After midnight

As soon as Su Ziling was pushed into the lake, An Yan jumped in. When Yin jumped in immediately after him, he suspected that if An Yan didn't hold up the protection circle in time, Su Ziling would definitely wrap around An Yan's body like an octopus.

Blue light overflowed from An Yan's hands, and it was even more dazzling in the water. As soon as the pure power came out, the lake water seemed to have a sense of it and automatically evacuated with An Yan as the center. Or, to be more precise, An Yan used "Absolute Defense", which continued to expand and expand like a bubble that was blown out, forcing away the invisible and flowing water and isolating them from it.

Yin called this circle a protective circle. He didn't know yet that this was An Yan's "absolute defense".

Yin swam slowly towards them, like a little goldfish swimming into a mysterious bubble in a fairy tale world.

An Yan took his hand.

Yin followed An Yan's steps and had to admit that this was the first time in his 23 years that he was so interested in someone. This was simply amazing. But it didn't take long for big trouble to come.

The protective circle was squeezed and deformed, twisted and shriveled under the high-speed rotation of this big trouble. Yin tried to ignore the pain in his body and tried his best to keep a clear mind. Su Ziling's face was already red and his expression was extremely painful.

While struggling with himself, Yin suddenly remembered something and hurried to check on An Yan's condition. The center of the protective circle was still stable, and An Yan did not look too painful, so Yin breathed a sigh of relief. But Yin's long-term sensitivity made him look back the next second. He saw An Yan's cheeks bulged and his teeth clenched.

It turned out that it was not an illusion. Yin stared at Anyan with difficulty. Sweat was dripping from Anyan's forehead.

It's bad, Yin's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom. They just touched the surface of the whirlpool, and the bottom of the lake was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom at a glance. But this was not the worst. The worst was that An Yan's hands were now imprisoned by him and Su Ziling, and his abilities could not be exerted at all. If this continued, An Yan's abilities would be greatly depleted, and it wouldn't take long for the three of them to die together in this place!

He will really die without a burial place. Yin made the decision in less than a second. He struggled hard, trying to break free from An Yan, but he didn't expect that An Yan's grip on him was so strong that he couldn't break free! An Yan was not just holding him simply!

Because of this action, An Yan looked at Yin in shock. He immediately reacted and grabbed Yin tightly again, even harder than before. Because An Yan already understood what Yin was going to do, but he absolutely would not allow it!

Yin didn't notice what An Yan did. He stared at the corner of An Yan's mouth in a daze. A trace of bright red blood was flowing out from there. He just wanted to break free from An Yan. This idiot! What An Yan had just bitten in his mouth was actually blood!

Yin began to struggle desperately, but Anyan's eyes were fixed on him and his hands were holding on tightly!

Why? Isn't An Yan always very rational? Doesn't he understand that if this continues, all three of them will die here? Yin's heart was made up.

He began to gather power in the palm of his left hand, trying to attack An Yan, but when he thought of Su Ziling's condition, he immediately gave up the idea. Su Ziling had obviously lost consciousness at this time, and An Yan could no longer withstand any offensive damage. He had to have enough strength to protect himself and Su Ziling.

Thinking of this, Yin took out the knife that he had been hiding and stabbed the back of An Yan's hand. The blood immediately flowed out. However, An Yan did not let go! Blood was flowing from An Yan's hand, veins were bulging, and even his fingers were bent into a fierce shape, but he never relaxed his grip on Yin.

Yin didn't care about being shocked or thinking too much, and continued to pull. More blood came out, and a large amount of bright red and sticky blood flowed down the back of An Yan's hand and fingers and flowed onto Yin's hand.

Yin looked at this dazzling scene and shouted at him out of control.

"Why don't you let go!"

"An Yan, you bastard, why don't you let go!!!"

An Yan did not answer, but just looked at Yin deeply.

Just when the confrontation between Yin and Anyan reached a stalemate and Yin didn't know what to do, Anyan's blood suddenly emitted a dazzling light. No one had time to think or act, and the light sucked them all in.

At the same time, the same light emanated from the bottom of another dark lake. The barrier that had been in place for thirty-six years was broken.

Su Ziling woke up groggily and found himself lying on the ground safe and sound. Recalling what had happened before, he immediately struggled to sit up uneasily.

"Brother Yin, where are we?" Su Ziling asked doubtfully. When he woke up, he saw Yin sitting next to him, which made him feel a little relieved.

"Look for yourself." Yin came back to his senses after hearing the voice.

After hearing this, Su Ziling stood up. He took two steps forward and found that they were at the top of the mountain, and there was a valley under their feet. The valley was green and a few houses could be vaguely seen.

What was going on? Weren't they at the bottom of the lake? How did they wake up here? He had never seen such a scene before. He immediately looked at Yin in panic, and Yin's expression was also not at ease.

"Where is An Yan?" Su Ziling said in a trembling voice.

"He's injured and hasn't woken up yet."

"Injured? What kind of injury? Is it serious?" Su Ziling's voice suddenly rose several octaves.

Recalling the scene just now when An Yan's mouth was bleeding due to abnormal loss of power underwater, Yin speculated again and again and shook his head gently, "It's not clear now, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's good... That's good..." Su Ziling nodded as he spoke, and his anxious heart relaxed a little.

"Where is he now?"

"I'll put him in a slightly flatter place so he can rest." Su Ziling followed the direction of Yin's finger and saw a corner of the tent.

