Chapter 33: A Mysterious Message
After returning to the company, Qi Lu was surprised to find that Ding Xiaolan had come back early and sat on the office chair waiting for them.
Qi Lu couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why don't you go home yet?" ”
Ding Xiaolan gave him a blank look and ignored him.
"Xiao Ding, who made you angry?" Lao Wu also noticed that Ding Xiaolan was a little unhappy.
Ding Xiaolan said: "Hu Qingyun killed someone, why don't you care?" ”
"Ah, he killed those guys in the mental hospital, but that's self-defense." Qi Lu said perfunctorily, it turned out that she was worried about this matter.
"Is there such self-defense, at most it is excessive defense." Ding Xiaolan replied angrily.
"Do you want me to destroy him on behalf of the moon?" Qi Lu joked.
"That's not it" Ding Xiaolan didn't know what to say, so she had to change her mouth and say: "I just think those nurses died pitifully." ”
"Okay, don't overthink it. You should go home early and rest, and practice spells diligently every day is the right way. Qi Lu was also very embarrassed, and the current situation was beyond his control.
Ding Xiaolan asked, "Then what are you busy with these days?" ”
"Hu Yuxuan is dead, the Semitic tribes are definitely not peaceful, I just need to monitor their movements in the past few days." Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Lao Wu will work hard during this time, teach Ding Meinu to learn spells in the morning, and follow the fox fairy Hu Lingyun from Qingqiu the rest of the time." ”
Lao Wu said: "I haven't found out where this girl lives, how can I track it?" ”
"I've found where she lives." Qi Lu snorted, and then said, "You didn't expect that she actually lived in a hidden cave in the mountains and forests near Ding Xiaolan. I'll take you to explore tomorrow, but you have to be careful, she's very vigilant and doesn't let her find out where you're going. ”
"Become an immortal or not change your monster habits." Lao Wu also laughed.
"What do I do?" Ding Xiaolan was a little unwilling to see that Qi Lu did not assign a task to her.
"Didn't I tell you, study hard, make progress every day, you just stay at home and practice spells!"
"How boring is that, why don't I accompany you to spy on the private club?" Ding Xiaolan begged Qi Lu again.
"Just let her go with you, so that you can take care of her." Lao Wu said: "Even if something happens to you, you will be covered by Qianyehua's jade pendant, and the fox demons will not dare to do anything to you." Lao Wu proposed.
"No way!" Qi Lu categorically refused, and saw that Ding Xiaolan was angry with a small mouth, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Forget it, you are still with Lao Wu, so that you will not delay the practice of spells, and you can also improve the relationship between master and apprentice." ”
"No, he smells of wine all over his body, and I smell uncomfortable" Before Ding Xiaolan finished speaking, he was stunned by the sudden vision in front of him.
Qi Lu and Lao Wu were also surprised, they saw that the display screen of the computer on the desk suddenly turned on automatically.
"Haunted!" Ding Xiaolan exclaimed.
"Don't talk nonsense, the house is full of runes, and if a ghost dares to come in, he will be beaten to ashes." That being said, Qi Lu was also surprised that this could happen.
"Don't read it, there is no possibility of supernatural phenomena in the office!" Seeing that Lao Wu had already recited the spell with a nervous expression, Qi Lu interrupted him impatiently, because he didn't feel any demonic energy and aura at all.
Ding Xiaolan asked again: "Could it be that our computer is poisoned?" ”
"Possibly." Qi Lu said as he walked towards the desk.
The computer display is brighter, and many irregular ripples on the liquid crystal appear against the blue background.
Qi Lu was about to restart the computer when a mechanical voice came out of the display.
"Qi Lu, don't rub it off, you should go with me."
Hearing these sudden words, Qi Lu was shocked, and couldn't help but glance at Lao Wu.
"With you, who are you?"
"I'm from far away, yours of your kind."
"Another Soul Destroyer?" Ding Xiaolan muttered quietly, but Lao Wu reminded her in a low voice not to be silent.
This situation is so weird that it makes people feel chilled all over the body!
Qi Lu has not seen the situation of life invading the computer, but I don't know where the power comes from, it is really a bit strange to be able to use the computer as a channel to convey information from such a distance.
The mechanical voice said again, "I could have taken you directly back to my hometown, but my current mana is not enough to break through the limitations of space, so I can only use this tool." ”
"I understand." Qi Lu's eyes were a little dim, and he then asked, "Then who are you?" ”
The display suddenly glowed brightly, then softened again, and a golden animal appeared on the computer screen.
Qi Lu saw the image of the divine beast clearly, it was shaped like a tiger with wings, and what was surprising was that it also had several colorful snakes wrapped around its neck.
In just a few seconds, the screen darkens to reveal snowflake-like speckled streaks, and then is again occupied by irregular ripples.
"Lu Wu, he is Lu Wu!" Ding Xiaolan suddenly remembered the toys her father gave her.
"Don't talk nonsense." Lao Wu interrupted her again.
"It's not Lu Wu, who is it?" Ding Xiaolan pulled Qi Lu's shoulder and asked, "Tell me, who is it?" ”
Qi Lu didn't answer, and Lao Wu saw that Ding Xiaolan's emotions were a little out of control, so he quickly pulled her aside and whispered: "If there is something to talk about later, the information transmitted by this guy may be very important." ”
Two dry laughs rang out on the screen: "Know who I am." ”
Qi Lu glanced at Ding Xiaolan, turned his head to the display screen and asked hesitantly, "You're not dead?" ”
"I have a special mission and cannot die." The mechanical voice paused, and then said, "Are you ready, use your sealed memories and me to return home?" ”
"What is the reason for my return?"
