Chapter 127 The Mist Clears
"It seems that my blood...is much more useful than I thought."
Qi Ji, who had concealed his presence, stood on the sidewalk opposite, looking at the dim warm light that swallowed up the billboard that was pressing down on him and turned it into iron filings in an instant, feeling a little curious in his heart.
The moment the billboard fell, she wanted to rescue the family.
However, she soon discovered that... Daisy's body seemed to have undergone some strange changes.
The power contained in that drop of blood had already completely dissolved and spread to every corner of Daisy's body.
But at this moment, the enormous power that was insignificant to Qi Ji but countless to mortals... no longer existed simply and independently in Daisy's body.
But... it's like two different colors of ink pouring into each other, blending into each other at a slow and steady pace.
It was as if Daisy's own spirituality and the power of Qi Ji's drop of blood had some kind of strange resonance, and the two were becoming more and more compatible, and there was a tendency for them to completely merge into one.
In order to observe further, Qi Ji did not take action immediately, but instead focused all his senses on Daisy, paying attention to the movement of every force in her body.
Of course, Qi Ji had made some secret preparations, so if anything unexpected happened, there would be no need to worry about the safety of the family of four.
Then the scene just happened.
And it was at this moment that an inexplicable touch sprouted from the depths of my soul.
She subconsciously stretched out her right hand, spread out her five fingers, and used her mind to make the pattern of "the aggregate of light balls behind the stars" appear in the palm of her hand.
The deep and brilliant light flowed slowly, but this time...it changed again.
On the surface, the vast darkness and the brilliant galaxy were no different from before.
But Qi Ji felt a special "premonition" in his heart, as if there was something hidden behind this pattern...something new.
With a thought, the black and purple in her palm quickly faded away, and "Twilight Waiter" seamlessly replaced it.
The next second, it disappeared again, and the "aggregate of light balls behind the stars" returned again.
Qi Ji used his mind to switch the pattern in his hand between the two, trying to find their similarities and differences.
After a few attempts...
"Wait, does that mean that the 'Star Map' is my own pattern, and the 'Twilight Waiter' is a 'simulation'?"
For some reason, she felt that compared with the "aggregate of light balls behind the stars", "Twilight Waiter" seemed... more unreal and did not seem to exist in reality.
"Tsk, 'The Left Hand of the Law', 'Twilight Waiter', 'The Ship of Progress'..."
She recalled that all the major churches she had come into contact with so far seemed to have their own holy emblems.
Could it be that……
After several rounds of switching, the "Map of Stars" stayed in his hands. The silent pure black lasted forever, and the dazzling galaxy was magnificent.
If each pattern corresponds to a god, then...
This painting, “Agglomeration of Light Balls Behind the Stars”, belongs to her...
The "holy emblem"?
At this moment, she seemed to be enlightened, and her mind suddenly became clear.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration like lightning connected together the numerous incomprehensible doubts in the past few days!
The fog that has long covered my heart and my eyes is showing signs of dissipating.
"I... am a... god?" Qi Ji's dark brown eyes stared at the magnificent pattern on his palm without moving, with turbulent waves rising in his heart.
But soon, it was replaced by deep doubt: "But... why?!"
When she found herself traveling through time and space and becoming a god, her first reaction was not surprise, but a feeling of extreme absurdity.
The reason is simple...it's "Why?"
I am just an ordinary office worker on Earth. There are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people like me across the country, and there are countless elites who have more outstanding abilities, talents and status than me.
Why...me?
How can I, a mere mortal, become a powerful and transcendent god in another world?
Besides, if I’m traveling through time, then why would I change my gender?
Did I "take over" the original owner of this body, or did this body have no so-called "original owner" and was "shaped" the moment I crossed over?
If it is the former, then as a mere mortal, such a humble and insignificant soul, how could I have the virtue and ability to take away the body of a god?
If it is the latter, why do I qualify for such a powerful and noble status?
Why?
Why?
She discovered that after realizing that she was probably a great being on the same level as the "Goddess of Grace", "God of Ferry", "God of the Sea" and other gods believed in by hundreds of millions of believers...
Although it did solve many of the doubts that had been previously unsolved, it also gave rise to more and more difficult to explain doubts.
This caused her mind to fall into chaos for a short period of time, and a strong sense of confusion spread in her heart.
However, this adverse condition only lasted for a very short time.
The next second, she calmed herself down and didn't let her mind completely lose its composure.
"These are not things that can be understood now..."
So far, only a very small part of the sealed memories in my mind have been released. Until they are completely released, nothing can be concluded.
After realizing this, she regrouped, gathered her thoughts, and her eyes regained clarity and ease.
And all this happened in less than a second, and the debris scattered in the sky has not yet completely fallen to the ground.
While the family of four were still stunned and hadn't reacted, she raised her head and looked at the top of the "Berkeley Building".
The huge metal billboard was fixed to the outer wall of the building by several steel frames.
Now, all the thick steel bars have been broken, leaving only a few twisted and sharp steel spikes on the bare, black exterior wall.
Looking at this scene, Qi Ji suddenly sneered.
Others might not be able to notice it, but with her eyesight, she could easily see every inch of detail of the broken steel frame even from a distance of more than ten floors.
The steel frame and steel bars were broken in the middle, and the cross-section was highly deformed and twisted, like a bent blade.
This is not normal. If the billboard fell down by itself because the fixing structure was old and loose, and it could not bear the weight, then it would never be like this...
