Late at night, Black Dove headquarters.

Joshua had just finished today's update, and Qianmian sent Joshua and Ciri to the headquarters of the Black Dove with a text message of I found a big news.

Qianmian, are you still... abducting and selling children?

As soon as Joshua arrived at Qianmian's office, he saw a little boy dressed in shabby clothes. The boy was about ten years old. He was wearing Leon's favorite knitted hat in This Devil Is Not So Cold.

But Joshua was very concerned about the other party's eyes, which were a kind of pure blue.

There are not a few human beings with blue eyes in this world, but the color of this boy's pupils is so blue that it's a little... abnormal.

I've never done it before! Qianmian refuted Joshua's slander against her.

real?

Qiao Xiu didn't want to believe it. Qiao Xiu knew how chaotic Squirrel Street was before, and Qian Mian was not a soft-hearted ruler. This guy was born as a ruthless killer.

Our black pigeons never take jobs whose targets are children or pregnant women. This is a rule I set. Qian Mian said.

It sounds like it's a setting in it, Qianmian, do you also read that Shadow Chaser?

Hearing what Qian Mian said, Shirley remembered the contents of a book she secretly read in class.

That book was written by my subordinates.

Qianmian felt a little tired inexplicably. Every time she communicated with Qiao Xiu, Qiao Xiu would always say some inexplicable strange words.

If Shirley was added, it would be double the exhaustion, because Shirley would always carry on the topic Joshua raised to another, even stranger field.

Okay, so they are the big news you're talking about?

Qiao Xiu looked at the little boy, who kept looking down at his hands, as if he hadn't noticed Qiao Xiu's arrival at all.

Sitting next to the little boy was a figure covered by a cloak, who should be about ten years old in terms of height.

this.

A pot of gold appeared in Qianmian's hand, and the two of them who had kept their heads down seemed to have some reactions when the pot appeared.

It's just that they still lowered their heads and refused to meet anyone's gaze.

Did you win? Ciri asked.

There are only fifty pots of gold in the world? My luck is not so good, and I have no interest.

As a frontline reporter, Qian Mian can enter Arthur Crowe at will even without this admission ticket, so she doesn't care about it at all.

It was drawn by them, or they found it... One of them has the ability to see through the enchantment inscribed on the tank by the man in gray. Qian Mian told Joshua the bad news.

It's really big news.

Joshua was a little thankful that the black pigeon belonged to his organization, otherwise Qianmian's news alone would have destroyed half of the reputation of Arthur Crowe Amusement Park.

How many people in the world are competing for the pot of gold, and the appearance of cheaters will cause public outrage.

Then who has this ability.

Joshua looked back at the two sitting on the chair. They lowered their heads. After hearing Joshua's voice, one of them trembled slightly.

The one on the right is Lu Qi...

Qianmian didn't have time to finish her sentence at all, her keen perception of magic power made her immediately aware of what magic Lu Qi was about to release.

Even though Qian Mian had already made sufficient preparations, her movements were still a step slower, and Lu Qi released the magic so fast that Qian Mian couldn't react.

Even the best spellcaster must have three steps to release magic, chanting, writing an inscription with magic power, and then releasing it.

Excellent spellcasters can reduce these three steps to about two seconds at a time, but this time is enough for Qianmian to knock those spellcasters to the ground.

But Lu Qi completely omitted these three steps.

Dazzling rays of light overflowed from his body, these rays of light were not aggressive, Qianmian's eyes were temporarily blinded, but she still relied on her intuition to catch Lu Qi.

The moment Qianmian touched Lu Qi, what he touched was not the unique temperature of human skin, but a cold metallic texture of steel.

Lucci!

After Hailan reacted, she shouted in panic, the bright light gradually dimmed, and all this happened in a flash.

Ciri, are you alright?

Joshua felt that his eyes were still a little stinging, but Shirley rubbed his eyes and quickly recovered.

Is there anyone who is proficient in such a despicable magic as glare?

Ciri's voice didn't sound like it was the first time she had experienced such a scene of being suddenly stimulated by bright light.

It's not human... Qian Mian's voice also rang in Qiao Xiu's ears. When Qiao Xiu looked at the figure that Qian Mian's subordinates were holding down again, his thoughts froze briefly.

The existence named Lu Qi is not a boy or a girl, but a magical doll, a doll so exquisite that it is absolutely impossible to create with the current human magic technology.

A large number of inscriptions can be faintly seen flowing on the metal skin on its surface, and dim blue light overflows from the neck and chest, and a special magic power overflows from the gaps in its joints.

Relic?

The first thing that came to Joshua's mind was the remains of Nolan's underground ruins.

Don't touch him!

Hailan ran to Qianmian's side and knocked Qianmian's arm with his fist, but the boy's strength was too weak to break through Qianmian's defense at all.

Qianmian, let go of it. Qiao Xiu immediately said to Qianmian.

Qianmian obediently let go of Lu Qi's restraint. This magic doll's movements were so sensitive that it was beyond Qiao Xiu's imagination. After standing up from the ground, it immediately ran behind Hailan.

Relax. Qiao Xiu came to the two of them slowly, but Hai Lan's eyes were still full of vigilance towards Qiao Xiu.

Aren't you human?

This sentence was said by Hai Lan. After staring at Qiao Xiu for a long time, he suddenly said this sentence.

Interesting... This is the first time my identity has been identified by someone outside the Kingdom of the Holy Cult. I'm right, I'm a Demon Race... a Chaos Demon Race. Qiao Xiu said.

Demon Race...

He seemed to remember something, and lowered his head a little uneasy.

That magic doll is your younger brother? Joshua asked tentatively.

Luki is not a magic doll! He has a human soul.

Hailan raised his head again and stubbornly refuted Qiao Xiu, but at this moment his eyes saw Ciri behind Qiao Xiu, and he saw Ciri's performance was far more fearful than when he was facing Qianmian, even The magic puppet named Luki behind him also kept retreating because of Ciri's approach.

Seeing their performance, Joshua suddenly understood...Lu Qi's attempt to escape just now might not be because Qian Mian pointed his target at him, but because he discovered Ciri's existence.

Possess a human soul?

Qiao Xiu glanced at the magic doll. The performance of this magic doll just now cannot be described as 'it' anyway. He has his own consciousness and emotion.

Has the civilization under Nolan developed to the level where artificial intelligence can be produced? Or... there is indeed a human soul in the body of this magic doll?

Joshua had too many questions at this moment, but the first thing to ask them all was to let them settle down.

This thing still belongs to you. Qiao Xiu took the pot of gold from Qianmian's hand, and put it in front of them. You just need to answer me a few questions, how about I let you go?
