“... So, even you don't know this..."Yu Ping looked at the expressionless tall and thin old man in front of him suspiciously, "... Uh...what the hell is a 'stone'?"

After stepping into the Hall of Stars on the top floor of the Clock Tower once more, Yu Ping quickly explained his intention to White Kane, who seemed to have been waiting for a while, and at the same time, Sharyl also took out the mysterious bluestone from his space bag and handed it to the tall and thin old man with a solemn face.

Then, under the gaze of Yu Ping, White Kane, who had done a series of tests on the bluestone in his hand, said very calmly: "I'm sorry... I've never seen anything like it, and I've never even heard of it..."

So Yu Ping immediately asked the above question... He had some suspicions that the tall and thin old man was hiding something.

"Yes... But based on your previous description, I can already get a rough idea of the nature of this thing..."The tall and thin old man sighed lightly under Yu Ping's suspicious gaze, "It must have something to do with the 'secret' hidden in you... And there is no danger hidden in this 'stone', so it is better to carry it with you 'yourself'..."

"You already know what this thing is, do you?!Master Kane," Sharyl directly interrupted the tall and thin old man impatiently when he heard this, "If you really can't tell us now, then please be more direct!"

When everyone else heard this, they all looked at Sharyl, who suddenly became very irritable, with a strange gaze.

“... Well," the tall and thin old man was silent for a long time, and finally spat out a dry sentence, "yes, I do know what it is... But I don't think it's better for you to know what it is... In short, Yu Ping, you have to carry this thing with you, it is only good for you, there is no harm... I can guarantee this with my life!"

“... This 'stone' is not only related to the 'secret' in my body, but also to Ina, right?" Yu Ping heard the tall and thin old man's answer, and asked again in a strange tone that he didn't know how to describe it.

"Don't ask any more!" The tall and thin old man suddenly became irritable, but soon, he calmed down again, and said lightly, "I have told you everything I can say... As for the answers you want, you'll know when the time comes... However, I need you to believe that there is one thing, and that is..."

Saying this, the white-haired old man's expression became serious.

“... Whether it's the 'old man who sets up the stall' in your mouth, or me, I won't harm you. ”

"Okay... Then we'll retire first..."Yu Ping grabbed Sharyl, who seemed to want to continue to ask, and bowed to the tall and thin old man.

After Yu Ping and the others left the Hall of the Stars, White Kane was still standing in the distance, staring at a black hole surrounded by shining stars in the ceiling like a real 'starry sky', not knowing what he was thinking...

"'They'... Are you really coming?" he said suddenly, muttering to himself, "How much time do we have left to prepare?"

"According to His Majesty the Pope, we actually have quite a lot of time..."A fat old man appeared out of thin air in the empty star hall, and his words were full of mockery, "There is enough time for you to continue to live in this broken tower for more than ten years..."

“... I see what you mean, my dear 'brother,'" the tall and thin old man was silent for a moment, and made a decision that was difficult for him.

"Indeed... It's time to take another stroll outside the Holy City... Then, complete that 'weapon'. ”

"So, I'm sorry for you," the fat old man nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, "Anyway, how long have you not been out of this dead house? In that case, things will get very troublesome..."

"Hack me again, believe it or not, I'll let you go out on your stomach?!" the corner of the tall and thin old man's mouth twitched and threatened.

"Hahaha? I have a problem with my ears?" the fat old man laughed as if he had heard something very funny, "From childhood to adulthood, when were you not beaten down by me?"

“... Hehehe, my stupid brother~ Have you forgotten what kind of place this is?!" Facing the ridicule of the fat old man, the tall and thin old man also proudly retorted: "This is the clock tower!

"Hmm... I know~" The fat old man interrupted the tall and thin old man with a smile, "It belongs to the realm of the dead house~ I really can't beat you here... After all, the combat power of otaku in their own homes will soar, but..."

"But what... Fertile grass!"

"But I can hit you first, and then I'll run away directly, hahaha!

Yes, while the tall and thin old man asked questions with a puzzled face... The obese old man directly used some kind of magic trick, breaking through the layers of passive protection of the clock tower at that moment, and then teleported to the side of the tall and thin old man, and gave him a punch... Then he immediately slipped away, leaving only a malicious taunt.

