seal was very reluctant, and then it will be destroyed more thoroughly."

"Bar?"

"I haven't figured out the specific situation yet. Why did we just encounter these things when we got here? I haven't figured it out until now."

The result is still suspicious.

I rubbed my brows with a headache. The zombies gradually spread out, and without a target, they wandered randomly throughout the ruins as before, and the magic barrier at the entrance still showed no signs of dissipating. I don't know if it's my illusion, but a dark red light can be vaguely seen among the stone pillars on the ground.

I always feel that Emily said so much without any useful information.

"It's just that you haven't thought about it at all."

"Sorry, I can't figure it out!"

I answered very bluntly.

Emily also looked away decisively.

"The figure formed by the stone pillars is the 'Moebius ring'."

"Doesn't that mean 'infinity'?"

"Have you forgotten the definition of Moebius ring?"

"…………All right."

Although it is said to represent infinity, because the Moebius ring is a ring structure that can be infinitely looped, it can also be interpreted as reincarnation from another angle. That is to say, the figure formed by the pile of obstructing stone pillars in front of me is actually a Moebius ring, but for some reason, part of it was completely destroyed, leaving only a circle and a semicircle.

Simple and clear to understand.

But I still don't understand how to make it up.

"It's not about supplementing the graphics, but finding a way to fill the entire ruins with mana."

"?!?!"

I feel like I'm out of my mind.

I was still talking about the Moebius ring in the front, and I was talking about Mana in the back.

So can you finish it all at once?

"It's impossible to pinch a few stones together, so we can only think of a way from a more partial angle. Since this is a relic left by the gods, there will probably be special energy, so most of the relics left by Catherine have self-healing properties. The ability, as long as there is enough magic power."

"Where do you want me to find magic power!"

"Isn't it above!"

Exactly what Emily said.

Each of the large luminous milkstones above has a huge amount of magic power stored in it. As long as the magic power is released, the magic power can fill the entire ruins.

I still seem to have a way.

"Do you still have the sample stone?"

"Stone pillar?"

"Of course I want milk stones!"

"Too much..."

Why does this guy get so petty in such a strange place!

I weighed the milkstone in my hand and took a deep breath.

Recently, the use of supernatural magic has been increasing.

"Activate magic power."

"Destroy constraint."

"Develop the magic circle."

"Element charging."

"Establish the conceptual structure."

Because my supernatural magic can drive the surrounding mana, it can also be used to drive the mana in the milk stone, and half force them to leave the milk stone and gather them in my hands.

"Overclocking Resonance【Overclocking Resonance】!"

The black energy beam disappeared after flying a certain distance. A moment later, white light shone from the center of the ruins, and the white light became stronger and stronger and exploded, filling the entire ruins. As if something was being smashed, there were constant "cracking" shattering sounds in the ruins, mixed with piercing screams.

When the white light dissipated, the entire ruins returned to the original silence.

——As expected of the residence of the gods, the quality is good, but there is no way to "Boom" to produce some special effects.

"Don't you even think about blowing up your teammates!"

While complaining, Emily lifted the magic shield, and then released a [Illumination Spell], causing the ball of light to rise into the air.

The missing part of the Moebius ring was completed, and the magic barrier at the entrance disappeared.

"Compared to thinking about these... Is it done now?"

"Good job."

"Give me a break, please."

After hearing Emily's affirmation, I sat on the ground and gasped.

If something happens again, I'd better choose to sit and wait for death.

…………

anyway.

What about my academic tests?

※ ※ ※ ※

Don't use magic casually in the forest, it is easy to attract monsters, even if no monsters are found at that time, sooner or later you will encounter them.

I have a deep understanding of this.

"I just wanted to go there quickly, so I didn't think about this kind of thing!"

"Sister, you are too much! Hurry up and find a way to get rid of this guy."

I complained like this to the girl next to me.

After finally dealing with the matters in the ruins of Catherine, I have to face a huge dog-shaped monster when I come out. Although I don't know its name, it can be inferred from the previous battles that this monster has a powerful destructive ability, and its claws can easily tear the barrier; secondly, its fur has a high anti-magic effect, at least I threw a bunch of magic scrolls on it and it was unharmed.

Emily told me that as long as she could get it under control, she could fix it.

So I did what she said and forcibly restrained the monster with a magic chain.

Then Emily went to study the stone slabs brought out from the ruins.

above board research.

It's as if me and the monsters don't exist.

"Sister!"

"Okay, okay, I know!"

Emily finally put away the mess, held the staff tightly with both hands, and looked at the monster seriously... But to be honest, if she doesn't move, I'm not sure if she can continue to control it, the monster The intensity of the struggle gradually increased. Although I tried my best to strengthen the hardness of the chain, I obviously couldn't keep up.

"Let's end it with one blow."

"In this case, you should act quickly!"

Emily pointed the tip of the staff obliquely at the ground, as if she was about to hit someone with the staff.

"Reactive thrust acceleration! [Reactive thrust acceleration]"

At the same time as the explosion sounded, Emily rushed towards the monster.

The speed is too fast, coupled with the light effect produced by magic, it looks like an incoming meteor.

"Recycled magic! 【Magic secondary formula】"

"Comet lunge! [Comet Direct Strike]"

Compress the magic power at the top of the staff, and hit it hard on the head of the magic dog. In an instant, the struggle from the chain disappeared, and the magic dog's head hit the ground heavily, but there was no bloody scene of spraying out blood.

The body of the magic dog began to petrify after the head was separated, and then shattered, leaving only a piece of rubble on the ground.

"Crush, crushed stone?"

I suddenly remembered the pile of rubble in front of the gate of the ruins.

"It seems to be the same guy, the guardian of the ruins."

"I see."

Before, I really thought it was the guy who was attracted by Emily's random use of magic.

If it is the guardian of the ruins, it is understandable to attack us. After all, Emily and I have entered the ruins and made some big moves in it... Although I think my actions are not harmful! But these guardians don't have the ability to think, they are just formulating the orders they receive.

"Wait, that's not right."

"Um?"

Emily, who was squatting next to the gravel to investigate, suddenly made a sound.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at this."

I walked over and looked in the direction Emily pointed. It was a piece of gravel, which should be a part of the magic dog's body, but this piece of gravel was different from other gravel, it kept the shape of a sphere, and the surface seemed to be polished, as if to reveal that "this is the whole The core part of the magic dog" such information.

"The core?"

"It's not just that simple, look here is a symbol."

"Symbols... signs are right."

"You are right in saying that."

A symbol was engraved on the round stone, a pattern composed of a circle and a semicircle, exactly the same as the pattern seen in the ruins.

It's just that the patterns in the ruins have been completed now.

"Warren..."

"Sister?"

"No, no, it's nothing." Emily's seriousness flashed across her face, and she quickly returned to her usual look. She threw the boulder to me, and then stood up, "This thing when you hand in the semester test It’s fine for things, I think I can get a passing score, so that’s it! Let’s go back to the academy quickly.”

"Is it just a passing score?!"

Although I didn't plan to ask for many points at the beginning.

But... Warren?

I should remember the pronunciation of Emily correctly, it may have something to do with this strange symbol.

【Ask Qiuqiu if you have time? 】Thinking like this, I followed Emily's footsteps.
