The exploded brains flowed all over the ground mixed with dirty blood, and the bloody smell soaring into the sky was disgusting.
Ning Zhou stood in a pool of blood, his gloomy expression did not fluctuate at all.
In fact, he didn't do anything. All he did was to tear off Madam Catherine's enchantment with the sword of judgment, and then stood still and used the coercion of demons to frighten these low-level demons. Under the impression, the demonic power in these low-level demons was disordered, and the low-level demons who could not control the demonic power blew up their heads one after another like over-inflated balloons.
Headshot corpses fell on the ground, blood was still dripping from the incomplete skulls, brains and blood were sprayed everywhere on the ground, walls, and sofas, making this originally neat living room look like a living room. slaughterhouse.
Mrs. Catherine was still kneeling on the ground, trembling, not daring to raise her head at all. Now she only hoped to save her life.
This bloody scene stunned Qi Le people.
Although he was confident before that Ning Zhou should be able to handle this enchantment, but he didn't expect...
Standing in a pool of blood, Ning Zhou was like a demon king descended into the world. His eyes looked blankly ahead, but his vision seemed to have already penetrated the wall and looked towards an unknown place. He never said a word, silent as before, this kind of bloody silence left a gloomy mark on his handsome face, and let Qi Leren keenly capture his emotions—Ning Zhou is not happy .
Even, his heart is painful.
This kind of power is a kind of torture to him.
He is not happy even when he is doing righteous deeds with evil power. Because this power lures him to the abyss of evil all the time.
"Let's go, hand her over to the people in the court." Qi Leren stepped forward and touched Ning Zhou with his arm, and said softly.
Only then did Ning Zhou recover from the long silence and nodded.
The whole way of leaving was silent. Qi Le people contacted Celia, the liaison person in the Ant City, the underground ant city of the trial. The informant who came to investigate, fortunately, the informant was still alive, but he was imprisoned in a private prison and suffered a lot.
The gambler who claimed to have seen the illusionist was dead, out of high gambling debts. Just like what Qi Leren and Ning Zhou saw in this underground casino, it was even worse than that, all the usable parts of his body were removed, and even the blood was drained.
So for the time being, they couldn't figure out why the illusionist appeared here.
Back at the stronghold of the Trial Office in the underground Ant City, Qi Leren talked with his contact Celia about the current situation, and planned to take Ning Zhou back to the Twilight Village after confirming the safety of the illusionist.
In the working state, Celia, the liaison of the trial office in the underground ant city, is a very capable woman who works in an orderly manner, and can handle the follow-up troubles of this underground casino under the condition of insufficient manpower. Although she was obviously curious about the relationship between Qi Leren and Ning Zhou, she didn't ask a word about things she shouldn't have asked, and turned a blind eye to the gesture of the two holding hands all the time.
"This underground casino is just the tip of the iceberg of the underground ant city. Gambling, prostitution, and drugs in the lower city form a huge chain of interests. Standing behind are some high-level demons. To them, the human beings here And the lower demons are nothing but slaves without brand marks." Celia frowned in disgust, "The Dragon Ant Queen this time has really neglected the management of this place."
"What are these people thinking when they are gambling?" Qi Leren couldn't understand at all.
"What dominates them is greedy desires, and... greedy witches." Celia said, "As far as I know, the behind-the-scenes owners of most of the underground casinos here are greedy witches, just like the owners of brothels. Like a lust witch, this is also an arena for them to compete for power."
Qi Le people seem to understand, his cognition of "power" is still not out of the concept that ordinary humans can understand, even though he has broken his shell, and even touched a higher level, but he has not condensed half. Domain, he still doesn't know much about the power of "rebirth" in him. When the matter here is over, he must ask Chen Baiqi and the Prophet when he returns to the Twilight Township.
Celia added: "The letter asking for instructions has been sent, but it may be next week until the court responds."
"That's fine, let's wait another week." The Qi Le people thought about the safety of the illusionist and decided to stay for another week. Anyway, now that Ning Zhou's people have been found, he is not in a hurry.
The matter was settled like this, and Celia commanded the staff skillfully to interrogate Mrs. Catherine. The Qi Le people who were sitting on the sofa suddenly thought of something: "You remember to ask her, when I came to the underground ants with her where is the son of the city now?"
Qi Leren has a subtle intuition, and he can't tell it himself, but it's always right to be vigilant.
Celia flipped through Mrs. Catherine's information: "Okay, I will ask someone to add this to the interrogation content. You guys rest first, I have prepared the room for you."
The room is a private suite with two bedrooms separated by only one wall. The shared living room also has a beautiful small terrace where you can see the underground river in the underground ant city. Judging from the arrangement of the room, the liaison officer of the Inquisition Office stationed in the underground Ant City is a very careful and cautious person, and has a kind of tactful integrity.
Qi Leren has been mentally overloaded recently, but the monthly mandatory task has been delayed to the point where it can no longer be delayed, so after dinner, he greeted Ning Zhou and went to complete this month's mandatory task—for a For those who have already glimpsed the original power, the mandatory tasks for novices are too simple to describe.
