infinite creative mode

Steve was silent for a while before he realized that he was doing something stupid, so he explained to Lily awkwardly: "...I...I'm just trying to communicate with this kid."

"What child? Is there no one around you?"

"Uh..." Steve blinked, and he looked down at the girl in front of him who was only not much higher than his waist, "Well, there is a little girl in front of me, the one with the hat, can't you see it?"

"No? There is no one in front of you!"

When Lily said that, Steve immediately felt a little weird.He put down his hands and feet, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and poked the girl's face.The girl still maintains this strange posture: "Well, who are you?"

The girl blinked, her clever eyes didn't look like an illusion no matter what.As if responding to Steve's question, she suddenly put her feet down and stood at attention, then raised her hands high in a pose as if saying "Praise the Sun".

Steve is in a dilemma. He doesn't know how to communicate with this girl, or is it that the monsters in the underground are all a little out of their minds?Lily said she couldn't see her, but Steve felt that she must exist, probably with some special ability...

"Okay, Lianlian, don't make trouble, obviously those strange postures you learned from the ground are not popular."

A light and slightly indifferent voice came from the darkness on the dome of the hall, and it was only at this time that Steve noticed that the hall had a second floor.It's just that the checkered pattern perfectly blends the two together, forming a visual error. In addition, the hall is relatively dark, so it's easy to overlook the multi-layered structure if you don't pay attention.

"elder sister!"

The girl immediately put down her hand, and ran away in a flash. Even Steve didn't see where she ran away, only felt that she disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.Considering that the other party is a monster and not an ordinary human being, Steve feels that there is nothing to worry about.

There were footsteps in the darkness, this time from the stairs at the front of the hall.Hearing the footsteps and the rhythm of going downstairs, Steve imagined what kind of protruding woman would appear in front of him again, but it was obvious that he was disappointed this time.

The one who came down the stairs was not a woman, but a girl not much older than the girl named Lianlian just now, also a loli.If it weren't for their different clothes and hair colors, it would make people think that they should be twins.

"What are you doing here?" The girl looked quite normal.

... people?Steve turned his head, knowing that Lily was invisible at this time.

The girl seemed to understand Steve's thoughts, and replied directly: "We are a monster named 'Jue', and I can see her even in the spirit state."

"...Oh." No wonder...

After the doubts in his heart were explained, Steve asked straightforwardly: "I'm here to find a huge underground energy source, do you know what it is?"

"Great energy?" The girl tilted her head and blinked, "Hakurei Reimu didn't tell you what exactly you are looking for!"

"Uh...you know?" Steve was surprised.

However, the other party did not answer the question directly, but walked down the stairs slowly: "Didn't you come here following the guidance of the witch?"

"Uh... yeah, yeah, you know what we're looking for?"

"I'm the master of the Earth Spirit Hall, Gu Ming, so of course I know what you're looking for." Although she looks like a loli, she has an indescribable calmness, even lifelessness.Probably because she hasn't seen outsiders for too long, her expression is very dull, even expressionless.Glancing at Steve with not lifeless eyes, Gu Mingjue asked: "But what is your own purpose? You and Lingmeng are not in the same group! Are you here just to collect energy?"

...basically yes.

Steve thought so, but after thinking about it, he was slightly stunned: How does this loli know so much?

"Master, the monster named 'Jue' has the ability to see through people's hearts, she is peeping into your thoughts!" The voice of the little witch appeared at the right time, and her explanation proved Steve's feelings.

Perhaps the other party could even hear the communication between master and servant, the girl with short pink hair narrowed her eyes slightly: "Yeah, you are right, I just read your thoughts. Hearts are different from words. Likewise, words may speak, but your heart, whatever I ask it, it will answer."

"Oh, that's good, that's easy." Steve nodded approvingly.

But obviously, the other party was taken aback by Steve's reaction.The red eyeball on her chest that looked like an ornament moved, and soon she put on a stunned expression: "...Are you stupid?"

"Hey, do you want to fight?"

Suddenly being scolded for no reason, even Steve would feel offended.

But the other party still had that surprised and inexplicable expression, "Are you stupid? You don't care about being read by me?"

"There is nothing to care about, and there is no secret." Steve shrugged, full of indifference.

