Before leaving, Ye Ziteng had already greeted Luo Li, so as soon as he walked out of the station, he saw Luo Li standing not far away waving at him.

Lifting the backpack on his shoulder, Ye Ziteng raised his feet and walked towards Luo Li.

Before he walked in front of him, Luo Li was already a little anxious and asked, "Brother Ye, do you have any news of guests?" ”

Brother Ye, do you have any news of guests?

When Ye Ziteng heard this, his outward steps paused. He heard this sentence no less than twenty times, from the disappearance of Xia Ke at the beginning, to the later Xia Ke being condemned as a traitor, Luo Lidan would call him whenever he heard the slightest movement about Xia Ke, even if he was still on a mission.

"No," standing in front of Luo Li, Ye Ziteng looked up slightly at this man who was six or seven centimeters taller than himself, thought for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I think it will be soon." ”

"Is it related to this mission to the dead city?"

Luo Li naturally carried Ye Ziteng's backpack on his body, the incident of the dead city was not a secret among the Yuan Exorcists for a long time, especially there was an uncle Shangguan in the Qilu Branch, and the secrets of the headquarters were not any secrets to him.

Ye Ziteng was not surprised that Luo Li would know about this. He hummed and walked past Luo Li towards the parking lot.

Luo Li didn't ask any more, but the smile on his face showed that he was in a very good mood now. After half a year, there is finally news of Xia Ke.

The two didn't speak again along the way, Ye Ziteng didn't like to speak, and Luo Li didn't want to speak because of the news of Xia Ke.

Just like that, I quietly returned to the Qilu branch, and a car was parked at the door of the villa.

"Huh? It seems to be Brother Liang's car. ”

Luo Li looked up at the car listening in front of him while parking, and his tone was a little surprised.

"When did Zhou Sheng arrive?"

Ye Zi vacated the car door and got out of the car, standing on the side of the car waiting for Luo Li, who was bending down to take his bag from the back seat. As soon as Luo Li straightened up, he heard Ye Ziteng's question, and immediately replied: "I don't know about this, I didn't see it when I went out to pick you up, it should be the time I picked you up." ”

Listening to Luo Li's answer, Ye Ziteng walked towards the villa without any expression, and when he passed by the car, his footsteps paused slightly and quickly stepped over.

Liang Zhousheng in the living room was looking at his phone with a cup of green tea, and as soon as Ye Ziteng came in, he looked up at him.

"Ziteng, you're here, is the road going well?" After saying this, he saw Luo Li following behind Ye Ziteng again, and smiled, "Long time no see, Luo Li." ”

Luo Li was carrying Ye Ziteng's backpack with one hand, scratched the back of his head embarrassedly with the other, and replied with a smirk: "Brother Liang, when did you arrive?" ”

"Not long after arriving," Liang Zhousheng shook the glass teacup in his hand at him, and the tea leaves in it rose and fell with his movements, "No, the tea leaves haven't been brewed yet." ”

The tea leaves in the glass have not yet unfolded, and the water in the glass has taken on a pale green color. The curled tea leaves swing upwards in the water and then swirl and fall with the current.

Shaking the tea leaves in the cup, Liang Zhousheng's eyes intersected with Ye Ziteng, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Liang Zhousheng suddenly laughed, "Go quickly, Mr. Shangguan is waiting for you." ”

Ye Ziteng nodded, and did not stop any longer, and walked to the elevator leading to the basement alone.

It wasn't until the elevator door slowly closed and Ye Ziteng completely disappeared from his field of vision that Liang Zhousheng retracted his gaze and looked at the tea leaves in his hand.

The tea leaves that were originally condensed together already had a tendency to stretch, Liang Zhousheng continued to shake the glass unhurriedly, but Luo Li on the side sat down on the sofa next to him.

Luo Li was still holding Ye Ziteng's backpack in his arms, he glanced at Liang Zhousheng a little nervously, seeing that he had been shaking the tea leaves very seriously, and then he dared to ask: "Brother Liang, you also received the task of the dead city this time?" ”

This sentence was just his guess, after all, he appeared in the branch at this critical juncture.

"Well," Liang Zhousheng stopped what he was doing, moved his body, sat on the sofa, and looked at Luo Li with his body, "Are you happy today?" ”

"Huh?" Luo Li looked confused, and then reacted and smirked twice, "Hehe, it's so obvious......"

Liang Zhousheng nodded and pointed to the corner of his mouth with his finger, "You are going to grin to the root of your ears here." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Luo Li touched the corners of his mouth with his hand and touched the root of his ear, seemingly agreeing with Liang Zhousheng's statement.

