Welcome to the lock demon tower

Half of Jiang Luchi's profile was in the shadows, Qiao Que felt that he seemed to be caught in some memory, opened his mouth, thought for a while, and sat obediently by the side without speaking.

Before the atmosphere had completely cooled down, a man's scream suddenly broke the silence of the night.

Qiao Que was startled by the shrill cry, and stood up almost instinctively.

Zhao Kexin has quickly stepped to the window and looked out.

In the open space outside the house, just below Qiao Que and the others, a man was lying on his back on the ground, clutching his legs and crawling forward, howling and struggling.

It was too dark to see what injuries he had suffered, but there was a long bloodstain where he crawled.

His eyes were so frightened that he collapsed, and his cry broke into sobs because of the pain and helplessness.

Not far from him, the woman in black stood silently.

It seems that he ventured out of the villa for a mission, but was caught by a woman in a bad mood.

The distance was too far, and it was too late to save him.

Qiao Que remembered that this man's surname was Nong, because the surname was relatively rare, and he made a few jokes when introducing himself, calling himself an old farmer, and he was a man with a more outgoing personality.

He should have two teammates who have a good relationship. He didn't know where he went at this time, and the doors and windows of several rooms were closed.

It was still dark outside, and the expression of the woman in black could not be seen clearly, but for some reason, Qiao Que always felt that she was sneering arrogantly.

Qiao Que's fingers slowly grasped the window frame, staring at the situation below without moving.

Jiang Luchi looked out with heavy eyes, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I thought you would really want to save him."

Qiao Que took a breath, and shook his head dejectedly after a while, with a dejected look on his face: "I think. But I can't beat that woman at all. I can't do anything except die. Brother Chi, I'm too weak, and I'm not Noble, unwilling to take such risks for strangers."

While speaking, the woman had already rushed forward and grabbed the man's neck.

The man began to roll his eyes, and kicked his feet helplessly.

There was still no sound around, and no one even opened the windows.

The man's wailing and cries for help gradually faded away.

Qiao Que clenched and loosened his fists, gritted his teeth, as if he had figured out something, and finally moved.

He emboldened himself aggressively, and opened the window with a "snap".

Then, with a quick wave of his right hand out of thin air, a stream of light quickly fell to the ground, spreading into a ball of dazzling light, in the dark night, like the sun suddenly descending.

After the light cluster dissipated, a ferocious roaring beast appeared on the spot.

...about 80 cm tall.

438: ...

Zhao Kexin withdrew her hands that she was planning to applaud enthusiastically, and cast a suspicious look: "This...what?...Rogue rabbit?"

438 has question marks all over his head: "Did you make your own childhood photos into a holographic apparition?"

Qiao Que was almost blown away by them: "Obviously it's a Tyrannosaurus rex! Look at its teeth! Those claws! Don't they look like it?! It's so alive!"

438:......

...Why are you using Tyrannosaurus rex to frighten abnormal life forms?

However, regardless of the species of this beast, it obviously had an effect. The woman in black stopped what she was doing, and stared vigilantly at the strange creature that appeared out of thin air.

Qiao Que couldn't care less about anything else, leaning on the window sill and shouting, "Run! Go back to your room!"

As soon as the words fell, the mini Tyrannosaurus rex bravely rushed forward waving its short hands, and its colorful head slammed into the chest of the woman in black.

The man exploded with unimaginable mobility at the moment of life and death, his injured leg also exerted strength, he hurriedly ran out a few meters, and crawled towards the main entrance of the villa.

The woman in black was caught off guard and ignored her prey. She jumped back into the air and raised her arms to block the attack.

Unexpectedly, the moment the tyrannosaurus rex was about to touch her, the whole deformation suddenly collapsed and shattered into golden crumbs, like fireworks spread all over the floor, which disappeared in an instant.

It's time for apparition.

Sweat dripped from Qiao Que's forehead, his elbows rested on the window sill, his headache was splitting, he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

This is already the longest time limit he can maintain the phantom spirit.

The woman in black was only stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that she had been deceived. She looked very angry, and kicked hard at the place where the phantom spirit disappeared, and let out that beast-like growl again.

Then, he immediately turned around and chased in the direction of the villa.

The man dragged his injured leg and ran back desperately, stretching out his hand to push the door of the villa.

However, as soon as he touched the cold copper handle, he felt his whole body sinking down.

Then, he saw his stomach, then his feet, spinning around, and then the unbearable sharp tearing pain.

Finally, all light is gone.

The woman in black held the man's head that had just been unscrewed in her hand, and weighed it lightly and delicately, as if weighing a satisfactory cabbage in the vegetable market.

Then her gaze pierced through the darkness like a sharp bloodthirsty blade, and shot straight at Qiao Que standing by the window on the second floor...

The corner of his mouth curled into a happy, victorious smile.

Qiao Que still maintained the posture of propping himself on the windowsill in a daze, and met her eyes.

Then slowly, slowly, it slumped down along the window sill.

Soon I was trembling all over, and tears were streaming down my face.

