"...What's going on?" Xu Shiqing rubbed his temples in distress.
If that's the case, he really needs to fight for it.
After all, personal grudges are important, but Gu Yi and the others are no longer the same as before. Their every move involves the lives of many people, so they need to be more cautious.
But is his influence really enough to change Gu Yi's decision?
Xu Shiqing wasn't sure, but he decided to give it a try.
[By the way, have you read the comics?] System 021 asked [The extra chapter is coming out]
"I won't watch it." He angrily replied, "If you want to watch it, go watch it. Also, throw the barrage farther away!"
021's expected reply: "Okay, this cemetery is now blocked, and Gu Yi is on his way—oh, he's already here."
Of course Xu Shiqing could sense the extra presence nearby, but he was surprised that Gu Yi was completely unaware of his approach.
System 021 opened the comic. On the black and white screen, the protagonist's handsome face occupied half, and the other half was lines that set the atmosphere, vividly depicting the man's disbelief.
"After 3650 days, 34-year-old Gu Yi saw the star again—
Xu Shiqing, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, had his back to him and turned around as if he had noticed something.
Just like before, like a dream."
The visual experience of Bai Yueguang's appearance. The system sighed.
"...Brother Gu?" Xu Shiqing jumped off the tombstone, his eyes filled with surprise. "How did you age so much?"
Even if it's been ten years, Gu Yi, your temperament has aged too much, hasn't it? Where's that protagonist with a simple temperament and clear eyes?!
“…”
"Why aren't you talking?" Xu Shiqing frowned at his silence. He didn't have the ability to read minds, and couldn't understand the expressions on Gu Yi's face, which had been tempered for ten years. When he spoke, the other party didn't respond, so he was naturally uneasy. "Where are we? Aren't we in E City?"
How to say it, he really couldn't admit the fact that he had died... Even if he could explain the reason and they could understand his unexpectedness, there was no doubt that Xu Shiqing would definitely be beaten up, definitely!
E City was the last city where he met them before he went to hunt down Jia Ming. At that time, they worked together in a base, and because of the mission, they often acted separately.
Thinking of this, he naturally walked closer and said casually, "Where are Sister Dandan and the others? Why don't I see them..."
A scorching breath suddenly attacked without warning. Xu Shiqing subconsciously raised his hand to summon a cloud of ice mist to block it, and his body retreated to its original position in an instant: "What are you doing?!"
A few ice blades were swung over, and large patches of ice crystals instantly spread out wherever they passed. The coldness and danger enveloped everyone - after all, ice can be created wherever there is water.
Water was burning around Gu Yi, and scarlet flames visible to the naked eye were dancing, wrapping him like armor.
Hearing this, he finally smiled, and his supernatural power was retracted into his body in an instant.
"Shi Qing, you're back."
"...I don't understand." Xu Shiqing hesitated, beginning to doubt whether he was the person who knew the truth best. After all, the direction of events was very confusing. Gu Yi's behavior was nothing more than doubting his authenticity, but his attitude and tone made Xu Shiqing very confused.
"But my identity should be fine, right?"
Gu Yi approached him and naturally held his shoulders. His eyes lingered for a second on the bunch of daisies in his arms. He said, "Well, no one else can use this level of ice power except you."
What's more, based on his subconscious fighting style and some instinctive details, Gu Yi could be fully certain that the person in front of him was Xu Shiqing, his lost and regained...partner.
"...Ahem, it's not that serious." Xu Shiqing touched his nose awkwardly, his ears turning red. He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what's going on with you now? Where are Sister Dandan and the others? Where is this place? Why am I here the moment I open my eyes?"
He almost blurted out why he was in the coffin, but fortunately he braked in time. He looked at the grave he had dug up tactfully. He felt a little depressed when he thought that he was dead and Jiaming was still alive.
This is actually no different from him losing to the opponent.
Gu Yi did not miss his micro-expression. It would be better to say that to the 34-year-old leader of the Changqing Base, the 16-year-old Xu Shiqing was immature and simple, and that hand's concealment technique was no different from non-existence.
Chief Gu, whose tactics and rhetoric had improved considerably, evaded the main point by saying, "Sister Dandan and the others have been sent on a mission. This is the base's cemetery."
"Why don't we go home first and have a long talk?" He showed a little expectant expression. He hadn't done this for so long that he didn't even know if it would look a little unnatural.
"Oh, oh, okay." Xu Shiqing nodded subconsciously. The other party's familiar expression made him feel relaxed to a great extent. "Then I'll leave this place to you...?"
He looked at the people around him who were obviously Gu Yi's superiors and subordinates, then looked at the site he had destroyed. Feeling a little guilty, he searched his pockets and took out a handful of high-level crystal cores from the system space and handed them over: "This should be enough, right?"
He was only thinking about not destroying the base, so he stayed in the cemetery and did not act rashly. After all, he was strong enough and would not be unable to leave no matter what. Besides, he could get some information by staying, so why not?
But if this base was related to Gu Yi and the others, that was another matter. He had destroyed other people's cemeteries, and no matter what, it was not a good thing. Xu Shiqing didn't want Gu Yi and the others to be blamed for this.
"Let's follow the procedure." Gu Yi did not stop him. He gestured to the person standing next to him to take Xu Shiqing's crystal core, and then took the person and walked towards the door.
System 021 took a picture of their backs and put it into the host's photo album.
