Chapter 1092 – Origin

000

Another safe revealed beyond the wall that Fleur tore off with a dagger.

And, the ‘blueprint’ of something contained within it.

The group carefully took out the items inside, brought them to the desk in the room, and spread them out.

However, the words written there were all in curly, earthworm-like writing, so no one would have been able to recognize them.

“Lila. Is this…?”

“I know it’s a blueprint for some kind of machine. But… The words written here are even older than the ancient languages ​​I studied.”

“Then, is this the car I should see?”

At that time, a voice came from next to me.

When the group turned their heads in that direction, Artis was standing there, worried about Fleur, who had borrowed a lighter from him, so he immediately followed her.

＂Wow Artis. Since when? “

“Since you were taking the blueprints out of the hole in the wall. I’m sorry if I disturb you.”

If Artis had answered Lila’s question like that, Kuon would have shaken his head.

＂What is there to disturb? I just happened to need Artis’ help.”

Then, Artis shrugs his shoulders, then walks into Old Burn Descartes’ room and walks towards the desk.

＂Where, where…＂

And she will read the blueprints placed there and the various letters written on them.

＂Hmm…＂

“You’re not saying you don’t know, right?”

＂What do you think of me…＂

Even though Artis seemed dumbfounded by Lila’s words, she concentrated on looking at several sheets of paper.

In a tense moment, the group was silently waiting for Artis to speak next.

Finally.

“… This. It’s a blueprint that reverse-engineered the mechanism that ‘Tris’ made. The name is written everywhere… Probably, it was Oldburn Descartes who drew this blueprint.”

＂Tris…!＂

Lila must have looked surprised by her words.

It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time, but I still feel its influence.

A genius scientist from the original world who created ‘Adam’ and ‘Eve’, machines that could create humans.

Because of him, humans were able to appear in this world once again, but at the same time, a great evil called Adam was created.

In addition, he is a person who has a connection with the hero Resia, who was sucked into the gap in another dimension, and her daughter ‘Lilith’.

To that extent, there is probably no other entity that has had a great influence on this inherited world.

＂What kind of device is it?＂

Then, Sasha will take Lila’s place and ask everyone is curious about.

Artis didn’t answer Sasha’s question for a moment and kept her mouth shut.

＂… Artis?＂

“Sorry. Until there, I too…”

“After all, you don’t know!”

Lila gets angry at Artis’ answer and says something.

“There’s nothing you can do, right? Sure, ancient civilizations are my specialty, but what I write here has too many technical words for mechanical engineering, let alone that. And although it is only a blueprint, it does not specify exactly what function it performs.”

Artis excused himself and continued his explanation of the blueprint.

“The finished product will probably be quite large. Not only is the necessary power supplied, but the function is not completed with a single machine, but it ultimately seems to achieve ‘some purpose’ by connecting several machines.”

As Artis says that, he will show several overlapping blueprints.

Then, in front of the group’s eyes, they confirmed the object, which had a huge ring-shaped floor and three huge pillars standing in a triangle.

Lastly, in the middle, although smaller than the pillars, there was a ‘cylindrical’ object.

“In terms of size, the items arranged like this… Can be considered to be placed in an area approximately the size of the central square of the academy.”

“… It’s quite big. “I wish I could know its purpose.”

“Other uses are unknown. Since the word ‘Kadmon’ appears several times, it seems like the name of this machine…”

＂Kadmon… What does this word mean?＂

At the sound of words she heard for the first time, Laila asked Attis.

“It doesn’t really have any meaning. Just a word with that pronunciation.”

Artis probably shook his head as if he didn’t find any meaning in those words.

“Then, when it comes to this blueprint, we still have no choice but to just say ‘there is such a thing’…”

Melusine would frown her eyes thinking that.

“… Then how about combining the clues found in each room?”

Kuon said so and took out the crystal ball he had.

“Uh? Crystal ball for recording! “Where did you get it?”

“Actually, I was going to ask Lila to activate this. It was postponed due to various reasons, but…”

At Kuon’s words, Lila nodded her head as if she understood.

“… But, Lila can’t use her magic right now, right?”

If Amelia said it like she had in mind, Lila would nod her head with her arms crossed.

Then, Sasha, who was quietly looking at her, raised her arm.

“Teach me how to use magic, and we’ll do it!”

“Sasha is right. Because both of our magical powers are intact.”

Just as they maintained the barrier on behalf of Melusine earlier, the two people say that they will help with their own strength this time as well.

Then, Lila would nod her head as if she had no choice.

“It can’t be helped. Okay. But it’s not that simple magic. You can never let down your guard. When playing the records inside the crystal ball, if the concentration of magic is lost, the records inside may be blown away.”

