Chapter 58: Purgatory Reunion (10)

lady?

This familiar title reminded Qi Leren suddenly of a person - Mrs. Catherine. One of the powerful figures in the killing secret branch of the Dusk Country, Qi Leren used "red" to be undercover there, designed to enter the killing secret through her. She and her son Asi left a deep impression on him, especially after he learned that the two had escaped the pursuit of the trial.

The nightmare world is so big, Qi Leren didn't expect that they would meet her in this underground ant city.

It was not very good, Qi Leren thought that Mrs. Catherine must have a grudge against his "betrayal" and "use" back then. Now she is sending someone to invite him openly, but it is not because of the surprise of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

If she is not strong enough, she can pretend not to see him and invite him, which means she must have something to rely on.

Qi Leren was a little guilty and couldn't help but think about a strategic retreat...

The hand was gently snatched, and Qi Leren was stunned, and then suddenly realized that this time he was not alone.

He also has Ning Zhou!

If a person fights for too long, he will think about solving any problems himself, because in danger, he cannot pin his hopes on others, and he can only rely on himself.

This is a kind of maturity, but it is also a kind of helplessness. If a person can be a little prince or princess in a castle for the rest of his life, who would want to face the ups and downs of the outside world alone? After all, the wind is so fierce that it can break through people's skin, and the rain is so violent that it can penetrate the armor.

Qi Leren raised his head and looked at Ning Zhou. Ning Zhou's eyes hidden behind the mask also looked at him. It was a firm, unyielding look. He suddenly felt at ease. Maybe he would encounter difficulties and dangers, but as long as Ning Zhou was by his side, he would have endless courage.

Qi Leren, who was relieved, turned around and smiled at the manager who invited them: "What are you waiting for? Lead the way."

Walking through the hidden door of the underground casino and walking up the steps, the decoration on the second floor is no longer a corrupt and old gambling house, but a clean and tidy reception room. The white marble floor is light to see, but there is no one on the sofa where someone should be sitting.

The manager opened the curtains in the reception room. Behind the curtain was a translucent light curtain, which rippled like the water surface, making the figure behind the curtain blurred, but it could still vaguely see that it was a woman, the long-lost Lady Kathleen.

"A group of desperate gamblers who are so bad that they are all covered in stinky skins, aren't they?" the woman behind the light smiled, not hiding her contempt for these gamblers.

"It's perfect match for the fugitive who hides his head and leaves." Qi Leren also laughed.

This is really mean. When Qi Leren switched to the "red" state, his words were much more vicious than usual, and often it could be called a malicious provocation.

"...Long time no see, Mr. Hong, you are still so charming, and still so... eloquent and sensual."

"But you have become hiding your head and tail." Qi Leren smiled sarcastically, pulled Ning Zhou openly and sat down on the sofa, holding Ning Zhou's waist and looking at Mrs. Catherine behind the light curtain. Her fingers were still writing in the palm of Ning Zhou's hand behind her: The barrier was added with a question mark.

He wanted to know if Ning Zhou could break this barrier.

"The necessary caution can save people's lives at critical moments, such as when the trial office encircled and suppressed the secret meeting of the killing department." Mrs. Catherine's tone was faint, but when she savored it carefully, she was filled with malice that she wanted to kill people quickly.

Ning Zhou's reply was simpler than Qi Leren, and he only drew a hook in his palm.

The numb touch made Qi Leren's hands tremble, and his whole body was trembling, and he almost couldn't control his tone.

"So you hide yourself behind the 'absolutely safe' barrier, and then tell your poor men to prepare to fight the two of us in one go?" Qi Leren said her plan without hesitation.

Mrs. Catherine chuckled, took a sip of black tea, and then said slowly: "A safe barrier is important, such as the one in front of you, is enough to block all attacks below half of the field."

Mrs. Catherine was full of confidence in the safety of this barrier and was also full of confidence in taking down these two people. The destruction of the Secret Secret Association of Dusk Country was only a month or two ago, and at that time, she had witnessed the strength of "Red" and the exorcist who cooperated with him.

It is definitely less than half the domain level, otherwise the division of the Killing Secret Conference would have been wiped out long ago.

The displaced over the past few days has made Mrs. Catherine, who has lived a pampered life for many years, feel resentful. She originally lived a secret but comfortable life in the dusk land. Her descendants flattered her and offered her to support her, and placed the hope of living on the seeds of killing she gave them, but all this was destroyed by the person in front of her.

She had to flee with her only remaining son Asi and came to the strange underground ant city. If she hadn't happened to meet a lover from her early years in the Lower City, who happened to have a certain amount of power, her current situation would probably be worse.

But how can the days when Quyi cater to carefulness be compared to the life she was reckless? Her only remaining son Asi is still missing.

Mrs. Catherine couldn't help but frown. She could sense her son. She was sure he was still alive. But another terrifying and evil force isolated her control over the son. She could only vaguely feel that Asi was still in the underground Ant City, but she didn't know what was going on with him...

"I'm not interested in your barrier. If you want to kill me, you can do it now, instead of hiding your head and tail behind the turtle shell. Say, what do you want to know?" Qi Leren asked lazily.

"What about you, what do you want to know when you come here?" Mrs. Catherine asked back.

"I'm looking for someone." Qi Leren had no intention of hiding it.

