Chapter 649 You, Are You the Familiar Mikael?

Click——click——

In the dark and silent workshop, the cold gears turn with precision to materialize the concept of time that does not exist.

So time keeps flowing with the rotation of the gears, and will continue to rotate unstoppably until...

squeak--

The noise of the door being pushed open was like a dull saw, dividing the past and future time into two parts.

A tall figure slipped in through the crack in the door, glanced between the overlapping gears, and then greeted unceremoniously:

"Come out, Velvet is helping Su clean up the data on the Paradise of the Past, and she won't be back in a short time."

Click it - click it -

The rotation of the gears began to slow down, and the slowdown even affected the meshing of the gears. The sounds of collisions were heard from time to time, but they seemed to be deliberately concealing something with such sounds.

Finally, "Vilvi" stepped out from between the gears.

"It's unbelievable. Alicia is really dead?"

After saying this, she shook her head disdainfully.

Before he could say anything else, he saw two more touches of pink in the middle of the silver-gray eyes of the man in front of him. Then the pink continued to expand and the color gradually deepened until it turned into a pair of blood-red cross stars.

"You'd better watch your attitude."

"Oh? So you liberated me from [her] oppression just to vent your anger? Besides, weren't you the one who killed her?"

"You think it's me too?"

The blood red gradually faded from the man's eyes, but those two drops of pink were still so dazzling in [Evil] Velvet's eyes.

"Shouldn't I feel this way? Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else in this place who has such power and the motive to kill Alicia."

"Motive... Well, your view is completely opposite to Ying Jie's. They feel that although I am the most capable one, I have no motive to do that."

"Then please explain to me, why did you free a guy like me?"

The extremely evil Velvet took off her top hat and waved it, her eyes full of amusement.

"In your eyes now, as long as it leads to the ending you want, Alicia's memory is not worth mentioning, right? As for you taking me out of Velvet's body and giving me a body , it can’t be just for me to hide in the workshop and fish, and apart from destruction, I can’t think of any other merits worthy of your concern.”

"Then was then, and the present is now."

Mikael walked around the door of the workshop twice and couldn't find a chair, so he built one himself and sat down.

"Originally, I was just preparing for the worst. Mei and the others returned to the Paradise with great fanfare, and even Mebius was brought back under the name of [escort]. Also brought back with them were a large number of Honkai. A piggy bank. What do you want to do? No matter how stupid you are, you can guess it. What's more, there is another [me] in the paradise of the past. I can feel that the power of erosion has been granted.

"Obviously, the Paradise of the Past is a good place to defeat me. Although it is anchored in the eigenworld, it essentially belongs to the quantum sea where the ultimate power has weak penetration. And this is the world of data. If we let That Mikael became the Herrscher of Corrosion, Considering that before becoming [Promised Land], this world bubble has always been anchored by myself, and it is extremely compatible with my body... The Mikael who became the Herrscher of Corrosion, in this world I am afraid that I will have the authority equivalent to the end...

"But I don't care. I even hope that they can succeed. The reason why I liberated you...to put it bluntly, is just to be a cannon fodder that can cause some obstacles to them."

"Tsk, that really doesn't sound good. But it doesn't matter. It's a good thing to be used by others. At least it proves that you are still worthy of being used, right? Just looking at your tone, something happened to you? Then I Is it okay to mention the status?”

Mikael shook his head, but he didn't know whether this action was to deny what Wei Weiwei said, or whether it just represented a kind of helplessness.

"From the time I entered the Paradise to now, a total of seventy-four hours, no trace of Mikael was found. Of course, this is nothing. Since Mei and the others plan to make Mikael the Herrscher of Corrosion, they should hide him in advance. It makes sense to get up - after all, I am becoming more and more serious, but Ellie's death makes me unable to understand all this."

"snort?"

"I didn't kill Alicia. Although I would indeed do it if necessary, isn't it at least not necessary yet? But Alicia is still dead... It shouldn't be like this. The thread of fate has been Cut off... No, for this Alicia, that kind of thing should not exist from the beginning, right? But who else can kill her? "

"Oh, I understand. You took the risk to see me because you want to confirm whether Alicia's death was caused by me."

