After midnight

In late autumn, the northeast wind started to blow. The northeast wind blew the streets of Xidu clean. Saner dodged and walked around in the cold wind wearing a hat and a mask. He turned a corner and a corner again, but he couldn't get rid of the thing following him.

He made up his mind and lured them to a street with a row of white houses. When he turned the corner, he quickened his pace, and when they turned the corner to catch up, the water snake swam out in an instant, tied up three or four of the creatures that followed him with sneaky eyes, and then injected pure energy into them.

After San'er returned to the hotel, he took out a stack of Zijiu coins and threw them on the table. The noise woke up Liujiu who was sleeping on the bed.

"Where did you get your money?"

"I came back from outside with some unclean things, which I took from them."

"What about them?"

"died."

Oh... Liujiu was relieved and lay down again to continue sleeping. He just lay down and suddenly turned over and sat up. He got out of bed, pulled a stool over, sat down at the table, picked up the stack of nine coins and counted them.

"It's not much, but it looks like a lot." After counting the money, Liujiu stacked them one by one, making a pile and placing them neatly.

"Who would bring so much stuff when going on a mission?" San'er took a glass of water and drank it. He pulled out a stool and sat down opposite Liujiu.

"Master, are you going to ignore us?" Speaking of this, Liujiu still finds it incredible. When he still couldn't understand what the master meant, Lingyi ran out. Then came Eleven, who was probably very happy that no one cared about him. Then came Three-Two. Liujiu turned around and looked at Five-Four and Seven-Seven who obviously wouldn't pay attention to him, and quickly caught up with Three-Two. He was most familiar with Three-Two.

"San Er, I want to ask you a question."

"Who knows." San'er divided the money into two halves and gave one half to Liujiu.

"How can I survive with such little money?" Liujiu started to worry as he took the money.

"Kill people and rob them, and you can always survive by taking their lives for money."

"...Why don't we go on a mission as well?"

San Er glanced at him and sneered, "Who do you want to find for a mission? Whoever you find will kill people. Before you kill others, there are people everywhere who want to kill you. I don't want to get into trouble for no reason."

Liujiu sighed, stuffed the money into his pocket with a melancholy look, and lay down on the bed again. He rolled himself into the bed and said in a ghostly voice, "Is killing the only way for us to survive?"

San Er looked at him again. He didn't know how Liu Jiu survived in there.

The more Liujiu thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. He was so angry that he threw off the quilt and started to curse. "Song Hongtian is a naive grandson. If it weren't for him, how could his father live like this today? And that son of a bitch Song Yu, what the hell is he planning? You can ask me to kill people, but you have to make sure I have enough food and drink, right? He can just throw me away with one word? If I had known that I would have survived so desperately and had to hide here and there to live my life, I might as well have died in there and put an end to it all."

"Go ahead and die if you want." It was nice to hear Liujiu scolding people, but when it came to death, Saner's attitude immediately changed. His eyes were cold and his tone was cold.

Liujiu had spent so much time with Saner that he had gotten to know Saner's temper. He immediately said with a smile, "No death, no death. How can I die if I follow you?"

San Er snorted and said, "I plan to leave Xidu."

"Well, Xidu is not a good place. There are too many people who hate us. Where should we go? Let me make it clear first, I am not going to Xindu, even though Xindu is really beautiful."

"With the 'Son of God' here, only a fool would go to the new capital. I plan to go south, which is likely to be my hometown."

"Okay, I'll go with you." San'er said happily. He was an orphan and envied those who had a home to return to the most.

After saying that, Liujiu started to pack up their few belongings. They had just killed someone and had to move as soon as possible. Saner and Liujiu would not go to Xindu, nor would Eleven. Lingyi and Song Yu would not go to Xindu for the time being, but there would be people going to Xindu.

Since November, the water maze square has the most people at noon. Because at 10:30 in the morning, the glass roof on the lawn on the third floor of the water maze will be opened to let in the winter sun. Today, as usual, there is an endless stream of people who come to the water maze to bask in the sun at noon. May 4th is one of them.

When Wu Si arrived, the lawn on the third floor of the water maze was almost full of people sitting, walking, and lying. But Wu Si was not as upset as the other latecomers. He found a corner that was least noticeable and moved over.

"what!"

"what!!!"

Suddenly, a ball of water appeared from nowhere and rushed to the highest point in the center of the lawn, gushing down from a height like a waterfall. Screams instantly rose one after another along with the soaked crowd, and finally the crowd fled from the water maze in panic.

