Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 144 If this is not love

On December 31, New Era 534, melodious whistles echoed over Linhai City. Four days had passed since the Dark Torrent erupted. All the refugees in the underground neighborhoods had been settled, and the injured were all in the hospital. Received proper treatment.

The heretics such as the Tower of Babel and the Corpse Cult lurking in the city have basically been expelled. Those who deserved to be killed have been killed, and those who deserved to escape have also fled.

 Their plan basically failed.

 As long as you wait to invade the Land of the Past, you can complete the complete expulsion.

 Disaster relief materials were sent from all over the world. After the rescue team completed their mission, they also began to take charge of post-disaster reconstruction work. It was not difficult for the evolutionists.

With the help of the Noah Agency, they brought in powerful water pumps to drain away the stagnant water in the disaster area, and then evaporated it using high temperatures, but they could not dispose of it harmlessly.

Su Shi was very busy with this matter. After all, after the stagnant water containing dark matter evaporated into the air, it might affect the people of the entire city. After thinking about it, he still asked the holy high priest to use magic to solve this problem.

 “New Year’s Eve is tomorrow, it’s really not easy for people to live in peace.”

The admiral sighed: "I heard that someone from the church is coming?"

Xia Yan hummed: "Of course they are coming after such a big thing happened, but I don't know who is coming. And that group of people came this time not only for the disaster area, but also because they wanted to find out what was going on underground. What happened in the ruins?"

He looked at the night scene outside the window and drank a cup of hot tea silently: "After all, two special dawn sequences died at once, and an extremely precious sacred object was lost."

Admiral Su Shi said solemnly: "I would like to know who gave the Dawn Special Sequence the secret mission, and even concealed it from me..."

 Because not long ago, a big event happened in the Akashic Holy Cult.

Thirteen cardinals responsible for guarding the sealed door died mysteriously.

 Know that that happened at the federal headquarters.

The so-called federal headquarters is a special zone that is large enough to span the border between the two countries, and the center of the church is located in St. Petersburg in northwest Russia.

 The essence of the divine intelligence is there.

There are no restricted areas of life near St. Petersburg. In addition to guarding the divine intelligence, there is no need to guard the site of the gods. Heretics will not rush to challenge the majesty of the original wisdom of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, so the city has been peaceful for a long time.

 This is the first time something has happened in recent years.

 After the death of the cardinals, news came.

 The hidden blood within the forbidden door has disappeared!

 This also means that there must be something fishy about this operation.

 It’s just that they still don’t know what happened.

“We can only wait for Ai Yue to wake up.”

Sushi suddenly asked: "How is the deer?"

Xia Yan chuckled.

 “At the sacrificial hall.”

 He paused: "Admiral Su, who is that Miss Xuelian?"

Su Shi was silent for a moment: "Yes, he is the person you think of."

Xia Yan was dumbfounded: "How many times has that kid eaten so much that he dared to pour on the high priest all wet? The key is, the high priest hasn't refused yet?"

 The scene was still vivid in their memory.

 It’s not just because of Lu Fuji’s heroic return.

It was also because of the heroic sacrifice of the Dawn Special in his arms.

At that time, after Shika Fuji put the sacrificed special agent on the stretcher, he glanced at everyone with an extremely calm gaze, and said something that made all the senior officials in the room couldn't help but reflect: "It turns out that professional Soldiers are such a respectable group of people, but I really don’t want to be them at all, because from the bottom of my heart I feel unworthy for them.”

 After saying this, he passed out.

Of course in retrospect, the devil is in the details.

 There were many people who wanted to support him at that time.

 For example, Ai Yue is extremely weak.

 Another example is Lu Sixian wearing a mask.

Even the cold and noble high priest took half a step forward.

 So much so that Su Shi and Xia Yan's stretched out hands froze in the air awkwardly.

 Neither does it extend, nor does it shrink.

 It can only be said that this young girl Lu Buer is very popular.

The courage is also boundless.

In the end, the high priest held the boy in his arms. Perhaps he was worried that he might suffer from physical problems due to overdraft at the bottom of the sea, so he took him to the sacrificial hall without saying a word.

 “This level of being a rich woman is amazing.”

Xia Yan said with emotion: "I'm afraid this kid still doesn't know the identity of the woman he's attracted to, right? This is like two hundred years of hard work. The high priest secretly used magical powers to give him There was a thunderstorm, and I asked him why he was in the third realm."

“Chance is a wonderful thing.”

Sushi sighed: "I'm worried about another thing."

 “Mr. Longque is getting ready to enter the Holy Mountain.”

Xia Yan knew what he was thinking: "Will that kid agree?"

 The relationship between them is so good.

“Mr. Longque is still thinking about it, but I think he will go.”

