zero o'clock

【Only one can live】

At the same time, the third floor of Zixuan Yayuan.

The man in the cloak at the end of the corridor paused for a moment, and then looked around the corner hesitantly. Under the shadow of the hood, the dark eyes of the man dissipated, and the sharp pupils like a raptor slowly tightened. Carefully recalling the back of the woman in the glimpse, until a voice sounded from close at hand——

"Master Feng, Boss Lian has prepared the things we want, do you think you need to see it yourself?"

The speaker was a young woman in a city hunting suit with a capable appearance. She stood in the right position, neither alienated nor too close to her master. She lowered her head slightly when she spoke, and her tone was extremely respectful. The gloved hands held a black envelope and presented it respectfully in front of the other party.

Hearing the words, Feng Chi turned around, his heavy cloak shook lightly, he reached out to take the envelope from his subordinate's hand, and slowly stroked the three words "invitation letter" gilded on the black paper with his fingers—the hand was covered with thin and thin Its pale golden scales and sharp nails seem to be just a layer of rough and cold skin stretched on the phalanx, more like a deformed bird's claw than a human hand.

Under the hood, his face was also half-human, half-demon, elegant and handsome on one side, and covered with creepy tiny scales on the other.

Feng Chi's eyelashes were drooping, but the light in his eyes was slightly diverted, and his mind was obviously not on the envelope.

The woman standing aside with her head bowed noticed something strange, hesitated for a while, and then asked softly: "Lord Feng, is there... a problem with this invitation letter?"

"No," Feng Chi said, "I seem to have seen an acquaintance just now."

The woman was slightly taken aback, and her eyes rolled away. As a subordinate, she naturally couldn't ask the master who she saw, but it was obviously inappropriate not to speak at this time. She thought about it quickly, and said: "If it is an acquaintance, Do you need Wanrou to invite people back? Master Feng doesn't go out often, so it's good to catch up with old acquaintances."

Feng Chi admired the intelligent character of this human subordinate, and a smile slowly appeared in the depths of the pupils of the pair, and said, "That acquaintance is a nightmare."

"Nightmare?" Wang Wanrou showed a look of surprise on her face, "Could it be that he is here to work for Lord Chongye?"

Hearing this, Feng Chi curled the corners of his mouth, his smile was very shallow, and there was even a bit of surprise on that half of a handsome human face, but it would only make people feel distorted and terrifying when placed on the side of a monster.He put the invitation letter into the cloak, glanced lightly from the corner of his eye at the private room with a ghost name not far behind him, then lifted his chin leisurely, and said, "Go and ask and you will know."

After he finished speaking, a group of subordinates beside him stood guard on both sides of the private room. Wang Wanrou waved her long arm forward, and the light blue lead volleyed through the air, shooting towards the tightly closed rosewood door.With a muffled bang, the wooden door burst open from the outside. The two people in the private room who were at a loss exclaimed. The dagger walked in majestically among the falling sawdust.

……

The special spiritual power oscillated for a very short time, and disappeared without a trace in the next moment. Li Huan, who had just opened the passenger door of the Land Rover, paused, then raised his head to look at the office building across the road. On the third floor, as if some kind of shock had been received, the curtains covering the windows layer upon layer were lifted to reveal a bright ray of light in the room.

Li Huan couldn't help squinting his eyes, breathing lightly, and said to himself in an unbelievable tone: "Could it be——!"

"It's the Demon Subduing Master," Xing Yi said with a cold face, leaned over and clasped Li Huan's wrist tightly to pull him into the car, and then closed the car door for him, saying, "It's too obvious to start the engine now, let's leave later " After finishing speaking, he brushed away the broken hair on the side of Li Huan's face, groped with his fingertips to find the place where the disguise mask fit the skin, and gently peeled off the face that belonged to the Nightmare.

Under the mask, Li Huan's forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat. Xing Yi looked down at those slightly slack eyes, and did not speak in a hurry, but pressed him into his arms irresistibly, and then said warmly: " Don't think about anything, just relax and relax, I'm here." He tenderly kissed Li Huan's sweaty forehead, then picked out the hamster hiding in the wig, and threw it into the back seat of the Land Rover.

Li Huan nodded, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with him, he just felt extremely panicked, he took a deep breath, and tried his best to expel the inexplicable uneasiness.After calming down, he couldn't help but think of those people who came out of the private room at the end of the corridor, especially the breathless man.

Qi Jingyu frowned slightly, bent down and lifted the little silver fox hamster who had been thrown dizzily at his feet, shook him to help him wake up, and said lightly: "What did you meet?"

Master Mo Luo sighed in his heart, feeling for the second time in his life that animals like hamsters are really useless except for their cuteness, and then resisted the nausea of ​​motion sickness and said seriously: "We may have met a half-demon, it is worth noting that this half-demon The demon and the demon masters are together, and it is obvious that the demon masters obey him."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Qi Jingyu and Xing Yi changed at the same time.

Li Huan patted Xing Yi's arm to indicate that he was fine, then sat upright and turned to look at Qi Jingyu, saying, "The other party is a man in a fox fur cloak. I was about to leave at that time, and he just came out of the room. Short, I didn't see his face, but he gave me a very strange feeling—" He paused, as if sorting out his words, and continued after a moment of hesitation, "Mr. Yan is more sensitive than me in this respect, he said that The man doesn't have spiritual power and demonic aura, so he is probably a half-demon."

