Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

"I want to be with you forever..."

Shen Qinyin's pupils contracted slightly and her breathing suddenly stopped for a moment.

She could feel Tang Miao's warm breath gently brushing against her lips, with a faint scent of strawberry, making her mind a little dazed.

Before she could speak, the other party's kiss touched her lips again.

This time, it is no longer a light touch like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Shen Qinyin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the tips of her ears turned a shade of red.

Tang Miao's lips were soft and warm. With cautious tentativeness, he gently covered her red lips.

Shen Qiyin could feel the other person trembling slightly, but he stubbornly refused to back away.

This realization made her heart feel sour and sweet, and at the same time, her brain completely shut down at that moment.

I am here......

I'm with a girl...

kiss?

Chapter 157 Thoughts

At this moment, Shen Qinyin thought a lot.

She recalled her first encounter with Tang Miao, how he had fought for her like a desperate man, the many dangerous experiences they had, and the solemn promise they had made last night to entrust their lives to each other.

How many people in this world can trust someone so much that they can completely entrust their life to that person?

I am afraid that apart from parents, even beloved lovers, close partners, and even one's own children may not be able to achieve such trust.

In the virtual carnival woven by social media and the desert of human relationships cut by urban neon lights, trust in modern society has long faded into a rare exhibit in a window.

Even lovers who spend every day together will think twice before signing the property deed, and blood-related children may not give an inch when it comes to the distribution of the inheritance.

Those trusts that were once considered natural and self-evident have become a game of personal relationships that requires precise calculations in the information age built by surveillance cameras and property notarization.

Emotions in modern society are as convenient but bland as instant noodles, and there is always a transparent layer of defense between people.

What's more, Shen Qiyin and the others are currently in a precarious situation.

Because of this, that kind of unreserved trust appears so dazzling, like a lighthouse that suddenly lights up in the dark night, and we will always yearn for it.

Tang Miao's fingertips gently traced her cheek, with careful cherishment.

I originally thought that confessing my feelings would be a difficult thing, but when this strong emotion surged into my heart, I couldn't suppress it even if I wanted to.

Tang Miao saw that Shen Qinyin's eyes were slightly red. For Shen Qinyin, this feeling was also very precious.

But how should she deal with Tang Miao's confession?

The other party has already opened his heart, she can't possibly play dumb and mistake this special "love" as mutual affection between best friends, right?

Shen Qinyin's fingers froze in mid-air, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something.

She looked at Tang Miao's expectant eyes, and a sour pain arose in her chest.

Reason and emotion were tearing fiercely in her mind. She knew better than anyone what this feeling meant.

But in this crisis-ridden world, any weakness can become a fatal flaw.

What's more, she is not ready to face this special feeling...

"Tang Miao, I..."

Shen Qinyin's voice was dry and unlike her own. As she spoke, her fingertips unconsciously pinched into her palms.

The light in Tang Miao's eyes gradually dimmed, but he still smiled at her.

That smile was like a blunt knife, slowly cutting Shen Qinyin's heart.

"It's okay." Tang Miao gently held her trembling hand, the temperature of his palm was surprisingly hot, "I'm already very happy to be able to express this to you."

She lowered her head and stroked the back of Shen Qiyin's fair hand, whispering, "I know what you are considering, so I will wait for you. You don't have to answer now..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden explosion-like roar from the door of the next room.

Shen Qiyin instinctively protected Tang Miao under her body, and the dust and ceiling paint that fell off hit her back like a rainstorm.

"Qiyin, Tang Miao!!"

A nimble figure rushed into the room. After seeing them, the figure quickly rushed up and hugged Shen Qiyin tightly in his arms: "Qiyin, you're okay, you're okay! I was scared to death, I'm glad you're okay..."

"elder sister......"

Shen Qinyin's expression was stiff, and she held Lin Qiutang in her arms with somewhat sluggish movements. Xiaoxiang followed closely behind her and entered the room.

"We've confirmed the master's physiological condition is normal," Xiaoxiang said with a sigh of relief. "I can rest assured now. My power reactor and algorithm core nearly exploded because of this. It was a truly amazing experience."

