Chapter 460:1 Think The Problem Is with the Lord of Mist (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at Mu Qing, who was standing in front of him with a black iron mask in her hand, Feng Qi felt awkward.

He did not expect Mu Qing to still recognize him

Indeed, unlike in television dramas, wearing a mask could not disguise one’s identity.

At this thought, he immediately cast his gaze at the owner of the fog in the near distance.

Fortunately, it had already charged into the outer circle of the core area of the battle. Its attention was completely focused on the miracle blood stone and he did not notice the situation here at all.

Otherwise, he would really have no way to explain this.

“Ah Qi, why are you here?”

Looking at the awkward Feng Qi, Mu Qing’s face was filled with confusion.

Actually, she had already noticed Feng Qi in the square in front of the recruitment hall.

While the scarlet rune crystal gave her terrifying physical fitness, it also gave her many strange abilities.

One of them was aura recognition.

This ability was very special. She could acutely see the emotions and aura of others.

For example, someone wanted to kill her.

She would instantly sense the killing intent.

This ability was called aura perception.

Joy, anger, killing intent, sorrow, despair… Every emotion could produce a unique aura change. She could rely on these auras to roughly determine what others were thinking.

This ability allowed her to accurately predict the enemy’s next move when facing them.

Especially when the enemy was feinting, it would be very easy for her to catch the flaw.

A portion of her combat awareness also came from this ability.

When she met the owner of the fog in the recruitment hall, she felt a familiar aura.

This familiar aura was not produced from her heart.

It was what she sensed from the owner of the fog, and there was a hint of suppressed fear mixed in it.

That was why she approached “Wang Yi” and asked if they had ever participated in a joint operation mission together.

When she met Feng Qi in the square in front of the recruitment hall, she also sensed a “familiar” emotional aura from him.

Feng Qi looked at her as if he was looking at a familiar person.

Moreover, his aura revealed a trace of retreat.

This piqued her curiosity.

She had never interacted with the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team before, so why did the commander, Wang Yi, and the deputy commander seem to know her?

With doubts, she observed Wang Yi and Feng Qi from time to time along the way.

However, just now, when the owner of the fog rushed to the core of the battle, Feng Qi emitted a very familiar aura.

That was an aura of determination.

At that time, Feng Qi thought that even if he had to risk his life, he had to protect its life.

A similar situation had happened at the lakeside of Star City Academy back then.

That summer night, when she asked Feng Qi what his future path was, Feng Qi answered this question with a hint of determination that she had not forgotten until now.

It was a determination to risk his life to give it a try even if there were difficulties and dangers ahead.

Ever since then, she had never doubted Feng Qi’s determination to lead humanity to rise.

Even if the current Feng Qi was no longer carried dazzling, nor was he the peerless genius that was praised by the world back then,

she still believed that Feng Qi had not given up on his ideals and was still on the path to them.

The aura of Feng Qi with his mask on earlier put a familiar figure in her mind.

She had not been able to contact this figure for a long time. He would often only appear in her memories and diary.

At this moment, she sensed a familiar aura again. She could not help but decide to find out for herself!

Hence, she came in front of Feng Qi and reached out to take off the mask on his face.

Just as she thought, it was indeed him under the black iron mask.

Star City Academy’s graduation party that year was their last gathering.

Looking at Feng Qi’s familiar face, Mu Qing could not help but be stunned.

The past surged and echoed in her mind.

In the end, Feng Qi, who had a confident smile on his face, overlapped with the Feng Qi in front of her.

She suddenly realized that it had been eight years.

Looking at the shocked Feng Qi in front of her, she was about to continue asking when her gaze turned to the battlefield.

At this moment, in the chaotic battlefield, the mask on the owner of the fog’s face was shattered, revealing its purple eyes.

It also transformed part of its body into fog and dashed towards the core of the battle.

Mu Qing recognized its identity.

The aura on the owner of the fog had changed a little compared to before, but she still remembered.

That year, after graduating from Star City Academy, she devoted herself to the frontline.

The first intelligent domain creature she fought was the purple-eyed, purple-haired youth in the Silent Domain Field.

The ability to transform into gray fog especially, was still deeply etched in her mind.

Combined with these characteristics, she recognized the owner of the fog.

However, many doubts immediately arose in her heart.

Why was Feng Qi with the owner of the fog?

Wasn’t he conducting cultivation technique research in the Scarlet Research Institute? What was he doing here?

She had sensed something unusual from the moment the convoy was attacked for the first time by a domain faction on the bridge.

There were three roads from the Former Days Eastern Supply Area to the Former Days City. Other than the main path, detours had to be taken for the two others.

The domain faction chose to set up an ambush on the main supply bridge. She could think that this domain faction might have set up an ambush on all three roads.

However, only the commanders of the combat team who was participating in this escort mission knew the route.

Yet the time and place were all known by the domain factions, so it was a little unusual.

She had reason to suspect that a mole had appeared in this joint mission.

Therefore, after the battle on the supply bridge ended, she began to observe the abnormality in the joint operation team and tried to analyze who was the mole.

However, when the convoy arrived at the canyon, she realized that her guess was wrong.

