"I should have just happened to run into the US military's nuclear test on the Pacific Islands."

Lu Yi casually opened another space-time door, and at the same time, his mind began to analyze the situation he had just encountered.

Based on his daily knowledge of reading online novels and studying history, assuming that the opposite side is also the earth - after all, coconut trees and other species are exactly the same as the earth - and at the same time suffered a nuclear explosion, there are not many people on the earth who meet these conditions at the same time.

.

The most likely possibility is probably the nuclear explosion experiment conducted by the Americans in the Marshall Islands in the last century, especially the most famous Bikini Island.

The famous Crossroads Send Your Wife to Heaven event, and the Bikini Island that was hit by 60 nuclear bombs, these are all evils done by Americans.

Of course, other possible scenarios cannot be ruled out. After all, the number of countries that have conducted nuclear tests can be counted on both hands, but there are no less than eight.

But Lu Yi believes that at present, he is most likely to run into the American hydrogen bomb experiment. After all, the environment opposite is obviously a tropical ocean island climate, which can rule out more than half of the countries.

"It's a pity that it's not a crossroads. Otherwise, my sister-in-law and Ogengen could still try to steal it. Well, that's too much."

Historically, during Operation Crossroads, the U.S. military used three atomic bombs instead of hydrogen bombs. According to the feedback from the time-space gate when it first automatically defended, what he encountered was an explosion with a yield of more than one million tons of TNT. This kind of

The scale is by no means the power that a small-sized nuclear bomb such as an atomic bomb can achieve, because an atomic bomb, even an enhanced Russian nesting doll atomic bomb, has an equivalent yield of 300,000 tons of TNT, which is good enough.

Since it was the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, it means that my sister-in-law and the others had already gone to heaven, oh, they were diving.

After gathering his emotions, Lu Yi looked at the door he had just opened, temporarily named Space-Time Gate No. 2.

The world opposite Time and Space Gate No. 2 made Lu Yi feel a little relieved, because the high-rise buildings and the busy traffic opposite were obviously a modern urban environment. If nothing else, this environment made people who had just experienced a nuclear explosion

Lu Yi felt particularly cordial.

"No, you can't be anxious yet. What if the opposite side is a modern world view where multiple races live together (everyday monster girls live together), or there will be zombies running rampant soon (Resident Evil), or there will be some catastrophe (Independence Day, etc.)."

Lu Yi prepared for the worst. Having just narrowly escaped death, he decided that unless he had a certain ability to protect himself or was sure that the opposite world was absolutely safe, he would never easily cross the space-time gate.

After looking at the world opposite Time and Space Gate No. 2 for a long time, Lu Yi could only confirm that Time and Space Gate No. 2 is currently in a small alley on the street that may not be crowded. Thanks to this, no one has noticed Time and Space Gate No. 2 yet.

As for other news, only through the fleeting silhouettes of passersby, it was confirmed that the world opposite should be dominated by humans, and there were no strange alien races.

Just when he was at a loss and didn't know whether to go over and check the information himself——

"Oh, what a chance encounter."

Suddenly, a deep middle-aged man's voice came from outside the space-time gate No. 2, and because the other person should be stuck right behind the mirror of the space-time gate, Lu Yi couldn't see the other person at all.

"...Sorry, I'm rude, is this the front?"

Perhaps because he didn't get a response from Lu Yi, the voice continued awkwardly but politely. Moreover, a man dressed like an old London gentleman from the last century slowly walked to the front of Time and Space Gate No. 2, and smiled slightly at Lu Yi. Bow down.

The other person is a thin man who looks a bit older, with two gray beards under his nose, an old-fashioned round cap on his head, wearing a gray suit and a dark tie, similar to those seen on the streets of London in the last century. The visible office workers are just as ordinary.

However, judging from the fact that the other party was not surprised when he saw the Space-Time Gate and could be treated so calmly and politely, it seemed that the other party was not an ordinary person.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yi was not sure whether the other party would leave when he could only see the mirror of the space-time door with spiral smoke and received no response for a long time. Lu Yi, who did not want to give up collecting intelligence, spoke.