At the moment of the incident, Fang Hao was leaning on his office chair and taking a nap. Suddenly, he glanced out the window with a sudden alertness. The towering fountain outside the window made it clear that someone was playing tricks, and he jumped up and ran out like a frightened beast.

"Ajiu, what are you looking at?" Wen Xiaolu came out of the cafeteria after finishing his meal and saw Ajiu leaning on the transparent glass looking out. Wen Xiaolu moved closer curiously and saw that it was raining heavily in the water maze square outside.

"Hey, Ajiu, where are you going?" Ajiu turned around and ran out without answering him. Wen Xiaolu chased after him without saying a word.

Song Xinjun ran faster than Wen Xiaolu, he just came out of the cafeteria, he didn't have any missions in the past few days so he stayed in Xindu Building. Seeing Ah Jiu sitting on the ladder and going down, he couldn't catch up, Song Xinjun couldn't wait and chased him out of the corridor, fortunately the cafeteria was not on a high floor, Song Xinjun was able to catch up.

When Jiu just ran out of Xindu Building, Song Xinjun caught up with him. Song Xinjun grabbed his arm and threw him behind him, "Go back Jiu! I'll go!"

Ah Jiu was caught off guard and stopped. He gasped for breath as if he had thought of something and went to search for the paper and pen he had brought with him. When Wen Xiaolu caught up with him breathlessly, he just saw a letter flying out.

"Ajiu, who were you writing to just now?"

"Brother An Yan."

An Yan? Is that the 'Son of God' An Yan? Wen Xiaolu was about to ask when he saw Jiu running away again, so Wen Xiaolu had to chase him again. Almost at the same time, Su Ziling and Yin also rushed over from other places. Of course, they both wrote a letter to An Yan.

In less than ten minutes, the streets outside the water maze square were crowded with pedestrians. Song Xinjun struggled to push aside the innermost layer of people and stood in the front. The flood was getting more and more fierce. The water curtain had completely surrounded the water maze, and even the water maze square was submerged.

The sound of treading water rang in his ears. Song Xinjun looked over and realized that the person who had just rushed into the water maze square was none other than Uncle Fang. Song Xinjun didn't have time to think and just dived in. He quickly caught up with Fang Hao, "Uncle Fang, why are you here? It's too dangerous!"

"Dangerous? I've seen things that are much more dangerous than this!"

Seeing Fang Hao running forward stubbornly, Song Xinjun could only follow him silently. It was not until they entered the entrance of the water maze, where the water curtain fell, that Song Xinjun hurriedly stepped forward and used the swamp to prop up a barrier over the two of them, successfully blocking the water and entering.

After Fang Hao and Song Xinjun entered, they only needed to quickly pass through the maze to reach the third floor of the water maze, where the incident happened. But Jiu was still squeezing in the crowd, trying to fight his way out. As more and more people gathered, Jiu, a half-grown child, was squeezed to the ground and felt dizzy. When he finally squeezed through the crowd to the front, a beam of fire appeared.

The unusually bright red flames cut a surprising straight line in the air, instantly burning Ah Jiu's eyes to a fiery red. The flames burned fiercely, steaming, burning a hole in the water curtain, causing large patches of mist to rise.

Fire! Ah Jiu stared at the flying window! The source of the fire came from there. Ah Jiu's heart was beating wildly. He could not hear the exclamations of the crowd. He clenched his fists and stared at the flying window getting closer and closer. He stared at the flying window passing over his head, passing over the water maze square and rushing into the water curtain!

"Go! Brother Zi Ling!"

Ajiu roared and couldn't help but rush to the water maze square. He stepped on the accumulated water in the square, which had already reached his ankles.

Su Ziling felt nothing. He could not feel the attention of the crowd outside the water maze square or Ah Jiu's passionate call. He just gritted his teeth and continuously released a terrifying force. But he knew that this was not enough, because the wind blowing in his ears was much weaker at this moment.

When Xuanchuang reaches the destination, in order to facilitate landing, the speed will slow down and the altitude will drop. So according to the current turbulent water flow, even if Su Ziling has the raging fire to clear the way for him, I am afraid that the moment he rushes into the water flow, Xuanchuang will be immediately washed away by the powerful water flow, and even his whole body will fall from the sky!

Su Ziling took half a step and stepped firmly on the frame of the hanging window. He had no choice but to wait for the right moment and jump!

"Zi Ling! Su Zi Ling!"

Su Ziling looked up and saw that the person rushing towards him was Yin. Su Ziling nodded at him, then stared at the water curtain ambitiously and jumped!

