Chapter 162: Tears
I had never heard of a golden lion in nature, and before the man in black could react, seven or eight lionesses appeared behind the male lion, surrounding the three of them in the middle.
"Who are you, and why did you come to my kingdom?" The lion asked majestically.
The three of them, whose faces were as earthy as they were, couldn't help but be taken aback, and almost sat on the ground, which turned out to be a lion who could speak human words.
"Why didn't you answer Your Majesty's question?" A lioness next to her roared.
"What's wrong with them?" Zhao Youcheng asked in confusion as he looked at the three people whose eyes were dull, but there was incomparably frightened on their faces.
"It's nothing, I sent them to dance with the hyenas in the Lion King animation." The tailed beast said with a smug face.
"Huh?" Xu Xiaohui and Zhao Youcheng were surprised in unison, "Is this okay?" ”
When Zhao Youcheng brought back the three people with dull eyes, Chen Pi had already brought Xu Nannan back safely, with the guidance of the snake belt that was connected with Chen Pi's heart, Chen Pi didn't take the slightest wrongful road at all, and successfully intercepted the black-clothed people and his gang in front of the wall, and relieved their mobility by dividing them by two, in fact, even if Chen Pi didn't go, Xu Nannan alone could be unharmed, this is just a game.
Xiao Jing had already sent away the police who came in a hurry at this time, and with the Xu family's power in Sichuan and Chongqing, this little thing could be described as a gesture.
"Brother Chen Pi, have fun, we will have a chance to play in the future, okay?" Xu Xiaohui was excited, like a bird out of the cage, ran to Chen Pi and said to him, and Youlu, who was originally lying on her shoulder, jumped on Chen Pi's shoulder.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Xu Nannan hurriedly pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, this girl, is she really using this as a game.
"Senior, how did you get there?" Zhao Youcheng glanced at Xu Xiaohui, who was still painting and telling Xu Nannan about his experience.
"Caught a big fish." Chen Pi snorted to the side and said, "This time, this side is the main force, Xiaohui is just doing it easily." Only then did Zhao Youcheng notice that among the black-clothed people, there was also a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, sitting there dejectedly.
"Who is he?" Zhao Youcheng asked.
"The Awakened of the Inquisition Order."
……
Qian Shushu's luck has been very bad recently, not only under the joint attack of Chen Pi and the Snow Demon, he lost the base under the mountain, but even the demon they had captured with great effort was taken away by the Snow Demon, and Ye Huniang, who wanted to use it to please the superior, was nowhere to be found, and the death of a large number of researchers in the base, and the destruction of various research materials was the most intolerable thing for Qian Shushu.
If there is no money left, he can earn it again, and even take out loans, but these researchers who have mastered the technology will not be able to train a replacement person for a while, and if it were not for the fact that he has always kept a backup of various research materials elsewhere, this alone is enough to make Qian Shushu's efforts for many years come to naught.
The trial organization was also hit hard in this blow, and the six awakened people who were sent to assist Qian Fugui seemed to have evaporated from the world and never disappeared again, Qian Shushu could see that Qian Fugui had received great pressure from the top of the trial organization because of this, and in just a few days, the whole person seemed to be three years old.
As the main person in charge of the affairs of the trial organization in the world, Qian Fugui's power is naturally considerable, and his position is naturally eyed by many people, if it is not for the loss of six awakened people at once this time, it is nothing, after all, for any organization, six formal awakened people are a considerable force.
Fortunately, when Qian Fugui escaped from the mountain, he brought out the surveillance video and saw the high-level of the trial organization that existed in the brigade, which quelled the impeachment of Qian Fugui.
After all, they all understood that the loss of the six awakened people could not be blamed entirely on Qian Fugui's head, and the demon clan that could freely manipulate the demon fire was by no means a terrifying existence that Qian Fugui could contend with, but even so, Qian Fugui was still under great mental pressure.
"Uncle, the impact of the turmoil caused by this incident in the organization is very unfavorable to you, right?" Qian Shushu sat on the wide and soft sofa, holding red wine in one hand, and asked with a frown.
