Chapter 249 I am a little fish (4)
After a brief discussion, the two decided to refrain from making any rash decisions.
It's a small matter if there's a live sex show hidden behind the courtyard, but if it's a deadly weapon, that would be a much bigger problem.
They found a room on the outermost edge of the house, the one closest to Koizumi, to stay in temporarily.
Every room in the house was covered in dust, as if no one had ever lived there. Clearly, Meng Li hadn't done anything else besides setting up a barrier around the house; there weren't even any small items like cleaning talismans inside.
"I feel that her feelings for this place are very complicated..." 6058 sighed softly, and according to her past memories, she used her spiritual energy to draw a cleaning talisman and cleaned the dust in the room.
Then, two more cushions were placed on the observer system.
At this stage, their need for sleep and food is minimal, and it's more cost-effective to use the time waiting for Lu Mingguang to arrive to consolidate their cultivation.
Unfortunately, just as they sat down, Meng Li suddenly appeared in their room without them noticing.
6058 instinctively stepped in front of Jingli, causing Meng Li to raise an eyebrow: "Little Black Fish, do you think you can even exchange a single blow with me with your current cultivation level?"
6058 ignored it and simply stood in the way of the scenery.
Meng Li wasn't angry; instead, she laughed, her shrill laughter almost tearing the entire room apart.
As she laughed, black mist emanated from beneath her feet, swirling upwards like a black veil enveloping her.
"Have you forgotten who brought you here? And who gave you the opportunity to take human form? Is this how you repay kindness with enmity? Hmm? Little black fish?"
A black finger, like a long fingernail, reached out towards 6058. 6058 knew something was wrong and assumed a blocking stance, but knew that he would definitely not be able to withstand this attack.
No one expected that Meng Li's personality in this world would be so strange. She had been so friendly with them before, but a single action could turn her into this.
At the critical moment, Jingli had a sudden inspiration. He quickly entered his personal space, which he hadn't used in a long time, and took out a stack of talismans from the system. Using his energy, he drew defensive talismans on one half and offensive talismans on the other half.
When you leave your personal space, time in the outside world remains unchanged.
Jingli used the sliver of spiritual/demonic power she had just mastered to throw out defensive talismans, forming an array. Then, all the attack talismans were thrown out, not towards Meng Li, but towards the finger formed from the black mist.
The energy in the talisman collided with the black mist, instantly producing a sizzling sound like water droplets falling into a hot pan. The black mist then dissipated, and most of the power that failed to dissipate was blocked by the defensive formation. The last bit that leaked in could be easily dealt with by 6058.
Meng Li withdrew her hand as if burned, her manic expression returned to normal, and she looked at Jing Li and the other person with deep eyes.
"To have cultivated to such a level in such a short time, is this the power of your inherited skills?"
She still seemed to be talking to herself, and didn't need anyone to answer her.
As she asked the question, the blackness surrounding her slowly dissipated, revealing her normal appearance.
She gestured slightly with one hand and said to 6058, "I lost control just now, but... as I said before, if you betray me, I will make you wish you were dead."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer. She left the room as if dancing, leaving Jingli and 6058 staring at each other in bewilderment.
Jingli was genuinely frightened. This was the first time he had faced such a dangerous person. If the other party hadn't been holding back, given their current state, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even half a move.
However, the two also gleaned some useful information from their exchange.
"This Meng Li seems to have mental problems. I'm not insulting her, it's true, it seems like she has a split personality."
Jingli nodded like a chick pecking at rice, fully agreeing with 6058's statement, and also shared her own findings:
"The black mist that she attacked just now was something similar to the shadows from the previous world, but it was very strong, stronger than anything we had encountered before. Fortunately, I can deal with these things using energy."
“A shadowy figure…” 6058 pondered. “The most urgent thing is for us to prepare more defensive items. The low-level defensive items in the system are useless in this world, and there aren’t many high-level item cards. I’ll see if I have any magic artifacts or the like that I’ve hoarded before that can be used multiple times.”
"Okay, I'll refine my talisman skills a bit more, and then I'll be able to draw talismans out of thin air, just like you, Mommy, without needing a medium."
6058 is deeply gratified by Jingli's progress.
In truth, his ability to directly command the power of this world stems from his past experience as an observer traveling between various worlds. For Jingli, however, this power is relatively unfamiliar.
Despite the dire situation just now, Jingli was able to react quickly and escape a certain death.
This was no easy task, but Jingli did it very well.
This also reassured 6058.
The higher the level of world they enter, the greater the difficulty becomes.
Although Cyphersey's control over these worlds may not be very strong, they have never faced Cyphersey directly since the world of Yu'an.
This kind of prolonged uncertainty is fine when you're unaware of it, but once you become aware of it, it can cause panic.
They saved some worlds, but what about the others?
If Sefosi was able to corrupt a world of such a high level, what about his own strength?
Is it really just like that fleeting meeting they had before, when they had all the advantages of timing, location, and people?
6058 pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at Jingli who had entered a meditative state, and his expression softened again.
Regardless of what the other person does, my own little idiot is visibly improving, and that's enough.
Besides, it's still uncertain who will ultimately face Seversey.
6058 thought to himself.
It would be best to send Mr. Yuan to capture the Zero Realm traitor; that would be more reasonable.
Sending a stupid little idiot who gets caught as a bug to do this? What kind of nonsense is this?!
6058 nodded, then suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Lu Mingguang through the observer system.
[6058: Bobo Xiaoming, do you know where Chunqi of this world went?]
There was a quick reply.
[Lu Xiaoming: I'm sorry, honey, I don't know. It's a long story. I'll explain it briefly after I catch up with you.]
[Lu Xiaoming: By the way, it will take about seven days to pick you up.]
6058 frowned, wondering why it was taking so long.
Cultivators are fast travelers, and with the existence of teleportation arrays, it wouldn't take Lu Mingguang more than seven days to crawl here.
So it seems the problem isn't with the distance.
6058 touched his chin.
Could it be because of Meng Li?

This world plays a crucial role in the transition, so it might be a bit long-winded. Xiaochun's appearance will be a tiny bit later! Don't forget about him, or he'll cause trouble!! (Sweats away the sprawling, clawing Chun Yuanyuan clinging to the author's shoulder)
