Chapter 55: Purgatory Reunion (Seventh)

Qi Leren woke up. When he woke up, he felt very tired and didn't want to open his eyes. He just wanted to let his deep sleep drag him and let him continue to sleep.

But he was confused and felt something was wrong. He should have been sitting under the rock wall, but now the things on the back of his head were not as uncomfortable as the rock wall, and why did he feel like he was lying down...

Qi Leren woke up in fear, opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately saw Ning Zhou sitting next to the rock wall.

Their positions were changed at some point, and they became him pillowing on Ning Zhou's legs, and the blanket was also placed on him. Ning Zhou sat on the rock wall and rested with his eyes closed. Just when he woke up, Ning Zhou also opened his eyes, without any sleepiness in his eyes.

"Why don't you take a rest for a while?" Qi Leren quickly sat up and asked worriedly.

Ning Zhou shook his head: "I've already slept enough."

When Qi Leren looked at the time, eight hours passed.

Since they were awake, Qi Leren simply moved the picnic props that came from Chen Baiqi from the prop bar and made a fire to make some hot food for Ning Zhou. The method was quite simple and crude. He threw a small piece of demon crystal into a vessel filled with water. The water was immediately heated to boil by the energy in the demon crystal. Then he put the pot on and started heating the things, and skillfully cooked the noodles.

While cooking, Qi Leren talked about what happened when the two parted. When Chen Baiqi was training for him, he looked sad: "...I was very desperate when I was chased by a dog. When I thought of this kind of life, I couldn't know when, and I wanted to jump into the sea and never get on again."

As he said that, Qi Leren thought this was inappropriate and added: "Of course, the training effect is still very good, otherwise I should have died of it in the end of the mission."

After saying that, Qi Leren felt that he was mentally retarded again. Shouldn’t he talk about some relaxed topics when he met again after a long time? Why did his IQ plummet when he arrived in front of Ning Zhou?

Sure enough, Ning Zhou showed a worried look.

"Hi, nothing, am I fine?" Qi Leren quickly changed the subject, "Where is your big black bird?"

Yuying was released from her pet bag by Ning Zhou. As soon as she came out, she began to shake her hair. She got the [likable ration] fed by Qi Leren, and swallowed it in one mouthful.

The noodles were cooked, and the two of them ate the hot noodles and continued to talk after they finished eating.

They are not people who are good at expressing their feelings, and they even have a natural shyness towards love. The two tacitly avoided the topic of love, as if they had forgotten why they were here after this night. Ning Zhou did not say the joy he had after learning that Qi Leren was resurrected, and Qi Leren did not say the love he hid in his heart. But for some reason, at this moment, the two had a kind of intuition that was intellect.

They observed carefully, and their heartbeats even when they accidentally touched their fingers. They didn't express their meaning when Qi Leren spoke several times, but Ning Zhou didn't notice it and nodded aside.

"You are not curious, how did I know you are here?" Qi Leren asked. Ning Zhou didn't even know about Qi Leren's resurrection, because the letter could only be sent to the transfer station of the underground Ant City. After Ning Zhou finished writing the letter, he went to Purgatory and never received the letter.

Ning Zhou nodded. He was indeed very curious. When Qi Leren saw the huge demon dragon in the Fire Lake, he recognized it as his?

"Actually, this sounds a bit complicated... I'm in reality... Well, when I was living in the world, I used to download a game called "Nightmare Game" on my laptop." Qi Leren thought about the sentence and was about to start from scratch, but he choked up as soon as he started. "This... what the laptop is may be a bit complicated to explain..."

Qi Leren suddenly thought that Ning Zhou, as a person born in a nightmare world, might not know what it was.

"I know." Ning Zhou said, a smile appeared in his eyes, "I have done a copy mission from your era."

"Really? What does it feel?" Qi Leren became energetic and asked curiously.

"I needed to make a phone call with my cell phone at that time, and I looked at it for a long time with my cell phone." Ning Zhou said.

Qi Leren burst out laughing, and Ning Zhou also laughed: "At that time, I really didn't know anything. When I saw the gas stove, I thought about where the demon crystal was installed for a long time. As for the computer, I couldn't figure it out. I guess it was an alchemy product."

Qi Leren was overjoyed and smiled for a long time before asking, "Did you learn it later?"

Ning Zhou nodded.

"Have you ever played computer games?" Qi Leren asked again.

"Well, I like mine sweeping." Ning Zhou said, with a serious and sincere expression.

