I had just said goodbye, but now I couldn't leave.
The person who went to open the door was Xu Zhi, who was closer.
When the door was opened, the owner of the strange voice appeared outside. She was a girl who looked very young, probably less than twenty years old.
Judging from her appearance alone, Xu Zhi even felt that she was younger than himself.
But extraordinary people never judge people by their appearance.
Yes, after just one meeting, Xu Zhi immediately understood that the person in front of him was a transcendent, not a believer.
Although she felt that the other person seemed to have a similar aura, she was the archbishop. This aura could deceive other believers, but it could never deceive her. In her vision, there was no such "subordinate" as the other person.
As for being an archbishop, it would be even more impossible to hide it from her.
So, this person was probably the extraordinary person who had sneaked into Liancheng and whom she had just wanted to look for.
What is this?
It comes without any effort?
She hadn't even left the house when the other party came to her door.
Xu Zhi looked calm, but her heart was already extremely alert. She asked with a puzzled look, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The girl in front of him looked like a young girl, but in fact, she was already unknown how old she was. She replied playfully and cutely, "I think I came to see you."
Others may be misled by the information and mistakenly believe that there is no archbishop in Lotus City, but the agent will not.
What's more, her friend was the [Light], who had given her hints before she set out.
"Please ask someone to come in and talk."
Qi Yanxin took out a new teacup from the back and said calmly while looking at the two people who were in a stalemate at the door.
Xu Zhi felt helpless when he heard this. He really wanted to ask her what she was thinking and how she could let a dangerous person into her house. However, when he thought of Qi Yanxin's recent mentality of lying down and waiting to die and his current status, he could only suppress his feelings.
She turned her head slightly and saw Qi Yanxin looking at her and the extraordinary person with a calm face. The extraordinary person at the door seemed to sense her hesitation and said in a friendly tone: "I'm not here to cause trouble."
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, not believing it.
But she is no longer the same person she used to be. It is impossible for her to suddenly attack the other person because of a disagreement. Of course, the main reason is that the time and environment are not right.
If a fight breaks out here, it will be difficult for her to guarantee that she can control Qi Yanxin.
So she could only move aside and say, "Okay, come in and talk."
In short, first see what the other party plans to do.
When the extraordinary person walked into the room, there was unrestrained curiosity and scrutiny in his eyes, especially when he looked at Qi Yanxin, this curiosity and scrutiny was even stronger.
But as she said, she really didn't seem to be here to cause trouble. She even walked to the sofa and sat down quite "obediently", and drank a sip of the water that Qi Yanxin poured for her.
This action made Xu Zhi more certain that she was the agent.
After all, anyone who is not confident in his own ability would not dare to take such a casual action.
But her seemingly "harmless" gaze was actually a very dangerous act.
Xu Zhi closed the door and went back into the house. Qi Yanxin didn't ask her why she didn't leave, but just calmly poured her a glass of water, which obviously surprised this extraordinary person.
She carefully observed Qi Yanxin and Xu Zhi's every move. Xu Zhi was too lazy to engage in any psychological games and asked directly, "What do you want to do here?"
This agent probably restrained her aura and made herself look like an ordinary believer. Although Xu Zhi didn't know how she did it, she must have had her purpose in entering Liancheng.
Xu Zhi didn't want to work for [Cup]. If the agent was more sensible, she could do him a favor. Of course, she had to have a reasonable excuse.
Of course, the most important thing is
If she were alone, this spirit body might not be able to defeat an agent in good condition.
Although he is the Archbishop, the Archbishop and his agents do not face off one-on-one. Most of the time, the Archbishop's ability is slightly inferior to those of the agents. However, the Archbishop has a very close connection with the [Cup]. At critical moments, receiving the blessing of the [Cup] may produce some amazing changes.
And there is also the Pope in the [Cup], and the Pope is a very dangerous existence for the agent.
Under such circumstances, she really didn't want to fight the agent one-on-one.
It's such a loss, no matter how you look at it.
The extraordinary person seemed a little surprised by Xu Zhi's straightforward statement.
