Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

"Perhaps, the person we met at the beginning was not Him." Shi Qi added.

When Leo heard Shi Qi's words, his expression changed slightly. He frowned and said, "Then aren't we always dealing with someone who may be controlled? Qiluo seems to be quite friendly to us. Is all this a disguise?" There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

Lin Yi replied: "How is she friendly to us? She didn't even pretend to be friendly from the beginning!"

Leo said: "It seems, probably, possibly, that's right, we bumped into her at the beginning, and her attitude was very ordinary at the beginning."

Shi Qi looked at us with a hint of deep meaning, and said, "Leo, don't worry. Although Qiluo's attitude is cold, her actions and choices show that she is not completely controlled by the 'Guardian Alliance'. She chose to believe us and was even willing to let us purify the crystal, which shows that she still has a sense of resistance in her heart. As for whether she has been completely influenced, we don't know yet, but we can find the answer from the crystal."

Lin Yi scratched his head and said helplessly: "Okay, then let's study this crystal now to see if we can find any clues."

Shi Qi nodded, placed the crystal on a flat stone, and then took out some special instruments from the main god space that could sense and analyze the energy fluctuations of the crystal.

"These instruments can help us better understand the power of crystals, and perhaps find traces left by the 'Guardian Alliance.'" Shi Qi said, her fingers gently touching the instrument and began to operate it.

Lin Yi and Leo stood aside, watching Shi Qi's actions curiously. Leo asked, "Can these instruments really analyze the secrets of crystals?"

Shi Qi said: "Of course... No. The instrument mainly plays a supporting role, the key still depends on me."

As soon as Shi Qi finished speaking, a strange light suddenly flashed on the instrument, as if it had some kind of reaction to the crystal. She frowned slightly and observed the changes in the instrument's readings intently.

"Looks like there's hope." Shi Qi whispered to himself, then adjusted several parameters. The light emitted by the instrument gradually stabilized, showing some complex energy spectra.

Lin Yi moved closer, trying to understand the complicated patterns: "What is this? It looks like some kind of code?"

"No, it's more like the trajectory of energy flow." Shi Qi explained, "These maps show the distribution and flow direction of energy inside the crystal. From them, we can infer how the 'Guardian Alliance' exerts influence on the crystal."

Leo also joined the discussion: "Can we find a way to release the control from these maps?"

Shi Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "In theory, it is possible, but it takes time and analysis. Moreover, we cannot be sure whether Qiluo is controlled in the same way. If her consciousness is deeply bound to the crystal, forcibly removing it may cause harm to her."

Lin Yi scratched his head: "This is really troublesome. What should we do now?"

Shi Qi replied: "Look for the way of heaven."

Lin Yida said: "How can we find her? We haven't seen her in such a long time since we came here. Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen."

Shi Qi pondered for a while and said, "Perhaps, we were going in the wrong direction before. The Heavenly Dao may not be in this space, or it may exist in a way that we cannot understand. But one thing is certain, there must be some connection between Qiluo and this crystal and the Guardian Alliance, and this connection may guide us to find the Heavenly Dao."

Leo nodded and agreed: "Yes, Qiluo is the key. Since she is willing to cooperate with us, we should make full use of this and get more information about the Heavenly Dao from her."

Shi Qi looked at Leo: "Leo, you are responsible for continuing to study the crystals here and try to interpret those energy maps to see if you can find more clues. Lin Yi and I will go to find Qi Luo to learn more about her situation and her connection with Tiandao."

Although Leo was somewhat reluctant to stay alone, he also knew that this was the best way to divide the work at the moment, so he nodded: "Okay, be careful."

Shi Qi and Lin Yi left the place where they were studying crystals and, based on their previous guesses, came to the area where Qi Luo might appear.

Lin Yi looked at the busy streets in front of him and asked, "Will He appear?"

Shi Qi glanced at the bustling crowd and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily, but there is a high probability. I created such a good opportunity for Him. If he misses it, it will be gone."

Shi Qi and Lin Yi were strolling on the street, seemingly casually, but in fact their eyes were sharp, always paying attention to the movements around them.

On both sides of the street, various stalls and pedestrians interweave into a bustling scene, but in this hustle and bustle, Shi Qi can feel an unusual atmosphere, as if some power is secretly watching.

"Lin Yi, have you noticed that the atmosphere here is a little wrong?" Shi Qi whispered to Lin Yi, with a hint of alertness in her tone.

Lin Yi looked around and frowned, "It's a bit strange. I feel like there's something hidden in everyone's eyes, but I can't put my finger on it."

At this moment, a figure wearing a black cloak slowly walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards Shi Qi and Lin Yi. The hood of the cloak covered the man's face, and only a pair of eyes that flickered with a faint light could be vaguely seen.

"Are you looking for me?" A low and somewhat familiar voice sounded.

Lin Yi asked: "Who are you?"

The figure smiled gently, and the voice under the cloak revealed an inexplicable majesty and depth: "I am the messenger of the 'Heavenly Way' that you have been looking for. In other words, I am the embodiment of the will of this space."

Shi Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly calculated the other party's identity and purpose in his mind, but on the surface he remained calm: "Messenger? How do you prove your identity?"

The figure under the cloak seemed to have anticipated her question and slowly stretched out his hand with his palm facing up. As he moved, the space around him seemed to tremble slightly. Visible light gathered from his palm and gradually condensed into a complex and exquisite token. The token emitted a faint fluorescence and exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.

“This is the seal of space. Only the existence that truly masters the will of this space can condense it. Although I am not the Heavenly Dao itself, I carry its will and power.” The messenger explained, with unquestionable confidence in his tone.

Shi Qi carefully observed the rune, and quickly analyzed its authenticity in her mind. After a moment, she nodded slowly and asked, "Okay, I'm curious about one thing. Why do you think we are looking for you?"
