"You're a little annoyed."
I care about you because you are in a bad mood, and you talk to me like this?
The Blood Crystal Crow was also furious.
But she couldn't dwell on it yet, because she had felt her manifested heart failing hours ago.
In other words, if this stupid woman continues to squander her spirit and energy without any scruples and doesn't find a way to replenish it, they will soon be kicked out.
Sounds like a good thing... pop out and try again, and if you try enough times it seems like you'll be able to match Hitzfeld's timeline.
But that’s not the case at all!
If her guess was right, if they were ejected in this way, their spirits would be left in the dreamland in large quantities! Their real bodies would be so weak that they would not be able to wake up immediately even if they got out of here!
Just like the more than 200 people rescued from Fran Middle School in the beginning, their symptoms were similar.
She tried her best to suppress her anger and told the woman the fact, but she didn't seem to care at all.
"Yeah, I know."
“…Is this your attitude of knowing?”
"Yusilian, I have a question for you."
Xia Yibing stood in the night. She was the only living person on the empty street except for the corpses and rotting blood.
She looked up above her head, at something that should be a billboard. She could vaguely see a portrait of the girl named "Qiao Liu" that she had seen before, and an advertising slogan below it.

"I'm asking you," she stressed, "You really don't know what happened to us, right?"
Her tone was a little too calm. Blood Crystal Crow felt that if he still had a physical body, she would definitely start to avoid looking at him.
"Yeah... well... I don't know."
"Don't you know how we can become gods?"
"I've said it many times... Everyone's path is different. Harwin's experience is useless to you. It will kill you!"
"Really?" Xia Yibing grinned and stared at the long sword in her hand, "Then I think I understand..."
What did you understand?
Blood Crystal Crow was almost about to swear.
If there is something being concealed, that is indeed the case.
But what she was hiding was…the Hitzfeld part.
Something extremely amazing is brewing in that child, that kind of super spiritual perception, plus the preference of the mother tree. If she can see through it, it is not impossible for her to fight against the great ones on her own.
This is why Blood Crystal Crow previously commented that Xia Yibing made the right choice - when you know that your opponent is such an existence that neither numbers nor technology will work, what else can you do except grab the only straw and gamble on the possibility?
But I never thought there would be any changes in Imaar???
Damn it... Considering the terrible knife she just threw, what on earth happened to her?
Can't understand.
This unknown even frightened the Blood Crystal Crow.
She had to figure out the source of this fear, because she had seen it and even experienced it herself... Suppose... the power of the Void Mother still remained in the dream world of Mithros, and Imaar was invaded by this power in that state...
"Don't worry, I am who I am."
Xia Yibing seemed to realize what she was worried about and took the initiative to show that she was healthy both physically and mentally.
"Then what are you going to do next?"
The Blood Crystal Crow was still worried.
Can't get out.
It's impossible to find someone.
She couldn't think of a solution. This situation was equivalent to going to jail, right?
What else can I do?
I hope she doesn't stoop to killing people for fun.
"Go back and find Qiao Su."
Xia Yibing turned around and walked back.
"Looking for her? Why?"
"Ask her to help find someone."
"…Are you kidding me?"
"I didn't plan on asking her to help find Aisuen."
Xia Yibing explained further.
"Then you are looking for——"
"Don't forget, the dream world is getting closer and closer to Manion."
"We are not the only Namiyans being pulled in."
Chapter 45 She Must Still Be There (Two in One)
In the dream world of Misros, Xia Yibing’s timeline, three days later.
In a spacious and bright office, in front of countless reflections cast by mirrors all around, Xia Yibing and Qiao Liu signed a "temporary employment contract."
"Then it's confirmed." Seeing that this scary woman finally finished reading the content and signed her name at the end, Qiao Lu was relieved and continued to emphasize: "As long as Yu Ya's invasion is not stopped and is still in progress, you have the obligation to protect my personal safety."
"As a reward, Sulfur Stone Security needs to help me publish ten advertisements after the invasion is over." Xia Yibing added, "This is a deal, but I have to say it in advance. I will not do anything outside the scope of the agreement."
Being able to spare no patience for this girl was already the limit, as it was necessary for the next plan. But if Qiao Su thought that he could control her with these pieces of waste paper and order her to do something, then she would kill her without hesitation.
