With a loud bang, the entire underground palace trembled. Qi Leren, who had collapsed due to continuous reading, fell to the ground as soon as his legs softened. The pendant that Ning Zhou had dropped was right next to him. He directed his arm with difficulty to pick up the pendant, climbed to the corner and sat down.
The battle situation not far away has turned white-hot, and the frost spread to his feet at a terrifying speed, covering the surrounding walls and ground with a layer of frost and snow, and the aura on Ning Zhou's short knife was waving at an extremely fast speed. A piece of silver-white light satin, the wall cracked and shattered wherever it passed. In the dust and ashes, Qi Le people suddenly saw the phantom of a huge blazing angel, holy and majestic, just like when they were in the underground lake...
This time it was an evenly matched battle. As for whether we could win... Qi Le people were suddenly relieved.
If you lose, just bury it here quietly, and sleep with Ning Zhou in this quiet underground palace.
The metal pendant held in his hand oozes coolness, and Qi Leren took it in front of him. He remembered that it was the pendant that released the Holy Spirit Barrier at that time, giving the two people time to breathe.
The round pendant was broken, and it was opened with a slight movement of the finger, revealing a small photo inside. The woman in the photo had dazzling blonde hair, and her blue eyes were almost identical to Ning Zhou.
is her? Who is the praying blond woman under the statue of the Virgin in the Holy Spirit Barrier
Judging from the looks of the two, she definitely has a blood relationship with Ning Zhou. Could it be her sister? But no matter how they look, they are all NPCs, don't they...
The body is getting colder and more tired. He has never read the file three times in a row. Qi Leren still underestimated the overdraft of the body by using this skill continuously. I can't think any longer, and I may even faint at any time.
The battle in the distance became more and more intense, and the entire underground palace seemed to be destroyed. Small dust and gravel kept falling from the top of the head. Qi Leren barely raised his head, opened his eyes and glanced at the stone dome above his head. It was cracked, more fragments fell, and dust floated all around.
Qi Leren knew that he should dodge, but he couldn't even move.
The slate above his head was shaky, making a ferocious cracking sound, and the shocking crack was getting deeper and deeper, and it was about to hit him.
[Clothing in the rain] The remaining induction times are 0/3, and the cooling down countdown is 23:59:59.
Get moving! Get moving!
Qi Leren wanted to crawl to the side a little, even if it was just a little bit, as long as they avoided the key points...
But not to mention the need to move his limbs, even the blink of an eye seems to be burning the last strength in his body.
His vision became blurred and his voice became distant. He stared blankly at the slate above his head like a slowly sinking ship, falling little by little into the abyss of death. There was another loud noise in the distance, and the overwhelmed connection finally broke completely. With a muffled sound, the slate fell from the top of the head and slammed into the Qi Leren who couldn't move.
Sometimes, sudden death is so unreasonable... Qi Leren gave a bitter smile in his heart and closed his eyes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... The expected pain did not come, Qi Leren opened his eyes slightly, his vision was blurred, he could only vaguely see two white figures, holding hands, standing at him before.
The slate that almost took his life was held up in the air by an incredible force, and was driven to slowly float not far away, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
How is this going
Qi Leren blinked hard, wanting to see more clearly, the white figure holding hands turned his head, his face blurred like a layer of fog. The Keqi Le people just felt that they smiled at him. Then holding hands, they disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Ai Li, Aisha..." Qi Leren read out their names silently. There was nothing he could actually do for the tragic sisters, but they remembered his insignificant help after they died.
Thank you, thank you.
Darkness and tiredness shrouded, Qi Leren held the pendant, pillowed the sound of fighting farther and farther in his ear, and his consciousness sank into the barren abyss.
In the drowsiness, Qi Leren felt as if he was lying on a small boat. The surrounding wind and waves were calm. Only a slight wave of water caused the hull to shake. The regular shaking made his consciousness more lazy, and he wandered unscrupulously in the dream of freedom. He felt as if he had forgotten something important.
what's the matter...
As if... an important person.
Ning Zhou!
Qi Leren woke up from a trance, and for a moment he thought he had been lying in the tomb for hundreds of years, so tired and so cold.
Ning Zhou, who was holding him, lowered her head, her long tied hair had been scattered, and a few strands of hair even rubbed gently on his cheek, causing a slight itch. She looked down at him, her eyes soft.
