Double world undercurrent

The rain in Xiaodu was pattering, drifting over from the dark clouds over the Black Sea.In a hidden arsenal in the city, all kinds of magic weapons are piled up like a mountain.

These gadgets are of all kinds, spanning ancient and modern times, and they are all displayed in the underground building, which is a full seventeen stories high.Some of them have reached the end of their life and have been included in the ranks of antiques.

"This is the area. The sound just now was very soft, as if liquid was flowing..."

A green-skinned soldier with three ears on the left and right sides pointed at a row of artifacts with a cat waist.He put his ears on a carved sapphire vase, groped for the body of the bottle with both ears, his eyes rolled:
"Hiss...so thick of dust."

"These artifacts have been out of use for thousands of years, and there has been no movement... Oh no, it seems that there was one sound more than 100 years ago. I have to go up and check the records."

Another red-skinned, brown-eyed warehouse keeper said.

They bypassed several instruments exchanged by the witches, and carefully inspected several relics of the gods on the back shelf.

"Only divine power can activate these things, but the gods are gone... Could it be that the divine power is leaked from the monument of divine power?"

The warehouse clerk thought while rubbing his pointed chin.

"If that's the case, the monsters with a radius of dozens of kilometers should be washed into pieces, can you and I stand here? There is a high concentration of..."

"How can it be so mysterious? You see, the second prince has been in there for more than 100 years, isn't he okay?"

"That's because he has strong magic power and can bear it. If it were you and me, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out. We can't even bear the dark energy."

The green-skinned soldier moved his ear to the side of the sapphire vase, an artifact shaped like a short jade tube.He wiped off the dust on it, and the body of the white tube revealed the uneven facial patterns of gods, men and beasts.

"I heard that Princess Leng Xin sacrificed the Monument of Divine Power again today, so I almost confessed where it was..."

The red-skinned brown-eyed guard wiped the dust off the other artifacts, chatting with the green-skinned soldier:

"It was the demon king who personally signed the blood contract and spent a lot of divine energy in the soul master's soul-inducing staff to call back the princess' soul."

"Isn't that right? Your Highness even gave the princess the nursing bed for treatment. It's the bed that recognizes the Lord. If it's not someone His Highness likes, you can't lie on it."

"Tsk tsk, I don't know how many people are going to be sad again. For so many years, those officials and wealthy women sharpened their heads to attract His Highness's attention, but they were all rejected. Your Highness keeps pace with the times. Since the establishment of the new law, the establishment of the General Administration Department And the Governor's Council, even after the abolition of 'kneeling worship' and 'concubine concubine concubine', the atmosphere of the alien world has become quite pure."

"Oh, have you noticed..."

The red-skinned guard's eyes rolled:

"After His Royal Highness rescued the princess, the seal of the Monument of Divine Power seems to be not as strong as before—"

"—shush!"

The green-skinned soldier stared wide-eyed, glanced at the flickering monitoring charm in the corner, and told him to stop there:

"It's unpredictable, have you forgotten?"

"Oh……"

The guard on duty suddenly remembered something, and covered his O-shaped mouth.

The rain outside has been like fine needles, piercing into the cloud-filled city without any rules.Thousands of twists and turns, interlinked streets and alleys are interspersed among the multi-angle buildings rising from the ground.

The wet road surface is hidden in the building waves of the Qinghui Interchange Association, and it makes a rattling sound when stepped on.The accumulated water from the eaves dripped onto the shoulder robe, and the tall and thin figure straightened the corners of the hood, lowered his head slightly, and pushed the door open into a dim light.

boom!
The door behind him closed heavily, and a rope hung down from above his head, wrapped around his neck tightly, and hoisted him off the ground.

The sudden suffocation made his eyes bloodshot, his gray pupils popped out, and he couldn't lift his weak arms.But he didn't seem to have any intention of resisting.

creak creak...

The face was quickly strangled into a sauce purple...

then--

Whoosh!
The rope around the neck suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated.He fell heavily to the ground, rubbing his neck, arching his back, panting heavily.

Under the dim light, a high-backed armchair turned around, and the person on the chair was looking at him with an unknown expression, his whole face was covered under a black mask, and a large shadow fell, and he felt a cold anger.

"How can someone who doesn't even have the desire to survive convince me that they can get things done?"

He heard the other party say that the gray eyes were covered with a layer of melancholy, and the violent ups and downs of breath tended to calm down.

The person on the chair tilted his head against the back of the chair and looked at him motionlessly.

And he got up slowly, patted the dust on the robe, and murmured:

"I won't make this deal with you if I'm afraid of death."

"hiss……"

The other party leisurely crossed their fingers:
"Speaking of deals..."

