"Something's wrong."

Miss Shirtle took her eyes off the mask and turned to other corners in the ruins of the camp.She tapped her toes lightly, and a Qiuqiu mask, which was considered complete, fell into her hands.A certain... she felt that it was not very harmonious escaped from the pattern on the mask.Let her nerves jump a little.

These Qiuqiu people... have a problem.

Unlike the wolf, the slime, or the wind dragon Tewarin encountered earlier.In the remaining traces of these Qiuqiu people, she sensed a certain aura that was different from many other monsters.And the most intuitive manifestation of this heterogeneous aura is that it made her feel a little bit of hatred for these creatures that she had never met, strictly speaking.

She wants to kill them.

She wants to kill them all.

It was as if a small voice whispered in the ear, saying—

——They are enemies, if you don't kill them, they will come to kill you.

The voice is thin, but loud.The noise caused her to frown slightly, but the whisper disappeared invisible when she became serious.

"Strange..." Miss Shirter looked at the mask carefully again, but this time, there was no change in her heart.

Is it an illusion?

No, not an illusion.

However, the specific situation needs to be considered.

"Let's ask the locals later. The feeling from this mask... um...how is it similar to those evil things in the dark dungeon?" Stuart was confused.

She remembered the Dark Dungeon, a world of Old Gods, Familia, and tainted creatures.She really suffered a lot when fighting against those things.But in the end, she was alone in the depths of the dungeon, to face the ancient gods and bury them for good.

That was a... very unpleasant memory.

However, a feeling that was similar to the part that made her most troubled in that memory appeared here.

——There is an ominous premonition...

She put away the mask, and turned to study the traces of sword cuts on the ground, wreckage, and damaged decorations—— Lei, a one-handed sword, and it was not difficult for her to find a few petite lines around the ruins of the camp. , clearly belonging to young women's footprints.And this has undoubtedly become evidence that can be connected together and point to a clear individual.

——A girl, a very young girl with double ponytails, gorgeous and simple clothes, purple, always frowning, busy girl.

——Liyue's manager, Yuheng Xing, one of the seven stars, Ke Qing.

——But there are several doubts in it.First, as Liyue's general affairs manager, Keqing would be very normal if she slays demons in Liyue's territory.But this is Monde, which is adjacent to Liyue, but after all belongs to different kingdoms of theocracy.She has absolutely no reason to be here.

——Secondly, Keqing is indeed a strong, careful woman who can't rub the sand in her eyes.But... whether it is as a character in the game.It is also the responsibility of a manager.She should neither, nor take too much personal emotion into her 'work'.

--But……

Shirtel carefully inspected the ground, and drew a conclusion from those redundant sword marks that tore the surface and extended a long and narrow trajectory—whether the person who did it was Keqing or not.She used too much extra power when destroying the camp.And this kind of situation can only happen under two conditions-first, the person who does it can't control his own strength.Second, the hands-on person wastes part of his strength due to emotion.

——There are a lot of doubts.

The flaming-haired girl lowered her eyes, and her thinking mode quickly changed from the ease of leisurely leisure to the seriousness of war.

Yuanshin, a light-hearted story.Tevat, a peaceful continent.

These two premises misled her, deflected her thinking and ignored a lot of details—why Wendy would be wary of her?Why didn't I see the Abyss Mage when chasing Twarin?Why does Mona appear near Dawn Winery instead of Liyue?Why...why is this trip to the dream world here, and will it involve Alina?

I didn't notice it before, or I noticed it, but I didn't care.But now, it's different.

——This world must have undergone some kind of change not long ago.Some kind of change that I didn't expect, which caused the overall trend of this 9+ worldview to deviate greatly.And if what happened to me was no coincidence...

—I must find Mona immediately.

She stood up, clenched the sword tightly, and breathed lightly, the flames around her body were already flourishing—her physique became stronger, and her senses became sharper from then on.When you take a step, the distance of tens of hundreds of meters is condensed into a few steps.

From the ruins of the camp to the habitat of the frost elements, it only takes 5 minutes.

And return to the vicinity of the village from the location of the frost element.Just change five to eight.

In 8 minutes, she returned to the vicinity of the village.The gathered villages and towns a hundred meters away are still quiet and peaceful.No noise, no extra killing and gore.Everything was as peaceful as when she left.

Mona was no longer on that boulder—and rightfully so.Although there are many glowing fireflies or crystal butterflies in Tivat at night, this does not mean that the wild is a space that can stay for a long time.

Mona is gone.

But Mona presumably won't be far away.

Shirtel's gaze swept across the boulder, and she saw a lot of water stains that hadn't evaporated on the side of the stone—her gaze extended along the direction in which the water stains scattered.The more you look, the more you frown.

She saw blades of grass being crushed.See stumbling footprints.Seeing the water stains crooked and crooked, it seemed that the image of scrambling and fleeing was right in front of her.

