Chapter 84: The Blooming of the Black Rose

"Of course." Bai Zhu pushed up his glasses, a cold light reflected from the lenses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I followed you into the group, have you forgotten?"

"You must be very tired lately."

"Hahaha, I'm a little confused." Langley shrugged and laughed in relief, his laughter echoing in the empty training room.

However, her laughter stopped abruptly, and her expression instantly turned cold. Her eyes pierced Bai Zhu like a knife, and her voice was low and cold: "I clearly remember killing you."

Bai Zhu was still smiling, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his glasses, his voice still gentle and calm: "Team Leader, you need to rest."

Before he finished speaking, Langley moved as fast as lightning.

With a flick of her wrist, a pitch-black sickle with a red glow materialized from thin air, its blade gleaming with cold light. Her eyes were cold and sharp, and her voice was low but full of pressure: "I may be tired, but I never make mistakes!"

Bai Zhu's smile froze on his face, his pupils shrank slightly, but his body did not move at all, as if bound by some invisible force.

The sickle cut through the air and rushed straight towards Bai Zhu's chest with a sharp sound. The blade pierced into the flesh, making a teeth-grinding "puff" sound, and blood gushed out and splashed on the floor.

"Who the hell are you!" Langley pulled out the sickle, and the blood dripping from the blade splashed on the floor. Her voice was as cold as ice.

Bai Zhu looked down at the wound that pierced his chest. The corner of his mouth twitched and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He smiled ghostly and said weakly: "Team leader, wake up!"

"Team leader!"

A loud voice exploded in Langley's mind. She was startled and the scene before her eyes shattered like struck glass.

The sickle in his hand disappeared, and Bai Zhu's body and blood were nowhere to be seen, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"Team leader!" Another shout came from the door.

Langley looked towards the sound and saw Bai Zhu standing there as if nothing had happened, holding a patrol list in his hand. He asked calmly, "Which area am I patrolling tonight?"

A chill ran up Lanli's spine and up to the back of her head. She stared at Bai Zhu intently, trying to find a flaw in his face. Her voice was a little hoarse: "You were here the whole time?"

"Yes, team leader." Bai Zhu pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light. "Are you too tired? I can be on duty alone tonight."

Langley did not answer. Her fingers clenched and unclenched unconsciously. Finally, she raised her hand and tapped her temples lightly a few times, muttering to herself.

"Boss, can you see it?"

【I see】

An insensible voice vibrated in Langley's temple.

[You were going crazy alone the whole time]

Humans are so fragile

【I can’t live without eating, I can’t live without sleeping】

"Mirror images?" Langley frowned and muttered, "Do I hold such a strong grudge against my team members?"

“No, there’s something wrong with this guy.”

"how come."

If what happened just now was an illusion, it was too real. The warmth of the blood is still there.

Let's take a break first.

You're not in good condition

[No duty tonight]

"I understand." Langley frowned and responded helplessly.

Dozens of kilometers away, in front of the Bluwater Apartment, Victoria pressed the doorbell, and the iron door made a slight "click" sound and then slid open automatically.

Xier stepped forward, a soft light flickering in her mechanical eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

【Welcome back】

[Tonight's dinner is pan-fried foie gras with apple sauce, grilled lamb chops with herbs, Kung Pao chicken, and braised choy sum with mushrooms...]

She listed many dishes in a row with a hint of pride in her tone.

Victoria nodded, her eyes calmly sweeping over Xier's face, then she took off her coat and hung it on the hanger at the door.

[Miss Hua's fiancé? ]

Victoria didn't speak, but Xier was able to receive her questions through the data link.

He seems to understand nothing.

[Very friendly person]

He said Xi'er was an angel.

Victoria shook her head and said nothing. She transmitted a long message to Xier through the data link, the content of which was roughly "Men's mouths are lies."

Xier received a flash of realization in her mechanical eyes and nodded slightly.

Humans are so complex, and we learn so much.

At nine o'clock, dinner at Bluewater Apartment officially began.

The crystal chandelier cast a soft light, and the long table was filled with sumptuous dishes, the aroma overflowing, but it could not cover up the awkwardness in the air.

Li Guanqi felt very uncomfortable, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the edge of the table, his eyes wandering between the cutlery and plates, occasionally glancing at Victoria across from him.

"Just two people in such a big apartment?" Li Guanqi muttered to himself, his fingers lightly stroking the tablecloth.

