#600 - Chapter 598: Reunion
“A small test of the Doppelganger Technique, remotely conveying a thousand miles of affection.”
Similar to Miao Kui's approach, after breaking the illusion, Zhu Qing'an also used the Doppelganger Technique to explore the path, ensuring she wouldn't fall into a trap.
Although she didn't have a Life Paper to point to Qi Jing's location, she had Captain Jack's compass, which could also find Qi Jing.
She could even directly search through walls.
However, what troubled her was that her captain was constantly moving.
The compass needle would turn clockwise for a while, then counterclockwise, and the speed was very fast, making it difficult for her to expend source energy to search for Qi Jing through walls.
I've got it!
With a flash of inspiration, Zhu Qing'an held the compass upright, observing its angle.
Looking at it this way, the needle was always pointing slightly downwards horizontally.
Is the captain on the level below?
She abandoned the method of finding him by passing through the maze and directly teleported:
“Hoist the sails and cross the vast waves, instantly traveling thirty thousand miles.”
Due to the unknown situation and her lack of source energy, she didn't choose to teleport directly to Qi Jing's side, but instead landed at the same height as Qi Jing.
But she really didn't expect that she would directly teleport to ten thousand miles above the ground!
The sudden feeling of stepping into empty air didn't panic her; Zhu Qing'an still maintained her usual elegance:
“The roc rises with the wind in a single day.”
A roc caught her just two meters after she started falling.
After stabilizing, she held the compass and began to observe the environment and search for Qi Jing.
Having visited Sky City before, she immediately recognized the origin of this base and instantly knew what this building was—Sky City.
At the same time, she also saw a black figure rapidly moving towards her in the distance.
“Senior Zhu! Amy Herl!”
“Captain, this is Sky City, and it's bigger than the three Sky Cities we discovered before.”
Seeing Qi Jing running upside down towards her, Zhu Qing'an directly explained the situation to him:
“The previous Sky Cities didn't have this kind of trap, which can pull people into an illusion and teleport them to the maze at the bottom of the city.”
“What? Illusion?”
“Yes, we were all caught in an illusion; you weren't, so you don't know.”
“No wonder, no wonder Old Song hasn't woken up yet.”
Qi Jing relaxed his brows.
He had been searching frantically and finally only found two teammates.
One was Song Jiang, and the other was Yin Ci.
However, both of them were lying unconscious on the spikes, and no matter how he called, they wouldn't wake up. He thought they were under some kind of curse.
So it was an illusion; that's okay then.
Just find a purification-type ability user to wake them up easily.
“Senior, it's good to have you; let's go find the others.”
With the guidance of the compass, he didn't have to run upside down frantically on the base of Sky City.
Just fly in the direction.
“Find the nearest teammate, this way.”
Zhu Qing'an, having confirmed through the compass that everyone was alive, directly activated it according to distance, pointing to a location.
“Let's go!”
......
Half an hour later.
Qi Jing, who had finally found all his teammates except for Miao Kui, looked at the direction of the compass and frowned again.
Why is Old Miao's landing point a bit different?
Everyone's teleportation location was above a spike trap, where they fell in, so they could easily sense them at the bottom.
But they had already reached Miao Kui's horizontal position but didn't sense him.
This meant that his landing point was thousands of meters above Sky City, not in the maze at the bottom.
“If Old Miao isn't in the maze, will something happen to him? The top might be more dangerous than the maze.”
Listening to Qi Jing's not-at-all worried tone, Zhu Qing'an said:
“Not necessarily. According to the research on Sky City, besides some automatic cannons to prevent external attacks, there are generally no harmful weapons inside, nor are there any creatures.”
What she "wants" to find most now is the "alive Miao Kui." Since there is a pointer, then he is still alive.
Besides, he has so many life-saving tools; there is no need to worry too much.
“Let's go, up!”
Golden Skyline - Triple!
♤ ♧ ♡ ♢
Half an hour ago.
「Mew Pass, I can also transmit sound now, aren't I amazing?」
Miao Kui walked on the safe path scouted out by his doppelganger, excitedly using his ability on Mew Pass on his shoulder.
Since his ability can only be used on living things, and most of it is mental damage, he thought about using the addiction of using his ability only to transmit sound to Mew Pass.
Mew Pass on his shoulder meowed:
“Mew~~~”
However, in addition to the sound Miao Kui heard in his ears, he could also sense Mew Pass's thoughts in his mind:
「Amazing! Mew!」
「Mew Pass, now I can hear your thoughts~」
「What? Can the poop shoveler understand my thoughts? Impossible!」
「Nothing is impossible, Mew Pass~」
Mew Pass listened to the voice in its mind, staring hard at Miao Kui with its round eyes.
Mew, what?
The poop shoveler is too scary!
Wouldn't all the small yogurt that this Mew has hidden be heard by him?
「Oh? Mew Pass, you hid yogurt?」
「No! I didn't hide the yogurt in Kirby's belly!」
「Exposed, Mew Pass, in Kirby's belly? You're something else」
Miao Kui really didn't expect that Mew Pass, who doesn't usually play games, could actually convince Kirby to hide food in its belly.
That's Kirby, who eats everything.
When did they become so close?
「Let's not talk about this; poop shoveler, there seems to be a bird in front!」
「Got it!」
Miao Kui's mental perception can still easily detect the appearance of an emotional creature around him.
A mental fluctuation appeared in the uninhabited maze; it's hard not to notice.
What could it be?
He held the remote control in his left hand and the gunblade in his right hand, which could be used at close or long range, and quietly approached this corner.
Sneakily poking his head out |•ω•)っ.
It's a Void Spirit Bird!
This blue bird was grabbing Mew Pass's doppelganger, seemingly thinking about how it got here.
In fact, that's exactly the case.
「How did this wingless creature come to the hatching ground?」
Miao Kui easily read its current thoughts.
Ding!
He pressed the remote control, and the larger Void Spirit Bird in front of him was instantly frozen in place.
Mental severing directly made it unable to control its body.
Then, he used mental manipulation to take over its control of the body, making it his puppet.
Miao Kui once again marveled at how outrageous his ability was.
As long as he transforms into a specific beautiful girl, he can use all of her abilities and directly possess the matching level of proficiency; it's simply invincible.
Like this transformation, if he were only given one ability without the proficiency, he might have shattered the Void Spirit Bird's head when using mental manipulation, and even affected Mew Pass next to him, messing up its brain as well.
Wives are just strong!
It's just a bit unstable.
「Mew Pass, guess what kind of information it can provide us?」
「This Mew guesses there are small dried fish here!」
「Then let's see if there are small dried fish here.」
