I really only stop

This is "isolation and helplessness" in the true sense. I thought that the moment I accepted "magic nature and intellectuality", I was ready to get used to facing everything alone, but now, when I really have to face this moment now ——

"—I really didn't expect that there would be a time when it was necessary to plan with Yushia and the others as imaginary enemies."

Just when Claire forced herself to calm down by eating a small cake, she suddenly heard the person in front of her say:

"Time is running out, let's think of a solution together."

"……Eh?"

One, together?

Why [together]?

"The cake is stuck to the corner of my mouth."

Can't help but look at Claire's stupefied appearance, Lu Xi reached out and tapped the corner of his mouth.

"what!"

Realizing her gaffe, the girl quickly stuck out her little tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, then lowered her head in embarrassment.

Even so, she still asked the question in her heart:

"It means [together]... Could it be that Lu Xiqing also wants to come together?"

"Huh? I'm a cadre like you, so why not use it?"

Pretending to be surprised and raising her eyebrows, Lu Xi wanted to leave:

"If you don't need it, I'll leave. Don't worry, I will pray for you from the bottom of my heart—oh, what are you pulling me for?"

"……on purpose."

Tightly grabbing the sleeve of Lu Xi who was about to leave, the girl who had completely seen through his thoughts lowered her head and snorted inaudibly:

"Obviously I said that time is running out, but you still play tricks on me at this time... Lu Xiqing, you have a bad heart."

"Huh? What are you talking about, Sir Claire?"

He said a question sentence in a tone that anyone could hear, but a smile appeared on the corner of Lucy's mouth:

"I don't need to say much if I'm touched. As a well-known Luda virtuous person in the city of Laine, the merits I accumulate every day are enough to become a Buddha instantly—ah, and..."

Listening to Lu Xi's ramblings that didn't look like a hero who rescued a troubled girl, Claire obviously wanted to let go of his hand, but for some reason she held it tighter. .

When he said [the same is also a cadre], his tone was very natural, and it made people very warm.

I feel very strange in my heart, unlike the [heartbeat acceleration] phenomenon mentioned in the book, on the contrary, this feeling seems familiar.

It seems that when he and Lu Xiqing activated the composite demonic nature——

----------------

"I have an idea."

"please say."

"...It really is impossible to have the classic scene in Hollywood movies [I was stunned for a second, then shook my head frantically 'NONONONO']."

Sighing inaudibly, Lu Xi cleared his throat:

"This matter may not be that complicated. You also know that I have the ability to teleport in any space, and this ability will not be affected by magic circles like [Forbidden Magic] - the plan is very simple, I will teleport to The top of the tower, take the orb and send it back. It won’t even take a moment, it’s absolutely convenient and fast. As long as you can guarantee that the [fake] won’t cause any loss to the imperial capital after getting out of trouble, it will disappear and run far away If so, I can help you."

Using the time-stop ability to steal things is in the true sense [not even for a moment]. In Claire's eyes, Lu Xi might just raise his hand, and the target orb would automatically appear in his hand.

Except that he really felt sorry for the undercover girl just now, this matter itself is not difficult for Lu Xi at all-this is one of the reasons why he just offered to join.

However, Claire, the holder of [Intellect], shook her head and rejected this simple and straightforward method:

"I can assure you of the latter point. Although the counterfeit is a dead child who does his own way, he is just playing tricks to tease the foolish and rich people—unfortunately, Lu Xiqing's method should not work."

"why?"

Unexpectedly, she would be answered like this, Lu Xi was slightly taken aback:

"Don't think it's easy to say, I thought about it carefully, and there shouldn't be a single flaw in this plan."

Simple is often best.The more steps in the plan, the greater the chance of problems in implementation.

"Although this is the case in theory, it is only [in theory]."

Sighing slightly, Claire said:

"The magic circle my father set up in the Great Library is not [Forbidden Magic], but a powerful [Magic Tracking], which means to avoid direct confrontation, and bite the enemy tightly to death when he flees and feels that everything is safe. .Even if there is an enemy that can move in space, my father can quickly lock the opponent according to the fluctuation of magic power."

"I thought you were going to say something, so it's this~"

The heart that Lu Xi raised just now returned to his stomach:

"Relax, our [Space Movement] is an upgraded version with no cooling and no consumption. Don't talk about tracking the magic circle, even if Mr. Memphis arranges a +999 strengthening Xiaotianwang sauce next to the orb, it will definitely find it. Leave no trace of me."

It won't leave the so-called [magic power trail] at all, our version of 'space movement' purely on two legs.Although it is very Muggle, the advantage is that those great magicians can't match it.

It's true that no one can track something that doesn't exist.

"Oh, that's all I want to say..."

Sighing heavily, Claire's expression became serious:

"Lu Xiqing, the reason why you can't use that magical space to move is precisely because of your unique [invulnerability]."

Chapter 347 The New Me

"It's a very simple question."

Facing Lu Xi's suspicious gaze, Claire stretched out a finger:

"In the imperial capital, no, within the scope of [the entire world], how many people can move through space without leaving a trace of magic power?"

"Well, it shouldn't be...not many?"

Lu Xi thought about it carefully:

"About five."

"No, within the known range, the only person who can do such a thing is [you]."

Leaning back on the sofa, the undercover girl said:

"Initiating space transfer, which is one of the most complex magics without leaving a trace of magic power, sounds as whimsical as wanting to see without eyes and smell without nose. If you don't see it with your own eyes, even I also don't believe you have the ability to challenge common sense like this."

Want to cast magic without magic power?To be fair, this statement makes no logical sense at all.

