The two of them just hugged for a while under the low starry sky, Su Bai pursed his lips lightly, pushed Ji Ji Xia Qing's shoulder, motioning her to let go.
His Majesty Qingdi looked down at her, and he didn't let go of his hands as if angry, and his arms were even tighter.
"Ah Qing, don't be willful," Su Bai sighed lightly, as if coaxing a child, he patted Ji Xia Qing on the back, "We still have to discuss how to announce this news to the Tower of Babel."
Ji Xiaqing snorted, buried his head in Su Bai's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't say what the news was."
The corner of Su Bai's lips twitched upwards, poked Ji Xia Qing's face, and said amusedly, "Ah Qing, be more mature."
Ji Xiaqing raised his head slowly, looking at Xiaolong's side face with strange eyes.
How many years, how many years no one said to her: "be more mature".
She is a majestic Qing Emperor!
A little sourness in her heart and pity for Xiaobai were diluted by this strange feeling, she loosened her hand around Su Bai's waist, took a step back, and stared at Su Bai's increasingly mature and steady side face.
The sophisticated temperament that does not match the age is blended with the youthful face, and the youthful flesh/body shell is covered with a neat formal coat, in order to conceal the youth of the owner of the Tower of Babel At an excessive age, she still wears a pair of plain glasses on the bridge of her nose, with stars reflected on the mirrors.The glasses are gold-rimmed and look even more...attractive.
Ji Xiaqing exhaled lightly, and finally realized clearly that in front of her was not the immature little dragon who had just grown up in her memory, but the master of a tower, the controller of the greatest power in the Ether Continent.
"Let's take one step at a time." Ji Xiaqing moved a few steps, stood next to Su Bai, retracted his chaotic thoughts, and gradually calmed down, "What I said is just my guess based on the existing clues, or Say, we can only see one result now, and we need more clues about the process."
"So it's useless to discuss how to announce the news now. Maybe the truth will be good news?" Su Bai's lips curled up slightly, and he forced a smile. He unbuttoned his jacket, put it on Ji Xiaqing, and said warmly, "Is it cold?"
Ji Xiaqing blinked blankly.
Suddenly become the one who needs to be taken care of?
"Xiaobai, you should know that I am a mechanical body now." She squeezed the space between her brows with a headache, "I won't catch a cold."
That's what she said, but she didn't refuse the jacket that was forcibly pressed on the shoulders by the dragon's claws.
"Whether you catch a cold is one thing, but whether you're cold or not is another." Su Bai pursed his lips and smiled, before Ji Xiaqing rolled his eyes, he said, "I'm not cold, even a little hot, after all, I'm young. "
She stood with Ji Xiaqing, looking into the distance, talking incongruously.
When the huge red dragon glides through the velvety-black sky, what you see are two people standing side by side, their hair entangled in the wind, making it impossible to tell each other apart.
The red dragon landed lightly and let out a low growl.
"Guderian," Su Bai had already discovered the whereabouts of the person coming, turned around calmly, nodded slightly to the senior brother who turned into a human form with shaking dragon wings, and then looked at the three people behind Guderian, a little surprised , "Why is there one more?"
The woman hidden in the black robe should be Hu Shiyue, the head of the underground government. The little police officer next to her who is nodding at the two is their old friend Zhong Er. A tall man with a bit of ferocity... Su Bai and Ji Xiaqing don't know each other.
"Gao Ke." The tall man seemed to see the doubt in Su Bai's eyes, and offered his name, but he didn't intend to shake hands, and even looked at Su Bai with a bit of hostility in his eyes.
"Old Gao is now the general manager of the underground resistance army," Guderian stepped forward, separated the unfriendly eye contact between the two, and introduced by the way, "I am also an old friend of mine, and have cooperated many times; old Gao, this is Su Bai, my little junior sister, the tower master of the Tower of Babel."
"You're quite young," Gao Ke looked Su Bai up and down, his brows were tightly frowned, and he said coldly, "Old Gu, I approve of you, but I don't think this young man has any qualifications to let us come here. "
Before Su Bai could speak, Ji Xiaqing took a step forward with an indifferent expression, "Ji Xiaqing."
Gao Ke was choked up, took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and stopped talking.
[This is why I brought Zhong Er with me in addition to Gao Ke,] Guderian's voice sounded in Su Bai's heart, with a bit of helplessness, [Although he is the leader of the rebel army now, he treats you very much. He is hostile and has a very hot personality, so hot that he doesn't look like the leader of a power at all.I am afraid that if there is any cooperation, he may have a negative effect. At least Zhong Er is familiar with us, and we can communicate better. 】
【you? 】Su Bai didn't pay attention to the content of Guderian's words, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to struggle with personal pronouns.
Guderian choked up and sighed, [Wrong, we, it's us. 】
【You also know that I don't please the three sides below,】 he murmured, 【It seems that I have something to do with either side, and I am not a human being on either side.As time went by, the names became a bit confusing. 】
The two of them were communicating secretly, but Ji Xiaqing was looking at the woman who was hidden in the black robe and had no sense of existence.
Hu Shiyue... She frowned slightly.
I always feel that something has been overlooked by myself.
"Can we go? Where are we going?" Ji Xiaqing was silent for a while, and Gao Ke said in a low voice with extreme dissatisfaction, "I don't have much time to play house with Dragon Cub."
His provocative words did not make Su Bai angry, she just turned her head to look at the brightly lit human camp, and called out unhurriedly, "Three claws!"
A thin, deformed human like a monkey came out of the room, directed a few people to carry a heavy desk, then ran a few steps and stood in front of Ji Xiaqing, ignoring Su Bai who called her, respectfully, " Your Majesty, didn’t you just forget what the fingerprints represent? I simply moved the table back then, and if you think about it carefully on the way, maybe you will remember it?”
Ji Xiaqing raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, "I have a heart."
Su Bai looked at the three claws that ignored him at all, ground his teeth, but didn't say anything, turned around, looked straight at Guderian, "We're going to Ah Qing's final resting place."
"Oh."
"We're going to Ah Qing's final resting place." Su Bai repeated softly.
Guderian blinked, reacted, and said angrily, "So I'm a vehicle again?"
"I can do it too." Su Bai looked at her expressionlessly.
"How dare I use your little ancestor as a means of transportation, His Majesty Qingdi is still here," Guderian muttered, and the huge red dragon appeared in the open space again, with its wings hanging down, "Come up."
Three Claws hurriedly directed the people to move the table onto the dragon's back, and Gao Ke Zhonger and Hu Shiyue, who had a very low sense of presence, also stepped on the dragon's back skillfully.
Ji Xiaqing walked to the table silently, staring at the fingerprints that were not deep or shallow on the table, while Gao Ke looked at the three claws who had no intention of going down the dragon's back and Guderian who had already taken off, and finally realized the problem. seriousness.
"What exactly happened?" He walked a few steps quickly, and stood next to Su Bai with an ugly face and asked, "Humans, the Tower of Babel, the underground, what are we going to do with so many of us here?"
Su Bai frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and told softly, "Regarding the survival of the entire Ether Continent, even if it is a hostile relationship, there is no reason for the Tower of Babel not to bring you."
"Talking like farting," Gao Ke frowned even more, and said foul language unscrupulously, "God is talking, why should we trust you?"
The flying Guderian dragon felt pain in his head.
Sure enough, there was a quarrel.
Ji Xiaqing, who was staring at the groove on the table thinking, frowned slightly, and cast a displeased glance.