Shen Qinyin was held tightly in Lin Qiutang's arms, and her sister's strength was so great that she almost couldn't breathe.

She could smell the familiar faint fragrance on Lin Qiutang's body, mixed with the smell of smoke and dust from her hasty journey. There was also a fine layer of sweat on her neck, and it was obvious that she had rushed all the way here.

"Sister, I'm fine, you hugged me too tightly..."

She patted Lin Qiutang's back gently, her voice a little muffled.

Lin Qiutang then let go of her slightly, holding her face in his hands, and carefully checked her. After confirming that she was really safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, his tone filled with a bit of blame and heartache:

"You idiot, you were too impulsive. Do you know that my heart almost stopped when I saw you disappear? Next time you encounter this kind of danger, contact me immediately and we can act together. Do you understand?"

Shen Qiyin looked at her slightly red eyes, her heart softened, and she nodded: "Well, I understand."

"I know, I know. You always say you know, but you always act impulsively..." Lin Qiutang's eyes dimmed, and she sighed self-blamingly, "This is also my fault. I am an incompetent sister..."

"Don't say that. It's not that I'm weak, it's that these things are too abominable."

"You, you actually comfort me at a time like this. I'm really not qualified to be your aunt..."

Lin Qiutang rubbed Shen Qiyin's hair, then turned to look at Tang Miao, his tone softening a bit: "Tang Miao, are you okay too?"

Tang Miao smiled slightly, her expression returning to normal: "I'm fine, thanks to Qiyin's quick reaction. If it weren't for her, I would have been in danger this time."

"Yes, we all owe this girl too much. We must find a way to compensate her in the future."

Lin Qiutang nodded, his eyes lingering briefly between the two of them, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't ask any further questions.

She put her arm around Shen Qiyin's shoulders and said briskly, "Let's go, let's leave here first. Kana is still waiting for us outside. Thanks to her this time, we were able to find you in the first place."

Shen Qinyin subconsciously glanced at Tang Miao's reaction out of the corner of her eye. The other party was standing quietly aside, with a faint smile still on her lips, but her eyes were slightly lost. When she saw Shen Qinyin looking at her, she immediately covered it up with a smile.

The other person's expression made Shen Qinyin's heart skip a beat, and a feeling of bitterness rose to her nose.

Lin Qiutang noticed something was wrong with her and looked sideways at her: "What's wrong? Why are your eyes so red?"

"No, nothing!" Shen Qiyin quickly shook her head and coughed to cover it up. "Maybe the dust just now got in..."

Lin Qiutang raised an eyebrow and gave her a half-smile, but didn't expose her. She just pinched her cheek and said, "Okay, when we get back, I'll let Xiaoxiang check you out."

Shen Qinyin nodded obediently, but her heart was in a mess.

She didn't know how to face Tang Miao's feelings, nor did she know how to explain this complicated feeling to her sister.

After all, she had never experienced such a relationship. Both parties were girls, and Tang Miao's confession made her a little at a loss for a moment.

But she didn't object...

Perhaps, I already have the answer to this feeling in my heart, but now, the time is not ripe enough...

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

When I become a little stronger and have the power to completely expel the black tide, I will be able to provide them with a safe environment.

By then, I will give the answer myself.

Chapter 158: The Way to Kill Kuroshio

After returning to Titan's base, the first thing Shen Qiyin did was to tell Lin Qiutang and the others about her entire experience of that terrifying night.

With Tang Miao's supplement, Lin Qiutang and others who were not attacked by the entity basically understood their entire experience last night and the general capabilities of the entity.

"It was indeed a thrilling night. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I narrowly escaped death..."

Lin Qiutang felt a lingering fear just by listening to what Shen Qinyin and the others said. Fortunately, her sister's mental strength was strong enough, which enabled her to survive in the idealistic world dominated by the spirit, and even successfully killed the entity that attacked them.

The following is a discussion and summary of the characteristics of this entity.

