Chapter 294 I Want to Give You the Card
There was silence for a moment.
Chris suddenly looked up at Jian Yue as if he was a little surprised, and Jian Yue met his gaze.
Chris, who was sitting on the sofa, became very excited after hearing these words. He stood up suddenly and looked at Jian Yue, his breath was heavy, as if he was coming towards him.
"You..." Chris stood up and looked at Jian Yue angrily. He was so angry that his voice trembled: "You..."
The momentum was so strong that it seemed like it would rush over in the next second.
Jian Yue felt a little nervous.
Chris said angrily: "How dare you do this!"
Jian Yue was stunned and said, "What's wrong with me..."
"Damn it, your life is mine!" Chris rushed over, the young man's arrogance seemed to burst out instantly. He walked in front of Jian Yue and said like a small firecracker about to burst out: "I don't allow you to make decisions on your own!"
Chris saw that Jian Yue was still in a daze. He held Jian Yue's shoulders. His red eyes were full of sadness. He said, "Listen, your life is very important to me. I can't imagine how I will get through the days without you. My mother and father told me, listen, Chris, you will be the future king of this country. This will be the meaning of your life. All these years, I have been living for this, but until I met you, I realized that there would be someone in this world who treats me so well, and it's all for me. This is the first time I have been so happy. Only when I am with you am I truly happy. I beg you not to leave me..."
Jian Yue looked at his dark red eyes, which were the symbol of the devil, and the badge on his shoulder was the symbol of royalty.
"But Your Highness." Jian Yue said, "You are destined to inherit the throne in the future. If you are with me, I will only become your weakness and make you criticized by others."
Chris said without thinking: "I don't need this throne."
Jian Yue shook his head gently and said, "Your Highness, I don't want you to give up anything for me. I love you, so I hope to get the best for you. Please believe me, okay?"
Chris said, "To me, you are the best."
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chris, then smiled gently and said, "This is the first time in my life that someone has said something like this to me. I am already very satisfied."
Chris held his hand. He faced the man in front of him. The panic in his heart spread like running water. He kissed Jian Yue's face. It was a very cautious and pious kiss. He held his hand. He pondered for a moment and finally said slowly: "Believe me, I will handle these things. Anthony is my father's man. They have done a lot of dirty things in this town over the years. I have almost collected the evidence about these. I will return to the royal city to report in a decisive day. I will come back with soldiers and horses to completely clean up this place. When things are over, I will take you away."
Jian Yue glanced at the panel.
The system panel displays the latest task panel.
"Main story progress 81%. Current main story mission: Finding out the truth about the demon disease has been completed, but breaking the curse of the demon disease has not yet been completed."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Okay."
The mission of this copy is almost coming to an end. What he has to do is to try his best to find out more truth and find a way to break the curse.
"That key..." Jian Yue said, "I'm not sure what it does. I gave it to Lida."
Chris thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to let her find it, but that woman is not as simple as she looks. You can't trust her completely."
Jian Yue didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince seemed to be indifferent to everything, but in fact, he knew everything about everyone. Jian Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know."
Chris said: "It's a mess outside right now, just stay by my side and don't leave me, I will protect you."
Jian Yue thought to himself that he did want to, but this was a horror copy, and when there was a mission to do, he couldn't just hide away if he wanted to.
really.
In the afternoon, near dusk.
When Jian Yue came out of the kitchen, he saw Lida standing in the stairwell. Lida was wearing a white dress, which made her look very pale. However, she had put on brightly colored lipstick and looked at him with her dark eyes.
"Good day, Miss." Jian Yue saluted her: "Do you need any help?"
Lida said slowly: "I have something to talk to you about."
You can see it.
Jian Yue thought to himself, and he said, "Just tell me."
There were not many people here, perhaps because they had all left after Lida left. It was very quiet, and when the afterglow of dusk shone in, the whole house looked very dim.
Lida said slowly: "I already know everything."
Jian Yue looked at her in surprise, but he didn't know what Lida knew or how much she knew, so he could only pretend to be calm and said, "You already know?"
Lida looked at the mountain not far away. The dusk dyed the whole sky red. She said, "In this small town, I can't see anything clearly at night. Every night when I fall asleep, I have no memory of the next day. I never felt that there was anything wrong. I thought everyone was like this. Now I know that it's only us who are like this."
Next to the stairs is a door that leads directly to the balcony in the back garden.