There is a faint indentation on the right index finger:

"By the way... your daughter can walk around now."

There was a gleam of gray in his eyes, he blinked slightly, retracted his jaw, and went straight to the topic and said:

"This time, people from the Wu clan messed up. Next time, I won't let her be so lucky."

"Next time? Didn't you hear the news? There will be no next time... The transaction between us is terminated."

"You don't want to verify that conjecture?"

"We can substitute someone to verify."

The other party fiddled with his fingers, and he fixedly looked at the indentation on the back of the finger. A little, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he smiled on the surface and said:

"Why do you provoke me like this? For our deal, I don't even plan to stay for a long time. How can I say I won't do it?"

"But you've been exposed."

"That's not exposure."

"Sooner or later they will suspect you."

"It does not matter……"

He said calmly:
"As long as you can get rid of the princess before the seal expires, wouldn't that be enough?"

"I have to warn you... your days are numbered..."

The man in the chair stares at him, and even with the full face mask on, he feels a penetrating force:

"If you die before the mission is complete...I can't guarantee that some things will go your way...Think of your daughter..."

"I know……"

He frowned, with a trace of disgust in his eyes, and after pursing his lips, he opened his mouth slightly to speak.

The other party seemed satisfied with his response, and with a wave of the back of his hand, the high-back armchair turned back again...

The rain in the capital is getting bigger and bigger without warning, just like the temperature in a foreign world is changing and capricious.Under the dark clouds, on the outskirts of the capital shrouded in mist, the rain washed away the Chilian Mountains.

In the underground dark cave at the southern foot of the mountain range, the water droplets that seeped into the cracks in the rock flowed into the dark river. On the bank of the river, the bright green barrier has cracked into pieces and peeled off from the dark rock wall.After a rigorous search, the guards finally found the altar of the six-pointed star.

"Your Highness, we found energy fragments in the center of the altar, as well as some traces of hastily destroyed... They temporarily gave up here, but..."

Mu Feng looked around the four walls, his eyes fixed on a small gap in the corner, and he used the sound transmission technique to remotely report to Ming Shuo:

"This was supposed to be part of their base, but now it has been separated. We can try to trace back and find out where they migrated."

He saw a short pause over there, and after a little thought, a deep voice sounded:
"How long will it take to find out the results?"

After guessing, Mu Feng replied:
"If all goes well, it will take about two days."

"Release the news: the guard's search and arrest operation is over. In addition, you secretly send a few smart people to continue the lurking investigation. Don't startle the enemy. Within three days, I want to know the details of their new gathering place."

"Yes, Your Highness..."

Mu Feng's response was conveyed to the power ring between Ming Shuo's fingers in the magic palace in a concealed way.

At this time, in the northwest corner of the Demon Palace, in a sleeping hall decorated with black crystal jade walls, the streamer barrier absorbs the smoke of spells and purifies the air here.On the recuperation bed in the center of the sleeping hall, Gu Xiaoxing's body, which had almost withered and disappeared, had recovered with the return of the soul consciousness and the nourishment of the spell.

The large swath of blood was removed, and the clothes on her body were brand new, but she seemed to be very tired, and fell asleep with her eyes closed. The jade bracelet on her wrist was attached with a shielding technique, flowing with a light blue luster.

Except for Song Yu who was still staying at the nursing bed, carefully investigating the possible influence of dark energy on her, the rest of the people were all called back.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the princess is only hurt by lying down for a long time, and she hasn't recovered from her soul after returning to her body, so it's not a serious problem."

Song Yu flicked the magic thread attached to Gu Xiaoxing's fingertips, and after giving a meaningful glance at her who seemed to be asleep, she blinked her exaggerated big eyes and turned to Mingshuo and said:
"It's you, in order to save the princess, you have exhausted too much spiritual energy this day, and you need to rest and recuperate."

Mingshuo's starry eyes shone slightly, and his beautiful sword eyebrows slightly stretched.

As long as she's okay, he thought.

In order to prevent Leng Yi from returning to this world, she even chose to sacrifice herself again!At the thought of this, a feeling of fear swirled in his heart.

The shadows of yesteryear return!He almost lost her again!
She used to be blood-stained armor, and she looked like she was dying in his arms; she sealed Leng Yi and ended the dispute. At the last moment, she chose to inherit the old devil king's handed down seal to him, and entrusted him to uphold the "peace" of the former king. Will", follow the "law of balance" between the two worlds, when rebuilding the other world... the scene at that time is still vivid!
She can still be so brave and fearless, but she doesn't care, she is so stubborn that it makes people angry and distressed!
The complex emotions have passed through the Monument of Divine Power, and the mixed flavors brought to him by her memories are like vines spreading quietly from the bottom of his heart, or like the "snake desire" on the dark floor in the military tent in memory. "The same faint growth.

