Middle-aged woman: "..."
She grabbed the little girl, "Let's go, I'll take you to the bathroom."
The middle-aged woman felt uneasy, it seemed there had been another reset, and there was new content in her notebook.
It read, "This place is extremely dangerous, leave immediately!"
There was another note, "This person named Su Buxian is a thief and a scoundrel who deceives and kidnaps children, but he seems trustworthy."
She found it hard to understand how such conflicting assessments could coexist in the same person! What had happened in the last reset? Wasn't I supposed to be wary of him?
The middle-aged woman couldn't figure it out.
But she had decided to take the little girl and leave immediately.
Su Qi watched the two of them and softly said,
"Let's talk, otherwise you'll die once you leave."
As soon as he said this,
The middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she fiercely stared at Su Qi, pulling the little girl behind her, her aura suddenly intensifying, "What are you talking about!"
Su Qi shrugged, "In five minutes, monsters will flood this place like a tide, and there are also other Elite Monsters waiting all around. With a body on the verge of collapse, where can you possibly run?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned, "How do you know all this!"
"Because... I just experienced a reset," Su Qi said with a light smile, tossing out the words as if they were weightless.
No matter how lightly spoken, those words struck the middle-aged woman like lightning. She turned deathly pale, ready to flee with the little girl!
In her view... the so-called external monsters were far less terrifying than a person who could retain his memory through a reset!
Su Qi muttered, appearing in front of the two, "Running without calmness will only harm you."
The middle-aged woman clenched her teeth, staring hard at Su Qi, "Who exactly are you? If you are an enemy, I will take you down with me!"
Su Qi looked at her as if she were an idiot, "Use that walnut-sized brain of yours and think, if I were an enemy, why would I tell you any of this."
The middle-aged woman was at a loss for words.
However, the little girl tugged at her sleeve, "I think Brother Su makes sense."
Middle-aged woman: "..."
"No more buts, we're running out of time."
Su Qi casually snapped his fingers, "Let's find a quiet place first, and let me tell you what exactly happened before the last reset."
About a minute later.
The middle-aged woman looked dazed, "You're saying at the last moment... you saved us? And even made a promise?"
"Of course, I am... the hired hitman you paid a hefty price for."
His previous statements had not changed, except for some minor tweaks at the end. After all, she wouldn't remember anything after the reset, so why not mess with it?
And since Su Qi had decided to address the source of the mist, he naturally stood with the little girl... the Master of Destruction.
She possessed the formidable power of the Evil God!
He couldn't control that!
The middle-aged woman looked suspicious, not fully convinced yet, but the little girl nodded, "I believe... Big Brother is a good person."
A belated acknowledgment of goodwill.
Su Qi nodded in satisfaction, "Good, you have good judgment."
Middle-aged woman took a deep breath, "Alright... I'll reveal some information to you, someone is after a treasure on my person..."
Su Qi, "...Stop making things up."
He pointed at the little girl, "She's the so-called Master of Destruction, right, with the ability to reset things, you are her Protector, hiding from the power of the Mist Source, and this body is still..."
Listening to Su Qi's clear words one after another, the middle-aged woman looked shocked and almost shouted, "How the hell do you know all this!"
"I've said it before, sincerity is the best weapon, don't waste time and trust anymore, just tell the truth, there's nothing I, Brother Su, haven't seen."
The middle-aged woman took a deep breath, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes, "...Mortals shouldn't be too arrogant, the world is vast."
"Standing before you... is an entity beyond your imagination, the great Master of Destruction..."
She suddenly found herself unable to continue.
Because Su Qi was pinching the little girl's cheek, "So, esteemed Master of Destruction, why are you so weak right now?"
The little girl, unlike before where she dodged the nurses, softly spoke, "I don't know... Xiran said I am a soul entity, my real power is asleep somewhere in an ancient land... She wants to take me back there... to restart an era."
The middle-aged woman's eyes widened.
Although her master had no memory, she was rather blunt to be spilling all this!
"So Xiran is your name," Su Qi looked towards the middle-aged woman; that was the name the little girl had given when he asked.
The middle-aged woman coldly said, "Your Highness's real name... how could it be casually told to you... a mere mortal couldn't handle it."
And so Su Qi understood.
Because this wasn't the first time he'd come across such a thing, in Lin Yuan Land, the bishop... sought to leave the Ancient Battlefield and revive, which actually wasn't much different from this current Master of Destruction.
The only difference was... the opponent had turned into Evil God.
"The source of the mist is an entity of the same rank as Her Highness, although sealed in the Abyss, it nonetheless does not wish to see our master recover, pressing against the seal and exerting its power on this world to keep us from leaving, and it has unleashed numerous monsters to hunt us."
"So..." the middle-aged woman paused, looking at Su Qi, "once you decide to help us, you will also be plunged into this disaster, and targeted by that horrific existence."
"After hearing all this, do you still have the courage to help Her Highness?"
Should I scoop out my eyeballs to show you?
If it weren't for Evil God being the opponent, I probably wouldn't even take this job!
Undeterred, Su Qi declared, "Since I've promised, I must see it through, especially since if you're gone, where would I even send the bill?"
Others always leave something unsaid.
But you, so unabashedly and shamelessly spell it all out.
The middle-aged woman looked at Su Qi and sighed, "The problem now is, the place we want to leave... is right through the channel where the Mist Source originates, probably teeming with more monsters, and dangers greater in both degree and strength. Can you truly help us?"
"Now... it's time to use the hidden technique."
Su Qi softly declared.
The middle-aged woman stunned, "What's that?"
The little girl's eyes sparkled, "I know this... just now in the arcade game King of Fighters, Brother Su used it. He not only had infinite energy and couldn't be beaten, but in the end, he pulled out a rocket launcher. He said this was the secret technique he painstakingly trained and obtained through hard work."
Angry, the middle-aged woman looked at Su Qi, "Have you no shame!"
"That's not important..."
Su Qi calmly said, "Anyway, this secret technique can only be used once, and can't be used again after a reset."
His tone slightly serious and his gaze piercing, he gently said with a smile:
"We need to clear this with one life!"
