I loaded the dream game

She blinked, wondering if she had heard it wrongly.

"What?" Xia Zhi looked at her suspiciously and continued to ask, "It was you who came to me without my permission before, and it was you who said you had chosen me. Now, after only a few days, you are planning to go back on your word?"

"I don't regret it!" Cong Yu blushed and retorted loudly: "It's just that we can't leave here!"

"Who cares about you?" Xia Zhi pretended to be annoyed and said, "I took advantage of you so much, and if you just run away without my permission, wouldn't I be at a big loss?"

"You actually said that I took advantage of you, but that was my first kiss!" The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes, not even caring about being shy, and shouted loudly with a red face...

"You came up to me on your own... and you didn't touch me completely, did you?"

"That kind of statement is just self-consolation. I will never admit it!"

Admit it or not... Am I helping you make excuses?

"Anyway, I don't care what your reasons are. If you did something like that, you have to take responsibility, right?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi added: "This is an order from the master."

"How can this be possible..."

The girl calmed down a little, blushed, lowered her head and whispered: "Making that kind of decision for others without permission... Master, you are really overbearing..."

"Didn't you also take it upon yourself to acknowledge me as your master? It's the same thing, right?" Xia Zhi responded.

"But, it still won't work..." The girl took a deep breath, shook her head and said, "We have our own responsibilities and missions..."

The reason why she didn't tell her master about this was because he was, after all, an outsider who was implicated by her without her permission. It was already very irresponsible of her to do so, and she didn't want to force him into these troubles anymore. But that didn't mean that her duties and mission no longer existed.

"Don't worry about these..." Xia Zhi gently rubbed her head and said again: "...didn't I just say that?"

"I, your master, can do anything."

Even though I was entangled by her without her permission, since I have become the girl's master, I should at least fulfill my responsibilities as a master, right?

"So... don't worry, just leave everything to me."

"Owner……"

Cong Yu stared at the young man in front of him with a flickering light in his eyes. After a long while, he pursed his lips and said, "We..."

"……elder brother?"

Before she could finish her next words, she heard a familiar girl's surprised voice coming from the street nearby.

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a familiar figure on the street.

It's Xia Zhi...

He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when he saw the girl looking at the two ice cream cups on the table in front of him for a while, then glanced at the "empty" seat opposite him with a puzzled expression.

Then, as if she had thought of something, Xia Zhi raised her head, looked at the boy with an apologetic look, and said softly in a tone as if coaxing a child: "I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't have left you alone... Let's go home together, okay?"

Summer Solstice:…

Can you tell me what you thought of?

Chapter 448: How to remove the curse simply and quickly?

After all, he made a promise and said those words just to show off, so Xia Zhi must of course show some enthusiasm accordingly.

Since Cong Yu cannot leave here for some reason, then all we have to do is solve that "reason", right?

The first thing Xia Zhi thought of was the story about the divine sword that Yang Nai had told them before.

To some extent, the story she told did have some truth, such as the part about the monster and the magic sword.

But a story is a story after all, and it contains some artistic processing.

In the more realistic story told by Cong Yu later, there was no beautiful witch who brought disaster to the country and the people, but only a fight between the two heirs to the country.

It doesn't matter what the moral characters of the two heirs are, who is right and who is wrong, or how the disagreement arose.

In short, the final result was that the eldest son, as the brother, rebelled against the country and cursed his relatives.

The curse was so powerful that it implicated the entire country and brought disaster to the land.

There were famines and epidemics caused by the bad years, and landslides and river flooding caused by heavy rains.

Unfortunate events happened one after another, and neighboring countries took the opportunity to attack.

When the second son was forced into a desperate situation and had no choice but to pray to God, the God responded to his wish.

In his dream, he learned about the existence of a certain knife and the method to overcome the curse.

He followed the method in his dream with the mentality of grasping at the last straw, and in order to make the necessary sacrifices, he chose a "farm girl who was born with poor health" as the human pillar. He was given the divine sword "Musumemaru" that could eliminate misfortune and defeat curses, and won the war with the neighboring country.

However, the power of the curse did not disappear, but continued to this day...

"So you are still a sickly girl?"

After listening to the whole story, Xia Zhi looked at the girl in front of him and sighed.

Although it was mentioned briefly, it is self-evident who the "girl with poor health" in the story refers to.

Honestly, looking at her lively appearance now, it is hard to imagine how she was when she was nearly dying of illness.

Could this be considered a certain degree of spiritual ascension?

"Is this the point of the matter?" Cong Yu couldn't help but complain.

Shouldn't we be paying attention to the curse? It's a powerful curse that has been around for five hundred years and still has not weakened at all? Could you please be more serious?

"I'm always serious, right?"

As Xia Zhi spoke, he glanced at the long sword in his hand that he had pulled out of the stone again, raised his head and looked at the mountain in front of him and asked: "So, as long as the curse and filth that resides on this mountain are completely purified, the mission of "Cong Yu Wan" will be completed, and your duty will also be over, right?"

