"Oh it's you?!"
The blond-haired woman seemed to recognize Zhou Jinru, and her expression suddenly changed. She pointed her fingertips at Zhou Jinru, and a ray of electric light flickered on his body, which only made him slightly numb.
"Why did you hit me?!"
Zhou Jinru was a little angry. Why did this person give him a lightning bolt as soon as they met? !
Is she also the stupid tauren shaman from the mountain pass?
The blond woman was none other than Jing Zhe, but as a noble of the Yan Kingdom, why did she appear in Seria's underground city?
"What, you're actually alive?!"
It turns out she had the wrong person.
However, Zhou Jinru didn't show a good face. He ducked around and rushed towards the large Originium Insect that was approaching the defensive line. He knocked over two high-energy explosive Originium Insects with the shield in his hand, and inserted the knife in his hand into the enemy's body. It directly detonated the opponent, blowing up an ordinary source stone insect to pieces.
The girl holding the black flag saw Zhou Jinru who was deep into the Origin Stone insect swarm at a glance. Her eyes lit up, and with a flick of her wrist, she rolled the black flag around the front of the spear and shouted: "Go on!"
Zhou Jinru turned his head, and a black stream of light flashed across his face. The black flag fell in front of him and was inserted into an Originium Insect.
"I don't need short- to medium-range weapons."
Zhou Jinru carried the sword and shield behind his back and reached out to grab the spear. The moment his fingers touched the barrel of the gun, there was a stabbing sound in his ears, and everything in front of him came to a standstill.
"able……"
"Can hear..."
"Can you hear me?"
The sound of electricity in my ears turned into the voice of a woman speaking.
Zhou Jinru didn't respond, he was waiting for the other party to speak.
"Okay, I know you can hear me. Don't be so cautious. I'm your colleague. You should trust me. You must have got my flag."
"Is this yours? Who are you?"
Zhou Jinru looked at the black flag in his hand and asked his doubts. Then there was another sound of electricity, as if the signal was very poor.
"The signal is really bad. To make a long story short, all the information I left for you is on the black flag. As long as you can get it, you can get the right to use it by signing the lease agreement. Don't worry, since you can enter the sinking world, it means Everything is going according to plan, you have to trust me as much as you trust the rigid shield and the empire behind us."
Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of electricity. Zhou Jinru waited patiently for a long time, and the woman's voice became even more ethereal: "...You must find the black flag, you will not have another chance!"
boom!
Time resumed flowing, and Zhou Jinru held the black flag in his hand. To his surprise, he did not find any lease agreement.
"She said she must find the black flag. Does that mean it's not the black flag I'm holding now?"
Zhou Jinru realized a problem. Since the woman said this was a sinking world, then Myrtle in the real world should also have a black flag, and that was the item he should be looking for.
"Trust her like a rigid shield, and the empire behind them..."
Zhou Jinru clenched the black flag in his hand. He didn't know how to use spears, but he could still poke the source stone bug with it. What surprised him was that the spear head, which didn't look very sharp, penetrated easily. The body of the large source stone insect directly ended the opponent's life.
The front end of the gun barrel was stained with the hot bodily fluids of the Originium Insect, but there was no damage at all. This time Zhou Jinru really believed that what the other party said was true. There was no problem at all. The black flag became a magic weapon in his hands.
"Wow, so it's really that powerful?"
Myrtle, who was concentrating on treating the wounded, exclaimed.
Zhou Jinru became more and more courageous as he fought. No Source Stone Insect could survive a round in his hands. The guards who stayed here launched a counterattack with excitement, and wiped out the Source Stone Insect swarm like a sweep.
The two combatants who fought back with the guards praised: "Mr. Aguang is really powerful. If it were us, we would definitely have no attack effect against that big guy without losing any members."
Zhou Jinru agreed twice. He looked at the black flag in his hand, frowned, and thought for a while before handing it back to Myrtle. At least it wasn't his property here.
"Doctor, this is what Ms. Dawson gave you. I'm just keeping it for you."
Nine years later, Myrtle is still the same, no different from Li Hui. The only difference is that she has changed into gray work clothes.
"Although I am a doctor, I am not a doctor in this world."
"ah?"
Myrtle opened her mouth wide and her eyes were full of disappointment: "It turns out that our doctor is really dead. I thought he could live again."
Zhou Jinru sighed. This was probably the real reason why he couldn't pick up the flag.
On the other side, Jingzhe stayed in place to rest. At first, she thought Zhou Jinru was the dead person, so she directly gave him a bolt of lightning. Only now did she realize that they were not the same person.
"Sorry, I didn't understand. It's my fault."
Jingzhe finally apologized to Zhou Jinru, and she continued: "I thought you were him. I saw him die with my own eyes, and I thought it was some kind of evil spell, but you really look alike. It feels like you are the same person."
It is indeed the same person, but the time and space are different.
Zhou Jinru thought again of the woman he just heard saying that everything was planned. It seemed that he in this world should have reached some agreement with the other party. It was the same as what he saw in the white-faced owl's diary. They should know each other.
"I know what you want to say. It's too early now. The battle is not over yet. If you have anything to say, you can wait until everything is over."
He interrupted Jingzhe's intention to continue. Since there was no Wei Na here, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
"The danger has been resolved. The first priority now is to recover the power control room. I'm leaving. Let's have tea together when we have time."
Greeting the two combatants, they prepared to return in a minecart.
"Wait a moment."
Jingzhe called them from behind.
"What more questions do you have now?"
"……fine."
Jingzhe hesitated and finally said nothing.
Zhou Jinru shook his head and returned directly to the main city. When they were halfway there, there was another roar. This time it seemed that some kind of creature had launched an attack. The tunnel leading to the mining area trembled violently and lasted for more than ten seconds. Then the shaking stopped, and the whole world became quiet, and not even a sound could be heard.
After a few seconds, everything returned to normal. Zhou Jinru felt a tightness in his chest and felt like vomiting. He endured the dizziness, held on to the edge of the mine cart, and asked about the situation of the two combatants.
"I'm okay."
"I'm fine too."
Soon, he got a response.