"Yes, is that an exaggeration..."

It was the first time someone praised him in this way, Lu Xi scratched his hair in embarrassment:

"Even so, it doesn't matter? As long as the goal is achieved——"

"Lu Xiqing, our purpose this time is not just [rescue the counterfeit], but [rescue the counterfeit without revealing our identity in front of a group of people who know us very well]."

The undercover girl shook her head helplessly:

"Just like I dressed up as Phantom Thief K, in this operation, any of our performances must be completely different from the past. The more strange the behavior, the more people will feel [such guys can't be Lucy and Claire] 】The more successful it is; on the contrary, the symbolic personal ability is completely prohibited—of course, the "Luci Special Edition Space Transfer" that Yuxia and the others have seen many times is also absolutely~no available range."

Gan!Actually forgot this!

After being reminded by Claire, Lu Xi realized his major mistake belatedly.

Just think about the convenience of time-stop, but forget your own particularity.

Just like the peerless swordsman who is famous all over the world in martial arts novels, he thought that he could hide his identity by covering his face, but he didn't expect that any passerby caught casually would be able to tell his real name--you treat us as if we can't see you Is it the Yitian sword in his hand?

For Lu Xi, the series of 'skills' derived from the time-stop ability belong to the category of 'Yi Tian Jian' with a very personal mark, and even a pink gold Hanhan can see through it at a glance, let alone live together every day Nana three people.

It's hard to do now.

"Then, if I infiltrate the guard team and use teleportation to steal the orb when you appear on the stage—it doesn't seem to work either."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xi himself vetoed it.

No matter what method is used, as long as the orb disappears out of thin air without any fluctuation of magic power, it will be a matter of time before he has this ability to be seen by the very familiar girls.

Except for Zarika, Yushiya and Nana would definitely find something wrong - and the former's unreasonable [true beast の intuition] was even more troublesome.

Lu Xi was really afraid that after a careful dressing up, he was sure that no one would recognize him as soon as he appeared on the stage, and Zelika would point to him and ask, 'Eh?Ruoweixi, why are you standing so high? 'scene.

When I was a teammate, I didn't feel it, but I didn't expect that from the enemy's standpoint, these three were so difficult.

As for the only possible way to fool them—

"...In other words, I also want to [disguise]."

Finally understanding the difficulty Claire said, Lu Xi sighed a long time:

"The strength, skills, and abilities that have been shown in front of them in the past will all be sealed, and I will face them with a brand new me."

"exactly."

Claire looked at Lu Xi with some worry:

"Because I have always been an honest female officer, my ability has not been exposed at all. This does not have much impact on me-but Lu Xiqing, who has been living and fighting with Yuxia and the others, really No problem?"

Just like saying to a great fire magician, 'You are not allowed to use fire in the next battle', Claire also knows how difficult it is for a person to [completely abandon the previous self].

I have practiced using [Magic·Intellect], but it is impossible for Lu Xiqing to use his [Magic·Pleasure] to this extent, right?

Subconsciously, Claire recalled the [Composite Demonic Happiness] that rewrote the entire audience's memory that day.

It would be nice if the huge reserve of magic that almost caused an uproar in the arena that day was still there, with the power of [composite magic·happiness] that day——

It's a pity, according to Lu Xiqing, that was the result of his exploration in the maze, and it was completely consumed that day.

"—I said, don't look at me so sadly."

Just when Claire thought more and more about the gloomy future, Lu Xi's leisurely voice sounded as usual. She looked up in surprise, but saw the relaxed smile on the other side's face:

"Isn't it just a change of [style]? For me who is not a certain specialization, maybe it is an easy thing?"

"First, let's start with the image—"

----------------

[Air-delivery technique and courier system, start]

[After delivery, please sign for receipt. 】

[Confirm your receipt, thank you for using this service.Osiris Express, the mission must be achieved. 】

"..." X2

Seeing the scene where Nova projected cos as a courier boy and jumped out of the commander beacon, bowed playfully and left a physical box on the spot, Lu Xi and Claire were stunned for a long time without saying anything talk.

"...Is this the pit that Grandpa dug happened to activate, and then blew up the center of Lu Xiqing's Sky City?"

After a long time, Claire murmured:

"Very, very interesting, Lu Xiqing really picked up something good."

If you know that one of the most important daily agendas of this crumb AI is to urge me to have a baby, you probably won’t think so.

Recalling Nova's bright eyes after seeing Claire, Lu Xi heaved a long sigh.

Recently, this AI has more and more tricks, and even launched a new function of intelligent face changing, which puts the faces of the girls around me on the small movies in the database, and jumps out to play when I am alone from time to time.

According to her, this is to 'let the Commander establish a reflective connection between the face of the excellent opposite sex and the desire to reproduce, so as to better implement the Isis agreement. '

Although it sounds scientific, isn't it just trying to turn me into a real-life freak who starts to get up whenever I see girls around me? !

What's rather strange is that Nova somehow arranged this matter into the [Commander Smart Health Assistant], which has nothing to do with the Isis agreement. The mandatory order I made before was bypassed by her like this.

Well worth it!That being the case, let this crumb AI who regards population as a number have a good experience, how strong is the determination of males when they are serious!

"Although I don't know why Lu Xiqing suddenly looks super great, but time is running out, let's hurry up and execute the next step."

Curiously poking the physical box that appeared from the projection, Claire looked at Lu Xi:

"Is this what Lu Xiqing just mentioned? What is it?"

Lucy smiled triumphantly:

"Hmph, just watch—"
