Human, am I evil?

However, Jin Wu also felt that Di Ruiji's inference was correct. If it really disappeared, how should the abnormality two years ago be explained?What about those outliers?

No matter what, these are very important pieces of information, and must be reported to the General Affairs Department immediately for Qixing to review and make corresponding decisions.

Kritov and the abnormal objects have been handed over to Jin Wu, and it is time to continue the exploration.

Although I still care about it, now is not the time to pay attention to those things. It is the task of their exploration team to explore the internal state deeply and find out the problems.

"...Huh? This feeling..."

As soon as he entered the tunnel, Di Ruiji felt a different aura. This aura did not belong to the layered rock abyss, it was a bit similar to the lumen stone they held in their hands.

"That's the thing. After the miners discovered that thing, the lumen stone began to grow wantonly in the stratum rock abyss. There must be some kind of connection between them. Judging from its appearance, it is a bit similar to what sister Xia told me Fragments of Longji Snow Mountain."

Speaking of this, Zhiqiong said with some excitement: "Do you think there will be unknown ancient civilizations under the layered rock abyss? The same is true for the ancient tombs above Longji Snow Mountain."

"It's not impossible, but I recall what Di Ruiji told me when I first came in, that in the distant past, a star fell on the land of Liyue, and that's how the present layered rock abyss was born. Could this thing... be a fragment of the star that fell from the sky at that time?"

"Eh? It seems...it's not impossible."

Zhiqiong fell into deep thought. She had obviously read that ancient book and knew about the legend.

"However, there is no evidence to prove these. If you want to figure it out, you need more exploration to figure out the situation."

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Zhiqiong clutched her chest in discomfort, as if something bad happened to her body, which made her frown.

"You...what's the matter with you? Zhiqiong. Could it be that you were injured in the previous battle?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable suddenly."

"Why do you feel uncomfortable? Could it be that you ate something bad?"

Zhiqiong shook her head: "It's that thing, it and the lights give me a bad feeling. It's like motion sickness or seasickness, I feel dizzy. But... this level of discomfort is still okay The scope of control, don't worry about me."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. If it was just like this, it would indeed be a small problem, but... I always feel that the problem is not that simple.

It's better to deal with this matter first, so that Zhiqiong can feel better by the way.

Volume 351: [-]: The Upside Down City

"Zhiqiong, if you could have the Eye of God, what element would you like to master?"

"what?"

This time, Di Ruiji did not go down with Ying and Shen He to contact the mechanism of unknown objects, but stayed on the high platform with Zhiqiong.

With nothing to do, Di Ruiji couldn't help but find a topic, wanting to see which elemental power Zhiqiong wanted to master.

Zhiqiong obviously didn't expect that Di Ruiji would ask this question, and she didn't think too much about it, thinking that Di Ruiji was just looking for a topic, and after a little thought, she came to the answer.

"If you have to say it...it should be fire."

"Fire? Why?"

Thinking carefully about the people I know who master the fire element, their personalities seem to be very lively... Ah, I almost forgot about Di Luke, this one is quite silent, no matter how I look at it, I can't say he is lively.

Zhiqiong also has that kind of active personality, do people with this kind of personality like fire elements?Di Ruiji felt that he seemed to have discovered a certain pattern.

"Because fire is the most needed and most useful element in adventure."

Zhiqiong said earnestly: "When I went on an adventure in the snow mountain before, I wondered if I could master the element of fire, then I would not be cold. Don't worry if there is no match, the firewood will not light. In places where there is no light, you can pass through the fire. elements to make light sources."

In short, there are all kinds of things that are very beneficial to adventure. This guy doesn't care about combat at all. He just wants to take risks and explore more and more interesting things.

"You really like adventures, Zhiqiong. You don't worry about accidents during some adventures, and you disappear into this world without a sound?"

Zhiqiong's smile froze, and he nodded: "Of course I know there is such a possibility, but if I shrink back because of fear, I won't be an adventurer from the beginning."

"Actually... There are many people who object to my becoming an adventurer. In their opinion, as a girl, I don't have the eyes of God. It is too dangerous to blindly enter unknown places to explore."

"But so what? There is no adventurer who can avoid being involved. If I want to be with Anwen and Boring, I would rather choose danger. Compared with those who have the eyes of God, [Adventure] this Whether it is the behavior itself or the meaning of exploration and challenge, only ordinary people like us with mortal bodies can understand it.”