It was not that there was a spy, but that almost all the people who participated in this operation were spies.

The only ones she couldn’t see through were Commander Wang Yi and Qin Shikong of the Sky Pillar Domain Combat Team.

When the battle for the blood stone broke out, both combat teams chose to retreat far away and did not participate in the battle.

She could not tell the positions of these two forces.

As for the combat teams that participated in the battle for the blood stone, she initially thought that there were ally factions among them.

But soon, she didn’t think so.

Their desperate struggle for the blood stone was filled with greed and hysteria.

It was obvious that they wanted the blood stone. None of them acted like an escort at all.

More importantly, a few of the combat teams actually chose to cooperate with domain forces to fight for the blood stone. Some warriors even revealed obvious biological characteristics of domain creatures.

She, who had wanted to participate in the battle, decisively held back.

She realized that these combat teams were actually controlled by domain forces. There were even domain creatures within them.

However, guesses were guesses. She ultimately needed concrete evidence. Otherwise, she would not attack her own kind.

Therefore, she chose to watch the battle. During this period, she began to distinguish between friend and foe.

She memorized the names of these combat teams.

During the hours of fighting, she had already identified domain creatures in six of the teams, and the rest had yet to be analyzed.

After all, the life characteristics of some domain creatures were very similar to humans.

Unless one examined it carefully, it was difficult to judge.

Some of them even had the ability to disguise themselves. They hid some of their vital characteristics and completely transformed into humans.

Just as the various domain forces were fighting for the blood stone, Mu Qing thought of a way to capture them all in one fell swoop.

She memorized the names of these combat teams.

He was prepared to get the Scarlet Research Institute to help determine if they were friend or foe.

The research institute that did the most research on domain creatures was the Scarlet Research Institute.

Ever since it was established, the Scarlet Research Institute had always been at the forefront of research in domain creatures. Other scientific research institutions could not compare to it at all.

If it was the Scarlet Research Institute, they would definitely have a way to determine the simulated domain creatures.

At the thought of this, she even thought of a follow-up plan.

She felt that

when the time comes, she could invite all the domain combat teams she had memorized in the name of the Scarlet Research Institute. She could even invite as many other combat teams as possible to hold a meeting.

Then, he would get the Scarlet Research Institute to distinguish them.

After determining the results, she would catch all of them in one fell swoop and destroy all the combat teams marked as domain forces in the meeting.

Now that she had come back to her senses, she looked at Feng Qi.

Now, one thing was certain. There was something wrong with Wang Yi, and she was a domain creature.

As the deputy commander of the Death Star Number Three Domain Combat Team, Feng Qi held a high position. Clearly, he had obtained the trust of “Wang Yi”.

However, she still did not doubt that Feng Qi would betray humanity.

She always believed that Feng Qi upheld justice in his heart and would not abandon his ideals.

Therefore… he must have been bewitched by a domain creature!

It should be a special ability that could control people’s hearts that made Feng Qi take this step.

Everything was not what he wanted.

At this thought, killing intent surged in Mu Qing’s heart.

Without waiting for Feng Qi’s reply, she turned to look at the owner of the fog in the distance.

Killing intent rose and surged in her heart.

Seeing Mu Qing suddenly turn to look at the owner of the fog and clench her fists, Feng Qi was shocked.

He had reason to suspect that Mu Qing was planning to go to beat it to death.

“Senior Sister, don’t be rash. Let me explain!” he immediately said.

At this moment, Mu Qing turned around.

“Do you think I’ve been bewitched by a domain faction?”

“Isn’t that so? The Feng Qi I know won’t be a lackey for a domain faction no matter what.”

Realizing that Mu Qing had indeed misunderstood, he felt bitter and said,

“Senior Sister, let’s talk somewhere else. Listen to my explanation.”

With that, Feng Qi took the lead and ran into the distance.

Mu Qing frowned slightly when she saw this, but she still followed.

A moment later, they stopped five kilometers away from the canyon.

Feng Qi turned around at this moment and Mu Qing landed on the ground.

At this point, it was better to be honest than to explain. He decided to tell Mu Qing some of the secrets he knew.

However, he did not intend to share everything.

Especially regarding the secrets of the Scarlet Research Institute, he absolutely could not tell Mu Qing.

The Scarlet Research Institute was the core of every sacrifice timeline. Once something went wrong, the entire timeline’s efforts would be in vain.

More importantly, Mu Qing had a spy by her side.

In the first few timelines, he had chosen to give his email to Mu Qing, but all the information in his inbox had been deleted.

If the secret of the Scarlet Research Institute was told to Mu Qing…

There was a chance that the Scarlet Research Institute would be destroyed in advance, and there would be no Scarlet Secret Base 1,500 years later.

Keeping a portion of the secrets was being responsible to the companions who worked together with him on this sacrificial timeline.

At this thought, he looked at Mu Qing and said,

“Senior Sister, actually, I’m not controlled. I deliberately went undercover by its side.”

“Deliberately undercover? What’s your goal?”

“Would you believe me if I said that I’ve been to the future 1,500 years later?”

When Mu Qing, who had a solemn expression, heard this, she was stunned.

“I think you might really have been bewitched by a domain creature.”
