Chapter 25: Forced Cooperation

"Beauty under the Lights" has once again dominated the pages of social media on major web portals.

Although there were no photos, many of the audience members who went to Weilong Ocean Park to watch the performance that day swore that they saw the living lantern beauty, and the lantern beauty also danced. The style is incomparable.

Some people vaguely remember that the lamp beauty was very shy and had a handsome boyfriend who had always protected her, but no one could remember the specific appearance of the young man.

This is naturally the effect of Ye Ze's illusion.

Yuezhou, Chen Xiao looked at the news automatically pushed on the homepage of the mobile phone browser, and unconsciously flipped out the photos inside the Zร i mobile phone that he had saved before.

The beauty under the lamp is like jade, the eyes are clear, like snow in the mud, the moon in the dirt, a pure and pure color, splitting the entire dim world.

He silently touched those eyes and closed the screen.

The last light in the office vanished, and only the bright lights of the city shone in through the window, casting a shadow over his face.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

Ye Ze hid in the men's bathroom with Song Xuran in his arms, silently waiting for the hallucination effect to pass, and Song Xuran regained consciousness.

Song Xuran's mind spun quickly, and it instantly became clear what was going on: "That was the illusion you created just now?" โ€

Ye Ze nodded.

Song Xuran let out an "oh": "I knew you couldn't dance so well." Poor coordination. โ€

Sanbai slept softly in the pocket of Ye Ze's women's pink coat, Ye Ze felt a little distressed, and thought about handing it to Song Xuran with his clothes: "You hold Sanbai." โ€

Song Xuran took it silently with a tense face and held the little white chicken in his hand.

Ye Ze went back to find the big turtle.

The carapace of the turtle's abdomen was a little cracked, and it was obvious that it had encountered a stronger enemy than Ye Ze had encountered.

It retracted into its shell entirely, leaving only a nod outside, and said sullenly: "You go back to Gu Mingfeng and bring something to him." โ€

Ye Ze squatted down and looked at him seriously: "Big turtle, tell me what the hell is going on." Gu Mingfeng didn't tell me anything, you guys are like this, I can't help you anymore. โ€

At first, it was just to help Gu Mingfeng deal with some small demons such as ghosts and ghosts, because according to Sanbai, he could upgrade and exercise his own abilities, and he could also get rewards such as energy stones from Gu Mingfeng, and with energy stones, he could exchange them for practical cultivator materials and props. He was also a little concerned about what the sacredness and purpose of those who attacked the school and caused chaos in Yuezhou, what was the god and demon treasure that Gu Mingfeng mentioned, and wanted to take the opportunity to find out some news from Gu Mingfeng and the Cultivator Association before doing these small tasks.

But this trip to the west suddenly involved him in a seemingly "โ–กโ–ก" matter, which Gu Mingfeng obviously knew about, but they were all secretive and didn't reveal it at all.

Now that Sanbai has fallen into a coma, Ye Ze must of course know who they are dealing with and what they are doing.

The turtle was silent for a long time.

Then he began to tell Ye Ze a story in a slow and long tone.

There are similar legends in both Chinese and Western cultures, where a fisherman, a chaifu or someone else inadvertently releases a sealed devil, and the devil will grant him a wish.

The big turtle said that this is true, or that there is a real basis and prototype.

I don't know when many gods and demons have fallen into a deep sleep, and as long as you can find and awaken the sleeping gods and demons, you can get a chance to fulfill a wish, no matter how big its ambition is, how crazy its wish is - that is the power of gods and demons, beyond everyone's imagination.

About a decade ago, news came out about the sleeping place of a god and demon. Over the years, there have been forces trying to find this place, awakening the sleeping gods and demons to fulfill their wishes. As these forces and cultivators investigated more deeply, the information about the sleeping gods and demons in this place became clearer and clearer, and now it was almost certain that it was the sleeping place known as the "Demon of War and Calamity".

Ye Ze remembered what Gu Mingfeng had said. There is no difference between gods and demons, they are all existential beings that transcend the existing energy of the laws of the world, and those who are good are worshiped as gods, and those who are evil are denounced as demons.

