Chapter 61 is truly hypocritical.
After Qiuhe and his group returned to the fireplace house, Clementine and the other two were already asleep. Qiuhe lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Then, his gaze fell on Peruvier, who was lying next to him.
The curse on his hand, like a venomous snake, silently spread to his wrist, but seemed to be restrained by some force, showing no sign of continuing to climb upwards. Qiuhe noticed that Peruvieri's expression showed no sign of pain.
Finally, Qiuhe gently grasped Peruvier's hand, as if cherishing a precious treasure. He slowly guided his consciousness into her consciousness space like a gentle stream.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the small flames that had been circling around Peruvieri had now turned into a raging inferno, burning wildly.
Peruvier, situated at the heart of the raging inferno, was completely engulfed in flames, resembling a flower blooming amidst a sea of fire. However, she did not appear to be in extreme pain, suggesting that the curse had not yet severely affected her.
Akikawa slowly approached Peruveli; however, as soon as the flames sensed his arrival, the massive ball of fire instantly swept towards him like a surging tidal wave. Just like last time,
Qiuhe was once again engulfed in flames, but this time his steps were as light as a leisurely stroll, without any hindrance. Moreover,
The place where Qiuhe was located was like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the surrounding flames and forming a huge vortex.
Qiuhe finally arrived at Peruvier's side, and the surrounding flames were absorbed by him and turned back into small flames, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
Qiuhe slowly sat down next to Peruvier, gently hugged her, and lightly kissed her on the cheek. "I'm sorry to have kept Peruvier waiting."
Peruvieri finally nestled gently into Akikawa's arms, the flames engulfing her slowly dissipating like a receding tide. At that moment, the curse on Peruvieri's hand outside slowly returned to her fingertips.
Moreover, Peruvieri's face was slightly flushed, and her lips were slightly parted, seemingly very comfortable and enjoying herself. Finally, she moved to the side and hugged Qiuhe next to her.
Meanwhile, Qiuhe, inside the consciousness space, also felt as if her body was being embraced by something, and realized it might be Peruvée outside.
“It’s okay. I am a unit with the one outside. I can feel your tenderness towards her.” Qiuhe understood now. In other words, she could empathize with everything that Peruvée outside had gone through.
However, when Peruvieri outside triggers the curse again, he will have to return here to completely absorb the curse on him.
After chatting with Peruvée in his consciousness space for a while, Akikawa returned to his body. When he opened his eyes, he found Peruvée indeed hugging him.
Then he gently closed his eyes, shifting his consciousness to his own mental space, where Dulin was idly cursing and complaining.
"Hmph, that brat! Ever since he asked me for power last time, he hasn't come to see me at all. He's heartless, worse than a pig or a dog!"
The next second, Qiuhe's consciousness slowly condensed before Dulin's eyes and gradually appeared. When Qiuhe opened his eyes, he saw Dulin's grinning face with a mouthful of fangs.
"Oh, what a rare guest! You little rascal, you still know to come see me, huh? Hmph, you wouldn't come here without a reason, you little brat, what do you want from me now?"
Qiuhe didn't care anymore; this guy always had such a foul mouth. He ignored him and sat down at Dulin's feet again, just like last time. "Nothing, just came to see if you, this big monster, are dead yet."
Dulin then sneered and said with a mocking laugh, "You little bastard, I thought you were so kind, but it turns out you're just as hypocritical. At first, I thought you were so ambitious with what you said that day in Mondstadt."
"And yet, because someone misunderstood you a few times, you coldly watched them die, refusing to help," Dulin then let out a maniacal and mocking laugh.
"You're nothing but a hypocrite. You see a girl is sad, so you go up and comfort her, kiss one and hug another. You're just after her looks."
After saying that, Dulin slowly brought his mouth closer to Qiuhe's, pouted, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"How hypocritical," Qiuhe said without refuting these words, because he genuinely didn't understand why he had simply stood by and watched instead of helping that person.
Could it be simply because he wronged her? Qiuhe knew she wasn't that kind of person, yet she couldn't understand why her heart felt so much colder than before.
Qiuhe remained silent, keeping his eyes closed and leaning against Dulin's feet. Dulin, finding his silence somewhat boring, clicked his tongue and turned his head away, muttering, "Idiot."
Just then, a person suddenly appeared on the top of the stone wall of the New Maple Leaf Academy of Sciences. It was the same person who had worn the fox mask earlier.
He stood atop the stone wall, gazing at the villa below, and muttered to himself, "This must be it." Then, the fox-masked man rose and, with incredible speed, instantly teleported from the top of the stone wall to the ground.
But as soon as he took a step on the ground, a large number of infrared beams were aimed at him. Suddenly, a large number of suppression, annihilation, and assault-specific mechanisms appeared around him, instantly surrounding the fox-masked man.
Seeing this, the fox-masked man sneered and took another firm step forward. In an instant, all the suppressive mechanisms erupted like a volcano, unleashing their full power.
The fox-masked man dodged all the bullets with lightning speed, simultaneously catching each one with his dagger.
At that moment, he approached one of the suppression mechanisms like a ghost, drew two daggers from his hands, and swiftly sliced it into countless pieces.
After destroying the suppression mechanism, the fox-masked man instantly teleported to the center of a group of suppression mechanisms. At this moment, a vast ocean of lightning elemental power gathered around him.
"Ten Thousand Calamities!" With a roar, countless clones surged outwards from the fox-masked man, like a surging tide, destroying most of the surrounding suppression mechanisms.
At that moment, a large number of annihilation and assault-specific traps surged towards the fox-masked man like a tidal wave. While dodging, the fox-masked man also launched a relentless and fierce attack on these traps like a torrential downpour.
In a swift movement, he leaped into the air, his leg lashing out like a steel whip, kicking directly at the two annihilation traps on either side. Upon landing, an assault trap instantly appeared before him.
Just as the weapon in their hand was about to strike the fox-masked man, he instantly exploded into a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, the fox-masked man had vanished without a trace. When the assault vehicle looked up at the sky...
The fox-masked man spun in mid-air, drew his dagger, and his body instantly surged with immense lightning elemental power. Like a thunderclap, he slammed down, cleaving the fortified mechanism in two.
The fox-masked man once again condensed a large amount of elemental power onto the dagger in his hand, and in an instant, most of the mechanisms were destroyed like remnants of a defeated army.
Then, the fox-masked man transferred his lightning elemental power to his hand and instantly unleashed a thunderous punch, piercing through the body of an annihilation device and extracting its core.
The fighting continued for a short while before the sounds of gunfire and the cracking of metal and explosions outside gradually subsided. At that moment, an elderly man dressed as a butler opened the door inside the villa and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"It's past 2 a.m., can't you all keep quiet for a bit! If you wake up the young master, I'll tear you all down tomorrow!"
As a result, the butler saw shattered pieces of the mechanism piled up like a small mountain outside, and in the middle stood a man wearing a fox mask.
Furthermore, it was discovered that the fox-faced man was short, appearing to be only a teenager.
The fox-masked man still held a core in his hand. With a slight exertion of force, he instantly crushed the core. The butler, witnessing this, was terrified and panicked, like a frightened bird.
He hurriedly turned his head, about to call for help, but before he could even utter a word, a kunai covered in lightning element instantly blew the butler's head off like lightning.
But the noise outside still woke the man inside. "What's going on in the middle of the night? Don't they know I'm busy..." But as soon as he opened the door, he saw this horrific scene.
