Welcome to Nightmare Game III

"Martial law has been fully implemented. Within three days, the Twilight Township is only allowed to enter and not to leave. No one can leave this field. Illusionist, you lead a team to hunt down the members of the "Twilight Daily", arrest them all, and review them one by one. How did the lamp with the projection of the Deceitful Demon King flow into the Twilight Village?" Si Lin said.

In the evening, in the meeting room on the top floor, the three principals of the court held a small meeting overnight and arranged things in an orderly manner.

Qi Le rubbed his coffee cup filled with half a cup of black coffee, recalled what happened tonight, and said seriously: "The internal staff of the court should also be strictly investigated, especially the suspects on the list. The visit of the fraud king is absolutely not Just to give me a word, he must be planning something secretly... The only thing that is certain now is that the situation in the Demon Realm has changed."

The illusionist frowned, and asked the question he was most worried about: "How is the situation in the Demon Realm?"

"Do you want to listen to the truth?" Qi Leren asked.

At this moment, the eyes of Si Lin and the illusionist became awe-inspiring.

"To be honest, I don't know either." Qi Leren sipped his coffee and said calmly, "I received news that everything is normal, but no one explained to me why it is normal. No one told me why The last demon king who destroyed the origin went completely insane within a year, but he...he has been three years."

This is the question of all insiders, and it is also a question that is destined not to be answered.

"Can't you see him?" The illusionist pointed to the coffee cup. He knew the function of Hrisvato white coffee.

Qi Leren took a deep look at him: "So what? I will only see what he wants me to see."

In the past, he thought that longing was unstoppable, but now he knows that people can even restrain longing.

Ning Zhou would never let him see him struggling in the abyss of destruction, just like he would never let Ning Zhou see him when he was at his most embarrassing, weakest and most broken.

Every night when he tossed and turned and kept his eyes open until dawn, in the empty office where the ashtrays were filled with cigarette butts, when he was enduring the pain to clean up the pollution in the semi-domain, he could always force himself not to think about Ning Zhou .

If he misses, maybe Ning Zhou, who is sipping white coffee, will see it.

He would only let himself think about it quietly when everything was fine, and he believed that Ning Zhou would do the same.

In these long three years, in the thoughts of Hrisvato White Coffee, Ning Zhou, who conquered most of the devil world in the endless battle, has not been injured once - this unreasonable and beautiful vision can only be An elaborate white lie.

Just because he didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Behind the veil invisible to their lovers, they both hurt and shed tears.

By the time the curtain of longing was lifted, they already knew that everything was fine.

"So you have to go." Si Lin said.

"Yes. The 23 auxiliary materials for condensing the avatar have been prepared. I hesitated for a long time about the main material. My situation is too special. If the time source is the main material, there are 37 main materials to choose from, but more than half of them It will conflict with my origin of rebirth, and there are not many main materials that can fully fit." Qi Leren said.

"Considering that the place your avatar is going to is the Demon Realm, more than half of the holy power materials can be removed," said the illusionist.

Qi Leren nodded.If the avatar is condensed with the main material rich in divine power, then his life in the demon world will be very difficult, and the rejection reaction will be extremely strong. Once the demons approach him, they will find his problems.

"Since the main function of this avatar is to facilitate your actions in the Demon Realm, have you considered using materials from the Demon Realm?" Si Lin asked.

People from Qi Le: "Think about it. There is a legendary creature that is very suitable, the Feathered Serpent. It is not the one in the Mayan civilization. It is a degenerate religious creature in the nightmare world. Legend has it that angels are lured and devoured by snakes that are good at camouflage, forming I have created a chimeric creature, which looks like a huge snake with angel wings. Because of this special fusion ability, if feathers of feathered snakes are used as the main material, it can solve the fusion problem of the time source and the rebirth source.”

Si Lin nodded: "That's good, I'll get someone to pay attention to it for you."

In fact, Qi Leren had obtained a suitable main material before, which was Leviathan's eyeball, but that was the pet of the powerful demon king, and he used this as the main material only when he was crazy.I am afraid that as soon as he sees the Demon King of Power himself, his incarnation will be taken away immediately.

