Let us put aside the affairs of this world for the moment and turn our attention to the seed that has sunk into the historical records.
The historical version of the world data is also a real piece of data.
Every person and every grain of sand here has a past and a future; there is no falsehood.
Just like a bubble of the world falling into the quantum sea, although it is born and dies in a day, although it is only the residual phantom of the world on the tree, when you step into it, those who talk to you and interact with you are also real.
"Hurrah! Hurrah!"
The night wind blows, and the sound of leaves rustling echoes in the mountains and forests.
It was in such an environment that Angel's clone, hiding in the seed, stepped on the solid ground.
She looked around, then at her own hands, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Everything seems real and illusory, virtual and real.
Unfortunately, the Angels in the Teyvat region set out when Kevin returned to the real world, and it would still be some time before they could set foot in the paradise of the afterlife. Otherwise, she would find this feeling unusually familiar.
Chapter 111 I am Maria, a hunter
"The experiment requires us to try to save a demon god who should have vanished into thin air. The first step of the experiment... who can tell me how long I have traveled? And how long will it take Heulia to get here?"
An Qi scratched her head, looking at the barren forest full of miasma, her mouth twitching, a little confused.
But not panicked.
After all, this is the first experiment, and anything can happen, nothing is unexpected.
"Angel can't connect to the Internet either. Is it because, for them, I am now in the past? No, that's not right. I didn't travel through time. I just arrived at the historical version of the Teyvat data body. In real time, we are always synchronized. In other words, it is the world data itself that blocks the Internet connection?"
"Well, let's write it down first, and study it slowly later... So, come out, I can already smell the blood of your mania and stupidity."
An Qi calmly raised her hand and placed it on the black hat on her head.
At this moment, she has a pale and exquisite oval face, blood-red pupils, a golden ponytail, and a tall and graceful figure. She wears a Victorian-style black windbreaker with a high stand-up collar and an elegant sapphire tie on her chest. Even her long fingers are covered with elegant black gloves.
Exquisite and classic, like a rose in a dark aesthetic style.
"Rustling!"
The grass and trees in the jungle swayed, and beasts and monsters smelled the blood of living people and came looking for a meal.
"During the Demon God War, Liyue was a battlefield. Even the wild beasts in nature, affected by the resentment flowing in the land, became more bloodthirsty and crazy than in peacetime... It seems that only a quick death can heal you and free you from the wild confusion."
She murmured softly, her voice was like the wind at night, clear and bright, yet with a hint of coolness.
"I am Maria, a hunter."
Not Maria from Yharnam, just pure hunter Maria.
The elegant hunter stroked the brim of her hat gently, the moonlight illuminating her delicate white face, her bright red lips slightly curled up, a beauty that was both enchanting and deadly.
Then Maria raised her head, faced the beasts flying towards her, the blood on her body turned into sharp blades in her hands, and she faced them head-on.
"Roar!!!"
After five minutes, the roars and cries of the beasts disappeared.
The blood dyed Maria's white scarf red and made her black windbreaker even darker.
"So the salt of the earth is still a no-man's land inhabited by beasts and monsters? Looks like I'll have to wait."
Maria controlled the blood all over the ground as gracefully as a vampire queen, but sighed helplessly.
Once the target is Heulia, it can only be Heulia.
Every change made by being involved in more history will be an additional burden for the Angels thousands of years later.
Maria decided not to take any risks and just wait here for an experimental target with interesting power to come to her.
……
This waiting lasts for countless days and nights.
Until one day, a demon finally set foot here.
"I heard that someone has been killing monsters in this area recently, which makes passers-by feel more at ease. That person must be you!"
A petite and pretty girl appeared in front of Maria with a bright and lovely smile.
She has long, smooth gray-blue hair, bright eyes and white teeth. Her hands are hidden in her long sleeves embroidered with the starry sky, revealing her delicate shoulders like jade.
It's just a bit flat.
She has a petite figure, fluttering clothes, and round, delicate bare feet, which are extremely cute and attractive.
Although it is indeed a bit flat.
"Uh...was it a mistake? I felt like you were thinking about something rude just now?"
"What's the matter?"
Maria glanced at her jade feet, then looked away and asked calmly.
At the same time, he casually drew blood from the giant monster's head, and the blood flowed back into its body through the wound on its wrist.
The ability to control blood is a power that Angel has put together by combining the abilities of some Honkai Impact 3rd Beasts. It is not strong in its initial state, but it can be enhanced by absorbing the blood power of its prey. The upper limit is very high, enough to ensure Maria's survival in historical data.
It wouldn't seem strange, there were all kinds of people in the Demon War, and a strong man who controlled blood was completely insignificant.
"You didn't wait for the Salt Demon Heulia, but you waited for the Dust Demon Hagentus first? But that's true. In the era before the flood, the Dust King's territory, Ogi Province, was directly adjacent to the Salt Underground, so it's not surprising that it was noticed."
