After Ma Zili entered the door, everyone knew that he had already guessed why he had been summoned as soon as everyone looked at his expression.

Lord Zuo spoke on behalf of everyone: "Master Ma, we want to set a trap now......"

Ma Zili said loudly: "If my son has nothing to do with that Taidou, then won't I let the wicked person complete the evil law?" ”

"Don't worry, we will arrange for elite soldiers to squat," Lord Zuo seemed to be completely unaffected by Ma Zili's tone, calm and kind, "If Taidou doesn't make a move, we will save the little marquis." After all, we won't joke with the lives of the emperor and the crown prince. ”

Saying that, Lord Zuo glanced at Gonggong Song, as if he was dissatisfied with the attitude he had just shown that "it doesn't matter if the great magic is completed".

Song Gonggong pretended not to find out.

"However, if there are elite soldiers and strong generals, won't the enemy notice it?" Ma Zili questioned again.

"Then try not to let the enemy notice. It's just a trap, if the enemy doesn't come, forget it, and when he comes, we'll catch them all. Master Zuo smiled as he spoke.

Ma Zili blushed and pursed his lips.

"Think about it." Mr. Zuo said and made a gesture to sit down.

Ma Zili pulled over the chair that Ma Sha had sat on just now, and sat down slowly, his face became more blue with the action of sitting down, and his eyes stared directly at Lord Zuo, with an expression of absolute refusal to back down.

Gonggong Song suddenly said: "Your son is no longer human, he is a Frankenstein." According to the imperial decree, the family did not report what they knew...... Hum. ”

Ma Zili glared at his father-in-law fiercely: "You have to talk about evidence!" ”

"It's easy, let him summon a Horcrux. All the evidence shows that the man behind the scenes, who doesn't know his true identity, has completed the spell and killed enough people, but the spell has not been activated, and the mastermind behind it is desperate to kill your son.

"It's easy to conclude that your son is dead – at least the people behind him think he's dead, but don't know what went wrong. However, there is a high probability that your son's soul will be seriously damaged, after all, the tribute of this spell, requires the soul to be destroyed.

"It's likely that he doesn't have a Horcrux anymore, after all, the soul has been greatly damaged, and the first thing to destroy is the Horcrux, otherwise the effect of the destruction will be too poor, and the Horcrux is the last line of defense for the soul.

"Let the little marquis come and summon the Horcruxes, if there are no Horcruxes, then it will be very interesting, because many people have witnessed him using spells."

Gonggong Song showed a cruel smile and stared at Ma Zili.

"You don't have a Horcrux, and you can use spells...... This must be Frankenstein. Just now, everyone took care of Hou Ye's face, and did not ask him to show the Horcrux, he has already opened the net, and what I say here will not leave a record, Hou Ye, you think twice. ”

Ma Zili stared at Gonggong Song deadly, but the big eunuch looked willing.

"If it is confirmed that the little Hou Ye is a Frankenstein, Hou Ye, your current actions are a person who can be cleared without reporting it, although the empire has been modernized, but the punishment of the Nine Clans has not been abolished."

Ma Zili clenched his hands into fists, trembling.

His eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs were about to fall out.

However, this is only his last catharsis.

Lord Zuo spoke: "In life, you need to make many choices, of course, you can choose to protect your son until death." It's your freedom. However, people have to take responsibility for their own choices. ”

Ma Zili let out a long sigh and said viciously to Gonggong Song: "Don't give me a chance!" Otherwise, you will die as a eunuch. ”

"No problem." Gonggong Song said with a smile, "According to Scholar Xie of the Hanlin Academy, this kind of hatred is the embodiment of the self-purification function of our officialdom. ”

Gonggong Song suddenly shrugged his shoulders: "But I've already cleaned my body, and I don't seem to need the self-cleaning function." ”

Someone on the field laughed, but immediately stopped.

Ma Zili looked at Lord Zuo: "I agree to let my son, Ma Sha, serve as a bait." ”

Lord Zuo clapped his hands: "Very good, Master Ma really knows the general situation." ”

Master Li next to him seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Master Li has been worried about his old friend since the beginning.

