Chapter 2359: Lies of the Psychic

Game time AM11:21

【Cuifeng】Tavern, second floor

"Huh-ha-oh my goodness, why has it come to this?"

The bad hot girl stretched herself lazily without any image, then after glancing at the system interface, her eyes suddenly widened with surprise.

"Ok?"

Yi Dong, who was sitting opposite him, was also stunned. He glanced at the system time and showed the same expression as the other party. He was confused and said, "How come it's almost noon..."

"Who says it isn't?"

The bad girl casually swept the mostly empty plates in front of her aside and slumped down on the table. Contrary to her current makeup, she muttered in a soft tone and expression, "I'm so lazy. I don't want to do the task at all."

Yi Dong was also lazily leaning back in his chair and asked with interest: "Mission? What mission?"

"It's a good mission that's worth my trip all the way to the Southeast Continent, and the rewards are very generous."

The girl raised her eyelids, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and glared at Yi Dong. Then she suddenly smiled evilly and raised her eyebrows, "Wait a minute, do you think... I came here specially to see you?"

Yi Dong also raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "That's right, I was wondering what the difference is between the public space and the game. If you have a mission and just come here for a while, it makes sense."

“Actually, there is a difference.”

The bad girl remained lying on the table, raised her right hand and snapped her fingers: "For example, you can't fight in public spaces, but here..."

Snapped--

As a beholder that had been frozen into an ice sculpture fell straight from midair to the ground, Yi Dong retracted his right index finger that he had just pointed out, still maintaining a decent but unyielding smile: "Forget it, I lost the individual competition convincingly, and I don't plan to prove myself elsewhere."

"I don't intend to give you a chance to prove yourself."

The bad hottie seemed to prop herself up somewhat reluctantly, looked around the elegant and bright second floor of the tavern, and said leisurely: "Such a nice environment, it would be a pity if it were contaminated by the undead power that ruins the view, so... I'll leave first, thank you for your hospitality?"

Yi Dong pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "So why do you use question marks to express your gratitude?"

"Because I was originally planning to give you a chance to go Dutch, but you don't look like you need money, so forget it."

The bad hottie stood up, casually pushed back a strand of hair that was hanging by her ear, and added, "Of course, it won't be considered a favor."

"Who wants to do you a favor?"

Yi Dong sat motionless in his chair, turned his head to look out the window and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Go and do your thing. If you need help, just let me know. I'm a little busy, but I still have some connections here. Of course, it will really be a favor when the time comes."

The bad girl smiled, then turned around and walked downstairs without looking back, waving her hand and saying, "I understand. I'll try not to owe you a favor."

Just like that, the figure of the bad hot girl quickly disappeared at the stairs, and appeared outside the window a moment later, and was subconsciously taken into sight by Yidong who was leaning against the window and looking into the distance.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that the other person's seat on the second floor was very suitable for observing the outside world, so she did not look up at Yidong, but put on her cloak again and walked away quickly. Although she did not disappear from the latter's sight immediately due to the route she took, she did not look back until she could no longer be seen clearly by her lover.

……

Time flies, a glance is a thousand years

Two minutes later, Yi Dong finally withdrew his gaze, which he had not intended to linger on the other person's back for too long, but the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disappear.

The short two hours of chatting was neither long nor short. It was informative, but if you think about it carefully, it didn't seem to be very nutritious. It was also not nutritious, as a lot of topics were discussed. All in all, although Yi Dong did not feel disappointed by the other party's abrupt departure, he quite enjoyed the slightly leisurely chat atmosphere. So much so that if the bad hot girl hadn't reminded him, he would not have realized that this impromptu meeting had lasted for more than two hours.

After shaking his head slightly, Yidong cleaned up the remaining snacks and drinks, went downstairs to thank the half-dragon proprietress who belonged to the female bee, and reluctantly accepted the snack box that the other party stuffed into him before saying goodbye and leaving.

At the same time when he left the pub, the slightly charming peach-pink feelings just now had been rationally deconstructed. Although there was still a little bit of nostalgia, it could no longer have any impact on his thoughts.

Indeed, even though Yi Dong was a liberal arts student, he knew that the description of perceived time in the Theory of Relativity was quite similar to what he had just experienced, but he did not think it could really prove anything.

Therefore, the leisure time that made people feel nostalgic just now was just a leisure time that made people feel nostalgic.

It is irresponsible to yourself and disrespectful to others to rashly and carelessly give it additional meaning.

Yi Dong, whose values are by no means correct and whose principles are flexible in some aspects, has actually always been an exceptionally "clear-headed" person. Coupled with his parents' dedication to his education, he has been an extremely outstanding person in the social level since he was a child. If he had not met someone, he might have been a pillar of society that is useful to him.

Thus, the young and promising man did not take a single wrong step and soon returned to his temporary residence in the city - No. 21, Langxin Street, South District.

This is a very large mansion registered under the name of Grand Duke Emilyne Wolf Christo, located at the end of the best long street in Amethyst City. It not only has a large courtyard and a three-story main house, but also a very spacious basement. Judging from the value of the mansion alone, it is no less than the outskirts of the aristocratic district of Saramoon, the imperial capital of the Violet Empire.

However, despite the high value of this mansion, its owner is unaware of its existence. Of course, this is not some confusing conspiracy theory, but simply because... the current Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf and Regent Princess Emily Wolf Crystal has too much property under her name.

You have to know that the entire Crystal Wolf Territory is almost her family business. Not only that, after officially establishing a relationship with the Regent, many industries in the Marshall, Dantes and Hussein Territories were inexplicably attributed to the young Duchess. So if Emmeline is not crazy, she would never try to remember all her property.

