Welcome to Nightmare Game III

The tearful catharsis didn't last long.

After all, Aya is not the same as she was back then.Even in front of the closest people, her breakdown was only a brief breakdown.She quickly regained her senses, turned her back shyly, and wiped away the tears on her face.

Qi Leren looked at her back, there was a small gap between her huge skirt and the ground, where there should have been a pair of legs wearing shoes.But now, the people of Qi Le can only see the metal-like limbs of dragon ants in the gap.

That's the price.

Qi Leren never blamed Aya, on the contrary, he was very grateful to her.

When he and Ning Zhou needed help the most, it was Aya who stood up.She has no interest in power, she could have been an indifferent bystander, enjoying the power and glory she paid for in the underground ant city, and lived a short but extravagant life.

As long as she keeps silent and becomes a dispensable member of the council, she will live a hundred times easier than it is now-no chief will not want to offend her.

But Aya chose a difficult path, not for her own desires, but for theirs.

She is doing her best to repay the help they have given her.

For this reason, she forced herself to become the chief of the council that mediates the suffering at the center of power.

The power and glory she obtained were not what she longed for; but the danger and murderous intent she faced were fatal.

How could the people of Qi Le blame her?Aya is a girl born in a nomadic tribe. She never went to school for a day since she was a child. The humble and poor birth environment could not have taught her a natural sense of politics.Her innocence, pure kindness and compassion are tantamount to weakness in the devil world.

Aya is not suitable to be the chief of the discussion group, Qi Le people can see it clearly, and Ning Zhou can also see it clearly, but they have no choice.

Nobody has a choice.

However, some people have chosen now because he is here.

Looking at the back of Aya wiping away tears, Qi Leren thought with relief.

He is always happy that he can be relied on by others.Some people may think that this is an unbearable burden, but for him, it is a kind of happiness to be able to shield the people he loves from the wind and rain and protect them from suffering.

When Aya wiped away her tears and turned around, Qi Leren was already standing in front of the French window, studying the scenery of the underground garden outside the window, and he pretended not to see anything.

Aya didn't seek comfort any more, and Qi Leren didn't say anything to comfort her, all the breakdown and venting could only stop here.

Because they have more important things to do urgently.

"Let's talk in the garden?" Qi Leren suggested.

He felt that the next conversation should not be in this room, and a change of environment would make Aya feel better.

"...Okay." Aya pursed her lips and responded nervously.

She knew what Qi Le people were going to talk to her about.

The one who will always be the first in his heart, irreplaceable by anyone and anything, whom he loves deeply, and who loves him deeply, is Ning Zhou.

………………

The underground garden of the Midsummer Palace is like a rich green land in southern Xinjiang.

The courtyard building in the middle of the garden is white and looks very new, as if it has just been built.And the style of this building is quite similar to the building in the Dune Palace.

Qi Leren sat in the courtyard and looked at the relief above his head. He remembered that there was a similar courtyard in the Dune Palace, and the surrounding tropical jungle intensified the similarity.

"Do you think it looks familiar?" Aya asked cautiously.

"It's a bit, is it a coincidence?" Qi Leren wondered.

Aya's expression was a little bit tangled, and she hesitated: "It's not a coincidence. Ever since His Majesty gave you the Dune Palace, the lords from all over the world have been very curious about this palace. Later, in order to solve the debt problem, the Dune Lord gave away the Dune Palace. The blueprints were copied by the thousands and sold to the High Demons."

People in Qi Le never expected such a small story: "Then the demon lord of Metung Ridge City built a garden for himself according to the blueprint?"

Aya nodded awkwardly: "It's not just him. Building a tropical-style garden in the territory, paired with this ethereal and elegant white building, is the most popular style in the devil world today. Every lord can build one for himself." Tropical gardens are proud."

Of course, it is a low-profile version.

The structure of the Dune Palace is like a giant Babel Tower, the ingenuity of countless magic circles and rare materials, and the courage to build a rainforest in the desert and fight against the might of nature are impossible for these beautiful but thin gardens. .

Qi Leren didn't know what to say, and said blankly: "I didn't expect that demons would also follow the trend."

Aya explained nervously: "If you don't like it, I'll order the construction to be banned, and then let them tear down the garden."

Qi Leren subconsciously rebuffed with the ethics of the executive director of the court: "No, if such a reckless order is issued, my reputation will be over...Huh? Wait."

Wait, his current character design is a demon concubine with a volatile personality, moody, and doing whatever she wants?

No more than a few random lives, how can it be highlighted that when he is annoyed, he will recklessly tear down other people's houses and chop off their heads?

The demon concubine is good, the demon concubine is wonderful, but the demon concubine can be unreasonable!

Dealing with this group of demons who are full of troubles is to be unreasonable, make them dizzy, go crazy and collapse, and be busy with themselves, lest they have time to plan more troubles.Of course, the scale should also be controlled.

Before Ning Zhou returned safely, he would not give these demons the time and energy to make trouble.

Qi Leren's tail was happy, and it flicked back and forth behind him, happily.

"How about this, Aya, when you are dealing with the follow-up situation of the council, pick a model who doesn't cooperate and make an example of others. Use this as the reason: the queen is very upset when she hears that you have built a garden after his dune palace. Then Those demons who do whatever they want know what to do." Qi Leren said.

