After midnight

After dealing with Wu Si, Song Yu led everyone to leave. He seemed to have been prepared. He looked up and looked around, identified a direction, and then walked forward. He did not intend to return, and took them to continue north after passing a locust tree. Song Nan immediately guessed Song Yu's intention and looked uneasy.

"What else do we need?" he asked.

"It's nothing. If you don't want to go, just take them back."

No one wanted to go back immediately, so they walked a few steps faster, pretending to catch up with Song Yu's pace. Only Lingyi glanced at Song Nan after passing by, and this glance made Song Nan sober up instantly. He should not disturb Song Yu's interest after just finishing the May Fourth Movement.

If Song Yu really wanted to go to Beihai to visit Song Xin, no one could stop him, and he didn't have to let them know now. What's more, Song Yu would do whatever he wanted to do, and he wouldn't care about anyone, just like now. Maybe there was no reason or cause, Song Yu just wanted to go.

"I heard that Beihai is very beautiful. Why don't we go there together?" Song Nan took a few quick steps to catch up.

After hearing this, Song Yu turned his head and looked at him, which was considered a response. A group of people quickly headed north and arrived at Beihai in just two days.

Beihai is carved into the cliffs, winding down from the top. Passing by the fiery red houses and dark cedar trees, it was beautiful. Song Yu led a group of people into the most luxurious hostel in the area. He entered the room, threw away his coat, and first opened the window in his room. Outside the window, the sea and the sky merged into one.

This place is indeed beautiful. Perhaps his mother shouldn't have taken him south to a city so close to Jiudu. But perhaps his mother chose there for some unknown reasons. But it doesn't matter now, because even if they arrived here, Wu Si was still killed by his order.

Song Yu closed the window and covered his head to sleep.

It was late at night, Lingyi secretly put on his clothes and went out. He rarely went out alone. But Beihai was different, this was his hometown. He had to search alone in the middle of the night. He walked out of the door of the hostel, walked through one crisscrossing path after another, passed by one pub after another that was still open late at night, and finally stopped in front of a magnificent house.

In front of the house, there was a road about five meters wide, paved with cobblestones in an intricate pattern. He had tripped and fallen on it when he was a child. Behind the cobblestone street, there stood a large black iron gate, which he had climbed secretly. Even though it was dark at night, he didn't need to look inside to know what kind of scenery was inside the house. A garden, a forest, and a three-story house.

These are things that Lingyi originally thought he had forgotten.

Unlike other children, Lingyi clearly remembered where his hometown was, who he was, what his parents looked like, and how Song Hongtian came to find him. Unlike those children, Lingyi took the initiative to follow Song Hongtian.

Lingyi stood in the cold wind for a long time, warning himself not to have any extra thoughts. He tugged at his clothes and turned to leave. Before leaving, he warned himself that it was not the right time yet, but sooner or later, he would return in the morning and tell his father that he had killed the 'Son of God' and that he was the strongest.

The cold wind danced the pine and birch trees outside the red wall, and the pine and birch trees rustled. It seemed as if no one had ever been here.

The next morning, Song Nan went to find Song Yu. When they arrived yesterday, Song Yu did not give any instructions and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest. So he wanted to ask what plans Song Yu had for today. When he arrived, Song Yu was tidying up his clothes and had just fastened the cuff of his coat on the left hand side.

"Brother, what are we doing today?"

"Buying clothes." Song Yu said casually and quickly. Song Nan was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw that Song Yu had piled all the clothes he wore yesterday on the table.

"Please help me take those out and throw them away."

"it is good."

"After breakfast, come with me for a walk. As for them... let them do what they want."

"...Okay." Although Song Nan disagreed, he did not ask any more questions and began to tidy up the clothes on the table.

Half an hour later, Song Nan followed Song Yu out. The most prosperous place in this town was by the sea, and they had to walk slowly down the mountain road. However, Song Yu walked leisurely and didn't seem to be in a hurry, so Song Nan followed him around.

Going down a rocky path and turning a corner, a gorgeous villa appeared in sight. The outer perimeter of the villa was blocked by red walls and iron gates, and there was even a cobblestone path in front of the gate. Song Yu looked at it with interest.

“This family is quite impressive.”

"They are indeed not an ordinary family in Beihai. They have business dealings with us."

"Really?" Song Yu was surprised. He had never noticed it before.

"Well, it's not a big industry. But there are rumors that their family lost a child many years ago and the whereabouts of the child has not yet been found."

"and then?"

"There's nothing else. After the child was lost, the head of the family gave birth to another one. I heard that the child is also very outstanding." Song Nan and Song Yu talked casually as they walked past the door of that family.

They walked around the beach all day, until the evening, when they ran into Three-Two, Six-Nine and Zero-One who were standing still in front of a bar.

"Beihai is just small." Song Yu sighed, "You guys want to drink? Why don't we drink together?"

Zero One, Six Nine, and Three Two looked at each other, then followed him in silently. The bar was small but warm, with tiny lights hanging on the wall flashing. They sat in silence, no one looking at each other. When the beer was served, the silence was not broken.

