"So I've decided to give you a proper test to see if you really are Hanabi!"
Bai Zhi revealed a wicked smile as she looked the black swan up and down.
How do I test it?
Although it had already gathered a considerable amount of power, the Black Swan still couldn't help but ask.
"No abnormalities can be detected on the surface of the body, but that doesn't mean there won't be any inside. I'm very familiar with Hanabi, so, dear Miss Black Swan, you might have to suffer this time!"
"What do you mean by 'no abnormalities can be detected on the surface of the body, and we need to test inside?'"
The black swan was taken aback, not realizing the meaning behind Bai Zhi's words.
"You're putting on quite a show. We've been through so many things together, dear Hanabi, have you forgotten?"
Bai Zhi grabbed Black Swan's other hand with her other hand, then whispered in Black Swan's ear, "Of course..."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's whisper in her ear, the black swan's pupils constricted, and her entire body immediately began to twist violently.
That verification method is absurd! And why does that Masked Fool also have this kind of relationship with Bai Zhi?!
Given Hanabi's playful nature, wouldn't it have been enough to just tease Baizhi?
Surely fireworks can't have also failed with angelica, right?
"You're too weak. Although my power hasn't been fully unleashed, as a noble dragon, my strength is not to be underestimated!"
Bai Zhi grabbed Black Swan's hands, pressed her against him, and slammed her onto the bed, pinning Black Swan beneath her.
"No, I can't afford to crash here!"
Feeling the iron grip of the hand and the fiery aura emanating from Bai Zhi that made people unconsciously feel hot, the Black Swan calmed down instead.
This scene is indeed dangerous, but compared to the terrifying situation Huang Quan was in, it hasn't reached a point of despair yet.
As a memory user, manipulating memories and memory matter is an innate ability.
Moreover, in this scenario, she was not facing a memory guardian like the memory star god Fu Li, who was completely irresistible, but Bai Zhi herself.
Bai Zhi is much easier to deal with than Xing Shen, right?
"Black Swan, calm down, calm down..."
As Bai Zhi began her exploration, the power of destiny and memories gathered by the Black Swan began to take effect. She transformed into a giant eagle, broke free from Bai Zhi's hands, smashed open the window of the room, and soared into the dreamlike immortal ship Luofu.
"interesting."
Bai Zhi tilted her head, her interest piqued. Her body shimmered with light, and she too transformed into a giant eagle, squeezing out of the window and heading towards the black swan that had taken to the sky.
"Almost there, the exit is over there!"
The black swan soared into the sky, and with her keen intuition, she sensed the exit of this dream space. So she flapped her wings and flew rapidly toward it.
"Don't even think about running away~"
Along with the sound, a huge dark shadow loomed over.
The black swan couldn't help but adjust its direction, only to discover that the huge black shadow was actually a falcon several times larger than itself.
Clearly, it was a being transformed from Bai Zhi, chasing after him.
Chapter 923 The Gift from the Star God
How could she have such an ability?
The black swan was filled with confusion; she knew that Bai Zhi could transform.
But as far as she knew, Bai Zhi could at most transform into a white dragon, which didn't seem strange to anyone. They just thought it was the power of her dragon bloodline, and that it was perfectly normal for Bai Zhi to have such an ability given her strength and talent.
Instead of becoming the falcon it is today.
These are two different concepts.
One is the true nature of awakened bloodline, and the other is a special ability to disguise and transform.
Just as the black swan was momentarily stunned, the enormous claws ruthlessly swooped down and firmly grasped her transformed falcon.
With a gentle squeeze of its claws, she was in so much pain that she instantly reverted to her original form. Along with her transformation, Bai Zhi also returned to her much larger appearance, and the claws that had just been holding the black swan turned into Bai Zhi's two hands.
"I told you, don't even think about running away."
"Not always!"
The black swan was not about to give up. Just as the two were about to land, she transformed again into a nimble cat, easily slipping out of Bai Zhi's grasp and leaping away into the distance.
"The more you try to escape, the harsher the punishment will be."
Bai Zhi watched the black swan flee and smiled with interest. But this time, instead of transforming into a larger cat, she transformed into her own enormous dragon body and then soared into the sky.
"Huh...huh..."
The small, purple cat leaped and bounded across the entire Luofu map. This time, the Black Swan sensed it again; there must be a weak point in this memory space nearby. As long as it reached that place, it could escape.
"As long as we can get there!!"
Looking at the somewhat blurry boundary, the black swan perked up and began to move its four short legs, trying to escape before any unknown dangers arrived.
When the black swan was only a few steps away from the boundary, it breathed a sigh of relief. It only needed to take a little more effort to avoid being pushed over by Bai Zhi.
Just as she was feeling confident, a huge dark shadow descended.
"boom!"
A cloud of smoke and a shockwave exploded in front of her.
"Sorry, this place is full."
As the smoke and dust cleared, Bai Zhi's enormous dragon body appeared before the black swan.
Upon seeing this, the black swan transformed into a snake and burrowed into the hidden underground passage.
However, what she didn't notice was that after she turned into a snake, a golden rope appeared behind her tail.
"what?"
Bai Zhi let out a soft "hmm," and then tried to whisper a few incantations.
As expected, the golden rope was activated immediately upon hearing the incantation, just as Bai Zhi had anticipated, and it turned around to bind the small snake that the black swan had transformed into tightly.
