"Saeko, what's the situation now?"
While walking on the streets of Yumenimachi, Onoue called his wife and asked softly.
"The merger of the old and new museums has been completed, and Atuo has passed the most dangerous time, but..."
Today's Fuuto has long returned to its former tranquility. The underground world of Fuuto is now under the control of the new museum. Compared with past museums, its behavior has changed a lot. The security of memories and restrictions on the users have been strictly restricted.
On the other hand, Philip also often went to Shinjima to meet with Ryubei, Wenyin and others who had long since stopped caring about these matters. The days of family reunion were particularly peaceful.
"But what?"
"Illya... because she was unhappy with you for not returning to Fuuto, she decided to change the high school she applied for to another place."
Today, Illya has grown into a graceful young lady. She also develops a rebellious mentality towards her brother Aqiao who has never come to visit her, so she decides to apply for a high school in another city.
"What high school?"
"Amanokawa."
Hearing about Amanokawa, Onoue was stunned for a moment... This place, Illya actually chose that place.
"That is where I hope for the light."
"Well, as long as she doesn't let herself be tempted by power, Illya should be fine."
Constellation switches are somewhat similar to memories, both of which exploit human weaknesses and induce people to go down a path of no return.
Saeko trusts Illya very much and has enough self-control.
"Anyway, thank you for everything. As long as the matter with the Beast Emperor is resolved, I will return to Fengdu to reunite with you."
"Well, you have to be careful too. I'll be waiting for you."
After hanging up the phone, Onoue strolled on the street, lit a cigarette and smoked quietly.
Slowly exhaling smoke, Onoue's thoughts drifted to who knows where, and his mind kept replaying a series of events that had happened in the recent period of time.
Fukushima Hajime's betrayal, Hakusan's pursuit, Kitagawa's appearance, the Reptile Alliance...
A series of events have created a fog of mystery surrounding the current situation. Although Onoue has an idea in his mind, there are still many details that need to be dealt with in order to deal with it specifically.
Suddenly, a blood-red fallen leaf floated in front of Oue.
"Well, the core coin has reacted?"
At this time, the three reptile core coins in Onoue's hand flashed a special light.
With this feeling in mind, Onoue slowly walked towards a mysterious place in Yumeng Town.
An elegant red courtyard stood mysteriously in front of Onoue, with red leaves falling all over the sky.
In the courtyard, there was a purple-haired woman in a red dress, sipping a glass of bright red wine. Looking closely, her facial features were delicate and natural, and her pupils were emitting a red glow.
Like a noble lady, the woman in front of him seemed to notice Onoue’s appearance and smiled with her hands covering her mouth: “You are here, Onoue Qiao.”
"Here. Knowing my name, who is this lady?"
"You can just call me Remlia. As for why I know your name, this is someone from the Hongshang family. Please introduce yourself to me."
With a cry of Remlia, red leaves fell to the ground all over the sky.
"This name feels familiar."
"Familiar? Haha, maybe, Mr. Onoue, how do you view the encounters between people?" Remlia waved her hand and said lightly. At the same time, nkh, who was far away at the other end of Yumeng Town, felt his heart skip a beat.
This nasty feeling... It must be an illusion. She already...
"Maybe, it's fate."
"Haha, yes, it is indeed a fateful meeting. I am very interested in you. How about becoming my man?"
The sudden confession made Onoue laugh dryly: "Sorry, I'm already married."
"Then divorce."
"This joke is a bit too much."
Seeing the warmth on the tail, Remlia smiled calmly: "Don't be so hasty to refuse. If you are with me, maybe you can get eternal life."
"hehe."
Onoue smiled, turned around and prepared to leave, but saw this Remlia shook her head: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"I have roughly guessed your identity, so there is no need to stay here and continue to engage in verbal confrontation with you."
Onoue's remarks aroused Remlia's interest: "Oh, then tell me, what is my identity?"
"I can only think of four people in this world who can proudly say that they have obtained eternal life and are familiar with the existence of the core coin."
After speaking in a resolute tone, Onoue turned around and looked at Remlia in front of him: "Eight hundred years ago, you were one of the four alchemists, Red, Orange, Green, and White, who produced a large number of core coins. You are the Red Alchemist. As for Remlia, it's just a pseudonym."
He immediately revealed the identity of the woman in front of him. There was a moment of silence, but she laughed: "Onoue Takumi, you are really interesting. I am getting more and more attracted to you. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you next time. By the way, if you see nkh, take me to say hello to him."
It is clear from the implication that she is the creator of the nkh, or bird-like group.
Soon, the courtyard around Remlia and herself disappeared in front of Onoue. It was obvious that this was an advanced projection technology.
"Of the four great alchemists, I originally thought that only L was still alive. Now it seems that the other three alchemists..."
At this time, Onoue started to grumble to himself...
"Well, after all, we still need to find a place to eat..."
Looking left and right, looking around Onoue, I suddenly found a multinational restaurant standing in front of me.
The moment the door opened, three people dressed in Halloween costumes, showing weird vampire teeth, stared at Onoue and said, "Welcome!"
After a moment of silence, Onoue stared at Eiji in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "You... this outfit..."
"It's Aqiao. Nkh and I have been working here lately. Today we are wearing Halloween costumes, haha."
On the other side, Nkh, who was lying in the attic, was eating a popsicle when he saw Bina walk up to him viciously and snatch it away.
"Hey, woman, what are you doing!"
"Eating so many popsicles will cause nutritional imbalance in my brother's body."
After Binet finished speaking, he ignored Nkh and forcibly took him to the restaurant downstairs and placed a pot of roasted chicken in front of him.
"this... "
Because his original form was similar to that of a bird, nkh instinctively felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the roasted chicken. However, feeling the gazes of those around him, including Onoue, he snorted softly, grabbed the roasted chicken and started eating it crazily.
"Nkh, I want to ask you something."
Wei Shang, who was also holding a pot of roast chicken, walked to the opposite side of the table.
"What's up?"
While eating roast chicken, nkh said coldly with an unhappy look on his face.
"Remlia, do you know?"
"What it is?"
It was indeed a pseudonym. Thinking of this, Onoue slowly spoke: "Her other identity is the Crimson Alchemist from eight hundred years ago. I just met her at the intersection before."
"impossible!"
Upon hearing that it was the Crimson Alchemist, nkh's face suddenly changed, and there was an elusive and strange look in his eyes, as if he was relieved, guilty, afraid, and a hint of tenderness.
However, in an instant, nkh regained his usual calmness: "It's impossible for her to be alive. She must be a fake."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Does it concern you?"
After a long silence, nkh said, "Because, she was killed by my own hands."
After saying that, nkh left without looking back.
Eight hundred years ago.
"From now on, you will be called nkh..."
Gentle words, said softly by the alchemist in red while holding Rd in front of him.
For her, nkh is eager to become a complete living being...
However...
The first generation 000's rampage, and her who manipulated everything behind the scenes, made nkh understand the taste of betrayal for the first time.
"Why!"
"Everything, just for eternal life."
The strange look in the eyes of the woman in front of him hurt nkh's heart.
The angry roar echoed throughout the palace, and nkh directly broke the neck of the person in front of him.
"If you appear in front of me again, I will break your neck again."
In the attic, nkh said softly.
ps: L in the movie version 1 Shogun is one of the four alchemists. Since she has a special way to survive, the other three also have it. (To be continued)
