Chapter 188 "Dialogue"

"Sister Xia Ye... Sister Xia Ye?"

"what?"

"Sister Xia Ye... what are you looking at?"

"...It's nothing." Xia Ye buried the memories of her sister back in her heart, then turned her head and said, "Let's go home."

"Okay... ah, sister Xia Ye wait for me a little longer!"

After Lilian finished speaking, she ran into the big pit formed by the self-explosion, searched for a while, bent down to pick it up, and trotted back to Xia Ye's side.

"Almost forgot about this."

She held a thin piece of crystal between her fingers, and a cartoon picture of a cat's head was drawn on one corner of the crystal. This was the only "Meow Meow Bond" issued by Xia Ye.

"With such a powerful explosion, it didn't even lose a single horn." Xia Ye was surprised.

"Well, anyway, it's really great that it's still there. This is a bond that sister Xia Ye specially issued to Lilian. It must be kept well."

In fact, it was sent to Xiuji... Xia Ye thought to herself, but seeing the girl put the crystal into her body bag with care, she didn't say anything else.

"Let's go home, my broom...ah, it was also blown up, can sister Xia Ye give me a ride?"

"Okay, in that case, is your crystal ball gone?"

"what……"

"Let's go shopping together tomorrow, and I'll give it to you."

"Okay! But Lilian can just buy it herself, no sister Xia Ye, Hua Moer..."

"It's okay, your sister can't run out of Mordor now." After all, the debt has just been paid~
"Then let's go first, Victoria."

"Goodbye, Victoria."

"Well, I still have something to do, you go first."

Xia Ye and Lilian boarded the BRM430 and flew towards home.Victoria looked at them, and waited until the figures of the two disappeared before raising the scissors and slashing lightly in front of her.

A colorful rift opened, and Victoria stepped into it. When she walked out of the rift again, she had already reached the top floor of the "Ether Prospecting" headquarters building.

This floor is divided into three areas: the city lord's office, the city lord's personal rest area, and the secretary's office area.

Victoria is currently located in the city lord's office.There is only a table and a chair in the huge office, other than that, there are no other facilities - they will only appear when the city lord needs them, but most of the time, they have no chance to appear.

Behind the desk is a huge glass curtain wall.This is the tallest place in the entire Debuso Tower except for the dome. Through the glass, you can have a panoramic view of the upper, middle and lower urban areas with obvious differences in building heights. However, if you look up from places other than the upper urban area, you cannot see this building—because around Uptown, there are "Silk Curtain" deeds.

The city lord was sitting on the chair behind the table, with his head down, and seemed to be holding something in his hands.Victoria couldn't see clearly, because the other party covered herself with shadows, and it looked like a silhouette, with only outlines and no details.

She walked to a place three meters away from the desk, stopped, reached into her bosom, took out a crystal, and tossed it lightly, and the crystal fell right in front of the other party.

But the silhouette didn't look at it, and instead asked, "Are you hurt?"

"It's not thanks to you." Victoria said bluntly.

"I tried my best, that moth beast is very difficult to deal with... I didn't mean to fish." In front of Victoria, the Lord of the City had no airs at all, and instead justified himself a little coquettishly.

"Hmph." Victoria didn't pursue further, and said, "Look at this."

Only then did Silhouette pinch the crystal with his fingers and observe it in front of his eyes: "What is this?"

"I cut it from a moth beast."

"How big is it?"

"You'll know if you let it out."

The silhouette tossed the crystal lightly, followed by a flick of a finger, a streak of black flame flew out, hit the crystal in mid-air, and engulfed it immediately.

The crystal melted like ice in the black flame, and the white fragments inside lost their confinement and immediately returned to their original shape.

The fragment is huge, more than [-] meters long and more than ten meters wide. If it weren't for the office being big enough and empty enough, it wouldn't even be able to accommodate it.Seeing that it was about to crash to the ground from mid-air, the black flame suddenly turned into a giant palm, grasped the fragment firmly, and then stood it upright, facing the desk.

The city lord finally saw its whole picture, it was a face.

Or rather, most of the face.It can be seen from the direction of the knife edge that Victoria was cut obliquely, so this face lacked a left eye and a small half of the forehead.

But from the remaining part, it can still be easily recognized that this is a standard female face.Moreover, its beauty is comparable to that of a witch.

But a witch wouldn't have such a big face, and her skin wouldn't have the texture of a stone carving.

The city lord looked at it, watched it quietly for a while, and asked, "What does its body look like?"

"Not human," Victoria said.

"Is it dead?"

"No, it ran away with other faces. If it wasn't for cutting one out, I wouldn't have been hurt."

"Others..." the city lord thought thoughtfully, "How many cards does it have in total?"

"There are always dozens of them. I was besieged by a lot of moth beasts, so I don't have time to count them carefully."

The city lord didn't answer any more. She looked at the giant face in front of her silently, then raised her hand suddenly, and made a turning gesture. The giant black flame hand turned accordingly, revealing the back of the giant face.

There is nothing on the back, smooth as a mirror, like a simple rock, without any structure.

"If they have nothing to do with us, why can they grow faces so similar to ours, and some abilities are similar to contract abilities; if they are related to us, where do they come from? Why is there no structure in the body? That's right—I caught The half that came back also didn't have any internal structure."

The castellan seemed to be asking Victoria, and seemed to be muttering to himself.

"It's your job to study how to deal with moth beasts, you should know better than me," Victoria said.

"In recent years, they have become stronger and stronger. Following the trend, even you and I may not be their opponents. I brought this face back because I have never seen such a thing before. I hope If it is useful to you, if there is nothing else, I will go first."

After speaking, the girl carried the scissors, turned around and was about to leave.

"and many more."

The city lord stopped her from behind.

"You still believe that plan didn't fail?"

"..."

"Why? That person is obviously not...not her. Do you think that the price of 'praying' cannot be wasted, so you use a broken cup as a good one?"

The other party's provocation didn't make Victoria angry. She was silent for a few seconds before asking: "If the plan fails, then she should not be important. If she is not important, why would the moth beast want to kill her?"

"..." This time it was the city lord's turn to be silent.

Victoria continued: "My lord, have you ever thought that even if the plan is successful, it may not be in the way you want. What you really care about is not whether the plan is successful or not, but 'her'. Is it really si..."

"shut up!"

The air behind him suddenly became hot.Victoria didn't speak any more. She turned her back and waved her hand as a farewell to the other party. Then, with a stroke of the scissors, a crack was torn open, and she walked in, disappearing without a trace.

The city lord was still holding the thing in his hand and sitting on the chair.She had calmed down, and understood that Victoria's words were just a counterattack to the provocation, and it was ridiculous that she couldn't hold her breath.

She tore off the shadows, revealing long black hair and a beautiful young face.The girl lowered her head again, looking at the thing between her arms——

a head.

The head has pure white hair, lifeless but beautiful crimson eyes, and a face somewhat similar to that of a girl.

This is the head of Xia Ye.

The girl stared at the flawless and beautiful face, her eyes were blurred, her lips were slightly opened and closed, and she kept mumbling to it.After a long time, the girl finally ended the "conversation" and stood up holding her head.

She walked to one side of the office, and as the girl approached, the wall silently slid open to both sides, revealing the secret room behind the wall.

On the three walls of the secret room, hundreds of square grids are densely covered, and a head is placed in each grid.

Some of them opened their eyes, and some closed them tightly, but each head had exactly the same appearance as the one in the girl's hand.

The girl raised her head in her hands, and her warm lips slowly pressed against her cold forehead. After half a minute, she reluctantly parted.

She carefully put it into the vacated grid, turned and left the secret room.
