Qin Li fell asleep dazedly in the guest room prepared for him by the waiter.

He hadn't dreamed anything, and when he awoke, his temples were still aching.

He glanced at the communicator on his wrist, but it was only six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still shining outside.

The guest room is on the second floor. Looking out of the window, you can clearly see the scene in the garden downstairs.

There was no sign of old Erreira and the assassin outside.Everything bloody was cleaned up, and men and women wore exquisite high-end gowns, chatting and laughing between drinks.If it wasn't for the injury on his hand that reminded Qin Li that everything that happened before was real, he would have thought it was just his own nightmare.

He saw Alisa again in the crowd.

Alisa should have touched up her makeup while going to the bathroom.Now she has returned to her appearance when she first appeared at the banquet, with meticulous makeup and a dignified smile on her face.She was holding Anthony Balmond's hand, and the distance between the husband and wife was quite intimate, so that no one could see the adultery between her and old Herrera.

Maybe everything here is not a dream, but it is definitely a false world where everyone wears masks.

After taking a nap, Qin Li, as his mind gradually cleared up, a firm idea took shape in his heart——

He is leaving here.

"Dong dong—" The sudden knock on the door startled Qin Li.

Before he could turn around, the door of the guest room had already been opened on his own initiative.The waiter would not have the guts, the only person who came was Ming Jue.

Ming Jue stared at the tall and straight figure, the well-tailored suit outlined the man's waist and hips, exuding an aura of restraint.Many years ago, he had stared at the same back for a long time with obsessively loving eyes, but that person never looked back, as if he lived without a heart.

"Are you awake?" Ming Jue chased away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said to his back.

The person in front of the window turned slightly sideways, against the sunlight, making his facial features and expression unclear.

"I want to get out of here." His first response was an undeniable statement.

There was a slight smile on Mingjue's lips, and he comforted the man, "Brother Li, you can't leave until the dinner is over."

"I'm not talking about that." Qin Li left the sunlight and stood in front of Ming Jue, with an unprecedented seriousness on his face, "I mean, I want to leave here, leave South America."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the smile on Ming Jue's mouth disappeared, replaced by bewilderment and astonishment.

"where do you want to go?"

"It's good to go anywhere. Maybe I will go back to the Asian League."

The other party frowned, and his tone was filled with inexplicable anxiety, "There are people chasing you over there!"

Qin Li tentatively replied: "Maybe go to other alliance countries."

Ming Jue stared at him steadfastly for a full minute, his obscure eyes seemed to swallow him alive.After that, he took a deep breath and tried to restore his tone to normal, "Is it okay to discuss this matter after we get back?"

Qin Li thought that Ming Jue's reaction meant that there was still room for discussion, so he nodded, and then followed the other party's wishes and went downstairs to eat.

***

The accident in the afternoon was really like Qin Li's nightmare.When returning to the crowd, a humble smile hangs on everyone's face.The atmosphere of the dinner party can even be described as cheerful and breezy.

He even saw the little Alpha and his mother from the afternoon again.Little Alpha didn't know what happy things happened to him, and his face was always filled with a childish smile. When his mother took his hand again and walked in front of Qin Li and Ming Jue, he didn't show his previous impatience again. .

They chatted casually.

Ming Jue waited for them to leave before he introduced the woman to Qin Li, saying, "She is Seba's biological sister, Isabella. The child she led is the future heir of the Balmond family."

As Seba is a fertile Omega, how could Isabella's child become the future heir of the family.

What Ming Jue said was too firm.

Qin Li should have been suspicious, but right now all his thoughts are eager to escape from this huge manor.

Every time Mingjue introduces one more guest here, he will be dragged an inch into the abyss of South America by the other party.His resisting mentality was constantly struggling with Ming Jue's words, and finally the boredom in his heart surfaced on his face.He snorted softly with a cold face, took a small sip of the red wine in his glass, and didn't want to say anything more.

It was nearly ten o'clock when the dinner party ended.

