Chapter 208 Time is Coming
"So why are you here?"
Kawahara looked at Baluba with a unhappy expression.
Facing his question, the smile on Baluba's face seemed to become a little more mysterious, and then she looked in the direction of the locker and said, "I came to tell you something."
"explain."
"God will never give up his hatred for the power of light. If you want to deal with Him, that card can take you where you want to go." Baluba said softly.
Kawahara's eyes moved slightly when he heard this.
--card?
The only card he currently has that can be used as power is the "Time Arrives" card that he took from Odin in the parallel world.
But let’s not talk about how he can use the “Advent Card” without a “V-buckle” belt. Now he is more curious about what purpose Baluba has in returning to Tokyo.
Kawahara looked at her expressionlessly: "What do you mean, and where did you know all this?"
However, Baluba just smiled, still with an ambiguous look on her face.
Kawahara raised his left hand without hesitation, and then found that there was no black metal on his wrist. He then remembered that his weapon had been knocked away and he had forgotten to pick it up...
"Even if you don't have that thing, you should be able to use it. You can only use it now. After all, you can no longer use your light power."
Baluba suddenly finished saying this and then stood up: "That's all I want to tell you."
She turned around and prepared to leave, but Kawahara stopped her again: "Who asked you to tell that?"
Baluba paused and turned to look again.
"do not know."
"..."
Looking at Kawahara's suddenly cold gaze, Baluba pursed her lips and curled up her habitual smile, and said again: "I don't know, I just got this revelation one day."
So one day I returned to Tokyo.
Every time Baluba does something, it seems like she has some purpose but also seems like she is just doing it casually.
Just like at this moment, she suddenly spoke again.
It seemed as if he just suddenly wanted to say something.
"I found the answer I was looking for. The Kikiru Game is no longer necessary because the sacred and great festival of the Gurongi clan has lost its function."
She gave an ambiguous smile: "Perhaps it's just like what you said at the beginning. The existence of our Gurongi clan has no meaning. We were born just as [combat weapons], and there is no other reason."
After saying these words, Baluba took one last look at Kawahara, whose expression remained calm, then turned and walked out of the ward.
Click…
The ward door opened and closed.
Although the ward fell into silence again, Kawahara still heard the noise coming from outside.
……
"Number B1?!"
Caught off guard by the woman in white walking out of the ward, Xun Ichijo pulled out his pistol reflexively and looked at her warily: "What exactly is your purpose this time?!"
However, Baluba just glanced at him casually, smiled habitually, turned around and left without saying anything, not caring at all about the gun pointed at her.
Ichijo Xun frowned and watched her back disappear around the corner of the corridor.
"You didn't shoot this time~"
At this time, a teasing voice came from the side. Ichijo Xun glanced at his best friend who was forced to work by him with a displeased look, turned around, opened the door of the ward and walked in.
Since B1 just came out, Kawahara should have woken up as he expected.
"Officer Ichijo...eh? Doctor Tsubaki?"
Kawahara looked at the door and greeted, but when he saw Tsubaki Hideichi, who was wearing a white coat, coming in behind Kaoru Ichijo, he was actually stunned.
"you are not……"
"I was originally in Berlin, but was called back with the reason that 'I have to come back to see a certain guy no matter what'! After all, things have come to this, so I can only ask for leave from there first." Chun Xiu spread his hands and said.
"..."
Kawahara was speechless, and Kaoru Ichijo next to him also felt a little embarrassed.
After hearing about Kawahara's plan, Kaoru Ichijo suggested calling back Tsubaki Shuichi. After all, as the "exclusive doctor for unconfirmed life forms", Tsubaki Shuichi knew the physical conditions of people like them best.
But Kawahara felt that it was unnecessary... and he even found a doctor for himself before committing suicide.
strange.
Kawahara decided to skip this question: "What is the current situation? How long have I been unconscious?"
"It was just one day. Although I'm sure your belt was broken at that time, you didn't enter the state of suspended animation like before."
Chun Xiuyi said this and suddenly touched his abdomen.
Then he approached him mysteriously and said, "Although when I examined you, the stone seemed to be gone. But considering that you have transformed again, I guess it is because the stone has already dispersed and merged into every part of your body, right?"
Kawahara pulled his hand away with a frown on his face.
Tsubaki Hideichi stroked his chin and continued, "So, even if the belt is broken now, it won't have any impact - you can rest assured now."
He turned around and said the last sentence to Kaoru Ichijo.
After hearing these words, Kaoru Ichijo, who saw that Kawahara was fine, finally relaxed completely.
"That's good."
"How are Tsugami and Ashihara?"
Kawahara suddenly asked.
"After it was over, I sent them both here with you." Kaoru Ichijo said and looked at Tsubaki Shuichi.
"Oh~ Are you talking about those two 'Agito'?"
Chun Xiu said with shining eyes: "It's really interesting. In addition to Godai and you, there are other humans in this world who can transform. Although their mutation methods are different from yours, the power to transform the body is very similar..."
He looked like he was about to immerse himself in the fresh research samples, and Kaoru Ichijo had to slap him back to his senses: "So where are the people I gave you?"
Tsubaki Xiuyi then said seriously, "The kid with the silly smile on his face did wake up this morning. He said he was going back to weed the vegetable garden and left. But the other person may not be in good condition."
As for the person who is not in good condition——
No need to guess who it is.
Kawahara even felt accustomed to this, as if he was watching himself fighting monsters with low health.
So he skipped it as usual.
"In that situation, just let him recover on his own in two or three days and he will slowly get better. But about the situation at that time, can you tell me in detail? I always feel that I was out of control and did something..." Kawahara said with a frown.
"Ah, at that time you... this matter..."
Kaoru Ichijo actually looked away, avoiding the question.
After a while, he turned around and said to him: "In fact, it can be said that all the things were solved by B1, including the battle on the scene, the "Tower of Wrath" you summoned, and what happened at that time..."
Kawahara was a little surprised when he heard this: "Baruba? She was involved too? - What did she do?"
"Time is coming!"
Ichijo Xun said seriously, "After I stopped your actions, she used a card to reverse the changes on the battlefield. The "Tower of Fury" disappeared directly because of this method. It was as magical as if time was reversed! She said that the card was "Time Arrives"!"
Kawahara listened to him in a daze, then suddenly realized something, quickly walked over, opened the locker in the ward, and took out his jacket.
From the inner pocket of his coat, he pulled out a card with a silver-gray clock pattern on the front.
But when Kawahara saw this card, he was stunned again.
Since this card is still with him, where did the "Time Comes" card in Baluba's hand come from?
Could it be that this world has merged with another...
Wait! That's not right either!
The Time Advent Card should make the time of the entire world completely "flow back" to a new point in time, but according to what Kaoru Ichijo said, the time at that time did not seem to reverse the fact that he was hit in the belt by Kaoru Ichijo.
And if there really were monsters in the mirror world, and if there was an infinite cycle of time flowing backwards, he felt that Black God would be the first to explode with emotion...
It is even more impossible that Baluba would be still alive and standing here after using up "Time Coming".
So Baluba must have used another method.
Kawahara breathed a sigh of relief as he felt that he didn't have to integrate another chaotic world. Then Kaoru Ichijo stared at the card he took out and was stunned.
"Hmm? You have one too, the card she used seems to be the one you have in your hand."
Kawahara again: "..."
