In the dark, the human body always grasps the passage of time inaccurately.
I don't know how long it took, but Varina suddenly felt another cramp in his heart, which cycled three times, one long and one short.
"Why is she looking for me again?"
"You still think I'm not miserable enough?"
Wariner complained in his mind, not having the slightest idea of establishing a connection.
Of course, even if he had, he couldn't do it now.
Because he doesn't know how to carry a mirror with him, not even Qili's communication ointment.
"Hey, I also want to respond to the contact, but I really don't have the conditions. It's not my fault."
Varina thought with peace of mind, but suddenly heard a low-pitched scolding.
"come out!"
Varina was startled, and then she realized that it seemed to be Qili's voice...
He quickly entered the gray field of vision and looked at the source of the sound - above the wine rack next to him, and found that there was indeed a yellow silhouette there.
"Well, since we've come all the way here, we have no choice."
Thinking of this, Varina exited the gray field of vision and stood up calmly. Of course, he didn't look directly at Qili's location, but pretended to search around.
The next moment after he stood up, Qili was inspired and looked towards the corner where Varina was.
This time, she saw it clearly.
Varina just stood there, seemingly never moving.
"It's strange, why didn't I see him there before?"
Such thoughts flashed through Qili's mind, but when she saw Varina begin to move her position again, she canceled her invisibility, appeared in front of him, and asked:
"What are you doing hiding here?"
"Of course to avoid possible tracking," Varina was afraid that Qili still had her tail, so he answered briefly and then asked:
"Madam, what's going on now? Is your action successful?"
Speaking of the action, Qili smiled with satisfaction, nodded and replied: "Successful."
"You are very good. You did a lot better than I expected on the tasks I assigned. You made my actions go very smoothly. They are still..."
"Yeah, they just discovered the arrangement I left behind."
Warina was shocked when the bad news came suddenly, and her reaction was even stronger than Qili's.
When he saw Qili's expected calm expression, he felt a little more at ease, and asked tentatively:
"Will not have any problems?"
"No," Qili's tone was quite certain, "I am proficient in anti-divination."
"But we can't stay here for long, we have to leave here as soon as possible."
At this time, Qili behaved very decisively and with the style of a superior.
She stretched out her delicate arms and urged: "Grab my hand and I will take you away."
Faced with such a request, Varina only hesitated for a moment before reaching out and holding it. Well, it was slippery and soft... No, he had no choice at all.
Qili disappeared from the two of them and walked away with Varina.
Before walking out of the underground wine cellar, Varina looked back and saw black flames scattered everywhere in the dark wine cellar. They burned quietly without damaging anything.
…
In the night wind, Warina and Qili moved hand in hand. Every time they borrowed force from the ground or the wall, they could advance several feet; every time they settled down, a small black flame would rise from the spot.
They were not in such a rhythm at the beginning, but gradually adjusted during the previous transfer process, so that they could cooperate tacitly.
After adapting to the rhythm of action, Varina was able to focus on other aspects.
While observing the terrain ahead, he tentatively asked: "Where are we going?"
"Your home." Qili's answer was very brief.
"ah?!"
Varina was very surprised and asked: "Why my house?"
He thought Qili was afraid of unexpected mistakes and wanted to use him as a layer of insurance. Unexpectedly, Qili gave him an unexpected answer.
"I used a magical item in a previous operation. Due to its side effects, I can't have too much contact with people now."
Can’t have too much contact with people? That guy even came to me... Varina was curious, what kind of side effects would make her afraid to interact with people? Or...is this not the truth?
He asked again, paying attention to Qili's expression, "I'm curious, what are the side effects?"
After the question was asked, Warina clearly saw a slight struggle on Qili's face, but it quickly disappeared. She opened her mouth and gave the answer:
"That item can put the user into a state of pure mind, making it easy for someone to defraud them."
After finishing speaking, Qili suddenly covered her lips and exclaimed in shock: "I shouldn't have said it!"
She shook off Varina's right hand and stopped on a roof, her expression full of caution.
Warina fell to the ground not far away. When he turned around and saw Qili's performance, he didn't feel like she was acting, and suddenly her heart moved.
He showed a gentle smile and comforted:
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
"Also, you believe me, otherwise you wouldn't come to me, right?"
Qili thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
So she nodded, landed next to Varina, took the initiative to hold his hand, and said with a smile:
"Then let's keep walking."
…
In the middle of the night, the two finally returned to the one-bedroom apartment Varina rented.
During the first half of the transfer process, Qili insisted on using black flames to eliminate her tracks, which consumed a lot of spiritual energy. In addition, she was injured by the law of Amyrius, so she couldn't hold on halfway.
Wariner carried her back the last part of the way.
On the way, Varina used language to test, and while getting a lot of information, he also confirmed that Qili's state was indeed as she said, and her mind was quite simple.
He therefore knew that Qili's action this time was arranged by her superiors in the Witch Sect, with the purpose of stealing the "Level 1" sealed artifact of the Levitt family - "The Devil in the Mirror".
As long as you are willing to sacrifice human blood, you can immediately summon the evil spirit of an abyss demon, possessing the true power of a demigod.
Of course, due to the legal restrictions of Amyrius, the evil spirits can only help the mirror holders of the Levitt family to a limited extent.
Varina was a little strange at the time. The Witch Sect should have no shortage of demigods, so why would it be interested in such a sealed artifact?
Qili's answer to this was that recently, the Witch Sect had been searching for magical items like mirrors in Backlund, as if they were looking for something.
The answer surprised Varina but not at the same time.
What surprised him was, why did the Witch Sect find so many mirrors? Not surprisingly, most of the witch's abilities are linked to mirrors, so looking for mirrors seems to be quite normal.
He felt that the matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to delve into it.
After returning to his residence, Varina put Qili on the bed and settled her down, then sat on a chair beside her.
After a while, he couldn't restrain his curiosity, so he put his palm under his nose and sniffed a few times.
Hmm... As expected of a witch, the scent is very tempting.
