Chapter 27 Incredible Discovery (7)(1/2)
Curiosity really kills cats!
Xiaoxiao, who was following Mr. Qi, suddenly felt that the murals on the corridor wall looked a little different from those in the daytime in the dark. She curiously reached out to touch the traces of the fire on it, and suddenly felt a real heat burning at her fingertips.
She pulled her finger back in panic, and when she turned around, she saw the corridor ahead burning! The black figure ran in the fire, making a strange hysterical laugh. She suddenly realized that it was the voice of a crazy believer who was arsoning.
In the fire, she shouted "Mr. Qi". The flames in front of her rushed towards her. The rolling heat made her respiratory tract feel unbearable. She took two steps back in panic and ran back.
She had no time to think about why the fire suddenly caught, and she didn't have time to think about where Mr. Qi had gone. She instinctively rushed out of the mural corridor and fled to a quiet darkness in panic.
Then she saw lights in the small door not far away, which was the stairway to the tower. She only came here with Fu Yue during the day.
If someone is inside, will he be a crazy believer?
Xiaoxiao took two steps back cautiously, and was empty and there was no one around, looking for a place to hide.
In the dark door, the lights became brighter and brighter, and the sound of walking down the wooden steps became clearer and clearer. A well-dressed young man appeared in the light, and the light came from the delicate but old kerosene lamp he was holding in his hand.
He looked extremely handsome, and the night watchman's long dress used in major dioceses was draped on his shoulders, as if he was casually wearing a cloak, not warm, but he didn't care. He was holding the lamp and saw the dazed Xiaoxiao at first sight and showed a gentle smile to her.
He asked politely, his voice as 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 appearances. Not to mention others, Mr. Qi was very beautiful, but whether it was a man or a woman, she had never felt such a strong sense of impact on others. This attraction like an abyss makes people unable to think.
"There is a fire behind, and there are crazy believers." She said with blank thoughts, "You can run away too."
The handsome man smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter anymore, look."
Xiaoxiao then regained her physical feeling. She turned around and the mural corridor when she came was quiet. Everything was like before. There was no fire, no crazy believers, but there was no Mr. Qi.
"What is that?" she asked.
"The phantom of this refuge's past remains in the murals, and you accidentally woke it up." 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 not lucky, she may have been directly involved in the copy task of the main world just now. Is it a simple D-level task or a super difficult S-level task all depends on luck.
Fortunately, she has good luck.
"Are you here for an adventure too?" As soon as the crisis was relieved, a small curiosity came back. Although she still didn't dare to look directly at this handsome man, she couldn't help but talk to him.
"I came to visit my old place again and visited my old friends," he said, his eyes gently resting on Xiao Xiao.
Every word he pronounced was clearly bitten, but there was a buzzing sound in Xiaoxiao's mind. She heard it clearly, but she seemed to have not heard it clearly. She did not make any effective thoughts on his answer, and would just nod her head 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, Xiaoxiao suddenly felt something was wrong. She couldn't even figure out where this feeling of wrong came from. A mysterious inspiration made a sharp warning sound deep in her consciousness.
She activated [Troubled Mind Reading Girl].
In the flash of pictures, all her senses were blank - she "saw" a huge goldfish slowly swimming in a dark green aurora. It was powerful, deep, and terrifying. Her cognitive world had lost its perception by this amazing size, and countless messy fragments that were poured into her brain were stirred hard in her mind.
She saw the goldfish, but couldn't understand the goldfish. Did the goldfish see her? Perhaps, the goldfish could not see her, just as humans could not see the microorganisms everywhere in the water droplets with their naked eyes.
Her perspective suddenly moved away. After a moment, she was like a child squatting in front of a round goldfish tank and peeking in curiously. She saw the goldfish that was twisted and deformed due to the refraction of light after the glass.
The goldfish's eyes stared at her, and she stared at the fish in the tank.
It is no longer huge, and she is no longer small, they see each other.
When the impossible becomes possible, fear, ambition, greed, and malice grew wildly at this moment. She suddenly wanted to put her hand into the goldfish tank, catch the goldfish, and then swallow it in one bite.
A chuckle came from the picture, and everything she saw collapsed instantly. She took a small step back and held the wall before she could not fall to the ground.
That was something she had never read before.
The man turned around and looked at her with a hint of interest: "Is this the ability to see through people's hearts? It's really interesting."
The little lips were pale and her face turned pale. She was covered in cold sweat and instinctively apologized: "...I'm sorry."
"Why do you want to apologize?" he asked softly, "Isn't it a natural thing to satisfy your curiosity?"
Yes, isn't this a matter of course? Xiaoxiao thought in a daze.
A slight burning sensation suddenly came from the earrings, and Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up: No, this is not a matter of course!
"I'm sorry." Xiaoxiao said again, this time she took a step back, "I did something very rude."
The man stood in the faint light and stared at her with a smile. His dark eyes were purely stained by the night: "When humans curiously poured hot water into the ant hole, they never thought that this was not polite to the ant. Courtesy is a virtue, but a virtue exclusively to the strong. People can show politeness to the ants: quiet observation is politeness, and turning a blind eye is also politeness. Giving a piece of candy is even more polite, but ants cannot be polite to people because they are not qualified to be polite."
The ant passing by humans is rude, the ant that appears near the food is rude, and the ant that climbs onto the human body is even more rude. The polite humans ignore it, and the rude humans crush it to death, and they will not ask them why they do this, they can do this.
This is a kind of doing whatever you want that will not be condemned.
