There was another long silence, and the two looked at each other at the same time, wondering, "What happened?"
"Something terrible has happened..."
Above the Lion Carpenter's house, the now dilapidated and empty huge pit, Qi Ji watched the last ray of starry sky merge into his palm and slowly uttered a sigh.
She stood in the air with one hand on her waist and the other hand with five fingers spread out naturally, palm facing up, revealing delicate and pink texture.
Just now, the magnificent stars and the night sky disappeared in these exquisite and graceful little hands like a work of art.
No, it can’t be said to have “disappeared” either.
Because in the center of her palm, there was a complex translucent pattern floating, rising and falling slowly as if it was breathing, emitting a myriad of dark fluorescent lights.
Pure black background, dark purple brush marks, flickering spots of light…
It is that magnificent picture of the galaxy.
The starry sky covering an area of more than ten miles did not disappear out of thin air, but condensed in her hands, in those delicate, soft and boneless little hands.
However, the pattern in Qi Ji's hand had an extra part, a part that had never appeared in the starry sky before.
Under the beautiful Milky Way, between the Milky Way and the pure black bottom layer, there is such a strange image:
There were countless balls of light made up of countless colors, compactly gathered together, symbolizing something unknown and obscure.
Qi Ji's gaze continued for a while, and then her mind moved, and the pattern of "the aggregate of light balls behind the stars" suddenly dimmed and disappeared in an instant.
In her mind, the "lock" that sealed some extremely crucial memories finally showed signs of loosening.
It has not been completely solved yet, and it seems that some crucial opportunity is still missing, but it is not all in vain.
During the brief relaxation, a very small part of her memory broke free from its confinement, like a small fish escaping from the gap in a fishing net, entering her sea of consciousness and being recognized by her.
This piece of information alone made her fall into silence for a long time.
The rushing rivers are just a drop in the bucket compared to the sea, but in terms of the amount of water, it is still surging and surging.
Faced with the huge amount of information pouring into his mind, Qi Ji's delicate eyebrows were furrowed and his eyelids were half-closed solemnly.
Her mind, which was as fast as lightning and as vast as the ocean, faced this huge amount of information...
For the first time, I felt...pressure.
"Is just a small part enough to create such a heavy burden on me now..." After a few seconds, Qi Ji's tightly furrowed brows relaxed and he let out a long breath:
"It seems that I am not strong enough, and my thinking ability is not enough to bear the entire memory."
However, just the small amount that leaked out due to the loosening of the seal has already benefited her greatly...
"Go back and sort it out slowly," she suddenly put her hand down, her body slowly descended, and finally landed lightly on the edge of the huge pit, as soft as a feather, "Someone is coming."
She turned her head and looked towards the east, where she saw several blurry figures rushing towards her.
"It's Lunxi and the others."
Qi Ji nodded imperceptibly and was about to go over to him when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a corpse lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
He was wearing a white and gold monk's robe, with a golden patterned scepter rolling to the side, dull and dim.
"Is this the... Rosago? He's dead."
The originally elegant pastor had now turned into a dark brown mummy, with skinny and twisted limbs and chapped and rough skin, which was extremely horrifying.
"So, those knights are all dead too?"
She let go of her inspiration and scanned the entire ruined Lion Craftsman Villa area, but did not find any trace of the seven church knights.
"Tsk..." She suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to meet with other people like this:
"All the 'masters' of the church are dead, and I am the only one who is not hurt... Well, from other people's perspective, this is indeed very suspicious."
"Besides, even if my current alias 'Moon Valley Demon Fighter' is very powerful, it is unlikely that I can kill the incarnation of the evil god without any damage... Tsk, my character setting can't collapse so quickly..."
Looking at Lunxi and others getting closer and closer, an idea came to her mind.
Chapter 102 The End
"……Hahaha……"
Heavy breathing, as if someone was strangling his neck.
Lunxi's feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step required almost all of his body's strength.
She was already very tired.
In order to track down Ins's contact and investigate Andre with Qi Ji, she stayed up all night last night.
I went home this morning, but I couldn't catch up on some sleep because I needed to think and plan.
She had wanted to rest on the way from Stio to East Woshu Cathedral, but she happened to encounter this extremely serious blood sacrifice ceremony.
This forced her to give up the opportunity to rest again and run around to invite priests and knights and evacuate the people.
Two days of intense work had exhausted her both physically and mentally. The taut string in her mind seemed to be about to break. She had no doubt that she would pass out from sleepiness in the next second.
But she was still running, moving her legs as fast as she could.
Worried... Fear...
All kinds of uncontrollable emotions spread in her heart, disrupting her breathing and heartbeat.
Getting closer and closer to the center of the incident, finally a huge hemispherical pit with a radius of nearly 100 meters appeared in front of her.
Then, the hideous and horrible withered figure lying on the ground came into view, causing her heart to tremble and a huge shock surge up in her:
"Pastor, Pastor!?"
"Is this Rosago? He, he's dead?!" Frion, who was following her, also saw the mummy on the ground and stopped in shock. "Where are those knights? They can't be..."
Lunxi slowed down his pace and breathed heavily, but the hot sweat on his body did not relieve the chill on his back at all.
The Reverend is dead?!
As a supervisor directly under the Holy Church, a member of the Holy Church of Grace who has reached the realm of "Elucidator" and whose combat power is equivalent to that of a psychic warrior, Stio is truly the strongest...