He was ready to introduce himself and get to know his neighbors, but he found that only Victoria was there.

"If it's a group of people, it's called an introduction. If it's just one person, it's called a chat."

Xier stood aside, smiling and pouring drinks for the two of them in a gentle voice.

【Please enjoy your meal】

Li Guanqi picked up the wine glass and took a sip, trying to ease the embarrassment. His eyes fell on Victoria again. She was dressed exquisitely, sitting quietly with her eyes lowered, gently fiddling with the cabbage on the plate with a fork.

"Hello, my name is Li Guanqi." Li Guanqi raised his glass slightly and said softly, "I'm staying in room 106 today."

Victoria raised her head and glanced at him without responding. She pulled out a sign from under the table that read: "102."

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned and didn't know how to respond. He was very confused.

Holding a sign. Mute? Or is it just a self-created persona?
Victoria seemed to know what he was thinking and held up another sign: "Not dumb."

[Miss Victoria can't speak yet]

As if receiving some command code, Xier stopped her explanation.

"I understand." Li Guanqi nodded politely.

In fact, he didn't understand at all. He looked like a teenager, but couldn't speak?

"Ah——" a howl came from 104.

Qi Mengsi burst out of the door, looking very angry.

Xier comforted her: [Miss Hua, it’s dinner time.]

"Sorry, sorry." Qi Mengsi sighed softly and sat down next to Victoria. Like a gangster boss, she greeted, "Little rabbit, how come you have time to come back today?"

Victoria was about to raise the sign.

Qi Mengsi chuckled and snatched her sign away in a mischievous manner: "Come on, come on, talk a few words and practice some exercises."

[Miss Hua, we have guests tonight]

"Guest?" Qi Mengsi finally realized that there was a handsome boy sitting across from her at the table. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

Victoria grabbed the sign back and wrote, "Your spouse."

"Ahem—" Qi Mengsi's chest twitched, and he muttered, "It seems like there is such a person."

"Hello there."

She raised her hand awkwardly to greet people, then quickly lowered her head, as if she was too embarrassed to see anyone.

Li Guanqi nodded and responded: "Hello."

His fiancée appears to be a cool goddess in public, but secretly she does things like snatching the child's speaking board.

"You've just"

"Did anything happen during the duel?"

Li Guanqi picked up a piece of meat and started the conversation. Before they parted, she said she was going to log in, probably for the Metaverse event.

It's quite interesting to talk about dueling while having a meal.

Let’s hear if there is any operation that can be used with rice.

"I feel depressed when I talk about this." Qi Mengsi suddenly opened up, filled with righteous indignation, "My winning streak is broken."

The winning streak is broken. These four simple words express all the sadness.

"How did it break?" Li Guanqi asked curiously.

Qi Mengsi pursed her lips and said, "I drew a card that I can't use."

Li Guanqi understood it instantly. It was so true that it made people feel sympathy. He gambled on his fate and thought it would be [Arianna], but the result was [Silly White].

"Why do you need to place two cards for [Sublimation]?" Qi Mengsi was still confused and had no mood to eat.

Li Guanqi said expressionlessly, "Who is [Sublimation]?"

"It's not someone, it's [Blooming of the Black Rose]."

"What effect?"

"Usually, the first effect of a trap is to special summon a token, and the second is a graveyard effect. It can temporarily banish the [Black Rose Dragon] on the field to avoid the effect."

"Sounds like something sub-zero and expensive."

The effect sounds useful, but is often a trap.

"It can be searched." Qi Mengsi added.

"Then next one at most."

"But someone wants me to play second fiddle."

"Whoever it is, beat her to death."

"I don't dare go. She'll play a [Red Lotus Devil. Evil] during my turn."

"This... has come to this."

"Let's eat first."

At the same time, three thousand meters below the surface of the Arctic, a mechanical exploration insect arrived at the gate of Silver City.

This is a scout commonly used by explorers to confirm that the silver haze has dissipated and grab a position at the door in advance.

"The smog has dissipated."

"Walk, walk, walk, wrong way, there are two lines of words!"

The explorer in the background slowly zoomed in the camera, and in the dim fluorescent light, he could clearly make out two lines of words on the stone tablet in front of the door.

"Starting from August 1067, 8, Silver City will be closed to visitors."

"Until you hand over the human whose Metaverse ID is Silver City's Son-in-Law?!"