Song Yu watched them pick up a cup and drink it all, then said, "I plan to rest in Beihai for a few days. Song Nan, you will be responsible for taking them back tomorrow. Before I go back, you don't have any tasks, so stay there. I'm leaving first, and this wine is for you to drink."

This sentence caught everyone off guard. Song Nan was stunned for a moment, picked up his bag and chased Song Yu out. The remaining three people were left in silence, as they had no freedom to begin with.

Su Ziling felt a little strange when he saw Yin opening the secret door on the second floor and hurriedly walking towards them. An hour ago, they had just said goodbye to Yin to return Wu Si's letter. Three minutes ago, they had just returned home. Just now, they had taken off their coats and thrown them on the sofa.

"Brother, what happened again?"

"Yes, but it should be considered a good thing. Ah, no, that can't be said." Yin was rarely incoherent and directly handed the paper bag he carried with him to An Yan. An Yan was also a little confused, but he still took it and opened it directly.

Inside a large paper bag, two things were placed in envelopes. An Yan's eyebrows jumped, and a strange sense of familiarity came over him. An Yan took out the thinner letter and opened it.

Anyan, it's good to see your letter. I'm Qiqi. This is the last thing I left for you. If you can see this letter, it means that something has happened to Wu Si. Don't blame yourself. I don't blame you. I don't think Wu Si will blame anyone. It's just that I gave everything and still couldn't change our fate.

Also, An Yan, I have to say sorry. I'm sorry that I didn't do what I promised you. I think you have already discovered that the map I gave you is not complete. So, the remaining half is here.

Anyan, thank you. This is the last time I say thank you to you, and this is also the last time I ask for your help.

Say goodbye to the past, Anyan, and live a truly happy life.

After reading the letter, An Yan was shocked beyond words. He opened the other letter and found that it was indeed a map.

"Yin, here you go." An Yan handed the map to Yin, who accepted it.

"An Yan..." Su Ziling called him.

"It's okay, I was just a little surprised."

More than an accident, Su Ziling was also shocked to the extreme. His mind was blank now, he didn't know where to start thinking, nor did he know what to think.

"Okay, it's all over anyway. The most important thing now is this half of the map. I will find someone to redo it." Yin said, looking at them.

Yin was also very surprised. Ye handed the letter to him when he just returned home. Just after Wu Si passed away, someone found Ye and asked him to hand it to him personally. Ye investigated and found that the letter was passed down layer by layer. They could not find the original sender now. As for why Qi Qi did this, it was also unknown.

"Yes, Anyan. Brother Yin is right."

"I know. Yin, it's a good thing you're here. I also have something to tell you. Come over tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. I have something to announce."

An Yan's words obviously reminded Yin of the period after Zhao Yunqi's death. He was silent for a moment before asking the first question. "Who will come?"

"Xu Xing and Bai Ming... and Lin Nuan, Lu Li, and Song Xinjun. However, I haven't notified the latter few people yet. I will write to them later."

This combination...An Yan really has something big to announce.

"Okay, I got it. I will be there on time." Yin said.

"Ah."

"Then I'll go back first."

"it is good."

Yin took the window and passed through the secret passage. He pinched his brows and tried to relax himself. After Wu Si's death, in addition to going to find Bai Ming and Xu Xing, Yin also gave himself a lot of time to sort out the doubts that still existed about An Yan.

There are two suspicious points. The first point is the man who suddenly appeared on the platform of Wangcheng Mountain on the night when Qiqi died. An Yan had great hostility towards this man. He hated him even more than he hated Song Hongtian. But he ordered people to check and found no information about this man. Who is this man? What is his relationship with An Yan?

The second point was also the one that confused Yin the most from the beginning to the end. He had never been able to figure out the secret that Ajiu's village chief accidentally revealed to him. The village chief was very sure that An Yan was the 78th "Son of God", but everyone in the world knew that An Yan was the 77th "Son of God".

If what the old man said was true, then where did the "Son of God" who mysteriously disappeared go? An Yan must know the answer, and it is closely related to him.

Yin knew that if the above two mysteries were not solved, it would be impossible to connect a complete thread.

Then the secret of An Yan remains a secret, and no one knows it.

Yin pinched the light half of the blueprint, not knowing what fate it would carry for them. He also didn't know where An Yan's earth-shattering words would push them tomorrow.

Yin returned home and handed the blueprint to Ye, then did nothing. He quietly sorted out his own affairs and fell asleep. His intuition told him that by tomorrow, An Yan would give all the answers.

After Yin left, Su Ziling took the time to look at the clock on the wall. This afternoon, he and An Yan traveled around in three places almost without stopping. The May Fourth Movement was indeed heavy and depressing, but he always felt that there were other important things waiting for him to do. On the clock, the hour hand passed seven o'clock.

"Oh no! Xiao Sue got out of school and we didn't pick her up!"

Su Ziling screamed at An Yan in horror, and An Yan looked back at Su Ziling with wide eyes.

They rushed out the door together in a panic.

Today is destined to be an unusual day.
