Twilight Speaker

Chapter 55: Madmen, interrogation, and secret societies

"Shhh."

"I am the devil."

The tall, elegant man in a formal suit smiled and spoke, then jumped down from a tall building. With a heavy step, Li Dongyun coughed up blood and retreated violently, his expression extremely solemn:
"Mad man! What on earth do you want to do?!"

"he he he he he!"

He laughed, he spun, he danced, and one after another, the members of the Fire Gate had their throats torn and died.

Li Dongyun's eyes turned red, he bent his knees and waist, his body was like a bow and arrow, creating a circle of white air waves, and rushed towards the madman!
"I'm so scared."

The madman spun in circles and exploded into a ball of mist with a bang. In an instant, he appeared in another ball of mist a hundred meters away. His sharp nails scratched the throats of one Fire Gate member after another, and he walked away singing and dancing.

"Li Dongyun, you are amazing."

Before leaving, the madman spoke in praise, and pulled out the head and spine of the last Fire Gate member. Blood splattered on his face like mottled oil paint.

The madman held the base of the spine and swung the skull soldier fiercely towards Li Dongyun who was shot by an arrow, as if he was wielding a meteor hammer!

His head exploded, and the terrifying force knocked Li Dongyun back violently, with his legs plowing long grooves on the ground!
"This kind of force." Li Dongyun's expression was gloomy: "Are you walking on the old road?"

"you guess?"

A cloud of fog exploded again, and the madman disappeared in the fog, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and Li Dongyun who was breathing slightly.

……

Far away.

The top of the building.

In the shade of the water tank, the fog exploded and an elegant man walked out of the fog.

He picked up the phone:
"It's me. Why, my sweetheart slept with several men again?"

"She's dead? Beaten into a bloody mess? Hahahaha."

The elegant madman smiled elegantly, crying while laughing:

"The terrifying giant? Chen Xiang? What an ugly name. He is very big? Is he as big as me? I want to meet him! I want to meet his family and bring my most sincere and caring regards!"

The madman crushed the phone, jumped off the top of the building, and glided towards a riverside villa in the south.

His eagle-like eyes spanned more than ten kilometers and he clearly saw the short woman pushing a boy in a wheelchair back to the villa.

"I'm coming~"

The madman uttered a whisper that sounded like crying and laughing, and the whisper drifted away in the wind.

at the same time.

"I won't be back for lunch, so you have to eat more. Salem, did you hear me?" Chen Shaoyan asked.

"I know, I know, it's so verbose."

Lu Sarah muttered and looked calmly at the northern sky.

He looked away, his expression unchanged.

………………

Jiuhuan, Zenith Hotel.

Li Xiaotong was silent for a long time before he lowered his head and spoke:
"My father's lineage has always been cursed by the evil god. They are born with defects and will be entangled by the demon of knowledge until death."

Chen Xiang listened patiently.

"My father was born lame, and I was born blind in my left eye. Every night, I would hear forbidden whispers. They were knowledge, but also poison, frenzy, rage, and madness."

"When I was six years old, my grandmother transplanted this eye for me. From that day on, all the taboos and whispers disappeared. It was as if the demon of knowledge that whispered was afraid of this eye, but I could also see things that ordinary people could not see."

A look of fear appeared on Li Xiaotong's face:

"I can see that the sun and the red moon are alive, and the white moon is a forbidden palace. I can see the demons of knowledge everywhere in my hometown, the huge shadow of the president of my hometown, and countless balls of light.
Later, my father and mother took me away from my hometown and came to the Great City. It is much better here, without the ubiquitous demons of knowledge and the babbling scholars that ordinary people find difficult to see."

After listening to Li Xiaotong's story, Chen Xiang asked softly, "Where is your hometown?"

"The White Star Nation that believes in the Great Lord of Knowledge."

Chen Xiang was thoughtful:
"Do you know where your grandmother got this eye?"

Li Xiaotong shrank his neck and stammered:

"No, I don't know."

Before she could finish her words, she saw a terrifying figure burning with blazing black flames suddenly approaching her:
"You're lying!"

This hissing sound is so similar to the murmurs of the knowledge demon and the babbling scholars, overlapping each other, as if ten thousand people are shouting at the same time!
Li Xiaotong was so scared that she sat on the ground, her spirit shaken. The emotion of fear was magnified to the peak at this moment. She was like a drowning person, drowning in the river of fear, and she couldn't help but tell the truth:

"My grandmother is the fourteenth seat of the Secret Society. She stole the Eye from the society. We came to the Great City to avoid the society's pursuit."

"The Secret Society? What kind of force is this?"

Chen Xiang stopped communicating with the [Spiritual Mentor] glasses in the rift tattoo, and the sound returned to normal.

The monocle can see into emotions, but it can also manipulate them.

Li Xiaotong gasped and trembled:

"The Secret Society is an underground organization that rebels against the Church of the Temple of Knowledge. It is somewhat similar to the Old Parliament."

Chen Xiang suddenly realized that he had just heard this term mentioned by lecturer Zhu in the course "Study of Mystical Societies and Secret Sects". No wonder it sounded familiar to him.

Since it is an organization that resists the outer gods, I wonder if they can unite?
Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, Lecturer Zhu said that this organization had fallen into decline fifteen years ago, huh?
Chen Xiang's heart moved. Li Xiaotong is twenty-one years old. Wasn't it exactly fifteen years ago that she had this pair of glasses installed when she was six?

"What is the knowledge demon?" he asked.

"I, I don't know."

"Then do you know the importance of your left eye in that secret society?"

Li Xiaotong still shook her head.

Chen Xiang did not continue to ask. This little girl knew very little. Maybe she knew even less than he did.
As he thought about it, his eyes flickered slightly. Li Xiaotong didn't know, but he knew clearly that these eyes were most likely the eyes of a "thinker".

The Secret Society is hostile to the Hall of Knowledge, and naturally to the Thinker. The eye is probably the most important sacred instrument in the society.
It is even a trump card used to fight against the White Star Nation's state religion - the Hall of Knowledge.

With the loss of the eyes, the Secret Society naturally fell into decline.
Well, the [Prophet] is from the White Star Country, and even a member of the Church of the Temple of Knowledge. We can hint at him at the next regular meeting.

Recovering his mind, Chen Xiang looked at Li Xiaotong with a smile:

"Will you tell anyone about today's conversation?"

Li Xiaotong shook her head frantically.

Chen Xiang also shook his head:

"It's always better to be careful. If your family knew about this question, I would be in some trouble."

Li Xiaotong's breathing suddenly became rapid:

"No, don't kill me."

She laughed when she saw this terrifying figure:
"I'm not a bloodthirsty person."

As the words fell, in Li Xiaotong's eyes, the burning figure touched the terrifying crack at the wrist.
Touch the winding river of time.

A rune, a time loop rune that had been engraved in the room on the first day, was quietly activated.

In this small area, in a short period of time, it moved a little bit forward.

'Tuk tuk tuk'

There was a knock on the door. Chen Xiang opened the door dragging his suitcase. Li Xiaotong was standing outside and spoke timidly:
"Teacher Chen, my mother asked me to come and call you. She said she is going to send us back to the Eighth Ring Road."

"Ok."

Chen Xiang smiled and nodded.
