Solon was well aware of the formidable reputation of the Divination Commission's Great Deduction Array.
At its core, this device was essentially a supercomputer capable of predicting all possible futures through big data analysis, euphemistically called "divination."
Using such a computationally terrifying supercomputer as a lie detector was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
There was no way Solon would obediently accompany her to the Divination Commission.
Qingque's persistent pestering had already stirred his murderous intent.
The girl continued chattering beside him.
"Listen, don't even think about running or silencing me permanently. I've set up timed emails in my account—if I don't perform certain operations within the set time, the system will automatically send emails to Master Diviner Fu Xuan! Then..."
Qingque suddenly froze mid-sentence.
She found her entire body paralyzed as if frozen, her mouth and tongue numb, only able to produce strange "Abah... abah..." sounds.
Solon casually withdrew his hand from hers.
"Didn't your teacher warn you never to casually touch a poison master's body?"
'What teacher?! Poison masters only exist in novels!'
Qingque screamed internally while her mouth continued its "abah abah" sounds.
Solon began circling Qingque, contemplating whether to eliminate her permanently.
He quickly dismissed the idea.
Despite Fu Xuan's constant complaints about Qingque, the Diviner actually valued her highly. If Qingque disappeared, Fu Xuan would definitely investigate, and the Deduction Array would expose Solon immediately.
With such a cheat-like device, committing crimes undetected on the Xianzhou was nearly impossible.
Since killing wasn't an option, he'd have to silence her another way.
After brief consideration, Solon suddenly reached out and lightly patted Qingque's shoulder, toxins immediately entering her system.
Qingque soon regained speech and movement, quickly scrambling away from Solon in alarm.
"What did you just do to me?!"
But moments later, an unbearable itch spread from where Solon had touched her shoulder, soon permeating her internal organs.
She scratched frantically but couldn't relieve the deep-seated itch, nearly driven to tears.
"Aiyo~! Aiyo~! It's so itchy I could die!"
As the toxins spread, the unbearable itching intensified, leaving Qingque writhing on the ground, howling and rolling in agony.
Overcome by the torment, she grabbed Solon's pant leg, begging:
"Big bro! Boss! I was wrong! Please spare me! I'll never do it again!"
Solon wasn't surprised by her reaction—this visceral, overwhelming itch was something neither tough men nor strong women could endure.
He casually snapped his fingers.
The poison's effects immediately stopped—though only temporarily.
Pat! Pat!
Solon insolently patted Qingque's cheek, the demeaning gesture dripping with contempt.
"As long as you keep quiet and behave, the poison won't activate. Otherwise... you know the consequences!"
Qingque swallowed her anger, hastily promising: "Boss, I swear I'll keep my mouth shut!"
Having neutralized the Qingque threat, Solon left the alley satisfied.
Left behind, Qingque clapped her hands to her face in regret.
"Sticking your nose where it doesn't belong! Had to investigate this murderous star! Now look what happened!"
Thirty minutes later, Solon returned to his residence.
The empty rooms only contained scattered clothes from yesterday's "battle."
"Clean this place up."
At his command, several cleaning robots emerged, meticulously tidying the residence.
They collected the discarded garments for laundry, thoroughly sanitized every surface, then delicately sprayed air freshener.
Soon the entire estate looked brand new.
Solon collapsed onto the sofa, striking the classic "Ge You slouch."
Currently, his poisons worked excellently against weaker opponents.
But he wondered how effective they'd be against Emanators.
Probably significantly reduced—most Emanators received such divine enhancements from their Aeons that their physiology approached another dimensional level (except summoners like Jing Yuan).
Qingque's visit today served as another warning: with each simulation, he accumulated more enemies among Xianzhou's women—he couldn't stay here much longer.
The system clearly stated that while on the Luofu, scenario characters would predominantly involve Luofu personnel.
This damn system was practically forcing him to roam the cosmos!
If absolutely necessary, when the main "story" began, he'd find a way aboard the Astral Express.
But that was truly a last resort.
In the "storyline," wherever the Astral Express went, disaster followed—they were practically walking cataclysms.
This completely contradicted his survival-focused, stable lifestyle.
Unless absolutely forced, he'd avoid boarding that train.
Overthinking unsolvable problems only bred more distress.
Ultimately, his current weakness prevented true freedom.
Dismissing these thoughts, Solon opened his system interface to draw a new scenario.
The familiar gacha animation played, revealing a card depicting two embracing girls.
One had short brown-black hair with sharp crimson eyes, dressed in assassin's garb resembling ancient killwear.
The other had ashen blue-gray hair with listless gray eyes, wearing black bodysuit beneath a dark green short robe, holding an elongated calligraphy brush exuding scholarly refinement.
The intimate embrace seemed to conjure phantom white flowers blooming between them...
Solon stroked his chin thoughtfully.
He immediately recognized Xueyi and Hanya, but the unprecedented dual characters suggested something different this time.
His suspicion was soon confirmed.
[Host has drawn a special crossover scenario!]
[Special crossover scenarios feature multiple main characters, increased difficulty, and enhanced rewards. Choose carefully.]
If he remembered correctly, Xueyi and Hanya—like Jingliu—were survivors of the Cangcheng disaster.
According to in-game lore, both sisters had served the Ten-Lords Commission even before Cangcheng's fall.
