Chapter 18: Friendship also lasts for a long time and the longing gradually disappears, and the two return to the present...
The longing gradually faded away and the two returned to reality.
Sakeli shrank into the corner holding the book.
The witch hunter ignored her. The lackey from the tower left for a short while and then dragged someone out from hiding.
Sakerui looked at the unconscious person for a long time, thinking uncertainly that it should be Shanju.
She didn't have the ability to distinguish the differences in the secret patterns on the cloak, but just intuitively thought it was mountain orange.
Wu Lie looked at her and said, "Wake him up."
Sakori thought this was a really weird guy.
But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, so she chose to grab Shanju's collar and started shaking.
Shanjue woke up with his hands covering his head and gasping for breath, as if he had been knocked unconscious.
He jumped up from the ground alertly and took two steps back from the witch hunter.
"you--"
Maybe in the eyes of Wu Lie, dealing with two people is almost the same as dealing with one person.
He said coldly, "Follow me."
Therefore, this weirdo chose to let the two people walk on their own, without any intention of restricting their actions.
Sakori secretly poked Shanjue, and the two of them briefly became angry. Such contempt! Did they think they couldn't escape together?!
...It seems like I really can't escape.
None of Shanjue's secret equipment was left, only the cloak with concealment function was still there.
Sakori... needless to say, he's a real loser in combat.
What the two of them didn't know was that Wu Lie was just burned by their body temperature when he captured them before.
Hot in both spiritual and material sense.
Although he would no longer be hurt by new stimuli, he had no intention of changing his habits.
He was used to pain, used to waiting, and used to endurance.
Now he has decided to use all these habits to lurk in the shadows.
Lurking in the tower, he delivered a fatal blow to them during a ceremony not long after.
This is a small gift in return for the gift from the gods.
Of course, if you can—
He wanted to offer Him something of greater value.
The former tower hound rolled his eyes upward.
...What could be more valuable than the stars?

President Deer had a dream. It was rare for him to sleep so soundly and for so long.
So the dream was also about something that happened a long, long time ago.
Probably... a hundred years.
At that time, it was still a human being. Although for some unknown reason, it hid the corpse of the old god, its poverty did not change.
It still can't afford bread.
In order to have enough food, the white deer joined the tower.
It must be really talented in secret patterns. It was just an ordinary person when it joined, but after sacrificing a small concept, its level was raised step by step in a short period of time.
It encountered a witch hunt.
The two people who entered the tower just to get enough food certainly had a lot in common, and both of them loved to talk and laugh, and had a lot of similarities in their personalities.
We don't spend much time together, but we have a pretty good personal relationship. At least I don't feel guilty about calling us just ordinary friends.
Until the white deer was taken away by its boss at the time, who was also its teacher.
At that time, it thought it was a new imprinting task.
The teacher said that he hoped it would abandon the concept of "humanity".
The guards around clearly showed that it was not "hope" but "necessity".
Of course Bai Lu didn't want to.
Who is willing to give up the concept of "humanity"? What's the difference between that and losing everything?
The soul is not human, the body is not human, and everyone will slowly forget that you were once a human being over time.
But it has no choice.
Perhaps I made a wrong decision when I joined the Tower.
But it was ultimately praised by its teacher as the person with the highest talent for secret patterns in the world, even though it was no longer a "human".
It still escaped.
Since then, it has been wandering around and by chance, joined the Secret Rune Society.
As for the witch hunt... he couldn't escape it, he didn't have any special talents or abilities.
Especially after Bai Lu successfully escaped, the tower strengthened its management.
Tacitly, Witch Hunter became its spy in the tower.
When on a mission, it will casually leave marks that only it can understand. Occasionally, when the guard is not so strict, you can even send it a communication.
Later, Wu Lie suddenly lost contact for half a year.
During that half year, Bai Lu kept speculating, from thinking that he had changed his mind and would no longer be its spy, to thinking that he was actually dead.
It didn't expect that he was chosen to become the living body of the secret pattern engraving.
Wu Lie was not the only one chosen as a living being, but he was the only one who survived.
Perhaps, it is not fair to say that he has no special talents. At least in the living imprinting experiment, he showed that life is as resilient as weeds.
At every brink of death, he tried his best to survive.
The next person to appear was Witch Hunt, a participant of the "Tower Order".
…
The dream of memories ended here, and Bai Lu, who had already become the president of the Secret Pattern Society, opened his eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a group of people surrounding me, staring at me in silence.
The deer was frightened by the sight.
A group of people looked at each other and said, "Why don't we let Lin take a look?" "Yes, yes, where is Junior Sister? Was she here just now?"
Until a man stood out from the crowd and pounced on the white deer, lying on its belly and began to cry.
"Teacher! You're finally awake!"
A group of people crowded forward, chattering and humming, like kindergarten students who were awakened by a child's crying and pressed an unknown button.
"Get out of the way! I got back first! I need to talk to the teacher first!"
"Get lost! I'm stationed so far away and haven't seen my teacher in years! I'll go first!"
"Me first!"
"I!"
Bai Lu slowly closed his eyes.
...Haha, the students are still so lively.
"Everyone, get out of the way. The teacher needs to rest."
Lin seemed like a god descending from heaven, pushing the group of people apart with an expressionless face.
A group of cloaked men looked at Lin eagerly.
Being watched by so many people.
Lin looked like she was about to wrap her cloak around herself tightly, hiding herself completely.
President Lu sighed, but still took over the responsibility: "Okay, now we have more important things to do, right?"
Lin pulled her hood up, trying to block everyone's sight.
"Shanju and Sakri are both in the tower right now, according to the divination results."
*
Sakori was locked up, a result that did not surprise her.
She was determined to be locked up with Shanju, but this was not achieved. Gaota had to settle for the second best and locked Shanju up next to her.
The environment where she was imprisoned was very good, and it could be said that it was no different from her original room.
High bed with soft pillows, crystal chandelier, fine wine and delicious food.
Shanjue's eyes hidden under his hood could not hide his resentment.
——They were both imprisoned, so why did he have to sleep on a straw bed, with thin candles and rice porridge?
The two chatted secretly, trying to discuss possible ways to escape from prison.
Footsteps were heard from the prison entrance.
The two of them immediately returned to their assigned positions and kept silent.
He was a man in a long robe, followed by two guards.
Sakori heard the guard call out respectfully, "High Priest."
And the high priest was walking towards her with a clear purpose.