"No, it's not a question of whether there is a secret..." The girl shook her head, as if explaining clearly to the other party the danger of being "mind-read".But before she could say anything, she realized the problem. The person in front of her didn't have the kind of thing that 'although everyone knows it, but I just don't want others to know it'.Such a person is either a fool who doesn't know good or bad; or he is an enlightened person in the Buddhist family who calmly faces everything in his life... Yes, so to speak, this guy is very calm...

"...It's like a rascal without clothes." Gu Ming muttered in disbelief.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Speak up, I didn't hear you." Steve felt that the girl was murmuring and couldn't hear clearly, and walked towards Gu Mingjiue.

"Hey, hey, I didn't say anything, big man, don't come here! Don't come here!"

For the thin and small Jue, Steve, who is close to two meters tall, is indeed a big man, and he can even lift her up with one hand, so when Steve lifted her up with the back collar in one hand, Gu Ming felt She didn't struggle either, because she knew very well that this big man was not malicious, but simply had a strange curiosity about herself.

Jue's dead fish eyes stared at the square man's square eyes at a very close distance. Steve confirmed that her appearance was indeed just a little girl, and after judging from his experience that the girl could not be the owner of this big house, he will The loli in her hand shook: "Okay, stop making trouble, tell your adults to come out, don't care what your parents will read, I just want to know if this place can be excavated, I need the following things."

Yes.Steve doesn't understand the non-existent things that Lingmeng said, he only knows that if the [Wand of Discovery] is inserted down, the value will be very high, so you won't come back empty-handed when you come to Baoshan!

·

Gu Ming felt silent.

Of course she knew what the huge energy source Steve was talking about. Below the Temple of the Earth Spirit was the former scorching hell, where a large number of resentful spirits lived.Whether it's scorching hell or wraiths, they are actually energy. This guy obviously came here aiming at this point. Although I don't know why the witches brought them here, this place is basically managed by the Gu Ming family. Yes, it's impossible for others to make trouble casually, so she didn't intend to tell Steve the truth.

But before this guy defeated the ghost king with his strength in the abandoned capital, Gu Mingdijue already knew. If it was really an outsider of this level, even if he handed over Ah Kong, he might not be able to deal with it!Thinking of this, Gu Ming felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Oh I see."

"...What do you understand?" Steve felt that he was not used to chatting with this kind of person, because the other party was always trying to trick you.

The girl being carried didn't seem to care about her state at the moment, she looked up at Steve: "I should be the one who the witch told you to find!"

"What are you looking for?"

"I have clues about Yakumo Zi, you came here for this, right! People outside."

After knowing that the other party has the ability to read minds, Steve is not surprised by what she says, but just mentioning the name Yakumo Zi, Steve feels that the other party may be deliberately setting a trap... Soon realized that The girl can read minds, so he directly expressed his doubts: "You said that on purpose! Isn't Yakumo Zi everywhere?"

"It's true that there are not many people who can find her, but I'm one of them." Gu Mingjue still had that expressionless face, "At this moment, there must be a change happening above the ground!"

"You know everything, what else do you ask?"

Gu Ming Jijue nodded: "Yakumo Zi came here before causing the change. She asked me to provide her with a large number of resentful spirits, and then promised to give us a paradise on the ground as a reward."

When Gu Mingjue said this, Steve blinked as if he understood what she wanted to say: "Are you her accomplice too?"

"No, because I refused," Gu Mingjue said lightly, "but to show my sincerity, I did give her part of the wraith as energy to fill the vacancy in her demon power, but it was just a one-shot deal. I let her After helping me maintain the family's enchantment, forget it, and there is no further transaction, so telling you the news now is not a betrayal of her."

"Oh..." The girl's way of speaking was unexpectedly decisive, and Steve began to believe that this was her place, "Then where is she now?"

"You promised to leave here as soon as you found out, and I'll tell you, don't try to fool me, you know you can't lie to me."

Steve probably already understood what the other party meant and why he had this attitude.The other party obviously wanted to drive him away, but he didn't want to be violent, so he came up with this method!So he nodded resolutely: "Okay, then I'll dig out the thing below first, and then I'll ask you."

Chapter 402

"Bastard! Stop it!" Of course, Gu Mingjue knew that this guy was not joking, and the emotional fluctuations in his mind just now were obviously very serious, "I will send you to Yakumo Zi's place, her place It’s between realms, you can go anywhere by then!”

Hearing what Jue said, Steve stopped moving.He stopped because he was attracted by Jue's words: "...you can go anywhere?"

