Chapter 49: Fellow villagers meet and stab each other in the back

It was obvious that Cheng Xiaoyu had run out of things to talk about. Xia Youjie used the word "extrovert" to make the whole dinner introverted. The three of them didn't say anything else for the rest of the time, and after the meal, they went their separate ways.

Considering that Geto Suguru was suspected by Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro, in order not to drag down the already unlucky Geto Suguru, Cheng Xiaoyu planned to pretend to be a normal person traveling to Beihua, and even paid for a room in a motel out of her own pocket.

The best solution was to have Huiyuan Xiong send her outside Beika Town, and then she could sneak back in. However, because Cheng Xiaoyu had been banned by Beika Town before, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be banned again after leaving, so she had to stay.

She tried to help Geto Suguru hide it, if she couldn't, then so be it, anyway, Geto Suguru was an officially certified sorcerer and not an illegal resident, she just wanted to help reduce some misunderstandings since Geto Suguru had helped her before.

As she opened and closed the door, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, Cheng Xiaoyu began to check the work logs of the Dark Killer Four over the past ten years in her mind, looking at the saved version of the plot she fast-forwarded.

In addition to Gojo Satoru turning into a human-like walking badminton and staying in Tokyo High School as a teacher, Yaga Masamichi becoming the current principal of Tokyo High School, and Fushiguro Megumi enrolling in Tokyo High School...in addition to these things that Cheng Xiaoyu expected, there are also some incredible changes.

Geto Suguru adopted the Zenin twins. The elder sister, Zenin Maki, is now a sophomore at Tokyo High School. Zenin Mayi, Mimiko Nanako, and Fushiguro Miki attend a regular high school together, though they also take on spellcasting missions to earn some pocket money. Haihara Yuu later dropped out of Tokyo High School to focus on science, and now, with Zenin Mayi, he's secretly developing spellcasting tools that keep up with the times...

Cheng Xiaoyu asked the dark killers in her mind: [Is there a higher-dimensional creature behind Xia Youjie's adoption of the two sisters from the Zen Temple?]

Otherwise, is Tokyo Jujutsu High School some kind of Feng Shui treasure land, so children pop up in pairs like mushrooms in the ground?

Fuku: [No, we've been regularly monitoring key personnel data as instructed. This was Geto Suguru's own initiative. According to Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru encountered the twins while visiting the Zenin residence to show off Fushiguro Megumi. He felt their talents could be put to good use, but would be lost if they stayed at the Zenin residence, so he approached Geto Suguru. The Zenin twins have been close to the Yoga twins and the Fushiguro siblings over the years, training in spells together and growing up together, attending the same elementary and middle schools.]

Zhou Zerui's comment: [Perhaps Geto Suguru was destined to have twin sisters. Those two little girls' families are pretty awful, so it's a good thing they were adopted.]

.......That's true. Anyway, as long as there is no conspiracy from higher-dimensional creatures, no danger, and it does not lead to an increase in his overtime hours, Cheng Xiaoyu is too lazy to pay attention to other people's personal lives.

Compared with these, Cheng Xiaoyu cares more about whether the second high-dimensional creature is still as repulsive to her as before. This will determine whether her next action will be successful or not.

Now the No. 1 high-dimensional creature is showing signs of activity again. The fact that Cheng Xiaoyu has not banned the No. 2 high-dimensional creature does not mean that he does not want to. It is more likely that he has no extra energy to confront his own kind after pulling Jiang Gutian over. This is why Cheng Xiaoyu must come to Beika Town during this time period, just to take advantage of the opportunity.

Just as the calmest spot in a typhoon is the central eye, higher-dimensional beings can indeed game the rules, but they are also constrained to a certain extent by the rules, especially the rules they set themselves. Under this premise, the extent to which they can trip up Cheng Xiaoyu is limited.

Therefore, when Cheng Xiaoyu was at Tokyo High School, the No. 1 high-dimensional creature could only go on a rampage of helplessness and rage, blow up the beverage machine to gag her with the noise, and use the high-level people in the magic world to divert her attention and trip her up. Therefore, the No. 2 high-dimensional creature did not make any obvious moves before Cheng Xiaoyu entered Beika Town, including now.

In order to defend against these "creatures" from higher dimensions, people in some worlds will specifically write things like "Rule Weird Stories" to remind their peers not to provoke them or fall into traps.

That's why Cheng Xiaoyu was so speechless when she discovered there were two higher-dimensional beings in this world, because this meant there were at least two unknown, different sets of rules...

Faced with this situation, Cheng Xiaoyu and No. 233 could only be forced to be open-minded.

However, Cheng Xiaoyu and No. 233 are not the only ones who are forced to be open-minded.

Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai saw "Umekawa Kuko" check in at a convenient hotel and never went out again.

If it were somewhere else, the first reaction of a normal person might be to go to the hotel to check the ID card registered when checking in, but the problem is...

Not all hotels in Japan require real-name registration and online information synchronization. Moreover, Japan does not have resident ID cards or household registration books like most countries... Many hotels just ask for your name or sign your name at the front desk, and then pay and check in without any verification.

This means that even if you use a fake ID, there is a high probability that you will not be discovered. Otherwise, when investigating the organization members, you can directly check their hotel registration to find out their true identity.

Moreover, there are not many police cameras in Neon, even fewer outside Beika Town, and even fewer around the small hotel on the street. Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai could not find out when "Umekawa Kuko" left the hotel the next day.

They didn't expect that Cheng Xiaoyu didn't leave the hotel by taking the outer road.

Since this person's identity could not be found for the time being and she posed no threat to them for the time being, and there was not even clear evidence that she was a member of the organization, Toru Amuro, Shuichi Akai, and Conan Edogawa gave up the idea of ​​continuing the investigation.

