"After that, Cassandra was called a fortuneteller, and she stayed with the prophet to serve him. She respected the prophet very much, and Si Lin and I could see that she hated...Su Yu a little bit." Speaking of this name, illusion The teacher curled his lips in disgust.

"Because Su He indirectly contributed to her awakening?" Qi Leren guessed.

"Maybe. Or the fortune-teller would rather die on the stake without knowing it, rather than being brought before the prophet by Su Yu. After all, the truth always makes people more painful." Si Lin said.

"She has been searching for who she is, whether it is an NPC or a human. But no one can give her the answer, not even the teacher. Maybe a goldfish can, if she can pry its mouth open." The illusionist said.

Qi Leren paused suddenly, a trace of inspiration skipped through his mind, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"At that time, Su Yu hadn't recovered his memory, and he didn't even know that he was a fraud king, so it was impossible to collude with the fortune teller in advance. In my impression, the relationship between the two of them was very cold, and the communication was completely polite." Si Lin recalled.

"The fortune-teller hardly ever goes out, stays in the court all year round, never leaves the land of dusk, and the probability of being rebelled by Utopia is not high." The illusionist also said, "From this point of view, Celia's The suspicion is not small. She has a long-term experience abroad. During her work in the underground ant city, she has been dealing with the fanatics of the Utopia. After being transferred back to take charge of the diplomatic office, she often moves around, and I also found that she often comes to you for coffee , I have always suspected that she has a crush on you."

Qi Leren glanced at him faintly: "Impossible, she knows my situation very well."

The illusionist laughed: "But she doesn't know that your family is still alive."

The news that Ning Zhou went to the Demon Realm is a secret inside the court. According to official records after the Great War three years ago, he broke through the realm before dying in the battle, so there is no tombstone left on Undead Island—the tombstone will only Records the death of players below the domain level.

Ning Zhou, the upright and courageous knight commander who was born in the Holy See, and the son of a holy nun whom the Pope placed high hopes on, died in the battle with the devil.Even though he had rebelliously left the Holy See, everything was unimportant in the face of his tragic death.The Holy See played a holy elegy for him, engraved his name on the holy wall of the church, and drew an eternal end to his life as the Son of Light.

Since then, his sacrifice has been recorded in history and has become a symbol that will never fade. People mourn him, pay homage to him, praise him, and praise him.

There will be no more stigma in his life.

And the real Ning Zhou, at the moment he stepped into the demon world alone, he no longer has his former name, he will only be a newborn demon king of destruction.

People in Qi Le know that even if in some unfortunate future, Ning Zhou, who is a demon king, really walks on the same path as his father, his real name will never appear in the mouths of the world again, just like his father. That legendary life experience will always be a secret kept by only a few insiders.

He is a dead saint, a mad lord, a vanished name, a lonely secret.

The world hates him, the demon world fears him, and hatred and curses are imposed on him.

There is only one person who loves him.

The person who loves him lights up the light for him in the dark with tender thoughts in the thousand and eighty-nine separate days and nights.

He will find him before he steps into the endless abyss of destruction.

………………

It was almost midnight, and the three principals of the court received feedback from their subordinates that everything was normal.

The three people included in the suspect list, the fortune teller was drinking jasmine tea in the office of the court and arranging the tarot cards; Cole was drinking in the tavern, and the two executioners under Qi Leren pretended to meet him by chance and drank with him , to make sure that he would not leave their sight; as for Celia, she came to Qi Leren's office and walked around, and when she learned that the Inquisition Tribunal had given Fu Yue a drink tonight, she went back to her Work continued in the office.

"Nothing unusual. The three of them are all in the controllable area, and there is no suspicious sign." Si Lin frowned and said, "Right now, personnel have been deployed near where the three of them are, and they will not be allowed to leave at will."

"Are you all right? Then I'll take someone to the newspaper office. Call me if you need anything." The illusionist knocked on the table and said.

"I will stay in the underground ice palace to ensure Xiaozhi's safety." Si Lin said.

Although he hoped that meeting Su He tonight was just a false alarm, Qi Leren was not so optimistic. Even if it was just a coincidence, he had to be fully prepared.

"Then I'll be on duty tonight." Qi Leren said.

After the meeting was over, it was almost midnight, and Qi Leren greeted the executive in charge of night duty, and returned to his office, only to find that the light in the next office was still on.

He subconsciously thought it was the secretary Anna, but when he came to the open door, what he saw was Xiao Xiao who was lying on the table and sound asleep.

He stood by the door for a long time, and finally asked, "Xiao Xiao, aren't you going home yet?"

Xiao Xiao jumped up in fright and lost her sleepiness. Seeing that it was Qi Le, she was relieved: "It's Mr. Qi."

Qi Leren asked with a smile: "Scared you?"

Xiaoxin said with lingering fear: "I dreamed that I fell asleep during the college entrance examination. When I handed in the paper, the answer sheet was not painted yet, and I was woken up by the invigilator. It scared me to death."

This kid hasn't got rid of the fear of his school days yet, Qi Leren thought a little funny, he felt quite envious, the subject of his nightmares now is much scarier than the college entrance examination.The Twilight Land explosion and aircraft crash were nothing. Once he dreamed that he was working for Su He. Su He smiled and showed him a book called "How to Murder a Goldfish" and asked him to write [-] words. After reading it, it is called waking up in the middle of the night and insomnia until dawn.

Early the next morning, he hurried to Undead Island to ask the shepherd about "how to murder goldfish". The shepherd told him to go back to sleep quickly, because there was everything in his dream.

