Chapter Twenty-Three: The Emperor in Memory

Zhou Qi wiped his mouth that was not stained with crumbs, and the overwhelming shadow monster washed them away as soon as they appeared. It's just that these monsters are not as strong as Zhou Qi saw in the illusion at the beginning, their skeletons are almost indestructible, but as long as they directly injure the shadows, even a simple puncture can kill them.

Zhou Qi was originally not interested in these shadow monsters, and he accidentally ate some of them before, but he was wary of these monsters who didn't know where they came from. Until the hunger pangs increased with the constant use of the Flower of Blood, and he had to eat the shadows.

The memories carried by these shadows seem to come from different individuals, and those memory fragments are scattered and fragmented, like books with no beginning or end, which will not affect Zhou Qi's self-perception, but will only make him involuntarily recall these memories in his mind.

They seem to come from a secluded kingdom, and Zhou Qi has seen some experiences in the fragments of memory, many of the residents of the metropolis who used to live in the bustling traffic of the inner city suddenly come to a more primitive society than outside the inner city.

They spoke more than seven different languages, only a few of the yellow people spoke the common language of the wilderness familiar to Zhou Qi, engaged in simple farming in an unknown country, and they believed in the "emperor" as a god, but no one had ever heard of the emperor's name before they came to the kingdom.

The Emperor's name is Dawn, and all those who are pious to the Emperor have a feeling that the Emperor will save the outside world, just as God did in the Book of Genesis to create a new, eternal kingdom.

But there is not a fragment of memory that records the emperor's appearance, only a deep light, like...

The Holy Light of Aponia?!

Zhou Qi woke up from his contemplation, the so-called emperor seemed to be related to the Tianzheng Church, but it was countless times more terrifying than anyone he had seen before, including Nan and Qingxiaozi, even if he glanced at the memory fragments after a long time, he could feel the endless coercion.

Zhou Qi drew the long knife on the ground and began to search for the lost people, deciding that he had a chance to ask Aponia if he knew about the mysterious emperor.

The second underground floor is not big, in fact, Zhou Qi and Qiu Xiang have touched the outermost wall before, but the overwhelming shadow monster seems to have suddenly appeared, and the four of them didn't find it at all when they explored before, and at this time, with the wave of impact, the empty underground area returned to quiet.

Zhou Qi followed his memory and returned to the hub, and to his surprise, Hua Ye and White came back one step ahead of him.

Seeing Zhou Qi's return, White also breathed a sigh of relief:

"Captain, I'll just say it, Brother Zhou must be safe, he is so much stronger than me, I'm fine, what can he do."

Hua Ye flicked the cigarette ash on his hand, and his face was calm:

"I can't say that, it's weird here, and no one knows what the crisis is. Brother Zhou is still safe along the way, right? ”

Zhou Qi nodded, and complained in his heart: Not to mention peace, they are all full. Then he looked around and saw that there was one person missing.

"Where's Qiu Xiang, haven't you come back yet?"

"Hey, I'll be there soon, these bones are disgusting, they're weak but they're really unappetizing."

The crisp voice came from the walkie-talkie on Hua Ye's right arm, and the people listening to the voice seemed to be safe and sound.

White's answer came at the same time: "We all have walkie-talkies, this thing is not good for you, so in fact, except for Brother Zhou, we have not lost contact." ”

Zhou Qi scratched his head, he was still not fully adapted to exploring the wilderness with the assistance of high technology, although these things were convenient, he couldn't get them on a daily basis, and he couldn't afford to use them. He let out a long sigh, slightly depressed at his poverty.

But after thinking about it, although this expedition was full of twists and turns, it was very rewarding, not only found the mission items, received the salary, but also found an additional mysterious silver box, which was hidden in the mystery, and the estimated price was not cheap, but I don't know how the spoils will be divided when the time comes. Qiu Xiang's family is not short of money, it shouldn't be too much, White's outfit is not cheap, and it doesn't look bad, so he should be able to get about forty percent in the end? Huh? Wait, what about the chest?

Zhou Qi looked left and right, jumped up and down, looked at it three times and three times, the suitcase was still there, the box was gone, it was gone.

"Is that box with Qiu Xiang?" Zhou Qi asked everyone present without giving up, after all, no matter how precious the suitcase is, he can't share the money, and the box is really missing a sum without his income.

"Hey, no, the silver box? I remember it was not far from the suitcase, right? The answer that made Zhou Qi desperate came from the walkie-talkie, Zhou Qi looked at Hua Ye and White, the former was still smoking a cigarette as if nothing had happened, and the latter didn't care about it at all, and said that he hadn't seen it anymore.

"Was it swept away by that wave of monsters just now?" After a careful search, White expressed his opinion.

Hua Ye urged without raising his head: "Look carefully, that thing is not simple, and it will be a disaster to lose it and open it again." ”

"Yes, yes, the illusion in the box is so real, maybe you can update the VR technology if you bring it back." Qiu Xiang squatted not far away, she was very interested in the box, well, it should be said that she was very interested in everything interesting.

Zhou Qi had already sentenced this matter to death in his heart, "I really can't find it, let's go back first, this place is very weird." "Money is important, but it also has to be spent on life, Zhou Qida felt that the second floor of the underground was uneasy in his heart, and there was always an inexplicable sense of depression.

Hua Ye took a hard sip and slapped the board on this matter: "What Brother Zhou said also makes sense, anyway, the task is completed, let's go back first, and listen to how the above arranges after the box is reported." ”

Agreeing on ideas, the four set out on the road back with a well-preserved chest.

The damage to the second basement floor is not serious, the floor structure is still intact, and although the four of them remember the direction of the stairs, it will take some time to hurry.

"I don't know where so many bone monsters are hiding, and I haven't seen them before?" White muttered, he had never seen anything so evil, and if he didn't know the weaknesses despite his attack power, the Shadow Monsters might be able to wipe out a team like them.

"Who knows, maybe they will hide in these ruins and climb out en masse at a certain time." Zhou Qi was talking trash and didn't pay much attention to it.

"The stairs are gone!" Hua Ye, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped, his expression solemn. Following his line of sight, Zhou Qi and the three of them couldn't help but feel terrified in their hearts, the wall that originally opened the swarthy cave entrance was impenetrable at the moment, and they couldn't find their way back.