As delicate as Ming Jue was, he should have noticed Qin Li's resistance and evasion.He knew that a certain ominous seed had been planted in Qin Li's heart, and with the character of the other party's acceptance of death, unless the weeds were wiped out, the seed would always be watered by anxiety and suspicion, and finally grow into an unstoppable towering tree.

However, when the two said goodbye to Seba and got into the car together, Ming Jue didn't immediately try to comfort the person who was actually getting farther and farther away from him.

In the cramped car, two different forces are secretly growing and expanding.

When the car was driving halfway, it rained suddenly outside.Raindrops slapped on the window, blurring Qin Li's vision when looking out.

it's time.

The sudden weather seemed to be some kind of omen.He preferred to take this as an excuse to comply with God's will, and abruptly broke a certain depression brewing in the air, "Have you considered what I said in the evening?"

Qin Li's gaze was fixed on the road ahead without looking at Ming Jue.He had a faint feeling in his heart that if he made even the slightest eye contact with the other party at this time, he would lose everything.

Ming Jue also looked at the winding mountain road ahead, the faint headlights only opened up a short path for them.

The dark and unknown future is just like the road ahead of fate.

Seeing that Ming Jue didn't reply for a long time, Qin Li chuckled lightly, as if mocking, "Actually, you don't need to ask for your permission for this kind of thing, but after all, I've been bothering you for a long time, and it would be too bad if I really walked away like this." Sounds like a story."

As soon as the words fell, a thunderbolt rolled across the sky.Pale lightning illuminated the darkness in the car.

Ming Jue's hand hanging on the side of the car door secretly clenched into a fist, and where Qin Li couldn't see, his gaze had become fanatical.

"You never believed in me, didn't you believe that I was your lover, did you?" When talking about this matter, Ming Jue's voice was rarely filled with grievance and sadness, replaced by abnormal calmness after accepting the reality.

For a moment, Qin Li only thought that he had torn off a small piece of the opponent's mask again.

"You want to hear the truth?"

"Will you lie to me?"

A simple rhetorical question made Qin Li suddenly feel a chill down his back, as if the other party had looked at him from the inside out.

But he still insists on being a cruel person, "You're right. I don't want to lie about this kind of thing. I really don't believe that we are lovers. Maybe we were before, but we are definitely not now. I may have a little bit of love for you Good impression, but not enough to make me give up everything else, and be willing to be the canary in your villa, and accompany you into the conspiracy of this ghost place."

Mingjue has to admit that when he heard the "slightly favorable impression", his heart was moved, but what the other party said immediately poured a big basin of ice water on him.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Qin Li's side face, the other's chin was slightly raised, just like every time he gave orders and made important decisions in the past, he always looked confident.

"Brother Li, you can't even remember who you are. Where is everything about you, are you sure you know?"

But no matter how confident the other party is, he is still full of weaknesses now, like a young animal at the mercy of others.

Sure enough, his words instantly crushed the firmness in Qin Li's eyes, forcing him to take the next best thing, "Then at least, I don't want to get involved in the right and wrong here." Tian, ​​there seems to be a dark cloud hanging over their heads.The dark cloud will spread and eventually hang over the whole of South America.

Qin Li's subconscious reminded him more than once how dangerous this dark cloud was.If you make a wrong step, you will fall into a situation beyond redemption.

He seems to have more important things to do, so he must not fall here!

Wait, something important?

What's important?

Qin Li narrowed his eyes slightly, but his brain responded with endless pain.At this moment, he heard Ming Jue's light laughter, like a curse lingering in his ears.

He said: "Brother Li, do you think that your former self has nothing to do with this place?"

Qin Li's pupils constricted suddenly, he turned his head to meet Ming Jue's quiet and deep gaze, "What do you mean?!"

"literal meaning."

The car stopped smoothly at the gate of the villa.They are home.

At this time Carlos was still awake and was waiting at the door, Ming Jue asked Qin Li to get out of the car first, and stayed in the car by himself, as if he had to go somewhere else tonight.

Qin Li hadn't reacted to what he said just now, so he didn't care about him. After stepping into the gate, he heard Mingjue's clear voice behind him.

"Good night, Brother Li."

There was still that disturbing smile in his tone.
