Chapter 46 Injured
Helekla took the internal structure diagram of the administration and explained to Duan Ke in detail the things that needed attention.
"Except for the core members, their combat effectiveness is average. But the Data Department is indeed quite difficult to deal with. There are surveillance cameras everywhere... Try to avoid the areas marked on the map."
Helekla raised her chin at the blueprint. "Yes, once a monster intrusion is detected, the central system will immediately block the database access. Even the Inquisitor can't open it. Ha...they can only do this kind of sneaking around. Even if they know my abilities well, they dare not confront me head-on."
Helekla's tone was as harsh as ever, but actually quite objective.
The humans in the Administration are all ordinary people, and logically they don’t have the capital to fight against top-level monsters.
No matter how advanced the technology or how strict the supervision, humans should be powerless to fight back in the face of absolute strength.
"Then how did they control the monsters for so many years?"
Duan Ke took a sip of peach soda, holding the straw in his mouth, and asked curiously, "I saw the Administration's special handcuffs last time. They are indeed very advanced technology... But technology can only be auxiliary, right? We still need humans to use them for us."
If you don’t have time to use your skills before you are wiped out by monsters, what’s the point of having such good skills?
"Depending on numbers, brainwashing, and human body modification."
Helekla had fought with military cadets before, and the memory was indeed unpleasant. Their pain nerves and self-awareness had almost been artificially removed, making it disgusting and troublesome to deal with them.
He looked at Duan Ke, who had an innocent face, and said casually, "Humanity has so many tricks... You don't know these? Oh, that's right. You just became an adult not long ago. You're still a child. You definitely don't know what happened before.
"It's better not to know about this kind of thing," Helekla said. "It's good to be happy. After all, you have someone to support you now, and you don't need to deal with the Administration."
"I'm so grown up..." Duan Ke bit the straw unhappily, "I've been an adult for a long time, you can't treat me like a child."
And he has a boyfriend, huh.
"Haven't you only reached adulthood a year or two?" Helekla wondered. "I'm thousands of years old and still think I'm a child. How can you be older than me?"
...It seemed to make sense, Duan Ke silently accepted this statement and did not refute it.
"By the way, Brother Hele... Ahem, Hele, I have something to ask you."
Duan Ke leaned towards Helekla and said in a low voice, "Do you know under what circumstances monsters lose their memory? I suspect I'm missing a memory... but I really can't remember it."
Helekla glanced at him. "What kind of situation... a lot of situations. Losing all your magic power, drinking too much... those can all lead to blackouts. I've tried them all."
"Being attacked by a top-level psychic monster like you will also cause amnesia." Helekla said lazily, "Which one do you think it is?"
Duan Ke frowned and looked confused.
Drinking should be impossible. Apart from the glass of wine Xu Jue gave him last time, he had never seen alcohol in his life, and he didn't dare drink secretly when he wanted to.
Losing all his magic power...that shouldn't be the case. This kind of thing would be devastating to a monster, but he is still quite healthy.
After all, she could hold Qin Huai in her mouth for so long and eat so much.
Duan Ke told Helekla his guess, looking conflicted.
Helekla pondered, "Hmm... That means they were attacked by a monster of the same type. Maybe that's the one we want to capture?"
"After all, what he wants is your magic power." Helekla touched his chin. "Absorbing memories is also a way to gain magic power."
Although it made some sense, Duan Ke still found it very strange.
If it was for magic, why did he only erase his memory of Qin Huai? He could have swallowed all the memories.
There are obviously more efficient methods, such as bloodsucking. Why use such a troublesome method as stealing memories?
Duan Ke was so overwhelmed by the thought. His mind was already blank when doing homework, and now it was even more of a headache.
He thought that he had to catch that annoying guy so that he could get his memory back and figure out how he had abandoned his boyfriend.
Duan Ke is a very responsible succubus. He thought that after he regained his memory, he would confess to Qin Huai and make amends to his boyfriend.
Seeing that Duan Ke had nothing else to ask, Helekla stood up and prepared to leave.
He clapped his hands, wrapped the coat that covered his scales more tightly around him, and adjusted his eye mask awkwardly.
"Think it over for yourself. If you want to give it a try, sneak in during these few days. If anything really happens... don't worry, just call me to get you out. The Administration wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
Helekla's assurance gave Duan Ke some confidence, and he was really tempted.
After all, he knew too little about that hateful guy, and he couldn't even take the initiative to find him, while he might be observing him in the dark at any time.
But... although the Inquisitor is on vacation recently, who knows if he will come back suddenly?
This person is really frightening.
Helekla came to the East to hunt down the Inquisitor, but the dragon spent so much effort and even explored the internal structure of the Administration, but still failed to decode this person's true identity.
This shows that the Inquisitor is very meticulous and has a strong ability to catch demons.
Duan Ke thought, if he went in rashly, what if he was discovered and arrested?
If he was caught on the spot, Duan Ke felt that he would definitely die in the Administration Bureau, and be executed by the Inquisitor himself.
Duan Ke suddenly felt sad. He didn't want to die at all.
He has finally survived all these years, and there are still many places he wants to play and go. How can he give up like this?
And what about her new boyfriend? Qin Huai would definitely be very sad. She had abandoned him before, and she couldn't be so irresponsible anymore.
Duan Ke was torn between two options, not knowing whether to go or not. Finally, he decided not to think about it for now, sighed, and dropped the paper into his pocket.
