Chapter 57 57 Chasing the Past "Lin Jinsong is dead, they...

The Eternal Night Society, a cult organization whose founding time is unknown, is suspected to be deeply connected with the devil. Their slogan is "The gods are dead, and the eternal night is coming." They are believers in the fall of the gods. They believe that the mythical era ends with the death of the gods.

What does "eternal night" mean to them? Ning Changkong pondered.

Chi Zhaoming said seriously: "In fact, I started looking up relevant information about this organization because of something that happened ten years ago. On the one hand, it was indeed because of what I saw and heard at that time that I became interested in the relevant theories of the mythological era..."

"On the other hand... I vaguely saw some strange figures in that demiplane. They seemed to be from the West."

Unexpected, but reasonable. Ning Changkong let out a long breath. If the sky above that half plane is really full of illusionary passages, then the Alien Bureau can enter from the Longyuan Illusionary side, and others can enter from other illusions.

Chi Zhaoming took the initiative to say: "When the man surnamed Li* found me, I guessed that he must have cooperated with this gang. I also have some information related to the Evernight Society. I will ask someone to send it to Jinwu Garden."

Ning Changkong nodded in agreement. There was no rush to scout the treasure house. He still had to digest today's intelligence, so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Wait a minute!" Chi Zhaoming called him, with a strange look on his face.

"Um, do you know what Xiaoyue and Langning said to me before you came?"

The first year of the Reiki Recovery, the afternoon of June 20th, at the headquarters of the Alien Bureau.

"What do you mean - is this a nursery? Hey!" If the pain in his heart had not suddenly intensified, Ning Changkong would have slammed the table and stood up.

He took a deep breath. Don't be angry, don't be angry. If you get angry and become sick, no one can help you... If he keeps holding it in, he will really get a heart attack!

Ning Changkong said angrily: "What's the point of handing over your own students to me during the summer vacation? Go teach your own students!"

The topic turned to a relaxed direction. Chi Zhaoming shrugged: "It wasn't my idea. I helped you reject it, but do I look like someone who can persuade Xiao Yue and Lang Ning?"

He moved closer and listed the details one by one: "The man surnamed Li exposed your identity to your face. I had heard that Xiao Yue had been visiting Jinwu Garden every day recently, so I was probably suspicious a long time ago. Your help this time was perfect in timing, and it is another piece of new evidence."

Chu Qingge added: "There is also the matter of charging the feathers."

Ning Changkong said angrily, "How come so much material was added to Yue Jingting's crappy thesis all at once?"

Seeing that he pursed his lips and said nothing, Chi Zhaoming advised: "Those two are more stubborn than each other. If you really find them annoying, just explain it to them..."

Ning Changkong snorted coldly: "I am trapped in this situation where I am neither human nor demon, and I am caught between the two races. Why do you, the director of the Alien Department, want to personally push the human hero into this gap?"

The office was silent for a moment. Chi Zhaoming sighed:

"Those kids miss you so much."

"Lin Jinsong is dead, they should look forward." Ning Changkong stood up with a cold expression, "The only one who survived is Phoenix."

Chi Zhaoming stared at his thin back for a moment, then put away the smile on his face and asked, "You haven't told me yet, how did you go from being Lin Jinsong to being a phoenix?"

He had been watching Ning Changkong's condition, and his face had always been pale. On the Qingming Festival, he stood in the cemetery in a black robe, looking like a ghost who had come back to life.

If you are not careful, you will be sunburned by the scorching sun.

"...How could it be possible? Of course I died once."

Phoenix looked natural, and didn't seem to realize how shocking what she said was.

When he was dragged into the Kiriyama illusion by Phoenix, he sincerely gave up the idea of ​​escaping and tried his best to activate the warning spells he had left.

The last warning spell went out and the soul jade shattered because his life force was definitely gone and his fate was over.

The "refusal to die" feature of the Tongshan illusion made Feng Qingwu's heart immortal for thousands of years, and also retained the last bit of activity in his body, allowing Chu Qingge to forcibly put the soul back into the body by taking possession of it.

Should we describe him as "dying" or "already dead"? Ning Changkong ignored Chi Zhaoming's hesitant expression and pushed open the door of the office.

The first year of the Reiki Recovery, on the afternoon of June 20th, in Chi Zhaoming’s office.

Ning Changkong and Chi Zhaoming finished their secret talk, and then it was time to have a fight with Yue Jingting and Zuo Langning. Feng Huang spoke in a stern voice about how busy he was at work, and that the three little ones were not suitable for him to take care of, and there was no reason for him to help take care of them...

Yue Jingting casually threw out the first sentence: "Aren't you disciplining that little fox? It will be a piece of cake to add three more people."

Ning Changkong glared at him: Didn’t we agree not to tell anyone about him accepting a disciple?

Yue Jingting was determined to let the three little ones take the lead in gathering intelligence, even at the cost of breaking the agreement and offending Ning Changkong.

Yue Jingting's second sentence: "Gu Minghui was targeted by the bird with evil energy. Phoenix spiritual power is naturally resistant to evil energy. Even if the three of them just stay in Jinwu Garden, they are already well protected."