"Yes, Yakumo Zi is a realm demon. Her ability is to move at various levels, and her lair is located in the middle of the realm. It is a place where you can go wherever you want," said Gu Ming. Jue paused, "You have wanted to go back for a long time!"

When Gu Mingjue said these words, Steve was taken aback for a moment, and Lily, who had been keeping her spirit body by her side, was also taken aback for a moment.

It should be said that it is indeed a monster with insight into people's hearts. Although this ability is annoying most of the time, it is like a detector on a mind dam, and a tiny crack can be detected in advance.

After hesitating for two seconds, Steve grinned embarrassedly: "Yeah, I haven't gone back for a long time, and I want to go back. I usually go out to open up wasteland, and I will go home once a week at most, and I haven't gone back for a long time now." , I really have some thoughts."

"Although I don't know if I can help you return to your previous place, but if you promise me to leave honestly, I can help you to the Lost House between realms. That's where Yakumo Zi is. , so that you can end that so-called mission soon!" Gu Mingdijue said.

"You even know this?" He didn't care about being known by the other party, he was just very curious, "I thought you could only know what I was thinking now."

"Thinking is like a net, as long as one point is involved, a lot of things can be pulled out." Gu Ming still looks like a little adult, "But I'm not interested in your affairs, including whether you are Who, what are you here for. You should understand that I just don't want you to disturb our peaceful life, which is the same reason I rejected Yakumo Zi."

Gu Mingdijue's attitude and principles are already obvious, she just wants to protect this place.

Steve felt that since the other party had already talked to this level, it was not easy for him to snatch the other party's things.And if you can go back earlier, you can definitely earn points.

"Okay, I promise you," Steve put away his pickaxe, "Then how are you going to take me there? Isn't that place where no one can find it?"

"I have a way, come with me."

I don't know if he is really afraid that Steve will go back and dig down as soon as he turns his face. Gu Ming felt that the road she led was always upward.

As he walked, Steve looked around curiously, but he couldn't see clearly because it was too dark here.In the darkness, only the dark walls and the gold-rimmed picture frames with unknown paintings hanging on them could be seen, and this place was completely different from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, not even a single maid could be seen.

Could it be that Gu Ming felt that he was actually very poor?Can't even light a torch?

Thinking of this, Steve took out a torch and stuck it on the railing.

The sudden bright light made Jue Ting stop, and she turned her head: "What are you doing?"

"I just think it's too dark here, so I'll put some torches for you, why don't you like it?" Steve was a little uncertain about these monsters who lived underground.

Jue glanced at the torch, but didn't say why, but just replied indifferently: "Sure enough, do you all like bright places?"

"Of course, if it's too dark, there will be monsters."

"...as you like."

Since the master said it was casual, Steve felt confident and boldly started to place torches everywhere.According to Steve's habit, all the dark places should naturally be brightly lit. Torches, a few things, are not worth much, so it is considered as lighting for their house for free.

Jue didn't expect that this guy really planned to light up the whole house. When she felt that the light behind her was a bit too bright, she turned around and saw only a bright home that she had never seen before.

"...Hello." Gu Ming subconsciously wanted to call Steve.

But Steve didn't hear her voice, and he was still throwing torches everywhere happily, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder to light up all the places.

"Sister, look, this is so fun!"

Hearing this sentence, Steve, who was still throwing the torch, subconsciously turned around, only to find that the girl in the strange pose from before had appeared again.I stuck a row of torches on my head, and held one in one hand to show my sister: "Hey! Don't mess with my torches!"

After being yelled at by Steve, she immediately ran away again.

"That child is a bit shy, please don't worry about it." Looking at his sister's back, Jue sighed softly: "It's almost enough, come with me!"

·

The long staircase was lit up by torches, and the empty Earth Spirit Hall also had the breath of the living.Go all the way up the corridor of the spiral staircase, push open the door, and you will arrive at a place that seems to be a rooftop.Here you can see the will-o'-the-wisps of the abandoned capital from a distance, and occasionally you can hear noisy sounds. Except for the bats flying by from time to time, this place is generally considered a quiet place.

Following Gu Mingjiu all the way to the center of the roof, Steve saw something stuck in the center of the roof, and when he got closer, he realized that it was an umbrella.