It was only ten o'clock in the evening after completing this month's mandatory tasks. Qi Leren, who was physically and mentally exhausted, thought he could have a good night's sleep, but he was still haunted by nightmares. Various death scenes appeared in his dreams over and over again, forcing him to look back on the past. One tragic death after another. After experiencing the copy of the star death reality show, the death method he experienced has some new tricks. The terrifying laser net is really a psychological shadow, and when he finally fought with Leviathan, he fell into the high altitude of the ice abyss , and innovated the horror level of nightmares.
In a burst of weightlessness and nervous pain from falling, Qi Leren sat up from the bed suddenly, gasping for breath. When he realized, his back was soaked in cold sweat, and the position of his temple was It was still throbbing, the same frequency as the heart beat, but each beat brought cramping pain.
Qi Leren picked up the water glass next to the bed and filled half of it with cold water, only then did he calm himself down from the extreme panic.
It's over, I'm going to lose sleep again.
Qi Leren took out the sleeping pills and was about to fall asleep on the pills, but the pills stopped when they reached his mouth.
It is not a good thing to take medicine to fall asleep, and it is better not to do it unless it is absolutely necessary. Qi Leren swallowed the temptation to take medicine for a good night's sleep, got out of bed in fatigue, and prepared to go to the balcony to blow some air, soothe his mood, and slowly adjust his state to fall asleep by himself.
Open the bedroom door, in front of you is the living room with no lights on, and at the end of the living room is an open terrace. Behind the veil blown by the night wind, there is a figure standing upright, standing on the terrace with his back facing him.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ning Zhou turned around and met Qi Leren's sight.
Neither of them spoke. In the gentle evening wind, the unexpected encounter in the middle of the night was as beautiful as a dream from another world.
Qi Leren walked over quickly and stood beside Ning Zhou, looking at the underground river in the distance. There are several lighted boats floating on the river, floating up and down with the calm water waves, the surrounding streets are lit with night lights, and there are humans and demons among the sparse pedestrians, they walk silently in their own way. On the road, he is indifferent to everything around him.
But Qi Le was caring, he was thinking about the silent man beside him, and he could feel the unrest in his heart.
"Let's talk." Qi Leren said to him.
"What are you talking about?" Ning Zhou asked him.
"Anything is fine." After Qi Leren finished speaking, he felt that he had not fulfilled the responsibility of leading the topic, so he started another topic temporarily, "After I was resurrected, I saw your mother again, Ms. Maria."
Seeing Ning Zhou's focused eyes, Qi Leren thought about his choice of words, and then said: "Later, I learned something about her and the Destroyer Demon King by chance... Speaking of which, hasn't she mentioned it to you before?" ?”
Ning Zhou shook his head: "She chose to send me to Neverland because she hoped that I would never know."
Perhaps the holy nun had already foreseen such a cruel possibility that one day she and the child of the Destroyer Demon King would walk on the same path as his father, so she cut off this path from the very beginning and guided him to use the method of the Holy See Congeal the half-field that doesn't match his original power. If there was no such accident as Qi Leren, Ning Zhou would have walked on the clouds all his life, he would have fought demons, and lived his life with peace and contentment in his heart.
"She doesn't actually hate him." Ning Zhou said.
Qi Le could also vaguely feel it.
"She said that he is a lost person." Ning Zhou looked at the lights in the distance, and the lights were reflected in his eyes, and the ethereal and flickering light had a soul because of his pair of beautiful eyes. The light that burst out in pain and despair illuminated his soul.
Qi Leren was almost infatuated, he suddenly wanted to kiss those beautiful blue eyes.
"Maybe one day, I will also get lost, like him, step by step to hell. If there is a day... I will be enough in hell." Ning Zhou said calmly, at this moment he suddenly I felt something called "fate". It used to be cruel, and it will become more cruel.
Qi Leren, who was stunned, asked him: "What about me?"
Ning Zhou turned his face to look at him, and said in a low voice, "I hope you can always stand in the sun."
Qi Leren's nasal cavity was sour, and the lights in front of him suddenly blurred. It's always like this, this person always wants to protect him in every possible way, and he also wants to protect the world. He is too gentle and kind, and the world treats him so cruelly, but he doesn't know what resentment is. Don't want to vent. Even if he falls into hell one day, he doesn't want to take anyone away with him, even the one he loves.
He would rather bear the pain and loneliness alone, and go to destruction silently alone.
"Then let me tell you, I don't want to." Qi Leren said with a sob.
Just when Ning Zhou was in a daze, Qi Leren hugged him.
"Listen well, I don't care if you are a human or a demon, I don't care if your power is destruction or anything else, I don't care if I stand in the sun or not. Only you, Ning Zhou, only you are the one thing I must never lose ,do you understand?"
Ning Zhou didn't answer, he hesitated for a moment, then gently and carefully hugged Qi Leren's back, feeling the person in his arms hug him even harder, so he also hugged him tightly.
It's like embracing the only salvation in the world.
