In the blink of an eye, the aircraft had already flown over the rain clouds, and the setting sun shone in from the transparent window, coating the three people on the spaceship with a warm golden color. Al was driving the spaceship. The inner warehouse of this small aircraft was cramped. Ning Zhou sat side by side, waiting for the spacecraft to land.
The heavy token ring was still in the hands of Qi Leren. He was playing with the ring, and the rest of his life made him a little absent-minded. The last picture he saw before the hatch closed was still deeply imprinted in his mind: in the thunderstorm, The believers rushed towards the flying aircraft, and Assi had turned around and disappeared into the crowd against the flow of people.
The young boy who blushed when he was looked at more than once has changed.
When performing the mission, Qi Leren didn't actually pay much attention to him. He paid more attention to Mrs. Catherine than to Assi. He was just an introduction to his mission, in order to catch Mrs. Catherine behind him, and then Infiltrated into the killing secret meeting, but for some reason, at the end of the mission, it was this young man who generally followed behind Mrs. Catherine, who suddenly made a deep impression on him.
But it doesn't make sense. Sooner or later, they will fall into the hands of the Inquisition, and the Slaughtering Secret Society of Twilight will be uprooted.
Qi Leren picked up the ring, and there was Luo Yishan's blood on it. The ring was facing the setting sun outside the window, reflecting a dazzling light.
Ning Zhou looked at the ring and also at him, his side face against the light softened his outline, and the setting sun passed through every strand of his eyelashes, leaving countless shadows. Qi Leren's eyes fell from the ring to Ning Zhou's face. For a moment, he wanted to ask about the sapphire ring, but he couldn't ask, so he could only smile at Ning Zhou.
An unbelievable thing happened at this moment. Ning Zhou, who has always been unsmiling, softened his expression and smiled back at him.
The roaring sound of the spaceship engine disappeared, the mechanical ticking sound also disappeared, and even the orange-red sunset seemed to disappear. Qi Leren stared blankly at Ning Zhou's rare smile, stunned. speechless.
That look must be silly, because he was still holding the Killing Club's token ring, as if he was going to give it to someone.
"Go back and take out the Seed of Slaughter." Ning Zhou said, the dreamy afterglow of the sunset plated a layer of red on his side face, making him real and warm.
"Oh... um, good." Qi Leren finally came back to his senses, and touched the Seed of Killing that had grown down the spine at the back of his neck. This time bomb was finally going to be removed.
"Ning Zhou... Thank you for this time." Qi Leren thanked him in a low voice.
Ning Zhou shook his head and said nothing.
Qi Leren understood what he meant, he didn't think it was anything, he was just doing what he thought should be done, and would never ask for anything in return.
Al, who was flying the aircraft, had been paying attention to the movement behind him. At this moment, he finally couldn't help rolling his eyes. What happened to these two? Looking at each other affectionately for a long time, is this going to kiss? Even if the movie law "there must be a kiss scene after the war", you have to see the gender clearly!
Thinking of this, Al suddenly felt a little ashamed. This task is really too difficult for newcomers. Seeing that a good young man has been specially trained, his sexual orientation is not right... And Ning Zhou, the Holy See strictly prohibits homosexuality.
The aircraft landed at the courthouse, and Qi Leren, who came to the courthouse again, was less anxious than the last time. After completing the task, he stepped off the aircraft in high spirits and followed Al into the courthouse.
This time he was not led into the underground area, but went directly to an office.
Al knocked on the door, and a man's voice came from the door: "Come in."
Al opened the door and signaled Qi Le to go in, but Ning Zhou walked in first.
The people in the house were standing by the windowsill with their backs to them, as if they were looking at the lingering sunset on the coastline. He turned around when he heard footsteps, and when he saw Ning Zhou at the door, he asked in disgust, "You What are you coming for?"
Qi Leren didn't know who this person was, but when he came to the court last time, he saw him and Ning Zhou walking out together. It should be the top of the court. Seeing him at this moment, Qi Leren suddenly had a sense of self-confidence - it seems that his red dress is not very girly.
Look at the man in front of him - tall, white, thin, black and straight, with a really androgynous face, if it wasn't for his voice, he could tell that he was a man, and Qi Leren would definitely think it was a royal sister.
Qi Leren was looking straight, when Ning Zhou suddenly glanced at him and stretched out his hand.
What is this for? Qi Leren took a beat, remembered the token ring, and hurriedly handed it over to Ning Zhou.
Ning Zhou took the token ring and threw it away without even looking at it. The other party quickly caught it and complained, "I really don't know where you are so angry... Hello, Qi Leren, although it's not the first time we met, but I'm here. I didn't introduce myself in a hurry."
The man came over, and Qi Leren stretched out his hand, shook it lightly, and parted: "I'm Si Lin, the Acting Chief Executive of the Tribunal, thank you very much for your support for this mission, and we will honor our previous promise. ,at any time."
"What about other rewards?" Ning Zhou asked coldly.
Si Lin sighed: "Okay, because you have done very well, we will give you an extra reward, such as skill cards, props, etc. You can also exchange it for the number of days of survival, you can change your general requirements. Speak up and we'll do our best to accommodate you."
Qi Leren was overjoyed. He really wanted the skill card loaned to him by the Tribunal. After equipping it, the basic stats were increased. Otherwise, he would not have had the agility and strength to fight Luo Yishan for so long.
but…
"I want to participate in the training of new recruits in the courthouse." Qi Leren said firmly.
The skill card can indeed improve his ability instantly, but if he doesn't work hard to improve himself while he is still a rookie, he will die in the mission sooner or later. He still has many mysteries to solve, and he wants to go further.
Si Rin raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect him to make such a request.
"It seems that you are smarter than I thought." Si Lin came to him, and at close range, his eyes were like some kind of cold-blooded reptile, the pupils were slender than ordinary people, and the distance between the two had exceeded With the boundaries of politeness, Qi Leren felt a chill, which came out of Si Rin's body.
This is not the coldness brought by the aura, but a substantial coldness, just like the cold air coming out of the refrigerator after opening the door, not aimed at him, but a real coldness.
"Then let Al train you." Si Rin took a step back, glanced at Ning Zhou with a half-smile, and then saw off the guest with a smile.
"Change another." Ning Zhou said suddenly.
Qi Leren let out a blank sigh, only to hear Ning Zhou repeat: "I'll train you and change your request."
Suddenly, someone suggested himself to be his coach. Qi Leren immediately understood what Ning Zhou meant. He could make other demands of the trial. Don't waste this precious opportunity on training himself - although he didn't think it was a waste, But since there are better people willing to help, he can make other demands of the trial.
"Hey, even though the Tribunal is just an extension agency of the Holy See, you can eat inside and out." Si Rin said depressedly.
Ning Zhouli ignored him, and said to Qi Leren, "If you can't think of it, just keep it. You can use the place of the court in the future, so don't be polite to them."
"Oh...then I'll keep it." Qi Le's people are good-natured, and maybe they can take refuge in the future if they can't get along.
Si Rin walked past the two of them, opened the door of his office, and stretched out his hand perfunctorily: "You can go."
Qi Leren felt as if he had successfully offended someone, and was a little apprehensive. He smiled kindly at Si Rin and left quickly.
"Ning Zhou." Si Rin stopped him.
Ning Zhou paused in his footsteps and looked at Si Rin. He looked at him solemnly: "His Majesty the Pope once praised you in front of me. He said that you have never let him down."
Ning Zhou flicked the hand on his side and slowly tightened his fist.
"I won't let him down," he said, turning and walking out of the room.
