When Song Shiyi came to her senses, she found that her surroundings had changed drastically.
Under the dim light, seven craters of various sizes appeared on the stadium’s floor and spectator seats. The lawn was rolled up everywhere, and the nearest goal post in front was directly lifted up by its roots and turned into a twisted mass of large steel pipes.
On the ground lay the unconscious white-haired kid Yao Chieh.
Ming Zai, on the other hand, had burrowed into the lamp, drawing power and heat, and was slowly recovering.
The blocked space had returned to normal.
Only the ten white elephants were still chewing on the lawn, as if they hadn’t eaten enough.
Isabelle had her hands in the pockets of her sweatshirt, still with the same cold demeanour of not saying a word.
“Miss Mary, where’s the Lianzhen Star Monarch?”Song Shiyi asked her.
“I don’t know, He suddenly left.”
Song Shiyi quickly went over and checked Yao Zhi’s condition, confirming that the child’s vital characteristics were normal.
She suddenly reacted, “I remember that before I was fixed by Him, there were other Apostles who came here to block the Lianzhen Star Sovereign, and those weren’t members of the Secret Service or the Executive Board.”
“It was my colleagues.”
Isabel gave Lu Yao’s planned reply, “I sent out a call for help and they rushed over.”
“They were the ones who repelled the Lianzhen Star Monarch, right?”
“No.”
Isabel insisted, “It was He who disappeared on His own. It could also be that because the value was too consumed, he felt that there was no certainty of victory, so he temporarily left.”
This answer had some credibility.
Song Shiyi didn’t continue to pursue, “Anyway, thanks to you this time. Without you and your colleagues, I would have been in trouble this time.”
“By the way, when I was about to use the Moon Yagami earlier, you told me to wait and see, also because your colleague was on his way over?”
“Not bad.”
Regarding this point, Lu Yao had specifically considered it.
Since he decided to come down to help, he had to help all the way through. There was no need for Song Shiyi to consume herself, because as long as the Apostle Team arrived, there would be no shortage of this output from her.
It was unacceptable that that Lian Zhen Starlord not only wanted to put Song Shiyi under house arrest, but also capture Isabelle, who was travelling with him.
Since the fight was on, it would be a fight to the death.
Lu Yao had always had this attitude, usually trying to be as restrained and low-key as possible, but sometimes it was really impossible to avoid it, then he would strike hard. Within the scope of his ability, he will never leave the other side the opportunity to settle scores and seek revenge.
As a matter of fact, Lu Yao was not the most worried about Lian Zhen Xingjun in this group battle.
Although he was one of the Northern Dipper’s title deities, he was in a weakened state and sealed by the Old God’s Curse, so if it wasn’t for the tricky ability of the [Drawing the Ground for the Firmament], he would have already cleaned him up.
As long as the Lianzhen Star Monarch didn’t have any stronger means, then the elite team of Apostles would inevitably be victorious.
What Lu Yao was more concerned about was the fact that the Committee’s reinforcements had been slow to arrive.
There was something odd.
“The …… Committee has been short on manpower.”
Song Shiyi explained with an apologetic face, “Tracking down the white elephant is just one of the many tasks of the Secret Service and the Executive Board. Because this one accident didn’t directly cause any human harm, the rating is only E. If it was known that there was a wishbone species, the rating would have been at least C considering its harm.”
“And I’m in a unique situation, less likely to be in danger, even if I’m under the control of the Star Lord of Lianzhen, He’ll have a hard time hurting me.”
She spoke vaguely, and the relevant information seemed inconvenient to say more.
Lu Yao understood.
In the eyes of the Committee, Song Shiyi was the [Moon God]. She was already a powerful combatant, and when in danger, she only needed to awaken the [Moon God] to have a chance to kill back, so she was not worried on the surface of survival.
Isabelle asked her, “The Lianzhen Star Sovereign is one of the Northern Dipper, why do you want to find the Southern Dipper?”
“This ……”
Song Shiyi hesitated for a moment, “Nandou is the master of life, and Beidou is the master of death, the characteristics and abilities of these two initiates are in two very different directions.”
“To find Nandou, the Lianzhen Star Monarch may need to use Nandou’s power to peel off with Yao Zhi.”
She looked towards the unconscious child lying on the ground, “Unlike Beidou, Nandou doesn’t rely on a human body as a surrogate, which is due to Nandou’s characteristics.”
Lu Yao at least knew that Yao Chui was the key for Lian Zhen Xingjun to be able to appear in this world, he just didn’t know if he could be resurrected after He was killed off this time, as He had wildly claimed.
Isabelle said, “When the Lianzhen Star Monarch fought He claimed to be immortal, so it would be a nuisance if the follow-up stares us down. Can the committee deal with Him in the follow-up?”
Song Shiyi answered this doubt.
“Although the Big Dipper consists of six Star Sovereigns, it’s still in the category of Title Deities, and it would be a good thing if He were to fall. It’s because this one Lianzhen Star Sovereign should have been radicalised and out of control due to problems with accidents in the past.”
