Ueno Chiki's mind was in a mess. Zhidong was so far away from Inazuma, so you came all the way here just to decide not to build it?
"Why?" he couldn't help but ask.
"No reason, I just won't build it." She looked at him deeply again, "Even if I build it, you will destroy it."
Ueno Chiki broke out in a cold sweat, his heart seemed to have fallen into an ice hole, his hands trembled slightly, and he said as calmly as possible: "Young lady, what do you mean by this?"
"I can see a lot of things that happened in the past, you know?"
The girl's sweet and gentle voice shattered his last bit of fantasy.
The Eye of God and the Evil Eye hidden on his waist were shining with an unusually bright light. "Columbia, since you know all this, I can only fight to the death."
Violent thunder elements and fire elements continued to gather in the air.
However, at this moment, a bone-chilling cold and pain came from his bone marrow, and the black scales on his arms reappeared, emitting an ominous aura.
He felt like a drowning man, struggling desperately but powerlessly. He could only watch himself fall to the ground and be submerged in endless darkness.
When he was completely desperate, Columbia frowned slightly, bent down, stretched out her slender hand as white as jade, and placed it on his hand.
Then, a warm and clean force came from his hands, slowly dispelling all the darkness and coldness.
"Why do you want to help me?" He looked at Columbia's pure and cold face and asked with a heavy breath.
"I can feel that you are a good person." Columbia let go of her hand, stood up, and replied softly.
Ueno Chiki didn't know what to say for a moment. He received a nice guy card for no apparent reason.
Columbia, perhaps seeing Ueno Chiki's confusion, continued, "Don't be nervous. I'm different from other executives. I don't care about the situation of the Fatui organization, nor do I care about the execution of the mission. I will do everything seriously except what the Ice Queen asks me to do. The rest doesn't matter at all."
"So why are you here this time?"
"I'm here to have fun."
Chapter 87 She is my sister
Columbia's answer stunned Ueno Chiki. He never expected that her real purpose of coming to Inazuma was this.
"Codename 9527, please take me around during this time."
"Ok."
Columbia held out her hand to him, "Give me your evil eye. It's no good carrying it with you."
He took out the strange red evil eye and looked at it with mixed feelings. Although this evil eye brought him serious magic scale disease, it helped him withstand the blow from the puppet general at the critical moment.
Columbia took his evil eye and examined it casually. "It was indeed made by this guy Dotore. It contains things that should not exist in this world."
Then, a chilly air appeared in her hands and turned into solid ice that wrapped around the Evil Eye, turning it into a large lump of ice.
"I'll take this thing first." The evil eye disappeared in her hand.
Ueno Chiki had only one thought at this moment: his class with the Fatui was in vain!
Just when he was feeling a little discouraged, a pure white evil eye appeared in Columbia's hand. "Codename 9527, this is the evil eye given to me by the Ice Queen. It is of no use to me. Take it. Consider it your reward."
"Thank you, young lady!"
Ueno Chiki was ecstatic. The evil eye made by the Ice Queen herself was even more powerful than the Eye of God. If he had it, his strength would definitely rise to a new level. He would not have to do such embarrassing actions when fighting against powerful enemies.
"Code name 9527, you can just call me Columbia from now on."
"Okay, Columbia. Outside, you can call me by my real name, Ueno Chiki."
"Yes, code name Ueno Chiki."
........
In the early morning, the warm sunlight shines through the window and delicately falls on Yingmei's face. The light is gentle and kind, dispelling her sleepiness.
She stretched comfortably, then slowly opened her hazy eyes, took out toiletries from her space backpack, and walked out of the house to wash up.
As soon as she walked out of the house, she stopped immediately.
She suddenly discovered that in front of the steaming stove, a girl she had never seen before was squatting, staring intently at the boiling century egg and lean meat porridge in the pot.
The girl was wearing a pure white robe, with a pure and innocent face, and a pure white mesh veil in front of her eyes, as if the morning dew fell on the petals, mysterious and fascinating. Her long black hair was like a galaxy pouring down, shining with a black luster, making people want to touch it.
Yingmei looked at the girl and felt her heart melt. In less than a millionth of a second, she made a decision. She hugged the girl gently and kept close to her.
She squatted down beside the girl with a bright smile on her face, "Hello, I'm a traveler, who are you?"
The girl seemed not to hear the sound and continued to concentrate on watching the porridge boiling in the pot.
Seeing that she had no reaction, Ying Mei decided that this was a cold and aloof sister. Although she looked cold on the outside, she was actually passionate on the inside. As long as she could slowly melt her heart, she would be more unrestrained than an ordinary sister.
Thinking of this, an obscene smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"What are you two doing?"
His voice woke Columbia up. She looked around in confusion. When she found someone behind her, she stood up quickly like a frightened little rabbit and ran to Ueno Chiki.
Her actions made Yingmei so cute.
At this moment, Yingmei's eyes glowed with a murderous light, and she murmured, "Such a cute sister should be eaten by me, hehe."
