CHAPTER XXXII

Du Zhengyi and Luo Qi looked at each other for a moment, Luo Qi looked demented and speechless, Du Zhengyi no longer paid attention to him, stepped into the pit with one foot, and reached out to pull open the body bag.

The corpse of an adult female was exposed to his eyes, the corpse had not completely decomposed after the harsh winter, and there were many messy crossings on the corpse, and Du Zheng did not completely die until he saw the steel nails inserted in the eyes of the corpse. He closed the woven bag, "It doesn't look like a little girl, it may be the missing Qi Yue." ”

"And then?" Guan Xinyue asked anxiously, and glanced at Luo Qi in fear.

"I'm not sure about anything else." Du Zhengyi said.

Roach finally let go of the wooden rod of the shovel, and the shovel fell on the floating soil at his feet, and Du Zheng turned his head to look at him, his expression still light and incomprehensible.

"Why did you tell Guan Xinyue that story that day?" After thinking for a moment, he asked. His tone was soft, sounding like hospice care.

"That's a nonsense story!" Roach's throat was dry and hoarse, and despair was in his throat. The cheap woven bag with blue and red stripes shook in the wind, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, staring at the vicious bag. The cold wind of early spring whipped his neck and poured into his neckline, blowing the damp breath on his skin, swimming into his clothes like a snake spitting letters, sticky around him, whispering behind his ears.

Roach swallowed, clenching his fists tightly, thinking he might be going crazy. How did he know that? Why did he come up with a story about a cheap woven bag, a wrapped corpse with steel nails in its eyes? Has anyone ever touched his head? Someone stuffed this garbage into his head?

His heart was in turmoil, his ears were ringing like a drum, and subconsciously he looked at Du Zhengyi again. Du Zhengyi avoided his gaze, just like a healthy person, out of conscience, he would not be able to look directly at a person who was terminally ill and dying. Du Zhengyi looked worried.

"Roach!" Guan Xinyue shouted in his ear, startling him again. Then he realized that Guan Xinyue had never called him in such a pleading voice, and he understood what Guan Xinyue meant, and she longed for him to say something so that they could all wake up from this nightmare.

"Roach." Du Zhengyi suddenly shouted, his tone was rapid and his voice was low, as if he had finally made up his mind. Roach turned his head back and forth between the two of them in a daze. Through the corpse, Luo Qi saw Du Zhengyi's lips move, and from the shape of his mouth, it was a curse. Then his long legs stepped over the pit that Roach had dug, and he walked up to Roach in one step.

"Listen to me," he scolded again, and then said hurriedly, "Mahjong is right, you take the initiative to go to the committee, you may have a little advantage." ”

Luo Qi listened numbly, Du Zhengyi grabbed his shoulder, looked him in the eye and said, "If the matter was only related to me, I wouldn't care, but now things have gone off the rails." Our movements must be fast, and our active reactions can compress the process and report directly to His Holiness. Roach! Can you hear me? ”

Luo Qi looked at Du Zhengyi's eyes and nodded, his throat was swollen and he couldn't speak.

"The situation here is very complicated, I can't leave, can you take your own transportation to the nearest Pendragon rail station?" Du Zhengyi asked.

Roach nodded again, and the two set off together, but now he was going back alone, back to the center of the wizarding world, to report his problems. He felt like a rat in a labyrinth box, and even if he could barely find an exit from all walks around, the exit would only lead to a cage.

"I'll give you a coordinate, you go to Pei Shu, he is one of the Venerables. Do you understand? ”

This sentence gave Rocky a little hope, and he nodded.

"Okay."

He could hear that Du Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the hand that was holding Luo Qi, patted him on the shoulder, and then grabbed both of his shoulders, as if trying to cheer him up. "Zhao Zhiyan won't understand what's unusual here, so we still have a little time. If you think about it, what was the idea that brought you here to dig up the body? ”

Luo Qi looked into the depths of Du Zhengyi's pupils, it was just a glance, and he turned his eyes away suddenly. "No—"

Guan Xinyue looked at them anxiously, and almost slipped into the corpse pit with her feet, jumping up in fright. This move distracted Du Zhengyi and Luo Qi at the same time, Luo Qi pushed Du Zhengyi away, raised his hand and pinched his face anxiously, "No, you don't want to check my brain." My mind must have been moved, I know. What if I'm a trap? Is there someone waiting for this opportunity, waiting for you to sink into my consciousness? They know that you are not only bold, but also curious. ”

Du Zhengyi didn't speak, but pursed his lips tightly, and now Luo Qi knew that this expression was almost equivalent to indicating that Du Zhengyi was indeed at an impasse.

At this moment, Du Zhengyi suddenly turned around and looked at the locked courtyard door. Roach subconsciously followed suit, and soon he heard a voice of someone fiddling with the lock on the iron door outside. Before he could think about anything, he heard the lock open with a "snap", and the iron latch clicked open, and then the door burst open, scattering dust and snow in all directions.

Two figures appeared in the doorway, one was a monk in brown and yellow monk's robes, and the other was a magician who was so fashionable that it was out of place.

