Welcome to Nightmare Game III

Curiosity literally kills the cat!

Xiao Xiao, who was following Mr. Qi, suddenly felt that the murals on the wall in the corridor looked a little different in the dark than in the daytime. She reached out her hand curiously to touch the burnt marks on it, and suddenly felt a puff on her fingertips. Real heat is burning.

She withdrew her fingers in panic, but when she turned around, she saw that the corridor in front of her was burning!The black figure ran in the fire, laughing hysterically, and she suddenly realized that it was the voice of arsonist fanatics.

In the middle of the fire, she yelled "Mr. Qi", and the flames in front of her rushed towards her. The roiling heat wave made her respiratory tract feel hot and unbearable. She took two steps back in a panic, and ran back.

She didn't have time to think about why the fire broke out suddenly, and she didn't have time to think about where Mr. Qi went. She rushed out of the mural corridor instinctively, and fled into the silent darkness in panic.

Then she saw a light in the small door not far away. It was a stairway leading to the tower. She had followed Fu Yue here during the day.

Someone is inside, could it be a fanatic?

Xiao Xiao cautiously took two steps back, and there was no one around, she was looking for a place to hide.

Inside the dark door, the light became brighter and brighter, and the sound of stepping down the wooden steps became more and more clear. A well-dressed young man appeared in the light, and the light came from the exquisite but elegant lamp in his hand. Old kerosene lamp.

He was exceptionally handsome, and the night watchman's long dress commonly used in all major parishes was draped over his shoulders, as if he was wearing a cloak casually. He didn't wear it warmly, but he didn't care.Holding the lamp, he saw the dazed Xiaoxiao at a glance, and showed her a gentle smile.

He asked politely, his voice was like a melodious serenade under the moonlit night: "Are you lost, Miss?"

Xiaoxiao was in a trance for a moment. She had seen many people with superior looks. Not to mention others, Mr. Qi was very good-looking, but whether it was a man or a woman, she had never felt such a strong sense of shock from others. This kind of abyss-like attraction makes people unable to think.

"The back is on fire, and there are fanatics." She said with a blank mind, "You should run too."

The handsome man smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter anymore, look."

Only then did Xiao Xiao regain the feeling of her body, she turned her head, the corridor with the murals was quiet when she came here, everything was the same as before, there was no fire, no crazy believers, but there was no Mr. Qi either.

"That... what?" she asked.

"The phantom of this refuge's past remains in the mural, and you accidentally awakened it." The man explained in a gentle and polite tone.

Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that such strange things often happen in the nightmare world. If she is unlucky, she might be directly involved in the dungeon mission of the main world just now. Is it a simple D-level mission or a super-difficult S-level mission? By luck.

Fortunately, she was lucky.

"Are you also here to explore?" Once the crisis was resolved, her little curiosity returned. Although she still didn't dare to look directly at this overly handsome man, she couldn't help but talk to him.

"I'm here to revisit the old place, and I'm also here to visit the old people." He said, his eyes resting softly on Xiao Xiao's body.

Each of his words was pronounced clearly, but there was a buzzing sound in her little brain. She could hear it clearly, but she didn't seem to hear it clearly. She didn't think about his answer in any effective way. Nodding foolishly.

The man smiled at her, turned around and hung the lantern in his hand on the wall, and adjusted the size of the flame.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong, she couldn't even figure out where this strange feeling came from, a mysterious inspiration sent a sharp warning sound deep in her consciousness.

She activated [Troublesome Mind Reading Girl].

In the flashing picture, all her senses were blank - she "saw" a huge goldfish swimming slowly in a dark green aurora, it was powerful, deep and terrifyingly huge, she The cognitive world of hers has been lost to perception by this astonishing size, and the countless messy fragments poured into her brain are vigorously stirring in her mind.

She saw the goldfish, but couldn't understand the goldfish.Did the goldfish see her?Perhaps, goldfish cannot see her, just as humans cannot see the ubiquitous microbes in water droplets with the naked eye.

Her perspective suddenly retreated, and after a moment, she was like a child squatting in front of a round goldfish bowl and peeking in curiously, seeing the goldfish distorted by the light refraction behind the glass.

The goldfish's eyes gazed at her, and she gazed at the fish in the tank.

It was no longer huge, and she was no longer small, and they saw each other.

When the impossible became possible, fear, ambition, greed, and malice grew wildly at this moment. She suddenly longed to reach into the goldfish bowl, catch the goldfish, and then swallow it in one gulp.

There was a chuckle in the picture, and everything she saw fell apart in an instant, Xiaoxiao took a step back, holding on to the wall so as not to fall to the ground.

That was something she had never read.

The man turned around and looked at her with a look of interest in his eyes: "Is this the ability to read people's hearts? It's really interesting."

