Chapter 61: Purgatory Reunion (13)

Its daybreak.
There is no sun in the underground Ant City, but Qile people still know that it is dawn, this is an intuition.
Look at the time again, at 7.20 in the morning. If Chen Baiqi was training there, it would be too late at this time. If he set off for her at this moment, he would definitely get the "love care" of the three-headed dog. But for someone who is on a rare vacation, this hour is still early.
In fact, you can sleep for a while, but ... Qi Leren sat up from his bed. Now that he is awake, it is better to make breakfast for Ning Zhou. The living room here is connected to the kitchen.
Thinking of this, Qi Leren quickly jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on clothes and came to the bedroom door, then rubbed his hands to fix his mind, gently unscrewed the door handle, and prepared to walk out lazily.
As soon as the door opened, a smell of fried eggs passed into Qi Leren's nose. He froze and looked straight into the kitchen.
Hot coffee, hot sausages and slices of bread were already placed on the table. He heard the sound of opening the door seriously in Ning Zhou, who was fried eggs, and looked back at him, saying with a smile: " early."
"Early." Qi Leren felt that he was still dreaming.
Dream ... By the way, he seemed to have dreamed last night, but now when I think about it again, I can't remember anything, just remember that it should be a beautiful dream.
Ning Zhou skillfully put the fried eggs on the plate with a spatula. Qi Leren quickly walked over and held up the plate to handle.
It was not the first time for Qi Leren to see Ning Zhou cooking. Before the undercover mission of the Killing Meeting ended and the mission of the nuns began, he and Ning Zhou lived together briefly, as long as it was for Ning Zhou's training. At that time, the two people who were secretly in love with each other but were patiently avoided many topics, and many times even avoided each other intentionally. But the scene of eating together silently in the dusk, still wanting to come is filled with a different kind of warmth.
This restraint runs through this relationship, and even if it is frank now, the two are still restrained.
When you like someone you can be very presumptuous, because this impulse came so enthusiastically, so enthusiastically that you were so brave. You may even forget to think and let your instincts dominate you to let go of your emotions without thinking whether it will hurt the person you like. Because at that time, you just wanted to get it.
But when you fall in love with a person and want to spend a lifetime with him, you lose that courage, become timid, and suffer. You begin to exercise restraint and learn to pull off the spikes one by one, to express your love tenderly, and not to use the excuse of "love" to hurt the person you love. Because at this time, what you want is forever.
"I'll brush my teeth first!" Qi Leren put the plate on the table, rushed into the bathroom and spent the usual third of his time brushing his teeth without washing his face because he didn't want Ning Zhou to wait too long. But he took a serious look at himself in the mirror, and combed his curled hair with a wet comb.
After dozens of seconds, Qi Leren sat upright at the dining table with a knife and a fork in his hand, and happily ate breakfast.
Qi Le people are actually not used to this kind of western breakfast. When his mother went out to play movies, his father threw him a few dollars irresponsibly to buy breakfast for himself. He usually bought soy milk fritters and passed them on. When my mother was at home, my father brought out eighteen cooking skills from Cantonese refreshments to the northern aspect of food. It was not the same for a month. Only Western-style breakfast was not made, and Qi Leren who was able to eat and drink relying on his mother had some opinions on breakfast. No, I have been used to it for more than twenty years.
The western-style breakfast was a little too greasy for him, which made him accustomed to the soy milk fritters' stomach, but this was made by Ning Zhou. Qi Leren not only finished it all, but also praised it with a smile, because Outstanding acting skills, Ning Zhou did not see at all that he was reluctant.
Looking at Ning Zhou's very happy look, Qi Leren felt that he would be willing to play all his life.
After having breakfast, the two went to the base of the underground city of Twilight, where they were disguised as a small auction house. The contact person responsible for the entire division, Celia, did not sleep all night. The office was full of black coffee. She added sugar to it and smiled bitterly: "I sent someone to interrogate Catherine overnight. A lot of news was dug up. "
"What's the news?" Qi Leren came to the spirit as soon as he heard it, and pulled Ning Zhou to sit down.