"Ning Zhou?" Qi Leren called out her name, her voice hoarse as if she hadn't spoken in years.
"Are you awake? Are you okay?" Isabel's voice sounded from the other side, Qi Leren turned her head to look with difficulty, she looked at him with a little panic, and finally relieved when he woke up, "You don't know, Just now, Ning Zhou had a terrifying expression when he saw that the corridor had collapsed, but luckily, after digging out the stone, he found that you were safe and sound, which is really good."
Qi Leren blinked her dry eyes and looked at Ning Zhou, she turned her face a little embarrassedly, and her earlobes were slightly red.
An incredible force was suddenly injected into the tired body, Qi Leren couldn't help but smile, the smile was a little silly.
"We won?" he asked confidently.
"Yeah." Ning Zhou replied softly. After the battle, she could finally stop worrying about the influence of skills and start talking.
The happiness of the rest of his life swept through Qi Leren's body at once. He got down from Ning Zhou's arms. Although his legs were still a little weak, he didn't even lose the strength to walk. go ahead.
The front is a mess, with collapsed stones and destroyed sculptures everywhere. At the end of the corridor in the distance, what should have been a dead end that was closed, has now become a huge altar. It stands tall there, walk towards it There are two rows of stone sculptures lined up on the road, each of which is a young girl, and death has fixed their last moment here.
The lighthearted mood disappeared all at once, especially when he saw the stone carvings of Sister Ellie - he didn't even know which corner of the underground palace the two sisters died in.
"You can complete the task by completing the sacrifice, who will come?" asked Qi Leren.
Ning Zhou shook his head, his low and sweet voice was like a graceful cello: "I won't compromise with the devil."
Qi Le people recalled the ethereal and holy sanctuary in the Holy Spirit Barrier, and vaguely felt that Ning Zhou should be a person with quite an adventure, and should be from the Holy See.
"Then why don't I try..." Qi Leren decided to see if the SL skill could fool the system.
"I'll come." Isabel stood up, she looked sad but firm, "Now I can't go back to the village, the girls who were sent to sacrifice, no one has ever gone back, if I When I go back, they will definitely send me back, after all, in their eyes, I am already a witch of the devil."
"And... if I serve the Demon King and gain strength, maybe I can see my sister again... I want to see her again."
"Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I'd be dead now, let alone get back my memories back then, thank you." Isabel said goodbye calmly to the two with a smile.
"Have you thought about it clearly?" Qi Leren asked her.
Isabelle nodded: "Serving the Demon King may not be as bad as I imagined, if I become stronger, I can protect the people I want to protect, my parents, my relatives, and my friends, I don't want to see anyone else Died... I want to try it anyway."
Isabelle made up her mind, and Qi Leren said nothing. If he was Isabelle now, he would probably make the same decision. In this nightmare world, ordinary humans are really too weak and too weak. If there is a chance to change their fate, even if they become demons, countless people will be willing to try.
"Good luck." Qi Leren blessed her.
The silent Ning Zhou also said, "Remember your heart."
Isabelle's expression froze slightly, and then she smiled: "My heart has never changed."
As Isabel walked up to the altar step by step, a beam of light rose from the top of the altar, and an illusory figure could be vaguely seen in the beam. Ning Zhou's expression suddenly became solemn, and his hand also pressed on the handle of the knife.
Who is that? Fraud Demon King
Isabelle had already come to the beam, and the figure shrouded in the light looked illusory, but she easily connected her to the beautiful woman three years ago.
The figure let out an inaudible chuckle, and the words were full of demagogic power: "Good boy, come to me."
Isabel's face showed a trace of enthusiasm, she looked at the beautiful figure with longing, and murmured as if bewitched: "I finally... I can come to your side... Although I am not the most beautiful and powerful That one, but I still won."
She stepped into the beam and never looked back.
Almost at the same moment, the system prompt appeared.
[Player Qi Leren, complete the task of sacrificing witches. 50% mission completion.]
[Reward for 30 days of survival, the task completion coefficient is 1.5 times, and for completing the hidden task: Dusty Past, the reward for survival is 10 days, and the total reward for survival is 55 days.]
[Data synchronization countdown, ten, nine... ]
"Ning Zhou, go back to the Land of Twilight, let's meet!" The time was running out, and Qi Leren said quickly.