It should be that the concrete connecting the outer wall and the steel frame collapsed, causing the billboard to fall down along with the entire fixed structure.
In other words, the billboard did not fall down by itself.
In Qi Ji's perception, a suspicious aura flashed across the roof of the building and disappeared into the rooftop of the building at a very fast speed. It did not stop and left the area in a short while.
Chapter 128: Conflict?
There will be another update around 10pm.
=========================
"Miss Yaoliuliu! You are here!"
Gary heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Ji suddenly appear. He slowed down his running pace, but he still did not completely let down his guard. He still held his son Youer tightly in his arms:
"Did you save us? Thank you so much! It was really dangerous just now!"
"actually……"
Qi Ji was about to tell the truth, but he caught a glimpse of Daisy's panicked expression with her mouth half open, as if she was about to shout something to stop Qi Ji.
"Tsk, I understand..."
Qi Ji immediately understood, swallowed his original words, and naturally continued with other remarks:
"In fact, I have always been by your side. I just used some tricks to become invisible."
After saying that, she quickly gave Daisy a look that said "I know what you mean", with a playful smile on her face.
Seeing that the other party did not reveal her "little secret", Daisy visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she looked away embarrassedly, looked at the ground below her, and buried her slightly red cheeks in her mother's chest so that Qi Ji could not see it.
"Miss Yaoliuliu, what just happened wasn't an accident, was it?!" Mrs. Gary held Daisy in her arms, quickly looked around, and said in panic, "Could it be that group of people..."
"You're right, the billboard was tampered with." Qi Ji said affirmatively before she finished speaking, and then suddenly showed a mean expression:
"But you can still go to the building and claim compensation from them. You should be able to get a considerable amount of compensation."
"Uh..." The couple were both stunned, shocked by her shameless proposal.
"Everyone! Everyone! Are you all okay?!"
As soon as Qi Ji finished speaking, several men in suits ran out from the main entrance on the first floor of the "Berkeley Building", with panic-stricken looks on their faces, as if someone had robbed them of their money.
After seeing the sand-like debris all over the ground, they were all stunned, but soon figured something out, their complexion returned to normal, and they hurriedly trotted to the family.
“Are you all okay?” One of the older men walked up to Gary and said with sweat all over his forehead, his tone full of anxiety, “I’m so sorry, we didn’t want this to happen…”
Seeing this, Mrs. Gary wanted to explain a few more words, but as soon as she opened her lips, she suddenly thought of something, closed them obediently, turned to face somewhere else and pretended to be looking at the scenery.
Facing the apologetic and panicked building staff, Gary's eyes flickered for a moment, then he calmed down, bent down and put his son back on the ground, put his hands on his hips, and an angry look burst out from his face:
"What the hell did you do?! Do you know that something this big could kill someone if it fell? If we didn't have someone protecting us, we would all be dead now!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The sweat on the male employee's face was about to form strands. He bowed and apologized desperately, and then whispered nervously:
"We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! Um, why don't you come in and discuss the compensation with us in detail..."
"Want to go in with you?" Gary was slightly stunned.
"Yes, our chairman is out for some reason, but his secretary is inside. You two can discuss it with him! Um, please rest assured, we are absolutely sensible..."
When Gary heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and there was a hint of retreat in his eyes.
Miss Yaoliuliu said before that the falling of the billboard was not an accident, but was tampered with... In other words, someone was trying to murder their family!
Whose billboard is it? It belongs to the Berkeley Building!
He had reason to suspect that the murderer who intended to kill them was hiding in this black building!
Now their staff wanted to go in with their wives and children...it was hard for Gary not to think of something sinister.
Looking at the male employee's attentive yet flustered eyes, he was in a dilemma.
"This……"
He glanced at Qi Ji who was standing in the distance with a subtle movement, wanting to seek her help.
Qi Ji nodded imperceptibly and said leisurely:
"I'll go in with you."
Hearing these words, Gary seemed to be assured and breathed a sigh of relief. He met the male employee's gaze again and nodded vigorously:
"Okay, take me to see your leader now!"
"Come in! Come in!"
The male employee breathed a sigh of relief, quickly gestured "please", and led the family of four into the glass sliding door of the "Berkeley Building".
Four people, two adults and two children, walked in front, and Qi Ji followed them in.
The staff members and the security guards at the door did not stop her, probably because they realized that this strange little girl was a companion of that family.
As soon as he entered the door, Qi Ji saw a hall with a tiled floor, several round warm yellow pillars distributed regularly, and gas lamps with strange and complex shapes hung on the wall.
Directly opposite the door was a marble counter with several female employees standing upright behind it.
"It looks a lot like the lobby of some high-end hotels on Earth... Are there really some design elements that are the same everywhere?"
Following the slightly nervous Gary couple, Qi Ji thought with some amusement.
The male employee led everyone to a hollow iron sliding door. On the wall beside the door were several rows of mechanical buttons with numbers printed on them in an orderly manner.
Is this... an elevator?
This old-fashioned mechanical elevator that only appears in movies is quite novel. Qi Ji watched with interest as the male employee operated this elevator that was as complicated as an airplane cockpit.
A minute or two later, there was a clanging sound of metal colliding from behind the tightly closed hollow sliding door. Not long after, the elevator car slowly slid down from above and stopped behind the door.
"Guys please come in."