Died in such a pathetic and undignified manner?!
"Then, then Xiao Qiji..."
She swallowed with great difficulty, her neck turned stiffly, and her eyes looked around cautiously.
What came into view, apart from the huge deep pit, was the Lion Craftsman Villa complex with broken walls and ruins everywhere. All the greenery and vegetation had turned into charcoal-like forms, as if they had been thoroughly baked by flames.
However, apart from this, nothing else was seen, and no other bodies were seen except Rosago.
This gave Lunxi a slight comfort and he felt a little relieved, but then his heart was hanging again.
"Strange, where did Xiao Qiji go?"
The restless anxiety in her chest intensified, and she didn't care that Friang was right beside her, and directly called out Qi Ji's real name:
"Qi Ji! Are you there? I'm Lun Xi, please respond if you hear me!"
"…Are you there? I'm Lunxi. If you can hear me, please…"
"…I am Lunxi…"
"..."
The clear but uneasy voice echoed in the empty ruins, becoming weaker and weaker after several rounds of wandering, and finally falling into silence.
Lunxi concentrated his exhausted energy and listened attentively to the sounds around him, not missing even the slightest feedback.
However, the dead silence has never been broken.
"...Miss Elizabeth, please don't worry too much." Friant comforted with a heavy face:
"We have informed the Lord of the situation. The clergy from the surrounding areas are on their way. I believe that professional search and rescue personnel will arrive soon to search for survivors."
He couldn't help but glance at the hideous corpse on the ground with the corner of his eye, the once glorious pastor Rosago:
"Ms. Sharon may have consumed too much energy and is recuperating somewhere. She may not have heard your call or does not have the energy to respond... She is the highest level magic fighter in the human world, stronger than Rosago, so she will definitely be fine."
But he himself didn't quite believe it.
After all, this was a battle with a terrifying being that was suspected to be the incarnation of an evil god. No matter how powerful a transcendent was, he was still a "human" in the end.
Any "human" who tries to confront the power of "God" will face a life-or-death situation.
The miserable death of Rosago, an undoubted "strong man" who was a preacher of the doctrine, is the most powerful evidence to prove this conclusion.
Ms. Sharon is a magician and psychic warrior, a top magic fighter, perhaps even stronger than Rosago, but...
If the enemy is too powerful, then the so-called strength will only serve to better attract the enemy's attention and firepower...
Perhaps this is why Rosago was left with only a tragic corpse, while Miss Sharon was left with nothing.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the withered and ugly corpse again.
"Perhaps, this is a kind of tragic luck that she didn't become such a miserable person..." He sighed sadly in his heart, "To completely return to nothingness in the brilliant and surging burning, this may be the most suitable ending for her."
In response to Friang's comfort, Lancy said nothing. He just clenched his fists and stared at the floor, biting his lower lip with his neat white teeth, and faint tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
She stood there motionless for a long time before she unclenched her fist and whispered in a very low voice:
"You're right... You go back to the camp first. I'll go back by myself..."
Friant looked at her sympathetically for a few seconds, then heaved a long sigh:
"She saved Stio."
After he finished speaking, he shook his head imperceptibly and turned away.
Only Lunxi was left, sobbing silently in the deserted desolation.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly raised her head, concealing all the sadness on her face, and her dark green eyes regained their luster.
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly through her closed mouth.
Then, he took slow steps, dragging his fatigue that had accumulated to the limit, and left the messy Lion Craftsman Villa area step by step.
During the whole process, he didn't utter a word.
In the darkness behind the collapsed walls, a petite figure in a cloak silently watched the back disappearing in the distance.
"This is a 'trial'..." Qi Ji muttered.
Looking back on everything that had happened in the past few days, and looking back on the days she had spent with Lunxi, she realized many hidden dangers that had been overlooked.
The most important thing is that because of my appearance, Lunxi's way of solving problems is a little too dependent on his own abilities.
No matter how big the danger or difficulty is, as long as Qi Ji is by my side, it can be resolved in a very short time.
The only thing Lunxi had to do was to help Qi Ji run errands.
Although Qi Ji intentionally threw some small problems to her to solve by herself, people can't always eat food that has been chewed by others.
It is time for this girl, who has just begun to "awaken", to try to realize her ideals through her own strength.
Secondly, among Qi Ji's inspirations, there were several powerful and special spiritual fluctuations that were rushing towards Stio at an extremely fast speed.
Reinforcements from surrounding churches...are coming.
They must be able to see the starry sky phenomenon they had accidentally created before - it covered such a large area that it was difficult not to notice it.
In this battle against the evil power, she was the only survivor. If she came into the sight of the officials of the Grace Holy Church, they would definitely connect her with the vision in the starry sky and give her special attention.
This was not what she wanted. She did not want to be involved in a conflict with official state forces for the time being.
Finally, she had not yet fully digested the vast amount of knowledge that had flooded into her mind.
She needs to be alone and calm down to understand them, which will definitely be of great benefit to her.
In short, she might need to leave Stio temporarily to get rid of the overly concentrated attention.
She might…have to disappear for a while.
Chapter 103: Ending (Part )
North District, a slightly shabby street.
The young man, who had the temperament of a nobleman, put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky in the distance which was gradually returning to normal.
"I was actually stopped," he murmured with a hint of self-mockery, "I thought I was going to devote myself to my Lord... Haha, I wonder if this is lucky or unfortunate?"
