forty-two

I opened my eyes abruptly and took a deep breath, the sting and suffocation of the dagger in my chest still made my heart palpitate, and the ceiling of the bedroom was already in my eyes, announcing the end of the dream. My heart relaxed, and I slowly exhaled the turbidity in my chest.

"Are you awake?"

I didn't expect that there was anyone in the room, and when I was asked so abruptly, the rhythm of my exhalation was disrupted, and the remaining half of my breath stumbled around my chest, and spread out in a short and difficult way to gather, forcing out a series of unstructured coughs.

Wu Qing didn't want a greeting to lead to this series of reactions, so he was slightly stunned and hurriedly helped me up, patted my back and said, "What do you say?" ”

I waved my hand and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Wu Qing said: "When I first entered the Mao. ”

It was the second half of the night when I came out of the Demon King's Mansion yesterday, so it was only an hour now.

I laughed and said, "It's time...... It's not a long time, and it's not easy for a dream to be so realistic. ”

Wu Qingmo replied and said, "It's really not easy for you to sleep for three days." ”

"Three days?" I'm a little messy, and I say that if I don't see each other for a day, it's like three autumns, and if I don't see each other, I don't see each other for three days.

I muttered, "This dream is so vivid that my feelings have been operating this dream for three days......"

Wu Qing didn't know my broken thoughts, and said, "In the three days that you have been asleep, I have first gone to prepare for the convening of the ten elders, and I don't want to ......."

I rubbed the corners of my forehead, not paying attention to her words, "How?" ”

Wu Qing frowned and said, "You better go and see for yourself." ”

As the saying goes, what captures the king first, I decided to go and see the Great Elder Yuming first.

Yu Ming can get the status of the Great Elder, it is not a waste of fame, there are still two brushes, to subdue him, it has to work hard, along the way I was silently speculating about how to do this effort, and even played how to "know it with affection, move it with courtesy" draft, but after seeing Yu Ming, I began to feel that speculation was redundant, and I began to understand that what Wu Qing said without thinking much was not a consolation but a statement of facts...... At that time, Yu Ming was sitting, and when he heard someone open the door and come in, he was indifferent, staring blankly at the empty table with a simple smile on his face, and the rising sun just illuminated a saliva that slipped from the corner of his mouth.

I really couldn't connect the demented old demon in front of me with the Great Elder of the Demon Realm, and asked in disbelief, "Is this really the Great Elder?" ”

Wu Qing said: "He is demented, and he has not changed his face, now he can't recognize you as normal, but if you can't recognize him, then the memory is really worrying." ”

“……”

The housekeeper behind us took over the conversation with great eyes, and said with a smile: "The master has become like this, not to mention the fifth son, even the villain doesn't know how many more days he can recognize." ”

The butler's words made the atmosphere inexplicably sad, and after a long time, Wu Qingfang said: "While the memories of you and the fifth prince are still good, hurry up and talk about the situation of the great elder." ”

The housekeeper said: "Yes, the old man has a strange disease that has only appeared in the demon world for nearly five hundred years, this disease has no cause, it is menacing, it is only a month before and after, and the demon who gets sick will be completely demented." ”

I frowned and said, "Strange disease? Were there symptoms before dementia? ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "No, there was no abnormal behavior when I first lost my memory, but my memory was a little worse, and it seemed to be a matter of sleeping when I was completely demented." ”

I said, "Nothing special has happened?" ”

The housekeeper pondered for a while and said, "Special...... Some time ago, the house went to the water, burned several wings, when the fire stabilized a little, I went to the master to report, but I couldn't find anything, the next day the master came out of the bedroom, I didn't know anything about the previous night, only said to sleep in the room, but I went to the bedroom that night to find him, he was obviously not there. Later, I also found out that there were several times when the old man was not in the bedroom. ”

I thought about it for a moment and asked, "Just now you said that it is a strange disease, are there many people in the demon world who suffer from this disease?" ”

The housekeeper said: "Yes, at the beginning, it was just a little demon who was a little bit of a little demon, about one or two hundred years ago, some famous demons with names and surnames were also infected, and the first one to be found was the old demon of Montenegro, because it was a dioecious community, and the disease was also obtained by male and female in turn, compared to other infected demons, it was an advantage, and it was the only one who did not have dementia in the disease." ”

After listening to it, I had mixed feelings, and I didn't know whether to regret the old demon's unfortunate illness or to rejoice in its unique advantages.

After coming out of the Great Elder's place, I discussed with Wu Qingluo, and both agreed that we should go to see the old demon of Montenegro again before discussing.

Although he learned some information from the Great Elder's butler and was mentally prepared for the memory of the old demon of Black Mountain, it turned out that he was not fully prepared.

The old demon of Montenegro is a male and female community, male and female two forms appear in turn, the physique is special, the appearance of the form is also regular and not ordinary, the day is yang, so in an hour of the day, the proportion of male and female is one male and three, and the night is the opposite.

The little demon who ushered us into the living room, and after serving tea, he said respectfully: "The fifth prince and Lord Chaos will wait a while, and Lord Montenegro will come in a moment." At this moment, there were three teas.

As soon as the fourth tea was served, the old demon of Montenegro entered the door tremblingly with a notebook, and said with an apologetic smile: "The old man is lost, so the two distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time." Before the words fell, it neatly opened the book and wrote a few strokes, slowly closed the book and said, "Who are the two of you?" What's the point? Where is this? ”

Listening to the tone, it was a female figure at the moment, I got up and quietly opened her notebook, which neatly recorded the complete process of her from the bedroom to here, and the sentence just written was, "In the middle of the time, get lost, go to the living room, let the guest wait for a long time." "The ink hasn't dried yet. I took the pen and wrote the names of Wu Qing and me on a new line.

The old demon looked at it, closed the notebook, and said, "It turned out to be the fifth prince and the chaos lord, what are you doing here?" ”

Wu Qing said: "We are here today to learn about some things before and after you suffered from this strange disease. ”

"Oh......" The old demon closed his eyes with a deep groan, and opened them with a puzzled expression, "What are the two of you?" What's the point? Where is this? ”

Wu Qing snorted, stunned and didn't speak, thinking that her memory was very poor, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.

After communicating like this for a while, it took until the male form appeared, but it was only a little better than the female form, and the exchange of back and forth could not exceed five sentences.

Coming out of the old demon of Montenegro, Wu Qing sighed: "It's a busy day." ”

I smiled and said, "Who said that this matter is already quite eyebrow-raising, how can it be said that it is in vain?" ”
