Chapter 64: A New Mission? Final Boss
Putting down the helmet, Qingyi yawned.
Black Edge has fought many times with the Cardinal Lady Candela, and he is already familiar with the road, but he didn't expect that something would happen today - the painful Grand Duke Senman, who was fighting together, actually defected temporarily. After spending nearly thirty minutes ending the battle, Black Edge told him that only the final boss was left in front of him. In order to brush up on the equipment, the two agreed to meet again tomorrow morning, and they went offline.
It's only half past three in the afternoon. Qingyi stretched, got dressed, and went out.
After the snow, the air is cold and clean, making it refreshing to breathe. The sky was also very clear, as if all the clouds had turned into snowflakes. Birds flew across the sky, but they didn't make a call, leaving only a faint gray shadow in Qingyi's field of vision. Although the winter sun is brilliant, the warmth brought by it is always dispelled by the cold wind, and there is always a fly in the ointment. But people are like this, looking forward to summer in winter, looking forward to winter in summer, it is better to live in an air-conditioned room for the rest of your life.
On the street, people hugged their scarves tightly, and their faces were red from the cold. But on the small basketball court on the corner of the street, you can still see a group of sweaty youths, who have no concept of the seasons at all. Although Qingyi doesn't like basketball, he also took a few more glances when he passed by.
After walking for a while, he walked into a video store and asked the clerk: "Who is the most popular rapper at the moment?" Bring me a CD of him. β
"Isn't the band coming for one? Black-eyed peas? β
"Okay."
After paying, Qingyi walked into an anime store again: ""Spider-Man", "Hellboy", and "Batman" all give me a copy, I want the latest." β
"I've had it for you. Here. β
After buying the gifts, he hitchhiked straight to Cambridge Hospital, where he was familiar with Harry's room. Since that shooting, Qingyi has visited the old colleague every week to bring her own greetings. Not everyone is so free, though, at least the police officers in charge of the shootings have given up on surveillance, in their words, "resolutely not wasting taxpayers' money."
"Here you go again." A nurse opened the door for him and smiled.
Qingyi smiled and nodded, entered the ward, and sat down next to the bed.
Harry's mother wasn't here, but she left the sweater she was knitting, probably out to buy groceries. For the sake of her children, she even neglected to take care of her own small shop, which can be described as a conscientious mother. At this time, there were only Harry and Qingyi in the room, so quiet that you could hear the rhythmic snoring of the ECG. Harry was still lying on the bed, his eyes not open. According to doctors, the patient's brain tissue has healed, but his sanity has not yet recovered, and the available medical technology cannot do anything about it. The most optimistic scenario is that Harry doesn't get worse and becomes vegetative (albeit infinitely close) or brain dead.
On top of the bedside table is a laptop computer with a close-up of the face of the clouds disappearing. Qingyi stuffed the CD into the CD-ROM drive of his laptop and said with a smile: "While your mother is away, I'll put a few more songs for you to listen to." β
Of course, Harry couldn't answer.
After that, Qingyi put the magazine he bought on the table again, and there was already a thick handful there. He looked at the patient and said softly, "I probably won't be here on Christmas Day, so I'll wish you a happy holiday, Harry." β

Sunday, December 23rd.
Qingyi went online at the agreed time, and he took a look at the forum before going online, and the result was to enter the game in a good mental state. After teaming up with Black Sharp, he stepped into the Whisperer Grove first, and before he could stand still, he launched an attack - [Soul Piercing Spike]! The "Guardian of the Throne" killed a Sky Leaping Worm in a single blow, and in fact, that guy was the leader of the Sky Jumping Worm. As long as it is killed, the bugs will not be able to activate the [Anti-Signal Aura].
"Well done." The black sharp one gave a thumbs up.
"It's just a matter of learning and selling." Qingyi smiled.