In addition to the old steward of the Bloodseekers and the family-related specialists, the person who helps her manage her property now includes His Royal Highness the Regent. Of course, His Royal Highness the Regent is actually not aware of the matter of this property. The person who arranged a temporary residence for Yidong is Xiaona, the leader of the [Female Bees] who is far away in the imperial capital of Saramoun.

In fact, as long as it involves the reasonable or unreasonable demands of Shuangye, Tanmo and their relatives, Xiaona handles it in most cases. After all, His Royal Highness the Regent is very busy. Although he has not died from overwork, he is not idle enough to take time out to deal with the trivial matters and troubles of his "friends".

All in all, this place has become the temporary hideout for Yidong and one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

"You're back, Master Winter!"

As soon as Yidong stepped into the main hall on the first floor, a tall and strong black-skinned orc, [War] Crabbe Carrich, came up to him with a grin. Although his attitude was not respectful, his innocent look made people feel very comfortable and friendly.

Yi Dong nodded and asked casually, "Where are Ned and the other three?"

"Master Winter."

"Hello, Master Winter~"

Before Crabbe could reply, two other so-called Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Ned Fram of Plague and Yinna Morning Dew of Death, came out from the side hall. Although their greetings were relatively casual, they all politely bowed to Yidong.

However, the latter was not very impressed by this politeness, so he emphasized helplessly for the umpteenth time: "I told you not to be so polite. This 'grace of rebirth' in the physical sense is actually not worth much. If you want to make me more comfortable, just be casual like Crabbe." "Okay!"

Yinna responded very obediently, and then asked curiously with sparkling eyes: "Master Winter, did your date go smoothly this time?"

"Ugh, cough, cough!!!"

After hearing this, Yi Dong burst into a violent cough and subconsciously turned himself into a "dead" state, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being choked by saliva and bleeding. He stared with a pair of eyes that were not closed and said in a shocked voice: "What the hell is a date! I'm just meeting with a friend to chat for a while!"

"Oh……"

Yinna murmured in disappointment, but did not continue to ask questions. Obviously, she chose the latter between "gossip" and "not embarrassing Master Winter". It can be said that she was quite sensible.

After the other party behaved, Yi Dong also transformed back to the living state, and returned to the handsome man he was before he began to decay. He casually changed the subject and asked, "Where's Salazar?"

"I'm here, Master Winter."

The shirtless lizardman who had just come up from the basement, Salazar Brief, bowed slightly to Yi Dong and said meticulously, "I think it's enough for the three of them to go out and 'observe the situation', so I practiced in the underground training ground that was just set up last night, intending to cooperate with you to observe and 'adapt to the situation' from another angle."

Yi Dong nodded with some satisfaction and asked, "What was the result?"

"what do you think?"

Salazar did not answer directly, but instead asked a confusing question in return.

"I think……"

Yi Dong, who knew that the other person was quite serious, narrowed his eyes. After careful consideration, he realized the clue and said in surprise: "You were all in the room, but I didn't notice anyone except Crabbe who appeared in front of me at the beginning. No, even if it was Crabbe, I only 'saw' him, not 'felt' him!"

Salazar nodded and said seriously, "That's right."

Crabbe scratched the back of his head in confusion, wondering, "What do you mean? Isn't Master Winter a wizard? He wouldn't go home and turn on detect magic, right? Or is it that necromancers are not wizards?"

"A necromancer is also a mage."

Yi Dong, who knew very well that the other party was referring to the fact that the mysterious professionals were already very bad at capturing auras, shook his head and explained: "Although the necromancers are not as sensitive to 'living beings' as the undead creatures, their perception of the 'dead' and 'undead' is better than that of normal professionals, but you..."

Crabbe looked at Yidong innocently: "But us?"

"But I didn't notice the other three people besides you just now. Ned and Yinna were in the side hall next to me, and Salazar was in the underground training ground, but I didn't notice them until they showed up."

Yidong did not despise Crabbe, who did not seem to be contaminated by knowledge. Instead, he walked up to Salazar with a solemn expression, and under the gaze of the four people, he completely transformed himself into the state of "dead". Then he put his right hand on the other's shoulder, and the azure soul fire in his eyes was deep and bright.

The four of them also became serious, holding their breath and watching Master Winter who was "examining" Salazar.

"deceased."

After a moment, Yi Dong withdrew his right hand and nodded slightly, saying seriously: "You are still the 'dead', but after the previous in-depth 'fusion', you... uh..."

Noticing that Yidong was at a loss for words, Yinna immediately became nervous and asked, "What happened to us?!"

"Although you are still dead, you are still..."

Yi Dong stroked his chin and hesitated, "Did he die in a more hidden way?"

"The death was more hidden?!"*4

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were all stunned, and then they said this in unison.

"Yes, although this description is a bit ridiculous, your death was indeed more secretive."

Yi Dong paced back and forth in the spacious front hall, muttering to himself, "Although you have no chance of survival, even I have to use 'clairvoyance' in this state to confirm this fact."

Upon hearing this, even Ned was a little confused and said in astonishment: "But we don't even have a heartbeat!"

"First, although the cardiopulmonary functions of most humans, orcs, and elves are consistent with my understanding, as far as I know, the heart rate of lizardmen like Salazar can become very slow, and some blood seekers and some orcs are special cases, and their heart rate can even be reduced to once every few minutes."

Yi Dong, who had already made some achievements in the study of necromancy, shook his head and said in a subtle tone: "Besides that..."

"besides?"

"There is one more very important detail."

"What details?"

"Your hearts are already at a point where it doesn't matter if they're dug out, but... they still seem to be beating."

"what?!"

"If you don't believe me, try touching it."

"Ah this..."

"So, it seems that I have successfully deceived your body unintentionally."

"Deceived our...bodies?"

"Yes, trick it into thinking it's still alive."

"???"
