Qi Leren woke up. When he woke up, he felt so tired that he didn't even want to open his eyes. He just wanted to let the heavy drowsiness drag him down and let him continue to sleep peacefully.
But he vaguely felt that something was wrong, he should have been leaning against the rock wall, but now the thing on the back of his head was not as sharp as the rock wall, and why did he feel like he was lying down...
Qi Leren woke up with fright, opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately saw Ning Zhou sitting by the rock wall.
The positions of the two of them just changed at some point, and it turned out that he was resting on Ning Zhou's lap, and the blanket was covering himself, while Ning Zhou was resting on the rock wall with his eyes closed. The moment he woke up, Ning Zhou also opened his eyes, but there was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes.
"Why don't you rest for a while?" Qi Leren sat up quickly and asked worriedly.
Ning Zhou shook his head: "I've had enough sleep."
Qi Leren looked at the time and saw that eight hours had passed.
Now that they were all awake, the Qi Le people simply took out the picnic props from Chen Baiqi out of the props column, and lit a fire to cook some hot food for Ning Zhou. Throwing a piece of devil crystal into a container filled with water, the water was immediately heated to boiling by the energy in the devil crystal, then put the pot on it and started heating things, skillfully cooked the noodles.
While cooking, Qi Leren talked about what happened when the two parted, and when Chen Baiqi gave him special training, his face was full of pain: "... when I was chased by a dog, I was very desperate. I don’t know when I’m going to live such a life, I can’t wait to jump into the sea and never come up again.”
After speaking, Qi Leren felt that this was inappropriate, and added: "Of course, the training effect is still very good, otherwise I would have died in the last mission."
After finishing speaking, Qi Leren felt that he was mentally retarded again. Shouldn't we talk about some light-hearted topics when we reunite after a long absence? Why did his IQ plummet when he was in front of Ning Zhou
Sure enough, Ning Zhou showed a worried look.
"Hey, it's nothing, am I fine?" Qi Leren quickly changed the subject, "Where's your big black bird?"
Yu Ying was released from the pet bag by Ning Zhou, and began to shake his fur as soon as he came out. He got the [lovely ration] fed by Qi Le people, and swallowed it in one gulp.
After the noodles were cooked, the two ate the hot noodles and continued talking after eating.
None of them are good at expressing their feelings, and they even have a natural shyness about love. The two tacitly avoided the topic of love, as if they had forgotten why they were here after the night. Ning Zhou didn't say anything about his joy after learning that Qi Leren had come back from the dead, and Qi Leren didn't say anything about him. The love hidden in my heart. But inexplicably, at this moment, the two of them had a kind of intuition that they knew each other.
They observed carefully, and their hearts beat faster even when they accidentally touched their fingers. Several times when Qi Le people spoke, they couldn't express their meaning, but Ning Zhou didn't notice it, and just nodded aside.
"Aren't you curious, how do I know you're here?" Qi Leren asked. Ning Zhou didn't even know about the resurrection of the Qi Le people, because the letter could only be sent to the transfer station in the underground Ant City, and Ning Zhou went to Purgatory after writing the letter, and never went to pick it up.
Ning Zhou nodded. He was really curious, how did the people of Qi Le recognize that it was his when they saw the huge dragon in the lake of fire
"Actually, it's a bit complicated to say... When I was in the real... er, the world I lived in, I downloaded a game called "Nightmare Game" on my laptop." Qi Leren thought about his words and prepared to start from the beginning. But he choked up at the beginning, "This...what is a laptop computer may be a bit complicated to explain..."
Qi Leren suddenly thought that, as a person born in the nightmare world, Ning Zhou might not even know what it was.
"I know." Ning Zhou said, with a smile in his eyes, "I did the dungeon mission in your era."
"Really? How does it feel?" Qi Leren cheered up and asked curiously.
"At that time, I needed to make a call with my mobile phone, and I looked at it for a long time." Ning Zhou said.
Qi Leren let out a "puchi" laugh, and Ning Zhou also laughed: "At that time, I really didn't know anything. When I saw the gas stove, I thought about where the devil crystal was installed. As for the computer, I can't even figure it out, I guess it's an alchemy product."
Qi Leren was overjoyed, and laughed for a long time before asking: "Then did you learn everything later?"
Ning Zhou nodded.
"Have you ever played computer games?" Qi Leren asked again.
"Well, I like minesweeping." Ning Zhou said with a serious and sincere expression.
To finish, can Ning Zhou, who likes minesweeping and probably only played the game that comes with the computer, understand the nightmare game he is talking about? Qi Leren became deeply worried. But the worry is nothing to worry about, Qi Le people still try to describe the matter in easy-to-understand sentences, from entering Novice Village after playing the game, to seeing the laptop again and getting the Easter Egg in the Cry of the Castle, and finally talking all the way to In the last mission, he learned about Ning Zhou's accident in advance through the game on his laptop - of course he didn't say that he broke his hand and almost died, he didn't want Ning Zhou to worry.