"Mona?" she called unconsciously.And set foot on that trodden path.But she didn't take a few steps when she heard a rapid heartbeat and saw a pile of grass leaves trembling in the darkness.

"Miss Astologis?" she continued, walking and approaching.

The blades of grass trembled more—she lit the torch, illuminating a small space.Then--

She saw Miss Astrologer, who had been arguing with her more than half an hour ago, holding her head tightly in her hands, curled up and hid behind the haystack, trembling.

And after taking a few steps closer, she heard the trembling girl's rapid and thin wailing.

"I don't see anything, I don't see anything, I don't see anything, I don't see anything, I don't see anything, I don't see anything—"

And when she carefully got close enough, the whine stopped abruptly.

Shirtel, seeing Mona raised her head, glanced at herself cautiously.

Then--

The young Miss Astrologer rolled her eyes and just passed out on the grass without saying a word.

well.

It seems that the problem this time... is not as big as usual,

......................................................

Ah... I didn't expect that Section 66 was written so carefully, but it was still reported.

Painful...I originally wanted to be a double-watched beast today, but I still can't get excited...Obviously there is still time to write another section on this point.

No.90 Section [-]: Don’t Look at Things You Shouldn’t See

memory……

Memories of not so long ago flow through the mind like fine streams.

— what did you see?

The astrological girl is full of curiosity, guided by the blood stains of other people, and paid by her own talents, lightly and accurately lights up the burning torch that understands the trajectory of fate.

observe.Astrology is an ancient and authoritative art.

Using blood as a medium, one can see everything related to this blood.

"I just want to see why you are not dead, I don't touch other privacy at all." The young astrologer pressed his rather predictable chest.Swearing to herself, she used water elements to construct a mirror reflecting the starry sky.Then put the drop of dark red blood into the mirror, let the scarlet star find its own source in the reflected starry sky.

— what did you see?

The scarlet turned into light red, and the light red filled the mirror surface of the water structure.Scattered scenes appeared in the eyes of the astrologer.Messy, blurry, and few things that can be clearly distinguished are all the actions of that strange person in the village and town during the day - hugging the fat cat from the tree, reclaiming the wasteland outside the field.Putting it on an ordinary person can at least give a glimpse of the history of the previous few months, but putting it on that person will only have less than a day's effect.Even most of those visions are in the Warlock's own experience.

It’s weird.

It's incredible.

The girl's inner curiosity grew stronger.Because what is presented to the eyes is the strangeness that has never been seen-according to the rules of the astrologer.She should have stopped her movements to stop the operation of this ritual so as not to encounter an unexpected crisis.But this curiosity about the unknown pushed her forward, making her want to further obtain this unfathomable secret.

"I just take one look. Just one look, and never tell anyone."

The girl looked around, and the surrounding environment was strangely quiet.The wind no longer shakes, and the blades of grass no longer have the same name.Even the moonlight in the sky was blocked by dark clouds.Except for the light red water mirror in the palm, everything is quiet beyond expectations.

Quiet.In the silence, only the heart beating in the girl's chest was beating.

She vaguely realized that she seemed to be at a critical fork in her life.As long as this step is taken, there will inevitably be extremely drastic and huge changes in the future-maybe for the better, maybe for the worse, but it is absolutely impossible to remain unchanged.And he himself will inevitably be involved in a difficult to terrible event.

— what did you see?

The thought of retreating flashed through my mind.However, at the next moment, not long ago, the last sentence of teaching he received when he bid farewell to his mentor echoed again and again in his ears.

"Meiji, my little Meiji. If you've already made up your mind, then absolutely don't have any hesitation."

The old woman in memory is as lazy and frivolous as ever.But when I uttered this sentence, I was convinced that the sentence contained a different solemnity and determination than before - I didn't understand what it meant at that time.But now, the current situation seems to offer an explanation.

Ah... explain.On the way from Liyue to Mond, many things need to be explained.The Qiuqiu people who were just stupid, who only robbed food and drove away travelers, became violent.The treasure robbers, who were only seeking money but not killing their lives, became crazy.But those fools of Zhidong Kingdom who were domineering and tyrannical in the past, and who must take revenge, restrained their malice and disappeared—everything about Liyue was becoming strange and worrying.But can't find out what's inside.

Astrology can't give an explanation, astrology can only tell her that a huge storm is coming.The Qianyan Army moved around and no longer covered up the movement, and Liyue's Eight Sects and Seven Stars also changed from being low-key in the past to being active.Puzzling, unknown.I tried divination by myself, but was taught by the lord of heavenly power along the trajectory of the spell from a long distance away.