To finish, if you like minesweeping, it is very likely that Ning Zhou, who has only played the computer-owned game, can understand the nightmare game he mentioned? Qi Leren was deeply worried. But despite his worries, Qi Leren tried his best to describe the matter with easy-to-understand sentences. From playing the game, he entered the novice village, and went to the castle's horror to see the laptop again and get the resurrected easter egg. Finally, he kept talking about the last mission. He learned about Ning Zhou's accident through the game in the laptop in advance - of course he didn't say that he almost died after breaking his hand. He didn't want Ning Zhou to worry.

Qi Leren comforted: "In my eyes, no matter what power you use, I believe you will only use it to protect the world."

Ning Zhou looked at him deeply, his complex mood was indescribable.

What is the end of power? When chasing the unpredictable mystery, people with power are destined to move closer to power. The closer they get, the more they lose themselves. Before achieving half-domain, this feeling is not very strong, but after reaching the half-domain realm, every step afterward is moving closer to the origin.

But in the end he said nothing, just nodded slightly.

Once a person has expectations, even if it is just a little bit weak, he will no longer be willing to close his eyes in a hurry.

He was going to look at his light until the day when he had to destroy it.

The road back to the underground Ant City was surprisingly smooth. Qi Leren thought that the dense sentry before would cause them trouble, but he did not expect that the demons guarded disappeared without a trace, which made him feel very confused.

"When I came before, there were many guards here, but now they have been withdrawn." Qi Leren wondered.

Ning Zhou looked back at the sentry that had passed, thinking about something.

"Is it because of your relationship when entering and leaving the purgatory before?" Qi Leren asked.

"Maybe it was because of the Demon Killing." Ning Zhou calmly changed the topic. "I heard that the Lake of Fire began to frequently appear a month ago and broke out once. According to the background of the mission, the Demon Killing's consciousness has broken free from the seal."

"That's how..." Qi Leren's heart burst out, but did not say it, but followed Ning Zhou's words. "When it comes to this, the second ring of the mission requires us to 'eliminate the Demon King of Killing and gain one-third of the Demon King', but now there is no clue."

Ning Zhou said "um" and his expression was not very natural.

Ning Zhou is really a person who is not good at lying. Qi Leren can't tell that he has something to do. Contact the "Old subordinates of the Demon King Destruction appear near the Fire Lake" mentioned by the Demon Intelligence Businessman before, he inevitably has some associations.

These demons are probably looking for Ning Zhou who inherited the power of destruction.

Don’t expose it first, let him think about it again. Qi Leren doesn’t want to put more pressure on Ning Zhou, he just wants Ning Zhou to live a more relaxed life.

"Well... let's go back to the underground Ant City first. I left in a hurry. I didn't ask when the illusionist was going to go back to the dusk country. Let's go back with him. What do you think?" Qi Leren asked.

"Okay." Ning Zhou said.

"Okay, okay, go and have a walk." Yuying flew over from behind and stopped on Qi Leren's shoulder and pecked his ears.

Qi Leren had no choice but to touch it, and asked for food on his face. Ning Zhou glanced at it coldly, Yuying muttered, "It's so stingy", and flew away with his wings.

"Don't spoil it too much," said Ning Zhou.

Qi Leren lowered his head and smiled. Suddenly, he had a whim and quietly held Ning Zhou's left hand with his right hand. Ning Zhou was stunned for a moment, and held his hand back, shaking a little.

One of them looked at the fluorescent plants on the rock wall on the left, the other looked at the fluorescent nocturnal moth on the rock wall on the right, walking forward speechlessly, only the chaotic heartbeat and the sweetness flowing in their hearts secretly declared their tacit intentions.

Qi Leren's thoughts were as messy as fallen leaves swept by the wind. He thought for a while whether he should take the initiative, and for a while he felt that with Ning Zhou's growth environment, he might not be able to adapt to the very modern way of love. Finally, he was desperate to examine himself, why a great young man had not had a few more love experiences during his student days, and now he is like a high school student with a first love... his partner is still a junior high school student who is even more ignorant than him.

To be "not suitable for children", you have to get married first. So, do you have to get engaged before kissing? Go and buy engagement rings when you return to the dusk land... Alas, you are penniless. It seems that you have to do a task to earn some survival days. You can't use the sapphire ring that Ning Zhou left in front of his tombstone to make up the numbers, right?

Before seeing Ning Zhou, he always thought about Ning Zhou. After seeing Ning Zhou, his head not only did not rest, but instead he thought about it more and more...

The two of them held hands as if no one was around, left Purgatory and returned to the Underground Ant City. The two boarded the "train". This kind of powerful domesticated demons pulled on the tracks as the front of the car was called a rail car in the Underground Ant City. Qi Leren and Ning Zhou both put on their cloaks, sat side by side, and returned to the Underground Ant City.

However, an accident happened.

"What, the illusionist is missing?" Qi Leren asked in shock.
