Chapter 059 Council

Rong Le didn't feel angry or annoyed. She lightly pulled the corner of her mouth and put on a fake yet sincere smile: "Senior, I'm not a cat."

He lowered his eyes and smiled, "This is the first time someone has said that. Keeping people as pets? Although I've never kept a cat, I know that keeping a pet is very draining. If a small animal doesn't have an owner to accompany it, it might die of loneliness."

"Since you said you would support me... then how are you going to support me?"

When being stared at by those beautiful green eyes, the twins felt as if they were his whole world, and for the first time, they felt an unprecedented heartbeat.

They understood each other without saying a word. Their hearts were beating wildly as they were fascinated by the cat with its shiny fur and majestic appearance.

Are they his masters? No, they are just servants who want to keep the cat!

They've had so many pets, but none as good as this!

He is so well-behaved, so obedient, and so cute!

They will definitely live happily together!

The twins immediately offered various conditions to please him: "We can provide you with the best accommodations, as well as nutritious and top-quality fresh ingredients."

"We will adorn your beauty with the most beautiful and gorgeous clothes and jewels!"

"We will always be with you, you can do whatever you want!"

The barrage of comments were also stunned at this time:

"In three sentences, I let this pervert make a declaration of support for me."

"How outrageous! Isn't this really raising our ancestors?"

"This is hilarious! What kind of natural fishing system is this? If I hadn't seen him kill monsters, I would have believed it."

However, Rong Le sighed: "It's totally not enough."

The twins were stunned. "What do you want?"

Rong Le asked as a matter of course: "Although what you said is all very good, it seems too fake to me. Before me, how many people have you two seniors said these things to?"

The twins didn't expect him to say that. They froze for a moment, their eyes wandering for a moment before they evaded the point: "We can give up all our previous pets and ensure that we only have you from now on."

Rong Le: "Really? It seems like the senior has a lot of pets. I'm just an ordinary one."

He glanced around and found that there was no one around. In this empty and secluded corner, there were only three of them standing here. No matter what happened, no one would know.

The cat, noticing their suspicion, became alert and tried to breathe at them. The twins tried to soften their voices: "We'll clean up the house when we get home. Is it just you?"

Rong Le: "I believe in you, senior. I hope you can understand my feelings. If I am kept, both parties must be wholeheartedly devoted to each other. We must be each other's only one."

The twins asked happily, "Can we keep you now?"

Rong Le: "No, I hate being raised by so many people. I only plan to listen to one person and become a pet that belongs to that person, so you still need to decide who will be my master."

This was a bolt from the blue. The twins said in disbelief, "Can't we raise you together?"

The boy's expression was filled with annoyance. Even with such a bad personality, he was still so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off him. "I hate wagging my tail at multiple people. And when I smile at another person, don't you get angry at each other?"

This problem is unprecedented. After all, their pets are always trembling in front of them. They look not good at all when they shiver and try hard to smile. They are totally different from the cats in front of them, so proud and beautiful that people can't help but want to get them.

They thought about this problem seriously.

If Rong Le only smiles at one person, only listens to him, only looks at the person he depends on with his beautiful cat eyes, and only acts coquettishly in the other person's arms, can they tolerate it?

...The answer is no.

As twins, they like the same things and hate the same things. Even though they often pretend to be brothers to tease others, it does not mean that they are willing to share everything with each other.

There are always some things that they want to belong only to themselves.

They are twins and they both have similar possessive tendencies.

They looked at their brothers who looked exactly like them, and smiled brightly at the same time.

…

Bai Lu watched Ming Cheng watching the young man walk away, with a subtle impatience between his eyebrows. He was obviously a little worried. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I really didn't expect it, Ming Cheng. Aren't you too obsessed?"

It's just a pretty toy, is it necessary to take it so seriously? He thought to himself.

Ming Cheng knew what he was thinking at a glance and warned him, "He's not a toy. Senior, please don't try to take advantage of him."

Bai Lu: "I'm not that bad. That's what you like, but I heard recently that the twins are very interested in him. They have no bottom line when they go crazy."

