Mystery: The Star Key

Above the layers of gray fog, Su Yuanning saw the familiar living room again.

However, the situation in the living room this time seems to be different from before.

This time, as if he had come for the first time, he was isolated from the air wall and separated from the living room by a short distance.

Su Yuanning tried to call out Senior Xiao Zhou's name, but got no response.

He could only quicken his pace and run around the living room.

However, at this time, the entire living room seemed to be as huge as before.

Su Yuanning ran at the fastest speed, but when he felt a little breathless, he just walked around the stool and deflected some angle so that he could see Senior Xiao Zhou sitting on the sofa just now.

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui's head was very low, and the blanket that had been covering him was covered over his shoulders for some reason. Moreover, the whole person's dressing style seems to have changed significantly.

Arrodes, who turned into a small dog, was lying on Zhou Mingrui's lap at this time, raised his head and tried to lick his face with his tongue. As if trying to keep his master awake in this way.

Seeing such a change, Su Yuanning suddenly shuddered, realizing that this might be a very critical moment for Senior Xiao Zhou.

"Senior Xiao Zhou—" Su Yuanning rushed forward, wanting to offer some help, but was blocked by the air wall.

But even so, Su Yuanning did not sit still and shouted very hard.

"Senior Xiao Zhou—"

"Senior Xiao Zhou—"

Su Yuanning shouted hard, and tried to use various tricks to attract the attention of the people inside.

Finally, when Igna tried to light up the sky here with his thirtieth fireball, Arrodes seemed to have finally discovered his existence.

"My dear, dear master, that little Abraham is here." The familiar Arrodes flattering voice sounded in Su Yuanning's ears.

The wall of air blocking him also disappeared after three breaths.

Su Yuanning immediately rushed to the living room, just as he was almost near the edge of the chair, a daze appeared in front of his eyes, he stumbled and fell on a sofa. Judging from the soft touch, it was the one he usually sat on.

Su Yuanning raised his head in a panic, but saw that Senior Xiao Zhou seemed to have a translucent black hood on his head. The lenses of the glasses that are usually placed on the nose are also shrouded in darkness and become blurred.

At this moment, Su Yuanning could only reluctantly see from his chin that the person sitting in that position was someone he knew well.

"Senior Xiao Zhou, you, what's the matter?" Su Yuanning asked.

Although in theory, he could safely come to Zhou Mingrui, which means that Senior Xiao Zhou should be fine. But he doesn't look like he's not without problems now.

The surrounding air is not as warm and relaxed as before, but vaguely repressed and silent.

Facing Su Yuanning's question, Zhou Mingrui opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Instead, Arrodes, who had been licking his hand, spoke, with a hint of anger in his voice: "Stupid human, do you want to know what you should do now?"

"I think." Su Yuanning replied immediately, not caring about Arrodes' words, "Dear Arrodes, what can I do?"

"Tell me your story," Arrodes replied immediately, "Tell me a little more, be a little more detailed, a story full of human nature."

"What?" Su Yuanning was stunned, he didn't expect this answer at all.

However, he realized it in an instant.

Before, he had a vague feeling. For Senior Xiao Zhou, there is a close relationship between his state and his humanity. In the humanity shown by Senior Zhou, "different stories" seem to have played a role.

"I see." Su Yuanning said immediately without waiting for Arrodes to answer.

Although he didn't want to talk about the things he had encountered so far, but at this moment, it seemed that he couldn't care about so much under such circumstances.

Su Yuanning can think of now, can tell the story full of rich humanity, this is probably the only one.

"There aren't many recent things. But it can all start from a commission from Melissa last Thursday..."

When it came to Melissa, Su Yuanning felt the surrounding air suddenly loosen.

Su Yuanning was stunned, looked at Zhou Mingrui, and found that the translucent hood floating on the head of Senior Xiao Zhou for no reason had disappeared.

It's just that his glasses are still covered with gray fog, and he can't see the eyes behind the lenses.

However, Su Yuanning could see that the corners of Zhou Mingrui's mouth were slightly raised at this time, a curvature that Su Yuanning was very familiar with.

Zhou Mingrui seemed to notice Su Yuanning's gaze, he nodded lightly, as before, encouraging him to continue talking.

Seeing this, Arrodes seemed to be relieved as well. It "wow" and said: "Stupid human, you continue to talk. Keep telling the story, don't stop. My master is in good condition now. ."

Su Yuanning keenly noticed Arrodes' words.

But he didn't stop to ask. Instead, it continued the above story and said: "Melissa asked me to go with him to the East End to rescue one of her assistants. Her assistant was called Rebecca. She had not contacted her for more than three days. She was very worried. She wanted to Contact the Nighthawks, but before going, she did a divination and she came to me..."

Su Yuanning did not conceal the involvement of "The Fool" in the story. At the same time, he was also observing Senior Xiao Zhou's expression. Sure enough, after hearing the revelation given by The Fool, the corners of his mouth tightened.

"Melissa also brought me a shirt." Su Yuanning coughed softly, "That shirt belonged to his brother Klein Moretti, and it was this shirt that made us discover the abnormality in the Eastern District."

When Su Yuanning said Klein Moretti's name, he felt a little stagnation in the air.

Su Yuanning, who has been looking at Zhou Mingrui, has not missed a trace of Zhou Mingrui's changes.

At this moment, he saw the yellow and black blanket covering Senior Zhou's body. At this moment, there seemed to be some cracks and signs of cracking.

Sure enough... Su Yuanning's guess was confirmed. His ears were also a little uncontrollably red, but he still tried his best to pretend he didn't notice.

"We found that the residents of the East District showed an unusual enthusiasm for shirts, showing high aggressiveness and high inspiration. This is obviously not normal, so I reported this to the Nighthawks..." Su Yuanning continued. .

"...Then, the Nighthawks intervened in the investigation of the situation in the Eastern District, and then we discovered that the Eastern District seems to be undergoing some unknown changes."

"...Therefore, in order to cooperate with the work of the Nighthawks, I went to a newly built underground boxing ring with Captain Dunn Smith. During the investigation of that underground boxing ring, I was infected very covertly." Su Yuanning road.

"...Later, the Church of the Evernight Goddess purified me."

"Well, when I just entered this space, the pollution on my body was completely removed." Su Yuanning added.

"Then, after learning about the situation in the East District, I assisted the Nighthawks to investigate together. Finally, I found out that the cause of the hidden contamination was a kind of bacteria. This kind of bacteria is the moon contaminated by a belief. 'The biologists cultivated, can secretly reproduce in the human body, and affect human cognition and state through the number. Through droplet transmission, in the case of a 'field', it can reproduce in large quantities and quickly."

Su Yuanning noticed that Zhou Mingrui's expression became a little serious, he smiled and comforted: "Senior Xiao Zhou, don't worry, the matter has been resolved, the mother body has been destroyed, and the culprit has also been taken into custody. Beckland De also held a grand mass by the Church of the Storm yesterday. Backlund is still a safe Backlund."

"The story ends here." Su Yuanning said here, feeling that his story was really lackluster. So he smiled and asked, "Senior Xiao Zhou, do you feel better?"

Su Yuanning's question could be regarded as a well-informed question.

He could see that as he narrated the story plainly, the blanket covering Senior Xiao Zhou gradually faded, and at this moment, it disappeared directly.

Su Yuanning was finally able to see the legs that were always buried under the blanket, and the familiar black eyes behind the thin lenses.

"Thank you." Zhou Mingrui said.

For the first time, he stepped down from his position, walked in front of Su Yuanning, and said softly, "Thank you for your story, and thank you for protecting Backlund."
