That night, the pet shop closed stop in the evening
Not only was their revenue zero, after their salaries were canceled out, there were also reparations of thirty-seven thousandLuckily, Liu Yi Chen was not in a rush for them to repay their debts, they could return it after they had thetheain, and their situation had worsened
At this ti
“Class Advisor?”
“I heard your day went pretty miserably”
“How did Class Advisor know that? Did you stalk us? Are you that infatuated with me? Since you love me, why don’t you cancel our debts with the Houys ive you a job opportunityIt’s a job with a considerably generous reward”
“What e be doing? Are we going to South Africa to extract blood dia to be lab rats for a newto put on sequined clothing, escorting a chairht out of the scene? Class Advisor, I don’t think I’ll be able to do that”
“…” The other end of the phone went silent for a few seconds, as if he was resisting the urge to hang up, “It has so your Contracts,roo to Lan asked hurriedly, “But Quetzal isn’t here at the moment, I don’t know if I can contact hi”
“He’ll be there to day was in coht, just a scattered safety indicator light e the darkness with so out from the office deep into the corridor, a sweet and eous aria, acco mellifluously around the rooure in the roo at the documents before him coolyHe had become ahen his visitor stepped onto the end of the ay, but that was not enough for hi mindful of it
“Even if you worked overti day, there wouldn’t be overti said lowlyHe watched the solitary figure behind the office desk, thick stacks of case files placed on the table and low cabinet, those were the case records of the three great clubs
Quetzal continued flipping through the docuht?”
In the past, Quetzal would patrol under the concealht each day, and not just within this city, even the other cities were filled with his footprints
Quetzal flicked his finger, the shadow behind hi to curl into a circle, and the shadowy circle spat out a yellow bird with a single eye
He said coldly, “So you can keep this toy of yours away…”
The bird flew back to Yin Su Shuang, descending upon his palm, and turned back into a piece of seal paper with a feather stuck on it
“I have to thank you for helping us clean up our s on the seat opposite Quetzal, not a hint of gratefulness heard in his tone, “But you’re not being subtle enoughRumors had started to circulate, quite a nu paths to ask questions on the eastern islandsThey’ve even given you a title, ‘The Sphinx of the Night Alleys’”
The Sphinx was a beast with a huyThey would ask any human who stumbled into their labyrinth a riddle, and those who answered incorrectly would die
This was precisely the sahtThe difference was that his prey was not of hu things under the influence of Shadow Acade since known that his whereabouts would be traced
“The miemoshi+ will conceal their own appearance, every uises and fake identitiesThe one you captured was just one of hisat Yin Su Shuang, “State your purpose then”
A Su information on thethrough
“Do you want to take on the job as an investigator directly under the Shadow Acade didn’t beat around the bush, “There are too many Summoners and demons in the human world, it is beyond the association’s influence, so they open quite a few ency to takeThe Director hopes you can undertake these missions under the Shadow Acade”
“Of course, you guys are , you’re not even qualified to beco smiled coldly, “This is not compulsory, just like any bounty mission can be freely taken part inIf it succeeds, you can take the reward le cent”
Quetzal listened in silence
“Don’t you think this is pretty a? There’s reward money for you to obtain, and you have a chance to search for more informationI heard that your co htly
Those guys were just too absorbed in the matters of the human world…
The human world was a place that would easily cause various creatures to fall froraceIt was the place closest to heaven, the nearest place to the Sovereign God, but it was filled with filth and dirt, you would lose yourself in it if you were not careful
But he would not lose hioal had always been ShuekanHis a hi us?”
“A sword, unsharpened, would rustSince we’ve ascertained the sill not be pointed towards us, we have tolooked at Quetzal, “This is not called helping, it’s gaining mutual benefits fro on the same boat?”
“Yes, but the boat has not departed yetThe direction is still undecided, and the prey we aim to capture is also undetermined”
“Before your boat departs on its journey, it is possible we may have already left”
“How sure are you that yourasked in turn
“I can sense his presence” Quetzal’s hand subconsciously touched his chest, his palht breeze, “In addition, the Third Prince is still in the hu Prince Shuekan, this is definite proof of it”
Yin Su Shuang said softly, “Perhaps, he has anotherhere”
Quetzal’s face darkened, “…What else do you know?”
“I’ht be just a hypothesisWhile the situation is not yet forthright, all conjectures are mere prattleIn short, we are on the same boatBefore it departs, there is no need to overturn it, is there?”
Quetzal did not speak, staring at Yin Su Shuang, it seemed there was still soh
“Athe sunThe seal ht not necessarily be an a at timesIn the eyes of the common people, it would look like a randonize their own seal, only they will know the rah to earn your trust?”
Quetzal stood up slowly, guardedness and hesitance still on his face, but there was an addition of killing intent
“All information on the miemoshi+ are kept confidential, not even the Summoners would be able to learn of it… Why do you know all this?”
Yin Su Shuang raised his eyebrows, “What do you think?”