“Is that so? It’s a huge responsibility…”

Magic is more uncomfortable than I thought.

Thinking like that, Sasha and Amelia looked tense.

“Okay? The memory injected into the crystal ball – visual and auditory information – is pulled out and played back as an illusion. Amelia extracts, Sasha regenerates. The two of you must each do your share.”

“Uh, yes. Yes!”

“I understand, Lila.”

It was decided that everyone would gather on the first floor to check the contents of the crystal ball.

I still can’t see Schrödinger, but there is still something I want to explore in the room on the second floor.

What appears to be a living room – All the furniture next to the fireplace was removed, and Lila drew a magic circle on the wooden floor.

Although she cannot directly inject magic power, since the ‘magic circle’ is an area of ​​knowledge, it can be said that she used her hands as much as possible right up to the parts that require direct magic power.

Place the crystal ball in the center of the intricately drawn magic circle, and Amelia places her hand on top of the crystal ball.

Her role is to extract memories that exist inside the crystal sphere.

And Sasha held Amelia’s hand and raised her remaining hand towards the wall.

Through her hands, the memories of the crystal ball extracted by Amelia are regenerated using illusion magic.

“Just breathe. Originally, the magic that should have been done by one person is split between two people… As I said before, you have to concentrate!”

Because of Lila’s new request, the two people’s shoulders felt even heavier.

Nevertheless, the two somehow nod their heads and make eye contact.

Breathe, coordinate your breathing.

When you intentionally try to do things that are natural to you as a living being, it feels awkward.

The two of them, clearly feeling this, synchronized their breathing rhythms by repeating deep breaths of ‘seuu’ and ‘fuu’ over and over again.

And, through the magical connection created by drinking a drop of each other’s blood in advance, the process of sending and receiving magical energy to each other is repeated.

She could have connected with Cleon, but since the distance from him was too far, it would take time, so Lila created a new magical connection between the two.

The other method suggested was ‘kiss’, so the two were quite embarrassed.

“Why? Me and Kuon like this…”

＂La, Laila!!＂

I wondered if it would be meaningful to silence her now, but Kuon quickly silenced Lila, who had just released a bombshell.

Well, from Lila’s perspective, it was just an act to open a channel for magical power, and it meant nothing more or less than that, so there was no shame in it.

In any case, when the magic power of the two people began to synchronize to some extent, Sasha and Amelia naturally looked into each other’s eyes and nodded.

“Reveal the shadows of memories you have kept before my light.”

Amelia first began chanting, injecting her magical power into the crystal ball placed on top of the magic circle.

＂Show the meaning sleeping in that thought, that thought, that memory.＂

And, following the chant, Sasha’s mouth utters a voice.

“I am the one who reveals the secrets hidden in the authentic contract.”

“I am the one who refines the shapes of the listed words.”

When the magic circle that received the magic power of the two people began to emit a faint light, light also flowed from the crystal ball as if it resonated with it.

And the light moves along Amelia’s hands and arms and flows directly into Sasha.

Finally, the light that touched Sasha’s hand toward the wall escapes from her hand, using the wall as a screen to display an image recorded in the crystal ball.

Then, what you see there is…

It was the back view of a middle-aged woman with red hair, a man wearing clergy clothes, a man wearing a white robe, and finally a man wearing a nobleman’s suit.

＂Are they the executives of the returnees?＂

When Quartz said that as if asking a question, Kuon tilted his head.

As for him in clerical robes, at first I thought, is it Maxwell? I thought so, but it felt like the shape of her face was slightly different from his.

The atmosphere was similar, but they seemed like strangers.

The man wearing a white coat also looked like Laplace, and the man wearing a nobleman’s suit also had an impression of being similar to ‘Oldburn’, but at the same time, he must have seemed like a ‘different person’.

The place where they are sitting is exactly the living room on the first floor where the group is currently gathered.

It was a scene where three people were sitting and looking at a woman with a somewhat haggard appearance.

[It’s been three months, madam. You seem thinner than when I met you before.]

Among them, a man dressed in nobleman’s clothes spoke in a polite manner, but the woman responded to his words in a nervous manner with her hand on her forehead.

[Stop saying hello… What I said last time… Is it true?]

A man dressed as a priest would respond to her words.

[Yes. Of course. It’s a simple story that if Darwin cooperates with us… We will cooperate with you.]

[Ha… Simple…?]

To the man’s words, the woman called Darwin reacts as if it were absurd.

[Something rude?]

[Didn’t you hear about my purpose from the man in white over there? And what happened to me?]

In response to her interrogative words, the man in noble clothing responds by wiping her forehead with her handkerchief.

