The portal opened, and Wan Qi disappeared. Ms. Mo Sang and Xing Di walked over, and the rock girl casually asked, "Where's Wan Qi?"
Wilding: "He has some business to attend to, he'll be back in a couple of days."
Xingzhuo: "Oh, he's always so mysterious. Could he be some kind of savior hiding among us, like a superhero who saves the world?"
Veltin glanced at Xingdi and complained, "You should probably read less superhero comics lately. Wan Qi said that reading too much of that stuff will make you brain-dead."
Star Bracelet: "You can't say that. I earned my money by submitting my critiques of those superhero comics."
Wilting: "Did you write both 'Superman Has Power but No Brains' and 'Superheroes Can't Save Humanity'? Your pen name is Pirate Rock."
Xingdi: "Just tell me if what I wrote is right or wrong."
Wilding: "That's true, the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) is quite interesting."
Xingdi proudly puffed out her chest and began to hum a song.
This is only a temporary separation.
In the depths of the universe, a special computer is running slowly but steadily. Its mission was written from the moment it was born. Even if someone makes changes to it along the way, it is just a different way to reach the predetermined destination.
But today, someone has brought an unexpected change to it.
Its reaction speed was fast, but compared to that deep red devouring motion, it still seemed too slow.
"The anomaly has been resolved. The system error has been identified. The system is restarting. This restart will not affect the overall operating environment. A new round of calculations is now underway."
really?
Who knows, haha.
Winter in the wilderness is cold, but the heart of the butterfly is even colder.
After seeing off her last friends, she embarked on her journey alone.
There is no end ahead, and everything behind has come to a standstill. In the face of death, everything else seems so insignificant, because this is absolute order, absolute fairness, absolute... beyond question.
Do my hands... really have warmth?
No one here can answer this question. All Xia Die can do is move forward, but she herself doesn't know if her steps are actually moving forward.
"Um? "
When Wan Qi opened his eyes, he found himself falling, which was different from the previous teleportation.
Why was shipping to my door free before, but this time the world has given me a windfall?
Oh, it's me, Xi. It's all right now... what a joke! You went straight to the respawn point after spawning, huh? Watch me fly!
However, due to the altitude issue, Wanqi's flight instantly turned into a low-altitude gliding, and then, by sheer coincidence, he crashed into someone.
In that instant, Wan Qi felt his blood run cold.
Oh no, oh no, with my gravitational acceleration, even if the person I hit were a physical education student, they'd be torn to pieces.
It's not impossible to put people back together, but abominations and chimeras shouldn't be considered resurrected, right? We should stop for a while, collect their souls, and then do a flesh-and-blood reconstruction, and that should be fine.
When the impact stopped, Wan Qi was surprised to find that the person he had hit was still intact.
Holy crap, are all sports students this amazing these days?
My weight is at least 150 pounds, and my speed just now was at least subsonic, yet I still managed to leave with a complete corpse... Wait, I'm still moving and breathing! ?
Wan Qi didn't care about anything else and quickly reached out to pull the other person out of the snowdrift.
She was a girl, and what's even more outrageous is that she was still conscious, just staring at him with disbelief.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it was a mistake, a tactical error. Are you alright? I'm a doctor, I can treat you now. Wait a minute, girl, are you okay? Your physical condition is truly amazing."
"Are you... alright?" Xia Die looked at her right hand, while the other person's left hand was holding her right hand.
It appears to be completely unaffected.
Wan Qi misunderstood the other woman's gaze, thinking she suspected him of taking advantage of him. He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "The situation was urgent just now. To pull you out of the snowdrift, some physical contact was necessary... Miss? Miss? What are you doing?"
To Wan Qi's bewildered gaze, Xia Die suddenly leaned closer, grabbed Wan Qi's shoulder, pinched his cheek, and then grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with shock and a hint of barely perceptible joy.
That look is familiar. It seems like Virtin had the same expression when they looked at each other in the "storm".
A dimensional phone suddenly appeared and landed in front of Xia Die.
"Very good, mission objective identified, it's this girl."
The mission is called: Save Her from the Lost. Could it be that this world also has disasters similar to "torrential rain"? And I happen to be immune, thus becoming the target of their attention.