Being trapped in a stone prison that rose out of nowhere is not an interesting memory. Even if he can be transformed into water, the violently dissipated rock elements will use crystallization reactions to prevent him from moving the coordinates with spells—and It was for this reason that he left Liyue, which was always safe, and went to Mond after he escaped, looking for the prophesied cooperator here in advance.

The girl let out a soft breath.

"Old woman, I won't be easily frightened."

"I'm Mona, Astologis Mona Megistus. The greatest astrologer of this era, I won't retreat so easily!"

She sucked in the exhaled breath suddenly, clasped her hands together, and made a soft sound.

"I'm sorry! Miss Steele, if I see something that I shouldn't see, I will forget it and sincerely apologize to you...Apologize!"

The girl's eyes suddenly widened.The pupil of the God's Eye on the neck emits a radiance that is more blazing and bright than any previous divination.

"In my name!"

"Fate, manifest here!"

Crimson mixed with blue water, filling the field of vision.She saw the girl with antlers beside the flaming-haired female body.See the man with the sword go back to the woods and speak to a vague wind.I saw another body lying on the ground, which was the dead body of the same person as 'Shirtel'.I saw the person who buried the dead body turned upside down and walked back to the original woodland, from standing upside down to lying down.

Then--

She heard voices.

— what did you see?

The astrological girl heard this voice for the first time.

It seems to come from the sky, from the earth, from the bottom of my heart.

She didn't know if she should answer, she didn't know how to answer.An indescribable sense of crisis wrapped around her, as if tens of thousands of needles were pressing against every inch of her skin.Let her mind disorder, let her breath muddy.Let her...see that body, the world before it was born.

— what did you see?

She saw the great tree, the great tree rooted in the earth, reaching deep into the leylines, winding and binding the elements as huge as stars.The roots of the tree pierce the fissures of every ground vein, blooming in the form of flowers, swallowing the silt of the earth built by wealth and knowledge.Numerous prosperous and prosperous countries are located on the thick roots, and all the land products that people rely on for survival come from the breath of trees.

She saw that the tree was decaying, and she saw that it was flickering and converging like a starry sky, like the streamer of something beautiful was eroding the roots of the giant tree under the earth.The flickering stars soaked the elemental tides in the veins of the earth, causing the originally pure earth to gradually shift in an unfathomable direction.

— what did you see?

She saw the sky at the end of the tree.See the fabled Isle of Skye, the land of the god-walkers' pilgrimage, floating silently above the clouds.Seeing the majestic and majestic temple standing in the sky, seeing the authority of the seven gods on the ground gather here, and the power of theocracy dripping silently from the empty island.

She saw the authoritative jade throne in the center of Sky Island, and saw a goddess with white hair and black feathers, who was more dignified and noble than all the gods on the ground, was sitting on the jade throne-the goddess' eyes were slightly closed, and her white hands were hanging down on the jade throne. Next to the armrest.The slender ankles are interwoven with light-colored cloth straps.And the dark red blood dripped from the toes of the goddess.

Blood?Why is there blood?

The astrologer's heart was filled with fear in an instant, and she vaguely guessed the identity of the goddess.And this clear cognition made her notice what she hadn't been able to do before, or in other words, what her rational instinct refused to notice——

God is 'Tianli'.He is above the Seven Gods of the world, the manager of Sky Island.

God is dead.Because a spear made of stars pierced through her and nailed her to the jade throne.

The starlight that erodes the big tree in the veins originated from here.

And the source of the victory here comes from the pure sky above the island of sky.

The astrologer trembled, raised his head, and looked towards the 'above' in his cognition.And above the sky, a huge void full of cracks and cracks stood silently like an eternal star.And beyond the void, the gorgeous stars are boundless.

And the next moment-

A mechanical voice that is difficult to distinguish between male and female, old and young appeared in the ears of the warlock girl.

——"You, have seen it all."

Desperation and tremors overwhelmed her, she clutched her head, and let out a miserable scream before being overwhelmed by darkness.

..............................

"Alina! I need your help!"

The door of the hotel room was knocked a few times before being pushed open by the flaming-haired girl.Fawn, who was piled up with too many books for her, suddenly raised her head, and saw the hurriedly-looking Miss Shirtle hugging a... rather bold, fainting girl who looked like a witch rushing forward. into the room.

"Steel?" She put the nameplate on the table, which belonged to the operator of Rhodes Island, back into her pocket.Standing up, she first watched Shirter put the strange girl on the big bed and then turned her gaze slightly—she saw the hotel owner looking curiously not far from the door.And when she looked over, she showed an apologetic smile, then drove away the irrelevant residents who were watching the excitement and left.

The innkeeper was afraid of her—it wasn't exactly normal.

But Miss Steele didn't pay attention to this tiny detail.Instead, he let out a little breath after putting down the fainted girl, and cast a sorry look at her.

"Sirtel, this is..." Xiaolu, who hadn't changed her name all this time, asked politely, puzzled.