Zhao Zhiyan grinned when he entered the door, "I don't know if there is something important here, I am worried about you, I am worried about you, I am in a hurry to come over to help, and the monk has no place to put it, so I just invite you to come over." ”

Luo Qi knew that this was because the two sides did not trust each other, and Zhao Zhiyan hurried over to see it for fear of being concealed from any information. He was already disgusted with Zhao Zhiyan in his heart, but now when he saw his cynical and smiling face, he almost felt physiological disgust.

"How's it going over here?" Zhao Zhiyan asked with a smile.

"Something was found." Du Zhengyi said that his recovering expression was as usual, "It's not convenient for the monk to see." ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Zhao Zhiyan said, "Anyway, I have to bring the monk back for inspection, and he has no chance to contact others." ”

He said that his attitude was like catching an animal in a nature reserve and now bringing it back to the institute. Luo Qi turned his head in disgust, thinking that the monk must have been coerced, so he subconsciously glanced at the monk.

Who knew that the monk was standing quietly at the door, but he didn't face Luo Qi, and when he landed, he was like seeing a ghost, and his face was full of horror. Luo Qi's nerves had been dulled in the process of digging the pit just now, and he didn't react to the monk's strange behavior, he only thought vaguely for a moment, being controlled by the two magicians, the monk must have reached the verge of collapse.

But there is a limit to how sluggish it is, and when Roach is stared at by the other two, the instinctive fear once again raises his spirit to the sharpness of the level. He came back to his senses and noticed the expressions of Zhao Zhiyan and Du Zhengyi, the two of them actually had a trace of similarity, and each of them was surprised in disbelief.

Roach's heart sank, and he knew that today's troubles were destined to follow, and then they were densely woven into threads, and finally he was trapped in layers and dragged into hell.

Du Zhengyi seemed to be the first to return to normal, but he looked at Luo Qi's expression more and more confused. Zhao Zhiyan finished performing the whole scene of dumbfounded, and finally "hey" came up angry, and slapped the monk who was trembling for some reason, "It turns out that you haven't completely quit the fear instinct." It's weird, why are you afraid of him? ”

The monk looked at Luo Qi blankly and shook his head tremblingly, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

Everyone in the courtyard had solemn faces, but Zhao Zhiyan was very relaxed and fast, and he looked like he had all the burdens in his heart. "It's come to this point, but it's really out of my hands. What exactly did you find? He had already seen the pit behind Du Zhengyi, "Hey? Who dug a hole here? Roach? ”

As soon as Du Zheng stared at him, his face suddenly became very ugly, and ominous thoughts flashed through Luo Qi's heart again. He heard Du Zhengyi ask sharply, "You notified the committee?" ”

Zhao Zhiyan shrugged, "Shouldn't I?" I have to report to my superiors, right? ”

"What did you report?" Rocky asked in a low voice.

"Report that I have found the great monk." Zhao Zhiyan said as a matter of course, "All that's left is to see how the Mind Mage pries his mouth open, that's beyond my ability, and I can get off work." ”

After speaking, he smiled at Luo Qi, "It looks like I have to bring you back now, and the Mind Mage definitely needs to check why the Great Monk has an abnormal reaction when he sees you." ”

"Then I'll report this to my superiors as well." Du Zhengyi said coldly, "I'm afraid that ordinary telepathic mages can't check Luo Qi's thoughts. ”

"Oh-" Zhao Zhiyan said arrogantly, looking at Du Zhengyi and laughing again, "That's not my business." ”

Du Zhengyi frowned. Zhao Zhiyan was very taboo about him, his face was still smiling, but his body was tense, and he was always on guard against Du Zhengyi. The harmonious alliance that had been reluctantly built by relying on strength to suppress it was about to disappear.

Roach felt like he had learned a lesson, but he knew right away that it didn't matter.

"They'll be there soon." Zhao Zhiyan said with a smile, his tone was kind, but he was also reminding them.

Roach's heart was beating violently, his eye pressure was elevated, and he had a headache. In the midst of great tension, the events of the past few days quickly swirled in his mind, and he did not know whether it was the result of thinking or intuition, and he suddenly knew who was coming.

A familiar wave of energy flickered in the courtyard, and Roach knew that someone had arrived here through spatial travel. He turned his head sharply to look at Du Zhengyi, and when the figure condensed and formed, he said, "Li Xu." ”

He didn't know if Du Zhengyi had heard what he was talking about, three figures in wide-sleeved robes appeared, three middle-aged mages, led by them, they all knew each other, and they just met.

"First-level Execution Mage, Li Xu." The well-dressed and leisurely mage said to everyone, with a solemnity that could not be resisted, "Executive Committee official business. ”

The handover happened almost instantly, and Luo Qi only came and shouted "Guan Xinyue", but he was not calling the girl, he looked into Du Zhengyi's eyes and said. He knew that Du Zhengyi would understand what he meant, and as long as he asked Guan Xinyue, it would be the same as asking Luo Qi himself. After that, Roach was swept up in a torrent of space.