"Destroy what you're guarding."
"No way!" Qi Lu immediately vetoed it, and then asked him rhetorically: "Don't you know that with our strength, we can't destroy it at all?" ”
"That's why I let you go back to the Holy Land, where there is the power to destroy it."
In an instant, Qi Lu's thoughts were extremely complicated and messy, which was the last thing he wanted to do. If he loses it, he will never be able to reunite with that person, and his hope in this life will be dashed.
"I know your concerns, but if you don't destroy it, I'm afraid that a new catastrophe will happen again. I already sensed that someone was beating its mind, and it was this worry that woke me up from my long sleep. ”
"I don't agree with you, there is always a solution to things, not to go to extremes." Qi Lu still didn't agree.
All of a sudden, the voice on the screen became so loud that it buzzed to the ear, and the tone was still mechanical and monotonous, but the volume suddenly increased, which meant that the person speaking was angry.
"Don't forget that several catastrophes have been related to it, can you bear the consequences of this?" The loud voice sounded like a roar.
"I still can't say yes." Qi Lu's attitude also became extremely resolute.
"If you do that, your soul will never be freed from its bondage. There will be no power to get you out of it! "The sound is back to normal.
"I never cared about that." Qi Lu was dismissive.
"Give you a week to think about it, and I'll be back." The computer has a black screen.
"Don't come, lest we look at each other and get annoyed." Qi Lu replied angrily.
As soon as his words fell, the display screen lit up again, and the mechanical voice sounded again: "Don't say bad things behind your back, in fact, I have been watching your every move by your side." ”
Qi Lu's face was suddenly embarrassed, and he didn't dare to say anything until the computer was turned off again.
Ding Xiaolan giggled, and was shocked after laughing.
"What do you mean by Havoc?"
Qi Lu didn't make a sound, but Lao Wu said lightly: "What do you mean, alarmist." It's just an analysis based on a lot of data, and it's like trading stocks. ”
"You didn't lie to me?" After receiving Lao Wu's affirmative reply, Ding Xiaolan still asked uneasily: "Then who is this person talking in the computer?" I don't think he's a small character who just comes to scare us and leave. ”
"His name"
"He's just a small character, although it's a god from the Kunlun Holy Mountain." Qi Lu rushed to speak in front of Lao Wu, and at the same time carefully gestured with Lao Wu behind his back with his fingers.
"Kunlun Divine Spirit? Then it's Lu Wu, why do you say it's not? "Ding Xiaolan saw the image of Lu Wu from the laptop, he is a human-faced tiger body, isn't it consistent with the image of the divine beast displayed on the computer just now?
"He's not Lu Wu, I can definitely assure you of that!" Qi Lu was a little unhappy, but then he regained his grinning expression and said, "It's just a miscellaneous guy, and he really uses chicken feathers as an arrow!" Let's leave him alone, do whatever we want. ”
Lao Wu said a little worriedly: "You didn't leave any room to speak just now, so you weren't afraid of causing trouble?" ”
"Yes, you reminded me of this, it looks like I'm looking for a lobbyist." Qi Lu slapped his hands and said, "Get up and work!" ”
Ding Xiaolan asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Qi Lu took out the fox-shaped jade pendant and said, "I want to summon Qian Yehua, on the one hand, let him persuade those stubborn old guys for me, and on the other hand, ask him to repair those disobedient fox demons of the Semitic tribe." ”
"Well, that's a good idea." Lao Wu hurriedly went to Zhang Luo.
Ding Xiaolan stomped her feet in anger, she still had a lot to say to Qi Lu, but he easily changed the topic. However, she immediately remembered that all the fox demons in the private club were charming and delicate, and their king must also be a beautiful man, so she didn't want to miss the good opportunity to see the handsome guys, so she followed Lao Wu to help.
After a while, the desk and magic utensils were prepared, and the candle lights were also arranged according to the direction, Qi Lu took out the peachwood sword and started the magic of summoning gods in front of the desk.
After the ritual was completed, Qi Lu put away his sword and stood aside waiting for the arrival of the legendary King of Ten Thousand Foxes.
It's just a blink of an eye, there is a fragrant breeze in the room, the smell is fragrant, and the jade pendant enshrined on the desk also emits colorful brilliance, Qi Lu couldn't help but smile in the wind: "You're finally here." ”
But things didn't go as smoothly as expected, the fragrant wind suddenly disappeared strangely, and the brilliance of the fox-shaped jade pendant was extinguished like a glowing fire, and there was no movement in the house, let alone the king of ten thousand foxes, and I didn't even see a ghost.
"Didn't come?" Qi Lu and Lao Wu couldn't help but stare at each other with wide eyes.
"You've failed again, huh?" Ding Xiaolan was so disappointed.
"What do you call and fail!" Qi Lu Tie's face was blue, and he pinched the sword trick and pointed the peach wood sword at the jade pendant a few times, but he still didn't react at all.
"Don't point it, he won't come if you call him again." Lao Wu frowned and said, "I said, why have you been summoning you lately?" Is it because of the neglect of practice that the spell does not work? ”
"How is it possible, it is Qianyehua who doesn't pay attention to righteousness, and ignores people if he asks him for help."
"Come on, I've been busy for a long time and haven't accomplished anything, I'm hungry, so let's find a restaurant to eat." Old Wu grunted and began to clean up the magic utensils on the desk.
"It looks like you're on your own." Qi Lu secretly sighed and put the jade pendant into his arms, not to mention how depressed he was.
