Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Scarlet City Devours the Light
With Miora leading the way, Heichen and Goode didn't have to walk many stairs, and soon reached the courtyard, where a tower rising from the ground led them to the top floor of the castle.
The atmosphere was diametrically opposed to the place they had walked through, and the hall was resplendent and bright, like a sacred temple.
On the golden gorgeous retro throne, there is a blonde girl sitting upright, and the red and black fancy and complicated costumes make her more noble and elegant, which should be the Queen Majesty in Miola's mouth. But it's hard to believe that you're so young.
"Long time no see, Ansel. The last time we saw each other was 10 years ago. What wind is blowing you here? The girl smiled and looked at Hei Chenji, with no intention of leaving her seat.
Miora brought the people and left with them to guard the perimeter. The aura of the two of them is too big, and he is only responsible for watching the play.
Heichen smiled back, "Ji'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're still the same." β
"Is it the same noble and elegant? But even if you say so, I won't let him go. β
"You can let it go or not, but ......" Hei Chenqi pointed at Ji'er, "Please give cherry back to me, it doesn't like people with a strong body odor." β
Ji'er was furious, stood up and said, "What do you mean, who has a strong body odor?!" This is the newest and most expensive perfume in Paris! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! β
"Looks like you're pretty self-aware." Heichen said, "Cherry, come here, go back." β
"Meow~"
Cherry poked his head out from behind Ji'er, and when he saw that it was Hei Chenqi, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he jumped forward, about to jump to the ground and run to his master.
Ji'er caught it with one hand, held it in her arms, and said, "What's the matter, don't you like me?" β
This sentence was full of threats, and Cherry was now in Cao Ying, not daring to disagree, shrinking his head and not speaking.
Ji'er said proudly to Hei Chenqi, "Look, don't you like me very much? β
"It's boring to talk to you."
Ji Er was angry, and then a bright smile bloomed again, "I know, you like to talk to Ives the most, but unfortunately, he's not here." β
Ji'er knew that since ten years ago, as long as she mentioned ives, Heichen would get out of control, and she just liked to see his always smiling face disintegrate.
It's a pity that she can't see it, Hei Chen's face doesn't change, "It's a pity, then I have to take you first." β
Ji Er narrowed her eyes and her expression condensed, "You want to destroy this place too?!" β
"Then it depends on whether you cooperate or not." Heichen's smile became more and more pleasant, and Goode didn't need to say anything beside him, and things seemed to be going quite smoothly.
Ji Er is arrogant, how can she stand Hei Chenji's repeated provocations? She wasn't like those old fellows who wouldn't give in easily because they were afraid, "How do I know if you're going to go back on your word, oh no, maybe you'll be there in a moment and you won't be able to follow your ideas and actions." Because you're a weak guy. β
"Heh, even you dare to say this." Hei Chenqi was used to Ji'er's arrogant tone, and there was nothing to worry about, "You should already know about me coming from the trial court, let's go, I'm tired today." β
"You!" Ji Er tried to suppress the anger in her heart and keep her calm on the surface, "Ugly words are ahead, I don't know why you sent me that man, he is still alive, but it is difficult to say about his subordinates." β
Heichen smiled, "I should have thought about how they were, I sent him here just to find your place, but now it seems that Ives is smarter than you and knows my tricks, so I threw the hot potato to you." β
"What a mess...... You called the name of the ives! Ji'er was surprised, but she didn't expect the news to be true. But when I think about it, it's been ten years, and he's been chasing ives for so many years, it's time.
"You'd better not underestimate me, after all, I'm the queen who rules this city, whether it's ives or you, I can see it clearly." Ji'er was still holding Cherry, not as irritable as she had just now, and now her indifferent posture was closer to her title.
"Her Majesty."
Miora was notified outside the door and walked in quickly, not shying away from the fact that there were two 'outsiders' here, and reported, "The ground battle is fierce, and it will soon be attacked." β
Ji'er bowed slightly, whispered a few words to him, and after Miora left, she turned around and asked, "What are you going to do with the people you brought?" β
"Don't you see it clearly?"
Ji'er thought for a moment, "It's the same." Let's go. β
Heichen took Goode to follow. Goode was a little confused, and the people he saw after meeting Heichen seemed to have strange thoughts, or they hid too deeply, and every sentence hid a deeper meaning. It's just that he can't see through and can't understand the fierce struggle between their words.
"Colonel Goode, what you are going to see in a moment is definitely a picture that shocks your outlook on life, please be sure to grasp the scale and make a decision that is related to the fate of more people. I won't say this sentence a second time, what about Ouyang Shu...... You decide for yer. Hei Chenqi said this with his back to Good, although his tone was light, but he could hear the heaviness of this sentence.
Ji'er looked at them with her spare eyes and didn't say anything.
Once again, they came to a large hall, this time in a circle that had sunken into the ground, and descended deep into the ground with three men and a cat. Once again, Goode experienced a very different landscape than when he entered, only more eerie, with a fiery red light everywhere, shining on the dark walls like the karmic fire of hell.
