"You wouldn't think of it, and for granted, if someone of my rank were killed by me and met her again soon after, I would also think that she had come back from the dead, and I would never think that she was someone's doppelganger."

Looking at Su Bai's surprised expression, Miss Xi said lightly, and even Fitt Alicia nodded in agreement.

For people like them who can freely travel between the two worlds of life and death, the barrier between life and death is actually not big, and they can accept almost anyone's death and resurrection, because death is not an eternal farewell for them, life and death are just in two different environments, like the front door and the back door, but they are all on the same parallel line. And standing in the middle, there is not much difference between the other party coming from the front door to the back door, or coming from the back door.

No, for a doppelganger of your strength, the assumption itself is terrifying...... Su Bai secretly spit out a groove, but in his heart, he had already accepted the speculation that the ghost-faced girl was just a clone.

In this way, it can also explain his doubts all along.

"But then again, what the hell did she want to do with such a clone?" Su Bai asked puzzled.

Fitt Alicia said: "There must be a necessary reason, but this kind of thing is no longer something we can guess, after all, there is too little information known, do you have any clues?" ”

"Clues......" Su Bai thought for a while, and instinctively thought of the last words of the black shadow in the fantasy world, and his intuition told him that the meaning of these words was very important to him, and he didn't know whether he should say it or not, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally told the two of them the information about the ruins.

"Looks like she's trying to guide you." Hearing this, Fitt Alicia said in a deep voice.

"Well, but the word ruins alone is really not a decisive clue, at least as far as I know, there are no less than double digits of ancient ruins in this world. But none of them are beyond my reach, and it seems that this aspect needs to be examined more closely. Miss Xi said.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." As she spoke, Fett Alicia stood up.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes, originally my purpose in this world was just to arm the magician, and participating in this incident can only be regarded as a timely meeting, if I don't have anything important, I can help you, but now I can't spare time, the appearance of Shui Du gives me a premonition that this world is about to surge, and I must find out their movements in the fastest time."

Hearing her say this, Miss Xi nodded. "Also, this guy Shui Du can't be ignored by anyone, so has your first stop been decided?"

"Well, I'm going to go to Rich Man's Island first, this place has been taken over by the lackeys of the underworld, although almost all the important information has been completely transferred, but there may still be some subtle clues."

"Rich Island has been taken over by you so soon?" Su Bai said with some surprise, "I remember naively saying that in human society. There are quite a few high-level government officials who have been bribed by the other party, so after such a big move on Rich Island, ordinary people still don't know anything, and they let Rich Island out so easily? ”

Rich Island is not a big place. It is not small, but its value is definitely enough to make any country covet.

Speaking of this, Fett Alicia couldn't help but sigh, "This is indeed our mistake. I didn't expect the other party to have infiltrated so deeply in human society, and after our investigation afterwards, when the war broke out on Rich Island. All the surveillance satellites in the sky have turned to other places, and they have not captured the slightest incident, and even the coastal side has done enough to block the news...... Those who can do such things must have considerable power in human society, and they act extremely quickly, and our people have not found the slightest suspicious thing. ”

"However, they have abandoned Rich Island, and it is naturally impossible for them to do anything with the chess pieces they have laid in human society, otherwise once they are exposed, we will be able to wipe out these people. In short, you don't need to worry about this matter, the Rich Island incident is currently in my hands, and you just need to go and find the so-called ruins...... By the way, I'll be staying on Rich Island for a while now, and we'll keep in touch if there's anything important. ”

After a little discussion, that night, Fitt Alicia left.

Not long after, Su Bai also returned to his villa, Styx and Xueti had already fallen asleep at this time, of course he didn't have the idea of pulling the two up to chat, and went to his room to rest.

This trip to Rich Man Island is definitely a difficult journey for Su Bai, not only physically, but also mentally, it can be said that since arriving on Rich Man Island until now, he has not really rested, even during the period of falling asleep, his spirit is struggling violently.

It was only now, when it was confirmed that Anna was not really dead, but would just exist in another life form, and Satsuki had also survived the crisis, that the stone hanging in his heart was finally released.

Although the matter has not really come to an end, whether it is the forces behind Rich Island, or the ghost-faced girl whose identity is unknown, all this has not even really begun, and there may be more difficult situations waiting for him in the future, but for now, it is indeed possible to take a little rest.

It's just that Su Bai never thought that his rest time would be so short, and only seven days later, he learned a crucial news from Miss Xi.