"I'll go over and see him."

After Su Ziling left, Yin sat down again and continued to think about the thoughts that had been interrupted by Su Ziling just now.

Like Su Ziling, he was shocked to see such a scene when he woke up. He still remembered what he saw before he fainted, and the watch on his wrist reminded him that only a short time had passed.

An Yan was vague at that time, probably because he had already guessed it but didn't tell him. How much does An Yan know? Also, since there are people living here, Ming Ye's information is correct.

More than 30 years ago, all the family members of the 76th "Guardian" disappeared overnight. There are rumors that they hid in this vast unknown area, but the government has sent people to search for them several times but to no avail, and finally nothing was done. Now it seems that they should be hiding here, and these families are their descendants.

But what was going on? What was the connection between them and Anyan? Yin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Su Ziling had only taken a few steps when he saw An Yan lying asleep inside. He walked over quickly and then squatted down gently beside An Yan.

An Yan's face was pale, his lips had lost their color, and his black hair stuck limply to his forehead, making him look even more listless.

Su Ziling watched quietly for a while, and when he was about to reach out and pull up the thin blanket covering An Yan, he saw An Yan's exposed left hand. An Yan's left hand was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and circles of blood oozed out of the gauze.

Su Ziling's eyes flickered when he saw An Yan's left hand, and he leaned over to take a closer look. An Yan's hand was injured on the back of his hand, and the person who could hurt An Yan was Yin.

Su Ziling warned himself not to let his mind wander while he put An Yan's hand in and tucked the quilt in for him. After a few seconds, he leaned closer to An Yan and sat there motionless.

After a while, Yin came over and sat down next to Anyan. They had no other choice but to wait for Anyan to wake up.

Su Ziling glanced at Yin secretly and said to him sullenly: "Brother Yin, thank you for taking care of me and An Yan."

"It's my duty." Yin didn't care much.

After another moment of silence, Yin said, "We can go down the mountain when An Yan wakes up. Maybe we can figure out some things after we go down the mountain. But now, it's getting dark."

Su Ziling then looked up. The sun was so dim that it was almost invisible on the other side of the mountain. April 23rd, the thirteenth day was about to pass.

As night falls and the lights begin to come on, people of all kinds appear on the streets, enjoying the fruits of the new era.

New Era, a new term. It was proposed by the revolutionary army that dominates this city. The so-called New Era refers to an era that combines powerful abilities with the technology of the 21st century. In this city that claims to be a New Era, you will see the most magical scenes.

This city is Xindu. At night, Xindu is full of lights, wine and women, bustling with people, and full of infinite happiness and madness.

Lin Xuanfeng stood in Xindu Building, the iconic building of Xindu. He looked down from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 28th floor. The water maze square was brightly lit and the water maze was particularly shining.

These flashing neon lights indicated that the night's farce was just about to begin, but it had nothing to do with the Xindu Building. Xindu Building, as everyone knew, was the headquarters of the revolutionary army.

On the top floor of the Xindu Building, the 28th floor, is the office of Fang Hao, the leader of the revolutionary army.

"Lin Xuanfeng, shouldn't you give me an explanation about the escape of the 'Son of God'? If I don't ask you personally, you won't speak up?" Fang Hao stood with his back to Lin Xuanfeng. He stared at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, and his voice was calm and powerful.

"This was an accident." Lin Xuanfeng answered briefly, concisely and crisply, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

"Accident? What accident?" Fang Hao asked back sternly, turning his body towards Lin Xuanfeng.

Lin Xuanfeng remembered the agreement he made with Lin Nuan, that is, not to mention Su Ziling's appearance to anyone, so he remained silent and did not answer.

Fang Hao turned around completely. He looked at Lin Xuanfeng's righteous expression and laughed angrily. "Forget it. Your temper really gives me a headache sometimes. It's better for An Yan not to come to Xindu for the time being. The war hasn't started yet. If he doesn't come, it can avoid some trouble."

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about 'Dark Night'. I heard that you saw that Yin?"

"Yes. Yin is very young, and looks to be only about 23 years old."

"Really? He's only two or three years older than you. He's so capable at such a young age. He seems to be quite capable."

"The condition in exchange for all members of Yin Dongzhi's Dark Night helping me rescue An Yan at any cost and risk is..." Lin Xuanfeng paused intentionally, "He wants to flee with An Yan."

"That's quite interesting. So, Yin's current whereabouts are tied to An Yan?"

"Yes. But I don't understand why." Lin Xuanfeng heard the obvious interest in Fang Hao's words and asked his doubts.

"There is no reason, everything is for profit. Lin Xuanfeng, you have to learn to see the essence through the phenomenon." Fang Hao said meaningfully, "If his target is not An Yan, then there must be something he wants around An Yan, either now or in the future, it will definitely appear, and you will always know it."

"Then according to your guess, what would Yin want?" Lin Xuanfeng seemed a little anxious.

"I don't understand this. Your 'Son of God' has a lot of secrets." Fang Hao teased.

"Okay, send someone to contact the Dark Night organization and see if cooperation with them is feasible. For now, don't move Lu Li and Lin Nuan. We need to see the situation and make some preparations."

"I understand." Lin Xuanfeng replied.

"Xuan Feng." Fang Hao dragged out the last word, "The curtain of war is about to be opened."
