“Ahhhhhhh——!” Su Chang screamed.
"Hiss...!" Jiang Lianqiu gasped.
The two of them cried out in pain at the same time again.
Su Shang complained tearfully, "Why is it so easy for you to control me, but it's so hard for me to control your body?"
"Maybe because you're stupid?"
Jiang Lianqiu glanced at his right hand that was performing the Void Grip on his chest and said with gloating eyes.
This is also one of the conclusions drawn by the two after various experiments during this period - when both are fully awake, Jiang Lianqiu seems to be more likely to take over Su Shang's body against her will than Su Shang, but conversely, it is extremely difficult for Su Shang to do so.
"I'm in pain, aren't you? What good is there in dying together?"
"And what did you do last night? How come you didn't wake up even though I tried so hard to call you?"
After relaxing, Jiang Lianqiu washed up, with bubbles of toothpaste in his mouth, and answered vaguely: "I slept too late. Something happened..."
After listening to Jiang Lianqiu's explanation, Su Shang, who was combing her hair, blinked. Looking at the delicate face reflected in the mirror, she expertly tied her hair into two ponytails. "Ghost signal? Information pollution? Let me think about it. It seems that the Cloud Cavalry has a way to deal with this kind of enemy..."
Right!
Jiang Lianqiu's eyes lit up.
The Central Star Port is currently unable to identify the polluting individuals on Earth due to technical repair issues, but maybe Su Chang has a way?
"I remember that in the history of the Cloud Cavalry, when they were fighting a similar enemy, they collaborated with the followers of Flowing Light Heavenly Monarch to master some tactics to counter memes. Hmm... I can't recall what they were specifically. I'll return all the knowledge I learned in the academy and the military academy to you, Master!"
This is not something you can say with pride, stupid Shang Shang!
"Liuguang Tianjun?"
"That's what the barbarians call the Memory Star God, but those within the Immortal Boat who believe in this Heavenly Lord respectfully address him as Ming Fu Siming."
Those who believe in him call him Siming, those who are neutral call him Tianjun, and those who are hostile call him the Ancestor of Disaster.
Jiang Lianqiu nodded thoughtfully.
Although hunting is a common belief, the Xianzhou Alliance does not prohibit other beliefs, and there are also a small number of members who follow other star gods.
"Ah! I remember now!"
Suddenly, Su Chang's startled cry made Jiang Lianqiu pause.
The little girl kept opening and closing her mouth, babble:
"I remember the teacher at the Military Academy saying that by studying the rituals of the followers of Flowing Light Heavenly Monarch, once the Cloud Cavalry, embarking on a hunting expedition, form a massive formation, they can harness the might of the Emperor's Bow Siming and lock onto their target with the power of destiny. Even if the opponent is a disembodied meme, they can track them across thousands of light years!"
Jiang Lianqiu: “…”
Well said, but it's like saying nothing.
There is a ghost's destiny power in his world.
and many more……
Looking down at his hand still holding the toothbrush, Jiang Lianqiu looked strange.
Maybe there really is?
These days, after Jiang Lianqiu's popular science on the Collapse Universe, Belfast entered all kinds of information into the Central Starport database. Among the conclusions drawn after calculations, there was one:
——As Jiang Lianqiu and Su Shang's five senses communicated with each other, the inexplicable power that gradually emerged in their bodies during their practice might be the so-called power of destiny.
Considering that Su Shang was a wanderer on a hunting expedition, he might have unknowingly embarked on this path.
However, the power of destiny he absorbed did not exist in this universe, but was absorbed from the Bengtie Universe with the help of Su Chang as a medium.
However, even the Lianyun Cavalry needs to form a military formation to launch the hunting and tracking ritual. It is probably impossible for him to achieve this level alone.
"Li Dazhentou... ahem, Shang Shang, can you tell me about that tracking method?"
With the mentality of trying everything possible, Jiang Lianqiu still chose to ask.
After Su Chang's explanation, Jiang Lianqiu finally understood why the Yunqi Army needed to form a military formation to successfully track the enemy.
Because others are fighting a star war, the distance between the enemy and ourselves is calculated in galaxies and light years.
The amount of life force needed to track the enemy at this battlefield distance is simply not something that one or several Cloud Cavalry can bear. In addition to the military formation, various industrial equipment built by the Immortal Boat itself is also needed.
He is different. He just wants to find the polluted individuals on Earth.
"Maybe, we can really try it?"
Jiang Lianqiu curled the corners of his mouth, and the haze that shrouded his heart was dispelled a little.
Chapter 26: Taboo Number 19
The next day.
The time soon came to evening.
The weather forecast clearly said that today would be a sunny day, but the sky was gloomy all day long until the evening. The thick dark clouds covered the sky tightly, making people feel a little breathless.
In an ordinary coffee shop in Minami-Aoyama area of Minato-ku.
Kasumigaoka Utaha rushed here right after school without even having time to go home. She was now wearing a well-tailored school uniform, with her long black silk legs folded under her skirt, and she was biting the straw in her sundae in annoyance.
After torturing the poor straw until it was covered with shallow teeth marks, Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth and looked at Machida Sonoko in front of her.
Although it had only been a few days since we last saw each other, Machida Sonoko looked as if she had experienced some major change. Not only did she look several years older, but she also had thick dark circles under her eyes.
