After midnight

"Brother, where's An Yan?"

"You ask others as soon as we meet, don't you miss your brother?" Yin felt depressed when he saw Su Ziling's bright smile, and said pretending to be aggrieved.

"Yes, of course." Su Ziling opened his arms and hugged him affectionately.

"Come here, brother, let me introduce you. This is my sister, An Xiaosu." Su Ziling brought Xiaosu to the front, his face beaming with joy and his tone quite proud.

"Xiao Su, I'm Yin, Su Ziling's brother. You should follow him and call me Brother Yin."

"Hello, Brother Yin." Xiao Su nodded obediently, without much emotion in her eyes. Yin leaned over to look, and the look in the girl's eyes... An Yan, you always attract unusual people.

"Then let's go home first." Yin put his arm around Su Ziling's shoulders and walked forward.

As they walked along, the wide hall was unobstructed. Su Ziling looked at the gray-white marble floor, the advertising posters on the wall tiles, and the metal texture everywhere, and his expectations for Xindu suddenly increased.

As they walked, they saw a row of huge glass doors in the distance. Yin stopped and gave them a mysterious smile, "Zi Ling, Xiao Su, you better be prepared."

Get ready to unveil the magical veil of Xindu.

After opening the glass door, the warm sun immediately made Su Ziling squint his eyes. On the sunny ground, a huge square appeared in front of Su Ziling, where square hanging windows stood in rows and rows. They were placed in an orderly manner among the tall buildings and greenery. When people sat in them, they immediately flew in all directions. These flying hanging windows were dazzling.

"How about it?"

"That's amazing!" Su Ziling hurriedly took Xiao Su and followed Yin to the hanging window closest to them.

As soon as it sensed someone approaching, the hanging window door opened automatically. They walked in, and Su Ziling watched Yin pick up the pen hanging beside him and tap the screen in front of the hanging window. The screen lit up, and then the map of Xindu appeared.

But Yin tilted his head and thought for a while, then wrote a few words, and then in less than three seconds, the handwriting disappeared. Yin sat next to Su Ziling, three, two, one, the hanging window started to move smoothly and took off. They went straight in the air.

The speed of the hanging window was neither fast nor slow, and Su Ziling did not feel dizzy when he looked down.

"You can unfasten the buckle and release it after the hanging window flies steadily," Yin said.

After hearing this, Su Ziling immediately stood up, lying there with his nose lightly pressed against the glass, staring down. An Xiaosu did the same thing.

"Brother, I have a question. What if you accidentally hit something while flying around in the sky like you guys? Also, what if I go out in a remote area and can't find a usable hanging window?"

Su Ziling turned around and asked, and Xiao Su also turned around to look at him. The two people's surprisingly similar actions made Yin laugh.

"That's impossible. Think about it. Who controls the hanging window? What controls it?"

“Abilities and those who have abilities.”

"That's right, so there is no such thing as a collision. When a person with special abilities uses their abilities, they will definitely be able to sense the things around them. Rising, falling, and avoiding are all very easy to do. Every corner of the new capital is within their control."

"As for the second question, it's even simpler. Hanging windows are the main means of transportation in Xindu. Following the principle of natural distribution, there are more hanging windows in places with more people. There are also special stations in places with fewer people, so there's no need to worry."

Yin was right, because Su Ziling noticed that even though the flight path of the hanging window was messy, it was very regular when landing. Wherever there was a gap, it would be filled there, and the two hanging windows would never be too close or too far apart, as if a grid was drawn on the ground with invisible lines.

Su Ziling stared at it without blinking. He had never seen a city like this, nor had he seen it from this perspective. The high-rise buildings in Xindu, the intricate streets, and the urban landscape that covered everything in green were so full of vitality.

That's right, it was a sound! It was too quiet, so quiet that it was a little weird. His senses were strangely split, and what he saw and heard was completely opposite to what he had known before. But Su Ziling closed his eyes and laughed. He heard the birds singing and the sound of the wind.

"Hurry up and sit down, it's almost time."

After the hanging window landed smoothly, Su Ziling held Xiao Su's hand and stepped onto the solid land of Xindu again. On one street after another, hanging windows standing on the roadside can be seen everywhere, but people are walking in the middle of the road openly. There are no shrill horns here, and there is no need to worry about vehicles rushing out at any time.