Three Claws immediately understood what she meant, and was about to speak, but Su Bai, who had been paying attention to Ji Xiaqing's movements, took a step ahead, Su Bai's face was sullen, and his voice was extremely cold, "You can get out, I won't stop you .”
"The survival of the underground rebel army is nothing to me, and it doesn't matter to the Tower of Babel."
"I took you with me out of kindness, but it's not necessary."
"Now, shut up or get out!"
The young woman's voice was indifferent, and she faced Gao Ke's wide-eyed eyes with the same aura, and even faintly overwhelmed him.
After Su Bai finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Ji Xiaqing's side, leaving Gao Ke who was trembling with anger at his back.
The irritable leader of the rebel army took a few breaths, looked at Zhong Er who was huddled beside the dragon's back and said nothing, and strode over, staring at this subordinate who was not very good at him, "You and them familiar, you go ask."
"Hu Shiyue over there didn't speak, neither did the representatives of the human camp, only you, very noisy," Zhong Er said coldly, "If I were you, just sit down quietly."
Gao Ke was so choked up that he couldn't speak a word, he took a few deep breaths, his chest rose and fell like a bellows.Finally, suppressing displeasure and anger, he sat down slowly.
Finally, a moment of tranquility was found on the dragon's back. Ji Xiaqing stared at the dent on the table, slowly thought of something, exhaled lightly, laughed, and shook his head.
She seemed to understand what she was thinking at the time.
Ji Xiaqing thought about various possibilities in his mind, moved his body, and looked at the three distinct places on the dragon's back.
She was standing at the dragon's neck, Su Bai and Three Claws were standing on her left and right sides respectively, and Three Claws was a little farther away, about two meters away from her; and near the dragon's tail were Gao Ke and Zhong Er, standing next to each other. It's not close, probably there is a bit of suspicion.
Hu Shiyue... She turned her gaze to the black-clothed woman sitting low-key in the middle of the dragon's back, who hadn't spoken a word, and frowned slightly.
Low-key is a virtue, but she is too low-key.
Moreover, if Gao Ke and Zhong Er are easily drawn over because of their personal relationship with Guderian, it seems that the person in charge of the underground world has no personal relationship with Guderian, let alone the king in Xiaobai Killer. Afterwards, the relationship between the underground world regime and the Tower of Babel also weakened a lot.
However, judging by her reaction, Guderian didn't seem to take much effort to pull her over.
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.Ji Xiaqing raised the vigilance level of Hu Shiyue, who had no sense of existence, in his heart.
"We're almost there." The silence on the dragon's back lasted for about two hours, and Guderian finally spoke softly.The red dragon flapped its wings and looked at the stable crack not far away.
The pure darkness is incompatible with the quiet night around, and the violent energy surging in the crack is even more frightening.
Su Bai pursed his lips and remained silent, glanced at Ji Xia Qing, and after getting an affirmative answer, he pointed at it as a sword and drew in the air.
With the vibration of her fingertips, a huge forbidden light and shadow vaguely appeared in the air, and then submerged into Guderian's dragon body.
"Let's go." Su Bai said softly.
Guderian patted the dragon's wings blankly, looked around the empty dragon's body without any trace of runes, and turned his head to look at Su Bai on the dragon's back.
Xiaolong gritted his teeth, kicked Guderian's scales lightly, "Go as long as you want."
"Oh." Guderian flapped his wings, and at the moment when he was about to sink into the darkness, bright golden light burst out all around him!Enveloping the entire dragon in it, Guderian stopped suddenly in fright, suspended in the air, flapping the dragon's wings in a daze.
"The latest new development of the research institute," Su Bai looked at Ji Xiaqing's surprised eyes, smiled, and explained softly, "That is, a hidden plug-in and a conditional plug-in are added to the original forbidden technique. I just 'defined' the condition as 'triggered when encountering an extremely strange situation'."
Speaking of the knowledge about the progress of talisman research, Xiaolong became excited and chattered endlessly, "Now the entire Tower of Babel's research institute has devoted most of its energy to the research of talisman. You know, Ah Qing, who used to question the theocracy. The main force is this group of people, now loosen the shackles on them, one by one can't wait to live in the laboratory, and now there are many interesting achievements, but Guderian is too busy and doesn't know these things, so he was scared .I'll tell you a little bit later."
Emperor Qing nodded and pondered for a while, "Is this talisman plug-in only for specific forbidden techniques or has it been used in all forbidden techniques?"
"Ah Qing, it's narrow." Su Bai blinked slyly, "It has already been popularized in 90% of the talismans."
Ji Xiaqing's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to look at Su Bai, his eyes full of disbelief.
It is not a simple small achievement to be able to popularize all talismans.
This means that the overwhelming fireball and meteor art that could not be concealed can be hidden in the sky, which means that the talisman that had to be cast instantly has a wider range of applications.
This is an invention that crosses the ages!It is a milestone in the history of talisman!
"Isn't it?" Su Bai easily read the shock from Ji Xia's green eyes, and glanced at the hostile forces behind the Tower of Babel: the frowning three claws and the depressed Gao Ke— —She didn't lower her voice.
So the owner of the Tower of Babel laughed even more wantonly, with a strong warning and showing off in his words, "There are still many such inventions in the Tower of Babel."
"Very good," Ji Xiaqing murmured, nodded, and a relieved smile slowly appeared on his lips, "Xiaobai, it's really good."
With her hands resting on the table, she suddenly relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
In ancient times, she was bound by responsibility—or by a strange and stupid sense of self-superiority. Every day, she was thinking about how to lead the barren, chaotic and backward Ether Continent to progress and prosperity.She dutifully instilled the class concept of freedom and equality in the ether that was still in slavery, created the first and second industrial revolutions with her bare hands, taught them how to use fire, find electricity and magnetism, and told them about the starry sky and the universe... Including after being disturbed by Xiaolong to sleep forever, she also naturally inherited the Qing Emperor's sense of responsibility, looking for the hidden truth.
But they never thought about it, in fact, they can discover these themselves, and they can even do better than themselves, just like they never thought about the popularization and use of forbidden techniques and plug-ins.
Ji Xiaqing stood upright in the wind, glanced at Guderian at his feet, then turned his head to look at Su Bai, and his eyes slid across the faces of Hu Shiyue, Gao Ke, San Zhuo and Zhong Er in turn.
They are all dragons and phoenixes.
She laughed suddenly, wanton and free and easy.
"Ah Qing?" Su Bai felt inexplicably tense, stepped forward, looked at Ji Xiaqing's smiling face, and asked lately, "Ah Qing, what's wrong with you?"
"I forgave myself," Ji Xiaqing turned his head and stared at Su Bai's face, "so I was free."
Before Su Bai could ask, she turned around again, looked at the hideous crack in front of her, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Guderian, prepare to enter the extremely strange place, the coordinates of my eternal resting place can move, and now There is no Shoubai Sword to locate it, and it may take some effort to find it..."
Before her words fell, Guderian had already flapped his wings and entered the extreme.
Ji Xiaqing's voice gradually dropped.
The huge red dragon hovered in the eerie darkness, the dragon's eyes were wide open, looking at the huge white sphere that was right in front of several people, and there was no need to look for it.
"Your Majesty Qing Emperor," Guderian felt his throat dry, "Is that your final resting place?"
