Although there were some minor setbacks along the way, the decision to settle Xia Die in the city was made. The Saint Love Foundation was certainly unaware of this, but everyone who came out of Si Chen Lou would wear a unique one-on-one badge made by Wan Qi. It had a red background with overlapping golden ears of wheat and gears, a sword in the center, and a world map in the background.
Even without explaining its symbolic meaning, the precision and design of this handcrafted item by Wan Qi alone are enough to win a top prize in any fine craftsmanship competition. Furthermore, it possesses magical effects: a passive defensive shield and an active defensive shield. The latter requires user activation and can block any reconnaissance-related mystical spells.
Marcus: I feel inexplicably targeted.
Incidentally, this thing is made of red crystal. The red crystal that Wan Qi processed himself is extremely stable, it will not indiscriminately devour substances that come near it, and it is immune to "rainstorm".
This means that Sichen's team has become a special operations team that can ignore the impact of the "rainstorm". Currently, the St. Love Foundation only has this one team, and they do not yet have control over it.
Tsk tsk tsk, my condolences, hahahahahaha.
After arranging for Xia Die, Veltin called Wan Qi to his room.
As soon as Wan Qi entered the room, he was suddenly pushed onto the bed by Virtue.
At this moment, Wan Qi: <,???"
Chapter 80: Talulah to Assemble the Hand of Reconstruction
(I've started working overtime ('T"), so updates can only be reduced. Sorry.)
Wilding's sneak attack caught Wan Qi completely off guard.
The young man lacked martial ethics and ambushed me, a young comrade who is eighteen years and I don't know how many months old.
“Vildin, you…”
Just as Wan Qi was about to get up, he met Miss Si Chen's eyes. Her emerald green eyes were like beautiful gemstones, making one want to be captivated by them, especially when she was staring at you without moving.
"That's not a good idea; it's easy for people to misunderstand."
"hug me."
"Um? "
"hug me."
“!!!”
At this moment, Virtin was sitting on Wanqi's lap; this was not just a hint, it was practically an explicit statement.
Honestly, if you say Wan Qi had no thoughts about this scene, then he's worse than a eunuch. But if he did have thoughts, then he's betraying morality, the law, and the country's compulsory education!
“Wilding, don’t joke like that!” Wan Qi sternly refused.
"Because I'm still young? I've studied Aurora Law, I'm sixteen..."
"No means no!" Wan Qi showed no intention of backing down.
"Don't you like me?"
"Yes, precisely because we love it, we must take even greater responsibility!"
"Why? Is it because of Aurora's morality? This is not Aurora."
"But my education and values don't allow me to do that! Indulgence is easy, but it's hard to stop. Once you cross a line, it will only get lower and lower."
"If other people had your power, what do you think they would do?"
“That’s their business, it has nothing to do with me, and I don’t need to prove anything to anyone else. But for you, it’s hurtful, Veltin. You’re being a bit impulsive. What are you worried about? I’m right here. You can tell me what you want to say directly. There’s no need to go to such lengths. The highest standard of liking someone is mutual understanding, not just having a bed to settle things. Veltin, promise me you won’t hurt yourself, okay?”
Veltin grabbed Wan Qi by the collar, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
“You’re such a strange guy, but…” Veltin released his grip, then gently leaned against Wan Qi and whispered, “I like you even more now, what am I going to do?”
Wan Qi rolled over and hugged Virtue in his arms, whispering in her ear, "This means there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Yes, if the great mage Wan Qi really wants to make a move, how can a lowly Si Chen like me resist? I can only obediently submit."
The atmosphere relaxed considerably, and the two joked around with each other.
Once he felt more relaxed, Wan Qi asked, "So, what happened? Why did this happen all of a sudden?"
"I... I guess I was just jealous."
"Xia Die?"
"Yes, she's like a princess from a fairy tale, no, she's a real-life fairy tale princess. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a great temperament and a great figure..."
"And there's her dependence on me, right? The moment she looked at me when you reached out your hand."
“Hmm.” Veltin nodded gently, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. You’re not like that, but I just cared, so…”
"You don't need to apologize. This is a normal emotion that everyone experiences. It's about actions, not intentions. In fact, if you had just told me directly, it would have not only prevented me from doing so, but it would have made me quite happy. I didn't realize I was so charming."
"Yes, you are very charming," Wilting said earnestly.
"Read it, you're blushing a little, hehe?"
"I'm serious, Wanqi. You are really charming, and I'm absolutely certain that you will have no shortage of men around you in the future."
“Vildin, I…”
"Shh?" Miss Sichen put her index finger to Wan Qi's lips and shook her head, saying, "I don't want to hear any guarantees about this, and I don't need you to make any guarantees. But I will assure you that no matter what, you are my whole world. When you come back, my lamp will definitely be lit for you, even if it only illuminates a short distance."
Wanqi didn't say anything, he just hugged Virtue even tighter.