"..."

It's so dazzling, such a Zhiqiong always feels that giving her strength here will make her light less dazzling.

Di Ruiji didn't know what to do for a while. In the past, giving strength to others could help them a lot, but giving Zhiqiong strength here always felt that it would affect her.

But...she really needs strength to support her risky actions. It's nothing to have people like them protecting her now, but without them, what should Zhiqiong do?

Not to mention monsters, the silt scattered in the layered rock abyss was already too much for Zhiqiong's body.

"Compared to ordinary people without power, don't you want to be a capable adventurer?"

"Of course it's better to become a capable adventurer. As long as I become a powerful person, Sister Jinwu won't worry about me, and I don't have to be blocked by various obstacles like now, unable to move forward."

She wants to have power, not because she wants to become stronger, but because she wants to be able to go to more places.

Those places are beyond the reach of ordinary people, but if you have the ability, it will be different.

Di Ruiji nodded, and began to think about whether to give Zhiqiong the magic orb. On her terms, making her his disciple was a good choice.

【boom! 】

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration on the ground, and I saw that Ying and the others had cracked all the mechanisms, and those abyssal apostles who jumped out to obstruct them were also defeated.

After the three switches were activated, the prototype object floating in the air suddenly started to move, directly smashing out a deep hole below, looking from the top down, the kind that could not see the end.

"Phew~ I feel much better. Sure enough, the uncomfortable feeling was brought by that thing and the light."

Zhiqiong took a deep breath, the uncomfortable feeling just now was really caused by that thing, now that the thing is gone, she feels much better.

After dealing with the problem, Ying and Shen He came back, seeing Zhiqiong whose situation had improved a lot, couldn't help looking at Di Ruiji.

Di Ruiji blinked, and began to look at Zhiqiong left and right, which made Zhiqiong somewhat puzzled by her performance.

Why are you looking at her like that?Is there something on her?Or... Or is there something wrong with my body, the time is approaching!

It's like when you go to a Chinese medicine doctor, the doctor is still smiling, but when he takes the pulse, the smile on the doctor's face disappears instantly, and another round of speeches such as "How old are you this year?" makes the effect even more outstanding.

"You... what are you doing, Miss Di Ridge. Please don't do this, it's a little scary."

"No, nothing. Just thinking about one thing, no big deal."

Di Ruiji took Zhiqiong's hand and came to the side, made her sit on a rock, put his hand on her forehead, injected vitality into her body, and nourished her body.

Zhiqiong only felt warm all over, as if lying on the grass basking in the sun, feeling dizzy and comfortable at the same time.

"Slightly affected, but it's okay. Take a little rest and you'll be back to health soon."

"But...I can't stop yet. My mission is not finished yet."

"It's very important to combine work and rest. When you recover, you can continue to act. Now be obedient and get a little sleep, you know?"

"...Yes."

Just like that, Zhiqiong, who had no resistance at all, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

When Di Ruiji was about to pick up Zhiqiong, he realized that her figure was not suitable for this action. Fortunately, Shen He knew that Di Ruiji could not do it, so he took the initiative to take the task and took Zhiqiong Hug up.

"Let's get her back to the camp and let someone else take care of her and move on."

This suggestion was recognized by everyone, Zhiqiong was no better than them, and really needed to take a good rest.

On the way back, Ying couldn't help but ask them what they were talking about up there, Di Ruiji didn't hide anything, and spoke out his thoughts.

"Is that so, you want to give Zhiqiong [Magic Orb] and let her become your disciple."

"It doesn't matter what the believer is. The main thing is that I appreciate her adventurous heart. If she is given a magic orb, she will definitely be able to travel to more places."

"Is that a good thing? Although it will hurt a little when you accept it, Zhiqiong is definitely willing to accept such a small price."

Paimeng is also very happy that Zhiqiong can be favored by Di Ruiji, and he believes that Zhiqiong, who has the ability, will definitely shine brighter.

"But you didn't give Zhiqiong the magic orb, but healed her body. Why? Does her answer make you dissatisfied?"

What Di Ruiji did just now was obviously not to give her a magic orb, but to heal her body.

Is this when she is ready to fully recover?Or did one of Zhiqiong's answers make Di Ruiji dissatisfied and make Di Ruiji give up giving her the magic orb?

"Let's put it aside for now. It's not too late to see what she's doing next. This time, the exploration of the layered rock abyss will not end so soon. I plan to take a look and make a decision after a while."