Ning Changkong frowned and said stiffly, "I have already given them the magic weapon to deal with the evil spirit, so why should they be confined here? In my opinion, it is quite safe for them to stay in the academy for a summer vacation."

Yue Jingting's third sentence: "Those kids are in need of training now. It would be best if they could take on some missions in Skynet to train themselves. They can't just stay in school or stay with their teachers."

Ning Changkong was indeed stunned. This was true. Gu Minghui and Wen Qingsheng both found their own masters, but Yan Xiaoling did not yet have a master, so she had to go home during the summer vacation. He subconsciously considered the feasibility of letting Su Yunyao take her to do missions, and further thought about how to ensure their safety...

Even Bai Xian couldn't help but glance to the side when he was stunned: Ning Changkong really cares about those three people...

This concern could not be hidden. Even though Ning Changkong was eloquent, he could not resist Yue Jingting's nagging about this point, which made Ning Changkong very angry.

Seeing that he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, Chi Zhaoming hurriedly called him to sit down and rest. Yue Jingting used his strength to press him down on the sofa, and Zuo Langning silently handed him a cup of tea.

This interruption made Ning Chang lose half of his temper, and he was left holding the teacup with his face flushed with embarrassment.

He drank a few sips of tea to suppress his cough. Yue Jingting saw that he still looked unwell, so he asked Bai Xian to take him back, and said solemnly: "I will visit you again tomorrow to discuss this matter, you go back and rest first."

Chi Zhaoming lowered his head, couldn't help laughing, and waited calmly for Ning Changkong's reaction.

Ning Changkong was annoyed and didn't have the energy to argue with them. He responded coldly: "I agree to this matter. However, I don't think you can get the result you want."

After saying some harsh words, Phoenix simply said goodbye and left with his servants.

Chi Zhaoming slowly poured a cup of tea and said, "You have made the usually good-tempered Phoenix so angry. Be careful not to affect the harmony between humans and demons."

The fact that humans and demons are on different paths was exposed to Yue Jingting, and he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. His mood became depressed. Yue Jingting held the teacup and whispered, "I don't understand - he clearly remembers it, why doesn't he admit it?"

Is it because of their different standpoints? But at least for now, humans and demons are still in a cooperative relationship, so why should they cut off all ties?

Yue Jingting would rather believe that his junior brother's memory was still confused, and only the concern engraved in his instinct remained. He didn't want to believe that he remembered everything but was determined to become a phoenix. He didn't want to believe...

...He kept it secret on purpose for their sake.

The first year of the spiritual recovery, the evening of June 20th, the master bedroom of Jinwuyuan.

"Why are you so angry this afternoon? Come, take your medicine." Bai Xian stuffed the medicine bowl into Ning Changkong's hand.

Ning Changkong sat on the bed, hugged the quilt, and drank the medicine with a listless look on his face.

After a long day of fighting and quarreling, my body, which had been ill for a long time, could not bear it. I was so exhausted that my brain was not working.

After taking the medicine and rinsing his mouth, Ning Chang lay down consciously as never before. Bai Xian was still struggling over whether to ask a few questions, but he had almost turned off his phone and fell asleep.

Bai Xian couldn't help but ask him softly, "What is your relationship with those three human children?"

"I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep." Ning Changkong replied vaguely and turned over with his back to Bai Xian.

I will take care of the lies tomorrow.

"...I'm really tired." Bai Xian muttered, pulled the quilt for someone, sat on the bed and played with his mobile phone.

What greeted Ning Changkong was not the familiar sweet dream, but a sudden dizziness followed by a burning pain all over the body.

In an unexpected situation, calm down, take a deep breath... First, determine the source of the pain.

But the pain seemed to be everywhere, like an invisible flame burning every cell of his from the inside out. His nerve endings seemed to be electrocuted, transmitting sharp and continuous signals, making it impossible for him to concentrate and he could only passively endure this torrent of pain.

Theoretically, the health of this body should not have deteriorated to this extent overnight, and why did it hurt so much? Was my pain-blocking switch pried open?

Chu Qingge's hesitant voice sounded: "Well, the situation now is more complicated... I can't block your pain."

It was rare that one could not block out the pain. Ning Changkong immediately thought of the most likely scenario:

Pain is the reality of being alive. Continuous pain maintains the cognition of "I am still alive" and keeps the consciousness tightly attached to the body.

But it doesn’t make sense. He was fine before going to sleep, so how could he suddenly become so sick and dying as soon as he closed his eyes?

Chu Qingge spoke slowly, as if digesting the information: "It's indeed not a problem with your original body..."

Ning Changkong barely regained control of his body in the severe pain. He tried his best to lift his heavy eyelids. In front of him was a blurry red. He tried to open his eyes wide, waiting for his visual system to work normally again.

"To put it simply, just now, you suddenly lost your soul."

His senses gradually became clearer. He found himself lying on the bed in a rigid position, his hands crossed on his abdomen, the folded velvet quilt was beside him, but he didn't cover himself.

"The soul that left the body was attracted by a huge force, and then was stuffed into another body..."

His vision slowly focused, and he could see that there was an unfamiliar wooden ceiling above his head, and vaguely some dusty spider webs.

He endured the exploding headache and turned his head with difficulty, and saw the long red hair spread out beneath him.

"...and, this body is most likely that of Phoenix."