Gu Mingjiu walked up to the umbrella and stopped: "You were right before, Yakumozi's location is indeed a place that no one can find, but before Yakumozi wanted me to change my mind, so I left it for me. Got a thing, and she said that pulling up that umbrella will send people to where she is, and I think that's what you need."

"Oh, oh, so that's the case," Steve nodded repeatedly, but he had his own thoughts in his heart.

After all, I just met this girl, and since there is no way to distinguish the other party's position, there is still a certain chance that this umbrella is a trap, so it is better to ask the cause and effect first: "Speaking of which, what did she ask for from you? Will she give it to you? Such a great convenience?"

"Didn't I say it? Wraith. If you want to use this to test whether I'm telling the truth, it's meaningless. I really want to lie to you. I have a hundred ways better than this." I don't know what came to mind , Jue shook his head slightly, "The Wraith is a conscious energy body. Regardless of its side effects, it is actually a good energy supplement. After the Burning Hell was moved away, there are still a large number of Wraiths living under the Earth Spirit Hall. For a big monster like Yakumo Zi, it is not difficult to absorb these grievances, so she came to me, so do you understand?"

"Oh, so." To be honest, Steve still doesn't quite understand the causal relationship, but he just doesn't know why Lily can't hide, so he can only ask her first and then discuss it with her later.

Just when Steve was thinking this way, he noticed that Jue seemed to look behind him: "Your familiar is also a kind of spirit! Although it is more stable, but being able to transform into a spirit body means that she is not real." It's normal for a life that really exists to dare not come out when you see me. But if you really have feelings for her, I advise you to pay attention to her past."

After leaving the meaningless words, Gu Mingdijue turned around and walked away.

To be reasonable, a person who provokes other people's master-servant relationship before leaving is very worthy of beating, but when she is a monster who can read minds, people have to pay attention to this point.Gu Mingjue had already left, but Lily was still unwilling to show up.

Steve waited a little impatiently: "She's gone, come out!"

"..." The little witch still didn't show up.

"Why? Isn't it just a little girl, what! As for scaring you like that?" Steve shook his head lightly.

"Who was scared!" Lily suddenly appeared in front of Steve, and she knocked on the staff directly, but she took it back before hitting Steve's head, "...well, I really It’s because I don’t like that thing, very...very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very disliked.”

It seems a bit excessive for Lily to refer to each other as "something", but Steve is unwilling to speculate on the reason at this time: "Actually, it's nothing!"

"Of course there is something! And there is very much!" Lily was very excited, even a little confused, "What does she know? How does she understand what kind of existence Heroic Spirit is? When she said those words, who did she think about? ?!"

"Ah, okay, okay, don't get excited, don't get excited... So what's going on, I don't really understand what's going on."

Seeing Steve's dull face, Lily froze for a while, then punched Steve's chest, lay on his chest and burst into tears.At any time, a woman's tears are the most effective weapon against a man. Steve froze there helplessly, and could only pat her on the back lightly, hoping to comfort her in this way.

After a while, the crying stopped.

Steve sat cross-legged with Lily in his arms.

Lily's full name is Medea Lily. Although Steve basically doesn't call her by that name anymore, and she won't put the word "Medea" on her self-introduction, she has been promoted to "Medea" of the heroic spirit Medea. "Legend of Heroes" has always been an indelible scar in her heart.

Steve remembered that Lily once said to himself that she was a "betrayed witch", but it was clear that these four words alone were not enough to represent the whole of that period of past.It was probably the story of an ignorant young girl infatuated with a scumbag. Steve didn’t remember it very clearly. It's like washing the dirt off your body.

"...For a heroic spirit, the past is the proof of his achievements and the scars of his life. This kind of person is too much...too much..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I don't want the thing below, we won't come here in the future."

"Um……"

·

Finally reassuring Lily, Steve began to study the parasol stuck in the cracks of the roof bricks.

According to the degree of [Staff of Discovery], this is just an umbrella with a slightly higher degree, and its value is just over ten thousand.Of course, this does not rule out diamonds inlaid inside, but the detection methods of Steve, a layman, are still limited.After the purple light on Lily's palm flashed a few times, she said in a voice that hadn't recovered from her crying, "This is a teleportation circle, and it should be going west, but I can't find out the exact location." .”

"West is it..." Steve looked thoughtful, "That is to say, we have no way of judging whether this is a trap, so Lily, do you think you can trust her?"
