The Blind Swordsman of the Kiana House

"Thousands of thousands."

"leaves of dead leaves."

Chiba's answer came leisurely.

"Chiba..."

Ji Zi lowered his head, muttering the name thoughtfully.

She raised her head suddenly, just about to continue to ask Qianye, but Qianye's figure had long since disappeared and was no longer in her sight.

"Are you leaving..."

Ji Zi stayed where she was, looking ahead with a slightly dull gaze.

The cold wind of Siberia was blowing, but it still couldn't bring her back to her senses.

For her at this moment, all this was too dreamlike, like a dream.

The willow eyebrows were raised slightly, and the long fiery red hair that was rotten like the setting sun fluttered in the wind.

Chiba left.

But he was still thinking about what happened just now in his mind.

The reason why Qianye told Jizi her name was because she had other plans.

One day in the future, Chiba may need Ji Zi's help, and this "favor" is an opportunity.

Of course, just a very simple thing.

For Ji Zi, it was completely easy to do.

But for the future Qiyana and Chiba, it is very difficult.

"But I still hope that one day..."

"Don't come."

Qianye murmured softly in her heart.

The heart sank again slowly.

Even if it is hope, Qianye knows that this "hope" is too slim, too pale, and has no credibility at all.

Even he himself felt that his hope was completely extravagant, and it was impossible for it to happen.

It is precisely because of this that Chiba thinks about the future, and thinks of an extra guarantee for Qiyana's future.

In fact, what Chiba thought was very simple.

In this world, which is almost equivalent to "the end of the world", the end will come sooner or later.

In the "remaining" time, what happened to others had nothing to do with him.

No matter how bad the world is, no matter how the world is, he can guarantee that he and his family will be alone.

Never had other big dreams.

Crash is also good.

Honkai God is also good.

Destiny, World Snake, Anti-Entropy, none of these have anything to do with him.

From the beginning to the end, he only had one thought, that is to guard the girl beside him, hearing her laughter every day, and being able to live happily with her is enough.

This is Chiba's idea.

but....

Chiba doesn't know.

Maybe he already understood.

From the moment he made his choice, from the moment he drew his sword, everything was destined to happen.

The moment the gears of fate start turning, the resulting vortex engulfs everything.

Even Qianye can't be alone.

Because the center of the vortex is the girl he wants to protect.

He can only hold the sword in his hand, keep everything out, carry the darkness on his back, and leave behind the light.

......

.......

Destiny headquarters.

Office of the Archbishop.

At this time, Amber was reporting the important things that happened during this period.

"Sir Bishop."

"That strange energy reappeared in our detection equipment."

"But this time..."

"It seems to be stronger than last time, as if it has become stronger."

Amber re-reported to him the energy response in Siberia that Otto asked her to intensify the detection last time.

"Has it become stronger..."

"However, haven't you found any detailed records about this energy?"

"Or, is this a mutation of Houkai energy, which produces a brand new "energy"?"

Otto tapped the table lightly, and the rhythmic sound represented his inner thinking state at this moment.

"No Houkai reaction was detected."

"as always."

"However, the research department has started an investigation according to your order."

"It will take some time to see results."

Amber narrated slowly.

On the other hand, Otto squinted his eyes, did not continue to speak, turned his chair, and looked northwest.

"Could it be..."

"Have you mastered a new power, Siegfried?"

Otto whispered in his heart.

Recalling "that look" when I first met Siegfried.

It's hard not to think that this is Siegfried's power.

But why would he be exposed again.

This couldn't help but make Otto feel a little weird in it.

It appears that further investigation is needed.

Chapter 53: Has Otto noticed this?

After rescuing Jizi, Chiba wiped out a Houkai Beast, and it was already evening.

Then he returned to the area where the group of Houkai beasts had been killed before, felt a little bit, and after feeling nothing unusual, he also walked towards home.

It seems that Ji Zi has left this snow field safely.

It is estimated that this will also be a safe place.

Even if she wanted to come to this snowfield again to find what she was looking for, she would come fully armed and would not fall into this dangerous situation again.

Qianye is now considering whether to tell Siegfried about this matter.

After all, Jizi is the man of destiny, and Qianye told her name again, this matter is in a sense no small matter.

After much deliberation, Chiba decided to tell Siegfried.

As an elder, Siegfried should have the right to know about this matter, not to mention that Ji Zi is still a man of destiny.

Go home.

Seeing Qianye coming back, Qiyana enthusiastically "swooped" towards Qianye.

"Chiba!"

Kiyana hugged Chiba with a happy smile on her face, like a lively elf.

"Well, I'm back."

Being hugged by Kiyana, Chiba responded softly.

"Wash your hands and eat."

"I've heated up the food."

At this time, Siegfried poked his head out from the kitchen and called out to Qianye and Qiyana.

"Come on, come on."

After hearing that the meal was served, Kiyana took Chiba to the bathroom.

Even knowing that Chiba can "see", Kiyana is still as usual, leading Chiba to wash her hands and things like that.

Such a seemingly meaningless move was what Kiyana wanted to do.

And Qianye also understands the significance of what Qiyana did to her, and she also allows Qiyana to be "at the mercy of" without saying anything.

........

Dinner is over.

For talking to Siegfried about what happened this year.
