"When did you come back?"
Xue Zhi stared at the dead tree that was about to escape with wide eyes. Thinking of what happened just now, a shy feeling came to Xue Zhi's heart.
"No? Why...why didn't you say anything when you came back?"
Xuezhi stumbled when talking. It was really shameful to talk about the relationship in front of the other person in such an unconfirmed relationship.
"I was just captured by Teacher Haoyue."
Kumu cleared his throat and started to change the topic. It would be too embarrassing to continue.
"Teacher Haoyue seems to be entrusting me with something very important, and I also gained a lot from my trip to the Dark Realm this time!"
Kumu immediately told Yukizhi what happened in the Dark Realm, and as long as Yukizhi continued the topic, there would be no problem.
Xuezhi now has some telepathic feelings about dead wood. He knows what dead wood means, so he follows what dead wood says.
"So what is it?"
"The Palace of Light does collude with the Dark Territory. People in the Dark Territory trade containers that can store souls with people in the Palace of Light. Of course, I also met people from the Palace of Light, but I'm afraid those people won't be able to go back."
"Have you already met Yukiori?"
Haoyue suddenly intervened in the conversation between the two. Just now, Haoyue went to sort out some questions and information.
Haoyue kicked off her calves and spun in a small circle on her swivel chair. Looking at the embarrassed two people, she knew what had happened just now without having to guess.
"Why don't you two say anything when I talk?"
The silent space made Haoyue a little uncomfortable, but it was definitely not easy for her to ask openly about the two people's affairs. After all, these two people must have other feelings inside.
"Tell me what you did in the Dark Realm? Why did you come back so late? And why did little Mengze look like you were giving her last words when she asked for news? Why did the people in the Hall of Light seem to have What action did you take? Are you looking for something to do with the Palace of Light in the Dark Realm?"
Facing Haoyue's question, Dead Wood also narrated it in a leisurely manner. At such a critical moment, Dead Wood can improve his thoughts very well. He will ignore any tension and embarrassment for a second. After the same Dead Wood doesn't care, Xue Zhi naturally Also soothed.
"I fought with a leader of the Dark Territory in the Dark Territory, and got some information from him. They did have some interactions with the people in the Hall of Light. The people in the Dark Territory are primarily interested in profit. Although they didn't say it explicitly, It’s basically certain that they are people from the Hall of Light, but it’s a pity that I can’t get evidence of the transaction, because it will put them in an unjust place.”
"I see."
Haoyue immediately understood what Kumu meant. After all, he was a person from the Dark Territory. If the evidence of the transaction was grasped by the Investigation Department, then the Hall of Light would definitely be the first to suspect the person who traded with him. However, the people from the Dark Territory had no intention of going to the outside world yet. , if we are weak and facing the Palace of Light, it will be a dead end. The meaning of the Dark Realm is to let us find loopholes in the Palace of Light ourselves.
Haoyue's lips parted slightly. People in the Dark Realm are still like that. I don't know why they created such a place in the first place. What Kumu said is right, but the people in the Dark Realm and the Hall of Light are both enemies. It's just not possible to let either of them go. Now the Hall of Light needs to be targeted the most.
"It's a pity that what little Mengze brought back didn't contain any useful information."
Deadwood has known this for a long time.
Haoyue told Kumu that he needed to see Mengze later. That little girl was very concerned about your life and death.
"Hahaha, dead wood is really popular with children." Haoyue sipped her tea gracefully and looked at dead wood with eyes that turned into crescent moons.
("Teacher Haoyue doesn't seem to know that Mengze's real age is actually older than me, right? Mengze has exactly the same attributes as Teacher Haoyue. Indeed, Teacher Haoyue should have just met him, but the details are definitely not clear.")
"Know it."
What you think in your heart will not affect what you say. Even if Haoyue doesn't say it, you will still go and see it.
"But I have to go to another place next! That is the Forge City, known as the hometown of supernatural weapons."
When Kumu talked about this place, Haoyue was startled. Then he looked at Xuezhi, and then used his mental power to detect the surroundings to make sure there were no enemies. Then he told Kumu that he was heading to the Home of Forging based on the report of a reliable informant. On the way, this task was assigned by the Palace of Light.
("Reliable informant? From the Hall of Light? It should be Fang Hua, right? I didn't expect him to be able to do the tasks assigned by the Hall of Light. It seems that Fang Hua is also getting stronger. It just so happens that I can go and greet him. one time.")
"Ku Mu, your perception of key clues is really unexpectedly good. You are indeed the student I like. Not counting the time you went to the Dark Territory, I will send you this time, and I will upgrade you after the event is completed."
Now Haoyue trusts Kumu very much. This is a trial. When the time comes, she will ask Xuezhi to go with her, just in time to cultivate the relationship between the two of them, and by the way, she can see Fang Hua's situation, because Haoyue knows that Fang Hua is now His ability is not outstanding, and he is most likely to be used as cannon fodder if he takes on the mission from the Four Holy Churches or the Hall of Light.
