Chapter 13: Resurrection Overture (13)

On the tenth night of Qi Leren's return to the hometown of dusk, an uninvited parrot pecked off the window of Dr. Lu's clinic.
At this time, the sleepy Qi Leren had washed and jumped into the bed. He wrote in his diary these days and saw the shadow of the parrot outside the window. He burst into his heart. At this time, Chen Baiqi's parrot suddenly came to him ... … He jumped out of bed and pulled open the window.
"Come to me, the letter is here." The parrot jumped off the window sill and flew away after finishing speaking.
Qi Leren seemed to be a student who was suddenly told that the results of the college entrance examination had come out in advance and was completely drowsy. He hurriedly put on his clothes and pants, and he couldn't help saying hello to Dr. Lu, and opened the door to Chen Baiqi's home.
In the setting sun, the hearts of the running Qile people are beating fast, not only the heartbeat during exercise, but also the restless and expectant heartbeat.
Panting knocking on the door of Chen Baiqi's house, Chen Baiqi glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "Yes, it runs fast. If you maintain this speed, you can buy breakfast every day in 19 minutes."
If it was usual, Qi Leren would have been defamatory at this time, but at this moment he was totally unhappy, and eagerly asked: "What did Ning Zhouxin say? What is his condition? When can he come back?"
Chen Baiqi was much calmer than him, and he unhurriedly found the tea: "Well? Where did I put the box of tea?"
"Boiled water is fine!" Where does Qi Leren who cares about tea care about tea! I can't wait to the letter from Chen Baiqi.
"Do you think I made it for you? You think too much." Chen Baiqi said coldly.
Qi Leren was speechless and anxious.
Chen Baiqi found the tea and began to boil water. At this time, Qi Leren's anxiety had been written on his face. If it wasn't for Chen Bai Qi to establish absolute authority in these short ten days, then Qi Leren had already To growl.
The water-burning teapot is a common style in the hometown of dusk. It is a bit like an iron kettle in the 1960s and 1970s. It is placed on a "coal stove". The "coal stove" in the hometown of dusk is not coal burning. The main energy source here is Demon crystals of great energy, a type of crystal obtained from them after killing them.
The water was heating up, but Qi Leren was lowering the fire. Just now, the urge to go straight to the brain was gone, and the eagerness to grab his heart and lungs faded, and he finally calmed down.
The water was boiling. Chen Baiqi slowly made a pot of tea for himself with good tea, but made a pot of chrysanthemum tea for Qi Leren.
Qi Leren hangs on the back of the chair like a dead fish. His expression is very dignified and his heart is very embarrassed. He already feels that Chen Baiqi is trying to teach him to be a man. If he does n’t admit it, he will wait for a while. Go out and run around the sunset island.
"Young people shouldn't always be in a hurry. Drink, calm down and go to the fire." Chen Baiqi said lightly.
Qi Leren held the tea cup, and honestly bowed his head and admitted: "Sorry, I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't be so impatient, even if I'm really anxious, I need to keep at least calm, can't be dazzled by personal emotions." Qi Leren obediently.
"At least the calmness is still at least not shouting at me, otherwise you think you can still sit here for tea?" Chen Baiqi smiled.
Qi Leren repeatedly said that, anyway, now Chen Baiqi said that everything is right, all good, don't go against her, this is a lesson.
"People are flustered as soon as they are impatient, and they are not far from death as soon as they are flustered. Calm, patient, observing, and grasping the timing, now you are barely qualified for one, haha, admitting mistakes is timely." Chen Baiqi smiled.
Qi Leren is not convinced. He feels that his observation level is not bad. At least I can see that Chen Baiqi is taking the opportunity to hone his temper.
Chen Baiqi seemed to see what he was thinking, and smiled coldly: "Did you not find out? The parrot who informed you is not mine at all."
Leng Khan suddenly emerged from his forehead, Qi Leren desperately thought about the parrot that knocked on his window. At that time, the light was not bright. The parrot was in the shadow. He didn't see the color of the parrot, but he subconsciously took the parrot. It was connected to the parrot that Chen Baiqi had called when he performed the blindfold intuition test. With the parrot saying "Come to me, the letter has come," Qi Leren's attention was completely The transfer did not confirm whether the parrot was Chen Baiqi's.
If this is not a small test of Chen Baiqi, but a person who knows the inside story and is hostile to him, catches him out, and assassinates while he is anxious, the consequences are unthinkable.
"That's my teacher's parrot. I borrowed it specially." Chen Baiqi blew a whistle, and a parrot flew out of the dark. Before it appeared, Qi Leren didn't even find it there. !!
