Welcome to Nightmare Game III

"Fortunately, Mr. Qi did not go to Neverland in the end, because his fever subsided early the next morning. I found him at the dining table. On the roses, Mr. Qi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, looked at the white roses with a pale face. Hearing my footsteps, he raised his head and looked at me, saying that he had prepared breakfast and thanked me for taking care of me. He asked Would I be willing to be transferred to the Heresy Tribunal to serve as his secretary? I should have thought about it, at least I should have asked Mr. Si Lin first. But at that moment, I agreed without thinking."

"In the years since then, I have unknowingly discovered more secrets - please allow me to keep it secret for now, you will definitely know it later. In this position, it is difficult for you not to see those who are silent I don’t bother to hide the love behind the gift of language, but I want to clarify for the Dragon Ant Queen that all this has nothing to do with her. I have seen the miraculous and dreamy Dune Palace, tasted Hrisvato white coffee, and read Countless materials from the devil world, seeing Mr. Qi's empty and deserted office added various decorations. He began to get better gradually, with more smiles, and became calmer than before, more People came to him: the creator came, Sisi came, many people came, they were all curious about the story behind the sapphire ring, I pretended to be as curious as them. This is a very interesting thing I watched with dark interest as they argued over who Mr Qi's late wife was, and insisted that I knew nothing about it either."

"Finally, what I want to say to you is, don't be too sad, whether it's for me or for Mr. Qi. I firmly believe that one day, brave people will change the world, and those who love each other will meet again."

"That's all I want to tell you. Sincerely wish you all the best."

The letter wrote the last period here, Xiaoxiao silently put down the letter paper, looked at the withered flower arrangement on the desk, and then at the also withered flower arrangement on Sisi's desk, she suddenly understood why Sisi let She doesn't throw away the flowers.

She was melancholy and sentimental, but after the sadness, she felt the calmness and tenderness after the waves.

She didn't use mind reading, and it can't be used on dead people, but in the thin letter paper, she read word by word and gained insight into the inner world of a stranger, just like when she read the story of the pilot in the newspaper as always.

This kind of insight is not the condescending and curious scrutiny when humans observe ants, nor is it impulsive curiosity and inflated desire to spy, but a kind of innate perception and empathy in human nature.

Somewhere deep in her soul, it dawned on her.

Perhaps, this kind of gentle power is what is really needed for insight into the source.

She thought that she would always remember these friends who had never met before.

………………

During the meeting, in the small conference room on the top floor of the office hall, in addition to Qi Leren, Si Lin and the illusionist, there was also a capable woman wearing black-rimmed glasses. It was Miao Li who was promoted because her boss defected and died. .

As a senior member of the court, Miao Li finally took the position of the first person in charge of the intelligence department. She is obviously very satisfied. She has been in charge of the internal cleansing of the court in the past week. She worked hard every day until dawn.

This brought a lot of pain to the people of Qi Le, because he was in charge of the internal cleansing operation, and he had to face the report of the workaholic Miao Li three times a day, and each report meant a bunch of new coordination The work needs him to coordinate.

Now he knows that he is just a fake workaholic, and the real workaholic depends on Miao Li.

Today is December 12th, counting it as his third wedding anniversary, his newlywed who physically disappeared on the day of his wedding—went to the Demon Realm—will send a cabin of gifts as usual.

Because of this, Qi Leren was a little absent-minded.

On the night when the crystal refinery nearly exploded, Ning Zhou lost contact with the two of them during their midnight date. Although they regained contact after that, in the aroma of Hrisvato white coffee, Ning Zhou seemed to be everything. Well, but Qi Leren became more and more worried.

The people of Qi Le are waiting for a reply.The Dragon Ant Queen Aya, who is always amazingly efficient in delivering letters and gifts, must have delivered the letter he sent to Ning Zhou. Assuming that the entire aircraft has not stopped except for take-off and landing and refueling, I will reply today. It should be delivered to him.

What Qi Le people care about is, what kind of main material for condensing the avatar will Ning Zhou send him?How would Aya explain their kind concealment from him for the past three years?

As Qi Leren was distracted, Miao Li had already reported the summary of the week's situation, and the illusionist asked a few more questions about the progress of the screening work for the internal personnel of "Twilight Daily", especially the situation of reporter Xun.

After learning that Reporter Xun didn't believe in demons, the three giants in the court sighed in unison: It's a pity that he couldn't be executed legally. Thinking about it, it's a little regrettable.

Miao Li pushed her glasses and decided to solve the problems for the three big brothers: "If necessary..."

"Stop, that's all for now." Qi Leren interrupted Miao Li. The first person in charge of the intelligence department has enough imagination and action to put appropriate charges on the suspects who are already in prison. Executed by the Heresy Tribunal, the entire process was compliant and the evidence was sufficient, ensuring that even the suspect would doubt whether he really had demon beliefs after hearing the trial.

However, that means that the Land of Twilight is sinking into the Sea of ​​Twilight, becoming another utopia dominated by the source of power.