"The next time you dare to step into the clock tower, I'll beat you up for whatever reason!

The empty hall of the stars echoed with the angry roar of an old man.

At the same time, Yu Ping, who had already left the clock tower.

"Give me that... Now I'm also curious, what kind of effect it will have on me..."Yu Ping stretched out his hand to Sharyl beside him with a serious face.

"Are you sure?" Sharyl asked solemnly, staring into Yu Ping's eyes, "I always think this thing is too weird..."

"I believe Master Kane's words," Yu Ping said calmly, "he has no need to harm me... And if he wanted to hurt me, I would have been dead long ago. ”

"Okay..."Sharyl also nodded, and handed the mysterious bluestone in her hand to Yu Ping, who had a look of anticipation...

Under the solemn gaze of everyone, Yu Ping took over this mysterious bluestone that should have a lot to do with him, and then...

Nothing happened.

Yu Ping changed his hand and pinched the stone hard.

Still nothing happened.

“... Is it for me to eat?" Yu Ping, who thought of this, slowly sent the stone to his mouth under the strange gaze of others...

However, after thinking about it, he still couldn't get his mouth shut... So he stuck out his tongue and licked it.

"Hmm... It's a little salty, like the smell of sweat..."

Sharyl stroked her forehead helplessly.

The white-haired saint's face turned red... It's suffocating, and she now has the urge to pound the ground and laugh.

And the other one didn't hold back... Or maybe he didn't want to hold back at all.

"Hahaha... Are you an idiot?" the silver-haired little Shota sneered at Yu Ping, who was embarrassed, holding his stomach, "Since Master Kane has already said that you should take it, then its effect on you must be continuous! Drop a drop of blood to recognize the Lord, and then there will be some earth-shattering changes in an instant?"

“... Thanks for the reminder," Yu Ping said seriously to the silver-haired little Zhengtai, who was still laughing at him, "Maybe it's really like this?"

This time, even the silver-haired little Shota stopped his smile and showed a speechless expression...

"Then you can try it~" Looking at Yu Ping, who was still entangled, the silver-haired Xiao Zhengtai took out a dagger from his space bag and handed it to Yu Ping.

"Okay... Anyway, you're a legal practitioner who carries a dagger with you?" Yu Ping took the dagger and made a cut on his palm, and complained at the same time.

"Don't worry about these details, give them back to me when you're done! You can't afford to sell yourself!"

Fresh blood slipped from the palm of his hand and dripped down the cyan stone... Still nothing happened.

“... Looks like I've made a mistake," Yu Ping shook his head at this, and then put the cyan stone into his personal pocket, "This thing can't be broken, right?"

However... He had overlooked something.

The mysterious cyan stone, the moment it came into contact with his blood, emitted a faint pale cyan brilliance that was completely obscured by the strong midday sun.

And Yu Ping's doubts didn't last long... Because there was another thing that happened at this moment that completely stunned him.

"Well~ it's almost noon... Didn't you come out today to relax together?" Yu Ping said in the direction of the silver-haired little Zhengtai behind him, "By the way, didn't you say that you had already booked a seat in a super luxurious tavern? Fertile grass?!"

“... What's wrong with you, all the fuss?" The others asked Yu Ping, who was looking at them with puzzled eyes, but with a ghostly expression.

“... Who's going to hit me, I suspect I'm hallucinating. ”

"Okay!" Without hesitation, the silver-haired little Shota took out a magic staff, and then waved his arm to paste Yu Ping's face with the crystal on the tip of the staff.

"It hurts... Looks like I'm not dreaming..."Yu Ping rubbed his face that had been hit hard, and then pointed at the back of Sharyl and the others in a strange tone, "... You'd better see for yourselves. ”

The others also turned their heads to look in the direction that Yu Ping was pointing.

“... Isn't it normal? Why do you all look like you've seen an undead?"

"Don't you think there's something missing?" Yu Ping reminded.

"What's missing... Fertile grass?!"

Yes, the reason why Yu Ping was frightened was not because he saw something strange, but because he didn't see a strange building.

The clock tower, which used to stand tall, has completely disappeared at some point!
