As she spoke, a few crystal clear tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, flowed along the curve of her cheeks to her chin, and after shaking a few times, they suddenly dripped and fell straight to the ground.
In mid-air, the tears changed rapidly upon contact with the air. The originally transparent and flawless liquid quickly turned a dark purple, and then scattered colorful dots of light appeared one by one...
"!"
Qi Ji quickly flashed and came to the same height as the tears at a speed that was almost instantaneous. He quickly grabbed them with one hand and held them in his palm without missing a single drop.
At the same time, she invoked various divine authorities and constructed a tight seal in her clenched fists, firmly sealing the tears inside.
After completing all these preparations, she mobilized her strength and violently poured it directly into the seal, corroding and destroying everything inside until nothing was left.
"call……"
After carefully sensing the situation inside the seal and confirming that there was no longer any power left, she breathed a sigh of relief, removed the seal from her fist, and slowly opened her five fingers.
"This guy...is no ordinary trouble..."
Staring at the delicate skin in the empty palm, Qi Ji felt an uncontrollable bad premonition rising in his heart.
Those few tears just now were not ordinary salt water.
Every milligram contains unimaginably rich spiritual power, and is compressed in a very small space at an extremely high concentration.
Once all of them are released, it will cause a shocking explosion on a scale so large that it will sweep across an area of dozens of miles.
Moreover, the impact and damage caused are far more than the shock waves and high temperatures in the conventional physical and chemical sense, but also include extremely intense spiritual shocks.
This will be enough to set off a mental storm capable of destroying the spirits of all living beings within range, and even the Light Smelters and Saints will not be immune.
If it falls to the ground...
Twilight City will definitely be blown to the sky. Except for demigods, no living creature will survive here.
And what could cause all this were just a few tears shed by the Star Girl...
Looking up, Qi Ji looked at the starry sky girl in mid-air who still had a frustrated and depressed look on her face.
Regardless of whether this guy is a god or not... the realm she is in is so high that it is far beyond common sense.
Even if she herself does not harbor any ill intentions, she may unintentionally cause immeasurable impact on the mortal world.
Just like a pedestrian who tramples an ant to death, it is very likely that he did not pay any attention to what was under his feet from the beginning to the end.
This is the gap that is formed when the level gap reaches a certain level.
The Star Girl came because of him, so Qi Ji has the absolute responsibility to keep her under guard, and among all the people he knows, no one is capable of restraining her.
I can't just leave her to the gods of the world, right? First of all, I know nothing about the character and style of the Nine True Gods. It's not appropriate to hand over such a dangerous person to a group of strangers...
What's more... she doubted whether the Nine Gods could deal with this guy.
She could feel that there was no substantial gap in strength between herself and the Star Girl, and she was the nominal "master" of the Star Girl, and the other party seemed to be very happy with this relationship.
So, in this world... there is no one more suitable than Qi Ji to guard and restrict the Star Girl.
"Do I have to get along with such a dangerous person for the rest of my life..."
After realizing this, Qi Ji immediately felt hopeless about his life. At the same time, he had a great sense of responsibility that "the lives of all living beings in the world depend on me". He felt helpless but also had some expectations:
"I have to think of a way to prevent her from discovering the fact that my soul has traveled through time and space, and at the same time make her behave herself and not cause trouble everywhere... It would be best if she could return to the star realm obediently..."
======================
It’s the end of the month, hit me to death with your soon-to-expire monthly pass!!!
Chapter 367 Muddle through
Seeing that the Star Girl seemed to be in a very low mood, Qi Ji was a little worried that she would have some unpredictable reactions in this state...
This is the city center of Twilight City, where the royal palace is located. If any accident happens... the consequences will be disastrous!
So Qi Ji hurried back to the Star Girl, hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out a hand, gently stroked her head, and whispered in a comforting but not overly intimate tone:
"Okay, okay, don't be sad. I have something to do. It's not that I don't want you anymore."
The girl's hair is thick, dense and smooth, and it feels a bit like touching a cat, which is quite fun.
