Chapter 272
"Miss Li Yan still hasn't come back."
"She hasn't given up yet..."
"Shut up! Others may not know what kind of person she is, but don't you know it?"
Xi Ze and Yu Shisan are a pair of bickering lovers. They have been at odds with each other ever since they were adopted by Xi Lan, and fighting is a common occurrence.
The latter's personality is actually not as optimistic and cheerful as it seems, and it is already his limit not to make sarcastic remarks at this time.
We can't blame him entirely. If it weren't for Miss Li Yan's illusion, the alien network would be like humans without their souls, and there would be no need for them to even continue to improve.
Caesar frowned, not daring to think about how much this news would dampen everyone's enthusiasm if it got out.
For them [Yi Xi], it was simply devastating.
"What did Liuhua-senpai say?"
If Miss Li Yan is not here, Liuhua Buyi will become the backbone.
Although Liuhua Buxi is a member of the first generation of Xi Guang and is almost the person closest to the god Ju Mang, Xize does not have a good opinion of him.
He always felt that Liuhua Buxi joined Yixi for his own purposes.
The most urgent task is to find Miss Li Yan first.
But Li Yan seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No matter how hard they tried to find her, there was no trace of her.
Xi Ze, Yu Shisan, and Liu Hua Buxi all had to face this cruel reality.
Li Yan may never come back.
"My [Mist] may be able to replace Li Yan's [Fleeting Dream]."
Liuhua Buxi gave another plan that he had already thought of.
If we only compare the possible contributions of the two people's abilities to the alien network, the reality given by [Mist] is undoubtedly better than pure illusion.
The news of Li Yan's disappearance could not be concealed for too long, and people began to resign from them one after another.
This even includes companions who were also adopted by Zhen Lan.
"Ers, do you really have to go?"
Yu Shisan was completely unable to conceal the sadness on his face. Although Ers's behavior was not very popular and he was a person who even the god Ju Mang dared to challenge, they were adopted and grew up together after all.
Ers gave a slightly sarcastic smile, "The so-called hope and light, this farce should have ended long ago."
Farce? How could he trivialize something that would make a great contribution to the future of superpowers and call it a child's play?!
Yu Shisan was so angry that if Caesar hadn't held him back, he would have gone to fight with Ers.
As a last resort, the two could only accept Senior Liuhua's proposal.
This proposal actually eased the relationship between them and also made Xi Ze and Yu Shisan change some of their views on Liuhua Buxi.
Because no matter whether the alien network succeeds or fails, Liuhua Buxi will throw himself into that world like a sacrifice.
It is a sacrifice from which there is no turning back.
"And, Xi Ze is actually right." Liuhua Buxi said frankly, "I do have another purpose."
After he told them the secrets he was carrying and the reasons why he was being hunted by the government, all the barriers between them disappeared.
Protecting secrets does not conflict with building a world that belongs only to people with special abilities.
From now on, they will work towards the same goal.
——
The Judge has no memory of Liuhua Buxi's death, perhaps because he is afraid that the artificial intelligence will act outside the rules after knowing the fear of death.
When Xi Siling's reverse thorn pierced the last piece of the divine deer's skull, the wailing turned into a continuous chant, and the skeleton with the star map flowing on it began to collapse section by section, with silver-blue light mist gushing out from every inch of the fracture.
It was clearly a scene of collapse, but it looked so magnificent. They would probably never forget the magnificence of the nebula's annihilation.
After the collapse, only a pair of horns of the divine deer were still suspended in the air, and they came in front of the three people. The tangled bones and branches dripped like dewdrops, and turned into a disc that they were very familiar with.
Liu Huaqi stretched out his hands to take the CD, and in the light that was dripping like drizzle, he looked at the man who sat back in the wheelchair.
This will be the starting point of their journey, but also the end point for these predecessors with great ideals.
Xi Siling let out a long sigh and put the reverse thorn back into his personal space.
Lin Zhipei was still gasping for breath, still doubting whether this was over.
From a combat perspective alone, he hadn't felt so refreshed in a long time.
And...didn't he take the Judge's wheelchair away?
Hearing the young man's inner complaints, the Judge...it might be better to call him the Guardian now. The Guardian's eyes rarely showed a hint of helplessness.
Why are you staring at his wheelchair? If anything, it's just a personal hobby.
"You have passed the test. According to the agreement, the evidence and the right to use the alien network will belong to you."
The three of them walked back to him.
"Right to use the alien network?"
Liuhuaci expressed doubts about this.
"Yes, according to Liuhua Buxi's instructions, the alien network is now your private property."
The Guardian explained.
Being able to pass the ceremony and his test, there is no need to worry about the alien network being used for bad purposes by them.
"It's over? Although it has been long enough..."
From Lin Zhipei's tone, it seemed that she still had something to say.
The guardian gave a standard human smile, "If you want to fight me again, I'm always at your service."
But his smile was indeed a bit...abstract.