-------------------------------------
Ji Xiaqing resisted the huge gravitational force, stared at the huge hexagonal frame attached to the surface of the sphere, similar to a window, and finally answered the question Guderian answered a quarter of an hour ago, "Is it my eternal sleep?" land."
After knowing that the Ether is a spaceship, she has more ideas about the ball in front of her.
"An ecological ball..." she whispered softly, "It can complete a simple ecological cycle, has a protective cover with strong energy and long battery life, and broke away from the original spaceship components to float in a certain strange attack .”
She tapped the strange metal hexagonal frame and sighed softly.
"It's a suitable place to be buried."
Hearing this, Su Bai flew over from another direction, and Zhong Er and Gao Ke also flew back after being a little further away, and the three claws never walked away.Several people looked at Ji Xiaqing with a solemn expression.
The grumpy leader of the rebel army who had been patient for a long time couldn't help but speak first, "So, Emperor Qing... His Majesty Qingdi, this ball appears here, isn't it normal?"
Ji Xiaqing turned around, looked at Hu Shiyue who didn't seem surprised, and didn't make any reaction, a trace of doubt and thought flashed in his eyes, but he didn't stay idle, "It's theoretically possible, this ball can Floating to any very strange place, of course, it is also possible to float to the opening of the crack."
"But it's too coincidental," Su Bai said with a serious expression, "It's a coincidence that someone put it here on purpose, waiting for us to come over."
"Be confident, remove the 'like'," Ji Xiaqing said lightly, "Look at our team. The ancient emperor, the tower master of the Tower of Babel, the first consul of the Tower of Babel, the head of the human camp, Gotham The head of the government/government, the leader of the Gotham Rebel Army, and..." She glanced at Zhong Er who shrank back, "The representative of the Gotham Rebel Army."
"This team did not hide their whereabouts, but passed through the small half of the etheric continent in a grand manner." Ji Xiaqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that someone has already made preparations."
"Go in?" Guderian was still a dragon, with a thick voice.
"Of course go in." Ji Xiaqing took a step forward, his figure slowly being engulfed by the white light, "The fifth one should have been waiting for a long time."
Su Bai and Three Claws followed without hesitation. Guderian smacked his lips and flapped his wings to enter. Hu Shiyue had been standing on his back, and gradually disappeared into the white light.
Gao Ke subconsciously glanced at Zhong Er who was at the side. The short police officer hesitated for a while, then followed the pace of several people.
The irritable leader of the resistance army stood alone in the eerie darkness. After a while, he finally gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and rushed into the white ball with his eyes closed.
It didn't have the impact feeling he had imagined, but a warm and calm stagnation and obstruction like sea water.
This obstacle only lasted for a moment, and then, the strong direct sunlight made him unable to open his eyes.
After he got used to it slowly, he found himself standing on a small mound, with lush grass under his feet, and several people with serious expressions beside him.
Gao Ke followed their gazes and saw the majestic and rolling hills, or in other words, the tomb of the Qing Emperor.
"Look, even the landing point has been chosen for us, which saves trouble." Ji Xiaqing chuckled.
Before Gao Ke had time to think about why there was grass and sunshine, Ji Xiaqing and Su Bai had already rushed to the entrance of the big tomb.
Guderian quickly followed, followed by Sanzhuo Hu Shiyue and Zhong Er. In the blink of an eye, there was no one left.
The bad-tempered leader of the rebel army took a deep breath, and walked forward with a sullen head.
Ji Xiaqing didn't walk towards the entrance of the big tomb, but directly jumped down the figurine pit, and whispered to Su Bai, "Look, look for the fingerprints on the figurines."
Su Bai took out the terminal, while Ji Xiaqing flicked forward and ordered, "Find every fingerprint and compare whether it is the same one."
It didn't take too long, Su Bai held the terminal and walked to Ji Xiaqing, "Ah Qing, it shows that there are at least three sets of different fingerprints."
"It means it's from three people?" Ji Xiaqing didn't turn his head, staring at a shallow groove on the shoulder of the figurine in front of him without any trace.
"In theory," Su Bai nodded, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "or it can also be said that it came from three hands, but it was the same person."
Ji Xiaqing was silent for a while, then shook his head, "Let's go."
She left the figurines in front of her, jumped onto the ground with a light leap, looked at the people waiting quietly, and finally her eyes fell on Hu Shiyue who hadn't said a word, then shook her head slightly, Turn around and walk towards the entrance of the tomb, "Let's go, enter the tomb."
Under Ji Xiaqing's command, the group avoided several forbidden techniques and formations that were still in operation, and easily arrived at the main tomb.Ji Xiaqing stared at the boxy "coffin", and suddenly chuckled, "Xiaobai, we missed another clue. Although it is useless to us now, it was clearly in front of us at that time. I did not notice."
"What do you mean?" Su Bai frowned blankly, looking at the weird cube-shaped coffin.
"Xuanqing Stone," Ji Xiaqing laughed, "it has excellent strength and toughness, as well as the most superior energy isolation ability."
"This boxy coffin is a natural carrier," Ji Xiaqing said with emotion, "During the 1 years I slept in it, the strength of my soul would dissipate at a normal flow rate. If the soul really leaves the carrier 1 Ten thousand years, no matter how strong my soul is and how perverted my talent is, I won't be able to stay for ten thousand years."
"Let's test you again." She looked at the cube that she had been asleep for thousands of years, and circled it with interest. "Aside from its excellent strength and toughness, what other characteristics does Xuanqing Stone have?"
Su Bai was taken aback.Then he scratched his head in embarrassment.
She has only been out of school for less than a year, and she has not yet graduated in theory—it is just employed early, and she has not learned a lot of knowledge.
"It's very easy to leave traces, Xuanqing Stone is very easy to leave traces," Guderian said softly, "So, Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"
"What I was looking for back then was the fingerprint of the Fifth Sticker's [Prohibition of Soul Transmigration] amulet. After all, the pure Xuanqing Stone is simply a natural fingerprint recorder," Ji Xiaqing circled around the cube, "but I obviously Too much underestimation of my old friend, the fifth will not make such a small mistake, so the trace I am looking for is not a fingerprint at all."
"Then what are you looking for?" Su Bai frowned.
"He must have been very careful when he pasted the spell, so he didn't necessarily leave traces," Ji Xiaqing's head popped out from the opposite side of the cube coffin, and snapped his fingers, "However, if the fifth stick is here in this lonely 1 One day in the middle of the year, he wants to visit my old friend, and he probably won't be so careful."
"Huh, here's one," she knelt down to look at a dent, "looks like it was accidentally rubbed."
"Ah, here too."
"The fifth one has come too many times, but there are also here, three in a row."
The indentations are all similar little dots, one finger wide.
"What do you mean?" Gao Ke, the most impatient in the team, couldn't help but raise his hand to speak.
"Can't you think of it?" Ji Xiaqing helplessly straightened up and stood opposite, "Fingerprints, dents."
Gao Ke was choked up, gritted his teeth and growled, "Should I know?"
"Forget it, you can't count on your brain worth [-] million that hasn't been opened yet." Ji Xiaqing seemed to let go so much that he regained his vicious nature. Wuzhi, do you think I am right?"
Gao Ke felt his hair stand on end, and suddenly looked back.
A man covered in a black robe whose gender cannot be identified has quietly stood behind them.
He looked at the black robe that was exactly the same as that of Hu Shiyue beside him, and couldn't help tugging at the sleeve of the woman beside him, "What do you have to do with him?"
"It's nothing to do with it," came a cold female voice from under the hood, "It's just a bump."
