Chapter 302: People and Shadows

The sheepskin demon was once very powerful.

But in order to travel here, it has lost all its power and has to start all over again. Coupled with the asymmetry between the two worlds...

If it wants to be equal to the power over there, it needs to be several times or even dozens of times stronger than the other side. It needs to suppress the other side in order to control the situation.

The unequal ratio of power exchange and the difficulty of this process are simply not cost-effective.

"Compared to that, that guy..."

The sheepskin demon thought of the believer who was still chasing him.

"That guy is like a monster! Why can he put 100% of his power into this world? How did she do it?"

The sheepskin demon felt frightened. If he had not had the means to save his life, he also set up a clone to pretend to escape to the edge of the city, but in fact secretly hid in the city sewers, otherwise he would have been killed by that guy.

"As long as that believer dies, I will never have a stable life! I will be helpless in whatever I want to do!"

"It's a pity. I thought I could turn the boy next to that woman into a monster and look for opportunities to plot against that woman..."

puff!

While gasping for air, the sheepskin demon suddenly widened his eyes and vomited blood.

In an instant, injuries piled on top of each other.

He knew that it was the clone of the community security guard who had also been found out and solved.

Efficiency...it's really fast.

His little methods are becoming more and more familiar to the believer, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable!

"Hibernating... I have to hibernate for a while to recover some of my strength first. I need time..."

"The torment these days has made the believer suspicious and exhausted, enough to buy me time to regain my strength."

"I hope that [spirit] can move soon and help me attract firepower."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I never thought that one day, I would count on [spirit] to help me..."

…

Qingshui community.

With a sudden brake, a group of bodyguards in black got out of the motorcade.

Standing in front of them was their employer, Qi Xiaojin.

Qi Xiaojin looked indifferent because she had just dealt with a sheepskin demon clone disguised as a community security guard.

She thought she had taken all precautions, but she didn't expect that her driver would be hit!

Now even the community security is in trouble.

That sheepskin demon is far more cunning than the demon I thought.

At this moment, Qi Xiaojin looked at everyone as if they were monsters, and a sense of irritability grew in her heart little by little.

"First check the people in the community to make sure there are no demons lurking."

"In addition, the community is no longer safe. Just in case, the safe house that is already being prepared must be accelerated."

Ideally, the community would naturally be preserved.

After all, this community carries many beautiful memories of Qi Xiaojin, and it can also preserve the memories of past lives, which is the greatest advantage.

But if something happens, it is also important to have a way out.

So since returning from rebirth, Qi Xiaojin has been thinking about whether to build a safe house outside.

At the beginning, it was just design and preparation, with people purchasing supplies, designing circuit diagrams, escape routes, refrigeration systems and other things for the safe house.

Only recently did construction begin on an experimental basis.

This was originally a long-term plan.

Count down the years and build your ideal safe house step by step before the doomsday.

But now, everything must speed up.

Even if it was just a prototype, she had to build the safe house first, and the subsequent refrigeration system, generator, material reserves, self-circulating farming system and other things could only be added slowly later.

With an idea in mind, Qi Xiaojin took a deep breath and made a phone call.

Then he waved and, with his bodyguards, began to randomly check every household in the community.

There are professionals responsible for supervision and construction of the safe house. She only needs to control the general direction, and she does not need to worry about the rest.

What she wants to ensure now is the safety of the community.

Give Fang Yu a safe and stable growth environment, otherwise external stimulation may cause Fang Yu's growth in the game to deviate from his previous life.

This is what Qi Xiaojin doesn't want to see.

To be honest, Qi Xiaojin didn't know what the situation was like in the community in her previous life, but she had never heard of any monsters or big news. It wasn't until the end of the world that everything changed.

It may be that Fang Yu did something secretly in his previous life, but no one knew about it and reported it.

It may also be that with his rebirth, the world has really changed.

No matter what, what Qi Xiaojin has to do now is to stabilize the situation and make everything transition smoothly until the end of the world.

The wings of the butterfly affected something. Qi Xiaojin wanted to stop this change, at least not to let this change affect Fang Yu.

I took people with me to investigate all the way, but unfortunately, I found nothing.

The sheepskin demon should not have any more manpower in the community, but this is not the end, it is just a temporary repel. Sooner or later, the sheepskin demon will come back.

"You can hide so well!"

