Pawn Crossing the River

Why was Qi Xuansu not affected? There are various reasons, but the key is that the Earth Master helped him deal with the pages of the "Hira Sutra".

Can Qi Xuansu now compete with Sirila? Qi Xuansu was not afraid of this apostle of hell, considering that Sirila could not come directly, could only penetrate part of her power, and had a very limited impact in the real world.

However, Qi Xuansu didn't agree directly. He couldn't just take a huge risk to help a beautiful woman with a few soft words. He was not such a good person.

Seeing that Qi Xuansu was noncommittal, Audrey immediately said: "As long as you can help me get relief and get rid of Sirila's control over me, I can dedicate everything I have."

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "I am not interested in anything about you, including your gold crown, identity, status, reputation, body, etc., etc."

Audrey was not surprised by Qi Xuansu's rejection, and then said: "What about the list of traitors within Tawanting?"

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two seemed to solidify.

Qi Xuansu looked calm on the surface, but his tone was a bit more sinister: "Miss El, what does the traitor in Tawanting have to do with me?"

Audrey didn't seem to notice the change in Qi Xuansu's tone and continued: "It is said that the influence of the 'Xirui Sutra' is pervasive. Even its owner Xirila was accidentally affected and thought that she was a being who could rival the Supreme Will. He was so arrogant that he took the initiative to attack the Holy See, which eventually led to him being sent to hell, and the 'Hira's Book' also fell into the hands of the Holy Court. The Holy Court did not destroy the 'Hira's Book', but only sealed it and treated it as a treasure. as a means of dealing with the enemy."

"For hundreds of years, the 'Heritage' has been in the hands of the Holy See. Until a few years ago, Toronus, one of the three apostles of the Holy See, came to the eastern sea and lost the 'Heritage'. It is said that , the 'Xirui Jing' fell into the hands of Dongfang Dao Sect."

"And you, Mr. Dutch van der Linde, possess the power of the 'Heritage Sutra'. This is interesting. Do you have any connection with the Taoist sect on the other side of the ocean?"

"By the way, there is also the violent explosion that occurred in the lower city last night. I heard some rumors, which seem to be related to the protectors of Tawanting."

Qi Xuansu calmed down instead: "Miss Aier, you are very well informed."

Audrey smiled and said: "I once toured all over the Old World and made several bishop friends."

Qi Xuansu was not panicked. Since Audrey told these things face to face instead of reporting them to the Holy Court, it meant that she wanted to negotiate terms, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Audrey added: "I am not saying this to blackmail you, I just want to prove that you really need this information."

"Where did your so-called list of Tawanting traitors come from?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Audrey replied: "I have a good personal relationship with a cardinal priest, and I accidentally discovered this list when I was a guest at his home."

Although Qi Xuansu had set up restrictions around it to isolate the inside and outside, Qi Xuansu still said: "Let's talk in a more suitable place."

"Go to my apartment?" Audrey suggested.

Qi Xuansu said: "To go outside the city, you don't need to go in person, just a projection."

Audrey nodded, and the projection slowly dissipated.

Qi Xuansu also disappeared in place.

Although this is the middle city, the most prosperous place in St. York, and even the St. Francis Cathedral is located, the Patriarch is not here, but in the upper city, so Qi Xuansu is not afraid of being discovered.

Soon, Qi Xuansu appeared on a wasteland outside the city, not far from the Hudson River.

Audrey also pursued the aura of the "Xirui Sutra" and projected it in front of Qi Xuansu again.

Qi Xuansu got straight to the point this time: "As you said, I am indeed very interested in the list of traitors in your hand, but there is one thing I want to know. How can you guarantee that this list is true and reliable?"

"I'm sorry, I can't guarantee it." Audrey, who was wearing a hood, shook her head slowly.

Qi Xuansu said: "Then there is nothing to talk about."

Audrey looked at Qi Xuansu and said seriously: "But I can guarantee it with my life."

"What do you mean?" Qi Xuansu and Audrey looked at each other, "You can be more specific."

Audrey said softly: "I can leave St. York and go to Tawanting. If this information is wrong and I deceived you, then... you can execute me. But if this information is true and reliable, then Please provide me with shelter."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment and said: "Miss El, if I guess correctly, you not only want to get rid of Sirila's control, but also want to escape from the Western world, is that right?"

Audrey was silent for a very short time, then nodded and said, "That's right."