Anyway, it was just a dream, and the girl's true spirit might still be trapped in the consciousness of a great being and fall asleep. Being killed in a dream might not mean real death, and even if it was real, Xia Yibing felt that it was a relief.
"Don't worry." Qiao Lu pushed his glasses carefully, "I know my limits! Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have entrusted Yuya's business to me."
The two sides established a cooperative relationship, and the guards beside Qiao Liu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After that, they set off together. According to Qiao Liu's plan, the next place they were going to was Shelter No. 1 in the center of the city.
On the way, Xia Yibing did not forget to inquire about the information here. According to Qiao Liu's introduction, Youya - the city they are in at the moment is very special. It is built on an artificial island. It is not large in area, but the internal facilities are extremely luxurious. It is a holiday resort specially chosen by many "people with status" and "resources".
And most importantly, Yuya's predecessor was the site of the legendary school "Mingling Holy Hall". According to the girl's description, this school suffered terrible damage in the early invasion, a large amount of rotten blood eroded the land to the point of complete destruction, and the entire school was almost completely destroyed in the war.
"But we won that battle." Qiao Liu smiled confidently. "The High Priests led us. We quickly learned and developed under their oppression. In just a few years, we created a variety of technologies that can be used in war. Our soldiers were also able to enter deep space to build defenses. Since then, there have been very few situations... where they could reach our homeland."
"Then what's going on with this attack?" Xia Yibing pointed to the sky.
"Oh." Qiao Liu's smile was a little stiff. "Well... maybe it's an erosion force that sneaked in, or it could be the work of the Yalai rebels."
"Yalai rebels?"
"Well, you know the Yalai people, right?"
"know."
"The Yalai used Lana's power to combine the flesh and blood of the descendants of the Deep Space Mother with the flesh and blood of the Mithros people, creating natural warriors out of thin air." Qiao Liu nodded, "Under normal circumstances, they retain their self-awareness and believe in Lana like normal people, and receive help from Lana. But there are also abnormal situations, that is, there are a very small number of warriors who did not explode at the last moment of their bodies expanding when they were martyred."
"Oh?"
"The consciousness of the Mother of Deep Space invaded them at that time." Qiao Liu's face became serious. "When their bodies expanded to the limit, that was also the time when their consciousness was most relaxed. Imagine a person who knew that he would die in the next moment. He would instinctively let go of some burdens, including the resistance to the consciousness of the Mother of Void. Therefore, they were more vulnerable to invasion and control than usual. Once this control was achieved, their bodies would not explode, but would maintain that huge size and continue to mutate in the direction of the deep space monsters."
"Just like that big guy in the sky."
“…Perhaps.”
Xia Yibing was curious why she was not so sure about this issue. After asking, she learned that it was almost impossible to distinguish between the deep space monsters and the Yalai traitors.
When the Yalai warriors were controlled and betrayed, and fell into the embrace of the Deep Space Mother's consciousness, everything about them was washed away and covered. They could change into various appearances, and it just so happened that the appearances of the Deep Space Monsters were also varied, and there were almost no identical species.
On the way, they encountered another wave of monster attacks. Xia Yibing fulfilled the agreement and killed them, which really earned her respect.
This was the first time that Qiao Liu and his group felt that she was actively protecting them. Although this was part of the agreement, coupled with her strong identity, she naturally had a transcendent status in the hearts of these people.
This also allowed her to receive detailed answers to some of her subsequent questions. After all, in the eyes of these people, she was asking some common sense questions. In their opinion, it was a great deal to make friends with such a powerful person by using these answers that everyone knew.
"Julia-Huoyang."
After walking a little further, Xia Yibing brought up this name.
"I heard that she ended the Fire Solar Calendar? She turned the Fire Solar Calendar into the Blazing Solar Calendar. What does this mean?"
"It means exactly what it says." Qiao Liu pushed his glasses up again, and looked at him with curiosity. "The Fire Sun Calendar has an end. After about one Old Sun Day, the Fire Sun will disappear, and then the White Snake Calendar will begin."
"At that time, there were three calendars in total: the Fire Sun, White Snake, and Flower Mist calendars, but the Chi Yang calendar is different! The Chi Yang calendar is the Fire Sun that never goes out. Since the birth of the Chi Yang calendar, we have never lost the light of the Fire Sun again."
After learning the details of the incident, Xia Yibing found it unbelievable.
