Chapter 385 404. Strange Qi Yanxin
In her current state, she couldn't just go up to Qi Yanxin and ask her why she didn't leave. Fortunately, even if she wanted to, Qi Yanxin would definitely not be able to find her. So Xu Zhi controlled her spiritual body to bypass Qi Yanxin's location and patrolled the dormitory. After not finding any new blood food, she discovered that Qi Yanxin hadn't even packed her luggage, which meant that regardless of whether the school notified her to evacuate or not, she had no intention of leaving.
And there was no sign of panic in the house, which meant that Qi Yanxin should have been quite calm when the incident happened. And now she can still water the plants she planted, which also shows that even though she has become a believer of the [Cup], her mentality is still very stable.
Xu Zhi's emotions were unusually complicated. If Guangmingyuan had not given up on her, there would be a possibility that she would come back alive from her lost place. In fact, this possibility was too small.
Her talent lies here, and supporting an ordinary person like Qi Yanxin is a trivial matter for Guangmingyuan, and it is impossible for the huge transmission circuit on the top floor to not be able to carry Qi Yanxin.
As long as Guangmingyuan does not receive the news that she is completely dead, it is impossible for it to give up Qi Yanxin.
There is a high probability that Qi Yanxin wanted to stay.
Xu Zhi felt a little helpless because she could vaguely guess why Qi Yanxin stayed.
Maybe she didn't want to be a burden to her anymore, or maybe she felt that she was originally a low-class person in Liancheng. If Xu Zhi hadn't appeared, she would have died long ago. Moreover, Qi Yanxin herself knew that it was impossible for her to find out who killed her sister by her own strength, and she would not ask Xu Zhi for help.
Her sister's body was nowhere to be found, and now she could only be a burden to Xu Zhi. If she left with the people from the academy, she would not only be sorry for her dead sister, but also cause trouble for the living Xu Zhi. With this thought in mind, she decided to stay.
Xu Zhi could see that long before she appeared, Qi Yanxin probably had no desire to survive and was just living numbly. It was only after she appeared that Qi Yanxin's world had a spiritual pillar and he regained his spirits.
Xu Zhi didn't care, as it wouldn't be a big deal to have another Qi Yanxin to support. But she did ignore the other person's feelings and only thought about supporting her. As for Qi Yanxin's emotions, she didn't pay attention, but now thinking about it, it was actually very obvious. She always behaved very restrained, except for being clingy occasionally and rarely revealing some sad emotions. Most of the time, she was very considerate, so considerate that she seemed to have no self at all, and revolved around Xu Zhi completely.
But how can a person not have his own emotions?
This accident in Liancheng made Qi Yanxin decide not to selfishly drag Xu Zhi along and become a burden and an encumbrance. He also didn't want to leave Liancheng with a guilty heart, so it would be better for him to stay here and accompany his dead sister.
Xu Zhi felt that this woman was sometimes really stubborn. If there was someone she could use, why not use him or her and live well? Even if it was a burden, even if it was because of her own selfish desire to stay with this person, wouldn't it be fine to do so? What's more, you saved this person's life, so wouldn't that be more aboveboard?
Why should we consider what this person is thinking and whether it will cause him any trouble or trouble?
But she also understood that Qi Yanxin was the kind of person who would risk his life on a rainy night to save her, a person whose origins were unknown and whose life or death was unknown.
Now that she made this decision, Xu Zhi didn't feel surprised at all.
Xu Zhi suddenly wanted to sigh. She remembered that Qi Yanxin was hesitant to speak when she was about to leave. What did she want to say at that time?
Do you want to ask her, "Am I a burden to you?"
But Xu Zhi herself knew that her attitude towards Qi Yanxin, at least on the surface, was definitely not very close, so Qi Yanxin couldn't ask and just hesitated to speak.
But Qi Yanxin didn't know that compared to everyone Xu Zhi knew, she was already the closest living person to Xu Zhi.
"This idiot."
Xu Zhi was a little at a loss. She was a little angry that Qi Yanxin made such a stupid decision without asking her, but she also felt that it was indeed her character that would make her do that. However, she really couldn't understand it, and now, she had no way to scold the other party for being too outrageous.
Because she didn't know, is Qi Yanxin, who has become a believer, still Qi Yanxin?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhi, who had originally planned to go back to the bottom floor to find a place for his spiritual body to stay, changed his mind.
