Odd Containment Specialist

Then, now is the time to go back to the time before departure, when the reflection world has not yet been created.

"Alice, go back." Xia Shou said.

"Yes, Lord Xia Shou."

Alice stretched out her hands, held Xia Shou's head, and said.

...

...

Tianyu Mansion.

"Don't follow me." Van Cleef sat on the edge of the rooftop and said to the woman behind him.

"As a minister, how can I not follow His Majesty?" The woman with short black hair and a sharp and serious expression replied very respectfully.

Van Cleef sighed, "You really think too highly of me. I can't compare to that man at all.

You also know that I am just the character corresponding to him in the book, not him at all. Although there is a connection, I really don't have the ability to help you restore your country.

To be honest, you have all read my life story. In fact, I am just an ordinary person. Although I sympathize with you, I have no mood or willingness to help you restore your country.

Besides, it has been so long, and ancient Britain has perished. Why bother to persist? You are not the real you before.

Since you are all the same as me, why don't you live your own life?"

"Your Majesty, please don't say such discouraging words." The woman said calmly.

Van Cleef sighed: "No matter what you think, I have decided to return to the book after killing Xia Shou, and I want to forget these things. I am not the kind of person who can kill people for myself.

Do you understand? How can someone like me be the evil king in the legend?"

"Your Majesty, you are not the evil king. That is a derogatory name given to you by future generations. Please don't call yourself that."

"I didn't call myself that. Didn't you understand? I am not Van Cleef at all! No, I mean I am not the Van Cleef you are waiting for!"

"Your Majesty, we have told you that even if it is a character, it is still you. All the decisions you made in the book, all the thoughts and thinking, are the reactions that your Majesty would make in that situation, just like the named human body. Even if the human body is an incomplete named person, it is undoubtedly a part of the named person."

"So what you mean is that I am a part of his remnant." Van Cleef sighed helplessly and seemed to have lost interest.

"A part is the whole. What is lost is not lost forever. Truly integrated things are always connected to each other, just as you can now use all the objects you had before, and you can also obtain the previous power from your own skull.

All this just shows that you are you, and that is why your death in the book has led to your death outside the book." The woman explained seriously.

Van Cleef has heard these words of her countless times.

But whether it is right or not is one thing, and whether he recognizes it is another. Anyway, even if he knows this, Van Cleef still has no interest in the old things of King Arthur's time, and he has no sense of reality. His heart is the world in the book where he has lived for decades, not the ancient British era where the picture cannot be imagined.

But on the other hand, Van Cleef really can't just leave these old ministers of the evil king alone. These people's persistence and perseverance make him feel sad and pitiful. He feels bad if he ignores them completely. After all, if it weren't for the efforts of these old ministers, he would not be able to know the truth outside the book.

However, it was impossible for him to shoulder the mission that did not belong to him, so he decided to forget about it all after solving this matter.

This approach is certainly a bit cowardly, but forgetting is also a choice. Isn't the existence of choice for people to choose? What's wrong with escaping from a mission that you shouldn't bear? It's just putting aside the troubles that don't belong to you.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about our opinions. Just live your life as you wish. Whether you return to the book or choose to stay in the world, we will obey your wishes, but in the end you will definitely pick up the big spear and lead us to sweep the world.

This is destined, and even you cannot escape the great cause.

And this time, we will not lose again. I will take back your eyes for you in the first test of seeing death, and let death fill your eyes again."

Hearing this, Van Cleef shook his head: "Don't say such scary things, I don't need anything. Since you said you will respect my wishes, then I'm really rude."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about us, then, I will take my leave first. The Five Bookworms will not be able to win without our help... In addition, please be prepared, they are about to arrive."

...

In Shangguan Yan's apartment, Xia Shou took off the mirror cloth and his figure appeared in the air.

He walked to the living room and spread the mirror cloth on the tiles. The cloth was concave on the flat tiles, as if there was no flat ground but a hole underneath.

As the space opposite the mirror kept switching, the tiles were silently cut off layer by layer until the reinforced concrete underneath was exposed.

Then, a dirty old box embedded in the cement was exposed to the air.

The box was not glued to the cement. The hole in the floor was not directly poured, but was designed to hold the box from the beginning.

Xia Shou took the box out and pressed the left and right spring buckles. The metal buckle did not bounce up when pressed. The spring seemed to be rusted and stuck due to the years.

He used force to pry the metal buckle apart and opened the lid. Powder rustled and fell from the seam. Inside was a bottle of blood, a strange-looking box with runes engraved on the surface, and a "scar".

The box and the blood bottle were both physical objects, but the scar was very unusual. It was like a crack that was incompatible with reality, attached to the surface of the box. Through the wound, you could see the deep wood grain after the box was cracked, but visually the scar and the box were separated.

"It looks a bit dangerous." Xia Shou frowned and used the text description to observe the scar, and he really saw something.

[An unresolved scar of death]

[Introduction: A slash that can cut an object to death. It has been produced but has not fallen, but it will eventually fall. ]

[Effect: Through the scar, you can see the appearance of the object when it is cut by this slash. When the scar is activated, the result you see will occur. With conscious living contact, you can move this intangible scar. 】

Xia Shou picked up a toothpick from the coffee table and poked it, and found that the lifelike wound on the scar was just an image, and the scar itself had no entity.

Then Xia Shou stretched out two fingers, pinched the edge of the scar, and really picked up this intangible thing!