“Perhaps, you are a miemoshi+,” Quetzal muttered in a low voice, “Perhaps, you are the person who sealed us off twelve years ago…”
The shadows by his feet made an indistinct uproar, the sharp blades hidden within waiting for action, just for their e
Yin Su Shuang sed, pitch-black eyes instantaneously switching to a glier, the bird transforroundIt i the stirring shadows back to the ground“But it’s far fro a deot a whiff of a fa
Yin Su Shuang was not a htly astonished, he never thought there would be a demon who could conceal his de so much like a human
“The human world ishere for long periods of time co, Yin Su Shuang took the initiative to speak“Whether it’s an evolution or a fall frorace, nobody knows”
The four corners of the residence were surrounded by the courtyard, and facing the sun was coincidentally on the side of the main entrance
Quetzal stood by the front courtyard, staring at the garden filled with flowers and plantsThe tender and beautiful flowers, as well as that entire laere the results of Dongya’s attentive tending
He could control his shadows and electricity, directly digging up the entire patch of earthIt would be quick and convenient, but the flowers and plants would be undoubtedly daed that way
Tsk…
Quetzal’s brorinkled slightly, hesitating for athe shadows on the ground, and the pale hand shi+fted, the shadow of his handthe action, then twisted, diffused, stretched, per the earth
His hand sensed the situation underneath the ground through his shadows, one inch after another, little by little, feeling out for anything foreign materials buried underneath
He could feel that in a certain corner near the house, there seemed to be some sort of matter buried in the dirt
Quetzal walked toward the location he had detected, the pink ca resplendently
He bent his waist, reaching out a hand to brush away the earth, and avoiding the ste under the dirtThree le mark on it
He tossed the tile back into the earth
“Quetzal?”
A light voice carrying so out behind hi Lan standing not too far behind hi only a pair of shorts and slippers, his upper half co Ping Lan appear, he straightened his body and felt some sort of exasperation, but at the same time, as if out of a subconscious reaction, a relaxed and relieved feeling appeared quietly
“Are you digging for earthwor? Can I go too? Aiya, how could you dig with your bare hands, it’s beco to
“No need” Quetzal stopped hi I want there”
Feng Ping Lan halted his movements, “I see” Then, he stood up“Then what are you searching for? I can help you!”
Quetzal did not reply i Lan
He was pondering, pondering on the reason why Feng Ping Lan had shown up, pondering on the reason why Feng Ping Lan was so willing to help hi Lan what he was searching for, pondering on whether he should let Feng Ping Lan help
At the sa over a huhts
Feng Ping Lan looked at the silent Quetzal, and also started to ponder
Why wasn’t Quetzal talking? Ah, itany clothes!
A co Lan opened his mouth to explain, “Um, it’s because the weather has been pretty hot lately, I’ll shen I sleep at night, so I’ it, hahaha”
The cold air that had originally been in the rooya wasn’t in his best condition, all the winds had weakenedKaido had bought an air-con, and since they had already paid the electricity bills, there was electricityHe intended on finding Kaido to sleep together, but he had been given a definitive refusalSy
Quetzal still did not speak
Feng Ping Lan scratched his sto his lips into a foolish s for?”
“Have you been keeping watch, waiting for me all this while?” Quetzal threw out this question haphazardly
He had just returned aLan arrivedHe recalled his conversation with Yin Su Shuang
The people at Shadow AcadeHe knew he had been included in that plan, but he wasn’t sure of whom or what that had been planned fro co Lan a spy for the Summoners? The reason why he stayed by their side, was to notify the Su detrimental to them when necessary…
“Oh, nopeI suddenly woke up halfway throughht I’d see you at the front yard! How inconceivable, is there some sort of telepathy between the two of us? Next tier and see if Quetzal will feel a heartache”
Looking at Feng Ping Lan’s stupidly suard
This excuse was extremely rotten, but just because it was too rotten, it made it seem evidently real
“Why do you ask? Ah, could it be that Quetzal wishes for ht Quetzal would miss me so much! If you said it earlier, I would wait for you at the door every day!”
Looking at that excited expression, an absurd notion abruptly entered Quetzal’s thoughts
If he said yes, would Feng Ping Lan really wait for hi Ping Lan went along with it or not, it would cause co in the courtyard?” Feng Ping Lan questioned in turn
“…It has nothing to do with you…” Quetzal spoke out a repetitive answer on reflex
To his surprise, Feng Ping Lan clapped his hands together, “Ha! I guessed right! I kneould you give me that answer!” He revealed a pleased expression that said ‘I’ve caught you’, holding his forefinger in midair to point at Quetzal, “Our synchronization rate has becoher, hehehe!”
Quetzal’s eyebrows crinkled slightly, not coHis search had been cut short, he did not plan on continuing with Feng Ping Lan, and decided to stop for thePing Lan suddenly spoke“Quetzal ht?”
Quetzal halted his footsteps, “How did you know?”
“I guessed” Feng Ping Lan said sly, “Class Rep told us before this, the miemoshi+ would seal afor earthworing in the ht aze on Feng Ping Lan
Feng Ping Lan was not stupidThis was not the first time he had witnessed this hu Lan asked oncefor earthwor for the seal!”
“It’s up to you…” Quetzal twisted his head, walking towards another end of the courtyard, preparing for the next wave of scouring
“Yay yay yay!”
