Chapter 922: My Own Path
Tailed Beast Paradise Nibelungen.
After sending Isshiki into the synesthesia dream, Mu Qingzhi no longer paid attention to the things inside. In this spiritual realm that belonged to her, the other party was like a fish on a felt board, unable to stir up any waves.
——Now, she has more important things to do.
"Okay, don't pay too much attention to the other party. It will take some time for him to get out of there. Before that, finish the business first."
Moving his eyes away from the tailed beasts below, Mu Qingzhi looked at Toneri in front of him.
"This Nibelungen can't last too long. I need a more stable energy source. What about the preparations I asked you to make before?"
"………"
"Why, it's not that it has come to this point, and you still want to retreat at the last minute?"
After waiting for a while without seeing the other party's response, Mu Qingzhi rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Don't forget who helped you complete your Samsara Eye."
"There's no need to repeat this a second time."
Frowning slightly, Toneri looked up at her.
"Since I promised you, I will do it."
"Then give me the Samsara Eye."
Shrugging slightly, Mu Qingzhi stretched out her hand to the other party.
"………"
Looking at the girl's outstretched hand, after a brief silence, Otsutsuki Toneri put his hand on it.
But before he could hand over the Samsara Eye, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest. A hand that came from nowhere pierced his chest and then firmly grasped the girl's wrist.
At this moment, the dark lines meandered up along the girl's wrist, and finally climbed up her cheek silently.
"Uh... you should be okay?"
Looking at Isshiki who retreated without hesitation after a successful attack, Mu Qingzhi reached out to support the pale Sheren, and after looking at the wound on his chest for a few times, he asked hesitantly.
Sheren: "..."
... Does he look like he's okay?
"Okay, it seems he should be okay."
Seeing that the other party could still glare at him, Mu Qingzhi nodded with relief, and looked up at Isshiki in front of him.
"Hey, by the way, how much life do you have left?"
"Instead of worrying about this, you might as well worry about yourself."
After confirming that the wedge had been planted in the other party, Isshiki Otsutsuki showed a sneer on his face.
"From now on, you are my Rong..."
"Okay, okay, bye."
Feeling the call from somewhere, Mu Qingzhi was in a very good mood and waved to the other party.
"Goodbye, have a safe journey. Don't worry, I will recycle the things you left behind, so you can go with peace of mind."
"???"
Opening his mouth, Isshiki Otsutsuki was about to say something, but the boundless darkness enveloped his consciousness. A second before his consciousness fell into silence, he saw with horror that the wedge that was originally planted on the other party was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a pure white halo lit up from the other party, drowning his entire vision.
——At this moment, he seemed to see a god.
………………………………………………
It was still the island on the sea, and the sky was still as blue as a clear blue.
After a long time, Mu Qingzhi finally stepped into the system again.
"Hmm? Come on, sit down."
After looking up at her, a blue-haired man who was lying on the sofa on the grass in the sun with his feet upside down on the back of the sofa lazily greeted her.
"Xiaoshen is cutting fruit inside, you sit down for a while, and wait for her to come."
Looking at the small bench pointed by a blue-haired man, and then looking at the sofa where the other party was lying, after thinking for a while, Mu Qingzhi first lifted the blue-haired man and put him on the bench, and then sat down on the sofa without any hesitation.
A blue-haired man: "???"
"Hey! You, do you know what respecting the elderly and loving..."
"I ask, you answer."
Crossing his left leg over his right foot, with his hands around his chest, Mu Qingzhi interrupted the blue-haired man's words from a high position.
"Tell me the truth, have you actually woken up a long time ago?"
"Uh..."
"Look into my eyes when you answer the question, don't look away."
Looking at the blue-haired man sitting cross-legged on the bench with his hands in front of him, looking guilty and wanting to look away, Mu Qingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed his judgment in his heart.
To some extent, she and the system are one, and what happens to the other party will also affect her synchronously... a typical example is the motion sickness meme.
Some time ago, she inexplicably had a meme that she couldn't cook. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the other party. She was a little worried about the state of the system when she entered here, but after seeing someone's lazy look, she began to doubt.
"Almost... cough, in fact, this kind of thing is very complicated."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he sat up straight on the bench, clenched his fist with one hand and put it to his mouth, and a blue-haired man coughed in his mouth.
"We have indeed woken up for a while, but due to various factors, we can't contact you, and can only find a way to open it from the outside through you... By the way, I also want to ask you, what do you want to do."
As if he remembered something, he looked up at her, and a blue-haired man looked serious.
"You should know your mission. You can't stay in one world for too long, but judging from your arrangement, you don't seem to want to give up your identity in this world."
As the former Pure White Heart, the blue-haired woman naturally knew what she needed to face and give up on her own path. Whether she was willing to give up or not, it was the most important part of herself.
Whether she entered the game as a heroine or ended up leaving by escaping death, her predecessor had summed up a set of the most perfect procedures, and the other party only needed to follow the procedures.
... But from the current situation, the other party seemed to have his own ideas?
"Give up? Why should I give up?"
As expected, facing her question, the girl curled her lips with disdain, holding her hands.
"I have invested so much energy and time, and have made so many ties and friends in this world, but I have to give it all up just because of some mission or something?"
"But you have to make a choice."
"Choice? Only children make choices, and adults choose to take everything."
Looking at the blue-haired creature in front of him, Mu Qingzhi snorted.
"I know your past achievements, and I know that it would be easy if I followed the path you took before, but people are different after all. You have your path to take, and I have my own path."
Putting down his hands and leaning over to look directly into the eyes of the system, Mu Qingzhi rarely became serious.
"I'm sorry to have failed your general kindness, but this is my own path, and I want to walk it on my own."
"...Even if the road ahead is full of thorns and mud."
