The next day dawned.
After a busy night, Old Wei came back and spent some time with his wife. Just as he was about to go to sleep, he was woken up by Qi Mi, who had come back from his shift to rest.
"Auntie, I'm really tired after a night of this. Can you please wait until I wake up to talk to me?" Old Wei asked with sleepy eyes and clasped his hands together, begging to be let go.
Qi Mi's face darkened. "I've been waiting for you all night. How can you sleep when a life-threatening matter is at stake?"
"Huh?" Old Wei's expression changed instantly upon hearing the urgency of the situation. "What's this matter of life and death?"
"Song Chun has been taken away for three hours. If the destroyer can crack the weakness of his armor, the base will have no chance of winning." Qi Mi leaned against the wall with his hands folded. "The enemy is about to reach our doorstep, and you still have the chance to sleep?"
At the mention of Song Chun, Old Wei's heart sank. After all, he'd been calling him "Big Brother" for so long, so it was impossible not to worry. He rubbed his face with his hands, forcing himself to wake up a bit, and asked hurriedly, "So, what are your plans? Are you going to save them?"
Qi Mi shook his head. "It's too late. Once the other party knows this trump card, they'll definitely find a way to counter it. The gap in strength between us is too great, and our organization is too passive. There's basically no chance of victory."
Lao Wei understood what she meant: "Are you going to take the initiative to attack?"
Qi Mi curled the corners of his lips slightly, and the smile on his face already revealed the answer.
Lao Wei: "Then what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to change sides and go over there."
"?"
Old Wei's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand what she meant. After two seconds of silence, he asked again in disbelief, "What do you mean?"
Qi Mi had anticipated his reaction and chuckled twice, "You heard me right, I'm going over there. I can't win if I stay here."
"Are you crazy?!" Old Wei sat up in bed in shock. "Why are you leaving the normal human camp here and going to the enemy? No, you've always been a firm believer, so why are you helping those monsters fight the humans?"
Qi Mi covered her ears in disgust. After he finished venting his emotions, she slowly spoke, "Old Wei, have you been in this world for too long and become assimilated? Why are you still arguing with me about your position? Let me ask you, what is your ultimate goal?"
Old Wei was stunned: "Find the witch, get the pass, and take Liao Yang away from here..."
"Then what does this purpose have to do with our stance?" Qi Mi stared at him seriously, "We're not from this world. Everything we do is just to get the pass. This matter is only about life and death, not stance. I can do my best not to endanger humanity, but that doesn't mean I can't choose the opposing side."
After a sleepless night, his mind was like mush. The more he listened, the more confused he became. "No, wait, what do you mean?"
Qi Fan: "..."
After suppressing her anxiety, she slowly let out a breath and explained to him in detail, "The point is, since the witch is the source of the pollution, she must be in the enemy camp. Instead of staying here and passively waiting for her to find us, we should take the initiative. They've already made some moves, which will inevitably expose their hiding place. I might as well take this opportunity to infiltrate the enemy camp and find a way to find the witch and get the pass."
"That's the logic, but how are you going to get in?" Old Wei asked worriedly, "They're all contaminated beings with confused consciousness over there. You're not..."
Qi Mi smiled slightly: "I can be like them."
"No! Absolutely not!"
Old Wei jumped out of bed and flatly refused, "They're all a bunch of crazy people over there. Do you want to be one too?! Besides, you know what it feels like to be confused. By then, you'll forget yourself, so how can you remember what you were doing? What if you get deeper and deeper into trouble and turn against us? No one here can beat you! No way!"
He hated it most when his companions turned against him. No matter what the reason was, if Qi Mi's consciousness became confused and she was assimilated and turned against humans, he could bet that no one here could be her opponent.
Qi Mi stared at Old Wei motionlessly. Seeing his expression soften a bit, he slowly raised his hand and gestured to him at the sealed eye pattern. "This eye isn't where it should be. Its power is too strong to affect consciousness. I placed it here because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control it. But now it seems like this is an opportunity."
