Chapter 86: Castle Cry (XIII)
“Sure, no problem . ” Qi Leren took the lead in responding to Su He’s request, and his expression was calm .
Now he has a little understanding why the first thing the court trained him in was how to lie, it was really a very practical skill .
Adversely, Dr . Lu was a little puzzled . He looked at Su He and asked nervously, “What are you talking about?”
Su He smiled, moving as if asking another to dance at a ball . He bent slightly, with one hand behind him and the other hand outstretched to Dr . Lu . Dr . Lu gave him a suspicious look and took his hand obediently .
They only stood still in front of Qi Leren for two or three seconds . Dr . Lu withdrew his hand and said with amazement, “Wow, the Village of Dawn looks beautiful! It’s not the same style as the Village of Dusk at all . I like the Village of Dawn!”
Su He nodded with a smile: “It’s true that the style is very different, but I really like the Village of Dusk, with how lively it is . The Village of Dawn is really too quiet . ”
The conversation between the two made Qi Leren a little puzzled: “What are you talking about?”
“You also try, it’s very interesting!” Dr . Lu pushed Qi Leren and urged him .
Su He also held out his hand to him . He was wearing a pair of white gloves that made his hands look more slender . Qi Leren looked into his eyes as if he knew nothing of what had happened earlier . Su He was looking at him . His eyes were calm and gentle without any inquiry or malicious intent . When he looked at a person like this, it was hard for anyone to refuse him .
Qi Leren held out his hand .
At the moment when their hands touched each other, Qi Leren’s eyes were filled with light and shadow . In an instant, he was standing on a tall tower with several white clouds floating in the blue sky . Looking around, the earth beneath his feet turned out to be countless islands floating in the air, just like a flock of white pigeons in the vast blue sky . In the far east, the bright morning sun was rising over the horizon in the depths of the mountains, dispelling the darkness and coldness and making people feel warm .
“This is the Village of Dawn?” Qi Leren stood on the edge of the white handrail and looked at the fantastic and beautiful boundary in amazement .
“It is the Village of Dawn, but of course, it’s just a field constructed in my memory . I hope to take you there one day . ” Su He came to him and looked out with him at the quiet and beautiful land covered by the dawn .
“I hope…” Qi Leren, who are still living in the shadow of the seed, have never thought about things so far away . “But what is a field?”
“Well, to put it simply, a field is a small world built by itself . If you’re strong enough, you can even build a field similar to a copy world . The world in the field and the world outside have different speeds of time, so resting and training in the field has good results,” Su He said .
Qi Leren never knew there was such a thing, and his knowledge was still too shallow: “Does everyone have a field?”
“Of course not . ” Su He smiled gently and patiently said, “There should be no more than thirty people in the Nightmare World . ”
Qi Leren swallowed saliva, and the psychological pressure in the face of Su He was even greater .
The air in the Village of Dawn was fresh, unlike the smell of engine oil everywhere in the Village of Dusk, where there was always a roaring mechanical sound in the ear . It was so quiet here that it didn’t look like there were any other people at all . However, at this time, Qi Leren had no intention of enjoying the scenery at all, and nervously thought about how to hide from Su He .
As long as he refused to admit it, did Su He have any evidence to prove that the mission error was related to him? Even if he was a high-level player from the Village of Dusk, or even a half GM, he couldn’t know his experiences from before entering the Nightmare World .
“Qi Leren,” Su He’s voice rang in his ear .
Qi Leren, who was prepared psychologically, raised his head and was ready to accept Su He’s interrogation .
Su He was looking at him and the smile on his mouth faded . He looked more serious than before: “I noticed just now, what happened to that thing behind your neck?”
“?!”
Qi Leren failed to conceal his shock at that moment and looked at Su He in astonishment .
He actually found out? And it was at a glance that he noticed the seed of slaughter?

“I’ve done some research on the power of demons, and that kind of energy can’t hide from me . ” With a slight sigh, Su He went to the center of the terrace and pulled the chair beside the small round table . “Sit down, let’s talk . ”
Like a student caught cheating by a teacher, Qi Leren came to the table in fear, hesitated, and sat down .
There is a beautiful tea set on the small round white table . Su He took off his gloves, made him a pot of black tea without saying a word, and put a cup in front of him . With his silence, Su He put more pressure on Qi Leren, who would rather Su He question him than be so silent .
Qi Leren, who was on pins and needles, had turned countless thoughts in his brain . Deny it? Impossible, Su He and have already discovered it, he absolutely could not hide it . Honest account? Even more impossible, the requirement of the Court was that he must never reveal his undercover identity . Pretend to be infected by accident? It seemed that… that was the only way .
When Su He and her tea were ready, Qi Leren had already thought out the countermeasures and calmed down .
“Although I didn’t leave you for very long, when I saw you again, I saw that you’ve grown a lot from how you were at the beginning . ” Su He didn’t ask about seed as soon as he opened his mouth, but reminisced with him with emotion .
Qi Leren was a little unsure of his rhythm, so he had to talk to him first: “… Because a lot of things have happened . When people are struggling on the edge of life and death, they will always grow faster . ”
The black tea in the cup was sending out a curl of mist, which was full of rich and mellow flavor . On the top terrace of the towering white tower, two people with different thoughts casually talked about their experiences in these days .
“After sending you to Maka Village, which started the Witchcraft Sacrifice mission that day, I was worried for a long time . The mission involved demons, and it was easy for you to encounter accidents as a newcomer . I asked a friend in the Twilight Township to pay attention to your situation and learned that you were still alive . It was really good… Well, it was great . ” Su He made no secret of his concern, and spoke cheerfully .
Qi Leren felt more and more guilty . Su He had always taken care of him, but he had to deceive him…
For a moment, he wanted to tell the whole story, and confided his uneasy, painful, confused and guilty feelings . His heart contained too many secrets, which overwhelmed him .
“I… I’m fine . The Witchcraft Sacrifice was really difficult, but I was lucky,” Qi Leren said with a strong smile .
Although luck never took his side, he lived to the end . Maybe all his luck was spent on meeting Ning Zhou . If it wasn’t for Ning Zhou, he would never have survived the Witchcraft Sacrifice task .

