non-human secret history

The name "Honmaru" that exists in the middle of several barriers is the place where the legendary Shizheng faction established in the year 2205 of the Western calendar agreed to lend them power like Hikekiri. In fact, for these fusangshen who exist beyond time, it seems that there is really no place more suitable for them than here.

The battle against the "Historical Revisionism" and the "Time Retrograde Army" who try to modify history often does not require Higakiri and them to take action. After all, the number of enemy troops confronting them and the wide range of radiation are definitely not the same as this Honmaru. The dozens of fusangshen in the area can handle it. The so-called use of their power is more often the use of their spiritual power to awaken the ghosts of dungeon swords in the many "honmaru" under Shizheng.

"However, Shizheng also equipped us with this guy for the time being." Hikakiri pointed to the strangely shaped machine behind him: "Well, occasionally we need to deal with some special situations."

"Oh, oh, is it really good to talk about this kind of thing in such detail?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga put the knife on his shoulder, reminding him as if vigilant, but there was no seriousness in the golden pupils. With a bit of inexplicable joy: "Even if he is the master of the past—"

"Isn't it pretty good." Another gentle and laughing voice said, "Since Hikariden judges that this ghost girl is trustworthy, we outsiders naturally don't have to comment."

"Xiaoqian's words don't matter." Higakiri smiled brightly at me: "This time, Xiaoqian was taken here with the acquiescence of the government of time. After all, it has a lot to do with it. explained."

While speaking, the expression on his face suddenly became more serious. After a short pause, he looked at me seriously: "It's not Xiaoqian's fault this time."

This is the second time he has said that.

"What?" I was still puzzled.

"It's not Xiaoqian's fault that it attracts inspection violations." He Qie said: "The inspection inspection system is very rigid when judging changes. Obviously, many times those changes are simply ignored. Besides..."

Having said that, the man narrowed his eyes.

"Because the development of history on this time axis is not a straight line."

"What does it mean?"

Unfamiliar words made me feel at a loss.

"Well... this is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. In short, although time is constantly moving forward, if you look outside this timeline, there will be small branches at some time nodes. If there is no decisive change, These branches will return to the original trajectory at another node, so that at least the history recorded on paper has not been changed."

"To put it simply, the time axis of Xiaoqian's encounter with that man and the time axis recorded on paper are originally two parallel lines, and these two lines seem to have intersected with each other since the Heian era."

I scratched my head, only to feel more and more confused.

The description of time and space is really obscure, and many doubts arose in my mind for a while, but I didn't know where to ask.

Mustache probably also saw the confusion in my heart, but he didn't explain in more detail, but just shrugged lightly and said: "The things involved here are really complicated, I will explain it to you slowly when I have free time. Yes. Xiaoqian just needs to know that what happened in the past is beyond your control, and you don’t need to blame yourself for those results, that’s enough.”

In such an atmosphere, it is not easy for me to continue to ask questions.On the side, Tsurumaru Kuninaga took the opportunity to jump out and raised his arms excitedly: "Well, well, compared to these troublesome things, it's rare for guests to come to our Honmaru, so hurry up and gather everyone and hold a meeting Have a grand welcome!"

Only then did I understand what was going on with the joyful expression he had been wearing since before—as a sword that had been silent and boring for thousands of years, Tsurumaru Kuninaga seemed to especially like lively scenes, and this Honmaru obviously wouldn’t have it on weekdays. The kind of excitement that can satisfy him, so he showed a special welcome to my arrival.

But unfortunately, his enthusiasm only ushered in a bucket of cold water from his teammates.

"This place can be regarded as a place for serious 'battle preparations'. Besides, there have been a lot of abnormal actions of retrograde troops and non-violating officers recently. I'm afraid it's not the time to hold such a banquet." A young man with short green hair While talking, he raised the corners of his lips gently: "Well, although if we want to take this opportunity to have a good time, Da Baoping will definitely be happy."

The light in Tsurumaru Kuninaga's eyes dimmed slightly, but he seemed unable to refute Yingmaru's words.

But soon, he set his sights on Fu Sangshen of the long boat family wearing a black blindfold.

Being stared at by him like this, Candlestick Qie Guangzhong had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "... Well, no matter what, there are always guests coming, at least some decent dishes should be served to entertain."

"Oh, is Guangzai here to prepare the dishes?" Tsurumaru's eyes suddenly lit up again: "Then let me help!"

I wanted to say that there is no need to mobilize so many teachers for me.Even though I still only have a half-knowledge of what they are doing, I can tell from their words that they probably don't have more time to be distracted by things like receiving me right now.

But looking at Tsurumaru Kuninaga's appearance, I still couldn't get my words out.

"Actually..." Higakiri said again: "The current affairs are also paying attention to this matter, although this time did not involve any major incidents, but there is still a risk of shaking the 'fundamental existence' of this world. "

"There are still no conclusions about the current affairs of some details. The flow of time around here is different from the outside, and there is not much difference between earlier or later. Xiaoqian might as well stay here for a while."

In fact, I really wanted to ask Higiri what they were fighting with, but I couldn't ask.After a short thought, I nodded.

