Qingkong scooped a few meatballs from the pot with a spoon. Seeing that there were too many, it would be bad for him to eat them all by himself, he passed them to Lin Xi.
"Thank you, but I can't eat meat this week." Lin Xi said with a bitter face.
Qingkong uttered an "oh" and remembered, "The aftereffects of the wooden fish."
"Yeah." Lin Xi wanted to cry. In fact, she regretted it the moment she entered the hot pot restaurant. What's the point of eating hot pot if you can't eat meat
Qingkong turned the spoon and put the meatballs into his bowl with peace of mind.
"I just ordered a lot of vegetarian meatballs, they are also delicious." Chen Chu said as he scooped a spoonful with a colander and put it into Lin Xi's bowl.
"Thank you." Lin Xi's depressed mood was slightly comforted.
"Chen Chu's problem has been solved. Now it's yours." Qingkong turned and looked at Lin Yan while biting a beef ball.
Lin Yan was puzzled: "Me?"
Qingkong asked sharply, "Why is Lanyan chasing you?"
When it comes to Lan Yan, Lin Yan suddenly loses her appetite: "I want to know too, okay?"
At first, Lin Yan thought that Lan Yan would target her because she dressed up as "Goku Sadako" to rescue people at Lan Yan headquarters a few months ago, but later she thought that this incident did slap Lan Yan in the face, but there was no need for Lan Yan to hold her accountable. There were many superpowers who stopped Lan Yan's terrorist activities, and no one had the special treatment she did, and even went directly to Chi Shui. Chi Shui's survival rate was only 5%, and the cost of revenge on her was too high.
Wait, not many people knew that I went to Chishui, how did Lan Yan know about it
"Lan Yan even chased you to Chishui in order to catch you." Qingkong also thought of this and asked directly, "Did you tell anyone about your trip to Chishui?"
"No, I didn't tell anyone." Lin Xi shook her head quickly.
"That is to say, except for you two, no one knows that you are going to Chishui?" Qingkong confirmed.
Lin Yan nodded.
Qingkong pushed his glasses habitually and said, "Then this matter is simple. The people from Lanyan should have guessed that you would definitely enter Chishui based on something."
Chen Chu frowned: "But what did Lan Yan base his guess on?"
Qingkong looked at Chen Chu meaningfully: "I also want to ask, Lin Yan's fighting ability is so weak, why are you willing to take her in?"
Chen Chu did not answer immediately, but glanced at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan understood and took the initiative to take over the conversation: "Because of the plague, I originally planned to find an opportunity to transfer the plague in my body to the high priest."
Qingkong understood: "In the end, it was used on the Lord of Chishui City in advance."
He witnessed with his own eyes how the Lord of Chishui City suddenly turned dark blue above the water. When Lin Xi mentioned it, he made the connection.
Lin Xi nodded. Who could have thought that the Lord of Chishui City would be sealed with drought? She had just transferred a catastrophic item away, and then transferred another one back. As a result, not only did she fail to kill the other party, she almost died.
Qingkong tapped the table with one hand, pushing up his glasses from time to time. After a long while, he spoke again: "Maybe Lan Yan knows too?"
Lin Yan, who was concentrating on eating, looked up in confusion: "What do you know? The plague in my body?"
This is possible. Although she never told anyone that she had the plague, Mia used the "engagement ring" on her once at the Y Country Airport. The plague was transferred once at that time, so it is not surprising that it was discovered.
Chen Chu's focus was different from Lin Yan's. He thought more deeply: "You mean, Lan Yan also knows about the six catastrophic items?"
Qingkong looked at Chen Chu and nodded.
Chen Chu's face suddenly turned ugly: "The plague was sealed by Miao Geyun and has been dormant in the ground of the Miao village. If the high priest had not broken into the Miao village this time and wanted to borrow the body of the Gu King, Miao Geyun would not have woken up. Therefore, no one should know about the existence of the plague. Unless..."
Qingkong: "Unless there is someone like you who is also a savior."
When Qingkong mentioned the word "savior", he couldn't help but twitching his lips. He was so childish that he was embarrassed to say the word "savior" out loud.
Chen Chu: "You mean the leader of Blue Flame might be the savior chosen by Tianyu Continent?"
Qingkong disagreed: "What's so strange about that? If the high priest can choose you, why can't he choose someone else? As for saviors, the more the better."
Lin Yan was so shocked by the conjecture that the leader of Blue Flame was the savior that she dropped her vegetable meatballs all over the floor: "The high priest chose Senior Chen Chu because of his background. What about the leader of Blue Flame? Is he also a spirit from Tianyu Continent?"
Qingkong remained calm and said, "What's impossible? If Chen Chu can come to Earth, why can't others?"
Although I don’t know what method they used, this possibility definitely exists and the probability is very high.
Lin Yan was shocked, but once she accepted this setting, many things became clear to her. She slammed the table and said suddenly, "No wonder Lan Yan always does bad things on Earth."
It seems that they are not from Earth.
Chen Chu shook his head: "That's not right. If Lan Yan is the savior, then why has he only brought out a geography map in all these years?"
