But if you really want to get to the bottom of this, Jiang, why not try looking for Polka Kakamu? There are various rumors that she has some connection to the IX Organization, but these are all unconfirmed rumors.
After reading the message sent back from the Black Tower, Jiang Lianqiu casually forwarded a copy of the message to Huang Quan.
After reading the interpretation of this talented lady, Huang Quan was thoughtful.
After dinner, she wandered around the mansion alone and unknowingly came to the rooftop.
“…Perhaps, the key to breaking the curse of nothingness lies with Lian Qiu.”
In addition to searching for Level IX, Huang Quan finally has a new goal.
"Maybe I can stay by his side and observe him for a while longer."
Of course, Huang Quan also admitted that there was another reason for his idea, which was to experience the new colors and tastes that he had not seen for a long time.
Suddenly, Huang Quan noticed that there was another person on the rooftop.
It was the little girl I met at the dinner table just now. If I remember correctly, her name seemed to be Eriri?
Eriri sat on a round stool, swinging her legs in black stockings that reached above her knees. She held a palette in one hand and a brush in the other, painting on the drawing board in front of her.
Although she usually uses devices such as digital tablets to draw illustrations, Eriri herself has a solid foundation in traditional painting and she has never neglected this skill.
Even though Jiang Lianqiu asked the robot servant to customize a high-tech paintbrush for Ying Lili that could mix any color she wanted anytime and anywhere, Ying Lili would insist on using the most traditional method when practicing on weekdays.
Out of curiosity, Huang Quan came silently behind Ying Lili.
The little girl didn't notice that there was a person behind her. She was drawing a map of the starry sky.
The dome of the ecological zone will turn off the simulated daylight at night, allowing people to see the real and brilliant starry sky.
At this time, Ying Lili had a paintbrush at the corner of her mouth, one on her left ear, and three on the fingertips of her right hand. She was using the three pens at the same time to leave different colors on the drawing board.
The moment he saw the drawing board, Huang Quan's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
"Again...color?"
"ah!!!!!!"
Eriri, who was concentrating on practicing, was startled and the paintbrush in her hand fell to the ground.
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Huang Quan bent down and helped Eriri who fell off the stool.
When her fingertips touched the girl's arm, Eriri was shocked again: "No... Wow? Your body temperature is so cold!"
Is this really the body temperature of a living person?
Standing up, Eriri looked up at Huang Quan strangely.
"Is there really nothing wrong with your body? Do you want Brother Qiu to arrange for a doctor to see you? Even though those people may seem silly at ordinary times, they are very reliable at critical moments!"
Huang Quan raised the corners of her mouth subtly. She didn't know how many times she had smiled since she got lost in this magical place.
It seems to be more times than in the past few hundred years combined.
"My body is fine. I said that nothingness will take away everything from everyone equally."
"like this."
As he spoke, Huang Quan's eyes gradually became empty and his mind went blank.
Under Eriri's incredulous gaze, Huang Quan's originally long blue hair quickly turned into a lifeless pale color from the top of his head.
Her skin also became paler.
The lost light in his eyes returned in an instant, and his pale hair turned dark blue again. Huang Quan earnestly advised Eriri, "Did you see that? Just like I said at dinner just now, don't be curious about nothingness, otherwise you will become unfortunate, just like me."
Ying Lili felt a chill in her heart.
The moment Huang Quan faded, Ying Lili subconsciously felt that the person in front of her was not really a living person.
It wasn't even a dead person, but a void where nothing existed.
The little girl pouted, and the slight dissatisfaction caused by Huang Quan's strange situation at the dinner table, where only Jiang Lianqiu could taste the food, disappeared.
At this moment, she was filled with heartache for Huang Quan.
793 scratched her head and Eriri muttered, "How pitiful... Oh, right! Did you mention the color just now?"
Ying Lili, who subconsciously wanted to do something to help Huang Quan, suddenly turned around with shining eyes and pointed at the half-drawn star map.
"Can you see the colors in my paintings? What do they look like?"
"I can see it." Huang Quan took a few steps forward and observed the unfinished painting in front of him. "It's very beautiful colors. The deep blue background, the pink, yellow and other warm-colored nebulae, and the various brightly colored starlights, I can see them all."