Su He showed an interested expression: “Oh? I’m quite interested in the task involving demons . Can you tell me about it? ”
Qi Leren suddenly fell into a dilemma . If he wanted to say it, he would definitely mention Ning Zhou, but if he refused… He really couldn’t bear to disappoint Su He again .
“If you swear not to laugh at me, I will tell you,” Qi Leren said gloomily .
Su He looked at him with some surprise: “Of course I won’t laugh at you . If my request makes you feel embarrassed, I’m sorry… In fact, I don’t have to know . ”
With this said, he nodded a little apologetically to Qi Leren, apologizing for his embarrassing request .
Qi Leren’s previous embarrassment also dissipated: “No, I don’t feel embarrassed . I also feel that some areas of this task were very strange . I want to hear your opinion . ”
Su He blinked and said, “I will listen carefully to what you say . ”
“The Witchcraft Sacrifice task was a bit special . Just like its task name, the object of participation is a ‘witch’ . So at the beginning of the mission, I woke up in the carriage and found that I had become a… girl . ”
Su He’s hands, that had been adding black tea to Qi Leren’s cup, shook and added two drops of tea stains to the white tablecloth .
Qi Leren’s eyes suddenly became resentful . He really wanted to laugh: “You promised not to laugh at me . ”
Su He pressed his fist against his mouth and coughed twice: “I didn’t laugh . ”
Having said that, he couldn’t hide it with his smiling eyes: “I just thought, what would you look like if you became a girl…”
“It was very ordinary,” Qi Leren said with a straight face .

“My feeling tells me that you must have been a very lovely girl . ” Su He smiled and pointed to the corner of his eye . “Your eyes are very beautiful, and the outer corner of your eye tilts downward . If it’s on a girl, it will be a very obvious drooping eye and it will look very innocent .
"Then the lips, the lip shape is very good, the cupid’s bow in the middle of the upper lip is obvious, and the corners of the mouth are a little tilted . ” Su He’s index finger was placed on his lips, like a gesture of silence . “A girl with this lip shape must be very cute . ”
“Hold on, we are not discussing this kind of problem now, I am a man, a man, OK?” Qi Leren was inexplicably ashamed and quickly stopped Su He’s conjecture . He secretly felt that with Su He’s appearance, half of the sisters must have fallen under his suit pants . What was even more frightening was that he is still very good at talking, so maybe the other half can’t hold it back either .
Although it seems a little regrettable, Su He nodded with great cooperation and listened to him carefully .
When it came to Ning Zhou again, Qi Leren’s mood had calmed down, and he could describe him calmly and objectively, instead of being indignant . Qi Leren didn’t say too much about Ning Zhou, and his skills were basically vague in the past, even his name didn’t come out . He only said that they defeated Ye Xia, finished the task, and didn’t say anything after returning to the Village of Dusk .
Su He listened quietly . He was really an expert listener, never giving random opinions or asking questions about things he didn’t want to say .
“That’s probably it . What do you think?” Qi Leren said wistfully .
Su He’s hands were folded and placed beside the teacup . The index fingers of his left and right hands were constantly changing positions up and down . He seems to be thinking about something . In the empty and silent world under the blue sky and white clouds, he had been silent for a long time, and then sighed lightly: “The person you mentioned is a man . ”
Qi Leren took a sip of fragrant black tea from the teacup to cover up his complicated mood at this moment: “How did you find out?”
“A lot of details . You deliberately avoided mentioning him in many places, unless you had to mention him . You only said what you did: you risked your life to distract the bone dragon for him, and loaded the file for him three times in a row at the last moment, but you never mentioned his reaction . But I can guess even if you don’t say it . Unless you’re a hard-hearted person, how can you be indifferent to such a person? You must have met later, but the result was regrettable . Most importantly, you didn’t use any words referring to the opposite sex to describe him . You only said 'that person’, and even once you used the word 'goddess’ by a slip of the tongue, but you immediately corrected to 'that person’ . Combined with the fact that this copy would make men temporarily change into a woman’s appearance, you can easily think of the answer before you start your statement . ” Su He spoke his analysis slowly, and every point was concise .
In front of Su He, it was very difficult for Qi Leren to hide himself .
“Yes, as you guessed, we met once after the mission, and then… there was no more . ” Qi Leren gave a wry smile . He didn’t say anything about sweeping the grave, let alone telling Ning Zhou’s ring . It was like a secret between them, or even a secret that belonged to just him .
Because Ning Zhou wouldn’t know - and even he doesn’t know why - he took the ring .