Ning Zhou's figure has been wrapped in the transmitted beam, together with the black bird on her shoulder: "Well."
Qi Leren laughed happily: "The steel bridge on Sunset Island."
"it is good."
[… Three, two, one, the synchronization is completed.]
The teleportation was completed, and unlike the first time they came to the Land of Dusk, this time the Qi Le people were directly sent back to their home on Sunset Island.
During the mission in the main world, although the number of days of survival will be locked, the time of other people is moving. Counting the road to Maka Village, he has actually left the Land of Dusk for more than a week, and his home has already floated. A thin layer of dust.
Qi Leren immediately rushed to the bathroom, and his familiar face appeared in the mirror, no longer the girl in the mission, but himself.
He suddenly became uneasy, will Ning Zhou be disappointed when he sees the real him? Can she accept it
This uncertainty made Qi Leren anxious. After washing his face, he nervously stroked his hair.
After finishing his clothes and taking a deep breath, Qi Leren stood at the door and opened the door.
The sunset came into view at once, and the familiar air with oil and the salty sea breeze entered the nasal cavity, bringing a familiar taste and unfamiliar longing.
He started walking towards the steel bridge.
On the beach at sunset, seagulls prey on the coast in groups, making a loud chirping sound.
The sea breeze blew the ends of the hair, and also blew the heart.
Qi Leren was restless and excited, recalling all kinds of things about Ning Zhou in the mission, that kind of secret happiness made him impatient to share with someone. After seeing Ning Zhou, he must have a good chat with Dr. Lu and tell him that he is leaving the group!
With each step, the excitement grows unbearable. The pace of Qi Le people became faster and faster.
Every bit and every drop in the memory is sweet, even if he was scarred and embarrassed, and even hovered on the edge of life and death many times, but everything was worth it, because in the end he got Ning Zhou's heart.
Recalling Ning Zhou's tears and kisses in the Holy Spirit Barrier, Qi Leren blushed unconsciously.
At that time, he had completely forgotten to feel it, but it didn't matter, in the future... there will definitely be opportunities in the future...
Before he knew it, he had changed from a brisk walk to a trot, and finally he just sprinted. The Sunset Island was shrouded in the setting sun, and the shadows stretched by the setting sun receded rapidly in his field of vision. He could not control this excitement. mood, running towards the destination.
The steel bridge was already in front of him, and Qi Leren finally stopped, gasping for breath while tidying up his clothes and hair.
Ning Zhou, shouldn't you come yet? While talking to himself, Qi Leren looked around anxiously, looking for Ning Zhou's figure.
Sure enough, she hasn't come yet.
Qi Leren couldn't say whether he was lucky or lost. He raised his feet and walked from the end of the steel bridge to the highest point of the arch bridge, wanting to stand there and find Ning Zhou who was coming.
On the top of the bridge, a tall man in a black trench coat stood there with his arms crossed, with his back to him, as if he was looking at the estuary connected by the river.
Qi Leren stood on the other side, the windbreaker on the man looked very similar to the coat that Ning Zhou lent him, which made Qi Leren a little unhappy, and made him take another look at the man. 's back.
People come and go from one end of the bridge to the other, some talking and laughing, some alone, this mundane and ordinary picture finally Qi Le people have a feeling of living in reality, not with those who died Like a witch, bound by a cold and terrifying underground palace.
Ning Zhou will come later, how is he going to greet her? During the waiting time, Qi Leren had already thought about the scene when they met, until...
The sound of flapping wings rang in his ears, Qi Leren raised his head and saw the familiar big black bird descending from the sky, stopped on his shoulders and shouted to him cheerfully: "Delicious, delicious!"
Appeared! The goddess is coming!
Qi Leren ignored the bird and looked around nervously.
The moment he raised his head, the man in the black trench coat turned around and looked at him in surprise on the opposite side separated by the flow of people.
Those familiar blue eyes suddenly crashed into Qi Leren's eyes.
Deep silhouette, handsome face, and those blue eyes that he will never forget until he dies...
Qi Le people stared at him blankly, and the people who came and went passed through them with laughter, together with their excited mood. At this moment, all the strange things he ignored in the mission surfaced one by one, mocking him mercilessly.
At this moment, the two people who were on the verge of collapse asked the same sentence in astonishment: "Are you a man?"
[Killing Seed]