"Hello."

"Oh, is it Chinese? Is it a friend staying in the outside world in that ancient country, or a compatriot of ours wandering there?"

Stay outside?!

This name sounds familiar. Have I heard it somewhere?

Hearing a familiar name in the old gentleman's reply, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that he was not talking about the name of the gathering place where human helpers assist the Fire Mist Warriors in the world of Shana, the Shakugan. .

Fortunately, Shana's anime was one of the anime that impressed him the most, and it was also the anime that he followed crazily back then. Otherwise, he would not have been able to remember such a small setting.

However, this means——

Looking at the old gentleman opposite, his face seemed like a passer-by just now, but now he looks more and more familiar.

Lu Yi swallowed, calmed down, put aside the absurd mood that he had opened a time and space door to the two-dimensional world, and asked in a strange tone: "You are Lamy, no, you are Nancy Lian?" "

Opposite the time and space gate, the corpse picker Lamy, who had long been prepared to escape and use the free method, or you can also call her the Red World Apostle of Spiral Organ Lian Nancy, the old gentleman shell she used to disguise herself slightly opened her eyes: "Oh yeah , could it be that he is an acquaintance or an old friend? Your free method is really weird. I can’t sense any other information except visual inspection."

So that’s it, did you mistake the time and space gate for some kind of free law? No wonder the body picker Lamy, who is known to be timid, didn’t run away immediately but came up to talk to him out of curiosity.

While analyzing, Lu Yi quickly recalled the Shana anime in his mind.

In short, let’s put aside the plot of high school students in Japanese comics who finally save the world, and let’s talk about the background setting. The main background of the anime Shakugan no Shana is a world called Red World adjacent to the earth. The residents there are greedy for the present earth, including but not limited to the environment, weather, humanities, art, etc. Everything on the earth makes the Red World obsessed with them.

However, the Red World disciples are not existing in this world. If they want to exist on the earth, there is only one way, and that is to eat the "existence" of human beings and obtain the power of existence.

Originally everything was beautiful, but the people of the Red World who ate away at the power of human existence remain in this world, and humans cannot remember the people who ate away the power of existence.

But some people in the world have gradually discovered that this is not without cost.

When a human being is eaten, it is not simply death, but his existence is invalid and has been wiped out from the beginning. The impact this has on the world is huge. If the existence of too many people is eaten, then sooner or later there will be

One day the earth and the red world will be finished.

As a result, some conscientious members of the Red World signed a contract with humans, and stayed in the container, giving the contracted people power and becoming fire mist warriors who specialized in fighting against the Red World members who ate humans.

Since the first Fire Mist Warrior appeared in ancient times, and from ancient times to the present, the battle between the Fire Mist Warrior and the Red World Apostle has always occurred outside the sight of most humans.

Well, after all, it was an anime I watched a long time ago. This should be almost Shana’s background. As for the subsequent plot development and the characters’ love, hate and separation, Lu Yi briefly went through it and found that it was of no use to me now.

After all, the old gentleman in front of him is just a supporting character in the plot.

He, or his real name is her, whose real name is Spiral Organ Lily Nancy, whose pseudonym is Lamy, and who is known as the Corpse Scavenger. For a certain agreement, not only will he never eat the existence of human beings, but he will also only collect all the remains after the existence of human beings has dissipated.

The little bit of power of existence that escapes when the fake torch finally disappears.

To be honest, if Nancy Lian was not a super genius and a super powerful master of existence, even her existence in this world would not be possible, let alone relying on collecting this power of existence to finally realize her wish.

But relying on his genius-like research on the law of existence, Lamy is basically the only person in the world who can exist alone in this world without relying on others, and there is no harm to it.

A certain red demon king who lives and sleeps with Zero Hour Mystery goes aside.

