In a room where only one person lived alone, the girl's expression changed slightly when she looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her.
This place is her own domain. It was truly perfected after she was promoted to Shinhwa not long ago. It is basically one of her foundations after becoming Shinhwa.
… But the other party just walked in quietly
Looking at the man in front of her, the girl had a gloomy expression, but soon after she recognized the person in front of her, her expression quickly turned ugly.
Judging from the appearance, this uninvited guest who suddenly visited her place was dressed quite casually.
He has long black hair tied into a ponytail and draped over his left shoulder, a white shirt with a pink tie and cuffs, gray trousers and a pair of black leather shoes without socks... Overall, the guy in front of him gives off a very capable and refreshing look. a feeling of.
- But only the girl herself knows how dangerous the guy in front of her is.
Not long after she was promoted to the myth level, the first thing she came into contact with was a wanted list that was only open to myth level players.
The purpose of opening this list to her is not to let her hunt down the people on the list, but to warn her to run as far as she can when encountering these beings on the list.
And the guy in front of her was ranked 97th on that list.
Player ID [Where is my Lady Saint?], real name unknown, level Myth, name [The Whisperer]...
Looking at the man holding the cat in the cup in front of her, in less than half a second, relevant information about the most vicious and wanted criminal in front of her flashed through the girl's mind.
According to the records on the list, the first thing the guy in front of him did after becoming a mythical player was to destroy his world with his own hands.
Not only that, all the players who came out of his world, including two mythical players, were destroyed by him one by one.
To this day, he is the only person left from his original world. The number of lives carried by this guy in front of him is on the order of hundreds of billions.
During the period when the opponent was at his craziest, he even teamed up with a certain doomsday and several high-ranking evil gods to attack the front line. At the cost of being seriously injured and dying, he dragged the last mythical player out of his world. into the abyss of death.
After wiping out all the players who came out of his world, the other party fell into silence for hundreds of years, and its whereabouts were once elusive.
The girl didn't expect that just on her first mission after being promoted to the Myth, she would successfully encounter such a legendary disaster star.
"I know you, number 97 on the wanted list, codename [Historian], because no one can remember your appearance, so you always show yourself in the same outfit."
She stretched out her hand to hold her eyes on the bridge of her nose. The girl sitting on the chair looked calm and calm.
"You have disappeared for almost hundreds of years, why do you suddenly appear here?"
"[The Whisperer]? Who gave me this weird code name?"
He had no intention of answering the other party's words. Instead, the man was dissatisfied with such a trivial matter.
"Also, why am I ranked 97th?"
"...I don't think there's any need to beat around the bush between us, what do you think?"
After taking a deep breath and looking at the man petting the cat in front of her, the girl spoke.
"If you have any questions, just tell me. I don't remember that I have offended you before."
"Running around the bush? No, no, no, I think you misunderstood. I really care about this kind of thing."
After being stunned for a while, he waved his hand and the man laughed.
"The latter doesn't matter, but as for the former, I hope you can help tell me to change my code name after you go back. "The Hidden Whisperer" is too ugly."
"Okay, no problem. I wonder what code name you want to change to?"
She breathed a slight sigh of relief in her heart, and while fully agreeing, the girl quietly withdrew the 95th distress message she had sent urgently to the system.
(...Okay, okay, since the other party said so, it seems that I will not die in the line of duty here... Being able to break into my [Game Cabin] silently is simply scary to death... )
"Here, this is it."
Pointing to the top of his head, the man spoke seriously.
"Please inform those people that my code name can only be this from now on."
- Above his head, the title [Ultimate Riddler] is shining brightly.
Girl: "..."
"Okay, now that the small things are done, it's time to get down to business."
Hiding the title above his head, while reaching out to scratch the chin of the cat in his arms, the man smiled and spoke.
"This lovely lady, can you show me your player ID first?"
"..."
After some hesitation, the girl showed her player ID.
[小七].
"Xiao Qi... I remember."
Glancing at the top of the girl's head, the man nodded in understanding.
"You were assigned by the [system] to clean up the mess, right? And what I want you to do is dereliction of duty."
"Dereliction of duty...what do you mean?"
Listening to the man's words, the girl couldn't help but frown slightly.
"If you want to kill these players, there is no need to rely on the law of cause and effect in such a roundabout way. With your strength, I don't think they have any qualifications to resist."
"I've been looking for someone for hundreds of years."
Reaching out and touching the head of the cat in his arms, the man raised his head and looked past the girl to the computer screen behind her.
"In order to find this person, I have done many experiments, but unfortunately, the results of each experiment always make me feel regretful. Over the past few hundred years, I have failed thousands of times, but... tsk, just like Like a cat that smelled something fishy, did it come so fast?"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked somewhere above his head. The man clicked his tongue slightly in displeasure.
"You know, I'm on a business trip, so it's not surprising that the system is paying attention to this place."
Adjusting her glasses, the girl Xiao Qi looked calm.
"Recently, the battle situation on the front line has stabilized, or it can be said to be stable and improving. Under such circumstances, many people will be able to get away, so it is not surprising that some people will feel it so quickly... Why, Do you still need my help now?"
