"Ugh?!" Li Pu's mouth was rubbed flat and rounded, squeezing out a string of unintelligible protests.
Tifa didn't care and showed no mercy—the little rascal's face in front of her felt wonderfully soft!
So this is the kind of idyllic life Emma lives!
She rubbed and kneaded it, watching the "little glutinous rice balls" distort into all sorts of strange shapes under her hands. The anger she had been holding in finally found a perfect outlet.
The little one also joined in the fun.
"The essence of 'destiny' that is not accepted and accommodated will become polluted!"
Black Lily sighed, "In short, this hotel has been distorted and contaminated by the 'Flying Light' blessing source, but as long as someone matches the blessing, a 'Flying Light' chosen one will definitely be born."
"That's why the Eagle City government keeps sacrificing lives; they want the 'Flying Light' chosen one."
"I want it more than any other chosen one before!"
Li Pu grabbed Tifana's still-ravaging "claws" on his face, finally seizing the opportunity to ask the ultimate question that had been lingering in his mind for so long:
“So—” He looked directly into Black Lily’s beautiful eyes, his voice more serious than ever before, “What exactly is ‘Flying Light’? Why does Eagle City… want it like a madman?”
The Black Widow did not get annoyed by the interruption.
As long as it doesn't involve the witch's secrets, she could tell the kid a thousand and one nights' worth of stories...
In the popular science explanation of Black Lily:
"Flying Light" is the most mysterious and enigmatic existence in the ancient legends of the Eastern Continent.
The terminator of the Immortal Dragonborn, the eternal nemesis of Prosperity.
Legend has it that He personally severed... the head of the "immortal".
Moreover, most beliefs related to gods have magnificent temples and vast scriptures, but 'Flying Light' is different.
His traces seem to have been deliberately erased.
The place of origin is untraceable, and the transmission of the belief has been interrupted.
He may be a part of the vague and bizarre tales of a certain dynasty in the Eastern Continent;
Or perhaps it was just a fleeting glance at a record by the historians of Dongzhou, who dared not delve into it;
Even... it lingers in the wandering poets' melancholy chants and the ramblings of wandering knights-errant.
However, in recent archaeological documents from Dongzhou, some scholars believe that the customs of a certain place in Dongzhou may be related to "flying light".
There is a legend of a bleeding sun that is passed down there. On certain festivals, people sing and dance to call for the sun to rise and set in order to ensure the "stability" of time.
Therefore, a large number of scholars from the Eastern Continent have concluded that this is a symbol of a past chaos in time and space in this place!
Because of the occurrence of similar "time and space chaos" phenomena and strange tales, we are bound to find some clues about "Flying Light"!
Put these aside.
Eagle City Official -
Why is this chosen one, "Flying Light," who was almost lost to legend, being given such importance?
Not only because the "Flying Light" God-Chosen, who has been the "Chosen Champion" since its inception, is powerful enough.
There is another most important reason.
"Legend has it that the only 'Flying Light' chosen one in the Eastern Continent with any historical records... after completing that fateful 'Dragon Slayer'—this world began an irreversible collapse!"
At this point, both Ada Wong and Widow Black wore solemn expressions.
The appearance of "Flying Light" is very likely related to the appearance of "Otherworldly Witch".
This is also why the "Witches' Guild" sent their two strongest agents to intercept the "Flying Light" Chosen One.
As for the rest, they didn't know.
Li Pu silently noted down this intelligence.
It doesn't matter whether God chooses him or not, the bigger the reward for this exciting game, the better!
However, he didn't care, but Tifa and the little one...
After thinking for a moment, he said to Ada Wong and Lily Black:
"Get Tifa, Chip, and 2B out safely, use my spot."
They don't need to risk their lives for me.
"Contact the head of District R. I need to speak with our firm's boss, Emma the White Queen. She'll agree to bail him out."
The next second!
boom! !
The world outside the window suddenly exploded into a blinding expanse of pure white!
It was as if a hundred million flashbangs had been detonated at the same time, the intense light blazing into every corner of the room, instantly stripping everyone of their sight!
"Ugh!" "What happened!" Exclamations and gasps of surprise rang out simultaneously.
Then—instead of diminishing, the light seemed to be swallowed whole by some enormous, greedy "mouth"!
All light suddenly collapsed, plunging into a state that even the deepest night could not reach—
Absolutely jet black!
"Damn!" Li Pu's heart skipped a beat. He lunged to the window and yanked open the curtains!
The sight before him made his scalp tingle and his pupils shrink!
It's not that nothing can be seen outside! There's something that could barely be called a light source...
Above the hotel, a huge, breathtaking "black sun" hangs high in the sky!
It wasn't pitch black... but rather like a festering, melting sore! A thick, greasy, dark fluid churned on its surface, constantly dripping down.
The filth did not dissipate, but instead condensed around the hotel building, like a layer of thickening, sticky, foul-smelling black grease!
