He thought that Jiufeng was only in his 20s, at most in his thirties, but judging from Yi Zhiyu's age and his description, Jiufeng conservatively estimated that he was in his 40s.

"Because of my master, I can often meet other S-level investigators. At that time, the Snake King had two apprentices, a man and a woman, but compared to me, those two were younger, only about ten years old. , I have a good relationship with them, but it is a pity that I heard that the boy died young, and the girl grew up, and became an A-level just like me."

"Afterwards, with the disappearance of the Snake King, my master Tiger King also passed away, and that girl and I have hardly met each other. The last time we met was during the hunt for the apostle."

Xia Ren thought for a while, then casually said, "Is her name Cang Lan?"

"How do you know?" Yi Zhiyu was a little surprised.

Xia Ren said: "For some reason, I have read the records of that battle. There were three other people who participated in the battle with you. Among them, the female investigator who agreed to the conditions is only Cang Lan."

After a pause, he said, "But as far as I know, Cang Lan seems to have defected during that battle."

"Yes."

Yi Zhiyu said without hesitation: "At that time, she was still carrying the panacea that was supposed to be used to destroy the apostles, but in order to save me, she used the potion on me, so I survived and became S class."

Xia Ren nodded and listened to him continue.

"I never believed that Cang Lan would betray the foundation, so I have been quietly tracking her since then. I heard that she joined the Wizarding Union, but I saw that wizard last night and asked him about Cang Lan's specific movements. But I was told that she disappeared some time ago."

After Yi Zhiyu finished speaking, before Xia Ren answered, he went on to say, "You must think this is a normal thing. After all, the actions of wizards are unpredictable, and it's okay if they don't know each other's movements. However, The reality is not that simple."

"After becoming S-rank, especially when I inherited the title of Tiger King, my authority in the foundation is basically only below that of a doctor, so I know some secrets of the past.

Among the twelve kings, not all those who disappeared died, and the snake king did not die. The containment called the snake god used by Cang Lan was the former snake king. "

Xia Ren's eyes widened: "You mean, the Snake King has become a containment object? How is this possible?"

His first reaction was disbelief.

But then, he thought of the wishing mirror.

The Wishing Mirror is also a storage object, but she is no different from a human being except for her lack of body and personality.

"I asked Jiufeng for confirmation on this point, and I got a positive answer from the other party. The original Twelve Kings were not members of the Foundation. Their origins were rather mysterious. After passing the critical moment, most of the twelve kings disappeared, and Jiufeng was unwilling to tell me where they came from."

Just listening to Xia Ren, he felt that one head was two big. No wonder Yi Zhiyu was full of thoughts. The more he knew, the more likely he was confused.

"You want to track down Cang Lan's whereabouts?"

Yi Zhiyu didn't hide it, and said, "Yes, but I don't know what the result will be if I continue to investigate."

He sensed something, so he was afraid.

The truth is hidden in layers of darkness, like a forbidden Pandora's box. After opening the box, he doesn't know that he can still keep his heart.

Or, become the monster you fear.

Xia Ren pondered for a while, and said, "I know someone who has access to the top level of the Wizards Union, and I can ask you about it then."

Sinny Grant should understand this matter, but since he told him the location of Eibon's study last time, he has never seen him again. I don't know if he has found the study now.

But for Grant, entering the dreamland shouldn't be such a difficult task.

"Then trouble you."

After talking about his thoughts, Yi Zhiyu seemed to relax a lot, chatted for a few more words and left.

Just as he was being sent away, Xia Ren was about to turn back and continue eating his own breakfast, when someone came looking for him unexpectedly.

This time it was Zhu Youqian.

"You must be very curious now, what exactly I want to do, or what is the purpose of inviting you here."

As soon as Zhu Youqian came up, he went straight to the point.

Xia Ren asked back: "Didn't you attend your wedding?"

"Not quite."

Zhu Youqian glanced at Qin Yun and the others, his eyes fixed on Xia Ren's face.

His smile faded away, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious:

"I want you to help me and protect my family."

……

……

The time is pulled back to 20 days ago.

1107 1 Month 08 Day.

Anjing Capsules have been supplied in the world, and atypical insectophobia has been confirmed to be contained, and there is still some time before it can be completely eradicated.

Xia Ren came to the foundation headquarters and learned about the oil painting from the doctor.

The Silver Dusk Esoteric Order is preparing to go to Arkham to snatch the trioctahedron that will be auctioned.

In Xizhou, in the restricted zone, Zhou Yuan stood alone on the gray-white land that had been deprived of all vitality by Xingzhicai, becoming the only life here.

He looked up at the sky, motionless as a tree.

Suddenly, he turned his head and said to the air, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

On the ground not far behind him, a sudden black shadow appeared, and then, a thin figure in a cloak slowly emerged from the shadow.

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

The man lifted the brim of his cloak, revealing a pale face.

If Yi Zhiyu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance. This is the Canglan he was looking for.

It's just that Cang Lan's eyes have turned into golden vertical pupils at this time, and his expression is cold, full of ferocity and violence.

"Is this your masterpiece?"

Cang Lan, no, the woman who should be called the Snake King glanced around: "During the time I was away, how many people have you killed?"

Zhou Yuan was expressionless, and corrected: "I didn't kill these people, teacher."

The Golden Snake King shrank his vertical pupils: "You who killed a teacher, do you still have the face to call me a teacher?"

Zhou Yuan looked at her quietly: "Didn't you also kill my junior sister and occupy her body? In terms of behavior alone, you are worse than me."

Before the words were finished, Cang Lan disappeared from the spot, and Zhou Yuan's body suddenly twisted into a terrifying shape. His arms and legs seemed to be squeezed by some invisible force, and they were sunken towards the center.
