Views:

On the tenth night after Qi Le returned to the Twilight Land, an uninvited parrot pecked open the window of Dr. Lu's clinic.

At this time, the drowsy Qi Leren had finished washing and jumped into bed. While writing his diary for the past few days, he felt a sudden shock when he saw the shadow of the parrot outside the window. At this time, Chen Baiqi's parrot suddenly came to him... He jumped up from the bed and opened the window forcefully.

"Come to me, here is the letter." The parrot jumped off the window sill and flew away after finishing speaking outside the window.

Qi Leren seemed to be a student who was suddenly told that the results of the college entrance examination would come out early, and he was so shocked that his sleepiness disappeared. He hurriedly put on his clothes and trousers, without even thinking about saying hello to Dr. Lu, he opened the door and rushed to Chen Baiqi's house.

In the setting sun everywhere, Qi Le's heartbeat was running fast, not only the heartbeat during exercise, but also the heartbeat of anxiety and anticipation.

When knocking on the door of Chen Baiqi's house out of breath, Chen Baiqi glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "That's right, you run very fast. If you keep this speed, you can buy breakfast every day in nineteen minutes."

Normally, Qi Leren would have slandered him at this time, but at this moment he was not in the mood at all, and asked eagerly: "What did Ning Zhou say in the letter? How is he doing? When will he be back?"

Chen Baiqi was much calmer than him, and found the tea without haste: "Huh? Where did I put that box of tea?"

"Boiled water is fine!" Qi Le, who was scratching his heart with a hundred claws, didn't care about tea! He could only wish to snatch the letter from Chen Baiqi.

"Do you think I made it for you to drink? You think too much." Chen Baiqi said coldly.

Qi Leren was speechless, shaking his legs anxiously.

Chen Baiqi found the tea leaves and started to boil the water—at this time Qi Leren's anxiety was already written on his face, if Chen Baiqi hadn't established absolute authority in these short ten days, at this time Qi Leren would have already growled.

The teapot for boiling water is a common style in Twilight Township. It is a bit like an iron kettle in the 1960s and 1970s. It is placed on a "coal stove". A demonic crystal of immense power, a crystal obtained from the body of demons after they have been killed.

The water was heating up, but Qi Leren was cooling down the fire. The urge to rush his head to his forehead just now had subsided, and the feeling of scratching his heart and lungs had faded away, and he finally calmed down.

When the water boiled, Chen Baiqi slowly made a pot of tea for himself with the best tea leaves, but made a pot of chrysanthemum tea for Qi Leren.

Qi Le was hanging on the back of the chair like a dead fish, his expression was very dignified, and his heart was very disturbed. He already felt that Chen Baiqi was making big moves to teach him how to be a man. Go out and run around Sunset Island.

"Young people, don't always be in a hurry. Drink, calm down, and go to the fire." Chen Baiqi said lightly.

Holding the teacup, Qi Leren honestly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't be so hasty and rash. Even if I'm really anxious, I should at least keep calm and not get carried away by my personal emotions." Qi Leren said obediently.

"At least I'm still calm, at least I didn't yell at me, otherwise you think you can still sit here and drink tea?" Chen Baiqi chuckled.

Qi Leren repeatedly said yes, anyway, what Chen Baiqi said at this time is right and good, so don't go against her, this is a bloody lesson.

"When a person is impatient, he will panic, and when he panics, he is not far from death. Calm down, be patient, observe, and seize the opportunity. Now you barely pass one of the items. Hehe, it's time to admit your mistakes." Chen Baiqi laughed.

Qi Leren was not convinced, he felt that his level of observation was not bad, at least he could see that Chen Baiqi was taking the opportunity to hone his temperament.

Chen Baiqi seemed to see what he was thinking, and smiled coldly: "Didn't you notice? The parrot that told you to come over is not mine at all."

Cold sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead, and Qi Leren desperately recalled the parrot that knocked on his window. The light at that time was not bright, and the parrot was in the shadow. He couldn't see the color of the parrot clearly, but he subconsciously put the It was connected with the parrot that Chen Baiqi had summoned when Chen Baiqi asked him to do the blindfolded intuition test, plus the parrot said "Come to me, the letter is here", Qi Le people's attention was completely caught The transfer did not confirm whether the parrot belonged to Chen Baiqi at all.

If this was not a small test by Chen Baiqi, but someone who knew a little bit about the inside story and was hostile to him fished him out and ambushed and assassinated him while he was anxious, the consequences would be disastrous.

"That's my teacher's parrot, I borrowed it specially." Chen Baiqi whistled, and a parrot flew out from the darkness. Before it showed itself, the people of Qi Le didn't notice its existence at all. !

