The seventh day when Ritsu lost contact.

Nilo searched all the places in the vicinity, but found no trace of Ritsu.

During this period, he went to his mentors more than once, but all the mentors told him that Ritsu and Qingluan went out to train together to ensure that there was no danger to their lives. Relax him, and they'll be back soon.

I don't know what Qingluan said.

All the mentors trusted her unusually much, as if she said she was okay and she was fine.

Nilo frowned.

He promised Ziqiao to protect the law.

We must not break our word.

It wasn't until the early morning of the eighth day that Nilo finally saw the humanoid mecha that Ritsu had specialized.

"Where have you been?" Nilo asked.

Although his expression was plain and indifferent, there was a bit of concern between his eyebrows.

“... I went to train with Master. The cyan mecha cockpit popped open, and the lizzle unbuckled and jumped off the cabin. The rich smell of blood permeated her body in an instant, as if the substance lingered.

"This is—" Nilo was startled, and subconsciously touched the small mecha on his waist.

"I'm sorry..."

Ritsu looked up, her eyes had turned cyan, but what was even more strange was that she had a silver pupil in her pupils.

Heavy pupils of blue and silver.

"You—" Nilo was keenly aware that something was wrong with her, and her eyes sank.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do for the time being." Ritsu looked at Nilo with a calm expression, "If there's anything else, we'll talk about it another day." ”

“....”

"Ryuxi, welcome back."

Suddenly, the girl's clear voice came from behind her.

Nilo turned around and saw Qingluan, who was walking slowly not far away, with a smile in his eyes, "It's hard work." ”

"Master!" Lu Xi's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked towards Qingluan through Nilo, affectionately and respectfully, "You're here!" Her tone was different from usual, as if she was relying on and respecting her elders.

"You didn't let me down."

Qingluan led Lu Xi to the training room, with a smile on his face, "Lu Xi." ”

"I will never let you down, Master." Rizzi's face was serious, and the blue and silver eyes were strange and infiltrating, "I promise." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two leaving, Nilo's brow furrowed even deeper.

The law seems to have changed.

No, it would be more accurate to say that the attitude towards Qingluan has changed, becoming more clingy and dependent.

What's going on?

What was the matter with her eyes, and the heavy smell of blood on her body.

"What you eat comes from the same origin as the spider silk." Qingluan walked in front of Lu Xi, and said truthfully without concealment, "In other words, half of your body is no longer human. ”

"And, because of the Celestial Spider Silk's own emotions, you will become more dependent on me."

It will make the heart of the law 100% trust her.

"Master, I understand all of this." Lu Xi's expression was as usual, and his eyes were in a trance when he looked at Qingluan, like the heavenly spider silk eyeballs lurking around.

Qingluan was not surprised by her performance at all.

Because now she is an absolutely obedient existence to Lixi.

Even if she let Lu Xi die now, she would not hesitate in the slightest.

It's like a puppet.

But it's different, she will have her own consciousness and her own judgment, but when facing Qingluan, she will lose her ability to judge. There is still a fundamental difference between it and the puppet that you are good at controlling.

"Now that you've got it all figured out, I have a new mission for you." Qingluan spread out her palms, revealing more distorted silver.

"Go find more people for me."

"The more the merrier."