Ji Xiaqing brushed aside the people in front of him, strolled over like a man in black, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Why? Don't hide from me anymore?"
The man in black didn't respond.
"You said, I should have thought of it a long time ago, right?" Ji Xiaqing circled around him, "The fingerprints of the figurines only stayed in the previous period, and there were several sets of different fingerprints in the middle, but Eventually it all faded away.”
"The people who made the figurines are not skilled in their skills. They already have the habit of using force on certain parts. This habit has not been corrected. Why are there no fingerprints on the figurines later?"
Ji Xiaqing circled around the man in black, his voice getting louder and louder, "Because the person who pinched the figurines has no fingerprints! But he still has the habit of using force, so he still left marks on the figurines!"
"For example," she stood in front of the black-robed man, "a dent about the width of a finger."
She stared at the shadow under the hood of the black robe, "He misses his old friends very much, so occasionally he will come back to see his poor old friend sleeping in the Xuanqing stone coffin, but he will always accidentally leave There are some traces of bumps and bumps, probably sometimes he misses too much and can't help but use his hands—I'll call them hands for the time being, and lightly touch the Xuanqing Stone, which is extremely prone to traces."
"So it left a couple of finger-wide dents."
"And, a few obvious facts, my old friend's handwriting is quite ugly, like a dog crawling," Ji Xiaqing put his hands in his pockets, staring at the black-robed man who was slightly taller than himself in front of him, " He never practiced calligraphy, but there are a few notes left for me, that regular script, very beautiful."
"I don't think this old friend of mine has the habit of asking a secretary to write for him. Besides, if it's to convince me that it's him, shouldn't he use a font I'm familiar with?"
Ji Xiaqing sighed.
"Unless, he can't write anymore."
"Even, my old friend didn't say a word to me when I was awake, even though we have met several times."
Ji Xiaqing slowly raised his hand, grasped the hood of the black robe, and murmured softly, "Fifth Zhi, what are you afraid of?"
"Or, do you think I'm afraid?"
With all her strength, she lifted off the black robe that was draped over the man.
There were a few short breaths and exclamations behind him.
The person in front of him—it seems that he can no longer be called a human being. He is covered with a mechanical skeleton. A set of blood vessels and a set of circuits are attached to the skeleton, which are intertwined, but there is no blood flow in the blood vessels; there is a huge glass on the chest. Vessel, in the vessel, there is an old, light white heart that is two or three circles larger than normal people. Next to the heart, there are several small needle tubes with a little medicine in it; further up is the head, which is like two obsidian stones. His eyes were embedded in the steel skeleton, and the skull was also a glass container, filled with several circles of expansion, and the folds on the cerebral cortex were almost invisible.
Obsidian-like eyes turned slightly, looking at Ji Xiaqing in front of him.
"That's how you lived for 1 years," Ji Xiaqing laughed mockingly, "The Ship of Theseus."
"I'm sorry to meet you in this form," the "person" said, a cold and sharp electronic synthesized voice, but with strong feelings and apologies, "My dear comrade, my eternal partner, I am very sorry I'm sorry, Ah Qing."
"Why don't you just change to a mechanical body? It should be very painful." Ji Xiaqing stared at his heart and brain contained in a glass container, "If you read correctly, these two parts are still your original ones. It’s just that it has been cancerous for a long time.”
"I tore part of the soul and created many purely mechanical or half-mechanical and half-flesh monsters—for example, the tower master of the Tower of Babel and the leader of the human relics research team you saw before were all played by me, "Fifth Persistence nodded slightly at Su Bai and Guderian who were still in shock in the distance, and then looked at Ji Xiaqing in front of them, "Heart and brain...they are controllable cancers, and only infinitely dividing cells can survive." It's been so long."
"As for why," he paused, "I don't trust machines. Having some flesh and blood, especially my own flesh and blood, will make me feel more secure."
"I have seen many cases of heart transplantation," the fifth cling said to himself. "Patients who have been successfully transplanted with a heart somehow end up with some vices and personalities of the original owner of the heart. Perhaps, only the flesh/body Existing at the same time as the soul, this person can be called existence."
"Thank you then," Ji Xiaqing twitched the corners of his lips, "I don't have a body now."
The Fifth Commander was silent for a long time.
"……Feel sorry."
"There's no need to apologize," Ji Xiaqing waved his hand. "We don't have much time. Before I confirm the final secret of the Ether Continent with you, I want to make a small verification."
"What?" The fifth executive seemed a little surprised.
"Why make a god?" Ji Xiaqing narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Ah, you said this, Ah Qing, you also know." The Fifth Execution seems to be relieved, "There is no transition to the religious era in the Ether Continent, and a lot of scientific research materials have been lost due to the war, so there are many things that they can't explain now but are The phenomena and principles in use. We have made a big mistake once. This time, we cannot tell them the answer directly, but those unexplainable phenomena and principles can easily be used by interested people, causing chaos and war. Instead of making their own religious It is better for me to give a better religious guidance directly to the senseless war against theocracy."
"Look at the God of the Tower of Babel, doesn't he have a low sense of existence and has been doing a good job of guiding?" The fifth executive added.
"I know, but that's not what I'm talking about." Ji Xiaqing frowned, as if he was thinking, "Why make a real god?"
She looked at the obsidian-like eyes that were no longer moving in front of her, and said word by word, "Someone, someone I trust very much, once said that he saw God with his own eyes—"
"His left hand was broad, simple, rough, and heavy, the palm of a working man; his right hand was delicate, small, delicate, and graceful, the palm of a nobleman; his left foot wore army riding boots; his right foot stepped on the maiden's Cloth shoes, wearing a black robe representing chaos. This shows that no matter who, even criminals, are His children, they can get His protection. This is the evidence of "God is amorphous" and "God loves all peoples" !"
Ji Xiaqing repeated what Manstein had said, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, "Tell me, of course gods exist, but why use corpses from the underground world to make such a suture god. "
"I don't know about it." The Fifth Officer shook his head slowly.
"Lie!" Ji Xiaqing yelled suddenly, "Fifth Perseverance! You habitually glance at the upper left when you lie, and this problem has not changed even if you look like this now!"
"...I can only say that I didn't do this." The fifth officer was silent for a while, and changed his expression.
"I didn't do it, but I know it." Ji Xiaqing quickly retracted the terrible look before, and narrowed his eyes like a fox, "It's very interesting."
"The army of dead men, 'Sapphire' was made by you, right?" she asked abruptly.
"...Yes." The Fifth Holder lowered his head slightly, as if feeling guilty.
"It seems that you really didn't do it." Ji Xiaqing shook his head.
Su Bai had already woken up from the shock. Hearing this conversation, he couldn't help asking, "Ah Qing, why?"
"I should have had similar doubts at the time, but maybe I didn't ask." Ji Xiaqing turned her head and smiled at her, then turned her head to look at Wu Zhi, "If it's really the same person who did it, why are you making it?" When the Sapphire troops and the "Sewing Gods" didn't dispose of the corpses in the same way, they used completely different dissection methods, leaving such a big loophole for themselves?"
"You know, but you didn't stop it," Ji Xiaqing looked into Wu Zhi's eyes, "or you pretended not to know and condoned the existence of this matter."
"Ha, besides me, who else in the entire Ether Continent can get such indulgence from you? Who else can mislead us from the very beginning and point the clue of 'the stitching god' to you?"
"There don't seem to be many answers."
