Qi Mi and Lang Yu seemed to be trapped in their own little world. The hurried figures passing by them had no effect on them.
"But I don't recall ever meeting you..." Qi Mi tilted her head, desperate to clarify. Subconsciously, she felt Lang Yu treated her differently, seemingly going beyond the realm of partnership.
Lang Yu unconsciously licked his lips. After suppressing his emotions, he chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you that you look a lot like a friend of mine? So every time I see you, I can't help but want to protect you."
"friend?"
Lang Yu's eyes moved slightly. "Yes, a friend I knew a long time ago, but she's gone now."
A hint of understanding flashed in Qi Mi's eyes. He didn't ask any more questions and patted his shoulder comfortingly.
At this time, Hou Shu's urging voice came from the front.
Afraid of being discovered by someone he knew in the tiger zone, Hou Shu kept his head down. After finally getting through the crowd and reaching a safe area, he turned around and found two people standing behind him, staring at each other.
"Is this the young lady you were talking about who's always been guiding you through the levels?" Youyou glanced at Qi Mi. She'd always heard Hou Shu boast about how amazing his sister was, and today she finally got to meet him in person. If she hadn't arrived just in time, he and Hou Shu would have been a star-crossed couple.
Hou Shu grinned, "Yes, she has saved me several times. She is my real sister."
Youyou nodded and turned her gaze to Langyu: "Who is that boy? Is he your brother-in-law?" As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. She could tell at a glance that Langyu's eyes were different when he looked at Qi Mi.
"He's my sister's little follower, right?" Hou Shu's face changed instantly. If he was a companion, it would be fine, but if he was a brother-in-law... This pretty boy looked unreliable.
While the two were talking, Qi Mi and Lang Yu had already walked over.
After being reminded by Youyou, Hou Shu felt more and more awkward. When he saw Langyu's shoulder suddenly touched Qi Mi, alarm bells immediately rang in his mind, and he deliberately squeezed between the two of them like a multi-kilowatt light bulb.
"Sorry, I think it's safer to walk in the middle." He smiled awkwardly.
They both: “…”
After walking for a while, Lang Yu suddenly remembered something important and handed the pass in his pocket to Qi Mi.
Qi Mi took it and immediately felt something was wrong: "It was so easy to get it? And there are exactly fifteen of them?"
"Yes, it's on the table in the viewing room of the arena."
Lang Yu repeated his conversation with Qin Xunfeng to Qi Mi in full.
Qi Mi frowned even deeper.
If it was a friend, the Lord of the City That Never Sleeps wouldn't have to be so secretive, but if it was an enemy...
That won't last long.
"Anyway, it's good to get the pass... So, Langyu, you go back and tell Teacher Du and the others to pack up. I'm going to the wolf area, and we'll leave when I come back." Qi Mi handed it back.
Lang Yu knew what she was going to do, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Qi Mi looked around, didn't dare to waste time, turned around and ran away.
A few minutes later, she stood still on the Wolf District Street.
If the Wolf Zone was still angry about Qi Mi severely injuring Red Rose before, after watching the mutual match, they were now only afraid of her.
After all, they didn't know that it was Lang Yu transformed into Qi Mi, and they thought that she really had some great magical power that could twist into a ball and still stand here alive.
So when they heard that Qi Mi was looking for the deformed child, everyone pushed him out without saying a word, just to ensure peace in the Wolf Zone.
The boy looked at her timidly: "What do you want from me?"
"I'm in a hurry, so I just want to confirm with you whether the monster on your shoulder has eaten someone who looks very similar to me before?" Qi Mi drew out his sword.
The child was stunned for a moment, then after carefully examining Qi Mi's features, he lowered his head and said, "No, no."
Qi Fan: "Then there should be more than 60 people who ate on the bus, right?"
“…”
The boy didn't say anything, but his expression became even uglier.
He wanted to insist that he didn't know, but the head on his shoulders was ignorant and laughed arrogantly: "Yes, that's what I ate. I also ate people who looked like you. You——"
The moment the knife fell, the sound stopped abruptly.
With a thud, the deformed monster's head fell to the ground, splashing a pool of blood.
He probably didn't expect that he would die like this, his eyes were wide open.
Qi Mi moved quickly, and after a moment of coldness the boy felt the pain spreading. He was so scared that he froze in place, staring blankly at the head, with blood all over his shoulders but no reaction.
