Chapter 735 Mission Complete!
The next day, Yusen returned to the Beast Star Embassy.
As agreed, the spider was to come on Tuesday. Yu Zhizhi sat at the dining table eating toast, thinking to herself that she would begin searching for the source of the turbid energy today.
The task has a one-week time limit.
This time, we absolutely will not fail!
Louis arrived, but he didn't come in from the entrance hall.
As Yu Zhizhi left, she casually picked up a slice of toast and held it to his lips.
"Want to come shopping with me?"
She didn't mention the mission.
Louis was summoned by her, and she had a premonition that he would leave soon.
If Louis and I really help her find the source of the turbid energy, then we can save one summoning attempt.
The spider saw the little female rabbit approaching her, a sweet smile on her face.
He opened his mouth and bit into the toast.
"It's a bit cold today, and it might rain."
Yu Zhizhi picked up the white umbrella.
Before leaving, she said goodbye to the little octopus.
The red-haired youth, who was tidying up the kitchen, leaned against the sink and asked, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
Yu Zhizhi hesitated for a moment: "They probably won't be coming back for dinner, so there's no need to wait for us."
"Oh." The little octopus watched them leave.
He lowered his head and continued washing the plates in his hands.
Yu Zhizhi walked towards the roadside.
Previously, several people were injured in the embassy dormitory, but the news about the crystal pumpkin was not spread.
Yu Zhizhi felt confused.
Is it a public security issue?
However, the security situation in the central city is much better than in other places.
She gathered the material online, but wasn't sure if it was true.
It is said that someone in the high-end residential area "Shengding Mingyuan" in Fuhui District is growing the same red pumpkin.
Yu Zhizhi took Louis there by taxi.
They quickly arrived at the residential complex. Using their legitimate status as embassy staff, they obtained access.
Even the elevators in Shengding Mingyuan are paved with marble.
Yu Zhizhi unconsciously slowed her pace.
Louis walked up to her.
"Something's not right here." The spider's emerald eyes swept across both sides of the corridor.
He had his hands in his black pockets, and a strand of spider silk silently wrapped around the little rabbit's wrist.
Be prepared to respond to any emergencies.
Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears twitched slightly. She looked around warily and irritably: "I'm looking for... a red crystal pumpkin."
"The one I smashed?" the spider asked calmly.
Yu Zhizhi nodded.
From the moment she stepped into the building, she smelled a strange odor.
It was an indescribable, cloyingly sweet scent that made you dizzy.
"This way." Spider's emerald eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to the right.
It was a dark red door.
Unlike the other residents' doors, this door had no address, no peephole, and a blackened towel was stuffed in the crack, as if to prevent something from leaking out.
A thin layer of dust had settled on the doorknob, but upon closer inspection, fresh fingerprints could be seen on the dust.
Someone has touched it recently.
The spider raised its hand, its fingertips gently touching the wooden door. A cool sensation emanated from the door panel.
He frowned, and a few strands of spider silk peeked through the crack in the door, then gently pried it open.
The door opened.
The sight inside made Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears instantly tense up.
The living room had been emptied out, leaving only a round table in the center. A dark red velvet cloth covered the table, and on the cloth sat a pumpkin.
—Red Crystal Pumpkin!
This is the kind of pumpkin that Yu Zhizhi grows on her terrace! But this pumpkin is different from the ones she's seen before.
She got closer and could see something moving inside the crystal.
It was a black, fluffy, smoke-like substance that would gather and disperse, as if it were alive.
The cloying sweetness in the air reached its peak here, so strong it was almost nauseating.
“Found it,” Yu Zhizhi murmured.
She was looking at the pumpkin.
And the pumpkin seemed to be watching her too.
The spider asked slowly, "What do you need me to do?"
The little rabbit came specifically to find this thing, but the spider didn't ask why.
He could vaguely guess that this might be related to the organization behind her.
Yu Zhizhi thought for a moment.
"Help me... to control it."
If Yu Zhizhi wants to purify it, the prerequisite is that it must lose the power to resist.
Just like in the previous mission, Tang Luoke helped her stabilize the situation so that she could use the purification spell safely.
The spider understood.
Several strands of spider silk suddenly shot out, as thin as hair, yet carrying a chilling light!
Yu Zhizhi finally saw the spider silk, and she was stunned for a moment.
This is the first time I've seen Louis use spider silk...
She couldn't help but glance at the young man beside her. Hmm, short black hair, emerald eyes—it was indeed Louis.
The spider silk exploded silently in the air, weaving into a large, intricate web that tightened from all directions.
A wisp of white spiritual energy spiraled upwards along the edge of the round table, wandering like a living thing, searching for every crevice where the turbid energy was leaking out.
The shimmering luster on the surface of the dark red crystal pumpkin suddenly froze—
Spider silk had already adhered to it, tightly wrapping around the pumpkin's texture, sealing the flickering, murky air inside.
"It's sealed off."
The spider's voice was as calm as a weather report; with a slight twitch of its fingertips, the spider silk tightened a little more.
A sharp buzzing sound suddenly came from inside the pumpkin!
The black, flocculent mass suddenly expanded and crashed into the inner wall of the crystal, making a cracking sound!
A hoarse voice, as if squeezed from the deepest part of a throat, rang out: "You think... you can..."
Before Yu Zhizhi could finish speaking, a soft white light shone in her palm.
Purification technique.
Light surged from her palm, washing over the surface of the crystal pumpkin like a tide.
The turbid air hissed when it encountered the white light, like water droplets splashing into boiling oil. The pumpkin trembled violently, and the spider silk stretched taut and creaked!
The spider's eyes were indifferent; this little bit of resistance meant nothing to him.
The disparity in strength was too great, and the pumpkin let out a desperate wail.
"You...you...you wretched aliens! Soul Eater will not let you get away with this!"
The voice just fell.
The white light had penetrated into the crystal, like countless tiny needles piercing the black, fibrous material...
The pumpkin let out a shrill scream, and the dark red color on its surface receded rapidly like the tide, revealing the grayish-white, lifeless crystal body underneath.
Yu Zhizhi was so shocked by its scream that her face turned pale.
Spiders react quickly.
She immediately raised her hands to cover her rabbit ears.
Don't listen.
Yu Zhizhi's heart was pounding, and she was almost entirely leaning against the spider.
It took a long time before he finally caught his breath.
"...It seems like it's okay now."
After this purification, she felt that most of her spiritual energy had been lost, and she was very thirsty, with even her lips feeling dry.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the purification of turbid air mission! Reward: 100 points! +1 chance to win a prize!]
The notification sound flashed in my mind.
Yu Zhizhi did not hesitate.
[I want to enter the prize draw!]
She silently recited it in her heart.
The system's lottery page quickly popped up in front of her.
See you tomorrow~