Lida walked over slowly, the afterglow of the setting sun falling on her. She said, "I was in my father's study and saw the letters he left behind with the bishop. It turns out that all of us are demons. I have always been very lucky that I have never had a demonic disease. It was just that my father used human blood to control the demonic nature in me. For so long, the blood bird's nest porridge I drank every night was human blood porridge."
Jian Yue was silent. In fact, he had already discovered that there was a smell of blood on Lida's body, and her whole body was full of yin energy. It was just because most people in this manor were like this, so he didn't say anything.
"I saw the letter in his study." Lida said, "The reason why he didn't let me get the demon disease was that he wanted me to marry the prince. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the prince didn't like me at all. He liked someone else."
Jian Yue was slightly stunned.
Under the dim dusk line, Lida glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why, you are surprised to know that?"
Jian Yue shook his head and said, "No."
He knew that Chris was right, this was a very smart girl.
"You disguised yourself very well, and so did he, but the way he looked at you was too passionate, and he kept looking at you." Lida said, "At the ball, I invited him to dance, but he said he had someone in his heart, so he couldn't accept my first dance. He didn't say who he loved, but when he was injured, you rushed to protect him, but he hugged you under his body. A prince, such a noble status, but he protected a servant. Tell me, why did he do that!"
Jian Yue looked at Lida's angry eyes and was silent for a moment. He said, "Sorry."
"You don't have to apologize to me. I didn't love him in the first place. If it weren't for his identity, I wouldn't have liked a man with a weird temper!" Lida didn't even bother to act. She said, "You're the only one who treats him like a treasure."
Jian Yue was embarrassed to say it, but in fact, Chris was usually very stable when facing him, and it was not that he treated Chris as a treasure, but that Chris also treated him as a treasure.
Lida snorted and said, "I came to you to tell you that this town may be doomed."
Jian Yue looked up at her in surprise.
"The bishop once wrote a letter to my father." Lida said, "When the Demon King Zillia was sealed and fell, she made two curses. The first curse was given to the king's descendants. She cursed that the king's descendants would fall in love with the devil and give birth to a devil's child. The second curse was that the demon stone underground in the town would erupt on the last full moon night of autumn in a hundred years. She cursed that all the king's people would die, and the devils would rule the world."
Jian Yue was stunned. He calculated that according to the time, winter was about to come, so the last full moon night of autumn would be this month!
Now it’s only a few days away from the full moon night!
The system panel is refreshed:
"Trigger the main quest: [Remove the curse of the devil's source]
Mission details: Keep everyone alive!
Mission Reward: Draw a card from the card pool again."
Jian Yue: “…”
He widened his eyes slightly.
You know, he remembered that the reward for this copy seemed to be a random card, but now it seems that it has become a card that can be drawn from the card pool again. Has the mission reward been upgraded?
The audience in the live broadcast room were also somewhat surprised and discussed:
"What the hell?"
"The difficulty of this dungeon has been adjusted!"
"The difficulty has been raised."
"No wonder the rewards have increased, because no one has reached this plot point before, right?"
"Ordinary taskers simply cannot obtain these key clues. Even if they get the key, they can't do anything about it."
Jian Yue calmed down a little and said, "Since you demons are going to dominate the world, shouldn't you be very happy?"
Xi Ling
Lida said: "The great wizard who conquered the demon at that time had already made a solution. He put a curse on the demon stone, so that the sunflowers would absorb the magic power of the stone all the time. So when the full moon comes, the demon stone will shatter, and all the demons will lose their source of energy and die."
Jian Yue was shocked.
"Father will die, and I will die too." Lida smiled and said, "All the demons, everyone in this town, will die."
Jian Yue was silent. In the nightmare world, every world has a nightmare. Only by breaking the nightmare and giving the people in this copy hope for a new life, the passage to leave the copy will be completely opened.
A long time ago, Jian Yue had been wondering who the owner of this nightmare was.
At that time, he thought that maybe it was these outsiders, the outsiders who had been hunted by the demons and had always been cannon fodder. But at this moment, Jian Yue suddenly didn't think so. Maybe he had been wrong all along.
Lida said: "I tell you this because I want to tell you that you can leave this town as soon as possible. Otherwise, when that day comes, who knows if you will die here too?"
Jian Yue was also very calm: "Why do you want to help me?"
