After sending the message to Qin Yujin and Kui Zong, Augusta turned off the optical brain and slowly approached the remote and dilapidated small courtyard.

The door panel of the courtyard is a very old wooden board, it looks like it has not been repaired for a long time, the door lock is full of spots of rust, as long as this crumbling door can be kicked down with force.

Augusta stretched out a hand to wrap around Xiao Feijiu on his shoulder, and kicked towards the door at the same time.

After a burst of dust, the expected ambush did not appear. Augusta fanned the dust and looked into the small courtyard.

The layout of the small courtyard is very simple, there is only a broken stone road connected to a foundation.Probably there used to be a house here, but the house was demolished for some reason, leaving only some ruins.

The weeds in the yard are taller than half a person.

What did the other party lead them here for?

Looking at the grass?

Or did they really think too much, and the other party really just ran away from here in a panic?

"There's an iron chain here." Augusta pushed aside the weeds, squatted down and checked, "It's a very strong alloy."

Looking at the broken iron chain, Ruan Qiu felt a vague premonition in his heart.

Along the iron chain, Augusta swept away the half-person-high weeds and found a half-meter-high hole in the corner of the yard.

Augusta squatted at the entrance of the cave, reached out and touched the mossy edge of the cave: "The fixed-point blasting, the range is well controlled, like military level."

"here it is……"

Ruan Qiu had a vague guess: "This is where Gu Xun Shuang imprisoned Qin Yujin."

Before the words fell, the man's shrill and crazy laughter sounded in the empty courtyard.

"Heavenly evil lone star, no relatives, no friends...Qin Yujin, you are doomed to die!"

The gray sky was raining again.

Augusta and Ruan Qiu raised their heads at the same time, and saw a figure standing on the wall.

He was wearing a blood-red robe with a hood, half of his face was covered by a silver mask, the eyes behind the mask were magnificent purple, he was holding a thick book in his hand, and he was reciting the Bible in a low voice.

Ruan Qiu held down Augusta who wanted to act: "It's a projection."

For some reason, the projection of the man in red looked over. The rain passed through his body, making his figure slightly blurred.

Ruan Qiu jumped down from Augusta's shoulder and turned into a ray of white light in mid-air. After the light disappeared, a young man with white hair and a cloak stepped gracefully on the prostrate grass.

He looked at the person standing on the wall from a distance, with mocking eyes: "Gu Xunxue, who are you going to judge for the cardinals with this outfit?"

In the most active years of the cardinals, the round table meeting composed of them could judge anyone in the empire, even the emperor, and no one could resist their ruling at that time.

The projected light fell on the ground, and in an instant, all the weeds in the small courtyard disappeared, and the broken iron chain was connected, one end was nailed to the rockery, and the other end was connected to a person whom Ruan Qiu was very familiar with. ——

Qin Yujin.

Iron chains clasped his limbs, iron nails pierced his shoulder blades, and dirty blood gurgled from his wounds.Someone tried to make him look like bowing his head and pleading guilty, but he didn't know why he was still holding his breath, and he stood upright with his body covered in iron chains.

It was still raining heavily.

The boy blurred by the rain slowly looked over.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ruan Qiu saw his appearance in the heavy rain in the eyes of the projection, with wet silver hair sticking to his cheeks, and the clothes on his body were also stained by the rain in different shades, looking a little embarrassed, but as if It is the only pure white light in this small courtyard, illuminating this place.

He saw the projection trying to raise his head, as if he saw himself.

Ruan Qiu smiled subconsciously, and at the same time, the boy in the projection also laughed.

Gu Xunxue slowly closed the parchment in his hand: "Qin Yujin."

In the projection, or in other words, Qin Yujin from four years ago slowly shifted his gaze to Gu Xunxue, and he mocked softly: "Your Majesty the Cardinal?"

"Although your biological mother committed the crime of treason, according to the law of inheritance, you are still the first heir. As long as you accept our pardon, you can leave here."

Qin Yujin was unmoved, and the same purple eyes as the man's were shining with ice-cold light: "I'm curious, why do you insist on me?"

Without waiting for Gu Xunxue to answer, Qin Yujin whispered, "Is it to deal with the military?"

Gu Xunxue was still indifferent to everything, and said indifferently: "We need a tough emperor to deal with the pressure from the Federation and the Alliance, otherwise it will shake the foundation of our rule."