This is the most precious treasure in the world.
It was already midnight when Wan Qi came out of Wilting's room. There was no way Wan Qi could stay overnight in Wilting's room; it would be inappropriate, and besides, the two of them really hadn't done anything.
As a result, Wan Qi completely lost control of his facial expressions at the corner.
Xingdi, Apple, Snyder, and Xujisheng were standing there with an apple, looking towards Wilting's dormitory.
"Are you guys so free?"
At this moment, Wan Qi wanted to use a frost explosion to blast them out of here.
"Is it over so soon? Or are you out of holsters? I have some in stock, want one? It's free."
When Xingdi handed over the ultra-thin, flexible condom with the added magic, Wan Qi completely lost control.
"Hehehe, Xing-di-!"
Wan Qi, Status: Already corrupted.
That night, Hoshino's laughter continued all night long. Snyder, Kirito, and Mr. Apple did not comment on it and kept the events of that day strictly confidential.
After all, this was indeed incredibly reckless, and Wan Qi's magic was terrifying.
The ether magic that makes people laugh uncontrollably, combined with the light magic that provides continuous healing, ensures that the victim will not experience any physical danger or side effects during the process.
It wasn't entirely without side effects; Xingdi's expression remained cheerful throughout the rest of the day due to persistent facial muscle spasms. However, thanks to the continuous healing magic, she didn't feel any pain.
This method was originally designed for interrogation, and it's extremely effective.
A day later, Xingdi rubbed her face and said, "I meant well."
"Captain, please don't do anything so life-shortening anymore. Lord Wan Qi has already shown great mercy."
Mr. Apple certainly knew what kind of personality his captain had, and Wan Qi wasn't the kind of person who couldn't take a joke, but please consider the occasion. He was clearly just going to comfort Virtue, and you just handed him a condom. At the very least, you were making fun of his innocence, and it went too far even though everyone present was an acquaintance.
"I know, I went too far this time." Xingdi patted his cheeks and then looked at the ready-to-go rocking giant ship - Apple II.
Loading is complete; it's time to set off.
Virtin's target is Golden Island, where the Reincarnation Hand will definitely be targeting. However, the problem is that the current preview plot of "1999" only tells us that there is a place called Golden Island and the story that takes place there. In reality, Golden Island does exist (as confirmed by other intelligence information), but we don't know exactly where it is. We can only search for it little by little.
At this point, relying on games is no longer an option; you'll have to find it yourself.
Moreover, in the game, Virtin and the others went to the island because of an accidental attack. The clues were provided by Miss Radio, and the process was accidental and coincidental. But now, if that Gorgon can manage to break the ship that Vanchi gave him the Star Bracelet, he will take the same surname as Arcana.
At the same time, Little Mesmer also found Virtin and Vanchi, and the two are now almost inseparable.
She came to inform us of the analysis results of the Reconstructed Hand mask. The substance extracted from it was named "asymmetric nuclide R" by Laplace's researchers, and its composition was consistent with the water droplets of "Rainstorm".
Therefore, this is considered an important clue for the St. Love Foundation in its research on "heavy rain".
In contrast to the emotional breakdown of little Mesmer after that ordeal in the story, she now appears much more lively and cheerful, or rather, she seems to have a sense of relief as if she has been relieved of a heavy burden.
She did nothing wrong; it was all due to Constantine's inhuman schemes, and none of this would have happened otherwise.
Those in positions of power who are capable of doing good but choose not to are like beasts that devour people.
How did our ancestors deal with man-eating beasts? You think you're as wise as our forefathers?
Such a person should either never let their schemes be exposed, or once everything is exposed, all the previous things will be attributed to them, and the person involved will be freed from the guilt and pressure of the past.
Let Constantine suffer a bit; at least the most innocent one, little Mesmer, looks much healthier and more cheerful now.
After conveying this information, young Mesmer thanked Vanchi sincerely.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Wan Qi. If it weren't for you, I would have lived in the shadow of that incident for the rest of my life."
"This was not your fault in the first place. Besides, you are Virtue's classmate and helped us at the most critical moment. It is neither reasonable nor morally right for you to continue to be troubled by such a vile conspiracy."
Little Mesmer smiled and thanked him again before turning to leave.
Sunlight streamed into the corridor, and little Mesmer was full of energy today.
Just then, Sonnet came over.
"I heard some good news over there in the hall, a truly remarkable achievement, Si Chen. This is a major breakthrough in the fight against the Reshaping Hand, and everyone at headquarters is cheering. Although I don't understand the specifics of this ingredient... Is it a spell? Or a unique substance?"
“I think this is exactly what we need to investigate next. The Reincarnation Hand has a much greater advantage than the Foundation in this regard, but fortunately we have a secret weapon.” Veltin smiled and looked at Wan Qi.