How to do it?Hurry up to blow up, demolish, and fill up the repaired tropical garden, and then put your tail between your legs and be a good man.

When your life is in the hands of the superior, then respect him, ponder him, obey him, hide your resentment and rebellious heart, otherwise, no one will sympathize with your death.

This is the devil world.

The small talk session before the talk is over.

The Qile people refused Aya to help him make tea, and he made Hrisvato white coffee by himself.

"Can you see it?" Aya asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Qi Leren replied honestly.

On the way to the Demon Realm, he tried, but failed.He suspects that Ning Zhou, who is under the torture of time reversal, has returned to the age before he met him. If this is really the case, Ning Zhou will certainly not respond to his thoughts—he doesn't even know him.

Thinking of this, Qi Leren felt his heart stagnate for a while.

"Tell me about the fusion trial." Qi Leren said to Aya while making coffee.

Aya's face changed: "You know."

Qi Leren raised his face slightly, and the devil's red faintly appeared in his gentle brown eyes, which was a kind of insightful look.

"I wrote it in the letter, asking you to be honest with me about Ning Zhou's situation. I know, you can't write it in the letter, because Ning Zhou won't let you write it. But now that I'm in front of you, you should tell me Let's go." Qi Leren said.

Aya pursed her lips, and without hesitating for long, she told the truth about the fusion trial. She was worried: "...that's all I know. Something must have happened in the fusion trial, otherwise His Majesty would not have ...injured. His left arm is broken and his left eye is bandaged, but how is that possible?"

Qi Leren listened quietly, and asked sharply: "Why is it impossible?"

Aya opened her mouth, and covered up in a panic: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is so strong, of course it is impossible to get hurt."

Qi Leren directly found out her fault: "His opponent in the trial is the old devil king who once unified the entire devil world. Why can he not be injured? Aya, answer me, why?"

Aya held her breath, her whole body was stiff, and she dared not speak.

"Is it because of the 'little secrets' you kept from me with him?" Qi Leren asked sharply.

"..."

"The location of the secret is a long underground passageway, with dark rivers flowing on both sides, and countless candles floating on the river. And at the end of the passageway is a huge iron gate. Am I right?"

Aya raised her head almost in horror, the panicked look in her eyes when she was exposed had already told Qi Leren the answer.

"Then let me change another question. Ning Zhou, why did you use your avatar instead of your body to participate in the fusion trial? Did you not want to, or couldn't? Where is his body? Behind that iron gate?"

Qi Leren suppressed his anger and pressed Aya word by word.

In terms of speaking skills, Aya is not his opponent at all. He can get the answer from Aya by asking questions and guessing.

He guessed all right.

In the spoiler of "Nightmare Game", Qi Leren got too much information, and this information, together with the information he got later, was enough for him to restore the things that Ning Zhou and Aya were hiding from him.

"I can't tell you, I swore to Your Majesty." Aya tightly clenched her hands into fists, her nails dug into her palms, leaving deep bruises. Only this kind of pain can make her feel Courage against the people she respects most.

"You don't need to tell me, I'll guess!" Qi Leren interrupted her directly, staring at Aya sharply, "Behind the iron gate is Ning Zhou's body, I don't know what method, magic, Mysteries, contracts... No matter what it is, in short, you have used a method to keep him sane, sober, and healthy. His avatar will not be injured, because all these injuries have been passed on to the main body! So you are discovering Ning Zhou will be so shocked after finishing the trial but getting injured, am I right?"

Aya couldn't breathe, she was extremely afraid and extremely guilty, these complex emotions were tormenting her, and Qi Leren's persecution was also tormenting her.

From her expression, Qi Leren understood that her psychological defense was collapsing.

"Aya." Qi Leren's voice softened, he got up and came to Aya's side, squatted down in front of her, took her hand and whispered softly, the whisper was bewitching, "We must rescue Ning Zhou, whether it's the one who disappeared or the one who hid behind the iron gate. Only if you tell me the truth, can I make the right decision. So, tell me, huh?"

Aya almost said it, but she couldn't.

because……

"It's impossible for her to tell, because she is a secret keeper like me. As a secret keeper, she cannot reveal this secret in any way until certain conditions are met." Nightingale's tall figure walked out of the garden Coming out, she looked at Aya's silent lips, and said the impossible words for her.

Nightingale sat down beside Qi Leren: "However, I happen to know something that she can't say."

Qi Leren looked at her unexpectedly: "You know?"

Nightingale rubbed her fingers. Her fingers were rough and covered with small scars, but they were powerful hands.

"Yes. If I'm not mistaken. This is the ancient magic secret ritual that Ning Yu once planned to use on himself. Its name is Blood Priest. But, before he could use it, he was completely crazy."

The author has something to say:

The rebellion of the council group has been put down, and Lemei is about to set off to the snowy field to fish for boats.Although he forced the demons to help him find someone, his personality was never the type to sit and wait.After all, she is a reliable and reliable girl with super mobility, who was promoted from a rookie to the executive director of the court in a few months!

Spoiler alert, when they reunited, Ning Zhou had only one diary left by him at hand, and his three views were shattered.

Le Mei: awsl!