"He is indeed a half-demon." Qi Jingyu said.

Sensing that there was something in the other party's words, Xing Yi couldn't help tightening his brows, and said with a burst of blood, "I hear you mean that we have met before?"

Qi Jingyu gave a flat "hmm" and said, "Do you still remember the incident where I was attacked in the Mulan paddock?"

Li Huan was stunned for a moment: "He hurt you?"

"Yes," Qi Jingyu said, "and I suspect that he is a monster created by Chong Ye using Feng Chi's two souls. I'm not sure about this, but what he used to hurt me that time was indeed Feng Chi's usual Phoenix Blood Blade ——This blood blade is very spiritual, and it only recognizes Qingluan as its master in its life, but the three souls are not in harmony, that thing cannot be regarded as a complete Qingluan..."

"Jing Yu, you are too stubborn." Yan Mo said, "You are probably the only one who insists on refusing to admit that the half-demon is not Feng Chi?"

Qi Jingyu glanced at it coolly, but didn't respond.

Li Huan didn't expect that it was a coincidence that he would meet Qingluan Fengchi when he came out this time. Fortunately, it was only a short time at that time, if he accidentally saw the clues, the consequences would be unimaginable!But when he thought about it carefully, he was not so relaxed again—this Phoenix was resurrected by Chong Ye, and the Nightmare happened to work for Chong Ye. Although there was only one back just now, it is still very possible that the Nightmare could be recognized identity of……

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help expressing the worries in his heart. After listening to Qi Jingyu, he didn't rush to make a conclusion, but first asked them about various details after they entered.Li Huan briefly recounted what happened between the encounter with the monkey demon and the time when he received the invitation to the auction. Xing Yi and Qi Jingyu listened carefully. Lian said: "According to what the boss named Lian Gu said, all the monsters who visited this tea house late at night these days came for the invitation letter of the auction, that is to say, even if Feng Chi didn't recognize the nightmare, if we want to follow up , and will definitely meet him on the day of the auction.”

"That's right," Qi Jingyu said, "I think this is an opportunity."

Yan Mo gave him a suspicious look: "What do you want to do?"

Qi Jingyu looked at him calmly: "That's Qingluan's second soul. I've been looking for it for thousands of years, but I can't find it. Right now, it and Chongye are in the dark. If you miss this opportunity and want to find the trace again, It’s not necessarily the year and month.”

Xing Yi's eyes darkened, and he grasped the point of the other party's words in an instant: "You want to seize your soul?"

"Exactly." Qi Jingyu's expression was normal, as if he was deciding on a trivial matter casually.

Li Huan's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe his ears. He had too many questions in his mind, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.This matter is too involved at once, the other party is Qingluan Fengchi, even if it is Fengchi with only two souls, it is an ancient monster comparable to the nine-tailed demon fox, and no one can predict whether Chongye will be on the night of the auction turn up--

Seemingly aware of his uneasiness, Qi Jingyu looked at the little apprentice and smiled reassuringly.

"Teacher knows that this matter is very risky, but he has to give it a go. The phoenix soul in your body has been dormant for nearly 20 years. It is not a long-term solution to suppress it with a strand of my soul. Sooner or later, you will be backlashed by that wisp of phoenix soul due to the weakening of human soul. At that time, even the teacher will not be able to protect you——Qingluan's soul cannot exist in two bodies at the same time, you and him can only live as one! "

Li Huan nodded slowly, and said cautiously: "Then... in what capacity are we going to participate in the auction?"

Qi Jingyu's eyebrows tightened slightly, and he was a little hesitant: "You can't use the name of Nine Tails, it will cause confusion, and your senior brother and senior sister are not only sensitive, but they themselves may not be able to accept the batch of goods from the monkey monster master. Qualifications..." When he said this, he suddenly glanced at the little hamster in his hand.

Li Huan followed the teacher's gaze, and couldn't help blurting out: "Teacher wants to go as Mr. Yan?"

Qi Jingyu raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile while holding the hamster in his hand, and wrote lightly: "Think about all the mortals, monsters, and demons who come to this world, and there is no one with a greater background than Lord Mo Luo."

The corners of Lord Mo Luo's mouth twitched when everyone paid attention to him, and he thought to himself, why does the deity with such a great background still have to be picked up by the hair on the back of his neck in the end?

Do you monsters really think of me as a demon? !

Li Huan stared at the hamster calmly for a while, thinking it was strange to take a hamster there!Of course, the other animals were not much better, so I couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yan is not allowed to leave Wanqing's pawn shop physically, so what form should he appear in so that it won't be too weird?"

Yan Mo: "..."

"The separated soul can possess any living thing, including human beings of course. I just don't want to occupy the human body for some personal reasons." He kicked his little paw unhappily, seeing that Qi Jingyu still had no intention of letting go, so he gave Li Huan a gloomy look, and continued to be a bullied hamster.

Qi Jingyu felt inexplicably relaxed when he saw someone's gloomy face. He held the hamster in his palm and scratched its back with his index finger.Master Mo Luo narrowed his eyes comfortably, and the whole mouse was spread limply in Jing Yu's palm, slowly turning into a mouse cake.

Just in case, Xing Yi started the Land Rover and drove back to the tea house on the other side until the last demon left the Zisha Yayuan tea house, the office building on the opposite side was silent, and the eastern morning dawned.