With a loud bang, lightning struck the window that Su Ziling was riding in. The window was stuck tightly in the water curtain for five seconds before it slowly fell down.

At the moment when the hanging window fell, Ajiu's heart was in his throat. The lonely hanging window smashed into a half-meter-high splash, and then the broken copper and iron were washed forward by the rolling water. Great! Brother Ziling is fine! But Ajiu suddenly looked up, where is Brother Yin!

Unlike Su Ziling, Yin did not set the water maze as his destination, and the hanging window was still moving steadily in the air, because he planned to jump from the highest point when the hanging window passed through the water maze. Jiu did not dare to blink, because as soon as he looked up, he saw Yin jumping out of the half-open door of the hanging window.

"Brother Yin!"

Yin jumped down without hesitation. The moment he jumped down, he used the Snow Di to tear a big hole in the water curtain. In less than a second, he disappeared from Jiu's sight.

"Ajiu, what are you doing! Come out now!"

At this time, the water had already overflowed the square and was invading both sides of the road. Wen Xiaolu squeezed in among the panicked people and shouted anxiously to him. Ah Jiu heard it, clenched his fists, turned around and ran towards Wen Xiaolu.

Su Ziling jumped down and fell on the flat and wet grass. He didn't dare to give himself too much time to react. He immediately stood up holding his hurt arm and looked around. He was stunned. The huge water curtain completely enveloped the entire water maze like a glass cover. The water flowed outside the water maze, and here was like a world in a crystal ball.

"Brother!" Su Ziling had no time to observe and was scared half to death by another figure falling from the sky.

Yin was still confident. He waved the Xue Di methodically in the air and then turned around and landed lightly.

"Brother, you scared me to death, it's so high!" Seeing Yin landed safely, Su Ziling hurried over.

"What are you afraid of? I've practiced before. Zi Ling, have you found someone?"

Su Ziling shook his head. Standing on the lawn on the third floor of the water maze, they couldn't find where the strange water flow came from. The water flow spread out and completely surrounded the place. Even the lawn where they stood was only slightly wet. It was probably wet in the beginning to drive away the crowd.

"Zi Ling, be careful." Suddenly, Yin looked vigilantly towards the only entrance and exit on the third floor, and someone was coming there.

Su Ziling looked over and saw a dark mass blocking the rain curtain falling from the rock wall of the water maze. This dark mass was definitely a quagmire. It turned out to be Song Xinjun and Fang Hao, who climbed up from the first floor breathlessly through the water.

"Fang Hao?" Yin asked in surprise. He had guessed that the person was Song Xinjun, but he didn't expect there would be another Fang Hao.

Fang Hao was no longer the man who was planning and strategizing in the office. He looked a little embarrassed. He ran out in a hurry without bringing a coat. Even though it was noon and the sun was hot, his face was a little blue from the cold, not to mention that he was wearing a pair of soaked sneakers.

Song Xinjun also noticed it. When he was about to take off his cotton-padded jacket to put on Fang Hao, a deep male voice emerged faintly from behind the tree. He called out by name: "Yin, Su Ziling, Song Xinjun and Fang Hao."

"Looks like everyone is here, that's good." Wu Si said as he walked up to the crowd.

"You guess it must be May Fourth?" Yin took two steps forward to confirm.

"it's me."

"Then may I ask, what is your purpose in doing all this? You are not actively attacking us now, but you are showing your true colors to others, so what do you want to talk to us about? Since there is room for negotiation, you might as well tell us your demands. Look, the leader of the revolutionary army, the government of Xindu is right here." Yin hinted at something.

Wu Si remained silent, as if he was thinking about what Yin said, but in the end he said nothing and just shook his head.

"Whether you don't want to say it or it's inconvenient to say it, maybe you can talk to me alone some other time." Yin coaxed.

Hearing Yin say this, Fang Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his expression suddenly became somewhat unfathomable. This Yin was indeed not simple, but Wu Si shook his head quickly this time.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Song Xinjun was the one who was the most impatient. After he finished speaking, he took an offensive stance, while Fang Hao cleverly took two steps back.

"Wait a moment!"

Su Ziling suddenly thought of something and shouted, "What did you mean when you said everyone is here? Where's An Yan?"

Su Ziling immediately became uneasy. 'Son of God' was always a sensitive topic. Even when Wu Si mentioned An Yan, he blurted out for the first time after being silent twice: "'Son of God' An Yan will not come."

Su Ziling's pupils suddenly shrank.