Chen Guangda spoke: "It's five o'clock in the morning, we need time to set up the surveillance system and make relevant preparations, I suggest that Ma Sha stay in the main hall for a day first, and then go back in the evening." ”

"Yes." Master Zuo nodded, "I'm going back to report the situation to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Supreme Mage Council, take a step first, and come back in the evening to see the situation." ”

Zuo-sama stood up.

"Break up."

**

Masha had spent the whole day in a nice lounge and had slept well - no, it was a temporary departure from the real world to go to the Enterprise to get a practical exercise on the amount of his magic.

In the evening, Ma Zili opened the door to the lounge.

"Son, let's go home." Ma Zili smiled at Ma Sha.

Marsha breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he has been worried that he has been exposed, and then he will be euthanized.

- Now it seems that it was successfully fooled.

Ma Zili led the way in front and walked a little fast.

However, in Marsha's impression, Dad has always walked fast and walked like a fly. When I was a child, I had short legs and had to run to keep up.

But this time, Dad also walked too fast.

Ma Sha quickened his pace, barely kept up with Ma Zili, and asked, "What about Du Meilan?" ”

"She's going home." Ma Zili said briefly.

"Going home? This ......"

Wait, Du Meilan seems to have said that she should go home occasionally, otherwise it will be a big problem.

"What about Rifle?" Marsha asked again.

After all, Du Meilan has no combat power, and Laifu is the thickest thigh. And Rifle also said that he would stay by Marsha's side all the time.

Marsha asked this, mainly to ensure his own safety.

Of course, it's true to worry about Du Meilan, after all, the girl was beaten and concussed in order to protect him Ma Sha.

"There are still some issues that have not been investigated, and he will stay here to continue to be investigated."

Ma Zili replied, still walking with the wind, the two of them had come to the take-off and landing platform of the main hall building, Ma Zili took out his mobile phone and summoned a flying carpet.

Marsha's attention was drawn to the overly flashy flying carpet — well, a style that Daddy would love.

As soon as Masha sat down on the flying carpet, he asked, "Daddy, shall I go home tonight?" ”

This is Marca after thinking about it for a day, and then he drew up Plan B, which was used to deal with the situation that Rifle was not around.

He remembered that Li Cheng said that Lord Li's mansion had a large number of protection techniques and enchantments, and there were also strong people from his own family stationed there, so presumably the same was true of his own Hou Ye's mansion.

Since Du Meilan and Laifu are not there, it is really safe to go home.

Masha has never felt the word "home" so reassuring as it is now.

At this time, Ma Zili spoke: "Family...... Your youngest brother has just been born and is crying all day long, very noisy. ”

Masha froze.

In fact, he felt that something was wrong just now, but he didn't think about it deeply, and now this lame reason has to make Ma Sha think deeply.

He also planned to save it, so he said, "I don't care, I can still coax my brother to play." ”

"He's so small, you're going to scare him." While Ma Zili spoke, he dodged Ma Sha's gaze, "As for safety, you don't have to worry, the mastermind behind the killing of you has been caught." ”

For a moment, Masha wanted to believe, really wanted to believe, the mastermind behind the scenes was caught, everything was happy, and then there was a comfortable time of peace.

- That's good.

"You're asking me to be the bait, right?" Marsha asked directly.

"No, how is that possible?" Ma Zili waved his hand again and again, "Don't think about it, the mastermind behind the scenes is finished, and now everyone is busy looking for that master, you are safe." At most, you will leave a few people to spy on you and prove that you are not colluding with Na Taidou - to tell you the truth, you really haven't seen that Taidou, have you? ”

Masha actually wanted to throw a sentence "I am the master" and "I did the forbidden demon".

But he suppressed the urge to give up on himself.

"I haven't seen anything like a great fighter." Marsha said, his voice rather flat.

When a person is betrayed by life and is extremely disappointed, he will be so bland.

Ma Sha's reason told him that Ma Zili must have been forced to do this.

