Chapter 987 [Chapter 6] 1
When Liu Quan regained her senses, she found that she had returned to the resplendent "Endless Palace".
Liu Quan:? !
She rolled over and sat up from the cold floor, looking around.
...That's right, it's the same hall that she returns to every time she changes the world.Although it seemed a little more ornate than the last time she left here, there was no doubt that several doors appeared side by side on the wall directly opposite her-each door had a different name and name written on it. The serial number—has clearly reminded her that she was transferred back by the system bacteria in the middle of the mission!
Liu Quan was a little confused for a while.After a short period of doubts, I began to feel a little ridiculous.
"What did you call me back for?!" She didn't get up in a hurry, she just sat on the ground, stretched her legs, put her hands behind her back, and raised her head towards the equally resplendent ceiling.
"Didn't you ask me to support the government of the time as a foreign aid?" There seemed to be some sarcasm in her tone. "I think I'm doing pretty well, don't I?"
The voice of the system bacteria rang out after a moment of silence.
【certainly.You've done a pretty good job—you've even been able to attack the former generals.The courage of the government of the time really exceeded our expectations? 】
Liu Quan: "You——!"
She almost blurted out something she shouldn't have said; fortunately, her reason finally played a role when the incident happened, she bit her lower lip tightly, no longer looking up at the ceiling, but stood up with one hand on the ground stand up.
"...Let's talk. Suddenly I was pulled out of there like this. Something terrible must have happened?! Then tell me quickly. I'm not in the mood to listen to your cynicism here—speaking of it, you used to What about the unlocked [Attitude Pack]? Feed the cat?"
The system bacteria seemed to choke.When it spoke again, it was obviously trying to suppress a trace of anger in its voice - I don't know if it was a provocation against Liu Quan, or some other out-of-control situation.
[Indeed, we have monitored that some unusual events have occurred. 】It seems that it has decided to skip the little thorn in Liu Quan's words and go directly to the topic.
[The time government appointed you to fight Utsunomiya Castle, there are some problems. 】
Liu Quan:? !
Having just recovered from the painful fact that I was forced to shoot Mr. Hijikata, wounding him and taking away his almost-attained victory, and now hearing this shocking news, she felt There was a buzzing in the brain.
She couldn't believe that her subconscious mind straightened her back, and blurted out: "...Could it be that I didn't perform this mission well?!"
The system bacteria paused for a second before answering her, as if carefully considering his words.
【No. ] It finally answered.
[Although your execution process cannot be said to be perfect...but the final result of the mission is beyond reproach.You sabotaged the plans of the Retrograde Time Army, and you reversed the course of history just in time for a moment of reversal--for which we still appreciate it very much. 】
Liu Quan: "...Is your praise useful? Is the government of time dissatisfied with this result? Why did this mission go wrong...?"
The system bacteria interrupted her hundred thousand whys.
[If that period wasn't a big loophole that could be taken advantage of by the Time Traveling Army, then why would the Government of Time take the risk of sending you, a god-inspector with a Shinsengumi background, to carry out the mission? 】Its tone is calm and cold, with a certain sense of mechanical rationality.
Liu Quan:! ?
[Unfortunately, your mission was completed well.However, the government of Time should have started to fix that time sooner. ... Now, the evil consequences of their inaction have been shown, and extended to other places——】 System bacteria said.
Liu Quan felt a little dazed for a moment.
"However, Utsunomiya is a daily routine task..." She said hesitantly, "It will really... Uh, I mean, is it really that powerful?"
The system bacteria sneered.
[If the government of the time is so wise and mighty, why would it need to discuss cooperation with us and borrow our outstanding employees? 】It smiled sarcastically,【Even the daily task map is not clear from the special era that has been polluted by the time-traveling army, those old guys should reflect on it. 】
Liu Quan didn't have time to savor how much information was revealed in the words of the system bacteria, so he only grasped the biggest point and asked eagerly:
"...So, the era I went to was not an ordinary era of daily tasks, but... a special era that has been polluted by the time-traveling army?!"
The system bacteria snorted.
【certainly.So it is really unwise to say that the government of the time wants to use those conventional means to correct it-it is completely causing trouble for us. 】It complained, and then explained a few more words to Liu Quan.
[The era that has been deeply polluted by the time-traveling army cannot simply be like this——er, how did you say that? "Treat the head for a headache, treat the foot for a pain in the foot"? ——In short, although it was the era of the Battle of Utsunomiya that the abnormality appeared at the beginning, the pollution and destruction plan of the time-traveling army has actually been delayed for decades—this is all because of the initial delay of the government of time Time, sloppy fixes!If they could have sent elite judges to correct the anomaly and carefully investigated the situation in the subsequent years of that timeline, we would not have needed such trouble! 】
Liu Quan couldn't help sighing when he heard the system bacteria complaining louder and louder.
Well, she sort of gets it now.
The government of time is responsible for history, and the system bacteria probably serve those sub-worlds of the same people.This kind of thing has happened before - a tainted subworld invades other extremely unstable subworlds that have problems to be fixed.Now that the system bacteria are so angry, cursing the government of time for its stupidity and inaction, maybe the timeline that went wrong has affected the sub-world it governs?
