It happened just like that, beyond everyone's expectation.
After the scream that resounded throughout the world stopped, everyone, including a certain Lai Intis who was far above the sky, was aroused by the extreme hatred mixed in it.
"what happened?"
Ji Qingge got up and looked in the direction of the scream.
The sound came from the north.
Above the iron desert, there is endless silence.
The faint light came from Linhua on the other side, and a wave-like cry suddenly came from the edge of the gray desert. After his soul trembled, Ji Qingge swallowed, got up, and pressed his watch in the direction of the sound.
"Experimental Subject Zero: She."
"Experimental subject's ability: unknown."
"The individual cannot die."
"This individual is directly under the control of the director of 'Xi Hanjiang', and no unit within Gao Tianyue has the right to interfere with it."
"Note: Stay away from her."
Something is wrong.
Xiyun stared at the monster in the distance and frowned.
As the examiner of this exam, she lost contact with Gao Tianyue.
If there are only those experimental products on Tieyue, it doesn't matter what happens to Xiyun.
But here she is.
She was the one who extracted Xiyun from her bones and blood.
Why is she here?
Why is she like this?
Xiyun had never seen her so...sober in hundreds of years.
"She? Her? What?" Ji Qingge jumped twice on the spot, trying to shake off the goosebumps on his body, "Does this thing have a gender?"
"What do you care about her? Just stay away from her."
Xiyun's expression remained unchanged and she lied casually, "She's always been like this. Leave her alone and continue with the exam."
"Huh? The talisman array under our feet is broken and we still need to take the exam?"
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and after seeing Xi Yun nodding, he instantly forgot how he felt after hearing that roar, "This is what you said, don't regret it."
The hunger that penetrates deep into the bone marrow reminds Yang Fan of the famine in the village when he was a child. Although his body is now strong enough not to be injured, it still hurts when it should be uncomfortable.
"Yeah." Xiyun didn't want to say more, but just stared at Ning Yun deeply with a resentful look, "I lost something, I'll go look for it in the west, you can do whatever you want."
Ning Yun actually didn't like grabbing other people's things, but the core made him feel like he hadn't seen it for a long time.
He has drank a lot of tea recently, so most of the disputes that happened in the past are covered in a hazy mist in his memory. That is good. He likes the leisure of the present, but if something really appears that is steeped in the past, , he still couldn't help but reach out and touch the reality that would only bring bad memories.
This is one of his few shortcomings, but there are not many things that can touch him, and he cherishes these very much.
High in the sky, Lyindis, who had revealed his true form, smelled an ominous aura.
She was very confused, because in her knowledge, the owner of that aura had been torn into pieces by Lilith and the residue and burned to ashes long before she was born.
But she is the wise woman of the abyss and never makes mistakes.
Therefore, that monster is indeed her.
She seems to have lost her memory.
But, since it's her, she should be able to recognize that person, right?
Thinking of this, Lai Intis pulled the silk thread around him and flicked it lightly.
After the brief earthquake, the world changed drastically.
One after another, quaint mansions rise from the iron desert, followed by endless mountains, and then continuous giant trees.
In just a few breaths, the Iron Desert changed from wasteland to fertile soil.
Ji Qingge and his party were stunned at this sudden change, and then even the dullest Yang Fan noticed something was wrong.
"Xiyun, what's going on here?"
"Xiyun?"
Xiyun has long since disappeared.
She is always an evil god from the abyss.
As long as she comes from the abyss, Lai Intis can lure her away.
"Don't worry about her yet, something is wrong."
Ji Qingge looked at the mountains in the distance, turned around and asked Ning Yun, "Do you know where this is?"
"have no idea."
Ning Yun actually recognized the mountains and trees, but he had never seen those houses with the word "yan" engraved on them.
"Ah, you guys."
Suddenly, a strange female voice sounded from behind everyone.
Ji Qingge and Yang Fan were frightened, and turned back to distance themselves from the man.
It was a woman wearing a pleated skirt.
She is strange and strangely beautiful, but there is a layer of mist in her eyes that cannot be cleared away, making it difficult for people to distinguish between true and false.
"He's waiting for you, follow him quickly."
She nodded, then held up a white paper umbrella and walked towards the mansion in the distance.
There was fog all around, blocking the sunlight coming from nowhere.
"What's going on? Hallucination?"
Yang Fan looked at her back warily, and just as he was about to discuss it with Ji Qingge, he saw Ning Yun holding a cane and following her swaggeringly.
"Hey! Ning Yun!"
"wait!"
The sudden change made the two of them confused. They could only follow Ning Yun in front and rush forward. However, they could only lose their direction and disappear into the fog together with the sound.
The world is quiet.
Ning Yun followed the girl in front and remained silent.
"May I have your name?"
While passing by a field of shimmering flowers, he seemed to have thought of something and asked her.
The girl ignored her and just led him forward on the cobblestone path.
"Do you recognize these flowers?"
Ning Yun didn't care about her ignoring him, and followed her while chattering to her.
"These flowers were planted by a very greedy person with her husband."
"Those purple ones on the edge are called yanluo."
"It is highly poisonous, but eating it can help you grow hair. Every year, many bald men come here to pick this flower. Many bald men die here every year."
"Further east, the shorter, darker brown, and ugliest one is called Huai Lian."
"Pound it into juice and apply it on your face to moisturize your skin. It is that person's most precious flower."
"Those ones in the north, tiny and colorful, are called embryos."
"No one likes that thing except the group of foxes deep in the valley who need to disguise themselves."
Ning Yun followed her, talking non-stop like a chatterbox that hadn't been opened for a long time.
"And what are those fluffy flowers that scatter when blown away?" Ning Yun actually remembered, but he still rubbed the back of his head in distress, "Songjue? Lian Peng? Tian Qingzi? Hualing. ..”
"Qiangtu? Hongli? Baigu? Tongzhuang?"
"Twisting dust."
Probably because she couldn't bear the almost absurd speculation of the person behind her, the silent girl finally spoke.
"Winter Talisman Seed, Twisted Dust Flower, used as medicine to soothe the mind."
Her voice was much colder than Ning Yun expected. In fact, her appearance also made Ning Yun confused.
It's an old friend.
His old friend.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
As if forgetting the past, Ning Yun looked at the girl who slowly turned around and smiled.
"Aluo."
