Buzz, what?

Didn’t the maid change the quilt and bed sheets before? Did she accidentally leave something while cleaning?

Joshua didn't think much about it, so he lifted the quilt up. Anyway, Firefly is still asleep and is wearing clothes. In addition, there is really nothing worth looking at, so the warrior doesn't look sideways and looks directly at the place where the buzzing sound comes.

Joshua's vision is not top-notch in this world, but also first-class. Just by catching the naked eye, he achieved an energy visual effect. When he looked at it intently, he easily discovered the source of the buzzing sound.

Before the girl fell asleep, her magic was condensed with a long women's military dress. This kind of clothes had two pockets on her waist for placing small things. At this time, something seemed to be trembling in the pocket on the right side of the firefly, and the frequency was very high.

Joshua simply reached out and touched his hand into his pocket and grabbed the thing.

"I feel like I've suddenly become a very bad person."

The warrior shrugged and thought about it carefully. Whether it was lifting the girl's quilt or taking out the little things in her close pocket while the girl was sleeping, it was indeed a very bad thing.

He took out this unknown object that was constantly shaking from Firefly's pocket, but strangely, the high-frequency vibrating thing stopped trembling when it touched Joshua's finger. At the same time, the warrior also felt a strange force suddenly appear, wandering in his palm, as if he wanted to enter his body.

“…what.”

The fighting spirit ignited in his hand to isolate the strange power, and Joshua looked down at the palm of his hand.

It was a translucent polyhedral crystal, with black and red light flowing in the crystals as big as a thumb, and a slight light flashing along countless small slices, like stars.

"Such a beautiful gem? Where did the firefly get it?"

He said to himself in confusion, the warrior held the gem in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully: "The quality is also very high, both in the cut and crystal quality are above the level... But where did it come from?"

The girl of Shenji has been following him on weekdays and has almost no time to act alone. Where can I get the time to buy or get gems of this level? And just now, an inexplicable force came from this crystal. What was going on?

"interesting."

Squinted his eyes, Joshua couldn't help but have an association in his heart.

——Is Firefly's coma related to this gem?

Although it sounds nonsense, it is indeed one of the possible reasons, and since it is possible, he will not let it go.

So a low voice rang.

"System, identification."

Suddenly, countless blue and blue data streams flashed before his eyes, and finally condensed into a report.

[…In the identification of items…the mineral knowledge is successful, the ancient knowledge is failed, and the strange thing knowledge is failed.]

[Identification Report: Infected Steel Crystals·Ancient Strange Things]

[Mineral: The power of steel is one of the basis of material existence. It combines with other energy in the world to form all things that sentient beings see today. Except for some pure spirit and energy life, the body of any life contains the power of steel. At some strange moments, such as when the world was created and when the world was on the verge of destruction, the most basic power of steel will condense into the crystals of entity scattered everywhere. It may form any form, but it appears most of the time in the form of gems. The crystals of steel are one of the important raw materials for forging legendary equipment above the level, and weapons forged by it will have various incredible abilities.]

[Ancient: This steel crystal has existed for more than 1,300 years.]

[Strange thing: This steel crystal comes from another world and is infected by some kind of force. If you touch it, you may have some sequelae.]

【Comprehensive: A rare ore from another world is extremely cherished, but it comes with some strange power. It needs to be carefully considered before using it.】

"It's actually the crystallization of steel?"

Frowning, Joshua murmured, and he looked at the black and red crystal in his hand for several times: "I haven't seen this thing before, but isn't the steel crystal a silver-gray gem? Why is it red and black now?"

The reason for the unknown power is immersed? It is possible.

"Although fireflies are usually human-shaped, they are ultimately divine machines and weapons..." Joshua thought about the information revealed in these appraisal reports: "She came into contact with this steel crystal, and she was definitely affected more than humans."

Maybe the firefly has been sleeping until now because of the strange power brought by this steel crystal, and it can also explain some of the information mentioned by Kleel and Nostradamus, such as the stagnant power of steel, the inexplicable chaotic aura.

After thinking for a while, Joshua turned his head to look at the silver-haired girl on the bed. Firefly is now sleeping peacefully and breathing smoothly, and there is no bad situation.

If everything was the same as he thought, then there was no doubt that the inexplicable power was the main cause.

"We should try what the consequences of this power will bring."

The warrior's idea was not a reckless one, but a choice after careful consideration.

"My resistance is stronger than fireflies, and if it doesn't work, I can also start the bad state of the gods descending to earth to expel them, and there will be no accidents."

Thinking of this, he let go of the shielding of the crystal in his hand by the Dou Qi, allowing the power contained in it to touch his body.

