Volume 2: Empire Chapter 179 Cat and Mouse Game
By nightfall, the two golden men who had come to claim Elder Chun's body had not left yet.
After Qingkong's reading time was over, he went to class, and after class it was time for reading again. In short, he had no time to meet them. If they were not outnumbered, the two shining gold men would have taken action long ago.
Now we can only urge them in various ways.
Butler Fitch remained gentlemanly in the face of the two furious Golden Men: "Gentlemen, it is useless for you to embarrass me. Without Miss Clear Sky's order, I cannot hand over anything in the museum to you."
"Then let us meet the Queen of Clear Sky!"
Fitch smiled elegantly and said, "Now it's Miss Clear Sky's reading time."
"This is just an excuse for you not wanting to return Elder Chun's body to us. I ask you to immediately convey the warning of the Golden Man to Queen Qingkong. Anyone who destroys Elder Chun's body without the permission of the Golden Elders' Council will face extremely serious consequences."
"I think Miss Qingkong is very clear about this, and she certainly values the friendly relationship with the Shining Gold People. But now is Miss Qingkong's reading time, and it is not convenient to disturb her."
"you……"
Fitch comforted the two Golden Men, "Please be patient. If you feel bored, you can visit the collections in our museum. Our collections here are mainly artifacts from ancient civilizations, some of which are related to Golden Men. Perhaps you can help us fill in some of the missing information."
"We are not interested in the collections here. We want to see the Queen of Clear Sky."
"I'm sorry... I just remembered something. There is a new exhibit today, and I need to arrange for someone to put it in the exhibition area. Please excuse me while I'm away for a while. You can get the drinks and alcohol here as you like."
Fitch saluted gracefully to the two golden men, then walked towards the exhibition hall on the first floor.
In the central exhibition area on the first floor, a life-size crystal figure sculpture was being taken out of a wooden box by four museum staff members.
Fitch immediately walked closer and nervously reminded, "Be careful, be careful. This is an exhibit that Miss Qingkong specifically reminded me of. It is very valuable... and very beautiful!"
When the crystal sculpture was erected, Fitch couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He walked to the front of the sculpture and carefully admired the details.
The sculpture had just been taken out of the box, and it was covered in dust and the straw used to fill the box was still sticky. Fitch squeezed off the straw and said to the staff, "Take away the box and irrelevant items, and then go home. I'll do the cleaning. I'm worried about you doing it."
The staff simply cleaned up and left with the wooden box.
Fitch took out the tools used to clean cultural relics and prepared to work overtime to clean the crystal sculpture in preparation for the opening of the exhibition tomorrow.
At this time, Qingkong was in her office, and she had summoned several important people from the museum and the college.
Bruce Ben, Jennifer, Modesty, Kalhain, the sheriff, and the angel Crown of Thorns who came to work.
Qingkong activated the Ice Crystal Eye and identified the people in the room one by one. After confirming that they were all real people, he cast a spell to seal the space in the room.
"I set up a large-scale secret spell in the museum tonight, waiting for two mice to come. However, these two mice are quite strong, and if they make too much noise, it will affect the students' rest.
Your task is to protect the student dormitory area and prevent panicked rats from rushing in."
The sheriff squatting on the desk raised his front paws, revealing his sharp claws. "Just two mice, Your Majesty, the task of catching mice should be left to professional cats."
The Crown of Thorns, who had been standing behind the door since entering, said, "Your Majesty is just using mice as a metaphor. It is very appropriate. The Shadow Tribe are indeed like mice and never dare to fight us angels face to face."
The sheriff, who was also from the Shadow Clan, showed a fierce look: "Angel, are you provoking me? I am the queen's mount. Provoking me is equivalent to provoking Her Majesty the Queen!"
The Crown of Thorns was frightened by the sheriff who was bullying others. He immediately apologized to Qingkong: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to offend you. I hope you can let me participate in the battle to capture the Shadow Clan. They will all get justice!"
The Crown of Thorns didn't want to miss the opportunity to fight against the Shadow Clan, so much so that he forgot his identity here.
Clear Sky said to the Crown of Thorns who requested to fight: "Today I met Archangel Gold, and he made it clear to me that the angels will not be involved in the conflict with the Shadow Tribe."
