I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 1002

What kind of loneliness did Qiong experience in the past that led him to create such a lively and adorable friend deep in his heart?

Overwhelmed by a certain shared experience and a sense of shared past emotions, Tirispyos did not turn around, but naturally, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, she reached out her hand behind her.

Her fingertips first touched the hem of Qiong's clothes, and then she firmly grasped his warm and slender hand.

The orange-red flames flickered, illuminating her originally snow-white profile as if it were dyed with the sunset, giving it a captivating blush.

Feeling the soft, delicate hand in hers, Qiong blinked and turned to March 7 behind her with a subtle look.

Because the only light source was torches, and the secret passage was very narrow, the last person on March 7th could not see the two holding hands in front of them.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"

She narrowed her pinkish-blue eyes suspiciously, like a wary kitten.

"Tell me! Are you secretly making up stories about me being stupid again?"

To be honest, March Seven wasn't bothered at all by the fact that she and Sora had unexpectedly arrived in Onphalos ahead of schedule.

Instead, there was a secret, smug feeling.

Although she seems to genuinely possess prophetic and jinxing qualities, what if her uncanny predictions in the game "Immortal Ship" come true...?

Given Onpharos's time flow rate, she and Qiong would have to carry it for a very, very long time.

For such a long time, it was all just the two of them.

This time, this is her turn!

How can we possibly lose?

We can't possibly lose!

"How could that be? Ah Qi is the smartest."

As she spoke, March 7th felt a warm hand take hers.

"Be careful in the dark, don't fall."

"Hmph~ That's more like it~"

March 7th was immediately appeased, happily grasping Qiong's hand and shaking it back and forth, a joyful smile blooming on her face.

See? See?

She said there was absolutely no way she could lose!

The advantage lies with me!

"Huh~?"

The purple cube, perched atop the dome, took advantage of its superior vantage point to see the scene of Tirispius holding the dome's left hand in front of it, and March 7 holding the dome's right hand behind it.

She looked ahead, rolled around, and looked back.

"Neh~"

He made a thoughtful sound.

Qiong glanced up at her head, then ignored her.

"Yeah~"

The sudden stop caused March 7 to bump into Qiong's back, her exquisite jade pendant pressed against his arm without leaving a single gap.

The slime's transformation made March 7th blush slightly.

"Hey~ What are you doing~"

Why did it suddenly stop?

March 7th suspected that Qiong did it on purpose, but there was no evidence.

"The road ahead is blocked; this is due to force majeure."

The first half of the sentence is an explanation of March 7th, and the second half is an explanation of Tirispius.

This is called the art of language.

It was Tirispius who stopped first, and Qiong bumped into her, burying her head in her fiery red hair.

My nose brushed against Tirispius's swan-like nape, and a unique fragrance, a blend of scholarly and subtle floral scents, filled my nostrils.

Due to the height difference and the momentum of his movements, while holding Tirispius's hand, the back of his hand accidentally brushed against the curve of her firm, round buttocks...

Tirispius said nothing, but her cheeks, illuminated by the firelight, almost blended into the flickering flames.

"Huh? The secret passage is broken. Has it been neglected for years?"

March 7th didn't notice Tirispeius's strange behavior ahead and tilted his head to look ahead.

By the light of the flames, it could be seen that the road ahead had collapsed from above and was blocked.

"It seems someone has noticed this secret passage and wants to stop me."

Tirispius breathed a sigh of relief.

She checks the secret passage regularly, and it was intact the last time she checked it.

"It seems they really are planning to take action against you soon?"

To prevent Tirispyos from escaping prematurely, the secret passage she used for escape was blocked.

"We don't know how much has collapsed. If we start digging now, will it be enough time?"

Tirispius's expression was resolute; she would never sit idly by and wait for her doom.

"Of course there's still time."

Qiong pressed down on Tirispyos's slightly tense shoulders, pulled her behind him, and took out a yo-yo.

With your palm facing up, gently toss it up.

A dazzling, sky-blue light spread out from the sphere.

"I'm using magic to get jade and kidneys/livers!"

The rapidly spinning energy sphere was propelled forward by the dome and crashed into the collapsed earth and rocks.

"Ah Qi".

"Here it comes~"

March 7th reacted very quickly, waving her little hand.