She left the room quietly, then went to the front door and knocked gently.
Soon, Qi Yanxin's alert face appeared on the screen at the door, and she asked, "Who are you?"
Xu Zhi thought for a moment and deliberately replied, "I'm Xu Zhi's friend. She asked me to look after you before she left. I came to see if there's anything I can do to help you."
She wanted to see whether Qi Yanxin still treated her the same way as before, or whether after becoming a believer, he no longer had the emotions he had as a human. If so, she could leave without any regrets.
Hearing this, a complicated expression appeared on Qi Yanxin's originally vigilant face, as if he was happy but also felt guilty.
She said, "You go back, I don't need to take care of you."
Hearing this answer, Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that Qi Yanxin's emotions did not disappear because he became a believer.
She shook her head: "No, I have to do what I promised. Besides, I have already received the payment, and I will not return it."
Hearing that the reward would not be returned, Qi Yanxin obviously hesitated. Xu Zhi knew her too well and knew that she was probably feeling sorry for the money for him.
"Do you have anything to prove?" Fortunately, she did not open the door directly, but sought evidence.
As for evidence? Xu Zhi thought about it and told a few things that only he and Qi Yanxin knew.
"This is what she told me. She said that if you listen to it, you will know that I didn't lie to you."
However, Qi Yanxin didn't open the door immediately after hearing this: "Superhumans can sometimes learn things through special channels. How do I know you didn't do that?"
Since it concerns Xu Zhi, she naturally has to be more cautious.
This attitude made Xu Zhi helpless. She pursed her lips and said, "I also know that Xu Zhi is picky about food."
She listed the foods she disliked, then said, "If we're not friends, you can't know all this, right? Even if my supernatural powers allow me to see things, I can't tell what she eats for three meals a day, right? Besides, she rarely eats, and only eats what you cook. She never eats outside."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yanxin's expression obviously eased, and soon, the door was opened: "Come in."
His attitude became a little gentler, but not warm. It was obviously his other half, but the treatment he received was completely different from his original self!
After entering the door, Xu Zhi kept observing Qi Yanxin. She seemed to have completely retained the habits of her human days. After she sat down, she first asked her whether she wanted tea, juice or plain water, then took out some fruit and asked her if she wanted to watch TV.
There is no problem with the network communication in Liancheng for the time being, and the underground circuit has no effect on communication at all. This is natural. Once the ritual circuit is activated, only believers are left in the entire city. Naturally, there is no need to worry about anyone leaking any information. Maintaining communication can also obtain news from the outside world in a timely manner and negotiate with the outside world.
Of course, these were originally things that should have been planned and coordinated by the Archbishop Xu Zhi, but she just hid away and acted like a hands-off boss.
The spiritual body also has a communication bracelet, which she got for free from other believers, but for now she chose to watch TV. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be news reporting the incident in Liancheng in the first time.
Sure enough, the first channel he opened was the one Qi Yanxin usually watched, a channel dedicated to creating entertainment stars. At this moment, even this kind of channel had inserted an urgent news, which was about the events in Liancheng.
"The outside world responded very quickly. By the way, do you want to eat? Do you want me to catch some prey for you?"
This prey naturally refers to other low-level believers. There are no ordinary people in this city, and low-level believers cannot completely abandon their mortal desires, such as appetite. When the believers are hungry, they can only eat their own people.
Qi Yanxin was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, and seemed to react to the meaning of her words. After reacting, he shook his head repeatedly: "No, there is food at home. I bought a lot of food before."
"We don't eat those now." Xu Zhi seemed to have a deep meaning, but Qi Yanxin didn't respond to his words.
Xu Zhi seemed to be lost in thought. It seemed that Qi Yanxin hadn't changed in either his state or cognition.
This is a bit strange, because even she would inevitably be affected by the [Cup], but Qi Yanxin seemed unchanged.
After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Do you know when Xu Zhi will be back? She still hasn't paid me the balance."
"Maybe she won't come back."
Xu Zhi didn't expect Qi Yanxin to answer like this. She raised her head and looked at Qi Yanxin from under her hood in surprise: "Not coming back?"
Qi Yanxin shook her head: "I don't know, but with the current situation in Liancheng, why would she come back? It's too dangerous."