Ming Cheng frowned slightly, then relaxed and said, "It doesn't matter, he can handle it."

His attitude towards Rong Le was special and undisguised, and it was obvious that he trusted the boy very much.

Bai Lu recalled the look Ming Cheng gave Rong Le that he had accidentally caught earlier, and touched his chin with interest.

Although as a junior about to graduate, he should not interfere in the affairs of his junior classmates, but these young hunters chasing their prey did not seem to realize who the real prey in this game was.

But what does this have to do with him?

Bai Lu curled her lips slightly, and under Ming Cheng's inquiring gaze, she whispered seriously: "Little Ming Cheng, I came to talk to you about the position of president..."

Mingcheng looked a little stern. After confirming that there was no one around, the two of them conspired under the thick curtain.

They all rely on their families, so there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, and interests are everything.

Bai Lu was willing to come to him, obviously thinking that Ming Cheng had a great chance of winning. The process of getting to the top is nothing more than accompanied by the exclusion of dissidents and various transactions. Everyone has his own thoughts.

In the current situation, Mingcheng actually has the highest voice. Although he is young, his seat is not the last, and his ability to handle affairs is also reliable. Not to mention that this kind of thing depends entirely on the support of peers. The twins are too rebellious, and Eliza is just labeled with financial resources.

The competitors are too weak, so Mingcheng is the best candidate in all aspects.

Obviously, with Bai Lu's support, it would undoubtedly be a boost to Mingcheng.

…

Not long after the banquet started, Rong Qing was invited to the reception room to wait. Soon Yang Fan walked in and apologized to him in a kind manner for what had happened before. He reflected on his own reckless and careless judgment, which almost harmed innocent people.

Everyone knows the truth of the matter, and it's just a matter of giving each other a way out. Since Rong Qing came, it proves that he also has his own purpose.

Just like what he said to Rong Le, he wanted to change Qiu Hai.

However, the Council of Advocates controls everything in Qiuhai, and Rongqing cannot easily replace it. If he wants to achieve the goal of reform, he must devour everyone bit by bit.

Rong Qing complied with Yang Fan's solicitation, and he agreed to his request.

Yang Fan will confirm Rong Qing Shenshe's identity, which means that he is also qualified to run for the position of president.

Yang Fan smiled with an ambiguous tone and said, "Rong Qing, you should know what this means. Do you really want to do this?"

After today, everyone will know that Rong Qing's status has changed. Yang Fan raised Rong Qing's status in public, and this move means that he will become a target for other candidates.

Rong Qing's existence and experience will definitely touch the sensitive nerves of other candidates.

Rong Qing said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I will be the final winner."

He will take advantage of the opportunity to join the student union to gain higher prestige and prepare for subsequent reforms.

Yang Fan: "Then it's as you wish. I'm also curious about what kind of changes you will bring to Qiu Hai after you step down from the judgment seat?"

…

On the other side, Rong Le finally got rid of the twins.

These two immature little lunatics would kill each other if they were slightly provoked. Rong Le didn't need to pay any attention to such shallow guys, but they hurt Wang Qi and Chen Sisi, so he didn't mind making them pay the price.

Rong Le lowered her eyes slightly, her fingers casually adjusting the jeweled bow tie at her collar. Her long eyelashes cast a deep shadow as she walked slowly in the corridor.

In this empty game of thrones, he could even smell the coming cold and decaying atmosphere.

Compared to what he had been through, what the council members were chasing was laughably shallow.

Treating their own territory as a playground, wantonly abusing students for fun, and squandering the originally precious resources is an idea so low-level that it is laughable.

And it is in this very campus that there exist mystical objects that have attracted the attention of the whole world.

Rong Le narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking of the tall statue. The strange power emanating from the statue was so powerful that it was frightening. It was this statue that polluted the creatures here, causing everyone's consciousness and behavior to be madly distorted, forming the current sigh-worthy appearance.

He's been dragging his feet on this mod for long enough, and while there are still some mysteries to be solved, that doesn't hinder the plan.

As Rong Le passed by the auditorium, she heard Yang Fan's voice speaking from below: "Rong Qing is hereby granted the right to become a member of the Council, tentatively appointed the sixth seat. I hope he can contribute to the development of Qiuhai..."