Qi Leren comforted: "In my eyes, no matter what power you use, I believe you will only use it to protect the world."
Ning Zhou looked at him deeply, with complicated emotions beyond words.
What is the end of power? While chasing the elusive mystery, those with power are destined to move closer to it, and the closer they get, the more they will lose themselves. Before achieving the half domain, this feeling is not very strong, but after reaching the half domain, every step after that is getting closer to the original.
But in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Once people have hope, even if it is only a little bit, they don't want to close their eyes in a hurry.
He will watch his light until the day he has to perish.

The way back to the underground ant city was surprisingly smooth. Qi Le people thought that the dense guard posts before would bring them trouble, but he didn't expect that the guarding demons disappeared without a trace, which made him feel very confused.
"When I came here, there were many guards here, but now they have withdrawn." Qi Leren wondered.
Ning Zhou glanced back at the sentry post he had already passed, thoughtfully.
"The martial law in and out of Purgatory was because of you?" Qi Leren asked.
"Maybe it's because of the Killing Demon King." Ning Zhou changed the subject calmly, "I heard that the lake of fire began to have frequent visions a month ago, and even broke out once. According to the background of the task, the consciousness of the Killing Demon King It has broken free from the seal."
"That's it..." Qi Leren was stunned, but he didn't say it, but followed Ning Zhou's words, "Speaking of this, the second link of the mission requires us to 'destroy the killing devil and get three points for destroying the devil One of the authority', but now there is no clue."
Ning Zhou let out a "huh" with an unnatural expression.
Ning Zhou is really not good at lying. People from Qi Le can't see that he has something on his mind. When he got in touch with what the demon intelligence businessman said before, "the old department of the Destroyer Demon King haunts the lake of fire", he inevitably had some associations.
These demons are probably looking for Ning Zhou who has inherited the power of destruction.
Don't expose it for now, let him think about it again, Qi Le people don't want to put more pressure on Ning Zhou, he just wants to make Ning Zhou's life easier.
"Well... let's go back to the underground ant city first. I left too hastily. I didn't ask the illusionist when he planned to return to Twilight Town. Let's go back with him. What do you think?" Qi Leren asked.
"Okay." Ning Zhou said.
"Okay, okay, let's go." Yu Ying flew over from behind with a flutter, landed on Qi Leren's shoulder and pecked at his ear.
Qi Leren had no choice but to touch it, and was kicked on the nose and asked for food. Ning Zhou glanced at it coldly, and Yuying muttered, "It's really stingy", and flapped its wings and flew away.
"Don't get used to it too much." Ning Zhou said.
Qi Leren lowered his head and smiled, suddenly on a whim, his right hand quietly held Ning Zhou's left hand, Ning Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then held his hand instead, trembling a little.
One of the two looked at the fluorescent plants on the rock wall on the left, and the other looked at the fluorescent noctuids on the rock wall on the right. They walked forward without a word, only the chaotic heartbeat and the sweetness flowing in their hearts secretly announced the two people's love for each other. tacit understanding.
Qi Leren's thinking is as messy as a fallen leaf blown by the wind. For a while, he wonders if he should take the initiative, and for a while, he feels that he may not be able to adapt to the too modern way of love with Ning Zhou's upbringing environment. Finally, he reviews himself desperately Why didn't a good young man talk about a few more loves and accumulate experiences in his student days, so that now he looks like a high school student with his first love... The object is still a junior high school student who is more ignorant than him.
If you want to be "not suitable for children", you have to get married first, so do you have to get engaged before kissing? Go buy an engagement ring when you get back to Twilight Town... Hey, I'm penniless, it seems that I have to do a mission to earn some days to survive, I can't take the sapphire ring that Ning Zhou left in front of his tombstone Let's make up the numbers, shall we
Before seeing Ning Zhou, he was thinking about Ning Zhou all day long. After seeing Ning Zhou, instead of resting his head, he thought more and more...
The two of them held hands as if no one was there, and on the way back to the underground ant city after leaving purgatory, they boarded a "train". For the rail car, Qi Leren and Ning Zhou put on cloaks, sat side by side, and returned to the underground ant city.
However, the accident still happened.
"What, the illusionist is missing?" Qi Leren asked in shock.
The contact person of Twilight Village in the underground ant city is a young woman named Celia, dressed in the style of the underground ant city, she nodded solemnly: "Yes, the day after you left , the illusionist took the oracle's handbook to meet the Dragon Ant Queen, and never came back."