"It's both a guarantee and an escape. In the words of the Orientals, you kill two birds with one stone." Qi Xuansu said, "But is it worth it? In St. York, you have reputation, status, status, and many fans, and you have great glory. But You have to take a huge risk to go to Tawanting. Even if you succeed, you won't get anything. There is no prosperity like St. York. After you go there, you won't have everything you have now, and you will even be attacked by the locals. Human hostility, can I ask, what is all this for? Is it just to get rid of Sirila? "

Audrey fell into a long silence and slowly uttered two words: "Freedom."

"Hell is Cirilla's cage, and St. York is my cage. No matter how exquisite and gorgeous it is, how it is made of pure gold and inlaid with gems, the cage is always a cage, and I am the bird in the cage, without any freedom at all. "

"Go to Tawantin and I can be free."

Qi Xuansu said noncommittally: "It is also possible that he came from one prison to another. Tawanting just has a different stance from St. York. It does not mean that Tawanting will be a paradise. There is a saying in the East that people leave their hometown. Damn, leaving your hometown may not be a good choice.”

Under Qi Xuansu's gaze, Audrey fell into silence again.

Qi Xuansu said slowly: "I believe that what you said is true. But I think freedom is only one of the many reasons that prompted you to make such a decision. There must be deeper reasons. I don't like 'all lies' If you don't tell the truth, I hope we can be more sincere to each other, so we should be honest and open, what do you think?"

Audrey sighed: "Okay, sincerity. As your Excellency said, freedom is indeed only one of the many reasons why I want to escape from Saint York. As for the deeper reason, which is also the most fundamental reason, that is survival."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Is there someone who wants to kill you? In St. York? According to my observation, you seem to have a very good relationship with Speaker Sophia August. Under her protection, you should be very safe. ”.

Audrey asked, "What if the person who wants to hurt me is Sophia August?"

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "I don't deny this possibility, but you still need more reasons to prove and convince me."

Audrey bit her lip lightly, looking pitiful: "Of course I can give you more reasons to convince you, but just the projection is not enough, you need to meet my real body."

Qi Xuansu asked directly: "What time? Where?"

"That's all right now. As for the location, I've already returned to my apartment." Audrey looked at Qi Xuansu's expression, "You won't suspect that I have set a trap, right?"

Qi Xuansu just said: "I'll be there soon."

Audrey can follow the power of the "Xirui Sutra" to find Qi Xuansu's location, and Qi Xuansu can also reversely determine Audrey's location. This connection is always two-way.

Audrey Al finally finished dealing with the powerful people and returned to her apartment on White Avenue with exhaustion all over her body.

This kind of fatigue is not physical fatigue, but mental weariness, which is caused by weariness.

When Audrey opened the apartment door, her eyes suddenly widened.

Qi Xuansu, who was by the river outside the city just now, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a cane in both hands and looking at Audrey calmly.

"Mr. van der Linde, you came so quickly." Audrey instantly regained her composure and closed the apartment door.

The moment the door closed, the entire apartment was completely isolated from the inside and outside.

Qi Xuansu said: "Now, we can continue talking."

Audrey's face was solemn: "Okay. I will provide more reasons to convince you."

After that, Audrey began to take off her evening dress.

Qi Xuansu frowned, but soon relaxed.

Audrey did not want to show her graceful body to Qi Xuansu. Under the evening dress, there was a rather terrifying body hidden, covered with various strange characters. Although Qi Xuansu did not recognize these characters, they were not unfamiliar. , exactly the same as the words on the pages of the "Heritage".

These characters are almost everywhere on Audrey's body, except for those places that are often exposed, such as cheeks, neck, collarbones, chest, ankles, etc.

Of course, such a body cannot be used to serve others, otherwise after taking off the clothes, those "guests" will really be frightened into depression.

Qi Xuansu realized that his previous guess was wrong. There was something hidden in it, and it was by no means a simple power and sex deal.

Audrey said in a very sad tone: "I can clearly feel that my life is being lost and my consciousness is dying. I believe that it won't be long before I will be replaced by Sirila. I must get rid of Sirila La, must also escape from St. York."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What does your being corrupted by Sirila have to do with you becoming a well-known actor?"

Audrey whispered: "Your Excellency, the apostles need a large number of believers, and those fans who are obsessed with me are the most suitable candidates."
