There was a goblin who was imprisoned on the seventh floor of the Shushan Demon Locking Tower. One day, she met a Shushan disciple, and sparks were generated for some reason. The Shushan disciple said, I want to go down to the first floor, and when I come back after completing my mission, I will Take you away!
So, she stayed there waiting for him to come back.
Until one day, someone came to the seventh floor of the Demon Locking Tower and met her.
She told the visitor that she was waiting for someone here. The visitor asked her how long she had been waiting, and she said not long, only three hundred years.
The visitor was shocked and told her very realistically that people's lifespan could not live that long. In three hundred years, that person would have died long ago.
She didn't want to admit it, so she gave them a key, which could open a stone door and let them pass to the next level. She asked them to do one thing. If the person on the first level was really dead, help her bring him back. If she doesn't see the evidence, she won't believe that the person is dead...
When they arrived underneath to complete their mission, they saw the skeletons of the Shushan disciples.
It is said that no rational player will go back in time for the system reward; emotional players cannot bear to wait for the ice crystal girl who has been waiting for three hundred years and spend an extra half hour to send it back in time.
If she fulfills her promise and is sent back to the seventh floor, when she sees the skeleton, she will recognize it as the Shushan disciple, then turn into nothingness, and finally only say one sentence: He is really dead, he did not lie to me...
This is a story about waiting. The protagonist of the story is not famous. He is just a dispensable side quest on the seventh floor of "Sword of Immortal III"~Demon Locking Tower~...
Waiting is not difficult; what is difficult is the uncertain waiting.
After listening to Phoenix's words, Levi's heart was slightly touched. He didn't necessarily make this call. He had found a reason to call just now, but now he was glad that he made the call.

The two were silent for a moment, and Phoenix laughed: "Did I call you confused? Haha, you must have thought that I was pretending to lie to you again, right?"
"No, I was just thinking...if I knew you would wait for my call, I would have called you earlier." Levis also smiled.
"Actually, I'm telling the truth. We were enemies at first, and then we cooperated, or took advantage of each other. If we cooperate successfully, we each get what we need and win-win. And you caught me once, and I also pretended to be your girlfriend and went to your house to cause trouble. Basically, everyone is indebted to me. I had no choice but to come to Hong Kong this time and was unhappy, but now I am very happy to have met you during this trip.
Haha, don’t think wrongly, I don’t have many friends, but I regard you as a friend... Therefore, I have never thrown away this phone, and I have never left it. I am waiting for your call to see if you regard me as my friend. Friend." Phoenix said calmly.
"Of course, I also regard you as a friend. I just got home from the police academy and when I found out you were gone, I called you tonight."
"I don't believe you just know it now. Hehe, it was your parents who told you, right? They were worried that I would have no money in Hong Kong and would be disadvantaged if I couldn't find a job... The people in your family are very good. You know very well that I just wanted to I wanted to avoid the limelight and take revenge on you for arresting me, but after living here for a while, I really felt that they treated me very well. I was afraid of hurting you, so I moved out on my own."
Phoenix said it jokingly at first, but then became very sincere. There was also a trace of aftertaste and envy in his words.
Levi was a little surprised. He thought she had passed the limelight and had the chance to leave, but he didn't expect that she was afraid of hurting her family! Thinking about it, it may have faded now, but a month ago, it was still a time when the limelight was tight.
"What about now? Didn't you say that everything is fine? Do you plan to come back and say goodbye to them before leaving? You also know that you were very successful in pretending to be a mainland girl, and they all thought you were raising money to return to the mainland." Levis smiled.
laugh.
Phoenix laughed playfully: "Last time, I went over to make trouble for you without informing you. Now what you're saying...does this mean you're taking the initiative to invite me to your home?"
"Whatever you want to understand."
"Okay, I will go. Hehe, by the way, let me tell you, I am not pretending to be good, I am the mainland girl you mentioned, but in the past few years... you also know what I do, so I don't live in the same place.
A long time to travel around the world."
"I thought you were overseas Chinese, but I didn't expect you were from the mainland. By the way, I just heard from my partner that you had done some big cases. Is there anything you can show off and hear?" Originally, he just slapped you.
Ask, but now that everyone is friends, he has more topics to talk about and can learn more about her.
"What did I do? There are police files in various places, but I don't have many records. Because usually, I don't leave marks, and no one can find any clues. I only leave them when I retrieve the national treasure.
Phoenix mark." Phoenix said proudly.
What does it mean to "do a job and love a job?" You must have a sense of professional honor.
"National treasure? Get it back?" Levis was a little surprised.
"It is not the national treasure of other countries, it is the national treasure lost by China. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, first the British and French coalition forces raided the Old Summer Palace, and then the Eight-Power Allied Forces captured Beijing. At that time, Western countries took away countless treasures from China. During the Republic of China, China took advantage of the
Due to internal and external troubles, countless cultural treasures were looted from the newly discovered Dunhuang..."
Speaking of this, Phoenix was slightly excited.
“In addition to many of the things snatched from China being openly collected in the British Museum, the Louvre and other places, some were sold privately and collected privately by the invader soldiers, so many of them are still among the people.
Over the past century, Chinese national treasures have continued to leak out of the market, and some wealthy patriotic businessmen have spent huge sums of money to buy them back. In the past few years, I have also taken action to get them back from Westerners."
Phoenix laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's not like Hollywood makes movies, and there's nothing I can do about places like the Louvre. So, what can be retrieved now are the private national treasures that have leaked out on the market. Although today's collectors
It may also have been bought with money, but no Westerners are willing to return it to China. For their ancestors' banditry, they still call it safekeeping for China. Now I don't feel guilty about taking it back secretly."
Only then did Levis understand the meaning of the "Phoenix" logo. It was not just the personal identity symbol of an international thief. The Phoenix is ​​China's sacred bird and one of the national totems. This represents the Chinese people's retrieval of their national treasure!
Although Phoenix's behavior is illegal, her spirit, like those collectors and patriotic wealthy businessmen who spend huge sums of money to buy back national treasures from overseas, is worthy of the respect of the Chinese people.
"Haha, don't be afraid that I will embezzle it. We are not short of money! These national treasures will gradually return to Chinese museums at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way." Phoenix said this with a hint of idealism in his tone.
Chapter completed!
