Everyone still hasn't figured out how he got in touch with his clan leader, but they still stood up and followed him in silence.

He led everyone to the top floor of the building, and Lisa was the only person besides Kebli who did not show any surprise.

The head of her family likes to appear in strange places. She is no longer surprised by it. She has silently accepted the fact that the head of her family would appear on the roof.

Everyone came to the top of the building and looked outside from the stairs. They saw a white-haired old man facing the sunset. He had a thin back and looked a little lonely.

Hearing the voices of the crowd, he slowly turned around and looked at everyone with his eyes of the same color as Kebli.

His gray eyebrows moved, and his eyes fell accurately on Qin Jiu.

"Is that you, little girl?"

Before Qin Jiu opened her mouth to speak, the other party had already locked onto her. She was a little surprised, but she did not forget the etiquette. She bowed slightly in the direction of the old man and said, "Yes, Grandpa."

"Alas..." The old man did not show a look of joy upon hearing this, but a look of regret. Facing the "benefactor" of their clan, the clan leader's reaction was like this, which made Kebli unable to help but ask: "Clan leader, what are you doing..."

"No, I'm sighing, has this day finally come?" He slowly turned around with his hands behind his back and continued to face the afterglow of the sunset, leaving everyone with a back full of stories.

His voice melted into the wind, as if it would be blown away: "Child, if possible, I really hope that you will never come to me in this life. But this may be God's will... You will still know these things..."

Qin Jiu was about to ask something when suddenly, a suspended train slowly rose from the ground and stopped on the roof while he was speaking.

The old man glanced at her sideways and said, "Come on, child, follow me."

"Grandpa Chief, then we..." As soon as Kebli finished speaking, he was interrupted by the chief, who said disdainfully: "Find a way to catch up by yourselves."

Kebli wanted to say something, but Lisa patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll find a car and go home, okay?"

The patriarch glanced at Lisa, and without saying anything else, he stepped into the car.

Qin Jiu did not hesitate and quickly stepped forward to catch up with the old man.

Lilith and the others were still a little worried, but Lisa on the side comforted them, "Okay, don't worry, we will catch up soon. And the clan leader won't do anything to her, don't worry."

Qin Jiu sat in the car, the afterglow of the setting sun was recovering its light, and darkness was about to swallow the city. But humans have their own unique way of preserving light, and the street lights are lit one by one, making the streets as bright as day.

"Grandpa clan leader, what did you just say mean?" Qin Jiu was still brooding over what the old man had just said. From what the old man said, it seemed that he didn't want to let him know the truth.

The clan leader raised his long white eyebrows, and his golden eyes fell on Qin Jiu. He did not answer but asked: "What about you? Do you really want to know what the little flower that Rockoff left for you represents?"

Qin Jiu nodded without hesitation: "He could leave this message for me there, this thing must be something extraordinary, I think he must want me to find something..."

"No, you are wrong." The clan leader interrupted Qin Jiu's monologue and said, "Lockefu doesn't want you to know."

"What……"

"The little red flower is the symbol of our tribe. The red flower in your hand is indeed a symbol of a distinguished guest, but -" he paused, and said: "It also represents that he has sold his soul to us."

Hearing this, Qin Jiu looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief, as if he was trying to digest the meaning of his words.

"Something happened to my tribe in the past, which did affect the safety of our tribe. Rockoff made a deal with us at that time. He was willing to provide us with his soul after death, but at the same time, we need to do one thing for him-"

There seemed to be a rare ripple in the old man's calm eyes.

"He said that we should help him store some of his memories and diaries for the person who will come to us with red flowers in the future. That person is you - Qin Jiu."

Qin Jiu heard this and asked curiously: "Why would he do that? He could just put all the information in Xinghuang..."

"That's what I said. He actually doesn't want you to know what's going on. But he's a very contradictory person. He doesn't want you to know the truth, but he's also afraid that you don't know... So he said, if one day you gather all the conditions and find me, it means it's God's will. I just didn't expect that we would meet so soon..."

The old man's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, staring at Qin Jiu's eyes, and he said earnestly: "Of course, he also said that it is up to you to decide whether you want to know the truth. You still have a chance to refuse now."

Qin Jiu looked at the old man calmly for a long time. She suddenly laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "Really? Do I have a chance to refuse?"

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "No, actually I didn't have a choice at the beginning, did I?"

"Yeah." The old man responded softly. He said, "Because I don't want you to choose. From the moment you get on this car, you have no way back."

"Can I ask why?"

"Maybe out of my own selfish reasons, I think you need to know what all this means. I also want to know what you will choose. After all, there are threats related to you that are attacking the interstellar space. You are the key that can unlock the answer."

Qin Jiu was a little surprised, pointed at himself, and asked unconfidently: "Me?"

"Well, don't underestimate yourself. Your role is far greater than you think." The old man thought of the information he had recently obtained from the star map, and his eyes looking at Qin Jiu became full of meaning.

Qin Jiu had a vague intuition that what the clan leader grandfather said should be related to the little white ball. But... is the little white ball also related to Rockov? Isn't it a strange creature that suddenly appeared?

Qin Jiu suddenly remembered the dream in the water tank. The feeling of being soaked in the mucus liquid still remained on her skin.

Perhaps the little white ball is not a creature that appeared out of nowhere, but a man-made substance...

The first laboratory...

These words suddenly popped up in her mind, and when she put it all together, she felt a chill down her spine.

Now, apart from the little white ball, she couldn't think of anything else that could threaten the safety of the interstellar space.

Did Rockoff leave her a way to deal with the little white ball?