Qi Xiaojin clenched her fists, her eyes cold.

"If I have a monster-hunting [instrument] in hand, or if my strength improves to a higher level, I will definitely be able to find traces of that guy!"

There's no point in being anxious.

Qi Xiaojin calmed herself down.

In addition to arranging screened security guards to take turns patrolling and strengthening the defense, Qi Xiaojin also plans to improve his strength in the game as soon as possible.

After all, she was able to break free from the [Chain of Human Sin] for a short time, and her strength in the game was equivalent to her strength in reality.

But she had plans for her remaining life.

She needed to invest it step by step into the game in exchange for resources.

If she used too much strength in reality, her life would be greatly reduced, and many of the planned plans would not be implemented.

Gently rubbing her brows, Qi Xiaojin felt a headache.

"Is it so difficult to protect someone..."

"In my previous life, how much did Fang Yu silently pay to protect me..."

Thinking of Fang Yu, Qi Xiaojin's tired heart seemed to be comforted all of a sudden.

In my previous life, Fang Yu tried his best to protect me.

In this life, it's my turn!

She raised her spirits, arranged the work of the security guards, and strode to her room.

She was ready to log in to the game.

Since I can't find the sheepskin demon with my current strength, I'll improve my strength! I should be able to deal with that guy by improving one realm.

When dealing with the security guard disguised as the sheepskin demon clone, Qi Xiaojin had already confirmed Fang Yu's safety, so naturally he didn't send anyone to disturb Fang Yu's rest at this moment.

Returning to his room, Qi Xiaojin sat on the bed, but his eyes looked at the desk in the room.

On it, there was a half-written white paper, and next to it were a bunch of crumpled waste paper.

"If something happens to me, this letter will be the last guarantee."

"The safe house and all subsequent arrangements will be made known to Fang Yu through this letter..."

"The truth of the world and the coming of the end of the world..."

"If possible, I really don't want him to face these cruel realities again."

"If possible, I hope he can spend this last time carefree like me in my previous life..."

"After all, after that..."

"Everything you see and encounter is purgatory."

The letter was not finished.

Because there were some things that Qi Xiaojin didn't know how to talk about.

Even picking up the pen several times made her waver.

Some selfishness made her cheeks heat up several times.

It was like writing a love letter that was a few years late. I wanted to put everything in it, but I was worried that I would be too enthusiastic and scare the other person.

What style and context should I use to leave this letter.

What will happen to me when this letter appears in Fang Yu's hands.

Qi Xiaojin didn't know, so she never finished writing this heavy letter.

"Let's play the game first. As long as I am strong enough, all problems can be solved."

Qi Xiaojin took her eyes off the unfinished letter on the desk and put on the game helmet.

Game, log in.

...

Heiku Saint Gate.

Qi Xiaojin opened his eyes.

"Xiaojin! You are finally awake!"

What caught my eye was the beautiful face of the Saint [Miao Weixin].

"Sister Lian'er, why are you here?"

Qi Xiaojin blinked, her expression calm.

[Miao Weixin]'s nickname is Lian'er, and only close people will call her that.

After Qi Xiaojin officially joined the Black Dry Saint Sect as a disciple, his first mission was to take the initiative to go to [Xi Dao Mountain].

Few people know that if you follow a secret mountain path in [Xi Dao Mountain] and walk inward, you can reach a blood pool.

This is [Xi Dao Blood].

With this item, the materials for [Love Heart Powder] are basically gathered.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, he even encountered a special monster named [Xi Yao] and almost failed to escape.

But fortunately, Qi Xiaojin did not go to collect this item without any preparation, so he was in danger, but he still escaped and returned to the sect smoothly.

After completing the task, he can rest for a few days, and with the contribution of the sect, he can directly exchange for medicinal materials.

Qi Xiaojin can finally start refining the [Love Heart Powder] that he has been looking forward to for a long time.

For several days, Qi Xiaojin stayed in the pharmacy and didn't even go out of the door.

It was not until the first batch of [Love Heart Powder] was refined that she was greatly relieved.

There was no rush to drug the saint.

Instead, he first drugged the junior sister who came in at the same time to see if it worked.

Within three days, the junior sister who had a prejudice against him gradually softened her attitude towards him.

Although she didn't have the kind of unswerving love that Wuxin Taoist mentioned, it did work.