Hearing that Archangel Gold actually had this attitude, Crown of Thorns was indignant: "Archangel Gold has no awareness of being an angel at all! The Shadow Tribe assassinated the elder of the Shining Gold People, which is a declaration of war against the Shining Gold People. We were allies with the Shining Gold People during the ancient wars. How can we watch our allies fight alone?"
Qingkong looked at the crown of thorns... young, passionate, and had a mysterious yearning for war.
At this time, the Crystal Man Deep Sleep sent a message : "He's here, in the hall, very close to me, very close!"
In the lobby on the first floor of the museum, Fitch was concentrating on cleaning the crystal sculpture. He first used a soft brush to sweep away the dust on the sculpture, then sprayed a special cleaning agent on the sculpture and repeatedly rinsed it with water, and finally wiped the sculpture dry with a deerskin towel.
When wiping, he will also observe carefully with a magnifying glass. If he finds any dust left, he will immediately repeat the previous steps. He will never allow tiny scratches to appear on the sculpture during the cleaning process, nor will he allow any dirt to remain on the surface of the sculpture.
Fitch was so absorbed in his work that he forgot the time until someone called his name from behind him: "Fitch, when will this statue be cleaned?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Fitch immediately turned around and said, "Ms. Clear Sky, I will be able to clean it up in about an hour. When the sun shines in tomorrow, it will definitely be the most dazzling exhibit in the entire exhibition area."
Fitch showed the results of his labor to the clear sky. Even under the light, the luster of the crystal sculpture was still extremely bright.
Qingkong was very satisfied with Feiqi's work. She nodded and asked, "Are those two shining gold men still here?"
Fitch looked at the stairs leading to the second floor warily and whispered, "Ms. Qingkong, they haven't left yet. They have been waiting for your summons in the lounge on the second floor. It seems that they will not leave all night unless they take away the body of the elder of the Shining Gold."
"Then let them wait. Where did you put the body of the elder of the Shining Gold?"
Fitch replied: "According to your instructions, the body is stored in the cold storage in the back building."
"Take me to see it."
"Yes, Miss Clear Sky."
Fitch had no doubt about the Qingkong in front of him. When he put down the cleaning tools in his hands and prepared to take Qingkong to the cold storage in the back building, another Qingkong walked out of the building entrance.
“I once heard a master assassin say this: When an assassin is extremely confident in his assassination skills, then his death is imminent.
I set up a trap here, and I thought you would test it very carefully, but I didn't expect you to walk in so brazenly.
I don't know how to describe my mood.
I was happy that I caught you so easily, but also sad that you were caught so easily.
It seems that the thousand years of peace have not only made the people of the Shining Gold lose their vigilance, but your business capabilities have also seriously declined."
Fitch looked at the two Qingkongs at a loss: "Ms. Qingkong, Miss Qingkong, what happened?"
Qingkong, who was standing next to Feiqi, showed a disdainful smile, and then turned into a caveman: "Do you think I didn't guess that this is a trap? Since I can get in, I can get out. You should worry about yourself. In order to lure me here, you lied that you found the body of the elder of the shining gold man.
Now the Shining Gold people are asking you for it, let me see what you can give them."
The underground man was not in a hurry to escape. He waited for the human-faced servant to approach from underground to help him escape.
Qingkong certainly knew what the underground people were thinking. She was also waiting for the human servants to come closer so that she could capture them in one fell swoop.
A whirlpool appeared on the ground beside Qingkong, and a coffin emerged upright from the whirlpool.
Qingkong put his hand on the lock of the coffin lid, smiled and asked the crypt dweller: "You said that I didn't find the body of the elder of the shining gold man, so what do you think is in it?"
Looking at the coffin next to Qingkong, the underground man finally showed a nervous look: "Did you really find it? This is impossible, it was buried deep underground by me, you can't find it so quickly!"
Qingkong said, "What's the answer? Let's open it and see. Fitch, you open it."
Hearing Qingkong's order, Fitch responded instinctively: "Yes, Miss Qingkong..."
Then Fitch realized that there was an extremely dangerous guy next to him. He looked at the Cryptman worriedly, and seeing that he had no intention of attacking him, he slowly walked towards Qingkong.