Ji Xiaqing turned around again, looking at the other corridor leading to the main tomb, his voice was cold.
"Taiyi, get out."
A light blue figure slowly appeared, bowing slightly towards her, "Your Majesty, I'm here."
But Ji Xiaqing ignored her, but still stared at the other corridor.
Finally, out of the corridor, a limping
His Majesty Qingdi looked down at her, and he didn't let go of his hands as if angry, and his arms were even tighter.
"Ah Qing, don't be willful," Su Bai sighed lightly, as if coaxing a child, he patted Ji Xia Qing on the back, "We still have to discuss how to announce this news to the Tower of Babel."
Ji Xiaqing snorted, buried his head in Su Bai's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't say what the news was."
The corner of Su Bai's lips twitched upwards, poked Ji Xia Qing's face, and said amusedly, "Ah Qing, be more mature."
Ji Xiaqing raised his head slowly, looking at Xiaolong's side face with strange eyes.
How many years, how many years no one said to her: "be more mature".
She is a majestic Qing Emperor!
A little sourness in her heart and pity for Xiaobai were diluted by this strange feeling, she loosened her hand around Su Bai's waist, took a step back, and stared at Su Bai's increasingly mature and steady side face.
The sophisticated temperament that does not match the age is blended with the youthful face, and the youthful flesh/body shell is covered with a neat formal coat, in order to conceal the youth of the owner of the Tower of Babel At an excessive age, she still wears a pair of plain glasses on the bridge of her nose, with stars reflected on the mirrors.The glasses are gold-rimmed and look even more...attractive.
Ji Xiaqing exhaled lightly, and finally realized clearly that in front of her was not the immature little dragon who had just grown up in her memory, but the master of a tower, the controller of the greatest power in the Ether Continent.
"Let's take one step at a time." Ji Xiaqing moved a few steps, stood next to Su Bai, retracted his chaotic thoughts, and gradually calmed down, "What I said is just my guess based on the existing clues, or Say, we can only see one result now, and we need more clues about the process."
"So it's useless to discuss how to announce the news now. Maybe the truth will be good news?" Su Bai's lips curled up slightly, and he forced a smile. He unbuttoned his jacket, put it on Ji Xiaqing, and said warmly, "Is it cold?"
Ji Xiaqing blinked blankly.
Suddenly become the one who needs to be taken care of?
"Xiaobai, you should know that I am a mechanical body now." She squeezed the space between her brows with a headache, "I won't catch a cold."
That's what she said, but she didn't refuse the jacket that was forcibly pressed on the shoulders by the dragon's claws.
"Whether you catch a cold is one thing, but whether you're cold or not is another." Su Bai pursed his lips and smiled, before Ji Xiaqing rolled his eyes, he said, "I'm not cold, even a little hot, after all, I'm young. "
She stood with Ji Xiaqing, looking into the distance, talking incongruously.
When the huge red dragon glides through the velvety-black sky, what you see are two people standing side by side, their hair entangled in the wind, making it impossible to tell each other apart.
The red dragon landed lightly and let out a low growl.
"Guderian," Su Bai had already discovered the whereabouts of the person coming, turned around calmly, nodded slightly to the senior brother who turned into a human form with shaking dragon wings, and then looked at the three people behind Guderian, a little surprised , "Why is there one more?"
The woman hidden in the black robe should be Hu Shiyue, the head of the underground government. The little police officer next to her who is nodding at the two is their old friend Zhong Er. A tall man with a bit of ferocity... Su Bai and Ji Xiaqing don't know each other.
"Gao Ke." The tall man seemed to see the doubt in Su Bai's eyes, and offered his name, but he didn't intend to shake hands, and even looked at Su Bai with a bit of hostility in his eyes.
"Old Gao is now the general manager of the underground resistance army," Guderian stepped forward, separated the unfriendly eye contact between the two, and introduced by the way, "I am also an old friend of mine, and have cooperated many times; old Gao, this is Su Bai, my little junior sister, the tower master of the Tower of Babel."
"You're quite young," Gao Ke looked Su Bai up and down, his brows were tightly frowned, and he said coldly, "Old Gu, I approve of you, but I don't think this young man has any qualifications to let us come here. "
Before Su Bai could speak, Ji Xiaqing took a step forward with an indifferent expression, "Ji Xiaqing."
Gao Ke was choked up, took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and stopped talking.
[This is why I brought Zhong Er with me in addition to Gao Ke,] Guderian's voice sounded in Su Bai's heart, with a bit of helplessness, [Although he is the leader of the rebel army now, he treats you very much. He is hostile and has a very hot personality, so hot that he doesn't look like the leader of a power at all.I am afraid that if there is any cooperation, he may have a negative effect. At least Zhong Er is familiar with us, and we can communicate better. 】
【you? 】Su Bai didn't pay attention to the content of Guderian's words, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to struggle with personal pronouns.
Guderian choked up and sighed, [Wrong, we, it's us. 】
【You also know that I don't please the three sides below,】 he murmured, 【It seems that I have something to do with either side, and I am not a human being on either side.As time went by, the names became a bit confusing. 】
The two of them were communicating secretly, but Ji Xiaqing was looking at the woman who was hidden in the black robe and had no sense of existence.
Hu Shiyue... She frowned slightly.
I always feel that something has been overlooked by myself.
"Can we go? Where are we going?" Ji Xiaqing was silent for a while, and Gao Ke said in a low voice with extreme dissatisfaction, "I don't have much time to play house with Dragon Cub."
His provocative words did not make Su Bai angry, she just turned her head to look at the brightly lit human camp, and called out unhurriedly, "Three claws!"
A thin, deformed human like a monkey came out of the room, directed a few people to carry a heavy desk, then ran a few steps and stood in front of Ji Xiaqing, ignoring Su Bai who called her, respectfully, " Your Majesty, didn’t you just forget what the fingerprints represent? I simply moved the table back then, and if you think about it carefully on the way, maybe you will remember it?”
Ji Xiaqing raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, "I have a heart."
Su Bai looked at the three claws that ignored him at all, ground his teeth, but didn't say anything, turned around, looked straight at Guderian, "We're going to Ah Qing's final resting place."
"Oh."
"We're going to Ah Qing's final resting place." Su Bai repeated softly.
Guderian blinked, reacted, and said angrily, "So I'm a vehicle again?"
"I can do it too." Su Bai looked at her expressionlessly.
"How dare I use your little ancestor as a means of transportation, His Majesty Qingdi is still here," Guderian muttered, and the huge red dragon appeared in the open space again, with its wings hanging down, "Come up."
Three Claws hurriedly directed the people to move the table onto the dragon's back, and Gao Ke Zhonger and Hu Shiyue, who had a very low sense of presence, also stepped on the dragon's back skillfully.
Ji Xiaqing walked to the table silently, staring at the fingerprints that were not deep or shallow on the table, while Gao Ke looked at the three claws who had no intention of going down the dragon's back and Guderian who had already taken off, and finally realized the problem. seriousness.
"What exactly happened?" He walked a few steps quickly, and stood next to Su Bai with an ugly face and asked, "Humans, the Tower of Babel, the underground, what are we going to do with so many of us here?"
Su Bai frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and told softly, "Regarding the survival of the entire Ether Continent, even if it is a hostile relationship, there is no reason for the Tower of Babel not to bring you."
"Talking like farting," Gao Ke frowned even more, and said foul language unscrupulously, "God is talking, why should we trust you?"
The flying Guderian dragon felt pain in his head.