Amuro Toru retorted, "I've never heard of anyone like this in the organization. That woman isn't necessarily an undercover agent. She might be using a pseudonym and be a special person in charge of the Special Operations Department under Geto Suguru. I think you FBI members are being overly suspicious."

Conan Edogawa tried to smooth things over: "I'm sorry, Mr. Amuro, I asked Mr. Akai for help. After all, the occasion and behavior of her appearance were a bit suspicious."

Akai Shuichi: "It's always better to be cautious. And you can use this opportunity to confirm the identity of Geto Suguru, who you had been suspecting. It's not a loss for you."

Amuro Toru turned around and walked away angrily, glaring at Akai Shuichi fiercely before leaving: "Don't get carried away, even without this opportunity, I can confirm his identity."

......

After leaving the hotel, Cheng Xiaoyu went to the mountain that was transformed by the higher-dimensional creatures. When she reached the top, she raised her hands before the fog enveloped her. "No, no, I just want to have a good chat. I mean no harm! Look, I found your original body and didn't send you back immediately. Can we chat?"

The spreading fog stagnated, forming a "?" in the air, and the remaining thin mist formed two faded "X" and "√".

Discovering that this second-dimensional being was willing to communicate, Cheng Xiaoyu was ecstatic: "You mean you can only answer yes or no later?"

The white mist forming the “√” solidified instantly.

Whatever it is, it’s good to be able to communicate!

Cheng Xiaoyu: "I noticed that you don't have as strong a desire to control your territory as your kind. So, is it possible that if a key figure achieves a certain outcome you want to see, you will leave this world?"

The white mist swayed, floated to the "√" option, and then quickly ran to the "X" position to condense it instantly. A wisp of white mist extended out, as if pointing to something.

Cheng Xiaoyu noticed that the direction seemed to be the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, and suddenly remembered that the two high-dimensional beings had been confronting each other before: "Are you trying to say that after you see the ending you want to see, you will not leave until the other guy leaves?"

High-dimensional creature No. 2: √

Cheng Xiaoyu tried to reason with him, "This world is very fragile. It can't withstand the overflowing power of you staying here for long. It would be fine if you could fully control all the rules of this world, but this world itself is mixed, and it contains many rules from other worlds. You can't... huh?"

The rapid replenishment and fading of the white mist caused the "√" sign to flash wildly, with a frequency faster than the light bulbs in horror movies.

Cheng Xiaoyu: "...Do you want to destroy this world? Or rule this world by force?"

This time, the "X" and "?" were almost flashing out of focus, and a wisp of white mist was pointing to Cheng Xiaoyu's right hand.

Recalling the previous intelligence, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly had a guess. She tentatively asked, "You have no intention of destroying or endangering this world. If you don't believe me, can you sign a document with me?"

The frequency of the flashing "√" made Cheng Xiaoyu reasonably suspect that if there was such a key on the keyboard, it might have been punched through by him.

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Are you worried that another high-dimensional being might endanger Beika Town and Jianggutian, so you don't want to leave?"

High-dimensional creature No. 2: √

I'm definitely worried!

After all, they had fought for territory in the early stages, and later when they decided to divide power, land and time periods to stay in this world, they shared their goals and scope of activities with each other. Of course, he knew the "script" that the other high-dimensional creature was thinking about.

It's just... how should I put it, out of courtesy and cooperation, he doesn't really want to comment on other people's scripts, but that so-called "script" is too... Anyway, he will never let his masterpiece stay in the same world alone with this guy!

Beika Town and Ekoda are his hard work, how can he hand them over to that evil guy!

Cheng Xiaoyu: "...Do you know why Huiyuan Xiong came to you before?"

High-dimensional creature number two:?

who?

The leaves on the mountain rustled, and the high-dimensional creature No. 2 was very confused. After a while, he finally had some clues.

This question was a bit complicated and could not be answered with a simple yes or no, so a wisp of white mist penetrated directly into Cheng Xiaoyu's forehead, along with an "answer" that could not be described in words or pictures.

Thus, Cheng Xiaoyu finally got to know a little bit about what the second high-dimensional creature had seen and heard.

At that time, the second high-dimensional creature had agreed to take turns with another guy. He was accumulating strength and almost sleeping while slowly calming down and integrating the chaotic timelines of Beika Town and Jiangkotian, so he had no impression of his surroundings.

Before that, another guy had come to remind him that an outsider from another world wanted to forcibly send them away and destroy their "masterpiece", so when this woman came, he threw her into the past timeline, and when he implemented Jiang Gutian, he expended a lot of energy to exclude her.

While in the dormant period, the high-dimensional creature No. 2 also maintained a certain degree of vigilance towards the outside world. He remembered that during this process, he had lost two creatures that ran towards him in a daze and emitted wavelengths that did not belong to this time and space. One was the woman in front of him, and the other... might be the Huihara Xiong mentioned by this person.

At that time, the high-dimensional creature No. 2 was like a person whose keyboard was occupied by two uninvited little beetles. He just flicked the two unfamiliar beetles to a farther place to avoid them affecting his work. He didn't pay attention to what the beetles looked like or what they were called. He was too busy to pay attention to why the beetles ran into his house.

"...I've got a surprise for you," Cheng Xiaoyu said after deciphering the message. "The 'Beetle' was lured here by your good friend. Most likely, he's using me as a tool to kill you so I can get you out of here first. The abnormal space-time wavelengths you sensed from the local resident, Huiyuan Xiong, are probably the work of another guy."

The misty white fog is almost still, like a PNG texture.

...backstabbed!

The second high-dimensional creature woke up from his dream.

I knew that guy was mean, but I didn't expect him to be so mean!

If these high-dimensional beings had an industry, such shameless and bad guys would be ridiculed and scolded by their peers!