She actually said from the perspective of a believer that it was too dangerous for Xu Zhi to return to Liancheng?
"But aren't you here? She asked me to take care of you. She can't just leave you alone, right?"
Hearing this, Qi Yanxin smiled at first, seeming a little happy, and then said in a forced and carefree tone: "I'm not that important."
Xu Zhi was inexplicably angry after hearing this, but she couldn't refute it because what Qi Yanxin said was true. She was indeed not that important. If it weren't for the spiritual body here, Xu Zhi would not have taken the risk to come here.
Xu Zhi, whose heart was touched, stopped trying to probe. Instead, Qi Yanxin watched TV for a while and asked her, "Do you live nearby?"
Xu Zhi shook his head: "No, I don't have a place to live here. I came here specifically. Xu Zhi said that if there is something, I can stay here."
"So it sounds like you and Xiaozhi have a good relationship?"
Qi Yanxin's tone was gentle, but Xu Zhi felt a chill on his back.
"No, not really. It's just that she knows I keep my promises. Our relationship is just average. We're just online friends, you know? We're just communicating online, not in real life."
This spirit body has never met the original body, so it’s not a lie to say this, right?
"I see. Then you can stay here. I'll clean the guest room. By the way, what should I call you?"
The chill disappeared, and Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief quietly, although she didn't know why she breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, she chose to stay not only to take care of Qi Yanxin a little, but more importantly, she was really curious why Qi Yanxin seemed unchanged?
She even still leans towards Xu Zhi, who is a transcendent person.
This shouldn't happen.
Even the closest relatives, after becoming believers, will no longer feel the original family affection, and will only have a sense of belonging to the [Cup].
Qi Yanxin is very strange and abnormal.
Xu Zhi pondered in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "My last name is Xu, and my name is Xu Ling."
Qi Yanxin was a little surprised: "You and Xiaozhi have the same surname?"
"Yes, it's fate that's why we met." Xu Zhi said deliberately.
"Yes, it's fate."
Qi Yanxin also nodded as if agreeing with this.
The TV was still broadcasting news about the Lotus City incident. The outside world took the incident very seriously. According to the news, several super cities had already joined other cities to hold a joint meeting, and the media believed that the Lotus City incident might involve the [Pope], otherwise other believers would not have made such a big fuss.
They seemed unaware that the god of the Cup had never died, nor that the massive ritual of Lotus City had been constructed nearly a thousand years ago.
This is a conspiracy spanning thousands of years, and the purpose must be huge. Xu Zhi only needs to wait quietly for the conspiracy to surface and continue to strengthen his own strength.
It seems that I can't leave the Lost Land, and I even have to go further in. My current strength at the initial stage is not enough to deal with the changes that have occurred.
The changes in Liancheng were so sudden that they disrupted her plans and forced her to give up her plan of leaving the Lost Land first and then making plans.
"The plan needs to change."
Originally, she had not planned to promote the little alien to the rank of archbishop, nor did she plan to face Midnight too early. Now, it seemed that she had to resolve the crisis as soon as possible and obtain energy faster. She had not forgotten the dense rules that stung her eyes and soul that she had seen in Midnight. Perhaps, she was not completely helpless in dealing with Midnight.
"First, upgrade all the followers, including the small alien species."
While Xu Zhi was thinking, the urgent news that had already ended suddenly appeared again.
The content of this news shocked Xu Zhi, but she also felt it was within her expectations. However, she did not expect it to happen at this critical juncture.
[According to our reporter, the Winter Attribute Agent has been confirmed dead!]
The agent who had to leave Lost Land and go to Liberty City because of the league died.
But the news happened to come out today, at this time.
Xu Zhi definitely wouldn't believe that there was no trace of the "cup" here.
Then, the reporter on the news continued, "Other cities have jointly sent a request for intervention to the agents still in the Lost Lands."
Normally, [Agents] do not often intervene in the various things in this world, but when something big happens, people can ask [Agents] for help, which is an [Intervention Request], asking the agents to take action.
"I see."
At this critical juncture, with the death of [Dong], the other [Agents] couldn't possibly be unaware of it and would certainly be more vigilant. However, it would not be good if the [Agents] were still hiding in the Lost Land after such a major event happened in Liancheng.