Tang Miao carefully recalled the situation at that time. She only remembered that she was about to find Shen Qinyin to talk, but as soon as she knocked on the door, she was dragged into the spiritual world by that thing.

After much thought, it seems that the only triggering mechanism is the act of "knocking on the door".

"This shouldn't be..." Lin Qiutang shook his head and said seriously, "If it's knocking on the door, we have to repeat this action many times every day, right?"

"That's right." Tang Miao also stroked his chin and echoed, "Whether it's me, Sister Qiutang, or Xiaoxiang, we all have to knock on the door when entering or leaving."

"Are you implying that I don't like knocking on the door, dear?" Kana's seductive voice came from the side.

"No, be serious, Kana, let's talk business~" Tang Miao curled her lips helplessly, "By the way, you also know that you have a bad habit of not knocking on the door, right?"

"I love seeing you guys panicking during surprise inspections. It's so cute~"

Kana looked like she had no sense of crisis at all. Even when talking about such a serious topic, she still maintained a nonchalant smile.

This woman is way too frivolous. After all, human lives are at stake...

Shen Qinyin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she knew very well that Kana was not really frivolous and couldn't understand the situation. Lin Qiutang told her that on the night she and Tang Miao were brought into the spiritual world, Kana spent a lot of effort to find them.

She is not the kind of person who likes to show her emotions on her face. No matter where she is, she always has that signature indifferent smile on her face, and you have no idea what she is really thinking.

But one's actions may reveal one's true heart. At least judging from her actual actions, Kana still cares about this team.

Lin Qiutang held her cheek and murmured softly, "If it wasn't for the knock on the door, were there any other details we didn't notice?"

"Well......"

Everyone lowered their heads, looking thoughtful.

The entity's attack this time was so short and sudden that it was difficult to notice the details.

What on earth triggered its hunting mechanism...

If it wasn't a knock on the door, then what was it...

"Knock, knock... huh?"

Shen Qiyin chewed over these words quietly. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind and she raised her head abruptly: "Wait, I know. It's not the action of knocking on the door, but the rhythm of knocking on the door!"

Her words stunned everyone.

"Knocking...rhythm?" Tang Miao was the first to react, his eyes widening slightly, "Wait, you mean..."

"Yes." Shen Qiyin quickly walked to the wall and tapped the door three times with her knuckles.

"Dong dong dong."

Nothing happens.

"Qiyin, what are you doing..."

Lin Qiutang's expression gradually became solemn.

"This is the rhythm we usually use to knock on the door. It's fast and continuous." Shen Qiyin withdrew her hand, her fingertips still lingering on the wooden board. "But when Tang Miao came to see me last night, the knocking rhythm was quite slow, and the intervals between each knock were quite even, unlike the random knocking sounds that people usually make."

The narrow Titan suddenly became quiet.

Kana's casual smile gradually faded. She rubbed her chin thoughtfully and murmured, "Interesting... So this entity isn't targeting the act of knocking, but the specific frequency of knocking?"

"This..." Lin Qiutang smacked his lips in disbelief, "Could it be like this?"

"I think it's very likely." Shen Qiyin nodded seriously, "Otherwise, I can't think of any other details."

"It's like a password." Kana narrowed her eyes and smiled again, but there was a hint of danger in her smile. "What a naughty setting~"

Xiaoxiang's dark golden pupils flickered a few times, and he said seriously, "According to the analysis of the existing database related to entities, this kind of entity that uses sound frequency as a trigger condition is usually related to rule-based curses.

Once someone accidentally triggers its hunting mechanism and reproduces such a death code, they will be dragged into its domain.

"Yes, the spiritual world, but there's one key point. When we dealt with that entity yesterday, I noticed that after the entity dissipated, the spiritual world didn't completely collapse. Only the area where Tang Miao and I were collapsed."

Hearing Shen Qiyin's words, Lin Qiutang immediately added: "You mean, there are not just one entity attacking you, but many?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that. I suspect the entities that attacked us are just pawns. There must be a 'creature' that dominates everything in that space."
