Chapter 121 The Wind Spirit
Upon seeing the direction Lu Ming was pointing, Ming Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted!
He was pointing to Xiao Wei, who was sitting quietly to the side, occasionally adding tea for the two of them, with a polite smile always on her face.
There are many speculations about Lu Ming and Xiao Wei's identities.
Judging from their intimate behavior, she always believed that the two were in a romantic relationship.
Although Lu Ming always acted like a domineering person in this relationship, she only thought it was an unhealthy romantic relationship.
It seems she lacks experience.
Lu Ming affectionately patted Xiao Wei's head, his tone suddenly becoming gentle.
"This is my most precious treasure, and I've never shown it to anyone else. But today I feel we get along very well, so let's take a look together at the greatest creation of technology!"
Mingzhao's previous frankness about reputation points had already made him regard her as one of his own.
"You've participated in dungeons with Xiao Wei before, so you must have witnessed her strength. However, these are just the tip of the iceberg of this magnificent creation."
"In order to prevent her from being exposed to other people too early, I have always asked her to act as much as possible like an ordinary player."
Mingzhao began to feel somewhat confused.
Why does he talk about Xiao Wei as if he's talking about something he created?
But Xiaowei is a player, and the fact that they were assigned to participate in dungeons together before proves this point.
The Great Voyage game system shouldn't make such a mistake.
Seeing Mingzhao's puzzled expression, Lu Ming patted Xiaowei on the shoulder.
"Xiao Wei, let our guests witness your skills."
Xiao Wei still wore a proper smile, looking pure and innocent.
She walked to the deck, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes.
In that instant, Mingzhao felt a rich gathering of wind and life elements around her.
Despite the cold weather, Mingzhao felt a gentle spring breeze caressing her cheeks for some reason.
The ice and snow that had accumulated on the ship's deck began to melt, blown into the air by the wind, and then dispersed.
Tender green grass sprouted on the deck, followed by colorful wildflowers.
Xiao Wei stood there, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze, surrounded by petals and the spring wind.
They seemed like immortals who lived outside of worldly affairs.
"That's enough, Xiaowei. Let these things disappear."
Xiao Wei opened her eyes abruptly upon hearing Lu Ming's words.
Her pupils disappeared completely, and the whites of her eyes turned a light bluish-green.
At this point, she no longer resembled a human being at all.
The once gentle spring breeze suddenly turned bleak.
Xiao Wei's demeanor instantly transformed from an ethereal fairy to a cold-blooded killing machine.
The plants on the ground were swept away by the wind, uprooted, and restored to their original state in the blink of an eye.
The murderous aura emanating from her disappeared, and she returned to being the same Xiao Wei with an unchanged smile.
Mingzhao was somewhat shocked. She no longer knew whether Xiaowei could still be considered human.
In the later stages of the game "Great Voyage" in my previous life, many skills posed a far greater threat than Xiao Wei's.
But no one had ever made Mingzhao feel such a strong sense of inhumanity.
She recalled her encounter with Xiaowei in the dungeon; back then, Xiaowei hadn't reacted to any monsters or unexpected situations, acting like a machine. Only at the end, when their true identities were revealed, did she show a hint of shock.
At the time, Mingzhao simply thought she was naturally calm and unflappable, but now, looking back, it was indeed quite unusual.
After some deliberation, Mingzhao decided to ask Lu Ming.
She had made up her mind; this person had to be eliminated.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that she still considered him a confidant and try to extract as much information as possible.
"That's amazing! How did you do that? Also, I noticed that Xiaowei has a very strong sense of approachability, making people want to trust her without even realizing it. Is that related to that too?"
Lu Ming smiled smugly, and when talking about his most satisfying work, he seemed to have endless things to say.
"Miss Little Red, take a look at this first. I found it in a dungeon. I don't know if you know, but sometimes different dungeons lead to a completely new world."
Mingzhao nodded. She knew what he meant. Her previous magic awakening instance probably belonged to that type.
"That world has elves, dwarves, unicorns and other creatures that you can only see in movies. I lived there for two years and completed a story of a hero defeating a demon king."
"Without a doubt, having witnessed so many amazing creatures, how could I possibly pass up such a great opportunity for research?"
"Fortunately, during my time as a hero, I developed good relationships with the native creatures there. So, the moment I left, I pulled over the wind spirit that came to see me off, the one I was closest to."
As he spoke, Lu Ming handed his panel to Ming Zhao, which contained a report that was over a hundred pages long.
[Dissection and Research Report of the Wind Spirit.]
In this report, Lu Ming dismembered the companion he had met in the dungeon.
Mingzhao had no idea how horrific the process was; in the end, all that was presented to her was this cold and detailed report.
Lu Ming had thoroughly studied the wings of the wind spirits, magic circuits, and other aspects of them.
The wind spirits are the rulers of the creatures in that world, and they are naturally drawn to the creatures around them.
Their magical affinity is also very strong; even elemental molecules like to surround them and be absorbed by them.
Their learning of magic is a natural progression, a stark contrast to the human tendency to defy the natural order.
They can blend into the wind and appear anywhere instantly with it.
They also possess immense life force, capable of revitalizing a withered forest.
The wind spirits are such darlings of the gods, perfect creations.
The gods concentrated all the best qualities that He could imagine into the wind spirits, making them proud yet pure and kind, and holding the greatest goodwill towards all living beings in the world.
They never need to please anyone; their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all written on their faces.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to understand a person like Lu Ming who appears virtuous and kind on the surface but is actually dark and cruel on the inside.
This innocent wind spirit ultimately died because of its own naivety.
"Look, it's such a perfect creature. Now, Xiaowei has its blood flowing through her veins, and her magic circuits have been modified to be exactly the same."
"That's how I left this perfect creation, which only existed in the illusory world, in the human world."
When talking about his actions, Lu Ming could be described as fanatical.
However, Mingzhao keenly noticed the difference between Xiaowei and the wind spirit in the photo.
If she was also a creation of the gods, then why was there no compassion in her eyes, only indifference?