Hagentus, or the King of Dust, looked at the ability Maria displayed without showing any surprise. He just blinked his bright eyes and smiled:
"I am the Demon God of Dust, Hagentus. You can call me the End. I live in Ogihua Island, far away in this direction. I heard that there is a kind hunter here, so I wanted to invite you..."
"Not interested. Goodbye."
Although a bit plain, the petite and cute girl undoubtedly meets Maria's aesthetic taste and orientation.
Unfortunately, her trip was for experiments.
All actions must be consistent with the goals set initially.
If we intervene too much, it will be a heavy burden on the other Angies.
It's a pity that such a beautiful girl disappeared in the future. But An Qi would not put herself in danger just for the sake of beauty.
Maria disappeared into the jungle.
In the end, it's all about the twists and turns.
"Do I look weird? Or do I look like a bad person?"
The demon girl couldn't help but puff up her cheeks.
You should know that she has been very popular with people and gods since her debut. Maria is the first one who runs away when she meets someone.
After all, she was not a domineering president, but Maria was someone she was concerned about.
From then on, Maria would "accidentally" encounter the Demon of Dust passing by in the mountains and wilderness every once in a while.
……
"Hey! This spring water is so clear, do you want to soak your feet together?"
"No, bye."
……
"What a coincidence! Are you here to appreciate the flowers as well? I didn't expect there are so many glass lilies in this area. I quite like this kind of flower."
"No, bye."
……
"Good evening! Oh, are you taking a shower? Excuse me, can I join you?"
"Clawba."
"Okay, see you next time!"
……
"I brought some pancakes made by an old chef at the entrance of the village. Would you like to try some?"
"You, don't understand what people say?"
"I understand, but there are some things I don't like, so I'll just pretend I didn't hear them. So, do you admire me? So come and have a taste. I brought you all the way here, and it was hard work."
"Ugh……"
Maria had a dull expression and sighed as she took the normal food that she hadn't tasted for who knows how long.
"I'm Maria. And thank you, it's delicious."
"You're welcome, Maria!"
In the end, he smiled like a calculating trader.
……
"Hello! I'm here again! Alas, but this may be the last time I come recently. A group of monsters came near Ogi Province. I have to keep an eye on them, otherwise everyone will be in danger. It's so troublesome just thinking about it..."
"Direction, distance."
"Ok?"
"Just consider it as returning the cake I gave you last time."
Maria withdrew her gaze from the bright moon and stood up on the polished boulder. There was a hint of helplessness and a hint of gentleness in her tone that she herself did not want to admit.
The cool and elegant figure, looking down from a high place without showing any arrogance, looks like a painting under the moonlight.
Guizhong was stunned for a moment and subconsciously pointed in a direction.
'It's just a small favor, it shouldn't affect the future.'
Maria thought so. Having made up her mind, she no longer hesitated. She instantly turned into a phantom and rushed out like a flash of lightning.
Chapter 112 The bleeding is not embarrassing anymore
"Wow—"
Ogihua Prefecture, returning home, a bird, a deer, and a man flew over from the direction of Jueyunjian.
It was the three immortals Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun and Gechen Langshi Zhenjun who heard that Guili Ji was in trouble and came to help.
The three immortals flew down from the sky and landed in the direction of the final breath. At the same time, a bird and a deer also transformed into human forms one by one.
But after landing, the three immortals who came to help found that they were finally standing on a blood-stained ground, with their hands clasped in their sleeves lightly touching their face, with an expression that looked like they were worrying about what to do.
"Liuyun, Yixiao, Ping'er, you are here."
"Finally, what's going on? Didn't they say that monsters are approaching in groups and that we are in danger when we leave?"
"Isn't this... what I said last time? There's a hunter who specializes in killing monsters in the middle of the trade route with Findelnir (Note: the future Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain), and I tried to make friends with him. This is what she helped me with."
In the end, I was explaining.
The three immortals looked at each other, then walked into the bloody land and looked around for a while.
After a while, Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun praised in a steady voice:
"There are many kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, and halberds, but every trace is clean and sharp, showing that the martial arts are superb. How can there be such a brave and skilled warrior in the world? The only question is, is there too much blood?"
"Her ability is to manipulate blood for combat, this is normal."
When I finally "encountered" it in the mountains, I had seen many similar scenes and had gotten used to it.
Master Liuyunjiefeng said:
"Controlling blood? That's a bit weird... But magic is magic, and it depends on the person. What do you think of her, in the end?"
"She? She's pretty good! Although she has been guarding the forest and seems to regard it as her hunting ground, she has never hurt anyone. People who trade with Findenir have become much safer because of her. I think she is a good person!"
Finally thinking of Maria's exquisite face, she smiled brightly.
Master Liuyunjiefeng then nodded.
"Then why don't you use your talent for persistence and trick her into coming down the mountain. This way she will be safer when she returns to the group."
"That's true. But forcing someone to do something is not a good idea. She has been standing there all the time. I always feel that there must be some special reason... Wait, what do you mean by beating and tricking? Have I ever tricked anyone? Have I ever beated and tricked you?"