Qi Leren stroked the outer wall of the coffee cup: "There is another material that can also be considered..."

Si Lin and the illusionist looked at him together: "What material?"

Qi Leren smiled: "Let me think about it again."

Another way of thinking is to abandon the fusion of the source of rebirth and the source of time to condense the incarnation, but to resonate with the source of destruction and the source of rebirth-he has resonated with Ning Zhou's source of power before.

But this idea is more dangerous and radical than the former, because his origin of rebirth has not yet reached the domain level. Once the origin of destruction is turned against the host, the end result is that his origin of rebirth will be swallowed.

After all, he was not strong enough himself, Qi Leren lowered his eyes and thought angrily.If his rebirth source already has a domain level, it will be much easier to condense the avatar, and there is no need to worry about borrowing power.

If Ning Zhou knew, what materials would he give him?Qi Le thought to himself, forcing himself to bring his mind back to the meeting.

"Back to the original topic. Le Ren has always said that it takes a long test to play against the Deceitful Demon King, and you must be prepared for any possible situation, because once you face it head-on, you will be hit by lowering your intelligence, and you will be dragged if you are not careful. So how many plans have you written for him?" Si Lin asked Qi Leren.

Qi Leren smiled wryly: "Twenty."

Illusionist: "Not many."

Qi Leren: "I only have ten plans for the power demon king."

The illusionist sneered: "Just prepare a set for her, "On How to Kill the Demon King of Power in One Hit When the Demon King of Deceit Turns Back." He never believed that Su He was sincerely cooperating with Power.

Qi Leren: "It's not that simple. There must be some kind of tacit understanding between the two of them. I even suspect that Su He deliberately handed over something to the power, otherwise the power would not doubt his intentions. Today's The incident also supports my point of view, Su He has nothing to fear from the Demon King of Power."

Si Lin: "So, did you expect him to appear today?"

Qi Leren: "Yes, not yet. I thought the next time we meet, it will be in the dungeon, when that laptop appears. I guess, it should be soon."

The illusionist asked strangely: "How are you sure? Is there any rule for this thing to appear?"

Qi Leren lowered his eyes and looked at the slightly shaking black coffee in the cup: "Yes. When Ning Zhou's life is in danger, it will definitely appear."

Both Su and He came to express that the situation in the Demon Realm had changed, so this laptop should appear soon.It's just that he can't help wondering now, is it Su He who can't wait to get this computer, or the goldfish behind the computer can't wait to escape from jail?Has the weird contract between Su He and him really lost its validity?

All this can only be answered when we meet next time, Qi Leren thought.

"Well, I'll go to Undead Island again in the next few days and talk to the shepherd about it. He comes from the sea of ​​death and knows goldfish better than us." Qi Le said, "The one who continues to deal with it now is the insider." The ghost problem. My suspect list remains the same, the fortune teller, Celia and Cole, one of the three of them has been guiding the case of fanatics inside Twilight. But I think there should be only one, to infiltrate each The level of the first person in charge of the department is not easy, and it is easy to be exposed, and most importantly, if more than two of them have problems, with mutual cooperation, they will not expose so many flaws."

These three people are the heads of the Intelligence Department, the Foreign Affairs Department, and the Logistics Department, and they are all members of the court with profound qualifications.

The illusionist curled his lips: "Cole, this guy can't even manage the logistics well. He has done more wrong things than wolfhounds. If he is an undercover agent, he is too useless. No one will use him."

Si Lin: "Celia has a good relationship with you, I thought she wasn't on your suspicion list."

Qi Leren: "Indeed. When I went to the underground ant city, she was still the liaison officer of the court stationed in the underground ant city. At that time, she was short of manpower, but she was able to arrange the work in an orderly manner, and she has been working well since she was transferred back to the headquarters. good."

People in Qi Le were impressed by Celia, not only because of her dedicated work attitude and the espresso coffee she never left her hand, but also because Celia had a particularly smooth integrity - when she was in the underground ant city, she Seeing the relationship between him and Ning Zhou, the room they arranged for them was a suite with privacy and politeness in mind. There are two bedrooms in the suite, a shared living room and a beautiful terrace where you can enjoy the underground river of Ant City.