Qian Fugui, who had a haggard face, sighed tiredly and said: "The people who secretly peep at my position are not a small number, they are now using all their tricks to pull me down, but there are still a few elders in the upper echelons who support me, and it will never be so easy for them to succeed." ”
"Half a month from now is the day of tribute, but we only have a meagre $300 million in cash, and if we remove the cost of rebuilding the research base, it is really not enough to pay these tributes." Qian Shushu frowned and said, "You are also very clear about these situations, have you talked to those elders?" ”
As the price of the Awakened Sent by the Trial Organization to Qian Shushu, that is, Qian Shushu has to pay more than 200 million US dollars in tribute to the Trial Organization every year, although this amount of money is huge, but if it is on weekdays, it will not make Qian Shushu feel embarrassed, without the Awakened Persons of the Trial Organization, his plan to make money will come to naught, and he still knows very well which is more important.
But this time, after Chen Pi and the others made a big fuss about the research base, they also swept away all the money in the base, especially the hundreds of crystals refined from the demon that had been accumulated over the years, none of which were left behind, which made Qian Shushu really heartbroken, otherwise, just those hundreds of crystals would have been worth more than billions of dollars on the black market.
However, now that the monetary situation is tight, after paying the tribute, the research funds and liquidity in his hands will be insufficient, and even if he borrows from the bank, it will take a buffer time.
"Alas......" Qian Fugui sighed, Qian Shushu's heart immediately had a shadow, it seems that the development of this matter is not optimistic.
"I didn't dare to mention this to all the elders, but I only mentioned it privately to the elders who supported me." Qian Fugui said solemnly, "The advice they gave me is that we must not put it forward, but pay the tribute as soon as possible, otherwise, all the serious consequences will be borne by us." ”
"What! Can't you even postpone it for a while? Qian Shushu's hand serving the wine couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said with dissatisfaction, "We have joined the organization for a long time, which time did I not pay the tribute in time, this time there is a reason for the incident, just delay it for some time?" ”
"Shushu, I understand what you say." Qian Fugui lamented, "But I'm afraid this is the Lord's will, even if the elders have the heart to help, we don't dare to disobey." ”
"What does the Lord mean?" Qian Shushu's face immediately turned pale, the wine glass in his hand shook, and a few drops of red wine spilled out, if this was the order of the supreme lord in the judgment organization, then they would no longer have room for bargaining.
"Well, since that's the case, then I can only grit my teeth and hand it over." Qian Shushu said in a low voice, "It seems that that little snow demon can only make enough money if he sells it." ”
"By the way, what's going on with that little snow demon?" Hearing this, Qian Fugui's spirits perked up, and he asked repeatedly, "Has there been any tear crystals produced recently?" ”
Tear Crystals are condensed from the tears of the Snow Demon's royal family, and although they are not as valuable as crystals on the black market, they are also quite rare, and their prices are much higher than ordinary diamond gemstones.
Qian Shushu frowned and said, "It's not good, this little girl seems to have seen through our methods, and she rarely cries recently." ”
In order to get more tear stones, they deliberately slaughtered some cute little animals in front of the little snow demon, causing the little snow demon to cry non-stop, and they naturally gained a lot.
"However, the amount of tear crystals obtained these days is also quite considerable, if it is not for the one-time sale, it will greatly reduce its price, otherwise, as long as we get rid of it all, we can get enough cash of 100 million US dollars." Qian Shushu said with annoyance, "But now, we have to sell this girl who can lay golden eggs, and I believe that those buyers in the Middle East will pay a good price." ”
"If it weren't for the last time when those two inexplicable guys came out to stir up the situation, we would have even caught the current patriarch of the Snow Demon, and in that case, we wouldn't have a headache for this mere $200 million now." Qian Fugui couldn't help but curse loudly, "Damn the demon clan! ”
"Forget it, forget it, what's the use of us scolding for a long time?" Qian Shushu raised his neck and drank the red wine in his hand and said, "Those two damn demon clans are neither painful nor itchy, but we have spent a lot of spittle." ”
"Isn't that little girl crying now?" Qian Fugui, who was slightly drunk, sneered, "Since we have decided to sell her, why don't we try it in another way, it's always good to have more tear crystals." ”
"Do you have any good ideas?" Qian Shushu asked curiously, although the Awakened imprisoned the ability of the snow demons, so that they could not use their talent for manipulating ice and snow, but this does not mean that ordinary people can bully them unscrupulously, Qian Shushu once experimented, only within a foot of their bodies, a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow invaded in an instant, making him feel as if he was standing naked in the ice and snow.