Sure enough, there was a quarrel.
Ji Xiaqing, who was staring at the groove on the table thinking, frowned slightly, and cast a displeased glance.
Three Claws immediately understood what she meant, and was about to speak, but Su Bai, who had been paying attention to Ji Xiaqing's movements, took a step ahead, Su Bai's face was sullen, and his voice was extremely cold, "You can get out, I won't stop you .”
"The survival of the underground rebel army is nothing to me, and it doesn't matter to the Tower of Babel."
"I took you with me out of kindness, but it's not necessary."
"Now, shut up or get out!"
The young woman's voice was indifferent, and she faced Gao Ke's wide-eyed eyes with the same aura, and even faintly overwhelmed him.
After Su Bai finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Ji Xiaqing's side, leaving Gao Ke who was trembling with anger at his back.
The irritable leader of the rebel army took a few breaths, looked at Zhong Er who was huddled beside the dragon's back and said nothing, and strode over, staring at this subordinate who was not very good at him, "You and them familiar, you go ask."
"Hu Shiyue over there didn't speak, neither did the representatives of the human camp, only you, very noisy," Zhong Er said coldly, "If I were you, just sit down quietly."
Gao Ke was so choked up that he couldn't speak a word, he took a few deep breaths, his chest rose and fell like a bellows.Finally, suppressing displeasure and anger, he sat down slowly.
Finally, a moment of tranquility was found on the dragon's back. Ji Xiaqing stared at the dent on the table, slowly thought of something, exhaled lightly, laughed, and shook his head.
She seemed to understand what she was thinking at the time.
Ji Xiaqing thought about various possibilities in his mind, moved his body, and looked at the three distinct places on the dragon's back.
She was standing at the dragon's neck, Su Bai and Three Claws were standing on her left and right sides respectively, and Three Claws was a little farther away, about two meters away from her; and near the dragon's tail were Gao Ke and Zhong Er, standing next to each other. It's not close, probably there is a bit of suspicion.
Hu Shiyue... She turned her gaze to the black-clothed woman sitting low-key in the middle of the dragon's back, who hadn't spoken a word, and frowned slightly.
Low-key is a virtue, but she is too low-key.
Moreover, if Gao Ke and Zhong Er are easily drawn over because of their personal relationship with Guderian, it seems that the person in charge of the underground world has no personal relationship with Guderian, let alone the king in Xiaobai Killer. Afterwards, the relationship between the underground world regime and the Tower of Babel also weakened a lot.
However, judging by her reaction, Guderian didn't seem to take much effort to pull her over.
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.Ji Xiaqing raised the vigilance level of Hu Shiyue, who had no sense of existence, in his heart.
"We're almost there." The silence on the dragon's back lasted for about two hours, and Guderian finally spoke softly.The red dragon flapped its wings and looked at the stable crack not far away.
The pure darkness is incompatible with the quiet night around, and the violent energy surging in the crack is even more frightening.
Su Bai pursed his lips and remained silent, glanced at Ji Xia Qing, and after getting an affirmative answer, he pointed at it as a sword and drew in the air.
With the vibration of her fingertips, a huge forbidden light and shadow vaguely appeared in the air, and then submerged into Guderian's dragon body.
"Let's go." Su Bai said softly.
Guderian patted the dragon's wings blankly, looked around the empty dragon's body without any trace of runes, and turned his head to look at Su Bai on the dragon's back.
Xiaolong gritted his teeth, kicked Guderian's scales lightly, "Go as long as you want."
"Oh." Guderian flapped his wings, and at the moment when he was about to sink into the darkness, bright golden light burst out all around him!Enveloping the entire dragon in it, Guderian stopped suddenly in fright, suspended in the air, flapping the dragon's wings in a daze.
"The latest new development of the research institute," Su Bai looked at Ji Xiaqing's surprised eyes, smiled, and explained softly, "That is, a hidden plug-in and a conditional plug-in are added to the original forbidden technique. I just 'defined' the condition as 'triggered when encountering an extremely strange situation'."
Speaking of the knowledge about the progress of talisman research, Xiaolong became excited and chattered endlessly, "Now the entire Tower of Babel's research institute has devoted most of its energy to the research of talisman. You know, Ah Qing, who used to question the theocracy. The main force is this group of people, now loosen the shackles on them, one by one can't wait to live in the laboratory, and now there are many interesting achievements, but Guderian is too busy and doesn't know these things, so he was scared .I'll tell you a little bit later."
Emperor Qing nodded and pondered for a while, "Is this talisman plug-in only for specific forbidden techniques or has it been used in all forbidden techniques?"
"Ah Qing, it's narrow." Su Bai blinked slyly, "It has already been popularized in 90% of the talismans."
Ji Xiaqing's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to look at Su Bai, his eyes full of disbelief.
It is not a simple small achievement to be able to popularize all talismans.
This means that the overwhelming fireball and meteor art that could not be concealed can be hidden in the sky, which means that the talisman that had to be cast instantly has a wider range of applications.
This is an invention that crosses the ages!It is a milestone in the history of talisman!
"Isn't it?" Su Bai easily read the shock from Ji Xia's green eyes, and glanced at the hostile forces behind the Tower of Babel: the frowning three claws and the depressed Gao Ke— —She didn't lower her voice.
So the owner of the Tower of Babel laughed even more wantonly, with a strong warning and showing off in his words, "There are still many such inventions in the Tower of Babel."
"Very good," Ji Xiaqing murmured, nodded, and a relieved smile slowly appeared on his lips, "Xiaobai, it's really good."
With her hands resting on the table, she suddenly relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
In ancient times, she was bound by responsibility—or by a strange and stupid sense of self-superiority. Every day, she was thinking about how to lead the barren, chaotic and backward Ether Continent to progress and prosperity.She dutifully instilled the class concept of freedom and equality in the ether that was still in slavery, created the first and second industrial revolutions with her bare hands, taught them how to use fire, find electricity and magnetism, and told them about the starry sky and the universe... Including after being disturbed by Xiaolong to sleep forever, she also naturally inherited the Qing Emperor's sense of responsibility, looking for the hidden truth.
But they never thought about it, in fact, they can discover these themselves, and they can even do better than themselves, just like they never thought about the popularization and use of forbidden techniques and plug-ins.
Ji Xiaqing stood upright in the wind, glanced at Guderian at his feet, then turned his head to look at Su Bai, and his eyes slid across the faces of Hu Shiyue, Gao Ke, San Zhuo and Zhong Er in turn.
They are all dragons and phoenixes.
She laughed suddenly, wanton and free and easy.
"Ah Qing?" Su Bai felt inexplicably tense, stepped forward, looked at Ji Xiaqing's smiling face, and asked lately, "Ah Qing, what's wrong with you?"
"I forgave myself," Ji Xiaqing turned his head and stared at Su Bai's face, "so I was free."
Before Su Bai could ask, she turned around again, looked at the hideous crack in front of her, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Guderian, prepare to enter the extremely strange place, the coordinates of my eternal resting place can move, and now There is no Shoubai Sword to locate it, and it may take some effort to find it..."
Before her words fell, Guderian had already flapped his wings and entered the extreme.
Ji Xiaqing's voice gradually dropped.
The huge red dragon hovered in the eerie darkness, the dragon's eyes were wide open, looking at the huge white sphere that was right in front of several people, and there was no need to look for it.
"Your Majesty Qing Emperor," Guderian felt his throat dry, "Is that your final resting place?"
