Chapter 365: Lady Erika...?
Although Erina was eager to go in and see what the other world was like, she had to admit that what Yoshiyuki said made sense.
Therefore, when there was no cell phone signal, the two had to turn back and go out to find the police.
The road back is much more difficult than when we came here.
Because sliding down the rope is not at the same level of difficulty as climbing up the rope.
Especially the eldest lady is still unable to crawl by herself.
She didn't have the skills to pull a rope up to a high place.
This led Yoshiyuki to think that after carrying her on his back and climbing the rope twice, it would be better to climb up first and then throw the rope down.
In this way, as long as the eldest lady holds on to the rope and doesn't let go halfway, he can easily pull her up.
It took them a while to get back to the entrance.
When the police saw the two returning safely, they cheered.
Especially the weird investigator took a deep breath and looked relieved.
He couldn't wait to come and ask the two what they had discovered.
So Erina told him everything they saw.
The eldest lady emphasized that special attention should be paid to the water of the underworld during the investigation.
She said that the underworld water here could not be eliminated, but she sealed the curse they released, so it was safe to enter and investigate.
Be careful not to touch the water there, let alone drink it. Otherwise something very terrible could happen.
The strange investigator expressed his understanding of this, and at the same time he was very sad about the experience of the investigation team that went in earlier.
After expressing his gratitude to the two people again, he proposed that the next investigation on the other side of the portal would be left to the police.
I hope that the two witches from Underworld will go back and the rewards will be transferred to their accounts after the incident subsides.
Erina offered to investigate another world together, but was declined.
He said that exploring other worlds was too dangerous, and as long as they had other options, they would not let students take risks.
Since the other party answered so firmly, Erina had no choice but to go back reluctantly.
On the way to the portal, Yoshiyuki comforted Erina and whispered so.
"Miss, I suddenly had a new idea."
"What?" Erina was still in a very low mood: "Have you come up with an idea that can convince them?"
"That's not the case. I was just wondering, could this big earthquake be caused by Erika-sama?"
"How is that possible!" When Erina heard what he said, she immediately shouted angrily: "Erina-sama wouldn't do that! It would kill many people!"
Yoshiyuki: "Although it is true that some people will be sacrificed, she may be trying to tear apart this mountain range so that the ancient city of Il can be discovered? Only in this way can we solve the strange dream syndrome."
Yoshiyuki: "In fact, you can't remember what Erika-sama said to you, can you? Even if Erika-sama said it was the address of the ancient city, and you remembered it and took it seriously, then you don't have the qualifications The power to tear apart mountains.”
Yoshiyuki: "Even if you ask for help and others believe it, you still may not be able to destroy the mountain and discover the ruins in time."
Yoshiyuki: "To put it bluntly, Erika-sama's chance to affect reality is probably limited, so she can only take the safest and most direct method. Therefore, she chose to use an earthquake to tear apart the mountain range... If we follow this line of thinking , what Erika-sama said is no longer important.”
Erina: "..."
Erina: "Because as long as you discover the ancient city, that's enough?"
Yoshiyuki: "That's right."
Yoshiyuki: "So what Erika-sama said basically told you to go there to find a solution to the strange dream syndrome."
Erina: "Well..."
Erina: "It seems to make sense, but it always feels a little weird."
Erina: "I think that sentence should be more important and cannot be ignored. But I can't figure out what it is..."
Erina: "Perhaps Lady Erina is still waiting for us in the ruins? For example, deep in the water of the underworld..."
Yoshiyuki: "Miss, I don't think it's possible."
Yoshiyuki: "You have a strong connection with Erika-sama. If she is really so close, you should feel something, right?"
Yoshiyuki: "But you didn't feel anything when you were there, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come out with me like this."
Erina had to admit that he was right.
Indeed.
But she still felt very unwilling.
Erina wanted to see what was inside that portal.
What kind of world will it be?
This issue was raised at the Tuanzi Club meeting held at Yi Xing’s home that night.
Everyone used their imagination and came up with their own ideas.
These discussions lasted for two days and one night.
Everyone is looking forward to the results of the police investigation into another world, so that the strange dream syndrome can be solved quickly.
Everyone feels that they have no chance to see what the other world is like.
...But this was soon proven to be a complete mistake.
After school on Friday, Yi Xing received new contacts.
It was from Tamako Shimizu again.
She said there was an emergency and asked the two of them to go to the office as soon as possible.
Although he hasn't heard what happened from the chairman yet, Yoshiyuki can basically guess the specific situation.
He must have discovered that this other world is quite dangerous and needs their help.
Moreover, most of them encountered the pollution of Huangquan there and were unable to deal with it.
Yoshiyuki's guess was half right.
Shimizu Tamako’s explanation is this.
The police started taking action the night Erina lifted the curse of the underworld water.
Initially, they wanted to use magical summons such as intelligent robots and living paper men to go in and see what was going on, but they lost connection as soon as they passed through the portal.
So, they spent a whole day carefully searching the explorable area of the ruins, hoping to find documents to understand the world beyond the portal.
For example, what is it like over there, what dangers are there, and whether some kind of magic is needed to protect people who enter the portal...
But no relevant information was found at all. It would take too long to dig out the ruins and find documents in a place where even an excavator could not enter. The raging strange dream syndrome made it impossible for them to continue delaying, so they had to bite the bullet and send people. On.
So, the police sent a different world exploration team to enter.
But just like when they first investigated the ruins, everyone who the police entered disappeared.
The original agreement was to exit immediately after entering the teleportation gate, so that people outside knew that the teleportation behavior was safe and that they could come and go with confidence.
But they seemed to be swallowed up and never returned.
The police had previously considered that the portal might not be able to be used continuously and could be entered and exited immediately, so they waited for a period of time.
...However, they did not come back after twenty-four hours.