Her little lips were pale, and her face was also pale. She was covered in cold sweat, and she instinctively apologized: "...I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize?" He asked softly, "Isn't it a matter of course to satisfy one's curiosity?"

Yeah, isn't it a matter of course?Xiao Xiao thought in a trance.

Suddenly there was a slight burning sensation on the earrings, and Xiao Xiao suddenly woke up: No, this is not a matter of course!

"I'm sorry." Xiao Xiao said again, this time she took a step back, "I did something very rude."

The man stood in the dim light, staring at her with a smile, his dark eyes were pure by the night: "When humans curiously poured hot water into the ant nest, they never thought that it would be rude to the ants. Politeness is a virtue, but it is a virtue exclusive to the strong. People can show politeness to ants: it is polite to observe quietly, it is polite to turn a blind eye, and it is supreme polite to present a cube of sugar, but ants cannot treat people Politeness, for they have no right to politeness."

Ants that pass by human beings are rude, ants that appear near food are rude, and ants that climb onto human bodies are even more unforgivably rude.Polite humans ignore it, impolite humans run it over, without asking why they do it, they just do it.

It is a free will that will not be condemned.

Once again, Xiaoxiao fell into that unthinkable chaos. She listened to the mysterious man in front of her expounding a completely different value: "Compared to politeness, I appreciate your curiosity more. During the long journey of human beings to the top of the food chain On the road, what you rely on is never politeness, but this kind of always curious attitude. Only this curious instinct will give people insight into the truth of the world. So you don’t need to apologize for this, you should be proud of it. You can Be curious to your heart's content, then explore, and finally understand all the secrets you want to know, this is your right."

Xiaoxiao was fascinated by this new interpretation, only the dying voice in the depths of her consciousness forced her to ask a question: "Even if my curiosity hurts others, is it okay?"

The handsome man stared at her tenderly, with an elegant and polite voice: "You can be polite to ants, but you don't have to be polite forever."

Xiao Xiao slowly chewed this sentence, she smelled the breath of freedom and madness, as if as long as she said "you are right", the shackles that bound her would be burned by the flames of hell in an instant, and since then she It's no longer Xin Xiaoxiao, but...

Burning pain came from the earrings again, and Xiao Xiao covered her ears, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water from head to toe.

What is she thinking about?Didn't she just promise Mr. Qi to control his abilities and not be seduced by them?

She raised her head in fear, and looked at the handsome man standing in the moonlight. Who is this person who is seducing her?

The man sighed softly: "It's a pity, I really want to continue discussing the nature of power with you, but the person I'm waiting for has already arrived."

"Xiao Xiao, come to me!" In the darkness, Qi Leren's voice suddenly sounded, waking Xiao Xiao up like a thunder.

She woke up like a dream, and ran over like a rabbit: "Mr. Qi, are you okay?"

Qi Leren patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, and blocked the relieved Xiaoxiao behind her.

He looked at the familiar stranger awe-inspiringly. Three years later, Su He was still the same Su He.Behind the flawless face, polite demeanor and demagogic words, lies a dangerous swamp that can sink people in the blink of an eye.He is an accomplished hunter, patiently luring his prey to reveal themselves before delivering the killing blow.

He is a clever, cunning, and manipulative monster.Beneath the ultimate elegance is a creepy indifference and indifference.

Qi Leren was unexpectedly calm in his heart. He imagined seeing Su He again many times, maybe in a dungeon, when that mysterious laptop appeared, or on an ordinary night, Su He knocked on his door as if visiting a friend.

He always comes prepared with ulterior motives.

As for the purpose...

"What are you doing here?" Qi Leren asked bluntly.

"I just happen to be free recently, so I came to see you." Su He's tone seemed to be that of an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, "Compared to three years ago, this place has changed a lot."

Qi Leren thought a lot for a moment, but he didn't follow Su He's words, but showed a sneering smile, and adjusted his speech skills to turn from defense to offense: "It seems that you are in trouble in the devil world. "

He knew very well that everything Su He did must have a purpose. He appeared here today—whether it was an avatar or a projection, there must be a reason.The biggest possibility is that he and Quanquan had trouble with Ning Zhou, so he wanted to change a breakthrough, from him.

Su He smiled gently, and said in a calm tone: "A trouble that won't last long is not a trouble."

Qi Leren didn't save him any face: "If that's the case, you wouldn't be here at all."

Su He chuckled, looked at him approvingly, and acquiesced to his words: "By the way, I'll convey some news that they don't want to tell you."

He was referring to Ning Zhou and Aya, Qi Leren lowered his eyes: "I'm not interested, you can just get out."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Su He's mouth: "If you really don't want to hear it, you should fight with me now. After all, this is your Twilight Hometown now."

Qi Leren made a "please" gesture: "Then don't waste time."

Su He showed a triumphant smile: "I heard that you are preparing to condense your avatar? Then hurry up, he can't wait for you for too long."