Simply put, after the birth of the Fiery Solar Calendar, the changes in the sky in Misros became closer to those in Namya. The old calendar of Misros was based on 1-2 old days alternating, and each old day was roughly equivalent to three years in Namya. In other words, the old sun would not set for three years, and after it disappeared, it might take 6-9 years before it would rise again.
What kind of strange astronomical phenomenon is this? And how could such a strange astronomical phenomenon be changed?
After seeing the face of the statue, Xia Yibing completely regarded "Julia in history" as Hitzfeld. She was surprised at how the girl could do such a thing. Was it related to her fused identity?
The high priest... the high priest's descendants... it sounds like she is integrating with the ruling class of the world of Mithros.
Qiao Liu and others were really surprised. They now suspected that this person might also have an extraordinary background and had been locked up at home for special training since childhood.
How else to explain her ability? Or how else to explain her ignorance of such common sense?
Next, in Xia Yibing's concept, she tends to make the flow of time begin to accelerate.
She escorted Qiao Liu and his party to Shelter No. 1, located beneath the capital, and waited there until the invasion was repelled twelve days later, thus completing the agreement she had to fulfill.
Afterwards, Yuya began to restore order. With Qiaoliu's introduction, she met her father, Mingliu, the head of Sulfur Stone Company, and re-signed an agreement with Mingliu, confirming that Sulfur Stone Company would help her publish some "strange advertisements" in the future.
The ads are really weird and filled with promotions for products that don't even exist.
For example, the Golden Lion brand cars, and the candies produced by Earl of Candy.
Many citizens became interested after watching the advertisements, but when they tried to buy the corresponding products on the market, they were told that "these things don't exist at all." The company received countless letters of complaint, and the people who handled this part of the business lived in fear every day.
Mingliu talked to his daughter during this period, and Qiaoliu told him, "Xiasha may be looking for someone."
"I think she may be backed by an ancient family." Qiao Liu analyzed, "The invasion of the Deep Space Mother changed the history of Mithros. Even if we won, we lost a lot of records about that period. Maybe Xiasha was born in such a family buried by time, and these products may be popular items of that period."
"So she came out of the 'Fortress' and she is looking for someone similar to herself?" Ming Liu finally realized.
He didn't mind doing a favor for someone who had saved his daughter, but the prerequisite was that he knew what the other person was trying to do.
"'Fortress' ah..." Mingliu chewed on this special word, with a slight gleam in his eyes.
The so-called fortresses are those underground shelters built during the first invasion.
Mithros is huge, their world is layered, with many layers of "underground". There may be some ancient shelters still in operation, and if there are people who survive in them, then each of them is equivalent to a living chronicle.
Even if they are not professionals in this field, if they only remember a little bit and can provide some restoration and supplement to that blank period of history, it can create huge value. Therefore, every discovery of a "fortress" can cause a huge sensation in society, and everyone who discovers the "fortress" can also gain huge fame and fortune.
"I don't recommend taking tough measures, Dad." Qiao Liu started pushing his glasses again. "Although there are no 'Priests' today, and all the power is concentrated on Lana, but with the power she has shown, I suspect she is probably from a family of priests."
Xia Yibing asked a lot of questions about Julia Huoyang, and Qiao Liu thought that this might not be just out of curiosity.
"Let's take a look first." Ming Liu nodded, "See if anyone has contacted her. If not, forget it. But if so, we can try to investigate those people first, but be careful not to alarm them."
Just like that, time passes.
Because she was more familiar with the place, Qiaoliu was given the task of surveillance. Qiaoliu was surprised to find that some people really came to "Sister Xia Sha" for help. She also tried to investigate them according to her father's wishes, but what surprised her even more was that these people's resumes were very transparent.
Almost without exception, they were all Yalai warriors, and were transferred back from deep space outposts for various reasons.
Originally, Yuya did not allow the Yalai people to enter, but after the last attack, people were worried that a disaster would happen again, so the Yalai warriors were allowed to be stationed here as an exception. These people came here to take advantage of this latest resolution.
At the same time, in the luxurious mansion donated by the Sulfur Stone Company, Xia Yibing finally met the three people she was looking for.
"Harrison."
"Josie."
"And Marseilles."
Looking at the three people whose appearances could only be described as ugly, the woman felt uncomfortable. "Your choice is too random..."
This is not something we can choose.
Harrison's mouth twitched.