"After Catherine fled from the Twilight Land, considering her demon identity, she chose the underground Ant City where humans and demons live together. As a coincidence, an old lover of her earlier years happened to be greedy in the Ant City. The witch ran the property and settled there. After the illusionist disappeared, we investigated his whereabouts. He had been to this casino before heading to the dragon queen's palace. A gambler saw him and told him I was very impressed. Later, our informant reported the incident and went to the gambler to verify it. Then he disappeared in the underground casino. Catherine admitted that the informant had fallen into her hands. After questioning from the informant that he was looking for an illusionist, she raised the vigilance of the underground casino, and then met you who disguised to probe the news. "
"So, the illusionist still has no news?" Qi Leren frowned.
"Yes, we don't know why he went to that underground casino now." Celia was also troubled. "But it is certain that he finally disappeared in the dragon queen's palace."
"Last time you said, you need the prophet's hand to enter the palace?" Qi Leren asked.
Celia nodded: "I've also written your second request for your business and will have a reply next week. Until then ... I don't have the power to make such a big deal."
Although Celia is in charge of all the affairs in the underground Ant City in the Twilight Village, after all, she only acts on behalf of the prophets in this area. Once the matter involves the Dragon Ant Queen who is also a master of the field, she has no right Make decisions again.
Qi Leren is not clear about the delicate relationship between domain masters. He doesn't even know how many domain masters in the entire nightmare world-vaguely remembers Su He, but now he does n’t even believe Su He ’s punctuation. Already.
"Queen Dragon Ant, what's the news?" Ning Zhou asked suddenly.
Celia hesitated, and shook her head slightly: "No news ... this is probably the best news. She is now in the stage of returning to the light, and this time has passed ..."
This means that the queen who has dominated the underground Ant City for more than two decades has died and has given her authority to the new queen.
What attitude does the new queen take towards humans and demons? Is it close to humans, or is it close to demons? Will she expand the sphere of influence of the underground Ant City, or will she focus more on stability and peace in her field? Which devil will she follow? All this is related to the ecology of the underground ant city in the next ten or twenty years, and the humans living here are more concerned about this issue.
Among the previous queen of dragon ants, a few were more friendly towards human beings. During that time, humans had gained a higher status. However, most of the time, the queen of dragon ants was not friendly to humans. She can tolerate human beings living within her sphere of influence, but that's all.
"How did the dragon ant queen's field pass down? Any clues?" Qi Leren asked curiously. He knows something from the materials, but this method of inheritance is a complete secret.
Celia shook her head: "Most fields decline with the death of the owner of the field, and will die in decades. There is a special inheritance method at the Holy See, and the fields of the Pope have been passed down perfectly."
Is the pope's realm homeless? Qi Leren glanced at Ning Zhou and was arrested.
"The coagulation method is different," Ning Zhou said.
Qi Leren seemed to understand. He knew that Ning Zhou had used the Holy See to condense more than half of the realm, but the half realm was very fragile and broke before condensing into realm, but now ...
He should have re-condensed the field, as evidenced by what happened yesterday in the underground casino.
Find an opportunity to discuss this issue with Ning Zhou in depth. He really cares about the power of himself, and this demon power brewing and destroying means endless pain to him.
"Oh, in addition, you asked me the same thing as before, but there are some questions ..." Celia took a sip of coffee and talked about it.
Mrs. Catherine's descendant Asi has been missing for a month. She can still sense the existence of the descendant, but can't sense his location. There is a strange evil force that cuts off her connection to the descendant. .
"She also said that once she saw a man who looked like Asi. At that time, he was fighting fiercely with a man with a tang, because she was too far away to see clearly, and after the two left, she went to the scene to see A glance, a fragment of the wall. So Catherine thought that she should have read it wrong. Although her descendants are good and considerate, they are mediocre and cannot be like this with such a powerful master. "Celia said.
Qi Leren did not agree: "Don't she say that her descendants are controlled by an evil force? Maybe something like the kind of killing?"
"It is also possible for you to say, but according to Catherine's tone, the level of the two people is not only the level of the parasitic species killed. Moreover, after so many days have passed, I am afraid there are not many valuable clues at the scene." Xi Leah said.
"Do you need any help now?" Qi Leren asked.
"On the illusionist side, we can only wait for a response from the courthouse. There are special staff to handle other matters. If there is time, the two may help us to go to the place where Mrs. Catherine mentioned that it was suspected to see Assi." Celia smiled and looked at them expectantly.
Qi Leren and Ning Zhou exchanged a look and answered.