Huang Quan was very surprised. She thought Ying Lili was just an ordinary girl, but now it seems that this little girl with excellent painting skills is not ordinary.
Perhaps, in this magical place, there have never been ordinary people in the true sense.
"Great!" Eriri clapped her hands. "Maybe this can cure you!? Huang Quan sister, right? Wait for me to finish this painting!"
"This is not a disease..."
He wanted to say something to persuade her, but Ying Lili turned around and continued to write with hope. Huang Quan pursed his lips and did not explain any more.
She stopped talking and just stood quietly behind Eriri, watching her complete the picture bit by bit.
Chapter 419: Sister Mei, I Don’t Want to Die
"It's done!"
Throwing away the paintbrush and palette in her hands, Eriri raised her arms high as if praising the sun.
The painting tools thrown into the air disappeared in the light particles and were automatically retracted into her personal space.
Jumping down from the stool, Ying Lili held up the drawing board and said to Huang Quan, "Sister Huang Quan, take a quick look. Do you feel better?"
"I…feel fine, thank you."
Huang Quan hesitated for a moment and nodded imperceptibly.
"Really?" Eriri was a little suspicious, peeking out from behind the drawing board, her eyes blinking rapidly. "Are you kidding me? You can't lie to me! I have that shady girl at home who always lies to me, and that's enough for me!"
The dark girl, is she referring to the girl who always looks so elegant?
Huang Quan thought of Kasumigaoka Utaha, and vaguely remembered that the two of them had been arguing with each other at the dinner table.
Occasionally, the other one would even deliberately take action to snatch a dish from Eriri when she liked it, and others would just laugh it off when they saw this. It was obvious that although these two seemed to be at odds on the surface, their relationship was actually quite deep.
"I'm not lying to you, really." Huang Quan smiled faintly, "Your paintings are very beautiful. I feel very good after seeing them. These colors are very impressive. I think I can remember them for a long time."
Will even memories be gradually swallowed up by nothingness?
Ying Lili pouted her lips high, and after thinking about it, she took down the canvas and stuffed it into Huang Quan's hand.
"Then I'll give it to you. Take it. You'll always find it new. You won't forget it if you look at it more often!"
"Oh, why can my paintings allow you, Sister Huang Quan, to see colors?"
Huang Quan unfolded the canvas that had been stuffed into his hand, and examined it carefully for a while. He said curiously, "It has the power of existence. Although it is not as strong as the feeling given by Lian Qiu, it cannot be ignored. Existence can fight against nothingness. I think this is why it allows me to see colors~"
"I don't understand." Erili shook her head honestly. "Sister Feng often said these strange things to me, saying that maybe one day, Erili, you could use fictional canvases to change the real world."
"But I don't think I can do anything that amazing. After being with Brother Qiu, although I've gained some magical and bizarre powers, I can't fight like Sister Ya, nor can I manage a huge Silver Crown Star Ring like Vivian. Even Shang Shang is getting promoted. It seems like everyone has something they can do, but I can't do anything except draw."
"No, you're amazing."
Huang Quan put away the canvas and raised his hand to gently stroke Eriri's head.
"I can see that Lian Qiu and everyone else likes you very much."
"Yeah, I know!" Eriri nodded, her face once again showing the purest smile. "I can feel everyone's concern, so I won't be frightened by these things... Well, actually, I've been worried before, and then I was bullied by Brother Qiu... Ah, no, it's nothing!"
Sticking out her tongue, Ying Lili touched the back of her head embarrassedly, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
Huang Quan was very impressed by the twin-tailed girl in front of her. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to offer something very rare: "I have been absorbing the power of nothingness for many years and using it to fight against nothingness. I have some relatively unique understanding of existence. If you don't mind, I can teach you."
“It may not improve your painting skills, but it may help you master some other abilities.”
"Really?!" Ying Lili's eyes were bright and generous. She took the initiative to hold Huang Quan's hand, enduring the coldness, "Teach me quickly!"
"……it is good."
So, when Jiang Lianqiu also came to the rooftop, he found Ying Lili frowning tightly, holding a paintbrush and splashing paint on the canvas, while Huang Quan stood beside her, nodding and shaking his head from time to time, looking like an instructor.