[Of course, I checked by listening without missing a word. The tragedy that happened to you… And as a result, you came to dream of the ‘revival of the lion’.]

[The secret of secret techniques that is prohibited even by the Church of Saint Protection. You know very well that you can’t achieve that with your own knowledge, right? Sigh…]

Then, when the man in white answers, the man in priest clothes will sigh.

[Laplace. It’s best not to talk to her too much to provoke her. Don’t we… ‘Maybe become comrades’?]

[Aren’t you being too picky, Maxwell? It’s better to be clear about what you say! Don’t get hung up on what you can’t do alone, join hands with us!]

[… Ha. Wouldn’t you like to say something to help? Descartes.]

[Uhm…]

Through the men’s conversation, each other’s names are revealed.

And as expected, when it was revealed that they were executives of the returnees, the party couldn’t help but look even more confused.

Each person’s name was the same as they are now, but those called by that name had a different face than they do now.

No, besides.

This is a memory so old that I can’t tell if it’s from hundreds of years ago.

The question everyone feels.

However, no one opened their mouths easily.

This is because they shouldn’t break Amelia and Sasha’s concentration by making noise.

[… What do you want me to do?]

Darwin, who heard them talking to each other, asked the three men.

[We hope you will join us in creating an organization to help the ‘Father of Knowledge’. Ultimately, he takes on the role of creating the world he will create.]

At the priest’s words, Darwin frowns his eyes.

[It seems like a pseudo-organization. Why is it me?]

[This is a distinct group of scholars. You are a person with the greatest knowledge and intelligence among bioengineers currently existing in this world. Your role… Is to create a body for my father, who will one day descend to this earth in person.]

[…

Darwin was silent for a moment at his words.

[The leap of evolution you have created… If the research continues, you will one day be able to artificially create ‘superhumans’. A ‘superman’ with a body comparable to the ‘golden comet’ that exists in very ancient history. If a god were to descend on this world, such a body would be suitable.]

Darwin blinked at those words and sighed heavily.

[It might be a task worth taking on, creating the body of a god yourself… But those white clothes. In addition to what he said the last time I came, there was one more thing.]

[Okay! Our task is probably a goal that will be difficult to achieve in ten or a hundred years. But our bodies are imperfect. So…]

[Therefore. Are you asking me to make you immortal? No matter how much I do, that is impossible, and there is a limit to extending lifespan.]

Darwin shook his head as he said that, but the man in the priest’s uniform smiled quietly.

[I know. Your research has not yet reached that area.]

[… Then what do you want me to do?]

[Do you know what ‘reincarnation person’ is?]

[Past life… Son of man?]

Darwin shakes his head as if he doesn’t understand what the man said.

[This is a special ability passed down to a certain clan. It is engraved in the soul, and even if the body dies, a being with the same soul is born again across generations. ‘It is a kind of resurrection.’]

[… There are guys with that kind of ability?]

[Yes. We ask you to transplant that factor into us as well. Even if we reach our limit and die, so that we can once again offer our soul and body for our Father.]

In his words and eyes, there seemed to be only infinite faith in his father.

[… You’re crazy.]

Darwin seemed to react that way to his words.

But at the same time, it seemed like he had found some hope.

[But… I understand. If my purpose can be achieved by cooperating with you… I will join you.]

And she quietly conveyed her intention to the three people with an expression that seemed to have accepted everything.

[… So, what is the name of the organization?]

Finally, Darwin asked.

[I am a regressor.]

A man wearing nobleman’s clothes answers.

[… For something that creates a new world, it’s quite an old-fashioned name.]

[Even if we die, we return to this world. Again and again and again. And I will dedicate all of my inherited knowledge and soul and use it to create my father’s world.]

Darwin would probably react as if he was fed up with the priest who still spoke in a fanatic manner.

And then, the man in white stretched out his hand towards the crystal ball that recorded everything.

With that, the illusion disappears.

Probably, it was successful in bringing out everything that was contained within.

There was a lot to say, but everyone had no choice but to stay still for a moment.

Because the content was quite shocking.

“You saw it.”

And then, at the sudden sound of Schrödinger’s voice, we all turned around.

Then Schrödinger was standing there.

“What you just saw is the owner of this mansion. The ‘beginning’ of the returner. In other words, it is the ‘origin’.”

But of course her speaking style was completely different from her usual self-

“Shoo, Schrödinger. “What is that on the back of your neck?”

“Don’t be surprised. Everyone.”

In response to Lila’s question, she smiled slightly.

On the back of her neck above the living room.

This is because the tentacles that came down through the ceiling came down and were connected.
