My Endless Life.

Chapter 544 Safety Device Failure
Li Qi sensed the emotion in Angel.

I could also hear Angel's thoughts from her hesitant words.

But Li Qi did not answer, and it was impossible for him to answer. He just pinched his fingers anxiously, took a deep breath and said:
"Let's go back."

In fact, Li Qi didn't know how to face Angel.

If you want to treat her as your own daughter, the Angel here is not the real Angel.

She is merely a replica with the same memories and appearance.

But...if you really care about these things, Li Qi doesn't really care that much.

After all, he had never met Angel, and Angel had never enjoyed the fatherly love she deserved.

But what is certain is that Angel still wants to have a father in her heart.

Otherwise, the alchemy doll named Angel next to her would not have such feelings for Li Qi.

But now, no matter what Li Qi thought of Angel, he couldn't show it.

The two are now just "collaborators" with a certain cooperative relationship, not father and daughter.

After leaving the garden, the two returned to the manor and met the one-eyed girl Camilla who was helping to sort out the internal affairs of the manor, and Hongye who was helping her.

After Camilla introduced herself last night, Angel arranged for her to wait outside the manor. Once everyone moved into the manor, they naturally took over the task of tidying up the manor.

Camilla is a magician and has mastered some cleaning magic, so cleaning the manor is not too difficult for her.

But Hongye, a mecha master without any magic power, can only do some physical work and help carry heavy objects.

The two of them worked for the entire day and finally managed to arrange everything in the manor.

When Li Qi and Angel came over, they were resting in the hall.

Seeing the two people coming over, Camilla stood up first and saluted them, and then set her eyes on Angel:
"...that...Angel...ancestor..."

Camilla wants to call Angel her grandmother.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard Angel say:
"Just call me sister, Meimei too. I don't like you calling me old."

As Angel said this, she glanced at Meimei who had just walked down from the second floor.

Meimei stopped and winked at Angel.

What's going on? Suddenly, the seniority has doubled?

Camilla didn't have as many thoughts as Meimei. After hearing what Angel said, she took a deep breath and nodded:

"Then I'm sorry, Sister Angel."

"It's nothing disrespectful. Come here and let me see."

Angel waved at Camilla, as if calling the owner of a pet. Camilla didn't think too much and walked in front of Angel and half squatted down.

Camilla's height is actually not much different from Hongye, and is a little taller than Li Qi before he disguised himself.

Angel is shorter. She is petite and cute, only about 1.55 meters tall.

Camilla stood in front of Angel and could only half squat to look Angel in the eye.

Seeing Camilla walking in front of her, Angel reached out and took off Camilla's blindfold.

Revealing the artificial eye with a golden pupil.

"Hmmm, this eye is very nice. Was it made by Nova?"

The 'Nova' that Angel mentioned is the ancestor of Camilla's family.

Camilla nodded: "Yes, this is our branch's heirloom. It has the ability to see the flow of magic power and see through the alchemical circuit."

After hearing what Camilla said, Li Qi looked over here.

He looked at Camilla's other brown pupil, raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, every time someone in your family inherits this eye, they have to dig out one of their own eyes first?"

"Yes."

Camilla nodded without changing her expression.

Li Qi didn't comment on this. He shook his head and stopped paying attention to what was happening between Camilla and Angel, and looked at Hongye on the other side.

No one knew what Hongye wanted to do. He just kept following Camilla and didn't seem to have any intention of completing the task or earning points.

Li Qi also felt it difficult to reveal his identity directly.

So I can only hint at it in my current capacity.

"Your name is...Jenna?"

Sitting opposite the sofa, looking at Hongye who was sitting properly, Li Qi asked expressionlessly.

Hongye sat up straight upon hearing this, and said tremblingly:

"Yes... yes! My name is Jenna, may I ask... what instructions do you have?"

"You don't seem to be a magician?"

Li Qi raised his eyebrows and directly revealed Hongye's identity.

Hongye broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing that. She stammered, "I...I...I am the...alchemical puppet...driver, and I also learned some...fighting skills...that..." She became more and more nervous as she spoke, and her hands unconsciously rested on her waist, where the escape device was located.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you, how many people like you are there who have mastered another kind of power?"