A bleeding sun!
Black Lily and Ada Wong exchanged a glance and sighed silently.
"Now, none of us can get out..."

Chapter Thirty-Five: Could his ability be something Ace admires?!
The temporary frontline command post is located outside the hotel's lockdown area.
"what's the situation!"
"Report! Report! At the target site... the pollution levels are escalating wildly! They're rising exponentially! Source unknown! Repeat, source unknown!!"
Almost at the same second, another sharp, urgent report pierced the chaos:
"Report--!!!"
The "report" was as if it had been choked, and the rest of the words turned into a harsh, intermittent electrical noise:
"Sizzle—Report…buzz…magnetic field…spatial magnetic field…sizzle—violent disturbance has occurred!! Constant deviation value…buzzing…threshold exceeded…buzz—"
The black sun that appeared out of nowhere was like a huge abyss suddenly opening up in the dome!
Exera, the leader of the R district who was painting a rosy picture of how to "expand and strengthen" the weakest R district in Eagle City, was panicking!
This completely exceeded the contingency plan and was beyond our comprehension!
We were completely caught off guard!
Almost instinctively, with a hint of pleading that she herself was unaware of, her gaze turned to the opposite side of the makeshift command table—the true "special beings" of Sector R, the two extraordinary "chosen ones."
The voluptuous, imposing White Queen sprang from her seat. Her usually languid and elegant face was now covered in frost, and her voice was filled with barely suppressed rage:
"Oh no, my cat! I have to go inside!"
"I didn't expect this to be so much fun!" Almost at the same time the White Queen spoke, the catgirl Liv jumped up like a spring. Her eyes shone, her ears twitched excitedly, and her fluffy tail wagged wildly behind her. "Junior brother, just how many surprises are you going to bring me, hehe~"
"Listen!" The White Queen glared fiercely at Liv. "That's my child! Not a cat toy to amuse you!"
Liv wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, she bared her cute little fangs at the mature woman, her excitement undiminished.
Two pairs of eyes clashed fiercely in the suddenly heated air. Then, in perfect unison, with extreme impatience and annoyance at each other, they rolled their eyes at each other in a way that could have blown the ceiling off.
They got up to leave.
Exela was extremely anxious.
Clearly, in the hearts of the two chosen ones, that "two-headed dragon" brat was far more important than her empty promises.
But the Chosen One is the absolute core of the plan, and we must find a way to win him over!
"Please wait!"
Exela was getting anxious.
All we had to do was bring that two-headed dragon brat back, so why did this accident happen?!
The current situation has spiraled out of control, shattering her carefully constructed illusion of being in control and shaking the foundation of her attempt to win over these two key figures.
A strong sense of crisis dispelled some of the initial stagnation.
"No...this can't go on!" A thought exploded in Exala's chaotic mind, filled with an almost desperate urgency to save herself.
do something!
We must immediately provide a direction that appears "effective," can stabilize the emotions of these two chosen ones, and better demonstrates her value!
Almost without thinking, a fragment of a plan that had been in the works previously and now seemed particularly important—yet particularly powerless—forcefully took over my thoughts.
"Quickly!" Exella's voice rose, urgent and forceful as she turned to her subordinates and picked up Lip's photo!
"Rescue the target! At all costs! Now! Immediately!" The moment the order left her lips, she wasn't even sure if the road outside still existed.
The air freezes.
The all-female team of female assistants and officers were simultaneously stunned by their leader's loss of composure and the strange sight outside the window, and for a moment no one responded.
"Hurry—go—ah—!!!"
Instantly, the command center exploded!
Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, and the entire command center turned into a chaotic yet busy hive.
After shouting, Axela's chest heaved deeply as she forcefully suppressed her emotions, which were on the verge of spiraling out of control, back into a sliver of cold rationality.
A few strands of hair, damp with sweat, clung to her pale forehead. "Activate...activate the observation crystal!"
The crystal ball in the center of the table, which had been dim and unstable due to magnetic field disturbances, suddenly emitted a low hum and returned to normal.
Of course, the price for doing so was that two subordinates fell unconscious on the spot.
"Lady Emma, Lady Liv, please... calm down."
“Please look, both of you. Even if... even if it is contaminated, the core sealing power of this sealed artifact can still remain stable for the time being before it completely collapses, which is enough to serve as our ‘eyes’.”
She even tried to force a reassuring, extremely strained smile:
"Rather than taking risks at this moment, it's better to first see how far the storm has gone before making thorough preparations. It's not too late."
The crystal's light reflected off the three people's faces, creating an interplay of light and shadow.
But when Li Pu's figure appeared on the crystal ball, all three of them were stunned!
While Exela was making empty promises to the two, Little Marip was already fully prepared in the safe house and was about to leave.
But why!
Are the two female supervisors with him wearing collars?
That posture, that submissive cooperation...
It's exactly like... a toy that has been completely tamed and stripped of all its edges?!
She's been trained!?