Su Ziling looked up at the blue sky, his heart filled with wonder. As he walked, Su Ziling realized something was wrong. This place was already far away from where they had just landed.

"My destination is different every time. How can I let others find my home easily?" Yin smiled proudly. He could easily see through Su Ziling's thoughts every time.

Ah, I almost forgot that his brother's identity is not that simple, Su Ziling thought expressionlessly.

After hearing this, An Xiaosu quickly cast a curious look at Su Ziling, and Su Ziling pinched her fingertips to comfort her. Yes, they had already walked a long way, and the child should have lost patience. Just when Su Ziling was worried about how to explain to Xiaosu, Xiaosu had already looked straight ahead and walked obediently.

After turning a corner and walking about 200 meters, Yin finally stopped. This was a villa. Yin first pushed open the fence outside the door and walked over on the granite stones on the lawn, then stood under the eaves and pressed his fingerprint on the black sensor on the right side of the door. Finally, with a beep, the vermilion door opened automatically.

Su Ziling and An Xiaosu, who were following behind, looked at each other at the same time.

"No need to change shoes, this is not our destination yet." Yin kindly reminded the two and motioned for them to continue following.

Su Ziling and An Xiaosu looked at each other and followed.

Yin turned right and went up the stairs, then opened the third door in the middle of the second floor. In the room, there was a bed and some ordinary furniture, but it was new and looked like no one had used it.

Yin pressed the switch of the bedside lamp five times in a row. The light flickered, and then suddenly a tile on the floor slowly shifted away, revealing a dark hole, and a cool breeze blew up.

Su Ziling was startled, and he hurried over to take a closer look. The cement-paved inclined ladder extended to the shadow below. Xiao Su followed, and unconsciously drew his head back to Su Ziling's side.

"Don't be afraid." The warm little body leaned over and Su Ziling hugged her gently.

"Well, I'm not afraid." Xiao Su took Su Ziling's hand, and then Su Ziling held it tightly.

Yin, who was standing next to them, saw everything. He looked at Su Ziling, marveled a little in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little comforted.

Walking down, I found that it was not completely dark inside. I walked down the stairs and stepped onto the platform. There was a long passage on the side of the platform. There were faint lights on the walls on both sides of the passage, and the transparent hanging windows standing on the wall were dim and unclear. There was also a person standing there, but he was also unclear.

Seeing Yin, the man walked over from the hanging window and bowed to Yin. Yin nodded and took Su Ziling and Xiao Su to the hanging window again.

Su Ziling looked around casually in the slowly moving window. Perhaps because his eyes had adapted to the dark space, he soon discovered that this passage was not the only one and one-way. Countless forks in the road were passed by the window and left behind. Su Ziling couldn't help but secretly wonder where Yin was going to take them.

"The hanging windows here are controlled by us 'Dark Night'. No one can detect their whereabouts, so don't worry." Yin said.

Su Ziling nodded.

As he was speaking, the hanging window slowly stopped. Yin got up first and left. After pressing the button on the wall, he turned to Su Ziling and said, "Well, Ziling, welcome home."

The weak lights on both sides of the wall reflected on Yin's face, blending his sharp temperament and making his gentle words more tender. At this moment, Su Ziling sincerely felt that it was great for him to have a brother like Yin.

"Great, thank you bro."

Yin rubbed his head, the wall opened, they passed through the unused bathroom, Yin turned the handle and opened the last door.

In the living room, Su Ziling held Xiao Su's hand and accepted the baptism of several gazes. Undisguised curiosity, lack of interest, and eyes that were inexplicably piercing at a glance. These gazes made Su Ziling feel embarrassed. Among these people, the only person he knew was Wu Ying, who was looking at them with a caring look.

Su Ziling looked back one by one under the invisible pressure. He quickly glanced around and then looked at his eldest brother, his eyes full of confusion and accusation. He didn't expect to be watched by others.

Yin, who had finally seen enough, stood aside with his arms crossed and spoke up to help. "Okay, let's eat first."

