They continued forward.
Under Tingyun's frustration, Qingque outputted extremely satisfyingly.
Even with two beasts slacking off, the group of four still pushed all the way to the gate of the Divination Commission.
"Bang bang bang——!!"
Zeig knocked on the big door in front and turned back to shout at Qingque:
"What do we do if this door is locked?"
"?"
"Can't be, right?"
Qingque stepped forward and touched the door.
"Don't understand. The door really is locked. It was never locked before… and no one reminded me to bring the key either."
"Why don't you call and ask?" March 7th suggested.
"I'll try."
The three watched with wide eyes as Qingque took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Beep beep beep——"
"…"
In the end, Qingque awkwardly put the phone down:
"…Didn't get through."
Zeig reminded her:
"Could it be because there are too many monsters here that they locked the door, just to prevent these guys from getting in?"
Qingque pursed her lips, somewhat uncertain:
"Can't be? Then the Master Diviner is way too cowardly. These guys—even I could brush through them all the way. It's a bit much to go that far."
Immediately after, she turned around again and "bang bang bang" knocked on the door, shouting at the top of her lungs:
"Hey hey hey! Even if the cafeteria food is terrible! You can't treat the guests to a closed-door meal, right?!"
Seeing no reaction from inside.
She continued shouting loudly:
"I don't have any money on me... Even my underwear was outputted. Let me go back first to get some clothes, okay?!"
Seeing Qingque in this state, Tingyun spoke up:
"In this humble girl's view, the Master Diviner is probably angry. After all, Qingque sister ignored her messages for an entire night."
"Ah." Qingque scratched her head:
"Isn't it just because I was playing cards and didn't reply to messages. So petty."
She wrapped the black coat tighter around herself and shivered as she said:
"Why do I keep feeling like it's gloomy here. Brother Zeig, you're dressed so coolly—aren't you cold?"
"Ah?"
At this moment, Zeig was wearing Qingque's clothes and felt extremely cool.
"I don't feel anything. On the contrary... I'm getting more and more excited."
"?" March 7th glanced at him puzzled:
"Excited about what?"
"Look. The enemies we just killed—don't they look like the zombies in zombie movies? Now the door is tightly closed and the phone can't get through either."
Zeig stood with his hands behind his back. His twin tails fluttered and rose and fell in the cold wind:
"Clearly Fu Xuan is GG. Maybe in some corner she's being bullied by Mara-Struck pressing down on her head."
As soon as these words came out, March 7th looked toward the fallen guys behind them.
Voidrangers aside, the rift creatures were old faces.
March 7th's attention was placed on the Mara-Struck soldiers.
Speaking of which, these guys covered all over in maple leaves—they were all normal people before, right?
Now they had turned into this appearance. It really did resemble zombie movies somewhat.
"Then what do we do??"
March 7th's delicate brows slightly furrowed:
"Clearly it was Fu Xuan who called us over. Now the door is closed and we can't contact anyone either. Next, don't tell me we just go back?"
Qingque also frowned:
"It really is a bit strange."
"There's also another possibility." March 7th widened her pinkish-blue eyes and quietly said to Qingque:
"That is—you got fired."
Qingque sniffled, somewhat dumbfounded:
"No reason. I was already demoted to manage the library. What more does the old lady want?"
"But... no need to panic!"
Qingque waved her big hand and pointed in a direction:
"The Divination Commission doesn't only have this one door. I know a place that can be used for emergency entry and exit!"
"You Divination Commission even has a dog hole? So advanced!" Zeig was extremely delighted.
"What dog hole. That's my usual grand avenue for slacking off!"
Qingque led the group to a small door at the corner.
This door was much smaller than the big door just now—by more than a little—but it could still let people through.
"Look, it's right here!"
Qingque kindly introduced it to the three:
"Those who work at the Divination Commission all call this door the Carefree Gate. Usually when we're idle with nothing to do, we often escape from here and freely enjoy ourselves outside for a few hours!"
"Seriously, not designing this door as a dog hole is really a waste." March 7th roasted.
"..." Qingque lightly coughed twice:
"Cough cough... Don't mention dog hole again. Let's hurry and get on our way."
Qingque stepped forward two steps and stood in front of the mechanism beside the door, beginning to fiddle with it.
"Huh...?" She made a puzzled sound.
March 7th frowned and said:
"Don't tell me this doesn't work either?"
Qingque immediately became somewhat embarrassed:
"Bad. This door also won't open."
"You really sure you weren't fired?"
The three waited a few minutes. Seeing Qingque still stubbornly fiddling with it, Tingyun finally sighed and said:
"Qingque sister... How about you let me check it."
Qingque: "Eh? This… not good?"
Tingyun: "Then did you figure anything out?"
Qingque: "No... You come. I was just being polite with you."
Tingyun: "…"
The three watched as Tingyun stood in front of the mechanism. She roughly fiddled with it for about five seconds.
"Click——!!"
The tightly closed small door slowly opened.
"..." "..."
Zeig and March 7th cast disdainful gazes at Qingque.
"Haha... This this." Qingque was so embarrassed she almost dug a crack in the ground with her toes:
"Hey, Tingyun you're really amazing! You actually easily took down this door. I officially transfer the title of Carefree Gate Keeper of the Divination Commission to you!"
"Then thank you very much."
"You're welcome!"
Qingque brought the three through the small door and continued forward.
A large group of Mara-Struck soldiers turned their heads and silently stared at them.
"…"
Just as Qingque was about to call Tingyun again to come in front and block monsters for her.
A sound of something breaking through the air came from the sky.
"?"
Qingque heard the sound and looked up.
Several huge mechs, with thrusters behind them spraying blue flames, were charging toward here.
"Ah? How are there mechs inside the realm?!"
"I didn't find the entrance to this realm before. Now I know."
Zeig stood with arms crossed, full of confidence, and said:
"From now on, the Divination Commission is my private plaza!"
Qingque widened her eyes and stared at Zeig in disbelief:
"No way—isn't the number in the sky a bit too many? The Master Diviner wouldn't agree to you deploying this scale of army into the Divination Commission!"
"I'm just eager to save people."
Zeig said with grief and indignation:
"Look—can you contact her now? Maybe your Master Diviner is currently being bullied by Mara-Struck pressing down on her head, who knows!"
While the two were talking, the flying mechs one by one successively landed on the ground of the Divination Commission, emitting dull booming sounds.
Immediately after, white portals also appeared.
"Bang bang bang bang bang——!!" Large numbers of Titan robots marched out from inside in solemn and orderly formation.
Qingque couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
