Chapter 743: In other words

「Do you remember me? 」

She lifted her head, and when she saw Zhang Jie's face, she froze for a moment.

「Waaaah!!!! 」

Qi Yu imitated the Blue Sapphire, letting out a sharp explosive sound.

It's not that; the smell is fine, the voice is fine, just the appearance is problematic!

There's a big problem!!!!

She even doubted whether she had found the wrong person, checking repeatedly, yet still found no problem.

「How... how did you end up like this? 」

Qi Yu was somewhat anxious, her two small hands frantically feeling around Zhang Jie's face, the more she spoke the more anxious she became, as if Zhang Jie had suffered some tremendous injury to become like this.

In her impression, Zhang Jie was a faceless monster covered in tentacles and whiskers; how could he possibly be a clean-looking human?

「Make up... make up.... 」

Qi Yu muttered to herself, somewhat at a loss; seeing her distressed state, Zhang Jie suddenly became speechless.

No, isn't it good that I've become normal? What do you mean by that disappointed look of yours!

「Is it really Qi Yu? 」

Zhang Jie pinched Qi Yu's chin with one hand, looking left and right; the change was quite great, and for a moment he didn't recognize her.

According to the normal pattern, he should have known Qi Yu would come; after so many simulations, it's always been like this.

But he hadn't expected to meet her in this way.

「Is it really you, Master? 」

Qi Yu asked, somewhat uncertain; her brain must be in a crashed state, otherwise she wouldn't ask such a stupid question.

「Otherwise? How many people in this world know your name is Qi Yu? 」

「You don't seem... that surprised? 」

Qi Yu asked, facing this Master who was overly normal, she found herself momentarily unaccustomed.

The Blue Sapphire continued to roll its eyes and stick out its tongue beside them, completely unaware that it had gained another enemy.

But just then, before the two could say anything more, the chest armor of the Crimson Lotus Vajra suddenly emitted a creaking sound.

It seemed as if something was prying something outside....

Just as Zhang Jie was bewildered, looking over there in confusion, the chest armor plate of the Crimson Lotus Vajra suddenly let out a squeak!

A pair of hands pried open that gap, directly flipping open the entire chest armor!

Lin Ran's gloomy face appeared before Zhang Jie just like that.

Zhang Jie's mouth twitched.

「We're doomed, kids.... 」

「You! What's going on!!! 」

「The Alliance sent a message over, the crisis has been resolved. 」

In the Star Sea Hall, inside the Council Chamber, everyone's projections faced each other.

For half a day no one spoke, the atmosphere grew eerily strange to the extreme.

「Resolved? What does that mean? 」

「That is, whether it's this new kind of heavenly disaster or that thing suspected to be the heavenly disaster's king, everything has been resolved. 」

What does 'everything has been resolved' mean? Alliance, you jerk! Are you speaking human?

「Simply put, that pollution is the chaotic technology produced by a reclusive civilization's misguided research. 」

「And that guy suspected to be the heavenly disaster's king came over to absorb the pollution in order to deal with this mess. 」

「? 」

No, are you sure he won't mutate after absorbing so much pollution, kid?

Everyone in the Star Sea Hall didn't know how to react to this news; after a long while, they still decided to temporarily just watch and see.

After all, isn't there a saying that you never know what your teammates are up to, and if one of them suddenly goes crazy, you always need a way to remedy it.

Well, just as they thought, Zhang Jie is currently undergoing the Three Hall Trial....

「Speak! What's going on with you!!! 」

Lin Ran spoke first, staring coldly at Zhang Jie, looking extremely angry.

The person beside her was none other than Qi Yu from just now; she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

「Why are you guys dragging me into this? 」

The person sitting at the far edge was not Yunxiao or Weiniya, but Yuan with a speechless expression.

Listening to his words, the Blue Sapphire twisted and turned on Yuan's leg like a little caterpillar.

「Meow! I'm so stupid, meow! Blue Sapphire doesn't know what to do, meow! Help me, meow! 」

Yuan:......

「What kind of thing is this.... 」

Zhang Jie gazed at the utterly absurd scene before him, his eyelids twitching wildly.

「What what with what? 」

「The situation is just this situation; the specific situation you saw is just this situation. 」

「As for the actual situation, it's both complicated and simple; it's just this, the matter is just this. 」

Zhang Jie began spouting nonsense, empty talk flowing from his mouth, while the '井' marks on Lin Ran's head increased.

Bang!!!!

「Ouch! 」

Lin Ran directly threw the Disaster Breath out, it hit Zhang Jie's forehead squarely, but at least he didn't use the Heart-Piercing Spear, otherwise Zhang Jie would have become a fool.

Tsk.

Zhang Jie touched the bump on his head, sighed, and thought about how to explain his situation to Lin Ran and the others.

The simulator, still the same old, can't tell them what the situation is, but we can mix false with true and true with false to get by.

As long as the meaning is right, there's no problem!

Qi Yu?

Ah! Master! I'm here!

She jumped up and stood at attention like a soldier....

Zhang Jie's mouth twitched, then he guided:

Do you know if there are any mysterious existences in this universe?

Upon saying that, Qi Yu's gaze suddenly changed.

I know! What do you want to say, Master?

Yes, my situation is related to them.

Qi Yu's pupils literally shook, while Lin Ran looked completely clueless, outright revealing her inner dummy donkey.

Watching Lin Ran drool, Zhang Jie smirked inwardly and then continued to bamboozle.

That's how it is—Fate is the only mysterious existence I can name right now.

Everything is arranged by him.

Actually, I already died on the way to the Alliance to discuss business back then.

Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Ran, and Lin Ran also raised a finger pointing at herself.

Lin Ran:?????

Huh?

You....

Lin Ran then recalled her first encounter with Zhang Jie—oh no, I mean, their reunion.

Back then, she was worried about the Alliance's organic fuel supply, never expecting it to actually be Zhang Jie.

She had also heard from her subordinates that the ship Zhang Jie operated at the time had crashed in the Alliance's shipping lane.

In other words....

Zhang Jie nodded seriously.

That's right, that's how it is.