-------------------------------------
Ji Xiaqing resisted the huge gravitational force, stared at the huge hexagonal frame attached to the surface of the sphere, similar to a window, and finally answered the question Guderian answered a quarter of an hour ago, "Is it my eternal sleep?" land."
After knowing that the Ether is a spaceship, she has more ideas about the ball in front of her.
"An ecological ball..." she whispered softly, "It can complete a simple ecological cycle, has a protective cover with strong energy and long battery life, and broke away from the original spaceship components to float in a certain strange attack .”
She tapped the strange metal hexagonal frame and sighed softly.
"It's a suitable place to be buried."
Hearing this, Su Bai flew over from another direction, and Zhong Er and Gao Ke also flew back after being a little further away, and the three claws never walked away.Several people looked at Ji Xiaqing with a solemn expression.
The grumpy leader of the rebel army who had been patient for a long time couldn't help but speak first, "So, Emperor Qing... His Majesty Qingdi, this ball appears here, isn't it normal?"
Ji Xiaqing turned around, looked at Hu Shiyue who didn't seem surprised, and didn't make any reaction, a trace of doubt and thought flashed in his eyes, but he didn't stay idle, "It's theoretically possible, this ball can Floating to any very strange place, of course, it is also possible to float to the opening of the crack."
"But it's too coincidental," Su Bai said with a serious expression, "It's a coincidence that someone put it here on purpose, waiting for us to come over."
"Be confident, remove the 'like'," Ji Xiaqing said lightly, "Look at our team. The ancient emperor, the tower master of the Tower of Babel, the first consul of the Tower of Babel, the head of the human camp, Gotham The head of the government/government, the leader of the Gotham Rebel Army, and..." She glanced at Zhong Er who shrank back, "The representative of the Gotham Rebel Army."
"This team did not hide their whereabouts, but passed through the small half of the etheric continent in a grand manner." Ji Xiaqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that someone has already made preparations."
"Go in?" Guderian was still a dragon, with a thick voice.
"Of course go in." Ji Xiaqing took a step forward, his figure slowly being engulfed by the white light, "The fifth one should have been waiting for a long time."
Su Bai and Three Claws followed without hesitation. Guderian smacked his lips and flapped his wings to enter. Hu Shiyue had been standing on his back, and gradually disappeared into the white light.
Gao Ke subconsciously glanced at Zhong Er who was at the side. The short police officer hesitated for a while, then followed the pace of several people.
The irritable leader of the resistance army stood alone in the eerie darkness. After a while, he finally gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and rushed into the white ball with his eyes closed.
It didn't have the impact feeling he had imagined, but a warm and calm stagnation and obstruction like sea water.
This obstacle only lasted for a moment, and then, the strong direct sunlight made him unable to open his eyes.
After he got used to it slowly, he found himself standing on a small mound, with lush grass under his feet, and several people with serious expressions beside him.
Gao Ke followed their gazes and saw the majestic and rolling hills, or in other words, the tomb of the Qing Emperor.
"Look, even the landing point has been chosen for us, which saves trouble." Ji Xiaqing chuckled.
Before Gao Ke had time to think about why there was grass and sunshine, Ji Xiaqing and Su Bai had already rushed to the entrance of the big tomb.
Guderian quickly followed, followed by Sanzhuo Hu Shiyue and Zhong Er. In the blink of an eye, there was no one left.
The bad-tempered leader of the rebel army took a deep breath, and walked forward with a sullen head.
Ji Xiaqing didn't walk towards the entrance of the big tomb, but directly jumped down the figurine pit, and whispered to Su Bai, "Look, look for the fingerprints on the figurines."
Su Bai took out the terminal, while Ji Xiaqing flicked forward and ordered, "Find every fingerprint and compare whether it is the same one."
It didn't take too long, Su Bai held the terminal and walked to Ji Xiaqing, "Ah Qing, it shows that there are at least three sets of different fingerprints."
"It means it's from three people?" Ji Xiaqing didn't turn his head, staring at a shallow groove on the shoulder of the figurine in front of him without any trace.
"In theory," Su Bai nodded, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "or it can also be said that it came from three hands, but it was the same person."
Ji Xiaqing was silent for a while, then shook his head, "Let's go."
She left the figurines in front of her, jumped onto the ground with a light leap, looked at the people waiting quietly, and finally her eyes fell on Hu Shiyue who hadn't said a word, then shook her head slightly, Turn around and walk towards the entrance of the tomb, "Let's go, enter the tomb."
Under Ji Xiaqing's command, the group avoided several forbidden techniques and formations that were still in operation, and easily arrived at the main tomb.Ji Xiaqing stared at the boxy "coffin", and suddenly chuckled, "Xiaobai, we missed another clue. Although it is useless to us now, it was clearly in front of us at that time. I did not notice."
"What do you mean?" Su Bai frowned blankly, looking at the weird cube-shaped coffin.
"Xuanqing Stone," Ji Xiaqing laughed, "it has excellent strength and toughness, as well as the most superior energy isolation ability."
"This boxy coffin is a natural carrier," Ji Xiaqing said with emotion, "During the 1 years I slept in it, the strength of my soul would dissipate at a normal flow rate. If the soul really leaves the carrier 1 Ten thousand years, no matter how strong my soul is and how perverted my talent is, I won't be able to stay for ten thousand years."
"Let's test you again." She looked at the cube that she had been asleep for thousands of years, and circled it with interest. "Aside from its excellent strength and toughness, what other characteristics does Xuanqing Stone have?"
Su Bai was taken aback.Then he scratched his head in embarrassment.
She has only been out of school for less than a year, and she has not yet graduated in theory—it is just employed early, and she has not learned a lot of knowledge.
"It's very easy to leave traces, Xuanqing Stone is very easy to leave traces," Guderian said softly, "So, Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"
"What I was looking for back then was the fingerprint of the Fifth Sticker's [Prohibition of Soul Transmigration] amulet. After all, the pure Xuanqing Stone is simply a natural fingerprint recorder," Ji Xiaqing circled around the cube, "but I obviously Too much underestimation of my old friend, the fifth will not make such a small mistake, so the trace I am looking for is not a fingerprint at all."
"Then what are you looking for?" Su Bai frowned.
"He must have been very careful when he pasted the spell, so he didn't necessarily leave traces," Ji Xiaqing's head popped out from the opposite side of the cube coffin, and snapped his fingers, "However, if the fifth stick is here in this lonely 1 One day in the middle of the year, he wants to visit my old friend, and he probably won't be so careful."
"Huh, here's one," she knelt down to look at a dent, "looks like it was accidentally rubbed."
"Ah, here too."
"The fifth one has come too many times, but there are also here, three in a row."
The indentations are all similar little dots, one finger wide.
"What do you mean?" Gao Ke, the most impatient in the team, couldn't help but raise his hand to speak.
"Can't you think of it?" Ji Xiaqing helplessly straightened up and stood opposite, "Fingerprints, dents."
Gao Ke was choked up, gritted his teeth and growled, "Should I know?"
"Forget it, you can't count on your brain worth [-] million that hasn't been opened yet." Ji Xiaqing seemed to let go so much that he regained his vicious nature. Wuzhi, do you think I am right?"
Gao Ke felt his hair stand on end, and suddenly looked back.
A man covered in a black robe whose gender cannot be identified has quietly stood behind them.
He looked at the black robe that was exactly the same as that of Hu Shiyue beside him, and couldn't help tugging at the sleeve of the woman beside him, "What do you have to do with him?"
