Thinking this, MEI couldn't help but feel fortunate for her decision to seal off the sea area around Xingcheng and notify Jiang Qiao immediately after the incident.
If it were someone else, foolishly rushing headlong into it... that would be a huge problem.
For example... well, thankfully it was 'Alice'.
"Regarding the issues raised by the public, should I send someone over?"
Feeling much better, MEI got back to the main topic.
With most of the other transmission routes eliminated, the remaining sources of transmission are naturally the civilians infected by the withering black mist and the soldiers of the fourth squad. They are also carriers of the 'epidemic' and must be dealt with properly.
"give it to me."
Jiang Qiao's answer was as reassuring as ever. Even though MEI, who was in the zone, was more used to looking at things from a rational perspective, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when she heard those words.
She didn't ask the former how to handle it, after all, given Jiang Qiao's past behavior, he would never let them down.
The communication ended, and the emerald green girl leaning against the sky had her snow-white skirt fluttering in the wind. Her bare jade feet, marked with symbolic patterns of collapse, lightly touched the air. 'Wendy' teased the crystal in her hand, which contained a large amount of withered black mist, water, and gas, with her slender index finger. Sensing something, she flew off in a certain direction.
As the black mist that filled Star City dissipated, the wind wall that protected and enveloped people disappeared. In a certain place in Star City, he slowly landed, his fair feet, which were completely exposed, stepped on the ground without being stained by even a speck of dust or dirt.
What caught Jiang Qiao's eye was a girl leaning against the corner of the wall—a striking figure in this deserted Xingcheng neighborhood.
The dark blue hair and baby-faced features were not unfamiliar to him.
This Miss 'Blue Wendy', who belonged to the pre-civilization, was now in a peaceful slumber, like a sleeping baby.
She is the Herrscher of Death who triggered this disaster.
Driven by a girlish playfulness, Jiang Qiao bent down and poked the slightly chubby cheek of the former civilization's Lan Wendy with her index finger—well, in terms of feel... it's definitely not inferior to the future Lan Wendy.
Of course—that includes nutrition as well.
From afar, they look like a pair of a's; up close...
Actually, it's pretty much the same as this body.
Wendy subconsciously pinched her car headlight, shook her head, and then got down to business.
Although playing with the unconscious Miss Lan Wendy was quite fun, Jiang Qiao instantly lost all interest when she thought about the future girl's not-so-healthy sleeping posture.
The most urgent task now is clearly to address the issues facing the people in the refugee areas.
Every second, there's a chance that one lucky person could die from organ failure.
But Miss Blue Wendy in front of them can save them.
By examining the behavior of the car lights—Jiang Qiao was certain of this.
Indeed, the body of the girl before them harbored the power of the Death Herald to wither and create.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you to lend me this body."
If you don't say anything for ten seconds, I'll take that as a yes.
"10, 9, 8...1!"
Clearly—Miss Blue Wendy had no objections whatsoever, as could be seen from her baby-like sleep; she wholeheartedly agreed.
next moment...
The girl slowly opened her eyes, revealing a beautiful, pure blue gaze, as clear as the ocean.
In contrast, there were only bewildered, bright green eyes—
"This face...is it my own?"
Upon waking, Seele stared blankly at her own face, instinctively thinking it was Wendy—because the two looked remarkably alike, differing only in color, and even sharing a high degree of similarity in personality. Seele had a very good impression of this friend she met on the chat app.
After all, she was rather timid and didn't have many friends to begin with.
But... this isn't right! Seele remembers that Wendy's hair was black on the outside and red on the inside, while hers was black on the outside and blue on the inside... This face in front of her looks so much like her!
"very good."
While Seele was completely confused, Seele slowly stood up and spoke in a soft, sweet voice full of milky sweetness, her words full of satisfaction.
Just as Jiang Qiao had predicted—this body did indeed contain something he needed.
As the initial spreader of the withering black mist, Seele is a true Herrscher of Death.
However, because Jiang Qiao blocked the door to the Cocoon several times, the Cocoon learned its lesson and did not portray Seele as the 'puppet Herrscher' who caused Kevin psychological trauma. Instead, it simply used her as a vessel for projecting and exercising power.