Given Blue Flame's unscrupulous style of doing things, he would not care about the harm caused by catastrophic items to the earth. There would be no need for those sealers to sacrifice themselves to suppress the catastrophic items. It should be easier to collect the items.
Qingkong looked at Lin Yan: "Because of Lin Yan."
Chen Chu also reacted: "Heavenly Realm!"
Qingkong nodded: "This is probably why Lan Yan targeted Lin Yan."
Qingkong's reasoning is so logical that one cannot help but agree with it.
"Wait, I have a question..." Lin Yan raised her hand and expressed her doubt, "How did the leader of Blue Flame know that I could enter the Heavenly Extreme Realm? I only found out about it not long ago."
As soon as Lin Xi said this, they both turned their heads to look at her at the same time. Chen Chu's eyes were full of helplessness, while Qing Kong once again seemed to have seen through something.
"Did you just find out about this too?" Qingkong asked.
"yes."
"Who told you?" Qingkong continued to ask.
"Yes..." Lin Yan suddenly came to her senses, and faced the inquiring gazes of the two men, and silently changed her question to, "Guess?"
Chen Chu laughed and guessed in agreement, "Sadako?"
Qingkong: "Or the owner of the wooden fish, Master Ci Hai?"
Does she think that this information comes from her supernatural props? Although she guessed wrong, her guess was very reasonable and infinitely close. The existence of the system cannot be explained, but her props also come from the system. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was the props that told her.
Lin Yan replied ambiguously: "About the same."
Qingkong hummed and looked at Chen Chu: "It seems that it is not a single prop."
Chen Chu nodded, indicating that he thought so too.
Lin Yan: “…”
Isn't it a bit rude of you two to speculate on other people's secrets in front of others
Lin Yan: "That's not the point. The point is why the leader of Blue Flame knows all this?"
Qingkong: "Have you forgotten how the high priest recognized your identity?"
Lin Yan suddenly realized that it was a wooden fish from a senior monk. She had also used wooden fish from senior monks in the outside world. If the high priest could recognize Master Ci Hai, the leader of Lan Yan should be able to do so as well. The premise was that he was also from Tianyu Continent.
Chen Chu thought more: "The Blue Flame organization has the most necromancers, and the monk's wooden fish is exactly a prop for necromancers. Maybe the Blue Flame condones the necromancers to perform soul sacrifices and create terrorist activities around the world in order to find Lin Yan."
Qingkong agreed, "If the purpose of Blue Flame leader is to revive Tianyu, then a large number of terrorist activities will not benefit him. The only purpose can only be to find someone."
Lin Yan almost cried when she heard about her miserable situation: "Why am I so unlucky?"
Qingkong said without any empathy: "You are not used to it yet?"
Lin Xi rolled her eyes fiercely. Why did she have to get used to bad luck
Chen Chu was much kinder and comforted him warmly: "This way, at least you can be sure that the people from Blue Flame will not hurt you."
Qingkong immediately interrupted: "Lan Yan is a terrorist. Don't even think about not hurting him. At most, we won't kill him."
"Woo" Lin Xi was so scared that the chopsticks in her hand fell.
Yes, if everyone has the same goal, why would there be conflict!
Chen Chu and Qingkong realized something was wrong at the same time. They looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.
Qingkong spoke first: "No, there must be another reason. If Lanyan's goal is the same as ours, there is no need for Lanyan to capture Lin Yan. Instead, he should do his best to help you complete the collection of the props as soon as possible."
Chen Chu also said: "So, either the method of salvation mentioned by the high priest is not all, or Lan Yan has other purposes."
Qingkong: "What's the purpose?"
Chen Chu shook his head.
Qingkong: "So what the high priest said is not all? The way to save the world is not as simple as they say."
Chen Chu frowned: "That's not right. If Lan Yan's goal is to save the world, and he knows about Lin Yan's existence, then Lan Yan can take the initiative to contact the high priest. In this way, the high priest doesn't need to cooperate with me at all."
The High Priest would have trouble cooperating with him, and he would have to control him. It was completely different to cooperate with Blue Flame, Blue Flame would not care about the Earth at all, the only thing they had to do was to catch Lin Yan. In Chishui City, with the High Priest and Shuize, it would be easy to catch Lin Yan.
Qingkong: "Is Lan Yan's purpose not to save the world? Is it just to find Lin Yan? Then what is the purpose of finding Lin Yan? Finding her but not killing her is unreasonable."
Qingkong looked at Lin Yan as he spoke. He always felt that the root of the problem lay with Lin Yan.
What do you mean by not killing me after finding me? That's unreasonable. You are hoping that I will be killed by Lan Yan's people, right
Chen Chu also looked at Lin Yan: "Do you have any more information to provide?"
I don't have any information to provide. If it weren't for you two analyzing it like this, my world would have always been very simple.
"Let me ask." Although she was complaining in her heart, Lin Xi knew that Chen Chu's question was not about her, but about her special supernatural props.
When the two heard that Lin Xi was about to ask, they immediately shut up tacitly and waited for the answer.
