Views:

Dong Zheng turned out five or six cards from Cui Zuojing's sleeve.

"Where on earth did you find my secret?" Cui Zuojing turned over slowly, his hands resting on the bed that was full of cards by the two of them, not knowing why.

His thousand skills were personally taught by Chi Li and Nana. Although he was not as good as her, he should not be exposed in front of Dong Zheng, whose dynamic vision and other senses have not been improved.

"You don't want me to ask questions at all, so you are always trying to win. If I can't even see this, it will be broken." Dong Zheng pulled the chair and sat directly opposite Cui Zuojing, with a smile in his eyes I mean, "You lied to me with so many questions, I won't investigate them one by one, I'll just let you answer me two."

It's time to come, Cui Zuojing sighed helplessly to himself, and said, "Okay, you ask."

"In the labyrinth of time, who is the person who left that light in my body?"

Seeing Cui Zuojing open his mouth to answer, Dong Zheng added: "Don't lie to me, I know you must know, you, Victor, and Fu Zhe all know who that person is."

Cui Zuojing: "..."

Cui Zuojing: "I thought you would ask who the old friend I met was."

Dong Zheng: "That's the second question."

The young man was silent for a long time, then he breathed out helplessly, and said, "Okay, then I will talk about two questions together, I do know the person who manipulated your body, her name is Chang Hui, I still remember Wen Baoshan mentioning it in the secret realm. Yes, the girl who gave him two pots of flowers at the end of his life? That's her."

"She claims to be a devil from another country. She follows the taste of desire and walks around the pure white world, making deals with those who have an urgent desire in her heart to maintain her life. Every time she appears, it will be accompanied by cold rain."

"Apart from the ability to trade, Chang Hui is very weak, so she always carries a beast around her to protect her, seven eyes and three tails, called Duofei."

No wonder Cui Zuojing was so cold when he came back from the rain, and Dong Zheng digested the information silently. Cui Zuojing opened his mouth and felt that there was nothing to hide. Anyway, Dong Zheng would know sooner or later, so he simply told the rest.

"She is one of the Queen's subordinates. As the controller of the pure white world, the Queen has five heirs, namely "The Mystery of Worms", Midnight Cat, Chang Hui, Kether, and Tang Ji."

Dong Zheng keenly heard the familiar word kether: "When you were still in Hameln, you said that the scripts of all boxes were calculated and derived by kether in real time?"

Cui Zuojing didn't expect that he casually mentioned Dong Zheng and remembered it until now, he said, "It's a supercomputer, and the word kether means the crown at the top of the Kabbalah tree of life. In the following pilgrimage, you will come into contact with arrived."

The amount of information was too much, knowing that Dong Zheng couldn't digest it all in a while, Cui Zuojing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you've only been in for more than a month now, and only after three formal boxes have you started. With the deepening of the pilgrimage, the truth of this world will be revealed to you little by little, and the feeling of exploring it yourself is much more shocking than what I am telling you now."

"I just don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark about everything."

"No one likes this feeling. I also slowly figured it out back then."

Cui Zuojing jumped off the bed, "I've answered your question, is there anything else? If not, I'll go and rest for a while."

"It's alright." Dong Zheng paused, but still said what was in his heart, "After you go back, take a bath with hot water, I think you're going to catch a cold."

"understood."

The door closed, and the boy's voice was gone, and the room was quiet again. Dong Zheng closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows, and the touch and temperature of Cui Zuojing's skin seemed to remain on his fingertips.

Stop thinking about it.

Not everyone is like you.

He showed a mocking smile to himself: with those idle thoughts, it is better to think about how to deal with the next thing.

Cui Zuojing didn't know what kind of tangled struggle Dong Zheng had in his heart. He returned to his room and wanted to sleep immediately, but thinking of Dong Zheng's last instructions, he felt that he was really going to get sick, so he sighed and went to wash up. hot shower.

Although Chang Hui didn't have any means of attack, this rain was really deadly.

The time to recuperate is so precious and short, Cui Zuojing didn't want to waste it at all, so he wiped his hair half-dry, threw himself into the soft bed, and fell asleep.

He dreamed again.

In the dream, he went back to eight years ago. In the apartment that their team applied for, Luo Wan and Chi Li and Nana were wearing aprons to prepare dinner. The two girls were cooking and eating secretly. The laughter kept coming, and Victor tried to find wine. The wine that was hidden in advance by Fu Zhe in the cabinet.

Fu Zhe walked out of the study, wearing a pair of low-degree myopia glasses, and holding the parameter table of the box to be selected next. And he was leaning on the sofa, staring at the TV, frowning and protesting when Victor, who was walking around, blocked the picture.

The stars outside the window were shining, and together with the dim lights on the roadside, they were reflected on the glass window, and reflected in the pair of eyes that shone with hope.

