Myriad Paths

Beside the dirty river.

Li Qi confronted the three.

Of course, the three of them thought they were confronting Li Qi, but Li Qi was just observing.

And this kind of observation will not last long, it is only a moment, and Li Qi has completely understood their situation.

"Well... you are all good people." Li Qi said.

In Li Qi's opinion, law enforcers are basically good people.

In Li Qi's case, the criterion for judging whether he is a good person is "altruism". As long as he is willing to be altruistic, he is considered a good person.

And these spellcasters are typical 'altruists'. For them, even if they have suffered severe psychological trauma, they are still willing to restrain themselves, put their own interests behind, and use their own abilities to protect most people. It can be said to be quite noble to not be harmed by weird things.

Whether it is the young man who crawled out of his mother's corpse, the veteran who is accustomed to obeying orders, or the ignorant, faceless girl who actually knows nothing and is as artificial as a baby. They were the people Li Qihui faced with a smile.

However... bad people really like to push other good people and weak people to the front, making it difficult for other good people.

It's the same thing in front of me.

"Your situation is not good, but... it's just right. Let's go. I'm looking forward to the new residence you gave me." Li Qi said.

The veteran breathed a sigh of relief.

Whoever this person is, he seems to be easy to get along with.

Then, as long as he is taken back to the headquarters, in the shelter there, no matter how weird he is, he should be able to be suppressed.

After all... there is a friendly 'most powerful weirdo in history', and it is his existence and the support of the royal family that make the Law Enforcement Bureau truly become a violent law enforcement agency that can deter weirdos and all kinds of superpowers.

Li Qize maintained his usual gentleness, temporarily interrupted his plan, and followed the other party to leave.

Through the underground train, Li Qi embarked on a journey.

The underground train station is the transportation hub here. It has six huge entrances, like an evil beast with its mouth open, swallowing people underground, and then six railway lines emerge from behind them.

Li Qi sat on the subway seat and looked outside.

The tunnel outside the subway is actually flashing with some monsters, but they are all harmless black shadows, which is quite interesting. Under the ground, it seems that there is also a gathering place of spirits. I think it is quite haunted.

The two men sat in front of and behind Li Qi as if nothing had happened. They looked very relaxed. In fact, the safety of the gun was not turned off. They were ready to fight Li Qi anytime and anywhere. They were sweating nervously.

Only the Sanwu girl really didn't feel anything. She sat next to Li Qi and stared at Li Qi intently.

Li Qi also smiled back at her.

She tilted her head, then searched in her pocket, found a piece of candy, thought about it, broke it in half, and stared at the two halves for three minutes.

Finally, she sadly chose the larger piece and handed it to Li Qi: "Please...eat."

This action made the backs of the two men in front and behind tense up.

"Thank you." Li Qi smiled and took the candy naturally and put it in his mouth.

"By the way, as a return gift, I'll give this to you." Li Qi stretched out his hand in front of the other party, but his palm was empty.

The two men immediately looked over, their hands already on the triggers of the guns. The young man had poor concentration, and cold sweat had broken out on his forehead.

Then Li Qi turned his hand, and a trace of power from the inner world surged out, giving birth to a flower.

The flowers were delicate and even dripping with water, as if they had just been picked from the garden in the early morning.

In this world where sewage flows, such a flower can only be seen at the banquets of nobles. The fresh and fragrant smell made both men feel stunned.

The three-no girl was even more stunned. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath, took the flower, stared at it for a while, and took a bite.

Then the expression obviously changed into (;′⌒`).

"It's so bitter...it smells good, but it doesn't taste good."

"Tsk--" Li Qi chuckled: "Of course it won't taste good if you eat it like this. You can take it back, chop it up, and boil it with sugar. It will be delicious. This is called rose sauce, and it tastes very good."

"Okay." Sanwu girl nodded, then put away the flower she took a bite of.

From beginning to end, she showed no other emotion except for the bitter look on her face.

The two men looked at each other, then turned their heads away.

It can be confirmed that this is indeed some kind of weirdness. If he were a human, he would have been so strong that it was weird.

Create something out of thin air…

With this level of power, fortunately he is a friendly type, but I don't know the details.

The atmosphere in the carriage was no longer so tense.

About an hour later, Li Qi arrived at the 'headquarters'.

He came here not to follow the crowd, but suddenly felt that he should meet the ultimate trump card here, the 'strongest weirdo' in this world. From the other party, he could evaluate the impact of the dead demon on the world, and then deduce the influence of the dead demon's remains on the outside world. sustained intensity.

This is also one of the purposes of Li Qi coming to this world. He planned to use this sample to observe the dead demon from the beginning. As for the rest... it was just incidental.

Of course, through Zhenzhi's previous scan, he probably knows this 'strongest weirdo' better than anyone else in the world, but after all, he is an intelligent creature. No one knows what decision an intelligent creature will make before actually talking to the other person.

This is the wonder of advanced wisdom. Even if you have a complete understanding of the other person's life, you still can't judge what he will do. They are not machines. After all, the deduction is just a 'probability', not a real decision on the future.

Of course, for Li Qi, if the future is not what he wants, then he has to start over. This is the privilege of the third grade.

It's just that... Li Qi doesn't like to use this ability. He has never used it once until now, because his 'Tao', his answer to reality and illusion, does not allow him to treat these lives as phantoms.

Therefore, Li Qi's ability to backtrack is actually quite weak, which is also a limitation brought by his 'Answer to the Tao'.

Just like some fourth-level people cannot travel faster than light speed, their fourth-level answers do not support their ability to travel faster than light speed, so their travel will be very troublesome.