Seeing that Xiaoxiao was still waiting for him to speak, Qi Leren asked again: "It's so late, why don't you go back?"

Xiao Xiao looked at him a little aggrieved: "After coming out of the ice and snow church, you didn't say that I could go home."

Qi Leren: "...Didn't I say it?"

Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously: "You just said that the three of you are going to have a meeting."

Qi Leren thought about it for a while, and it seemed that the three of them hurriedly went to the conference room on the top floor for a meeting, and no one explained what Xiaoxiao was going to do. They walked around in circles, not daring to disturb them by sending messages, nor daring to leave their boss and leave work without authorization, so they had to go back to the office and wait.

Qi Le said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I forgot to say. You can go home. You can take a day off tomorrow."

"It's okay, I can go to work normally." Xiao Xiao said hastily.Today is her second day at work, how could she have the nerve to take a vacation.

Qi Leren thought for a while: "Then let's include it in the annual leave. Besides, I have a task for you recently."

The little eyes lit up: "What task?"

Qi Leren hesitated for a moment. When recruiting new recruits, he chose Xiaoxiao at a glance, mainly because of her special mind-reading skills. At that time, he planned to let Xiaoxiao investigate the undercover matter. According to the original plan, he would focus on training For a month or two, let her carry out the mission when she can be alone, lest she lose her life if she is reckless.

He didn't want a fourth secretary.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and he didn't have that much time.

Or he can do it himself.

"It's already off work today, and I'll arrange it for you tomorrow, so that you won't be able to sleep at night because you want to work, so go home quickly." Qi Leren said gently, sending Xiao Xiao home.

Xiao Xiao replied disappointedly: "Then I'm going home."

Qi Leren nodded: "Well, be careful on the road." Then, he pointed to his earlobe, signaling her not to take off the earrings.

Touching the earrings, Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of security. She smiled happily: "Mr. Qi should get off work early too."

Qi Le watched her leave with a smile, and after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around: "Mr. Qi, when we were in the refuge, I heard you mention that you suspected that the fortune teller, Celia and Cole question?"

"Maybe, maybe not, I can't jump to a conclusion without evidence." Qi Leren said.

"Actually, there is one thing that I thought was nothing at first, but... I think it's better to tell you." Xiaoxiao lowered her head, looked at her shoes and whispered, "I have secretly read the fortune teller's heart before, Several times. The first time I saw her, I read the picture of the crystal refinery. It was a very large crystal refinery. The boiler was suspended in mid-air by a magic circle. Later, I went to report, Ms. Miaoli Not here, she took the initiative to chat with me about divination, during which I read my mind three times, but they all had very similar pictures, I think she might be a little wary of me."

"I see." Qi Leren nodded.

This is not much evidence. The fortune teller is very clear that Xiaoxiao can read minds, so it is reasonable to be on guard. The crystal refinery is more likely to be the intelligence data that the Intelligence Department is investigating recently. He remembers that the Creator mentioned, Recently, a few new magic consultants were recruited, and the intelligence department was asked to investigate the details.

After Xiaoxiao left, Qi Leren stood there for a while, and sent a message to Al to ask him to send a group of people to keep an eye on the fortuneteller, and then he walked into the office, and he didn't plan to go home tonight.

………………

Humming a song, Xiaoxiao walked quickly in the corridor of the courthouse, and jumped two steps while walking, perfectly jumping into the marble grid. After the jump, she looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one was around. No one will see her convulsions of humiliation.

It took her two and a half days to work in the trial office, but she encountered many things.On the eve of the founding day, I ran into Mr. Qi on the spaceship.The next day I went to work and had a meeting all afternoon. After get off work, I met the reporter of the missing case. I went back to the court overnight and told Mr. Qi.

On the third day, that is today, she went to the refuge with Chief Judge Fu to investigate rumors of hauntings. In the afternoon, she sent information to the intelligence department and talked about divination with the fortune teller. In the evening, she had a welcome feast.I didn't expect that there would be a heart-to-heart show after dinner, and I went to the refuge with Mr. Qi, and saw Mr. Qi's women's clothing with amazing acting skills...

It was a busy day, because so many things happened, she is not sleepy at all now.

Xiao Xiao, who had just stepped out of the circular square of the court, was humming and wanted to take a night carriage or a steam car home.

She still likes steam cars a little bit, and she has a feeling of going back to modern times to take a taxi, but this kind of car is a bit bulkier and looks like a convertible four-wheeler.

At midnight, the Twilight Township has quieted down. On the empty streets, the bright street lights give people a sense of security.For the sake of safety, Xiao Xiao still maintained a little vigilance. After all, the Twilight Village is not such a safe place in the real world, and murders happen from time to time.

However, this is the resident of the court, and the law and order have always been good.

The sound of horseshoes in the carriage at night made Xiaoxiao feel refreshed, stretched her arms ahead of time and shouted: "Here, here!"

At the end of the street, a carriage drove towards here and stopped in front of her.

Xiaoxiao reported a series of addresses to the coachman wearing a long winter cloak, and then opened the car door and got in.

The carriage continued to move forward, and stopped again after a while.The door opened, and a blindfolded girl with long blond hair walked into the carriage and sat down opposite Xiao Xiao. She said to the driver, "Go to the steel bridge business district."

Xiao Xiao was stunned, a chill came up from the bottom of her feet.

The fortune teller smiled at her: "What a coincidence, did you just get off work?"

The cold little effort showed a shy smile of a newcomer junior: "Yeah."