Lida smiled. She was still the somewhat savage and cruel lady. She said, "Because I want to torture you. You should know that the current queen is my aunt. She is also a demon. The child she gave birth to is also a demon. Your Highness the Prince and the Princess will both die. You and Your Highness the Prince love each other, don't you? Since you have made me lose face, I think it's not bad for you to be separated by life and death."
Jian Yue choked up and slowly complained: "Then you are really boring."
Lida's smile froze: "What?"
Jian Yue said: "I mean, thank you very much for telling me."
Lida: “…”
Why do I always feel like there’s nothing good to say?
Jian Yue was more likely to get the key. He said, "Do you still have the key? Is this the key to find the Devil's Stone? I want to take a look."
Lida looked at Jian Yue for a while with a look that said "Are you crazy?" and then said, "Why are you going there? What can you do as a human being? You can't do anything!"
Jian Yue said: "I have to give it a try."
Lida said sarcastically, "You for the prince?"
Jian Yue said nothing.
He did it for the mission and for his lover.
Lida said unhappily, "The bishop is dead. No one is irrigating the demon stone with sunflower nectar every day. The power of the demon stone will be stronger. The weather has been good recently. If the moon is full, the demon power of the whole town will be strong. Many demons will show their true colors. If you see Chris's demon form, you will not love him who is so ugly!"
Jian Yue said: "I like him, it has nothing to do with what he looks like."
"That's easy to say!" Lida didn't believe it. She threw something and said, "I'll give it to you, but even if I give it to you, you don't know where the passage to the demon stone is, so it's useless to give it to you!"
The key returned to Jian Yue's hands.
Jian Yue said: "Thank you."
It was almost dark at this moment.
Jian Yue took the key and walked back. Lida, who was not far away, was still looking at him. From a distance, when he walked away and looked back, Lida's body seemed to have become a white shadow, not clear.
Coming down from upstairs, Jian Yue met Ji Xingle.
Ji Xingle said: "Have you finished talking?"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yeah."
"I heard it." Ji Xingle said.
Jian Yue said: "What are you going to do?"
Ji Xingle said, "I can't think of a good way, but we must save them. Martha and the others are also demons, but I don't think they did anything wrong. They were living well in the town, and it was the humans outside who came to disturb them. Now they have to die because of the wizard's fault. I don't think it's fair at all."
Jian Yue said: "We need to find the entrance to where the Demon Stone is. If we can remove the wizard's seal, everything will be saved."
Ji Xingle asked, "Do you have any idea?"
"Remember the old man in the flower garden?" Jian Yue said, "The Duke once said that he was a wizard's apprentice. Maybe he knows what to do."
Ji Xingle was happy: "Then we'll go look for it tomorrow!"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "I'm going back to Wang Jue, you can go back to the dormitory first."
Ji Xingle responded. He stood downstairs and began to cough uncontrollably again. He was getting thinner and thinner, and his face turned pale from coughing. Jian Yue had studied some medicine before, and he knew that Ji Xingle's body would not last long. This was a symptom of a dying person.
He glanced at Chiaya not far away.
Qiyaya looked at Ji Xingle with a worried look. Jian Yue finally said to Ji Xingle, "You should pay more attention to your health."
Ji Xingle seemed a little confused as to why Jian Yue suddenly spoke to him like this, but after realizing what was going on, he smiled and said, "Okay, I got it!"
Jian Yue then turned and left. This was all he could say. Everyone had their own business and he couldn't interfere too much. He had already done the most he could by saying this.
When going upstairs, Jian Yue thought a lot. Does Chris know the secret of the Devil's Stone? What would Chris's reaction be if he knew that he might really be the son of the devil?
But when I really walked to that door.
The blond butler said to him, "His Royal Highness the Duke has invited us to the reception room to discuss matters. He said that the Queen has sent a letter about the princess, and it may take a long time to discuss. Before leaving, His Royal Highness Chris told me that if you come, you should go back and rest tonight, and you don't have to accompany him for dinner."
Jian Yue reacted and said, "Oh, okay."
Maybe it was just a coincidence, which actually gave him time to think.
When he returned from the corridor and almost reached the dormitory, most people inside were asleep, so Jian Yue took out the Devil's Notes from his pocket and turned on a small light in the room to read it.
Someone came over and whispered, "You're back?"
Jian Yue was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the guy with a crew cut.
The guy with the buzz cut said, "I haven't seen you back these past two days."
Jian Yue said: "Well, I have something to do outside."
After saving the buzz cut guy's life two days ago, the buzz cut guy became a little more enthusiastic towards Jian Yue.
