...
At 5 o'clock, at the largest tree tower hotel in Senhai.
Qi Hua, Tu Lan, and B80, arranged in a row from largest to smallest, sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Zai Jiu Xun Ge lying on the bed.
The latter's golden rain curtain condensed into a ball of lightning, which was contained in a small cage woven from flower branches, and was currently being held by Tulan.
After learning from Tu Lan where Zai Jiu Xun Ge had put the gashapon machine, Qi Hua pried open Zai Jiu Xun Ge's mouth and picked out the gashapon machine: "She's really something!"
Tu Lan: "Indeed."
B80: "Excellent".
As the maker of the gashapon machine, Qi Hua naturally had the ability to dismantle it; she and the drummer both left hidden doors in the gashapon machine.
Qi Hua was relieved after confirming that all of Zai Jiu Xun Ge's equipment, including the Order Badge, was in the gashapon machine. Her abilities were currently restricted, and if she were to wear that Perfect Wonder called "The Lonely Teletubby" again, she might not be able to find Zai Jiu Xun Ge.
Only then did she have the mind to pay attention to Tulan and B80. She looked expressionlessly at the dim-witted dragon and the short-circuited little robot and asked, "You could tell that I was mocking her just now, right?"
Tu Lan shook her head, leaving an afterimage, and added with an innocent look in her eyes: "I can't tell."
The B80's Rubik's Cube head started scrambling, saying, "I can't figure it out."
Qi Hua said helplessly, "No wonder she likes you two. Your worship and affection for her is simply without any principles or bottom line."
Tu Lan raised a dragon finger and shook it, retorting as if to argue: "It's not that we have no principles. If she were mediocre, then her liking for us would be insignificant, and we wouldn't worship her without any bottom line."
Qi Hua's assessment of this was: "So realistic."
"I'm just stating the objective facts!" Tulan complained, then asked B80 in confusion, "Why does it always sound so nice when she tells the truth, but it's so infuriating when I tell the truth?"
B80: "Perhaps there's a problem with the way you organize your thoughts?"
Tulan pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "Possibly. If she were questioned for idolizing someone without any principles, she might say, 'I am not without principles or bottom lines; I simply choose to temporarily close my eyes when facing truly outstanding and powerful individuals.'"
After staring at each other silently for a while, the dragon and the robot burst into exaggerated laughter.
Even Qi Hua, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. What to do? This was exactly the kind of thing Zai Jiu Xun Ge would say. She could imagine the serious expression on Zai Jiu Xun Ge's face when he said this to coax people.
Seeing that Qi Hua seemed to be in a good mood, Tu Lan asked curiously, "So you really will protect her until the end of this game? Is there some kind of conspiracy?"
Having carefully put away the Order Badge, half of the most important task was already completed. Qi Hua leaned back in the recliner by the bed and casually said, "Even if there's a conspiracy, what can you do about it?"
It seemed there was nothing that could be done, and Tulan fell silent in low spirits.
With 10 minutes left until 6 o'clock, the person in bed suddenly sat up.
Tulan and B80 disappeared from the room instantly, clearly returning to their pet space.
Qi Hua toyed with a flower-shaped arrow between her fingertips, staring at Zai Jiu Xun Ge, who was bound by the flower branch: "Awake?"
Those emotionless black eyes swept over Qi Hua, but didn't respond to her words. The most important thing now was that it was almost 6 o'clock.
The next second, the flower branch suddenly tightened, but it was too late. A mantis orchid burst out, freed from the branch's restraints, and returned to its original form, standing in the corner of the wall, beginning to search for the Order Badge on its body.
No! Those dark eyes fell on Qi Hua again.
Thousands of petals of the "Flower Crown Murder" rushed towards Zaijiu Xunge. The sea of flowers transformed into a flower sword, which was grasped by a pale but powerful hand. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Qihua. The tip of the sword swept across Qihua, who was sitting by the bed, but only cut out a rain of flowers.
A flower branch attacked from behind, entwining the eyes of the woman who was drinking and singing. Before she could resist, a dreamlike voice rang in her ear:
"In the main quest of the Gods' Game, your current teammate is Xinghai Qihua. She will be your only ally in this game. Trust her unconditionally and follow her until the 'Tranquil Mountains' game ends."
The flower petals faded, and her black eyes, which had been like dark, deep wells, had turned into glowing red pupils. She lowered her eyes and looked at Fuzhi, who was a little shorter than her.
The flower sword in her hand scattered, then reformed into a flower branch that wrapped around her wrist and slowly climbed upwards. She recited in a flat tone, "Starry Sea Deceives Flowers."