At this moment, killing intent flashed in Qi Leren's eyes, and the power of Twilight Land that was mobilized secretly has already alarmed the illusionist and Si Lin, and they will appear here soon.

But it didn't make sense, he had already seen the truth of the person standing in front of him - it was just a trivial projection.

Qi Leren looked at him, and asked bitterly: "Does she know you're here?"

He's talking about the Power Demon.

Su He made a silent gesture, and said in a gentle tone: "Then don't tell her, and treat this as a little secret between us."

This seemed to imply that their conversation today was a secret, but the people of Qi Le had already seen through the truth, and it was meaningless to tell the Demon King of Power. Su He would never leave such an obvious opening, or the two of them came to see him. People's collusion, or Su He is 100% sure to explain it clearly afterwards.

"As a reward for keeping the secret for you, you can also answer a question for me." Qi Leren suggested in a relaxed tone.

"Happy to help." Su He said.

"The fortuneteller, Celia and Cole, who is yours?" Qi Le asked, looking directly into Su He's eyes.

Su He showed a meaningful smile: "Single-choice question? Then I choose D, all of the above."

Qi Leren also smiled: "Oh, thank you for your answer, I can fully feel your sincerity."

As if Su He couldn't hear the sarcasm in his tone, he said politely: "It's my honor to answer your questions. I'm also happy to provide you with some news about the devil world—the kind that is not pretentious."

Qi Leren didn't want to hear another word. He looked at the time and asked coldly, "Are you still leaving? Or do you want to chat with your two senior brothers?"

Su He opened the pocket watch hanging on his chest, and glanced at the time: "It's time to leave. If it's because of me, it's too rude to beat this place into a mess."

Qi Leren looked at the pocket watch in his hand coldly, without saying a word.

"Then, I'm leaving. I wish you a happy night." Su He put his hands on his chest, and saluted him and Xiao Xiaowei, "I also wish you a good night, little lady."

In the sky outside the window, a dark cloud rolled over the moon, and the moonlight disappeared in this peaceful sanctuary, and Su He’s figure also disappeared into the silent night like this moonlight—the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall went out.

All gone without a trace.

With a loud bang, the door of the refuge was kicked open.

The illusionist's angry voice sounded: "Where are people?"

Qi Leren turned his head: "I was afraid of being beaten up by you, so I ran away."

The illusionist became more and more angry, he cursed a few words in a low voice, and Si Lin, who was walking behind him, looked around the shelter: "The current defense system of Twilight Village, it's not so easy for him to come and go, so it's a projection? "

Qi Le went to the place where Su He appeared, and checked the kerosene lamp: "The projection attached to the object. Someone slipped into the shelter and hung this kerosene lamp here. This person may not know about it." What is it……"

Xiaoxiao said weakly: "I read in Reporter Xun's mind just now that he brought this kerosene lamp. His superior at the newspaper office asked him to hang the lamp here, saying it was a A prop that is said to be able to attract ghosts, which is conducive to the fermentation of haunted rumors."

Qi Leren raised his eyebrows: "So that's it. It seems that he should be locked up for ten days and a half months. By the way, search the newspaper office carefully, and you should be able to find out many demon believers."

The illusionist grinned grimly: "Leave the newspaper office to me."

Qi Leren nodded, and briefly explained what happened before.

Xiao Xiao stared blankly at the three of them. She hadn't figured out the situation yet. The conversation between that person and Mr. Qi just now made her feel that there was something in every sentence, but she couldn't understand it.All she could hear was that the man seemed to be from the demon world, standing opposite to Mr. Qi, was he a demon?But Mr. Qi also mentioned that he seems to be Si Lin and the illusionist's younger brother?Was he also a student of the Prophet?That person was too dangerous. Thinking back to the state of being completely bewitched just now, I felt a little scared for a while.

"Xiao Xiao, what did he say to you before I came?" Qi Leren asked.

Xiao Xiao said everything, including the goldfish she saw in the aurora, and the details of the person walking down from the tower.

Qi Leren frowned when he heard this: "I'll go up and have a look."

The illusionist let out a "fuck" and followed quickly.

Xiao Xiao was confused for a while, and finally followed Si Lin up the tower.

In the tower that I visited during the day, everything was still the same, only the bouquet of flowers on the chair was gone, replaced by a box of beautifully packaged cakes, exuding a sweet smell in the moonlight.

The guy put the cake on the chair?But why?Little puzzled.

In the dead silence, Qi Leren snapped his fingers, and the cake and the seat were reduced to ashes.

"Since he's here, he may not only be here. Just in case, go back to the underground ice palace to see how Xiaozhi is doing." Qi Leren said decisively.

The illusionist pulled Xiao Xiao up: "You also come with me."

Xiao Xiao asked nervously, "Me?"

The illusionist looked at her deeply: "Read another person's heart for me."
