Chapter 230: Fog in the Starry Sky Vision
Seeing the crying girl hesitating, Qi'er didn't think much about it, but just put his ear against the wall again. However, after listening carefully for a long time, he still didn't hear any unusual sound, let alone any "hmm" or "ahh".
Her little face suddenly looked a little panicked.
"Sister Weeping Girl!" The girl turned back to look at the doll, her expression somewhat anxious. "Now that I haven't heard any sound, does that mean that the relationship between brother and sister is bad?"
"No, no!" The little doll waved its hands quickly.
It’s broken. It’s broken.
What have you done!
I don't know what went wrong with me just now, I actually said this to the master's sister... Damn it, if the master knew that I led Qi'er astray...
The body of the little doll was stiff, and the weeping girl felt as if the body of this creature was sweating constantly.
How to explain to Qi Er...
She kept thinking in her head, but she just said something unclearly: "No, the relationship between the master and the mistress is very good... Oh, did you forget, I can sense emotions, they are getting along very well now!"
"But didn't you say..."
"That's just one of the scenarios!" the weeping girl explained frantically. "That scenario will only happen later, when the relationship between the master and mistress reaches a new level..."
"Then why can't we move to the next level now?" The girl tilted her head, her big eyes full of pure confusion.
"Now is not the right time..."
"I don't believe it! My brother and sister are so nice!" The girl puffed out her cheeks. "Listen, you'll definitely hear it tonight!"
Weeping Girl: “…”
It's over. The more I explain, the more wrong it becomes.
Why would we get motivated to fight over something like this?
"Sister Weeping Girl, come here quickly too. If you hear it first, be sure to tell me!"
"good……"
…
Another house.
The aunt who was sleeping in the soul card was a little confused.
What's going on lately.
She was sleeping soundly here, but Gu Jieshuang kept asking her to cool down... Is the weather so hot recently? No way, it's almost the New Year.
Thinking of this, Frost Wings quietly spread out a little of his perception.
After such a long period of recuperation, Frost Wings has basically adapted to this form of existence called Soul Card. Therefore, when not fighting, he can occasionally use Gu Jieshuang's connection to perceive the outside world.
Hmm... The climate seems unfamiliar. This must be another city. Should we be in... a hotel now? The person sitting in front of Jie Shuang must be...
Oh, Yu Cang.
Frostwing was silent for a moment.
Then he decisively withdrew his ability.
Outside, Gu Jieshuang was still lost in thought.
Well... it seems that I don’t need to worry so much. Back then, the boss was able to play Monopoly with me for a whole night on the snowy mountain, so he definitely doesn’t have that kind of idea in his mind now!
But the boss doesn’t have that idea, and other people don’t know... Yun Yan put the information in his room, the meaning is already very clear, when we meet again tomorrow, he won’t misunderstand anything, right?
If something really happened, she could deal with it calmly, but the current situation made her feel a little uncomfortable.
This uncle is so bad!
Thinking of this, Gu Jieshuang pursed his lips, but suddenly felt that the chill that had originally seeped out of his body and helped him to stabilize his mentality suddenly disappeared!
Gu Jieshuang was stunned and quickly asked in her heart: "Grandma, what's wrong?"
"I'm tired." The aunt said, "I need to take a deep sleep. Then I will block out all my senses. Please don't disturb me tonight."
In her impression, humans are a very fertile race... Jie Shuang and Yu Cang have been a couple for such a long time, but they don’t even have a child. It’s shameful.
"Eh? Wait..."
Before Gu Jieshuang could react, the aunt closed the perception channel cleanly and neatly, and no matter how Gu Jieshuang called out, there was no response.
Although the aunt is Gu Jieshuang's soul card, she is her ancestor after all. They are not in battle now. If the aunt is unwilling, Gu Jieshuang would not be embarrassed to force her to do anything.
So, now she felt embarrassed...and she also realized that her aunt had misunderstood her!
Now, her face turned visibly red. She looked around hurriedly, trying to find something to cover it up, but she saw nothing. She had no choice but to quickly use the power of the soul card to force her body temperature and mentality to control again.
"Hmm?" Yu Cang, who was reading the information, raised his head, a little confused, "Jie Shuang, what can you do with your soul all of a sudden?"
"No...it's okay..." Gu Jieshuang didn't know what she was so nervous about.
