People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"plus one."

The disinfection plan for Otto was immediately approved unanimously by Xia Ling and others.

"As for the time of access... don't rush." ​​Xia Ling pondered, "There is still a month before the battle of destiny. It is hard to say what will happen by then. You can keep the soul steel body for now. Don't rush to activate it. If you activate it so early, Otto will inevitably think too much."

"So, don't stimulate him for the time being."

"Then let's wait until Ji Zi is completely rescued." Xi thought for a moment and said, "Xia Ling is going to follow Kiana by then, right? Then someone has to take care of the 'hidden' Ji Zi."

"When the time comes, let Xiao Te and the new clone take care of Ji Zi together, and then improve Xia Ling's background according to our previous ideas, so that both sides can cooperate with each other."

"Perfect, we'll talk about this later." Hai Mo nodded: "By the way, I just had a question, why didn't I see Ai Li today?"

"Uh......"

Several people looked at each other.

"Because there are some problems with Ling... There are always various problems with her rehabilitation training, and recently Yae Sakura is busy with Kallen that Otto sent her."

"So we asked Ai Li to accompany Ling in the experiment..."

Before Xia Ling finished speaking, Ai Li's voice rang out in the channel.

"Xiao Xia Ling, are you there?"

"Yes, what happened?"

"Uh... the situation is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it right away..."

"We suspect we have discovered traces of the Herrscher of Corrosion, but the situation is somewhat special, so if you are not busy, it would be best if you come to the Stigmata Space."

Ellie's voice also seemed very confused, and it was obvious that this matter might be beyond her understanding.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Looking at the communication channel that had gone silent, Xia Ling fell into deep thought.

"There's a problem with the erosion... but Ai Li doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all..."

"Could it be that you didn't clean it up properly?" Yan Wei asked.

"It shouldn't be. Su is quite reliable in this regard." Xia Ling shook her head: "I guess it might be..."

After exiting the system space, Xia Ling was about to enter the stigmata space when she found that her hand seemed to be held down by Theresa.

With a slight sigh, he pulled his hand out of Theresa's arms, covered her with a blanket, and quickly transferred his consciousness into the stigmata space.

A moment later, in the Yae Shrine, Xia Ling opened her eyes.

"Sister Xia Ling, you are finally here!"

As soon as they entered the holy scar space, Xia Ling heard a cheer of relief beside her.

"Don't worry, what happened?"

"How should I put it..."

Various small expressions with question marks appeared around Ling. After thinking for a while, Ling spit out an answer.

"Sister Xia Ling, Jizo Yuhun...seems to have given birth."

"what?"

......

Soon, Xia Ling brought Ling to the castle tower.

On the top floor of the castle tower, where the Jizo spirit is usually stored, Yaezakura and Alicia have been waiting here for a long time.

Oh, and there’s also the new resident of this stigmata space, Kallen.

"Ms. Xia Ling." Yaezakura nodded and said, "You are here."

"Well, let me see... uh..."

As soon as she got a little closer, Xia Ling saw a pink-haired ball hiding behind Ai Li, shivering.

"As you can see, this is the new change in Jizo's soul that I mentioned."

Yae Sakura introduced: "I found this little girl when I was introducing the stigmata space to Kallen. Because I had never seen her before, and she appeared near Jizo's soul, I called Ling and Ai Li."

"Then, I discovered that there was something wrong with this little guy."

Ling continued what Yaesakura said: "This little girl... She, she is more skilled in using the power of erosion than I am!"

"I've been practicing for so long, but she used the power of erosion the moment we met..."

"After discovering this, I quickly controlled her. Although she could use the power of erosion, the amount of erosion virus in my body was sufficient to directly suppress her power."

"Then...she just hid behind Ellie and refused to come out no matter what."

Seeing everyone's eyes shifting to her, Ai Li said innocently: "I just followed Ling at that time. Before I could figure out the situation, this little guy hid behind me. As for why..."

"Ellie doesn't know~"

"Ah... I think I know what's going on."

Looking at this familiar little guy, Xia Ling immediately understood what was going on.

This pink little ball is actually the Herrscher of Corrosion that was purified by Yaezakura in the original work, the Flying Fish Maru that was listed as a destiny ingredient together with Ai-chan, oh no, it’s the Scarlet Jade Maru.

"But this matter...Ellie, come here for a moment. I want to ask you a few questions alone."

Xia Ling casually threw the trembling Feiyuwan to Ling, and teleported Ai Li to the outside of the castle tower.

"What's the matter, Xia Ling?" Ai Li tilted her head: "Does this little guy have anything to do with the future you know?"

"As expected of Ellie, you can tell what I'm thinking at a glance."

Xia Ling sighed: "I originally thought that this little guy would not appear after I changed the original development direction..."

"So, she is indeed the Herrscher of Corrosion?"

"That's right. The original trend was that Yaezakura successfully purified the Hiyukumaru, and this little fellow, Hiyumaru, is the product of the purification."

"Now it seems that there may be something special about the Herrscher of Corrosion that prevents him from dying so easily, which led to the appearance of Higyokumaru."

"However, this may explain why Ling's control over the power of erosion is not very high. After all, compared to Ling, this little guy is more like the original Herrscher of Erosion."

"As for why she has to get close to you..." Xia Ling looked at Ai Li, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

"Hmm~ Of course it's because the cute fairy lady looks the most friendly?"

Ellie puffed out her chest proudly.

"Ahem, I'll just leave it at that..." Xia Ling sighed helplessly.

"But Ai Li, I have a question for you." Xia Ling's eyes became serious, and she looked at Ai Li seriously: "What is your first impression of Fei Yu Wan, or how do you feel about her so far?"