After killing the carrier this time, Qingyi, in the spirit of "making the best use of everything", used the [Starry Night Gate] to awaken the host's soul fire one by one, so there was a long queue behind him. Just because the host comes back from the dead doesn't mean that the parasite can be resurrected, so these carriers can't use their abilities, only their own skills. Although they are all cannon fodder, they also speed up the progress of the dungeon a lot.
After summoning the Grand Duke of Pain Senman, Qingyi and Black Edge came to the edge of the stream, and happened to see Emas Phil, the Wind Rider. Black Fengrui was about to draw his sword, and Qingyi shouted: "Let me go!" β
[Ice Roar]!
The middle reaches of the creek (twenty meters long) froze, and the mouth of Emmasfil the Wind Rider was frozen in ice! It blinked quickly with big eyes and kept moving its short legs, as if it was very frightened! It's just a simple ice magic that makes the little boss unable to rise smoothly, and its [Dragon Breath] is wasted! Qingyi has been thinking about this tactic for a long time, and he has the opportunity to use it today, and he finally breathed a sigh of depression. The otherworldly dragon that could not rise into the air lost its threat and was nothing more than a relatively large caterpillar in the eyes of everyone.
Qingyi asked Xue Duo while letting his little brother attack, "Why are there dragons and slimes in the other world?" β
"I don't know much." Xue Duo was a little hesitant for the first time: "Maybe a long, long time ago, our two worlds communicated?" Some of the species in your world breed with us, and only the most tenacious survive, with dragons at the top of the food chain and slimes at the bottom of the food chain being the strongest. However, over time, they have evolved into something very different from their counterparts. This is my speculation. β
"Did the otherworldly creatures smuggle in?" Qingyi asked.
"Maybe, but I haven't seen it. Otherworldly creatures may live near submarine craters, in lava, or in the Arctic Circle. β
At this time, Christo, the black sharp parasite, stretched out and interjected, "There must have been an exchange!" After the 'Doomsday Confrontation', some soldiers mated + with the creatures here and gave birth to hybrids. There was a big man who showed up in person to pick up those half-breeds, and a large part of the commissioners sent over were also mixed-race children! What does this mean? This shows that there was an exchange between the two worlds in much earlier! β
"Big shots? You mean the princes? Xue Duo exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, there's one, but I can't mention his name, you just need to know that he's someone the leader trusts."
Qingyi suddenly asked: "Among the half-breeds, is there a species called 'Princess Sisi'?" β
Christo was stunned for a moment, and his translucent body swayed (should I say that it is better to look like glass and crystal, or is it better to say that it is like snot): "How do you know about the existence of Princess Sisi?" It's classified, they're all 'unconfirmed' lifeforms in our database! β
Xue Duo and Qingyi shouted at the same time: "Tell me the details!" β
"Uh, okay...... Strictly speaking, Princess Silk is not a species, and if you want to compare it, you can only compare it to the mule in your world. Mules are made from crossbreeds between donkeys and horses, but are infertile. The same goes for Princess Sisi, they have sex + organs, but no matter what species their spouse is, it is impossible to get pregnant. Christo thought for a moment and said matter-of-factly: "But if the spouse is the leader, it is a different matter, after all, the leader is so great, so noble, and so-"
"Back to business!"
With a swish, the black sharp [flicker] ran to the other side of Emasfil, inadvertently interrupting the conversation between the three of them. Qingyi hurriedly switched the perspective and continued to ask with the mouth of the little brother of the summon: "Princess Sisi can't have children?" When his daughter grows up, she can't enjoy the happiness unique to women, which makes him very nervous.