"Then let's take a look at the information this time." Yu Cang handed the document in his hand to Gu Jieshuang. "This relic is quite interesting... Not only are there mechanical things, but there are also some creations with a style that seems quite incongruous."
"Oh..." Gu Jieshuang lowered his head and looked at the materials.
He found the material after he took a shower, and then it was sent to him without him having the chance to read it.
The periphery of Ruins No. 8 has been explored, and basically all dangers have been eliminated, leaving only a few controllable ones.
For example, some areas have unusual gravity parameters, and there's also a peculiar position where the recovery rate of soul energy becomes very slow. However, this can be used to train soul energy wells.
Such places are called "cultivation areas" and there are many of them in Ruins No. 8. Therefore, many soul card masters are willing to go in and explore. After completing certain projects, they can consolidate their foundation and prepare for a breakthrough to level six.
In addition, there are some strange rock giants in those buildings. These giants usually remain motionless, like totems, but once someone triggers some key mechanism, the giants will immediately stand up and attack the invaders.
The overall style of the ruins is very sci-fi, like a future world, but the colossus is very primitive and retro, making people doubt that it is not from the same place.
Among the classifications of summoned beasts, the Creation Clan and the Mechanical Clan are actually very similar.
Both refer to things created by civilization. However, the mechanical family looks more advanced, while the creation family is mostly stone statues and dolls, which easily give people an association with mysticism.
In the Soul Card, the summoned beasts of the Mechanical Clan need additional soul power to activate their abilities or even move, and the Creator Clan actually has similar characteristics - the summoned beasts of the Creator Clan are unable to move independently, but after meeting certain conditions, they can exert impressive combat effectiveness.
For example, injecting souls, expanding the venue, etc. It was like a little puppet. If it wasn't controlled by the Weeping Girl, then no matter how many orders Yu Cang gave it, it wouldn't be able to move at all.
Before Yu Cang, there was more research on the Creation Clan than on the Mechanical Clan, but not much more.
"Then... what should we do?" Gu Jieshuang could no longer concentrate on reading the text and could only listen to Yu Cang's explanation. "Should we go and experience all those training areas..."
"You can go and try tomorrow." Yu Cang smiled, "I have to try to find clues to open the core area in the Starry Sky Vision... I suspect that Zhong Qi, who was trapped there a month ago, also has a certain connection with the Starry Sky Vision."
Gu Jieshuang frowned slightly and raised her head: "Is there any danger?"
"Theoretically, no."
After all, in the Starry Sky Vision, he is invincible.
"That's good……"
Gu Jieshuang breathed a sigh of relief.
She lowered her head and glanced at the information for a few times, but these sentences that were easy to understand on a normal day did not enter her mind at all.
She tried to look for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong - why was it so quiet?
Gu Jieshuang realized something. She raised her head and saw Yu Cang's eyes fixed on her without blinking.
“…Look at what I’m doing.”
Yu Cang didn't say anything.
Does Gu Jieshuang know how cute she is now?
Her long hair fell on her shoulders, some clumps slid to her chest, and some clumps hid behind her back. She had just taken a shower, and the fresh water vapor was still lingering between her hair. Even without Yu Cang getting close, he could smell the faint fragrance that came and went.
Occasionally, Gu Jieshuang would use her slender fingers to push back the naughty hair on her forehead, revealing a face that was exquisite to the extreme. Her skin was extremely white, with a faint blush that came from nowhere, looming underneath.
Just now, her eyes were meticulously focused on the materials on her thighs, but Yu Cang always felt that beneath Gu Jieshuang's serious gaze, there was a hint of confusion as to what was going on.
Why are you so stupid?
A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Yu Cang's mouth, and at this moment, Gu Jieshuang suddenly looked up, and their eyes met.
The air was silent for a moment.
Yu Cang didn't say anything, the smile on his lips seemed to relax a little, but Gu Jieshuang's eyes were shaking violently.
Behind him, Ye Lai, who was sitting on the windowsill, had been looking out the window, seemingly paying no attention to this place. But at this moment, he flicked his little tail, hooked up the curtains next to him, and pulled them shut, blocking himself out.
Seeing Ye Lai's actions, Gu Jieshuang's eyes suddenly became panicked.
How, how... Did you misunderstand even coming here at night?
Why do people misunderstand so easily?
