Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Can you tell me how to save her?"

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji remained silent for two seconds before finally speaking.

She said, "She should only be a wisp of consciousness and soul now. Her abilities, strength, and status have all vanished. Are you sure you still want to follow her?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu replied without hesitation, "Xiao La is my woman. No matter what happened to her, I will never abandon her!"

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu silently added half a sentence in his heart: Of course... he would stay by the side of other women.

Yes, Qiu Tu is indeed both passionate and devoted...

Qiu Tu's words seemed to have truly "moved" Zhao Ji.

She finally revealed her plan to help Lariel.

She said coldly, "Since that's the case, then you can find her first and nurture this wisp of her consciousness and soul."

"Once she's grown stronger, we'll find a way to bring her back to the boundless sea of ​​the heart."

"She'll know what to do then."

Qiu Tu is here today to touch Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo Di.

Therefore, he certainly couldn't leave after only hearing half of what was said.

So even though he knew it was a bit risky to ask, he still probed, "Is it to let Xiaola regain control of the New Territories region to restore our strength?"

As Qiu Tu asked his question, he instantly felt another wave of pressure descend upon him.

He forced himself to remain composed and continued, "I remember Xiao La once told me that she is not the controller of the New Territories region."

"The original ruler of the New Territories was a huge wooden dragon. It dominated this area."

"It was you who dealt with the wooden dragon in one move, and then left this area to her."

"She... has always been very grateful to you."

A cold "heh" came from the darkness.

The voice was somewhat mocking and indifferent, but... the oppressive aura emanating from Qiu Tu was removed.

Zhao Ji simply said coldly, "Yes. As long as you control a region of the Boundless Sea of ​​Mind, you can quickly improve your rank and strength."

“Every area has a central hub, but the hub can take many forms: terrain, rocks, plants, animals, or even people.”

"She's hiding the central hub in the New Territories. She knows best where it is and what it is, so you don't need to worry about it."

Having said that, Zhao Ji's patience with Qiu Tu finally reached its limit. Without even listening to Qiu Tu's further probing and explanations, she simply waved her hand and banished him from her divine realm!

After Qiu Tu was driven away, a woman's figure gradually appeared in the darkness.

She looked to be in her early thirties. Her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Larilu, and she could be described as an absolute beauty.

Her eyes were as deep as a cold pool, shimmering with a chilling light; her skin was fair, every inch of it as if it had been baptized by ice and snow, pure and flawless.

This makes her seem more like an ancient, unyielding iceberg, pure and noble.

She stared silently at the spot where Qiu Tu had just stood, a cold glint in her eyes...

"Brother-in-law...? Hehe..."

"This is really interesting..."

"Then I'll give you a gift. I hope it won't disappoint me..."

After saying that, she waved her hand again, and a white light flew into the darkness.

Having done all this, she no longer stayed in one place, but instead walked step by step towards the darkness of the east.

'Let it be chaotic, let it be chaotic... Only chaos is eternal...'

As she walked away, eight points of light slowly appeared on her forehead. They seemed to symbolize the eight regions of the boundless sea of ​​her mind that she controlled!

But... right next to those eight points of light, a ninth point of light was also faintly appearing...

......

Meanwhile, as Zehime infiltrated the ninth area.

At this moment, Qiu Tu in the hotel room was like a tourist who had fallen into the water. He suddenly straightened up and gasped for breath!

A trace of fear and disorientation still lingered on his face.

Tan Huimin, who was outside, clearly heard Qiu Tu's strange behavior, but because Qiu Tu had made a promise with her that he was not allowed to enter the bedroom no matter what happened, she could only pace back and forth in the living room outside, worrying.

Hearing the worried footsteps outside, Qiu Tu slowly came back to his senses.

He turned his head and glanced at the four corners of the room. Sometime during the night, the four white candles inside had completely burned out, leaving only a pool of wax on the floor.

The 12 incense sticks in the center of the room had been reduced to ashes.

Add to that the messy sheets on the bed, and it was a complete mess.

Qiu Tu, however, did not pay attention to these things. He reviewed his recent encounter with Zhao Ji.

Overall, he basically achieved his goal.

He took such a great risk to contact Zhao Ji for three main purposes.

First, I want to meet the current Zhao Ji in person.

Let's see what kind of person this great evil god, who occupies half of Dongye Prefecture, controls eight major regions, and is regarded as a major threat by the Sanctuary, really is.

Second, determine the relationship between Lariro and Zehime. See if there's anything we can use to our advantage.

Third... to delay the time for Zehime to rescue Lahiro.

Qiu Tu has already achieved the first two.

Based on his interactions with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu felt that the current Zhao Ji had indeed changed considerably from the Zhao Ji in the "memory fragments".

The current Zhao Ji is noticeably more profound and reserved. She seems to prefer "concealing her strength."

This can be seen from the fact that she rarely speaks and rarely expresses her own opinions.

More importantly, Qiu Tu felt that Zhao Ji might not actually believe him.

But she seemed to have something important to do and was in a hurry;

Or perhaps Qiu Tu's words were a mix of truth and falsehood. Although she didn't believe him, she also couldn't figure out the relationship between Qiu Tu and her sister, and she was too lazy to investigate further, which is why she let Qiu Tu go...