"I've already seen that thing before. To put it bluntly, it's a product of the combination of supernatural power and physical matter. However, it's not without its costs. If you accidentally activate it, the user will be reduced to ashes or turned into a monster that obeys Arcana. If we reverse engineer it, is the Foundation planning to let the Reconstruction Hand breach its headquarters from within?"
Wan Qi's words startled Sonnet, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Si Chen.
"Vanchi has already informed the foundation's researchers about this, and they will keep that in mind in their future research," Wilting continued.
“Thank you for your help and kindness, Your Excellency Wanqi,” Sonnet said to Wanqi.
"It's just a small favor. In terms of safeguarding world peace, my goal is the same as the foundation's. As long as it doesn't involve red lines, we can cooperate. As for Ms. Sonnet, I'm very happy that you have a very accurate and firm understanding of your own identity."
Sonnet put away her smile and said seriously, "I have already chosen Sichen, so all decisions must be made from Sichen's perspective. I will keep this in mind and will not overstep my bounds."
"What a reliable assistant! I'm so envious," Wan Qi praised with a smile.
“If that’s what you think, I can be your assistant,” Virtue said with a sweet smile.
The sonnet suddenly made me feel a little superfluous.
Afterwards, the Sichen team held its final internal meeting before departure.
For this operation, Virtin will bring Parasite, Snyder, Stargazer, and Sonnet. Ms. Mossang and Forget-Me-Not will be on standby at the Hour Tower to provide necessary logistical support. Sophie also has her own mission: to help research information, to find out everything related to Golden Island. This requires going to the First Line of Defense Academy, and the contact person is an acquaintance—Matilda, nicknamed "Sonnet," the French princess recognized by the players.
However, games are games, and reality is reality. Liking, admiration, and love are three different relationships. Mixing them together would be utterly ridiculous. Relationships before crossing certain lines are considered close. Best friends are intimate little secrets between girls, which is understandable.
Sonnets versus Fifteen-line poems... Matilda still acknowledges Matilda's divination abilities and considers the other person to be an excellent classmate and a reliable partner.
In addition, Red Crossbow was added to the personnel deployment. The reason for calling her was simple: they needed aerial reconnaissance and strike capabilities. Furthermore, Wan Qi prepared extra "good stuff" for Virtin and the others to protect them.
Yes, Wan Qi will not follow the Veltin route, but will temporarily separate. The reason is simple: Arcana is most likely already waiting on Golden Island. If Wan Qi goes with them, and the two start fighting on the spot, Golden Island might immediately transform into Atlantis and embrace the entire Aegean Sea.
The situation was already very tense during World War I, and they were just hoping that the two sides would start fighting in 1913.
However, necessary safety measures are still in place. The dimensional phone's location and teleportation capabilities, along with a complete set of defensive accessories provided by Wan Qi, can help Si Chen's team hold out against Arcana's attack. Even if they only hold out for a minute, Wan Qi will wield his scythe and fight his way across the Aegean Sea to give Arcana a thorough explanation of the dangers.
It's estimated that the other side will also believe that Wilting and his group possess this level of mystical magic. In that case, a stable dynamic standoff will form between the two sides on the island, and only under such circumstances can more intelligence be gathered.
However, Vancier wouldn't be idle. He would go to Austria-Hungary to investigate the intelligence on the Reconstructed Hand, and also to admire the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which could only survive until World War I. After all, the next time he saw it, this country formed by the god of love would have become the Soviet Union.
What, you're asking which side Xia Die is on?
Please! They're not here to be mercenaries. Can't you be a decent human being?
Of course, considering that the newcomer has just arrived, he will work with Wan Qi for the time being to familiarize himself with the work environment.
Before leaving, Virtin said earnestly, "Wanqi, I know about the modern history of China, but the world now is just a silhouette after the storm. What we need to do is move towards the future, not stay in this moment."
"Don't worry, I won't let Remodeling Hand get away with this for nothing."
After all, this was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, one of the eight-nation coalition, with plenty of shady dealings. However, Virtin believed Wan Qi's words. With his strength, he had more than enough reason to launch the most righteous revenge against any European country in this era, and no one could stop him.
Is the foundation blocking it?
So you're just waiting for Wanqi and Reconstruction to gang up on the Foundation. They'll be even less likely to win, okay?
The fact that the stocks that could have tipped the scales are now willing to stay obediently in the middle position is itself the greatest act of kindness.
Just like how the Yellow River, the mother river, doesn't overflow, and the Central Plains dynasties are willing to kneel and sing praises to her every day, you can have the emperor sing it himself, or even have a band dance and sing it.
Thus, the Sichen team split into three groups: Wan Qi went to Vienna by himself, Wilting led a team to search for Golden Island, Sufby went to the First Line of Defense Academy, accompanied by Butler Carson, and Forget-Me-Not and Ms. Mosang would stay at Sichen Building, waiting for everyone's triumphant return.