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but even though neither of them moved, she suddenly felt that the distance between her and Yu Cang had shortened a lot, and she could even faintly sense Yu Cang's breathing.
boss?
Gu Jieshuang pursed her lips slightly.
You wouldn't have misunderstood anything...
Then...then do you want to close your eyes?
Suddenly, she saw Yu Cang's eyes move, and then he stood up gently and walked towards her.
etc!
Gu Jieshuang's heart skipped a beat. She gently shrank her head, her eyelids trembling as they closed. She couldn't tell whether she was feeling anticipation or simply at a loss.
In a trance, she seemed to sense a gust of wind blowing past her. After a few seconds, she realized...it seemed that the boss passed by her.
He...what is he going to do...
Could it be that I misunderstood in the end?
Click.
The sound of the door opening came from behind. Gu Jieshuang suddenly deflated and her body slumped in the chair, but her heartbeat became even faster.
Before she turned around, she heard Qi'er's voice behind her.
"Hey, hey, hey?" The girl sounded a little panicked. "Um, brother, Qi'er didn't eavesdrop!"
"…What are you eavesdropping on?"
“Um, um…”
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Hmm... It was Sister Weeping Girl who said that if a brother and sister are close, they'll make some "hmm" and "ahh" sounds when they're in the same room. I haven't heard any for a long time, so I was worried you two might be having a fight... Brother, are you and Sister having a fight?"
"What and what." Yu Cang was at a loss for words. "No, we were discussing serious matters. How could we make such a noise?"
This child.
How come she has learned to lie down under the door crack at such a young age... It seems that we can't let her stay with the weeping girl all the time, otherwise she will learn bad things sooner or later.
…
!
Gu Jieshuang was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red all of a sudden.
Qi'er was eavesdropping? Ah, how embarrassing! How come I didn't notice there was someone outside the door just now...
It’s all over… How come even Qi’er misunderstood!
The sounds of "hmmmm" and "ahhhh"—that's just...
Ahhh, what did the weeping girl say to Qi'er? Qi'er is still so young!
No, she couldn't stay in this room for even a moment!
Thinking of this, Gu Jieshuang used the fastest speed in her life, turned around, started, sprinted, picked up the chess piece, drifted close to the ground, and got into the next door, all in one go!
With the sound of the door closing, Yu Cang heard Gu Jieshuang's voice beside him: "I'm going back to the house first, boss. See you tomorrow!"
Yu Cang: "..."
He shook his head and smiled.
I hope Jie Shuang has a good dream tonight.
Thinking of this, he turned around and closed the door.
When I turned around, Ye Lai had already opened the curtains again and was still admiring the night view outside the window.
Yu Cang stretched and came to the window.
Suddenly, Ye Lai said out of the blue: "Master of this body, I can occasionally spend a night in the chaos..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Cang who came down from the sky and touched him.
Ye Lai reluctantly poked his head out from Yu Cang's palm: "Master of this body, I am actually quite experienced in taking care of children..."
"Ye Lai, why are you so unruly?"
"I have no such intention..."
"Okay, there are still many things on hand." Yu Cang tapped the windowsill, and suddenly, a soul card unfolded at his hand, and a little man doll popped out of it.
As soon as the weeping girl appeared, she immediately knelt down on the windowsill, trembling with fear: "Master, I didn't lead Master Qi'er astray... Wuwuwu, the weeping girl just let something slip..."
"What else did you say to Qi'er?"
"Nothing else, only those... I explained them away later, and Master Qi'er didn't find anything strange."
Yu Cang sighed, feeling a little amused and helpless.
He stretched out his hand, bent his fingers, and flicked the doll's head hard, causing it to flip several times in the air before falling to the ground.
"Just this once, and never again."
"Yes, master!" The weeping girl deliberately switched to a furry state when she was hit to avoid hurting Yu Cang's fingers.
After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief and happily dived into the soul card.
Yu Cang raised his head and looked out the window.
In his sight, Jieying's huge body was floating above the night sky of the city, with starlight flowing in his body, as if it were another world.
In the real world, Jieying's body will only appear in his own sight and will not be seen by others.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Cang said, "Ye Lai, what do you think the consciousness in the ruins is?"
Ye Lai then withdrew his gaze from the window.
"There is also civilization in the starry sky."
"A traveler from another civilization?"
"Perhaps not."
"Oh? Why?"