"Snake Desire" is unique to demon men, a product of ideas.Only appears once in a lifetime.

When a man of the Demon Race has the urge to "deeply intimacy" with a woman for the first time, and this urge is too strong to be suppressed, and he is about to put it into action, a "snake of desire" will appear nearby.

"Wanted Snake" is not a monster, it will disappear by itself within a certain period of time.And these things are naturally unknown to her who has not yet left the cabinet.

Mingshuo sometimes thinks, if she hadn't gone to the barracks to beg him to let Leng Yi go on that night hundreds of years ago; or if he hadn't hesitated when he swung the fatal blow to Leng Yi in a later battle , So let the latter seize the opportunity, counterattack Jedi, and win the round, what will be the result?
He watched Song Yan carefully diagnose and treat Gu Xiaoxing, the peaceful scene seemed to be a kind of comfort, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

The curtain beside the bed fluttered softly, still her favorite purple ever.

Ming Shuo lowered his head slightly, looking at her who was still awake.

Those trembling eyelashes, her even and calm breathing, her lips that had regained their blood color... She was still sleeping there peacefully just as he hoped deeply.

She fell asleep peacefully, but his heart was hard to calm down.

The power ring between his fingers glowed with a magical luster, which was the news from Zareth from the Investigation Department of the real world.It seems that regarding the incident of Gu Xiaoxing being attacked in the dense forest of Lonely Mountain yesterday evening, something was found out there:
"Your Highness, the scimitar-arm monster that attacked the princess yesterday has been identified. It is a new guard at the entrance of the passageway connecting the eastern suburbs of the capital to the Yangcheng Wharf."

Zareth said succinctly:
"This guy owns a spiritual oil shop in Fengcheng. It was going to close down due to poor business conditions, but he seems to have found a big buyer recently, and his business has picked up again... We found out that there was an unidentified sum in his private account. huge sum of money."

"Follow the clues and continue to investigate, find out the mastermind behind him..."

Ming Shuo caressed the black gemstone on the power ring, the luster in his eyes was sharper than the light of a curse.

"This subordinate will definitely go all out to give you and the princess a satisfactory explanation."

Zareth responded.

Now, the passage between the foreign world and the real world is strictly guarded, which is not only convenient for controlling the population flow between the two worlds, but also helps to strengthen the security around Gu Xiaoxing (for some reason, she is currently unable to stay in the foreign world for a long time. ).

There are some indications that the scimitar arm monster's pursuit of Gu Xiaoxing was organized and premeditated.They should have grasped her trajectory in advance.

However, apart from the Wu people, the only ones who can grasp Gu Xiaoxing's activities are the rebels in exile in the real world and the spies lurking in Yangcheng. Of course, other people who have had contact with her are not excluded.

Both the Rebel Party and the Witch Clan wanted to use her for the time being, so they probably wouldn't want to take her life right now. Therefore, the person who hibernated to deal with the Scimitar Arm monster and leaked information to him was most likely hiding among the spies.

As one of the agents in charge, Zaleth knew that he was to blame for the attack on the princess, and because of this, he himself couldn't escape the suspicion now.Although Mingshuo gave him enough trust by not saying anything, he was very clear about his current situation.

"Zareth..."

After pondering for a while, Ming Shuo calmly asked:
"Over the years, how many exorcism trials have been built by the Wu Clan behind their backs?"

"Counting the one that was blown up in Gucheng seven years ago, at least four have been built so far, Your Highness. However, none of these test sites have been put into use, and our people have been observing secretly."

"They have repeatedly crossed the line, and now they dare to trouble the princess..."

Ming Shuo tugged on his collar, his expression darkened:
"They should be taught a lesson."

Zareth quite agrees, his eyes are full of vigor:
"This subordinate will do it..."

"Um……"

Ming Shuo stroked the ring lightly, and looked towards Gu Xiaoxing patiently:

"It's over."

"The subordinates understand..."

Although the Witch Clan made a mistake and messed up the scimitar arm monster's assassination plan for Gu Xiaoxing, but these things are one thing at a time.

Sometimes, proper deterrence is necessary...

Mingshuo saw that after Song Yan finished reciting the last healing mantra lightly, she retracted the healing threads on her fingertips, and her broad forehead was slightly soaked in sweat.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have not discovered any substantial impact of dark energy on the princess, but..."

Song Yu frowned slightly:

"Some effects are very subtle, such as emotional fluctuations, the emergence of inner demons, etc., which need to be judged through future observations."