When he saw this parrot again, Qi Le's talent found that he had made a ridiculous mistake—he didn't realize that this was a red parrot! It's not Chen Baiqi's green parrot at all!
Such an obvious omission, he didn't even notice the slightest difference at that time!
Qi Leren couldn't explain what he said, holding the chrysanthemum tea and drinking quietly, honestly like a Miyoshi student.
Seeing that the beating was almost finished, Chen Baiqi finally spoke: "Speaking of business, Ning Zhou's letter has been sent to me, from the underground Ant City near Purgatory. The letter says that he is going to Purgatory for the nun's dream The second round of the series of missions, if he goes well, he will return to the supply point within half a month, and then send me a letter to report that he is safe, and also inform me of the mission situation by the way. "
Qi Leren pursed his lips and wanted to ask if he was mentioned in the letter. But he also knew that Ning Zhou's implicit character, if not necessary, he could hardly take the initiative to talk to others about his mind. Even if the nostalgic thoughts and love bites his heart day and night, he still looks silent and patient.
"... In other words, even if I write to him now, he can receive it within half a month?" Qi Leren asked.
Chen Baiqi nodded: "If the situation goes well. In case he gets stuck in the task, it is hard to say, after all, the letter needs to be replenished by him, and he may not pick it up in a short time."
"Is purgatory dangerous?" Qi Leren asked knowingly. When he played "red", he had already understood the situation of underground ant city and purgatory. At this time, he asked not to seek an answer, but to feel at ease. .
"In this world, where isn't it dangerous? As long as you don't enter the gap between the two realms deep in Purgatory, Ning Zhou should still be able to cope. If he has any accidents, I will also know here that he gave me a piece before leaving. There is a drop of blood in his life crystal, as long as the crystal is not broken, it means that he is in good condition. "Chen Baiqi said, putting a crystal the size of a coin on the table, and the crystal itself was suspended on the table. An inch high, there seemed to be some invisible force that made it float there. There is a small drop of scarlet blood in the center of the crystal, and the blood is surrounded by golden and silver spots of light, slowly rotating.
Qi Leren stretched out his hand to touch it, and when he was about to touch his fingers, he secretly glanced at Chen Baiqi's face and retracted his hand.
"You can take a memorial and put it with you, too." Chen Baiqi said.
Qi Leren finally touched the crystal of life. The crystal and the hand seemed to be close to each other with the same magnetic poles. There was a strong repulsive force that would automatically maintain a distance of about an inch from the surrounding objects. If you did not deliberately use force to grasp it, It will float quietly about an inch above the palm of your hand.
"What substance is this life crystal?" Qi Leren asked.
"A special demon crystal, which is produced in the underground Ant City, is not expensive. If blood is dripped into the crystal, if the owner of the blood is seriously injured, the crystal will crack, and if a person dies, the crystal will completely break. There is nothing special outside of it. "Chen Baiqi said.
Qi Leren holding the crystal of life, as carefully as holding his precious heart: "The letter of Ning Zhou ..."
"Look at it, after all, he mentioned you." Chen Baiqi said.
Qi Leren took the letter suddenly.
Ning Zhou's handwriting has similar characteristics to his own, and his tone is exceptionally serious. At the beginning of the letter, he greeted Chen Baiqi and Qian Qian, and briefly said that he had left the Vatican Church, and then how Cross the desert of Jinghai to the underground ant city, and the recent situation of the underground ant city. He also talked about his immediate plans to go to Purgatory to trigger the second step of the mission.
This letter, without personal feelings, seems to be a routine report, but at the end there is a trace of human belonging.
"I passed a huge storm through the desert and lost my camel, but I was lucky enough to survive and came to the Valentine tribe on the Gobi ..."
"When I arrived in the underground Ant City, the demons tide ended this month, and the celebration was taking place. The crowd swarmed towards the palace and met the old dragon ant queen. Humans and demons briefly forgot about each other's seas, and survived. And ecstatic ... "
"... I walked through the lively celebrations and settled in a home furnishing society. It was late, and the crowd was still jubilant. In this place, maybe only this day is a lively and lively month ..."
There was only the last line of the letter, and Qi Leren couldn't bear to finish it.
But he still saw this last sentence, a subtle, euphemistic, too missed heart to say. Qi Leren repeatedly meditated on this sentence, so much emotion was deposited in it that the simple words were so deep and heavy that he made his eyes burst into tears.
"I dreamed of him again. It was a sweet dream."