Qi Leren took a deep look at Miao Li: "Follow the punishment regulations."

Miao Li lowered her head: "Yes, I understand."

Si Lin took a sip of ice water: "There are no other problems, you can go back first."

Miao Li hugged the notebook, bowed to the three of them, and walked out of the conference room lightly.

After Miaoli left, the sitting postures of the three of them changed slightly. The illusionist who was sitting pushed back the chair and put his feet on the small round table. Si Lin crossed Erlang's legs and switched feet. Le Ren, he leaned back in his chair and yawned.

"Things are almost settled, and I have some good news to tell you." Si Lin said to Qi Leren, "The feather snake feather you mentioned earlier was found."

This is great news, it means that the main material needed by Qi Le people has finally been found.

However, Qi Leren's expression was different.

"What a coincidence," he said softly.

"It's just a coincidence. The exchange is about to put feathered snake feathers on the material list and wait for players to provide clues. As a result, when cleaning the warehouse, they found that there happened to be a feather fossil in a batch of fossils purchased a few years ago. The age is quite old. , it was identified to be the feather of a feathered snake." Si Lin said, and put the fossil on the table.

The Qile people picked up the fossil, and there was a clear feather texture on the stone. This texture is very special. It is not a pure feather, but a long feather made of fine scales, which is a typical feature of feathered snakes.

Even though it has spent a long time in the formation, the power of the Feathered Serpent still remains on the fossil, which can be used as the main material.It's a fossil, rather than a freshly recovered fragment from a couatle's lair, which adds to its sense of authenticity, and the belief that it was indeed formed in ancient times in the Nightmare world.

If its appearance is really a lucky coincidence.

The Qi Le people turned the fossil over, and saw in the label on the back that it was purchased two years ago.

He shook his head at Si Lin: "I decided to change the material."

"Why?" the illusionist asked in surprise.

"Because it's all so coincidental, and it's so coincidental that I have to suspect that someone is quietly pushing behind it." Looking at the fossil of Feathered Serpent feathers, the Qi Le people suddenly smiled wryly, "This main material is very good, very suitable , everything is just about right. But you know, for me, if something is going really well, it probably means something is wrong. That’s a rule of thumb.”

Illusionist: "Poof—"

Qi Leren looked at him faintly, and said threateningly: "Is it funny?"

The illusionist quickly shook his head, pretending that the taunt he made to Lucky E just now was just a small accident.

Regarding the appearance of the fraudulent devil's projection and the defection of the fortune-teller, the people of Qi Le took a long time to review.The real beginning of this incident was not the hijacking the day before the establishment, but a long and tortuous conspiracy that had been laid out since three years ago.

"Looking at the problem from Su He's point of view, we assume that his goal is goldfish. Then everything he does will revolve around this core - including the old case of Dawn Town. Why must he take a huge risk to come to the Prophet? , because the Land of Dawn is a key link in his ultimate goal. And the other link is me. Or, the laptop I brought into this world.”

Qi Leren looked at Si Lin and the illusionist, and sorted out the whole story from the beginning.

"First of all, let's make one thing clear: Su He adjusted his strategy against me based on the ever-increasing intelligence information. At first, in my Novice Village, Su He came following the signal from the laptop, but he didn't know it at the time. What was it? He just guessed that someone in Xinshou Village had some kind of connection with the goldfish. As for who it was and what kind of connection it was with the goldfish, he had no clue. In order to lock down the person who had a connection with the goldfish, he was leaving the Xinshou Village After that, he established a long-term relationship with me, Dr. Lu and Xue Yingying. In the copy of the old castle, he sensed the signal again. This time, only Dr. Lu and I were present, and I was exposed in the conversation with him." Qi Le Ren recalled the conversation in the Land of Dawn, from his guard at the beginning to his trust later, even though he didn’t say the key word laptop, Su and He had already confirmed it—the person who had contact with the goldfish It's him.

"At that time, he didn't get to the bottom of it, and even asked me not to say it. There are two possibilities here: He is further gaining my trust for a bigger secret later; the other possibility is that he was also subject to certain restrictions at the time. If it's the former, he shouldn't have chosen to kill me cleanly when he was in the Holy City; if it's the latter, I guess it's either because of the goldfish or because of the Demon King of Power."

The relationship between the three demon kings of power, killing and deceit is complicated and confusing. Judging from the existing information, the three of them are likely to be players who entered the nightmare game at the same time. This foundation of trust made their initial cooperation possible.However, with the passage of time and the alienation of the original source, cracks quickly appeared in this trust.The Slaughter Demon King took the lead in launching the attack, but was suppressed in the lake of fire in Purgatory, his domain was eroded, and finally he was killed by Ning Zhou.

So, why does the partnership between fraud and power continue to exist?