The crystal-clear six-phase ice immediately spread out, fixing the path blasted open by the dome and preventing the soil above from falling.

Since six-phase ice can be briefly seen by people, it is naturally possible to come into contact with matter.

But once March 7th ceases to exist, its traces will be erased by a force of forgetting.

This is also a characteristic that was discovered by March 7th and Qiong within two months.

Qiong discovered that the force seemed to be erasing March 7's traces in order to protect her.

It might even erase some of his traces.

This is a good thing.

If Onpharos has administrators, finding traces of them will be much more difficult.

"Is...this the power of Oronis?"

Having quickly passed through the congested phase, Tirispius looked back at the pile of stones.

Her memories of the six-phase ice were forgotten and erased; the vague memories skipped the process.

Judging from the results alone, it's somewhat similar to the power of time.

Given that Qiong is related to Oronis, it's perfectly normal for her to be able to use the power of Suiyang.

And he just shouted "March 7th".

That is to call upon another side of yourself to harness the power of time.

The logic is complete and reasonable.

"let's go."

The three continued forward through the secret passage with torches, and after walking for about half a standard hour, they reached the end of the tunnel.

Tirispeius activated the mechanism again, and a hidden stone door slid open silently, letting in fresh air.

"This is...the Hall of the Three Phases of Destiny?"

On the seventh day of the third month, the first thing to peek out was the moon, looking around.

Two months is enough time for her to know the neighborhood inside and out.

What lies ahead?

Qiong pointed to the palace in front of him and asked.

"The altar that leads to Tarranton, our goal is the Treasury of Janus."

Tirispius became cautious.

"I know~ This way?"

Relying on the fact that no one could see her, March 7th didn't seem to be sneaking around at all. She hopped and skipped around in the middle of the empty corridor, raising her arms to point in the direction.

"Let's go. If you encounter any trouble on the way, we'll help you."

After saying that, Qiong transformed into Jerry's form.

Having witnessed this miraculous change before, Tirispius was not surprised; she nodded.

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

Tirispius gently lifted the dome and the bewildered purple cube and placed them in her skirt pocket.

"Huh? Wait, Qiong can..."

Just as March 7th was about to say, "Just let Qiong stay by my side," Tirispyos couldn't hear her at all.

She could only watch helplessly as Qiong was stuffed into the saintess's skirt pocket, her pink cheeks puffed out slightly, like a cat whose dried fish had been stolen.

Although she was imprisoned in the past, Tirispius knew the interior of the Hall of the Three Fates as well as her own home.

She hurried toward the Janus Treasury.

March 7th followed behind in a carefree manner, occasionally peering curiously at the reliefs on the wall.

The former is cautious and vigilant, while the latter is carefree and bouncy, completely oblivious to any danger.

Qiong Jerry, who was only peeking out with his head to observe the outside world, found the scene somewhat comical.

The journey was not without its challenges; they encountered several groups of temple guards on routine patrols.

Fortunately, these ordinary guards were unaware of the saintess's true situation.

As long as she didn't run into the direct subordinates of the Damnatio faction of the Senate, Tirisippius, with her status as a saint and her prestige, managed to pass through without any major incidents.

"arrive."

Turning the last corner, a bronze gate engraved with reliefs came into view.

Tirispeius stopped in the shadows in the distance, gazing at the treasure vault of Janus, preparing for her final sprint.

"This is way too easy!"

March 7th, who was following behind, couldn't help but sigh, hands on his hips, with an expression that said, "It's nothing special."

"It doesn't seem difficult at all. There's not a single decent obstacle. I thought there would be a thrilling battle!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiong Jerry suddenly poked half of her body out of her skirt pocket and covered her forehead tightly with her two little paws.

[My goodness! Don't you know how blessed your mouth is? Why are you making such a bold statement now?]

"It can't be that bad."

March 7th felt a little guilty after Qiong's exaggerated reaction and muttered under her breath.

Then she saw Tirispyoss being stopped by a squad of sharp-eyed guards as soon as she approached the treasury gate.

The leader was a guard captain with a cold and stern face.

"Your Holiness, the Janus Treasury is currently undergoing repairs and inventory of sacred artifacts, and is temporarily closed. No one is permitted to enter."