Seriously, would you really encounter such a clichéd script twice in real life? The editors at Earth Zero must be out of work.
"Girl, girl, have some self-respect. I have no criminal record, and we are still strangers."
Wan Qi reached out and pushed the other person away with a moderate force to maintain distance.
You seem like a very nice girl, but I already have Xiaowei, so this hugging and cuddling isn't appropriate.
The girl had calmed down by then, and said with a happy smile, "Hello, my name is Xia Die. May I ask who you are?"
Wan Qi immediately noticed the problem.
The language the other person was speaking was neither English nor Chinese, nor even any language I knew, but I inexplicably understood it.
At the same time, a notification sounded in Wan Qi's mind: "Language and writing module download complete."
Wait a minute, what's with this system-like activity? Could it be that the dimensional phone has a second stage of awakening?
"Your Mightiness?"
Wan Qi's thoughts were interrupted by the girl's expectant voice. Judging from her expression, she was clearly determined to cling to him!
"Um, my name is Wan Qi. Hello, Miss Xia Die, what brings you here?"
“I…I want to be sure about one thing.”
"what's up?"
"May I hold your hand, sir?"
You're trying to take advantage of me!
Wan Qi instantly became alert, wondering if he had encountered some kind of perverted woman.
However, appearance is definitely a plus, and Xia Die has too many pluses. Moreover, after seeing that Wan Qi did not answer, the light in the girl's eyes began to fade little by little.
Why is the character 谟 suddenly losing its luster? I didn't do anything!
“Okay, no problem, please.” Wan Qi extended his right hand.
Xia Die also extended her right hand, then hesitated, then stepped forward a little, hesitated again, and then...
Wan Qi felt that if he continued to let the girl make her own decisions, the situation would remain the same for the next few hours, so he simply took the initiative and grasped Xia Die's right hand.
“Here, hold on tight,” Wan Qi said.
It's okay, just think of it as a childhood game. A salute, a handshake, and you're my good friend!
In that instant, Wan Qi felt the girl in front of him jump into her throat, but after confirming that she was really, really, really okay, she finally lost control and hugged Wan Qi with tears in her eyes.
"It hasn't disappeared, it hasn't disappeared, it hasn't disappeared!"
In this situation, Wan Qi couldn't push them away, nor could he dodge them in time. He could only raise his hands above his head and give a French military salute.
Are all girls in other worlds this enthusiastic?
If this were set in a novel with a "Girl Conquest System," "Shrimp Head System," or "Love Simulator" theme, the second chapter would probably fast-forward to Cao Cao, Cao Ren/Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, or Cao Shuang. This is because Xia Die is clearly someone you can win over as long as certain special conditions are met, and her heart is completely devoted to the protagonist. With just a little care, you can get whatever you want.
Why do I get this feeling that some blond guy is taking advantage of my vulnerability? I can't do something so shameless!
It's one thing to talk nonsense online about wanting to sleep with everyone in the world, but to actually do that in real life is truly despicable. I suggest the death penalty for close-in weapon systems.
However, since the task is so easy, we should strike while the iron is hot and quickly find out what happened. Let's start by investigating Xia Die's background and ask her what she used to do.
To Wan Qi's questions, Xia Die answered everything she knew, being extremely cooperative. Wan Qi almost felt guilty; he had prepared a whole bunch of lines to elicit information, but Xia Die's response was one of utter frankness, like "My door is always open, you're welcome to come and visit." All that was missing was a romantic conversation in bed.
Xia Die's life can be summarized as: a girl who is prone to causing death to anyone she touches, and who longs for friends and family.
This is indeed quite dangerous. If you're not careful, your companion will turn into fragments. This girl is pitiful; she can only be friends with Alicia.
If you handle fragmentation beforehand, you don't need to worry about it becoming fragmented (not really).
Okay, similar to Virtue, but a completely different type.
Virtue was willing to make friends, but the overall environment wasn't right.
Xia Die wants to make friends with others, but she herself is an untouchable.
The False Untouchables: India's Dalits.
The truly untouchable, whoever touches it dies.
This ability... how should I put it, is somewhat like a super-enhanced version of the Grim Reaper's Hand, and the effect works indiscriminately on all life forms. For example, just now, when Xia Die grabbed a handful of moss plants hidden under the snow, even such tenacious little creatures simply said, "I choose death."
