Qi Leren has not regained the ability to think for a long time.
He seemed to be a poor man who had been enchanted by petrification, sitting blankly on the chair, watching the line of system prompts on the screen that gradually faded away.
Ning Zhou is dead
die. Qi Leren couldn't put this cold word on Ning Zhou's body, even if it was just an imagination, he couldn't accept it.
The trachea seemed to be blocked, and Qi Leren felt that he had returned to the sea, feeling the pain of suffocation under the increasing water pressure, he could not breathe, and he could not escape, the oppressive darkness and death surrounded him, Tormenting him, making him unable to bear it for even a second.
He must go to Ning Zhou! Bring him back from purgatory!
He has always been used to waiting passively, indulging his inertia and dependence to wait, and comforting himself that this is the best way, but he never thought that there would be a day when he couldn't wait for some people and some things. An anxious sense of urgency weighed heavily on his shoulders, just like when he used the Prophet's Heart, that huge clock kept counting down for him.
Counting the seven days he died, today is the twenty-fourth day after his resurrection, and there are only five days left for him. He must hurry back and bring Ning Zhou back, otherwise...
Qi Leren didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Tuk tuk." There was a knock on the door, and the Qi Le people were startled, and suddenly closed the notebook. The moment it closed, it disappeared out of thin air. Thank goodness he turned off the invisible cameras that were following him, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain it all.
A skill card was lying quietly on the computer desk, Qi Le people had no time to think, put the skill card into the inventory, and asked loudly: "Who?"
The door opened, and Du Yue stood outside, surprised: "Are you really here?"
It was a strange question, Qi Leren felt weird when he heard it: "How do you know I'm here?"
Du Yue scratched his head, a little tangled and puzzled and said: "There is a very strange gentleman... I don't know where he came from... He showed me the way and said that you are here."
A chill permeated Qi Leren's back, cold sweat flowed down, Qi Leren's hands were trembling, and if he didn't deliberately control it, his voice would tremble too, the familiar fear returned to him , even if he just imagined that person's name, he would feel extremely terrifying.
A person who suddenly appeared and knew everything about him, a person who could enter the copy and even interfere with the copy, a... scary person.
He came here again, for the secret hidden in this laptop.
"Where is the other person?" Qi Leren asked word by word.
"He said he would be at the bottom of this research institute. Senior, is he a remnant of this planet? Did they not leave here, but live underground or something?" Du Yue, who didn't know Su He, had no idea at all. The real identity of the person who came, but thinks that he is part of this copy.
Qi Leren took a deep breath, shook his head, got up and walked out of the room.
"Where are the others? Have you met them?" Qi Leren asked.
"We got separated just now." Du Yue said in frustration.
Qi Leren didn't ask any more questions, and walked quickly to the safe passage. Since Su He wants to see him, then he will bite the bullet and go, but this time he has no Easter egg, if Su He makes him choose life and death again...
He should agree, Qi Leren thought, he must not die here, if he dies, Ning Zhou's fate will follow that terrible path, leading to the abyss of death. He couldn't watch Ning Zhou die no matter what.
If Ning Zhou becomes a demon, then he will accompany him.
If you can't stay together in this world, then go to hell together.
He is not afraid, because there is nothing more terrible than losing.
But if Su He insists on killing him... Qi Leren stopped in the stairs, turned around and said to Du Yue: "I have something to ask you."
"Senior, please tell me, I will definitely do it!" Because of Qi Leren's dignified expression along the way, Du Yue felt uneasy that he might have made a big mistake. Now that he heard the senior's request, he just patted his chest hard and agreed. .
"Don't follow me later, do everything possible to protect your own safety. If I die, go back to Twilight and find a woman named Chen Baiqi..." Qi Leren said, taking out With pen and paper, he quickly wrote down the situation about Ning Zhou and handed it to Du Yue.
Du Yue opened his mouth, looking like he was about to cry: "Is it so dangerous? Senior, don't go!"
"Some things cannot be avoided." Qi Leren said. Su and He both came in person. It would take a matter of minutes to kill the entire dungeon. He didn't even have the cards to negotiate terms with him. It would be impossible to avoid him. "If you find Dr. Lu, Don't get separated from him, although he is often confused, he is still very lucky, that person should not be interested in killing you... I'm leaving, you should be careful."
Du Yue stared blankly at Qi Leren, this time he was really crying, a tall and tall boy who was only eighteen years old, how could he hold back his tears when he encountered the situation of life and death, his nose burst into tears He held Qi Leren's hand and refused to let go.
Qi Leren had no choice but to comfort him with a white lie: "Don't worry, this is just the worst case scenario. Generally, I'm lucky and won't die."
Du Yue said dumbfounded: "But Dr. Lu said that you are a person whose lucky value has fallen below the alphabet."
"..."
Qi Leren, who was exposed face to face, finally drove Du Yue out of the stairwell, and continued to walk down. As the number of floors decreased, the range he entered into the ground became deeper and deeper, and the surrounding air became colder and colder. Even wearing a constant temperature suit made Qi Leren feel stiff all over.
While walking, Qi Leren looked at the skill card left after the laptop disappeared.
[Sophistical lawyer]: A cunning lawyer should avoid the traps in the contract, and do everything possible to help the employer who has paid enough legal fees to avoid performing the contract that is not good for him. If you sign a contract with anyone after equipping this skill card, this contract cannot bind you, but you need to pay 130 days of remaining survival days for this. The number of remaining uses is 1/1.
Qi Leren's face turned green. He had worked so hard with the Deceitful Demon King to save 147 days of survival. Will he use up 130 days at a time? ! If this skill card is used, and he reveals his identity in this dungeon... Well, he will be wiped out simply because he doesn't have enough days to survive.