"Look for a gambler? I don't believe it." Mrs. Catherine chuckled, "I guess you are here to find the missing informant at the trial, the guy who came here a few days ago to inquire about that gambler."

Sure enough! The informant who came to investigate the disappearance of the illusionist was in the hands of Mrs. Katharine.

"Oh, what about others?" Qi Leren asked.

"Don't worry, you'll see him soon." Mrs. Catherine said gently as she fiddled with the feather fan in her hand.

Qi Leren's heart sank, and the situation of the informant might be bad. But it is also possible that Mrs. Catherine was cheating him, an informant from the courtroom, and she could not kill anyone before sucking away the information from him.

"But I'm very curious that the illusionist actually came to the underground Ant City and had also come to this gambling house. What did he do here? Could it be that he would come to hunt me down?" asked Mrs. Catherine.

Qi Leren narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the informant who came to find a gambling ghost to verify the whereabouts of the illusionist had confessed to this matter. So Mrs. Catherine was alert and had made a barrier prop from somewhere to protect her safety. She also arranged personnel in the underground casino. As a result, the illusionist went to the palace of the Dragon Ant Queen and disappeared. Instead, he and Ning Zhou came to investigate and just ran into Mrs. Catherine's arrangement.

Tsk, it's really a scam.

"Just think he is shopping." Qi Leren said lightly.

Mrs. Catherine choked and laughed angrily: "What about you, what are you doing in the underground Ant City again?"

Of course, Qi Leren cannot speak truthfully, but it doesn’t make any sense to just give a reason...

Ning Zhou next to him suddenly moved, and this movement made Qi Leren's mind flash. He leaned over and hugged Ning Zhou's neck in confusion, and smiled brightly at Mrs. Catherine behind the light: "Come on your honeymoon!"

Mrs. Kathleen: “…”

Ning Zhou: "???"

Mrs. Catherine, who felt teased and humiliated, finally couldn't sit still. She stood up from the chair and sternly said: "Since you don't want to say anything, then go to hell to say it!"

With her angry voice, the door of the living room was kicked open brutally, and a group of thugs rushed in, mostly strong low-level demons. They surrounded the two on the sofa, but did not take action rashly.

"In fact, there are no such many people to deal with you two." Mrs. Catherine smiled proudly, clapped her hands, and the barrier between her and them changed shape, and expanded from a light curtain. In just a few seconds, it turned into a light shield, covering the two of them.

"The barrier can protect people, and of course it can trap people. This is a semi-domain level thing. Although I can't use cards from you outsiders, I can still use props. I have to say, there are really some interesting things..."

Before Mrs. Catherine could finish her arrogant words, Ning Zhou, who was ready to go, had already swung his sword with her sword-

The sword of Judgment, the low-key and introverted sword body swept past the light curtain, and then the legendary light curtain that was enough to withstand all attacks below half the realm was like an ordinary glass, instantly falling apart.

The fragments of the light curtain that were constantly collapsing and shattering fell one after another. Mrs. Catherine's shocked expression seemed to be frozen in this moment, and the horror and disbelief twisted into a clown-like expression on her face.

"Do it, do it!" She suddenly came back to her senses and screamed.

The lowly demons who were stunned around him then howled and rushed up, but before they could even take a few steps, they were frightened by a terrifying pressure and fell to the ground. The powerful sense of oppression was pressing on the heads of each demon like an iron tower, more majestic than terrifying and more terrifying than majestic.

A similar picture appeared in each demon's mind: an ancient dragon as huge as a mountain range crawled on the hills, staring at the demon at the foot of the mountain, which was not even as big as its scales...

This is no longer a simple gap between power, it is a completely crushing relationship between different creatures.

Mrs. Catherine knelt on the ground with a thud, and supported the ground with her hands in a mess. The oppression that went straight to her soul made her unable to even develop a sense of resistance. The cruel and bloody level gap between the demons determined that the powerful demon would kill a weak demon and did not need to take action at all.

As long as the pressure is released, it is enough to let a low-level demon collapse and die.

The sweat of fear slid down from his forehead. At this moment, Mrs. Catherine's heart was not only fear, but also despair.

This is full of power of destruction, so terrible... She experienced the cruel war more than 20 years ago. It was at that time that she betrayed her human identity and devoted herself to the camp of the demon. She went from a poor human girl in a border town to the demon's mistress and finally became a demon.

She even saw the Demon King of Destruction with her own eyes. He was handsome and silent in military uniform, walking past the cheering army of demons without looking sideways, as if everything he had was nothing but a trivial thing in the world. He did not deliberately release the pressure, but the power full of destruction in his body was unforgettable to her. Even though the Demon King of Destruction in his memory had already blurred, the power on him still made her dream.

In the more than 20 years after the Demon King of Destruction, she was never amazed by any power. Even though she joined the Secret Killing Secret Conference, she always maintained a calm and sarcastic sentiment towards the Crazy Believers in the Secret Conference. She despised the Crazy Believers, and from the bottom of her heart she didn't think there was anything great about these three new Demon Kings.

However, it was because the old demon king had no leader in the demon world, which made them become powerful, and they were not even considered real "devil kings".

After all, none of them started the "ritual".

Without this ceremony, whether it is power, fraud or killing, they are just fake demon kings with the name of a demon king. The only demon king that the demon world has truly recognized for over the past twenty years is the only one who can destroy the demon king.