The same goes for Li Qi. When he believes that this world is real, he also places restrictions on his magical powers. He cannot look back at the world at will. This is not because he is not capable, but because he is subjectively unwilling. Using this ability, using it forcefully is a disservice to his path.

But correspondingly, he has also gained the stability of reality. Faced with attacks on his own existence, he can also rely on the stability of reality to make himself more difficult to be affected.

Thinking about this, Li Qi had already completed the examination.

The staff here are very friendly to Li Qi, but Li Qi knows the reason for being friendly, because he can easily hear what everyone in the entire facility is saying.

In the secret room that they thought was strictly protected, the previous trio of law enforcers had already reported Li Qi's matter to the higher-ups.

This is a powerful, mysterious, but seemingly friendly weirdo.

Its origin is unknown, but it possesses quite terrifying power, and can even conjure a flower out of thin air.

It can't be a trick like magic, because the sample of the flower has been brought back. There is no such flower in this world, it is a non-existent species.

However, the act of taking away the flowers for laboratory examination made one of the three team members mentally unstable, so they were quickly returned to them, but it was enough.

Species that do not exist in this world... may be important clues to explore this weirdness.

Moreover, this weirdo also took the initiative to make his request. He wanted to meet 'Cocoon'.

‘Cocoon’, the strongest weirdo on record, calls himself ‘Cocoon’, and is extraordinarily friendly to humans. Even if he is attacked or even abused or criticized, he will tolerate him unconditionally, just like a mother.

But when it comes to things 'other than humans', she will become extremely violent. Although she will still obey people's orders and restrain herself, when faced with the weird rampage contained in the setting, she has attacked, torn and eaten several times. Something else weird.

After she eats other weird things, she will also undergo subtle changes in herself, so in order to prevent the "being friendly to others" from disappearing, she must not be allowed to eat unless it is an emergency.

However, the 'murderous baby' was a super weird thing that even the law enforcers couldn't deal with, but it was solved by the weird thing in front of them, and no battle even broke out. Coupled with the characteristics of the void creation, and the same 'friendly to people' Attitude, perhaps the two can meet in isolation.

Li Qi spent about four or five hours observing and waiting until after daylight before he was qualified to meet with 'Cocoon'.

He politely thanked the people around him, but this move made others break out in cold sweat.

During this period, Li Qi also saw many strange things similar to 'magic weapons'. They were items with special properties and had various properties that were only found in the world of desire. They were quite interesting.

Soon, Li Qi came to the secret room underground and saw the existence of the 'cocoon'.

"Cocoon... this name is really good. Did you choose it yourself?" Li Qi was underground, looking at the 'female' opposite through a thick glass wall.

It can only be described as female, because the other party looks like an anthropomorphic moth, looking... strange, beautiful, and pitiful.

She has pitch-black compound eyes, two antennae on her forehead, and her body is covered with a lot of fluff, but outside of the fluff, the rest of her translucent body has an intoxicating light.

The moment 'Cocoon' saw Li Qi, she became furious.

No one thought that this peaceful, docile, and even lovable 'Cocoon' would burst out with such terrifying murderous intent in front of another friendly weirdo for the first time!

Li Qi also didn't expect that even though he knew that he might not be very popular, he didn't expect that he would cause such a big reaction.

Then, in order to prevent others from being frightened, Li Qi waved his hand gently.

Time has stopped.

Except for Cocoon and Li Qi, the movement of Qi in the entire world was stopped by Li Qi's magical power, showing a 'time-stop' effect.

The cocoon is still bursting with power, and even this power has reached the eighth level, which is the limit of this world. If left alone, it can probably destroy a city.

In this world, this is indeed the ‘strongest in history’.

But in front of Li Qi, it seemed a little bit unspectacular.

Li Qi took a step forward, and the cocoon's power was completely suppressed, shrinking into a ball.

"You should be the spirit condensed from the thoughts of the 'Orthodox' believers, or according to the world's terms... you are the 'god' worshiped by the Orthodox Church, right?"

"I wanted to visit your church before, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Can I ask, why do we support industrialization, why do we set up this organization to hunt other spiritual phenomena, and why do we prevent these mortals from flying into the sky? You should know the consequences of all this, right?"

Li Qi walked up to Cocoon and said to her.

Cocoon's attitude towards Li Qi is very violent. Her power is enough to destroy the city. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a 'god' in this world.

But it was a pity that she had to 'speak well' in front of Li Qi.

"Danger... you are too dangerous. Where did you come from?" Cocoon looked at Li Qi and murmured.

Li Qize said: "Don't worry, I don't have any hostility. The main purpose of my coming here is to explore your relationship with the outside universe. I hope you can cooperate with me. If you agree, let all this start again." "

"Of course, if you don't agree, I will leave here, don't worry."

Cocoon raised her moth-like face and said: "...If you leave, all we have to face is destruction, right?"

"I don't know. In fact, if I figure out this problem, I won't be here anymore. Let's get back to the topic, why do you support industrialization? And you also deliberately create such a painful scene. This should not suit you. Your character, right? You should want these mortals to be happy.”

After hearing Li Qi's words, 'Cocoon' was silent for a long time.

It seemed that she realized that she was not qualified to fight with the person in front of her, nor could she negotiate terms with the person in front of her. She even had the option of 'rejecting' because of the other person's kindness.

This is also Li Qi's character. He himself was chased by the powerful ones and had no choice all the way, so... he would try his best to give others a choice.

As mentioned before, only after you have been caught in the rain do you want to hold an umbrella for others. (See Chapter 1 for details)

So, the existence named 'Cocoon' replied: "If there is no fog in the sky... then it will be very dangerous, even more dangerous than you."

This made Li Qi raise his eyebrows and said: "As an eighth-grade... your senses are really, surprisingly sharp."
