If it were just simple Cryo elemental freezing, naturally it wouldn't be enough to control Zhongli, but if there's also eerie power involved, then that's a completely different matter...
Faced with this situation, Zhongli furrowed his brows...
This kind of utterly unreasonable, purely powerful control ability made any martial skill or technique seem like a joke...
"Qiqi" held her one-handed sword and slowly walked toward Zhongli, but her speed seemed to have slowed down again...
"Even though Qiqi's been moving, Qiqi joints and muscles are still stiffening, huh..."
"As expected, the effect of the soft gymnastics is still the best..."
"One two Qiqi... two two Qiqi..."
Qiqi said this as she continued doing her soft gymnastics...
Su Yuan and Baizhu watched this with concern...
Their timing coming into this room was indeed a bit unfortunate — it happened right when Qiqi was using eerie power to freeze the entire room...
So, Su Yuan and Baizhu were also suppressed and unable to move by Qiqi's freezing combined with eerie power...
At this moment, Qiqi was doing her soft gymnastics, keeping herself controlled and distracted, unable to pay attention to anything else.
But no one could seize this opportunity to sneak behind her, hug her, and say words like "I like you the most" to break her eerie state...
But fortune favors the bold—in that moment, a voice came from outside the door: Tartaglia called out,
"Su Yuan! Zhongli! Are you okay???"
"The zombies outside have already been dealt with by me and Director Hu!"
"To be safe, Director Hu is still guarding outside, so I came in first!"
Upon entering the room, Tartaglia saw Zhongli, Su Yuan, and Baizhu all suppressed and unable to move, and Qiqi still doing her soft gymnastics...
"Tartaglia, now's the time!!!"
Su Yuan immediately shouted to Tartaglia,
"You're the only one who can do this right now!!!"
"Hurry and run behind Qiqi, hug her from behind!!!"
"And then say to her: 'Qiqi, I like you the most!!!'"
Tartaglia looked at Su Yuan with a completely confused expression.
Although he didn't understand the situation, seeing Su Yuan's serious and anxious face, Tartaglia didn't hesitate to activate his Foul Legacy armor and swiftly dashed behind Qiqi.
Then, Tartaglia, clad in his Foul Legacy armor, directly hugged Qiqi from behind and shouted:
"Qiqi, you're like my dear little sister, I really like you so much…"
However, before Tartaglia could finish speaking, Su Yuan saw that Qiqi's hands were wrapped in eerie energy.
She suddenly countered with a swift motion, stabbing straight through Tartaglia's chest.
"Even though you say that with your mouth, I can feel that you don't truly like me at all…"
Qiqi spoke slowly:
"So, I don't like you either…"
Su Yuan was shocked, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Could it be that his previous guess was wrong?
Qiqi's eerie transformation wasn't caused by the "edict" at all…
Or maybe the method Baizhu suggested to lift the edict actually has no effect at all?
Or perhaps the reason and the lift method are both correct, but Tartaglia spoke too slowly, which allowed Qiqi to react and attack Tartaglia before the edict was lifted?
That shouldn't be the case.
Even with the eerie power enhancing her, Qiqi's reflexes shouldn't be that fast...
Qiqi slowly pulled her hand out of Tartaglia's chest, and blood immediately gushed out, staining the entire floor red...
Then, Tartaglia's Foul Legacy armor instantly dispersed.
He collapsed into the pool of blood, twitched twice, and then stopped moving...
Su Yuan couldn't believe it.
He looked at the scene in front of him with great pain and guilt...
Was it his blind command that caused Tartaglia's death...?
Why... why did this happen?
"Su Yuan... this is all my fault..."
Baizhu suddenly spoke up from the side:
"I just remembered—there's an important point about the method to lift Qiqi's edict that I didn't tell you earlier…"
"To lift Qiqi's edict using this method, it must be filled with genuine heartfelt emotions…"
"When I tried this on Qiqi before, it didn't always succeed…"
"If there's no real sincerity—just empty words—the effect will be greatly diminished…"
"Damn it… Could it be that I was so confused after being unconscious for so long?"
"How could I forget to tell you something so important?"
"If Changsheng were still here to help me take care of my body, I definitely wouldn't have made such a basic mistake…"
"It's my fault… It's my fault that Mr. Tartaglia died…"
While Baizhu was blaming himself, Qiqi finished another set of stretching exercises, restoring her body's flexibility, then continued walking toward Zhongli with her sword in hand…
Su Yuan looked at all this with despair—could it really end here again this time?
It turns out to resolve Qiqi's eerie state is not so simple after all…
Even Baizhu, who spends every day with Qiqi, couldn't guarantee that this method would lift Qiqi's edict in one go and bring her back from the eerie state to normal…
And now, Qiqi no longer has that perfect timing when she does her stretching exercises.
Approaching her now would very likely result in being attacked by her…
After this death rewind, they must come back to this room a bit later—only after Qiqi has controlled Zhongli…
Then let Baizhu go in—using the time when Qiqi does her stretching exercises, Baizhu can sneak up behind her, hold her from behind, say words of affection, and resolve Qiqi's eerie transformation…
Although Baizhu still can't guarantee 100% success, the chances are definitely much higher than anyone unrelated…
Su Yuan had originally thought to use the remaining 1.3 times of the death rewind to investigate the situation of Cloud Retainer, but now it seems he can only leave it here…
Qiqi slowly approached Zhongli, but as she walked, her steps suddenly stopped...
Because a figure appeared at the doorway of the room...
Qiqi looked very solemn, even a little fearful as she stared at the figure.
Not only did she stop moving forward, but she also began to slowly retreat...
Su Yuan and Baizhu were very surprised by this scene.
They shifted their gaze toward the doorway—and it was Hu Tao who had arrived here...