This makes the power of this Herrscher of Death exceptionally weak... well, it's not so much weak as her Herrscher core being 'outward-facing'—meaning she doesn't have the ability to extract Honkai energy from the imaginary space.
Can...
"This power is the real deal."
Black and white light shimmered in her slender palm, and the withered and decaying plants around her were reborn as a result. As Seele looked on in surprise, a smile curved her lips as she felt this power over life and death.
Although the manifestation of the effect has changed, he can sense that, apart from the fact that the imaginary singularity, which was easily blocked by him, has been cut off by the cocoon, the power of this core is no different from that of the Black Abyss White Flower.
Oh... the downside is probably that because it doesn't have an imaginary singularity for power, this thing can't be like the original Herrscher of Death, which could unleash a massive attack all at once.
This is why the Withering Black Mist, which could have instantly reduced things to ashes, is so weak. In order to avoid being blocked, the wall had to be blocked, but blocking the wall resulted in insufficient Honkai energy and therefore no strength. Thus, the Withering Black Mist, which looks like a 'Herrscher nemesis', was born.
It can be said that Cocoon has gone to great lengths in dealing with the Origin Herrscher.
"Um, what... what's going on?"
Seele's soft, sweet voice rang in her ears—she was clearly completely confused about what was going on. Standing in front of her was someone who, without her saying anything, seemed somewhat unfamiliar, or rather... she seemed to have turned green?
"You don't remember anything?"
"Uh..."
Faced with Jiang Qiao speaking to her with the face of 'Xier', Xier, the original owner, felt a little strange. However, upon hearing these words, she tried to recall, but obviously came up with nothing.
All she remembered was accompanying Wendy shopping... shopping... and then...
Can't remember!
Unfortunately, the backup repository of memories—Xi'er's head—is currently in Jiang Qiao's hands... well, to be more precise, Jiang Qiao is using it.
Although it's unclear why the original owner could use it, Seele, whose head was buzzing, obviously couldn't understand it.
'Seele' sighed—it would be simpler to just take it from this body... Oh well, it's not something worth worrying about anyway.
He gave Seele a brief explanation.
The latter's expression was somewhat incredulous.
Then I touched my lips... Ahhh!
"Alright, I'll take you to find Wendy."
"Eh--"
Seele wanted to say something, but the next moment she was picked up by 'Seele'.
In a princess carry.
At that moment, Miss Blue Wendy, who belonged to the previous civilization, blushed instantly.
No, why did they suddenly hug me?! And it's my own body hugging me!
It was spinning wildly in Seele's head—when there was no response.
Jiang Qiaofei, carrying Miss Blue Wendy, returned to the refuge area.
And this just happened to fall into Alicia's eyes.
—Although they initially admired him greatly because of his image as a senior and hero, when they actually started working with him... he seemed a bit useless.
It's not that they're useless, it's just... they seem a bit dim-witted.
The team members who had previously been in contact with 'Alicia' were particularly confused – how come Alicia-senpai has become so much better after only a short time?
Before, she was always confident and organized, but now... Alicia is definitely not good at clerical work!
Perhaps the only thing they can do is distribute food to the people and teach a lesson to some of the more unruly individuals.
Well, all in all... at least for Alicia herself, she felt that her role was quite significant.
This is called—maintaining social order!
If something can be solved with force, try not to think about it. After all, thinking about it... gives me a headache!
So—it's up to you! You naughty Jiang Qiao!
Adhering to this style of doing things, Alicia decided to see how Jiang Qiao did.
The first thing I saw was...
Is Jiang Qiao being held in another woman's arms? And in a princess carry no less?!
Alicia was stunned when she saw the green-skinned, blue Seele being held by 'Seele'.
This, this, this! You, you, you... You naughty Jiang Qiao, you're playing quite the trick!
Ellie, I'm working so hard on something important, and you're lying in another woman's arms, huh?!
You really enjoy it that much?!
Looking at Wendy's rosy cheeks, Alicia pouted, "I've never even hugged Alicia!"