"But there is also a terrible possibility that Su He chose to kill me when he was in the Holy City, but he knew that I had left a resurrected follower who had gained enough benefits in the Holy City: the previous Demon King of Destruction He handed it over to the Demon King of Power to gain her further trust. And while he was waiting for my resurrection, he incarnated as Du Yue and came to the Twilight Land. Through the incarnation of Du Yue, he finally figured out the relationship between me and Goldfish's real connection is the laptop, he decided to get it, and signed a contract with me for it. In the Twilight battle, he killed me on the grounds that I broke the contract, but that time, I don't think he meant it. Because at this time He already has enough information, and even enough trust from the Demon King of Power. If I died at that time, the clues of the laptop would be cut off. Then he attacked me at that time, the biggest possibility is that he was delaying my time .”

Ning Zhou is not dead, awakened to the source of destruction, he will definitely go to the devil world to block the process of unification of the power demon king.

And the people of Qi Le must stay in the Twilight Township until the condensed incarnation can leave.

During this period of time, it is enough for him to do many things, for them, for the power demon king, and for the goldfish.

On the road to the peak of power, the Demon King of Power never hides his naked greed and madness, but the Demon King of Deceit always sits peacefully on the high tower in the Land of Dawn, enjoying tea and casually admiring the scenery. It seems to be just observing human beings, and sometimes playing with people's hearts.

But behind this elegance and calmness, the real deceitful devil can only be an extremely patient careerist.He is good at disguising, proficient in lies, and insight into the weaknesses in human nature, all of which are for the ultimate goal-the goal where all the strong converge.

world power.

It was rare for the illusionist to listen quietly to Qi Leren for a long time, and finally asked: "So what does this have to do with the Feathered Serpent fossil?"

Qi Leren and Si Lin exchanged glances, and Si Lin sighed: "Now I know why the three of us are at the bottom of the IQ test."

Faced with Si Lin's taunts, the illusionist always throws out his punches.In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the Qi Le people stopped the illusionist who was about to run away, and used another topic he was interested in: "Say, there will be a spaceship coming from the underground ant city today. Last time Aya said that she would send a A new batch of curtain cloth, do you want it?"

The illusionist and Si Lin looked at him in unison, with unkind eyes.

Qi Leren:?

Si Lin said quietly: "The same dog food is eaten from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and one eats it for two or three years, and there is a big gift bag at the end of the year."

The illusionist added cooperatively: "Wow!"

The two looked at each other, then put each other's shoulders tacitly and sighed.

The illusionist said: "Why don't I have a girlfriend who gives me crazy gifts?"

Si Lin pointedly said, "Maybe it has to be a boyfriend."

Qi Leren looked at the two of them and pretended to threaten: "Then you don't want it anymore?"

Si Lin & Illusionist: "Yes!"

Qi Leren nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's continue the topic just now."

The people of Qi Le continued. The appearance of Su He this time brought disaster to the fortune tellers. The Twilight Township immediately raised the level of security. Will die in the crystal refinery "reasonably and reasonably", even the power demon king can't fault it.He successfully used the hands of Qi Le people to clean up the fortune tellers who had lost their use value and hidden risks. The backup method still solves the fortune teller.

And the information about the demon world he brought in the shelter brought a great sense of urgency to the people of Qi Le—he had no time to consider the main material for condensing the avatar. Among his limited choices, the best main material The material is the Feathered Serpent Feather that can effectively bridge the conflict between the source of rebirth and the source of time.

Now, the materials he needs are right in front of him.

It looks so solid, not new but bought two years ago, old, no artifacts, perfect by any means.

"Speaking of which, no one has seen the real body of the Deceitful Demon King, right?" Qi Leren suddenly asked an unrelated question.

The main body of the Demon King of Power, if nothing else, is the same as her little pet Leviathan.Leviathan is not so much her pet, but rather her incarnation - a powerful, chaotic, twisted and crazy monster born in the vortex abyss, it will continue to expand, expand, and destroy, swallowed by uncontrollable desire All reason and humanity.

Like his father, Ning Zhou is the Destroyer Demon Dragon recorded in legends and scriptures.According to legend, it is a monster among monsters, a demon among demons, an evil dragon that symbolizes destruction.The ancient world was destroyed by such a dragon. It awakened from the chaos, and while flying, it sprayed angry flames. The never-ending flames spread in all directions, destroying the entire world.

And the body of the Deceiver Demon King has never appeared in front of people.

"According to the legend, the Feathered Serpent is good at disguising and seducing, and it can also make angels fall. It devoured the angel and became a huge snake with wings. This sounds a bit deceitful." Qi Le said.

Si Lin and the illusionist were thoughtful.

"I agree with your idea. Do you have any backup plan now?" Si Lin asked.

Qi Leren smiled at him: "It depends on the list of gifts sent today."

The faint smell of dog food in this tone made the illusionist make a cooperative voice: "Wow!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room.

Si Lin's secretary pushed open the door: "There is an urgent matter. Today's trade spaceship was personally escorted by the head maid of the Dragon Ant Queen. She said that the Queen ordered her to hand over an important item to Mr. Qi. .”

Qi Leren stood up eagerly, speaking a little faster than usual: "Take me there."