But now he doesn't want to pay attention to these causes and consequences.

What does it matter.

- I'm a decoy, I'm in danger, and this reality doesn't change in any way.

Ma Zili: "It's here, let's go down." ”

Masha obediently got off the flying carpet and used Du Meilan to teach him the method.

He stood on the balcony of his apartment, large enough to be used as a flying carpet landing platform, and no one came to greet him.

Ma Zili also came out, he looked at Ma Sha's back, raised his hand, but in the end did not put it on Ma Sha's shoulder.

"Let's go home for dinner tomorrow." After throwing down such a sentence, Ma Zili returned to the flying carpet and ran away with a smoke.

Masha stood alone on the balcony.

The sun is only the last of its rays, and the night has taken over the world.

Feeling extremely depressed, Masha opened the glass door of the balcony like a walking corpse, returned to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.

He was alone in the empty living room.

Silence follows you.

- Nothing.

Just a day ago, in this same living room, Masha was happily learning magic, with Rifle by his side and his beautiful fiancée Du Meilan.

Although he knew that he was facing a crisis, to be honest, all he felt was the joy of being exposed to new things.

Magic is fun.

The ability to insert the implant is also very interesting.

What a demonless person, what a euthanasia crisis, Masha didn't have much real sense at that time.

Now, Du Meilan is not there, neither is Rifle, and it looks like they can't be there for the whole night.

Ma Sha once thought that he would definitely be able to rely on his father, but no, it was Ma Zili, and he ran away.

The Assassin may already be on his way.

An assassin who can kill Masha in one move.

This time, Masha will definitely not be able to fight back so easily, after all, not every assassin will have chivalry.

What's more, Masha doesn't even have a gun in his hand now.

Marsha's nervous shaking legs.

But he was not afraid.

He's not nervous either.

He just felt empty in his heart.

It took him a while before he realized that this feeling of emptiness was called loneliness.

This feeling is not unfamiliar.

Marsha was on Earth, in his second year of working after graduating from college, one morning he had a fever, he got up and took a piece of Contec to eat, and when he was about to continue to go to work despite his body temperature, he accidentally slipped and fell.

He fell to the ground and fell asleep for a day, and in the evening he got up and found that the fever had subsided.

He usually used this experience as bragging, but he knew that when he got up that evening and found nothing on his phone except for the official-like text messages from HR, the tide of loneliness almost overwhelmed him.

From that day on, Marsha knew that he would one day die alone in the house, either from overwork, or from playing games for too long.

Then he would be lonely and stinky until the neighbors couldn't take it anymore.

And compared to the loneliness he felt when he was on Earth, the loneliness that Masha feels now, at this moment, is countless times stronger.

Strange world.

Unaccompanied.

There is not even half a person who can be trusted and relied on.

There are also vicious enemies ready to be slain at any time.

- And I only have myself, and I am weak.

Fighting the whole world by yourself should be the loneliest thing in this world.

Marsha thought about this, overwhelmed by the tide of loneliness.

If I could cry, I think it would be better.

But the man has tears and does not flick, this is the creed that Masha has always remembered.

He just sat there, staring blankly at the coffee table in front of him.

He forgot to turn on the light in the living room and sat in the dark.

Suddenly, Marsha's eyes caught a clear blue light.

He turned his head to look and saw a white cat with a blue glow jumping on the coffee table and squatting in front of him.

On the cat's collar, the "Enterprise" is written in English.

The cat's existence was so real, but Masha knew very well that it did not exist in the form of matter.

Masha stared at the cat, the loneliness that had just overwhelmed him receded like a tide.

The cat squatted on the coffee table, staring at Marsha.

The soft light emanating from its body, although not strong, completely forced back the darkness in the living room.

"You want to say that at least you're on my side, right?" Masha asked softly.

The cat barked.

The tears that had not been shed just now rolled down at this moment.

Stranger in a foreign land, facing the quantum cat, crying silently.

He didn't realize that at this moment, he had the courage to stand up to the world alone.