Chapter 60: Flying Fish Balls, a Famous Ingredient of Tianming

"First impression? Hmm..."

Ai Li pondered for a moment and replied: "I think...she shouldn't be a bad kid, right?"

"Is that so? Well, I have an idea now."

Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

As everyone knows, Alicia's ability to judge people is incredibly accurate, and she even has an almost intuitive ability to distinguish between good and evil.

Although we know that the Higyokumaru is most likely harmless, it is, after all, the Higyokumaru that was created after the plot changed, so it is not 100% safe.

However, since Alicia thinks that this Feiyuwan is not a big threat, Xia Ling can adopt a slightly gentler approach.

"How's it going, Xia Ling, is there any result?"

As soon as Xia Ling and Ai Li appeared in the castle tower, Yaezakura asked immediately.

"Well, it is basically certain that this little guy is the Herrscher of Corrosion."

Xia Ling nodded.

"bass--"

The spiritual sword Sakura Fubuki on Yaezakura's waist was instantly half unsheathed.

"In that case, I don't have to worry about accidentally hurting innocent people."

"Wait wait wait! Big sister, I am innocent!"

Fei Yuwan, who was wrapped in a net bag made of green corrosive viruses, immediately began to struggle and cry.

"Hold on, Yaesakura, I'm not done yet."

Xia Ling quickly held down Yaezakura's hand, fearing that she would chop Feiyumaru into pieces without paying attention.

"Although this little girl is the Herrscher of Corrosion, she is not the previous Feiyuwan."

"If I must say, this should be considered a new consciousness. As for the name... can we call her Higyokumaru?"

"New consciousness?" Yaezakura tilted her head and twitched her long fox ears a few times: "Will there be any danger?"

"As long as we educate her properly, there shouldn't be any danger. After all, Ling will share the power with her this time, and Ling also has the erosion virus to help her. At least we will have more protection."

"Then what do you mean..."

"Well, keep it for now, and cut it later if it doesn't work."

Feiyuwan, who was about to jump up excitedly, instantly wilted again.

"But... since she also has the power of erosion, so, Suzu, please take care of her. If necessary, you can also ask Mebius to help take a look."

Xia Ling looked at Ling who was playing with the Feiyuwan and said.

"Well, don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Ling nodded happily, and was obviously very satisfied with this little pet-like guy. However, Xia Ling found that Feiyuwan's body seemed to tremble. It was not known whether it was because of Feiyuwan's previous memory or some other reason, but Feiyuwan seemed to be a little afraid of Ling.

"I always feel like... there are more and more people in the Stigmata space."

Looking at Yae Sakura and Kallen, then at Ling and Hiyomaru beside them, Xia Ling fell into deep thought.

......

The issue regarding the Holy Mark Space was temporarily resolved, and Xia Ling followed Hyperion back to the Far East Branch the next day.

Otto was very honest and trustworthy to the time he set. He said half a day and it meant half a day. After quickly dealing with the remaining events in Oceania, Otto began to arrange for Yulandel and Rita to bring their people back to the Savior Headquarters. At the same time, the Far East Branch also ended its support and returned along the original route.

Otto himself simply turned off this soul steel body, adjusted it to the initialization state, and gave it to Hai Mo. As for whether there was any backup left in the body, Hai Mo had no way of knowing. However, now was not the time to use it, so she was not in a hurry.

Anyway, by the time this body is activated, Xia Ling will most likely have already fallen out with Otto. By then, she will be cleansed up with the Ksitigarbha Soul, and any backup plan will be useless.

On the other hand, due to the heavy losses suffered by the radical faction of Anti-Entropy in the previous battle against Yulandel, many members were impeached. Tesla and Einstein also took this opportunity to gather a large number of formerly neutral and radical forces, which greatly increased their strength.

As the forces of all parties gradually calmed down, Haimo and Wendy's lives began to get back on track. The Flame Reed Group on the Coral Island also lived a peaceful life. These two people would not be able to touch the main storyline for a while, so they got a rare rest time.

As for Xia Ling...because the previous support mission of the Oceania branch was very urgent, many people simply dropped their work and boarded the Hyperion. The consequence of this was naturally that they were faced with a messy scene in the academy after returning from the support.

During the previous Chiyou Battle and the Manila Collapse, although the Far East Branch also launched the attack at the first opportunity, they usually did not go out in full force like this time. For example, during the Chiyou battle, it was Xia Ling who was responsible for staying in the academy and handling the affairs during the period.

And this time... judging from the pale expression on Theresa's face after returning to the academy, it was probably not that easy.

At this moment, Theresa might have begun to regret why she didn't tie Otto to St. Freya's College to help her with the work.

Of course, this is just thought. Given Saint Freya's current condition, even if Otto really came, Theresa would never dare to let him deal with it.

So, naturally, Theresa thought of the person who helped her complete this task when she left the academy.

Then......

"Help me, Xia Ling-chan! If Xia Ling-chan didn't help me with my work, wow, Darcy!"

"What does it take for Xia Ling to be willing to help me with the work? As long as I can do it, I am willing to do anything!"

Xia Ling was inexplicably called to the principal's office, and was shocked by Theresa who coaxed her into doing some work.

"Wait, don't, don't pull my leg ring! I, I'll help you with the work..."

"Where did you learn these weird ways of asking for favors?"

However, at this moment, a sound suddenly came from the door of the principal's office.

"Theresa? Why did you ask me to come? You don't have any work to do and you want me to help you..."

Ji Zi pushed the door open and saw Theresa hugging Xia Ling's thighs in the office, while Xia Ling was shyly covering her skirt and was stunned for a few seconds.