Lin Yan felt a little awkward being stared at by the two men's piercing eyes: "Well, how about you guys eat some food first? I'm a little nervous when you look at me like that."
The two were speechless, but they still picked up their chopsticks and lowered their heads to eat the hot pot. Fortunately, it was hot pot, otherwise the three of them would have chatted for such a long time and the food would have been cold.
Lin Yan took the opportunity to pick up a piece of enoki mushroom with chopsticks and ate it while calling the system in her mind: "System, system."
After waiting for a while, the system ignored her.
Lin Yan was speechless: "Alright, I won't ask you if you have world consciousness, alright."
System: "What do you want from me?"
Lin Xi: “…” You really are ignoring me just because of this.
Lin Yan couldn't help complaining: "Did you hear our discussion just now?"
System: “No.”
Pretend, just pretend. Before I didn't know your identity, I could barely believe you, but now that I know your identity, can you not eavesdrop on things related to Tianyu's revival? You are lying.
Lin Yan: "Then let me ask you a question, is the leader of Blue Flame from Tianyu Continent?"
System: “No.”
No? Lin Yan was stunned. If the leader of Blue Flame was not from Tianyu Continent, then he must be from Earth. But if he was a native of Earth, why would he know my specialness
An idea suddenly occurred to Lin Yan: "Do you know the leader of Blue Flame?"
System: “Yes.”
really!
Lin Yan: "What is your relationship?"
System: "He is my previous host."
Sure enough! It has something to do with the system, what else could it be except the host.
In an instant, many things that Lin Yan had not figured out before suddenly became clear. The Blue Flame leader did not discover his specialness through the wooden fish. Earlier, when she used Sadako to climb over the TV to save people, the Blue Flame leader knew the identity of her new host. As the former host, he certainly knew the functions of the system props clearly.
There is also the "Signature Paper of the Stealing God", the supernatural power that Senior Chen Chu stole from the Blue Flame members. Previously, Lin Yan thought that Senior Chen Chu was extremely lucky, and even with a 10% stealing rate, he could successfully steal the supernatural power. But now, Lin Yan has another idea. Could it be that the supernatural power of the Blue Flame members did not originally belong to the Blue Flame members themselves, but was stolen by the Blue Flame leader
"The signature paper of the God of Stealing" is just a piece of paper. Could it be that it contains the skill of stealing God, and this skill actually lies in the Blue Flame leader
Lin Xi suddenly remembered another thing: "You said before that there are two people on Earth who can defeat the high priest. One is me who has the plague, and the other one is the leader of Blue Flame, right?"
System: “Yes.”
Lin Yan was no longer surprised at this time: "He also has similar props?"
System: "He is the Venerable."
Lin Xi gasped and was almost choked to death by the enoki mushrooms. She lowered her head and coughed violently.
"What's wrong?" Although they were eating with their heads down, the two of them who were always paying attention to Lin Yan looked over at the same time.
Lin Yan tried hard to hold onto the table to prevent herself from falling off the chair. She trembled and gave the two of them a smile that was uglier than crying: "Wait, I haven't finished asking."
Lin Yan: "System, I remember you said that once the system is disconnected, the host will die. Why didn't he die?"
The system responded significantly slower this time: "I made this rule after I bound myself to you."
"You... just pick on me, right?" Lin Xi gritted her teeth, this was too much to bear.
System: "It's to fix the bug."
BUG? Lin Yan quickly responded: "Do you think it's a BUG that you didn't kill the Blue Flame leader after you broke away from him?"
System: “Yes.”
Lin Yan: "Do you want Leader Blue Flame to die?"
System: “Yes.”
Lin Xi suddenly felt mentally balanced. They were all hosts, and the system wanted to kill them all, so it was still treating everyone equally.
Lin Yan: "So the Blue Flame leader captured me in order to take you back?"
System: "He can't recycle the system, catch you, just want to use the system through you."
Lin Yan: "What does he want to do with the system?"
System: "Resurrect Tianyu."
Revive Tianyu? Lin Yan suddenly became confused: "You are not Tianyu's... Isn't your goal to revive Tianyu? Why don't you agree?"
We all have the same goal, there is no conflict. Why would the system leave a Venerable and find a loser like me as the host
System: "His method of resuscitation violates the agreement between me and Earth consciousness."
Lin Yan became even more curious: "What agreement?"
System: "We agreed to use the power of the Earth to revive Tianyu, but we must not harm the life forms on Earth. And he wants to completely activate the six world-destroying items on Earth."
Fully activating the six world-destroying props will directly destroy the earth.
Lin Xi frowned: "No, didn't the high priest say that it would be enough to just activate it slightly? Is the high priest lying?"
System: "It is indeed possible, but relying solely on Tianyu's own energy, recovery will be a very long process. But if the energy drawn from the earth is sufficient, Tianyu can recover instantly and return to the time before the collapse."
Lin Yan opened her mouth and said, "He is an Earthling. There is no need to speed up the recovery of Tianyu. What is his purpose?"
System: "Resurrect the Snow Lord, and gain immortality."