There weren't many materials, so Qi Xiaojin immediately secretly fed the remaining [Love Heart Powder] to the Saint.

The Saint didn't have much defense against her, and the personal maid had already let down her guard, so it was easy to get it.

The effect of the Love Heart Powder is constant.

The more he invested in the Saint, the less effective it became for the junior sister.

Qi Xiaojin could see with his naked eyes that the junior sister's attitude towards her softened, then became indifferent and hostile again.

Judging the Saint's condition by observing the junior sister's state is also a way of continuous observation.

Now that the Saint [Miao Weixin] appeared in her boudoir, it was proof that the [Love Heart Powder] was effective.

"I will walk the path that Wuxin Taoist has walked again!"

"Take away the Saint's cultivation and achieve my great path!"

The Saint's side is a long-term development, and there is no rush.

On the contrary, it is necessary to improve one's own cultivation every day.

After a cordial conversation with the Saint, the better the day for the next secret meeting, Qi Xiaojin sent her away.

It was not until the Saint left her room that Qi Xiaojin withdrew his gaze, and the false smile on his face gradually subsided and calmed down.

"New dog, you're not obedient."

Bang! !

Qi Xiaojin's body suddenly burst out with blood-colored steam, and it was about to explode like a heat wave!

But when it was about to bloom, it suddenly solidified, stopped, and then suddenly retracted into Qi Xiaojin's body like a collapse and backflow!

But that kind of momentum seemed to still impact Qi Xiaojin's body, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Qi Xiaojin's eyes turned cold.

"Do you remember the agreement when signing the contract? Three times, more than three times, I will cripple you!"

"The end of the wine flower spirit is your end!"

Trembling, stop.

The body returned to full control.

Cheap!

Qi Xiaojin snorted coldly and pushed the door open.

"Senior Sister Lian!"

"Senior Sister Lian!"

She was already a formal disciple of the Black Dry Saint Sect. While having an independent room, her status naturally became different.

Although she had just entered the sect, the Black Dry Saint Sect was not only a formal disciple, but also had outer disciples, low-level servants, and so on.

In the eyes of these people, Qi Xiaojin is an existence that is out of their reach and unattainable.

Not to mention, the battle when Qi Xiaojin entered the sect also made him famous and known to many people.

"Senior Sister Lian, are you finally willing to come out of that tortoise shell?"

A strange voice sounded. It turned out to be Junior Sister Gua, the woman who was hostile to Qi Xiaojin, was later changed by the Love Heart Powder, and then the effect of the Love Heart Powder was dissipated.

"Junior Sister Gua, what's the matter?"

Since we are not going to deal with each other, why waste time.

"Humph! I heard an interesting rumor recently, do you want to hear it?"

"... If it's okay, I'll leave first."

"Wait! It's the [Hundred Flowers Banquet]! You should know it too, it will officially start soon."

Qi Xiaojin raised her eyelids.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is similar to the way she was recruited into the Saint Gate before, which is a way to recruit disciples from outside.

But now that she has entered the sect, she has no interest in the later disciples.

But Junior Sister Gua raised the corners of her mouth at this time.

"Flowers are the source, birds are the drive. The disciples of [Hundred Flowers Banquet] are not formal disciples, but [shadows] selected for us. The quality of the shadow determines the progress of our practice. How about joining hands with me? Seize the strongest shadow! I heard that there will be good seedlings this time, and several senior brothers and sisters who entered the sect earlier will also make a move to seize it."

"I don't want other people's second-hand goods, I just want new ones! The strongest!"

Junior sister Gua, there is desire in her eyes, a yearning for the strong, impulse!

Qi Xiaojin frowned slightly.

The practice method of the Black Dry Saint Sect is very special.

Like a withered dead wood, it turns into its own nutrients with the support of others.

And the so-called [shadow] is the resource that every disciple must strive for.

The [shadow] is the provider, and the stronger the [shadow], the smoother the [person's] practice path.

One person and one shadow is the standard configuration of the Black Dry Saint Sect.

But when people and shadows meet certain conditions, they can exchange identities, so when recruiting disciples from outside, [shadows] will also be promoted as formal disciples.

Qi Xiaojin was recruited into the sect as a [person], so he is naturally qualified to select [shadows].

Similarly, Junior Sister Gua, who entered at the same time, is also a [person].