Listen, Su Ziling thought angrily, there was a hint of mockery in Yin Lian's tone.

"Bring me the food!" Wuying gave an order and the people dispersed.

Qing and Wu walked towards the kitchen. Wu was very quick, while Qing was still slow and looked sleepy. He drooped his shoulders and yawned. There was only one person, still staring at them with his big eyes. That person was a teenager, who looked young, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Su Ziling nodded to him and pulled Xiao Su to the short sofa that could only accommodate one person. After he sat down, he immediately held Xiao Su in his arms and put him on his lap.

"Zi Ling, they are all my partners."

"Yeah, I know." Su Ziling smiled.

Maybe she was just a little unfamiliar, Yin stopped thinking about Su Ziling's sudden resistance. Wuying also came over and sat on the sofa and teased: "Where did this cute girl come from?"

"Xiao Su, call Sister Wuying."

"Sister Wuying." Xiao Su called sweetly, and Wuying couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

After dinner, Wuying was busy in the kitchen, Qing and Wu went their separate ways, Yin also went upstairs, and Su Ziling followed immediately.

"Don't panic. I'll tell you about An Yan's matter tonight. Go to rest first." After Yin said that, he went into the study. Su Ziling had no choice but to obey.

After the afternoon rest, Su Ziling, Xiao Su, the boy and Wuying played puzzles together in the living room. Puzzles were one of Xiao Su's few hobbies, and An Yan used to play with her often.

"Zi Ling, come out with me for a moment."

"Okay." Su Ziling glanced at Xiao Su who was thinking hard, and followed Yin silently.

It was not until he sat on the hanging window again and passed through the long dark passage that Su Ziling realized the meaning of Yin's words. He looked back and saw a huge void behind him.

"Wuying will have a great time playing with Xiaosu. Instead of worrying about her, think about yourself first." Yin said deeply.

Su Ziling didn't understand what was going on. He stared at Yin, but Yin didn't intend to continue talking. So he changed the subject, "Brother, where are we going?"

"Water maze."

The water maze is the landmark of Xindu. With it as the center, eight main roads extend in all directions, forming a trunk line that radiates every corner of Xindu. Within two kilometers of the water maze, in the terraced area divided by the eight main roads, all government departments and business giants from all walks of life in Xindu are scattered.

The headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, which ruled the Xindu regime, the Xindu Building, was right in front of the water maze. So, it was obvious that this was also the most prosperous entertainment venue.

Yin and Su Ziling successfully reached the water maze along the southeast main line via the hanging window.

Xindu is brightly lit at night, but this is not enough to contrast with the splendor of the water maze. The light emitted by the water maze makes the surrounding flowers, plants and trees dyed with brilliant colors. The changing blue, red and purple are very dazzling.

But in the water maze, people's wanton creations in the water maze square are the most charming colors under the night sky.

The firelight transformed into animals of different shapes, causing the children to cheer. Rose petals fluttered leisurely under the lights, making countless lovers intoxicated. And the young men and women who moved back and forth in the air and showed off their dancing skills attracted most people's attention in a cool and flamboyant manner.

Lian Yin couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere, and his power arrogantly soared into the sky, causing a thunderous sound.

Su Ziling was horrified and hurried to see everyone's reactions, but he saw expressions of surprise and admiration on everyone's faces.

The electric current traced complicated trajectories in the air as Yin's fingers danced, and suddenly there was a bang, and fireworks exploded. This attracted pedestrians to stop and pay attention.

Can abilities be used like this? Su Ziling looked up at the night sky that was as dazzling as fireworks. Xindu is really a city with a flamboyant personality!

Ten minutes later, Yin, who had finally had enough fun, led Su Ziling to a more secluded place and found a bench to sit on. The two sat side by side, and when they looked up, they could see the water maze behind the trees, still blooming with charming colors.

"Why do you want to come back? Since An Yan kept you." Yin suddenly said.

"Of course I have to come back!" Su Ziling shouted without thinking.

"Really? Is it necessary? Are you really needed here? Are you capable of handling it? You never feel like you belong in this world, do you?"

Yin's series of sharp questions left Su Ziling speechless. He had to remain silent and hide his face under the mottled shadows of the trees.
