Looking at the Qianyan Army that was trying to surround them nearby, Zhongli said in a low voice.
He also listened to the advice Bai Luo gave him when he last came to Liyue.
Compared with the past, he rarely appears in public.
While handing over all power to the Seven Stars of Liyue, he also tried his best to fade out of the sight of ordinary people.
This way, even if Liyue loses him one day, it will not collapse immediately.
"You just said, this is your sister?"
After being away from the crowd, Zhongli has returned to his usual attire.
He looked at the cat in his arms that seemed a little ferocious and asked.
He could sense that something was wrong with the cat.
"Before I became an executive officer, I rescued a child from a colleague. Later, due to some reasons, he became what he is now."
In fact, Bai Luo didn’t want to give k423 to Zhongli at first.
His original plan was to contact Beidou in Liyue Harbor and use his relationship with Battousai to have him send K423 to Kaigi Island.
Liyue is where he was born, and Zhidong is where he was raised.
But only Kaigi Island was the territory that was truly under his control, so he felt more at ease placing K423 there.
As for Bai Xin... ... how Coral Palace Xinhai should place her was none of his business.
He was only responsible for sending the person over, and after dealing with the doctor, he would find a way to deal with her current crazy personality.
"This child..."
Zhongli frowned slightly and placed his hand on her little head.
A light golden glow appeared, and after a moment the cat in his arms returned to its original shape.
"Hey! Asshole!"
The moment K423 regained his human form, he turned his fingers into claws and swung them towards Zhongli's throat mercilessly.
Even Zhongli couldn't help but frown at the fierce expression.
Because the other party's almost tangible murderous intent did not seem fake.
Before Zhongli could counterattack, Bai Luo attacked first.
The steel wire wrapped around K423's body. Bai Luo immediately pulled her to his side and held her down.
"Hey! Die! Die! Only I can kill him! Only I can kill him! If you dare to do anything to him, I will kill you!"
The steel wire was tightly tied into K423's flesh, and blood was even seeping out of it.
But she seemed not to see it, still staring at Zhongli opposite her, her teeth grinding in her mouth.
I wish I could tear him into pieces.
It seems that the scene of him throwing the rock spear to attack Bai Luo just now has angered this little madman.
"Hmm... Whether it's murderous intent or malicious intent, it's pure to the extreme. This child... Hmm?"
Originally, Zhongli wanted to express some thoughts when he saw the slightly crazy k423.
Unexpectedly, Bai Luo, who was holding k423, freed one hand and took out a fruit from his arms.
The moment he saw the fruit, Zhongli's expression became a little subtle.
He sniffed the sweet scent in the air that represented danger, and couldn't help but look at Bai Luo again.
This thing... ...is it sweeter than before
Chapter 488 The Emperor's Method
Even K423 can't bear to eat a sunset fruit.
Her body went limp, with her front legs bent and her back legs collapsed, and she was suspended in the air by the wire.
"Um?"
Seeing this scene, Zhongli was a little confused.
He had some idea about Bai Luo's fruits.
But although it's sour, it's not sour enough to make people lose consciousness, right
Is it possible
Thinking about the strange state of the girl turning into a cat just now, it seemed to be caused by some external force.
Maybe something similar was put in Bai Luo’s fruit
How else to explain that a girl who had infinitely weakened her sense of taste in order to maximize her other senses would lose consciousness because of the sourness
How to say it
The last time Zhongli came into contact with something related to Bailuo Sunset Fruit was when he ate roasted wild boar with Sunset Fruit at Xiangling's place.
The whole fruit was evenly spread on the wild boar, which alleviated the sour feeling a lot.
In addition, the Rock King's ability to withstand stress is stronger than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, the fruit that seemed extremely sour to others was still acceptable to him.
If you swallow the whole fruit
No one can guarantee whether anything will happen to Emperor Rock.
"Well, her current condition is just like what you see, she is crazy and mad. I wonder if you, the Emperor, can solve this problem?"
Now that they had met, Bai Luo naturally wanted to listen to Zhongli's thoughts.
If he can solve it, that would be great.
"Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to help her in this situation."
Looking at K423 being held by Bai Luo, Zhongli shook his head with a hint of regret.
"Even you don't have any solution?"
Bai Luo was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Zhongli would at least give some useful suggestions.