Rong Qing's purpose was just as he said. He would join the Council of Advocates and gradually erode the entire Qiuhai.

At this point no one knew what kind of monster they had created.

The gods could not bear to see innocent people being oppressed and bullied, so they created ghosts to forcibly change order into equality.

Rong Le listened quietly to Yang Fan's words. Being on the second floor, he could easily see the positions of everyone below. Yang Fan's remarks elevated Rong Qing's status, which inevitably aroused people's imagination at this critical juncture.

Not to mention Rong Qing's inestimable influence among the student group at this time. Rong Le had already seen Ming Cheng's face change slightly.

He should be alert because Rong Qing will be his most formidable opponent.

Guessing that the speeches were about to end, Rong Le turned and went downstairs, intending to follow Yang Fan to find Rong Qing.

Yang Fan knew that many people would gather around him, so after the meeting he hurried to the back, leaving everyone behind.

Ming Cheng wanted to go over and ask for clarification, but was separated by the dense crowd. He tutted in annoyance and suddenly remembered something: "Why hasn't Rong Le come back yet?"

Could it be that he is being entangled by Xinuo and Xiyan?

Because he didn't see the twins, Mingcheng stopped, thought for a moment, and then turned around to look for him.

After all, I brought it here myself, so of course I have to bring it back intact.

…

Rong Le followed behind Yang Fan. The lurking skill of his character card was a bit low. KP said that Yang Fan had a strong intuition, so if he wanted to track him, he had to roll the dice and also rely on luck.

Rong Le: ...pass, pass, pass.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to pass the exam and he managed to hold on.

Rong Le was not discovered along the way. She followed Yang Fan into a corridor, and suddenly he stopped in front of her.

He reacted very quickly and hid at the corner of the stairs.

Yang Fan: "Who is it?"

Rong Le didn't move until she heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Then Yang Fan asked in surprise, "Rong Qing, why are you here?"

Rong Qing stood in the dim corridor without saying a word, and Yang Fan immediately realized that the atmosphere was a little dangerous.

"I've already fulfilled our deal, you... ugh!"

Yang Fan groaned.

Rong Le opened her eyes slightly, and the sound of sharp teeth sinking into flesh seemed to ring in her ears, clear and creepy.

Yang Fan didn't make any more sound.

When something unexpected happened, Rong Le remained motionless, reducing her presence to the minimum, and even her breathing almost disappeared.

——Rong Qing is infecting Yang Fan!

Rong Le listened to the noise in the corridor, her brain racing, thinking about how to leave the scene perfectly.

He didn't know how much time had passed. He was short of oxygen and subconsciously breathed a little heavier. Although it was just a slight change, it still caught Rong Qing's attention.

Rong Qing's cold voice rang out: "Who?"

After a long time, the sound of fabric rubbing against each other could be heard.

Rong Qing walked towards this side slowly. Rong Le had no doubt that in order to keep the secret, he would turn the witnesses into ghosts.

Rong Qing's footsteps were getting closer.

His eyes swept across the stairs behind him. Just as he was considering whether to expose his whereabouts and turn around and run away, or pretend to know nothing, another voice suddenly rang out: "Rong Qing? President?"

Walking around from the other side of the Mingcheng corridor, he couldn't help but frown when he saw Yang Fan standing there with his head down and Rong Qing looking for something beside him.

"What are you doing here?"

Mingcheng's timely appearance attracted Rongqing's attention, and Rongle quickly retreated to a more hidden position the moment he appeared.

Rong Qing stood there, paused, and turned around.

Mingcheng looked at the two of them suspiciously. Yang Fan looked normal. He stood there with his head slightly lowered. His hair covered most of his face, and he looked eerily calm.

But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with him.

Why... do I feel that Yang Fan has become a little strange?

Yang Fan: "What's the matter, Mingcheng? Like you, Rongqing and I just met by chance."

Mingcheng glanced at Rongqing hesitantly and said, "Sorry, I just noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange."

Yang Fan nodded slightly, said goodbye briefly, and left without any abnormality.