Old Wei was silent.
This eye is in the hands of the Yaksha in hell. It is the eye of the evil ghost. You can imagine how powerful it is.
"But aren't you afraid that it will devour your consciousness and you'll never wake up again?" Old Wei's face was so cold that it looked like water was dripping from it. "You've always been afraid that it would control you, so why aren't you afraid now?"
"Because I have help now," Qi Mi replied with a smile. "Sister Liao Yang's [Hypnosis Skill] has been mastered to perfection. And now there's Zheng Yuanyuan's summoned creature's [Mind Control] skill, which can temporarily seal my consciousness to prevent damage. That way, once I complete my mission and she wakes me up, everything will be fine."
Old Wei looked skeptical. "Her skills have only been around for a short time, and I haven't mastered them yet. How can I expect her to be effective?"
Qi Mi's eyebrows curved: "I think we can give it a try."
"But……"
"Don't worry, this is the best way right now. I'll go get ready."
This time, Qi Mi just came to inform Lao Wei and didn't intend to ask for his consent.
Knowing that it was useless to persuade him any further, Lao Wei sighed and had to get up to help.
Under Qi Mi's stubborn insistence, Zheng Yuanyuan and Liao Yang had to agree to seal her consciousness and hypnotize her.
Taking advantage of the fact that the daylight was not particularly bright and the children were still asleep, Lao Wei drove the three of them to the edge of the base. They hid here to avoid being disturbed by others and for their own safety. After all, it was easy to imagine how dangerous a confused Qi Mi could be.
Qi Mi sat cross-legged on the ground.
First, Zheng Yuanyuan manipulated the summoned black ball to emit radio waves to seal and protect Qi Mi's self-consciousness. Then Liao Yang used hypnosis skills to repeatedly give her several instructions, asking her to act according to the instructions.
[Command 1: Use your work card to leave the base]
[Command 2: Replace the left eye with a dead eye]
[Command 3: Find a woodworking shop or any other place where puppets can be made]
[Command 4: Using the male and sword images as clues, find the witch and get the pass]
[Instruction Five: Kill the destroyers and do not harm other humans besides them]
These were the five instructions Qi Mi had prepared before she accepted the seal. With Liao Yang's special hypnosis skills, they deepened her impression, allowing her to clearly define her goals even when her consciousness was confused.
After snapping the fingers, the hypnosis ended.
Following Qi Mi's instructions, the three of them stayed as far away from her as possible and hid in a nearby underground passage.
A few minutes later, Qi Mi awoke, his aura vastly different. Like a sharp blade finally freed from its scabbard, he was unbridled and unruly, ready to shatter to pieces at the slightest touch.
The three people who were observing secretly were all holding their breath for her.
Zheng Yuanyuan was extremely worried. If Qi Mi hadn't insisted, she would never have taken the risk. Her face had been completely pale from the beginning. "Is Qi Mi okay?"
"Alas, I have advised her as much as I can. Now it all depends on her luck." Old Wei sighed and gently embraced Liao Yang, who was also worried.
Under the gaze of the three people, Qi Mi slowly stood up, took out his work badge from his pocket as instructed, and left the base.
Lao Wei: "What was the second instruction?"
Liao Yang: "Replace the left eye with a dead eye."
Zheng Yuanyuan exclaimed: "If the left eye is replaced with a dead eye, wouldn't that be..."
The three of them realized something was wrong and ran out in a hurry.
Then his pupils suddenly constricted.
Qi Mi stood with her back to them, her left hand stained crimson. Looking closely, one could see blood dripping from her fingertips. She seemed to be clutching something, but after looking at it, she casually tossed it aside, like a piece of unused trash.
And what fell bloody on the ground was a beautiful amber eyeball.
Zheng Yuanyuan was frightened and screamed.
Hearing the sound, Qi Mi's forward movement froze. When she slowly turned her head, her bright blue eyes were dazzling. She tilted her head, her eyes piercing as if she was sizing up her prey.