All the flowers, water and moon in the mirror shattered silently, and suddenly turned into Fu Zhe's castle in front of him. Allen fell into a daze and walked down the stairs with his hair in a mess. Lin Hangzhi squatted on the ground and combed Victor with a shell. Combing, Dong Linhai tortured the spoons and himself insensitively.

Fu Zhe was studying the curse in the bedroom. Dong Zheng borrowed his book and was re-learning the algorithm. He held a carbon pen in his hand with clear bones. On the paper were written abbreviations of English terms that Cui Zuojing could not understand.

- Be careful with your friends.

Chang Hui's words echoed in her heart, the devil with the most contractual spirit, with Cui Zuojing's understanding of her, Chang Hui is unlikely to lie to him.

So who is at fault

In the dream, time flows at a strange speed. When Cui Zuojing woke up, he only felt that he squinted for a while. He looked out the window, but found that it was almost dark.

The window was not closed, and a raven stood on the window sill at some point, with its wings retracted, and its blood-red eyes stared straight at him.

The largest bird in the passerine order is half a meter long, with a faint blue-violet halo on its black feathers. When Cui Zuojing woke up, it fluttered its wings and made a rough and hoarse cry. sound, and then flew out the window.

Cui Zuojing immediately rolled over and got out of bed, walked quickly to the window, and held the window sill with both hands. The raven was circling and flying towards the sky that was about to be enveloped by night. Like a vortex, it seems to devour the entire town.

Are you about to start

Cui Zuojing casually wiped his face with clean water and walked out of the room, just in time to see Dong Zheng also coming out of the opposite room.

"Are you going to start?"

"It should be, what about the others?"

"Victor is accompanying Agatha, and Alan is going to explore the terrain." Dong Zheng knocked on the doors of Dong Linhai and Lin Hangzhi respectively, and said, "It's time to work."

Unexpectedly, Wang Que was not in the room. The four of them walked out of the small palace where they lived under the guidance of the maid and found her at the door.

The girl is sitting on the flower bed, looking up at the dark sky, her long curly hair dyed flaxen is tied up high, revealing a bright face, like most girls of this age who are trying to lose weight, under the sports clothes The body looks very thin and thin.

"Something is coming this way, I can feel it, there are a lot of them." Wang Que turned around when she heard Cui Zuojing approaching, with a white puppy on her lap.

"Just looking at this posture, I know that something bad will happen..." The number of crows in the sky has reached a point that is very unfriendly to patients with intensive phobia, Lin Hangzhi gathered up his jacket and felt a little cold.

The five of them looked at the sky in silence, and the shrill crows sounded from time to time. The world was completely dark, without stars or moon, and only the lights of the distant town streets faintly reflected the scene in the sky.

The maid came over and said softly, "Several guests, the master invites you to a dinner party."

Dong Zheng heard the words and knew that Agatha had made a decision. They followed the maid doll into the dining room, Agatha was sitting at the end of the long table, waiting for them, and Victor squatted on the nearest chair to her left.

Ellen hadn't come back yet, and Wang Que was sitting on Agatha's right hand, and the others were careful to keep a certain distance from this sensitive little master of heaven, lest she get too nervous.

Agatha rested her hands on the chair, her fingers clenched the lace hood nervously, her eyes swept across the faces of everyone, but in the end she still didn't dare to look at the others, she whispered to Wang Que: "I talked to the astrologer just now. After that, she said that the situation is very bad, so... if you brothers and sisters are capable, please help us protect this place and all the people, okay?"

"We will." Wang Que gave her a reassuring smile, "I can feel something coming here, they are very fast, it is estimated that they will reach the town in two or three hours, so hurry up and eat, We are ready."

Agatha didn't expect to come back so quickly, she gave a surprised "ah", nodded hurriedly, and frantically asked the maid to serve the food.

Dinner was served one by one, all covered with silver plate lids. After the dishes were served, no one moved the tableware and waited for Agatha to use them first.

As if serving the most delicate little princess, the maid wrapped a napkin for her, poured milk, and after everything was arranged, she lifted the lid of the plate in front of her.

"what!"

On that delicate meal lay the corpse of a rat that had rotted and grown maggots.

White maggots emerged from the eye sockets, carrying the unknown contents of the broken eyeballs, and crawled up the rat's disfigured body.

Agatha covered her face and screamed and backed away frantically, tripping over a chair in a panic. Wang Que immediately stood up and grabbed Agatha's wrist quickly, but was almost brought down.

Cui Zuojing quickly put the lid of the dinner plate back on, and carried the plate of mice away from Agatha. Lin Hangzhi and Dong Zheng looked at each other, and immediately lifted the other lids one by one.

A rotting animal's carcass, a rat or a sparrow was on almost every plate, and besides that, the meal had a rich, rancid taste that seemed to have been left for three days in the sweltering heat.

Unprepared, Dong Linhai couldn't help retching and almost vomited. After all, Lin Hangzhi has studied medicine for many years and has a lot of knowledge. He has practiced it a long time ago. He quickly closed the lid and was actually the most calm person in the restaurant except Cui Zuojing.