This operation also proves that Xia Die's "Time Flies" ability has not disappeared, but it is ineffective against Wan Qi.
Wan Qi's first thought was of the Red Sea world where he had been marinated, a curse to him, but also a place of protection.
Since gaining the ability to travel to other worlds, the Red Sea world has already shielded me from two disasters, nullifying all special damage effects. If we disregard its long imprisonment of me before, this level of care is quite something to be grateful for.
"Your ability... let me see."
Coincidentally, Wan Qi is a necromancer, and he is very sensitive to death.
So that's the question: why is it that Xia Die has no awareness of this ability?
Not only did it have no effect on him, but he also couldn't sense any death aura from the other person at all.
Killers possess a chilling aura of murder. From a magical perspective, this means that there is a unique energy field entanglement between the killer and the victim, which accumulates as the number of kills increases. This power is essentially plundered from the victims by the killer and can be released when needed. After specialized training or accumulation, it can form an energy field that oppresses the minds of others.
Based on this theory, Wan Qi understood why emperors were so highly respected. They had truly emerged from a sea of blood and carnage; a single glance from them could terrify those without such experience. Faced with such an emperor, it was incredibly difficult to inspire any rebellion. Therefore, those who commanded the respect of others were the true rulers; all others were merely figureheads.
In this field involving death, regardless of whether the person being killed is willing or not, a similar energy field entanglement will occur. According to Xia Die, the number of people she has sent off along the way is at least a hundred or two hundred households, if not thousands. But why doesn't she have that kind of aura?
It can't be that the people here are like NPCs in a game, and killing them is just following code without any impact, right?
If that's really the case, it's possible. I've never seen anyone play Paradox Interactive games with such murderous intent. No matter how much fun you have killing in Space Marine 2, if you actually send someone to Warhammer, they'll just be a crying, pathetic little devil.
After testing Xia Die with his magical detection methods, Wan Li had even more questions.
The other party does possess powerful energy, but this energy has nothing to do with death, nor is it the elemental power I understand. It might be some kind of energy unique to another world, but that doesn't make sense.
Strange, so strange.
Even more strangely, at that very moment, the mission inexplicably... was completed.
Looking at the task completion notification, Wanqi Metro, the elderly, and the mobile phone.
Unexplained tasks, unexplained situations, unexplained people.
The mission was completed in less than an hour, and Wan Qi obtained the world anchor point. He felt that the mission was like walking a dog, and the mission reward made him even more suspicious of this possibility.
Increase your stay time by exchanging Soul Shards.
Damn! It turns out the answer was right in my own hands.
Wan Qi finally understood what it meant to "know something but it's just a thin layer of paper, while ignorance is like a perpetual dream."
We can go back now, but...
Wan Qi looked at Xia Die. He couldn't really treat this girl as a tool to complete his mission. Besides, there was no village or shop in sight. Even if Xia Die was strong, leaving her here wouldn't be a good idea. So, how about this?
"Xia Die, do you have anywhere to go?"
"Ah! Me?" Xia Die shook her head.
"In that case, would you like to come over for a visit?"
"Wanqi's hometown... Great!"
Xia Die nodded. Since she had nowhere else to go anyway, she might as well go with the other person.
Moreover, Xia Die harbored a small expectation: since Wan Qi wasn't afraid of her death power, wouldn't the people of Wan Qi's hometown also be unafraid? Would that mean she could say goodbye to this curse forever?
The portal opened, and Xia Die followed Wan Qi away from this cold wilderness.
The instant she and Wan Qi disappeared, deep within this world, a certain operating program froze.
"Error... Error... Unable to scan for data... Re-read... Data error... Unable to repair... Restart... Restart failed... Scan again... Error... Error..."
It's lost, a crucial node is lost. If it were just a normal disappearance, it wouldn't be a big deal; we could simply replace the data packet and recreate it. But this time, the loss involved a piece of the program's underlying code, causing the entire program to fail even with bugs. All related code was corrupted and turned into gibberish.
When any system encounters this situation, there is basically only one way out: reinstalling. However, this system is very special, and a regular reinstall is tantamount to suicide.