Qi Mi shook off the blood on the knife and glanced at the people watching behind him: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you take this child to see a doctor?"
A few kind-hearted people reacted and immediately took the little boy away.
Only the ugly monster's head remained alone on the ground.
Qi Mi retracted the knife and stomped hard at the other end, instantly turning it into a pool of meat paste.
"Please clean it up." She curled her lips slightly and said in a gentle voice.
When he turned and left, he left behind a trail of bloody footprints...
Just after turning around the fighting arena in the wolf area, Qi Mi saw a figure stumbling towards him.
Every two steps, Joe had to stop and take a few deep breaths, as if he was suffocating. His facial features were severely deformed, and it seemed that he was about to advance. His face was between an advanced person and a monster. Sometimes his mouthparts stretched out, and sometimes it returned to normal and his head became bigger.
It seems that just a difference in thought can lead to two completely different paths.
He didn't expect that the advancement time would be advanced by one day.
"Where's the vanguard officer? Where is the vanguard officer? Where's the pass he promised to give me?!" Qiao was also anxious like a headless fly, asking whoever he could. His eyes moved so quickly that he didn't recognize Qi Mi for a moment. Seeing that she stopped moving, he quickly asked: "You know where the vanguard officer is, right? Tell me, I want to go find him to get the pass."
"It's no use looking for him. You have to find the city lord. He has the pass..." Qi Mi pulled his hand away. "Why are you in the City That Never Sleeps? Where's Yu Shan?"
According to the rules of Carnival City, the two of them should be expelled and never be able to enter the City That Never Sleeps.
After careful identification, Qiao also recognized Qi Mi and stepped back suddenly: "The woman who is haunting me, why is it you again?!"
"I'm asking you about Yu Shan!"
It seems that one can see the shadow of her as a newbie in Yu Shan, and Qi fans always pay attention to her unconsciously.
"I don't know!" Qiao Ye was now suffering from the torture of advancing, and he didn't care about Yu Shan at all. "You said you wanted to find the city lord. You know where he is, right? I don't have time. Tell me quickly!"
"It's too late for you..."
Qi Mi saw it clearly: Qiao had already completed his advancement before her. His appearance, somewhere between a monster and an advanced being, finally took shape, his head expanding and becoming an alien.
Qiao also successfully advanced and became an advanced person.
Just as the cloaked man said, it was completed before I knew it.
“!!!”
Joe couldn't believe it until he touched the discordant head and facial features. He couldn't accept it and burst into tears: "No! No! I want to go home, I want to go home! I want to go home - ah -!!!"
Qi Mi frowned.
As a player, she could understand Qiao Ye's current collapse. He had already successfully advanced, and even with the pass, he could no longer return to the real world.
After all, the real world would not allow humans like him to exist.
He can only stay in this polar night apocalypse, or wander around in various apocalyptic games, endlessly.
Qi Mi sighed, and just as he turned around, he was stopped by Qiao Ye.
"Please... take Shanshan back home, okay?"
Qiao was crying, kneeling on the ground, looking lost. "I can't go back anymore, and I can't let her go either. Please, if you find Shanshan, take her away from here with you, okay? I hid her next to the west gate of the City That Never Sleeps. Please take her away. I instructed Shanshan to do all the things against you in the past. She has always treated you as friends. You can blame me, but please don't blame Shanshan. Please..."
Qiao also said "please" several times in a row, and his former arrogance was no longer seen. Now he is just a poor man abandoned by the real world.
"If I can find her, I'll try my best..."
After saying this, Qi Mi continued forward. Suddenly, she thought of something and sighed, turning back. "If you don't mind your low level and lack of supplies, you can come to the Rabbit Zone after we leave. It's the closest atmosphere to the real world that I've experienced so far, and I think you'll like it."
Qiao was also stunned for two seconds, but before he could react, Qi Mi had already walked away.
She admitted that she had no good feelings towards Qiao Ye until now, but this was only limited to her dislike for his personality. There was no blood feud between them. Considering that they were both doomsday players in the past, she still hoped that Qiao Ye could find a sense of belonging in this doomsday.
More than ten minutes later, Qi Mi returned to the express hotel.