"That's true, but since it's not you and it's not me. Then who else has this ability?"

"Why are you telling me this? I just want to make a big fuss and repay that guy's hatred for imprisoning me for 50,000 years. It would be best if I can get something more."

Wicked Velvet put on her hat elegantly and was about to return to the depths of the workshop to continue her lurking.

Mikael's eyes followed her back, but quickly looked away, just talking to himself.

"There are two possibilities, only two. First, the other me lost control after becoming a Herrscher and accidentally hurt Alicia. Second, Mei's plan failed, and the person who became the Herrscher of Corrosion was not the other me. It is now lurking in this world composed of data and may completely destroy it at any time... In this case, I have to respond accordingly.

"And you, all of Velvet's [evil]. Do you think you still need to exist in this situation?"

"After all this time, are you here to get rid of me?"

The extremely evil Velvet squinted and turned around, and Mikael also stood up.

But facing the former's question, Mikael shook his head again:

"I have a brand new plan. If you are willing to help me, I will also give you the reward you deserve - for example, the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion. With that, you can completely break away from Velvet and exist away from the paradise of the past life, and even surpass the paradise and become the real god in this space. "

"Are you serious? "

Evil Velvet took two steps towards Mikael, then stopped, leaned against the wall of the workshop, and looked to one side to confirm.

In response, Mikael just responded calmly:

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Tell me first, what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to use your expertise to help me find the whereabouts of another Mikael. That's it, that's all, nothing else is needed. There's not much danger, and it shouldn't be too much trouble for you, how about it? "

Evil Velvet lowered her head. You don't need to look to know that her face is changing rapidly.

Michelle also leaned against the wall of the workshop, but his expression was obviously calm and at ease.

He was sure that Evil Velvet would agree to the conditions he proposed.

As for the reason?

Because she is Evil Velvet, the reason couldn't be simpler.

The focus is not on Velvet, but on Evil.

Her birth is the personality that Velvet split into by including all the [evil] sides of herself.

Good deteriorates into black and white, but it can outline the different personalities of each person, but if all [evil] is abstracted, it will be the same.

Because it is [evil], it is bound to be greedy. Because of greed, it is bound to be obsessed with the conditions proposed by Michael. It's just such a simple truth.

Sure enough, half a minute later, Evil Velvet raised her head and replied with only four short words:

"I accept it."

"Humph. "

Mikael laughed expressionlessly.

Unfortunately, this was not a contract in black and white, and Mikael knew that everything he said, whether it was the remuneration or the things he wanted the other party to do, was not what he said.

…………

The moment he walked out of the Vivi workshop, the first thing he saw was still the gorgeous dusk.

Dusk...

Another dusk.

The sky burned quietly, but the fire it emitted was not blazing, but warm, jumping through the windows of the ward to the corridors, warm enough to make people unable to stop the laziness in their hearts.

Why is the daytime here set to always be dusk?

Perhaps it is to see the brilliant galaxy faster, but it may also be because of the original When designing... I thought of too many things that happened in the dusk.

At the beginning of the story, he walked out of the bookstore full of the smell of rotting paper, leaving the dead old man behind, holding the cake for Alicia in his hand, and embarked on a road of no return that he didn't know at that time.

Later, he was sent to the street named after dusk. When he went to the hospital for treatment with some minor injuries on his face, Alicia lay on him and applied the iced milk tea she had just bought to his face.

Before leaving Luluye, he also thought about the dusk. What was waiting for humans in the distance next was the rising sun or the afterglow of the setting sun at dusk.

In the city of Brindi, wearing a spotless white dress Alicia stood on a bridge, the light of dusk flowed under the bridge, flowing to a farther place, and Alicia on the bridge handed the brooch symbolizing the circular fate to Mikael, asking him to help wear it.

There are many more... many more...

In any case, dusk carries too many memories. Even if the protagonists are limited to Mikael and Alicia, it is enough to talk about a long paragraph.

Then why does the night here always last at the moment when the full moon is about to fall?

Because I don’t like separation, it must be a full moon.