"What do you mean, the ruins have been found?" After hearing this, Su Bai stood up from his seat and stared at the calm woman opposite, his face was surprised and happy.

Naturally, Miss Xi's ability to gather intelligence, a relic with no clues at all, it only took her seven days to find out where it was, how could she not be surprised, of course, she finally had the opportunity to reveal the secret.

However, Miss Xi didn't feel that she had done anything great, but sighed with some regret, "To be precise, it's not the ruins I found, but it came out of itself." ”

"Eh, what's going on?" Listening to the way she spoke, Su Bai couldn't help asking.

Later, Miss Xi explained: "Just five days ago. In a certain quicksand area in the Sahara Desert, a large-scale sandstorm suddenly appeared, and then a huge ancient ruins like a city surged up from a depth of 10,000 meters underground, not only changing the surrounding terrain, but even forming a huge sand river vortex within a radius of dozens of kilometers, completely turning that place into a forbidden area for life. And from the ancient ruins, there is a faint release of heart-palpitating power...... The timing of this happened was so coincidental that I suspect it was probably the relic that the guy was talking about. ”

"There is still such a thing...... Su Bai was taken aback, it turned out that this ruin was buried at a depth of 10,000 meters underground, no wonder it had never been known before.

But now it has appeared out of nowhere. Is it really because of yourself?

Although this idea is somewhat self-righteous, combined with the series of events that happened before, coupled with the information revealed by the ghost-faced girl, it is no wonder that he thinks so.

"Well, what do you think?" Seeing that he was silent, Miss Xi asked.

"If you have any ideas, of course, let's go and find out." Su Bai said as a matter of course, although the peaceful days had just passed, but since the target had appeared. There's no way he's going to leave it alone, and he's going to see what's going on anyway.

"I'm going too!" Su Bai's voice fell, and the voice of the dark night sounded next to him.

Although for Miss Xi, the dark night is still not waiting to see her as always. Usually, she would hardly set foot in Miss Xi's villa when she was fine, but today's situation was obviously different, so she came with Su Bai.

At this time, she suddenly spoke, which made Su Bai stunned. frowned and said, "Styx, you better not go." ”

"Why?"

"Why...... Of course, it's because it has nothing to do with you. And why that ruin appeared, and what it contained, I don't know, maybe there is any danger, you are the princess of the underworld......"

"In that case, then I need to go with you all the more."

"Ugh!"

Su Bai was suddenly embarrassed, after experiencing the incident on Rich Island, he had some psychological shadows, for fear that something like Anna would happen again, so if it was not necessary, he really didn't want to drag the people around him into the water.

It's just that before he could think of a reason to refute, the next sentence of the dark night had left him speechless.

"Have you forgotten, we have a relationship of the same fate, and if you die, I will die, so I will go with you, not only to help you, but also to protect myself."

Hearing this, Su Bai could no longer find a reason to refute.

Yes, in terms of strength, the night is above herself, and she can go where she can go, of course. In terms of relationship, the two are connected by the same fate, and his life is not his own, and the dark night has at least half of the rights and obligations to his life.

"Okay, since you insist on being like this......" In the end, Su Bai could only agree.

"Hee-hee." Styx suddenly laughed, and then, Xueti, who was standing beside her, spoke, "Since the princess is also going, then I naturally need to go with her." ”

As the guardian of the night, of course, she did not leave her master and go back alone.

As for Xueti, Su Bai has no reason and right to refuse.

"Well, it looks like you've already discussed it, but I have a few things to warn you about here." After the three of them finished speaking, Miss Xi's eyes looked at them and said, "First of all, the appearance of this ruin is not a secret, and the eyes of many forces have already fixed their eyes on it, wanting to find out about it, so when you get there, your enemies may not only be the things in the ruins, but also the guys who have similar goals to you." ”

"Multiple forces?" Su Bai was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Do you mean the Shui Du mentioned before?" ”

"With Shui Du's ambition, if he gets this news, he will definitely send someone there, of course, now that Fitt is paying attention to him, he doesn't dare to act too rashly, and he should be very low-key. What I'm really talking about is not him, but some other powerful forces in this world. ”

"In this world, in addition to water independence, there are also forces that can compete with the underworld?" Su Bai couldn't help asking.