As the two of them stood face to face, Liao Yang tentatively called out, "Qi Mi?"
Qi Mi stared at her, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Half an hour later, Qi Mi searched several streets and stopped at the door of a woodworking workshop.
The sound of sawing wood could be clearly heard from inside.
"Qiqi, you died so tragically, Qiqi. I will avenge you." The puppeteer was cutting pieces of wood while wiping his tears. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw a ghostly figure that scared him even in broad daylight.
After the eye transplant, the left half of Qi Mi's face was stained with blood, which was indeed horrifying at first glance.
The puppeteer looked her up and down. "Are you human?"
Qi Mi didn't say anything, but calmly opened his collar to show him the ugly black spot on his fair collarbone.
"A new face, I haven't seen you before." Seeing that it was one of his own, the puppeteer felt relieved and continued to busy himself with sawing wood.
In his left eye, the colorful lines cut the puppeteer into several pieces. Qi Mi smiled with interest, his bright blue eyes fixed on his head for a moment, then looked away: "Are you alone?"
"Ah, everyone else is in the lab dissecting the human girl we brought back. I need to make Qiqi quickly, so I don't have time to watch." He paused and stared at Qi Mi suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Qi Mi maintained a faint smile: "Well, I'm here to join you."
The puppeteer stopped what he was doing, tentatively took out a piece of newspaper from his pocket, crumpled it into a ball and threw it at Qi Mi.
Qi Mi silently looked at the fallen paper ball: "What does it mean?"
The puppeteer smiled apologetically: "I thought you were a spy sent by humans. The fact that you didn't enter the barrier means you are one of us... Then let's go, I'll take you to see the boss."
He dusted off his hands, turned two streets with Qi Mi, and came to a very grand single-family villa.
In the courtyard, a tall, strong little giant was sitting by the pool with a man in a striped shirt. Noticing a newcomer, the man in the striped shirt stood up and asked, "Who is she?"
"Our new companion is..." The puppeteer wanted to introduce Qi Mi, but then realized that she hadn't introduced herself yet, so he asked, "By the way, you haven't told me your name yet."
Qi Mi thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Qi."
The man walked over with a sinister look on his face, sizing her up. After a long pause, he glared at the puppeteer and said, "You brought her here without even asking for her details?"
The puppeteer snorted coldly, gesturing at the strange creatures that dotted the road. "They've been fine all the way here, so they must be companions. Why are you still asking about their details?"
"Oh?" The man held a different opinion. He looked at Qi Mi's pocket with a smile, and a corner of her purification officer badge was exposed.
He stretched out two fingers and took out his work badge: "Are you a purification officer?"
"It used to be." Qi Mi remained calm.
As soon as these words were spoken, the little giant and the puppeteer reacted quickly and surrounded her, taking the knife from her waist.
The man continued to interrogate her: "Are you here undercover?"
"No, escape."
"Escape?"
"After I became a saboteur, the agency wanted to execute me, but I escaped."
The man narrowed his eyes: "Do you think I will believe you?"
Qi Mi smiled disapprovingly, and suddenly turned around to grab the sword.
But in the blink of an eye, the knife that the puppeteer was originally playing with was back in her hand, and along with it, the puppeteer's proud pair of skillful hands was taken away.
Bang, bang, two blood flowers flew out from the severed hand.
Then, she slashed the man's neck with the knife in her hand, and blood gushed out, staining the ground like rain. The man's head even maintained a half-smile, and before he could even react in fear, he was mixed with the mud.
The speed and smoothness of the whole action was jaw-dropping. Qi Mi turned around and straightened his body. In less than three seconds, one person was killed and one was injured.
ah--! ! !
Two screams loud enough to break vocal cords were heard.
Qi Mi had a faint smile on his lips and shook off the blood on the knife.
She seems to have always been like this, her face can be stained with blood, but not the knife.
