Chapter 145: Not Entirely
Only those who wear masks can know the truth.
She glanced behind her, the elders, like old urchins, struggling to make a fuss for the last time they lost contact.
"I remember the last time he stood guard, and he took the tribute. Cheronia shook her head, and finally banged on the table to announce it honorably.
Isn't this nonsense?
This old turtle knew that he was too old to look at it, and he came to brush up on his sense of existence.
"When was the last time you stood guard?" Yue clenched the doorknob and deliberately lowered her voice.
"Four hundred years ago. The other six said in unison.
The old turtle proudly stroked his beard.
I probably guessed that the time of standing guard was also the big day for the promotion of elders, that is, the old tortoise Cheronia was promoted to elder about four hundred years ago.
She hadn't seen a half-beast standing guard near the gates, or she wouldn't have had enough time to get back and forth between the gates and the bottom of the sea.
Unless, the one who stands guard often runs home from work.
"You need to stand guard and bring him food?" she was a little annoyed.
"This used to be the responsibility of the elder who held the Soul Guide's mask. Later, when the mask was stolen, it became ours. If you're lucky, the owner of the whale fall will also catch the demons who slipped around Building 1 to Building 2 and hand them over to us. Chang Hou was excited when he talked about this, because he was the lucky one who used to be lucky enough to sit directly on the position of the chief elder.
Of course, the other elders also knew, but they could only be envious and jealous.
"So, have you ever been to Building 2? Can you go up?"
Belch...... On this issue...... They got carried away for a moment and said they had slipped out.
"Letters of recommendation can be saved, you can take me up directly. β
No?
There really wasn't any adjective in the elders' faces of rejection.
"That, that demon ......" they were staggered, their faces blue and white for a while, as if they were about to go to the guillotine, and finally said, "It's terrifying." β
"Yes, he's as big as a mountain. "The octopus stone dwelling stretched out and taut all eight claws.
Following the exaggerated depiction of the stone house, it is the fluctuation of Delilah, Brando, and Seni that are startled.
"There was once an elder who went up and never came down, and he must have been eaten. Hemi only showed his little pincers and half of his face, and the last sentence was still roaring in his shell.
"Maybe the elder went up and ate the demons. β
"Then why didn't he come down?" Hemi's voice echoed through the shell.
This one...... It doesn't seem to make sense.
Anyway, what about the momentum when they just snatched the masks? They were now certainly small animals, roaring twice and then running away.
And what's moreβ
"Well, can you help us go up and have a look?" Lila asked softly, instigated and coerced by the other elders.
Excessive!
These half-beasts have lived for hundreds of years, are they adults? What kind of adults are they to let a little girl break into the deep pool of the cave that even they feared!
"You can do it!"
"You're human. β
What happened to humans?
"Well, by the way, it's expensive to ask me to work as a human. She lifted her chin haughtily. When it comes to this realistic problem, pretending to be pitiful, flattering or anything is useless.
The contract just now hadn't been completed, and she was sleepy, so she hurriedly stopped in order to avoid doing something that was intolerable when her mind was not clear.
"You like all the things on the forty-eighth floor, don't you?"
Hehe, her goal!
Yue's index finger tapped on the doorknob, wasn't this old turtle confused, why did he suddenly come to his senses?
Quiet?
The loud bang that almost shook the castle down, and suddenly it fell silent?
Is it over?
Pacing up and down outside the forty-first floor gate.
There was no order, the residents of the lower level were forbidden to step into the upper layer, and he only ate the strongest demon clan at that time on the thirty-ninth floor ten years ago, and became a high-level guard, and he went up to the forty-ninth floor when he was officially honored.
The elders' rooms, except for themselves, are strictly forbidden to enter. What exactly is on each floor, in each room, only the elder himself knows.
Even most of the time, the elders personally go to the lower levels to give instructions. Although he is allowed to walk around at sunrise, the odds of being able to enter the upper floors are low.
What the hell did that human kid do? She couldn't have survived the wrath of the elders.
It's so disturbing that the stupid girl of the little beetle actually followed the human child.
What the hell is going on up there?
First there was the screams of a few elders, no, roars, and then there was a fierce fight, and the entire floor felt a shock, presumably a terrible battle. Is that human kid that powerful? Even the elders have to be serious.
Now it was silent, so quiet that it made his heart cold, and his heart was suspended in the air.
"Come on. The transparent jellyfish floated into his ear and gave a summoning order.
It is the instruction of the Elder Fish.
Yang pushed open the door and ran wildly.