Xiaoxiao was once again caught in the chaos of inconsideration. She listened to the mysterious man in front of her and explained a completely different value: "I appreciate the curiosity in you more than politeness. On the long road for human beings to reach the top of the food chain, we have never relied on politeness, but this attitude of eternal curiosity. Only this curious instinct will make people understand the truth in the world. So you don't need to apologize for this, you should be proud of it. You can be curious as much as you want, and then explore it, and finally understand all the secrets you want. This is your power."
Xiaoxiao was fascinated by this brand new interpretation, and only the voice of dying struggle deep in her consciousness forced her to ask a question: "Is it okay if my curiosity hurts others?"
The handsome man stared at her gently, with a graceful and polite voice: "You can be polite to the ants, but you don't have to be polite forever."
Xiaoxiao chewed this sentence slowly, 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 to pieces by the flames of hell in an instant. From then on, she was no longer Xin Xiaoxiao, but...
The burning pain came from the earrings again, and Xiaoxiao covered her ears, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water from beginning to end.
What was she thinking about? Didn’t she just promised Mr. Qi to control her abilities and not to be tempted by power?
She raised her head in fear and looked at the handsome and unparalleled man standing in the moonlight. Who is this person seducing her?
The man sighed softly: "What a pity, I really want to continue to explore the essence of power with you, but the person I am waiting for has arrived."
"Xiaoxiao, come to my side!" In the darkness, Qi Leren's voice suddenly sounded, like a thunderclap that woke Xiaoxiao up.
She woke up like a dream and rushed over like a rabbit: "Mr. Qi, are you okay?"
Qi Leren patted her shoulder comfortably and blocked her little girl with relief behind her.
He looked at the familiar stranger with a stern look. After three years, Su He was still Su He. His flawless face, polite demeanor and bewitching words were hidden behind him. He was a dangerous swamp that would make people fall into place in the blink of an eye. He was a hunter who patiently lured his prey to reveal his flaws and then sent a fatal blow.
He is a clever and cunning monster who is good at playing with people's hearts. Under the extreme elegance, there is creepy indifference and indifference.
Qi Leren was unexpectedly calm inside. He had imagined seeing Su He many times. Maybe in a copy, when the mysterious laptop appeared, or maybe on a normal night, Su He knocked on his door as if he was visiting a friend.
He always comes with ulterior motives and preparations.
As for the purpose...
"What are you here to do?" Qi Leren asked bluntly.
"I happened to have time recently, so I'll see you." Su He's tone seemed to be an old friend I haven't seen for a long time, "There's a lot of changes here compared to three years ago."
Qi Leren thought a lot in an instant, but instead of following Su He's words, he showed a sarcastic smile and adjusted his speech to turn the defense into an offensive: "It seems that you are in trouble in the demon world."
He knew very well that all Su He's actions must have a purpose. He appeared here today - whether it's an incarnation or a projection, there must be a reason. The biggest possibility is that he and Quan were in trouble with Ning Zhou, so he had to change a breakthrough and get from him.
Su He smiled gently and said in a calm tone: "A trouble that won't last for a long time is not a trouble."
Qi Leren did not give him any face: "If this is the case, you wouldn't have appeared here at all."
Su He chuckled, looked at him with praise, and agreed to his words: "By the way, convey some news that they don't want to tell you."
He refers to Ning Zhou and Aya, and Qi Leren lowered his eyes: "I'm not interested, you can just get out."
Su He had a faint smile on his lips: "If you really don't want to listen, you should have fought with me now. After all, this is your hometown of dusk now."
Qi Leren made a "please" gesture: "Then don't waste time."
Su He showed a winning smile: "I heard you are ready to condense and incarnate? Then hurry up, he can't wait for you for too long."
At this moment, murderous intent flashed in Qi Leren's eyes. The power of the Dusk Land mobilized in secret has alarmed the illusionist and Si Lin, and they will soon appear here.
But it was meaningless. He had seen the truth about the person standing in front of him - it was just a trivial projection.
Qi Leren looked at him and asked heartbrokenly: "Does she know you are here?"
He is talking about the Devil of Power.
Su He made a gesture of silence and said in a gentle tone: "Then don't tell her, treat this as a little secret between us."
This seemed to suggest that their conversation today was a secret, but Qi Leren had seen through the truth and told the power demon that it was meaningless. Su He would never leave such an obvious flaw. Either the matter of coming to see him was the conspiracy between the two of them, or Su He was 100% sure to explain it clearly afterwards.
"As a reward for helping you keep a secret, you can also answer me a question." Qi Leren suggested in a relaxed tone.
"Happy to serve." Su He said.
"The fortune teller, Celia and Cole, who are your people?" Qi Leren asked in Su He's eyes.
Su He showed a meaningful smile: "Do you have a single choice question? Then I choose D, all of the above are."
Qi Leren also smiled: "Oh, thank you for your answer, I fully feel your sincerity."
Su He seemed to be unable to hear the mockery in his tone and said politely: "I am honored to answer your questions. I am also happy to provide you with some information from the demon world - the kind that is not pretentious."
Qi Leren didn't want to listen to a word again. He looked at the time and asked coldly: "Are you leaving yet? 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. It would be too rude to make a mess here because of me."
Qi Leren looked at the pocket watch in his hand coldly without saying a word.
"So, I'm farewell. I wish you a happy night." Su He put his hand on his chest and gave a slight salute to him and Xiaoxiao, "I wish Ms. Xiaoxiao a wonderful night."
In the sky outside the window, a dark cloud rolled over the moon, and the moonlight disappeared in this quiet refuge, and Su He's figure disappeared into the quiet night like this moonlight - the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall was extinguished.
Everything has no trace.
With a loud "bang", the door of the shelter was kicked open.