The big turtle slowly stretched out its limbs, tail and head, raised its neck and looked at Ye Ze calmly: "If it is a neutral or benevolent god and demon, then it doesn't matter if it is awakened or not, and we will not bother to intervene against them." But like the demon of calamity, his appearance means chaos and disaster, and of course we have to find ways to prevent it from awakening. โ€

"These people are preparing to enter the Sleepy Lands to awaken the demons of Calamity. Yang energy is what we now know as the material needed to enter the Sleeping Place. We stopped this time, the world has such a population, and there are so many places with a dense flow of people, they always have a chance to succeed. โ€

"What happens to those who have been harvested with yang energy?" Ye asked.

"Frail, sickly, and short-lived." The big turtle drooped his eyelids, "It's impossible to prevent it, the best way is to find out these people, monsters, and the forces behind them." But I only have bad news here, there are evil dragons in the South China Sea, raising waves, devouring people and beasts, destroying ships, but they are also in the Jingbian of the country, and it has been a thousand years now, and it is very measured to do evil and good, so no one has taken care of it for so many years, and ordinary people can't control it. But now the evil dragon has been bought by a secret force, otherwise it will be difficult for them to let the sea spirits in the waters of Guรฒ, and I don't know about the other schemes for the time being, but I must let the people of the other divisions know the news. The South China Sea may be of no other use to them to awaken the Demon God, and it may even be a level to the Sleeping Land, which needs more manpower to support the guards. โ€

The big turtle said: "I have already reported the news to the world on the Internet, but this thing is not safe to send by express, and someone has to deliver it in person." This side can't free up manpower, and I'm afraid that our people have already been monitored, and I want to trouble you to hand it over to Gu Mingfeng personally. โ€

The big turtle opened his mouth and spit out a dusty stone to Ye Ze: "When he sees it, he understands what's going on." โ€

It blinked: "Although the Gu family has never sacrificed themselves to save others, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the Gu family has never deviated from major matters." That's why so many cultivators believe in them and are willing to take on tasks and do business with them. โ€

However, after a short intersection, the big turtle was willing to hand over this seemingly unusual stone to Ye Ze, obviously trusting him very much. Ye Ze thought for a while, Song Xuran was afraid that he would encounter more dangers if he followed him, so it was better to follow the tour group as an ordinary traveler for the time being, so let him continue to follow the group and take care of the sleeping Sanbai by the way, and go back to Yuezhou to find Gu Mingfeng by himself. He has moonlight wings, and if he flies, three days of all-out strength is enough to fight back and forth.

However, things are not as smooth as imagined.

He flew back to Yuezhou for more than half a day, but he didn't find Gu Mingfeng in Sanmu Bookstore, and the other guys in the store only said that they didn't know where the boss had gone, when he would be back, and that he would be tomorrow or a month or two if he was slow.

Ye Ze felt like an underground party connector at this time, and he didn't dare to entrust things to others. He waited for Gu Mingfeng for a day, so he took the bus home, preparing to make plans for the next day.

As a result, the door of the house was unlocked, and it was pushed open as soon as I pushed it.

Ye Zexin said no, it is impossible for Lao Song to come back so early, could it be that there is a thief in the house?

He carefully pushed the door in, and saw two rows of people in dark blue suits and sunglasses standing in the living room, quite like the modern underworld in TV dramas. At that moment, a man who seemed to be in charge took the lead and said, "Hello classmate Ye, we have some things that we hope to get your help with, and if it happens, we will provide you with a good reward." โ€

Ye Ze's intuition was not good, and his left hand was clenched into a fist behind his back, in which the brilliance flickered, and the arrow of light was ready to be launched.

He pursed his lips and shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary college student, and my grades are not good, I'm afraid I can't help you, so let's ask another master." โ€

The man smiled slightly and took off his sunglasses: "Whether you have the ability or not, it's up to you to decide." โ€

He made a gesture and led Ye Ze to the door of the bedroom, only to see that there were still four people guarding inside, and on the bed, Song Xuran, who was lying in a coma.

His complexion was abnormally weakly pale, his eyes were faintly blue, his long and slightly curled eyelashes hung down quietly on his face, the bridge of his nose was high, and his breathing was very shallow, as if he was sleeping peacefully.

Ye Ze's breath was stagnant, and he almost couldn't restrain the blood from flowing backwards, and he was about to rush towards Song Xuran, but he was stopped by two men in suits. His eyes suddenly became unkind, and he swept sharply towards the man who had spoken before.

The man smiled slightly, knowing that this was done. The young man's weakness was in their hands, and it was impossible not to agree.

He stretched out his hand to Ye Ze: "My surname is Ma, I hope the cooperation is pleasant." โ€