This time she didn't tell the truth, but only answered half-truths, telling Ying not to go too far, she will handle this matter well.

When sending Zhiqiong back, Jinwu was working on something in front of the workbench. Hearing the movement behind her, she turned around and saw Shen He coming back with Zhiqiong in her arms. She thought something happened and ran over in a hurry .

Knowing that Zhiqiong was just asleep, Jin Wu heaved a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to tidy up Zhiqiong's hair with some blame.

"This girl... said not to work so hard, why didn't she listen?"

"Don't blame her, Sister Jinwu. Zhiqiong also wants to help. She tries to reach some dangerous places, and she also wants to draw a complete map so that those who come in behind can avoid those dangers."

Paimeng couldn't help saying a few good words for Zhiqiong, but Jinwu didn't know?

Of course she understands these things, but knowing it doesn't mean she is willing to see Jin Wu take risks.

But Zhiqiong just refused to listen to the persuasion, which made her angry and deeply helpless at the same time. All she could do was to say meaningless accusations and warnings.

"Please... take good care of this girl during this survey. Even if you will leave halfway, I hope you can take care of her while you are here, okay?"

Ying nodded, and she couldn't let Zhiqiong go. Although she had other tasks, she didn't mind taking care of Zhiqiong while exploring.

After all...she is her junior as an adventurer, isn't it a matter of course for her to take care of her junior as a senior?

After receiving Ying's answer, Jin Wu smiled with satisfaction, took Zhiqiong from Shen He's arms, carried her to the rest area next to her, and let her have a good rest there.

After doing this, they left the camp and prepared to continue heading towards the depths of the stratum rock abyss. In front of them was the area that the miner asked them to investigate. They hoped to investigate the reason for the abnormal behavior of the Qiuqiu people here.

only....

"What's going on with that upside-down city? It's like the filthy inverted statue I saw before."

Paimon looked at the upside-down city in front of him with some discomfort. Why is there this under the layered rock abyss?And it's so similar to the Abyss Cult?

Could it be that the Abyss Religion has some secret plan to implement here?

"By the way, let's investigate. If this city is really related to the Abyss Cult, if we don't deal with it, the rest of the survey team will be in danger."

Everyone nodded. This problem really needs to be solved, but before they could act, a vision came from behind, which was the portal opened by the Abyssal Order.

Everyone entered into a state of battle. When they thought that the apostle of the abyss would come out of it, it was unexpected.

"Dyne?"

Volume 352: [-]: The Truth About the Qiuqiu People

"Dyn? Why did you appear here? And... still in this way."

Ying looked at Daiinsreb warily, she had to be wary, the way he appeared just now was exactly the same as the Abyssal Apostle.

Combined with the connection with the Abyss Religion here, it is necessary for Ying to wonder whether Dynes Reb has experienced anything during this period of time, or has become someone from the other side of the abyss.

"Can't you see? I have been following the footsteps of the abyss apostle and successfully captured him. It's just... that guy used the same trick when I cornered him. In order to prevent him from escaping , I followed closely into the portal, and ended up here.”

"You followed him into the portal? Then why didn't you appear with the Abyss Apostle? Instead, you came here alone?"

Paimon couldn't understand that since he entered with the Abyss Apostle, there should be two people.

"There is a possibility that the portal of the abyss apostle is not point-to-point, but a network, just like a spider web or a leyline."

Di Ruiji expressed his judgment: "This caused them to be teleported to different places even though they entered the same portal."

"Well, I think so too. I can't decide the location of the teleportation like they do, but they can do it. But... this place has never been here, since you are here, you should know what it is here place?"

"This is the layered rock abyss, and it's quite a deep place." Paimon explained.

"Layer rock... Juyuan? Is it here?" Dyensleb was obviously a little surprised, "It's actually a place I've never been to, but... the transmission network of the abyss will also exist here? "

"This means that there is something here that is worth letting the abyss set up the teleportation node here. Is this what you want to express?"

Dyensreb nodded: "That's right, it's really convenient to talk to smart people. It's impossible for the Abyss Religion to do meaningless things. The reason why they set up teleportation points here must be to do something here."

"If my hunch is correct, the purpose of the Abyssal Order may be related to this upside-down city."

Daiinsreb quietly observed the surroundings, his eyes on the light source not far away, where there was a burning fire.

"The upside-down city... do you know something, Dyne. Tell us, okay?"