Then, the black swan transformed from a small snake back into its original form, and the golden rope appeared on her body simultaneously.
Bai Zhi found the way it was tied very familiar; it had a unique artistic feel characteristic of Japan.
The black swan struggled incessantly, but the rope was incredibly strong, and she even felt as if the power of her destiny was being blocked.
It's not that it can't be called, but rather that the number of calls is so small that it has virtually no effect on the current situation.
"Alright, warm-up's done. Now, let's get down to something really fun, right?"
Bai Zhi's fiery red eyes revealed specks of gold, as if molten gold were rippling within them.
Black Swan wanted to say something more to buy himself some time, but Bai Zhi somehow found a wad of cloth and stuffed it into the other's mouth.
Bai Zhi, like a mountain king, carried the black swan back to her room.
What followed was a long and arduous battle.
If we were to describe this battle using poetic imagery, it would probably be like this:
Golden pupils lock snow-capped peaks in their depths, flames swirl over peach blossom streams as spring returns three times.
Swan feathers scattered, silver scales in disarray, dragon saliva still burning, yet to return.
Sweat soaks through the silk gauze, dew settles on the lotus blossoms; her waist is etched with wrinkles from the wind-blown lotus.
The rosy clouds piled on the pillow collapsed into water, and the toes still dangled, refusing to fall.
"The camera, I think your little memory-taker is in for a rough time. Little Baizhi's memories aren't so easy to get. Poor thing, he's probably going to end up with nothing but those kinds of things on his head now."
In Bai Zhi's room, a figure made of crystal and a being wearing a clown mask suddenly appeared.
"Hey, hey, hey, why aren't you saying anything?"
The masked figure waved in front of the crystal figure.
The crystal figure ignored her and calmly reached out and tapped Bai Zhi's head.
Instantly, abundant memory essence and the power of destiny surged in, and then a faint purple figure emerged from it.
Bai Zhi turned over and frowned.
"A familiar ceiling... wait, why didn't I go to the Journey to the West world?"
Bai Zhi opened her eyes and looked around with some confusion. She was still in her own room at the Pill Cauldron Division.
Logically, after falling into a deep sleep, one's consciousness should be transported to the world of Journey to the West, but this time it seems that this did not happen.
Moreover... her previous dream seemed quite interesting. She actually saw a black swan in her dream that looked like Hanabi in disguise, and then, wanting to teach "Hanabi" a lesson, she played a little game with her.
However, in her dream, after playing the game countless times and exploring almost 100% of the map, she realized, based on her control skills, that the other party really wasn't Fireworks, but rather a Black Swan.
"That dream was so vivid, it's strange..."
Bai Zhi scratched her head. To be honest, that dream was quite exciting. If possible, she would like to experience it again.
Bai Zhi sat up, and a reflection caught her attention.
On his desk, a very elegant-looking mirror had appeared out of nowhere.
She was quite certain that the mirror hadn't been there before she went to sleep.
Somewhat curious, I picked up the mirror, and a system notification immediately popped up.
[Ding! Resonance triggered with the Mirror of Flowing Light, unlocking the method to advance the Rat Talisman]
"The Mirror of Flowing Light??"
Bai Zhi stared in astonishment at the strange mirror that didn't reflect her image but instead seemed to show a distant landscape.
In the mirror, a little girl with pink hair seems to be squatting in front of a foxtail grass, reaching out her hand expectantly.
But the next moment, after the little girl's hand touched the foxtail grass, the once vibrant foxtail grass immediately withered, and the little girl's expression changed from expectant to looking like she was about to cry.
"This is……"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked at the system description.
【Mirror of Flowing Light: A mirror reflecting memories. By combining it with the power of talismans, one can travel upstream along the river of memories】
Chapter 924 The past reappears
"The Mirror of Flowing Light?"
Bai Zhi touched her chin. This thing seemed to be some kind of strange object related to memory.
Curious, she touched the mirror and found that the image on it had changed again.
Surprisingly, a scene of the small black tower appeared in this scene.
In the scene, Little Black Tower is looking at a group of people with disdain, pointing his finger far ahead, seemingly gesturing arrogantly.
"Huh, this... doesn't seem to be the Little Black Tower doll?"
Bai Zhi carefully examined the scene. Although the figures in it were almost identical to the Little Black Tower doll, it was obvious that the doll did not have any mechanical joint features.
She pondered for a moment and found the trick in the system's description of the item: the Mirror of Memory, combined with the power of talismans, allows one to follow the river of memories upstream.
This strange object probably displays past memories.
She didn't recognize the pink-haired little girl from before, but this image of the little black tower might be the real Black Tower, the past of this genius from the Genius Club.
As far as she knew, Black Tower had been a very talented genius since he was a very young age.
That scene of unbridled ambition might just be a reflection of the past.
"System, you said this thing is related to the advancement of my Rat Talisman, but how exactly is it related?"
The Mirror of Radiance will reveal past memories. Combined with the power of the talisman, you will be able to travel upstream in the river of time, going back to the past in an alternative way. In the past, you will gain points to unlock the Rat Talisman.
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. She roughly understood what the system meant; it was simply about traveling through time and leaving one's mark in the past.
However, she felt that this ability should not come from memories, but was more suitable for the final destiny, which is related to time.
"What kind of eccentricity is this?"