She said with great certainty, “The Beidou is in the committee’s grasp. It’s only that this one’s Lianzhen Star Monarch had some unexplained accidents, which might be related to Yao Chie’s child, and the condition of the surrogate body will affect the Star Monarch’s character and tendency …… The next Lianzhen Star Monarch will be normal.”
“If you do encounter the Lianzhen Star Monarch, contact me or immediately seek help from the committee, He is weak but still very dangerous.”
Lu Yao heard something.
It seemed that this Lianzhen Star Sovereign, was similar to the Silkworm Bush’s situation, but He needed a surrogate body to show up. After fusing with the surrogate body, the Star Monarch’s way of acting would again be influenced by the surrogate body.
“Understood, then I’ll leave first.”Isabel excused herself.
“I know you don’t want to see the rest of the committee.”
Song Shiyi fished out a mobile phone from her pocket and handed it to her, “If you want to contact me in the future, call this phone, it has my number on it. It will be more convenient for us to use this to contact each other.”
“There’s also this card, it’s opened in my name, the password is six ones, the finance sends out the intelligence fee on the morning of the 10th of every month, that’s tomorrow, and the special subsidy and reimbursement for that month will be postponed for a month.”
Isabel collected her mobile phone and bank card, turned around and disappeared into the stadium passage.
Ming Zai, who had finished resupplying, flew back and landed on Song Shiyi’s shoulder.
The small eyes of the bird gazed at the direction where Isabelle disappeared, “When I woke up, everything was over here. But the Eye of Insight can still see some residual trajectories …… Lianzhen Star Sovereign’s Flame of Faith burned through, indicating that He encountered a strong enemy and had to fight for his life.”
“I even suspect that the Lianzhen Star Monarch might have been killed.”
Ming Zai shivered, “Master, that woman is dangerous, very dangerous.”
“Ming Zai, this time it was Miss Mary and her friends who helped us.”
Song Shiyi poked the bird’s head with her hand, “She even made a point of reminding me not to use Moon Yagami. Miss Mary has shown with one action after another that she indeed has no ill will towards me, and the facts speak louder than words.”
“……”
This time Ming Zai did not retort.
It still couldn’t help but tilt its head and say, “Why? So strong, why did you choose to be your informant, master?”
“It’s probably just a matter of interest, just like how I also like to walk around, there’s always trouble in life, so I have to find some fun for myself.”Song Shiyi looked towards the unconscious child on the ground.
Soon, reinforcements from the Board arrived late.
After going through the entire process with colleagues from the Confidentiality Bureau and the Executive Board, it was already three o’clock in the middle of the night.
The gymnasium was thrown into a busy state as the investigators surveyed the scene with various devices, trying to restore the scene that had happened earlier. It was only due to the existence of the [Drawing the Ground] that caused the scene to only leave some simple and rough traces of the fight, as well as the residual reaction from the burning of the Flame of Faith.
The Ten White Elephants were also brought under control, and were dragged back to the committee after being covered with a tarpaulin by a large vehicle.
The conclusions given by the investigators were basically the same as Ming Zai’s judgement: some individuals suspected to be Apostles had appeared near the stadium, and there had been a fierce battle with the Lian Zhen Xingjun.
However, there was no way of knowing whether both sides were dead or alive.
Half an hour later, Song Shiyi received an order from the headquarters, telling her to take the fastest flight overnight to report to the committee’s headquarters.
She knew that it should be related to Beidou.
Song Shiyi had no time to tidy up and immediately flew to the capital in a hurry.
……
On the other hand, Lu Yao sent all the Apostles back to the Pixel World.
He had also been on tenterhooks during this operation, after all, it was the first time he mobilised the Apostles to fight in a group battle in the present world, and the action was very sudden.
Fortunately, relying on the [Ghost White Horse]’s advanced camouflage, he was able to allow the Apostles to complete their infiltration one by one. In the darkness of the night, the tall divine giants and the Monk of Knowledge both smoothly entered the “trap” laid by the Lianzhen Star Monarch.
Travelling late at night with a laptop on his back, he himself also carried his [identity card] to avoid being noticed and missed.
He did everything he could.
The result was quite smooth.
The mobile phone given by Song Shiyi was directly and temporarily hosted by Lu Yao in Sand City’s [Enchantment] bar, allowing Slimer to temporarily keep it, lest it be located in real time.
Next was the loot counting session.
Lu Yao looked at the two items in his hand.
……
[God’s Grimoire]: faith +10/hour.
The seal of authority left by the initiator in the name of the main god, the holder will become a Godfinder and have the qualification to step into the multi-dimensional world.
……
Lu Yao finally figured out that a God Framer had to be at the Main God level to be crafted or coalesced, so no wonder he didn’t get this after blowing up a bunch of Trainee Gods and Gods before.
He looked towards another prop.
It was a white paper figure with a hair bun on top of its head, hollowed out eyes and mouth, and a crease on its body that looked like some sort of charm.
The paper man appeared to be one on the outside, but when touched in the hand it was a bunch.
……
[Paper Devourer Taoist Soldier LV7]: +1 faith/hour (14/49).
The paper devourer can transmit the will and ability of the controller in its entirety and control a voluntary target, the dao soldier will slowly replenish itself, the effect is related to the level.