Looking at Luo Li's stupid appearance, Liang Zhousheng asked with interest, "What are you so happy about?" Got a girlfriend? ”

"Hey, no, what kind of girlfriend," Luo Li hurriedly denied, "It's a guest, I have news of her." ”

“…… You mean, the news of the Xiake? ”

"Yes, Brother Ye said, this incident in the dead city may be related to-"

"Xiao Luo!"

Before Luo Li could speak, Uncle Shangguan, who had just come out of the elevator, had already interrupted him by speaking first.

Walking out of the elevator, Uncle Shangguan was followed by Ye Ziteng, I don't know what the two said in the basement, but obviously, Uncle Shangguan's face was not very good, and Ye Ziteng was still expressionless.

Interrupting Luo Li's words, Uncle Shangguan sat on the single sofa and spoke: "I'm not very sure about the matter of the dead city, since the two of you want to know, then I'll say it together, and I'll say it twice." ”

Uncle Shangguan leaned back, his legs straightened, and the whole person nested into the sofa. Ye Ziteng sat down on the sofa next to him, and Liang Zhousheng also turned sideways, looking at Uncle Shangguan with a serious expression.

"Xiao Luo, you go down first."

Luo Li hesitated a little, and after his eyes swept over the faces of several people present, he still stood up and walked into the elevator.

He understands the rules of the Yuanmen very well, and if he is not a participant in the mission, he cannot know anything about the mission. So even if Uncle Shangguan and their light words will involve Xia Ke, he still can't stay there.

"Well, I think you know more or less about the Dead City. What I'm going to talk about is the part that Xiao Luo didn't finish talking about just now. ”

"Xia Ke, this girl, disappeared for half a year." Uncle Shangguan looked at Ye Ziteng, "I know, you have been looking for her for the past six months, not only you, including me, Zhou Sheng, Xiao Luo, and even a few branches, are also looking for her." But none of us had any clues, so we looked for a needle in a haystack blindly for half a year. ”

Uncle Shangguan slowly sat up straight, "The incident in the dead city is indeed very similar to the Devil's City, whether Xia Ke's girl will be there or not, I can't be sure." If she is really there, then I, Shangguan Ze, I beg you to bring her back. ”

"I can't find a reason why those branches are looking for her, but I can be sure that the attitude of the headquarters towards her now is definitely not friendly. I am a person from the Shangguan family, and I understand too well how tempting such an outlier is for the people of the Shangguan family. You must know that when Xia Ke appeared at the beginning, they had thoughts that they shouldn't have. ”

Speaking of his former family, Uncle Shangguan's eyes were still full of disdain, he knew too well what kind of crazy people were living in that family.

They are obsessed with the study of Yuanli, but anyone who is a little strange about Yuanli may become a guinea pig in their laboratory.

Their obsession with Yuanli is almost to the point of madness.

The headquarters forbade the Shangguan family to conduct Yuan Force experiments on human Yuan Exorcists, but the structure of animals is different from the human body, so the Shangguan family came up with a way, they will send family members to capture Yuan Demons and conduct experiments on Yuan Demons.

The headquarters has repeatedly banned this behavior, but it still has no effect.

A person like Xia Ke who is not a natural Yuan Exorcist, in the eyes of the Shangguan family, is undoubtedly a piece of fat dripping meat.

"Now that she is being targeted as a traitor by headquarters, as long as her whereabouts are revealed, it is likely to attract a large hunt from headquarters. If the two of you do find her, you must protect her and don't let her conflict with the people at headquarters. Otherwise, her guilt would easily be convicted. ”

After saying this, Uncle Shangguan collapsed back into the sofa.

The chance of Xia Ke appearing in the dead city is not large, and there are always some places in this world that are unknown. He didn't have a clue where Xia Ke would hide.

At this time, the appearance of the dead city was too much of a coincidence.

It was also half a year ago that the Earth Yuan Force began to fluctuate, and it was the same weird Yuan Force, the same mysterious ......

The faces of the three men present were extremely heavy.

Ye Ziteng and Liang Zhousheng understood what Uncle Shangguan said too well, Xia Ke's existence was a special case for the entire Yuanmen, so they didn't dare to guarantee now whether they would be able to protect her after finding her.

Until he got into Liang Zhousheng's car, Ye Ziteng didn't figure out what he was going to do.

"We've been looking for her for half a year, and now she may show up, but I hope she doesn't."

The car started slowly, the villa slowly disappeared from view, the horizon was withered weeds, the street trees on the roadside had long since lost their leaves, and a few birds perched on the lonely branches.

"If you never find her, then she will always be safe. But once she is found, she is in danger. Ziteng, do you think we should go to her? ”

Yes, to find or not to find, at this moment, it has become a dilemma.