"Of course not, but it's a little different." The person who spoke was the Night, and she explained, "I haven't told you before, but the underworld is for the present world. Under normal circumstances, in order to maintain the balance between the two worlds, the underworld will not interfere in the affairs of the present world, such as wars between human beings, or the confrontation between which spirit forces, except for regularly sending some underworld warriors to the present world to patrol, most of the time, the underworld and the current world are unrelated...... Only when something like the last time, or other big event that has the potential to upset the balance, happens. The underworld will come forward to preside over the overall situation, and this time the ruins are revealed, which obviously does not reach this level, so even the underworld is not good to interfere more. ”

"I see." Su Bai roughly understood, "In other words, the problem of this relic can only be solved by ourselves, and we can't expect help from the underworld." ”

"Hmm." Styx nodded, "Of course, if there really is something in that ruin that that wants to destroy the world." And the other party does have such a tendency, then the underworld will not let it go. ”

After understanding this, Su Bai asked Miss Xi, "So, which forces will be interested in the ruins this time?" ”

"That's too much." Miss Xi smiled slightly. "Forces that think they have a little weight in the current world should not miss this grand event, such as the Onmyoji Miss you know, the Onmyoji group behind her will definitely take action, and then other churches. Or the secret forces of state power...... Oh yes, your old rival. It's the King of the Red Night, she should be very interested in this, and if there is no accident, she will probably send a real master this time. ”

"Tsk!" Hearing this, Su Bai immediately smacked his lips, this is indeed not good news.

Although Sakurashita Kura Yui has some friendship with herself, she is her, and Onmyoji is Onmyoji, and the two cannot be equated at all, and it is difficult to say whether there will be a conflict between the two sides at that time. There is also the church, an organization that has always played a thick black role in various novels, games, and anime, and is sometimes described as extremely sinister and ugly, and to be honest, Su Bai has never had a good impression of it. Secondly, even the power of the state may appear, which also makes Su Bai more headache, it is possible that he will meet a real human powerhouse in the near future.

As for the King of the Red Night, there is no need to say much about this, the beams of the two sides have long been very deep.

And most importantly, this is only a small part of the forces, how many demons and monsters will go to that ruin to find out, I'm afraid even Miss Xi can't fully know...... It can be said that this may really be a grand event of demons dancing.

"Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

"One more thing, good news for you is also bad news." Miss Xi exhaled and said, "Originally, the stakes are very high, and I don't worry about letting a few of you little guys go on an adventure, and I am thinking about whether to go with you, but now, it can only be done by the three of you, I will not come forward, and even Fenghua Xuehua will not participate in this incident." ”

"Uh, why is that?"

Although Su Bai didn't think that without the help of Fenghua Xueyue, he wouldn't be able to do anything, and he didn't think that a resourceful character like Miss Xi would be a coolie, but when he heard her mention this, he couldn't help but be a little concerned.

Miss Xi explained: "As early as a day or two after the ruins were revealed, several forces that were relatively close to them had already sent experts to investigate, but in the end, they did not gain the slightest, and even those masters could not even enter the ruins. ”

"Could it be that the ruins are cordoned off?" Su Bai hurriedly asked.

Miss Xi shook her head, "It's not like this, the ruins are indeed open, but there are restrictions on wanting to enter the ruins, and anyone with a certain level of strength will be rejected by the ruins, unable to touch and enter." Then after many temptations, it was finally determined that as long as the strength reached the level of ghost generals or above, he could not enter the ruins...... So neither I nor I are qualified to enter the ruins. ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but change color slightly.

"It's both good news and bad news." Blood Ti muttered, rejecting the strong people above the ghost general level, it means that they can't encounter too outrageous enemies in this operation, but in the same way, they can't get the help of their own masters, "Isn't there a way to crack it?" ”

Miss Xi shrugged her shoulders, "Anyway, I definitely can't break it, that kind of barrier has almost formed a rule, and the level is quite high, it is completely beyond my ability, although I don't know if the legendary-level powerhouse can break it, but even if it can, it should pay a considerable price, and this is one of the reasons why the underworld intends to wait and see." ”

"These are the two situations that I want to remind you to pay attention to, so this time I really can't get involved in it, you just work your own, whether you can find out what is not important, the key is to live is fundamental."

"Hmph, I know even if I don't need you to say it!" The night said in a huff, probably feeling that he was being despised again.

Miss Xi grinned toothily and disappreciated.

Afterwards, the three of them left Miss Xi's villa and began to prepare for the next trip. (To be continued......)