First, I sneaked into the bathroom on the first floor and cleaned the blood and flesh off my shoes.
Zheng Yuanyuan and Du Rui had packed the children's luggage as she instructed. To avoid any further complications, they decided to leave immediately.
They left in such a hurry that the residents of Datu District were busy with their own things. There were not many people at the door to see them off, only Qi Siyun and Hou Shu.
Upon learning that there was an advanced cultivator in the Rabbit District with exceptional healing abilities, Hou Shu decided to bring Youyou to live there for a while to see if he could heal her leg. They still had two months left, and with Qin Xunfeng's assurances about the Rabbit District, it should be no problem.
This was a deal made between Lang Yu, who was disguised as a Qi fan, and Qin Xunfeng, asking him to protect the rabbit area as much as possible.
Qin Xunfeng is number one on the list, and it is no problem for him to fight against a hundred people alone. With his promise, no one will dare to bully this place anymore.
Moreover, he has the skill of speaking incantations. If he does not fulfill the oath he has made, it will harm himself, so his credibility is still very high.
Noticing that Qi Siyun's expression was not right, Qi Mi turned around.
I didn't expect that she, who always complained every day, would suddenly change her behavior today and say nothing.
"Why, you can't bear to leave? Didn't you want to kick me out the moment I came in that day?" Qi Mi laughed and punched Qi Siyun. "You're about to advance, don't you really need me to get you a pass?"
"Go away! Stop flattering yourself! I'll have some peace and quiet once you're gone. Go away!" Qi Siyun pushed her and said stubbornly, "If I really wanted to leave, I wouldn't have to wait for you to get me a pass. I would have left this crappy place long ago! Go away, go away! I finally have some peace and quiet. I'm almost sick of hearing these little brats yelling every day!"
Wang Xiaohu heard her loud voice and immediately hugged her with a sly smile, "But Aunt Qi, I can't bear to leave you, what should I do?"
Qi Siyun pushed him away in disgust: "I don't miss you. Come on, little braised egg, stop dawdling!" She walked back to the hotel, complaining: "Stop dawdling. Who are you trying to impress with such sentimentality?"
Qi Mi knew she was being stubborn, so she didn't expose her. Instead, she turned around and told Hou Shu, "You have to take good care of Youyou this time, okay?"
"Don't worry, sister. I will protect her even if I die this time."
"What's the point of living or not? Even if there's a one in ten million chance of survival, you have to fight to survive. If you die, you'll have nothing left. Do you understand?"
This was what someone told Qi Mi when she first entered the doomsday game, and she has remembered it all these years.
"Um!"
Hou Shu waved goodbye.
After leaving the city, Qi Mi first went to the west gate that Qiao Ye mentioned.
Yu Shan was not there, and there was a hole left against the wall. Because few people came to this place, a row of obvious beast footprints could be seen on the wet beach. It was likely that she woke up and controlled the mutant lion to leave.
The direction of the footprints was consistent with the route of the "door" marked on the pass, so Qi Mi decided to look for it while walking.
"Teacher Du, can you hold on? Why don't I drive?" Qi Mi asked.
Du Rui's face became paler and paler, and he looked much thinner in just half a day.
His new skills have not yet been accepted by his body. He can't even speak. Every sound he makes feels like his throat has swallowed a razor blade.
At this time, he was already sitting in the driver's seat. When he heard Qi Mi ask this, he smiled, shook his head, and fastened his seat belt.
Qi Mi turned around and sat in the passenger seat.
Through the glass next to her, she saw Lang Yu standing next to the car, looking at the city that never sleeps, and seemed to have no intention of getting in, so she opened the window.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lang Yu turn around and smile: "You guys go first, I have something else to do, I'll come find you later."
"Um……"
Qi Mi nodded as if he understood, and without asking any more questions, he told the kids on the second floor to fasten their seat belts and drove off.
After watching the bus travel a distance, Lang Yu instantly regained his true form, his beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly showing a cold look: "What's the matter?"
As space distorted, Zero walked out expressionlessly. He stepped forward and saluted when he saw him. "Your Honor, the agency has discovered that the unknown bug that led those thirteen people here is in this city that never sleeps. I request your instructions on the next step."
Lang Yu slowly raised his eyes and looked at the tall buildings with bright lights in front of him, his face darkening a little:
"Let's go and fix it."