Seeing the badly damaged corridor, he could only pray that the little beetle was the successor that the elders had once been optimistic about, and hoped that he would remember this friendship and not hurt it.
Little beetle, don't be fine.
Rushing to the forty-ninth floor, he slammed headlong into the door of the conference room that suddenly opened.
Seeing the human child appear at the door safe and sound, she opened the door.
Yang was really surprised, when Elder Yu gave the order, he thought that he was here to collect her body. But she was unscathed, but Brando was slightly injured, and the other elders had one or two abrasions on their bodies, which were scratched by Seny's scales?
Could it be that several elders are fighting on their own?
In addition to being slightly tired, the human child who rushed out of the door was replaced by a wave of anger.
And the beetle, who followed her closely behind unscathed, finally let go of his worried heart.
"I'll think about it. Her face was gloomy.
"Okay, take Miss Yue to the room to rest. Cheronia smiled in response and commanded.
Yang stiffly turned to lead the way, did he see the wrong way? The moment the door closed, he seemed to see a smile that was fleeting.
Hehe, it's fun in the bitterness.
How is she going to take away the whole layer of treasures? This time her body is very tired, but her brain is so excited that she can't sleep.
Tinny had taken away the only chance to leave, and had caused a lot of trouble for Building One, and the mask, which she had an obligation to remind her of when she choseβat the very least, it was stolen goods from the Land of Light.
Now I have to coerce and lure that old turtle and the nondescript ugly monsters!
What should she do with those demon relics to appease the damage she suffered in her heart?
If you really want to punish the initiator first, Ting Ni deserves to come back and obediently be the soul guide! This is simply the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone, and it must be impossible. The prince of the Thunder Kingdom is old in the No. 1 Building of the Land of Light? It feels funny to think about it, not to mention that His Majesty still values this Prince of the Thunder Country for ten thousand years, not only because this son is very competitive, but also because he is a half-human wife.
Well, all the after-shows, the premise of those problems waiting to be solved, is that she has to leave.
You can't leave without a mask, so what? is she going to take over as a soul guide instead of Tingni?
It's better to transport the forty-eight-layer collection back to the human realm in one go, and at the same time say goodbye to the demon realm.
However, it's a shame that they've all come here.
When she walked around in the gap outside the castle, she almost died of poisoning, and she risked her life, but she didn't want to give up easily, but now she ...... I want to walk away.
Is there no other way?
- Miss Yue?
Yue turned back inexplicably.
Beetles?
She stared at it until she sensed something was wrong and stood between the two of them.
"Don't look at it like that, the beetle won't help you. β
She turned her face away, the corners of her mouth curled, and she glanced at his brother and sister meaningfully, turned her back, and said insincerely: "It turns out that you really don't look alike at all." β
"What are you talking about?" she said to the horse, as if it had anything to do with her, "The little beetle will eat the demons, become the manager of Building No. 1, and one day become the elder here." Don't hit it with bad ideas. β
- Brother!
It never thought like that, and it didn't mean that way.
"It's not, and you can't change it. β
The beetle looked at Yue gratefully.
"What do you mean by not being in itself?"
- Brother, don't do this. It's a matter of survival for Building One. If Miss Yue really needs my help, of course we are duty-bound.
It's a matter of survival? frowned, what the elders were in the conference room, and the little beetle heard it? Is it such a serious thing?
The Seven Elders sat in the conference room together, this was the first time, and their faces were solemn.
"Can we trust her?" asked Ishii and Seny.
"She's not like those demons. Lila laughed, "There was no despair in her eyes......
Cheronia nodded.
"If you insist on explaining what kind of expression it is, it's boring. They have no objection to Changhou's judgment.
But she had to leave. At the moment, there's nothing we can do to help. Hemi stuck his head out.
"She's human, legend has it that human!" Chang Hou clenched his fists, his faith was indestructible!
- Miss Yue, is what you just said true?
Back in the pink room, the little beetle dared to ask.
"Which part?" she climbed into bed.
It thought for a moment, then shook its head.
- Not any part, but all of them.
"Not exactly. Some of them are, and some of them are not. β
What? Which part is and what part is not? What does it mean -- is she lying, lying in front of the elders? That's so bold.
- For example?
The voice of the beetle could not be smaller, for fear that the wall would have ears.
"For example, the fact that you can't eat demons has nothing to do with the crisis in the castle. She laughed, and didn't want to blame it for the loophole.
- Really? Is that my fault?
"Yes. β
What else is the "not all" part??
- Building One, it's in crisis, isn't it, it's part of it?
The little beetle swallowed his saliva and cautiously tried it.