"Is this your style of speaking now?"
There was something strange about her tone.
Xu Zhi frowned: "I don't know what you are talking about, but I think the you guys you are talking about are those old guys who died a long time ago."
The agent's eyes became subtle. Why did she feel that these words seemed to imply something about her?
A mindless romance drama was still playing on TV. Qi Yanxin was watching it quite intently, not showing any interest in the conversation between the two people beside him.
Sometimes Xu Zhi really didn’t understand why Qi Yanxin liked to watch this stuff.
The agent wasn't angry at being implied. He still looked lively and cute and said, "I just came in to take a look. I don't plan to do anything for now. Don't be so nervous or hostile. You don't look like you want to fight with me here, do you?"
Xu Zhi didn't look like he was afraid. At this moment, he directly disagreed: "I'm not nervous, I just think it's too troublesome."
It was really too troublesome. It disrupted her plan to give up and forced her to stand up temporarily to solve the problem.
"And how did you find yourself here?"
Xu Zhi was a little confused.
The two knew each other's identities, but they did not expose each other. Instead, they told each other riddles.
The girl smiled and replied, "I was given guidance by an expert."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Zhi with a strange look: "But you are completely different from what I imagined. I thought we had to fight first before we could have a good talk."
In the past, Xu Zhi had always said such things, so it was really new to her. This was the first time she had stood on the other side's side.
"However, it would be best if we could talk it over directly."
She seemed to have thought of something and said with emotion: "The last time I sat down with you and had a calm conversation was a long time ago."
The "you" in this sentence obviously refers to the entire [Cup], and this sentence also reveals that the [Cup] once seemed to live in peace with other attributes.
"Could you tell me your name first?"
For the person who signs the name, knowing the other person's "name" is a very important thing.
When this agent, who looked young but actually had lived for who knows how many years, was lamenting the past, Xu Zhi's thoughts were already a little vague.
The other party was asking about her "name", which revealed many problems. For example, the other party seemed to be unaware of the titles of the archbishops of their generation, otherwise he would have judged her as [Lazy] through observation.
On this point, Xu Zhi did not hide it much.
At the same time, she was thinking, if necessary, how confident was she in keeping the other party in Liancheng?
What is the approximate cost?
Even though she and the girl seemed to be talking peacefully at the moment, and the other party could even talk about a little bit of the past with a look of suspicion on her face, a tense atmosphere had already filled the air around them since they met. Whether it was words, actions or expressions, they were all full of temptation and distrust. If either party showed the slightest sign of abnormality, the scene would no longer be so harmonious.
The other party must also be highly wary of her.
Is there any way to get rid of this agent without endangering the spiritual body and Qi Yanxin's life?
".Are you daydreaming?"
The girl noticed Xu Zhi's absent-mindedness and spoke in a tone of disbelief.
Xu Zhi uttered an "ah" and seemed a little apologetic. "I was thinking about something and didn't hear what you just said. Could you please repeat it?"
In fact, she heard it and was also wary of the other party, but she looked like she was in a daze. Xu Zhi was too lazy to explain. It would be difficult to say something like "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about how to kill you", right?
The agent was silent for a moment, taking Xu Zhi's words as a polite refusal to ask for his name.
The more powerful the extraordinary being, the more mysterious their true name becomes. This is especially true for the archbishops of the [Cup]. Unless they tell it in person, it is difficult for others to know their names through extraordinary means.
But even archbishops cannot avoid the rule of naming, so they always start to announce their names early on, but the archbishops of this generation are unexpectedly low-key.
Although this is also related to the fact that they have just appeared, when have these guys not shouted their names loudly as soon as they appeared and tried to let the whole world know?
This doubt is also one of the purposes she needs to explore.
"Can you tell me your purpose in making Liancheng like this? I came here to find out."
Realizing that her attempt to draw Xu Zhi into her conversation was completely ineffective, she simply asked what she really wanted to ask, which also answered Xu Zhi's previous question.
“This one.”