"There's a considerable gap between the Star Realm and the numerous small worlds," Ye Lai explained. "Although the Star Realm is vast, it holds far more possibilities than the small worlds. Therefore, the civilizations between the stars are far more developed than those in the small worlds. Generally speaking, no tourists would visit the small worlds."
"Why?"
"Because, it's easy to enter the small world from the star realm, but even for beings in the star realm, it's very difficult to return to the star realm from the small world."
"Oh?" Yu Cang's expression changed. "Because of gravity?"
"Yes." Ye Lai nodded. "Theoretically, if you keep flying towards the sky until you are shoulder to shoulder with the sun, you will see the passage to the astral realm. But that is too difficult. It is almost impossible to do it by one's own strength."
"I see... In other words, what purpose did the consciousness in this ruins have in coming to Blue Planet?"
“As it should be.”
"so."
Yu Cang looked out the window, and after thinking for a moment, a glimmer of starlight appeared in his eyes. His sight rose rapidly and entered the starry sky.
This is an ocean of unfamiliar rhythm. Compared to the ancient capital, Yu Cang feels that this place is more sharp.
He looked in the direction of the ruins.
Nothing much to gain... I can only wait and see tomorrow.
…
the next day.
Yu Cang got up very early.
After having dinner with Gu Jieshuang in the hotel restaurant, Yun Yan arrived at the hotel entrance not long after.
"Friend Yu Cang." Yun Yan handed over some things, "Here are some masks and sunglasses. I thought you might need them."
"Thank you so much! This is exactly what I need!" Yu Cang was very touched.
The scene after being recognized yesterday was so exaggerated and embarrassing, he really didn't want to experience it a second time.
Fame is indeed a double-edged sword.
Yun Yan brought a lot of equipment. Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er were given sunglasses and masks, and even Ye Lai and the little doll had their own pair of special sunglasses.
I have to say, after putting on sunglasses at night, I look so cool and my temperament is instantly improved.
Gu Jieshuang put on her mask and saw from the corner of her eye that Yun Yan looked normal and didn't make any jokes, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, not bad.
As they went out, the familiar security team immediately appeared and escorted Yu Cang to the car, and then the group set off.
After more than an hour's drive, the convoy drove from the downtown area into a sparsely populated mountain forest and finally stopped in front of a valley.
Yu Cang got out of the car and looked into the valley.
"Scholar!" Jieying's voice reached his heart, "I sense that this relic contains the rhythm I need!"
"Really?" Yu Cang nodded. "I see there are quite a few people in the ruins now. The sight of the Destiny Star should also be spreading. You should be able to go in and absorb the rhythm by yourself, right?"
According to Jieying, this should be the case.
However, Jieying hesitated.
He seemed to sense it for a long time before he said, "No... Mr. Scholar, there is a force here that is preventing me... No, it is preventing all the sentient beasts and sentient insects from approaching."
"Oh?" Yu Cang raised his brows, "Can it be cracked by force?"
"No," Jieying said, "I only sensed a part of it. If I try to force it, there will definitely be a trap waiting for me! I've seen this kind of thing in other worlds. Those people have very dark hearts and are really willing to kill... If there weren't any scholars guarding that place last time, I might have died there!"
"Is that so... I understand." Yu Cang seemed to be thinking about something.
Is it possible to open up a new realm within the Starry Sky Vision?
It sounded somewhat similar to the Ice City he had built, but it relied on some of the power of the World Shadow and had to be repaired periodically, otherwise it would surely collapse. It simply couldn't last for ten thousand years.
After all, the rhythm of the Ice City has no counterpart in the real world. It exists out of thin air in the Starry Sky Vision and cannot exist for a long time.
But here... from his perception, there was nothing unusual in this world.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes, rose rapidly, and entered the starry sky field of vision.
"Hmm? That is..." Yu Cang's eyes narrowed.
Looking towards the valley, I felt a sense of unreality, as if it was blocked by some fog.
Normally it’s not so troublesome in the Starry Sky Vision. You can see whatever you want. But now, everything is blurred.
Is this the power that Jieying mentioned that prevented him from getting closer?
Yu Cang stared for a moment and then looked away.
Faintly, he also sensed something strange ahead. He couldn't tell what it was, but it seemed there was no danger.
It's obscured by fog and can't be seen clearly, so let's get closer and take a look.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang returned to the real world.