I'll go home and comfort myself with my boyfriend first. I'll deal with homework later. I can finish it by staying up late anyway.
Duan Ke closed his laptop. Not being able to see the Word interface made him feel much better, and he felt like the air was fresher.
He hummed a song and opened his phone, but found that Qin Huai had not replied to the message yet, and the chat interface was stuck on the crying kitten emoticon he sent.
Duan Ke looked at it and couldn't help but frowning slightly, with an indescribable feeling of depression in his heart.
He wasn't unhappy, but he felt a little strange and uneasy.
It's been so long since I sent the message. Even if Qin Huai was busy with work just now, he should have replied by now. He couldn't bear not to read my message for so long.
...Isn't anything going to happen? Maybe I'm just too busy today?
Duan Ke bit his lower lip unconsciously, the numbing feeling could distract him briefly.
He was still very uneasy and scrolled down the chat history. He found that he had not received any response to the animal video he sent to Xiao Hei Qiu and the store recommendation he sent to Xu Jue.
“…”
A sense of fear, similar to stepping on air, came over me belatedly.
Duan Ke's hands were shaking uncontrollably as he tried to call Xu Jue. The first time, the other party didn't answer, and the second time, the call was almost over before the other party picked up.
"Master Duan Ke... everything is fine here."
Xu Jue's voice sounded steady but very weak, obviously he had just been through a fierce battle.
"What attacked us were several monster clones. They weren't very strong, so we've already dealt with them... but some of their magic power was sucked away. No one is hurt. Don't worry."
"That thing is most likely one of our kind... Its attack method is very similar to yours."
Xu Jue lowered his head to glance at the bleeding wound on his arm, and at his compatriots lying on the ground groaning in pain. His expression was gloomy, completely inconsistent with his gentle voice, and he almost gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry, I will help you find out who the other party is as soon as possible."
"Okay...thank you for your hard work. I'll be there soon."
Duan Ke's face turned pale, his heart almost beating out of his chest. He struggled to calm down, and after confirming that his compatriots were safe, he desperately rushed towards the rental house.
Duan Ke traveled at the fastest speed in his life and arrived in just a few minutes.
He didn't even dare to waste time taking out his key, and he climbed in skillfully through the window. However, when he saw Qin Huai, he couldn't help but let out a scream.
——Qin Huai stood in front of the sink, staring at the broken mirror.
Even though his expression remained calm and restrained, the chilling aura around Qin Huai showed that his emotions were actually out of control at the moment.
It was almost impossible to conceal the situation. The terrifying low pressure filled the chaotic and narrow space, making it difficult to breathe.
Duan Ke stood at the bathroom door, looking at the horrible pool of blood, his face turned pale and he almost couldn't stand.
The mirror was covered in cracks and blood had seeped in. It was obvious someone had punched it in with enough force to injure both sides.
The sink was full of red water, and Qin Huai's right hand was pierced by several pieces of broken glass.
The wound pierces deeply, yet the person seems oblivious, staring intently at the empty mirror. There's no collapse, no anger, only a sense of boundless oppression and a desire to escape.
If Duan Ke and Qin Huai had not confirmed their relationship, he would probably be a little scared when he suddenly saw Qin Huai like this, and a very similar silhouette would emerge from his distant memories.
But he couldn't think of anything else at this moment. He was too heartbroken. The wound was so deep that if he wasn't careful, it might injure a vital part and Qin Huai's hand would be crippled.
Duan Ke walked over and pulled Qin Huai away from the pool of blood, his voice trembling with pain.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Your hand..."
Qin Huai finally came back to his senses, looked at Duan Ke who was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and quickly got rid of his previous emotions.
He took his hand away from Duan Ke's palm, took a step back, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't touch it. The glass is very sharp, be careful not to get pricked."
"What are you talking about? You're already like this!"
Duan Ke was almost irritated by his reaction, "Come here quickly! I'll handle it for you... well."
Qin Huai tilted his head and kissed him.
Duan Ke's high spirits were somewhat dampened by the kiss, and the angry expression on his little face froze for a moment.
But he quickly reacted, his face gloomy, "Brother, don't interrupt me! Did something attack you just now... Uh."
Qin Huai kissed Duan Ke again.
He lowered his eyes to look at his angry boyfriend. Seeing that Duan Ke's face was still very ugly, he stopped thinking about his hands and his mind was full of how to comfort his boyfriend.
Qin Huai walked forward and supported the back of Duan Ke's head with his hand that was not covered by the glass. He lowered his head calmly and licked and kissed Duan Ke's lips deeply and lightly, silently comforting him.
Duan Ke felt like a game character with a rage bar, while Qin Huai was a strategy player.
Every time Qin Huai kisses him, his anger level will drop, and it is completely out of his control and is a passive setting.
Duan Ke didn't know why Qin Huai's kissing skills were so good, even though they had only been together for a short time.
He was so disoriented by the kiss that he couldn't think of anything else. He could only sob and respond to his boyfriend.
Qin Huai has been controlling the rhythm, observing Duan Ke with his eyes lowered.
Qin Huai slowly let go of Duan Ke only after his emotions calmed down and his breathing became less rapid.
Qin Huai touched the back of Duan Ke's head, looked at Duan Ke's completely red face, and smiled softly.
"Be good, don't be afraid anymore." Qin Huai patted Duan Ke's back, coaxing her, "It's dirty here, let's go to the bedroom and talk."
