Just like watching a poor lamb caught in a hunter's trap, the whining will not arouse the pity of an experienced hunter. On the contrary, the hunter will only be excited by the delicacy of the dying struggle.
Looking at Qi Leren who was struck by lightning, Su He said lightly: "I know many ways to evade the contract, but it is not easy. Most of them are one-time skills or props, or have an extremely long cooldown period. Even if you don't …be prepared.”
Qi Leren stared blankly at Su He, as if all his strength had been drained, he remained silent for a long, long time, his drooping head was lifeless, only his eyelashes were trembling, as if He could hardly bear such a failure, and he wanted to cry.
This long silence does not make people feel ridiculous, but makes people feel sad.
It was like watching a desperate gambler pile up all his chips on the table and lose it all.
Everything that followed was like a mechanical repetition. Qi Leren signed his name on the parchment again expressionlessly, and the signed words were all distorted due to trembling. The moment he put down the pen, his spine seemed to be broken joint by joint, and he slumped on the chair and watched the rising sun silently.
A rising sun that never rises.
"Can I leave?" Qi Leren asked softly, his expression was deeply tired.
"You can do it at any time, but I suggest you stay a little longer, or even take a nap. Anyway, I have adjusted the flow of time in this area for you, so it won't take much time for you." Su He seemed to be fully considerate of him. Considerate friend, kindly gave him advice.
But Qi Leren didn't want to stay for a second longer. He would rather face the monster in the research institute than Su He. So he stood up, and the chair dragged rudely on the floor with a harsh sound.
"I'm leaving." Qi Leren said stubbornly, with a tone of anger after realizing that he had been deceived.
"If you insist, please go." Su He didn't force it, anyway, his goal had been achieved.
The Lust Witch looked at Qi Leren curiously, because his attitude could be considered rude. As a native demon, she is used to the hierarchical atmosphere of the demon world, so she doesn't quite understand the relationship between human beings. Sometimes an ant can say "no" to an elephant, which is really ridiculous in her eyes very funny.
In all fairness, Su He is not a strict leader. If he is compared to the powerful demon king who has a strong desire for control, then he is completely an easy-going boss. If he is compared to the killer demon king, then he is even more A perfect boss—at least he doesn't go crazy enough to kill anyone, and now he's half dead under lava. The Deceiver Lord is quite tolerant of his subordinates, sometimes even conniving almost on purpose. He rarely points out your mistakes, but every time you make one, he remembers it, but he doesn't show it, which makes it seem like he doesn't care. This kind of malicious indulgence promotes human weakness and self-deception, and he watches with interest and waits until you finally cross the line he has set for you...
Then you will find that you have lost everything. Even if you kneel at his feet and kiss the toe of his shoes, begging him to give you another chance, he will never look at you again.
This combination of extreme gentleness and extreme coldness forms a contradictory and complicated person. The witches love him and fear him. Even the lustful witch, who is famous for her debauchery in the demon world, seems more disciplined in front of him. . At least when she appeared in front of Su He, she would choose a dress that was not revealing from the closet, and when Su He told her to dress appropriately to entertain guests, she would also find a dress that would wrap herself from head to toe. But in order to express her dissatisfaction, she doesn't mind expressing her protest in a small way with excessive obedience. Her boss didn't care about this level of protest.
He is really unpredictable at times.
Just like she thought that trying to deceive the deceitful Demon King would make people lose his favor and even anger him, but Su He's reaction was just the opposite. He probably still gave ten points to that daring human being in his heart.
The Lustful Witch yawned a little, watching the poor human being hesitate by the chair, she looked at Su He's face, and asked politely: "Do you need me to take you out, baby?"
"Thank you." Qi Leren, who was worrying about how to leave, said quickly.
Su and his left hand resting on the armrest of the seat also supported his cheek, and he asked without warning: "Who gave you the necklace on your neck?"
Qi Leren's cold sweat came down again. In the past few minutes in the field, he had ups and downs, startled and frightened, and his nerves were overly tense, and he became a frightened bird. Just rejoicing that he successfully crossed the sea, and was about to maintain this state and leave quickly, who knew that Su He would come out again.
Fortunately, fortunately, Su He didn't find out.
I didn't realize that when he signed his name for the first time, he actually didn't use any skill cards at all.
Yes, he didn't.
He made a wonderful deduction - he once successfully deceived Su He once, using a prop of unknown origin like a laptop. So this time, under almost exactly the same premise, will Su He still be fooled? Will he believe that he has honestly signed the contract and is ready to fulfill it? In Su He's eyes, he is not an obedient person.
To dispel Su He's suspicion, the best way is to make him feel that he has seen through him, personally dismantled him, watched him suffer, despair, and collapse, and then watched him give in.
So he had a bold plan, and he decided to take a gamble. Then he succeeded.
He was so ecstatic that he had to lower his head to conceal the secret and fanatical joy in his heart, and let that passion explode a firework in his heart.
However, he also had to consider that this decision would bring him great risks in the future—when he was really promoted to the semi-realm, how would he explain to Su He, who had been rejected
This worry slightly dilutes the excitement, and even the last trace of joy is shattered by Su He's sudden question, making Qi Le tremble with fear.
