Chapter 124: The Dream of the Holy Nun (XIV)
Qi Leren’s hesitation fell on Su He’s eyes. He looked at him in consternation, and a little injured look appeared in his eyes, making Qi Leren feel ashamed: “Are you doubting me?”
Qi Leren had a cramp in his stomach and did not dare to look Su He in the eye, but still insisted: “Sorry, I need some proof… Please answer me, where was the first time we met?”
If the monster was pretending to be Su He in front of him, he may have watched them since they entered the Holy City, so he had to ask something that it would never know.
Su He looked at him deeply, showing a hint of melancholy under the faint candlelight next to his beautiful face, which was then concealed by the gentle smile in his eyes: “In the hospital that was your Novice Village, I disguised as an ordinary player and completed the task with you.”
With his judgement proven wrong, Qi Leren swallowed his saliva and blushed awkwardly: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I thought you were the monster…”
Dr. Lu, who was nervous on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief: “It scared me to death. I really thought you were the monster just now.”
“It is a good thing that you should have such vigilance, it will let you avoid the tragedy caused by credulity in many cases.” Su He smiled and blinked at Qi Leren again. “Now you can give me the memento.”
The ashamed Qi Leren had no face here. He turned his face and handed the brooch to Su He…
A knock came on the door, and a gentle and familiar voice came from outside. It was Su He who said, “I’m coming in.”
“……”
“!!!”
“?!”
Qi Leren jumped from the chair like he’d been given an electric shock, the brooch was put away again, and the dagger was stabbed out - the “Su He” in the before him shoved himself back in the chair, avoiding the dagger’s attack, a stack of books was overturned, the teacup was overturned, and the sound of the chair sliding on the floor completely filled the library.
Hearing the movement inside the door, Su He, who stood outside, flung open the door, stretched his right hand forward, and opened his fingers in the void - Qi Leren and the monster who were fighting felt their bodies sink, especially the standing Qi Leren, who found himself thrown to the ground.
It was so heavy, it felt like he was weighed down by a few hundred pounds and couldn’t get up at all!
The weight on his body suddenly disappeared again, and Qi Leren drifted uncontrollably and was placed in the chair to the side in good condition. He looked at the sluggish Dr. Lu, but the monster disguised as Su He had changed his appearance, and turned out to be the little girl with golden hair! She was also pressed to the ground by the terrible gravity. The complicated and beautiful dress skirt was heavily attached to her back as if wet, which made her unable to move. She said in a forced voice: “It is worthy of… a field level…”
Su He’s hand that was stretched out in the air slowly lifted and the suppressed blonde girl floated up. The scattered blonde hair blocked her face. She suddenly gave a strange laugh: “Fortunately… I didn’t come in person…”
With that said, her body exploded with a loud noise and turned into a mass of gray smoke. In the fog, a blue-black butterfly struggled to flap its wings, fell to the ground under the pressure of horrible gravity, and turned into a mass of burning flame.
Su He frowned and said regretfully, “It’s a pity that she wasn’t the host body. She was almost caught.”
“My God, I almost fell for it, but this guy is too unlucky. He just happened to hit the right button twice…” With that, Dr. Lu, who was in shock, turned his head and looked at Qi Leren. “It’s like she was your sister, she had the same horrible strain of luck as you.”
“…Shut up.” Qi Leren said depressedly.
This mysterious little girl should be the same person, or the same thing, as the one he’d seen on the terrace, and she was probably a demon, but how had she known about his first meeting with Su He? How could she possibly know?
Qi Leren searched his memories, and finally he realized a possibility.
On the first night when he’d come to the Holy City, he’d met the little girl on the terrace. She said, “Let’s dream together.” That night, he’d dreamed of the past… almost fast-forward his experience after entering the Nightmare World, until cutting off at the panic from the Castle. Now that he thought about it, “she” appeared on the terrace not only to scare him, but rather to spy on his memory. But why had his dream come to an abrupt end when he was about to see his laptop? Had he consciously stopped her in his dream, or was it because…
Qi Leren was a little afraid to think about it.
Dr. Lu was giving Su He a run down of what happened just now. Qi Leren added a few words. After Su He finished listening, he smiled calmly and looked at Qi Leren slowly: “If it were me, I would let you continue to hold the memento, and then take good care of you.”
Qi Leren’s face felt a little burnt. Su He’s voice was soft and sexy, just like a man broadcasting on a radio station in the middle of the night. What was more frightening was that he was still very good-looking. Not being fascinated at this time could only prove that his sexual orientation was very firm.
“I… I’d better keep the brooch for you,” Qi Leren said, staring at his tea because he was a little afraid to look at Su He.
“No, anyway, we will act together later, and maybe we’ll need to fish her out with this thing…” Su He said.
“All right.” Qi Leren was now scared of this invincible monster. “Since we’re all here, let’s act together. Speaking of it, where is Ning Zhou?”
Ning Zhou, who was being remembered, was standing alone in the cold night wind. He stood at the top of the castle with his arms crossed, monitoring everything around him. The eagle hovered in the moonless night sky and flew in the wind. Unlike an ordinary eagle, the eagle had excellent night vision and could see its prey move from thousands of meters away.
Nothing unusual, nothing at all.
There was silence around the castle. Looking from the top of the castle, no household had lit a lamp. Even the oil lamp on the main road had gone out, and the whole Holy City was shrouded in horrible darkness.
Although the disaster of the new moon would start at midnight, he was worried that there would be an accident. Ning Zhou had waited here since nightfall…
The eagle hovering overhead let out a loud cry, and a longbow appeared in Ningzhou’s hand. He pulled the string and the bow bent, pointing to the direction in which the devil’s energy appeared.
On the castle terrace, a group of blue-black butterflies gushed out wildly and flew into the endless night sky in the night wind. Their butterfly wings were inlaid with sapphire-like color blocks, as if pairs of devil’s eyes were blinking. The night messengers fluttered gracefully in the wind and fled.
Dark arrows shot out in the moonless night, and the sharp arrows disappeared into the darkness with the crisp sound of surprise when the bowstring was loosed. The dancing butterflies were broken by strange forces, falling heavily and burning brilliantly, and they all swirled like fireworks coming to an end. In the burning butterfly rain, a sweet little girl’s light laughter sounded:
“Don’t be impatient, I’ll come to you soon…”
The voice dispersed, and those blue-black butterflies seemed to be a beautiful dream in the night, disappearing in an instant.
