Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

The voice sounded hoarse and old, but it made people feel a chill down their spine.

Ye Qing simply threw Liu Sheng aside, justice already in his hands, and slowly walked towards the direction where the voice came from.

The owner of the voice also revealed his true face. He was a skinny and withered old man, who walked out slowly with a cane.

He looked like a homeless man who had not been groomed for many years, with dark red spots on his disheveled hair and tattered clothes.

"Another guy who doesn't know how to live or die has come, hehehe..."

The old man stopped in front of Ye Qing with a strange smile. The moment he opened his eyes, Ye Qing couldn't help but gasp.

The old man in front of him had no white in his eyes, and his eyeballs were pitch black like a ghost in a horror movie.

But since he didn't launch an attack, Ye Qing didn't rush to take action.

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey..."

The old man laughed strangely again, and he raised his trembling hand and pointed to the street in the distance.

"That is a hell of Asuras. Many innocent people have gone in there before you, and none of them have returned yet."

Chapter 88 The Chains of Time

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Humph! Literally!"

The old man snorted coldly, then glanced at Liu Sheng who was standing next to Ye Qing. Those dark eyes made Liu Sheng a little scared, and he unconsciously took a few steps back for a moment.

However, after noticing the sword in Ye Qing's hand, the old man's eyes turned unconsciously.

It’s a pity that these completely black eyes could not show any emotions at all, and Ye Qing did not notice this extremely subtle "abnormality".

"Hey, explain yourself..."

Yagyu wanted to ask a few more questions, but the old man had no intention of paying any attention to him, as if he was ignoring him.

But Ye Qing, who was standing next to him, stopped Liu Sheng. In such a complicated situation, it was not clear whether the old man in front of him was a monster or not.

He knocked the ground with the cane in his hand, then found a clean place to sit down with a weird smile on his face.

"It's normal for you outsiders not to know this. This is an old account of this city and it should have been settled long ago."

Old account?

Ye Qing frowned slightly. The mission she remembered was indeed an "old account", but she was not sure whether it was the same as what the old man said.

"Old sir, could you please give me some advice?"

She put away her sense of justice and simply bowed to the old man in front of her. This old man who suddenly appeared in front of her did not look like a simple person at all.

This kind of complicated plot still needs to be understood, and it is definitely a good thing to have an "insider" at this time.

Seeing Ye Qing's "respectful" salute, the old man immediately grinned, but his smile really reminded people of a scene from a horror movie.

The old man also returned the greeting with his hands clasped together, but Ye Qing always felt that his posture looked weird. Coupled with his hunched body, he looked like some kind of animal, and a not very nice one at that.

"This matter is not that complicated. The key lies in how you enter the game."

Unconsciously, the old man had used his cane to draw criss-crossing lines on the ground, like the corner of a chessboard.

He first used the crutch in his hand to make a deep hole at one of the points, and then slowly spoke.

"What do you think is the anomaly here?"

The old man asked Ye Qing back, looking at the two of them with a playful look.

Answering questions with questions was somewhat plausible to Ye Qing, but she was already used to the riddle-solving habits in the game Divine Realm Fantasy, so she spoke according to her approximate memory.

"Is there something trying to take revenge on this city? And it has some deep resentment, and is being used by someone with evil magic."

Hearing Ye Qing say this, Liu Sheng, who was standing next to her, looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't know why Ye Qing could make such an inference.

However, he probably forgot that after the video was posted on the forum, it had already been seen by most people.

The old man laughed, nodded, then shook his head, and then tapped the "chessboard" with the cane in his hand again.

"You only know one thing, but not the other!"

On the other side, Zhao Manying was hiding in the cellar, panting, holding a torn diary in her hand.

Listening to the dense footsteps above his head, Zhao Manying felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Ever since she snatched this diary from a certain general-like undead, she lost most of its attributes in an instant.

Equipment prices have been reduced, abilities have been sealed, and only by opening this diary can you restore your strength.

But this diary is a key item for the mission. Once it is read, the mission will start immediately. I haven't met Ye Qing yet, so how can I start the mission in advance...

As the roar got closer, Zhao Manying could no longer care about so much. She had to regain the ability to protect herself first.

She gritted her teeth and suddenly opened the diary in her hand.

Memories emerged before her eyes like flowing water, that was the camp of a handsome man and a young girl.

..................

"You must be kidding! Am I that kind of person?"

The girl grumbled and turned her head away angrily.

The two seemed to be "arguing" about something. Although the girl looked a little angry, she was actually laughing.

"It's not the best. I'll be gone for a long time, and my sister needs someone to take care of her."

The young man sighed, worrying about his only family.

"Don't worry, Xiaoli, I will take good care of you. If you don't believe me, just listen to my heart..."