The light sound of the bottom of the glass hitting the table startled Machida Sonoko's shoulders, causing ripples to appear on the coffee cup she was holding.
Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes, and she was particularly concerned about the other person's lingering fatigue and strong sense of weakness.
"Is Miss Yuanzi playing some dangerous night game?"
The toes wrapped in black stockings suddenly pressed against the other's calves, and when Kasumigaoka leaned forward, a few dark red strands of hair fell from the ends.
"Like, for example—being choked by a vampire president and forced to work overtime?"
The silver spoon in Machida Sonoko's hand hit the rim of the cup with a clang.
Lightning flashed outside the window at the right time, making her pupils look pale.
Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously turned her head. Why did the spring thunder in this season look like a summer thunderstorm?
An inexplicable uneasiness wrapped around her heart like a thorny vine, pricking her painfully.
"I don't know what happened. Last night, the president suddenly gave us an order in the middle of the night, demanding that all company operations be suspended."
“There was no specific announcement on when it would resume, but the president’s tone was very stern.”
Machida's voice sounded like it had been polished with sandpaper, and she suddenly put her hands on her temples, her nails almost digging into her skin.
"Although all employees' salaries will be paid as usual, if business doesn't recover for a long time... wow, am I going to be unemployed, Shi-chan?"
"Don't give me that. You're a well-known editor in the industry. I also heard that you seem to know a very capable independent producer. How could you not find a job?"
Although Kasumigaoka Utaha was harsh in her words, the concern in her eyes became even stronger.
Suddenly, the sound of raindrops was heard outside.
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced out the window and turned her head back, but she didn't notice that the rain marks on the glass window suddenly twisted into a strange angle for a moment.
Her fingertips turned white from squeezing the sundae cup so hard.
"Don't worry, Shi-chan. I've already read the manuscript for your second volume. Believe me, as long as we step up our publicity this time, sales will definitely increase. The new content..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Kasumigaoka Utaha tapped the table lightly, interrupting Machida Sonoko.
The girl stared at Machida Sonoko with her wine-red eyes.
"You're not in a good state. Have you not slept all night?"
"How can I possibly sleep after receiving such a sudden notice?" Machida Sonoko tilted her head back and poured the last of her black coffee into her mouth. She licked her lips with the tip of her tongue and managed to perk up a bit.
Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, stopped shaking her legs, stood up, walked around the round table, and grabbed Machida Sonoko's arm.
"Let's go. I'm worried about you like this. I'll take you home and have a good rest."
"Woo woo, Shi-chan is such a good person~"
Although Machida Sonoko is a working person, she is now hanging on Kasumigaoka Utaha's shoulders like a child and standing up with her support.
The two left the cafe, and Machida Sonoko opened the umbrella she had brought with her when she went out because the weather was not right.
It was still a long way to walk from here to the station, and Machida Sonoko lived quite far from here, so after a few steps, Machida Sonoko said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "Shi-chan, why don't I take you home first? I can go back by myself."
After all, she is a member of society.
Kasumigaoka Utaha just stared at her editor in silence, her determined eyes saying it all.
"Then...let's take a taxi."
Machida Sonoko sighed.
"If you take the train, it will be too late for you to get home, Shi-chan."
Japan's ridiculously high taxi fares are naturally nothing for a well-known editor like Sonoko Machida.
Soon, the two women took a taxi to the high-rise apartment where Machida Sonoko rented.
The rain showed no signs of abating at this moment. There were few pedestrians on the street and people were walking hurriedly. Many wage earners who had just finished work were running quickly with briefcases on their heads.
Boom——!
Another muffled thunder rumbled across the sky.
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and was surprised to find that there were a few stars in the sky in the rain.
The stars formed a strange pattern in the sky, twinkling with an eerie silver glow.
She was not someone who had much interest in astronomy, otherwise she would have recognized it at a glance as the Pleiades in Taurus.
The Pleiades star cluster, which was supposed to be composed of seven sisters, now has only four or five stars visible. It seems that some kind of veil is trying to cover and distort the glow of the Pleiades star cluster.
"Shi-chan?"
"Nothing, let's go."
Withdrawing her gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha followed Machida Sonoko and walked into the lobby on the first floor of the apartment.
The elevator hummed slightly as it went up. Kasumigaoka Utaha was tidying up her messy school uniform while wondering what had happened at the Fuzugawa Library.
Soon, she discovered something was wrong.
She subconsciously raised her eyes, and when she caught a glimpse of the big "19" on the elevator display screen, she was a little stunned.
After staring at it for a while in disbelief, the girl said with a strange look on her face, "The elevator is broken?"
"Eh?"
Machida Sonoko looked over.
"The elevator is clearly going up, right? But why does it always show it's on the 19th floor?"
Upon hearing this, Machida Sonoko stared at the floor display screen for a while and found that the numbers on the screen had indeed not changed.
But the fact is that the elevator is constantly rising.
"Maybe the monitor is broken. I'll notify the building's property management later." Machida Sonoko said nonchalantly.
Just as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened with a ding sound.
The moment she followed Machida Sonoko out of the elevator, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the numbers on the screen again for some unknown reason.
19...