After going through the dream-like time in the past, maybe I should also calm down my mood-but now is a good opportunity.

It was only when I was sitting in the room that Hikiri had prepared for me that I realized that I seemed to have an important doubt that I had never verified with Hikiri.

I took out the small wakizashi from my pocket.

This is undoubtedly my weapon. The appearance and carving technique of the family crest on it cannot be imitated, and the weak spiritual power that can resonate with me around the knife shows that this is what I lost in the Ghost Killing Squad before. the one that--

But why does it appear here?

I don't think Hidekiri would specifically go to negotiate with the Ghost Slayer Squad. Although Higakiri is Fusangshen, in front of the Ghost Slayer Squad who knows little about these ghosts but has a unique spiritual perception, he Whether you can gain the trust of the other party is another matter, let alone speak for me.

But he did get my knife back.

Such solitary contemplation was futile, and I was well aware of this, so I decided to go directly to Higakiri to find out.

But before I walked out of the door, someone knocked on it first.

"Brother asked me to see if there is anything you need here." Said the young man in a black loose sports suit standing at the door.

"Obviously I have made such detailed preparations, if there is anything dissatisfied, I will be too difficult to serve as a guest." I raised the corners of my lips and greeted him with a habitual and friendly look: "Long time no see Yes, Thin Green."

The young man with thin green short hair was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have realized something, and said suddenly: "Ah... It's true, Miss Qian Ya has probably spent a long time... "

I just remembered that Higakiri once said that the flow of time here is different from that of the outside world.

I smiled brighter: "Well—after all, I haven't seen you for a while, so it's okay to say 'Long time no see'."

Hearing my nonsense, Kagemaru was silent for a while, and finally half-forcedly replied "Long time no see".

Compared with the gentleness and tactfulness of Hidekiri, Keimaru is always more straightforward. Although he is trying his best to maintain the dignity and elegance that he should have as a Heian nobleman's saber, when he encounters such a joke-like situation, his face can't be bothered. The embarrassment he hides always makes him look very cute.

It's no wonder that Mustache always couldn't help bullying him.

"Speaking of which, Bolu, you came at a good time." Restraining my joking thoughts, I finally remembered what I was going to do: "I'm going to find Hikari, do you know where he is?"

"Brother's words..." Katsumaru prolongs his tone with some hesitation, as if he is thinking about whether such information should be disclosed to me, but it is probably because Hikiri told him something, or because he is the treasure of Genji , and I am tentatively considered a member of Genji, although it is not the sword that protects me, but it is still somewhat related after all.

Anyway, he still has trust in me.

"Still negotiating with the commissioner sent by the current affairs." Knee Maru said.

"Is there a problem?" I suddenly became a little nervous.I always feel that Higakiri is negotiating with the so-called current affairs at this time, mostly because of my business.

"It's just the most basic report." Katsumaru's eyes drooped down, and this reaction told me that what he said was not completely honest at the moment—but he wouldn't really lie to me either.I think he just wants to hide some content that can't be explained to me. I always have the same trust in the face of this Genji's treasure.

After a short thought, Kagemaru explained again: "My brother probably explained to you that the timeline of the past is not static, and everyone's accidental choices may cause small branches of the timeline. And these The branches are always influencing each other, once one of them completely deviates from the original trajectory, it may cause the entire space built on this time axis to collapse.”

"The battle between Honmaru under Shizheng and the time retrograde army is to ensure that the history under each branch is going in the original direction. And the number of branches is quite large, so Shizheng will choose to let the god-inspector summon the spirit. It's not us who are involved in these battles."

"But this time..." When he said this, Kenmaru paused for a moment, but he didn't stop there, but continued: "In fact, the impact of your backtracking on the time axis can be ignored It’s not counted, but in fact, the history on that timeline has indeed undergone some uncalculated changes—this is also the reason why inspection violations occur frequently.”

"But these are not caused by you. Although I haven't investigated what's going on, there must be someone else in the middle."

"And the person behind the scenes is our real enemy."

The author has something to say:

Roughly the definition is this:

The overall flow of time is not a straight line, but a plurality of mutually influencing lines whose curvature at each point is not necessarily zero, and each line has mutual influence.

Space is uniquely developed on the time axis based on subjective existence. Simply put, it admits time branches but denies parallel spaces. I know this is really too idealistic, but it is to ensure the uniqueness of the male and female protagonists.

The influence of the timeline of the unexpanded space on the subjective space is reflected in dreams and memories, that is, the content in the memory may not necessarily have occurred in the current space, but the possibility of occurrence exists in different timelines on the same timeline.

Combined with the content of the article, the timeline experienced by Yamei does not follow the time flow in a straight line, but twists and turns in the order of Taisho-Heian-Taisho-Warring States-Taisho. The first time Yamei saw Boss Xiao was The first meeting in the true sense, and then the timeline went to the Heian era, so after the name is used to unlock the seal, the boss will have memories of bullying Yamei, and so on.

It’s a very troublesome but a little difficult to understand setting, and there may be bugs in it, but I can’t control my brain circuit QwQ