He walked very carefully and didn't feel relieved until he returned safely to Qingkong.
At this time, Fitch's clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.
But Fitch remained calm. He saluted to the clear sky, then slowly opened the coffin lid with both hands.
The underground man stared at the coffin, and his expression changed from tense and holding his breath to relieved and then a mocking look appeared on his face again.
“Queen Clear Sky, you are a great actress, but if you want to fool me, you should at least put a dead body prop inside. It’s just an empty coffin… But you did scare me just now.”
Qingkong said calmly, "Did I say that this coffin contains the body of the elder of the Shining Gold? I prepared this coffin specially for you. There is another coffin for your accomplice."
When the underground man heard Qingkong mention that he had an accomplice, he knew that his background had long been known to the other party.
Now the question is not whether Qingkong has found the body of the elder of the Shining Gold People, but whether he can escape from here.
At this time, the human-faced servant had already moved to the bottom, and the underground man instantly used his burrowing skills to escape underground. However, when his hands touched the floor tiles, he touched something surprisingly hard.
crystal!
The underground man found that the surface of the floor tiles on the first floor was covered with a layer of crystal. Moreover, this crystal was not an ordinary crystal. The magic released by the underground man-face servant had no effect on the crystal, and his powerful skills just now did not leave any cracks on it.
What is this?
At this time, Qingkong asked, "Where is the human-faced servant?"
The Crypt Man yelled, "I won't tell you!"
Qingkong sneered: "I'm not asking you."
A voice answered at this moment: "Right down there."
The caveman looked behind him following the sound and found that the crystal sculpture had come alive.
Butler Fitch was also stunned by the scene.
After he wiped it, the sleeping body of the crystal man had a luster that had never been seen before. He looked at his body and was very satisfied with Fitch's craftsmanship.
Qingkong said, "Leave this underground man to me, and the underground human-faced man to you, is that ok?"
"As long as your butler helps me clean myself, I have no problem with that."
Fitch responded professionally: "Sir, I am happy to serve you. When you come back, I will give you a layer of water wax."
"I'm looking forward to it..." After saying that, the crystal man sank into the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, the clear sky recited the secret code: "Night at the Museum."
The lights in the museum went out at the same time, and when they were lit again, the museum still looked like the same museum, but the underground people could sense that the current museum was no longer the same museum.
"Miss Clear Sky!" A gust of cold wind made Fitch shout softly.
Qingkong said, "Go wait for me outside first."
Clear Sky gave a gentle push and Fitch retreated and disappeared.
The ancient rock machete was held in his hand, and as his right arm glowed, the entire blade burned with holy flames.
Qingkong walked towards the caveman step by step, and pieces of golden armor were fastened on her body one by one.
Such a scene made the underground people exclaim: "You, you are the shining gold man!"
At this moment, Qingkong's eyes changed drastically, and his humorous smile carried a chilling murderous intent: "I didn't want to ruin his banquet that day and let you go. You don't think I really n't do anything to you.
This time I spread the word that I found Elder Chun's body, but not only did you not run away, you even dared to come to confirm it. You are truly an unqualified assassin.
Now that you are here, stay. That coffin is perfect for you!"
The caveman lowered his body, and the sharp blades extended from the fingertips of his hands. The powerful mental power formed ripples and crashed towards Qingkong. At the same time, he discovered the changes in Qingkong: "You are not Qingkong, who are you?"
Qingkong, who was covered in golden armor, said: "Didn't you just say that I am a Sparkling Gold Man. Since you killed the elder of the Sparkling Gold Man, I will take revenge as a Sparkling Gold Man."
Qingkong took a step forward, closing the remaining distance between her and the Crypt Man. The machete slashed down, and the white holy flame turned into solid gold. The blade broke through the air, whistling like a strong wind.
Facing this powerful attack, the Crypt Man used all his strength to leap backwards. After dodging the slash, his body moved sideways against inertia, and disappeared behind a booth.
The Shadow Clan is not good at head-on combat; hiding, sneaking, and waiting for opportunities to attack are their attack modes, which are simple yet very effective.
A game of cat and mouse begins.