Su Shi sighed: "As for whether the deer can accept it..."

 No one knows the answer.

At that time, when Lu Fuji fell, there was actually someone who wanted to hold him up.

 But in the end he was isolated from the crowd.

That person is Longque.

The man who was once closest to the holy monarch was sitting in a wheelchair with an intravenous drip, smoking a cigarette and silently watching the scene like the return of a hero. He then glanced at the people surrounding him, and finally showed a relieved smile. , turned around and left the scene.

 His back in the sunshine seemed so lonely that he seemed far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

When Lu Fuji woke up again, he found himself in a beautifully decorated bedroom. He was lying on a large, soft bed. The air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of something close at hand. Breathing.

In fact, after arriving in the Third Victory Realm, his life level has evolved again. Coupled with the ability of the immortal body, he should not have been sleeping for so long, but he absorbed too many black crystals underwater, and all the way Fighting from the ground to the surface caused exhaustion to the extreme.

 The physical and mental exhaustion directly overwhelmed him.

 When he woke up, he felt completely refreshed.

 But the strange room in front of him confused him.

"woke up?"

 Someone said indifferently.

It was still a familiar voice, with a hint of disgust in its coldness.

Lu Fuji turned his head and saw a cold and noble face.

Xuelian was sitting beside the bed, with her black hair disheveled, wearing a black suspender belt and a gray sweater jacket. She peeled grapes boredly and stuffed them into his mouth.

Lu Fuji felt that he was dreaming, because he actually saw the little nun in casual clothes. After being stunned for a moment, his eyes moved downward silently.

"What are you looking at?"

Snow Lotus Fox asked.

 Until she looked down and saw her legs.

 She rolled her eyes: "Look at your potential!"

 Her home attire today was naturally not too tightly wrapped, so she only wore a pair of rather loose shorts, revealing a pair of slender and delicate legs, and wore flip-toe slippers.

 “Where is this?”

Lu Fuji lowered his head and asked.

"my home."

Xuelian pulled the hem of her coat to cover her thighs.

 “Your family?”

Lu Buer raised his head: "Don't you live in the sacrificial hall?"

Xuelian explained expressionlessly: "Although I have very little personal time, it is not none. Will you always live in the company's office? My monthly salary is 54,000 yuan converted into local currency. , bought a house in the city center.”

"The sacrificial hall has been used as a temporary hospital, and there is no room for you to stay. As for the military hospital, it is also full, and the medical staff are even more busy."

She explained calmly: "So I took you to my house and slept in my bedroom. I slept on the sofa in the living room. I hope you don't misunderstand."

Lu Buer said seriously: "Very good, I think you have assumed the role of Mrs. Lu... Don't roll your eyes in a hurry. Who changed my clothes and gave me a bath?" Xuelian kept a straight face and said nothing.

“It can’t be Xiaoxian, right?”

Lu Buer looked around: "Where is she?"

“Dark magic consumes a lot of money.”

Xuelian said coldly: "She is still in a coma."

 In fact, Lu Fuji already knew the answer, but because of her face, she still didn't reveal it. Otherwise, the woman would have given him a blank look and then ignored him for a long time.

 Although her white eyes are quite pretty.

"Speaking of which, I felt a thunderstorm when I was advanced underwater." Lu Fuji vaguely thought of something and stared at her face carefully, trying to figure out something.

 “I specifically asked the teacher to lower it for you.”

Xuelian glanced at him: "Are you touched?"

Lu Buer said suspiciously: "Are you so proud?"

Xuelian raised her chin and hummed softly: "I am the teacher's most proud student. Besides, you have saved her life. Why doesn't she help you? Although the teacher may be held accountable for this matter, she is In the church system, they are not very popular in the first place.”

 She emphasized: “The water in the church is very deep.”

 Yes, the water in the church is very deep.

Lu Fuji suddenly fell into silence.

"What's wrong?"

Xuelian asked with a frown.

 “Lu Ming is dead, that special sequence of dawn.”

After Lu Buer was silent for a moment, he whispered: "Actually, I have always had a rebellious mentality before, because I lived at the bottom for too long five hundred years ago, and I scorned some so-called spirits. But this time is different, they really is a person worthy of admiration.”

 “But they died, by the hands of their own men.”

 He paused: "There are traitors in the special dawn sequence."

Xuelian narrowed her beautiful eyes.

　　Two people were sacrificed in this special dawn sequence.

 But only one body was brought back.

 In fact, everyone already has guesses in their minds.

Now I finally got Lu Fuji’s approval.

"The Creation Race, this is the second group of believers who believe in the Mother Nest of Creation after the Ministry of the Past. Behind this group of people are actually the top leaders of the church. This time, the Dawn Special Sequence received a secret mission to carry the true blood. Go to the Holy Mountain and look for clues about Metanzo.”