The reason she killed this man was, firstly, because the instructions told her to kill the destroyer, secondly, because she felt that killing the witch's men so arrogantly would always attract the witch to appear, and the third and most important reason... was simply because she found him annoying.
I don’t know how long this man will hesitate, but he will be killed with one clean and effective blow.
As for the remaining two, it will only take two cuts. It’s better to let them scream for a little longer.
Sure enough, not long after, more than a dozen people came out of the villa together. They saw the unknown woman holding a shiny knife in her hand and looking at them with joy.
Qi Mi said before that she had no chance of winning, that was because she could not resist the mysterious and elusive tricks, and if she was not careful she would be pulled into the barrier, even for a few short seconds, it would be fatal.
But now it’s different, she is the destroyer, their “companion”, no matter how many tricks they touch, it has no effect on her.
The Destroyer's most powerful trump card was no longer effective against her, leaving only some fancy punches and kicks, which she could handle with her eyes closed.
Qi Fan didn't want to waste time and looked around: "Where is your boss?"
"In the basement!" the crowd answered her without hesitation.
Qi Mi had just taken half a step when more than a dozen people quickly formed two rows, not daring to block her way.
She nodded with satisfaction: "If only the man just now had been so tactful..."
Everyone laughed.
Soon, Qi Mi went down to the basement, playing with his sword.
Just as she had imagined, the place was dark, damp, and confined, with a foul, fishy smell. Song Chun and the armor she was attached to lay on the dissection table, covered in blood.
There was a man sitting on the chair next to her, dressed as a doctor. Except for his face, the rest of his exposed skin was covered with black spots. He sat upright as if he was waiting for her to come.
Qi Mi noticed that the man was wearing a sun-shaped badge on his chest, and the rays of the sun were made up of the sword pattern she had seen before.
Male, sword, source of pollution, it’s him who is the witch, that’s for sure.
"I heard you were looking for me..." The man crossed his legs calmly, "What on earth do you want to do here? Just to wipe us out? Then congratulations, you succeeded."
Qi Mi looked at him, walked down the stairs without saying anything, came to the dissection table and touched Song Chun's neck.
Although weak, there is still a pulse.
A glimmer of understanding flashed in the man's eyes: "So it's to save her? Don't worry, she can still survive if she gets treatment soon."
Qi Mi grabbed the corner of Song Chun's clothes and wiped the blood off his fingertips, then turned around and asked, "Where's the pass?"
The man had no idea what he was talking about and looked confused: "What pass?"
"You're not a witch?"
"no."
Qi Mi was silent for two seconds, then grabbed the man by the collar and looked closely at the badge on his chest. The sword shape that formed the sun's rays increasingly matched the pattern in his memory. Reluctantly, he asked again, "You don't have a pass?"
"I don't know what the pass you're talking about is..." The man's eyes darkened. "Did you find the wrong person or kill the wrong person?"
Qi Mi was silent.
In an instant, the instructions in my brain shattered.
The buzzing sound of tinnitus exploded in my ears, accompanied by a splitting headache.
The blood in front of him was no longer red, but a strange emerald green.
"Hey, you..."
brush!
The knife slashed, and warm blood gushed out. The man didn't even finish his words before he could utter a single word.
Qi Mi's eyes were fierce and she threw the man's body away. Under the bright red stain, only that blue eye was dazzling.
She stood still for a moment, and was about to leave with her knife, when suddenly, an extremely soft and faint voice rang out from the dissection table:
"Qi...mi?"
That night, after the agency cleaned up and disinfected the entire base, the mid- to senior-level purification officers on duty led their staff to conduct strict patrols within a kilometer to avoid being caught off guard by vandals again.
Qi Mi had been out for a day and had not returned. In order to prevent others from finding her first, Lao Wei, Zheng Yuanyuan and Ye Shiliu were looking for her nearby almost like crazy.
Ye Shiliu only found out that Qi Mi had left the base when he was changing shifts. He immediately felt a surge of admiration for her when he learned that she had risked her life to eliminate the saboteurs.