"Welcome to the Scarlet City." Ji'er took out a delicate red rose out of nowhere and handed it to Good. Goode didn't know why, but he caught it.
"Okay, first of all, I'll take you to the man." Ji'er turned her head in satisfaction, and led the two of them through a few hidden corners, weaving through the side-by-side doors. Goode felt like he was being led through an invisible labyrinth, and it seemed as if there were a pair of eyes staring at them behind them. However, he remembered the road very strongly, and still knew that the path they took was not repeated.
"You're really getting annoyed by building places like this." Hei Chenqi said with a smile.
"After you destroyed that base camp, of course you have to build it more secretively." Ji'er didn't look back, so she blocked Hei Chenji's words back.
Hei Chenji didn't answer, the smile on his face didn't fade at all, Ji'er had expected this to be the case, and took them around the last corner very boringly.
In front of him was a heavy metal gate, covered with dense thorns, and the green vines covered the cracks of the door almost invisible, and the cold reflection of the spikes on it made people shiver.
"That human over there, please don't make a noise for a while, it's going to be very troublesome." Ji'er gave Goode a warning look, then freed up a hand and bit her finger to let the blood drip onto the vines.
As soon as it touched her blood, the thorns seemed to bring life, and they all avoided it, and the door was opened from the inside......
A sea of bewitching red flowers filled their eyes, and the vines that spread on their own seemed to be bloody. If you look closely, there is still a blood-red liquid left on the spike, which is absorbed little by little, and you can vaguely see through the vines that it is transported up the blood-colored pipeline in the vines, and those pink buds bloom into a delicate red rose. I don't know if Goode was dazzled, the color of those blooming roses seemed to be constantly turning red, rich and bloodthirsty.
Goode opened his mouth and suppressed his doubts, he hadn't seen Ouyang Shu yet, and he couldn't speak yet.
Hei Chenqi's smile became cold, and the real red in front of him made it impossible to dodge.
Suddenly, without warning, the vine began to retreat at a rapid speed, as if avoiding the terror of the flood beast. The staggered vines ignored the obstacles, intertwined and pulled each other, and the fierce whip mercilessly shot down countless petals, and the splashed flower juice stained the surface red......
βanselοΌ Give me the power to control you! Ji'er screamed back Hei Chenqi.
β¦β¦
βanselοΌ Control your power and you'll kill them all! β
β¦β¦
Control...... Heh, he's in good control now, it's just that those things are too sensitive.
"These disgusting things are getting in my way, and it's not good right now." Hei Chen smiled, and the vines retreated into the invisible corner, finally stopping. However, the ground has been dyed blood red, and countless broken petals are mottled and mottled, which is simply unbearable to look at.
Ji'er's shoes stepped on the petals, even if it was such a messy stage, it couldn't weaken her arrogant momentum in the slightest.
"Bring that guy here."
I didn't see a figure, but I felt like something had left from there.
Strange place......
"Her Majesty."
didn't wait long, and a group of black-robed people suddenly appeared in front of them, pulling a chain and bowing their heads respectfully to Ji'er.
Ji'er asked Goode to pass, and the black-robed men automatically got out of the way, but they didn't let go of the chains in their hands.
βοΌβ
Goode looked at Ouyang Shu's body with heavy chains wrapped around him, staring at him in horror, but he didn't say a word, and he himself was speechless in surprise. I could only widen my eyes and cast an inquiring glance at Ji'er.
Ji'er was happy to answer his questions, and said with a smile, "Maybe you'll be interested in what you see next." β
Heichen smiled, "yes, why don't I think." β
Goode felt that the black-robed people around him seemed to be surrounded by boundless fear the moment they heard Hei Chenji's voice, and they trembled uncontrollably with fear, and they were afraid of Hei Chenqi out of their bones.
Heichen felt it from afar, and glanced at them disdainfully, "Your people are so timid. β
"Heh, there aren't many people here who aren't afraid of you." Ji'er glanced at him and led the way straight ahead. Cherry was held by her like a pins and needles, and she didn't dare to move, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, and when she heard Ji'er say this, she seemed to see hope. Its owner turned out to be so powerful! Hurry up, don't turn your head and ask Hei Chenqi for help.
It's a pity that no one pays attention to it now.
The presence of roses is necessary, and when the group walks through the long corridor and enters the huge hall, a sea of roses that is even more spectacular than just before floods everything in the hall, occupying the position of the protagonist and highlighting their status.
When Ouyang Shu saw all this, the horror on his face was even worse, and his body was so stiff that he couldn't move. Goode frowned and hugged him tightly, blocking his view of the sea of flowers.
"Curious what he saw?" Seeing the 'friendly' atmosphere of the two men supporting each other, Ji'er was looking forward to their next expressions. But I still have to worry about the time bomb behind me, and I always feel that Hei Chenqi's mood is not stable.
No matter what, with a flick of Ji'er's hand, countless vines retreated to the wall in an orderly manner, crawling all over the inner walls of the entire hall.
βοΌβ
Even Goode, who crawled over on the battlefield, was accustomed to seeing all kinds of corpses in a tragic state, and he was terrified by the scene in front of him!