"What if I don't agree?" Qin Yujin shook the chains on his body, as if he didn't feel pain, "You want to drive the lone wolf to fight for you, but you still want to pull out his teeth... How can there be such a thing in the world? good thing?"

Ruan Qiu also realized that this projection is the replay of what happened in this small courtyard four years ago.

"You will agree." Gu Xunxue didn't seem to be surprised by this answer, she just left this sentence and left calmly.

Time seemed to be accelerated. Ruan Qiu watched Qin Yujin pass the time bit by bit in this small courtyard. Every time he wanted to reach out, he thought that it was just a projection when he failed.

"Chang Ming." Augusta saw that the rain was getting heavier, worried about Ruan Qiu's body, and stepped forward to take Ruan Qiu away.

Ruan Qiu touched the cold rain on his face, raised his hand to stop him: "Let me see again."

At first Ruan Qiu didn't see anything, but the more he looked at him, the colder his heart became.

Ever since Gu Xunxue left, everyone seemed to have forgotten about this small courtyard. According to the fast-forward speed, Qin Yujin had been locked here for three days.

No water, no food...

Ruan Qiu watched helplessly as Qin Yujin bit off his wrist and drank his own blood when he was so thirsty that he couldn't take it anymore.

His nails dug deep into the palm of his hand, but Ruan Qiu couldn't feel the pain.

On the fourth day, Gu Xunxue came to the small courtyard with only enough food and water for one day. He didn't say much, just left the things on the ground and left.

Ruan Qiu knew what Gu Xunxue wanted to do.

He is "boiling the eagle".

Through such repeated torture and repeated giving of hope, Qin Yujin's will will be completely destroyed, so that he subconsciously has a conditioned reflex that he will have a good life when he arrives, and finally forms an inescapable dependence.

Sure enough, the second time I saw each other was four days after the projection time.

Ruan Qiu could only watch Qin Yujin bite off his wrist repeatedly, but he couldn't do anything.

Because this is what happened four years ago.

Ruan Qiu finally understood why when he met Qin Yujin for the first time four years later, the tooth marks on his wrist were so deep.

Augusta was afraid that there would be a trap on the projection side, so he held down Ruan Qiu who was about to step forward.

"It's okay." Ruan Qiu patted his hand, signaling him to let go of him.

He looked at Qin Yujin who was leaning against the wall and fell asleep, took a step forward, and raised his trembling hand to brush across his thinning cheek.

Qin Yujin, who was originally in a semi-comatose state, seemed to feel something, opened his chapped lips slightly, and spit out two words.

Although the voice was almost inaudible, Ruan Qiu could still hear what he was saying.

"Chirp."

Ruan Qiu blinked hard, as if trying to blink away the rain that fell into his eyes.

Qin Yujin and Gu Xunxue had been confronting each other for two whole months, and Qin Yujin was almost exhausted.

In this review, Xunxue only brought an injection.

Qin Yujin didn't have the strength to stand up anymore. He just sat on the ground and leaned against the wall to maintain his current state.

Sensing someone approaching, he slightly raised his eyelids, looked at the person, and then closed his eyes again.

Gu Xunxue didn't take it seriously, but said to herself, "I have received an interesting message here, and I want to share it with you."

Qin Yujin still kept his eyes closed.

"The little Patriarch of the Ascanian family appeared in an underground arena."

"The little Patriarch seems to be called Ruan Qiu, is that his name?"

Qin Yujin suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at Gu Xunxue, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh.

"Don't worry, he is the fighter with the highest winning percentage in the arena, and there are countless people who want to buy him."

The corners of Gu Xunxue's lips curled into an interested smile, "I heard that his mental strength is the same as yours, both at SSS level. Your body is no longer able to accept the test, maybe his is okay."

"I heard that the arena he belongs to is run by the biggest star thief leader. If the price is enough, you can still buy him, right?"

The chains that restrained Qin Yujin tightened suddenly, and the scrawny young man rushed out like an enraged beast, his hoarse roar echoed throughout the courtyard: "Gu Xunxue! What are you going to do?!"

Those eyes that had not wavered for two months erupted with a palpitating fierce light at this moment.

Augusta couldn't believe his eyes. He simply couldn't imagine that there was such power in such a body that was on the verge of death.

He had never seen Qin Yujin like this before.

The emperor of the Rose Empire is always silent, calm, and restrained, like a fire frozen in ice, and only under extremely accidental circumstances can a little bit of enthusiasm and tenderness be glimpsed.