"So you didn't run away immediately, but came over to talk to you. This is also because your exploratory spirit as a freedom-of-freedom researcher broke out?"

Lu Yi, who came to the final conclusion, looked at the curious old gentleman across from him speechlessly. Well, after knowing that the other party was a very cute short-haired lolita, let alone looking at the old gentleman, he felt that his features were more delicate.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would encounter the existence of the third world besides the current world and the red world."

Lian Nannan adjusted the hat on top of her camouflage shell. After a brief conversation with Lu Yi, she learned that this time and space gate was a world-traveling gate that connected the red world and the third world beyond the present world. She was very happy now.

She was indeed happy. After all, by collecting a little bit of the power of existence that overflowed when the torch dissipated, she could not fulfill her promise to see the painting until the Year of the Monkey. Now that a new world had appeared, there might be some turning point.

What if the chickens, ducks, cows and sheep on the other side can also provide the same power of existence as humans? What if the opposite side has a large amount of unowned power of existence? What if the opposite side has Dragon Balls that can grant wishes.

Lian Nanxi, who had made an agreement with her old friend not to eat humans again. For a certain wish, Nancy Lian embarked on the scavenging journey, which was derided as a corpse scavenger. At this time, she was deeply grateful that her curiosity had just overcome her.

I was cautious and did not run away immediately, but chose to talk to the being behind the boundary gate.

Of course, Lian Nanxi did not completely believe Lu Yi's words, especially before Lu Yi did not intend to come over in person.

However, after Lu Yi chose to restrain the fog on the time and space gate and Lian Nanxi was able to see Lu Yi, the two sides at least had a little bit of mutual trust.

After all, Lu Yi understood Lian Nanxi's character, and Lian Nanxi also gained some trust through Lu Yi's actions, and the two sides started talking with this limited mutual trust.

"Your world is also an earth. It's really strange that there are two earths."

"Two earths are nothing. I just met another earth. This makes three."

"I really envy you for being able to see so much of the world."

"I still envy you. I just realized that you don't speak Mandarin. This free method is really amazing."

"Of course, I am the master of freedom method!"

Lu Yi looked at a serious and serious old gentleman with some amusement, but now he was doing a pose with his hands on his hips like a little girl showing off. It was obviously so against the rules, but when he thought that the person doing this action was indeed a little lolita, Lu Yi was left with nothing but I felt like "Ah, so cute".

However, after realizing that Lian Nanxi was using the free method called the word of expression to communicate with him, Lu Yi suddenly realized that although the world of Shana in the Shakugan was dangerous, it also had many opportunities. For the sake of other people in the future, In exploring the world, this word of expression is a very useful spell.

After all, not everyone in the world speaks Mandarin.

The only problem is...

"It's a pity, although I am also willing to teach you the free method of expressive words - after all, this free method is too simple, and it is not a secret skill. But the problem is, how do you pay for the power of existence that is consumed?"

"...Can you lend me some?"

"How dare you borrow money from a loli who makes a living by picking up garbage?!"

Okay, sorry.

Scratching his head, Lu Yi was really a little embarrassed. After all, Lian Nanxi, a little lolita, was already frugal to this point. She only hid in XC every day, just picking up some garbage to eat. It was indeed too much to borrow the power of existence from the other party. .

"Besides, I have to leave too. I've been chatting with you for a bit too long. The lunatic behind me is probably going to catch me."

Pursuing soldiers?!

Lu Yi discovered a blind spot! Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Lu Yi quickly spoke and stopped Lian Nanxi who was about to leave.

"How about we make a deal?!"

"What deal?"

"I'm here to ensure your safety, and I promise you that once you find a suitable world in the future, it will be open to you to obtain enough power of existence."

Nancy Lian, who looked like an old gentleman, blinked and said curiously: "What's the price?"

Although he really wanted to say "all this" to tie this well-behaved little loli with golden thighs to his side, Lu Yi still knew what was good and what was good.

"You have to teach me the Dharma of Freedom and provide me with limited power of existence for my use."