She stood up, clenched her hands into claws, and walked towards Columbia like a cannibalistic zombie.
After seeing this, Columbia hid behind Ueno Chiki. Her intuition told her that the girl opposite her was very kind to her, but if she was caught by her, the experience would definitely not be very good.
"Stop going crazy here!" Ueno Chiki mercilessly flicked Yingmei's head.
The pain sobered Yingmei up. She glared at Ueno Chiki in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? I just want to be close to this sister."
Ueno Chiki ignored him and said to Columbia behind him: "This is a traveler. He looks quite, well, enthusiastic. Yes, enthusiastic. He actually has a good personality."
Columbia nodded, "I can feel that she is a good person and different from ordinary people."
Ueno Chiki then introduced to Yingmei, "This is Columbia, my distant relative from Zhidong. She is visiting me for a while."
"When did you have a relative named Zhidong?" Yingmei was very confused.
"Many years ago, my grandfather went on a winter trip and met my grandmother there. Columbia is the granddaughter of my grandmother's brother." Ueno Chiki made up a lie to get away with it.
"Let's have breakfast first!"
"Ok."
Yingmei's attention immediately shifted to breakfast.
After breakfast, Yingmei took Paimon out again to look for Thundergod's Eye.
After cleaning up the table, Chiki Ueno went to Inazuma Castle with Columbia.
However, not long after Ueno Chiki stepped out of the house, he unexpectedly met a passionate girl, who was his former dream goddess - Naganohara Yoshimiya.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his chest.
"Brother Qianshu, long time no see."
With the girl's words, the emotions and memories that had sunk deep in his heart burst out again in Ueno Chiki's heart.
He once tried his best to avoid this emotion. He felt that he was Zhang Qianshu from Earth, not Ueno Chishu who chose to commit suicide because of a failed relationship.
But he gradually realized that he was actually both Zhang Qianshu and Ueno Qianshu, and the two personalities were merged into one.
That's why I can't let go of my feelings for Xiao Gong.
But his realization came a little too late.
Because his heart has been divided into many parts, Yingmei, Xiao Gong, Kamisato Ayaka, Yae Kamiko, and even...
Chapter 88: Offline Girl Columbia
"Hello, Xiao Gong." Ueno Chiki replied softly.
After hearing his response, Xiao Gong was filled with joy. She felt that the familiar brother Qian Shu in her memory had returned. She looked at him with a smile, wanting to say something, but she found that there was a pure and lovely girl beside him.
"Who is this?" Xiao Gong's tone revealed a sense of uneasiness and vigilance.
"This is my distant cousin, her name is Columbia." Ueno Chiki explained simply, his tone revealing frankness and honesty.
"Hello, my name is Naganohara Yomiya, and I'm the owner of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop. If you want to see fireworks, come find me." After learning that the girl in front of her was just Ueno Chiki's cousin, she immediately said to Columbia enthusiastically.
"Hello, my name is Columbia, I'm a fool...wooooo,"
Ueno Chiki quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from revealing her true identity. The Fatui are very unpopular in Inazuma now, and the people all know that they were the ones behind the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order.
Just as he signaled Columbia with his eyes not to say this, he suddenly felt a pain in his palm. He looked at her in surprise and found that she was biting his palm with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
He tried to pull his hand away, but she held on tightly and showed no sign of letting go.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Gong asked in surprise.
Columbia finally let go. He looked at his palm and saw a small tooth mark deeply imprinted on it, leaving a clear mark.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Gong. My cousin's identity is a bit sensitive." He said apologetically.
"It's okay." Xiao Gong waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he didn't mind. "Brother Qianshu, I will stage a grand fireworks show at this year's New Year's Festival, remember to come!"
"Is the New Year coming so soon? Don't worry, I will definitely go and see it."
He still remembered that he had already agreed with Kamisato Ayaka to go to the New Year's Festival with her.
Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Linghua for a while, and I don’t know how she is doing.
He felt his sleeve being gently pulled, and when he turned around, he found that it was Columbia who was looking at him expectantly, "Codename Ueno Chiki, I'm going to the New Year's Festival too."
Seeing her pure and lovely appearance, even if Ueno Chishu had a heart of stone, he couldn't refuse, and nodded and agreed: "Well, we will go together then."
Then, after chatting with Xiao Gong for a while, he said goodbye to Columbia and left.
As they walked, Ueno Chiki felt a dull pain in his palms, and couldn't help but complain to Columbia, who was standing beside him without any guilt: "Are you born in the year of the dog? You bite people."
Columbia ignored his complaint and said as a matter of course: "Who asked you to cover my mouth?"
"If I don't cover your mouth, you're going to reveal your identity."
"Can't you let it slip? I can sense that girl likes you quite a bit."
Ueno Chiki really couldn't understand her logic. What was the connection between her identity being exposed and the fact that Xiao Gong liked him?
"It cannot be disclosed. The Fatui are not welcome in Inazuma, and you are an executive officer. Such an identity will cause trouble to others."