But the Qin Yujin in front of him seemed to be an enraged wolf. If he had any hairs on his body, his roots would definitely stand on end at this moment.

Probably everyone is like this.When someone touches the most untouchable place in their heart, the lion side of all people will come out and let out a thunderous roar.

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Gu Xunxue said indifferently, "Don't you know that many people are very interested in you?"

"A living SSS-level mental power experiment that can be used at will."

"What's more... If I tell that little Patriarch that he can save you if he is willing to cooperate with the experiment, do you think he will agree?"

Gu Xunxue's voice was still so calm, "You know, there is a big man in the Federation who has a special demand for this kind of experimental product."

"With that person's help, we can not only solve the covetousness of the Federation and the Alliance, but also dismember the increasingly powerful military department. This is a situation that I, the Cardinal, and even the entire empire are happy to see."

"Now as long as I move my finger, the corresponding message will be sent to Ruan Qiu's optical brain. For you, he will be willing to sacrifice for it."

"You are using my people to realize your ambition! You killed his family and now you are pushing him into hell!" Qin Yujin had already forgotten his situation, and he tried to throw himself in front of Gu Xunxue. The barely healed wound opened again, and black blood gushed out, "Gu Xunxue, you dare to touch him!"

"Rather than talking about me, think about who he did this for." Gu Xunxue showed a faint smile on the lower half of his face that was not covered by the mask, and didn't care about Qin Yujin's threat, "Qin Yu Jin, he is doing it for you. Trading one person's life for another's is a fair deal, right?"

But the blood-soaked boy struggled, the iron chains that bound him trembled, and the blood dripped slowly along the chains.His purple eyes stared at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to pounce on him and tear his throat completely open.

Gu Xunxue took a step forward, and he didn't seem to be afraid of such a ferocious beast.He just stood in front of Qin Yujin calmly, and stabbed the injection in Qin Yujin's arm with lightning speed.

Regardless of Augusta's obstruction, Ruan Qiu rushed forward.

He knew that everything was still happening, but he couldn't remain indifferent watching this scene.

But he could only watch his hands pass through the phantom in vain.

The effect of the projection faded little by little, and the weeds covered the entire small courtyard again.

Augusta watched Qin Yujin fall to the ground, his roar gradually weakened, and finally turned into heavy gasping after another.And Ruan Qiu knelt beside him, trying to reach out to hug this person, but in the end he could only circle around the phantom in vain.

"Qin Yujin! Qin Yujin! Qin Yujin!"

The heavy rain washed over Ruan Qiu's face, but Augusta still heard whimpers mixed with roars.

"The newly developed mental disintegrant." Gu Xunxue threw the needle on the ground casually, and mocked coldly, "I hope Shen Yi can save you before you die."

At this moment, Qin Yujin could no longer hear anything, and he stretched out his hand to grab Gu Xunxue's back.

But his pupils had already started to fade.

At that time, the disintegrating potion had already started to work, but for some reason, Qin Yujin was not fainted by the extreme pain, but still had a little consciousness left.

"Gu Xunxue, you'd better be glad that I'm going to die today!" Qin Yujin murmured unconsciously, "Otherwise...I want you to regret everything you did today!"

A flash of thunder split the dark sky, and the crumbling door of the small courtyard was pushed open again, making a teeth-piercing sound.

Ruan Qiu and Augusta turned their heads to look at the same time.

Qin Yujin was standing at the door, holding a big black umbrella, and rubbing his aching temple with the other hand.

"Gu Xunxue..."

Ruan Qiu felt the restless spiritual power in the air, his expression changed, and he finally realized what the other party's purpose was for doing this.

Gu Xunxue not only wants to provoke Qin Yujin by re-introducing the past, but also wants to use this past to stimulate Qin Yujin's spiritual sea and make him lose control again!

Qin Yujin watched Ruan Qiu get up from the mud, his eyes were red, and he stumbled towards him.

He glanced at Ruan Qiu's snow-white robe stained with mud and grass, and frowned.

His chirping is very clean.

Ruan Qiu ran under the umbrella, and when he was about to reach out, he suddenly thought of his current situation, and retracted his movement a little awkwardly.

With a trembling voice, he said, "Qin Yujin..."

Before he could say anything, he immediately fell into a cedar-filled embrace.

"Jiu Jiu, don't cry."
