"How can dust be worthy of polluting the night?"
"?!"
Kamishiro Chiho was stunned, and for a moment thought she had misheard.
She couldn't understand, she really couldn't understand—
At a time like this, how can this guy still be so stubborn?
dust?
Are you talking about me???
Are you kidding me?!
Upon realizing that Qiji missing, Kijika immediately rushed to White Harbor.
After searching several places, I finally found it in this secluded alley.
Seeing that Qiji was actually facing off against a fourth-tier Echoer, Kijika's heart jumped into his throat.
They were ready to make a move immediately!
However, before he could take action, he first had to turn on the recorder.
There's video evidence, so we can have an explanation to give to the Echo Association later.
The surveillance footage shows he didn't intentionally interfere!
It's because Qiji is the most outstanding student in the academy and the future of the City of Kindling!
For the sake of the City of Kindling, he must save Qiji!
Even so, doing so would be disobeying orders.
However, just as Kijika was about to make his move, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.
Centered on the Qiji, all the light in the alley was suddenly drained away!
It's as if someone has completely erased it from reality with an eraser.
"?!"
What the heck?
This feeling of déjà vu...
Isn't this just someone's shameless trick?!
Unpleasant memories flooded back, and Kijika silently retreated into the shadows, deciding to wait and see for the time being.
Although it seemed outrageous, at that moment he had a faint feeling that this masked kid might actually have the potential to create Miracle.
If that's the case, then intervening now wouldn't be helping him, but rather harming him.
After all, such an opportunity to break through in a desperate situation is rare and hard to come by!
How can dust pollute the night?
The moment Qiji finished speaking, there was a snapping sound, and the mask on his face split in two.
Qiji took off half of his mask—
This time, however, he removed the top half, not the bottom half.
The moment the mask slipped off, it was as if an invisible light suddenly shone from the face that had been hidden for nine years.
It was a breathtaking perfection!
Qiji's upper face has sharp and stunning lines; every contour seems to have been calibrated by the hand of a god.
However, what is most captivating are undoubtedly the corners of his eyes and the tips of his eyebrows—
Fine, silvery-white crystals, like the thin frost of early winter, spread along the brow bone, reflecting a very faint, cold light on the skin.
Those were the outward signs of Echo Erosion Syndrome, yet they resembled some kind of ancient carving, both magnificent and mysterious.
Below her right eye, a light-colored mole adds a touch of tenderness to her flawless, sharp face.
Liuli stood protectively in front of Qiji, keeping a close eye on Kamishiro Chiho, wary of any sudden attack.
However, the next moment, Liuli was surprised to find that Kamishiro Chiho's expression suddenly became incredibly strange—
His eyes widened suddenly, and a sickly blush rose to his cheeks.
Kamishiro Chiho held her hands to her chest and began to breathe heavily, her breath coming in ragged gasps.
"That face... that face... you brat!"
Such a beautiful face, how could you have been hiding behind a mask all this time?
Wasting resources
Unforgivable! Unforgivable!
I'm going to tear your face off and keep it as my keepsake!
Give it to me! Give it to me!
Give me your face!!!
Face?
Liuli realized something, and belatedly turned her head sharply to look behind her.
However, she missed it perfectly.
The half of Qiji's face that had just been revealed was now mostly covered again by the tie he had loosened himself.
Qiji used the [Silver Wish] to blindfold himself and tied it in a knot behind his head.
That stunningly beautiful face, capable of driving one mad, had once again concealed most of its true form before Liuli turned around.
"?!"
What did I miss?!
This thought flashed through her mind, and the next moment, Liuli's heart was filled with doubt again.
She didn't understand what Qiji was trying to achieve by doing this.
He removed the upper half of the mask and then covered his eyes with a tie...
Wait a minute, the action of covering one's eyes... it feels so familiar...
At the same time, the comments section erupted in excitement because of Qiji's action:
"Holy crap! The upper half of Prisoner Ji's face has finally been revealed!!!"
"Is there any expert who can piece together the upper and lower parts of Prisoner Ji to reconstruct his true appearance?"
"Holy crap, the lower half of her face was already amazing, but the upper half is even more incredible!!!"
"Production team! How dare you use my face as the original artwork for the Prisoner Ji without my permission? Pay me the portrait fee!!!"
"Awsl! Shahaha..."
"No, stop swooning! Look at Prisoner Ji's eyes... those silvery-white crystals... could it be Echo Erosion Syndrome?"
A sharp-eyed comment in the live chat pointed it out, and the other viewers looked closer and closer, until a bad premonition suddenly arose:
"Holy crap, wait, no, no, no!"
"So... you're saying you've been wearing a mask all this time because you don't want to expose your Echo Disease?!"
"Holy crap, no way? Are they going to throw a shred of violence?!"
"I'm Chovy! The production team doesn't want me!!!"
Chapter 98 writes the Final Chapter! The only solution for Qiji's victory! (3-in-1)
Qiji covered his eyes with the [Silver Wish].
Unlocks the second form of [Silver Wish], the Craft Essence form —
[Silver Frost, White Together]!
[Note: This form currently only unlocks the appearance! More features are coming soon!]
"..."
This damn system notification, why does it feel like it's trying to trick him into spending money?
Well, since it was bought with a discount and installment payment, Qiji couldn't say much about the shortfall in the weight of [Silver Wish].
It doesn't look down on Qiji being poor, so how could Qiji look down on it?
His silver-gray tie was pulled back tightly at the back of his head, tied into a neat knot by Qiji.
And in that very moment—
Large amounts of silvery-white crystals flowed and spread from the tie like melting snow!
His Qiji, and the ink on his hair was slowly fading.
As if it had been bleached, its jet-black hair was gradually dyed a cold, clear silver-white!
Then, extremely fine, silvery-white crystal fragments began to flutter down around his body, shoulders, cuffs, and the edges of his clothes, like living snowflakes.
Even the ground beneath Qiji's feet bore faint silver frost marks.
Those frost marks evaporated completely within seconds, only to be quietly replaced by new ones.
Appearing and disappearing, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.
For a moment, every move Qiji was accompanied by special effects.
Gorgeous and dazzling, like a dream!
Witnessing this series of "changes" in Qiji, the comments section was astonished:
"Holy crap, this is so trendy?!"
"Who are you, handsome guy???"
"From covering the face to covering the eyes, this is totally copying my XP, isn't it?!"
"So, after all this time, it Prisoner Ji out you're still a white-haired guy?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Normally, Qiji would definitely indulge in a bit of self-admiration while looking at the comments in the live stream.
But right now, business is more important!
The activation of [One Night's Moonfall] placed an enormous burden on Qiji's Heart Essence, and even though he had already borrowed Heart Essence, he dared not be negligent.
The main reason is that his familiarity with the circuit of [One Night's Moonfall] is far less than that of Yuejian, so his efficiency in using Heart Essence is also completely incomparable to that of Yuejian.
A swift and decisive victory is the best approach!
Qiji no longer hesitated!
—I no longer read the surface of this world.
—I am no longer bothered by the troubles at hand.
—I will Annotation and write the Final Chapter of the story from a perspective that transcends everything.
This moment belongs to Qiji's [One Night's Moonfall] —
It's started!
World switch!
Centered on the Qiji landscape, daylight vanishes and night descends!