When he saw this parrot again, Qi Le realized what an outrageous mistake he had made - he didn't realize that it was a red parrot! It wasn't Chen Baiqi's green-headed parrot at all!

Such an obvious omission, he didn't notice the slightest strangeness at that time!

The Qi Le man couldn't say anything to justify, holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea and drinking it silently, as honest as a three-good student.

Seeing that the beating was almost done, Chen Baiqi finally spoke: "Speaking of business, Ning Zhou's letter has been sent to me from the underground ant city near Purgatory. The letter said that he was going to Purgatory to perform the dream of the holy nuns. The second ring of the series of missions, if all goes well, he will return to the supply point within half a month, and then send me a letter to report that he is safe, and tell me the mission situation by the way."

Qi Leren pursed his lips, wanting to ask if he was mentioned in the letter. But he also knows that with Ning Zhou's reserved personality, it is almost impossible for him to take the initiative to talk about his thoughts with others unless necessary. Even though the unspoken longing and love gnawed at his heart day and night, he still remained silent and persevering.

"... In other words, even if I write to him now, he will receive it within half a month?" Qi Leren asked.

Chen Baiqi nodded: "If the situation goes well. If he gets stuck in the mission, it's hard to say. After all, he needs to go to the supply point to get the letter himself, and he may not be able to get it in a short time."

"Is Purgatory dangerous?" Qi Leren asked knowingly. When playing the role of "Red", he had already known the situation of the underground ant city and Purgatory. At this time, when he asked, he was not looking for an answer, but for peace of mind. .

"In this world, where is it not dangerous? As long as he doesn't enter the gap between the two realms in the depths of purgatory, Ning Zhou should be able to handle it. If there is anything unexpected about him, I will know it here, and he gave me a piece of paper before he left. There is a life crystal with a drop of his blood, as long as the crystal is not broken, it means that everything is fine for him." Chen Baiqi said, and put a crystal the size of a coin on the table, and the crystal was suspended on the table by itself An inch high, as if some invisible force made it float there. There is a small drop of scarlet blood in the center of the crystal, and the blood is surrounded by golden and silver light spots, which are slowly rotating.

Qi Leren stretched out his hand to touch it, and when his fingers were about to touch it, he secretly glanced at Chen Baiqi's expression, and retracted his hand.

"You can take it as a souvenir, and it's the same as keeping it with you." Chen Baiqi said.

The people of Qi Le finally touched the life crystal. The crystal and the hand are like two identical magnetic poles approaching each other. There is a strong repulsive force, which will automatically keep a distance of about an inch from the surrounding objects. If you do not use force deliberately to grab it, It will float quietly an inch or so above the palm of your hand.

"What is this life crystal?" Qi Leren asked.

"A special demonic crystal, produced in the underground ant city, is not expensive. If blood is dripped into the crystal, if the owner of the blood is seriously injured, the crystal will crack. If the person dies, the crystal will be completely broken. In addition There is no other special use." Chen Baiqi said.

Qi Le held the life crystal as carefully as if holding his own precious heart: "Then Ning Zhou's letter..."

"You should take a look too, after all he mentioned you." Chen Baiqi said.

Qi Leren accepted the letter in astonishment.

Ning Zhou's handwriting has similar characteristics to his own, and his tone is also very upright and serious. At the beginning of the letter, he greeted Chen Baiqi and Qianqian, briefly said that he had left the Holy See of Neverland, and then how did he Pass through the tranquil sea desert to come to the underground ant city, and the recent situation of the underground ant city. He also talked about his recent plan - to go to purgatory to trigger the second step of the mission.

This impersonal letter, which seems to be a routine report, suddenly has a trace of human emotion at the end.

"While crossing the desert, I encountered a huge storm and lost my camel, but I was lucky enough to survive and came to the Valentin tribe on the Gobi..."

"When we arrived at the underground ant city, it coincided with the end of this month's monster tide, and the celebration ceremony was being held. Crowds flocked towards the palace to meet the old dragon ant queen. Humans and demons briefly forgot the bloody feud between them, and fought for survival And ecstatic…”

“…I went through the lively celebrations and came to a home society to settle down. It was late and the crowd was still jubilant. In this place, maybe only one day a month is peaceful and lively…”

There was only the last line of the letter, and the people of Qi Le couldn't bear to read it.

But he still saw the last sentence, a subtle, tactful, and heartfelt thought that he couldn't help pouring out. Qi Leren recited this sentence silently over and over again, with so many emotions deposited in it, that the simple words were so deep and heavy that tears filled his eyes.

"I dreamed of him again, it was a sweet dream."
