"Sigh? It’s actually..." "Qiqi" also noticed Su Yuan and Zhongli’s arrival and asked: "Who were you again... uh, I seem to have forgotten..." "I remember your faces, but I’ve forgotten your names..." "I’m Su Yuan, and he’s Zhongli..." Su Yuan replied. "Qiqi, why are you doing this?" Su Yuan looked at "Qiqi," wondering—could it be due to her original personality? Even after being tainted and controlled by the Eerie, Qiqi still seemed somewhat forgetful and slow... Compared to the Eerie they had encountered before, this "Qiqi" was undoubtedly much calmer, not nearly as frenzied... "You’re asking me... why I’m doing this?" "It’s simple..." "They just want to survive—what wrong have they done?" "Since I have the ability, of course I should help them fulfill that wish..." "But like this — without reason, like walking corpses — can that really be called living?" Su Yuan spoke: "Not only that, but they also harm others, turning them into zombies too. Is that really okay?" "Enough, Su Yuan, don’t say any more..." Zhongli stopped Su Yuan from continuing and said: "Although Qiqi’s current eerie form is indeed different from the others..." "These are your own words — reasoning with the Eerie doesn’t work..." "The minds of the Eerie can’t be understood with common sense..." "Oh... I see now..." At that moment, "Qiqi" suddenly spoke: "You’re here to stop me from saving people, aren’t you..." "You’re bad people. Qiqi must eliminate you..." As she spoke, "Qiqi" drew the one-handed sword at her side and charged at Su Yuan and Zhongli, slashing at them! But unexpectedly, "Qiqi’s" attacks appeared stiff and sluggish, completely different from those previously controlled by the Eerie... Now that he thought about it, even the zombified Millelith soldiers outside just now also seemed rather stiff and slow. Although their physical strength had greatly increased, their speed had dropped significantly... In the past, those controlled by the Eerie would have both their speed and strength enhanced significantly — but that didn’t seem to apply to "Qiqi"... "Zhongli, although Qiqi has already been tainted and controlled by the Eerie, she actually seems easier to deal with than any of the others before..." Su Yuan said to Zhongli: "Her speed is very slow — she can’t even catch up to us, let alone pose a threat..." "We can first evacuate the Millelith soldiers still in the ward to prevent Qiqi from turning them into zombies, then find a way to uncover the cause of her Eerie transformation — and help her return to normal..." But just as Su Yuan was speaking, "Qiqi" muttered to herself from the side: "Ah... my body feels a bit stiff..." "Time to do some flexibility exercises to restore mobility..." As she spoke, "Qiqi" tossed aside her one-handed sword and began doing flexibility exercises, even calling out as she moved: "One-two-Qiqi... Two-two-Qiqi... Three-two-Qiqi..." After finishing a simple set of stretches, "Qiqi" picked up the one-handed sword again and turned her gaze toward Su Yuan and Zhongli... But this time, her movements were no longer stiff or slow. Her figure became a blur as she used the Ancient Sword Art, appearing right in front of Su Yuan and Zhongli in an instant! And Zhongli immediately grabbed a White Tassel spear from a nearby Millelith soldier, clashing directly with the longsword in "Qiqi’s" hand! All of this happened in a flash. If Zhongli hadn’t intervened, Su Yuan would likely have already been cut down by "Qiqi’s" sword... Su Yuan couldn’t believe it—how had "Qiqi," who was just moments ago stiff and slow, suddenly returned to a normal Eerie state with such terrifying speed and strength after merely doing a set of stretches? "Su Yuan, leave this to me..." While clashing with "Qiqi," Zhongli spoke to Su Yuan: "Go and evacuate the injured Millelith soldiers from Bubu Pharmacy. I’ll hold off Qiqi." "But..." Su Yuan said with concern, "Qiqi has undergone a complete Eerie transformation. Even though I know you’re a martial god and incredibly skilled... can you really handle Eerie Qiqi?" "What do you mean by that!!!" Upon hearing Zhongli’s words, "Qiqi" shouted furiously: "If you take them out of the ward, how am I supposed to save them???" Hearing this, Su Yuan suddenly realized something... Why is "Qiqi" so obsessed with saving people? She’s just an ordinary herb-gathering girl, currently serving as the assistant to Doctor Baizhu at Bubu Pharmacy. She’s not even a real doctor—so why is she so fixated on saving others? "Su Yuan, what are you standing there for? Hurry and move the wounded out of Bubu Pharmacy’s ward!" Zhongli urged again. "Alright..." Su Yuan nodded. Since Zhongli had said so, he couldn’t afford to hesitate any longer... He quickly ran off to the other wards to see which Millelith soldiers still needed to be evacuated... As the sounds of weapons clashing between Zhongli and "Qiqi" echoed behind him, Su Yuan entered a neighboring ward. One Millelith soldier still seemed conscious, so Su Yuan immediately rushed to his side... "Ah... it’s Mr. Su Yuan..." The Millelith soldier recognized him and spoke with a trace of sorrow in his voice: "Why... why did things turn out like this..." "That kind and gentle girl, Qiqi... why did she turn my comrades into those living corpses—neither human nor ghost..." "Brother, don’t be too sad or upset. We’ll definitely find a way to resolve this," Su Yuan said reassuringly. "By the way, do you remember when Qiqi started acting strange? Do you have any clues or leads?" "Now that you mention it, I do recall something..." "A while ago, Qiqi had been following behind Doctor Baizhu, assisting him with treatments..." "But some of our brothers were too badly wounded by the Geovishaps—even Doctor Baizhu couldn’t save them..." "At that time, Miss Qiqi seemed to show a rather sorrowful and distressed expression..." "Wait! I just remembered something strange!!" "Right before Miss Qiqi started acting weird, the talisman on her forehead began to float on its own—and it was glowing faintly with light..." --------------- Exclusive access : 400+ch on paetron Join now : patreon*com/DeCakraWnloverz