Lu Fujipa paused: "But the real blood was dropped!"

Xuelian frowned and said, "Instead of the hidden blood?"

"Yes, Qingye of the Dawn Special Sequence rebelled and wanted to kill everyone in the underground ruins and pour the hidden blood into the groundwater. This means that there are people in the church's upper echelons who don't want Metanzo to come back. , let alone let the secret of the Holy Mountain come to light.”

Lu Fuji took a deep breath: "There are beasts in the church's upper echelons!"

 His blood pressure slowly rose.

 “Don’t be in a hurry to trigger the passive yet.”

Xuelian rolled her eyes at him: "Since the Dawn Special Sequence has received a secret mission, Ai Yue probably knows some clues. The cardinal responsible for guarding the sealed door died mysteriously four days ago. The person who can control this matter, It’s definitely not simple.”

"If the teacher was still at the core of the church, then she might be able to find out about this matter. But she has been away from the center of power for too long. Just like those generals with heavy troops in ancient times, they were always assigned to the frontiers and had no access to them. to the core power of the country.”

 She asked: "Let me ask you, where is the hidden blood?"

Shika Fuji was stunned: "I don't know."

 His palms tightened on the sheets.

At this moment, the box containing the hidden blood is hidden in the sewer.

The flaming ghosts lurk in the darkness, guarding his holy relics.

Xuelian said expressionlessly: "Don't feel guilty."

 Lu Fujihan coughed dryly: "I don't have a guilty conscience."

"Someone from the top of the church is here. I don't know who it is, but it won't be a nobody. If he asks you this, you will be exposed directly."

Xuelian asked helplessly: "Let me ask you again, where is the secret blood of the church?"

Lu Fuji was not happy: "That's my secret blood!"

 Well, since everyone has already guessed it.

Then he had no choice but to admit it.

 “I don’t care who owns that thing, but you can’t expose it.”

Xuelian said angrily: "You dare to take anything. Do you know how to use it? If you don't play well, people all over the world will forget you. All traces of you in this world will cease to exist. You can see The world, the world cannot see you.”

Shika Fuji was stunned: "Will you also forget me?"

 It turns out that the effect of hidden blood is so powerful.

 It can even make the whole world forget a person.

That seems to be a very cruel punishment. You can clearly see everyone in the world, but no one can see you, hear your voice, or feel your existence.

 You are right at the center of the world, yet you seem to be exiled to the desolation of the universe.

 Everything is close at hand.

 But it’s far away.

 “No, because I will teach you how to use it.”

Xuelian crossed her arms and said calmly: "If you use it well, you can make others forget that you have hidden the secret blood. You can even erase the traces of your thunder attribute in future battles. You don't Do you think your thunder attribute is too conspicuous? Even if you wear silly stockings on your head, others will know it's you as soon as you use numerology."

Lu Fuji hesitated for a moment: "Please note that you are also a member of the church."

 “I don’t think you regard me as a member of the church.”

Xuelian said coldly: "You clearly regard me as your wife."

 “Not bad, very conscious!”

 Lu Buer nodded and said, "It seems that our teacher has agreed to this marriage."

Xue Lian really didn't want to continue this idiotic conversation with him, and said impatiently: "This is a reward for you. You risked your life to solve this disaster, and you must gain something. Besides, the teacher has been The church is ostracizing them, so why should I help them?”

 Lu Fuji said thoughtfully: "It makes sense."

 “Are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat.”

Xuelian’s tone was a little softer: “Today is New Year’s Eve.”

 Maybe it’s because this young man has been working too hard recently, and he feels a little distressed.

 So she plans to fulfill her promise.

 Go shopping with him, watch movies, visit the aquarium, and have dinner together.

  This is her first New Year's Eve in two hundred years.

 “It’s New Year’s Eve? I’ve been in a coma for four days?”

Lu Fuji glanced at the clock on the wall and hesitated for a moment: "It's only ten o'clock in the morning. There's still plenty of time. How about we go out to eat? I have something to do in the evening and I have to go out."

Xuelian was stunned.

 She is ready to accompany him on the New Year's Eve.

 Lu Buer said something was wrong?

 “I want to see the dragon bird during the festival.”

 Lu Fuji thought for a while: "I'm afraid he will be too lonely."

Xue Lian’s eyes changed slightly.

 “I’m a little confused about who the real Mrs. Deer is.”

She snorted lightly, but she wasn't really jealous.

Lu Fuji shook his head, his eyes darkened, and he said softly: "I'm just a little worried about his condition... The thunder attribute evolver in the Tower of Babel is his sister, right?"

Xuelian also fell into silence.

 “I’ll accompany you.”

　　　It’s gone today, but two updates will be restored tomorrow!