"That's true... but it's not that simple."

Otherwise, the curse would not have been impossible to eradicate for hundreds of years.

Cong Yu hesitated: "Sure enough, Master, we should..."

"Bam—"

Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of burning flames.

Then, in her astonished eyes, bright sparks rose up and turned into a tangible wall of fire, enveloping the entire sky and earth.

A strange geometric square diagram drawn by flames, which could not be identified as text or graphics, instantly expanded and reached the location of the wall of flames.

Immediately, the color of space and all things changed. The bright red color replaced the colorful world, and the stagnant space and time solidified together.

The world falls into silence.

"..."

Looking at the world in front of him where time seemed to have stood still and everything had stopped moving, Cong Yu's face was filled with astonishment and surprise.

"Master...what is this?" She turned around blankly and looked at the young man beside her.

"Although we chose the dark time on purpose, there might be a lot of noise later, so let's isolate ourselves from the world for now." Xia Zhi explained.

"So that's how it is... Do you think that if you just explain it this way, we can understand it like this?" Cong Yu complained.

Moreover, is something like "isolating the world" really something that can be said in such a casual tone?

If he had only had a feeling before, now Cong Yu could finally confirm...his master seemed to be a little unusual.

"As for the method...it's actually quite simple." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and continued, "Look, our goal is to completely purify the curse, right?"

"Yeah." Cong Yu nodded her head.

"And according to you, the curse is attached to this mountain, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Although there are some differences, this is basically the case.

"In that case, can't we just blow up the entire mountain and completely eradicate the curse?"

"Hmm...hmm?" Cong Yu nodded subconsciously, and then quickly realized something was wrong.

What had she just heard? Blowing up a mountain?

Are you serious?

The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional at this kind of thing." Xia Zhi said confidently.

Although Hubie had asked if she needed help before, Xia Zhi later declined her kindness.

After all, when it comes to removing curses, nuclear fusion strike is more professional than "Yanlong Xiao" and "Tianji".

What's more, if any unexpected situation happens, Xia Zhi and the others will still need her protection.

As he thought to himself, he condensed a blazing white ball of light in his hand.

"Om-"

With the appearance of the light ball, the surrounding temperature began to rise sharply. The air was ionized at an extremely high temperature and began to jump on the surface of the light ball, pulling out strands of blue electric current and making a "sizzling" sound that made people's scalps numb.

Even without direct contact, Cong Yu could feel the terrifying energy contained in the ball of light... or rather, the extreme level of energy concentration had reached a point where even an ordinary person could instinctively sense the danger.

If this energy were to fully explode...

"Wait, Master!"

The girl subconsciously wanted to speak out to stop him, but before she could finish her words, she saw Xia Zhi throwing the "fireball" in his hand towards the mountain in the distance without much hesitation...

The next moment, the darkness turned into bright day.

Chapter 449: Do ghosts have smell?

"boom--"

Before the white light faded, a roar like that of destroying the world sounded.

The air was shaking, the earth was roaring, and the dazzling scorching white light engulfed the world before our eyes, the trees, sand, rocks... everything seemed to disappear into nothingness in the infinitely expanding terrifying force.

A mushroom-shaped explosion cloud mixed with dust and sand rose up, and the strong shock wave tore through the mountain, overturned the earth, and swept away everything it touched around.

That is the ultimate power that humans can currently master, and it is the true form of reproducing the power of the stars on earth.

However, what was strange was that even though the terrifying power was erupting right in front of her eyes, the girl standing at the foot of the mountain did not feel any impact at all.

A shock wave powerful enough to tear the ground apart swept past, shattering rocks and blowing away trees with ease, but it failed to cause any harm to her, as if she was now in another world.

As the light gradually dissipated and the shaking earth gradually calmed down, in Cong Yu's sight, the original mountain had long disappeared, and all that was left was a deep red pit emitting a scorching temperature.

"Is it done now?" Xia Zhi turned around and asked the girl next to him.

Cong Yu: “…”

Even if you asked her this, she wouldn't know how to answer this question.

Theoretically, physical damage is ineffective against curses. Even if the form formed by the curse and filth is destroyed, it will regenerate after a period of time.

But...looking at the scene in front of her, she was a little unsure for a moment.

Not to mention her, even the caster himself probably never thought that the curse could be purified and removed in this way, right?

After all, can this really be called purification?

If the source of the curse cannot be found, then destroy it along with the land it is attached to...

"Master, your approach is really... simple and direct." After a long time, Cong Yu finally uttered these words.

"It's okay..." Xia Zhi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"I'm not praising you!" Cong Yu couldn't help but shouted.

How could this be possible... Although the curse may have been removed, what should be done with the pit in front of us? What should be done with the collapsed houses below? What will the residents think when they wake up tomorrow morning? Will they wake up inexplicably and find that their town has been hit by a nuclear fusion?

Although it was well-intentioned, but...

Cong Yu pursed her lips, looked at the young man and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "Master...々¨..."
