Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

The black tower was just a simple accident, and the robin, who hadn't even received a response, actually appeared in Qi Zhimu's subconscious reflection.

"Unforgettable...it's probably just a difference in perspective."

Recalling the experiences he had with the robin, Qi Zhimu spoke frankly.

"Perhaps it was unforgettable for her, but for me, it was just about being responsible for my job."

"Could you elaborate?" Black Tower wasn't in a hurry to move on to the other stone platforms.

Natural energy.

The previous summary was given to Black Swan, so Qi Zhimu will just briefly reiterate it to Black Tower.

"That's how it went. Later, by chance, her brother hired me to protect her, and it turned out to be the right decision."

"Kasperingat-VIII, a war-torn planet, the robin, to spread harmony, quell the war, and save lives, personally went to the front lines of that world."

"She used her songs to soothe the pain, and her own body to provide support for the delivery of supplies... But how could she do so much all by herself?"

"I admit that witnessing her kindness from the inside out, and her consistency between words and actions in adhering to the concept of harmony, moved me to pity."

"So you also helped escort the supplies?" Black Tower had pretty much guessed what would happen next.

"almost."

Qi Zhimu nodded and slowly said:

"She begged me to help find the missing rescue team, which I initially strongly opposed, as it's a big no-no for bodyguards to stay away from their employers."

"In the end, I couldn't persuade her otherwise, and my heart softened. I thought that if I walked faster, maybe everything would be alright."

"But I didn't expect that the missing relief supply team was so large, protecting so many people, that I couldn't move quickly enough."

Qi Zhimu still feels lingering fear when talking about the emergency situation at the time.

"That's why my mercenary career almost suffered an irreparable stain of shame."

"The enemy's ground troops engaged in close combat, destroying all human ethics and morality. Not only did they use many terrifying weapons, but the flames of war also gradually spread to the temporary camp where the robin was located."

"When I returned from my mission, several bursts of stray bullets and fragmentation anti-life missiles nearly took the robin's life—"

"I had to use my fastest speed to save her, and at the cost of taking the injuries for her."

"How serious is it?" Upon hearing this, Black Tower thought to himself, "As expected."

It's still the most clichéd rescue plot, but it's also the easiest to touch people's hearts.

After all… I'm pretty much the same.

Qi Zhimu replied, "I was shot seven or eight times in the arm. That's alright. Ordinary bullets don't cause much damage. For a long-lived species, it's at most a superficial wound."

"The problem was the fragmentation anti-life missile. The fragments pierced most of my body, leaving me severely injured. Blood splattered all over me. She was terrified, which is why she hurriedly asked that question."

"Anti-life missile... Could it be carrying a virus that can damage physical tissue?" Black Tower was slightly surprised.

"Yes, even a hundred short-lived species wouldn't be enough to kill me. My left leg was blown to pieces, and my combat ability was severely damaged."

Nodding his chin, Qi Zhimu sighed.

"It was probably around that time that she truly developed feelings for me."

Hei Ta subconsciously tugged at Qi Zhimu's collar, only to realize a second later that he was currently in his teenage form and had not yet experienced this.

He then came to his senses and realized that he still possessed abundant blessings in this life, belonging to the long-lived species with an average lifespan of around 500 years.

The advantage of not being strong is that it is not troubled by demonic possession like the Immortal Ship.

Its healing ability should be stronger than that of the fox people but weaker than that of the immortal boat people, and it will not leave scars after the injury is healed.

Yes, indeed.

I've fought Qi Zhimu so many times I can't even remember them all, and I've never seen any of the obvious marks that ordinary mercenaries would have on him.

Many mercenaries even regard scars as proof of honor and professional competence, and deliberately keep them.

"What happened next?" Black Tower asked again.

Qi Zhimu: "The war eventually became so intense that atomic weapons were used. The spaceships were destroyed, and even the company's signal base station left in Kaspelin-VIII was not spared."

"During the period when she was out of contact, I could only drag my badly injured body to protect her from the war."

"After the commissioned mission of Kasperinyat-VIII was completed, her brother hired me for a few more months to escort her to many different worlds, practicing the idea of ​​helping the weak with the strong."

"At the end of our last mission, just before we parted, she confessed her love to me under the bright moonlight, but I didn't respond."

"I see."

Black Tower suddenly realized and didn't ask again if Robin would respond if he confessed his feelings again now.

Is there even a need to ask?

The answer was revealed the moment he decided to go to Pinocchio.

People who don't care won't care about the other person's opinion.

Using "it's stupid not to make money" as an excuse won't work. Qi Zhimu has made a lot of money, and on the contrary, he has dealt with many people who caused him trouble because of it.

It's clear that the little bird held a significant place in Qi Zhimu's heart.

Ah, I almost forgot about the important matter!

Hei Ta lightly patted his forehead, this time without breaking the bronze mirror. He then hugged Qi Zhimu and headed to the next stone platform to interact with the new bronze mirror.

Neither of them expected that, starting with this bronze mirror, the sounds they heard would all be strange.

Black Swan: "Mr. Qi... I've already made the other women disappear, hehe, hehehe... ahahahaha—"

"From now on, we can be together forever and ever and ever... forever and ever..."

"Come, let us become one. I will bear you a hundred children to prove that no one in the entire universe loves you more than I do..."

Even Qi Zhimu and Heita couldn't help but feel speechless upon hearing this.

"That's incredible. Even if it's a crossover from Jingliu, the flavor isn't nearly as strong," Black Tower grumbled.

Crush it, then move on to the next side.

This time it's still Jingliu's voice, but the content he says is simply not up to par.

The level of directness was so blunt that even Black Tower found it a bit hard to bear.

Just a few days ago, before playing the Imperial Jade Card, Jing Liu's expression changed when she heard her discussing the concept of reproduction with Qi Zhimu. It's impossible for her to be so furious; at most, she would just say "I'm dizzy."

A primary school supermarket?

Even she hadn't told Qi Zhimu these things, so it was a bit too much to ask Jingliu to do them.

Who will be next?

The answer is Toppa.

"Brother...where are you? Don't leave Yelena, please...Yelena is so scared, so scared I'm about to die...Waaah..."

Hearing this, Black Tower breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it's not quite right, at least it's still within the normal range.

Did Yelena ever say that to you?

"no."

Qi Zhimu denied it, and said softly:

"Although Yelena suffered misfortune in her childhood, and her personality is like mine—disliking beating around the bush—she would never tell me that she was so afraid she was about to die."

The Black Tower immediately shattered the bronze mirror and moved on to the next location.

In the time that followed, not a single bronze mirror remained intact.

After destroying more than thirty bronze mirrors on the nearby stone platform, the Black Tower returned to the original stone platform.

The answer is obvious.

Only the sound of the robin represents real events from the past.

Without hesitation, Hei Ta led Qi Zhimu into the next space.

The number of stone platforms and bronze mirrors has decreased significantly.

This time, however, the voices were related to her: her parents, a very small number of friends, and of course, Qi Zhimu's voice...

Black Tower laughed.

It couldn't be simpler.

But to their utter surprise, after passing through the second correct mirror and arriving at the third space, they encountered someone who astonished them.