"What kind of weird combination is this?" Jiang Lianqiu was stunned. "Huang Quan, can you draw?"
Huang Quan shook his head and said, "I don't know how, I'm just giving you some pointers."
"Brother Qiu, you're here!" Ying Lili threw down her paintbrush and ran over, twisting Jiang Lianqiu's arm and chattering, explaining what had just happened in a disorderly manner.
The little girl spoke very quickly and her voice was clear, like the sound of wind chimes, which was a real pleasure for the ears.
"There's more?" Jiang Lianqiu walked around to the canvas, wanting to see what Ying Lili had painted under Huang Quan's guidance. Instead, he saw a painting so abstract that even the term "abstract" seemed overly conservative...
"What is this? Pure color block graffiti?"
Jiang Lianqiu's brows twitched wildly as he looked at the strange patterns formed by various meaningless blocks of color on the canvas.
"I'm sorry, I can't draw, so I can only tell Eriri how I feel." Huang Quan explained apologetically.
"Don't blame Sister Huang Quan!" Ying Lili had completely sided with Huang Quan and bared her teeth at Jiang Lianqiu, "And don't be mean to me!"
"You are such a shrew. When have I ever been mean to you, Miss?"
Jiang Lianqiu gently pinched Ying Lili's soft face and rubbed her cheeks. As expected, he was soon rewarded with a kick from her that was neither too light nor too heavy. It was more of a coquettish kick than a resistance.
After enough laughter and joking, Jiang Lianqiu said to Huang Quan, "I forgot to answer your question before. If nothing unexpected happens, you can find the person who needs to return the bullet to Tiernen in Pinocchio."
"A sea patrol knight?" Huang Quan did not doubt Jiang Lianqiu's prophetic words.
"Come to think of it, you should be able to enter the horizon of existence anytime and anywhere, right?"
Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, then became serious.
"Lian Qiu, where do you want to go? That place is one of the myriad manifestations of the Sleeping Formless Ones. I have never seen anyone who has gone too deep into it return."
"Brother Qiu, are you going to meet that nothingness? How about not going? Sister Huang Quan said he is super scary!" Ying Lili also held Jiang Lianqiu's big hand tightly and persuaded him with a worried look on her face.
"I'll just take a look from a distance and confirm one thing." Jiang Lianqiu comforted Ying Lili, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"Really?" Eriri confirmed, "Then... then I'll accompany you!"
"Okay." Taking Ying Lili's hand, Jiang Lianqiu said to Huang Quan, "Please, Huang Quan."
"...Okay, I'll watch you. If you try to go any deeper, I'll send you back immediately."
Huang Quan sighed.
"Of course." Jiang Lianqiu suddenly thought of something and said with a rather malicious tone, "I don't want to die yet, Sister Meiyi."
Mei Yi, the guardian of the Thunder Forgotten River: “????”.
Chapter 420: Come, draw a sexy picture for the Void Star God!
The horizon of existence.
The One who sleeps without form is one of the myriad representations of nothingness IX.
This place does not belong to the real universe, but is located in the gap between existence and nothingness.
In metaphysical terms, this place is like the Yellow Springs Road leading from the world of the living to the underworld.
Perhaps this is the reason why Huang Quan abandoned his former name and used Huang Quan as his surname.
The sky was an endless expanse of gray-black, and beneath the feet was a vast expanse of water that felt like flat ground, its depth impossible to ascertain.
And in front of us is a huge black hole.
"Wow...it's so desolate here!"
As soon as she entered this place, Ying Lili grabbed Jiang Lianqiu and Huang Quan's hands tightly on her left and right.
She looked at the huge black hole in front of her with fear in her eyes. Although her legs were shaking, she was strong enough not to retreat or fall down.
This surprised Huang Quan a little. She thought that the little girl would be so scared that her legs would go weak and she would sit on the ground... or on the water as soon as she saw the face of the Sleeping Formless Man.
"Don't look at her like this, Zhai Lili is also very strong."
As if seeing through Huang Quan's thoughts, Jiang Lianqiu praised Ying Lili.