The Queen suddenly stepped forward, and her slender white hands grasped the young man's left hand and placed it on her chest.

"......How about it?"

As the words fell, the air around them seemed to freeze.

The young man didn't know how to respond for a moment, and didn't even dare to look into the girl's eyes.

Although he knew her feelings for him, the young man could hear a hint of resentment in her voice.

Only the little one seemed to be squirming without knowing what was good for him, constantly poking his head out from behind the young man, curiously looking at this sister with bright eyes and white teeth.

"Cough, cough!"

Just when the young man thought that the silence would continue, a dull cough suddenly broke the wonderful atmosphere.

He immediately withdrew his hand, but the girl crossed her hands on her chest, as if she was recalling the feeling just now.

The door beside him opened, and the middle-aged man looked at the young man with a smile.

"Father-in-law..."

The young man smiled awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment.

At some point, the girl's father opened the door, looked at the girl with a strange look, and then looked at the young man.

"Father-in-law, I don't know..."

"Put your sister down first... and then get in here, kid!"

He suppressed his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring the little carp behind the young man. He also deliberately pretended to be a kind old father, making the little guy giggle.

Such a contrast made the young man feel somewhat helpless, and he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Just as I was about to explain, a pair of hands took my sister from behind me.

The young man wanted to push the hands away subconsciously, but the familiar feeling made him give up the plan immediately.

"Okay, I'll take care of the child, Chu Xing you go in first."

A soft voice came from behind her, it was the girl's sister.

The little girl had naturally crawled into the arms of the young lady, and she did not forget to glance at the young man. Then the young lady sat directly on the chair next to her.

So, under the middle-aged man's almost murderous gaze, the young man and the girl walked into his room together.

"Ying Chu, I heard that you were the pioneer of the original Black Cloud Group. I wonder how much of your past strength you still have?"

Before I had time to warm up my chair, the middle-aged man got straight to the point.

He stood in front of the fireplace in the room, looking at the broken blade hanging above, and asked the young man in a calm voice.

"If you don't fight hard, eight out of ten, if you fight hard..."

The young man took a deep breath and answered the middle-aged man in the same serious manner.

"No alien race can defeat him, which is why I recommend him to you."

But before I could finish my words, the girl took over, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in her tone, as if she was blaming her father for being unkind.

This statement...is somewhat exaggerated.

The young man smiled sheepishly, proving this point.

The middle-aged man turned around, walked back to the table, and took out the box of low-quality tobacco from the drawer. It was the kind of tobacco that could be found everywhere on the streets of the Hiero Empire.

The young man could smell that it was old stuff that had been supplied a long time ago. It would probably be difficult to find such bad tobacco even if he wanted to smoke it now.

But the middle-aged man picked up the tobacco and rolled it on the table like Westerners.

"What I want to hear is your answer, Captain Ying Chu!"

Your own answer?

The young man stood up and saluted the middle-aged man.

"At least 90%. If I need to sacrifice myself, please take good care of my sister for me..."

"Alright, alright, it makes me feel like I'm really going to let you die."

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently, then picked up the cigarette he had just rolled and sniffed it, but did not light it.

He crossed his hands and pressed them on the table, his body leaning forward unconsciously.

"But I need you to lead a team to kill a thousand people. Is that a problem?"

If it were wartime, I probably wouldn't have had any doubts.

"...One thousand what people?"

Three days later, the night city of the Hero Empire in the Western Continent

The young man was currently sitting on a tree, quietly watching the situation in the city with a telescope in his hand.

The whistle sounded behind him made the young man stop immediately, and the first to move was the sentry below.

The young man holding the alchemical weapon quickly shouted slogans and then let the man go.

"Captain, we have figured out all the paths leading into the city, and we have also found the professor named Roland."

Professor Roland?

Zhao Manying was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

Chapter 89 Outsider

Until this moment, the communication suddenly resumed.

Noticing that the lower right corner of her virtual interface was lit up, Zhao Manying almost instantly connected to the chat channel with Ye Qing.

"Ye Zi, can you hear me?!"

Ye Qing was also testing each other with the old man, and after hearing Zhao Manying's voice, he decisively switched the voice channel.

"Yes! Manying, where are you now? Is it dusk or night?"

After hearing these words, Zhao Manying, who was hiding in the cellar, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

I haven't figured out what's going on yet, but Ye Qing has even gotten some extra information. This can't just be a matter of luck...

"Huang Hun, I'm temporarily hiding in a cellar near the port, in the cellar of a herbal medicine store. Listen carefully, I don't know how long it will take for the call time to be restored..."

Zhao Manying quickly relayed the contents of the diary to Ye Qing, and at the same time gave a general description of her own situation.