Although Ming Cheng was suspicious, he couldn't call Yang Fan directly. His eyes fell on Rong Qing, and his tone was filled with impatience: "I didn't expect you to be so popular today. Are you going to run for the position of president next, Rong Qing?"

Rong Le: “.”

These are the lines of a true villain, Mingcheng.

Ming Cheng warned him indifferently, "I don't care what you want to do, but don't get in my way, or I'll have countless ways to make sure you can't survive in Qiuhai."

"Even if you are Rong Le's brother, stay away from him. Don't be as disgusting as a stinky rat in the gutter."

Seeing Rong Qing standing there with no reaction, he snorted as if he was glancing at some garbage and walked away.

What Mingcheng didn't know was that Rongqing's eyes were emitting a scarlet light, and she was staring at his back quietly.

Rong Le had already left quietly, and a plan took shape in his mind.

…

"What did you say?" Ming Cheng looked at Rong Le in shock.

Rong Le raised her face, and even when she said this, she still looked like an innocent and well-behaved student: "I saw it in the corridor that day. Rong Qing infected Yang Fan and turned him into another creature."

Rong Le: "Actually, I felt something was wrong after that trial. I felt like my brother had become a different person. Although he was still himself, he was like a stranger with Rong Qing's memories."

"So I feel like... there's another monster living inside him."

"You mean, the current Rong Qing is a monster that came down from the judgment seat, and this monster is contagious and has already infected Yang Fan?"

Mingcheng couldn't help but raise his voice.

They were discussing in an empty classroom during break time. At first, Ming Cheng didn't know why Rong Le pulled him over. Now, after realizing what Rong Le said, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"I saw it. The president has turned into a ghost."

Rong Le said calmly: "That monster is the real ghost."

Ming Cheng shuddered and tried to calm himself down: "I'm sorry, I can't just believe what you said."

Rong Le: "It's okay, I don't know if the president is in danger, but logically speaking, people infected by ghosts can also infect others. You have to be careful of the president."

After Mingcheng learned about this, he hurriedly left the classroom. Rong Le looked at his figure and knew that he was going to observe the changes in Yang Fan.

Mingcheng is a smart man. As long as he disguises himself in advance, it will not be difficult to find Yang Fan's flaws without leaving any trace.

When Mingcheng learns the truth, he will immediately rebel before Rongqing's power is formed, and only then will he have the opportunity to enter.

As for whether Mingcheng would doubt his purpose?

He just found that his close brother suddenly became a stranger, and accidentally witnessed him infecting Yang Fan. He was Mingcheng's follower, so naturally he had to tell Mingcheng everything.

As for whether Mingcheng will choose to win over people to rebel, and whether he will succeed... that is his business.

…

Mingcheng walked slowly in the corridor.

The truth was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Although he didn't think Rong Le would lie to him, it was hard to accept such a thing, so he chose to observe and verify it with his own eyes.

However, the scary thing is that what Rong Le said was true.

A monster really appeared in the school, and corrupted Yang Fan under their noses without anyone noticing. The president who turned into a ghost was no longer the president they were familiar with.

Mingcheng clearly realized that it was another species standing on the opposite side of them.

A monster that inherited all the memories of the original owner, was good at disguise, and was extremely harmful and contagious... It was a disaster for Qiu Hai.

He couldn't imagine how terrible the consequences would be if he allowed the situation to develop.

Mingcheng contacted others immediately, and after confirming that the other members of the council were still safe, he told them the truth.

After everyone secretly confirmed and discussed through various means, they unanimously decided to remove Yang Fan from the position of president early.

Mingcheng was on his way to meet up with the others.

When they arrived at the meeting place, Mingcheng opened the door absentmindedly while thinking about Yang Fan.

"Ugh...ah!" A scream of pain came from inside the house.

Ming Cheng frowned and looked over, and saw Bai Lu sitting slanted on the chair, with her legs naturally crossed. The hand that supported her head was holding a leather strap. The black leather strap was connected to the neck of the boy kneeling on the ground, forming a dog leash.