Li Qi crossed his legs and pretended to be a local and asked Hongye.

Angel beside him also looked over when he heard this.

She knew that it was not convenient for Li Qi to reveal his identity now, whether it was his identity in this world or his identity in the interstellar world.

So there are some things that Li Qi is not suitable to say.

But Hongye had no problem, and since she chose to stay, she should have been mentally prepared to tell these things.

After hearing what Li Qi said, Hongye felt more relaxed. The fact that the other party chose to ask her proved that he had no intention of hurting her, at least not for the time being.

As for why the other party asked this, Hongye had no doubts.

The previous mechanic attacked this local magician. It was reasonable for the local magician to discover their "specialness" and know that they had mastered another kind of power and planned to retaliate.

Thinking of this, Hongye adjusted her mood and replied in a low voice:
"I...actually I'm not sure, but...there should be a few hundred people, and I don't know where they are."

"In other words, the person who attacked me earlier has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course not!" Hongye shook her head repeatedly: "If we talk about relationship, it's only competition... hostility!"

"Hostile? Will you fight each other?" Angel came over and asked.

Hongye nodded: "That's right, so if you need my help with anything, just ask. As long as we can get rid of them... I can do anything for you!"

Hongye didn't feel embarrassed when she said this.

Relying on the power of the natives of the secret realm to eliminate one's opponents is also a strategy, and she believes that she is not the only one who does this.

Besides, the two people in front of him should be the strongest in this secret realm. If Hongye doesn’t hug such a thick thigh quickly, then he would be a real fool!
Hearing Hongye's solemn promise, Angel looked at her deeply, then turned to look at Li Qi and asked:
"Now that she's saying that, what are you going to do?"

"Let's first get all the rats out of the city."

Reach downplayed the decision.

For the local residents, these mechanics and mecha technicians are unstable factors. Li Qi has no control over other places, but this place has been regarded as his own territory by Li Qi.

He won't allow anyone to mess up the city.

We don’t want today’s attack to happen again.

So whether he is starting out as a contestant from the interstellar world or judging from his identity as the God of Alchemy in this world, Li Qi should first clean up the contestants from this city.

"I see. I'll borrow her then."

Angel understood Li Qi's idea. She nodded and dragged Hongye away to clean up the other contestants in the city.

Angel acted quickly. In order to have more time to discuss alchemy with Li Qi, she put in almost 120% effort to clear the "rats" in the city.

During this period, Li Qi carefully read the alchemy notes left by Angel and absorbed Angel's alchemy knowledge.

Everyone was busy with their own things, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Only after he had completely settled down in Urno did Li Qi open the ranking list again.

First of all, Li Qi’s estimation was correct. The time in this world was different from that in the outside world. The fact that they had not been teleported away after three days was the best proof.

This means that everyone has a long time to build their own power and complete their own tasks.

The person who now tops the list is undoubtedly Li Qi himself.

He has become an object of respect by a country, and the fame he has gained has far surpassed that of others, firmly ranking first.

As for the second place... it was a boy named Winster. Although his points were far behind Li Qi, he still exceeded those of the others. No one knew what he had done.

For the remaining people, the points gap is not very big. Obviously, they have not found a suitable way to complete the task yet.

During this period, Li Qi also paid special attention to the movements of his other teammate Milia, and found that her ranking was hovering around 100th place. She was not eliminated, but she was not too outstanding either.

On the contrary, both her classmates Lana and Zoe ranked relatively high and were the best among the contestants.

However, compared to them, there is one person who is doing worse and is ranked almost last.

This person is Aphissia. No one knows what she is doing. Her points have not changed much and are still in single digits.

"Is this guy going to give up?"

Seeing that Ephisia's ranking had not changed much, Li Qi couldn't help but have such a guess.

But Sophie was watching outside. Even if Ephisia wanted to give up, she couldn't do it in front of Sophie...

Or did something happen to her?

Li Qi still cares a little about his childhood sweetheart.

But before he could care about Ephisia, another incident happened and attracted Li Qi's attention.

On the fourth day when Angel and Hongye worked together to clear the contestants in the city, they actually caught a contestant!
And from her, I got a shocking fact.

The safety device used to escape from this secret place seems to be ineffective.