"Ah, yes. In fact, there are many mixed-race children like Princess Sisi who lack reproductive function. Princess Sisi has obvious characteristics, has the appearance of a human female, can adapt to the environment of two worlds physically (you must know that this is difficult to juggle), has racial abilities, can also learn skills and magic, and is an excellent mid-to-high-level soldier. Although the juvenile body is very weak, it only takes two or three hundred years to awaken a powerful combat power, and the probability of awakening to become a vanguard is very high. Why are the odds so high? β
It was sold, and when Qingyi asked very cooperatively, he said leisurely: "Because among the commissioners in charge of pick-up, two of them are the pioneers of Princess Sisi." β
"Isn't it! There are two vanguards in a small team, could it be the leader's personal guard?! Xue Duo shouted: "You make it clear to Uncle Ben!" Why didn't such a powerful force appear on the frontal battlefield? While you and I are fighting to the death, where are these bullshit commissioners going to be happy? β
"Calm down, calm down! The name of this team is very unfamiliar, it does not exist in the establishment at all, and I couldn't believe it when I saw it at first. All I can say is that the 'existence of hybrids' is a secret that the Vanguard cannot access. I was put on a gag order, and I shouldn't have told you that. Christo sighed, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, we are also high-level thugs, we know too many things, it's not good." It's good to think about it. β
Xue Duo scolded: "Uncle Ben doesn't mean to think about it, don't misunderstand!" β
"I said can you stop paddling!"
Brother Xiao Hei was furious, so everyone hurried to help in the battle. Even if Emas Fil broke free from the shackles of the ice, it was too late, and he died on the spot, bursting out with a mighty dragon horn helmet, which satisfied Black Edge. As soon as he put on his helmet, there was a light blue eggshell-shaped shield on the outside of his body, which was the [Atmospheric Shield] that could greatly neutralize any elemental attacks.
So everyone continued to move forward, all the way through the level, and it was a mess, but the [ray whirlwind] of the cardinal lady Candela was really sharp, and seventy percent of the resurrected carriers were killed in seconds, and Senman lost his left hand (fortunately, he did not lose his mind).
Finally, they came to a huge and majestic altar. The reason why this building is an altar is that it is simply composed of many totem poles (similar to the famous Stonehenge in England), and the religious connotation is self-evident. The totem poles are dotted with stars and form a giant ring, casting shadows reminiscent of prison railings. The strange god looked down at the adventurers who walked among the pillars, looking so cold and solemn. There wasn't any otherworldly creature noise, but it felt more dangerous.
In the center of the circle, a voice came from afar, very soft at first hearing, but after two or three seconds, it was so big that it could shake the listener's skull, wave after wave, reminding Qingyi of the tide under the long bridge of listening to the waves: "Two adults, how about betraying the race?" β
"Don't say it so badly, Gorawyton. I'm just trapped, and I'll have to go back to my hometown if I have a chance. Xue Duo's tone was unnatural.
"I've betrayed it in the truest sense of the word." The other parasite, Christo, was very calm and happy: "Hey! Everyone knows that I like to be unrestrained, and now that the war is over, am I not allowed to take a vacation? I'm not a workaholic. β
The other party's voice was low: "It's too naΓ―ve, the 'Doomsday Confrontation' is just the beginning." There will be no end to the war, either we will conquer the world, or we will all die. If the two of you were to be on opposite sides, that would be my enemy. β
("Selens is on top, how did you lead the team, and your subordinates are so extreme?") I don't just travel at public expense......" Christo complained to Xerdo)
"What are these two things? There are no signs of life, and it can burn the soul, it is simply against the law to exist! The voice asked again.
"It's a necromantic creature." Xue Duodao.
"Necromantic creatures? Haven't heard of it! β
Hearing this, Qingyi's mind turned and seemed to have grasped something. He hurriedly asked Xue Duo: "Hey, is it strong?" β
"He's the best soldier I've ever had, and he's a quasi-hero by your standards."
Qingyi smiled bitterly: "Are you kidding?!" Just me and Black Sharp, can I deal with a quasi-hero? β
At this time, the other party spoke again: "Hehe, Lord Xueduo and Master Christo, you two are actually complicit in this filthy creature, I am really disappointed in the two of you. Now it's up to me to put an end to you both and give you both warriors glory. β