The boy was wearing a loose white shirt with the buttons unbuttoned, so you could vaguely see what was underneath. There were marks of whipping on his back, which was slightly bloody, giving it a sense of beauty that came from being tortured.

"Oh, here I come."

Bai Lu was not surprised that he saw this scene, and greeted him casually.

Mingcheng was silent for a moment, then walked in ignoring the scene.

He had always heard that Bai Lu had a special hobby and preferred young boys. Now that he saw that it was true, he couldn't tell who was worse between him and the twins.

"Is this the first time you've seen something like this?"

Bai Lu smiled, her attitude very relaxed. "You are young, and your uncle and aunt have taken good care of you, but you should always try things that can relax yourself, such as games that make you happy. Except for you, everyone else among us already has their own hobbies."

“…I’m not interested in these.”

Mingcheng prefers playing tennis.

He didn't mind these bad habits of his companions. After all, he had seen a lot of them since he was a child and had long since become indifferent to them. However, looking at the boy lying on the ground like a dog, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

I have to keep a closer eye on Rong Le in the future and don't let him get exposed to these things.

He thought to himself.

Fortunately, Rong Le was in Class A of the first year and was his. Although he was still young, the other members did not dare to openly reach out and provoke him.

This school is still too dangerous for him. After this matter is over, he must eliminate the unfavorable factors around Rong Le.

Mingcheng: "Speaking of which, where are Xinuo and Xiyan?"

Bai Lu nonchalantly placed his foot on the boy's shoulder, his posture remarkably relaxed. "I don't know why they disappeared after the banquet. I thought they were playing some twin game, but I heard they suddenly started killing each other. I don't know which one survived, and then was killed by a weak pet."

"What?" he was shocked.

Mingcheng didn't know how to comment for a moment.

However, no one has told him about this yet. Although the relationship between the members of the Council seems to be good, it is actually cold.

Bai Lu obviously didn't care about the death of the twins. Rather, the lack of a seat gave them more room to erode their interests.

The fact that the twins suddenly went crazy for unknown reasons and were killed by their pet in a wheelchair became so bizarre and absurd.

Mingcheng couldn't help but think of what Yang Fan said to him when he first entered Qiuhai:

"Mingcheng, welcome to join us. This school needs you. This is ours, and we will make it even more perfect."

Since it belongs to us, we should be responsible for everything in this school.

Mingcheng thinks so.

However, the other members' ideas were obviously different from his. Except for the president who was very reliable, the others were too casual and greedy.

Blindly absorbing sweet nutrients will only drain everything from this school.

Mingcheng has always had a firm belief, but now he can't help but doubt whether they are right or wrong.

Can Qiu Hai, which is controlled by the Council, really have a bright future?

The door opened again. Eliza's cheeks were red, as if she had been drinking. Her collar was a little messy, and she looked like she had hurried over. "I'm late."

"Let's go. Now that today's business is over, we can have a good rest, right, President?"

Bai Lu stood up from the chair and looked at Ming Cheng playfully.

Ming Cheng closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again: "Well, let's go."

Even if that's the case, it doesn't matter because he will bring a brand new change to Qiu Hai.

Then, they can be together forever in the new autumn sea.

…

Looking from the outside at the top floor of the library at night, you can see the lights inside through the top glass.

Yang Fan is humble and has excellent business skills. He handles Qiu Hai's affairs in an orderly manner and even often stays in the council office to work overtime.

He has two offices. One is the initial location when Rong Le loaded the module twice, the student union president's office. This office is only used by him to receive guests and take short rests.

He spent most of his time on the top floor of the library, which was the council's office.

Rong Le walked up to the door as if she knew the place well and knocked on it.

Yang Fan: "Come in."

He pushed open the door and saw that Yang Fan was not handling official business, but was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window with his back to him, quietly gazing at the autumn sea at night.

This is Rong Le's second time here.

Unlike the desolate and dilapidated appearance later, the top floor was now covered with a large area of ​​dark carpet, which was low-key and luxurious. The round table was still placed in the center, and a lot of documents were randomly placed at the front, which showed that it was often used.

The chairs are also high-backed chairs embroidered with delicate patterns and look soft and comfortable to sit on.

