terrible!
If this inference is true, Varina can ask countless questions in one breath.
Why didn't he lose control?
Why is there an extra way?
Who is Yu Yue, and what does it have to do with this extra path?
He is Varina, is Yu Yue the same?
Is what is shrouded in him a secret or a conspiracy?
…
These questions are diverse and strange, but they have one thing in common -
The answer is always "I don't know".
After what felt like a century, Varina came to her senses.
He let out a long breath, took out his pocket watch and took a look.
Less than half an hour has passed.
Varina finally made an extreme assumption, "Assuming the worst outcome, my demise is doomed and there is no chance of choice. So what should I do?"
He looked into his heart and found the purest thought as an answer.
"Even if it's the worst outcome, you have to struggle hard; even if there's no hope, you have to try your best; only in this way, when the end finally comes, you won't regret it."
After getting the answer, Varina decided not to consider that terrible inference anymore.
He is only Sequence 8 now, so thinking about those things is tantamount to unfounded worries and is completely meaningless.
According to Varina's estimation, no matter what his ending is, it will at least wait until he is promoted to Sequence 2 before any clues will emerge.
This is because when he was digging into his memory in the "reasoning state", there was a lot of content that he clearly felt his memory was complete, but he couldn't find it.
For example, the reasons for the doomsday, the reasons for the exchange of sequence pathways... and so on.
The closest answer he could find was a sentence, "Just understanding will bring pollution that is difficult to resist. Only angels and above can possibly contend."
Advance to Sequence 2 and become a complete mythical creature.
That's easy to say, but in reality, Varina feels like it's still early days for him.
The "Assassin" path was not easy, so it was more practical for him to find a way to get rid of the Witch Sect.
…
Just after 12 o'clock, the witch Qili approached Varina's room with light steps.
When she opened the door, she saw Varina lying on the table and falling asleep.
She took a few steps forward, tilted her head and looked at Varina's profile, her eyebrows gradually curved.
Qili suddenly became playful and reached out to pinch Varina's nose.
After a while, Varina woke up from the suffocation. He raised his head and looked at Qili, wondering what she was going to do.
"I said I would give you a New Year's gift, remember?" Qili said with a smile.
Varina was fully awake at this time. He reached out and took the "bottom line" pocket watch on the table. He suddenly felt that his mind was clearer, and then he asked:
"What kind of gift are you referring to?"
"this."
Qili seemed to be prepared, spreading her right palm in front of Varina.
In her palm, there were two small red beads.
Is this... the blood of Xio and Forsi? !
Varina looked at Qili in surprise, "Is this their blood? Are you willing to return it to them? You didn't do anything, right?"
After three questions in a row, the smile on Qi Li's face faded a lot.
"Don't give it back to the two of them."
"They are my New Year's gift to you. As for what you want to do with them, that's none of my business."
At this point, her tone has become cold and hard, "I have done nothing except freezing and preserving it. Are you relieved now?"
Varina noticed the emotion behind her change in tone and quickly spoke out to comfort her.
"Lily, you look good like this."
"These past few days have been the most comfortable days I've had since getting along with you."
"The most real and natural emotions are when people are in a relaxed state. I think you feel the same way, right?"
Qili opened the jewelry box on the table, put two frozen blood beads in, and closed the lid.
She sat on the bed with the jewelry box and asked:
"Do you still want to get your own blood and hair?"
"Of course," Varina said calmly, "Didn't I ask for it from you?"
Qili shook her head, "Unlike them, I can't give you your things."
"This is a sectarian rule."
"You should remember that I mentioned when we first met that only those who have been promoted to Sequence 6 are eligible to recruit subordinates."
"Yes." Varina responded while she was speaking.
"Then do you know why I knew the formula of the 'Assassin' potion at that time, but I had to wait until I was promoted to tell you?"
Varina shook his head, "I don't know about that."
"Because of the contract," Qili said: "In other words, it is a curse magic that was cast on the drop of blood that was handed over."
"If the magic potion recipe is passed on without approval, the curse will occur."
Varina was stunned... Can a curse be used like this?
Then he realized it. Fortunately, he didn't think about the rumored magic potion formula for the time being. Otherwise, wouldn't he have been tricked?
What a pitfall...
Warina felt very uneasy and couldn't help but ask: "Why did you wait until today to talk about such an important matter?"
"Because I didn't care before," Qili replied matter-of-factly: "I didn't dare to reveal the formula myself. If you don't realize the danger, then you deserve to die."
Varina wanted to say that he was unaware of the dangers inside, and that his survival to this day was all due to luck...
But when the words came to his lips, he changed to another question: "Who is your superior?"
He thought that if he didn't want to deal with Qili, then dealing with Qili's superior might be a solution.
Faced with this question, Qili hesitated for a while and finally thought of the right words:
"You're not at Sequence 7 yet, so I can't tell you too clearly."
"I can only tell you that my current superior is the highest person in charge of the sect in Backlund."
Nightingale of Despair, Panatia!
Varina knew immediately who she was referring to.
This is a demigod...I just wanted to kill a demigod?
I can't afford to offend you, just pretend I didn't think about it!
Varina replied dryly: "Then...you are quite powerful. Among the members of Backlund's sect, you must be at least among the top five."
"No."
Qi Li shook her head and said, "I was promoted through an exception based on my last mission. Normally, I need to meet the conditions for promotion to Sequence 5 to be up to standard."
At this point, Varina still couldn't figure out why Qili mentioned these things.
He asked directly, "Do you have anything to say? If you do, just say it. There is no need to worry too much between friends."
After a short moment of silence, Qili asked: "Can you stop rushing to be promoted to Sequence 7?"
ah?
Varina was a little confused. Before he could think deeply, Qili's explanation followed.
"In the sect, the superiors of Sequence 7 members are usually Sequence 5."
"If you advance to Sequence 7 before I become Sequence 5, then I will have no choice but to hand over your blood."
This explanation seems a bit forced... Wariner thought of Triss's experience in the original work, and it seemed that it was barely consistent...
However, he had no intention of continuing to advance in the Witch Cult, so he quickly nodded and replied:
"no problem."
"I promise you, I will not apply for promotion from you again before you agree."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qili suddenly stood up, stepped forward and took Varina's arm, and said:
"Let's go find your friends."