"It's nothing to do with it," came a cold female voice from under the hood, "It's just a bump."
Ji Xiaqing brushed aside the people in front of him, strolled over like a man in black, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Why? Don't hide from me anymore?"
The man in black didn't respond.
"You said, I should have thought of it a long time ago, right?" Ji Xiaqing circled around him, "The fingerprints of the figurines only stayed in the previous period, and there were several sets of different fingerprints in the middle, but Eventually it all faded away.”
"The people who made the figurines are not skilled in their skills. They already have the habit of using force on certain parts. This habit has not been corrected. Why are there no fingerprints on the figurines later?"
Ji Xiaqing circled around the man in black, his voice getting louder and louder, "Because the person who pinched the figurines has no fingerprints! But he still has the habit of using force, so he still left marks on the figurines!"
"For example," she stood in front of the black-robed man, "a dent about the width of a finger."
She stared at the shadow under the hood of the black robe, "He misses his old friends very much, so occasionally he will come back to see his poor old friend sleeping in the Xuanqing stone coffin, but he will always accidentally leave There are some traces of bumps and bumps, probably sometimes he misses too much and can't help but use his hands—I'll call them hands for the time being, and lightly touch the Xuanqing Stone, which is extremely prone to traces."
"So it left a couple of finger-wide dents."
"And, a few obvious facts, my old friend's handwriting is quite ugly, like a dog crawling," Ji Xiaqing put his hands in his pockets, staring at the black-robed man who was slightly taller than himself in front of him, " He never practiced calligraphy, but there are a few notes left for me, that regular script, very beautiful."
"I don't think this old friend of mine has the habit of asking a secretary to write for him. Besides, if it's to convince me that it's him, shouldn't he use a font I'm familiar with?"
Ji Xiaqing sighed.
"Unless, he can't write anymore."
"Even, my old friend didn't say a word to me when I was awake, even though we have met several times."
Ji Xiaqing slowly raised his hand, grasped the hood of the black robe, and murmured softly, "Fifth Zhi, what are you afraid of?"
"Or, do you think I'm afraid?"
With all her strength, she lifted off the black robe that was draped over the man.
There were a few short breaths and exclamations behind him.
The person in front of him—it seems that he can no longer be called a human being. He is covered with a mechanical skeleton. A set of blood vessels and a set of circuits are attached to the skeleton, which are intertwined, but there is no blood flow in the blood vessels; there is a huge glass on the chest. Vessel, in the vessel, there is an old, light white heart that is two or three circles larger than normal people. Next to the heart, there are several small needle tubes with a little medicine in it; further up is the head, which is like two obsidian stones. His eyes were embedded in the steel skeleton, and the skull was also a glass container, filled with several circles of expansion, and the folds on the cerebral cortex were almost invisible.
Obsidian-like eyes turned slightly, looking at Ji Xiaqing in front of him.
"That's how you lived for 1 years," Ji Xiaqing laughed mockingly, "The Ship of Theseus."
"I'm sorry to meet you in this form," the "person" said, a cold and sharp electronic synthesized voice, but with strong feelings and apologies, "My dear comrade, my eternal partner, I am very sorry I'm sorry, Ah Qing."
"Why don't you just change to a mechanical body? It should be very painful." Ji Xiaqing stared at his heart and brain contained in a glass container, "If you read correctly, these two parts are still your original ones. It’s just that it has been cancerous for a long time.”
"I tore part of the soul and created many purely mechanical or half-mechanical and half-flesh monsters—for example, the tower master of the Tower of Babel and the leader of the human relics research team you saw before were all played by me, "Fifth Persistence nodded slightly at Su Bai and Guderian who were still in shock in the distance, and then looked at Ji Xiaqing in front of them, "Heart and brain...they are controllable cancers, and only infinitely dividing cells can survive." It's been so long."
"As for why," he paused, "I don't trust machines. Having some flesh and blood, especially my own flesh and blood, will make me feel more secure."
"I have seen many cases of heart transplantation," the fifth cling said to himself. "Patients who have been successfully transplanted with a heart somehow end up with some vices and personalities of the original owner of the heart. Perhaps, only the flesh/body Existing at the same time as the soul, this person can be called existence."
"Thank you then," Ji Xiaqing twitched the corners of his lips, "I don't have a body now."
The Fifth Commander was silent for a long time.
"……Feel sorry."
"There's no need to apologize," Ji Xiaqing waved his hand. "We don't have much time. Before I confirm the final secret of the Ether Continent with you, I want to make a small verification."
"What?" The fifth executive seemed a little surprised.
"Why make a god?" Ji Xiaqing narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Ah, you said this, Ah Qing, you also know." The Fifth Execution seems to be relieved, "There is no transition to the religious era in the Ether Continent, and a lot of scientific research materials have been lost due to the war, so there are many things that they can't explain now but are The phenomena and principles in use. We have made a big mistake once. This time, we cannot tell them the answer directly, but those unexplainable phenomena and principles can easily be used by interested people, causing chaos and war. Instead of making their own religious It is better for me to give a better religious guidance directly to the senseless war against theocracy."
"Look at the God of the Tower of Babel, doesn't he have a low sense of existence and has been doing a good job of guiding?" The fifth executive added.
"I know, but that's not what I'm talking about." Ji Xiaqing frowned, as if he was thinking, "Why make a real god?"
She looked at the obsidian-like eyes that were no longer moving in front of her, and said word by word, "Someone, someone I trust very much, once said that he saw God with his own eyes—"
"His left hand was broad, simple, rough, and heavy, the palm of a working man; his right hand was delicate, small, delicate, and graceful, the palm of a nobleman; his left foot wore army riding boots; his right foot stepped on the maiden's Cloth shoes, wearing a black robe representing chaos. This shows that no matter who, even criminals, are His children, they can get His protection. This is the evidence of "God is amorphous" and "God loves all peoples" !"
Ji Xiaqing repeated what Manstein had said, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, "Tell me, of course gods exist, but why use corpses from the underground world to make such a suture god. "
"I don't know about it." The Fifth Officer shook his head slowly.
"Lie!" Ji Xiaqing yelled suddenly, "Fifth Perseverance! You habitually glance at the upper left when you lie, and this problem has not changed even if you look like this now!"
"...I can only say that I didn't do this." The fifth officer was silent for a while, and changed his expression.
"I didn't do it, but I know it." Ji Xiaqing quickly retracted the terrible look before, and narrowed his eyes like a fox, "It's very interesting."
"The army of dead men, 'Sapphire' was made by you, right?" she asked abruptly.
"...Yes." The Fifth Holder lowered his head slightly, as if feeling guilty.

Ji Xiaqing turned her head and smiled at her, then turned her head to look at Wu Zhi, "If it's really the same person who did it, why are you making it?" When the Sapphire troops and the "Sewing Gods" didn't dispose of the corpses in the same way, they used completely different dissection methods, leaving such a big loophole for themselves?"
"You know, but you didn't stop it," Ji Xiaqing looked into Wu Zhi's eyes, "or you pretended not to know and condoned the existence of this matter."
"Ha, besides me, who else in the entire Ether Continent can get such indulgence from you? Who else can mislead us from the very beginning and point the clue of 'the stitching god' to you?"
"There don't seem to be many answers."
Ji Xiaqing turned around again, looking at the other corridor leading to the main tomb, his voice was cold.
"Taiyi, get out."