After Celia was transferred back, Qi Leren still had a good relationship with her, and he was considered a coffee friend—she liked his white coffee very much.But he didn't dispel his doubts about Celia, because Celia paid too much attention to his affairs, and Qi Le people keenly felt that this was beyond the scope of politeness of colleagues.And Celia's qualifications also allow her to judge all extremely high authority, and she has also supervised the affairs of the household registration center, which is why she is still on the suspect list.

Qi Leren said slowly: "But the one I doubt the most is the fortuneteller."

Ever since he learned about the fortune teller's special background, he has become suspicious of her.Just in case, he transferred Miao Li, who had a reliable history, to the intelligence department as the second person in charge. As a result, Miao Li was too workaholic, and almost emptied the power of the fortune-teller.According to Hermione, fortune tellers are far more interested in the occult and exploring their own past than intelligence work.

Illusionist and Si Lin also trust her quite a bit. They have known the fortuneteller for a long time, and they have completely different views on the past.

Illusionist: "The fortune teller was brought out by the teacher from the dungeon. She is half of his student. She was seriously injured and almost died in the battle three years ago. I don't think there is anything wrong with her."

Si Lin also said: "I know why you doubt her, but the relationship between the fortune-teller and Su Yu was very ordinary back then, and she even hated him a little bit."

The fortuneteller's real name is Cassandra, she was born in a dungeon, because of a heart-wrenching prophecy that "her eyes will witness the fall of the empire", she was born by her biological parents - the king and queen of the empire - —Gouged out her eyes, reduced from a noble princess to a blind priest serving the gods in the temple.

Out of guilt, her parents adopted her under the guise of adoption.Cassandra thought she came from a humble background and was favored by the king and queen. She was grateful to fate and tried her best to repay their adoption.

She is born with psychic abilities, even without eyes she can sense the traces of fate in the dark, she is eager to do something for her adoptive parents and help them with her prophecy ability.In an imminent crisis, she had a premonition of the danger of the empire, and wanted to see clearly the context of fate, but she was blinded from birth and always felt that the future was ambiguous.

Desiring to repay her kindness, she asked the witch doctor to heal her eyes so that she could read the destiny and save her country.Su Yu, a witch doctor who came from another world, gave her his eyes.

Cassandra, who has regained her sight, finally sees the future clearly—the corrupted empire will eventually be destroyed in this war.

With great fear, she told the prophecy to the king and queen, hoping that they could save this tragic future.The noble couple blamed her in horror, believing it was all her fault: the Empire had collapsed because of her, and she didn't deserve the eyes that would see the destruction.

In their horrified accusations and reprimands, Cassandra finally understood her life experience, and she lost her eyes again.

On the day when the enemy army broke through the royal city, she was blinded again and sent to the stake.The flames of anger that thousands of people pointed at were burning, and she was about to be engulfed in the stake.At that moment, she heard a voice that did not belong to this world——

It turned out that everything she cherished, treasured, and cherished was false, she was just a plaything created by the gods, and the fate she saw was just a story fabricated by the gods.

The gods who manipulated everything set up a beautiful stage for those foreigners who came from another world, and added a group of ignorant puppets for them to make this performance wonderful.

She used to be a puppet performed by fate, but now she broke free from the puppet string and fell helplessly on the stage, watching the puppets and people from other places performing joys and sorrows that she could not understand.

She was still wearing the costume she had put on for the doomed show, but she was no longer a puppet, and she was no stranger.

She could only ask silently: Who am I?

And so she woke up, wide awake.

The awakened Cassandra was taken out of the duplicate world by the Prophet. In the new world, she asked with tears: "What am I? If I am just an insignificant false creation, why am I so sad?"

The Prophet gently stroked her golden hair: "You are not a false creation. Cassandra, you will be happy, sad, grateful, or hateful. That's because you have a human soul in you."

Cassandra, who was weeping silently, shook her head: "I don't have a soul."

The Prophet smiled and told her: "Since people will lose their souls and become puppets of power in the erosion of divinity, then puppets who have lost their souls must also find their souls because of their humanity."

Cassandra froze.

"The nightmare is over, you have woken up. Now, start a new life. One day, you will find your soul."

At that time, you will know who you are.
