Barrier of Light

Most of them are deserted.

The moon and stars are sparse.

The chill of early winter swept along with the wind, rolling up the thin and dry grass, making a crackling sound of the blades breaking. Looking from a distance, the countless weeds were like a sea of ​​leaves, being fiddled with by a light hand.

Surge, surge again.

A black figure moved forward silently as the sea of ​​leaves surged, like a glider pushed by the sea of ​​leaves.

Her speed was very fast. It only took her ten seconds to cross thousands of meters through the vast haystack and arrive in front of the abandoned old building... But after leaving the haystack, the flying dead leaves no longer helped her. , she left this sea of ​​leaves.

Ye Ningqiu raised his head and stared at the old building calmly.

This is where Chen Mi is imprisoned.

She was like a ghost, standing quietly in front of the old building, not moving or moving, just staring at it for a long time, the black in her eyes seemed to seep out... As if staring like this, she could see through this building. The structure of the old building, every steel bar and wooden frame inside.

She did it because she knew.

The old guy at the tribunal was more cunning than any fox in the world. Since he chose to detain Chen Mei... he would never allow any accidents to happen.

Tonight's freedom dance, all three members of the special investigation team came to the freedom auditorium, which meant that the detention center where Chen Mei was detained was empty.

If...it's just because he is confident that no one can find "here", then it would be very inconsistent with Zhou Jiren's style.

There must be some extraordinary carving that has been prepared in this old building.

Or a powerful extraordinary sealed object.

As long as someone breaks in rashly, they will pay a heavy price.

Stared for a long time.

The dark color in Ye Ningqiu's eyes dissipated little by little, and the building had been dissected and dismantled in her eyes. If there was an "extraordinary area" that could not be dismantled, then she would feel more at ease.

But the reality is surprisingly weird.

There is no mental fog in the whole building. As long as you have a certain amount of mental power, you can analyze and disassemble the cross-section of the building and have a clear view. There are no traps or defenses here.

This is absolute confidence.

And sometimes, this kind of confidence is a kind of stupidity.

…

…

"Bang" sound.

The interrogation room door was kicked open.

Chen Mei, who was lying on his seat with his eyes closed and concentrating, and was playing a sheep-counting game in his mind, suddenly came to his senses. He suddenly sat up straight. When he saw the woman who broke into the conference room, his expression became tense. Become a surprise.

"Aunt Ye..."

This is what Chen Mo has been called since he was very young.

Ye Ningqiu looks very young, but the fact is that she is several years older than Lu Nanzhi, but because she takes good care of herself, her skin is fair and firm for ten years, and she gave birth to a childish baby. Face, that’s why people have this illusion.

"We don't have much time. I'll pick you up."

Ye Ningqiu spoke quickly. She was extremely fast and her skills were very neat. She reached out and pulled out her hairpin from the back of her head, and then gently stroked it.

The indestructible [Holy Wood] was cut in half by a hairpin!

In fact, Zhou Jiren's [Holy Wood] is not an absolutely flawless defense... It can be seen from A-009's escape that the [Holy Wood] does have top-notch binding capabilities, but no matter how you refine your extraordinary spirit, it is just A piece of ordinary vine born in nature will be damaged by corrosion and cut open by sharp objects.

Moreover, the strength of the [Holy Wood] is also related to the distance between its owners.

This old-fashioned unfinished building in the wilderness is thousands of miles away from the Free Auditorium where singing and dancing are now flourishing.

But... no matter how far away they are, Zhou Jiren can sense the status of the [Holy Wood].

Chen Wei stood up and moved his wrists. He took a deep breath and enjoyed the long-lost freedom...Zhou Jiren was really a lunatic. Regardless of his father's status as a council member, he actually locked himself up here under house arrest.

"The [Holy Wood] has been cut, Zhou Jiren has noticed it now." Ye Ningqiu reminded in a low voice, "We need to leave quickly."

Chen did not smile and said, "Did father send you here?"

Ye Ningqiu lowered his eyebrows and nodded.

She looked towards the corridor, and with just one glance, the glass of the corridor of the old building shattered and burst into pieces. Countless leaves surged and swept like a sea tide, rising up to form stairs to welcome the two of them to escape.

"...I'd better take another path."

Seeing the broken glass in the corridor, the corners of Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly, and he recalled a not-so-good memory.

Now he doesn't even think about it.

That explosion, that white ghost-like shadow... was it a real 'past' or a virtual dream?

"Zhou Jiren's [Holy Wood] travels very fast. If he chooses to leave immediately... he can arrive here in fifteen minutes at most." Ye Ningqiu said: "Do you want to be imprisoned again?"

Chen Wei frowned. He vaguely felt something was wrong, but he still chose to evacuate from the corridor with Aunt Ye.

"Boom."

Countless leaves swept across like a tidal wave.

When Chen Wei was very young and had just awakened the [Time Slowing] ability, Ye Ningqiu took him to play like this. In the wilderness of autumn leaves, countless leaves turned into large ships and carried the two of them across.

Ye Ningqiu's ability is the natural type [Withered Grass].

In the metropolis where countless buildings rise from the ground, there is no dead grass, only the torrent of steel, so she has never used her power in front of outsiders, and only a few people know the secret.

Maybe it's because of his own abilities.

Aunt Ye's character is like a withered grass, always revealing a touch of sadness inadvertently.

Chen did not look at Ye Ningqiu, he chuckled softly and said: "Aunt Ye, I always feel that you are a little different today... Today should be the day of the free dance, right? Did you come from the auditorium?"

Ye Ningqiu did not answer, but concentrated on driving Ye Hai, frantically flying towards the distance.

Chen Mei frowned slightly.

He stared carefully at Aunt Ye's neck. This was not the first time he had observed Ye Ningqiu at close range... He didn't feel anything strange in the past, but today, the snow-white neck seemed to be coated with a thick layer of powder. .

This is... makeup powder?

Chen was a little confused, and he heard a very soft voice.

"arrive."

Ye Ningqiu's voice was as pleasant as ever, quiet, like a piece of silent and withering grass.

It revealed a faint, sad, deathly coldness.

Countless blades swept across and rebounded the moment they hit the ground. Tens of millions of dead leaves were already on the ground like blades, ready to strike. The moment the woman's voice spoke, the blades exploded like a tornado.

Chen Mo's pupils suddenly shrank.

He immediately activated [Time Slow].

Not every situation... can be solved with [Time Slow].

What's more, the person who caused this murderous situation was the one who knew him best after watching him grow up for ten years... Aunt Ye.

Overwhelming.

All are dead leaves in late autumn.

Even in the realm of [Time Slowness], these dead leaves were slowed down several times, but they were still enclosed into an airtight iron wall——

There is no way to retreat.

There is no hiding.

Thousands of dead leaves collided in the air, emitting a crisp sound like the trembling of gold and iron.

One after another blood erupted in the storm of dead leaves. After [Time Slow] was turned on, the extremely sharp blades scratched the flesh, like an extremely cruel death penalty.

Lingchi.