There are a few cowardly guys, who have to kiss Fang Ze and experience the customs of an alien woman, but unfortunately as soon as their hands touch the body of the snow demon, they are frozen and lose consciousness, and the whole hand and forearm are wrapped in a layer of frost, and the slightest collision will shatter into ice slag of different sizes, this terrible scene has made everyone lose interest since then.
Even if they are replaced with sticks or whips or something, they will be brittled into ice after making contact with the snow demon's body, and only those awakened people will be able to get in close contact with the snow demon without danger, but it can't be too long.
After several times like this, Qian Shushu and the others completely gave up the method of forcing the little snow demon to cry with violence, and instead put a lot of cute little animals in the little snow demon's room, so as to slaughter the small animals to cause the little snow demon to cry non-stop.
"Of course there is a way, although this method is not very easy to use, but it is not a problem to deal with a minor stinky snow demon." Qian Fugui sneered, "As long as we don't let future buyers see the flaws, no." ”
"In order to deal with these demons, the Lord once passed on a magic weapon to me, not to mention a mere underage snow demon, even if a man-eating troll is hit, he will cry bitterly and beg endlessly." Qian Fugui's original upright appearance revealed a bit hideous, and a terrifying chill emanated from his body, even Qian Shushu, who was very familiar with him, couldn't help but shudder.
Qian Fugui drank all the red wine in his hand, and threw the wine glass against the wall vigorously, making a crisp breaking sound: "Let's go, Shushu, Uncle will let you open your eyes and see the power of the Lord's magic weapon." ”
Qian Shushu looked at Qian Fugui, who looked a little crazy, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart, you must know that in the years they have joined, Qian Fugui has always been gentle and elegant in front of Qian Shushu, and he has always been a commanding appearance, when have you seen him like crazy.
"Well, I'm just trying to open my eyes to that." Qian Shushu smiled quietly, and the two stood up and came to the fireplace in the room, which was a European-style building, and there was a big fireplace in the room, although it should be rarely used to look at the smooth appearance.
Above the fireplace, carved two flying fire dragons, Qian Shushu pulled the faucet, a door quietly opened on the inner wall of the fireplace, the two walked in, and the door closed silently again.
The room where the snow demon is imprisoned is quite large, nearly 100 square meters, and a total of three little snow demons are imprisoned here. In the room, there are dozens of cute rabbits, cats and dogs, and to the surprise of the guards who are hiding on the sidelines, these small animals can enter the snow demon with impunity, and even jump on them, but they are unharmed. In the corners of the room, scattered were several small corpses with blurred flesh and broken limbs, which looked like some kind of small animal.
The three little snow demons were sitting on the big sofa in the room with sad faces, and their weak and helpless appearances made even hard-hearted people have compassion, but unfortunately Qian Fugui was not among them.
"Miss Xue Ying, the patriarch will definitely come to save us, and he will definitely wipe out these cruel humans." A slightly older snow demon said to the youngest of the three girls, and the most charming and lovely, "Until this day comes, we must hold on." ”
"Yes, Miss Yuki, the patriarch is your own sister, and she must be anxiously looking for us now." Another little snow demon also said.
Dressed in pure white robes, Xue Sakura, who looked like only eight or nine-year-old human girls, curled up in the corner of the sofa, her small transparent hands tightly wrapped around her chest, and there were faint tears in her eyes, but in the end, not a drop of them flowed.
The two little snow demons looked at Xue Ying anxiously, and couldn't stop explaining her, since two days ago, the cute Persian cat was torn into four pieces in front of her by the awakened people of the trial organization, Xue Ying stayed like this for two whole days, no matter how hard they tried to persuade her, there was no response.