"Do you remember? I once told you that there is a part of your soul that is missing."
Zhongli did not explain the matter of K423, but instead talked about Bai Luo's own situation.
In fact, Bai Luo has always been very concerned about this matter.
"Well, but I haven't noticed anything unusual during this period of time."
He stretched out his hand and clenched his fist tentatively.
There was no hindrance in his actions or thoughts, and he didn't seem to have lost part of his soul.
If you were to ask what he lost... maybe it was his memories
Bai Luo had very clear memories of being fished out of the winter river.
But before that... ... he had almost no memory.
He knows that this world is a game world, and he also knows that he is not from this world, and he knows what will happen to this world in the future.
But the key point is that both the memory of this world before Zhidong was rescued and the memory of the so-called [real world] are all vague.
I feel it in a trance when I am doing certain things.
[Ah, have I been to this place before? Have I done something similar?]
What's even more strange is that if Zhongli hadn't mentioned this to him, he would have subconsciously ignored these things.
"The loss of your soul was not caused by an accident or unilateral abduction. Based on my observation, you must have reached some kind of agreement with the person who took your soul. You were willing to let the other party take it away, and the other party also used very reasonable means to separate it from your body."
"It's like a puzzle. If you want to take it back someday, you just need to put it back together according to the corresponding method."
Having said that, Zhongli changed the subject and looked at K423 in Bai Luo's arms.
"I don't know what this child has been through. Although the method used on her was very sophisticated, the other party obviously did not leave her a way out."
"She was forcefully torn away from most of her things, and then her remaining senses, emotions, and strengths were all magnified, and all possible weaknesses were discarded, and she became what she is today."
In fact, Zhongli has already explained the situation as well as possible.
To put it in a simple and crude way, this child has been transformed into a killing machine.
What puzzled Zhongli was that usually, this kind of killing machine would erase all past memories and would only be loyal to its own master.
But judging from the conversation with Bai Luo and the child's own reaction
Many of her memories survived.
However, under her current extreme emotions, these memories have caused her feelings towards Bai Luo to change to some extent.
For example, if she abandons all those she likes and depends on, she will transfer this extreme emotion into hatred and madness.
But even so, she would want to protect Bai Luo first when he was in danger.
For example, just now, after witnessing that she almost killed Bai Luo, this little girl attacked her without hesitation.
It seems that the person who transformed this little girl probably hasn't perfected the skills in his hands.
What he did to this little girl was more like some kind of test.
However, this method of abandoning other things and magnifying a few aspects to the extreme
I hope he's just worrying too much.
"So, there is no solution at all?"
Looking at the unconscious K423, Bai Luo seemed a little helpless.
If all else fails, he can only use the bottle of permanent cat potion that Yin had worked so hard to make on her.
Only in this way can she not be so crazy.
“It’s not that there is no way.”
After making a thoughtful expression, Zhongli said.
"From what happened just now, although her evil thoughts have been magnified without limit, the person who did something to her did not completely leave only evil in her body. If we use the methods of the immortals to curb her evil side, perhaps we can gradually restore the goodness that should have been abandoned in her. However, this may take a long time."
The method proposed by Zhongli can be said to be a stupid method.
The reason why Bai Luo wanted to fight to the death with Emperor Yan Wang should be because of the little bit of goodness left in her body.
He will regard this goodness as a seed, allowing good to take root and sprout while curbing evil, ultimately achieving a state of balance between good and evil.
Although it is a stupid method, it is the most effective method so far.
Because only this kind of goodness generated by herself can perfectly offset the erosion of her own evil.
Otherwise, no matter how much external force is used to supplement her with so-called kindness, it will be in vain.
"I have a good relationship with Xie Yue Zhu Yang. I will order him to perform a ritual on this child to stop the evil thoughts from growing. After that... it all depends on her own luck."
"Thank you, Emperor."
Bai Luo's thanks were sincere.
If the Emperor can really help him solve the problem of K423, then he will not tamper with the contract next time.
Well, only once.
Chapter 489: About the Contract...
"Speaking of which, Emperor, do you want to take a look at this?"
As if remembering something, Bai Luo took out the narrative poem he always carried with him.
That was the reward he received from the system after completing a trial in Mond.
He didn't get much useful information from Wendy.
But he felt that the other party was hiding something from him.
So he decided to let the emperor take a look at it as well.