This was a story made up by Lao Wei in order to capture the young boy. He concealed the fact that Qi Mi went to look for a pass and emphasized her fearless spirit of sacrificing herself for the base... Ye Shiliu believed it, and by chance, revealed this matter to He Kele, who always had good luck and had a good relationship with Qi Mi.
So with his lucky star physique, He Kele soon met Qi fans on the street.
Knowing that Qi Mi was now a dangerous person, she did not dare to act rashly and quickly reported it to Zheng Yuanyuan in secret.
More than ten minutes later, Lao Wei, Zheng Yuanyuan and Ye Shiliu rushed over from three directions.
"Hello, I'm here!" In order not to disturb Qi's fans, He Kele deliberately controlled his voice and waved to them.
She was tall and very conspicuous, so several people gathered around her and hid in the corner of an alley.
In the empty streets, the only sound was the friction of iron on the uneven ground. Following the pale light of a car headlight, Qi Mi was walking towards them, dragging a very heavy armor, like a beast dragging the remains of its prey, waiting for the opportunity to find its next target.
The light made the bloodstains dragging on the ground very clear, stretching from far away to nearby, which was horrifying.
Old Wei felt his head buzz and his pupils constricted. "That's... Song Chun?"
The man whose armor was torn and bleeding profusely was... Song Chun?
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but gasp when he saw a girl in her twenties turned into such a miserable state, like a wreck.
At this moment, Qi Mi seemed to have discovered something, and he stopped in his tracks, with a cold gaze suddenly approaching.
"Not good!" Old Wei exclaimed.
Seeing Qi Mi quickly draw the knife from her waist and prepare to attack this side, Lao Wei hurriedly asked Zheng Yuanyuan to control the summoned creature to remove her consciousness and seal the chaotic consciousness of the dead eye.
Otherwise, given the current situation, no one here would be her match.
However, before Zheng Yuanyuan took the black ball out of her pocket and could shoot, an uninvited guest suddenly fell from the sky.
Bang!
A figure fell from the roof, as if it was coming specifically for Qi Mi, and landed directly in front of her.
She was a girl wearing a pink strawberry lolita skirt, with twin ponytails, two metal boxing gloves on her hands that didn't match the clothes at all, and a hollow carved metal helmet on her face. She had a weird yet delicate beauty.
Lao Wei quickly put on monitoring glasses to observe and confirmed that the girl was the saboteur and he had never seen her before.
The girl moved very quickly. She stood for only a few seconds after landing before raising her fist to attack. Qi Mi, who had been through many battles, was naturally not afraid. There was even a hint of joy on her face. She swung out her whip and attacked directly at the girl's exposed throat.
If nothing unexpected happens, this one strike will determine the outcome.
Everyone held their breath.
But the girl reacted quickly. While retracting her fist to block the knife and whip, she quickly dodged to a relatively safe angle. After standing still for two seconds, she continued to punch and attack.
At this time, Qi Mi also changed his strategy, switching from long-range attack to close combat, retracting his whip, avoiding a punch while walking around behind the girl, and then raised his waist knife -
A blue dragon came rushing towards them.
Qi Mi and the girl reacted very quickly, both stepped back and jumped onto the roof together.
Li Xu walked over slowly, holding a silver-white gun in his hand, and pointed the gun at Qi Mi. He raised his lips slightly, and the moment he pulled the trigger, the blue flames gushed out again.
Qi Mi turned over and hid again, landing on another street next door.
Seeing that Li Xu was about to fire the third shot, Lao Wei and Zheng Yuanyuan rushed out.
"Li Xu, stop!"
"Stop shooting!"
The two shouted almost at the same time.
Li Xu was stunned, a trace of doubt flashed across the fox's eyes: "Why are you here?"
Without waiting for Lao Wei's response, in just two seconds, Qi Mi jumped down from the roof with a fierce look in his eyes, knelt on Li Xu, and quickly pressed the tip of the knife down to his throat.
"Qimi! No!"
