Barrier of Light

"Introduce yourself."

"Qin Ye... comes from Central Continent, Tower of Origin."

The underground secret passage is very wet and full of mud, but this man's body is extremely clean. He puts his hands in his pockets and stands in the dim light. Above is the shaft leading to the ground. His windbreaker moves forward in the breeze flowing in the secret passage. It fell, flowing and shaking like a liquid, as if it might splash into ink at any time.

Gu Shen stared at the man in front of him.

He protected his wife.

However... Qin Ye didn't take action.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill anyone."

Qin Ye stretched out his hands and slowly raised them. The ten fingers of this man were very slender and as white as a woman's hands.

The hands touched the air, as if stirring the water of the lake.

There are invisible ripples rippling.

"The one responsible for the action is still up there...but he should be here soon. I'm just taking care of the prey for him." Qin Ye looked at his wife and said in a very soft voice: "By the way, I want to say hello."

"I've seen you……"

Lu Nanzhi narrowed her eyes.

She stared intently at the man in the trench coat in front of her, recalling a certain moment many years ago... There will always be similar memories in a person's life. At a certain moment, she met someone who "remains fresh in the memory", and then that person never He disappears in his life without realizing it. It is not until he appears again that he suddenly remembers that he has seen "him" before.

It was originally a meaningless encounter.

Because of the reunion... it became meaningful.

"Yes." Qin Ye saw the change in Madam's expression and smiled: "We have met before."

The lady gritted her teeth.

She can't remember clearly...

"Ten years ago, you showed me the way..." Qin Ye smiled, "Can't you remember it at all now?"

Lu Nanzhi was stunned.

She remembered.

On a rainy night many years ago, she met a man wearing a long black trench coat, standing at a crossroads in the rain with an umbrella, and asked herself how to get to the old city.

This is a very weird person.

After pointing out the way, the man held an umbrella and left alone.

There seemed to be a very strange power condensing in that man's voice, blocking his memory... Because of the existence of the [Red Gate], Lu Nanzhi did not completely lose this memory, but fought against that strange force. Strength, hold on to this memory.

Until Qin Ye spoke again at this moment, the strange power in the dark was released at this moment.

The dusty memories are awakening little by little.

The Lion Lane case happened the day after the man asked for directions.

If Lao Lu's death... was an "accident", then someone who has the ability to create this "accident" and make it impossible for anyone to find any clues——

Only [Apostles].

The look in her eyes when she looked at Qin Ye changed...from confusion, to shock, and finally to anger.

"Why do you have to look at me like that?"

Qin Ye's voice had no emotion: "I am destined to arrive at Lion Alley, and I am destined to take away his life. All of this is destined... Just like today, you are destined to die."

He slowly reached out and took out a bunch of ancient keys from the inside of his windbreaker.

Lu Cheng's key.

To open the bronze box, you need a key and a password, both of which are indispensable... But when Lao Lu died in Lion Lane, the most important "key" in his body was missing.

See this bunch of keys.

This means...the real culprit in Lion Alley has surfaced.

"...It was you who killed Lao Lu."

The lady was holding one of her sister's arms on her shoulders. She slowly lowered her head, her hair falling loosely and covering her cheeks: "For the lion awakening technique?"

"certainly."

In Qin Ye's eyes, there was nothing special about Lu Cheng. In the mission, such characters were marked as numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 56. He only cared about whether he could complete the mission and did not care who the target of the mission was.

"The mission back then was only half completed. I tried to extract his spirit... But unfortunately, this man's consciousness began to self-destruct the moment I invaded. This should be regarded as the most valuable brain in Dongzhou, right? I only had time to intercept a part of the information, but fortunately this part of the information greatly promoted the Federation's research on 'awakening technology'."

Qin Ye paused, "Hmm...that's what you call the 'Lion Awakening Technique'."

He planned the Lion Alley case and killed the famous and influential Lu Cheng in Dongzhou. He chose to disappear and successfully deceived the public, hiding the truth under the gray fog of history.

Now that I say it again, it is nothing more than one reason.

He has the ability to hide the truth again.

"This time I return to Dadu, I am here for the unfinished mission."

Qin Ye's gentle voice sounded creepy at the moment, "You are Lu Cheng's daughter. Obviously, you know the password to the box... I hope you can cooperate."

He looked at Madam.

When fleeing for his life, he did not forget to take this bronze box with him.

"What if I say no?"

"Then I will invade your spirit, just like I invaded Lu Cheng back then."

"Even if the mission cannot be completed?" Lu Nanzhi said expressionlessly: "I will destroy all memories in an instant, and you will not be able to get a single bit of information from my consciousness..."

"..."

Qin Ye was silent for a brief moment and said, "Maybe you underestimated me."

"Or maybe you underestimated me." Madam returned this sentence coldly, "You can give it a try."

The dead silence underground lasted less than ten seconds.

Qin Ye smiled.

"No...ma'am, you understand wrong."

He shook his head, "What I want to say is that maybe you underestimated my bottom line. As the [Apostle] of the Tower of Source, my mission is to burn everything for the future of mankind. In order to complete this mission, I will do whatever it takes." Means, price.”

Qin Ye gently shook the key in his hand.

"I said... it's not my mission to kill you."

"My task is to open this bronze box. And you know the password and the way to open the box." Qin Ye smiled softly: "Judging from the situation tonight, you will die no matter what. Maybe you don't care about death, nor do you care about death." The destruction of the box information, but you always have other things you care about..."

A person who doesn't care about his own life.

There are often things you care about more.

Qin Ye's eyes fell on Gu Shen and then on the unconscious Lu Nanjin.

Not hard to guess.

"If you don't cooperate, I will destroy everything you care about." Qin Ye said calmly: "If you are willing to cooperate, then I can promise... these two people will not have to die."

Through these few words, Lu Nanzhi was convinced.

The [Apostles] of the Tower of Source cannot be called human beings.

At least the man in front of him was not "the same kind" as him. Qin Ye was like an emotionless robot. He had completely abandoned his own emotions and no longer had sympathy, mercy, or kindness.

"Why should I trust you?"

"You don't have to believe it."

Qin Ye spoke calmly and said, "I'm not here to negotiate with you. You just need to give your own answer...cooperate or not."