"If nothing happens now, I can..."
"Deadwood, you must be careful!"
Haoyue spoke to Kumu in a cautious tone. Kumu thought that Haoyue was asking him to pay attention when he went to the home of forging, but then Haoyue told Kumu about the denormalization experiment.
"That experiment was terrifying, and it seemed to have something to do with your parents."
The people in the Investigation Department are never idle. While Kumu is in the dark realm, they are also desperately investigating. This is the first time Kumu has heard news about his parents since he was a child, and Kumu can't help but be moved.
"Are they still alive?"
"It's possible that if this experiment has something to do with your parents, then the reason why they participated may... have something to do with you?"
Now it seems that the time when Kumu's parents left Kumu is around the time when Kumu's first ability exploded. After that, Kumu's life began to change, and his parents also left Kumu. If it is true as Teacher Haoyue said, then Kumu's parents want to To remove the power from the dead wood.
Haoyue knew the weirdness of Dead Wood's ability. It would be more likely if this ability had ever brought any trouble to Dead Wood.
"Yes teacher."
Listening to Haoyue sighing, Kumu told Haoyue that he had indeed caused a lot of harm because of his ability.
"Well! You should be mentally prepared first, because if you really have to confront your parents later, I hope you won't stand opposite us!"
Haoyue flew up and patted Kumu on the shoulder, telling Kumu in advance because he wanted Kumu to be mentally prepared in advance.
Xue Zhi looked at the silent Kumu and didn't know what to say. She could only watch silently. If possible, she would like to share the burden in Kumu's heart now.
("It seems like he hasn't had a good rest since I met Kumu. Things are happening one after another, and he is running around because of his ability. Fortunately, there is no big danger under the protection of Teacher Haoyue... I feel that Kumu is useful. The same endless energy.")
"It's okay. You can just ask your parents when the time comes. Besides, you and I both have special abilities. Isn't what we have been doing all the time to understand our own abilities?"
Fortunately, Yukiori had some of the same feelings. Just because his parents participated in an experiment that subverted the world, he couldn't care less about everything he had done before.
"Yes, after all, I have worked hard for my abilities for so long!"
Kumu rubbed his face and felt that he had regained some feeling.
When the supernatural power came to the world, it caused turmoil, but now it is finally stable. If the supernatural power is removed, it will definitely cause turmoil again, and the world will become a purgatory by then.
"Don't worry, the tasks assigned to us by Teacher Haoyue will be completed!"
Kumu said goodbye to Haoyue and prepared to check on Mengze.
"I'll go with you!"
Yukiori moved his body. After working for so long, it was time to stretch his muscles.
"Hmph..."
Looking at the two people full of youthful vitality, Haoyue smiled meaningfully.
"You two should cultivate your relationship more and increase your tacit understanding. When you can freely control your abilities, you will be able to overcome all difficulties. I was sad for a long time when Yukiori didn't catch up with you!"
In fact, it was more of a pity that Xuezhi was only a little sad, but Haoyue only added some fuel and jealousy to promote the relationship.
"Teacher, what did you say?"
Xuezhi's face turned red all of a sudden. She covered her face and turned her back to the dead tree. From time to time, she turned her head halfway towards the dead tree, and then immediately turned away like a scared kitten.
"this……"
Kumu can receive the interest in Haoyue's words. Does it turn out that cultivating feelings is in that direction?
Haoyue didn't know that these words made Kumu not know how to talk to Xuezhi next. The embarrassment before was fine, but now there is something even more embarrassing.
"Let's go!"
Now I can only go to Mengze’s home to have a look.
Along the way, the two of them almost turned their heads to one side without saying anything. They secretly turned their heads to each other and then secretly turned back again, and the cycle continued.
After a period of journey, Kumu also successfully arrived at Mengze's home.
On the way, Kumu bought condolences for Mengze, hoping that what he had done in the dark realm had not had a great impact on Mengze.
After knocking on the door for a while, a little lolita with fried hair like a red panda opened the door. At this time, the little lolita was holding a bear doll in her hand. It looked like she had not rested for several days.
This is the first time that Mengze looks so weak and cute, but Mu Mu has seen it for the first time. The Mengze he usually sees is neat and energetic, although this reason should be caused by himself.
"Who are you?" Mengze asked with a yawn.
Mengze, who is now listless, seems to be so confused that he can't even recognize the dead wood after cultivating the immortal. Mengze's eyes are now blurry.
Kumu patted Mengze's small shoulder, "It's my fault for making you worry, but if you rub your eyes and take a good look at me now, you should feel better afterward!"
Now Mengze was very obedient, rubbed his eyes, and took a good look at Qiang.
Finally, the vision in front of Mengze gradually became clear from blur.
"Wither! Wood?"
