Bulwark of Light

Chapter 224 The Bronze Box
"Introduce yourself."

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

The underground secret passage is very wet and full of mud, but this man's body is extremely clean. He stands with his hands in his pockets under the dim light. Above is the shaft leading to the ground. The windbreaker moves forward in the breeze flowing in the secret passage. Falling, 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 protects Mrs.

However... Qin Ye didn't do anything.

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

Qin Ye stretched out his hands and lifted them up slowly. The man's ten fingers were very slender, as white as a woman's hands.

These hands touched the air as if they were stirring the water of the lake.

There are invisible ripples.

"The one in charge is still up there...but he should be here soon. I just look after the prey for him." Qin Ye looked at his wife and said softly, "By the way, say hello."

"I've seen you……"

Lu Nanzhi narrowed her phoenix eyes.

She stared at the man in the windbreaker 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 a person with a "fresh memory", and then that person never Disappeared in life without realizing it, until it reappeared, I would suddenly remember that I had seen "him".

It was a meaningless encounter.

It became meaningful because of the reunion...

"Yeah." Qin Ye saw the change in Madam's expression, and smiled, "We've seen each other before."

Madam gritted her teeth.

She can't remember...

"Ten years ago, the road you showed me..." 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 in a long black trench coat, standing at a crossroad in the rain with an umbrella, and asked herself how to get to the old city.

This is a very weird person.

After pointing the way, that person left alone with an umbrella.

In that person's voice, there seemed to be a very strange force that blocked his memory...Because of the existence of [Red Gate], Lu Nanzhi did not completely lose this memory, but resisted the 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.

Dust-laden memories are awakening bit by bit.

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

If it is said that Lao Lu's death...was an "accident", then he has the ability to create this "accident" and prevent everyone from finding any clues—

Only 【Apostle】.

The way she looked at Qin Ye changed... from bewildered, to shocked, and finally to angry.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

There was no emotion in Qin Ye's voice: "I am destined to arrive at Lion Lane, and I am also destined to take 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 old keys from the inside of the 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 Alley, the most important "key" he had was missing.

See this bunch of keys.

It also means...the real murderer of Lion Lane back then has surfaced.

"...You killed Lao Lu."

The lady carried one of her sister's arms on her shoulders, and she slowly lowered her head, her hair scattered, covering her cheeks: "For the lion's awakening technique?"

"of course."

In Qin Ye's eyes, there was nothing special about Lu Cheng. In the task, such a person was marked as No. [-]. He only cared about whether he could complete the task, and didn't care who the target of the task was.

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

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

He planned the Lion Lane case back then and killed Lu Cheng, who was very famous and influential in Dongzhou. He chose to disappear and successfully deceived the public, hiding the truth under the fog of history.

Saying it again now is nothing more than a reason.

He has the ability to hide the truth again.

"I came back to Dadu this time because of the unfinished task."

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

He looks at Mrs.

When fleeing for his life, he did not forget to take the 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 you can't complete the task?" Lu Nanzhi said expressionlessly, "I will destroy all the 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, "Perhaps you underestimated me."

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

The dead silence in the ground lasted less than ten seconds.

Qin Ye smiled.

"No... ma'am, you misunderstood."

He shook his head, "What I want to say is that maybe you have underestimated my bottom line. As the [Apostle] of the Tower of Origin, my task is to burn everything for the future of mankind. In order to complete this task, 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 how 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, and you don't care about it." The destruction of the box information, but you always have other things you care about..."

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

There are often things that matter 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 die."

Through these few words, Lu Nanzhi was already convinced.

The [Apostle] of the Tower of Origin cannot be called a human being.

At least the man in front of him is not "similar" to himself. Qin Ye is like an emotionless robot. He has completely discarded his own emotions, and no longer has sympathy, pity, and kindness.

"Why should I trust you?"

"You don't have to believe it."

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