"Well?"
Hearing Qi Ji's words, the starry sky girl slowly raised her head, the tears in her eyes subsided a little, but were tinged with a bit of doubt.
She blinked and asked in a soft voice:
"Master... So you have something to do? But, in this world... is there anything worth your concern?"
It seemed that in her opinion, all the problems in this world were beyond the reach of Qi Ji to spend his time and energy to deal with.
"Uh……"
Qi Ji couldn't answer this question because she didn't have any mission to do, and the so-called "something" was just an excuse to explain her cold attitude.
No, it’s not that there is nothing… For example, keeping an eye on you and not making trouble everywhere should be my most important “task” at the moment…
But he couldn't say this directly, otherwise he would be exposed. So after thinking hard for a while, Qi Ji could only put on a warm smile, nodded and said softly:
"Yes. The details are quite complicated. Once I have dealt with them, I will explain them to you... uh, 'go back' with you slowly."
I can only delay time. The most important thing now is to get rid of this guy first, let her go back to the star realm and stay there obediently. When my strength is fully restored in the future, or when I have recovered all the past memories of the original owner, I will have a good talk with her.
"Eh, is that so..."
The Starry Sky Girl probably didn't realize any problem. She accepted Qi Ji's words without any doubt and looked obedient.
To be honest, judging from her appearance, this girl is a pure iceberg-like cold girl, giving people a feeling of arrogance, indifference, and absolute seriousness.
But in front of Qi Ji, she always looked pitiful and cuddly, accepting everything she said unconditionally, as if she was a little girl without her own opinion and who didn't know much about the world...
This extreme contrast between appearance and behavior created a strong sense of disharmony, but at the same time gave Qi Ji a subtle sense of dependence... It was difficult to suppress some dangerous impulses in his heart.
"Boom boom——"
"Wow!——"
At this moment, Qi Ji heard two sounds coming from behind him almost simultaneously, one was dull and powerful, like a burning fire; the other was sticky and slippery, like flowing water.
Along with it came two familiar spiritual fluctuations.
"I'm sorry for my incompetence and late rescue!"
A male voice sounded with obvious panic and fear. Qi Ji knew who was coming without turning around.
The Emperor, who had been left aside for a long time but dared not move at all in front of the Starry Sky Girl, heard the voices of the "Iron-Blood Knight" and the "Night Walker", turned his head hurriedly, and glared at them with a warning look.
"……Well?"
Just as the two master guards condensed into human form from the flames and black water, they saw their master floating above the messy ruins, staring at them fiercely, as if warning them not to make any noise.
Although they did not understand what had happened, they saw that although the emperor's clothes were torn and dirty, he did not look injured, so the tense nerves in their hearts relaxed a little.
At this moment, the two noticed that there were other people on the field, so their faces suddenly became alert and they turned their eyes over -
"!"
Then, they saw the graceful figure of the demigod who called himself "105" and a girl beside him who was as dazzling as the starry sky.
“They are not the enemy.”
In order to avoid misunderstanding, the emperor hastened to explain to prevent any accidents caused by rash actions of his personal guards.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The "Iron-Blood Knight" and the "Night Walker" bowed in unison in agreement, then moved their bodies intentionally or unintentionally, leaning closer to the emperor while distancing themselves from Qi Ji and the others.
In fact, there was no need for the emperor to warn him, as Yao Lingwu and the others knew him and knew that the position of this mysterious demigod was a mystery and it was not advisable to make an enemy of him. The Star Girl seemed to have a very close relationship with him and stood next to him, so she should be his companion.
In this way, as long as the two guards are sane, they will not show hostility in front of the two without permission.
"Oh, right."
Seeing the two Royal Metallurgists arrive, Qi Ji also remembered something. He glanced at the three of them and said to the Star Girl:
“What I want to do is a bit complicated, involving many people and things.
"So these people... including all living and non-living things in this world, may be the key links in my plan. You'd better not hurt them casually, otherwise it will give me a headache."
