Chapter 450

The dim light source passed through countless dark red gauze tents, and mottled blood light of different light and darkness fell on the ground. The hall was empty, and the plants coiled in the corners of the curtain were the only living beings here, exuding a soothing meaning that no one could comprehend.

The teleportation point to the lower level of the hall flickered, and a slender black cat appeared in the clearing, stretching first, as if driven by someone, and it twisted its ass and took a few steps forward. At most three steps, it suddenly stopped and looked behind it suspiciously, its cat's eyes staring warily at some invisible spot. But as an animal, it couldn't concentrate for that long, and it soon yawned again. It turned, its shoulder blades lowered, its head slightly raised, its eyes fixed on the front, and then it gracefully soared into the air, leaping a distance of about a meter, showing the tips of its claws just to grasp the expensive gauze tent of the highland mage, all the way up to the top, and drew two traces on the gauze tent, as if it were bloodstained.

A moment later, two figures appeared in the small clearing, both looking up at the cat.

Luo Qi frowned, the human and cat confronted each other for a second, and the black cat let go of the yarn tent that had been hooked with silk, twisted in the air, and pounced on Luo Qi's head. Roach let out a grunt, and the black cat reluctantly reoriented at the last moment, landing on Roach's shoulder.

Liu Zizhi watched the entire process of Luo Qi's recovery of the probe without missing any details. She looked at the kitten with interest, "It's a little hard to manage, huh?" My brother listens to you more than him, why? ”

"Why did Du Zhengyi listen to me?" Luo Qi looked at her with some vigilance, and said in depth that this could be extended to accuse him of controlling Du Zhengyi with his mind, and on another occasion it could be an accusation against Master Mind.

"Huh?" Liu Ziyu looked at him in confusion, "I'm asking why a mere cat can not cooperate with the Mind Master." ”

"Oh." Roach understood, a little embarrassed by his misunderstood. He glanced at Liu Ziyu again, "Luo Ruiqi is not exactly a cat, its brain structure is much more complex than that of a cat, and it has some special telepathic abilities. While I can technically have full control over it, full control over any sapient creature will cause them a certain amount of mental damage. ”

Liu Ziyu showed a look of understanding and nodded.

The kitten tilted its head, stuck out its pink tongue, and licked Roach's ear, Rocky raised his hand and rubbed it against its neck, muttering in a low voice, "Actually, I'm not too willing to send it to explore the way." ”

"I see." Liu Ziyu said, reassuring Luo Qi, "I won't make this suggestion next time." ”

Roach glanced at her, the black cat was struggling on his shoulder, its paws clutching at his coat, refusing to go back into his pocket as if he had slept enough, and he obeyed the cat's will as a good cat slave, carrying the cat cautiously through the tent. In the space separated by the curtain, some personal belongings left here can be faintly seen.

"Do you sense that there are still people?" Liu Ziyu asked after him, and Luo Qi heard her open the curtain from time to time as she walked and looked inside curiously. "How big is the area you can see?"

Roach didn't answer, he hesitated across a path, wondering if he should waste his time going to Qionglin's office in the corner of the hall. Where he stood at his feet, he approached the center of the hall. Now he knew what the only fixed fountain in the hall was for, and the fountain in the center of the hall was like a landmark that could be used to locate it.

"I'm worried about Guan Xinyue." Liu Ziyu followed behind him and said worriedly, "She is not a mage, if no one informs her when she evacues, she may be left behind." ”

"Oh, you mean this." Roach looked back at her, "She's not here, I can't feel her." The entire building, including the four botanical gardens here, is devoid of a single person. Just as he turned his head to talk to Liu Ziyu, he suddenly saw something by the fountain.

A few paces away, he estimated it to be a book, a paper book. Highland mages don't read paper books.

Roach didn't hesitate, turned around and headed straight for the fountain. No one ever threw anything near the Highland Mage's fountain, the fountain in the middle of the Great Hall, and even if the Highland Mage didn't say it was sacred, everyone would instinctively avoid it. Except for Guan Xinyue, she once threw a one-yuan coin here. Rocky wasn't going to tell anyone about this, and he silently thought that the Highland Mage might curse her for this.

When he was far from the last step of the fountain, Luo Qi's heart was about to jump out of his ribs, and his two eyes were firmly fixed on Jin Yong, who should have been lying on his bed, and his eyes were sore.

Liu Ziyu trotted up to follow, and just as Luo Qi reached out to grab the book, she ran to Luo Qi's side and asked eagerly, "What did you find?" ”

"This is my book!" Roach narrowed his eyes and stared at the ink painting on the cover.

"Isn't this Du Zhengyi's book? I see he's been reading lately. Liu Ziyu glanced at the familiar book cover and said subconsciously.

"Nonsense, my brother's is mine." Roach swallowed and asserted his ownership, his mind spinning wildly, wondering who and why, had brought it here.

Liu Ziyu didn't have much interest in whose book it was, but her thinking was the same as Luo Qi's, "Someone went to your room and took a piece of your personal belongings and deliberately threw it in this most conspicuous place, it must have wanted to tell you something." ”

Luo Qi looked at the name on the book jacket and said so-so, "Yes, it may be to tell me that in order to escape this catastrophe, I must practice the martial arts introduced in this book." So, I first need to go to the palace. Liu Ziyu's eyes widened, Luo Qi glanced at her, and explained, "This is a book of smiling and proud rivers and lakes." ”

Liu Ziyu blinked, and his explanation didn't help her much.

"Forget it, don't care what I say, your senior brother can already automatically filter my nonsense, you have to work harder, little junior sister." Roach quickly flipped through the book, trying to see if there were any slips in it, if there were any written on the inside pages. But at first glance, there are none of these, just a broken pine branch sandwiched inside, which seems to be used as a bookmark. He touched the pine branches, which must have been broken from a temperate garden. "The last time I flipped through this book, I definitely didn't clip anything, and Du Zheng didn't need a bookmark when he read the book."

"So someone deliberately let you see it, what message is it using this? But why pine branches, can you guess? Liu Ziyu asked.

Roach shook his head, his mind going blank indeed.

"Maybe you want to wish me a long life." Roach said with a gloomy face, "You know, the pines and cypresses are evergreen. ”11