She tentatively asked: "...So, if there is simply a deviation in history afterwards, you just need to urge the government of time to repair it-so, you recalled me halfway, could it be that...they failed Has the fully restored historical timeline affected any unstable sub-world?"
A series of mistakes and high-pitched accusations made by the system bacteria against the government of the time came to an abrupt end.After a moment of silence, it reluctantly admitted: 【Yes. 】
Liu Quan: "Oh... Then everything makes sense..."
System Bacteria: [Let me just say it straight.On that timeline, due to the oversight of the government of time, it has been deeply involved and damaged by the time retrograde army.Although the Battle of Utsunomiya has been restored, our investigations revealed that the timeline after that is still partially different from the historical facts, and, recently, there was a period of time that unfortunately merged with a certain sub-world under our monitoring, causing a huge misalignment... We've sent several players to fix it, but it took a while to get it fully back on track.However, the poor development of the situation has made us decide that we cannot wait any longer. 】
Liu Quan: "Oh..."
System Bacteria's voice sounded more rigid.
[In other words, there are still some events within a specific time period, which are unstable factors and require you to take over and deal with them.You are recalled because you have repaired the Battle of Utsunomiya on this timeline, and you have repaired multiple mission worlds on our side before, so you are a mission candidate acceptable to both parties. 】
Liu Quan's inner OS:? ? ?Why is it a game between the two sides to do a restoration work now?So I'm the one who got pushed out in a compromise?In addition, the battle of Utsunomiya was indeed handled by me... It's like sitting in Honmaru, and the pot came from the sky? !
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Liu Quan felt that the system bacteria sounded particularly unhappy this time.
[The situation is not difficult to control...but it becomes difficult to control when various reputations and interests are involved. 】it says.
[Moreover, the tricky thing is that although we have locked the time period when the problem finally occurred, the Government of Time only informed us that during the time period of the problem, they also had an excellent subordinate secretly sent In the process of secret restoration, it is impossible to withdraw, and we cannot tell us the other party's real name and disguised identity. 】
Liu Quan: "What did you say—?!"
This time she was genuinely surprised.Because this has never been seen before.In the past tasks assigned to her by the system bacteria, almost all the other task executors on her side were removed, and the traces left by the previous failed repairs were also cleaned up; so although the tasks she took over were a mess every time, but The advantage is that no one is holding her back.So every task she performed was very happy and smooth.
Now, what she has to face is not only the unprecedented "unstable world where the historical era merges with the sub-world", but also a local mission executor whose information is unknown? !
Counting it, she and the other party not only belong to different factions, but the actual content of the mission may also be different—for example, they are both to repair the last HP sub-world that was not very successful. The mission she received was about Severus Snape's, but someone else may be tasked with Sirius Black or James Potter; more seriously, it may be Tom Riddle - in this case, the positions of the two task executors may be opposite!
She couldn't help muttering: "Are you kidding me...?! If you don't know the situation, if the positions are opposite, will you still have to fight the other party to the death...?!"
System Bacteria's voice sounded cold and solemn.
【exactly. 】
Liu Quan:? !
She raised her head in astonishment, and subconsciously scanned the hall for a week.
System Bacteria continued: [Since the government of the time has ignored our position, then let us deal with the troubles they caused us with our own methods. 】
Liu Quan: "... I always feel that your words sound a bit scary?"
Her ridicule didn't make the system bacteria sound relaxed.
[The current plan is this. ] It began to assign new tasks with a more serious attitude than usual.
[The time period you want to repair is ten years after the end of the Boshin War, the Southwest War. 】
[During this time period, there may be a mission executor sent by the Government of Time, but we don't know the other party's real name, real identity, disguised identity during this time period, and mission content. 】
[Therefore, you must be extra vigilant against the existence of this person and be vigilant at all times.In the meantime, complete your mission. 】
[We also know that the environment of this mission is very harsh, but this is a mission that you may not be able to successfully complete if you don't take action.So, I have no choice but to ask you. 】
[If we learn any information about the other party in the future, we will also notify you in time.But for now, it's all up to you. 】
Liu Quan: "..."
What else can she say?Is it none of my business to say I'm sorry?
...And, during the Battle of Utsunomiya, she had already shot Mr. Hijikata with her own hands.Now, there is no more difficult thing to knock her down, right? !
This timeline is the time that still extends after Mr. Hijikata, who was hit by her, fell down and after his life ended.
You can't sit back and watch the time retrograde army pollute it, and finally get to the point where it can't be dealt with——
It has to be fixed.Because that is the future Hijikata-san is fighting for.
The voice of the system bacteria sounded again.But this time, Liu Quan felt that its voice was no longer so cold and ruthless and annoying.
【Liu Quanjun. 】It said solemnly.
[Everything please.The content of the task is not difficult, but the environment is extremely harsh... I think the person who can complete it well is none other than you. 】
Liu Quan grinned and smiled slowly.
"That's right," she replied.
"Leave it to me. I can't just sit back and let those scum wantonly destroy it... because this is the time Hijikata-san fought for... It's the history that I can repair by breaking my heart."
