Ciri entered the consciousness space of the World Tree with Joshua.
A round table and chairs were floating in the empty space, and on the chair sat a blue-haired girl who was eating something like a cake.
The blue-haired girl saw Qiao Xiu suddenly appearing in the space. The thing she had swallowed in her mouth was choked, and she kept patting her chest before swallowing the thing in her throat reluctantly.
"Um..." Ciri stared at the blue-haired girl for a long time. "The two cats at home have finally become humans?"
Ciri's statement annoyed a black cat and a white cat living in the mental space. The black cat appeared at Ciri's feet, and the white cat lay directly on Ciri's head.
"Could it be that the bird changed?"
Ciri hugged the cat on her head, and Shiratori also landed on Joshua's shoulder in midair.
"She's not a world tree... and she can't be considered a human being. The origin is a little complicated. You can just treat it as an NPC in the game." Joshua introduced the Ascendant girl to Ciri. "She is from the underground ruins of Nolan. ... a race that calls itself Ascended."
"You... you actually caught another one of my clan."
During this time, Bai Yue has realized that she has become a prisoner of Qiao Xiu, and she can only redeem herself by working for Qiao Xiu, but Bai Yue did not give up hope and has been trying to find a way to escape from here and temporarily return to that body in the real world.
The method has not yet been found, but Qiao Xiu did not know that a new sublimator had been abducted from there.
but…
"No, you are not!"
Bai Yue could feel the breath of their family in Ciri, but it also contained the primitive soul of human beings.
"My name is Ciri."
Ciri didn't wait for Qiao Xiu's introduction, she already understood when she saw the blue inscriptions on Bai Yue's skin, that she might be the "professional" that Qiao Xiu said.
"I have the same inscriptions on my body and soul as you." Ciri stretched out her hand to Bai Yue, and the blue inscription on her left hand only needs a thought to emerge in the consciousness space. "These inscriptions are in the end. What is the use?"
After Ciri knew that these inscriptions came from her mother, she no longer wanted to eliminate them, and now Ciri just wanted to figure out what the inscriptions represented.
"The foundation of our ability to walk in the real world, the mark of the union of spirit and soul."
When Bai Yue faced Ciri, she was not as vigilant as she was with Joshua, maybe she felt a familiar breath in Ciri.
She glanced at Qiao Xiu quietly, and after receiving Qiao Xiu's permission, she carefully floated in front of Ciri, and reached out to hold Ciri's wrist.
"Our family abandoned the body many years ago and lived in the consciousness and spiritual world. The mistress told us that this is a form of existence that surpasses the flesh and blood... An existence composed of inscriptions alone." Bai Yue is touching After meeting Ciri, she looked at Ciri with curiosity in her eyes.
"But you are very special. Your soul and body fit perfectly, but these inscriptions can make you affect the world of consciousness and spirit. More specifically, only our mistress and master can tell you."
"Uh... Is this the strongest law of hybrids?"
Qiao Xiu listened to Bai Yue's introduction, how did he feel that Ciri inherited both the characteristics of human beings and sublime at the same time.
From the intelligence that Joshua had collected before, the sublime had to pay a price to walk in the real world.
"Thank you for your explanation, and how did you meet your mistress and... master father?"
Ciri is eager to find out about her mother's past, which is likely to find the reason for her mother's death.
"No need, my clan will come to find you." Bai Yue's voice sounded very happy. "I haven't seen a new clan for a long time, and someone will take you back to receive the gift soon."
"What do you mean by so-called gift?" Joshua asked.
"Abandon this troublesome body and live forever in the world of consciousness."
When Bai Yue said this, her voice was full of pride and complacency, the pride of being a sublimator.
But she was completely unaware of the changes in Joshua and Ciri's expressions.
"When will your clan come to me?" Ciri could barely keep a smile on her face.
"Soon, before I came to carry out the mission, I heard from the mistress that I found a new clan member who was lost outside. I didn't expect it to be you... I think someone will come to bring you back to receive the gift soon."
Bai Yue said with a little excitement that she welcomed the arrival of the new clan, and seemed to be looking forward to that kind of ceremony called a gift.
It's just that her excited voice stopped abruptly in the next second and turned into a panicked cry.
Because when Bai Yue came back to her senses, a staff with a tip like a spear had already touched Bai Yue's chin, and her neck was firmly held by a long sword.
Bai Yue felt the cold touch on her neck, and looked at Qiao Xiu and Ciri in horror. Now the expressions of the two of them are unexpectedly the same, that is, gloomy and terrifying.
what happened again? Bai Yue almost cried under this huge pressure.
"Tell me when your fellow clan came to find it, and what means or method to use! Immediately now!" Qiao Xiu's voice was calm, but it was filled with your intention to kill you if you didn't make it clear.
"I... I don't know... My clansmen's actions don't have any rules, only... Only the mistress and the mistress know."
Bai Yue's voice has completely taken on a cry.
"Where are the mistress and the mistress?"
This time it was Ciri's turn to ask... Bai Yue felt the crystal at the tip of the staff on her throat approach her again.
"this… "
"Don't worry, I just want to talk to them." Joshua said in a low voice.
What a posture to talk about! Bai Yue felt that if she said no... maybe her life would end here.
But at this moment, when Bai Yue was about to collapse, his dissatisfaction with Qiao Xiu began to surge.
"Why don't you humans understand, don't you think this body is a burden... Obviously..."
"I have a lot to refute you, but it doesn't make any sense..." Qiao Xiu realized that Bai Yue would say these words because of different values. "But please remember one thing."
"What... what?"
Bai Yue saw a warm smile on Qiao Xiu's face, but there was a feeling of infiltration.
"If your clan dares to touch my fiancée... the lifespan of your sublime will end on the same day." Joshua retracted the long sword in his hand, and put his other hand on Ciri's arm to calm her down down.
"So what you say next will determine whether your race can continue. I'm serious."
