The malignant maid's eyes flickered, and the muscles in her head suddenly squirmed like small worms, and then there was a "crackling" sound from her body, like the sound of popcorn exploding.

At the same time, the Shadow Maiden's facial features seemed to be displaced, and her face changed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than half a pillar of incense, not only did her appearance completely change, but she became a cold and glamorous woman, her height was more than three inches taller, and she was almost the same as Xu Rui.

This is a big change, and whoever sees it will probably be stunned, thinking that they have seen a ghost in the daytime, but it is a pity that Princess Qixia and the shadow maid are in a coma, and the only audience, Xu Rui's face is far less surprised than she expected.

"Huh?"

At this time, the fake shadow maid looked about twenty years old, tall, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and when she saw Xu Rui's appearance, she couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise on her face.

"You're the first person to see my disguise and haven't dropped your jaw yet, it seems that I guessed correctly, you are indeed the caretaker too!"

The Shadow Maiden smiled confidently.

Xu Rui looked at the fake maid coldly and said: "The PDK469 war biochemical machine can transform the drug recipient into a genetic warrior with the ability to transform, codenamed Lurker, it seems that you are also a traverser, and your identity is very unusual."

It's just that I don't understand one thing, generally speaking, because the development of PDK469 type war biochemical potion is not complete, the side effects are extremely large, and the recipient can only transform three times in his life, and he can never change back to his original state after more than three times.

Listening to what you just said, you should have changed more than once, and now you have easily used up another chance to transform, have you evolved on your own and broken through the limitations of PDK469, or has someone researched a new generation of genetic drugs? ”

"What are you talking about?"

To Xu Rui's surprise, when the fake shadow maid heard this, she frowned slightly, looking ignorant, as if she didn't know what Xu Rui was talking about.

Xu Rui saw that her demeanor was calm, and there was no natural change in her facial micro-expressions to lie, and her originally firm conclusion couldn't help but waver.

"You really don't know what I'm talking about?"

Xu Rui asked.

The Shadow Maiden shook her head and smiled: "I dare to present my biggest secret in front of you, is there any need to lie to you?" ”

This time it was Xu Rui's turn to frown: "Who are you?" ”

The Shadow Maiden smiled: "Introduce yourself again, I am one of the caretakers of this world, responsible for guarding the final order of the world, you can call me Yin Ji." ”

"Yin Ji ......"

Xu Rui silently read the name, and asked, "What exactly is a caretaker?" ”

Yin Ji said: "This world is originally a place of exile, and the so-called caretaker, as the name suggests, is naturally to guard this world. ”

"Exiled Lands ......"

Xu Rui was stunned: "You mean this world is a big prison?" ”

Yin Ji said indifferently: "Prison, cage, animal pen, whatever you want to understand, they all mean the same thing anyway?" ”

Xu Rui was shocked, it seemed that Yin Ji's statement and Anna Helen's record had some hidden inconsistencies, and a vague guess seemed to be about to break the ground, but it couldn't straighten out the internal logical connection for a while.

"Why do you think I'm a caretaker too?"

Xu Rui asked.

Yin Ji said, "Because your recorder was triggered." ”

"Recorder?"

Xu Rui was confused, and he couldn't understand Yin Ji's words at all.

Yin Ji groaned slightly, and suddenly took out a small box from her pocket.

When Xu Rui saw the appearance of the small box, his eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously took out an almost identical small box from his personal pocket, which was the small box that was regarded as an heirloom by Yang Weiyuan and left to him when he was dying.

As soon as the two small boxes appeared, they immediately seemed to sense each other's presence, and a faint light curtain shot out from the inside, flashing and flashing, as if they were breathing, or communicating with each other.

The only difference is that the small box in Xu Rui's hand has a slightly different pattern from the small box in Yin Ji's hand, and Xu Rui's small box flashes with a slight blue light, while Yin Ji's small box flashes with green light.

"It's ......"

It was the first time Xu Rui saw another locket, and he couldn't help but be slightly moved.

Yin Ji said: "You also have the keeper's token, you can't be wrong, we are companions." ”

Xu Rui laughed and said, "The person who holds this thing is the caretaker?" Aren't you afraid that I stole this thing? ”

Yin Ji shook her head and said, "Do you think anyone can hold the key?" In other words, if you are an ordinary person, you can't open the key, even if it is accidentally triggered, I'm afraid you don't know how to die.

In addition, your key has emitted a blue glow, which means that your identity has been recognized by it, and when you fully awaken, your key will also emit a green glow like mine. ”

"Oh? I see......"

Xu Rui looked at the locket in his hand, recalling the first time he saw it in Yang Weiyuan's carriage, and when he arrived in Xichuan, he was accidentally contaminated by the genetic medicine in it.

Although he had long felt that the origin of this small box was unusual, he never thought that it would have such a big origin, and it was even related to the meaning of the existence of this world.

But if you think about it, the locket really couldn't be opened, and it didn't emit blue light until I accidentally touched it......

"What exactly is the mission of the Caretaker?"

Xu Rui asked.

Yin Ji said: "The specific content will naturally understand after you fully awaken that the mission of each caretaker is different, even if I want to tell you in advance, I can't talk about it." But there's one thing I can tell you in advance......"

Yin Ji's tone paused, and her eyes fell on the body of the shadow maid and Princess Qixia, and said faintly: "The caretaker has an iron law, that is, to cut off all worldly ties and return to his own duty. ”

Xu Rui's face changed: "So you want me to watch my beloved die with my own eyes?" ”

Yin Ji nodded.

"Originally, you should have killed her with your own hands, and it is already considered mercy for me to do it for me!"

Xu Rui subconsciously took half a step back, looked at Yin Ji as if he was facing a great enemy, and sneered: "Do you think I will give up on her and become some kind of bullshit caretaker?" ”

Yin Ji was indifferent to Xu Rui's defensive actions, and there was even a hint of pity in her eyes, and she sighed: "This is your fate and mine, we can't choose, when you are completely awakened, you will naturally understand that I am not harming you, but helping you." ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "I can reply to you now, no matter what trick you said about complete awakening, I will never let you get your wish." ”

Yin Ji smiled: "Ignorance will always make people fearless, as the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but when you really understand everything, you will change your mind, there are always many things in this world that are much more important than the personal feelings of children."

What's more, to change a person's mind, in addition to making him understand and agree, there are many means, such as using force or using wisdom. ”

"I don't know how it will be tomorrow, but if you want to use a strong one, you can try."

Xu Rui said coldly.

Yin Ji smiled: "Actually, your bloodline has begun to affect your decision, otherwise you would have already discovered that I had a problem, and even suspected that I was the murderer of Princess Qixia, but why didn't you do it to me for a long time?" ”

Xu Rui sneered: "You think too much, the reason is very simple, although you hurt Qingwu, you also saved her, I am very curious about your purpose, and I want to wait for you to show more flaws before you do it;

Second, you are indeed very strong, at least stronger than me now, I am not confident that I can kill with one blow, and if you don't die by fighting snakes, you are likely to suffer from it.

Three, how do you know I didn't do anything to you? ”

"Oh? So you've thought about doing it to me? Or have you already done it? ”

Yin Ji asked playfully.

Xu Rui sneered and asked, "What do you think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yin Ji frowned, and then her face changed slightly: "There was no person who stole rabbit meat last night?!" ”

Xu Rui suddenly laughed: "You are very smart, but it's a pity that it's too late!" ”