Because I look forward to the arrival of daylight, so time is the moment when it is about to fall.

Everything is meaningless and ridiculous paranoia.

But Mikael at that time didn’t I would think that 50,000 years later, he would be countless times more paranoid than I could imagine.

It was a bit sad--

Mikael sighed, and his body merged into the shadow and was about to leave.

But before he did so, a pair of hands had already grabbed him.

Turning his head, as expected, the person who came was Hua, Hua's memory.

As the only Yingjie who has preserved his ties in the current civilization, Hua's body did not return to the paradise of the past with Kevin, Mei, Su, and Wei Wei. In fact, because Hua's memory needs to delete memories constantly, the memory of this memory in the paradise still stays at the moment when Hua was awakened by him 5,000 years ago, so naturally there is no recent memory.

So...

Mikael looked down at her hand that was tightly holding him and was even trembling slightly, and was silent for a moment.

He raised his hand and gently rubbed Hua's head, but he didn't expect Hua to take a step back in an instant and keep a distance from Mikael vigilantly.

Then, Hua's next sentence made Mikael tense up all over -

"You... you are the Mikael I am more familiar with, right?"

"More familiar? What does that mean?"

Mikael's eyes narrowed unconsciously, and then quickly bent into two slits. He held his chin with his right hand and asked with a smile.

"Why do you want to play dumb?"

Hua raised his head stubbornly.

"Today you didn't talk to Mobius from beginning to end, as if you were deliberately avoiding suspicion. I only saw the same thing in you during that period."

"Doesn't this just prove that I should be the Mikael you are less familiar with?"

"No, the point is that Mobius has no intention of talking to you... Since that Mikael came to the paradise, Mobius rarely communicated with him, but he would never not even get close to him..."

"Maybe she is just in a bad mood today and doesn't like anyone. Isn't this her daily routine?"

No matter what Hua said, as long as she refused to admit it, she would not be exposed. Mikael thought so and did so.

But what a person says is always less than what he thinks in his mind.

What about Hua? Maybe it is the same.

She seemed to be angry with Mikael's three-dimensional rolling defense. She took several deep breaths in a row, and then with red eyes, she pointed at Mikael's hand that wanted to touch her head just now and said:

"But he never touches my head."

"Is that so?"

Mikael slowly closed his eyes.

He also didn't expect that what really exposed him was just a small action that he had been accustomed to in the past and now.

Rubbing Hua's head was not a habit that he had developed recently, but had always been like this.

But why did the [past Mikael] change this habit abruptly?

Did he know his fate from the very beginning and the meaning of being brought to the paradise of the past, so he deliberately changed his habits to make a clear distinction at this moment?

It shouldn't be. If it is really for the purpose of distinction, there are too many ways to use. If you really want to change the past habits, you don't have to change the part that only Hua can realize.

So, what is the other self thinking in his heart?

Mikael rubbed his eyebrows with his thumb, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Hua was still standing in front of him.

"You exposed my identity, why don't you run? I thought you would inform other Yingjie."

"Gululu——"

The sound of swallowing saliva was too clear, Hua just stiffened his neck and didn't answer.

However, the next moment, she and Mikael reacted at the same time and turned to look at the girl who was carrying a door.

"Uh... that... Mikael, Ahua, I just passed by to buy goods... You guys continue to chat, I didn't hear anything... Hahahaha——"

"Dang——"

Hua pushed Paduo away as quickly as possible, and then drew out the golden sword, narrowly blocking the tip of the gun that almost merged with the night.

"Hua, how confident are you that I will not hesitate to attack. Humph."

Mikael smiled teasingly, and Hua's sword quickly turned into a fist covering his hand, and raging flames began to surge in the air.

"I'm not confident... it's just... I have confidence in you - for you now, no matter what, you will not hesitate or be confused to move forward, I am quite confident about this."

"That's really... Thank you, Hua..."

Mikael smiled gently.

Two minutes, or one hundred and thirteen seconds later, Kevin arrived here first, but all he saw were flames still leaping everywhere, a burnt door on the ground, and Mikael who was standing there in a daze, as if he had seen something incredible.