A gorgeous chandelier hangs above, providing sufficient and stable light for the entire top floor. Shelves and bouquets are placed on the surrounding walls, and velvet curtains are hung on the floor-to-ceiling windows, which look quiet and beautiful.

Yang Fan turned around and asked him with a smile: "Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"

Rong Le has Yang Fan's contact information, but has never contacted him. This time, she suddenly asks to meet him and says that she has something important to say.

He walked along without seeing any students. The entire library was open only to him.

It was obvious that Yang Fan could not resist the urge to hunt when he received his text message, and had bared his fangs, waiting for him to fall into his trap.

Rong Le: "Because the president has something I want, and only you can give it to me."

As a ghost transformed by Rong Qing himself, Yang Fan is undoubtedly a high-level ghost with pure bloodline.

It possesses extraordinary intelligence and powerful strength, as well as ambitions that should not be underestimated.

It is too powerful and is also eager to challenge the authority of the Ghost King.

For example, if a small animal stretches out its claws and tries to covet the other's territory, it will possess it, mark it with its own mark, and finally tear it apart cruelly.

Yang Fan knew that he was still useful to Rong Qing, so he could try to test his bottom line. Coincidentally, this young man who had interested him since his human days took the initiative to approach him.

He chuckled and held out his hand to Rong Le: "Come and get whatever you want. As long as you have the ability to get it, I can give it to you."

The long sword appeared in Rong Le's hand again. The sword was cold and gorgeous. Mortals would only marvel at its beauty and sharpness, while monsters would change their expressions as if they saw something terrifying.

Yang Fan stood up suddenly, his face no longer as calm as before, cold sweat dripping down his forehead: "What... is this?!"

The sword brought him great pressure, and he began to regret that he should not have driven everyone else away for the hunt.

The trap that was originally carefully prepared for Rong Le turned out to be his predicament.

Rong Le, holding a long sword, was like an elegant devil. At this moment, the status of hunter and prey was completely reversed. He walked slowly towards Yang Fan, and he couldn't control himself and staggered backward until he had no room to retreat.

Yang Fan: "What do you want?! I can give it to you!"

Rong Le: "Tell me where the statue is."

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Yang Fan's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing: "So your goal is this... You first rejected my invitation, and then chose to stay with Mingcheng. Everything you did was for the statue, and you also want to control Qiuhai!"

He was now full of confidence: "You can't kill me. I am the only one who knows the location of the statue. Without it, you can't get the power of God."

In his eyes, the power contained in the sword in Rong Le's hand was no less than that of the statue, and even higher.

Rong Le sighed and said, "I'm sorry, President, sometimes secrets don't need to be spoken out loud."

It was enough for him to induce him to recall the location of the statue at the critical moment of his life, and he would use his inspiration to check his memory for the rest.

Even if Yang Fan told him, he would not completely believe him, and in the end it would still be the same process.

Rong Le looked at Yang Fan's horrified expression and smiled, "Only your memory won't lie."

Bright red blood splattered on the dark carpet.

Yang Fan's expression gradually returned to calm. For some reason, he suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something, and slowly fell down with an expectant expression.

"I...will wait for you."

Yang Fan closed his eyes.

The sword in Rong Le's hand turned into a point of light and gradually disappeared. He leaned over and squatted in front of Yang Fan, touched his forehead with his fingers, and closed his eyes.

He quickly connected with Yang Fan's mind, as if watching a movie, and swept through the torrent of memories.

He watched Yang Fan from a first-person perspective as he sat in that position handling official business, with various documents quickly flipping past his eyes.

Caught.

At this moment, Rong Le finally caught the fragments of Yang Fan's memories.

Following Yang Fan's memory, he opened his eyes and stood up, his gaze falling on the table he had never noticed before.

Rong Le picked up Yang Fan's hand and used blood as the key to open it.

He murmured, "I understand..."

A miniature version of the deity rises from the center of the table.

"It's always been...always here."

The face of the deity is unclear, he is wearing a long robe, and his hands are raised to the sides, extending the two ends of the scales.

This is the module item, [Scales of Judgment].