She said this to make the Star Girl restrain herself so as not to mess up the world unconsciously.
"No problem! I will never cause any trouble to the Master!"
Upon hearing Qi Ji's words that the game was designed specifically for her dependent psychology, the Starry Sky Girl's face immediately became serious and she agreed very seriously.
It seems that this guy has a really deep complex about the "Original Master"... This makes it even more impossible for her to realize her identity as a time traveler, otherwise there will definitely be a bloody storm.
Qi Ji's mood couldn't help but become heavier, as if the responsibility on his shoulders had been increased. At the same time, he began to wonder again: How could he, an ordinary office worker on Earth, possess the body of a god from another world?
This is intuitively unconvincing.
Whether out of curiosity or suspicion, after agreeing to Qi Ji's request, the Star Girl immediately asked with a puzzled look on her face:
"By the way, Lord, what exactly is your priority in this world? Something that even the Lord has to deal with specifically... must be very serious, right? Although I am weak, I may be able to help..."
Don't ask for details. Can't you just be more EQ and go home quickly?
"Well……"
Qi Ji pursed his lips, his brain working frantically, racking his brains to think of a way to get away with it.
"...Empress of the Dark Night, King of the Twin Moons..."
However, before she could come up with a suitable excuse, a devout and low prayer suddenly rang out in her mind.
It was a young, clean voice, slowly and solemnly reciting the honorable name of Roel, the "God of Night and Tranquility" and "Goddess of the Moonlight".
It was Hill's voice.
At this moment, Qi Ji suddenly remembered... today is the day when Hill from the "Last Country" will embrace a new field investigation mission and explore the ruins of a site that has not yet been fully surveyed with new team members.
In the last contact, Qi Ji proposed to Hill in the name of the "True Creator" that if he wanted to use spiritual items to repay the value of the "Curtain of Secrets" spell, he could go on an expedition and sacrifice the items he found directly to himself, bypassing the process of handing them over to the "Salvation Church".
And now, Hill's prayer sounded in Qi Ji's mind, which meant... she had successfully obtained at least one spiritual item, and bypassed the team members and the captain's sight, and found an opportunity to set up a sacrifice ceremony!
"...Great, Hill, your news comes at the perfect time!"
Qi Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of answering the Star Girl's question, he reached out and grabbed the air, taking out the Mirror of Reed Mormon.
"……what?"
Seeing this small mirror of ordinary and simple shape, the Starry Sky Girl was stunned for a moment. Then she saw Qi Ji use a series of simple techniques to open it, and her senses were connected to somewhere on the other end of the mirror.
"Is this... 'Whirlpool'?"
The moment the Reed Mormon Mirror opened and connected to the gray-white land, she seemed to realize something and whispered in a daze:
"So... Lord, are you finally going to take action there..."
Qi Ji had a blank expression on his face. He neither spoke nor shook his head or nodded. He just silently established a connection with Hill's senses.
She plans to get away with this!
She herself did not express any opinion on the Star Girl's issue. No matter what the other party thought, she remained silent.
This ambiguous attitude gave her a lot of room for mediation in the future:
Anyway, no matter how you interpret it, it is your own problem, but it does not mean that this is the "business" I want to handle...
Thinking of this, Qi Ji couldn't help but reveal a smile as if he had succeeded in a prank, and then he turned his attention to Hill on the other side of the Reed Mormon Mirror and instantly learned about the situation over there.

Chapter 368 Adventure
Under the gray clouds, the faint light that barely seeped out was weakly scattered among the gray-white forest, which was better than nothing to brush away the thick darkness and vaguely illuminate the outlines of the collapsed walls and ruins.
A lightly equipped team advanced slowly through the desolate and depressing ruins.
There were more than ten people in total, all of them had tense and solemn expressions, their bodies were tense, and their eyes were scanning the surroundings with extreme vigilance.
The team was now walking slowly in a place similar to a street. The stone brick road beneath their feet had broken into pieces, with dense gray weeds and some twisted, poisonous and deformed plants growing wildly in the cracks.