The guy with the buzz cut said, "Ms. Lida has let us go. We have to find a way to steal the key back. I've read the walkthrough and the door that the key opens is where we leave this instance. As long as we find the right place, we'll be fine."
Jian Yue said: "What about the mission?"
The guy with the buzz cut said unhappily, "Why do you care so much? Isn't it better to get out alive?"
Jian Yue didn't say anything. He was destined not to be the same kind of person as the guy with the buzz cut.
"Let's talk about it next time." Jian Yue said.
Seeing his attitude, the guy with the crew cut didn't ask any more questions. When he went back to sleep, Ji Xingle poked his head out from the bed. The two of them had Chiaya's spatial ability, so they could talk without being heard.
Ji Xingle whispered, "Don't pay attention to him. He has been injured these days and is very irritable. He always suspects that someone wants to kill him."
Jian Yue thought there was no need to doubt it, as he was almost killed.
However, what the crew cut guy said made Jian Yue think. No matter what was behind the key when the door was opened, he had to go and see first. But if he wanted to find the key, apart from the Duke's, the only place that would be easy to find was the old man in the flower garden.
The old man is very agile during the day, but he is a wizard's disciple and someone who helps the wizard do evil, so he is most likely a human being. At night, the old man should be very weak, just the opposite of a devil, so it is best to look for him at night.
Jian Yue suddenly sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked outside.
Ji Xingle asked, "Where are you going?"
Jian Yue said: "I'm going to the flower garden to find that old man."
Ji Xingle thought Jian Yue might be crazy. Jian Yue told Ji Xingle his thoughts and said, "The day is very close. If we can't find the entrance as soon as possible, we will be in a passive position. Don't believe everything the buzz cut guy says. We don't have much time left."
"I'll go with you." Ji Xingle immediately turned over and got out of bed.
Chiaya wasn't around at the moment, and he started coughing again.
Jian Yue stopped him and said, "Your health is so poor, don't go."
Ji Xingle shook his head. Because the room was full of boys, Ji Xingle would not summon Qiyaya at night when resting. Qiyaya was also dormant at this time, so he could talk to Jian Yue without worry.
After the two people left the room.
There was silence and no one around Ma Peng.
Ji Xingle looked at Jian Yue and said, "The reason I want to go is that I hope that while I still have the ability, I can help you as much as I can."
Jian Yue really felt very strange. Ever since he entered the dungeon, Ji Xingle had been actively helping him. If he had helped without asking for anything in return before, then it was rare for him to be so stubborn even though his body was in this condition.
"Why are you helping me like this?" Jian Yue said, "Don't say that you think I'm a veteran player and I'm reliable. I want to hear the truth."
He looked at Ji Xingle seriously, frowning slightly.
Ji Xingle was being looked at like this by him, Jian Yue's eyes were very calm, with a clarity and tranquility in them that seemed to be able to see through everything. But even when being looked at like this, it seemed as if no one could lie or escape his gaze.
The wind blew over from near Ma Peng, bringing with it the coolness of the night.
In the dark night, some black birds flew over the woods not far away, bringing some eerie loneliness and coldness to the night. The fog around began to spread again unknowingly.
Jian Yue said: "If you don't tell me the truth, I won't agree to let you go with me."
After Ji Xingle met his gaze, he finally sighed softly, perhaps because he knew he could no longer hide it, or perhaps because he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
"My body can't hold on any longer." Ji Xingle finally said softly, "I entered the dungeon because I was terminally ill in the real world. I relied on the dungeon to increase my lifespan, but I'm not smart, nor am I very strong. It takes a lot of effort to pass the dungeon every time. In order to keep me alive, Qiyaya kept blocking damage for me, even ignoring the number of cards and forcibly helping me. She was getting weaker and weaker."
Ji Xingle chuckled and said, "The consequence of doing this is that she was originally a gold card, but now she has been forcibly downgraded by the system. She is also getting weaker and weaker. I feel very sad that I have implicated her, so I don't want to do this anymore. I want to find her a good owner. I can see that you are very good, and I know that you will definitely find a way to get the props to upgrade the card in the future. She can regain the ability of a gold card and will definitely be able to exert greater power."
"I want to give Qiyaya to you." Ji Xingle looked at Jian Yue and said, "As long as you promise to treat her well, let alone something as dangerous as going to the flower garden, I would be willing to die now."