Xu Zhi's face showed some embarrassment: "You may not believe it when I tell you. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know either."
The other person had a look of astonishment on his face, and it looked like he didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.
Xu Zhi felt that it was understandable. If she were in the other person's shoes and heard such nonsense, she would definitely not believe it.
But she was one of the rare people who told the 100% truth.
"It's hard to continue the conversation when you say you don't know after the first question."
The girl's words seemed helpless, and upon closer inspection, they revealed a bit of gunpowder, like a threat and a joke.
This is not surprising. After all, Xu Zhi thought from the beginning that "just chatting" was complete nonsense.
From the first moment they met, or rather, when there was a knock on the door, or even earlier, when he noticed someone invading Liancheng, Xu Zhi realized that a battle might follow.
In her opinion, this was nothing more than pre-war feints and mutual testing. Xu Zhi was willing to patiently chat with her only because he didn't want to fight here, and she did have a lot of things she wanted to know from him.
However, whether the other party is willing to tell is another matter.
Xu Zhi was thinking, how can he make this agent willingly tell everything he knows?
Thinking of this, she felt it was a pity. If the real body was here, this matter would become much simpler.
But there is a solution to the spiritual body.
After thinking for a moment, she replied, "I'm not lying. Didn't you see it when you came? I don't even care about what's going on in this city."
Xu Zhi had already thought of a plan in her mind. She was about 60% sure that she could keep this agent in Liancheng. She had also decided that if the conversation turned out to be unhappy, she would consider luring the person away and having a fight directly.
It's so troublesome to be in this situation where everyone is scheming and testing each other!
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, the expression of the agent opposite him became more thoughtful.
Even though she went straight to look for the "Archbishop" after entering Lotus City, she did not fail to take the situation in Lotus City into consideration. Combined with the previous intelligence, it was enough to conclude that there was no absolute power in Lotus City to preside over the overall situation, but rather a model of allowing believers to grow freely.
Thinking of this, the agent became even more puzzled. From his behavior to his words and deeds, she really couldn't figure out what this new archbishop was planning.
But do you believe that the other person is telling the truth?
This is difficult.
Distrust of the [Cup] has long been deeply engraved in their hearts, but they, the agents, do not hate the [Cup] as much as other ordinary people.
It's more like looking at a rather difficult opponent.
"So what do you know?" she asked in a different way.
Xu Zhi looked at her but didn't answer. Instead, he changed the subject: "I don't like being questioned unilaterally. How about we change the way we ask it? You answer what I want to know, and then I'll tell you what I know. How about that?"
The agent had no objection and nodded, "Okay."
Anyway, she has the right to decide what to say or not to say.
After Xu Zhi proposed this method and the other party answered "yes", the extraordinary energy around the air seemed to be affected by something and became slightly active for a moment.
Here, the extraordinary energy is "recording" every word and action of the powerful extraordinary people.
It is no exaggeration to say that after reaching the level of agents, even a casual word may have a certain energy. Therefore, they almost never lie or speak nonsense.
"Then, the first question I want to know is, how did you kill my Lord in the first place, and how did you know for sure that He was dead?"
Xu Zhi was asking the question even though he knew the answer, but the question he asked was indeed the answer he had been looking for.
The two men spoke without telling Qi Yanxin, and Qi Yanxin also heard the question, but she did not react at all to the topic that should have made ordinary believers extremely excited or even disgusted.
This matter is a secret to others, but the two parties in the conversation are an agent and the archbishop, and both parties can be considered "parties involved" in a sense, so there is nothing that cannot be said.
"I almost thought you didn't care about these things at all. It seems that you are still a believer."
The agent first sighed like this.
She completely mistakenly thought that Xu Zhi was concerned about her "master".
Xu Zhi felt that she had too many emotions. Perhaps it was because she was getting older?
I hope that when she reaches the age of a thousand, she won't have this problem.
Then, to Xu Zhi's expectation, the other party gave the answer she had always given.
"How can it be so easy to kill a god?"
"The first thing we do is seal Him."