But he knew in his heart that "it" would give him this thing, which already hinted at him... he would need this skill card.
Like that Easter egg.
Qi Leren looked at the skill card with complicated emotions, and inserted it into the card slot.
It is already the thirteenth floor underground. The depth of this underground research institute is really shocking. The exit of the stairwell is in front of you. Qi Leren hesitated outside the door for a while, and pushed the door open nervously.
In front of him was a cold and featureless metal passage, pitch black, with a limited range of illumination for the flashlight, where the light could not reach, the deep darkness was like the mouth of a wild beast, waiting for him to throw himself into the trap.
Qi Leren exhaled hot air, and a thin white smoke formed in the extremely cold air.
He stepped out of the stairwell.
The eyes suddenly brightened, and the sudden light made him unable to open his eyes, but the fresh air and warm temperature from the tip of his nose made him realize that he was no longer in that cold underground research institute.
Sure enough, when his vision returned to normal, the ethereal and clean world around him made him tightly shut his mouth.
The blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are white islands floating around one after another. People can't tell whether they are white clouds or floating islands. White doves fly from the place where the sun rises, and the whole world is immersed in the hope of dawn. middle. It is hard to imagine that this is a realm of demons.
Qi Le stood on the tower of the floating island. He had been here before and had a friendly conversation with the devil who represented fraud.
At that time, Su He said that this was the land of dawn in his memory, and he projected the appearance of that ideal land in his field. People in Qi Le don't know whether this sentence is true or not, but if he thinks about it, he can't help but be terrified by the truth of the Land of Dawn—is the so-called Land of Dawn really not the sphere of influence of demons
"Good morning, little lost lamb." A hoarse and charming voice came from behind Qi Leren, scaring Qi Leren to turn around quickly.
On the terrace that was empty a few seconds ago, a woman with a white porcelain tray appeared, as if she had appeared out of nowhere.
This is the sexiest woman Qi Le people have ever seen, even if her hair is pulled into a meticulous bun, she wears a black floor-length dress with a high collar, and the only skin exposed on her whole body is her face, even her body. Both hands were wearing a pair of black thin silk gloves, but even a naked woman standing there would not be more eye-catching than her. Because no one can smile as reservedly and coquettishly as her.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ruth. This is really a very popular name, isn't it? In the capital of the devil world, if you call Ruth casually, at least ten women will turn around. So I prefer to be called Lust Witch." Ruth walked briskly to the round table and sat down, then waved to Qi Leren, "Sit down, the little pets in charge of His Majesty's care are tossing again, if you ask me, they really should change to bigger ones Cage."
"What pet?" Qi Leren asked cautiously.
Ruth folded her hands on her chin—a movement that was very much like her master—and murmured, "A goldfish."
goldfish? Qi Le was at a loss, what tricks can a goldfish do? Jump out of the goldfish bowl? Is this worth Su He to deal with personally
goldfish bowl? This word suddenly awakened the memory that Qi Leren didn't want to recall. He suddenly remembered that when Su He revealed his identity and killed him, he was called away by a voice. At that time, Qi Leren had lost too much blood and could not see clearly, but he still heard the voice. The original words were What? Seems to be…
[… The goldfish tank issued an alarm, it is very likely to escape again...]
Isn't the thing that lives in a goldfish bowl a goldfish
It's going to escape, and again? That is, it ever escaped
This it, what is it
The Lustful Witch calmly poured tea for Qi Leren. There were three sets of tea sets on the table. Both Qi Leren and her cups were already filled, and the empty one was still waiting for anyone to come.
"The waiting time is always so long. If you don't mind, we can chat casually." The Lust Witch stirred the black tea in the porcelain cup with a delicate silver spoon, but kept her eyes on Qi Leren for a moment.
"... What are you talking about?" Qi Leren asked warily.
"Then let's talk about men. A woman like me and a man like you always like this topic." The Lust Witch laughed.
"..." What does "a man like you" mean? Qi Leren was a little depressed.
"What do you think of Your Majesty?" The Lust Witch asked leisurely.
Can he say that he thinks it's a scheming pervert? After the people of Qi Le know Su He's true face, as long as he thinks back to the little things he used to get along with, it makes his hair stand on end. This feeling is probably like suddenly knowing that his kind and warm old friend who has been around him for many years is actually a serial murderer. He is his next target.
But Qi Leren can't comment on her boss like this in front of the witch, lest she become angry and teach him to be a man in ten thousand ways, so he can only take a sullen breath, consider and consider the sentence, and delete hundreds of words of negative comments He choked out a big truth that didn't offend anyone: "Very handsome."
The Lust Witch giggled happily, and reached out to touch Qi Leren's cheek: "You are so cute, I decided to put you at the second place in my favorite human being list."
A sigh came from behind Qi Leren: "Luth, I ask you to dress appropriately and take care of the guests, but I don't want you to tease him."
The sound struck Qi Leren's head like a thunderbolt. He jumped up from the chair suddenly, and felt that he had overreacted, so he sat back down. The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and he walked around his seat and sat down on the empty chair opposite Qi Leren.
Su He, who was dressed in a riding outfit as if he had just gotten off a horse, took off his white gloves and put them by his hand. He looked like a human being, handsome and gentle. He didn't seem to notice Qi Leren's gaffe, and he completely forgot about it. Unhappy before, after taking a sip of the black tea Ruth poured for him, he put down the cup, smiled and said to the restless Qi Le people:
"Have a great night, would you be interested in making a deal with me?"