Zhao Kexin quickly closed the window and drew the curtains with a "swipe".

The last scene she saw was the woman holding the man's head in one hand and the man's leg in the other, dragging the body into the villa in a good mood.

It's like dragging a pig that has just been slaughtered.

Zhao Kexin's throat was dry, and he didn't want Qiao Que to see this, so he murmured: "Qiao Que, you..."

"I know." Qiao Que wiped away tears, squatted on the ground and said sullenly, "It's not my fault. I'm just too weak."

He stared at a dirty spot on the ground, and was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked quietly: "Tuo Tuo, what are we to the Demon Locking Tower?"

Zhao Kexin thought for a moment that he was talking to herself: "What?"

438 was uncharacteristically silent.

Qiao Que insisted: "I know you are here, answer me, what are we?"

438 paused for a long time before making a sound: "What..."

Qiao Que pursed his lips, and said softly: "You said that because the Demon Locking Tower needs a lot of spiritual support, so we selected 'volunteers'. Our task is to purify and consume the resentment of abnormal life forms. If so, why? Don't you provide us with training and guidance from the beginning, amplify everyone's abilities, find the most suitable team, understand the background of this world, and go straight to the boss to maximize the benefits?"

438 was speechless.

Qiao Que shook his head: "It doesn't make sense. As the difficulty increases, the probability of death and injury of volunteers will also increase. Although they will not really die in this world, and the follow-up rescue treatment will also be borne by the state, but the pain of death will be truly experienced. Again. The only explanation can only be that if the ghosts in the Demon Locking Tower are wild beasts captured and locked up, we just want to let them consume their excess energy and throw them into the living things in the cage for them to catch and play, so as not to They break barriers and hurt ordinary people, right?"

The more 438 listened, the more startled he became: "It's not like that, Qiao Que."

Qiao Que lowered his head, with a sad expression on his face: "What is the truth?"

He was talking to the system in his head, but he spoke clearly, which made him seem to be talking to himself constantly, which was weird.

"It's selection."

Jiang Luchi, who had been leaning against the other side of the window silently since just now, spoke.

His expression looked a little tired, but his eyes were still as indifferent as ice, looking into Qiao Que's eyes through a window.

"Not everyone can control themselves. Whether it's spiritual power, or something else, especially after they have easily obtained unimaginable power for ordinary people."

Qiao Que looked up into his eyes with a confused expression, like a helpless little abandoned animal.

Jiang Luchi's expression remained unchanged, but he slightly staggered his gaze: "I know this is cruel, but this is selection. The high-levels of the Demon Locking Tower need suitable people to break through. This sounds unfair, but since awakening From the moment we have the ability, those of us are doomed to not be able to enjoy a fair and ordinary life. Someone has to do these things.”

Qiao Que lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said softly: "I understand."

Then he forced a smile: "Brother Chi, I believe in you."

438 has not spoken, he is a little guilty and suspicious: "You really want to understand?"

Qiao Que gave a heavy "hmm" and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Probably. Like... a superhero."

……

Early the next morning, Qiao Que fell asleep and woke up naturally.

He groped around the pillow for a long time, squinted his eyes and turned on the phone, and began to recite English words while he was half asleep and half awake.

Zhao Kexin, who was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror: ...it's too hard.

Turning around, Qiao Que saw Zhao Kexin covering the entire desktop with all kinds of cosmetics: ...it's too hard.

The teammates walked downstairs one after another. Everyone's expressions were not very good, they were ashamed and angry, and their eyes were a little dodgy.

The scene of the man surnamed Nong getting his head twisted off yesterday will probably be deeply remembered by everyone for a lifetime.

What is even more impressive is the black history of not daring to open the window.

Of course, everyone had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned this again.

Several teammates greeted Qiao Que sincerely, including a man and a woman—they were the two teammates of the old farmer, and they brought a piece of news that could be regarded as a clue.

They had seen a child in the garden last night.

Boys, striped blue and white tops and white shorts.

All the children are obediently sleeping in the room, and he is the only one, hiding in the garden, unwilling to show up, extremely mysterious, and may be the key person.

It was to find this child that they failed to rush back in time to save the old farmer.

Whether the reason for abandoning his teammates is real or not is now untestable.

Qiao Que was very concerned about the child they were talking about.

Zhao Kexin rubbed his chin: "There is such a child, I have the impression that he is very thin, with a pointed chin, and looks very cute."

Qiao Que nodded, and slowly, with difficulty, sat down tremblingly holding his neck.

Zhao Kexin: ...

"So you're going to... wear my photon beauty instrument all day? How do you want to eat? Take it off, be good."

...is really embarrassing.

And it's so heavy!

Qiao Que held his head in fear: "I don't! I think my head will be screwed off by that woman at any time!"

... You King Kong will not understand this kind of fear!

This is not a beauty instrument, in my heart, it is clearly Iron Man's indestructible helmet!

Full of security!

If possible, I must turn this helmet into a magic weapon of my life!Into the dantian, vowed not to separate!
