I loaded the dream game

"Xia Zhi, can I eat that?" Ailu pointed to the cream bread on the table, looked up at Xia Zhi and asked for his opinion.

"No." Xia Zhi refused decisively.

"We're going to have dinner soon. If you eat this, will you still be able to eat dinner?"

"Well...how about I eat less for dinner?" Ai Luke thought about it and gave his own solution.

Summer Solstice: "..."

You are such a genius to move the "quota" from the main meal to dessert.

but……

"I still refuse!" Xia Zhi gently tapped her head and rejected it: "Can't you just save this thing for a midnight snack?"

"But... if the cream bread is left for too long, it won't taste good." Ai Luke expressed his concerns.

Xia Zhi thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"Then I'll help you eat it."

"Eh?"

Can it still be like this?

Eluke puffed up his face in anger again.

"Xiazhi, bullying..."

Watching the interaction between the two people in front of him, Alastair only felt more and more confused.

Judging from Xia Zhi's relaxed performance, it was obvious that Aluko's appearance did not cause him any burden. At the same time, Aluko's existence did not seem to be affected in any way.

This is not normal.

If a being that does not exist in this world wants to appear in this world and exercise its power, it must rely on the consumption of the power of existence. The more powerful the Red World Apostle is, the more power of existence is needed to maintain its existence in this world. Because of this, they have to "prey" on humans to obtain the power of existence.

However, with such powerful strength, Eluk was able to easily maintain his existence in the world without any additional supplementary power of existence.

There are only two explanations for this.

One is that Xia Zhi himself provides all the power to sustain Ailu's existence.

The second reason is that she originally existed in this world, just like the humans who were the contractors. She naturally no longer needed to consume additional energy to exercise her power in the world.

But neither of these two explanations seems likely.

Alastair fell into deep thought.

unless……

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and the way he looked at Xia Zhi and Ai Lu Ke also changed a little...

Chapter 303: The Girl's Change

This is a space with only beams, columns and floors.

There were no walls, and rows of white columns were neatly arranged around it. The pitch-black, crystal-like ground reflected the endless starry sky above, and on both sides was an endless void with no end in sight.

In the center of this open circular space surrounded by beams and columns, an altar made of pure white stone rises high, like an ice cube floating on the dark sea.

The tranquility and sacred atmosphere that permeates the surroundings remind people of the dignified temples of ancient times.

On the pure white altar, a young girl was kneeling with her hands crossed and clasped in front of her chest, her eyes closed as if praying. There was no aura emanating from her body, but one could feel an extraordinary sacredness and solemnity.

She was a petite girl wearing a loose cloak and a big hat.

The girl has shoulder-length light blue hair and is dressed in a sacred white outfit, like a priest. Under her loose hat, which is like a doctoral cap, is a delicate face that is childish but inorganic, like a crystal clear ice sculpture carved at below zero degrees.

Under the blue flames that were so pale that they were almost transparent and flickering like stars, the girl closed her eyes and prayed quietly, as if she was in eternal ice that had lasted for millions of years, adding a touch of cold silence to the sacred atmosphere around her.

However, this sense of silence was broken in the next second.

"Tattoo..."

In the silent temple-like space, a very abrupt sound of footsteps was heard.

The girl did not open her eyes, as if she had no interest in who was coming.

"Hey... don't be so cold. It's a rare occasion for me to come back, so why don't you welcome me? My lovely "Top Seat" Hecate?"

The familiar voice behind her made the girl's eyelashes move slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"It's really rare that you come to Xingli Palace, "Thousand Changes" Xiu Denan."

An ethereal and clear voice sounded in the hall. The girl Hecate turned around and looked at the man in the black suit behind her with eyes as clear as crystal:

"Besides, I am not yours."

"Don't insult me ​​like that... My lovely Hecate, don't look at me like this, I'm actually a home-loving man." Xiu Denan smiled bitterly and spoke with a slightly difficult voice while panting slightly.

"..." Hecate did not dwell on the man's words any more, but fixed her eyes on Xiudenan, as if she had discovered something extremely rare.

"General, are you injured?" the girl asked.

...Heh, have you been discovered?

Xiu Denan walked in front of the girl and heaved a long sigh of relief. He finally stopped holding on. His burly body swayed slightly and he fell straight towards the girl.

then……

"boom!"

He fell hard to the ground.

"..."

Looking at the girl who had retreated to the side at some point, Xiu Denan fell silent.

At this moment, he felt that all the injuries he had suffered before were not as serious as the one he suffered just now.

However, he quickly forgave the girl in his heart.

Firstly, he couldn't feel any blame towards his lovely Hecate, and secondly, he didn't have time to think about all these things for the moment.

"Listen to me, Hecate..."

Xiu Denan's voice was extremely weak, but he still managed to warn the girl: "Tell the others that before I recover, no matter what... do not get close to... Misaki City..."

"..."

Listening to the man's voice getting smaller and smaller and finally disappearing, Hecate was silent for a moment. She no longer paid attention to Xiudenan who was lying motionless on the ground, but turned her head to look into the distance beyond the distant void.