"This breath... is it a prophet?" Su He raised his eyebrows and asked.
Qi Leren didn't say yes or no, he asked instead: "Do you know the prophet?"
As if the two of them could never talk properly, Su He also asked a rhetorical question: "Don't you think that the land of dawn and the land of dusk are too similar?"
Qi Leren stared blankly into the distance. So it turns out that this domain is not the "domain imitating the scenery of the Land of Dawn" as Su He once said, but the real Land of Dawn.
But if the Land of Dawn is a domain, then the Land of Dusk...
The people of Qi Le suddenly understood something. The prophet who slept in the ground of the court and spent most of his time in the cold ice pool turned out to be the Twilight Village that he has silently supported to protect mankind. As a player, he somehow escaped the sanction of time, and survived the mandatory missions for more than 20 years, and survived to this day.
"A naive idealist inherited Maria's will and created a box of time with the belief of protection, freezing the newly established shelter forever under dusk. His original power is 'time'. Originally, he was the one most likely to evade mission sanctions, if he hadn't lost the box." Su He's expression was full of compassionate tenderness.
The original power of the prophet? Qi Le people seem to understand, he knows that some of the high-level demons have original power, such as jealousy, lust, despair... They become more and more powerful as they approach the original power. When they reach the level of the three demon kings, they It has almost merged itself with the original power.
But do domain-level humans like prophets have their own original power
His power, turned out to be time
Qi Leren's heart is full of curiosity and doubts, but Su He has no intention of answering his doubts: "Go, don't use your life to challenge your limits, you will never know what kind of miracles you will create. Although in the process 99.9% of people end up dying, but I sincerely hope you are the exception because I expect something from you."
"Le Ren, today's adventure is just the first step. I'm waiting for the day when you complete your transformation." Su He said.
The bright land of dawn began to become blurred, and even Su He's voice gradually became distant, as if separated by a whole dream.
When Qi Leren came back to his senses, he was still standing in the passageway at the bottom of the research institute, and only a few seconds passed.
It's the fourth day of the game now... No, it's past zero, and it's the fifth day now. It's not yet known whether the army's spaceship will arrive. He has reason to suspect that it may not come too quickly, after all, rescue always It was long overdue when everything was resolved.
Su He said that he had released the tentacle octopus in the underground glacier. It must be more difficult to deal with than the ones he encountered before. He needs to update his equipment, such as the bazooka that Mark used to attack him.
There was this in the arsenal of the research institute, but Qi Le didn't know how to use it, so he didn't take it, so he decided to go back and look for it. In addition, we need to find NPCs that are still alive, and take them to a device that can detect whether they are parasitized for testing. I hope to meet Dr. Lu and Du Yue on the way...
Qi Leren returned to the stairs and began to walk up. When he passed the spare power distribution room, he walked in again and restarted the power supply to restore the power supply to the entire underground research institute.
With the light, this feeling is much better, Qi Leren finally recovered from the frightening meeting just now, stopped thinking about Su He, and concentrated on preparing to face the next challenge. According to the game routine, there must be supplies before the battle. Unfortunately, the dungeon world does not necessarily follow the game routine, so he has to rely on himself. He doesn't want to rashly fight with that terrifying bottom-end boss.
There was a sudden noise from the corner of the power distribution room, Qi Le people looked there suddenly, held a gun in his hand and said loudly: "Who?"
"...It's me." He Yi stood up, his condition looked worse than before, thin and haggard, almost haggard, "Mark came in, I met him!"
Qi Leren was stunned for a moment, and realized that what he said was that Qi Leren wanted to leave the institute through the laser channel before, but He Yi, who had originally agreed with him to cut off the power supply, did not cut off the power supply in time—because at that time, Mark had already moved away from Annie. The rocks in the basement entered the research institute and attacked He Yi.
"I've already dealt with him, as well as Annie, Xue Jiahui and Francis, all four of them were parasitized." Qi Leren said calmly.
He Yi looked at him in astonishment: "How did you do it?"
If it wasn't for the current enemy, Qi Le people would probably continue to use the "messenger of God" to fool him. Unfortunately, now that his Prophet's Heart skill is cooling down, there is no need for him to continue acting. He simply said : "It's a long story, let's talk when you have time, now we are afraid that we are in danger..."
"I know." He Yi leaned wearily against the wall and let out a miserable smile, "It's already come out."
"What?" Qi Leren became nervous.
"That monster..." He Yi looked at the ceiling above his head in despair, like a desperado chasing soldiers behind the cliff, and murmured, "We can't escape."
"You... Do you know something?" Qi Leren finally asked the question that was lingering in his mind.
All along, He Yi's behavior has been a bit strange. Qi Leren didn't think much about it at first, but as the plot discovered, he had to face up to this problem—He Yi, he is an insider.
"Why are there octopuses here? Why did I happen to find a basement when I was kidnapped by Mark? Why did I blow up the passage to enter the research institute but I was safe? Why is the power supply of this research institute that has been closed for many years still working?" Use? Why do I know where there are weapons and how to use equipment? Have you thought about these questions?" He Yi asked dreamily.