"Forget it, next time."
After waving his hand, the man's words contained a hint of helplessness.
"Really, after all these years, those people are still clinging to that point. I haven't talked for a few minutes yet... What, you want to stop me here for them?"
As if he suddenly sensed something, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and the man looked at the girl in front of him with some fun.
"No, you're overthinking it. I won't do such a thankless thing."
She was slightly surprised in her heart, but on the surface, the girl Xiao Qi shook her head calmly.
"I know your strength very well, and I have only just been promoted to Shinhwa. My background is too poor, so I have no chance."
"Really? It's best if you have this idea."
Shrugging slightly, holding the cat in his arms, the man turned and walked behind him.
"By the way, since you are so knowledgeable, I would like to send you a friendly piece of information... Don't be fooled by the peace shown on the surface. Real storms are born from silence. If you don't do it before, If you are adequately prepared, your death will be quite ugly when the time comes."
"Storm... wait, you mean [the wave] will come back again?"
Her heart tightened slightly, and looking at the man in front of her who turned to leave, the girl quickly asked.
"Is there any new big move on the Kaitan side? Or maybe a new [Apostle] has been born..."
"... [Apostle], [Tide]?"
Stopping, the man chuckled.
"So I said, your vision is too low. If you have time, take the time to go to other places. The storm I am referring to is not just this kind of thing. The so-called [Lord God] in Guaitan Do you think it’s just to fight [the system]?”
Turning his head to look at the girl, the man had a profound look on his face.
"The Kaitan side is already actively making preparations, but on our players' side, I haven't seen any decent measures..."
"What do you mean?"
Looking directly at the man in front of her, the girl stood up from the chair with a roar.
"Ah... I'm so tired. Go explore by yourself. I'm too lazy to talk."
Yawning, the man lazily turned around again.
"Sometimes ignorance may also be a kind of happiness. Just cherish this superficial peace, before the era that finally ends everything comes..."
As the last word in the man's mouth fell, just as when he came, his figure quietly disappeared in front of the girl.
And precisely the next second after the other party left, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the room at the same time.
"You, it seems we are a step too late."
After scanning the room, he ignored the girl standing in the room. The woman with a long sword at her waist who looked like an ancient sword fairy frowned slightly.
"It's normal. After all, that guy has been hiding for hundreds of years. It's not that easy to catch him... It's just a pity for my vacation."
Reaching out and pressing his forehead, You sighed tiredly.
"Hmph... didn't I agree that you would hold him back?"
With a cold snort in her mouth, the woman turned her head and looked at the girl standing in the room, her tone cold and outrageous.
"Why, you just watched a wanted criminal slip away from you, but you didn't make any move?"
"Uh... I can't beat him."
After blinking, Xiao Qi looked innocent.
"That guy threatened me before, saying that if I dared to do anything, he would cut me into pieces on the spot."
"There's no point in upsetting others, let's move on."
Glancing towards Xiao Qi, he reached out and pulled the hand of the woman next to him, and You shook his head.
"After hundreds of years of searching, we finally have a rare clue about the other party. We can't give up just yet."
"snort."
The woman turned around and said nothing.
"Feel sorry."
After showing a slightly apologetic smile to Xiao Qi, You and the woman's figure disappeared from the room together.
Come without a trace, go without a trace.
"Tch... Why are you so proud in front of me? I am a myth now... "
While muttering something resentful, the girl picked up the headphones on the table next to her and put them on her head again, rubbed her palms together, and sat back at the computer desk.
"Sure enough, in this materialistic society, only beautiful young men can comfort me a little. Young man, I will continue to talk to you... Where is this guy?"
… … … … … … … … … … … …
The Demon Refining Pot, the realm within the pot.
"...Is this the end?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Kenai looked suspicious.
"At least that's what it looks like on the surface."
Holding a cup of tea in his hand, while looking at the misty and rainy scenery in the distance, Bai Zhi spoke calmly.
"We just need to wait patiently here for a few more days, and then we can return to the mountain and sea realm again."
With the help of the "courier" sent by the system, all the inhuman things that occupied the city were taken away one by one. Now there is nothing in the outside world.
In fact, if they really wanted to calculate it, they could leave this point in time and return to the correct timeline. But for some reason, the courier suddenly disconnected in the middle of the process.
In this case, if they go back early and no one comes to correct history, it is very likely that their side will bear the extremely huge consequences of tampering with history.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Zhi decided to wait for that guy for a while.
"Shanhai Realm... Well, by the way, speaking of which, do you have control of that mechanical city now?"
His eyes rolled slightly and he moved a little closer to Bai Zhi. Kenai asked secretly and in a low voice.
"As the assets that the prince left to himself, there should be a lot of relics from the former Machinery Empire, right?"
"Mechanical City? I do have certain permissions."
Turning his head to look at the red-haired girl in front of him, Bai Zhi put down the teacup in his hand and answered calmly.
"But authority belongs to authority. Whether we can control that city is still unknown. The certification of empire authority is quite troublesome. There are a series of preventive measures. At the beginning of the setting, it was basically restricted to only the prince. Complete control of that city.”