——Then, Joshua's vision fell into chaos.

...

Fog, and darkness.

When Joshua broke free from the guidance of the inexplicable power with his steely will, he opened his eyes and saw this scene.

The deserted hills covered with gray-black rocks, the huge rocks vaguely visible in the fog, the dry and dry earth, the crystal jungle covered with shadows are rugged, and in the extremely dark and cloudy sky, there is only a little light from the sun.

After taking a breath of decaying air, the warrior felt it, and his surroundings were filled with the power of stagnant steel that made him extremely familiar but extremely uncomfortable.

A strange atmosphere spread silently. Joshua looked around seriously, but found nothing. Although the mist mixed with thick black particles could not block his entire field of view, it could block all the information brought from afar. The darkness seemed to move and was slowly gathering towards the warriors.

Where is this?

Boom!

Just as this thought flashed through Joshua's mind, a sudden thunder sounded.

——This is the dead land where no one survives, the wasteland where all things are destroyed, this is the doomsday world where light disappears, flames extinguish, and sinks into the abyss of bottomless chaos.

A strange voice seemed to be vaguely answering his question at the same time, but it was not noticed by the warriors.

Accompanied by thunder, light shone on the gray sky, and the dim lightning released some light. Countless translucent particles that seemed to be rain fell from the sky, waving away the fog.

Extending his hand and taking a translucent particle, Joshua found that this object that seemed to be ice and crystal brought an extremely chill, but it would not melt. He threw the particle on the ground, then raised his head and looked into the distance.

As the gray-black fog around him was driven away by the crystal rain, the warrior's vision suddenly widened a lot. At the hills at the end of his sight, at least ten kilometers away, there was an ancient and huge ruins of the temple.

The gates of the temple were completely open and the walls collapsed nearly half. I don’t know how long the sanctuary was covered with dust and crystals.

A shadow flashed.

“It seems like someone is active?”

Because it was too far away, even Joshua couldn't determine whether what he saw just now was an illusion. He frowned and looked around: "Although I don't know why I came to this place, I'll take a look first."

After determining the path you should walk halfway, the soldiers began to set off.

The thunder stopped, and the crystallized rain gradually weakened, and the gray-black mist once again emerged from the depths of the earth, covering the surroundings.

Time passes.

Woo--

A whistle that could penetrate the sky sounded in the distance, and then passed to Joshua, who was walking through the darkness through the path of his memory of middle-aged life. This made the warrior stunned, but then, the sound of a huge object moving overshadowed the sound of the whistle, which was like a machine running and gear biting.

"Boom!"

Another thunder flash illuminated the gray fog, allowing Joshua to see the inside of the temple that was already very close.

This time the warrior was sure that there was indeed a figure wandering in the middle age of the ruins of the temple.

It seemed that he had noticed something outside. The figure walked out from the inside of the temple. After the ancient door of the temple was opened, silver hair seemed to flash by.

Seeing this scene, Joshua was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Flower?"

Then, the warrior's will returned to awakening.

As if he woke up from a dream, Joshua's eyes were a little confused at first, but then he immediately returned to Qingming. He immediately used his fighting spirit to wrap the steel crystal in his hand and isolate the invasion of the power.

"…Is it an illusion just now?"

Joshua, who was sure that his body was still sitting next to the bed of Firefly, did not even move at all, eliminated the possibility of his body traveling through this, and he was thinking about his previous experience as if he was dreamy.

Not an illusion.

The warrior looked at the palm of his left hand. The decaying and uncomfortable smell of the air and the cold temperature of the crystal rain made him remember it deeply. This was definitely not something that the hallucinations could do. He whispered to himself: "Is the shadow just now a firefly?"

She also fell into that dream?

Standing silently, Joshua lowered his head and looked at Ying's beautiful face that was sleeping deeply.

This is the truth that the firefly has been awake for a long time?

"It seems that things are more complicated than I thought... I can only try if the method Nostradamus said is useful."

——The next day.

Cemetery in the west of the city, in the church.

In a black military dress, Joshua stood in the study of the cemetery church. He stepped on the black granite floor and looked at the fluorite fragments shining with golden light on the ceiling, then walked towards the special floor with a gap.

Without any hesitation, he pressed his hand on it.

The magic pattern flashed, and a low and rigid machine sounded.

"Energy detection...the frequency band meets the target: Joshua van Radcliffe, family head, highest authority, the door opens."

"From fire, born from steel, wisdom is immortal and order lasts forever."

With the ancient praises, the black rock slowly opened and a narrow passage leading to the underground revealed.

And Joshua walked into it without hesitation.