Liuhua Qi rarely saw the smile of Liuhua Buyi in Yigong's memory, but he saw it here.
...
Just let him be happy.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later when we have a chance!" It was already difficult for the three of them to fight against the guardian alone, especially when the opponent was obviously letting them win. In reality, life and death only happen once.
Lin Zhipei just wants to go home and sleep until dawn!
"40, your business." It was a little too early to discuss the Alien Network now. Liu Huaqi had never forgotten the reason why they had originally decided to participate in the Alien Network Ceremony.
Xi Siling nodded, "My body was taken over by another spirit. You seemed to know something about the situation at that time. Can you tell me?"
That was also the first time Xi Siling saw the Guardian. In that space that clearly belonged to the core of the alien network, the Guardian said this.
[If you don't go back, your body will no longer belong to you.]
Even if the guardian doesn't know who the person who took over his body is, he should be able to see it more clearly than he does.
The guardian exercised his power to restore [Spring] to its original appearance, and then faced the three people again.
"Your situation is quite complicated, but I can allow you to meet the person who wants to possess you on a different network."
Xi Siling's body is still his own now. No matter how the guy hides, he still has to listen to Xi Siling's command.
This is truly the best news Xi Siling has received since he was possessed by another body.
If I could meet that guy and know his purpose, I could come up with a countermeasure.
"Won't it affect reality?"
Lan Yi and Li Ke have probably left the alien network as agreed. Xi Siling is most worried that something might go wrong when they leave the alien network this time.
"If you leave the alien network now, he might take over your body again."
The guardian directly exposed Xi Siling's worries. He was very aware of the guy's intention to wait for an opportunity. Faced with this kind of insect hiding in the gutter, it would be best to pull it out and crush it to death.
“I think it’s a great idea.”
Liu Huaqi couldn't wait to solve the problem of Xi Siling being possessed once and for all.
“I think so too!”
Lin Zhipei was also very angry at the guy from the body-snatching department, Si Ling. Now that she had a chance to punch him, it was a godsend.
Xi Siling nodded, "Please."
Who will the guy we are about to face be?
Is it related to Xi Guang? Or is it due to some other reason...
A cold blue light appeared from the guardian's hand, transformed into tiny bits of stars and began to float towards Xi Siling.
After circling once, it gathered around Xi Siling.
At first glance, it seems to be a man whose body shape is not much different from Xi Siling.
What impressed Liuhuaci and Linzhipei most about him was his scarlet eyes.
But before the man opened his eyes, the three of them were already shocked.
"What?!"
"40? You've been possessed?!"
"How could it be..."
The man had the same hair color and almost identical face as Xi Siling. He stood in front of the three people, as if another Xi Siling appeared here.
The biggest difference is her short hair, which is different from Xi Siling's, and her cold and sticky temperament.
Only the guardian...or Liuhua Buxi, recognized his identity.
"...Ers?"
The man called Ers opened his eyes, his scarlet eyes full of malice, and he seemed quite satisfied with everyone's reaction.
"Perhaps calling me Xiers will help my dear descendants understand the current situation better."
Ers means anger.
Taking [Xi] as the surname means to tie up one's anger.
“I am glad to see the light of day~”
Xi Siling finally realized why the person in front of him could take over his body in such an incredible way.
It was a curse that had been inescapable since birth, a curse that ran deep in the bloodline.
Ers, one of Miss Xianlan's adopted sons, once had great hostility towards Ju Mang.
Xi Siling never imagined that the person who took over his body was his great-grandfather.
"Why do you want to seize the body of 40!"
Lin Zhipei did not give up questioning him just because of his identity. What if they were blood relatives? He himself had been hurt by his relatives.
No matter who it is, anyone who wants to take over body 40 is definitely not a good person!
"Possession? You know nothing about my great plan."
Xiers didn't take Lin Zipei seriously at all, but turned and walked towards Xi Siling.
"Your name is 40? Which 4? Which 0? It's 40. This name sounds pretty good~"
Seeing the 'ancestor' getting closer and closer, Xi Siling frowned and stepped back.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you~" Xiersi quickly stepped forward and put his arm around Xi Siling's shoulder. At the same time, he also saw Xiaogong, who was still awake and sitting on his shoulder. "Ah - it turned out to be [Despair], Xiaogong's [Despair]. No wonder you woke me up after you grew up so much. Although it's a bit troublesome, it doesn't affect anything."
Xiers' expression was full of aggression and possessiveness, as if he had regarded everything of Xi Siling as his own.
"Don't push your luck, you old, disrespectful fellow."
Liuhua Qi kicked Xiers away without any hesitation. Although they were both ancestors, Liuhua Buxi and Xiers were like two extremes.
"What exactly is your purpose?!"
Seers laughed.
"If it weren't for me, do you think Xi Siling would have been born?"
"Are you angry about the friends you finally made?"
"Although you will lose friends sooner or later, you still have me. I can definitely be your friend~"