This sense of connection permeates all of their conversations.

Zhao Ji knew Qiu Tu was a liar, and Qiu Tu knew Zhao Ji knew he was a liar, but they both tacitly continued their act...

Qiu Tu believes that this is likely related to the relationship between Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo.

Although I already knew from Yoo Woong-won that the two sisters had a conflict, the "crisis sense" gave me a clue.

The conflict between the two may be so deep that it is almost irreparable.

Therefore, even though she sensed that Qiu Tu was acting strangely and guessed that he was up to no good, Zhao Ji still deliberately revealed some information to Qiu Tu.

For example, the most crucial thing is... to control the boundless sea of ​​the mind region, you need to find the central point of that region.

The central control of the New Territories region is in Lariel's hands. Even though she has perished, she still knows her hiding place...

This is probably all the hope that Lariello has placed in her for a comeback!

However, now... Zhao Ji easily revealed it to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu guessed that she was trying to "lure" him into finding the central hub of that area in advance.

But... what Qiu Tu couldn't understand was:

Larilu clearly believed that Zhaoji would save her, and Zhaoji did indeed help Larilu intimidate the other evil gods, giving Larilu hope of regaining control of the New World region...

Why would Zhao Ji still send herself to find the central hub?

Is she... confident she can't find that central nervous system? Just trying to cause some trouble for Larilu.

Or... she wanted to help Lariel for some reason, but... she also wanted to use someone else to get rid of her own sister...

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the "gift" Zhao Ji had given him...

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu placed his right hand in front of him, opened it, and inside lay a simple, ancient coin.

The coin looked somewhat similar to Lariro's, and was clearly also a Noble Phantasm for connecting with the Cataclysm.

Thinking about the person this cataclysmic artifact could contact, Qiu Tu felt that Zhao Ji was deliberately muddying the waters...

------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 310 He's Really Become a Multi-Face Spy (10,000 words, please vote!)

Thinking this, Qiu Tu casually found a newspaper in the room, cut it into a mask, and put it on his face.

Afterward, following the instructions given by Zeki during his "return," he rubbed the coin three times and then flicked it into the air.

The next second, the coin began to spin incessantly in the air, defying the laws of physics, just like a perpetual motion machine.

It spun like that for three seconds, then suddenly exploded into a screen of light.

On the screen appeared a middle-aged man wearing an earth-yellow uniform, holding a black knitted balaclava, and with a large red cross painted on his chest.

And that's paired with the two bars and two flowers on the epaulets of his khaki uniform...

It was... a colonel from the anti-government armed coalition.

As a well-organized anti-government armed group, the ranks of the coalition forces are similar to those of the shelters, with colonels already considered high-ranking officers.

They are usually deputy commanders in urban defense or deputy division commanders, truly powerful figures!

Even though the quality of the Allied Forces' soldiers is slightly lower than that of the Sanctuary, the energy of an Allied Forces colonel is still considerable.

And he... was Zehime's gift.

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, the colonel from the Allied Forces first carefully examined the newspaper mask on Qiu Tu's face for a couple of seconds. Then he respectfully saluted Qiu Tu.

"Messenger! Hello, I am Wu Yun, the captain of the Joint Special Operations Team 3! My main responsibilities include infiltrating the New Territories City and seizing control of the New Territories area of ​​the Boundless Heart Sea!"

"And all the members of the coalition in the New Territories are under my control!"

"Just now, I received a divine decree. All actions this time will be under your command."

"So please give the order. How should we proceed with our next steps?"

Qiu Tu:.......

That's right. The gift Zhao Ji gave to Qiu Tu was a special forces team from the Alliance.

This special operations team is no ordinary squad of soldiers.

According to Qiu Tu's understanding... within the alliance, what can be called a special operations team is generally a small squad of 20 or more people.

Moreover, this small team must consist entirely of Cataclysms, with at least five Tier 5 Cataclysms and one Tier 1 Cataclysm in the team.

In addition, the special forces possess heavy firepower and unlimited control over their area—they can freely mobilize all members of the joint forces in that area.

Therefore, the combat power of this small team is roughly equivalent to half of the New Territories City Investigation Department.

Even though Zhao Ji didn't explain, Qiu Tu could guess that this team had most likely come to New Territories City to find La Ri Luo and control the corresponding area of ​​New Territories City in the Boundless Heart Sea.

In other words... they are actually competitors with Qiu Tu, Qin Shuman, and the shelter!

As a result, Zhao Ji has now handed this squad over to Qiu Tu, and for a moment, Qiu Tu is at a loss as to how to deal with it.

We can't just sell it for merit points, can we?

This is such a waste of such a powerful squad.

The reason Qiu Tu said that Zhao Ji was probably deliberately stirring up trouble was because this team was clearly the elite of the alliance and the key to the alliance's participation in the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Project".

In this situation, Zhao Ji actually handed them over to Qiu Tu, whose identity was unknown.

Who knows how Qiu Tu will deal with this special operations team of the regiment when the time comes?

So... this is clearly a deliberate attempt to muddy the waters and make the New Territories even more chaotic.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall his third purpose in risking everything to contact Zhao Ji...

His third objective was actually quite simple.

They took the initiative to take on the task of "finding" La Riluo.