"Misaki City..."

In the hall, only the girl's ethereal and clear murmurs were left echoing softly...

……

Later, Xia Zhi and Shana asked about it. After hearing that she had met four Red World Apostles in a row that day, they couldn't help but sigh that the girl's luck was really bad. She probably would be stuck with five bottles in a row when buying a bottle of Coke from a vending machine.

After hearing what he said, the girl rolled her eyes at him unhappily, but surprisingly didn't say much... Maybe even she herself felt that her luck that day was very bad.

However, although they encountered four Red World apostles, except for Fariagni who was clearly destroyed and the monster that was blasted away to an unknown place by Xia Zhi at the beginning, Shana and Alastair could not feel the breath of the remaining two apostles after the incident.

I guess they either escaped or were affected by the nuclear explosion and died together.

Compared to the cities and lives that could be repaired afterwards, the Red World Apostles who relied on their own strength and were not separated from cause and effect seemed extremely vulnerable at this moment.

But these are not what Xia Zhi is concerned about right now. He is busy preparing to confiscate... ahem, sorting out the belongings of the deceased.

"By the way...where should I start organizing this?"

Looking at the pile of various miscellaneous items that looked like toys and props in front of him, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a headache.

I didn’t expect that Fariagni, who looks glamorous on the surface, is actually so sloppy and lazy behind the scenes... Doesn’t he even know how to put things in order?

It’s no wonder that a “hunter” who claims to possess many kinds of treasures only uses those few kinds of treasures over and over again in battle... It must have taken a lot of effort for him to find the treasure he wants from this mountain of debris, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and set his eyes on the black-haired girl who was also silent beside him.

"...Shana."

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi tried to call the girl's name softly.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Shana came back to her senses from her thoughts and turned to look at him in confusion.

Sure enough, she didn't seem to mind at all that I called her that.

However, in just less than a day, such a big change has taken place...

Is it related to him, or is it the girl's own fault?

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and decided to give it a try, so he called out to the girl again: "Nana?"

"...?"

The girl frowned slightly and gave him a look that asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

No reaction to this?

"...Don't you think this name is cute?"

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi explained it carefully, and then continued to "press further" and asked: "How about I call you this from now on?"

"..."

Looking at the "井" character that appeared on the girl's forehead and the sword that she slowly pulled out from her coat, Xia Zhi fell silent.

Well, it’s probably not my fault.

However, what Xia Zhi did not see was that while he was thinking this in his heart, the girl's face, which was slightly drooping under the shadow on the other side, was now flushed...

Chapter 304: A pile of treasures? A pile of miscellaneous items!

Although Fariagni, as a "hunter" who likes to collect treasures, has collected countless treasures in recent years, in fact, there are not many of them that are of real practical value.

Although treasures such as those that can conceal one's own aura and communicate with people over long distances are no longer of much use now, or alternatives with the same effects can be easily found, Xia Zhi can still more or less understand the purpose and use of their original creation.

However, he really couldn't figure out what kind of moods and wishes the humans and apostles had in mind when creating treasures like the "rabbit doll that specializes in scaring young girls", the "yellow vest that can control stair steps when worn", and the "music box that can soothe the dead", which would allow these treasures to appear from their wishes.

"Rather than calling it a treasure, it's better to say that it's just a pile of non-recyclable waste." Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

He finally understood why Fariagni piled these treasures here like useless junk... because they were indeed useless.

To be honest, if the dream game hadn't given him a side quest to "properly handle Fariagni's relics and prevent them from flowing into normal human society", and if Shana wasn't also very concerned about this matter, Xia Zhi wouldn't have really wanted to come.

"Why not just throw them all into my personal universe?" Xia Zhi thought to himself.

[You have triggered a new side quest: Transform a Noble Phantasm to increase its applicable range/basic performance/maximum limit by at least 50%]

[Task Reward: 150 Dream Points]

"..."

Well, now that you put it that way.

Xia Zhi thought about it and felt that this was not a difficult task... In other words, if the target was chosen well, these 150 dream points could basically be considered free. So he happily accepted them, and his impatience just now was instantly swept away.

Just as he was thinking about which treasure to choose for transformation, his eyes suddenly caught sight of Eluke beside him. She was looking at the black-haired girl not far away, then lowered her head to look at her long crimson hair, with a puzzled look on her face, as if something made her very concerned.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xia Zhi thought about it, reached out and poked her pink face, and asked curiously.

"Summer Solstice..."

Ai Lu Ke shook his head first, avoiding his mischievous hand, then raised his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression on his face and asked: "Why can't my hair turn black?"

So this is what you care about? Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

Shana's hair was originally black, she just dyed it temporarily, so it is of course different from your natural red hair.

Moreover……

"Doesn't the crimson color look good now?" He said as he rubbed the girl's long, smooth hair that felt very nice to the touch.

"But..." Ai Luke pouted slightly and said unhappily: "I want to be the same as Xia Zhi..."

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: "Why do you want to be like me?"
